　　Sharks frighten most of us, but Daniel Weaver, a shark scientist, swims with them for a living! We asked him some questions about this unusual job．

　　So Daniel, what’s it like to be a shark scientist?

　　Well, it’s a great job．I often travel to faraway places like South Africa and Fiji to study sharks．On the other hand, a shark scientist sometimes does boring desk work, such as writing reports．Also, shark scientists don’t usually get paid a lot．

　　What qualities(品質)do you need to become a shark scientist?

　　Shark scientists need to be wise and strong．They enjoy working outdoors and they have to be cool and patient(耐心)．They also have to be quite brave!

　　So do you think it’s a dangerous job?

　　Well, sharks have up to 15 rows of sharp teeth．However, sharks hardly attack(攻擊)humans．There are over 350 kinds of sharks in the world and only about 10 are dangerous to us．In fact, dogs kill more people every year than sharks! Humans kill over 12 million sharks a year for food and sport!

　　How do you become a shark scientist?

　　A shark scientist usually studies Marine Science or Zoology at university．It’s also good to get some work experience in an aquarium(水族館)．In my opinion, I have the best job in the world!

　　A shark is a large, fierce fish that eats other fish．What will you do if you meet a shark while you are swimming? One man who knows all about sharks has given some rules to help you swim safely．

　　Don't swim in water where there are sharks．But if you do, stay close to shore．Sharks in deep water are the hungriest, and hungry sharks are dangerous．

　　If you see a shark, swim slowly to the shore．He is one of the fastest fish in the sea．You could never swim faster than a shark．

　　If Mr．Shark comes too close, put your head under water and shout,“Go away, get lost!”He can't hear what you say, but the sound under water makes him afraid．

　　But what to do if he still keeps coming after you? Then you should try to hit him on the nose．You see, it hurts him the most．If he comes back, do the same thing again．

　　Sharks are found mostly in the warm water of the sea．And there are sharks big enough to ride on in deeper water almost everywhere．But if you want to go for a ride, jump on your bike．It will be much safer．

閱讀理解

　　Is the whale the world's largest fish? No．It looks like a fish, but it is really a mammal(哺乳動物)．Then what's the world's largest fish? It's the whale shark．

　　Although the whale shark is our biggest fish and lives in many oceans around the world, few people have ever heard of it．Scientists have not been studying whale sharks for very long．Much more needs to be learned about them．

　　A whale shark is sometimes called a “gentle giant(溫柔的巨人)”．It likes to be alone and doesn't care a bit about divers or humans．The biggest whale shark weighed 24,250 pounds and was nearly 40 feet long．This makes it heavier and longer than a school bus．

　　Inside its huge mouth are great numbers of very small teeth．To count all of them, you'll need to do some math．The whale shark's teeth are arranged in rows．There are between eleven and thirteen rows on each jaw(顎)and around three hundred teeth in each row．

　　However, the whale shark hardly uses its teeth．It does not chew or bite its food．Large amounts of water are pulled into its mouth and then pushed out through its gills(鰓)．

　　For a few months every year, a group of whale sharks comes to Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia．This gives scientists a wonderful chance to study the large fish．Whale sharks do live in other oceans of the world, but no one knows their population．It is possible that our biggest fish may need protecting．It is one of the reasons why scientists continue to learn all they can about these gentle giants．

(1)

Little is known about whale sharks because scientists ________．

[　　]

A．

are not interested in learning about them

B．

C．

B．

They leave divers alone．

C．

They have small eyes．

D．

They live in many oceans．

(3)

How does the writer help us know what the whale shark's mouth looks like?

[　　]

A．

B．

By describing colors．

C．

By comparing sizes．

D．

By using numbers．

閱讀理解

　　We sometimes say the lion is “the king of the jungle(叢林)” because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt(捕獵) the best. The lion is the highest animal in the land food chain. In the sea, the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.

　　What is at the top of the world's food chain? People are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars and now we can move the fastest. We could not fight better than a lion, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best.

　　People's inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, many years ago in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat wild rabbits. But in recent(近來的) years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming bigger and bigger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed(競爭) for the grass with the sheep and cows. Much of the grassland became desert because it was seriously destroyed(毀壞) by the rabbits.

　　Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! If we protect animals, we are protecting ourselves.

1．How many kinds of food chains are mentioned in this passage?

[　　]

A．Two.
B．Three.
C．Four.
D．None.

2．Why are people at the top of the world's food chain?

[　　]

A．Because they can use guns.

B．Because they are the biggest.

C．Because they are the cleverest.

D．Because they can drive cars.

3．Which order of the pictures best describes the third paragraph?

[　　]

A．b, d, a, c, e
B．b, d, f, c, e
C．b, f, a, e, c
D．b, e, d, c, a

4．In what way do we say people's inventions can be sometimes dangerous?

[　　]

A．They can kill a lot of wild wolves.

B．They can destroy the food chain.

C．They can destroy the grassland.

D．They can make wild rabbits grow bigger and bigger.

5．What is the best title(標題) of the passage?

[　　]

A．People's inventions
B．Lions and sharks
C．Food chain
D．Desert
