26、A

A woman is swimming at night in a dark sea. Suddenly, she is pulled underwater. She surfaces, cries in terror, then disappears forever. This is the opening scene from the 1975 film Jaws. This film was a great hit, but it made things worse.

Jaws made people frightened of sharks, especially of the great white shark. Some stopped swimming in the sea, afraid of the horrible creature from the film. Others started fishing for sharks, killing as many as they could. At that time, nobody cared if sharks were killed, or how many were killed. People just wanted them killed.

After 1975,the number of large sharks fell quickly around the world.This was not only due to fear of sharks, but also finning, a type of fishing where sharks are caught and their fins cut off. Unexpectedly, finning would have a powerful effect upon Peter Benchley, who wrote the book the film Jaws was based on.

One day in 1980,Benchley was diving when he came across an awful sight.He saw fishermen finning and sharks being killed,which caused a deep change in him.From then on, he saw people as a danger to sharks,rather than the other way round.Also,he admitted that his book was wrong about sharks' behavior."Sharks don't target(以…为目标）humans,"he said.Experts have proved that sharks do not see people as food, and they attack us by mistake. Only around six people are killed by sharks every year.

Today,as we learn more about sharks,more people than ever want to protect them from extinction.

【1】The film Jaws led to

A．an end of shark fishing

B．a rise in shark population

C．the popularity of shark movies

D．people's scare about sharks

【2】How did the sight of finning affect Peter Benchley?

A．It woke him up to his false idea of sharks.

B．It inspired him to do research about sharks.

C．It drove him to learn how to protect sharks.

D．It encouraged him not to be afraid of sharks.

【3】What is the best title for the text?

29、Saturn, an alligator（短吻鳄）, aged 84, died at the Moscow Zoo. That in itself made Saturn unusual. In the wild, the normal life span for an alligator is 30 to 50 years. But longevity was the least unusual aspect of Saturn’s life story.

Saturn was born somewhere in Mississippi in 1936 and was shipped to the Berlin Zoo from which he disappeared on November 23rd, 1943, when the zoo was stricken in an air bombing campaign. Of the 16,000 animals once kept in the Berlin Zoo, fewer than 100 survived the war. Saturn was one of them.

When he got freedom in 1943, Saturn was 7 years old. In June 1946, an almost adult Saturn was discovered and captured by British army. The alligator was then turned over to the allied Soviet troops（苏联盟军）in Berlin who sent him on to Moscow where he would live in the next 74 years.

It was in Moscow that word got around that Saturn was a pet which belonged to Adolf Hitler. This undocumented episode with Hitler made Saturn a public figure.

"Even if he belonged to someone," the zoo's announcement of Saturn's death says, "animals are not involved in war and politics." Officials at the Moscow Zoo treated him as an honored guest. "We tried to take care of him with great care and attention. He was picky about food." Even among his keepers, he knew who he liked. He perfectly remembered the trusted keeper.

If a zoo animal can be a historical figure, officials say this one qualifies. "Saturn is a whole era for us. There is not the slightest exaggeration," the announcement of his death said. "He came after the victory in WWII—and witnessed（见证）its 75th anniversary. It is a great happiness that each of us could look into his eyes, just quietly being near. He saw many of us as children. We hope that we did not disappoint him.”

Death may not end Saturn's public career. It has been reported that his body will be maintained and placed on show at Moscow's Charles Darwin Museum of Biology.

【1】What does the underlined "That" in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Saturn's death.

B．Saturn's longevity.

C．Saturn's life story.

D．Saturn's living conditions.

【2】According to the timeline of Saturn's life， which matches the event to the year when it happened?

A．Saturn was born and raised in the Berlin Zoo in 1936

B．Saturn survived an air attack and got freedom in 1943.

C．Saturn got caught by the allied Soviet troops in 1946.

D．Saturn celebrated its 75th birthday and died in 2020.

【3】What do we know about Saturn while he was in Moscow?

A．He was kept a pet there.

B．He could remember all the keepers.

C．He lived a go-as-you-please life.

D．He got well-known as a picky eater.

【4】What makes Saturn a historical figure according to the text?

A．His story with Adolf Hitler.

B．His uncommon 84-year lifespan.

C．He will be on show after death.

D．He was identified as a history witness
