Dolphins
1. Humans have always been fascinated by dolphins and there has been a long history of association between the two. Over time this has turned into a rapidly expanding worldwide tourist activity—swimming with dolphins. The chance to see dolphins in the wild is often a lifetime dream for many people, but few consider the implications of actually swimming with these animals.
2. The “swim-with-dolphins” tourist industry is becoming more popular every year and tour operators are always on the lookout to give their tourist swimmers the best experience they can. After all, it can cost a large amount of money to have this kind of holiday experience. So tour operators try to place eager swimmers as near as possible to the dolphins by trying to predict where the dolphins will be. The swimmers usually enter the water from the back of a stationary boat and swim freely in the water.
3. Research has shown that while dolphins can move away if they do not want to interact with human swimmers, they do not like it at all if the swimmers slip into the water directly on top of them or if humans are in their path of travel. However, if swimmers enter the water to one side of them, the dolphins do not avoid the swimmers to the same extent. This possibly seems like less threatening behavior to them.
4. In all cases, the dolphins seem to have become more sensitized to the presence of the swimmers. For dolphins, swimming amongst or with humans is not necessarily a high priority. This research has shown that only 19% of any group of dolphins will participate in interaction. Young dolphins are the most likely to interact; they do seem curious about being with humans. It is believed that they see humans as “entertainment” and that the interaction is a new and unusual experience for them.
5. It is frequently asked whether “swim-with-dolphins” tourism should be discontinued. The advice is that dolphins should be given substantial periods of time throughout the day when they are not exposed to tourism. Permitted interactions should not be too intrusive to the dolphins since there could be mothers and calves present in dolphin groups. There should also be educational campaigns about the creatures and the likely threats to them. If not, in the long term there could be detrimental effects on the dolphins’ well-being which may not become evident until many years later.
6. It is not easy to explain to someone that they cannot fulfill their lifelong dreams because the dolphins are resting, or that a mother dolphin and calf are in the area. But if we are to enjoy these remarkable animals and not just use them for our entertainment, then we must carefully monitor the “swim-with-dolphins” industry worldwide.

答案与题解:
1.D 本段的第一句话就提到“同海豚游泳”这一旅游产业越来越受欢迎。
2.B 本段讲到如果游泳者从海豚的上方直接滑入水中或者是挡着它们的道了的话,海豚就会不喜欢。如果游泳者是从侧边靠近海豚,海豚就没那么抗拒。所以这段讲的是游泳者应该如何接近海豚。
3.E 本段讲的是有人在的时候海豚的反应。里面提到小海豚喜欢跟人类交流。
4.B 本段讨论了”同海豚游泳“这一旅游产业该不该继续,作者给出了建议。

6.C 第三段中提到海豚很不喜欢游泳者直接从它们的头上潜入水中。
7.B 通过第五段第三句Permitted interactions should not be too intrusive to the dolphins since there could be mothers and calves present in dolphin groups.可以知道When mother dolphins and calves are present的时候,人类还是别打扰了。
8.A 文章最后一段最有一句话But if we are to enjoy these remarkable animals and not just use them for our entertainment, then we must carefully monitor the “swim-with-dolphins”industry worldwide. 意思是说我们要监督swim-with-dolphins”这个行业,否则的话会对海豚带来伤害,所以答案选择A.
