B
In the coastal city of Laguna in Brazil, there is a special fishing team. It is made up of fishermen and dolphins! They work together to catch fish called mullets.
Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, US, studied this partnership (伙伴关系). As he told Science News Explores, it started more than a century ago.
“The dolphins are really good at finding fish and driving them to the coast,” Cantor said. “The fishermen are really good at catching the fish.” Once they catch the fish in the nets(网), dolphins can move in and get some for themselves.
Cantor's study described how fishermen and dolphins give messages to each other when fishing. When dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they raise their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to cast(撒) nets. Fishermen will then cast the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance. Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand what the dolphins mean.
The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, these dolphins have 13% higher possibility to live than other dolphins.
Human-animal partnerships haven't been common throughout history. But they “give us an idea of how positive our human interactions (互动) can be with nature,” Cantor said.

解析
【分析】
本题为阅读理解题,需结合原文内容及图片信息逐一分析各题目:
19题:定位原文第一段,明确特殊捕鱼队的构成;20题:结合图片顺序与原文中捕鱼的流程(海豚找鱼→给信号→渔民撒网→网中收获)排序;21题:总结原文中渔民与海豚合作的结果(双方获益);22题:提炼全文核心主题。
【解析】
19题:根据原文第一段“In the coastal city of Laguna in Brazil, there is a special fishing team. It is made up of fishermen and dolphins!”可知,该捕鱼队的特别之处在于渔民与海豚的伙伴关系,对应选项C。A错误(不是仅由海豚组成);B不是特别的核心原因;D是开始时间,并非特别之处。
20题:结合图片与原文流程:图b是海豚在水中寻找鱼群,图a是海豚游到船边给渔民信号,图d是渔民撒网,图c是网中捕获鱼和海豚,因此顺序为b→a→d→c,对应选项D。
21题:原文提到“fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, these dolphins have 13% higher possibility to live than other dolphins”,说明人与动物合作实现双赢,对应选项B。A表述绝对;C偏离主旨;D并非核心内容。
22题:全文围绕渔民与海豚的特殊伙伴关系展开,对应选项C。A范围过大;B仅涉及部分内容;D未体现核心关系。
