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 welgl 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 urouud 1,400 pounds.
Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Thesday.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 ofAmerica'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 bringsattentionto the bears and the ecosystems they live in.The 2,200bears ofKatmai
are strong for feeding on some of the healthest salmon (in the world,said Sara Wolman,a former park
keeper.Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from over fishing,dam consuuction and warming rivers due
to clim_te change.Luckily,Brooks River,which Katmai's bears like to fish in,has been free from these threats so
far.
Fat Bear Week has spreadlike 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 orhabitat 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.”

One day I typed into ChatGPT al about my upset feelings and it instantly responded,offering a list of practical
advice.Nowadays millions of people are already turning to ChatGPT and specialist therapy (chatbots for
convenient and inexpensive mental health supnort.
Some experts say thie is a boon.Atter all,AI,undisturbed by embarassment and burnout,might be able to
express empathy (more openly and trelessly than humans But others worry about the consequences of
people seeking emotional support frommachines thateonly pretend to care.Some even wonder if the rise of
so-called empathetic AI might change the way we interact with one another.Indeed,empathy is one of our species'
defining qualities,developing as it did in pace with social interaction.
One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980 and 2019 which shows that
the empathiser must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling.They must also be affected by those
emouons and ditferentiate between themselves and the other person,grasping that theother person's feelings aren't
their own while still being able to imagine their experience.
On the first point,in recent years,AI-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human
er.otions,most powered by large language models(LLMs)that work by predicting which words are most likely to
appear togemer based on training data.In this way,LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and
respond appropriately most of the time.But when it comes to the othrr critoria,AI still misses the mark in many
ways.Emrpathy is interpersonal,with continued feedback helping to perfect the empathiser's response,which also
requires some degree of intuitive awareness ot an individual and their situation.
All of this helps to explain conversations like the ones I had with ChatGPT.At the end of the day,despite
talking to multiple chatbots online,I did what I knew I had to doall along:I picked upmy phone and called a friend
28.What does the underlined word "boon"in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Trap.
B.Prize.
C.Blessing.
D.Challenge.
29.What does th:recent analysis show about empathy?
A.It calls for clear communication.
B.It starts with emotion identificatiop.
C.It rules out individual difference:
D.It depends on rich imagination.
30.What can AI do according to paragraph 4?
A.Provide data-driven feedback.
B.Recognize one's real desire
C.Update large language models.
D.Predict one's behavior by intuition.
31.What does the author think of ChatGPT?
A.Its development should be spec up
B.Its intelligence is winning more favor.
C.Its application should be strictly manage..
D.Its artificial kindness is no match for humans'.

The rechargeable lithium-ion (battery market is worth more than 50 billion.Lithium-ion batterie:
whose demand continues to goup day by day,are used in a wide range of olectronic devices.They are made of
four main components,and cathode (is one of them.The cathode's active material type is what determines
the capacity of a battery.
Arecent study,led by Wang Yan,4 tatertal sctenast of Worcester Polytechnic Institute,finds that lithium-ion
batteries made with recycled cathodes work better than those with new cathodes.
"The battery industty s expected to gr sharply in the next decade.This high demand has led companies to
go to extremes,like increasing deep-sea mining,to gain accesste the minerals used in lithium-ion batteries,"Wang
第4页(共8页)
said."Mining minerals will have environmental impacts.Recycling spent lithium-ion batteries offers a way out"
But until now,the prospect of using recycled raterials in lithium-ion battenes has some manutacturers
worrying that it could impact performance.Thus,lithium-ion batteries are still not widely recycled.Aware of
decreasing resources and environmental impact,Wang and other researchers set out to find a way to make recycling
lithium-ion batteries economically practical Through experiments,they could recover more than 90%of the key
metals from spent batteries.These recoveredmetals became the basis of the new recycled battery's cathode's active
material.
In tests between Wang's team's recycled batteries and brand-new batteries of the same composition,the
recycled batteries outperform the new ones in their ability to maintain capacity It took 11.600 charge cycles for
recycled cathode batteries to lose 30 percent of their onginal capacicy.That was about 50 percent better than the
7,600 observed cycles fornew cathode batteries,the team reported Those thousands of extra cyctes could translate
into years of better battery performance,even after repeated use and recharging.
32.What can we learn about ittrum-ion batteries from the tirst paragraph?
A.They are high in price.
B.They are in great demand.
C.They are limited id uce.
D.They are simple in composition.
33.What does Wang mainly talk about in paragraph 3?
A.The targetuss of recycled batteries.
B.The ways to get minerals for batteries.
C.The tnajor reasons for recycling batteries.
D.The complex process of recycling batteries.
34.What are the manufacturers concerned about?
A.Declining minoral resources.
B.Difficult recycling techniques.
C.Serious environmental problems
D.Inefficient battery performance.
35.Which of the following details best supports the main idea of the text?
A.The battery industry is going to develop dramatically.
B.Recycling batteries reduces impact on the environment.
C.Scientists can recover key materials from spent batteries.
D.Recycled batteries outperfori new ones in charging circles.

