But before it arrived the zoos 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 zoos director, Theo Pagel, was quoted as saying by Cologne newspaper Express.The paper said on its website that the Siberian tiger was a 4yearold male called Tltai that came to Cologne Zoo from an animal park in England. In November it fathered three cubs with a 7yearold Siberian tiger called Hanya, according to the zoos website.Police said the zoo reopened after Saturdays incident, which occurred around noon. However, a planned latenight 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.36Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?ATiger Escapes, Kills Keeper in German ZooBTiger Escapes in German Zoo, Shot DeadCGerman Zoo Keeper Shot Escaped TigerDPeople Killed Escaped Tiger in Oldest Zoo in Germany37According to the police, what was the direct reason for the incident?AThe zoo keeper was a new hand.BThe gate was not closed appropriately.CThe zoo had neglected the secret passage.DIt was very dark when the incident happened.38What did the zoo do after the incident?AThey honored the killed person in a way.BThey paid SWAT for their timely help.CThey returned the tigers three cubs to England.DThey called off the latenight opening.39What can we learn about the Cologne Zoo?AIt keeps a large variety of species.BIt is one of the largest zoos in Germany.CIt has a history of more than 700 years.DNo such incident has happened before.BFrom 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 selfesteem. Your level of selfesteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low selfesteem 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 positivethinking 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.40People with low selfesteem are compared to leaves because they _Aare ready to change their minds Bare easily affected by windy weatherCdont have the power to face their fate Dcant exercise control over themselves41It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that _Awhether we will succeed depends on our attitudesBdeveloping confidence is the key to future successCthoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mindDsetting our expectations is essential before taking action42The last paragraph serves as _Athe proof of the authors points Bthe conclusion of the argumentCan introduction to another topic Da comparison between two views43Which is the best title for the text?ASuccess is a choice BThe secrets of successCDevelop our confidence DHow to achieve successCIn 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 wasnt 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 medicineladen 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. Tylers 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 HIVinfected mother. When it became apparent that he wasnt going to survive, Tylers 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. Im not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised shes coming to heaven, too. Ill be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”44What happened to Tyler in his early age?AHe was independent on medication to survive.BHe got a tube in his chest.CHis mother was infected with HIV.DHe had inserted a pump on his back.45Why did Tyler wear a backpack?ABecause he thought it was cool and fashionable.BBecause there was a pump in it, which could help with his disease.CBecause the doctor and his mom asked him to wear it.DBecause he had no right to choose but to wear it.46After reading Paragraph 4, we can know _Athe relationship between Tyler and his mom is not goodBTylers mom loved him and was unwilling to tell him about the diseaseCTylers mom is as weak as him because of the diseaseDTyler loved his mom very much47What does the author want to tell us by writing this passage?APeople who are infected with HIV will die soon.BHaving a positive attitude will keep you from the deadly disease.CEven a child can teach us a lot and be respected.DEveryone should have great courage to face the problems.DI 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 Tshirt, from its start in the cotton fields to its appearance on store shelves. A pair of shoes? 1，247 gallons.Until last fall, Id 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.Ive been feeling pretty satisfied with myself for all the drinking water Ive saved: Ive put in waterrecycling systems to reuse the waste water from my washing machine and bathtub. Ive 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, Im 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.48What does the underlined sentence “But these days, whenever I cast my eyes on shoes and jackets, I see water.” mean in the first paragraph?AThe author can see water in clothes.BThe author likes water.CThe author can know how much water was used to make shoes and jackets.DThe author likes saving water.49What is “water footprint”？AIt is described as the whole volume of freshwater used to produce goods and services.BIt is the footprint that people leave.CIt is the water that people drink.DIt is the water wasted.50Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage?AThe author had cared about his “water footprint” by last fall.BThe author has been feeling rather content with himself for all the drinking water hes saved.CHe has put in waterrecycling systems to reuse the waste water from his washing machine and bathtub.DHe didnt like hamburgers.51What can we conclude from the last paragraph?AEating hamburgers is the authors favorite.BA simple change in lifestyle can help reduce water footprint.CThe author goes shopping less.DThe author often buys secondhands.EA Shoe PatternHarry is eighteen now. He studies in a middle school. His parents like him very much and hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. They call him at six in the morning, after breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man comes back, the supper is ready. Of course, he never washes his clothes or goes to buy something in the shops.Once Harrys father was sent to London on business. He would stay there for half a year. Leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their son. The woman had to get up earlier and did all what her husband did before. And two months later she was so tired that she was ill in bed. Now the young man got into trouble. He couldnt do any housework. He had to do as his mother told him. Even he didnt know where to get on the bus!Yesterday Harrys mother found his shoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair in the shop. But he didnt know how to choose. The woman had a sigh(叹息) and gave him a shoe pattern(鞋样) and told him to buy a pair of shoes himself. With a policemans help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper was friendly to him. The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “Whats the matter, young man？”“Im sorry, Ive left the shoe pattern at home！”52_ always does some housework in the morning.AHarrys father BHarrys mother CHarry DNobody53Harrys parents do all for him because _Ahes too young Bhe has poor healthChes busy with his studies Dthey hope he spends all time on studies54The woman had to look after her son by herself because _Aher husband wasnt at home Bshe was stronger than her husbandCshe knew the young man well Dshe was freer than her husband55When the man was in London, _AHarry had to stay at home BHarry didnt find the bus stopCHarry fell behind in his class DHarry wouldnt go to school第卷第三部分写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节任务型读写(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。New discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began many centuries earlier than once thought. The findings add a fascinating new page to the epic(史诗)of the Silk Road, which spread far and wide in no time.The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy from about 1，000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other researches may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhaps a million years to the moving of human ancestors into eastern Asia.The official origin of EastWest trade along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wudi returned from a dangerous secret mission(使命)across the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia. The agent, Zhang Qian, traveled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia, Syria and a place known as Lijien, perhaps Rome. Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times. His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient worlds two superpowers, China and Rome. Chinese silk, first traded to Central Asia with war horses, was soon finding its way to the markets of Rome through a network of businessmen.But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk apparently existed in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road. The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights(了解)into the mystery of just how and when Europe first realized the glorious cultu
