Unit 2 Inspiring people 主题阅读（短文语法填空和阅读选择） 专项练 2026-2027学年上学期初中英语人教版（新教材）九年级上册 一、阅读选择 Jane Goodall, a famous British scientist known for studying chimpanzees (黑猩猩), visited China from November to December 2024. She came to celebrate the 30th birthday of her environmental program, Roots & Shoots, in China. During her visit, Goodall shared many of her stories. When Goodall was a child, she loved reading and exploring nature. Her mother always encouraged her to ask questions and learn more. Goodall dreamed of seeing animals in their natural homes. In 1957, at age 23, Jane traveled to Kenya, Africa. There, she met the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who needed someone to study chimpanzees to understand human history. He believed Jane was perfect for the job. In 1960, Jane began working in Tanzania’s Gombe Forest. At first, chimpanzees were afraid of her. She spent months quietly watching them until they trusted her. She gave each chimp a name instead of using numbers and discovered they had feelings and families, just like humans. In October 1960, Goodall made an amazing discovery. She saw two chimpanzees using tools to get food. Before this, people thought only humans used tools. This discovery showed that chimpanzees are intelligent and social animals. Jane spent her life protecting animals and the environment. She started the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977. In 1991, she set up Roots & Shoots program, which came to China in 1994, to encourage young people to take action to help the Earth. “If we all do our part to help, the world will be a better place,” she said. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How does the writer organize the text?

Mary Anning was born in Lyme Regis, a seaside town in the UK, in 1799. Her parents had ten kids, but only Mary and her brother Joseph grew up. Mary’s father didn’t make much money in his job as a cupboard maker, so he decided to make their life better by looking for fossils (化石) at the beach and selling them to tourists. Young Mary and Joseph would join him, and they developed a deep love of fossil-hunting. After their father died in 1810, Mary and Joseph carried on hunting fossils to support the family. When Mary was 12, they found a strange 5.2-metre-long skeleton (骨骼). At first, scientists thought it was a fish-like living thing from far-away places. Later, they realized it was an ancient animal. In 1823, Mary and her dog made another big discovery: a long-necked dinosaur which looked so strange that many people thought it was false at first! She also found a flying dinosaur. These helped her know what their lives were like. She learned geology and scientific drawing by herself later. Mary was so highly skilled that she took important scientists to fossil hunting and discussed ideas with them. Mary died in 1847. In her life, although she was well-known for her discoveries, she wasn’t taken seriously as a scientist, because she was a woman and came from a poor family. Some men-scientists even said her discoveries were theirs. But now Mary is widely considered as an early explorer in the study of fossils and the greatest fossil hunter ever! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6．When did Mary and Joseph find the 5.2-metre-long skeleton?
