Question

【题目】Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the nine o’clock Mystery North American. Black bears are shy animals. They are fearful by nature, and will usually run away if they see or hear people. Because of this , it can be difficult for scientists to learn about these animals.

In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, USA, catch bears and use drugs to help them go to sleep. Researchers then work out the size and the weight of the bear, take blood to test for diseases, remove a tooth and take it to the lab to find out its age. From these studies, researchers want to find out how many bears live in New Jersey, how long they live, and how many babies they produce.

83 But in Minnesota(明尼苏达州), USA, researchers study bears that are completely awake. The bears know the researchers’ voices and they are not afraid of the research team. With the help of a few grapes to keep the bears busy, researchers can touch them to check their hearts, look at their teeth, and do other jobs. Researchers can also walk or sit with bears for hours and make videos to learn about their everyday lives.

In both places, the main purpose is the same—to make sure there is a healthy population of black bears. 84 But the research methods and the kinds of information that researchers are able to collect are quite different.

【解析】

短文大意：本文是一篇演讲稿，演讲者介绍了针对黑熊的研究情况，对黑熊的健康给予关注。

【1】题意：文章中提到了多少种方法？考查细节理解题。根据In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, USA, catch bears and use drugs to help them go to sleep.和But in Minnesota(明尼苏达州), USA, researchers study bears that are completely awake. 可知共提到两种方法，故填2./Two。

【2】题意：人们为什么研究黑熊？考查细节理解题。根据In both places, the main purpose is the same—to make sure there is a healthy population of black bears. 可知研究黑熊是为了确保黑熊的数量健康增长。故填To make sure there is a healthy population of black bears.

【3】But但是，表转折；in Minnesota, USA,在美国的明尼苏达州；researchers研究者；study bears研究黑熊；that are completely awake是定语从句，修饰先行词bears，意思是“完全清醒的黑熊”。根据句意结构，故填：但是，在美国明尼苏达州，研究人员研究的（黑）熊是完全清醒的。

【4】the research methods研究方法；that researchers are able to collect是定语从句，修饰先行词information，意思是“研究人员能够收集到的信息”；are quite different完全不同的。根据句意结构，故填：但是，研究的方法和研究人员能够收集到的信息是完全不同的。

【5】题意：考查标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知，主要介绍的是针对黑熊的研究情况，因此最好的题目是“黑熊的研究”。故填Studying of black bear。
