The German shepherd runs off and noses around in the grass of Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau. “OK, Oakley,” the dog’s handler orders, “Find it!”
Oakley sniffs (嗅) until he comes to a bush, then stops, sits, and looks up at his handler. She bends to see what he has found: the waste of an endangered African wild dog. “Good dog!” she praises. The handler pulls a tennis ball from her pocket. Oakley jumps for his reward.
“He doesn’t actually want the waste,” says Aimee Hurt, a founding member of the U.S.-based group Working Dogs for Conservation. Hurt is in Kenya to train both Oakley and his handler. “He finds it so he can play with his ball. We’re the ones who want the waste.”
Detection dogs are sometimes taught to locate actual animals. Black-footed ferrets (雪貂) have been studied with their help. But more often the dogs learn to locate the waste of creatures such as bears, wolves and mountain lions.
What the dogs find provides scientists with data about a species. Scientists can use the DNA collected from animal waste to identify individuals, sex, and population sizes — all without ever seeing the animal itself. “It can take years to gather this kind of information if you have to trap animals,” Hurt explains.
Waste analysis might make a huge difference when wild species are accused of attacking domestic livestock (家畜). Hurt says, “A good detection dog will find the waste so we can see what the animal is actually eating.” This may help reduce problems between people and wildlife.
The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 2 refers to “_____”.
A. the German shepherd B. an African wild dog
C. Aimee Hurt D. the handler
Oakley is interested in finding the waste because _____.
A. he wants to study endangered animals
B. he can get a tennis ball to play with
C. he wants to eat it
D. he wants to play with it
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Trapping animals is not difficult.
B. People are making efforts to protect the environment.
C. Detection dogs attack domestic livestock frequently.
D. Collecting animal waste is a good way to gather information.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Detection dogs can help scientists study wildlife.
B. Detection dogs can defend wildlife.
C. Detection dogs can help the police catch the criminals.
D. Detection dogs can help local people defend domestic livestock.

The USA, New York—Whales and dolphins are facing increasing threats from climate change, according to a new report published by WWF and the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS).
The report "Whales in hot water?" draws attention to the growing impacts of climate change on whales.They range from changes in sea temperature and the freshening of the seawater because of the melting of ice and increased rainfalls, to a sea level rise, loss of icy polar habitats and the decline of krill populations in key areas.Krill, a tiny shrimp that is dependent on sea ice, is the main source of food for many of the great whales.
The speeding up of climate change adds greatly to trouble from other human activities, such as chemical and noise pollution, which kills some 1000 whales every day.
"Whales and dolphins have an ability to adapt to their changing environment," said Mark Simmonds, International Director of Science at WDCS."But the climate is now changing at such a fast pace that it is unclear to what extent whales and dolphins will be able to adjust."
Climate change impacts are currently greatest in the Arctic and the Antarctic.According to the report, cetaceans that rely on polar, icy waters for their home and food resources are likely to be greatly affected by the reduction of sea ice cover.
WDCS and WWF are urging governments to cut global production of C02 by at least 50 percent by the middle of this century.The latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change showed it was possible to stop global warming if the world's emissions start to decline before 2015.
Which of the following is the most important for whales and dolphins?
A.Rainfall B.Krill C.Sea ice cover D.High sea level
From the passage, we can learn that whales mainly feed on _____.
A.dolphins B.krill C.sea horses D.sharks
The underlined word "decline" in Paragraph 2 means _____.
A.increase B.control C.protection D.fall
In what place is climate change greatest?
A.The Pacific Ocean B.Asia.
C.Two polar areas. D.Equator.
Which of the following is not right according to the passage?
A.Climate change will lead to the changes in sea temperature.
B.Climate change will result in the freshening of the sea water.
C.Climate change will have a bad effect on human activities and whales.
D.Human beings will forever have no ability to stop global warming.
