The tiger slipped through a passage between the enclosure and a neighboring storage building, where it fatally attacked the 43yearold 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 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 zoo's website. Police said the zoo reopened after Saturday's 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. 36．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 37．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. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 - 4 - 38．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 latenight opening. 39．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. B 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 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. 40．People with low selfesteem 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 41．Losers would think that ________． A．success is the result of hard work B．working hard will lead to success C．their failure is only because of bad luck D．they don't make efforts to succeed 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 - 5 - 42．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 43．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 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. 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 HIVinfected 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.” 44．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 45．Why did Tyler ask the doctor to dress him in red? A．Because he liked dressing in red. B．Because his mother wanted him to dress in red. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 - 6 - C．Because he wanted his mother to be happy. D．Because his mother can spot him at once. 46．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 Tshirt, 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 waterrecycling 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. 47．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. 48．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. 49．Which of the following statements is FALSE according to the passage? 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 - 7 - 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 waterrecycling systems to reuse the waste water from his washing machine and bathtub. D．He didn't like hamburgers. 50．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 secondhands. 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 How to Be Confident __51__ Even if your physical appearance, or social skills aren't what you wish they were, that doesn't have to stop you from being confident. Here's how to believe in yourself. ★ Make a list of special talents you have, or of things you do that are good—morally or otherwise. It doesn't have to be a specific skill; it can be an approach or an attitude that you hold through life. __52__ Are you very patient with people? Do you always see the humorous side of things? Are you always there for your friends? ★__53__ When you feel strongly about something, speak loudly and clearly and make eye contact with people. People will judge you all the time, and usually they'll misjudge you anyway, so why bother trying to live up to their opinions at all? ★Take care of yourself. Eat a healthy diet and get enough exercise. Don't abuse your body, don't overload it, and don't deny it any of the things it needs. At the same time, don't obsess(沉迷). __54__ Those things are only bandaids and makeup. Confidence comes from within. In order to be confident, you must value yourself and understand that your wellbeing is important. ★Improve your posture. __55__ Don't drop your shoulders. Make sure that your back is straight, your shoulders are square, and your chest sticks out slightly (but stay loose, otherwise you'll appear stubborn and nervous). Good posture also helps with deep breathing, which helps with feeling calm and relaxed. A．But smiling at yourself in the mirror helps you to love yourself, thus making you a bit more confident. B．Buying all the moisturizers (润肤霜), creams will not bring you closer to who you want to be. C．It is surprising how powerful the simple step of taking action can be. D．Do you always stay calm, cool and collected, even in hurried situations? E．Having good posture can actually make you feel more confident. F．Know that you have important things to say and do. G．We are all human and have weaknesses. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 - 8 - 第Ⅱ卷 第三部分 写作(共两节，满分 35 分) 第一节 情景作文(20 分) 假设你是红星中学高二(1)班的学生李华，下面四幅图描述了你从加拿大短期学习归来发 生的一件事。请根据图片的先后顺序，写一篇周记，记录下此事。 注意：1.周记的开头已为你写好。 2. 词数不少于 60。 Last Sunday, I came back to Beijing after a shortterm study in Canada. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 开放作文(15 分) 请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于 50。 In your spoken English class, your teacher shows you the following picture.

Early in the morning, I arrived at the airport. After claiming my luggage, I hurried to the exit where my parents were anxiously waiting for me. How nice it was to see them again! As soon as I arrived home, I started unpacking my suitcase. I was taking out my stuff when a book caught my eye. It was borrowed from the school library when I studied in Coldwater School. Indeed, I was careless. What could I do? Thinking for a while, I finally came up with a solution. Immediately, I got online and searched for the school address. Having successfully found it, I wrote a letter to apologize, sincerely expressing my great regret. After lunch, I went to the nearby post office. With the letter enclosed, I mailed the book back to Coldwater School by EMS, hoping it would reach the school library as quickly as possible. When everything was done, I breathed a sigh of relief. 第二节 One possible version： What can be seen from the picture is a process of how a tree comes to fall down. The picture on the left tells the very beginning of the fall. But nobody notices that and the tree continues to bend. At last, the tree will break and drop on the ground. This picture tells us that if a small error is neglected, it will gradually grow and destroy a splendid enterprise. We have seen many such phenomena in our life. Drops of water can split a rock and small ants can burst banks of rivers because small errors are not corrected timely. So if we want to contribute to our society, we must pay attention to our action and never let small errors destroy our development.
