III. Reading:
We 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 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.
19. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year?


A. thousands
B. many
C. five to ten
D. one hundred
20. The number of sharks in the world is _____
A. not getting worried by some biologists.
B. being killed.
C. getting bigger.
D getting smaller.
21. 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 someday sharks may no longer exist.
D. Because shark fins can be used in medicine.
22. 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.
