Many have heard of shark fin soup. But do you realize that you’re killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup? When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. But in fact, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.

Environmental protection groups around the world, such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat them? Help save the sharks!

【1】Many people realize they are killing a whole shark when they enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup.

【2】70 million sharks have been caught and traded in the last 20 to 30 years.

【3】If the number of sharks is too low, the ocean’s ecosystem will be in danger.

【4】Many think that sharks are too strong to be endangered.

【5】Shark fins are good for health.

25、阅读理解。

Do you know Roma people? They were called Gypsies（吉普赛人）by Europeans because they thought they came from Egypt(a country in Africa). About a thousand years ago, the Roma people left their homeland. They are known as nomads because for hundreds of years many of them have lived in large groups that travel from place to place. They have no real homeland.

Today, the Roma are now living all over the world. They have kept their language and many customs. For example, it’s important for Roma to marry other Roma. It’s also a custom for parents to choose the person their children will marry. Roma people get married when they are young, sometimes even as young as 14.

Romany is the language of the Roma people, which was written down only recently. Because the Roma are nomadic and have moved all over the world, their language has developed in many different ways. It is sometimes hard for Roma in one part of the world to understand Roma from another part.

Roma music is famous all over the world, because many Roma throughout history have been musicians. Their music has influenced many other kinds of music, like classical and jazz.

Roma don’t usually assimilate（同化） into host countries. Over many centuries, governments have forbidden them to marry each other, travel or wear their traditional bright clothes. They have their gold taken away from them-treasures（财富） from their parents and grandparents. They have been taken as slaves（奴隶）, and have been forced to change their names.

But today, the Roma are finding ways to live in peace with others while keeping the treasures of their culture. “There is a will within us to continue to live as a people,” says George Kaslov, whose family arrived in New York from Russia a hundred years ago. “All the other ethnic（种族） groups who came to America assimilate gradually with time going; they lose their customs and language. But not the Roma, We hold out.”

【1】What does the underlined word “nomads” in the 1st paragraph mean?

A. People who move from place to place.

B. People who come from Roma.

C. People who have their own homeland.

【2】What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. George Kaslov has a strong will to live on.

B. The Roma still keep their customs and language.

C. The Roma are finding ways to keep the gold of their own.

【3】What can we infer（推断） about the Roma according to the passage?

A. Most of the Roma live in very unusual houses.

B. Most Roma get married either when they are very young or very old.

C. Their culture is very different from other European cultures.

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To tell readers about an interesting culture.

B. To tell us why the Roma need our help.

C. To show us how all people are similar.

【5】What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Brave Roma Travelers

B. Famous Roma Music.

C. The Roma: Past and Present

26、New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback.The New York police have 170 horses working on certain parts of the city.The horses are expensive to feed(喂养), but it is even more expensive to look after them.Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horse shoes.In fact, they need more than 8,000 of them each day.Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month.Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths(铁匠).There are only about thirty-five blacksmiths in the whole United States.

The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.

A blacksmith’s job is not an easy one.He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit(安装) it to the horse foot.The blacksmith must bend over(弯腰) all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight(重量) of the horse’s leg while he works.Clearly, a blacksmith must be very strong.But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses-for before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift his leg.

One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin.He came to the country from Ireland in 1948.He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city.Corbin became interested in the job of blacksmiths because his father did it, and, as he puts it, “It’s a good way to make a living.”

27、   You probably know you should say "please" and "thank you" at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?

Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 player, you shouldn't have it turned up too high.

Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Places like libraries, schools and museums don't allow MP3 players. So you should keep your MP3 players off.

Take One Out! Once in a while, it's okay just to take out one earphone and not the other. Imagine you are listening to your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.

It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.

29、For me, racing was something I started doing with my family when I was really young. My dad never pushed me into race. He just wanted me to be out there giving it my all, applying myself, and most of all, having _________.

I was racing motorcycles in California when I was 8 years old. In motorcycle racing, they _________ you by age. My ninth _________ was coming up, which meant I would be moving up into the 9-to-11-year-old group. One problem with that was that the motorcycle was much bigger than me. But that didn’t stop me from _________. So I was out there joining in the race, and went into a turn and fell off. My dad was sitting there in the trees just watching the race go on and watching me try to solve this problem. The motorcycle was lying on the ground and I couldn’t lift it up. I got really frustrated (沮丧的). And I began to _________ the motorcycle. That’s when I heard my dad shouting to me, “That motorcycle didn’t do anything to you, son. Don’t kick it.”
