【原文·时文阅读】
Tributes have been paid to legendary chimpanzee expert Dr Jane Goodall, who has died aged 91.
Widely considered the world's leading expert on the creatures, the UN Messenger of Peace and Founder
dedicated her life to the protection of the animals with her ground-breaking studies. The primatologist passed away
while on tour in California.
A post on her institute's Facebook page said: "The Jane Goodall Institute has learned this morning, Wednesday,
October 1, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute has
passed away due to natural causes.
"She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States. Dr. Goodall's discoveries as an
ethologist revolutionised science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our
natural world."

The ethologist, a winner of the Mirror's Animal Hero award, worked with the incredible creatures for almost
70 years. Jane – who was made a dame in recognition of her achievements – previously recalled the moment she
was accepted by the chimp community when a primate she named David Greybeard, due to his silver facial hair,
first approached her.
She said in 2020: “The chimpanzees spent the first two to three months running away from me and I’d get
upset because I knew if I didn’t see something exciting, funding would run out for the project.
“They eventually tolerated me. But David Greybeard will always be special because he was the first of the
chimpanzees to come close to me. Then one day he took a banana from my hand. He was amazingly gentle.”
What followed was an extraordinary relationship between Jane and the apes, caught on film by a cameraman
who would later become her husband. She admitted there were times she was scared.
“The chimpanzees are 10 times stronger than me and when the big males charged or sometimes hit me, it was
scary but I was there for a reason.”
Dame Jane was born in London in 1934 and began researching free-living chimpanzees in Tanzania in
1960.In 1977 she founded the Jane Goodall Institute, which works to protect the species and supports youth
projects aimed at benefiting animals and the environment.
In 2002 she was handed a prominent United Nations role when she became a Messenger of Peace.A post to the
official X account of the UN said: "Today, the UN family mourns the loss of Dr Jane Goodall. The scientist,
conservationist and UN Messenger of Peace worked tirelessly for our planet and all its inhabitants, leaving an
extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature."

Passage1 阅读理解
（2025·安徽省五校联考）
Jane Goodall, a renowned British primatologist (灵长类动物学家), revolutionized our understanding of
chimpanzees and their behavior through her groundbreaking work in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. Her
journey began in 1960 when she arrived in Gombe, initially feeling like an outsider among the chimpanzees.
However, her persistence paid off when she encountered David Greybeard, a chimpanzee who trusted her and led
her to a fact that no one had ever discovered — chimpanzees were capable of making and using tools. This finding
challenged the common belief that only humans possessed rational thought and tool-making abilities.
Goodall’s lack of formal university training initially worked in her favor, as her unprejudiced perspective
allowed her to observe chimpanzees with fresh eyes. Her tutor, Louis Leakey, recognized her passion and patience,
qualities that would define her career. Goodall’s observations revealed the complex social structures and emotional
lives of chimpanzees, particularly through her relationship with Flo, a mother chimpanzee, and her family. Flo’s
nurturing (养育的) behavior mirrored that of human mothers, deepening Goodall’s understanding of the similarities
between humans and chimpanzees. Goodall’s work extended beyond research. She witnessed the darker side of
chimpanzee behavior during the “Four Year War,” a violent conflict between rival chimpanzee groups. This
experience led her to reflect on the deep-seated aggression in human nature, inherited from our primate ancestors.
Despite many challenges, Goodall remained committed to conservation, establishing centers for orphaned
chimpanzees, such as the one in Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo. Goodall’s fame grew, and she became a symbol
of scientific dedication. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to support conservation efforts and
community development programs, including Roots and Shoots, which empowers young people to engage in
environmental protection. Goodall also advocates education for young African girls, providing scholarships and
reproductive health education.
Now in her 90s, Goodall continues to travel extensively, advocating for environmental protection and animal
welfare. Her legacy is not only in her scientific contributions but also in her tireless efforts to inspire future
generations to care for the planet and its inhabitants. Jane Goodall’s life and work remind us of the profound
connections between humans and the natural world.

