Test 11
Read the following article and answer the questions given below. (10 marks)
The shrinking world of the Polar bear

Polar bears live in the Arctic, which is one of the planet’s coldest environments. They move
around on the Arctic ice sheets and swim in the coastal waters. They feed mainly on seals, which
they catch with their huge paws when the seals are resting on the ice or coming up to breathe.
However, global warming is changing their way of life.

Climate change is a problem for the bears. As the sea ice melts, they can’t move around and
hunt so freely. They get very hungry and begin to starve. They’re actually very good at starving
for a time – they can starve for several months. But eventually they need to eat. This is why they’re
shifting their habitat. They’re spending more time on land and less on the ice. They’re going into
towns and villages and looking for food in rubbish bins. They’re not afraid of people and may
attack them when they’re very hungry.

Polar bears can’t live with people, but their natural habitat is disappearing. How will they
survive?

1. Where do polar bears live?
