    For some people, October is October. On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as "Bear Force One", took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds.

    Fat Bear Week started in 2014. At first, it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1, 700votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign.

    The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America's national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska's wilderness to fans' computer screens. "It's not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore." Fitz said.

    Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon(三文鱼) in the world, said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai's bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far.

    Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it's because it shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don't have to focus on climate change or habitat loss. "Maybe things aren't super great all the time in the world," said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. "But there are some really fat bears in Alaska."

4、Why was Bear 747 the winner?

A. It was the heaviest. B. It was the most famous.

C. It gained the most pounds. D. It presented the best photos.

5、What is the purpose of paragraph 2?

A. To praise Mike Fitz for his work. B.To review the history of the event.

C. To show the popularity of fat bears. D. To explain the role of live webcams.

6、What can we learn about Katmai's bears?

A. They bring tourists to the park. B. They have a stable food source.

C.They remain difficult to be seen. D. They face a population decline.

7、Which can be the best title for the text?

A. Fat Bear Week: Conservation Is Joyful

B. Brown Bears: Winter Survival Is Crucial

C. Bear 747: A Fat Yet Healthy Champion

D. Katmai's Bears: A Special Beauty Contest

    Whether you admit it or not, people's love for Christmas jumpers(毛衣) around Christmas has increased over recent years. And while you may be less willing to get involved in the Christmas jumper trend, Christmas Jumper Day now enables you to do more with your jumper than build up sweat in an incredibly warm office.

    The origin of the Christmas jumper can date back to the late 19th century in the USA. Americans in the 1930s knitted(编织)for Christmas to create an item of clothing to keep them "warm" during the tough period- the Great Depression. They copied the jumpers they saw their favorite stars wearing on the big screen. From the1950s, it was common to see American families wearing festive jumpers as they sat down to eat their Christmas dinner.

    Now, alongside wearing a festive jumper for the fun of it, there are other positive outcomes. Christmas Jumper Day has been set up to encourage people to make the world better and raise funds tor Save the Children by wearing a Christmas jumper and making a minimum donation of £1. Ladbrokes, a company, in the UK, is running a competition in which all you have to do is take a selfie(自拍) outside of one of their shops while wearing a jumper- the winner will win a good prize and for every submission Ladbrokes will donate £5 to St. Luke's Hospital charity. For you, it's a win-win situation.

    If you're still unconvinced that it's about time you bought yourself a Christmas jumper, then maybe the fact that Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg have all been spotted wearing Christmas jumpers will raise your enthusiasm. Retailers(零售商) such as Topshop, Burberry and H&M have also become committed to Christmas Jumper Day and have their very own types of Christmas jumpers.

8、What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. Christmas jumpers serve many functions.

B. Wearing Christmas jumpers in the office has been a trend.

C. Christmas jumpers have gained huge popularity.

D. Everyone should have a Christmas jumper.

9、For what reason did Americans in the 1930s make Christmas jumpers?

A. To protect them from cold weather. B. To lift their spirits.

C.To follow the stars they like. D. To establish a tradition.

10、What does the author mean by saying "it's a win-win situation" in Paragraph 3?

A. You may help others and win some money.

B. You may raise awareness and save resources.

C.You may make a donation and achieve fame.

D. You may get some aid and promote Ladbrokes.

11、Why does the author mention Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg?

A. To encourage people to donate Christmas jumpers.

B. To show the significance of Christmas Jumper Day.

C. To persuade readers to purchase a Christmas jumper.

D. To prove Christmas jumpers are popular among stars.

    According to a new study from Oxford Economics, a rise in artificial intelligence will result in an increase in "income inequality" as they estimate that 20 million manufacturing jobs will be lost in the next 11 years. In China alone, there could be 14million robots taking work currently done by humans by 2030. While in the United States, more than 1.5 million workers would have lost their employment to technology by 2030.

    The report predicts the use of robots worldwide has increased to 2.25 million over the past two decades. The researchers said, "As a result of robotisation, tens of millions of jobs will be lost, especially in poorer economies that rely on lower-skilled workers, which will therefore translate into an increase in income inequality."

    However, the researchers noted how "robotisation" has the potential to boost productivity and economic growth. They predicted a 5.3 percent rise in global gross domestic product(GDP) in 2030. The report said, "This means adding an extra $4.9 trillion per year to the global economy by 2030(in today's prices)."

    The report remained positive about the use of automation and urged lawmakers not to sand in the way of robots in the workplace, despite the threat of job losses.

    The researchers said, "These findings should not lead policy-makers to seek to prevent the adoption of robot technology. Instead, the challenge should be to distribute the robot profits more evenly by helping workers prepare for and adapt to the big changes it will bring about. Explore all policy options from training, initiatives(新方案) and new welfare programs such as universal basic income."

12、What is the number of potential job loss in Oxford Economics report based on?

A. Accurate figures.  B. Official statistics.

C. Artificial intelligence. D. Approximate calculation.

13、What can we infer about the trend of robotisation in manufacturing industry?

A. It may enlarge the gap between rich and poor.

B. It has helped increase the global income.

C. It may increase international competition in lawmaking.

D.It has been universally recognized.

14、What do the researchers suggest to policy-makers in the last paragraph?

A. Boosting national economic development.

B. Providing citizens with lifelong education.

C. Slowing down the spread of robot technology.

D. Protecting workers' interests by making new plans.

15、What's the researchers' attitude towards "robotisation"?

A. Skeptical. B. Favorable.  C.Conservative. D. Tolerant.

38、答案：

    Last Tuesday, the Students' Union in our school advised that Senior Three students do something for their parents on their 18th birthdays. All the students are active in responding it and most of them have come up with their ideas. Some say is meaningful to express their as well as love for their parents through a letter. Others prefer to cook a big meal to show that they've already grown up.

    As for me, I want to do up hair wash feet for my parents. By doing my parents have been doing for me I can really know how much they've devoted to me up. Being 18 years old that we should learn to be independent and that we should be responsible for .

39、答案：

    The 54th World Earth Day, with the theme of "Earth for All", was observed on April 22nd this year. There are a series of activities centered around this in our school. To promote students' awareness of protecting our earth and add green to our planet, I'm writing to call on everyone to participate in the tree planting activity to be held next Sunday.

    As we all know, trees are powerful. A tree is a vacuum cleaner, because it can release oxygen and reduce harmful gases including carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by absorbing them, providing clean and fresh air for people to breathe. Meanwhile, a tree also serves as a pump. It absorbs water from the soil which will be converted into steam through leaves and evaporated as a sprayer and humid air. Besides, a tree is a natural fertilizer. When the leaves fall on the ground, they will gradually rot, and the rotten leaves are the nutrient sources of fertile soil.

    From what I've stated above, it's obvious that trees play a vital role in our daily life. It's high time that we should take immediate action to plant more trees and add some green to our earth. I'm convinced that, with our joint efforts, our living conditions will get greatly improved.
