Luba Vangelova works for TechnoServe in Washington D．C.She tells us the group has an estiated budget this year of about fortyfive illion dollars.She says uch of that will support business training and developent progras in Latin Aerica，Africa，Asia and Eastern Europe.

A TechnoServe channel on YouTube describes Believe Begin Becoe and soe of the winning business plans.Luba Vangelova says TechnoServe also supports progras for teenagers and young adults.

57．TechnoServe provides the following for enterprisers except ________.
A．oney B．business training
C．developent progras D．workers
解析：选D。细节理解题。由第六段“Winners receive oney to bring their business plans to reality.”可排除A；由第三段“She says uch of that will support business training and developent progras in Latin Aerica，Africa，Asia and Eastern Europe.”可排除B、C；D项并没有提到。
58．Which of the following stateents about TechnoServe is true?

B．The TechnoServe channel has progras for teenagers.
C．It has held 15 business plan copetitions already.

解析：选B。细节理解题。由第一段“The nae coes fro the idea of technology in the service of ankind.”可知A错误；第三段“She tells us the group has an estiated budget this year of about fortyfive illion dollars.”可知D错误；由第六段“TechnoServe has held nine national copetitions in Central Aerica since 2002.Five copetitions have been held in Africa，including one in Tanzania last year.”可知C错误；由倒数第二段“Luba Vangelova says TechnoServe also supports progras for teenagers and young adults.”可知答案为B。
59．Fro this passage we can infer that ________.
A．Latin Aerica，Africa，Asia and Eastern Europe are very poor
B．one can’t start a business without the help of TechnoServe
C．Charity Navigator thinks poorly of TechnoServe

Science Daily —World Wildlife Fund scientists have just announced the discovery of 11 new anial and plant species in a faraway area in central Vietna.They say this proves the iportance of conservation efforts in the ancient tropical forests of the region.
Within the ancient tropical forests of a region known as Vietna’s “Green Corridor，”scientists found a snake，five orchids (兰花)，and two butterflies as well as three other plants new to science and exclusive (独有的) to the Annaites ountain Range.Ten other plant species，including four orchids，are still under exaination but also appear to be new species.
“Discoveries of so any new species are rare and occur only in very special places like the Green Corridor，”said Dr.Chris Dickinson，WWF’s chief conservation scientist in the Green Corridor.“Several large aal species were discovered in the 1990s in the sae forests so these latest discoveries ay be just the tip of the iceberg.”
The rainforests likely have existed as continuous undisturbed forest cover for thousands of years，and，as a result，offer unique habitats for any species，said WWF experts.
The new snake species，called the whitelipped keelback，prefers living by streas where it catches frogs and other sall anials.It can reach 31 inches.
Three of the new orchid species are entirely leafless，which is unusual even aong orchids，containing no chlorophyll (叶绿素) coonly found in plants.The other new plants include an aspidistra which produces a nearly black flower and a newlydiscovered species of plant with beautiful yellow flowers.
The two new butterfly species are aong eight discovered in the province since 1996.One is a skipper—a butterfly with quick，darting flight habits—fro the genus Zela and the other is a new genus in the subfaily of Satyrinae.
60．According to what Dr.Chris Dickinson said，we can infer that ________.
A．it’s ipossible for us to find new species in any other places
B．it’s a pity that they didn’t find new large aal species
C．any ore new species will probably be discovered in the region
D．the ountain is too large for all the new species to be discovered
解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第三段Dr.Chris Dickinson说的话“Several large aal species were discovered in the 1990s in the sae forests so these latest discoveries ay be just the tip of the iceberg.”(最近的发现可能只是冰一角)可以推断出还有更多的新物种可能被发现。
61．What’s the ain reason for so any new species being there?
A．The forest is located in the tropic zone.
B．The rainforests haven’t been disturbed for thousands of years.
C．The scientists’ hard work helps the live.
D．The forest is covered with all kinds of green plants.
解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第四段的“The rainforests likely have existed as continuous undisturbed forest cover for thousands of years，and，as a result，offer unique habitats for any species”可知，数千年没有受到干扰的雨林为大量的物种提供了栖息地，这就是产生新物种的原因。
62．Three of the new orchid species are very special because ________.
A．they have no leaves at all
B．they can produce black flowers
C．they have chlorophyll
D．they don’t belong to any plants
解析：选A。细节理解题。参见倒数第二段的“Three of the new orchid species are entirely leafless，which is unusual even aong orchids，containing no chlorophyll(叶绿素) coonly found in plants.”可知这种兰花特殊的原因是因为它们没有叶子。
63．What can we know fro the text?
A．The central part of Vietna is surrounded by ountains.
B．Dr.Chris Dickinson has been living in the region since the 1990s.
C．New orchid species are the ost aong all the new species discovered since the 1990s.
D．Scientists have been working to protect the Green Corridor in the past years.
解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句“They say this proves the iportance of conservation efforts in the ancient tropical forests of the region.”和第三段的内容可以推知，科学家一直在设法保护这片森林。
C
Babies who use any gestures (手势) to counicate when they are 14 onths old have uch larger vocabularies when they start school than those who don’t，US researchers said.
They said babies with wealthier，bettereducated parents will probably sign ore.This ay help explain why soe children fro lowincoe failies perfor less well in school.
“When children enter school，there is a large difference in their vocabularies，”said the University of Chicago’s eredith Rowe，whose study appears in the journal Science.
Gestures could help explain the difference，Rowe told the Aerican Association for the Advanceent of Science yearly eeting in Chicago.
Vocabulary is an iportant predictor of school success.Earlier research showed that rich，educated parents tend to talk to their children ore than poorer，lesseducated ones.
“What we are doing here is asking：Does this socialeconoic situation relate to gestures？Can that explain soe of the difference we see at school entry (进入)？”Rowe said.
The researchers filed 50 Chicagoarea children and parents fro different econoic backgrounds and counted the nuber of gestures，such as pointing at a picture.
The tea found that 14ontholds fro highincoe，welleducated failies used gestures to express about 24 different eanings during 90 inutes.Children fro lowerincoe failies expressed 13 eanings.
When the sae children entered school at age four and a half，those fro higherincoe failies had better vocabulary scores on standardized tests.
“At 14 onths，an age when there aren’t even socialeconoic differences in their talk yet，we see there are differences in their gestures，”Rowe said.
The videos found that parents fro wealthier failies gestured ore with their children than the other parents.
Rowe said the findings suggest that gestures can at least partly explain vocabulary differences between the groups，and ay prove useful as the basis for interventions (干预)．
“Can we control how uch parents and children gesture，and if so，will it increase their vocabulary？”Rowe asked.
【解题导语】 在孩子小时候用手势同其交流的多少会影响他上学时的词汇量。
64．When is the best tie for the parents to counicate with their children using gestures?
A．When their children start school.
