“Becoming Jane”
Through September 7
National Geographic Museum
Jane Goodall began observing chimpanzees in
1960 at Gombe Stream Game Reserve in what is
now Tanzania, but her first study of animal
behavior took place some 20 years earlier,when
she,at 5 years old,spent several hours in a hen
house,waiting to see how a hen laid an egg.
That curiosity helped drive Goodall to become
one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century.
Her evolution from an innocent child to a“global icon
(偶像)”is documented in “Becoming Jane”,an
exhibit in Washington,D. C. through September 7.
After that,it heads to the Natural History Museum of
Los Angeles County.
“Becoming Jane ” is technologyheavy.
Interactive digital displays,3D experiences and a
hologram (全息图)like appearance by Goodall
herself will draw the attention of both adults and
youngsters. For those who have followed Goodalls
career closely,the real treat is seeing her birthday
gifts and books from her childhood,field notes,
Ph. D. papers and other personal belongings and
photos.
Visitors will follow the path of her childhood
dream gradually coming true,then the course of her
field study about chimpanzees in African wild
forests,with remarkable achievements,and finally
her recent life as an Animal Rights activist.

B
About 15 years ago,when my children were
still in elementary school,I was very active in the
Parent Teacher Association. At one of the monthly
meetings the topic of discussion was the new
curriculum (课程)that the state of Michigan was
presenting. Many concerns were voiced at that
meeting,and one of them was my own. My concern
was that the children were being taught things that
were once taught at a much later age.
Lets face it:children today have to learn and
adapt to (适应)a more technological society,one
where if youre not a peak performer youre just not
well received. Some say that the children of today have
it so much easier than 1020 years ago. Theyre given
so much more,not having to work for their toys and
little extras. They sit all day long in front of a
computer playing games. . . How hard can that be?
I,for one,think that todays children are
missing out on so many wonderful experiences
because of technology. What type of people skills
are they learning?They can type faster than any
other generation before them,but they cant pick
up the phone and have a really deep conversation.
There is an elementary school not far behind
my home and I used to see children on the
playground every day. Weekdays and weekends,
there would be children playing,shouting with joy.
But now I dont see many children there after
school,nor on the weekend. Has the playground
gone from our childrens life?
I know many teachers,some of whom are my
friends,may throw a shoe at me when I say play
doesnt always need to have a purpose and it doesnt
always have to have a teaching module included. To
compete in todays world,the children have to be
experts at multitasking (多任务处理),and on top
of their game at all times. I,for one,think this is a
shame.
4. Why was the author concerned?
A. The children didnt learn much at school.
B. The parents’ opinions were not valued by
schools.
C. The new curriculum was too advanced for the
children.
D. The children were not interested in the new
curriculum.
5. What should children learn according to the
author?
A. How to adapt to a technological society.
B. How to communicate with others.
C. How to work for toys and extras.
D. How to make a telephone call.
6. Which of the following would the author agree
with?
A. Childrens play should be well designed.
B. Play and learning should go hand in hand.
C. The multitasking ability is more important than
play.
D. Children should be allowed to play purposelessly.
7. What does the underlined part “throw a shoe at”
mean in the last paragraph?
A. Disagree with. B. Laugh at.
C. Support. D. Hit.

Ⅳ.七选五
As we “happen to be”the best creature in the world,its our duty to look after other species. Here
are some points which might help to protect wildlife.
Join organisations like Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund. They have devoted themselves to
protecting the earth and its animals. Many volunteers join organisations like these and work for the
environment. 1.
2. Dont buy anything made from ivory(象牙)or things like this. Baby seals(海豹)are
hunted for their skin,as it is used to make expensive coats. Dont buy them.
3. You can write a heartfelt and logical letter to the government,stating your ideas about this
problem and how it can be solved.
Recycle and reuse. It will reduce the need to have more raw materials to produce something.
4. And wild animals’home will not be destroyed.
Governments should create more safe zones and national parks for wild animals. 5.
Governments should apply strict laws to stop hunting.
I hope you find this post helpful. Share your views about this issue and let your voice be heard.
A. Let your voice be heard.
B. Stop hunting for pleasure.
C. As a result,fewer trees will be cut down.
D. You can build a bird house and feed local birds.
E. Refuse fur coats and medicines made from rare animals.
F. You can find some organisations like these and join them.
G. There they will be able to move freely without worrying about hunters.
Ⅴ.语法填空
The Sahara Desert is the worlds 1. (large)hot desert,located in North Africa.
2. (it)area is about 3. 5 million square miles. This 3. (make)it almost as large
4. the United States of America.
The Sahara Desert is famous for many large sand dunes(沙丘),some of 5. can reach
more than 600 feet high.
The Sahara Desert has been largely dry and with little plant life more than 5,000 years. Before this
time,it was far wetter. This allowed more plants 6. (live)across the desert. There is
evidence that many types of river animals have lived in the Sahara Desert. These have been found
7. (main)in southeast Algeria.
The climate of the Sahara Desert has changed over several thousands of years. The area is smaller
than it was during the last ice age. It was the end of the last ice age that brought a high level of rainfall to
the Sahara. This was between 8000 8. 6000 BC. Since this time,the northern part of the Sahara
has dried out. Though the southern Sahara still receives rain during rainy season,it is still 9.
(little)than before.
Modern times have seen a few 10. (development)for the Sahara. One of these is that
mines have been built to get the most from the natural resources (资源)within the area.

