M: So, what exactly are you doing to protect the elephants here?
W: Well, we have managed to raise a lot of money for this project. A lot of it is being used to compensate farmers for the damage that elephants do to their crops.
M: How does that protect the elephants?
W: Since the elephants cause damage to the crops, farmers are often tempted to go out and kill the elephants.
M: I see. So, the farmers don’t have a real problem with the elephants until the elephants start eating the crops. But why do the elephants do that?
W: Well, there aren’t enough trees to provide them with food on the land that has been re served for them.
M: Mm. But if you successfully protect the elephants, their numbers will grow and they will need more food. That means that they’ll need more land.
W: That’s true, but we’ve solved that problem too. What we do is move some elephants to reservations where there are relatively few.
M: So that’s where you spend another large proportion of the money you raise.
W: Actually, it isn’t very expensive because we share the cost with the people who run the other reservations.
M: I see. How do you decide which elephants to move?
W: We use two criteria. The first is that we maintain the genetic diversity of the elephant herd. The second is that we transport the more aggressive members of the herd, which results in us spending less money compensating farmers.
M: Are there any plans to expand the reservation?
W: We have allocated some money to land purchases, but such purchases could have a detrimental effect on the local human population, so we rarely do it.
M: What kinds ’of research are you doing on the elephants here?
W: We’re mainly studying the way that elephants interact with each other within a herd.
M: I see. Well, thanks very much for your time.
W: My pleasure.
选项
A、Maintaining genetic diversity in herds.
B、A lack of food for elephants on the reservation.
C、Some elephants don’t like each other.
D、The elephants are destroying crops.
答案
C
解析
此题考查听细节的能力。在做此题时,考生应该抓住The first is that we maintain the genetic diversity of the elephant herd.,这样,A选项一定是转移大象的原因之一。如果考生抓住there aren’t enough trees to provide them with food on the land that has been reserved for them,就不难判断 B选项内容也是原因之一。如果考生抓住了A lot of it is being used to compensate farmers for the damage that elephants do to their crops.,就能断定D选项内容也是正确的。而C选项内容在对话中并没有提到,因此,C为正确答案。
