26、You don’t need to be a whale expert to know that these large animals are most at home in the depths of the world’s many oceans. You may not be surprised then, that there were no survivors when 477 pilot whales became stuck on New Zealand’s remote Chatham Islands in October. It was one of the country’s largest mass stranding(搁浅)incidents.

Whereas in the past local authorities were able to quickly mobilize teams to try and rescue the whales, that ideal result was impossible this time. In a post published by the New Zealand whale protection non-profit organization Project Jonah, the group highlighted the many difficulties involved in any attempt at saving the whales. The remote Chatham Islands have a small population, meaning trained medics would be unable to get to the scene in time. In addition there was a risk posed by predators attracted to the beach which threatened both rescue teams and any other surviving whales.

Due to these factors, the whales that managed to survive for a while onshore had their dreams of returning to the ocean cut short. The decision was finally made to euthanize(安乐死)all of the remaining living whales on the beach. The general manager of Project Jonah. Daren Grover, described the outcome as ”heartbreaking“, according to the New York Post.

This event took place less than a month after 230 whales were found stranded on the Australian island of Tasmania. Fortunately, about 30 of those animals were able to be saved in time by local authorities, according to NPR.

The cause of these mass stranding events is not clear at the moment, although various theories have been raised. Grover said that there may be an issue with the animals’ echolocation ability-the sense that allows them to navigate(引航)through the water.

【1】Why couldn’t the local authorities rescue the whales this time, according to Project Jonah?

A．The number of stranded whales was too large.

B．The majority of whales were seriously injured.

C．The island was remote and dangerous for rescue teams

D．Trained medics in the area were all already busy.

【2】What’s Grover’s attitude toward the outcome of this stranding incident?

A．Angry.

B．Sad.

C．Doubtful.

D．Worried.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．About 30 whales were successfully saved this time.

B．This whale stranding incident could have been avoided.

C．Mass whale stranding incidents are a common event.

D．The cause of mass stranding events remains a mystery.

【4】Where are you most likely to read this article?

A．In a book review.

B．In a travel journal.

C．In a leaflet.

D．In a newspaper.

29、When Iain Douglas-Hamilton first started studying elephants in Africa,he had to invent ways of tracking the big animals. Over the course of 40 years in the field, the zoologist learned how to fly airplanes and use some high-tech means to follow their movements. He also learned how to get out of the way fast. "I learned how to climb trees very quickly," says Dr. Douglas-Hamilton, winner of the 2010 Indianapolis Prize.

As co-founder of Save the Elephants, he has also learned to be an activist, author, and politician. When Douglas-Hamilton left Tanzania, in East Africa, in 1970 to study at Oxford University in Britain, he left behind "an elephants' paradise (乐园)."But when he returned in 1972, the country's national parks looked more like a war zone. Douglas-Hamilton often found more dead elephants than living ones.

Dr. Douglas-Hamilton now lives in Kenya with his wife, Oria, who co-founded Save the Elephants. Together they have written two books, "Battle for the Elephants" and " Among the Elephants".

During the height of the ivory poaching (偷猎),Douglas-Hamilton flew in small planes, helping bring back elephants in Uganda from the edge of extinction. He's been repeatedly shot at and has survived plane crashes, floods and diseases. He fought for years for a worldwide ban on ivory sales, which finally took effect in 1989.

Douglas-Hamilton pioneered the scientific study of elephant social behavior. Among his discoveries: Elephants have a society controlled by female elephants and travel in families. In 2009， he worked to save a rare group of desert elephants in Mali from the worst dry weather in Mali's history. There have been other successes, particularly in East and Southern Africa. Douglas—Hamilton has proposed (提议) the idea of a mobile national park, where the protected land would follow elephants as they travel. No country has yet accepted it.

Even after decades of research, Douglas-Hamilton still enjoys the company of elephants. "I love to sit with them and be with them, "he says. "I have the greatest joy just to be with elephants at peace."

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Douglas-Hamilton's winning the Indianapolis Prize.

B. Douglas-Hamilton's devotion to protecting elephants.

C. Douglas-Hamilton's research into African animals.

D. Douglas-Hamilton's fight for a mobile national park.
