2．For some people，October is Octobear.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.Bear747，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 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，F(xiàn)at 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 （三文魚(yú)） 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."
（1）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.
（2）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.
（3）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.
（4）Which can be the best title for the text？

C．Bear 747：A Fat Yet Healthy Champion.
D．Katma's Bears：A Special Beauty Contest.組卷：28引用：4難度：0.5 -
3．A new study has found that a child's reading speed can be improved by simply increasing the space between letters within a piece of text.The research，led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University（ARU），examined the benefits of letter spacing and coloured overlays（顏色標(biāo)注）among children.
Two groups of children，dyslexic（有閱讀障礙的）and non-dyslexic children，were asked to read four texts with either standard or extra-large letter spacing，both with and without a coloured overlay.They were instructed to read the text out loud while being recorded.The recording was used to measure the number of errors they made —specifically missed words，added words，wrong words，and pronunciation—as well as the participants' reading time.
The study discovered that text with increased space between letters provided a benefit for both groups.On average，the dyslexia group showed a 13% increase in reading speed，while the group of non-dyslexic children showed a 5% jye.aicrease.In addition to improving reading speed，it also resulted in a significant decline in the number of words missed by the children with dyslexia.However，the study found that coloured overlays had no significant impact on reading speed or the reduction of errors for either group.
Dr Stagg，Senior Lecturer in Psychology at ARU，said："We believe extra-large letter spacing works by reducing what is known as the 'crowding effect'，which can hamper the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed."
"Our findings strongly suggest that teachers can be confident that all children would be helped by increased letter spacing in reading materials."Dr Stagg added."While we found that coloured overlays provided little benefit，we suggest children should be encouraged to use overlays if they find these help their reading.Coloured overlays may not increase reading speeds，but they may extend reading stamina（持久力）.Previous research suggests their benefits may not become apparent if reading time is less than 10 minutes and the short reading duration of the tests in our study may have put coloured overlays at a disadvantage."
（1）Which of the following best describes the research process in paragraph 2？
A．Illustrate，group and report.
B．Read，instruct and measure.
C．Question，assume and prove.
D．Categorize，record and count.
（2）What can we learn about increased letter spacing from paragraph 3？
A．It reduces reading errors.
B．It sharpens reading skills.
C．It arouses reading interest.
D．It enhances reading comprehension.
（3）What does the underlined word"hamper"in paragraph 4 probably mean？
A．Obtain.
B．Prevent.
C．Change.
D．Involve.
（4）What can be inferred about coloured overlays from paragraph 5？
A．They might not have been evaluated fairly.
B．They might not be recommended by experts.
C．They might work better in short reading.
D．They might have some disadvantages.組卷：28引用：6難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Hector stood in the front of his fifth-grade classroom as one of the last two competitors in the Room Five Geography Bee.His opponent having missed the last question，it was Hector's turn.If he answered his question correctly，he would be the Room Five champion.
"Where did I put that second sheet of questions？" Mr.Adler whispered while searching through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk.Mr.Adler，though a great teacher，had a reputation of being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things. "Oh well，I apologize for the delay." said Mr.Adler after what seemed like a long time. "Hector，please tell us the capital city of Brazil." Hearing the question，Hector smiled.Then，there was the answer.
Later that day in the courtyard，many classmates congratulated Hector.Wearing a proud smile，he greeted and thanked them all.Oh，the sweet taste of victory.
As it was getting late，the courtyard became deserted.But Hector still didn't want to leave.Then he saw Mr.Adler crossing the courtyard and holding a half-open bag full of papers.As he hurried past，an envelope dropped out but Mr.Adler was unaware，turned a corner and disappeared out of sight.Hector picked it up.On the envelope were the words "Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers".Hector stared wide-eyed at the envelope.Before he even had time to reflect on the consequences，he opened it and read the questions.
As soon as Hector had done it，he knew it was the wrong choice.He'd cheated and whatever he did now，he couldn't change the fact. "What if Mr.Adler thought I stole this morning's questions too？" Hector thought. "He'd take away my Room Five victory for sure." Little did he know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly.Torn by his conscience，Hector was totally at a loss what to do.