36 So many characters,deviccs,ahd phrases from the movie have become well-known.But you might be
surprised-to find outhow much this movie has changed how movies are made.
"A long time ago in a galaxy far,far away..."is how Star Wars begins.Its plot was not ground-breaking.
37 The story was typical science fiction with lots ofdrama,traditional characters and good battlin gevil,in space
and in hand-to-hand fight.
38:People still talk about the light swords()that could cut,burn and melt through most substances.
Spaceships sped through space and landed on huge,realistic-looking space stations.39 When Star Wars
tirst came outin 1977,mostmovie theaters werestand-alone buildings,with just onemovie screen.Using the money
Star形%ars had made for them,movie-theater owners built more theaters,leading to the multiplexes(多影厅影院)
that are cormon today
Theaters needed more movies to show on all the additional movie screens and in all the new multiplexcs.So

As a writer,I miss rejection slips(退稿通知单).Not that I enjoyed receiving those pre-printed slips of paper,
but at least when I got one,I waspretty sure that a flesh-and-blood 41 had put ft in the envelope.And there
was always the chanceImightsee ahandwrittensentenceon the bottom,42 the piece almost made it.When
an editor at McCall's wrote,"I'm afraidIhaveto say noon this 43 piece,buttry me againon another,would
you?"It was almost as 44 to me as if she had said."We'll 45 it and here is an.advance for you".
Nowadays,rejectionslips seemto havedisappeared with the use ofonline submissions.Most editors don't feel
it a must to 46 they have reooived,read,or considered your work because they receive so many 47
each day.
For me,there are three 48 of rejcction slip pain.The first is 49 brought on by finding a flat
"no"on a 50 piece of paper,then followed by anger (how could they 51 a piece that is obviously
so much 52 than most of the stuff they print),and,finally,rebirth:I will live to 53 a new piece
another day.
Learning to 54 rejection seeins like part of growing up as a writer.Despite the many letters of
acceptance I have received,my folder of"Noteworthy Rejection Slips"is far 55 than that of"Noteworthy
Acceptances",which shows me the fact:I still have some growing up to do.

Returning to Roots
As the economic downtum cast a shadow,my life also took an unexpected turn.The company I had worked
for over a decade laid me off,leaving me frustrated with the highcost ofurban living.It was time to leave andretum
to my roots-a rural farmhouse I had inherited from my grandfather.
Driving back to the countryside recalled a flood of memories-the country road,the wooden cottage,the
back yard garden...Yes!The garden!As a child,that garden was a magical place for me,an oasis burstino
with colors and lifo.The bright sunflowers,elegant lilies and a wooden swing had been my playground,where my
imagination ran wild among the fluttering (butterflies.I can well remember the gardening time spent with
my grandfather.I would follow him around with a small watering can,often more water landing on my shoes than
on the thirsty plants.Those were moments of pure joy and laughter,schoed by the splash (and my
grandfather's gentle laugh.
However,aswe approach.d,myheartsank.Thehouse,once the Eden (ofrural charm,stoodneglected.
Windows broken and faded paint falling off the walls,all filied with the unpleasant smell.I hesitated to take a step
further.What would my loved oasis be like?I dared not imagine.
In contrast,mychildren,Emmaand Jack,were immediatelyattracted.Withdelight,they dashedinto thehouse,
exploring and playing just as I had at their age.When they opened the door of the back yard,something amazing
happened.Through it lay the garden,untended and wild,yet undeniably beautiful.Overgrown with wildflowers and
tall grasses,it had a purely natural beauty that seemed to be full of life The sight sparked an immediate reaction
from my kids.They dashed mto the garden,with infectious laughter echoing through the air.
Just then,my wife came up,tappingmy shoulder."Naturealways finds a way to start over.doesn't it?"she
said with a smile that warmed my heart.Her words,filled with wisdorn and optimism,echoed around us,mixed
with the chorus of rustling(沙'沙声)leaves and birdsong
