A new App has been used in South Africa to benefit (有助于)the relationship between wildlife and humans.
Roadwatch, created by the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT),is designed to let drivers record any roadkill they see on the country's highways.
It may seem like a strange idea, but EWT says that it could become the perfect platform for receiving important information. Information on where endangered species (物种)are living and the danger that they are under from traffic can help to inform decisions on conservation of matters (物质守恒)in the future.
People can use the App through Facebook, WhatsApp, SMS and Linkedin to report the species, location, time and date of the creature that has been seen on the road.
Wendy Collinson field officer at EWT suggested that it could lead to more people taking care on the roads and paying more attention to animals that may be trying to cross the roads. One of the biggest problems is with reptiles (爬行动物)and snakes, which she believes people hit on purpose, as they are generally seen as scary. However, they are important to the health of ecosystems, just as all creatures are and also need to be protected.
Emily Taylor from EWT said, “Roadkill simply hasn't been studied here. The road ecology and how many endangered species are being killed, is something we need to know more about. We want people to report as much as possible.”
There have been some other Apps to use in relation to wildlife spotting in South Africa, but most of them are about animals that have not been knocked down, including those helping to collect information of where certain species have been seen, such as in parks.
1.Which is WRONG about the new App according to the passage?
A. Helping drivers record roadkill they see on the road.
B. Helping to collect information about animals in parks.
C. Benefiting the relationship between wildlife and humans.
D. Reporting the species, location, time and date of the animal.
2.Wendy Collinson thought using the new App could ______.
A. protect drivers from being bitten by snakes
B. make every driver a future environmentalist
C. teach people about the importance of protecting animals
D. make drivers look out for animals trying to cross the road
3.According to Wendy Collinson, people hit reptiles and snakes on purpose because ______.
A. they need no protection B. people kill them for food
C. they are born to be scary D. researchers study with them
4.The present situation about roadkill in South Africa is ______.
A. not enough attention has been paid to roadkill
B. EWT has done necessary research on roadkill
C. how many animals are being killed on the road is clear
D. injured animals are receiving proper treatment at EWT
