39．A.so B．or

解析：選C。這是一個人人期望“達到(achieve)”的目標。
50．A.student B．teacher

C．future D．past
解析：選D。根據reevaluate和最后一段的Revisiting the past可以判斷，作者完善自我的第二件事是重新評估“過去的(past)”生活。

解析：選C。ake roo for意思是“為……騰出空間”。作者通過回顧過去為未作了更充分的準備。
第三部分 閱讀理解(共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分)
閱讀下列短，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。
A
Paula and Rory Ward have five kids，three dogs，and a rabbit.When the house is very noisy，egan，one of the children，is quietly inventing.A year ago，the 10yearolds had to design an antisoking poster for a school project.Rather than a poster，she cae up with the idea of creating soething that shows the average aount of tar(尼古丁) a soker collects fro just four packs of cigarettes.
“I like people to play with things ore than read and write，”she says.So she researched her idea on the Internet，found a copany in China that could ake it，saved up her pocket oney and got her idea ade.
Paula says her daughter“thinks differently”：Ideas jup into her ind.After she got sunburnt on holiday，egan invented a sall plastic bracelet (手鐲) that changes color in the sun，telling you when to put on sunscreen (防曬霜)．Several sunscreen copanies have expressed an interest in the idea.She also cae up with an idea to ake a ball filled with water to stop the dog fro feeling thirsty.“But we didn’t do anything with it，”says Paula.
Then she pulls out a picture of a special fishing rod (釣魚竿) she has designed.“There is a caera on the hook (鉤)，”she explains，“and the screen is on the handle，and it shows you if you’ve caught a fish or not.”
egan doesn’t want to go to university.She keeps her pinkandcrea bedroo tidy.Paula is aazed 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 egan，it’s ‘What tie will that be happening？’or‘Where a I being picked up fro today？’”
【解題導語】 本主要介紹了一個10歲小女孩不斷發明創造的故事。
56．Fro Paragraph 2，we can infer that egan ________.
A．is not willing to go to school
B．likes to play with her brothers sand sisters
C．prefers aking soething by herself
D．is good at reading and writing
解析：選C。推理判斷題。從第二段的I like people to play with things ore than read and write以及后面她著手從網上尋找信息，最終使得產品得以批量生產等可知，egan喜歡自己動手制作一些東西。故答案選C項。
57．What did egan invent after she got sunburnt on vacation?
A．The antisoking 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.

