Ⅲ.阅读理解
Dr Dian Fossey, one of the world's leading women scientists, had a remarkable career.The
work — she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa
— has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this most
endangered great apes.
Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963.Three years later, she returned to Africa to
begin a longterm study of the mountain gorillas.She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of
Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967.She established her “Karisoke”
Research Centre camp on September 24, 1967.
Fossey's aims were to study gorilla ecology (生态学) and social organization.She found that
in order to achieve this, she needed to recognize individual gorillas, which required that the
gorillas get used to her presence (出现)．By copying gorillas, behaviour and sounds, Fossey
began to gain their trust, and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named “Peanuts” reached out
to touch her hand.
Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas' trust and
bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour.Stories and photographs of her work were
published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.
In 1977, one of Fossey's favorite gorillas, Digit, was killed by poachers and she established
the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.
On December 26, 1985, Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke.Her
body was discovered near the research centre.Most probably, Dian Fossey had been killed by the
poachers she'd fought against.On her tombstone (墓碑)：“No one loved gorillas more ...”
In 1988, the life and the work of Fossey were made into a movie based on her book.
1．Why does the author say “Dr Dian Fossey had a remarkable career”？
A．Because she travelled all over the world.
B．Because she liked to play with gorillas.
C．Because she studied gorilla ecology.
D．Because she made great apes increase steadily.
2．Which of the following shows the right time order of the events in Fossey's life?
a．She established the Digit Fund.
b．Her story was shown in a movie.
c．She was killed probably by the poachers.
d．She established her “Karisoke” centre.
A．a，d，c，b B．a，c，d，b
C．d，c，b，a D．d，a，c，b
3．The underlined word “poachers” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to people who ________.
A．sell drugs against the law
B．hunt animals against the law
C．hate successful people
D．like to do harm to people
4．From the words on Fossey's tombstone, we can infer that ________.
A．Fossey was the person who loved gorillas most
B．after Fossey died, no one loves gorillas
C．Fossey was the first one to study gorillas
D．everybody loves gorillas as Fossey did
