False Fear of Big Fish
Many people believe sharks(鲨鱼)are dangerous and will always try to hurt or even kill humans.___(1)
A shark exhibition at the National Aquarium(水族馆)in Baltimore，US，proves this.Visitors can touch young sharks.see their eggs develop and watch a dozen different species swim smoothly around a huge tank.
Most people fail to realize that shark attacks don’t happen very often.Humans are more likely to be killed by lightning than by a shark.___(2)There，kids Call learn，from an early age，not to fear sharks.
“People fear what they don’t know，”said Nancy Hotchkiss, an organizer of the exhibition.“Sharks have been around for 400 million years and play 1til important role in the ocean’s food chain.We want people to discover that sharks are amazing animals that need our respect and protection.’’
___(3)A study, published in January in the US magazine，Science，found that almost all recorded shark species have fallen by half in the past eight to 15 years.
Thousands of sharks are hunted in Asia for special foods，such as shark fin(鱼翅)soup.And many others get caught in nets，while fishermen are hunting other fish. ___(4)
“Some fishing methods are actually cleaning out the ocean for sharks，”said Dave Schofield， the manager of the aquarium’s ocean health program.___(5)
A They can watch them develop inside their eggs and feel the skin of the older swimmers
B A shocking 100 million sharks are killed every year around the world by humans.
C In fact, 94 percent of the world’s 400 species are harmless to humans
D It is a worrying situation and some areas have put measures in place to protect these special fish.
E And to make this point clear, the museum has set up a special touching pool for children.
F More than half of the sharks caught are smaller than 1 meter long.
标准答案： C,E,B,F,D
解析：1. C. 分析：根据句意：空格前句说“许多人相信。。”，在接下来的句子中提到“实际怎样。。”的描述是常见的逻辑发展结构(引出主题相关背景+ 点明文章主题)。因此判断答案为C。
提示：考察以in fact, but, however, on the contrary等结构引出的作者实际上真正想表达的意图是常见的考点之一。
2. E. 分析：空格后出现指示代词there，因此空格处应该出现there的指代内容，这样直接判断E(E中的the museum可以回应后句中出现的there， 而且the museum与前文中的the National Aquarium(水族馆)形成指代关系)合适。
3. B 分析：空格后说“一项研究发现几乎所有有记录的鲨鱼物种在过去8-15年间数量都减少了一半。”该句在提供数字说明鲨鱼数量的减少，而B与之相呼应：B也是在讲述鲨鱼数量的减少(每年有10亿条鲨鱼被人类屠杀)。
4. F。分析：空格前句中提到的“被网捕住”与F中的“被逮住的鲸鱼一半左右都没有一米长”在内容上呼应。
5. D. 分析：空格位于文章最后一句，所以应该在这个位置出现观点句的内容，因此判断D正确(观点句，而且提到应该采取的应对这个问题(捕鲸过度)的措施)。

第6部分：完型填空 (每题1分，共15分)
阅读下面的短文，文中有15处空白，每处空白给出了4个选项，请根据短文的内容从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，并涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
London Cabbies
Every city in the world has taxi to take tourists to interesting places. London is the only city in the world where taking a taxi is an __1__ experience for tourists. This is partly because of the special black cabs, which are found in no other country. But it is also because of the drivers themselves. __2__ British people are famous for being polite and reserved, London cabbies are well known __3__ their willingness to talk.
Some customers say that once the door shuts and the cab __4__ off they are a captive audience. It is impossible to get the taxi driver to stop __5__. “They’re self-confident and free thinking,” said Malcolm Linskey, the author of a history of taxi drivers in London.
They are also expensive. London has the most expensive taxis of any city in the world except Tokyo. That’ why Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, is planning to make taxi drivers negotiate their fares with __6__ before they take a ride.
Drivers agree that their fares are expensive. That’s because their black taxis __7__ more than other cars, they say. And the customer is also paying for a more driving expertise than anywhere else in the world.
Before someone can qualify as a London taxi driver, that person has to pass a test __8__ simply as “The Knowledge”. This involves __9__ the name and location of every street within six miles of a point in the exact center of London. The trainee must also learn the exact location of every important building within these streets. Finally he or she must be able to use this knowledge to work out the __10__ distance between any two destinations within this area.
It can __11__ up to three years to pass “the knowledge”. Every day it is possible to see trainee taxi drivers on the streets of London, taking careful notes of popular destinations before tracing the route to their next stop. Cab driving is a job often __12__ down in families. Many taxi drivers take their children out in their spare time to memorize __13__ they need to know when it is their turn to “do the knowledge”.
The effect of this is to make London cabbies experts at their job. They also have bigger brains. Recent research found that the part of the brain that remembers things was larger and more __14__ in cab drivers. They have to fit the whole of London into their heads, so their brains grow bigger. So perhaps it is not __15__ that taxi drivers have lots to say.
1. A. rewarding B. interesting C. happy D. delightful
2. A. Before B. After C. When D. While
3. A. for B. as C. of D. at

标准答案： B,D,A,C,D
解析：1. A. rewarding (有益的， 值得的) B. interesting C. happy D. delightful(令人愉快的)
B. 分析：因为C和D词义接近， 因此彼此排除掉。 空格前是不定冠词an， 因此空格处的词语的首字母发音应该以元音， 因此B是答案。
提示：语法考点在完型部分仅限于对连词和从句结构进行考察， 所以冠词的使用这个考点不会在考题中出现。
This is partly(部分地，在一定程度上) because of (因为)the special (特殊的， 专门的)black(黑色的) cabs(出租车), which are found (被发现)in no(没有) other(其他的，)其他人) country(国家).

2. A. Before(在…之前) B. After(在…之后) C. When(在…的时候) D. While(在…期间， 而)
2.D. 分析：空格2所在的句子是把前后两句内容进行对比：英国人是出了名的保守，而英国的司机却因愿意交谈而闻名， 因此空格出需要填入能使前后句在句意上形成对比的连词， 因此D(而)是答案。
补充：
Where/whereas: 然而， 但是
e.g. Some people like fat meat, whereas others hate it.
3. A. 解析：be famous/known/well-known/noted for…因为…而出名

5. A. arguing (争论， 辩论) B. saying(说, 讲) C. telling(告诉) D. talking(谈话, 谈论，讲话)

补充：
argue for 赞成;
argue against 反对
argue with 与某人议论
saying n. 格言;谚语;名言
e.g. There is (有) a saying that behind(在…的后面)every successful(成功的) man(男人) there's a woman(女人).

补充：
It takes/took time/money (for sb.) to do sth./(某人)花…时间/金钱做…
e.g. It takes a lot of (大量的) money to buy(购买) a house(房子).

13. A. roads (道路， 公路) B. routes (线路， 路程) C. streets (街道) D. lanes(小路， 小巷)
13.B. 解析：前文中已经出现过route， 因此B很可能是答案(完型部分常见考点：上下文中的用词)。 空格所在的句子说“许多的出租车司机在空闲时间带他们的孩子外出， 以记住当轮到他们参加线路测试时他们需要记住的…”， 根据上文相关内容判断route(线路)是答案。

15.A. 解析：空格所在的句子说“因此为什么出租车司机有这么多可说的这一问题就不…了”，因此判断A和B在词义上合适， 但是wonder(想知道， 对…感到惊讶)的逻辑主语只能是“人”，而句子的主语是it (非人)， 因此A是答案
