二、短篇阅读
Jane, a 91-year-old British scientist known for her pioneering studies of chimpanzees（黑猩猩）, passed away on a speaking tour. She loved animals from an early age and dreamed of working with them in Africa.
In 1960, she travelled to Tanzania and entered the world of wild chimpanzees. Over the next 60 years, her research changed how people understood chimpanzees and introduced a new way to study wildlife. She lived closely with chimpanzees to learn about their social lives. She gave them names and formed close relationships with them. She discovered that chimpanzees have complex（复杂的） social lives and different personalities, such as being shy or outgoing.
Two of her most important discoveries came in 1960. She saw chimpanzees eating meat, challenging the idea that they only ate plants. More surprisingly, she found a chimpanzee making and using tools. This finding changed the long-held idea that only humans use tools.
Besides her research, she travelled around to speak about the dangers chimpanzees and the environment face. “The least I can do is to speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves,” she said.

A. She spent many years in Africa.

D. She made speeches about chimpanzees.

解析
【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题，包含细节理解和主旨大意两类题型。第1题需定位原文中关于Jane研究野生动物方式独特性的描述，找到对应选项；第2题需梳理全文核心内容，概括最贴合的标题。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：根据原文第二段“Over the next 60 years, her research... introduced a new way to study wildlife. She lived closely with chimpanzees to learn about their social lives.”可知，Jane研究方式的独特之处在于与黑猩猩密切相处，对应选项B。A选项“在非洲待多年”不是研究方式不同的原因；C选项“改变黑猩猩饮食”与原文不符（她发现黑猩猩吃肉，而非改变其饮食）；D选项“关于黑猩猩的演讲”是她后续的公益活动，并非研究方式，故排除A、C、D，选B。
2. 主旨大意题：全文主要介绍了以黑猩猩研究闻名的英国科学家Jane的生平、研究贡献及后续公益行动，核心突出她作为黑猩猩研究先驱的身份，对应选项A。B选项“研究动物的方法”仅涉及部分内容；C选项“黑猩猩的秘密生活”偏离人物核心；D选项“保护野生”仅为她的部分活动，均不全面，故排除B、C、D，选A。
