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 obvious 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 doubtful．“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?”
64．Dr．Sylvia Earle discourage people from eating fish because _____________.
A．there are not that many wild fish in the ocean
B．fish actually are sensitive and have personalities
C．some ocean fish contain poisonous substances
D．fish are like dogs or cats that people know personally
65．We can infer from the passage that _____________.
A．all people don’t agree with the idea to stop eating fish
B．people will be persuaded not to eat fish in the future
C．stopping eating fish will lead to people’s not eating vegetables
D．we shouldn’t care too much about the feeling of fish
66．By saying “There’s a lot more to fish than meets the eye,” the writer means ____________.
A．there are far more fish than other animals in the world
B．there are more fish in the world than people can see
C．people can see more fish if they pay more attention
D．fish are not that simple as they appear to people’s eyes

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

When I was a kid, I always used to wonder how in the world my father work outside in the winter without a coat. It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there’d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping some wood --- his coat thrown aside--- wearing a shirt , a cap, and a pair of gloves.

“Aren’t you cold, Dad?” I’d ask. “No,” Dad would reply. “I’m not cold--- working too hard to be cold.”

Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.

One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day—and bitterly cold.

After we’d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.

“ Daddy, my feet are cold.” I said.

“Yeah, it’s cold out here today,” he replied.

“Tell you what,” he said. “Walk around. Make some circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm.”

Now, I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, “How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind.

But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold.

Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. “Aren’t you cold?” my husband asked one winter day. “No,” I replied. “I’m not cold—working too hard to be cold.”

I hope my husband has decided I’m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I’m foolish.

Wherever Dad is in that great big farm in the sky—I’m sure he can’t help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I’m working outside in the winter.

51. When the author’s feet felt cold, her father advised her to____.

A. go home alone first        B. keep walking in the snow

C. draw pictures in the snow    D. light a fire on the ice

52. Hearing her father’s advice, the author thought her father____.

A. forgettable      B. warm-hearted         C. crazy              D. cruel

53. What might the author’s husband think of her?

A. Tough            B. Smart                    C. Brave             D. Foolish

54. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ______.

A. remember her tough and smart father

B. show how her father cared about her

C. describe memories of her childhood

D. explain why her father loved her so much
