第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Paula and Rory Ward have five kids，three dogs，and a rabbit.When the house is very noisy，Megan，one of the children，is quietly inventing.A year ago，the 10yearolds had to design an antismoking poster for a school project.Rather than a poster，she came up with the idea of creating something that shows the average amount of tar(尼古丁) a smoker collects from just four packs of cigarettes.
“I like people to play with things more than read and write，”she says.So she researched her idea on the Internet，found a company in China that could make it，saved up her pocket money and got her idea made.
Paula says her daughter“thinks differently”：Ideas jump into her mind.After she got sunburnt on holiday，Megan invented a small plastic bracelet (手镯) that changes color in the sun，telling you when to put on sunscreen (防晒霜)．Several sunscreen companies have expressed an interest in the idea.She also came up with an idea to make a ball filled with water to stop the dog from feeling thirsty.“But we didn’t do anything with it，”says Paula.
Then she pulls out a picture of a special fishing rod (钓鱼竿) she has designed.“There is a camera on the hook (钩)，”she explains，“and the screen is on the handle，and it shows you if you’ve caught a fish or not.”
Megan doesn’t want to go to university.She keeps her pinkandcream bedroom tidy.Paula is amazed and a bit confused by her daughter.“Everything has to be in a certain order，”Paula says.“Her brothers and sisters go_with_the_flow，but with Megan，it’s ‘What time will that be happening？’or‘Where am I being picked up from today？’”
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了一个10岁小女孩不断发明创造的故事。
56．From Paragraph 2，we can infer that Megan ________.
A．is not willing to go to school
B．likes to play with her brothers sand sisters
C．prefers making something by herself
D．is good at reading and writing
解析：选C。推理判断题。从第二段的I like people to play with things more than read and write以及后面她着手从网上寻找信息，最终使得产品得以批量生产等可知，Megan喜欢自己动手制作一些东西。故答案选C项。
57．What did Megan invent after she got sunburnt on vacation?
A．The antismoking poster.
B．The ball providing water for thirsty dogs.
C．The fishing rod telling whether you’ve caught a fish.
D．The bracelet telling when to put on sunscreen.
解析：选D。细节判断题。结合第三段可知答案选D项。
58．The underlined phrase“go with the flow”probably means “________”．
A．set an example to others
B．do what most people usually do
C．follow the fashion closely
D．do something differently from others
解析：选B。词义推测题。根据后面的but with Megan...把Megan与她的兄弟姐妹作比较可知，他们做事都按部就班，随大流。故答案选B项。www.
59．According to the passage，which of the following about Megan is TRUE?
A．She would like to keep everything in order.
B．She is quite the same as her other four brothers and sisters.
C．Her mother Paula doesn’t want her to go to university.
D．Her parents always help her invent something special.
解析：选A。细节理解题。由第三段第一句以及最后一段可看出，Megan喜欢将事情安排得井然有序，故A正确；由末段Paula的话可看出，Megan与她的兄弟姐妹很不同，B项错误；由末段第一句可知，Megan不想读大学，而非Megan的母亲不想让她读大学，C项错误；由第三段末句以及文中Megan母亲的话可看出，Megan的父母并没有帮助她搞发明，D项错误。
B
More than half of Americans do not take all their vacation days，even though they think they need one more holiday.And nearly a third of workers who take a break check their emails from the boss every other day and some even keep in touch hourly.
“We’re workaholics(工作狂)’，”said Samuel Nahmias.“From a general perspective，this has a lot to do with the economic situation in the US.More and more people are unemployed.”
With jobless numbers reaching 9.6 percent，people who have jobs seem to be unwilling to take time off.“It_is_not_a_great_picture and that affects vacations.People are not going on vacation as much and those who are going on vacation are being more selective about where they are going.”Nahmias explained.
Unlike European countries where four or more weeks of holiday each year is normal,27 percent of people questioned in the poll said they had 6 to 10 days of annual leave and 20 percent had less than 3 days.With more people on unemployment lists in America，those still with jobs are facing more responsibility at work，which is reflected in their lack of time off.
The majority of workers who did not take time off mentioned too many responsibilities or stress at work，while some people said they simply did not have time to plan a holiday.“People are more conscious of what they are doing and when they are going on vacation because they don’t want to look bad in this situation，”Nahmias explained.
Technology is also playing a part with smartphones enabling workers to keep in contact in ways that were not possible before.It has to do with technology and the level of concern about what is going on in the office.
【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了当前高失业率让美国人不敢休假的现实。
60．Americans don’t take all their vacation days because ________.
