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 new5m-high activity tower in the zoo, after climbing it for 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 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 only1.5m high,and the taller tower had clearly been too much challenging for him.“Every time he got to the edge,he looked out,put a paw over,and thought,‘no,I cannot make it!’”, laughed Samantha Cordrey,Tanvir’s keeper.In the end Tanvir’s hunger defeated his fear,and after almost 48hours 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.It appears that his experience would not be the worst in Tanvir’s 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 will improve animals’living ability in enclosed space.24.When speaking of Tanvir’s shameful experience,Samantha Cordrey might feel it was.A.funnyB.surprisingC.excitingD.unbelievable25.What made Tanvir get down the5m-high activity tower at last?A.The coldness of the weather.B.The direction from his keepers.C.The sufferings of being hungry.D.The fear of being alone.26.Why does the author say“this experience would not be the worst in Tanvir's life if...”(Paragraph6)?A.Because Tanvir’s keepers will design more difficult exercise for him.B.Because Tanvir is so cowardly that he has little courage to meet greater challenges.C.Because Tanvir’s bad health will bring him much trouble in practice.D.Because Tanvir is always careless and often causes trouble by accident.27.The zoo designed the5m-high activity tower to.A.make Tanvir become braveB.improve Tanvir’s performance skillsC.let tourists watch Tanvir betterD.improve Tanvir’s living abilityCOne half of the brain remains on high alert（警惕）during the first night of sleep in a new space.Over the course of three experiments on35young,healthy volunteers,researchers measured brain activity during two nights of sleep.They found that part of the left side of the brain remained more active than the right side only on the first night,specifically during a deep sleep stage.“When you sleep in a new place for the first time,a part of one side of the brain seems to stay awake, so you could wake up faster if necessary,”said senior study author Yuka Sasaki of Brown University.While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make brief overnight trips,it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time,Sasaki added by email.To see how being in a strange place affects sleep,Sasaki and colleagues performed a series of lab tests on their subjects.When they stimulated（刺激）the left side of the brain with sounds in the right ear during deep sleep on the first night,that led to greater possibility of waking and faster action upon waking,than if sounds were played in the left ear to affect the right side of the brain.On the second night,there wasn’t any difference in reactions to tests between the left and right sides of the brain,even during deep sleep.This suggests that there is a first-night-only effect specifically in one side of the brain during deep sleep,the authors conclude.One limitation of the new study is its focus on healthy volunteers,which means the results may not apply to people with sleep disorders,the authors note.While it’s possible that the findings may explain poor sleep among frequent travelers,the study wasn’t designed to test whether these“first night effects”continue to happen to people every time they hit the road,said Patrick Finan,a researcher at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore.28.If a man sleeps in a new place for the first time,___________.A.he can’t fall into deep sleepB.his left side of the brain is highly activeC.he usually feels unsafeD.both sides of his brain are on alert29.What does the

most likely place to have studied in.The Times Higher Education magazine ranked the universities attended by chief executive officers (CEO)of Fortune Global500companies.There are four US universities in the top10,with three from France,two from Japan and one from South Korea.The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in21st place.This league table,described as the Alma Mater Index,shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the world’s biggest companies.One in20had a degree from a single institution,Harvard.This included Margaret C.Whitman of Hewlett-Packard,Jeffrey R.Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top10for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings.Oxford and Cambridge are absent,but the University of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included,along with three French universities,headed by the Ecole Polytechnique.Across the top100,universities from the US dominate,followed by universities in China,Japan, France and Germany.There are more CEOs who went to university in Asia than in Europe.In terms of national comparisons,UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives,with Oxford in21st place and Cambridge in45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top500 companies,it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest10companies,who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by a graduate of Zurich University of Applied Sciences;Walmart is headed by a student of Georgia Tech and Exxon Mobil has a chief executive from the University of Texas, Austin.Three of the leaders of these biggest companies went to university in China and the head of Volkswagen went to university in Stuttgart.32.How many Asian universities are among the world’s top10universities for global CEOs?A.OneB.TwoC.ThreeD.Four33.What does the underlined word“dominate”in Paragraph5probably mean?A.Decrease.B.Affect.C.Take the lead.D.Make great progress.34.What can we learn about the UK universities?A.Cambridge University ranks highest among them.B.None of them are among the top10list of the survey.C.They performed better than French universities on the list.D.They produced the second most number of global CEOs.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Rankings of the Famous Universities in the WorldB.Which Is Described as the best University in the world?C.Students Are Currently Entering Various Top-class Universities.D.Which University Tops the League Table of Where Bosses Studied?第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
