Section A

News Report One

A New Jersey black bear that walks upright on its two back legs and has become a social media darling has re-emerged and has been captured on video months after its last sighting. The bear named Pedals was spotted in the town of Oak Ridge. In a video posted to Facebook featuring the bear, it appeared to be in relatively good health and was moving quickly. (1) Pedals apparently has an injured leg or paw that doesn’t allow it to walk comfortably on all fours according to experts. Lawrence Hajna, spokesman for the state Department of Environmental Protection, said officials expect the bear to make it through next winter. (2) The bear first gained fame after it was spotted wandering around neighborhoods and was caught on videos that were posted on social media and shown on national television. Last year, supporters pushed for Pedals to be moved to a shelter, but New Jersey officials have said they won’t allow the bear to be captured and transferred to the facility. “The bear would do better in its natural habitat and the agency would step in if its condition deteriorated,” they said.

1. What is the probable reason the bear walks upright on its back legs?

2. How is the bear first known to the public?

三、答案

1. D) It has got one of its limbs injured.
2. C) Its videos Were posted on social media.

【翻译】

在新泽西州，一只依靠两条后腿直立行走的黑熊成为了社交媒体的宠儿，

在距离上次曝光1个月后，它再次出现并被拍摄了视频。

这只名叫Pedals的熊出现在橡树岭镇上。

从发布在脸书上的视频中可以看出来，这只熊简况状态良好，行动敏捷。

专家表示：“很显然，Pedals的一条腿或一只熊掌受伤了，因此无法正常用四肢行走。”

美国国务院环境保护署发言人Laurence Hajna说道：

“工作人员们希望这只熊能安然度过即将到来的冬天。”

有人最初发现这只熊在居民区里四处游荡，

拍摄了视频并发布在社交媒体上，国家电视台也播放了，黑熊也因此出名了。

去年，支持者们要求将Pedals转移到庇护所。

但新泽西州的官员们表示，他们不会允许这只熊被捕获并转移到该场所内。

他们称：“这只熊在它的自然栖息地会生活得更好，如果环境恶化，环境保护署将会介入。”

请根据你刚刚听到的新闻报道回答问题1和问题2。

问题1：这只熊用后腿直立行走的原因可能是什么？

问题2：这只熊最初是如何出名的？
