Question

【題目】 The Life of Jane Goodall

On the morning of July 14, 1960, Jane Goodall arrived at Lake Tanganyika in the Gombe National Park. Then around 5 p. m, Jane went into the forest to find her first chimpanzee.

As a young woman, Jane Goodall was following her childhood dream of studying chimpanzees in Africa. After many months of difficult work she made three important discoveries: chimpanzees ate meat, they used tools to get food, and they also made tools.

Every evening, Jane wrote her findings in her journal. She began to publish articles in magazines. After a while, Jane was accepted by a university. Her work was also making her famous. There was a documentary (紀錄片)film,Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees (1963), and then My Friends the Wild Chimpanzees (1969), the first of many books. During the 1970s, Gombe became a dangerous place to work. It is on the border of four different countries and there was fighting among them. Many foreigners left, but Jane stayed to continue her workand noted that chimpanzees could also be violent.

A different problem developed in Gombe in the 1980s. The forests were getting smaller and there was no enough space for chimpanzees because of the increasing human population.As a result, there were only about a hundred chimpanzees living in Gombe by t the end of the1980s. Jane realized something had to be done, so she made a plan with the local community to grow more trees.

At the beginning of the 1990s, Jane left Gombe. She set up sanctuaries (庇護所)for chimpanzees which had been caught because of the trade in chimpanzee meat. She also started giving speeches. She has very little spare time but still spends part of every year in the forest in Gombe, watching her chimpanzees.

本文介紹了在非洲貢貝研究黑猩猩的簡·古道爾。在非洲研究黑猩猩是簡．古道爾兒時的夢想。1960年7月14日上午，簡·古道爾抵達貢貝國家公園。經(jīng)過幾個月的艱苦工作，她發(fā)現(xiàn)了三個重要的發(fā)現(xiàn)：黑猩猩吃肉，他們用工具來獲取食物，他們還制造工具。每天晚上，簡都把她的發(fā)現(xiàn)寫在日記里，不久在雜志上發(fā)表文章、拍紀錄片、寫書。20世紀70年代，即使貢貝爆發(fā)沖突，簡仍然繼續(xù)工作。20世紀80年代，貢貝人類數(shù)量的增加，森林變得越來越小，威脅黑猩猩的生存，于是簡為幫助黑猩猩制定了種更多的樹的計劃。上世紀90年代初，簡離開了貢貝。但她為黑猩猩設立了庇護所。她開始演講。她幾乎沒有空閑時間，但她每年仍去貢貝的森林里看她的黑猩猩。
