W
e know that every year less than 100 people are attacked by sharks and about 5 to 10 of these people die. But,
let's look at the other side of the story - How many sharks do people kill? Well, I think you already know this:
People kill many more sharks. Every year, people hunt and kill thousands of sharks. One reason people kill
12
sharks is for sport; they hunt them just for fun. Some people started to have contests to see who kill the most
sharks or the biggest sharks. Another reason that people kill sharks is for food. In some countries, such as the
United States and Great Britain, shark meat is a popular food. In other countries, such as China, people use shark
fins to make soup. Because so many people like to eat shark, fishing boats catch a lot of sharks to sell for food.
So, for both of these reasons, people are killing many sharks. Some biologists are getting worried that the
number of sharks is getting too small. That's why many biologists think we should stop killing so many sharks,
and instead try to protect them - or else some day they may all be gone. Some countries have already passed
some laws to help protect sharks. The United States, for example, has passed laws that limit the number of
sharks that people can kill for food or for sport. So even though some people like to hunt sharks, we do need to
protect them.
36. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year?
A. thousands B. many C. five to ten D. one hundred
37. People want to kill sharks because________
A. they are afraid of sharks. B. shark meat is a popular food.
C. they get their enjoyment from killing sharks D. B and C are correct.
38. The number of sharks in the world is ___________
A. not getting worried by some biologists. B. being killed.
C. getting bigger. D getting smaller.

39. Why do biologists want to protect sharks?
A. Because they want to learn more about sharks. B. Because of the number of sharks that were
killed.
C. Because they are afraid some day sharks may no longer exist.
D. Because shark fins can be used in medicine.
40. Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?
A. The governments prohibited people from killing sharks.
B. Laws have been passed in sharks' defence.
C. People like to hunt sharks. D. People are killing many sharks for some
reasons.

People have been hunting whales for at least a thousand years, and there were no real problems until 20
th
century. What happened was that fishing technology became much more efficient and the ships were much
faster, so more and more whales were caught. In the 1960s the main whaling countries were killing more than

sixty thousand whales a year, and everyone began to realize that something had to be done.
It was environmental groups like Greenpeace that really made things change. They set out to make
people aware of the fact that whales were fast becoming extinct. But even now we don’t know if all this
interest has become too late. Let’s take the great blue whale for example, which at thirty to forty metres long
is the biggest animal there has ever been – now there are perhaps about two thousand or so left. In fact they
have been protected for quite a long time, but there is no sign that the population is growing.
34. How long have people been hunting whales?
A. since the 1960s. B. for over 1,000 years C. for nearly 200 years D. since the 20
