Ⅰ.阅读理解
情境 素材 珍·古道尔 「2026 山东潍坊坊子期中改编」
Jane Goodall, one of the world’s most famous ethologists(动物行为学家), was born in England in 1934. Her love for animals started early—she even kept a pet chimpanzee toy as a child, which sparked her curiosity about these smart animals.
In 1960, at the age of 26, Goodall traveled to Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. There, she began studying wild chimpanzees, a task no one had done long term before. For over 60 years, she watched their daily lives closely: how they built nests, looked after their young, and worked together in groups. Her biggest discovery shocked the scientific world—she found that chimpanzees use tools, like sticks to get insects(昆虫) from trees. This changed the old idea that only humans could make and use tools.
Goodall didn’t stop at research. She wanted to protect chimpanzees and their habitats(栖息地). In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, which works to save chimpanzees and teach people about environmental protection. She also became a UN Messenger of Peace, traveling around the world to speak about caring for nature. Even in her later years, she kept advocating(提倡) for animals and the planet.
Goodall died in 2025 at the age of 91. Her work not only developed science but also encouraged millions of young people to take action for wildlife and the Earth.

D.Goodall’s most important scientific discoveries about chimpanzees.

1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“she even kept a pet chimpanzee toy as a child, which sparked her curiosity about these smart animals”可知，她小时候有过一只黑猩猩宠物玩具，它激发了她对这些聪明动物的好奇心。故选D。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Her biggest discovery shocked the scientific world—she found that chimpanzees use tools…This changed the old idea that only humans could make and use tools.”可推知，黑猩猩使用工具的发现震惊了科学界，shocked 意为“震惊”，与surprised 的意思最接近。故选A。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This changed the old idea that only humans could make and use tools.”可知，在珍·古道尔的发现之前，人们认为只有人类能制作和使用工具。故选C。
4.C 段落大意题。通读第三段可知，本段主要讲了珍·古道尔在保护黑猩猩和环境方面的行动。故选C。
技巧点拨 段落大意题考查某个段落的主旨大意，而非全文的主旨大意。解题时要特别注意该段的第一句和最后一句，有时需要学生根据段落整体内容自己概括大意。

Have you known about Yang Zhenning? He is one of the 5 physicists in the world. He was born in 1922 and passed away in Beijing in 2025, at the age of 103.
Yang had a strong love for 6. As a young man, he studied hard and later went to the US for further 7. In 1957, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics with 8 partner Li Zhengdao. This made him very famous around the world.
9 he lived abroad for years, Yang never forgot his motherland. In 1971, he became the 10 Chinese scholar to visit the People's Republic of China after a long period of separation, helping build links 11 Chinese and American scientists. He also raised money to 12 Chinese scholars to study abroad. In 1999, Yang Zhenning returned to Tsinghua University and made a big 13 in the field of science in China.
We will always remember this great man. He has not only made great contributions to physics but also 14 many young scientists in China.
5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
10. 11. 12. 13. 14.

5.greatest 此处表示“他是世界上最伟大的物理学家之一”，结合“one of the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”的结构可知，此处应填great 的最高级形式 greatest。
