　　Dr Dian Fossey, one of the world’s leading women scientists, had a remarkable career. The work she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa—has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this most endangered great apes.
Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963. Three years later, she returned to Africa to begin a long-term study of the mountain gorillas. She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967. She established her “Karisoke” Research Centre camp on September 24, 1967.
Fossey’s aims were to study gorilla ecology (生态学) and social organization. She found that in order to achieve this, she needed to recognize individual gorillas, which required that the gorillas get used to her presence (出现). By copying gorillas’ behaviour and sounds, Fossey began to gain their trust, and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named “Peanuts” reached out to touch her hand.
Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas’ trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour. Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.
In 1977, one of Fossey’s favorite gorillas, Digit, was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.
On December 26, 1985, Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke. Her body was discovered near the research centre. Most probably, Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she’d fought against. On her tombstone (墓碑) “No one loved gorillas more”.
In 1988, the life and the work of Fossey were made into a movie based on her story.

　　More than two thirds of the world’s polar bears will be wiped out by 2050, according to a shocking new study. By then, scientists say, global warming will have melted 42 percent of the Arctic sea ice. By 2100, only a very few of these important creatures will be left.

The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey. The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals, which are their main food. Without enough ice, polar bears would be forced to go onto the land, where they are poorly skilled hunters, and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time. Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.
The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears, on the ground, from spotter planes and in the lab, using computer models. Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says. They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computer had been forecasting. Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an all-time low.
However, not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale. Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy “sportsmen” who want their skins and heads. At least ten international companies offer bear-hunting trips.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。本文说的是由于全球变暖, 北极熊有可能在这个世纪末就要灭绝了。
5. What do we know about Dirk Kempthorne according to the passage?
A. He is an animal scientist.
B. He is a protector of animals working for the US government.
C. He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
D. He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list. ”可知, 他被要求把北极熊列入美国濒危物种名单, 故选C。
6. Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?
A. Because polar bears can’t catch enough food without ice.
B. Because polar bears eat ice when they feel thirsty.
C. Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.
D. Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.
【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals, which are their main food. ”可知, 如果没有足够的海冰, 北极熊会因为捕捉不到足够的猎物而濒临灭绝, 故选A。
7. After a six-month study, some scientists fear that 　　　.  
A. there is something wrong with their computers
B. polar bears will disappear even faster than they ever expected
C. their computer models are not as accurate as they expected
D. global warming will destroy everything in the Arctic
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第四段的“Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says. ”可知, 科学家们担心北极熊消失的速度将比他们预想的还要快, 故选B。

　　How to Make Quick Decisions for Your Life
　　We make decisions every day. 　1　When it comes to making decisions, choosing the right one can at times be stressful, especially if the decision must be made quickly. Indecision often weighs us down, but there are some useful tips for making quick decisions more easily.  
　2　Sometimes the key to making a quick decision comes down to planning ahead of time for just such an occasion. We all know we’re going to come to an important decision-making point sooner or later, so having a plan already in hand can put our mind at ease when that time comes.  
Overcome fear. 　3　While it may seem difficult to overcome the fear of making the wrong choice, many experts agree that we shouldn’t be afraid to make the wrong decision, even if it seems important. The vast majority of wrong decisions can be corrected, while delaying decisions can often lead to more problems.  
Write down all the advantages and disadvantages of your decision. Even if you don’t have all the information, writing down all the pros and cons(优缺点) is a good starting point for figuring out what to do. In cases where there simply isn’t enough time to write things down, make a mental list in your mind. Thinking of the pros and cons can help you organize your thoughts. 　4　 
Determine criteria. Remember that every decision you make should come with a certain list of criteria. 　5　But once you know the requirements you’re looking for, making a decision will become easier. Look for the choice that satisfies the list you’ve made, and once that choice is found, you should move ahead with it.  
A. Have a plan.
B. The list may be short or quite long.
C. Communicate your decision with others.
D. And this can always lead to a clear answer.
E. So cut out any options that you know you will not choose.
F. Often, one thing that keeps us from making decisions is fear.
G. Some can be very important while others are not serious in the long run.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了如何快速做出决定。
1. 【解析】选G。根据前句We make decisions every day. 以及后句When it comes to making decisions, choosing the right one can at times be stressful, especially if the decision must be made quickly. 可知G项“有些可能非常重要, 而有些从长远上来看, 并不是十分重要”, 符合逻辑。故选G。
2. 【解析】选A。考查本段的大意。根据后句Sometimes the key to making a quick decision comes down to planning ahead of time for just such an occasion. 可知这里的意思是制定一个计划, 故选A。
3. 【解析】选F。根据前句Overcome fear和F项中的关键词fear, 以及句意“通常, 阻止我们做出决定的事情正是害怕”, 故选F。
4. 【解析】选D。根据前句Thinking of the pros and cons can help you organize your thoughts可知“思考优缺点能帮助你理清你的思维”。D项“这总是引导我们找出清晰的答案”, 说的是这种做法的好处, 故选D。
5. 【解析】选B。根据前句Remember that every decision you make should come with a certain list of criteria“要记住: 你所做的每一个决定都要有一个确定的标准清单”。B项“这个清单可能会很短, 也可能会很长” , 故选B。