Passage2 阅读理解
（2025·河北省邯郸市高三联考）
It started as a poem, filled with lines inviting readers to listen to “the whisper” and act. Then it became a
children’s book with airy illustrations. Now, Tom Rivett-Carnac’s children’s book What Happened When We All
Stopped has become a beautiful animated (动画) poem narrated (讲述) by UN Messenger of Peace Jane Goodall.
In Tom Rivett-Carnac’s book, there is a sense of hope and an invitation to carry on a meaningful project requiring
the participation of all the citizens of the world. The book was illustrated by Tom Rivett-Carnac’s sister, Bee Rivett-
Carnac, and was specifically intended to stimulate inspiration to take environmental action.
Tom Rivett-Carnac has been working on issues like climate change for the past 20 years. He is known for his
work as a political strategist on The Paris Climate Change Agreement. He thought a book addressing some of the
most challenging times in human history would be useful for children and parents alike. “As a father of two young
children, I know how hard it can be to raise these subjects, which seem so abstract and alarming, but the
fundamental message in this poem is one of hope,” says Tom Rivett-Carnac. “The future is unwritten. What
happens next is up to us. We who are here now get to choose how the next chapter of the human story will unfold
— and we must choose well.”
Dr. Jane Goodall, who was inspired by the original poem, was eager to provide the narration. “This
wonderful story helps parents and their children to find a way of living in harmony with nature,” Goodall explains.
“I hope this storybook inspires people of all ages to play their part in healing (治愈) the harm we have suffered so
that together we can create a new future.”
The animated video was created by TED-Ed’s animation team and breathed a new expression and urgency
into Tom Rivett-Carnac’s work. It’s just over three minutes in length, but the animation takes the audience on a vast
journey of “what ifs” and an exploration into What Happened When We All Stopped.
5．Why did Tom Rivett-Carnac create the book?
A．To provide political strategies.
B．To entertain children with stories.
C．To encourage action on climate change.
D．To criticize current environmental policies.
6．What can be inferred from Dr. Jane Goodall’s words about the book?
A．It is only intended for children.
B．It can promote family relationships.
C．It helps people get along better with nature.
D．It stimulates children’s imagination.
7．Which can best describe the animated video?
A．Expressive.
B．Relaxing.
C．Imprecise.
D．Boring.
8．What is the main purpose of the text?
A．To praise the work of Jane Goodall.
B．To show the talent of Tom Rivett-Carnac.
C．To discuss the urgency of environmental protection.
D．To introduce a children’s book and its related efforts.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Tigers once ranged across all of Asia, thriving in dense jungles, open grasslands, coastal swamps, and snow-
covered forests. But people live in these places, too, and they cut down trees for fire-wood and hunted deer and
wild hogs, which tigers eat. 1
Due to these reasons, the number of tigers significantly decreased. In 1973, tigers were protected by the U.S.
Endangered Species Act, making it illegal to buy or sell tigers or their parts in the United States. Other countries
signed a treaty to regulate this trade as well. 2 When scientists explored tiger habitat in Southeast Asia in
the early 2000s, they were shocked. “They found thousands of explosive traps,” Goodrich says. “If we didn’t take
dramatic action, tigers would disappear fast.”
In 2010, all 13 countries where tigers recently lived agreed to work together to save the species. 3
For example, India created 14 new reserves, and China created the world’s largest protected area for tigers. The
countries also worked with conservation groups to train rangers on how to patrol for poachers.
Organizations like the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) began working with people
living near tigers. 4 Conservationists also helped locals earn money from ecotourism. Phurba Lhendup,
tiger program coordinator for IUCN, says “it’s important to listen to people who live near tigers. If people don’t
benefit,” he says, “conservation efforts aren’t likely to work.”
5 An IUCN report found that the world’s tiger numbers are actually 40 percent higher than they
thought, with up to an estimated 4,485 tigers now in the wild. “I’m more hopeful than I’ve been in decades,”
Goodrich says.“Everybody loves tigers and now we are working together to save them.”
A．But these measures weren’t enough.
B．However, tigers’ habitat was still vanishing.
C．In 2022, conservationists got a good surprise.
D．Scientists performed many effective measures to protect the tigers.
E．People also killed tigers for sport and to use their parts as medicine.
F．They provided gas stoves so people didn’t need to cut down firewood.
G．To protect tiger habitat, many countries created new reserves for the animals.
