24、 to find a new home for Knut, the moneymaking celebrity polar bear whose popularity has been exploited by environmentalists and even Canadian tourism promoters.No longer cute, and just days before his second birthday, Knut will be given a new home that is expected to include a potential mating partn

25、er.The Berlin Zoo, facing the global economic crisis, cant afford the estimated $ 13 million it would take to acquire a female and a new home for them to share. “Its time for him to go - the sooner he gets a new home the better,” said senior bear keeper Heiner Kloes.But some Berliners are beginning

26、a campaign, collecting petition (情愿书) signatures and arguing that hes a tourist draw and a symbol as important as the Brandenburg Gate. “He means a lot to many people. When youre with him you forget your problems,” Hartmut Wiedenroth, co-founder of the campaign, told Spiegel Online.Knut became an in

27、ternational celebrity in 2007, drawing huge crowds to his cage and triggering sales of thousands of Knut toys and Knut-shaped candies.The Vancouver-based Canadian Tourism Commission made Knut a major part of its “CanadaKeep Exploring” campaign to draw tourists to the country- and especially to polar

28、 bear country in northern Manitoba to see them in their natural habitat. Environmentalists also used the bear to promote the fight against global warming.But Knuts popularity diminished as his size increased to 210 kilograms, He was photographed at one point snapping (咬) at a child near his cage. In

29、 September his keeper, Thomas Doerflein, died of a heart attack. Doerflein, who became a celebrity himself after nursing the tiny ball of white fur when Knuts mother rejected him, had been re-assigned shortly after Knuts first birthday. Some animal rights critics said Knut has been showing unusually

30、 aggressive behavior because of his unnatural upbringing.56. The Berlin Zoo intends to find a new home for Knut mainly because of _.A. the mother bear deserting him B.

32、e for the passage?A. Doerflein, a celebrity of Germany B. Zoo says Knut must go C. The polar bear capital of the world D. Polar bears in CanadaBEven before historian Joseph Ellis became a best-selling author, he was famous for his vivid lectures. In his popular courses at Mount Holyoke College in Ma

33、ssachusetts, he would often make classroom discussion lively by describing his own fighting experience in Vietnam. But as Ellis's reputation grew-his books on the Founding Fathers won both the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize -the history professor began to entertain local and national

34、 reporters with his memories of war. Last year, after The Boston Globe reported Ellis's experience in the Vietnam war, someone who knew the truth about Ellis dropped a dime. Last week The Boston Globe revealed that Ellis, famous for explaining the nation's history, had some explaining to do

35、about his own past.“Even in the best of lives, mistakes are made," said Ellis. It turned out that while the historian had served in the Army, he'd spent his war years not in the jungles of Southeast Asia , but teaching history at West Point ( 西点军校). He'd also overstated his role in the

36、antiwar movement and even his high-school athletic records. His admission shocked colleagues, fellow historians and students who wondered why someone so successful would beautify his past. But it seems that success and truthfulness dont always go hand in hand. Even among the successful achievers, se

37、curity experts say, one in ten is deceiving. And, oddly, people often beautify their past once they're famous, says Ernest Brod of Kroll Associates, which has conducted thousands of background checks.Then what makes them do it? Psychologists say some people succeed, at least in part, because the

38、y are uniquely adjusted to the expectations of others. And no matter how well-known, those people can be haunted (长期不断的缠绕 ) by a sense of their own shortcomings. "From outside, these people look anything but fragile," says Dennis Shulman, a psychoanalyst. "But inside, they feel hollow

39、, empty,”60. Which of the following shows the order of what happened to Ellis?a. He became a best-selling author.b. He taught at Mount Holyoke College.c. His books won two important prizes.d. The Boston Globe reported his experience in Vietnam.e. He entertained reporters with his memories of war.A.

40、abced B. bedcaC. acbde D. bcaed61. The underlined part "dropped a dime" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “_”A. let sb. down B. informed on sb.C. made sb. famous D. punished sb. badly62. While Ellis served in the Army, he _A. fought in Vietnam B. taught history at a military school C

41、. pretended to be a historianD. made mistakes in the antiwar movement. CRahfeal Gordon has come a long way from the homeless shelters and streets of Newark, New Jersey. The 25-year-old was honored this year by the National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship for his work-giving motivational spe

42、eches to youth groups.Rahfeal Gordon tells his audience, "If nobody ever says that you're brilliant, say it to yourself every day. Look yourself in the mirror: if you have survived something, I don't care how small, how big, youve survived it," he said.Rahfeal Gordon 's speech

43、is simple: He tells the story of his own life in three chapters. Each begins with a hip hop lyric (歌词) that he knows will be meaningful to a young audience.Gordon says he uses positive hip hop lyrics to encourage youths, especially those who grew in poverty and abuse, as he did. His talk is called &

44、quot;Hip Hop Saved My Life".“ When I had my very dark moments in life, I would put on certain songs, whether it is from Jay-Z , Tupac, Kanye West," Gordon said. "They kept me going through the hard times. They fulfilled a certain void (空白) that I couldn't fulfill, like not having

45、a father or mother there, so I felt they could relate because they would tell these stories."Gordon says his childhood was happy until his father became addicted to drugs and began to beat his three brothers and mother. They left to live on the streets and in homeless shelters. Gordon says he t

46、ries now to be a voice for others, including a brother who was murdered at the age of 19. “When I lost my brother, that was, really, a moment when things really started to take off, in the sense of saying, I really, really want to be that individual to help people, to help individuals, ”Gordon said.

47、 “I can't be Superman. I can't save the world, but I think that if I can help an individual, I am saving the world. ”63. Rahfeal Gordon was honored because he _.A. has changed the lives of young people worldwideB. inspires young people to better themselvesC. encourages his students to improv

48、e the communityD. has made great achievements in his teaching career64.

49、ke youths65. What do we know about Rahfeal Gordon's childhood?A. His parents forced him to leave home.B. He was badly treated since he was a child.C. His mother always beat him black and blue.D. He became homeless after his father used drugs.66. The author writes the passage mainly to_.A. share

50、Rahfeal Gordon's life story B. tell readers to follow Rahfeal GordonC. introduce an American national awardD. direct readers' attention to poor childrenDGrasslands need time to rest when cattle and other animals feed on them. Moving animals from one area of pasture (牧场) to another can provid

51、e the time needed for new growth. This is called rotational grazing .(循环放牧) Rotational grazing is good for the land and the animals, and it can save money. This form of grazing can reduce the need for pesticide (农药) treatments by reducing the growth of weeds. And it can limit the need for chemical f

52、ertilizers by letting animal wastes do the job of natural fertilizer. Rotational grazing can even help prevent wildfires by keeping grasslands in good condition.Letting animals feed continually and intensively (集中地) in the same grazing areas can require costly replanting. Animals eat the most desira

53、ble growth first. When that keeps happening, the roots do not have enough time to recover. As a result, less desirable plants may replace them. Intensively used grasslands are also harmed as the soil is continually crushed under the weight of heavy animals.While rotational grazing can save money ove

54、r time, it also requires planning. And that starts with a good map to mark fences, water supplies and grazing areas.Changing methods of grazing also requires time. Farmers may want to put up electric fences to enclose (圈起) grazing areas, called paddocks. The paddocks will need water. Some farmers design a path for animals from different paddocks to drink from a common watering place.Farmers can start rotational grazing by removing animals from a pasture when the grass is eaten to less that five centimeters.
