For some people, October is Octobear. On October 5, Katmai National Park and Prerve 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 800, 000 people got involved, turning it into a glob
al campaign.
The contest rves two main purpos. 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 wil-derness to fans' computer screens. “It's not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore. ” Fitz said.
艾饺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 the threats so far.
Fat Bear Week has spread like virus. Fans and creators say it’s becau it shows a conrva-tion 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. ”
24. Why was Bear 747 the winner?

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 rearch, led by Dr Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University （ARU）, examined the benefits of letter spacing and coloured overlays （颜色标注）am
手掌图解ong children.
Two groups of children, dyslexic （有阅读障碍的）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 ud to measure the number of errors they made - specifically misd words, added words, wrong words, and pronunciation - as well as the participants' reading time. The study discovered that text with incread space between letters provided a benefit for both groups. On average, the dyslexia group showed a 13% increa in reading speed, while the group of non-dyslexic children showed a 5% increa. In addition to improving reading speed, it also resulted in a significant decline in the number of words misd 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 red uce reading speed. ”
“Our findings strongly suggest that teachers can be confident that all children would be helped by inc
read letter spacing in reading materials. ” Dr Stagg added. “While we found that coloured overlays provided little benefit, we suggest children should be encouraged to u overlays if they find the help their reading. Coloured overlays may not increa reading speeds, but they may extend reading stamina （持久力）. Previous rearch suggests their benefits may not become ap-parent 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.
28. Which of the following best describes the rearch process in paragraph 2?
A. Illustrate, group and report.
B. Read, instruct and measure.
C. Question, assume and prove.
D. Categorize, record and count.
29. What can we learn about incread letter spacing from paragraph 3?
A. It reduces reading errors.
B. It sharpens reading skills.
C. It arous reading interest.
D. It enhances reading comprehension.
30. What does the underlined word “hamper” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Obtain.
B. Prevent.
C. Change.
D. Involve.
31. 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.

Like any doctor, Jacques Fellay wants to give his patients the best care. Hidden inside our bodies are genetic （基因的）markers that can tell him which patients could probably have dis-eas such as AIDS and provide early treatments. However, there are worries for Fellay: they con-tain nsitive details that could lead to embarrassment, discrimination or even wor.
A new kind of encryption, fully homomorphic encryption （FHE）（全同态加密）,is mak-ing it possible for data urs to run multiple operations on genetic data without eing the contents. This can help end big data’s privacy problem, and Fellay’s patients can be some of the first to benefit.
In 1978, the concept of homomorphic encryption （HE） was firstly propod. According to it, one could encrypt and share data with others, who could analyze and perform calculations on the data with no idea what it means. After getting the data back, the data ur could simply arrive at the result using the cret key and it will make total n.
In 2009, Craig Gentry firstly provided a workable FHE program. Like HE, it rests on a math-ematical idea called a homomorphism， which mostly relies on using algebra （代数）to map data from one form to another without changing its underlying structure. However, it supports mul-tiple operations on encrypted data, rather than only one calculation in HE.
Later, Gentry went on to work at IBM, which now has complicated FHE tools to run encrypted data. In the medical field, for example, it detected signs of COVID-19 infection by applying FHE to analyze the encrypted CT scans of more than 1, 500 people's lungs. In a paper published in Oc-tober 2021, the team ud FHE to collect data from multiple sources and predicted the effect of cancer treatments or the process of HIV infection, as in Fellay’s ca.
Workable, but still slow: calculations on the FHE-encrypted data could take millions of times longer than tho on raw data. But, as Goldwasr says, “If you believe that curity is not a plus, but it’s a must, ” she says, “then in some n there is no overhead. ”
32. What is Fellay concerned about?
A. Serious dias.
B. Sensitive patients.
C. The safety of personal data.
D. The lack of genetic information.
33. In what way is FHE different from HE?
A. It speeds up the analys.
B. It allows more calculations.
C. It prevents direct access to data.
D. It depends on the u of algebra.
34. What is Goldwasr’s attitude towards FHE?
A. Contradictory.
B. Unclear.
C. Favorable.
D. Intolerant.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. FHE protects privacy in the big data era.
B. FHE opens a new world for medical workers.
C. Gentry propod a new encryption technology.
D. Homomorphic encryption developed over time.

How Star Wars Changed Movie-making Forever
“May the force be with you!” If you are a Star Wars fan, then you have probably heard this phra many times. 36 So many characters, devices, and phras from the movie have become well-known. But you might be surprid to find out how much this movie has changed how movies are m
ade.
“ A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. . . ” is how Star Wars begins. Its pl ot was not ground-breaking.
37 The story was typical science fiction with lots of drama, traditional characters and good battling evil, in space and in hand-to-hand fight.
It was the special effects that made Star Wars stand out from other movies. People still talk about the light swords （剑） that could cut, burn and melt through most substances. Spaceships sped through space and landed on huge, realistic-looking space stations. 38 When Star Wars first came out in 1977, most movie theaters were stand- alone buildings, with just one movie screen. Using the money Star Wars had made for them, movie-theater owners built more theaters, leading to the multiplexes （多影厅影院）that are common today.
Theaters needed more movies to show on all the additional movie screens and in all the new multiplexes. So new movie companies sprang up, including small ones creating experimental mov-ies. 39 Some of the methods became popular and others failed. But, thanks to Star Wars, people got to e new types of movies.
