1．C． 細(xì)節(jié)題。 利用問(wèn)題句中的細(xì)節(jié)信息詞bottle-nose dolphins， sperm whales, eating habits和特征詞SDWF（香農(nóng)海豚與野生動(dòng)物基金會(huì)） scientists共同作為答案線索，在文章中查找答案相關(guān)句：
Irish scientists monitoring dolphins living in a river estuary in the southwest of the country believe they may have developed a unique dialect to communicate with each other.
The Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Foundation (SDWF)1 has been studying （一直在研究）a group of（一組） up to （多達(dá)，直到）120 bottle-nose dolphins （寬吻海豚）in the River Shannon using vocalisations （發(fā)聲）collected on a computer （被收集在計(jì)算機(jī)里）in a cowshed （牛棚） near the River Shannon.
As part of a research project, student Ronan Hickey digitised and analysed a total of 1,882 whistles from the Irish dolphins and those4 from the Welsh dolphins on a computer and separated them into six fundamental whistle types and 32 different categories5. Of the categories, he found most6 were used by both sets of dolphins7 -- but eight were only heard from the Irish dolphins.
"We are building up a catalogue of the different whistle types they use and trying to associate them with behaviour like foraging, resting, socialising and the communications of groups with calves," project leader Simon Berrow said. "Essentially we are building up what is like a dictionary of words they use or sounds they make."
Berrow, a marine biologist, said the dolphins' clicks are used to find their way around and locate prey. The whistles are communications. "They do a whole range of other sounds like barks, groans and a kind of gunshot," he said. "The gunshot（射擊， ） is an intense（強(qiáng)烈的） pulse of sound（脈沖聲）. Sperm whales use it to stun（使暈倒） their prey（獵物）.
"When I first heard（聽到） it I was surprised （感到吃驚）as I thought （認(rèn)為）sperm whales （巨頭鯨）were the only species（物種） who used it. We can speculate（推測(cè)） the dolphins（海豚） are using it for the same reason （為了與...同樣的原因）as the sperm whales(巨頭鯨)," Berrow said.
References8 in local legend indicate there have been dolphins in the Shannon estuary for generations and they may even have been resident there as far back as the 6th century9.
They are regularly seen by passengers on the Shannon ferry and an estimated 25,000 tourists every year take special sightseeing tours on local boats to visit them.
與問(wèn)題句可能相關(guān)的語(yǔ)句中都沒(méi)有涉及到問(wèn)題句的內(nèi)容， 因此判斷問(wèn)題句的內(nèi)容在文章中沒(méi)有被提到。實(shí)際上通過(guò)單詞查找， 我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)細(xì)節(jié)信息eating habit(飲食習(xí)慣)這個(gè)短語(yǔ)， 連同它的一些詞義相關(guān)詞，如：eat, food, feed on(以...為食)在文章中根本就沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)， 只要問(wèn)題句中有一部分信息在文章中沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)， 我們就需要把這個(gè)問(wèn)題句的內(nèi)容判斷為“沒(méi)有被提到”
