Dr．Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish．It’s not because fish are endanger

题型：不详难度：来源：

Dr．Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish．It’s not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low．It’s not because they’re bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water．It’s because they’re smart．
“Fish are sensitive, they have personalities,” says the marine biologist．For Earle, eating a fish would be like eating a dog or a cat．“I would never eat anyone I know personally.”
There’s a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human．They can remember things and learn from experience．Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether．
The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket．“While it may seem obvious that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables,” says Dr．Lynne Sneddon．“Really, it’s kind of a moral question．Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (or eating fish) more important than the pain of the fish?”
Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are doubtful．“I’ve never seen a smart fish,” says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant．“If they were very smart,
they wouldn’t get caught.”
“For years, everyone’s been telling us to eat fish because it’s so good for us,” says another diner．“Now I’ve got to feel guilty while I’m eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don’t eat salad because cucumbers have feelings?”
64．Dr．Sylvia Earle discourage people from eating fish because _____________.
A．there are not that many wild fish in the ocean
B．fish actually are sensitive and have personalities
C．some ocean fish contain poisonous substances
D．fish are like dogs or cats that people know personally
65．We can infer from the passage that _____________.
A．all people don’t agree with the idea to stop eating fish
B．people will be persuaded not to eat fish in the future
C．stopping eating fish will lead to people’s not eating vegetables
D．we shouldn’t care too much about the feeling of fish
66．By saying “There’s a lot more to fish than meets the eye,” the writer means ____________.
A．there are far more fish than other animals in the world
B．there are more fish in the world than people can see
C．people can see more fish if they pay more attention
D．fish are not that simple as they appear to people’s eyes
67．What is the writer’s attitude towards people eating fish?

Animals seem to have the sense to eat when they are hungry and they do not eat more than their bodies need. It has been proved that rats will, when given a choice over a period of time, prefer water with vitamins to water without vitamins even though there is no difference in taste or smell between the two water bottles. When a fragrant flavor（香味）was added to the vitamin-enriched water, the rat did seem to develop a taste for it and kept drinking it even after the vitamins were switched to the clear water. In time, however, they broke the habit and went back to where the necessary vitamins were.
In a classic experiment, babies of 6 to 12 months old were placed in a cafeteria（自助餐厅） feeding arrangement, with a wide selection of baby food before them. They were given what ever food they pointed to or appeared interested in. We are told that at first they showed some unusual eating patterns, but that over a period of time they managed to select well-balanced diet.
So, in selecting food, rats and babies do seem to know and act on what’s best for them. Obviously, there is a ‘body wisdom’, which humans soon lose. Most of us do not eat as wisely as we could. Many of our food preferences are culturally determined and influenced by long-established habits. Some people eat fox, dog and blackbirds, while we eat cows and pigs. So what people eat and how much they eat seems to be greatly influenced by what is going on around us.

第二节简答题（共4小题; 10分）
阅读短文，根据所要求的字数回答问题。
TV viewers may no longer be able to hear English abbreviations (缩写), like "NBA" (National Basketball Association), from mainland broadcasters.
China Central Television (CCTV) and Beijing Television (BTV) confirmed to China Daily on Tuesday that they had received a notice from a related government department, asking them to avoid using certain English abbreviations in Chinese programs.
The channels, however, did not reveal exactly how many English abbreviations are listed in the notice.
The notice not only limits the use of English abbreviations in sports news, but also in economic and political news. Abbreviations such as "GDP" (gross domestic product), "WTO" (World Trade Organization) and "CPI" (consumer price index) will also be substituted（代替）with their Chinese pronunciations, it said.
The move comes after a growing number of national legislators（立法委员）and political advisors called for preventive measures to preserve（保存）the purity of the Chinese language.
"If we don"t pay attention and don"t take measures to stop mixing Chinese with English, the Chinese language won"t remain pure in a couple of years," said Huang Youyi, editor-in-chief of the China International Publishing Group and secretary-general of the Translators" Association of China.
The restricted use of English abbreviations on Chinese television programs has provoked a debate among scholars.
"It makes no sense to introduce a regulation to prevent the use of English in the Chinese language in the face of globalization（全球化）," Liu Yaoying, a professor at the Communication University of China, said on Tuesday. "It is cultural conservatism（保守主义）。"
"If Western countries can accept some Chinglish words, why can"t the Chinese language be mixed with English?"
86. What does the government tell TV stations to do in the notice? (no more than 12 words)
_________________________________________________.
87. In what TV programs English abbreviations are limited? (List three of them)
_________________________________________________.
88. According to Huang Youyi’s opinion, why should we stop using English abbreviations?
(no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________.
89. “Chinglish” in the last sentence means __________________. (no more than 10 words)

