A
The great success of Finding Dory is being met with mixed feelings by experts. That's because though the movie can draw attention to our weak coral reefs (珊瑚礁) that need protection, it may lead to further damage to life at sea.
After the movie Finding Nemo came out in 2003, the clownfish (小丑鱼) became popular with every kid in America. As a result, the number of clownfish in the wild greatly dropped. Blue tangs (蓝吊鱼) also became popular pets because of the movie. Sadly, most blue tangs are caught with the help of cyanide (氰化物)．
Cyanide works on the fish, allowing them to be easily caught and sold to pet stores. Cyanide is harmful to humans. It also harms coral and other life at sea. Even the fish that are caught by using cyanide are harmed. Many end up dying within

months of being brought to the store.
It is not allowed to sell fish that have been caught using cyanide in the US. However, a 2008 study discovered that up to 90% of the 11 million pet fish brought into the country each year have been caught using this harmful fishing method. More recently, two researchers Craig Downs and Rene Umberger did a study to test if the fish sold in US pet stores had been harmed by cyanide. They found that of the 100 fish bought from stores in California, Hawaii, Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia, over half, including the blue tangs, had cyanide in their body.
To help people make better decisions when looking for fish for their kids, the researchers made a free mobile app, called Tank Watch－the app helps people to know whether a fish has been caught using illegal fishing methods.
The World Wildlife Foundation is asking fans of the movie not to “Find” Dory, but to “Protect” the beautiful fish! This means not rushing out and buying a blue tang after watching the film. As Ellen Degeneres, voice actress for Dory, says, the movie is not about “Finding” Dory, but about “putting it back to the ocean”．
【语篇解读】 很多人喜欢把海里的鱼当宠物养，这使得一些人用化学药物来捕鱼，给海洋生态系统造成了威胁。
1．What makes experts worried after the movie Finding Dory came out? A．That people may not like it. B．That the clownfish will disappear.
C．That people may rush out to buy a“Dory”． D．That coral reefs may not draw any attention.

答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第四段的“...up to 90% of the 11 million pet fish... have been caught using this harmful fishing method.”以及“of the 100 fish bought from stores... over half... had cyanide in their body.”可知，这两个研究表明美国的很多宠物鱼都是用氰化物捕捉到的。

Moose (驼鹿), which weigh up to 700 kilograms, can be dangerous to people. They can cause deadly traffic accidents and also can harm people and other animals by stepping on them. Wildlife biologists in the US are trying to get a correct count of this kind of big animals.
The counting is being done in Alaska's largest city, Anchorage. Recently, many moose

In the past, officials used low-flying airplanes to watch for moose on the ground to get their count. But rules from the city's airport now prevent such flights, so Alaska's Department of Fish and Game is experimenting with a new method for counting the city's moose. The researchers are trying to collect genetic material called DNA from moose. They say this will allow them to get a more accurate (精确的) result without having to catch them.
Biologists sought help from the public during their three-day project last month. They asked people to call or send text messages to report when they saw a moose. Teams of moose hunters then quickly drove to the areas. The teams shot the moose with special