练案[4]
Ⅰ. 语篇导读:本文是一篇记叙文。叙述了如何简单地烹制
美味的感恩节火鸡的过程。
1. B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的最后一句“For this practice,
for years I thought turkey was the absolute hardest thing to cook in
the world.”并结合作者讲述的小时候在感恩节看到母亲做火
鸡的过程可知,本文使用举例的方式引出烹制火鸡的话题。
故选B。
2. D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后句子“This is very important.
Most people season their turkeys straight in its roasting pan,
leading to extra salt at the bottom.”可知,很多人直接在烤锅里
进行操作,导致底部有多余的盐,结合选项可知,season的意
思应为“加作料”,其中关键信息是“leading to extra salt at the
bottom”。故选D。
3. A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Another issue is that if
youre applying melted(融化的)butter and some of that drips off
into the pan,the milk fats can burn,and the one thing we dont
want on Thanksgiving Day is for the smoke alarm to go off.”可知,
奶油脂滴到锅里,可能导致燃烧,所以引发烟雾报警器响起的
原因是奶油脂着火。故选A。
4. A 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的最后一句“For this practice,
for years I thought turkey was the absolute hardest thing to cook in
the world.”可知,本句引出下文话题。结合第二段中的“For
me,Ive found that the best method is to just roast it like a
chicken. No black magic.”以及作者对整个烹制火鸡过程的简
述可推知,本文主要讲述的是如何烹制感恩节火鸡。故选A。
Ⅱ. 语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了七夕节的相
关情况。
1. is recognised 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:在中国农历
里,七月七日是年轻人浪漫的一天,被称为七夕节,也被认
为是中国的情人节。空处是一个定语从句,先行词Qixi
Festival在从句中作主语,指物,两者有被动关系,句子描述
客观事实,应用一般现在时单数谓语动词形式,be recognised
as意为“被认为是”。故填is recognised。
2. nearly 考查副词。句意:这个节日庆祝的是一个从汉代开
始,有近2,000年历史的童话故事。空格处意为“将近”,修
饰作定语的合成词“2,000yearold”,作状语,用副词修饰。
故填nearly。
3. has come 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:从那时起,七夕
就开始代表真爱。由“Since then”可知,句子时态用现在完成
时,主语Qixi是单数,语意理解为主动形式,因此空处用现在
完成时单数主动谓语动词形式。故填has come。
4. hoping 考查非谓语动词。句意:在古代,女孩们会在节日的
晚上给织女献上水果和食物,希望她们能像女神一样灵巧地
编织,这样她们就能找到理想的丈夫。句中谓语是would
offer,空处用非谓语动词,girls与hope之间是主动关系,因
此空处用现在分词,作状语。故填hoping。
5. in 考查介词。句意:今天,当七夕节到来的时候,许多年轻
人用他们自己的方式庆祝它。in. . . way是固定短语,意为
“以……的方式”,因此空格处用介词形式。故填in。
6. who 考查定语从句。句意:在绍兴,女孩们躲在南瓜地里,
相信那些能听到牛郎和织女低语的人会很快找到真爱。空处
引导的是定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词those指人,因
此空处用关系代词who。故填who。
7. to wash 考查非谓语动词。句意:在湖南,妇女从山上取水洗
头,这样她们就能得到织女的祝福。空处表示“妇女从山上
取水”的目的,所以用不定式作目的状语。故填to wash。
8. customs 考查名词复数。句意:如今,一些传统习俗在中国
农村地区仍然存在,但在城市里已被削弱了。空前有不定代
词some修饰,所以用名词复数形式。故填customs。
9. weakened 考查构词法和过去分词。根据本句时态和语态可
知,空处应该用过去分词形式,weak的动词形式是weaken,
此处表示被动。故填weakened。
10. the 考查冠词。句意:然而,牛郎和织女的传说已经在人们
心中扎下了根。由“legend of Niu Lang and Zhi Nü”可知,空
处修饰被限定范围的传说,所以用定冠词the,特指牛郎和
织女的传说。故填the。
