Humans often talk to animals, but animals have never been able to talk with humans—until now. With the help of artificial intelligence(AI), a museum of animals allows visitors to have conversations with several animals, including some animals that have died out. AI is the technology that can learn from experience and perform tasks that require human intelligence.
Since 15th October, 2024, visitors have been able to use their mobile phones to scan(扫描) special codes(码) next to 13 animal exhibits(展览品) at the Museum of Zoology in Cambridge, England. After that, visitors can have conversations with the animals through their phones.
People can talk to animals, such as a whale, a giraffe and a red panda. Among the animals that people can talk to, some have died out, such as a bird called the dodo. Visitors can find out more about these animals, such as where they came from, their living conditions and how they were collected in the museum. Besides, they can know the animals' habits. In turn, the chats can show what visitors really want to know when they look at the exhibits, which helps workers to improve the museum.
Jack Ashby, a director working in the museum, said they also wondered what influence the conversations would have on people. “We want to see whether chatting with the animals will change people's opinions about them. We hope that more people can take action to protect animals, especially the animals that are at risk of dying out.”
As we all know, there were many kinds of animals in the past. But as society develops, the number of animals is getting smaller, and some animals have died out. Although this situation is often mentioned, people don't care much about it. Maybe talking to animals can help a lot.

【分析】
做这类英语阅读理解题，需先根据题干关键词定位原文对应内容，再逐一比对选项排除错误答案，最终确定正确选项。具体步骤：1. 定位题干信息到原文对应段落；2. 提取原文关键细节；3. 对比选项与原文内容，排除不符合的选项，选出匹配项。
【解析】
26题：定位原文第一段第二句“With the help of artificial intelligence(AI), a museum of animals allows visitors to have conversations with several animals”，可知AI的作用是帮助游客与多种动物对话。A选项“学习真实动物说话”原文未提及；C选项“理解动物语言”无依据；D选项是AI的定义（第一段最后一句），并非博物馆中AI的作用，故排除A、C、D，选B。
27题：定位原文第三段，原文明确提到游客可了解的信息：where they came from（对应③birthplaces）、their living conditions（④）、how they were collected in the museum（⑤）、animals' habits（①），未提及②enemies，因此正确组合为①③④⑤，选C。
28题：定位原文第四段最后一句“We hope that more people can take action to protect animals, especially the animals that are at risk of dying out”，可知博物馆期望人们采取行动保护动物，排除B（改变对博物馆的看法）、C（关注灭绝动物）、D（给博物馆提建议），选A。
29题：定位原文最后一段“Maybe talking to animals can help a lot”，体现作者对这种与动物对话方式的积极态度，即Hopeful（充满希望的），排除A（不关心）、B（怀疑）、C（担心），选D。
30题：全文围绕剑桥动物博物馆的AI动物对话项目展开，同时提及该项目对动物保护的价值，因此写作意图是介绍该项目及其保护价值，排除A（讲扫码）、C（建议参观）、D（AI历史），选B。
