(1) Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees comes from the groundbreaking, long-term research of the great conservationist, Jane Goodall.
(2) Jane Goodall was born in London, England, on April 3, 1934. On her second birthday, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. Jubilee was named after a baby chimp in the London Zoo, and seemed to foretell the course Jane’s life would take. From an early age, Jane was fascinated by animals and animal stories. As a young woman, Jane finished school in London, attended secretarial school, and then worked for a documentary filmmaker for a while. When a school friend invited her to visit Kenya, she worked as a waitress until she had earned the fare to travel there by boat. She was 23 years old.
(3) Once in Kenya, she met Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous paleontologist and anthropologist. He was impressed with her thorough knowledge of Africa and its wildlife, and hired her as an assistant. Dr. Leakey soon realized that Jane was the perfect person to complete a study he had been planning for some time. She expressed her interest in the idea of studying animals by living in the wild with them, rather than studying dead animals through paleontology.
(4) However, Jane faced many challenges as she began her work. The chimpanzees did not accept her right away, and it took months for them to get used to her presence in their territory. But she was very patient and remained focused on her goal. Little by little, she was able to enter their world.
(5) At first, she was able to watch the chimpanzees only from a great distance, using binoculars. As time passed, she was able to move her observation point closer to them while still using camouflage. Eventually, she was able to sit among them, touching, patting, and even feeding them. It was an amazing accomplishment for Jane, and a breakthrough in the study of animals in the wild. Jane named all of the chimpanzees that she studied, stating in her journals that she felt they each had a unique personality.
(6) One of the first significant observations that Jane made during the study was that chimpanzees make and use tools, much like humans do, to help them get food. It was previously thought that humans alone used tools. Also thanks to Jane’s research, we now know that chimps eat meat as well as plants and fruits. In many ways, she has helped us to see how chimpanzees and humans are similar. In doing so, she has made us more sympathetic toward these creatures, while helping us to better understand ourselves.
(7) The study started by Jane Goodall in 1960 is now the longest field study of any animal species in their natural habitat. Research continues to this day in Gombe and is conducted by a team of trained Tanzanians.
(8) Dr. Jane Goodall is now the world’s most renowned authority on chimpanzees, having studied their behavior for nearly 40 years. She has published many scientific articles, has written two books, and has won numerous awards for her groundbreaking work. [br] Which of the following is NOT TRUE about chimpanzees?
选项
A、Chimpanzees are often comfortable with strangers right away.
B、Chimpanzees eat meat as well as plants and fruits.
C、Chimpanzees use tools to help them get food.
D、Different chimpanzees have different personalities.
答案
A
解析
细节题。“chimpanzees”是定位关键词,这里主要总结了Jane Goodall的研究结论。文中提到黑猩猩荤素都吃,会使用工具,而且在Goodall的日记中,她给每个黑猩猩都取了名字,因为它们都有各自的特性。只有选项A与文中给出的信息相反。第五段开头的几句话“At first,she was able to watch the chimpanzees only from a great distance,using binoculars. As time passed,she was able to move her observation point closer to them while still Using camouflage. Eventually, she was able to sit among them,touching,patting,and even feeding them. ”说明黑猩猩群体并不是从一开始就习惯和接受Goodall的近距离观察的,所以选A。
