And differences appeared frequently.More than a third of the times the birds39。 recorders detected radar signals, and therefore a boat, no such boat appeared in the official log —meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their Automatic Identification Systems—something the researchers say probably happens in illegal fishing operations.The work suggests birds could be an effective boatmonitoring tool—as long as illegal fishing operations don39。t target the birds. Fortunately, such a task would be difficult.“Around fishing vessels, you can get hundreds of birds at any one time that are all flying around. So it39。s not really possible to target a specific bird. And the birds with recorders on are not marked in any way. So it39。s difficult for fishermen to pick out a specific bird, said study author Samantha Patrick, a marine biologist at the University of Liverpool.Patrick39。s bigger concern is that albatrosses often get hooked on fishing lines. And though regulations have been established to protect against that happening—with success—illegal boats don39。t necessarily obey. So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations. But this system could mean that those illegal boats may have a tougher time flying under the radar.27. What behavior of albatrosses can be used to track illegal fishing boats according to scientists?A. Seeking snacks on a boat.B. Following a boat to catch food.C. Monitoring the location of the boats.D. Keeping an eye open for illegal activities.28. What39。s the purpose of data recorders attached to the backs of albatrosses?A. To carry a GPS. B. To record the birds39。 behavior.C. To help satellite transmit information. D. To detect radar signals from boats.29. Why do the fishing boats turn off their Automatic Identification Systems?A. They are probably fishing illegally.B. They needn39。t declare themselves.C. They don39。t want to emit radar signals.D. They want to avoid being followed by albatrosses.30. What is the best title for the text?A. Birds—Humans39。 FriendsB. Data Recorders—A Helper to AlbatrossesC. AIS—A System to Declare Locations of BoatsD.
