Opposite the college is the beautiful Botanic Garden founded in 1621. Merton College Founded in 1264, Merton has the oldest medieval library in

18、s a huge demand for shark fins (鳍) in Asian countries. As a result, many sharks are caught and killed. According to reports, sharks are being killed at an alarming rate of up to 273 million worldwide per year.Some experts predict that if the killing continues at the current rate many shark species w
19、ill be lost forever. It can be very dangerous. Sharks are very important and they should be protected.In a study of the east coast of the United States, 11 species of sharks were eliminated from their range. Of the 14 species of ocean life that those sharks used to eat, the populations of 12 explode
20、d and caused great damage to the ecosystem. For example, the cownose ray (鳐) population was no longer kept under control by sharks and so grew out of control. As a result, the rays destroyed the population of bay scallops (扇贝), their favorite food. The scallop fishery, which had been in good conditi
21、on for over 100 years, was wiped out. Also, the removal of the scallops most likely had an effect on water quality as they were no longer there to perform their function of cleaning the water.Sharks play a vital role in the oceans in a way that the average fish does not. Most sharks play a critical
22、role in ocean ecosystems. Directly or indirectly they regulate the natural balance of these ecosystems.

27、ow ocean life affects the ecosystem.CResearchers are placing robotic dogs（机器狗）in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-a
28、ssisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old peoples depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated（应急的）,”Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote that, especially for
29、 those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary
30、to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady, “When Im watching TV, hell stay in my ar
31、ms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercis
32、e and feeding concerns.“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says，“But its amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. T
33、hey will record their masters blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older peoples minds.”29Whats the purpose of Beck and Edwards study?A. To understand human-animal relationship.B. To find the causes of old peoples loneliness.C. To
34、 make lonely old peoples life better.D. To promote the animal-assisted research.30In the research, the old people are asked to .
