A study was carried ut as a cperatin prgram amng researchers at the universities f Turku (Finland), Sydney (Australia) and Crdba (Spain). Thse researchers used artificial nests (人工鸟巢) t test tw methds fr reducing the nest predatin (捕食) f endangered grund-nesting birds.
Predatr cntrl is a cmmn challenge in areas where many animals, such as grund-nesting birds, cannt bear the impact f the increased number f predatrs. Fr example, in areas that have fewer tp predatrs, the red fx ppulatin can be verly large fr the areas they live in. Besides, predatr cntrl by hunting can be hard and cannt be carried ut everywhere r at any time, fr example, during the birds’ nesting seasn. In such cases, the fxes can cause a decline in the ppulatins f sme birds.
In the first experimental sites, the researchers spread waterfwl’s smell in wetland areas. With the chemical camuflage (伪装), the researchers studied whether predatrs might fail t find the artificial bird nests. In ther areas, the researchers used eggs giving ff an unpleasant smell which culd cause discmfrt with the gal f making predatrs believe that the bird eggs were nt eatable. The researchers als used cntrl sites which they visited as frequently as the experimental sites t stp predatrs frm making the right chices.
The study shwed that the chemical camuflage especially decreased the predatin f the artificial bird nests by red fxes. “Unlike ther predatrs, red fxes were mre easily deceived int nt eating bird eggs than sme ther predatrs. We fund red fxes might rely mre n their sense f smell t find bird nests. The chemical smells culd make mst f them think the fd they fund culd nt be eaten,” explains Senir Researcher Vesa Selnen frm the University f Turku.
“Our results are interesting as they shw that these appraches culd reduce the nest predatin f endangered birds. We’re wndering whether the results we bserved with the artificial nests can als lead t the prtectin f real bird nests and a larger number f yung birds,” says Prfessr Tni Laaksnen frm the University f Turku.
12. What des the authr want t shw by mentining predatr cntrl?
A The number f red fxes is ut f cntrl.
B. The living areas f grund-nesting birds are limited.
C. Predatr cntrl and hunting shuld be applied tgether.
D. New slutins fr fighting predatin are necessary.
13. What effect did the researchers intend t prduce when spreading the bird smell?
A. Driving away the smart predatrs.
B. Causing the bird eggs t be unsuitable fr eating.
C. Making the wetland areas attractive t the predatrs.
D. Cnfusing the predatrs abut the lcatin f nests.
14. What des the underlined wrd “deceived” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Frced.B. Raised.C. Cheated.D. Frightened.
15. What will the researchers prbably d next?
A. Put their research methds int practice.
B. Search fr new sites t cntinue the experiments.
C. Perfect their methds t study birds’ nesting behavir.
D. Develp mre methds f designing artificial nests.

A study was carried ut as a cperatin prgram amng researchers at the universities f Turku (Finland), Sydney (Australia) and Crdba (Spain). Thse researchers used artificial nests (人工鸟巢) t test tw methds fr reducing the nest predatin (捕食) f endangered grund-nesting birds.
Predatr cntrl is a cmmn challenge in areas where many animals, such as grund-nesting birds, cannt bear the impact f the increased number f predatrs. Fr example, in areas that have fewer tp predatrs, the red fx ppulatin can be verly large fr the areas they live in. Besides, predatr cntrl by hunting can be hard and cannt be carried ut everywhere r at any time, fr example, during the birds’ nesting seasn. In such cases, the fxes can cause a decline in the ppulatins f sme birds.
In the first experimental sites, the researchers spread waterfwl’s smell in wetland areas. With the chemical camuflage (伪装), the researchers studied whether predatrs might fail t find the artificial bird nests. In ther areas, the researchers used eggs giving ff an unpleasant smell which culd cause discmfrt with the gal f making predatrs believe that the bird eggs were nt eatable. The researchers als used cntrl sites which they visited as frequently as the experimental sites t stp predatrs frm making the right chices.
The study shwed that the chemical camuflage especially decreased the predatin f the artificial bird nests by red fxes. “Unlike ther predatrs, red fxes were mre easily deceived int nt eating bird eggs than sme ther predatrs. We fund red fxes might rely mre n their sense f smell t find bird nests. The chemical smells culd make mst f them think the fd they fund culd nt be eaten,” explains Senir Researcher Vesa Selnen frm the University f Turku.
“Our results are interesting as they shw that these appraches culd reduce the nest predatin f endangered birds. We’re wndering whether the results we bserved with the artificial nests can als lead t the prtectin f real bird nests and a larger number f yung birds,” says Prfessr Tni Laaksnen frm the University f Turku.
12. What des the authr want t shw by mentining predatr cntrl?
A The number f red fxes is ut f cntrl.
B. The living areas f grund-nesting birds are limited.
C. Predatr cntrl and hunting shuld be applied tgether.
D. New slutins fr fighting predatin are necessary.
13. What effect did the researchers intend t prduce when spreading the bird smell?
A. Driving away the smart predatrs.
B. Causing the bird eggs t be unsuitable fr eating.
C. Making the wetland areas attractive t the predatrs.
D. Cnfusing the predatrs abut the lcatin f nests.
14. What des the underlined wrd “deceived” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Frced.B. Raised.C. Cheated.D. Frightened.
15. What will the researchers prbably d next?
A. Put their research methds int practice.
B. Search fr new sites t cntinue the experiments.
C. Perfect their methds t study birds’ nesting behavir.
D. Develp mre methds f designing artificial nests.
