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.
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.
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 late-night 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 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.
40．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
41．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
42．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
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 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.”
44．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.
45．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.
46．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
47．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.
48．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.
49．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.
50．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.
51．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.

参考答案
阶段评估检测(四)
一、1.B 考查动词的时态和语态。句意为：我们的希望是明年在这里要种植更多的树。根据句中的时间next year用将来时，且trees与plant是被动的关系，故用一般将来时的被动语态。
2．C 考查代词用法。句意为：她最喜欢散步因为任何保持健康的方法都比不上散步。there is nothing like意思是“什么也比不上”。
3．C 考查主谓一致和介词的用法。句意为：从占地球表面百分之七十一的海洋中搜集数据对弄清楚气候变化很重要。第一个空考查非限制性定语从句里的主谓一致，先行词是the oceans，the oceans又是定语从句的主语，故用cover; 第二个空考查介词的用法，句中的to是介词，后面跟名词或动名词，故用understanding。
4．A 考查强调句型。句意为：直到半夜他们才到达宿营地。强调not until midnight，强调句型为：It is/was ＋被强调的部分＋that＋剩余的部分。故选A项。
5．C 考查介词短语。句意为：他总是乐于帮助人们不求回报。in turn反过来； in charge负责； in return 作为回报； in trouble在困难中。根据句意，选C项。
6．B 考查动词不定式的逻辑主语的用法。句意为：一个人要想得到一份高工资的工作，他一定要接受良好的教育。不定式To get a well-paid job的逻辑主语是表示人的词，所以A、C和D项都不正确。
7．A 考查动词的时态。句意为：我本来是准备节食的，但是晚会上的那些菜简直令人无法抗拒。I ________ to go on a diet这个动作要发生在the dishes at the party were simply impossible to resist之前，表示“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。
8．A 考查形容词作宾语补足语。句意为：露西很幽默，她的故事总是让她的同事开心。amused“愉快的，被逗乐的”，用来形容人； amusing“好笑的，引人发笑的”，用来形容事。
9．C 考查现在分词作定语。句意为：现在正建设的大楼将用作我们的阅览室。句中有now表示正在进行，现在分词作定语表示正在进行，不定式作定语表示将来，building与build是被动的关系。故选C项。
10．A 考查形容词词义辨析。句意为：尽管你收集的统计数字往往是相当准确的，但你必须做出你自己的评价。accurate“准确的”； ridiculous“荒唐的”； urgent“紧迫的”； shallow“浅的”。故选A。
11．A 考查主谓一致和语态。“…of this kind”作主语时，其谓语动词的形式主要看前面的名词，而不是kind，这里English books是复数形式，sell well意思是“卖得好”，用主动表被动，所以用sell。
12．B 考查冠词。人的姓名前加不定冠词表示“某一个叫……的人”。因为人们重名的现象非常普遍，所以用不定冠词表示某一个叫什么名字的人。
13．C 考查情景对话。句意为：“听说你爸爸很有钱。”“那又怎么样呢？他对我很吝啬。对于他来说，钱就是一切。”
14．A 考查动词短语辨析。句意为：那个飞行员说在他因缺燃料被迫降落之前他只能再坚持1个小时。此处hold out意为：提出，坚持。
15．A 考查代词辨析。it用于指代上文提到的同一事物，one指不确定的“一个”。显然这里要买的是上午相中的外套，it在此相当于the one。句意为：我今天上午在一家商店看到了一件非常漂亮的外套，打算下午就去将它买了。
二、A

Some think it is necessary to kill all the poultry and birds, although it seems awfully cruel. At present it is the only good way to prevent the deadly virus from spreading. The more areas the virus spreads to, the more difficult it is to conquer it.
However, others think it is unfair to do so just for the benefit of human beings. Finding vaccines as soon as possible is the most important thing. As far as I'm concerned, catching and killing birds is not necessary. It may cause the birds to die out. Also, birds are friends to us human beings.
