Jane Goodall is best known for her 26-year study of the chimps in the wild. There, she made several revolutionary discoveries that made her one of the greatest field scientists of the 20th century.
Born in London in 1934, the expectations for Jane were standard for the time: a marriage to a nice man, followed by a few children. Fortunately, her mother never discouraged her interest: animals and the natural world. Once her mother discovered that little Jane had brought a handful of worms(幼虫) to bed; rather than screaming, she explained that her new little friends needed the soil to live, and together, they took them back to the garden.
Jane was a bookworm who admired Doctor Dolittle and loved the Tarzan novels. Reading did its usually quiet but life-changing thing: Jane developed a dream to go to Africa and live among the wild animals.
Jane realized her dream on July 14, 1960 when she arrived at Gombe Stream Game Reserve to study the chimps. However, for two months, the chimps escaped when they heard her coming. The only thing she saw was the back of a chimp, running away from her.
“The more I thought of the task I had set myself, the more discouraged I became,” Jane wrote in her first book, In the Shadow of Man.
Eventually, she became familiar with a male chimp and his big family. She observed them kiss, hug, pat each other on the back, and shake their fingers at each other. She watched them act very human-like.
One day, moving quietly through the jungle, Jane saw the male chimp sit beside a large termite mound (白蚁土堆). He kept taking small branches from trees and putting them in the holes to fish the ants.
In any case, Jane’s discovery became the talk of the scientific world. Harvard’s Stephen Jay Gould observed, “We must now re-think what the words ‘tool’ and ‘man’ mean or accept chimps as humans.”
( )1.What did Jane’s mother do when she found the worms on the bed? A.She studied them carefully. B.She shouted at her daughter. C.She threw them into the garden. D.She explained they liked the soil.
( )2.Which is the major reason that made Jane dream to work in the wild? A.Doctor Dolittle’s invitation. B.Her interest in chimps. C.The reading in her childhood. D.Her mother’s encouragement.
( )3.How did Jane feel during the first two months in Africa? A.Lonely. B.Frightened.
C.Hopeless. D.Content.
( )4.What did Stephen Jay Gould’s words imply? A.Chimps should be accepted as humans. B.Jane’s discovery is of great importance.
C.Only human beings know how to make use of tools. D.The scientists should confirm the meaning of the words. Ⅲ.完形填空

Ⅱ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇人物传记,主要介绍了研究野生黑猩猩长达26年的科学家Jane Goodall的生平以及成就。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Once her mother discovered that little Jane had brought a handful of worms(幼虫) to bed; rather than screaming, she explained that her new little friends needed the soil to live, and together, they took them back to the garden.(有一次,她妈妈发现年幼的简带着一把虫子上了床;她没有尖叫,而是解释说,她的新的‘小朋友’需要土壤来存活,于是她们一起把它们带回了花园。)”可知,简的妈妈发现床上有虫子时,她解释说它们喜欢土壤。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Reading did its usually quiet but life-changing thing: Jane developed a dream to go to Africa and live among the wild animals.”可知,阅读往往是平静却能改变生活的,它使简梦想着去非洲,和野生动物生活在一起。由此可知,简梦想在野外工作的主要原因是她童年时代的阅读。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第五段中“‘The more I thought of the task I had set myself, the more discouraged I became,’ Jane wrote in her first book…”可知,简在她的第一本书中写道:“我越是想起我给自己设定的任务,我就越泄气。”由此可推断出,简在非洲的头两个月感觉很绝望。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中最后一句“‘We must now re-think what the words ‘tool’ and ‘man’ mean or accept chimps as humans.’”可知,哈佛大学的Stephen Jay Gould说:“我们现在必须重新思考‘工具’和‘人’的含义,或者接受黑猩猩是人类。”由此推断出,Stephen Jay Gould的话暗示出简的发现很重要。
Ⅲ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。经历一次交通小事故后,作者开始思考人类与动物的关系,他认为我们应该保护野生动物,因为保护它们就是保护人类自己。 1.B 根据下文可知,作者的车差点跟一头麋鹿相撞,所以作者当时在开车(driving)。 2.D 根据上文中的“It happened on a rainy Saturday morning last month.”以及下文中的“…there were few cars on the road.”可知,马路上车少是因为当时还很早(early)。 3.D 根据下文的“A moose jumped out…”可知,突然有事情发生了。
4.B 根据上文中的“I had been driving for years…”可知,作者开了很多年车,擅长开车。be good at 擅长。
5.A 根据下文中的“If I had not done that, the moose might have been killed…”可知,这里是指为了“避免”撞上这头麋鹿…… 6.A “我”急转弯到了另外一条道上。
7.C 根据下文中的“…looked back in my rear view mirror…”可知,作者当时把车停(stopped)了下来,从后视镜里看到那头麋鹿起身,随后跑进了树丛。 8.B “我们”虽然受到惊吓,但是没事(fine)。
9.D 根据下文可知,从那以后,作者经常思考人类与野生动物(wildlife)的关系。 10.C 我们知道,自从地球上出现生命以后,动物物种不断地(continually)出现并灭绝。 11.B 这是个自然(natural)现象。
12.C 根据上下文可知,这里表示原因,故用because of。

15.B 所有动物在自然界中都有自己的角色,它们都有权利生存(survive)。

2.working 考查动名词。insist on doing sth意为“坚持做某事”,故用动名词作宾语。 3.a 考查冠词。set an example 意为“树立榜样”,名词example前有形容词good修饰,故用冠词a。

5.To prove 考查不定式。根据句意可知,此处应用不定式作目的状语。 6.finally 考查副词。本空修饰动词saw,故用副词finally作状语。
7.years 考查名词复数。 year是可数名词,根据句意可知,此处应用名词复数形式years。
8.painful 考查形容词。本空在句中作表语,故应用形容词painful,表示 “痛苦的”。 9.how 考查让步状语从句。设空处引导让步状语从句,根据空后形容词big or small可知,应用how。
10.happier 考查形容词比较级。根据空后than可知,此处应用形容词比较级happier。
