American Black Ducks - by Sam Prentice, wildlife biologist
I work at a US university where my team and I are trying to learn more about water birds,
particularly one called the American black duck. And we’ve just started using an exciting piece of
equipment called a ‘night-vision scope’, which allows us to see the ducks in the dark!
We’re worried about black ducks mainly because their numbers have fallen hugely and we
don’t know whether there’s enough food on the east coast for these animals. There’s lots of
information about their daytime activities, but nothing about what they do at night because we
simply haven’t had the equipment. But this new ‘scope’ will produce really clear pictures, even on
moonless nights, so we’ll be able to find out more and make better decisions about looking after the
area where they live based on what we learn.
It’s very hard work. There four of us, each working six hours daily. We’ve studied ducks in
different locations, and I’ve had to take a boat to some sites and make notes on every duck I see. The
weather hasn’t helped – some nights are mild, but more often it’s wet. Oh, and it’s so quiet I’ve
needed lots of coffee to stop me from falling asleep! We’ve only missed one working day so far,
because the snow was too deep even for our special snow vehicles.
Still I like the challenge of it, especially compared to what the summer will bring – hours in a
laboratory, where we’ll look at our results together. It’ll be hard to be stuck inside- but it’s essential
to do this. And I wouldn’t change it for anything!
21. Why are the researchers worried about the black ducks?
A. because their population has decreased
B. because many of them fell and died
C. because things fell into them
D. because they ate dangerous food
22. Which statement is NOT TRUE?
A. Sam works with some people.
B. People don’t know much about what black ducks do at day time.
C. The ‘scope’ helps Sam’s team work better at night.
D. Sam works 6 hours a day.
23. What does the team have to do in the research?
A. look at the ducks in one place C. write things about the ducks down
B. walk to the ducks D. care for the weather
24. The work in bold “challenge” in paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to
A. interest C. defeat
B. defense D. difficulty
25. What does Sam say about working inside a lab over the summer?
A. He’s happy that he can avoid the hot weather.
B. He accepts that it’s a necessary part of his job.
C. He’s looking forward to studying his results
D. He’s happy that he will work with other people.
III. Read the cloze text and choose the best answer
