Ⅱ.阅读理解

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 SW AT(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 zoos in Germany.It was founded in 1860 and houses some 10,000 animals comprising more than 700 different species.

A．Tiger Escaped，Killed a Keeper in German Zoo
B．Tiger Escaped in German Zoo，Shot Dead
C．German Zoo Keeper Shot Escaped Tiger
D．People Killed in One of the Oldest Zoos in Germany
答案 A
解析本文是一篇新闻报道。第一段就是中心段。从第一段可知，警察说周六西德动物园的一只老虎逃脱了围墙，在被动物园主管射杀前，这只老虎杀死了女饲养员。所以，答案为A项。
2．According to the police，what was the direct reason for the incident?
A．The zoo keeper was a new hand.
B．A gate was not closed appropriately.
C．The zoo had neglected the secret passage.
D．It was very dark when the incident happened.
答案 B
解析根据第三段“‘It appears the gate wasn’t properly shut，’Kirchner told the Associated Press.”可知，似乎门没有被正确的关闭。
3．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.
答案 D
解析call off取消。根据倒数第二段第二句“However，a planned late-night opening of the zoo has been canceled.”可知动物园午夜的开放被取消了。
4．How did the zoo director feel after the incident?
A．Proud. B．Disappointed.
C．Sad. D．Angry.
答案 C
解析根据第五段中的“‘This is the darkest day of my life，’ the zoo’s director，Theo Pagel，was quoted as saying by Cologne newspaper Express.”可知，动物园主管很难过。5．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
I never thought I would have a life-changing experience at Wal-Mart.
Although my thoughts were only on speed，the checkout line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted，and I glanced toward the cashier.
There stood a man in his seventies，wearing glasses and a nice smile.I thought，well，he’s an old guy!
For the next few minutes I watched him.He greeted every customer before scanning the items.Sure，his words were the usual，“How’s it going？” But he did something different—he
actually listened to people.Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.
I thought it was odd.I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit.After a while，you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back.I could say，“I just found out I have six months to live，” and someone would reply，“Have a great day！”
But that wasn’t the end.
He gave them the change，walked around the counter，and extended his right hand in an act of friendship.He looked the customers in the eyes.“I sure want to thank you for shopping here today，” he told them.“You have a great day.Bye-bye.”
The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless.There were smiles and some sheepish grins.All had been touched by his simple gesture—and in a place they never expected.They would gather their things and walk out，smiling.
Of course，he did the same to me and I got to know his name，Marty.
Who was that guy？It was as if Sam_Walton_had come back from the dead and invaded this old guy’s body.
I had never walked away from that shop feeling like that.
6．The checkout line the writer was standing in moved slower than expected because ________.
A．the cashier couldn’t work as fast as others
B．there were some big purchases
C．the cashier did more than scanning the items
D．the writer was not patient enough
答案 C
解析根据第四段最后两句“But he did something different—he actually listened to people.Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.”
可以看出他做了一些不同的事情，而不仅仅是扫描商品并结账。
7．According to the writer，when common people ask you “How’s it going？” ________.
A．they don’t really care what you may answer
B．they are just practicing their conversation ability
C．they are inquiring about your private information
D．they don’t expect to hear any negative answers
答案 A
解析根据第五段第二、三句“I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of robotic conversational habit.After a while，you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back.”及第四句谈话的内容知，人们问这句话只
是处于机械的谈话习惯，并不在乎你怎么回答。
8．What was most customers’ reaction to Marty’s behaviors?

