A
BERLIN (AP)—A tiger escaped its enclosure at Cologne Zoo in western Germany on Saturday and killed a female keeper before being shot dead by the zoo's director, police said.
The tiger slipped through a passage between the enclosure and a neighboring storage building, where it fatally attacked the 43-year-old keeper, said police spokesman Stefan Kirchner.
“It appears the gate wasn't properly shut，” Kirchner told the Associated Press.
The zoo was evacuated and a SWAT (特警) team was called in, police said. But before it arrived the zoo's director managed to kill the tiger by climbing onto the storage building and shooting it through a skylight using a rifle.
Kirchner said it was unlikely that members of the public had witnessed the incident. “This is the darkest day of my life，” the zoo's director, Theo Pagel, was quoted as saying by Cologne newspaper Express.
The paper said on its website that the Siberian tiger was a 4-year-old male called Tltai that came to Cologne Zoo from an animal park in England. In November it fathered three cubs with a 7-year-old Siberian tiger called Hanya, according to the zoo's website.
Police said the zoo reopened after Saturday's incident, which occurred around noon. However, a planned late-night opening of the zoo has been canceled.
Cologne Zoo is one of the oldest in Germany. It was founded in 1860 and houses some 10，000 animals comprising more than 700 different species.
31．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．Tiger Escapes, Kills Keeper in German Zoo
B．Tiger Escapes in German Zoo, Shot Dead
C．German Zoo Keeper Shot Escaped Tiger
D．People Killed Escaped Tiger in Oldest Zoo in Germany
32．According to the police, what was the direct reason for the incident?
A．The zoo keeper was a new hand.
B．The gate was not closed appropriately.
C．The zoo had neglected the secret passage.
D．It was very dark when the incident happened.
33．What did the zoo do after the incident?
A．They honored the killed person in a way.
B．They paid SWAT for their timely help.
C．They returned the tiger's three cubs to England.
D．They called off the late-night opening.
34．What can we learn about the Cologne Zoo?
A．It keeps a large variety of species.
B．It is one of the largest zoos in Germany.
C．It has a history of more than 700 years.
D．No such incident has happened before.

From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
35．People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ________．
A．are ready to change their minds B．are easily affected by windy weather
C．don't have the power to face their fate D．can't exercise control over themselves
36．It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that ________．
A．whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
B．developing confidence is the key to future success
C．thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D．setting our expectations is essential before taking action
37．The last paragraph serves as ________．
A．the proof of the author's points B．the conclusion of the argument
C．an introduction to another topic D．a comparison between two views
38．Which is the best title for the text?
A．Success is a choice B．The secrets of success
C．Develop our confidence D．How to achieve success
C
In my dual profession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was born infected with HIV; his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medication to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were fastened to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn't willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at(大为惊讶) his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler's mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.
This deadly disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little of a dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler beckoned(示意) me over to his hospital bed and whispered, “I might die soon. I'm not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she's coming to heaven, too. I'll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”
39．What happened to Tyler in his early age?
A．He was independent on medication to survive.
B．He got a tube in his chest.
C．His mother was infected with HIV.
D．He had inserted a pump on his back.
40．Why did Tyler wear a backpack?
A．Because he thought it was cool and fashionable.
B．Because there was a pump in it, which could help with his disease.
C．Because the doctor and his mom asked him to wear it.
D．Because he had no right to choose but to wear it.
41．After reading Paragraph 4, we can know ________．
A．the relationship between Tyler and his mom is not good
B．Tyler's mom loved him and was unwilling to tell him about the disease
C．Tyler's mom is as weak as him because of the disease
D．Tyler loved his mom very much
42．What does the author want to tell us by writing this passage?
A．People who are infected with HIV will die soon.
B．Having a positive attitude will keep you from the deadly disease.
C．Even a child can teach us a lot and be respected.
D．Everyone should have great courage to face the problems.
D
I used to look into my closet and see clothes. But_these_days,_whenever_I_cast_my_eyes_on_shoes_and_jackets,_I_see_water.
It takes 569 gallons (加仑) to manufacture (制造) a T-shirt, from its start in the cotton fields to its appearance on store shelves. A pair of shoes? 1，247 gallons.
Until last fall, I'd been oblivious (不在意的) to my “water footprint”， which is defined (定义) as the total volume of freshwater that is used to produce goods and services. It was through the Green Blue Book by Thomas M Kostigen that I was able to see how my own actions contributed.
I've been feeling pretty satisfied with myself for all the drinking water I've saved: I've put in water-recycling systems to reuse the waste water from my washing machine and bathtub. I've set up rain barrels (桶) to collect storm water flooding from my roof.
But now I realize that my daily consumption choices are using an amazing amount of water. Calculating the water footprint of my breakfast, lunch and dinner, I'm using 512 gallons of water each day just to feed myself.
In a word: amazing.
Even more alarming was how much hidden water I was using to get dressed. It takes 7，996 gallons to make a leather jacket. It takes 2，866 gallons of water to make a single pair of blue jeans.
I realized I could make some simple lifestyle changes. My late resolution is to buy some items used. And I have no problem shopping less. I had a hamburger recently, and I enjoyed it a lot more since it is now an occasional treat rather than a weekly habit.
43．What does the underlined sentence “But these days, whenever I cast my eyes on shoes and jackets, I see water.” mean in the first paragraph?
A．The author can see water in clothes.
B．The author likes water.
C．The author can know how much water was used to make shoes and jackets.
D．The author likes saving water.
44．What is “water footprint”？
A．It is described as the whole volume of freshwater used to produce goods and services.
B．It is the footprint that people leave.
C．It is the water that people drink.
D．It is the water wasted.
45．Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage?
A．The author had cared about his “water footprint” by last fall.
B．The author has been feeling rather content with himself for all the drinking water he's saved.
C．He has put in water-recycling systems to reuse the waste water from his washing machine and bathtub.
D．He didn't like hamburgers.
46．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A．Eating hamburgers is the author's favorite.
B．A simple change in lifestyle can help reduce water footprint.
C．The author goes shopping less.
D．The author often buys second-hands.

