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, 700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 200, 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 did Bear 747 become the winner of Fat Bear Week in southern Alaska?
A. It gained the most pounds. B. It was the heaviest.
C. It presented the best photos. D. It was the most famous.

5、What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To show the popularity of fat bears. B.To review the history of the event.
C. To praise Mike Fitz for his work. D. To explain the role of live webcams.

6、What can we lcarm about Katmai's bears?
A. They bring tourists to the park. B. They face a population decline.
C. They remain difficult to be seen. D. They have a stable food source.

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

Years earlier. I'd been a trainee in a lab, which stuck to a traditional format. The lab head would spend much time asking the presenter a series of pointed questions. Presenters would need to know extremely small details about articles they were citing and present their research using picture-perfect analyses and graphs. So, the presentation was an untoward thing to almost anyone.

When I started my own lab, I decided to change the routine by being friendly and welcoming while asking my trainees challenging questions about their science. But for 6 years, I felt I hadn't created the lab environment I wanted.

The turning point came during the pandemic. It hit home to me that one's life isn't endless and that I need to make the most of the time I have. I decided that I wanted to become a better professor——to make a mark by training the next generation of scientists.

In my personal life, I had benefited from listening to talks by motivational speakers. So, I decided to start there. At the next lab meeting, I showed my students a video about happiness, hoping it would help them in their personal life and give us sormething light to discuss. I wasn't sure how they'd respond, but I was pleased to discover that they were interested in discussing the advice in the video afterward. In the end, I asked them whether they'd like to do similar activities in future meetings, and they said yes.

From then on, I began every lab meeting with a 20-minute team building session. My lab members and I do many activities—including analyzing and appreciating poetry. These sessions have eased tensions and opened minds, helping foster more participation later in the meeting.

So far, I have been hopeful about the lab environment we're creating. My greatest wish is to see my trainees become their best selves, understand who they are and what they want as well as reach their career goals. I am proud of the change and the difference I've made.

8、What does the underlined word "untoward" in paragraph I probably mean?
A.Harmonious. B. Embarrassing. C. Stressful. D. Appealing.

9、How did the pandemic affect the author?
A. He no longer wasted his time.
B. He decided to become a professor.
C. He realized the benefit of inspiring talks.
D. He wanted to make more contributions.

10、What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The change the author made.
B.A video the students liked.
C. The benefit the author got from others.
D.A proposal the students put forward.

11、What message does the author mainly want to deliver?
A. Team building sessions can bring unexpected benefits.
B. One should have the courage to make a change.
C. Professors are responsible for teamwork.
D. Motivational talks are the origin of inspiration.

A remarkable new study on how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century has implications for the way they react to changes caused by humans in the 21st century.

The paper is authored by Whitehead and Rendellt at Dalhousie University and their research addresses an age--old question: if whales are so smart, why did they hang around to be killed? The answer? They didn't. Using newly digitized logbooks detailing the hunting of whales in the north Pacific, the authors discovered that within just a few years, the strike rate of the whalers'harpoons (鱼叉) fell by 58%. This simple fact leads to an astonishing conclusion: that information about what was happening to them was being collectively shared among the whales, who made vital changes to their behavior. They learned quickly from their mistakes.

“Sperm whales have a traditional way of reacting to attacks from orca(杀人鲸),”notes Whitehead.Before humans,orca were their only predators(捕食者),against whom sperm whales form defensive circles,their powerful tails held outwards to keep predators at bay, "But such techniques just made it easier for the whalers to kill them,"says Whitehead.

Sperm whales are highly socialized animals, able to communicate over great distances. Information about the new dangers may have been passed on in the same way they share knowledge about feeding grounds. They also possess the largest brain on the planet. It is not hard to imagine that they understood what was happening to them.

The hunters themselves realized the whales' efforts to escape. They saw that the animals appeared to communicate the threat within their attacked groups. Abandoning their usual defensive formations, the whales swam upwind to escape the hunters, ships, themselves wind-powered.