58．The underlined phrase“go with the flow”probably eans “________”．
A．set an exaple to others
B．do what ost people usually do
C．follow the fashion closely
D．do soething differently fro others
解析：選B。詞義推測題。根據后面的but with egan...把egan與她的兄弟姐妹作比較可知，他們做事都按部就班，隨大流。故答案選B項。ww
59．According to the passage，which of the following about egan is TRUE?
A．She would like to keep everything in order.
B．She is quite the sae as her other four brothers and sisters.
C．Her other Paula doesn’t want her to go to university.
D．Her parents always help her invent soething special.
解析：選A。細節理解題。由第三段第一句以及最后一段可看出，egan喜歡將事情安排得井然有序，故A正確；由末段Paula的話可看出，egan與她的兄弟姐妹很不同，B項錯誤；由末段第一句可知，egan不想讀大學，而非egan的母親不想讓她讀大學，C項錯誤；由第三段末句以及中egan母親的話可看出，egan的父母并沒有幫助她搞發明，D項錯誤。
B
ore than half of Aericans do not take all their vacation days，even though they think they need one ore holiday.And nearly a third of workers who take a break check their eails fro the boss every other day and soe even keep in touch hourly.
“We’re workaholics(工作狂)’，”said Sauel Nahias.“Fro a general perspective，this has a lot to do with the econoic situation in the US.ore and ore people are uneployed.”
With jobless nubers reaching 9.6 percent，people who have jobs see to be unwilling to take tie off.“It_is_not_a_great_picture and that affects vacations.People are not going on vacation as uch and those who are going on vacation are being ore selective about where they are going.”Nahias explained.
Unlike European countries where four or ore weeks of holiday each year is noral,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 ore people on uneployent lists in Aerica，those still with jobs are facing ore responsibility at work，which is reflected in their lack of tie off.
The ajority of workers who did not take tie off entioned too any responsibilities or stress at work，while soe people said they siply did not have tie to plan a holiday.“People are ore conscious of what they are doing and when they are going on vacation because they don’t want to look bad in this situation，”Nahias explained.
Technology is also playing a part with sartphones 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.
【解題導語】 本主要講述了當前高失業率讓美國人不敢休假的現實。
60．Aericans don’t take all their vacation days because ________.
A．they devote theselves to the whole work
B．they are afraid that they ay 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：選B。推理判斷題。根據第二段的ore and ore people are uneployed.可推知美國人不敢休假的原因是在經濟環境不景氣的情況下，他們害怕失業。
61．What does Nahias ean by saying the underlined words in Paragraph 3?
A．Travelling akes people unwelcoe.
B．People are unwilling to go on short vacations.
C．The econoic situation reains at a low point.
D．People are ore selective about places of interest.
解析：選C。細節理解題。由第三段的With jobless nubers reaching 9.6 percent，people who have jobs see to be unwilling to take tie off可知，美國失業率升高，以及第二段的表述可推斷，Nahias的意思為“經濟持續低迷”。
62.We can infer fro Paragraph 4 that ________.
A．Uneployent rate is higer in Aerica than that in Europe
B．European econoic situation is better than that in Aerica
C．Aericans are ore hardworking than Europeans
D．ore people are losing their jobs in Europe
解析：選A。推理判斷題。從第四段的歐洲國家的人每年休假四個星期或以上很正常，并結合With ore people on uneployent lists in Aerica，those still with jobs are facing ore responsibility at work，which is reflected in their lack of tie off可推知美國的失業率比歐洲高。
63．What’s the ain idea of the text?
A．Aericans are all workaholic.
B．any Aericans don’t choose to take vacations.
C．Uneployent is going fro bad to worse.
D．US econoic situation becoes worse and worse.
解析：選B。主旨大意題。本介紹了美國人在經濟危機的壓力下，擔心失業而不敢休假，B項最能表達這一主旨。
C
Scientists have confired the first sighting in ore than a decade of one of the world’s rarest anials—the saola，soeties called the Asian “unicorn”．
The anial 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 Bolikhaxay province and Laotian conservation authorities(官方) sent a tea to check on the anial.The creature，likely weakened fro its tie in captivity (囚禁)，died shortly after that tea arrived.“The death of this saola is unfortunate，”the Provincial Conservation Unit of Bolikhaxay province said in the IUCN stateent.“But at least it confirs an area where it still occurs and the governent will iediately ove to strengthen conservation efforts there.”
This was the first confired sighting of a saola since 1992，when reotely controlled caeras took iages of one in Laos.First discovered in 1992，the saola is considered extreely endangered，its nubers so few that biologists have never witnessed one in the wild.Fewer than a few hundred saolas are believed to wander the Annaite ountains of Laos and Vietna.
The carcass of the saola recovered in the Laotian village was being preserved for study，officials said.“Study of the carcass can produce soe good fro this unfortunate incident.Our lack of knowledge of saola biology has always ade it difficult to preserve it，”says Dr Pierre Coizzoli，a veterinarian with the Sithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and a eber of the IUCN Saola Working Group.“This can be a ajor step forward in understanding this extraordinary and ysterious 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 tea carried out an experient on it.
D．Its health was badly affected after being caught.
解析：選D。根據第二段第3句中“...likely weakened fro its tie in captivity...”可知，它很可能是因為被村民囚禁起從而身體虛弱致死。
65．The underlined word“carcass” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “________”．
A．skin B．body
C．position D．habitat
解析：選B。分析該句：這只動物死后被保存起用于研究。因此可以推出該詞應該是“尸體”的意思。
66．The discovery of the saola is of great iportance because ________.
A．it proves that the saola only lives in Laos
B．it proves that Laos has perfect natural environent
C．the species can be studied further and then protected better
D．the species can be used to lift the local touris
解析：選C。根據最后一段可知，人們對這種動物知之甚少，所以這次發現有助于對這個物種進一步研究，更好地對它加以保護。
67．What’s the text ainly about?
A．Endangered anials 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 governent protect wildlife.
解析：選B。本主要講述在老撾一只珍稀野生動物被捉住后不久死亡的事件，故答案為B項。

