But since childhood, she had been dreaming of working closely with animals in Africa. “All through my childhood people said you cant go to Africa. Youre a girl.” Goodall says. “But my mother used to say, if you really want to, theres nothing you cant do.”In 1957, the 26-year-old Goodall went to Kenya to work as a secretary. She also arranged to meet the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who was so impressed by her enthusiasm that he hired her as his assistant. She went with him on many trips to the African jungle and in 1960 Leakey sent Goodall to live among chimpanzees in a remote animal preserve, recording the animals behavior and interactions.For three months Goodall made little progress. But she says, “I never came close to giving up.” Her breakthrough came one day when she saw a male chimpanzee stick a piece of grass into a termite (白蚁) hill, then put the grass in his mouth. Afterward she came to the hill and did the same. Pulling the grass out, she discovered dozens of termites on it. The discovery that some animals use tools was unknown to most scientists at the time.Goodall saw chimpanzees exhibit human-like emotions, such as jealousy and love. But she also discovered they were capable of violent attacks against each other.班级： 姓名：线封密线封密Goodall received her Ph.D. in the study of animal behavior at Englands Cambridge University.

Each year around 12.7 million people discover they have cancer and 7.6 million people die from some form of the disease. There are about 200 known types of cancer.Rachel Thompson, the WCRFs head of science, said that while the message was simple that not smoking, eating good food and being a healthy weight can help ward off many cancers it was still a difficult one to get across.The WHO says adults should do at least 150 minutes of exercise a week. This could be done by walking for 30 minutes five times per week or by cycling to work every day.Peter Baldini, head of the World Lung Foundation, also called on all governments to introduce smoke-free laws and raise the price of cigarettes. Tobacco kills millions of smokers every year, and tobacco-related lung cancers also kill hundreds of thousands of people who dont smoke but have been exposed to it second-hand.“There isnt a magic bullet to cure all forms of cancer, but we have the opportunity and the duty to protect people from developing cancer wherever possible,” Baldini said.46. Which of the following words can best take t he place of the phrase “ward off” in the sixth paragraph?A. protect B. prevent C. develop D. cure47. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the text?A. Exercising and eating healthily can help to reduce cancer risk.B. Each year about 12.7 million people are diagnosed with cancer around the world.C. Both smokers and non-smokers could die from tobacco-related cancersD. Adults should walk for fifty minutes three times per week.48. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?A. Simple life changes could stop millions of cancersB. Cancer is a leading cause of deathC. Our bad lifestyle caused many diseases D. The incidence of common cancers is rising49. By writing the passage, the author mainly intends to .A. advise people to develop healthier lifestyle.B. warn people of the danger of cancersC. explain why many people die from cancers every year.D. introduce the ways to protect people from developing cancers50. We can infer from Peter Baldinis opinion in the last two paragraphs that .A. all the lung cancers are linked to smokingB. there is no medicine to cure the cancers but its our duty to find oneC. all governments should take measures to control smokers and protect peoples healthD. its our opportunity and duty to persuade people to give up smokingD班级： 姓名：线封密线封密Boys need friends, suffer when they dont believe they have any, and worry over the ups and downs of relationships. Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do, in truth, though, no boy is an island; boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships, most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives, and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are. A recent study of 10-to-15-year-old boys and girls found that girls friendships are actually more fragile. Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys, and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”; they love games with rules, competition, and doing things together. Boys seem to enjoy, even need the opportunity to test themselves against others, and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on the basketball court. Competence and skill are widely respected; being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.As boys mature, the friendship becomes even more important, and it frequently widens to include girls. During the teen years, friends can become the most important part of a boys lifeand a part in which his parents are not included. The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends. There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”, someone he can trust. They may be partners in crime or partners in study, but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.51.
