A PROTECTION OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE
It is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the 1 . Jane has studied these animals for many years and helped people 2 how much they 3 like humans. 4 a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to a place 5 we left the chimp family 6 in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits while the animals in the group begin to wake up and move. Then we follow as the family begins to 7 into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that everybody will be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. But the evening makes it all 8 . The mother chimp and her babies play in the tree and, after they come into her arms, we see them go to sleep together in their 9 for the night.
Nobody before has fully understand chimp behaviour. Jane spent many years 10 and recording their daily activities. She did not study at a university but she was determined to work with animals in their own environment. When she arrived at Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one thing she 11 was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other and her study of their body language helped her 12 their social system
For forty years Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and 13 the life of these animals. She has 14 for them to be left in the wild and not used for 15 or advertisements. She has set up special places where they can live safely. Her life is very busy but as she says:
“Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It’s terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, ‘Aren’t they lucky?’ And then think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget…”
She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gaining a doctor’s degree for studies, showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Almost everyone likes to eat apples. Apples grow in nearly every part of the world. The United States produces more apples than any other country except France. The states of Washington and New York grow the most apples. 71 New York is on the east coast and Washington is on the west near Canada.
Apples are red, yellow or green. They are very popular in the United States. 72 Most American people are often too busy or too tired to cook dinner, so they often have their dinners very simply. Apple juice is also a popular drink and apple pie is the favorite sweet dish for many Americans.
73 The trees there produce nearly five billion apples every year—one apple for every man, woman and child in the whole world.
74 For example, “You are the apple of my eye.” means “You are actually the one I love best and care most.” In China, it is a custom in some places for the marrying couple to hold an apple in each one’s hand, promising that their marriage will be “safe” without anything bad and that their marriage will never be broken. “To apple polish” often refers to a man who fawns (奉承) on somebody for the purpose of getting some benefits. So you can easily get “apple polisher”. However, “in apple-pie order” usually has the same meaning as “in good order”. 75 In fact, it’s another saying about “compare two things that can’t be compared”.
A. The state of Washington is proud of its apples.
B. Apples play an important part in people’s health.
There are many stories and sayings about apples.
D. Perhaps this is why “New York” is often called “Big Apple” by some people.
E. The apples in France are better than those in America.
F. Many people like to carry apples to work or to school to eat with their lunches.
G. It is likely that you hear about “compare apples and oranges”
PART FOUR WRITING
SECTION A ( 10 points )
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS （每空不超过三个单词）for each answer.
A listener has written from China for advice about how to lose weight. Michael in Shanghai says he is 26 and has battled obesity （肥胖）for most of his life.
Obesity , a severe weight problem, is a complex condition. A doctor may advise taking medicine along with changing one’s behaviors. Experts say that the most successful weight—loss plans include a well-balanced diet and exercise.
People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use. To lose weight, you can reduce the number of calories you take in, increase the number you use, or both.
A recent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the US. Researchers at Stanford University in California studied over 300 overweight women, mostly in their thirties and forties. Each woman went on one of the four plans: Atkins, The Zone, Ornish or LEARN. The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans.
At the end of the year, the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most, more than four and one-half kilograms on average. They also did better on tests for cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Christopher Gardner, who led the study, says the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to eat less sugar. He also says that the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals. He says that there was not enough money to study men, but that men would probably have similar results.
Last week, another report based on thirty-one studies suggested that only a small minority of people have long-term success with dieting. Most dieters regained their lost weight within five years and often they become more overweight. But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised.

Suddenly it hit me how difficult it was for a woman to get medical training at that time. That was a generation when girl’s education was always placed second to boys’. Was she so much clever than anyone else? Further reading made me realize that it was hard work and determination as well as her gentle nature that got her into medical school. What made her succeed later on was the kindness and consideration she showed to all patients. There was story after story of how Lin Qiaozhi, tired after a day’s work, went late at night to deliver a baby for a poor family who could not pay her.
