It's the biggest whale shark and can reach as long as 41.5 feet, and these amazing creatures are not only the biggest sharks, but they are also biggest fish of any kind.Whale sharks have a lifespan of 70 years on average, and they spend their days gently swimming in the warm and tropical oceans.Their teeth are the size of match heads, and while their jaws could be powerful, they have never tended to attack humans. Their teeth play no role in eating, as plankton (浮游生物) does not need to be chewed. They are to be found in numbers in the warmer oceans and they prefer the deep waters of open oceans. They tend to travel alone.Several times a year they gather together in certain spots where plankton is plentiful. Those areas are all within a 30°north or south latitude from the equator. Sadly whale sharks are targeted by commercial fisheries at those spots.How easy it must be for the fishermen to catch those beautiful creatures who can only swim at 3.5 miles per hour! So great a loss in numbers have they suffered that whale sharks are now listed as one of the endangered species. Some countries have started to take measures to protect the whale sharks from extinction.The Philippines, India and Taiwan have all banned the fishing, selling, importing and exporting of whale sharks for commercial purposes. However, the law doesn't seem to be effective because the hunting and killing still goes on today, especially in Taiwan and the Philippines. Each whale shark can fetch around $21,000. In parts of Asia they are known as the “money shark”The mighty dollar wins again at great cost to our habitat, and we will not know what we have lost until we have lost it forever. Therefore, it is high time for us to do something for the whale sharks.篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文。作為世界上最大的魚類鯨鯊，雖然體形碩大，卻從不攻擊人類，但就是這樣溫順的鯨鯊也難逃悲慘命運(yùn)！1We can learn from the passage that whale sharks_.Ausually live a life of more than 70 yearsBalways travel in the ocean in groupsCdepend on their teeth to harvest their foodDlive in the deep waters of warmer oceans答案：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段可知鯨鯊生活在熱帶海洋水域，故選D。2Why can the whale sharks be caught easily?ABecause they swim in the oceans at a slow speed.BBecause they are surrounded by so many fisherman.CBecause they often gather together.DBecause they never tend to attack humans in the water.答案：A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段第一句可以推測出鯨鯊很容易被抓住是因?yàn)樗鼈冇蔚煤苈蔬xA。3It is implied in the passage that_.Awhale sharks will be extinct even if they are protectedBwhale sharks are the most dangerous marine animalsCthere is no law about banning the fishing of whale sharksDthe huge profit is to blame for the decreasing numbers of whale sharks答案：D推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后兩句可知漁民捕殺鯨鯊是因?yàn)樗鼈兡苜u出很高的價(jià)錢，漁民可以從中獲得巨大利潤，故選D。4What is the main purpose of this passage?ATo appeal to people to protect whale sharks.BTo advise the government to make related laws.CTo guide people how to fish and kill whale sharks.DTo analyze the value of whale sharks.答案：A主旨大意題。通讀全文可知作者寫這篇文章是為了呼吁人們保護(hù)鯨鯊，故選A。- 7 -
