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.

答案與題解：

1.D 本段的第一句話就提到“同海豚游泳”這一旅游產業越來越受歡迎。

2.B 本段講到如果游泳者從海豚的上方直接滑入水中或者是擋著它們的道了的話，海豚就會不喜歡。如果游泳者是從側邊靠近海豚，海豚就沒那么抗拒。所以這段講的是游泳者應該如何接近海豚。

3.E 本段講的是有人在的時候海豚的反應。里面提到小海豚喜歡跟人類交流。

4.B 本段討論了”同海豚游泳“這一旅游產業該不該繼續，作者給出了建議。

5.E 第三段第一句話提到如果海豚不想跟游泳者打交道，它們會游走。

6.C 第三段中提到海豚很不喜歡游泳者直接從它們的頭上潛入水中。

7.B 通過第五段第三句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的時候，人類還是別打擾了。

8.A 文章最后一段最有一句話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. 意思是說我們要監督swim-with-dolphins”這個行業，否則的話會對海豚帶來傷害，所以答案選擇A.