A．they devote themselves to the whole work
B．they are afraid that they may lose their jobs
C．they are asked to keep in touch with their bosses
D．they aren’t in need of holidays at all
解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第二段的More and more people are unemployed.可推知美国人不敢休假的原因是在经济环境不景气的情况下，他们害怕失业。
61．What does Nahmias mean by saying the underlined words in Paragraph 3?
A．Travelling makes people unwelcome.
B．People are unwilling to go on short vacations.
C．The economic situation remains at a low point.
D．People are more selective about places of interest.
解析：选C。细节理解题。由第三段的With jobless numbers reaching 9.6 percent，people who have jobs seem to be unwilling to take time off可知，美国失业率升高，以及第二段的表述可推断，Nahmias的意思为“经济持续低迷”。
62.We can infer from Paragraph 4 that ________.
A．Unemployment rate is higer in America than that in Europe
B．European economic situation is better than that in America
C．Americans are more hardworking than Europeans
D．More people are losing their jobs in Europe
解析：选A。推理判断题。从第四段的欧洲国家的人每年休假四个星期或以上很正常，并结合With more people on unemployment lists in America，those still with jobs are facing more responsibility at work，which is reflected in their lack of time off可推知美国的失业率比欧洲高。
63．What’s the main idea of the text?
A．Americans are all workaholic.
B．Many Americans don’t choose to take vacations.
C．Unemployment is going from bad to worse.
D．US economic situation becomes worse and worse.
解析：选B。主旨大意题。本文介绍了美国人在经济危机的压力下，担心失业而不敢休假，B项最能表达这一主旨。
C
Scientists have confirmed the first sighting in more than a decade of one of the world’s rarest animals—the saola，sometimes called the Asian “unicorn”．
The animal was caught by villagers in Laos in August，according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)．The villagers took the saola back to their village in Bolikhamxay province and Laotian conservation authorities(官方) sent a team to check on the animal.The creature，likely weakened from its time in captivity (囚禁)，died shortly after that team arrived.“The death of this saola is unfortunate，”the Provincial Conservation Unit of Bolikhamxay province said in the IUCN statement.“But at least it confirms an area where it still occurs and the government will immediately move to strengthen conservation efforts there.”
This was the first confirmed sighting of a saola since 1992，when remotely controlled cameras took images of one in Laos.First discovered in 1992，the saola is considered extremely endangered，its numbers so few that biologists have never witnessed one in the wild.Fewer than a few hundred saolas are believed to wander the Annamite Mountains of Laos and Vietnam.
The carcass of the saola recovered in the Laotian village was being preserved for study，officials said.“Study of the carcass can produce some good from this unfortunate incident.Our lack of knowledge of saola biology has always made it difficult to preserve it，”says Dr Pierre Comizzoli，a veterinarian with the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and a member of the IUCN Saola Working Group.“This can be a major step forward in understanding this extraordinary and mysterious species.”
64．What could be the reason for the death of the saola?
A．The villagers didn’t feed it well.
B．It was killed for biological study.
C．The team carried out an experiment on it.
D．Its health was badly affected after being caught.
解析：选D。根据第二段第3句中“...likely weakened from its time in captivity...”可知，它很可能是因为被村民囚禁起来从而身体虚弱致死。
65．The underlined word“carcass” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “________”．
A．skin B．body
C．position D．habitat
解析：选B。分析该句：这只动物死后被保存起来用于研究。因此可以推出该词应该是“尸体”的意思。
66．The discovery of the saola is of great importance because ________.

NEW YORK(CNNMoney.com) September 20,2010—The economic recession (萧条) ended in June 2009，according to the body in charge of dating when economic downturns begin and end.
But the news is little comfort to the millions of Americans still out of work，underwater on their mortgages (抵押) or uncertain about the future.
The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)，an independent group of economists，released a statement Monday saying economic data now clearly show the economy’s turning higher last summer.That makes the 18month recession that started in December 2007 the longest and deepest downturn for the US economy since the Great Depression (1929～1933)．
Still，weaker economic data over the past few months have led to rising fears of a doubledip (二次探底) recession.The forecast of top economists surveyed recently by CNNMoney was that there is a 25% risk of a doubledip recession within the next year，up from a 15% chance just six months ago.
In its statement，the NBER acknowledged the risk，but said “the committee decided that any future downturn of the economy would be a new recession and not a continuation of the recession that began in December 2007.”
The NBER said it did not conclude that economic conditions since that month have been favorable or that the economy has returned to its normal state.Rather，it decided that June was when the economy hit bottom，and that it has been slowly but steadily growing since then.
