Sharks(鲨鱼) are not as dangerous to humans as humans are to sharks. Even though millions of people swim in the seas each year, fewer than fifty serious shark attacks appear usually, and only ten of these are fatal (致命的). The reason for this low accident rate is that most sharks are afraid of living things as large as humans. Of the350 known kinds of sharks, only one — the great white shark — is totally unafraid of humans. At the same time, humans kill sharks in greater numbers than in the past. Thousands are hunted and killed each year for food．Thousands more are killed by the nets under the water, which are put off the beaches to protect swimmers in Australia and South Africa．Even the great white shark is reducing as humans hunt it for its teeth, which are sold to collectors. Maybe it is time we began worrying less about protecting people from sharks and more about protecting sharks from people.1. The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A．it doesn’t matter if a person is attacked by a shark
B．sharks are not as dangerous as people think
C．sharks are afraid of things the size of a human
D．there are fewer shark attacks than before
2. Nets are put off the beaches in some countries so that ________.
A．swimmers will be safe on the beaches
B．people can kill more dangerous sharks
C．people can catch sharks easily
D．sharks will not be attacked
3. By writing this passage, the writer wants to give us a warning that ________.
A．the nets off the beaches are killing too many sharks
B．too many people want to collect shark teeth
C．sharks are in danger
D．sharks are still dangerous

| To support the recent Earth Day, a small group of HELP University College students from the Greens Club, a nature society, did their bit for the hard situation of an unlikely mistreated group: sharks (鲨鱼). Nearly 100 million sharks are killed every year for their fins (鳍)，which are made into shark fin soup that is referred to as the delicacy. Some members of the club spent one month gathering research materials for a show. “I thought I already knew how sharks were treated—I never thought it could be so cruel,” admitted Hui zhi, who helped set up the “shark murder” TV corner for the club and was one of the first to watch the video materials. “It’s very beneficial to anyone who watches it”, said Clarence meanwhile. “And watching it probably does a lot to get people to stop eating shark fin soup and stop the demand for it.” He is right. Watching the poor sharks killed at the hands of human is not different from watching one’s beloved household pet killed unmercifully(无情地) just for something God gives them, like fins, or fur. “Young people can influence their parents’ thinking. We wanted to screen Shark Tale to show the human side of sharks, the human side that every animal has.” added Ee Ling, who founded the Greens Club three years ago. Fortunately, there is the good sense of young hearts and minds like Ee Ling and friends who are able to see and value the soul in natural things before they become exploited (不正当地利用) for our own pleasure. 1. Why are so many sharks killed every year? A. People hunted them for their fins. B. Because they are dangerous to fishermen. C. Because people want to screen “Shark Tale”. D. Because they are not like our beloved pets. 2. Form the passage we can infer that______. A. shark fin soup is the best delicacy in the world B. people who watched the video materials about sharks would stop eating shark soup at once C. people don’t like sharks D. many people aren’t able to see and value the soul in natural things 3. How does the writer feel about the present situation? A. depressed B. angry C. sad but hopeful D. disappointed |
