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 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.
1. The number of sharks in the world is........................	
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 hundred 
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	 D. People like to hunt sharks
C. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions: (1.25ms)
There is only one ocean. It divided into five different pasts: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Antarctic and Arctic Oceans. There are also many other smaller seas, gulfs and bays which form part of them. Altogether they cover seventy-five percent of the earth’s surface. For centuries, people have been challenged by the mysteries that lie beneath the ocean. However, today’s scientists have overcome many of the challenges of the depth by using modern devices. They send submarines to investigate the seabed and bring samples of marine life back to the surface for further study. Satellite photographs provide a wide range of information, including water temperature, depth and undersea populations. If modern technology did not exist, we would never have such precious information.
