题文

From a young age, it was my dream to go to Africa and work with animals. Everybody laughed at me, but my mother, Vanne, told me never to give up, and that I could always find a way.So, when I was 23, after saving up my earnings from working as a waitress, I went to wild, untamed (野性的) Africa and began my work. In 1960 I went to the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Rerve. At that time, we knew nothing of the behavior or social structure of chimps (黑猩猩), and I was to go there and e what I could find out. Usually, when you wake up, you leave your dreams behind you, but I found mylf waking up to my dream.As the British government wouldn’t let me go without older women’s company, my amazing mother came with me and stayed for four months. We shared a cond-hand army tent, and we ud the stream for fresh water and washing. We could swim in the lake, although there were crocodiles.It was beautiful there, although both my mother and I nearly died of malaria (疟疾). I was scared I wouldn’t be able to do what I had t out to, becau, at first, the chimps ran away from me in fear. I spent my days watching, listening, tracking and in the evenings writing up my notes.For my mother, who stayed back at the camp, it must have been terrifying, and very lonely. There were snakes and spiders, as well as an old leopard who would come by. But she had an amazing way with people, and would hand out medicines to the fishermen, who saw her as a witch doctor.In my fifth month there, I finally saw one of the chimps, which I called David Greybeard, stripping (剥光) straw to “fish” for termites (白蚁). It proved that man wasn’t the only toolmaker, and that everything had to be redefined.小题1:What does the author mean by saying “I found mylf waking up to my dream” in the cond paragraph?A．She lacked sleep due to busy work.B．She found her dream was hard to realize.C．She had more new dreams about her work.D．She tried to realize her dream every day.小题2:The author was afraid at the Rerve in the beginning becau _____.A．there were crocodiles in the lakeB．she could not get clo to the chimps C．it was hard to get clean waterD．the chimps attacked her sometimes小题3:The author’s mother was thought of by the local people as _____.A．helpful and warm-heartedB．funny and lfishC．romantic and talkativeD．honest and hardworking小题4: Which of the following is the author’s important discovery?A．She found a new kind of termite.B．Chimps can communicate with each other.C．Some other animals can also make tools.D．Chimps can find medicines to cure themlves. 题型：未知难度：其他题型
