Kenya is the first country to protect elephants by text messages. Mobile phone SIM cards are inserted(插入) in the collars of elephants. The cards will send a text message when the elephants wander too close to farms, allowing wildlife protectors to drive them off rather than shoot them.
Hungry elephants cause big problems for farmers and villagers in some parts of Kenya when they are searching for food. Two years ago the Kenyan wildlife service had to unwillingly shoot five elephants who continued to destroy crops.
In order to prevent such bad activities, the Elephants charity put a mobile phone SIM card on a huge bull elephant called Kimani. The conservationists(自然保护者) then set up a virtual(虚拟的) fence. Each time Kimani came near the fence, a text message was sent to farmers. So far he’s been stopped from going into the danger area fifteen times.
The project seems to be working successfully as Kimani hasn’t come near a farm for four months. A similar system has now been put into operation in another part of the country.
One of the biggest benefits of the project is that elephants seem to learn from one another, which can help a whole group change their habits.
The elephants can also be tracked using Google Earth software. This is also helping the protectors know where to use their resources to protect the animals well.

答案：
(答案→)D
解析：本文接省略非洲进行的一种保护大象的行为，在大象的身上植入一个芯片，来记录大象的行踪，进而保护农民的庄稼，也保护了大象不被枪杀。
【小题1】D 细节题。根据文章第二段第一句Hungry elephants cause big problems for farmers and villagers in some parts of Kenya when they are searching for food.可知当这些大象在饥饿的时候容易给农民带来损失。故D正确。
【小题2】C 推理题。根据本句Each time Kimani came near the fence, a text message was sent to farmers. So far he’s been stopped from going into the danger area fifteen times.可知这里的It就是指前句中的Kimani也就是大象。故C正确。
【小题3】B 细节题。根据文章倒数第三段The project seems to be working successfully as Kimani hasn’t come near a farm for four months. A similar system has now been put into operation in another part of the country. 可知这种做法很成功，故B项内容正确。
