Why does the woman say she has mixed feeling?
M: Hi, Claire. How does it feel to be back on campus?
W: Hi, Gee. Well, to tell you the truth, I have mixed feelings.
M: Oh, why?
W: I have this great summer job that I really hated to leave I worked at the wild life research center in Maryland.
M: That makes sense for a genetic major. What did you do? Clean the cages?
W: This is a wild life center, not a zoo. This place breeds endangered species and tries to prepare them for life in the wild.
M: You mean the endangered species like the tiger and the panda?
W: Well, endangered species, yes. But not tigers or pandas. I work with whooping cranes and sandhill cranes. I taught the baby crane how to eat and drink, and I help the vets to give medical check-ups.
M: I can see it was hard to leave that job. But how did you teach a bird how to eat and drink?
W: We covered ourselves up with cloth and used puppets made out of stuffed crones to show the baby chicks what to do. Then the chicks copied what the puppets did.
M: Cloth? Puppets? Sounds like fun.
W: It was. The cloth and puppets are the key tools. We all covered ourselves up, the scientists, the vets, the junior staff, everybody. You see, baby cranes will become attached to their caretakers.
M: So if the caretaker is a person, the crane will stay in places where people are.
W: Yeah. And their chances for survival aren’t very good. But by covering ourselves and using cloth and puppets the chicks are more likely to seek out other birds rather than people. And their transition to the wild has a better chance of being successful.
M: A chance of being successful? Hasn’t this been done before?
W: It’s been done with sandhill cranes and everyone is optimistic about its work with whooping cranes too.
M: If this works, it should increase the number of cranes in the wild.
W: Yeah. It’s exciting, isn’t it?
选项
A、He once had a job in a zoo.
B、They’re familiar examples of endangered species.
C、He’s interested in the genetics of mammals.
D、They also become attached to humans.
答案
B
解析
本题需要考生听懂原文,结合常识、表达方式来作答。首先,the tiger and the panda是男士用来作为濒危物种的例子的:其次,从思维方式来说,如果听到某一个词就想起一种具体物体,那么这种物体一定是这个词最常见的例子或代表;再次,从常识来说,老虎和大熊猫就是两种我们常常提及的濒危物种。由此可推知男士提及这两种动物的原因就是:它们是我们最熟知的濒危物种的例子。
