I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo, Paris for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.
I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.
I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.
4. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home?
A. To ensure their survival. B. To observe their differences.
C. To teach them life skills. D. To let them play with his kids.
5. What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Behave badly. B. Lose their way. C. Sleep soundly. D. Miss their mom.
6. What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home?
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Risky.
7. Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo?
A. They frightened the children. B. They became difficult to contain.
C. They annoyed the neighbours. D. They started fighting each other.
C
Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly the result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios; now, anyone, with a computer camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and fortune. For every success, there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.
8. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers?
A. Vloggers can earn greater fame and more money.
B. The traditional show business is more competitive.
C. The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
D. Anyone with a computer will surely become a star.
9. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?
A. Only a few vloggers can be famous and wealthy. B. A vlogger can not earn fame and fortune.
C. People often see the bright side of being a vlogger. D. Dreams will always remain dreams.
10. What do young people like David do on the Internet?
A. Learn from others. B. Become an online hit.
C. Hold running races. D. Combine jobs with hobbies.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Most young Britons choose to be vloggers as their job.
B. The Internet is influencing young Britons’ career choice.
C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D. Young Britons can not find jobs without the Internet.
D
The Running of the Bulls
The San Fermin Festival, internationally known as the “Running of the Bulls”, is by far Spain’s biggest international party. Millions of visitors journey to Pamplona, Spain annually to attend this amazing festival. It occurs. every July 6th-14th. during which different events are held each day, including bull runs, bullfights, parades, and firework shows.
The festival is held to honor San Fermin, the patron saint (守护圣人) of Pamplona. It’s a mystery where and how he died, but the citizens believe he died as a result of being pulled through the streets by bulls. This is why citizens take part in the running of the bulls, even though a majority of the runners are tourists who seldom know about San Fermin.
The festival starts with a rocket blast at noon on July 6th. The party atmosphere in the town is incredible, with everyone wearing the traditional San Fermin clothing: a white T-shirt and a red handkerchief around the neck. Although there are many activities and events throughout the festival, the famous running of the bulls is the main part. Actually, the festival was just a traditional festival like those in every little town and city in Spain. It would have stayed that way if not for Ernest Hemingway, who wrote about the running of the bulls in his novel The Sun Also Rises.
Every morning at 8 am from July 7th to 14th during the festival, the runners are chased by six bulls and six steers throughout the streets of Pamplona for about 830 meters until reaching the city’s bullring, where bullfights take place.
At 8 o’clock, the first of four fireworks is launched, indicating that the corral (畜栏) door is opened. It’s time for the runners to start running. The second firework explosion indicates that all the bulls have left the corral. Once all the bulls have reached the bullring and the door of the bullring is closed, the third firework is launched. The final firework indicates that all the bulls are locked at the bullring’s corral. Once in a while, however, the herd of bulls separates, making it even more dangerous. That is why the four firework rockets are so important.
On the night of July 14th, as midnight gets closer, people start to gather in the square in front of the town hall, singing a traditional farewell song.
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The origin of the festival. B. The events of the festival.
C. The popularity of the festival. D. The runners of the festival.
13. What can we learn about the running of the bulls?
A. Runners must wear red T-shirts. B. It was not created by Ernest Hemingway.
C. Runners must know the story of San Fermin. D. It takes place for more than two weeks.
14. What is the aim of the fireworks throughout the running of the bulls?
A. They keep the bulls excited. B. They help round up the bulls.
C. They lighten the tense atmosphere. D. They let the runners know how things are going.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Health. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Education.

One day in 2001, when I was eight years old, my family and I were coming back from a baseball game, which was our usual weekend adventure. But unlike other weekends, a surprise was waiting for us. Two adult wild geese and a small wild goose were wandering around our yard. The adults were frightened by us and flew away, but their baby was still too young to fly and couldn’t follow.
It was freezing cold when night fell. Concerned about the wild goose’s safety, we begged dad to protect the little guy. Dad took the tiny little thing to the back porch (门廊) to keep warm and protect him from wild animals. The small wild goose seemed in a panic, unaware of what could happen. The next morning, we try to drive the wild goose over to his parents, who kept coming back to our yard. He wouldn’t go to them, and they wouldn’t come close to take him. We kept this up for six days, but no luck. By then, the young wild goose had clearly decided we were his new family. My sister Anna called the little guy Peeper, because he would follow us around the yard making a peeping noise, nonstop. Every time we called his name, he would respond. We also decided that Peeper was a boy, I don’t know why; it just felt right.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months until almost a year passed. Peeper liked to sleep on our back porch each night, and every day my dad would clean up all the goose droppings (鸟兽的粪便) carefully. Dad would throw Peeper up into the air so he could fly a circle around the house, coming back again once the porch was clean. But this time, Peeper just flew off.
Paragraph 1:
Everyone was very, very sad. We looked for him for days, calling his name, but he didn’t come back.

Paragraph 2:
At first, I assumed it was just another wild goose.

【47题答案】
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Everyone was very, very sad. We looked for him for days, calling his name, but he didn’t come back. Aware of the fact that Peeper did fly away, I felt my eyes misty and a lump in my throat. Anna tugged at my sleeve and sobbed silently. Catching sight of us feeling depressed, Dad flashed a smile, stroked our heads and murmured, “Peeper has grown up and he may have gone to find his parents. Shouldn’t we be delighted for their family reunion?” Anna and I exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. Days ticking by, on a sunny morning, an adult wild goose landed on our porch, flapping its wings and combing its feather under the sunshine.
