Institute for Peace and Environmental Studies (WMI) at the University of Nairobi. “They want to
call it after me,” she says.
WMI will pay more attention to “learning by doing” and use knowledge to deal with real

A.It can create water from its beak.
B.It helps the other animals run away.
C.It tries its best to put out the fire.
D.It finds out a way to save the forest.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I'm doing the best that I can”和第三段“... thinking of the world's environmental problems. ‘There's always something we can do with our little beak like the little hummingbird.’”可知,Maathai对蜂鸟评价很高的原因是蜂鸟会尽自己的全力去扑灭大火。故C项正确。
