They thought only humans could make tools and have real conversations. Then came Jane Goodall. As a child, Jane loved watching animals in her garden. She would sit for hours observing (观察) how birds built nests and squirrels collected food. This early love for nature stayed with her. At the age of 23, she went to Africa for the first time to realize her dream. Though she never went to university, she learnt much about animals from books.With help from scientist Louis Leakey, Jane began studying chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in Gombe forest. Her study method was different from that of other scientists—she gave the chimpanzees names like David Greybeard and Flo, treating them as individuals (个体). For months, the chimpanzees ran away when they saw her. But Jane stayed patient, watching from a distance every day.Jane’s patience brought amazing discoveries. She discovered that humans aren’t the only animals who use tools. She saw David Greybeard use a grass stem to catch termites (白蚁)—the first proof that animals could make and use tools. She also discovered that chimpanzees feel emotions and have families, having seen them hug when sad, hold hands, or have their mothers teach them to find food.Later Jane realized that studying animals wasn’t enough to protect them. She saw forests getting smaller and chimpanzees becoming fewer. So she started traveling worldwide, speaking to governments, schools, and communities. She told everyone that we must protect forests and the animals living in them.In 1991, Jane created Roots & Shoots to help young people make a difference. Students in this program clean up parks, plant trees, and help animals in their communities. One group in Tanzania built a safe place for birds. Another in Canada raised money to protect bear habitats (栖息地).Though Jane passed away recently, her work continues. She taught us that every person—including you and me—can help make our world better. As she often said, “Every day, each of us can make a difference.”1.When did Jane go to Africa for the first time _______________________________________________________________________2.How was Jane’s way of studying chimpanzees different from that of other scientists _______________________________________________________________________3.What were Jane’s discoveries about chimpanzees _______________________________________________________________________4.What did Jane create in 1991 _______________________________________________________________________5.Why do people see Jane Goodall as a great scientist Please list two reasons based on the passage._______________________________________________________________________二、阅读还原(七选五,5 小题,每题 2 分,共 10 分)建议用时:7分钟 | 实际用时:____分钟 | 得分:____/10答题要求:从方框内所给七个选项中选出最佳选项补全短文(有两项多余)。Professor Wang Wencai was a great Chinese scientist. 1.