68．How did the Americans respond to the announcement made by NBER?
A．They thought it couldn’t be true.
B．They were greatly inspired by the news.
C．They were still not quite confident in the economy.
D．They became a little more optimistic about the economy.
解析：选C。根据第二段所述，这个消息对人们几乎起不到什么安慰作用，人们对未来依旧感到迷茫。故答案为C项。
69．What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A．There are some errors in the economic data.
B．The USA experienced the worst economy in 2008.
C．The US economy turned better in the second half of 2009.
D．The recession starting from December 2007 was the longest in the US history.
解析：选C。分析第三段可知，这次经济危机2009年6月结束，经济从2009年夏天开始好转。A项文中无事实依据；2008年经济不可能是最差的，因为2009年下半年才开始好转，故排除B项；根据本段最后一句可知1929年～1933年的经济危机才是持续时间最长的，故排除D项。
70．According to the NBER，the US economy ________.
A．hit bottom in June in 2009
B．has been operating quite well in 2010
C．will become much worse in 2010
D．will grow rapidly in the next year
解析：选A。根据最后一段中“...June was when the economy hit bottom...”可知A项正确。
71．Which of the following statements is TRUE about“the doubledip”？
A．It won’t happen in the near future.
B．The risk of it is growing higher.
C．It will be the continuation of the recent recession.
D．Its direct cause will be the last recession.
解析：选B。根据第四段有关数据和经济学家的预测可知“二次探底”的风险在变大。
E
Twothirds of women prefer working for male bosses because they are better managers and less likely to lose their temper，a study has suggested.
Many female employees also like having a man in charge because they are “more authoritative(有权威的)” and “more straightforward” than their_female_counterparts.
Women consider men “tougher”，“better at delegation (委派)” and also more likely to regularly dish out praise.
And men were also rated as being better decisionmakers and having more grasp of the business overall than women do.
It also shows that four out of ten women who have female bosses believe they could do a better job than their immediate superior(上司)．
The study of 2,000 women in fulltime or parttime employment asked whether they would prefer to have a man or woman as their immediate line manager.
About 63 per cent expressed a male preference，while only 37 per cent choose a woman.
The results also revealed one in six women who currently work under a woman is experiencing “underlying tension” between themselves and their boss.
There are a number of reasons for the male preference including a feeling that female managers felt threatened by other women at work.A failure to leave personal problems at home was also cited (引用；举例)．Other issues included a lack of flexibility (机动性) over leaving early or starting late.
But despite the worries，female bosses did score highly on the more personal side of the manageremployee relationship.They were thought of as being approachable，more trustworthy and more compassionate(有同情心的) in a member of staff’s time of need.
【解题导语】 一项调查显示，三分之二的女性更愿意为男上司工作，因为他们比女上司具有更多的优势。
72．What does the underlined part “their female counterparts” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Female companions.
B．Women managers.
C．Leading members.

解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，许多女雇员也喜欢有一个男主管，因为他们“更有权威”，而且比女主管“更坦诚”。词组their female counterparts指“女主管”。
73．Compared to female employers，male bosses ________.
A．generally have a poor sense of business
B．are not good at managing their company
C．seldom praise their staff members openly
D．are more likely to keep their temper under control
解析：选D。推理判断题。从文章第一段可知D项正确。从前四段可知A、B两项错误；从文章第三段末尾可知C项与原文不符。故选D。
74．In which aspect did female bosses score more points?
A．They were more flexible in working hours.
B．They didn’t feel a tension from other women at work.
C．They were more considerate towards their employees.
D．They didn’t allow personal problems to affect their mood.

75．What is the best title of the text?
A．Male or female boss?
B．The finding of a new study
C．Women prefer to work for male bosses
D．Who is better at managing a company?
解析：选C。主旨大意题。根据文章的第一段可知，三分之二的女性更愿意为男上司工作，这是最近的一项研究发现的主要内容，也是本文的主旨大意。因此本文主要讲述的是：Women prefer to work for male bosses。

One possible version：
In today’s English class，the teacher told us the story about Helen Keller，whose life and deeds have inspired millions of people.
Helen Keller was born in 1880 and died in 1968.As a result of a severe fever，she became blind and deaf at 19 months old.When she was 7，she learned to read and speak with the help of her teacher，Annie.In June 1904，she graduated from Radcliffe College with excellent grades.
Helen was a famous writer and her works such as Three days to see are wellknown through out the world.As a great educator，she also devoted all her life to the welfare and education of people with disabilities.
From the story I learned that nothing is difficult if we put our heart into it，so I will study hard to realize my dream.
