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 attention­loving 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 2021 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.
56. 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
57. 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
58. 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
59. 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

B
China officially announced direct currency（货币）trading with Singapore in China Foreign Exchange Trade System on Monday, marking another important push forward for China and Singapore’s economic ties.
The announcement was made by Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli during a series of meetings between senior officials from both countries, co-chaired by Zhang and Singaporean Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean in Suzhou city, Jiangsu Province in eastern China.
The meetings include the 11th meeting of China-Singapore Joint Council for Bilateral（双边的）Cooperation, the 16th China-Singapore Joint Steering Council Meeting for the Suzhou Industrial Park, and the seventh China-Singapore Joint Steering Council Meeting for the Tianjin Eco-city.
The move is important for the formation of a direct exchange rate between the RMB and Singapore dollar. It will help reduce exchange costs for economic players and promote the use of each other’ s currency in bilateral trade and investment, the People’ s Bank of China said on its website Monday afternoon.
The direct trading program is not only expected to strengthen the financial cooperation between China and Singapore, but also to help the internationalization of RMB in southeast Asia and the world.
As the second largest economy, China has seen the RMB, or yuan, take on a bigger role in the international market. In late September, China allowed direct trading of the yuan against the Euro. Similar trading arrangements have also been made with the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen, the Australian dollar, the British pound and New Zealand dollar.
Apart from financial cooperation, China and Singapore also agreed to strengthen partnership in sustainable development, culture and economic transformation. Both sides signed cooperation documents ranging from intellectual property rights and exchange programs between middle-to-senior officials in education and environmental protection.
Acknowledging（承认，认可）the great achievements of bilateral cooperation projects, namely the Suzhou Industrial Park and the Tianjin Eco-City, Chinese and Singaporean officials discussed future development of the industrial park and agreed to make the eco-city project a pilot program for China’ s green development.
The Suzhou Industrial Park and the Tianjin Eco-City are models in cooperation between China and Singapore. Singapore is willing to work with China to advance the two projects, Teo said.
As China and Singapore will celebrate the 25th anniversary of diplomatic ties in 2021, China is willing to strengthen strategic trust and cooperation with Singapore to give bilateral ties a bigger boost, Zhang said.