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Three engineers and three accountants (会计) are traveling by train to a conference.At the station，the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.
“How are three people going to travel on only one ticket？” asks an accountant.“Watch and you’ll see，”answers an engineer.They all board the train.The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.
Shortly after the train has departed，the conductor comes around collecting tickets.He knocks on the restroom door and says，“Ticket，please.” The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.The conductor takes it and moves on.
The accountants see this and agree it is quite a clever idea.So after the conference，the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money.When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return trip.
To their astonishment，the engineers don’t buy a ticket at all.“How are you going to travel without a ticket？”asks one puzzled accountant.“Watch and you’ll see，”answers an engineer.When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby.The train departs.
Shortly afterward，one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding.He knocks on the door and says，“Ticket，please.”
1．The three engineers buy only a single ticket because________.
A．only one of them need buy a ticket
B．the three accountants buy tickets for them
C．they just want to save money
D．they are too poor to buy more tickets
答案 C
解析细节理解题。由第四段第二句中的save some money可知，这三个工程师只买一张火车票也是为了省钱。
2．The underlined word “departed”in the third paragraph means________.
A．started out B．separated
C．stopped D．arrived
答案 A
解析词义猜测题。结合故事情节的发展及本段中的“the conductor comes around collecting tickets”可推知，这里指火车“开动”了。
3．Which one of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
A．Only one engineer is in the restroom when the conductor collects the ticket.
B．At first the three accountants know why the three engineers buy one ticket.
C．On the return trip the three accountants buy three tickets again.
D．On the return trip the three engineers don’t buy any ticket.
答案 D

A．One of the conductors.
B．One of the engineers.
C．One of the strangers.
D．One of the passengers.
答案 B
解析细节理解题。由文章最后三段可知，返程时三个工程师没买票，三个会计师买了一张票，当会计师进入洗手间后，其中一个工程师假装去查票，他会骗走会计师的那张火车票。
5．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．the accountants are not as clever as the engineers
B．the accountants are cleverer than the engineers
C．the engineers are not as clever as the accountants
D．the engineers are as clever as the accountants
答案 A
解析推理判断题。根据两次买票的情况，一方面我们觉得这个故事幽默有趣，另一方面工程师确实比会计师在逃票方面技高一筹。
B
Buckingham Palace has a history that dates back over 500 years and has changed hands on numerous occasions.However，much of the building that remains standing today is from the original structure built in the early 1700.
In the beginning Buckingham Palace was originally known as Buckingham House.However，in 1762 George Ⅲ liked the house so much that he bought it for his wife Charlotte and renamed it Queen’s House.Soon he began to remodel the house with the help of Sir William Chambers.This trend then continued with the accession of George Ⅳ in 1820 when he decided to reconstruct the house but he still used it for the same purpose that his father did.
One of the biggest physical changes to the house however occurred several years later when the king had a change of mind.It was in 1826 that King George Ⅳ set about transforming the house into what it is known today，Buckingham Palace.He did this with the help of an architect known as John Nash.
The work that Nash carried out involved doubling the size of the main block through adding a new suite of rooms on the garden side facing the west.He then faced this with mellow (圆润的) Bath stone，which reflected the French neo-classical influence favoured by George Ⅳ.Many of the rooms that Nash added still remain pretty much unchanged today.
The palace as it stands today acts as not only the London residence of Her Majesty the Queen but also as the administrative headquarters of the Royal Household.It is in fact one of the few working royal palaces that remain in the world today.The state rooms are extensively used by the Queen as well as members of the royal family as a way of receiving and entertaining guests on state，ceremonial and official occasions.
6．George Ⅳ used Buckingham House probably to________.
A．please his own wife
B．give it to his son
C．give it another name
D．honor his old mother
答案 A
解析细节理解题。由文章第二段最后一句可知，乔治四世跟他的父亲乔治三世一样，都为取悦妻子而将宫殿送给她。
7．One of the biggest physical changes of the house took place in________.
A．1762 B．1820 C．1826 D．1829
答案 C
解析细节理解题。由文章第三段内容可知，1826年，乔治四世着手对白金汉宫的外观做了重大改变。
8．We know from the first paragraph that________.
A．Buckingham Palace today is quite different from what it was
B．the building of Buckingham Palace didn’t change much in history
C．Buckingham Palace today is only a small part of the original structure
D．Buckingham Palace didn’t belong to the royal family 500 years ago
答案 B
解析细节理解题。文章第一段说明，现在的白金汉宫跟当初的结构大致相似，没有大的变化。
9．Buckingham Palace may display________.
A．a French style
B．an old English style
C．a modern English style
D．an Eastern style
答案 A
解析推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段可知，乔治四世喜欢法国新古典风格，并以此风格改造了白金汉宫，而且这种风格一直保留了下来。因此推知，A项正确。
