Brown bears get fat to survive (生存). And Fat Bear Week is to celebrate the bears' success in preparation for winter hibernation (冬眠). It began in 2014. Fat Bear Week 2023 is from October 4th to October 10th.Why are fat bears important? For bears, fat is important for survival. Katmai's brown bears are the fattest in late summer and early autumn. During hibernation, bears do not eat or drink and can lose one-third of their body weight. Their winter survival depends on(取决于) the fat they have.To get fat, bears eat the richest food they can find. There is a lot of salmon (鮭鱼) in Brooks River. Lots of bears get together at Brooks River to enjoy salmon from late June until mid-October. Maybe bears can't feed on salmon for so long in other rivers on Earth. So there is no other river as important as Brooks River for bears.Fat bears are successful bears. They are an example of the richness of K atmai National Park and Bristol Bay, Alaska.

People often perform on the night before the Chinese New Year. People think the lion dance can bring good luck and success.There are many different stories about how the lion dance began. One of them is like this: Hundreds of years ago, a monster (怪兽) called Nian came to a village in China. The villagers were afraid. A lion drove Nian away. A year later, Nian came back, but this time the lion couldn't help. Because of that, the villagers made a "lion" by themselves and performed the lion dance to drive Nian away. For this reason, people began to perform the lion dance to drive bad luck away.There are some differences between the southern lion dance and the northern one. In the southern lion dance, the dancers try hard to perform like a real lion. Their "lion" may shake its body. The dance can be funny. The other kind is the northern lion dance. It has more skills like rolling, leaping and jumping. Both kinds are very interesting to watch, but it takes a lot of practice to perform well. It's never easy to learn them.12．When do people perform a lion dance?_____________________________________________________________________ 13．According to the story, what was the name of the monster?_____________________________________________________________________ 14．How did people drive Nian away a year later?_____________________________________________________________________15．How many kinds of lion dances are there in China?_____________________________________________________________________阅读下面的短文，将划线部分翻译成中文或英文。

It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any given day. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sister’s friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me around at the carnival. He did not let me down.Well, the carnival is all about the samba (桑巴舞). It’s a style of music and dance which comes from Africa. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals (和声). It is the kind of music that you couldn’t help dancing to. And I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd.Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba Parade (游行) inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools take part in the competition. But we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street.So, you must be wondering how the samba parade was in Sambadrome. ★. Ronnie and I never made into Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and itwas truly amazing.61. The underlined words “it blew my mind” in the passage probably mean __________.A. it made me tiredB. it brought me childhood memoriesC. it raised some questions in my mindD. it made me very surprised and excited62.

Because she celebrated the festival in a local wayD. Because the ticket for the parade was not expensive64. Which of the following sentence can be put in ★?A. I agree with youB. It’s really a good ideaC. Well, I’m afraid I can’t tell youD. But I have never heard of it before65. What would be the best title for the passage?A. An Amazing CarnivalB. An Unforgettable Street PartyC. A Story Behind the Samba ParadeD. Learning Samba in Rio de JaneiroCI grew up in the countryside of Poland. It’s an area where skiing is popular, but my family was poor. I couldn’t afford to ride the ski lift, so I used to hike up with the skis on my back. It turned out that this was good practice.K2 is nicknamed “savage (野蛮的) mountain”. You hear tragic stories: For every four people who reach the summit, one dies. I was too afraid to even think about skiing down it. Even the best ski mountaineers thought it impossible.But that changed after a training expedition (考察) to Broad Peak. I got a clear look at K2’sextremely large face, and it inspired me. Over time, my skills improved and, by 2017, I didn’t feel the fear anymore. I began preparations.Why attempt such a feat (壮举)? I love nature, and I love setting goals. To be the first to do it just adds to the challenge. Fear is an important part of life, but to ski down K2, I had to stop being afraid.At the base camp, I felt calm and prepared. There were no emotions or doubts--I just knew I could do it. But there were challenges. At the third base camp, 7, 000 meters up, my safety guy suffered severe back pain. We waited for 36 hours after he got better, and I decided to proceed. In total, it took about three days to reach the summit.For many climbers, getting to the peak of K2 would be the defining moment of their lives. For me, it was where the real challenge began. Skiing down a mountain demands patience and endurance (耐力).The most dangerous part was the Messner Traverse. It’s pure ice, up to a75-degree angle in places, with drops on either side. You need to keep your turns and movements smooth and confident. No one had challenged it before, so it was a relief to cross it.In total, going down the mountain took about seven hours. When I finally skied into camp, I was too tired tostand up.I am so proud of what I achieved. No one thought it could be done. It taught me the value of patience and that nobody else can make your dreams come true.66.

The underlined word “proceed” in paragraph 5 probably means __________.A. give upB. go onC. get upD. go back69. What are the best words to describe the author?A. Confident and honest.B.
