Question

Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23.It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.
The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon，on Sydney's northern beaches，around dawn when he was attacked.The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.
“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing(激烈扭動(dòng))about in the water，”the police said.“Fortunately，the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father.”
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said，“It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.”He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore.“There was a lot of pain，as you can imagine.”The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.
Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”，but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures (骨折)．He was in a stable condition now.
Several beaches were closed after the attack.Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark，while the police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks.But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy.“I don't even know if he saw it，”Miller said.
Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches，but attacks on humans are still relatively rare.However，there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month，one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor，not far from the famous Opera House，and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach.
Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise.There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor，which has increased fish stocks.Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment，attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish.Many shark species，including the Great White—the man-eaters made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters.

語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一則新聞，一個(gè)男孩在悉尼的一個(gè)海灣沖浪時(shí)遭到鯊魚(yú)攻擊，這已是本月第三次鯊魚(yú)襲擊人的事件了。此地禁漁令的實(shí)施以及環(huán)境的改善使得魚(yú)的數(shù)量上升，鯊魚(yú)在捕食過(guò)程中也越來(lái)越多地隨著它的“食物”靠近海岸。
小題1:主旨大意題。文章第一段是主題段，特別是從文章第一段第一句可知文章大意。
小題2:詞義猜測(cè)題。從第二段第一句中的“when he was attacked”，第四段的“the boy was bleeding heavily”和第五段的“the bites ‘cut through to the bone'”可知savaged的意思是“攻擊，咬”。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第七段中的“in Sydney harbor，not far from the famous Opera House”可知答案。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第四段第二句可知，男孩被救上岸時(shí)正在大量流血。
小題5:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。最后一段主要提到三個(gè)因素致使鯊魚(yú)的數(shù)量增加：environmental protection，a ban on commercial fishing以及many shark species are protected。D項(xiàng)不是鯊魚(yú)數(shù)量增加的原因。