NEW YORK—Movie studios and television programmers have postponed or canceled violent films and TV shows after a shooting left 20 children and six adults dead in a Connecticut elementary school last week.
Viacom Inc. 's . Paramount studios delayed the premiere(首映式)of “Jack Reacher，” an action-thriller based on the Lee Child novels starring Tom Cruise that was scheduled for Dec. 15, the day after the murders. Separately, Discovery Communications Inc. canceled the new season of “American Guns，”a reality-based serial about a family of gunmakers, Fox News reported.
CBS Corp. 's Showtime cable(有线的) channel acknowledged the connecticut killings—the second-most fatal mass shooting in the U. S. —before recent airings(播放) of “Dexter，” a show about a serial killer, and “Homeland”， a popular series about domestic terrorism.
The killings by a single gunman armed with two handguns and a semi-automatic rifle have caused debates over the need for gun control and violence in Hollywood's movies. President Barack Obama said he would “use whatever power this office holds” to prevent further tragedies.
“Due to the terrible tragedy in Newtown，Connecticut, and out of honor and respect for the families of the victims whose lives were senselessly taken, we are postponing tomorrow's Pittsburgh premiere of ‘Jack Reacher，’”Paramount said in an e-mailed statement on Dec. 14. “Our hearts go out to all those who lost loved ones.”

It was far better than I had been expected. Now every family can drink cleanly running water. The villagers needn't carry water himself any more. Firewood is no longer used for cooking. Marsh gas, a new cheap clean energy, make it very convenient to cook and light. As all the families have color TV set, they can enjoy plays at home.

阶段评估检测(四)
第一部分
第一节
1．C 考查冠词的用法。句意：如果你站在顶楼，你会看得更清楚一些。第一个空the top floor表示特指，第二个空表泛指。

7．C 从结构看，help he can get是名词性从句，故排除B、D两项，因为“疑问副词＋ever”不能引导名词性从句。从句意看，本题应该选C，意思是“无论什么帮助”。
8．A 考查交际用语。由答语的句子可知，答话者对此评价很高，所以选A，something在这里指的是：了不起的东西。
9．D 考查动词短语辨析。句意：——你们为什么来得这么晚？——我们被糟糕的交通给阻挡了。set up搭起，建设； put up张贴，举起，留宿； bring up提出，教育，抚养； hold up举起，阻挡，拦截。

In the winter vacation, I paid a visit ∧to a mountain village in a suburb of Handan. No sooner had I got off the bus whenthan I was greatly surprisingsurprised to see all the changes. It was far better than I had expected. Now every family can drink cleanlyclean running water. The villagers needn’t carry water himselfthemselves any more. Firewood is no longer used for cooking. Marsh gas, a new cheap clean energy, makemakes it very convenient to cook and light. As all the families have color TV setsets, they can enjoy plays at home. ItWhat impressed me most was that the best building in athe village was the school. I hope the mountain village will become better and better.
第三节
One possible version：
Boys_and_girls，
Our_great_motherland_has_seen_2012_London_Olympic_Games,_and_we_admire_all_the_Olympic_Champions_very_much.
All the Olympic Champions have much in common. They go all out to be excellent—swifter, higher, and stronger. They show respect for everyone. Besides, faced with one failure after another, they never give up.
How can we become a champion in real life and make a difference? Firstly, we must set a goal, which will inspire us to pursue what we want, no matter what difficulties we may come across. Secondly, concentration and a good state of mind are decisive factors in success. What's more, we must learn to deal with stress, build up self-confidence and try to focus on our goals all the time. Only in this way can we become a champion in real life!
That's_all._Thank_you!
