Knut lived in Berlin’s zoo. He was four and raised by zookeepers since a cub (幼崽) after his mother deserted him.
Now reports say the attention-loving polar bear was found dead in a pool in his cage at the Zoologischer Garten Berlin Saturday, with no immediate cause of death announced.
“This is awful,” said Berlin’s mayor Klaus Wowereit, according to the Sydney Herald. “We had all taken him to our hearts. He was the star of the Berlin Zoo.”
Most reports say Knut was alone when he died, as visitors watched him suddenly fall into the water. The known news site TMZ.com carried news of his death and says People for the Ethical

Treatment of Animals’ German branch had previously complained that Knut suffered a lot from his mother and other bears.
Knut was very famous to many people, only because he seemed to love the limelight (出风头). After his first performance at the popular zoo, he became its star attraction, raising much income for the zoo and producing toys, DVDs and more. He was not diagnosed as being ill at the time, reports say. An investigation (调查) into the cause of his death is underway.
To everyone’s surprise, his beloved keeper, Thomas Doerflein, also died at an early age. Doerflein died at 44 in 2013 in his apartment after he had fed the cub and slept by its side, but later was told no longer to play or wrestle with Knut. At that time Knut was becoming an adult polar bear and considered too dangerous to interact with closely. Doerflein reportedly suffered a heart attack. Knut acted unhappily after his friend’s death. 59. When Knut was four, ________. A. he left his birthplace B. he became homeless C. he was kept by zookeepers D. he went into a zoo by mistake 60. We know from the passage that Knut ________. A. became a popular toy B. was well protected in the zoo C. brought in lots of money for the zoo D. was the only important cub in the zoo 61. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. nobody saw Knut when he fell into the water B. Knut and his keeper loved each other deeply C. Knut and his keeper died of the same disease D. Knut’s mother and other bears were nice to Knut 62. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Knut Died of Strange Disease
B. Knut — a Popular Polar Bear in the Berlin Zoo C. A Popular Polar Bear Was Rescued in the Berlin Zoo D. A Popular Polar Bear Found Dead in a Mysterious Situation C
“People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice(牺牲) that would help deal with climate change,” the world’s leading authority on global warming has told The Observer. Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further. Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel’s chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and other environmental problems associated with raising cattle and other animals. “It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to changing means of transport,” he said.
The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are produced during the production. For example, ruminants (反刍动物), particularly cows, give off a gas called methane(甲烷), which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than CO2.
Pachauri can expect some opposite responses from the food industry to his advice, though last night he was given unexpected support by Masterchef presenter and restaurateur John Torode.

“I have a little bit and enjoy it,” said Torode. “Too much for any person is bad. But there’s a bigger issue here: where the meat comes from. If we all bought British and stopped buying imported food, we’d save a huge amount of carbon emissions.”
Professor Robert Watson, the chief scientific adviser for the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, said government could help educate people about the benefits of eating less meat, but it should not regulate. “Eating less meat would help, there’s no question about that,” Watson said.
However, Chris Lamb, head of marketing for pig industry group BPEX, said the meat industry had been unfairly targeted and was working hard to find out which activities had the biggest environmental impact and reduce them. “Some ideas were contradictory,” he said. “For example, one solution to emissions from cattle and other animals was to keep them indoors, but this would damage animal welfare. Climate change is a very young science and our view is there are a lot of simple solutions being proposed.” 63. What is directly related to global warming? A. Consumption of meat. B. Growth of cattle. C. Methane from ruminants. D. Processing of meat. 64. Who holds a view opposite to the others’ in the passage?
A. Rajendra Pachauri. B. John Torode. C. Robert Watson. D. Chris Lamb. 65. It is implied in the passage that _____.
A. we should try to keep away from cattle B. ruminants should not be left outdoors C. the meat industry will soon close down D. we must do our duty to save the earth 66. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. Less meat, slower global warming B. More animals, more greenhouse gas
C. Less imported food, better our environment D. Greater diet change, smaller climate change D
Bobby Qualls was shopping when he received a text message: Fire on Beechmont, one-story house, child trapped inside. “I was picking out gifts for the family our engine house adopted for Christmas,” remembers Qualls, who has been fighting fires in Memphis for 24 years. “I had this sinking feeling as I got in my car and headed over.”
The last time Qualls had been on Beechmont Street was to install smoke detectors (感应器) at the Bateman-Tubbs home. He’d been on a secret task to see if they needed extra help during the holidays. There he discovered that the four Bateman-Tubbs children were sleeping on bare mattresses (床垫), and he found two of the boys playing outside in 30-degree weather with no shoes or coats.
Qualls learned that Leonard Tubbs was doing his best to make ends meet laying floors while Kimberly Bateman stayed home with the kids.
“When Bobby told me his team wanted to be Secret Santas and buy my kids toys, at first I thought we didn’t need any help,” Bateman recalls. “It really touched me. I told him what the kids really needed was warm clothes.”
That’s exactly what Qualls was shopping for on December 9, 2010: winter jackets for Christopher, seven; JoJo, four; Madison, one; and two-month-old Charles. While driving over to Beechmont Street, he dialed Bateman’s cell phone. She answered on the first ring, screaming,

“The house is on fire—JoJo’s trapped inside!”
By the time Qualls reached the house, the family had gotten out, but their home was severely damaged. His coworkers had found JoJo hiding under a pile of clothes in a back bedroom. He had stopped breathing and had been given CPR(心肺复苏) and rushed to the hospital. Qualls learned that JoJo was now on life support and might not make it through the night. He rushed to the hospital with Lt. Mark Eskew, who placed a stuffed teddy bear in a firefighter’s suit on JoJo’s bed. “I just kept praying my little boy would open his eyes,” Bateman recalls. “There was nothing else I could do. They were pumping black and thick liquid out of his lungs and stomach for days.” After a few days, though, JoJo regained consciousness, and the tubes were taken out of his throat. While he began to slowly recover, the local newspaper and TV stations got hold of the story, and the Secret Santa Plan of Qualls and his fellow firefighters snowballed. Before long, the fire station was overflowing with boxes of toys, food, towels, and clothes. People called, wanting to donate furniture and appliances (电器) too. By December 23, Bateman and Tubbs had moved their kids into a new rental home. By Christmas Eve, JoJo was ready to leave the hospital, and the firefighters were ready to deliver the family their very own Christmas miracle. “These guys aren’t just firefighters,” says Bateman, “they’re our guardian angels. If they hadn’t installed a smoke detector that first day they came to our house, we wouldn’t have known when the fire started. Then they went the extra ten miles to give us a Christmas.” 67. What did Qualls do after he received a text message? A. He drove to the burning house. B. He hurried to the fire station. C. He went to pick out gifts. D. He went shopping in Beechmont. 68. Who saved JoJo out of the burning house?
