题目内容

　　On July 16,1960, Jane Goodall, a 26-year-old former secretary from England, began to study the behavior of chimpanzees in the wild. Until that time, scientists had mostly observed and studied chimpanzees in laboratories and zoos. Few scientists had gone to study chimpanzees in the remote areas of Africa where the chimps live. When scientists had studied the chimpanzees in the wild, they hadn't spent long periods of time observing them. Jane Goodall planned to watch chimpanzees in Africa over a ten-year period and see exactly how they behaved. She was not a professional scientist when she started out. Her book, In the Shadow of Man, tells how she began her project and what she discovered.

　　As Goodall said in 1973,“I had no qualification at all. I was just somebody with a love of animals.”Her love of animals drew her to Africa where she met Dr. Leakey SB. Leakey was a world-famous scientist who was studying how prehistoric people lived. Since chimpanzees are human's closest living relatives, Leakey thought prehistoric people might have lived in the same way that chimpanzees live today. Leakey told Goodall that studying chimpanzees might give clues about the way that early people lived.

　　Leakey asked Goodall to study the chimpanzees on the shores of lake Tanganyika in Africa. The chimpanzees were very shy and the country was difficult to travel through. Goodall took on the difficult job of finding and watching the chimpanzees.

1．It is clear from the text that Jane Goodall decided to study chimpanzees ________.

[　　]

A．because she was working in the laboratory

B．when she was doing research for a book

C．because of her scientific work in England

D．after she met Dr. Leakey in Africa

2．According to the information, finding chimpanzees in Africa would be a difficult task for Jane because ________.

[　　]

A．the country was rugged and the animals were timid

B．the chimpanzees may not remain in the area for ten years

C．Jane would have to identify areas where prehistoric people had lived

D．Dr. Leakey was not aware of the conditions in which the chimpanzees live

3．The title of Jane's book, In the Shadow of Man, ________.

[　　]

A．reflects Jane's passion for her work

B．hints at the difficulties that Jane faced

C．emphasizes the link between chimpanzees and humans

D．indicates that Jane's experiences mirrored those of other scientists

4．The word closest in meaning to“remote”, as it is used in the passage, is ________.

[　　]

A．famous
B．suitable
C．critical
D．isolated
答案：D;A;C;D
解析：

　　1．D　提示：可从第二段2～3行及第三段第一句得知答案。

　　2．A　提示：此题考查对文章基本事实的理解。第三段第二行的shy，difficult to travel为关键词。

　　3．C　提示：这本书强调了人和猩猩之间的关系。

　　4．D　提示：remote意为“偏远的”，由上下文可知D为答案。

Like most July days, it was hot. I stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to ?　1　? a chocolate ice-cream. It was a very ?　2　? store with little round tables and chairs.

“Poor woman,” I thought. “What does she get ?　7　? life? Why does God let people live so long past their youth?”

I looked ?　9　? at the first woman, then in the ?　10　? on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself. I was ?11　? a dirty shirt. She was well dressed in white, her ?　12　? shining with gold rings. I was ?13?.She was laughing, smiling. I was putting the ?　14? of my life together. She had millions of ?15? memories to recall. I sat alone. She was ?16　? the day with a good friend.　I was ?　17　? worried about getting old.　She was old, but it wasn't ?　18? her.

As I left the shop, I ?19　? my foolish question about God letting people live past their youth.?　20?,that woman was more alive, more sensitive to life, than I was. Age has not bent her spirit.
