11、 Read the following passages, and choose the correct answers. (30 points)Passage 1Conservationists (資源保護(hù)者 )may get a wrong number of the threatened animals such as elephants, say African and American researchers. The error takes place because of aweakness in the way they estimate animal number from

12、the piles of dung （糞便）thecreatures leave behind.The mistake could lead researchers to think that there are twice as many elephants asthere really are in some regions, according to Andrew Plumptre of the Wildlife ConservationSociety （WCS） in New York. Biologist （生物學(xué)家）Katy Payne of Cornell University

13、in Ithaca,New York, agrees.“We really need to know elephant number and the evidence （證據(jù)）thatwe have is quite indirect, “ says Payne.腐化）.Because it's quite difficult to decideCounting elephants from planes is impossible in the vast rainforests of Central Africa, so researchers often estimate elep

14、hant number by counting dung piles in a given area. They also need to know the rate at which dung decays （ these rates, however, researchers counting elephants in one region are likely to rely on standard decay rates set up elsewhere.But researchers at the WCS have found that these decay rates diffe

15、r from region to region depending on the weather and environment. Using the wrong number can mislead the census （ 統(tǒng)計(jì)），says Plumptre.He and his colleague Anthony Chifu Nchanji studied decaying elephant dung in the forests of Banyang Wildlife Sanctuary （ 避難所）in southeast Cameroon. They found that the

16、dung decayed between 55 and 65 percent more slowly than dung in the rainforests of neighboring Gabon. If researchers use decay rates from Gabon to count elephants in Cameroon, they would probably find more elephants than there are actually around.This could mean estimates in Cameroon are at least tw

17、ice as high as those got from decay rates calculated locally, says Plumtre. He says that similar problems may also exist in other animal census studies that rely on indirect evidence.26.The word “threatened ” (Line 1, Para. 1) could be best replaced by.A. endangeredB. frightenedC. spoiledD. angered2

18、7.Why do researchers count elephants in an area by counting dung piles?A. Because elephants are difficult to catch.B. Because it is not possible to count elephants from a plane.C. Because it is impossible to follow the track of elephants.D. Because they think dung piles are most reliable for countin

Suppose the number ofelephants got in Cameroo

20、n is 1000 by using the decay rates set up in Gabon, then the actual number maybe about.A.500B. 2000C.400D.250030. Which of the following is not a useful factor in estimating elephant number in one region?A. Dung piles number.B. Rates ofdung decaying.C. Climate and environment.D. Wildlife sanctuary.I
