Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成短文后的思維導(dǎo)圖，并將答案寫在答題卡（紙）的相應(yīng)位置。

Many have heard of shark fin soup. This famous and expensive dish is especially popular in southern China. But do you realize that you’re killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?

When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.

Environmental protection groups around the world, such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat them? Help save the sharks!

【解析】

本文主要講述了人們?yōu)榱顺贼~翅而殺害了大量的鯊魚，致使鯊魚處于瀕臨滅絕，作者呼吁人們不要再傷害鯊魚，要挽救鯊魚。

【1】根據(jù)文中But do you realize that you’re killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?但是你有沒有意識(shí)到，每次你享用一碗魚翅湯的時(shí)候，你都在殺死一整條鯊魚？以及When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean. 當(dāng)人們捕捉鯊魚時(shí)，他們割下鯊魚的鰭，把鯊魚扔回海里�？芍�這個(gè)食物是用鯊魚鰭做的，并且是很多鯊魚鰭，故答案為shark fins。

【2】根據(jù)文中When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment.當(dāng)人們捕捉鯊魚時(shí)，他們割下鯊魚的鰭，把鯊魚扔回海里。這不僅殘忍，而且對(duì)環(huán)境有害�？芍�，這樣做對(duì)環(huán)境是有害的，故答案為harmful。

【3】根據(jù)文中Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain.許多人認(rèn)為鯊魚永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)受到威脅，因?yàn)樗鼈兪鞘澄镦溨凶顝?qiáng)壯的。可知，人們認(rèn)為鯊魚是食物鏈中最強(qiáng)壯的，也就是在食物鏈中比其他的都要強(qiáng)，故答案為stronger。

【4】根據(jù)文中But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year.但事實(shí)上，每年約有7000萬條鯊魚在這個(gè)行業(yè)被捕撈和交易。可知人們?cè)谶@個(gè)行業(yè)每年都在捕撈鯊魚并進(jìn)行交易，故答案為catch and trade。

【5】根據(jù)文中They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins.他們甚至要求政府制定法律來阻止魚翅的銷售。可知這里是說他們要求政府制定法律阻止賣魚翅，也就是說要求阻止捕撈鯊魚，而英語中表達(dá)“停止做某事”是stop doing sth，故答案為catching。

任務(wù)型閱讀理解在做題的時(shí)候，首先要先閱讀所給的任務(wù)，明確任務(wù)是什么，再帶著任務(wù)去閱讀，這樣就能做到心中有數(shù)，有針對(duì)性地去讀，才能提高閱讀效率。像這種完成圖表類的文章，首先要略讀文章了解大意，然后在對(duì)應(yīng)到表格中，找到文中對(duì)應(yīng)的句子，看缺哪一部分就填哪一部分，但是有些題目并不是完全與文中的句子一樣，有些是需要?dú)w納總結(jié)才能得出答案的，比如第三空◆Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are ______3______ than the others in their food chain.而對(duì)照原文中的句子是Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain.原文是最高級(jí)，而題目中用的是比較級(jí)，要注意轉(zhuǎn)換。
