25、al that we would ordinarily think of as being chicken.However,one tiger,which lives in an English zoo,turned out to be more cowardly(胆小的)than his keepers could ever have imagined.Tanvir,a two-year-old Bengal tiger,got stuck at the top of a new 5m-high activity tower in the zoo,after climbing it for
26、the first time.The wooden tower had been designed to provide mental exercise for Tanvir by testing his ability of dealing with troublesome situations,but after climbing it in just a few seconds,he lost his courage when it came to coming back down.Tanvir went on to spend nearly two days at the top of
27、 the tower trying to collect the courage to attempt to get down.A spokesperson for the zoo said that several days before Tanvir had taken half an hour to get down a lower tower only 1.5m high,and the taller tower had clearly been too much challenging for him.“Every time he got to the edge,he looked
28、out,put a paw over,and thought,no,I cannot make it!”laughed Samantha Cordrey,Tanvirs keeper.In the end Tanvirs hunger defeated his fear,and after almost 48 hours he made his way down.Burying himself in a big meal just like a hungry pig,Tanvir seemed to forget such a shameful experience for a while.I
29、t appears that his experience would not be the worst in Tanvirs life if he continued to act like a chicken.It is not known whether he will take courage to go back up his exercise tower again.The whole episode(插曲)only serves to show the difficulties faced by zoo staff in creating environments that wi
30、ll improve animals living ability in enclosed space.56.When speaking of Tanvirs shameful experience,Samantha Cordrey might feel it was_.A.funny B.surprising C.exciting D.unbelievable57.What made Tanvir get down the 5m-high activity tower at last?A.The coldness of the weather.B.The direction from his
31、 keepers.C.The sufferings of being hungry D.The fear of being alone58.Why does the author say“this experience would not be the worst in Tanvirs life if”(Paragraph 6)?A.Because Tanvirs keepers will design more difficult exercise for him.B.Because Tanvir is so cowardly that he has little courage to me
32、et greater challenges.53.A.long B.hard C.short D.exciting 54.A.aims B.dreams C.hopes D.regrets 55.A.Point B.Forget D.Wonder D.Dream C.Because Tanvirs bad health will bring him much trouble in practice.D.Because Tanvir is always careless and often causes trouble by accident.59.The zoo designed the 5m
33、-high activity tower to_.A.make Tanvir become brave B.improve Tanvirs performance skillsC.let tourists watch Tanvir better D.improve Tanvirs living abilityB When you have a question about something,where do you go?For many people the answer is simple as they can go online to a search engine like Goo
34、gle or Yahoo.But what about people in rural or underdeveloped areas who may have no way to get on the Internet?A business and international development professor in California,Rose Shuman,found an answer for them:Question Box.Question Box is a service that provides answers-free of charge-for people
35、who cannot search the Internet directly.The users of Questions Box might be those who might not be able to read,or simply have no access to the Internet.Question Box began three years ago in India.People used a metal call box with a push-to-talk button to connect a live operator.Rose Schuman explain
36、ed,”You just need to push a big green button on the box which will connect you directly to our operators who are sitting in front of computers,and speak your language.You can ask them any sort of question you want,and theyll look it up in English or in Hindi,or whatever the main language is,and tran
37、slate the answer back for you.”The service is currently offered in two villages.The latest version of the box uses mobile phone technology,and solar panels in case the electrical power fails.Rose Shuman says the aim was to make the box as easy as possible for users,“It is very efficient(效率高的).Rather
38、 than try to bring a lot of difficulties to them and expect them to spend a lot of time to learn how to use the Internet,the idea was to make a technology that even Grandma could use.”In April 2009,Question Box was introduced to Uganda.Forty community workers with mobile phones connected villagers t
39、o call center operators in Kampala.The community workers went around telling people about the service.They wore T-shirts that said“Ask me.”But Internet service in Uganda proved slow and undependable.So Question Box teamed up with a local technology company to store information on a local server.That
40、 way,the researchers in Kampala could quickly search the database for answers.60.The best title for the passage is _.A.Question Box-taking the place of the Internet B.Needing an answer?-asking Question Box C.Question Box-A great invention in the world D.Rose Shuman-A professor helping the poor 61.In
41、 Rose Schumans opinion,the greatest advantage of Question Box is that_.A.It is the most advanced in the world B.It is more convenient to carry.C.It is much easier to use D.it saves much more energy 62.The underlined word“them”in the fourth paragraph refers to_.A.the users B.the operators C.the resea
