Question

【题目】

[1] Fishing is probably the world’s most popular sport. People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs. And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime. Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it. Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby.

[2] Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby. Firstly, of the millions of people who fish for fun, most only catch enough fish to feed their families. They catch fish that are found in large numbers, so there is little danger to the species (种类).

[3] Secondly, recreational fishermen contribute to the economy. They spend money on equipment and other items, and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel. Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares. This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year.

[4] Thirdly, fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress. Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol, it is far better to go fishing. People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near ----- except for the smell of the bait!

[5] Those who _________________ say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers, lakes, streams and oceans. This could lead to the dying out of some species. Modern cars and boats mean that people/span> can fish in remote areas of the world, so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females, leaving few fish to produce young.

[6] Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun. Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating, so they are thrown away. Once hooked, fish have no chance of escape.

【解析】本文阐述了人们对钓鱼的两种不同态度。支持者认为钓鱼是一种不错的爱好，还能促进经济，减轻压力；反对者认为钓鱼破坏了环境，是一种血淋淋的运动。

【1】 本题是主旨大意题。第一段提出钓鱼这项运动，最后两句提出钓鱼爱好者和反对者对钓鱼的两种不同的看法。下文就详细阐述这两种不同的看法。因此，文章的主要内容是人们对钓鱼的不同看法。

【2】 本题是细节题。根据文章第二段最后一句，可知原因是They catch fish that are found in large numbers，但要注意字数限制，将原文中的定语从句简化成过去分词短语作定语。

【3】 该题是细节题。根据关键词spend their money定位于原文第一段第二句they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs.再者，money和第三段主旨contribute to the economy是同义的，因此，也可以在第三段在找。

【4】 结合其他段落可知，这个要补全的句子是第五段的主题句，第五段和第六段都是反对钓鱼的人所持的观点，因此应填：反对钓鱼的那些人。

【5】 分析which所在的句子可知，句子的主干是Those say that it is a blood sport, which引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是a blood sport，因此，which指的是a blood sport。
