阅读理解。     Strong earthquakes hit the east of Japan in the afternoon of March 11, causing several meter-high tsunami
(海啸), which killed more than 10,000 people in areas along the coast. Several nuclear plants (核电站) at the
coast were broken by the earthquake and tsunami. People living near the plants have been asked to move away.
People living within 30 kilometers of the first plant are asked to stay indoors and close all windows.
     The breaking of the nuclear plants is causing electricity shortages (电力短缺) in Eastern Japan. As a result,
electricity is cut off for 3-hour periods in the area of Tokyo and some other areas during daytime. In order to

all major airports and train lines are still open and operating.
     For the above reasons, tourists are advised not to visit the eastern areas in the near future. Visits to Western
Japan are not affected by the event. People who plan to travel over the coming weeks and months are advised
to pay attention to the situation for a few more days before making decisions. 1. This passage may probably be written by a _____. A. scientist

阅读理解。     Big ocean fish have almost been endangered since the start of business fishing in the 1950s. The scientists
found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the past fifty years. The study took ten years.
The researchers collected records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine
Nature published (发表) the findings.
     The scientists say the common way called longline fishing is especially harmful to large fish. This way
includes many fishing lines that are connected (连接) to one boat. If these lines are joined together, they can
reach one hundred kilometers. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks (钩) to catch fish. Longline fishing
is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about
ten fish for every one hundred hooks. The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per
hundred hooks.
    The scientists say business fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. It"s not the only
worry that the number of large fish is becoming smaller and smaller. What"s worse, they are smaller in size than
their ancestors (祖先). 根据短文内容完成表格，每空一词。
                                               What is happening to ocean fish?

their kids. I"m afraid my kid will be less successful than the others in the future."

dropped the idea of holiday homework. Instead, they organize some interesting outdoor activities.

encourages kids to get involved (参与). This way, they would no longer want to copy from each other or
buy answers through the Internet.
