(A)
Jane Goodall was born in England, on April 3, 1934. At the age of eight, Jane was attracted to the Dr Dolittle books and dreamed of living with the animals in Africa. After finishing school, Jane took on a few jobs including waitressing and working for a film company. She saved every cent for her goal.
At 23, she left for Kenya, Africa. There she met the famous scientist Dr Louis and worked as assistant for him. Dr Louis believed Jane was the right person to study chimpanzees because she had great interest in animals and nature and knew much about them. More importantly, Dr Louis found Jane hadn’t received formal school training, which turned out to be an advantage. She wouldn’t be influenced by traditional thoughts. So Dr Louis sent her to the Gombe Stream Game Reserve (GSGR) to study wild chimpanzees.
Jane went to GSGR in 1960. Her early life there was hard. Jane had a serious fever. After getting well, she faced terrible natural environments. Dense bushes stopped her from going through the reserve, and she often hiked hundreds of miles but failed to find chimpanzees. Even if she saw them, they ran away quickly. Slowly, Jane learnt to get close to the chimpanzees. Finally, an adult chimpanzee accepted her, and she could watch the whole group’s daily activities.
Through years of hard work, Jane made groundbreaking discoveries. Chimpanzees can hunt for meat, use tools, and even make tools. They also have feelings just like humans. These findings made many scientists realize that their old ideas about animals might be wrong.
After staying in Gombe for years, Jane noticed that chimpanzees were losing their homes due to deforestation. Some people even hunted them for food and experiments. To protect chimpanzees and forests, she travelled around the world to call for public support. In 1977, she set up the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), which starts many programmes to encourage teenagers worldwide to protect nature, wildlife and local communities.
Jane passed away in Los Angeles on October 1, 2025, at the age of 91. Although she has left us, her discoveries and spirit still inspire people around the world to protect wildlife and our planet.

2. 第42题问Dr Louis选Jane的最重要原因，定位原文“More importantly, Dr Louis found Jane hadn’t received formal school training... wouldn’t be influenced by traditional thoughts”，即开放的思想，选D；
3. 第43题问GSGR的挑战，定位原文“failed to find chimpanzees. Even if she saw them, they ran away quickly”，即黑猩猩难发现且怕人，选B；
4. 第44题问Jane的主要贡献，定位原文“These findings made many scientists realize that their old ideas about animals might be wrong”，即改变人们对黑猩猩的看法，选D；
5. 第45题问Jane的特点，她克服困难坚持研究，体现意志坚强与耐心，选C。
【解析】
41. 细节理解题：根据原文，b（At eight, dreamed of living with animals in Africa）发生最早，随后c（saved every cent for her goal），接着a（At 23, left for Kenya, worked as assistant for Dr Louis），之后f（在GSGR时遇自然环境差、难寻黑猩猩等困难），再是e（做出黑猩猩的突破性发现），最后d（呼吁野生动物保护），顺序为b-c-a-f-e-d，故选B。
42. 细节理解题：根据原文第二段“More importantly, Dr Louis found Jane hadn’t received formal school training... wouldn’t be influenced by traditional thoughts”，可知Dr Louis选Jane最重要的原因是她有开放的思想，未受传统思维束缚，故选D。
43. 细节理解题：根据原文第三段“failed to find chimpanzees. Even if she saw them, they ran away quickly”，可知在GSGR的主要挑战是黑猩猩难发现且怕人类，故选B。
44. 细节理解题：根据原文第四段“These findings made many scientists realize that their old ideas about animals might be wrong”，可知Jane的主要贡献是改变了人们对黑猩猩的原有看法，故选D。
