14.________ is no possibility ________ Bob can win the first prize in the match.

A.There; that       B.It; that

Ⅱ.阅读理解

Jane Goodall was born on April 3,1934，in London，England.On her second birthday，Jane's father bought her a life­like toy chimpanzee named Jubilee.Even now，Jubilee is part of Jane's life.

Jane got attracted by animals at an early age，and she dreamed of going to Africa to study and live with animals.When she was 23 years old，Jane traveled to Kenya to visit a childhood friend.While there，she was introduced to Dr.Louis Leakey，a renowned paleontologist and anthropologist.She studied with Dr.Leaky for a year，and she shocked him with her endless knowledge of animals and their behavior.Dr.Leakey asked Jane to study the chimpanzees of the Gombe Stream Reserve in Africa.Though she had no scientific training in animal study，Dr.Leakey realized that she had an insatiable curiosity about the animal world，a strong determination to find answers，and the necessary patience to await their discovery.She would spend the next 30 years in Gombe learning the ecology (生态学) of wild chimpanzees.

Jane challenged scientific protocol (科学实验计划) by giving the chimps names instead of assigning them numbers.She was the first to discover the concept of “tool use” amongst animals，when she witnessed the chimpanzees using straws to pull termites from the nest.

Nowadays，Dr.Goodall spends almost 300 days a year lecturing，teaching and encouraging young people to take informed and compassionate action to improve the environment of all living creatures great and small.You can visit her website at www.janegoodall.com to learn more about the mission of the Jane Goodall Institute and what steps you can take to help chimpanzees.