第二部分：阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分)
第一节：阅读下列文章,根据文章内容,从文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Last year my wife and I spent a most interesting month in Turkey. Before we left, we were reminded of the difficulties of driving in Turkey. We certainly did not find this to be the case and, except for a few places in faraway mountain areas, the roads were wide, and well-paved (铺). We drove for 12 days along the Western Coast of Turkey and had no problems at all. We found the Turkish drivers most polite and well educated. We also found that eating lunch in the smaller towns was difficult so we picnicked almost every day.
The following day after our arrival was Turkey’s Children’s Day, started by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Ataturk loved children

and he often said, “Children are a new beginning of tomorrow”. He even dedicated the day 23rd of April to the children. Today, it is celebrated as Children’s Day as well as the date when the Republic of Turkey was founded.
On that day certain children are picked to take over the places of the government, and a lucky kid will be the president of Turkey for a whole day. He can decide what’s going to happen and whether or not he is going to have the president sit next to him. There are a very large number of things you can do but some shops aren’t open because they are celebrating as well.
All in all, it was a more enjoyable trip. I would recommend a trip to Turkey to anyone with an adventurous spirit!
36. Before the author and his wife went on a trip to Turkey, they were told that
_____.
A. it was difficult to travel in Turkey
B. it was not easy to drive in Turkey

o the first paragraph?
A. Places in mountain areas were difficult to reach.
B. The couple drove for 12 days during their journey.
C. The Turkish drivers had good manners.
D. It was difficult to eat meals in Turkey.
38. The underlined word “he” in th

e third paragraph refers to ______.
A. every one of us B. the government
C. the president of Turkey D. the lucky child
39. What can be

inferred from the passage?
A. The couple had no difficulty making their way in Turkey.
B. Turkey’s National Day was the 22nd of April.
C. The author joined in celebrating Children’s Day.
D. On Turkey’s Children’s Day everyone had a holiday.

第二节：根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。（每小题2分，共10 分）

A．TV’s Influence on Children’s Life

B．Arguments Against Violence on TV

C．TV’s Influence on People’s Leisure Activities

D．The Importance of Violence in Real Life

E. Attraction of Violence on TV
F. TV’s Power
51._____________
Television has probably been the most powerful medium in shaping the community. The electronic community gives us our mutual friends, our significant events and our daily chats. The “produced” relationships of television families become our models f

or intimacy. We know media stars better than we know our neighbors. Most of us can discuss their lives better than we can discuss those of our relatives. We think a man who plays a doctor on TV actually knows something about medicine.
52.________________
People spend most of their time watching TV in their spare time. People spend more time watching videos but less time making music with each other. People in small towns now watch international cable net

works instead of driving to their neighbor’s house for cards. Women watch soaps instead of attending church or book clubs. When company comes, kids are sent to the TV room with videos.
53____________________
Parents are not the main influence in the lives of their children. Some of the first voices children hear are from the TV, and the first street they know is Sesame Street. A child playing Nintendo is learning different lessons than a child playing along a creek or

playing dominoes with his grandfather.
54.________________
The time devoted to violence on TV in no way reflects its importance in real life. In real life, most of us exercise ,work, visit our friends, read ,cook, eat and shop. Few of us spend any significant amount of our time solving murders or fleeing psychotic killers. On television there are many more detectives and murderers than in the real world .A rule of thumb about violence is “If it bleeds, it leads.” Violence attract viewers” attention. Our programs have become increasing violent.
55_________________
Different people have different opinions. Some might say that there is nothing new under the sun. Of course, in a narrow sense, they are correct. There have always been murderers, and stories about violence have been the theme of literature and songs. However, things are different now. Children are exposed to hundreds of examples of violence every day. The frequence and intensity of these images is unprecedented in the history of humanity. We have clear records that this exposure makes it more likely that children will be violent and increases their fear levels about potential violence.