42、rchers D.Question Box workers 63.What can we know from the passage?A.Question Box costs the users much less than the Internet.B.Question Box operators can look for information in any language.C.Question Box is more efficient in solving problems in underdeveloped areas.D.Question Box can work without
43、 the help of the Internet in Uganda.C Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling.Recycling in the home is very important of course.However,being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need.We are deal
44、ing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible,but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12%between 1999 and 2005.It now makes up a third of a typical households waste in the
45、UK.In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment.The UK,for example,is running out of areas for burying this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt,it gives off greenhouse gases which go on t
46、o cause the greenhouse effect.Recycling helps,but the process itself uses energy.The solution is not to produce such items in the first place.Food waste is a serious problem,too.Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need.However,a few of them are coming round to the idea th
47、at this cannot continue,encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags,for example.But this is not just about supermarkets.It is about all of us.We have learned to connect packaging with quality.We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality.This is especially true of food.
48、But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products,which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope.As more of us recycle,we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting.We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture,but we h
49、ave a mountain to climb.64.What does the underlined phrase“that over-consumption”refer to?A.Using too much packaging.B.Recycling too many wastes.C.Making more products than necessary.D.Having more material than is needed.65.The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _.A.the tendency of cutting h
50、ousehold waste B.the fact of packaging overuse C.the rapid growth of supermarkets D.the increase of packaging recycling 66.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A.Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B.Supermarkets care more about packaging.C.It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D.Other pr
51、oducts are better packaged than food.67.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Needless material is mostly recycled.B.Fighting wastefulness is difficult.C.People like collecting recyclable waste.D.The author is proud of their consumer culture.D Cities in Europe and around the world may be growi
52、ng“bike trees”in the near future.Invented by Japans JFE engineering Corp.,the invention proved useful in the busiest parts of this nations crowded cities.Local governments of Japan have struggled for ways to encourage people to park their bikes considerately,particularly close to big stations,but th
53、at may block some roads and entrances to home and businesses.“Our cities do not have a lot of space for any kind of parking,including bicycles.”said Mitsuharu Oshima,a spokesman for JFE Engineering.The bike tree comes in two types;one in a tower that is above ground,and on the contrary,the other in
54、a subterranean structure.A cyclist registers（登记）with the operator of the equipment,pays a monthly fee and pushes the wheels of his bicycle into restraints at the base of the bike tree.Each bicycle is fitted with an electronic card with the owners details.A mechanical arm then pulls the bike into the
55、 base of the tower and moves it to a free location inside.To collect the bike later,the cyclist puts his card through a reader and his bike is automatically(自动地)returned to him in seconds.“The science of the equipment has been difficult-even though they may look simple-because bikes come in many dif
56、ferent shapes and sizes.”said Oshima.As well as clearing away the road,bicycles cannot be stolen from a bike tree.There are presently versions at seven sites in Japan and two others are under construction,while work is under way on an even larger version-with room for 9,400 bicycles-in Thailand.And
57、Oshima believes that the idea could catch on in Europe,particularly in countries such as France,Holland and Denmark,where cycling is so popular.68.What is the right order of the following things when you use the bike tree?the wheels of the bicycle are put into restraints at the base the card is read
58、 and the bike is automatically returned an electronic card with the owners details is given the bike is pulled and moved to a free location inside A.B.C.D.69.What made it difficult to design“bike trees”?A.The location of“bike trees”B.The differences of the bikes C.The method of finding enough bikes

62、.He had to think fast.73 “If I could let him hit me,we could slow down together,”he thought.So Innes pulled up in front of Paces truck,and allowed it to hit his own car,bringing both trucks to a safe stop.Pace,a 70-year-old volunteer,had a heart attack a few days earlier and it caused him to lose hi
