　　False Fear of Big Fish

　　Many people believe sharks (鯊魚)are dangerous and will always try to hurt or even kill humans. 46

　　A shark exhibition at the National Aquarium (水族館) in Baltimore, US, proves this. Visitors can touch young sharks, see their eggs develop and watch a dozen different species swim smoothly around a huge tank.

　　Most people fail to realize that shark attacks don’t happen very often. Humans are more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark. 47 There, kids can learn, from an early age, not to fear sharks.

　　“People fear what they don’t know,”said Nancy Hotchkiss, an organizer of the exhibition. “Sharks have been around for 400 million years and play an important role in the oceans food chain. We want people to discover that sharks are amazing animals that need our respect and protection.”

　　48 A study, published in January in the US magazine, Science, found that almost all recorded shark species have fallen by half in the past 8 to 15 years.

　　Thousands of sharks are hunted in Asia for special foods, such as shark fin (魚翅) soup. And many others get caught in nets, while fishermen are hunting other fish. 49

　　“Some fishing methods are actually cleaning out the ocean for sharks,”said Dave Schofield, the manager of the aquariums ocean health programmer. 50

　　A They can watch them develop inside their eggs and feel the skin of the older swimmers.

　　B A shocking 100 million sharks are killed every year around the world by humans.

　　C In fact, 94 percent of the world痼 400 species are harmless to humans.

　　D It is a worrying situation and some areas have put measures in place to protect these special fish.

　　E And to make this point clear, the museum has set up a special touching pool for children.

　　F More than half of the sharks caught are smaller than 1 metre long.

　　答案：

　　46C 文章第一段第一句的意思是，很多人認(rèn)為鯊魚是危險的，總是試圖傷害甚至威脅人類的性命。選項C的意思是：實際上，世界上400多種(鯊魚)中94%的鯊魚對人類是無害的。此句的意思和第一句聯(lián)系起來語意通順，合乎邏輯，故選C。

　　47E And to make this point clear, the museum has set up a special touching pool for children: 為了清楚地說明這一點，博物館專門為孩子們搭建了一個可以進行觸摸(鯊魚)的水池。第二段主要講鯊魚并不經(jīng)常攻擊人類，為了證明這一點，博物館……選項E放入空格處很連貫，與原文意思相符，故E為正確答案。

　　48B 此段的第一句被刪除了，要求考生補全。空格后面舉例說明過去8~15年內(nèi)鯊魚種群消亡了多少，選項B(A shocking 100 million sharks are killed every year around the world by humans.)顯然是本段的主題句，概括本段的意思，故B為正確答案。

　　49F 空格前面講的是漁民們捕殺鯊魚的事情，選項F具體談到被捕殺的鯊魚有多大，選項F與前敘述的內(nèi)容形成一種邏輯上的連貫關(guān)系，故F為正確答案。

　　50D 文章最后一段談到現(xiàn)在的一些捕鯊方式快把鯊魚捕盡了，選項D的意思是：這種情況令人擔(dān)憂，有些地區(qū)已經(jīng)采取措施來保護這些特殊的鯊魚(It is a worrying situation and some areas have put measures in place to protect these special fish.)，可見D是正確的。
