And at age 23, she left for Nairobi, Kenya. There, Jane met famed Dr. Louis Leakey, who offered her a job at the local
19、 natural history museum. She worked there for a time before Leakey decided to send her to the Gombe Stream Game Reserve in Tanzania to study wild chimpanzees. He felt her strong interest in animals and nature, and her knowledge as well as high energy made her a great candidate to study the chimpanze
20、es. In December 1958, Jane returned home to England and Leakey began to make arrangements for the expedition (考察), securing the appropriate permissions from the government and raising funds. In May 1960, Jane learned that Leakey had gained funding from 第 6 页 共 21 页 the Wilkie Brothers Foundation. Ja
21、ne arrived by boat at the Gombe Stream Game Reserve on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika with her mother. The early weeks at Gombe were challenging. Jane developed a fever that delayed the start of her work. Finally, an older chimpanzee named David Greybeard, began to allow Jane to watch him. As
22、a high ranking male of the chimpanzee community, his acceptance meant other group members also allowed Jane to observe. It was David Greybeard whom Jane first witnessed using tools. Excited, she telegraphed Dr. Leakey about her observation. He wrote back, “Now we must redefine tool, and man, or acce
23、pt chimpanzees as humans.” Jane continued to work in the field and, with Leakeys help, began her doctoral program without an undergraduate degree in 1962. At Cambridge University, she found herself at odds with senior scientists over the methods she used how she had named the chimpanzees rather than
24、 using the more common numbering system, and for suggesting that the chimps have emotions and personalities. She further upset those in power at the university when she wrote her first book, My Friends, the Wild Chimpanzees, aimed at the general public rather than an academic audience. The book was
25、wildly popular, and her academic peers were outraged. Dr. Jane Goodall earned her Ph.D. on February 9, 1966, and continued to work at Gombe for the next twenty years. 24. What can we infer from the passage? A. The journey to Kenya rooted Janes deep love for animals. B. Jane was the first to discover

Cooperation is the only key to making significant discoveries. C. Passion and hard work can make a difference in scientific r
29、esearch. D. The ability to raise funds counts in achieving great success. C The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress p
30、oints are. Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well- being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated and inactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in- vehicle technologies for older drivers which th
31、ey hope could help them to continue driving into later life These include custom- made navigation（导航）tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving the
32、ir independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.” “But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving ski
33、lls. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.” Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these probl
34、ems.” “For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. Were looking at the benefits of sy
35、stems which control their speed as a way of preventing that “We hope that our work will help with technological solutions to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.” 第 8 页 共 21 页 28. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB? A. To explore new means of transport. B. To find out older driver
36、s problems. C. To design new types of cars. D. To teach people traffic rules. 29. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe? A. It cures their mental illnesses. B. It helps them save time. C. It builds up their strength. D. It keeps them independent. 30. What do researchers
37、hope to do for older drivers? A. Improve their driving skills. B. Provide tips on repairing their cars. C. Develop driver- assist technologies. D. Organize regular physical checkups. 31.

A new Model Electric Car D FaceApp has taken the world by storm, giving users the chance to see themselves age through its algorithm （算法） . 12.7 million peoplesome three million more than the population of New York Cityreportedly downloaded it in a week last month. Althoug
39、h the Russian app has become known for its privacy issues, the more interesting lesson of our FaceApp fling （尽情玩乐） is what it tells us about our societyand our future lives. It turns out we are more interested in aging than we realized. Most younger people are denying old age, doing almost nothing t
40、o prepare for it. We rarely have a chance to plan for the future, with increasing time and financial pressures. Those pressures bring sacrifices we may not always want to make: we can no longer afford to spend the time or the money needed to look after our elderly parents. As a family doctor, I can
41、see the loneliness epidemic （流行病） developing. Elderly patients come to see me with no particular illness, no clear medical issue. After a few minutes of the consultation, I understand why: they are not sick, and often they dont feel sick. They just need someoneanyoneto talk to. Although loneliness h
42、as no medical classification, the health effects are real: loneliness and 第 9 页 共 21 页 isolation can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and is more damaging than obesity. But loneliness does not come with nearly enough health warnings. So what next? Since 1980, we are living on average 10
43、 years longer. Meanwhile, people are having fewer children, and they are having them much later in life. The snake of a world class health service is eating its own tail; its care is prolonging peoples lives, but as the rate of pensioners（退休人员）to working- age people increases, there are fewer taxpay
44、ers to fund that very health service. Into this emptiness have stepped NGOs, charities and volunteers. But in the long term, the only way to truly help the oldest members of our society is to go back to the traditional values of inter- generational cooperationoften under the same roof. Ultimately, w
45、e will need to evolve towards a culture where elderly care is treated the same as childcare, where employers recognize the duty of someone with an elderly parent the same way they recognize those of someone with a newborn child. 32. Whats the writers intention of mentioning FaceApp in the first two
46、paragraphs? A. To prove its popularity. B. To explain its function. C. To show the progress of technology. D. To introduce the topic of aging and loneliness. 33. What makes elderly people without illness go to see their family doctors? A. Desire to have the consultation. B. Strong feeling of lonelin
47、ess. C. Unclear medical issues. D. Questions to ask doctors. 34. How can the oldest members be truly helped? A. By being treated as children. B. By going back to the traditional society. C. By providing family care. D. By living with other elderly people under the same roof. 35. What can we learn fr
48、om the passage? A. The loneliness of elderly people needs more attention. 第 10 页 共 21 页 B. FaceApps popularity proves it has no security problems. C. Health service lacks fund because of prolonged peoples lives. D. FaceApp is helpful in dealing with elderly peoples loneliness. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满
