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 ________.

A.it proves that the saola only lives in Laos

B.it proves that Laos has perfect natural environment

C.the species can be studied further and then protected better

D.the species can be used to lift the local tourism

解析：选C。根据最后一段可知，人们对这种动物知之甚少，所以这次发现有助于对这个物种进一步研究，更好地对它加以保护。

67.What’s the text mainly about?

A.Endangered animals in Laos.

B.A saola was caught and died in Laos.

C.A saola was killed by the villagers in Laos.

D.How the Laotian government protect wildlife.

解析：选B。本文主要讲述在老挝一只珍稀野生动物被捉住后不久死亡的事件，故答案为B项。

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.

D.Man managers.

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.

解析：选C。根据文章的最后一段可知，女性上司在和雇员之间的关系中更人性化，故C项与文中意思相符。

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.
