1．C． 細(xì)節(jié)題。 利用問題句中的細(xì)節(jié)信息詞bottle-nose dolphins， sperm whales, eating habits和特征詞SDWF（香農(nóng)海豚與野生動(dòng)物基金會(huì)） scientists共同作為答案線索，在文章中查找答案相關(guān)句：
Irish scientists monitoring dolphins living in a river estuary in the southwest of the country believe they may have developed a unique dialect to communicate with each other.
The Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Foundation (SDWF)1 has been studying （一直在研究）a group of（一組） up to （多達(dá)，直到）120 bottle-nose dolphins （寬吻海豚）in the River Shannon using vocalisations （發(fā)聲）collected on a computer （被收集在計(jì)算機(jī)里）in a cowshed （牛棚） near the River Shannon.
As part of a research project, student Ronan Hickey digitised and analysed a total of 1,882 whistles from the Irish dolphins and those4 from the Welsh dolphins on a computer and separated them into six fundamental whistle types and 32 different categories5. Of the categories, he found most6 were used by both sets of dolphins7 -- but eight were only heard from the Irish dolphins.
"We are building up a catalogue of the different whistle types they use and trying to associate them with behaviour like foraging, resting, socialising and the communications of groups with calves," project leader Simon Berrow said. "Essentially we are building up what is like a dictionary of words they use or sounds they make."
Berrow, a marine biologist, said the dolphins' clicks are used to find their way around and locate prey. The whistles are communications. "They do a whole range of other sounds like barks, groans and a kind of gunshot," he said. "The gunshot（射擊， 槍響） is an intense（強(qiáng)烈的） pulse of sound（脈沖聲）. Sperm whales use it to stun（使暈倒） their prey（獵物）.
"When I first heard（聽到） it I was surprised （感到吃驚）as I thought （認(rèn)為）sperm whales （巨頭鯨）were the only species（物種） who used it. We can speculate（推測） the dolphins（海豚） are using it for the same reason （為了與...同樣的原因）as the sperm whales(巨頭鯨)," Berrow said.
References8 in local legend indicate there have been dolphins in the Shannon estuary for generations and they may even have been resident there as far back as the 6th century9.
They are regularly seen by passengers on the Shannon ferry and an estimated 25,000 tourists every year take special sightseeing tours on local boats to visit them.
與問題句可能相關(guān)的語句中都沒有涉及到問題句的內(nèi)容， 因此判斷問題句的內(nèi)容在文章中沒有被提到。
2. Ronan Hickey analyzed（分析） almost（差不多， 幾乎） 2000 different（不同的） dialects（語言） of the bottle-nose dolphins（寬吻海豚）.
A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned考試大論壇
2. B。 細(xì)節(jié)題。利用問題句中的特征詞Ronan Hickey（人名）和2000 different（不同的） dialects， 及細(xì)節(jié)信息詞bottle-nose dolphins共同作為答案線索， 在文章中查找答案相關(guān)句：
Irish scientists monitoring dolphins living in a river estuary in the southwest of the country believe they may have developed a unique dialect to communicate with each other.
The Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Foundation (SDWF)1 has been studying a group of up to 120 bottle-nose dolphins in the River Shannon2 using vocalisations collected on a computer in a cow shed3 near the River Shannon.
As part of （部分的）a research（研究） project（計(jì)劃）, student Ronan Hickey digitised （使數(shù)字化）and analyzed（分析） a total（總數(shù)） of 1,882 （與almost 2000 呼應(yīng)）whistles（鳴叫聲， 口哨聲， 汽笛聲） from the Irish（愛爾蘭） dolphins and those from the Welsh（威爾士的） dolphins on a computer and separated them into（把...分成...） six fundamental whistle types (基本鳴叫類型) and 32 different（不同的） categories(種類) . Of the categories, he found most6 were used by both sets of dolphins7 -- but eight were only heard from the Irish dolphins.
題句的意思是： Ronan Hickey 分析了愛爾蘭海豚發(fā)出的近2000種不同的方言。這句話與短文中敘述的意思不符。第三段第一句說： Ronan Hickey 分析了愛爾蘭海豚和威爾士海豚(不僅僅寬吻海豚)發(fā)出的近2000種不同的嘯聲(不是方言)。所以，本題選項(xiàng) B 是答案
