III- Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer (5 pts)
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
3


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 bigger 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 or food or for sport. So even though some
people like to hunt sharks, we do need protect them.

A. getting bigger
B. getting smaller
C. being killed
D. getting worried by some biologists
2. How many sharks are hunted and killed every year?
A. many
B. five to ten

C. thousands
D. one

3. Why do biologists wants to protect sharks?
A. Because of the number of sharks that were killed.
B. Because sharks fins can be used in medicine.
C. Because they want to learn more about sharks
D. Because they are afraid some day sharks may become extinct.
4. Why do people want to kill sharks ?
A. shark meat is a popular food
B. they are afraid of sharks
C. they get their enjoyment from killing sharks
D. “shark meat is a popular food” and “they get their enjoyment from killing sharks”
5. 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 are killing many sharks for some reasons
