To solve the problem, Kenya’s wildlife officials (官员) made a free mobile phone app. All users can share some information about the animals after seeing them. For example, they can send their pictures and their location, and even report what they are doing. Dr. Simon, a researcher at the National Museums of Kenya, says it’s necessary to have more people use the app and share information about wild animals. This can help experts keep records of the animals’ changing environment. It’s not enough to just depend on hard work of experts. All of people in Kenya should join them to protect wild animals, including guides, visitors, and students. Dr. Philip, a wildlife official, said, “With the app, they can easily know which animals are endangered, where the animals are and what they need to do about them.” Wildlife officials say Kenya is home to at least a third of wild animals in Africa. And they are hopeful that the app users will help to protect the animals. 9. Wildlife officers in Kenya made this app in order to __________.

There is a need to get people from all walks of life to join them”可知，Makenya这个应用程序有助于保护野生动物，故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“It’s not enough to just depend on hard work of experts. All of people in Kenya should join them to protect wild animals, including guides, visitors, and students.”可知，仅仅依靠专家的辛勤工作是不够的。肯尼亚的所有人都应该加入他们，保护野生动物，包括导游、游客和学生。此处“them”代指前文“experts专家”。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据“All users can share some information about the animals after seeing them.”和“including guides, visitors, and students.”可知，不仅仅野生动物官员才能使用这个程序。故选D。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Wildlife officials say Kenya is home to at least a third of wild animals in Africa.