NEW YORK(CNNoney.co) Septeber 20,2010—The econoic recession (蕭條) ended in June 2009，according to the body in charge of dating when econoic downturns begin and end.
But the news is little cofort to the illions of Aericans still out of work，underwater on their ortgages (抵押) or uncertain about the future.
The National Bureau of Econoic Research (NBER)，an independent group of econoists，released a stateent onday saying econoic data now clearly show the econoy’s turning higher last suer.That akes the 18onth recession that started in Deceber 2007 the longest and deepest downturn for the US econoy since the Great Depression (1929～1933)．
Still，weaker econoic data over the past few onths have led to rising fears of a doubledip (二次探底) recession.The forecast of top econoists surveyed recently by CNNoney was that there is a 25% risk of a doubledip recession within the next year，up fro a 15% chance just six onths ago.
In its stateent，the NBER acknowledged the risk，but said “the coittee decided that any future downturn of the econoy would be a new recession and not a continuation of the recession that began in Deceber 2007.”
The NBER said it did not conclude that econoic conditions since that onth have been favorable or that the econoy has returned to its noral state.Rather，it decided that June was when the econoy hit botto，and that it has been slowly but steadily growing since then.
68．How did the Aericans respond to the announceent ade 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 econoy.
D．They becae a little ore optiistic about the econoy.
解析：選C。根據第二段所述，這個消息對人們幾乎起不到什么安慰作用，人們對未依舊感到迷茫。故答案為C項。
69．What can we learn fro the third paragraph?
A．There are soe errors in the econoic data.
B．The USA experienced the worst econoy in 2008.
C．The US econoy turned better in the second half of 2009.
D．The recession starting fro Deceber 2007 was the longest in the US history.
解析：選C。分析第三段可知，這次經濟危機2009年6月結束，經濟從2009年夏天開始好轉。A項中無事實依據；2008年經濟不可能是最差的，因為2009年下半年才開始好轉，故排除B項；根據本段最后一句可知1929年～1933年的經濟危機才是持續時間最長的，故排除D項。
70．According to the NBER，the US econoy ________.
A．hit botto in June in 2009
B．has been operating quite well in 2010
C．will becoe uch worse in 2010
D．will grow rapidly in the next year
解析：選A。根據最后一段中“...June was when the econoy hit botto...”可知A項正確。
71．Which of the following stateents 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：選B。根據第四段有關數據和經濟學家的預測可知“二次探底”的風險在變大。

any feale eployees also like having a an in charge because they are “ore authoritative(有權威的)” and “ore straightforward” than their_feale_counterparts.
Woen consider en “tougher”，“better at delegation (委派)” and also ore likely to regularly dish out praise.
And en were also rated as being better decisionakers and having ore grasp of the business overall than woen do.
It also shows that four out of ten woen who have feale bosses believe they could do a better job than their iediate superior(上司)．
The study of 2,000 woen in fulltie or parttie eployent asked whether they would prefer to have a an or woan as their iediate line anager.
About 63 per cent expressed a ale preference，while only 37 per cent choose a woan.
The results also revealed one in six woen who currently work under a woan is experiencing “underlying tension” between theselves and their boss.
There are a nuber of reasons for the ale preference including a feeling that feale anagers felt threatened by other woen at work.A failure to leave personal probles at hoe was also cited (引用；舉例)．Other issues included a lack of flexibility (機動性) over leaving early or starting late.
But despite the worries，feale bosses did score highly on the ore personal side of the anagereployee relationship.They were thought of as being approachable，ore trustworthy and ore copassionate(有同情心的) in a eber of staff’s tie of need.
【解題導語】 一項調查顯示，三分之二的女性更愿意為男上司工作，因為他們比女上司具有更多的優勢。
72．What does the underlined part “their feale counterparts” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Feale copanions.

解析：選B。推理判斷題。根據第二段的內容可知，許多女雇員也喜歡有一個男主管，因為他們“更有權威”，而且比女主管“更坦誠”。詞組their feale counterparts指“女主管”。
73．Copared to feale eployers，ale bosses ________.
A．generally have a poor sense of business
B．are not good at anaging their copany
C．seldo praise their staff ebers openly
D．are ore likely to keep their teper under control
解析：選D。推理判斷題。從第一段可知D項正確。從前四段可知A、B兩項錯誤；從第三段末尾可知C項與原不符。故選D。
74．In which aspect did feale bosses score ore points?
A．They were ore flexible in working hours.
B．They didn’t feel a tension fro other woen at work.
C．They were ore considerate towards their eployees.

解析：選C。根據的最后一段可知，女性上司在和雇員之間的關系中更人性化，故C項與中意思相符。
75．What is the best title of the text?
A．ale or feale boss?
B．The finding of a new study
C．Woen prefer to work for ale bosses
D．Who is better at anaging a copany?
解析：選C。主旨大意題。根據的第一段可知，三分之二的女性更愿意為男上司工作，這是最近的一項研究發現的主要內容，也是本的主旨大意。因此本主要講述的是：Woen prefer to work for ale bosses。
