10.The amount of fish caught worldwide is much larger than has been reported.And that could mean serious problems for the environment and nations that depend on fisheries.A new estimate places the world fish catch at 109million tons.That is 32million tons higher than countries have been reporting yearly.
The same report notes that the world's fish catch has been declining since the late 1990s.
Countries report their industrial catches to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.But they do not report other kinds of fishing.These include the catches of small commercial fisheries,which are called artisanal fisheries,and fishing for recreation and individual food.
Daniel Pauly at the University of British Columbia in Canada led the study.He noted that a huge amount of some catches is thrown away.
"For example,shrimp trawlers (小虾拖捞船) retain only the shrimp and the fish that they catch-often eight to 10times as much as the shrimp-gets thrown away."
Pauly told VOA that better estimates of the actual global catch will help ensure there will be enough fish in the future.
"…But our figures suggest that since 1996a rapid decrease is happening.And if you project this forward you end up in a few decades having much less catch,literally no catch.So that is potentially dangerous."
Researchers also found ways of the world's fisheries are changing.They found that fishing fleets of larger nations are catching fish in the waters of developing countries more and more.
Pauly said he was surprised by the amount of fishing done by foreign fleets in competition with local fishers.
"In West Africa,the figure that was most astonishing is the enormous role of foreign fishing-of European and Asian vessels fishing legally or illegally-and competing against local fishers.On the other hand for the U.S.,Australia and some developing countries,such as the Bahamas,what was apparent is the enormous contribution of recreational fisheries,which also never get reported to the FAO."
Researchers say inaccurate data also harms the development and supervision of effective policy and management measures.
32.What is the weight of fish catch that every country has reported every year?A
A.77million tons. B.109million tons.

B.tell us another reason that leads to the inaccurate report of the global fish catch
C.tell us how important better estimates of the actual global catch are

分析 本文为新闻报道,报道了今年全球捕鱼量的猛增,但自从1990年来,捕鱼量在下降.作者还分析了捕鱼量下降的原因.
解答 32---35 ABDA
32.答案A.推理判断题.根据第二段"A new estimate places the world fish catch at 109 million tons.That is 32million tons higher than countries have been reporting yearly."可知,最新捕鱼量为109 million吨,比每年高出32 million吨.故每年的捕鱼量为A 77million吨.
33.答案B.细节理解题.根据第四段"But they do not report other kinds of fishing.These include the catches of small commercial fisheries"可知,报告中不包括其他种类的捕鱼,比如小型的商业捕鱼.答案选B.
34.答案D.细节理解题.根据上一段"He noted that a huge amount of some catches is thrown away."可知,作者提到这个案例是为了表明捕鱼量正在下降.答案选D.
35.答案A.推理判断题.根据第十段"foreign fleets in competition with local fishers"和十一段"and competing against local fishers"可知,新的渔业正在和当地渔业竞争,可推断过去的捕鱼者在当地水域里捕鱼.故选A.
