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 conspicuous 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 skeptical. "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?"
1.According to Dr. Sylvia Earle, he would stop eating fish as a result of the following reasons EXCEPT ______.
A. Fish are sensitive and have personalities
B. He knows fish very well
C. Fish are dangerous to eat because the water is polluted
D. Fish are clever

A. obvious B. easy C. impossible D. necessary
4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________.
A. Human beings should stop eating fish
B. We would feel guilty if we continued eating fish
C. People eat fish because fish are delicious
D. Cucumber is a kind of vegetable or fruit
5.What was the author’s purpose when writing this passage_______?

No doubt that you know about Charities. Here it is another chance for you to know more. Difficult times often bring out the best in people. And this was the case for basketball star Yao Ming, who hosted a television show in Shanghai that raised US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARS. Fundraising, or charity, is an act of goodwill towards others. Charities in the West have more flexible ways. Look at a typical day for Ruth, a wealthy woman in the UK, for example. Ruth wakes up in the morning and collects her post. There’s a letter addressed to her with a picture of a half-dead, beaten horse. It’s from a charity asking Ruth to donate money to save the animals. The door bell rings and there, on Ruth’s doorstep, is an old woman asking for money to help the aged. She turns on the television, hears sad music and sees a picture of a wide-eyed child dying of hunger in Africa with an appeal for money to help the child. Ruth then goes shopping for a dress to wear to that evening’s large party for the rich and famous. The ticket cost her a small fortune, but she doesn’t mind because most of the money is going to a charity that fights AIDS. She feels good about going because she’s helping the sick. Within five minutes of walking down the street, Ruth has passed a charity shop. She doesn’t stop because she doesn’t think she’d find a suitable dress there—it’s full of old, secondhand clothes. But, many other people enter and but all sorts of bargains. Edna, a little old lady, looks after the shop. Any profit it has made goes to a cancer charity. Now that she has retired, she has plenty of spare time to offer her services for free.
For people like Yao Ming, Ruth and Edna, charity is a virtue that holds the same importance in life as faith and hope. “As you look back on your life, the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others,” said Scottish author Henry Drummond.
1.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the story as a way of fundraising ?
A. Charity party B. Charity post

2.What does the word “raise” in the first paragraph mean ?

C. IncreaseD. Bring to someone’s attention.
3.We can infer from the passage that .
A. Yao Ming donated US$300,000 to help researchers find a cure for SARS
B. Edna may not be a rich lady but she is willing to do something for others
C. Ruth leads a busy life and she feels very tired
D. Ruth is angry because so many people ask her for money every day
4.What’s the writer’s attitude towards charity ?
A. The writer thinks it’s something only people like Ruth can afford to do
B. The writer just wants to inform us of the different ways to practice charity
C. The writer thinks it’s a virtue and admires the people who practice it
D. The writer doesn’t make it clear in the story
5.The underlined part in the last paragraph probably means that .
A. when you look back sometimes, you need stand out
B. when you want to do something for others, you need stand out
C. the moment you stand out, you can do something for others
D. what impresses people deeply is what they have done for others

In California, young sea lions are in danger of starving to death and it is not clear why.
"I'm going on a rescue right now," said Peter Wallerstein talking on his cell phone while in his truck. "'I've already rescued two sea lions."
Wallerstein can barely keep up with the distress calls. His sea mammal rescue operation has already saved 240 California sea lion pups this year.
"Not much energy left in this guy," he said about one particular sea lion. Almost all were dying from starvation.
"We found them seven miles up the flood control channel, found them under a car, and we don't really know why," he said.
On average, about a hundred sea lions are rescued in Southern California during the winter. But 700 have been picked up over the last three months.
"They're very sick," said Keith Matassa, who runs the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach. His team is nursing 115 sea lions back to health.
"A normal sea lion at this age -- 8 to 9 months old -- should be around 60, 70 pounds," said Matassa. "We're seeing them come into our center at 20 to 25 pounds, and really, they look like walking skeletons."
Sea lions depend on herring, sardines and other small fish found close to California's coast.
Sarah Wilkin is a marine biologist with the National Marine Fisheries Service. Asked why it has reached this point, she said: "We're looking at whether the prey that these animals should be eating just isn't available to them for some reason, and that could be because there's less of it or because it's moved and it's not accessible."
It can take four months of care before the animals are strong enough to be released back into the Pacific.
"This is the ultimate gift watching an animal come in as a walking skeleton," said Matassa, "and watching it run off the beach...and just head out where it should be."
Scientists worry they'll find even more starving sea lions in the weeks ahead. April and May are usually peak months for sea lion rescues.
1. What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence in the third paragraph?
A. Wallerstein is bored with the calls.
B. The situation is terrible for the sea lions.
C. Wallerstein’s telephone is hard to get through to.
D. The rescue operation is going very well.
2.What might have led to the starvation of the sea lions, according to Sarah Wilkin?
A. The winter coldness. B. A lack of prey.
C. A flood. D. Car accidents.
3. When the sea lions come back to health, they are _______.
A. released back into the Pacific
B. sent to the National Marine Fisheries Service
C. sent to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center
D. released on the Californian coast
4. The underlined sentence “ they look like walking skeletons” means________.
A. they are very firm B. they are very active
C. they are very ugly D. they are very thin
5. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Access to Sea lions’ Prey
B. Sea Lion Rescue Operation
C. Starvation Endangers Sea Lions
D. Protection for Sea Lions Is Pressing
