题目内容
13.By the early 1990s,13of the world's 17main fishing areas were already destroyed or damaged badly by overfishing.Fishermen are finding fewer and fewer fish everywhere.Unluckily,this does not mean that fishermen are stopping fishing.Instead many are using new ways to fish new waters as deep as a mile.
Many scientists believe that present fishing ways will destroy all the large fishing areas of the world.What can be done to stop this?
Some scientists believe that governments should create no-fishing zones*-areas where no one can fish.Governments can patrol*and police these areas.During the U.N.International Year of the Ocean,more than 1600leading scientists from 65countries called for the world to create 80times the no-fishing areas that exist*now.Their goal is to protect 20% of the world's oceans by 2020.This is happening in some places-for example,the fishing industry*in Britain is beginning to accept no-fishing zones because the amount of fish the industry catches is getting smaller and smaller.
The fishing industry often argues that the scientific evidence*is not complete-that we just don't know what is going on in the oceans.Now,scientists and environmentalists have to prove that the fishing industry is doing damage before the government will pass laws protecting the ocean.This takes time and sometimes it is difficult to prove something like this.Science magazine says we should have the opposite rule-big fishing companies should have to prove*that they are not destroying the oceans before we allow them to fish.
Environmentalists say that the large fishing companies who own the large fishing boats are not going to stop fishing by themselves.So people need to get together and put pressure on their governments to do something.If we don't,there will be nothing left in the oceans but water.

分析 许多环保组织警告说,世界海洋正处于巨大的危险之中,污染和过度捕捞是最主要的危险因素.海洋污染已经得到了公众的关注,但过度捕捞可能在未来几年会更加严重.
渔民们发现可捕捞的鱼越来越少,可是他们并没有停止捕捞,相反他们使用新的技术来捕鱼.许多科学家认为现在的捕捞方式会破坏世界海洋所有的捕鱼区域,所以他们号召政府建立"禁渔区",在那里任何人不得捕鱼,这一项倡议在英国等部分地区已经开始实行.但渔业界却认为科学家们并不了解海洋,他们所提出的证据并不全面,所以科学家和环境保护者在政府通过法律保护之海洋之前,他们必须寻找证据来证明渔业界确实对海洋造成了破坏,但这需要时间.因此一些科学杂志希望大型的渔业公司应主动证明他们没有破坏海洋,这样他们才可以进行捕捞.但大型渔业公司为了他们自身的利益并不会停止捕捞,所以人们应该团结起来,给政府施加压力,否则海洋到最后什么也没有了,只剩下了水.
解答 37.A.细节理解题.根据The main dangers for the oceans are pollution and overfishing.可知文中提到海洋的主要危险因素是海洋污染和过度捕捞,故选择A.
38.B.推理判断题.根据Pollution receives more publicity(attention got from media),but overfishing may be the more serious of the two in the next few years.可知海洋污染已经得到了公众的关注,但在未来几年过度捕捞可能会变得更严重,对海洋更加危险,故选择B.
39.A.细节理解题.根据Some scientists believe that governments should create no-fishing zones-areas where no one can fish.可知人们不能在禁渔区捕鱼,则①是正确的;根据 the government will pass laws protecting the ocean.可知政府应通过制定法律来保护海洋,则②是正确的;根据Science magazine says we should have the opposite rule-big fishing companies should have to prove that they are not destroying the oceans before we allow them to fish.可知一些科学杂志认为大型渔业公司应该主动来证明他们并没有破坏海洋,则③是正确的;根据So people need to get together and put pressure on their governments to do something.可知环境保护者和人们应该一起来给政府施加压力,而不是④所说的和政府一起,则④是错误的,故选择A.
40.D.标题归纳题.文章主要讲述了因过度捕捞对海洋所产生的破坏,以及由此带来的问题,故D选项符合文章主旨大意,故选择D.
点评 本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了过度捕捞对海洋产生的破坏,人们应该团结起来建议"禁渔区"保护海洋.本文篇幅较长,考生应认真阅读文章,理解大意,仔细审题,准确定位信息,在文中找到相对应的答案或者依据,难度适中.
