[2025 金华期末]Think about walking in a quiet place in Australia. Suddenly, you hear a strange “Ooom” sound. This sound may come from a bird in great danger—the plains-wanderer（领鹑）! Scientists in Australia use AI to find and protect these birds.
These birds are tiny, only about 15 cm in length. They are also very careful about their home. They live in places with grass, but the grass can't be too much or too little. For this reason, scientists call them the “Goldilocks” of animals because they need a place that is just right.
Long ago, many of these birds lived in the east of Australia. Now, there are only 250 to 1,000 of the birds left in the wild. They are not good at flying. When they are afraid, they don't fly away, but they hide or run.
To protect these birds, scientists first need to know where they are. They know female plains-wanderers make the “Ooom” sound. They try to catch these sounds. However, it is difficult for humans to recognise all of them, so the team uses AI to help.
The AI system finds the bird's sound in two places. One scientist says it feels like “finding gold”. It is the first time in over 30 years that people have found these birds in the west of Melbourne!
7. How do the scientists find the birds?
A. By walking in a quiet place.
B. By using AI.
C. By looking for them everywhere.
D. By taking many photos of their home.
8. What does the word “tiny” probably mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Small.
B. Quiet.
C. Strong.
D. Fast.
9. What do these birds do when they feel afraid?
A. They make a loud sound.
B. They try to fly away quickly.
C. They hide somewhere or run away.
D. They ask mother birds for help.