Now, just as whales are beginning to recover from the industrial destruction by 20th-century whaling fleets, whose steamships and grenade harpoons no whale could escape from, they face new threats created by our technology. “They're having to learn not to get hit by ships, cope with the depredations (劫掠) of long line fishing. the changing source of their food due to climate change," Whitehead says. "The same sort of urgent social learning the animals experienced in the whale wars of two centuries ago is reflected in the way they negotiate today's uncertain world."

12、What is the new study mainly about?
A. Whales'social lives.
B. Whales' emotional intelligence.
C. Whale' reaction to climate changes.
D. Whales' behavior under human attack.

13、What caused whales to make changes to escape the hunters'ship?
A.The wind in their favor.
B. Their powerful physical strength.
C. The shared ship attack information.
D. Their usual defensive formations.

14、What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 5?
A. State possible reasons.
B.Add background information.
C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.

15、What's Whitehead's attitude towards whales' future survival?
A. Pessimistic. B. Unclear. C.Cautious. D. Optimistic.

16、Vegan Agriculture

Vegan farming(全素农业) has become more and more popular. It is one of the most environmentally-friendly forms of agriculture. Vegan farming is a good way to grow plants such as vegetables without using animal-derived materials such as their waste. ①________Such an approach to farming also helps preserve the environment and regain soil richness and improve its biodiversity.

②________Organic farming uses natural products to grow plants - that can include even animal waste as fertilizers. On the other hand, vegan agriculture rejects animal-derived products and usually sticks with plant-based organic compounds, which means that, in general, vegan agriculture has stricter rules than organic farming.

Additionally, vegan farming usually chooses more natural ways to protect the plants,like breaking cycles of plants'diseases with mixed cropping(混作),using mechanical barriers such as nets,or even attracting opposing organisms to fight the harmful ones. ③_______However, they might be less effective against certain plant diseases or pests.

One of the reasons to invest in vegan agriculture is that the vegan way of farming replaces synthetic(合成的)pesticides and uses organic pesticides or other non-chemical methods to protect the crops. By contrast, in conventional agriculture, synthetic pesticides are on a very high level. ④__________

In the future, it is of great significance not to rely on animals'waste for feeding plants. Doing so is not only Even if today's methods of vegan agriculture might not be perfect, scientists beneficial to vegans. ⑤_______worldwide, together with vegan farmers, are working towards developing plant-based solutions as alternatives toanimal-derived fertilizers.
A. Also, vegan farmers are far from applying synthetic fertilizers.
B.Accordingly, the amount of it in food products is much higher.
C. It is apparent that vegan agriculture is not the same as an organic one.
D. In today's world, the vegan diet and lifestyle are increasingly popular.
E. But it's also good for the whole world, including other animals and plants.
F. Those ways affect the environment less than the ways of traditional farming.
G. The rise of veganism creates new demand for more vegan-friendly agriculture.

40、答案：

Good afternoon, honorable judges and dear fellow students! It is my great honor to participate in this event- "Tell Chinese Stories in English", and my speech today is Lei Feng spirit.

2023 marks the 60th anniversary of Chairman Mao's initiating "Learn from Comrade Lei Feng". Lei Fei spirit, named after Lei Feng, a late soldier of PLA, is more than just a name in China. He is hailed as a cultural icon, symbolizing selflessness, sacrifice, hard work and patriotism. He said “There is a limit to one's life, but no limit to serving the people." With this in mind, Lei Feng fulfilled his life with selfless contribution. He said: "wherever you go, take the country into consideration." Wherever he went, he left behind him a trail of good deeds. Everyone in our school should follow Lei Feng as an example and show our love and concern to the people around us. Can you give out your seat for the elderly on bus? Yes, you can. Can you reach out your hands for classmates who need support? Yes, you can. Then you are making miracles and performing Lei Feng spirit in new era.

I sincerely hope you can truly feel the harmonious atmosphere of people's performing small and random act of kindness and that Lei Feng Spirit is being passed on through generations. Thank you all for your attention!
