三、阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
The summer of 2011 has been a great year for sea turtles along the coast of North and South Carolina. The Department of Natural Resources have reported 3,889 nests have been spotted in South Carolina alone, with thousands more in North Carolina.
My sister-in-law is a loggerhead (蠵龟) fan and spends many hours patrolling (巡视) the turtle nests. Many nights, she and her fellow volunteers spend time locating and protecting the nests. Her greatest joy is watching the baby turtles hatch and crawl (爬行) safely to the sea. On their journey, the babies face many obstacles in their path, such as hungry birds or holes dug in the sand. Lights from beach houses also disturb their trip to the sea. It is a known fact that the turtle babies are attracted to light and sometimes go the wrong way. My sister-in-law will actually stand in the shallow water, with a flashlight, to help the baby loggerheads crawl in the right direction.
Adult loggerheads can weigh as much as 400 pounds and have a shell up to 3.5 feet long. The adult female will trek (跋涉) from the ocean about 3 to 6 times per season and deposit her eggs in the sand. She picks a spot, usually near the dunes (沙丘) and digs a hole. Then she deposits 100 to 125 golf ball sized eggs in the sand. Finally she travels back to the ocean, as her job is done.
