25.At 26, Jane Goodall had no college education or science training. But since childhood, she had been dreaming of working closely with animals in Africa. “All through my childhood people said you can’t go to Africa. You’re a girl,” Goodall says. “But my mother used to say, if you really want to, there’s nothing you can’t do.” In 1957, the 26-year-old Goodall journeyed to Kenya to work as a secretary. She also arranged to meet the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who was so impressed by her enthusiasm that he hired her as his assistant. She went with him on many trips to the African jungle and in 1960 Leakey sent Goodall to live among chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in a remote animal preserve (禁猎地), recording the animals’ behavior and interactions. For three months Goodall made little progress. But she says, “1 never came close to giving up.” Her breakthrough came one day when she saw a male chimpanzee stick a blade of grass into a termite (白蚁) hill, then put the grass in his mouth. Afterward she approached the hill and did the same. Pulling the grass out, she discovered dozens of termites clinging to it. The discovery — that some animals use tools — was unknown to most scientists at the time. Goodall saw chimpanzees exhibit human-like emotions, such as jealousy and love. But she also discovered they were capable of violent attacks against each other. Goodall received her Ph. D in the study of animal behavior at England’s Cambridge University. Now she travels around the globe raising money to preserve wildlife. “I love being in the forest with the chimps,” she says. “I’d much rather be there than traveling around from city to city.”

C.She dreamed of becoming a scientist.

D.She dreamed of traveling all around the world.

(2).What did Goodall’s mother think of her dream? _______.

A.As a girl she should not go to the African jungle.

B.Her dream would remain a dream unless she got the right training.

C.As a girl she should stay away from violent animals.

D.She could make her dream come true if she was determined.

(3).Goodall’s most important discovery was that _______.

A.some animals use tools

B.like humans animals have emotions

C.chimpanzees could attack each other violently

D.termites are chimpanzees' favorite food

(4).Goodall’s success is chiefly due to her _______.

B.scientific training

C.determination and patience

D.enthusiasm and good luck

(5).What is Goodall doing now? _________.

B.Raising funds for the preservation of wildlife

C.Observing chimpanzees in African jungles.

D.Working hard supervising postgraduate students.

30.Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to the collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis (gigantic sea waves), and other observable events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themselves. The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indians to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time. This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth’s shell, variations in the earth’s force of attraction, and the frequency with which minor earth shakes are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in predicting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected. It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.

A.Earthquake destruction is declining.

B.Earthquake forecast is improving.

C.Man is no longer fearful of earthquakes.

(2).We can infer from the passage that quakes ______.

A.may not happen anywhere at any time

B.mostly strike in oceans and mountains

C.are unobservable in masses of land

D.are hardly the direct cause of fatalities

(3).The phrase “this element of the unknown” (Line 1, Paragraph 3) refers to ______.

A.the extension of earthquake zones

B.the percentage of earthquake occurrences

C.when and where earthquakes may occur

D.what big damage earthquakes may cause

(4).Man’s research on earthquake forecast at present is to ______.

A.reduce the loss from earthquake disasters

B.lower the frequency of earthquakes

C.release the energy that causes earthquakes

D.analyze the relationship between different earthquakes

(5).Which of the following describes the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A.Inform the reader.
