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 attention-loving 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 2013 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.
59. 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
60. 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
61. 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
62. 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

“People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice(牺牲) that would help deal with climate change,” the world’s leading authority on global warming has told The Observer.
Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.
Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel’s chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and
