二、阅读理解 (共 2 道试题,共 20 分)

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.”

(1).What was Goodalls childhood dream? _______.

A.She dreamed of going to college.

B.She dreamed of studying animals in Africa.

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? _________.

30.Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time. Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care most about. I know this from personal experience. E-mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren’t automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool. The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun - see a great film, perhaps - and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story. With e-mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience. E-mail is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use e-mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college. We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don’t eliminate any of the old ways.
