3．細節(jié)題。利用問題句中的特征詞32 categories， eight，Irish（愛爾蘭的） 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 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 （大多數(shù)）were used by （被...使用）both sets of （來自Irish和Welsh的）dolphins7 -- but eight were only heard （僅僅被聽見）from the Irish dolphins.
答案相關(guān)句與問題句的句意一致：32 種嘯聲中有 8 種是愛爾蘭海豚獨有的。所以答案是 A。
4. Whistles(口哨聲， 汽笛聲) could also be used to （也能被用來...）communicate(交流) between（在...之間） adult（成熟的， 成年的， 成年人） dolphins and baby（嬰兒） dolphins.

4．A． 主題題。這個問題句的內(nèi)容與文章主題（愛爾蘭海豚可能有獨特的語）內(nèi)容一致，因此該問題句很可能提供了正確的信息。 利用問題句中的細節(jié)信息詞Whistles， adult dolphins和baby dolphins作為答案線索， 在文章中查找答案相關(guān)句：

As part of （部分的）a research（研究） project（計劃）, student Ronan Hickey digitised （使數(shù)字化）and analyzed（分析） a total（總數(shù)） of 1,882 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(在...之中) the categories, he found（發(fā)現(xiàn)） most6 were used by （被...使用）both sets of dolphins（來自愛爾蘭的海豚和威爾士的海豚） -- but eight were only heard （僅僅被聽見）from the Irish dolphins.
"We are building up（正在建立）a catalogue（目錄） of the different（不同的） whistle types（類型） they use and trying to associate them with（把...和...聯(lián)系起來） behavior（行為） like（例如） foraging（覓食）, resting（休息）, socialising（社交） and the communications of groups with calves（牛犢）," project（項目） leader Simon Berrow said. "Essentially（實質(zhì)上， 實際上） we are building up what is like（象） a dictionary of words （字典）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 is an intense pulse of sound. Sperm whales use it to stun their prey.
"When I first heard it I was surprised as I thought sperm whales were the only species who used it. We can speculate the dolphins are using it for the same reason as the sperm whales," 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.
短文第四段第一句說科學家正在設(shè)法將嘯聲與海豚的行為特性聯(lián)系起來，由此可推斷出這也包括成年海豚與小海豚之間的聯(lián)絡(luò)這種行為。題句的意思與原句的意思相符，所以答案是 A
