Biologists in Alaska are counting walruses (
海象
) in the Arctic
Ocean. The aim: to decide whether the walrus is an endangered species
(
物种
).
In 1990, biologists counted 201,039 walruses in the Arctic Ocean.
Now, over 20 years later, it seems there are fewer. After three years of counting,
the
US
Fish
and
Wildlife
Service
estimates
that
there
are
only
15,164
walruses
in
the
area. But, scientists say,

wildlife biologist with the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Endangered Species?
What's a possible reason for the lower walrus count? Brendan Cummings, a

spokesperson for
the Center for Biological Diversity (
多样性
), thinks many walruses are dying. He
believes global
warming is melting the ice in the waters between Alaska and Russia. That's the area
where most
walruses live. However, they can't live without ice.
But
other
scientists
aren't
so
sure
that
the
walruses
are
dying
out.
The
US
Fish
and Wildlife
Service
biologist
Doug
Bum
said,

realized
we
were
missing
a
lot
of
walrus
groups.

walrus
count
goes
on.
The
counting
hasn't
been
easy.
Scientists
sometimes
have
to
guess
the number
of walruses that are underwater.
US law requires scientists to count the walruses every three years. Then, if
the
mammals
(
哺乳动物
)
turn
out
to
be
an
endangered
species,
they
will
be
counted
every
year.
66. What's the purpose of counting walruses in the Arctic Ocean?.
A. To study the living habits of walruses.
B. To show the bad environment of the earth.
C. To see whether the walruses belong to the endangered animals.
D. To see whether the Arctic Ocean is suitable for people to live in.
67. What does the underlined word
A
．创造


B
．估算

C
．分析
D
．制造

68. According to the US law, scientists will count the walruses every year if they
are ___.
A. missing
B. endangered
C. sold out
D. under the water

69. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The counting of the walrus is easy.
B. Brendan Cummings is a biologist of the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
