Many children may be fond of animals, but few ever think of making the study of animals their career(职业).Even fewer will be   1    by the whole world,   2    the title of United Nations Messenger(使者) of Peace.

But one woman has    3    all that. She has lived with chimpanzees in the African forest for more than 20 years and made great    4   .This woman is Jane Goodall. She was born in London, England, in 1934.Goodall’s lifelong    5    in animals began at an early age. By the age of 10 or 11,Goodall    6    going to Africa to live with animals. This was quite a strange dream in those days, as young    7    didn’t think of having such “wild” actions. But she was   8    by her mother. She told her that if she really wanted something, she should work hard, take advantage of   9   and never give up looking for a way.

When a close friend invited Goodall to Kenya in 1957,she readily   10   .Within a few months of her arrival she met the famous anthropologist(人类学家) Dr. Louis Leakey, who soon decided that Goodall was the    11    person he was looking for to begin a    12    of wild chimpanzees on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania.

In July 1960, Goodall arrived at Gombe National Park in Tanzania. At the beginning, studying the chimpanzees was not    13   for her. The animals fled from her   14   , so it took months for her to get close to them. With a strong   15   , she searched the forest every day, trying not to get too close to the chimpanzees too   16   . Gradually the chimpanzees became used to her presence.

She discovered many things of chimpanzees during her first years at Gombe National Park. In October 1960,she observed a chimpanzee making and using   17    to fish for termites (白蚁).This discovery threw    18    on the popular idea at the time that Man was the world’s only toolmaker. The longer Goodall’s research continues, the more it becomes obvious that chimpanzees are very   19    to humans.

Since the mid-1980s, Goodall has been lecturing around the world to raise people’s sense about environmental    20   . “Let’s live in the new age with hope, respect for all living things, understanding and love,” she said.

第三部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
  阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
  Soon it may be harder to stop and smell the roses.
  Growing levels of air pollution from power plants and automobiles have reduced flower fragrances (芬芳) by up to 90 percent in the US.That is compared with pre-industrial levels,a new study has found.
  The trend is unpleasant for human noses,but may be life - threatening for bees and butterflies.
  "Many insects find flowers by folowing the scent(香味) produced by those flowers," said the studies lead author Jose D.Fuentes,an environmental scientist at the University of Virginia.
  "The increasing pollution makes it difficult for them to locate the flowers and feed on their nectar(花蜜)."
  Scientists have alrady known that flowers produce scent molecules(分子) that bond with pollutants.The process breaks down the plants' sweet smell.
  With more pollution in the air,the scent molecules don't remain effective as long and travel shorter distances on the wind.
  The new study suggests that in the mid - 19th century,when pollution levels were first recorded,scent molecules would have been able to travel some 1,000 to 1,200 meters.
  Today,in the polluted air found downwind of large cities,scentst may only make it some 200 to 300 meters.
  The report was recently published in the journal,Atmospheric Environment.
  Bee farmers have reported that bee populations are dropping dramatically in many parts of the world in recent years. Could these missing scents be a factor?
  Scientists trying to hind the cause of bee population declines have blamed bacteria,pesticides,and even cellphone radiation.
  Jay Evans,an entomologist(昆虫学者) at the US Department of Agriculture's bee research laboratory,was interested in the new study.But he says he hasn't seen bee behavior that suggests trouble with scents.
  "Over the last couple of summers I don't think the bees in this area were bringing in much less food,"he said.
  "It might be that they had to work harder,but it seems like as long as there were bees to collect food they were finding flowers somewhere."
  But Fuentes fears that the fading smell of flowers may stress insects that are already faced with other threats.
  "The effects shown in these studies will simply exacerbate whatever the bees are going through right now,"he said.
  "It's something that is really worthwhile paying attention to."
  56.What's the passage mainly about?
   A.How greatly air plooution affects our lives.
   B.Effects of air pollution on bee populations.
   C.Measures to fight air pollution.
   D.The rapid decline of bee populations in the world.
  57.According to the passage,Jay Evans probably agrees that ______ .
   A.bees are the insect that suffers most from air pollution
   B.bees are at risk of dying out owing to air pollution
   C.the fading smell of flowers doesn't affect bees so greatly as was thought
   D.as is often the case,bees fail to locate the flowers because of the missing scents
  58.The word"exacerbate" in the last paragraph but one probably means ______.
   A.worsen B.improve C.get rid of D.decrease
  59.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
   A.The more air pollution there is in a region,the greater the destruction of the flower scents.
   B.Bacteria,pesticides,and cellphone radiation are blamed for causing the decline of bees.
   C.The scent molecules produced by flowers in a less polluted environment oculd travel longer and farther.
   D.Air pollution does more harm to insects such as bees and butterflies than human beings.
