Mre than a third f fd grwn in the U.S. ges uneaten, and that percentage has increased in the past five years.

Miami saltwater recreatinal fishing is a big part f Flrida’s turist ecnmy. Fishing enthusiasts take mre than 40 millin saltwater fishing trips each year in Flrida in hpes f getting a gruper (石斑鱼), snapper r mahi mahi. But strict regulatins n seasns and the species that can be taken mean that mre than half f the fish caught n a typical trip are returned t the water. Fishing guides and marine fisheries fficials are spreading the wrd hw t make sure the fish that are released live t fight anther day.
University f Flrida marine fisheries specialist Angela Cllins says when reef (珊瑚礁) fish that spend their time in deep water are brught t the surface, the gases in their bdies expand, smetimes greatly. They can experience bartrauma. “That’s when yu see the fish’s eyes sticking ut f its head r its stmach ppping ut f its muth,” Cllins says. “That bviusly can be harmful t the fish, in sme cases fatal.”
Peple wh fish in Flrida are nw required t have lng needles n bard t help reef fish release the pressure. But it’s als imprtant t attach smething called a descending (下降)tl t the fish. It’s a weight attaching t the fish’s lwer lip befre lwering it slwly back int the water. “This just shts it dwn really fast,” Cllins says. “It’s clsed until this gets t 100 feet. And it pps pen. And that just basically lets the fish swim ff.”
Cnn has perated party bats ut f Miami fr mre than 40 years. Saltwater recreatinal fishing has changed a lt during that time. “It used t be abut killing a lt f fish.” But then he says, “Regulatins came in. Sme flks didn’t fish as much when they weren’t able t cme hme with as many fish.” Nw, he says, sme cme ut fr a day n the water, t be with their friends and t maybe cme hme with a fish. Cnn says, “It’s fishing just fr what it is, it’s abut the experience.”
32. What des the underlined wrd “bartrauma” in paragraph 2 mst prbably refer t?
A. An injury caused by water.B. A life-threatening situatin.
C. A rare chance in life.D. An expansin f the species.
33. Why was a descending tl attached t the released fish?
A. T release the pressure fr it.
B. T take a gd use f the tl.
C. T help it sink t the bttm mre slwly.
D. T get it back dwn t its habitat rapidly.
34. What is the mst prbable cause fr the change f Miami saltwater recreatinal fishing?
A. Killing fish is ut f fashin.
B. Strict rules have been issued.
C. Interest in fishing is grwing.
D. Fishing industry is n the decline.
35. What can be the best title fr the passage?
A. When t Return Reef Fish t the Sea
B. What t D with Yung Fish in the Sea
C. Hw t Make Sure Released Reef Fish Survive
D. Hw t Prmte Saltwater Recreatinal Fishing
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. C
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了佛罗里达州的专家是如何在季节捕捞中安全地把生活在海底的、不应该捕捞的物种放生的。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词后文“That’s when yu see the fish’s eyes sticking ut f its head r its stmach ppping ut f its muth. That bviusly can be harmful t the fish, in sme cases fatal.(那时你会看到鱼的眼睛从头部凸出来，或者它的胃从嘴里冒出来。这显然会对鱼造成伤害，在某些情况下甚至是致命的)”可知，当深海里的珊瑚礁鱼类因从深水被钓至水面时体内气体膨胀导致的眼球突出、内脏外翻等致命性损伤，由此可推测出“bartrauma”指的是“一种危及生命的情况”。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“But it’s als imprtant t attach smething called a descending (下降)tl t the fish. It’s a weight attaching t the fish’s lwer lip befre lwering it slwly back int the water. “This just shts it dwn really fast,” Cllins says. “It’s clsed until this gets t 100 feet. And it pps pen. And that just basically lets the fish swim ff.”(但给鱼安装一种叫做“下降工具”的装置也很重要。这是一种在将鱼缓慢放回水中之前附在鱼下唇上的重物。柯林斯说：“这个工具能让鱼快速下沉。它会保持闭合状态，直到到达100英尺深的位置时才会弹开，这样鱼基本上就能游走了。”)”可知，把一个下降工具连接到释放的鱼身上是为了让它迅速回到栖息地。故选D。
【34题详解】

But I bet yu haven’t heard that it’s the fifth key language skill that all learners must develp—falling right in line with speaking, listening, reading and writing.(都听说过用外语思考是真正流利的标志。但我敢打赌，你没有听说过这是所有学习者必须发展的第五项关键语言技能——与说、听、读、写并列。)”可知，空前提到用外语思考是与说、听、读、写并列的第五项关键语言技能，故G项“和其他技能一样，用目标语言思考绝对是可以学习的。”符合，G项中的“the ther skills”指代空前的“speaking, listening, reading and writing”，用外语思考是所有学习者必须发展的第五项关键语言技能——与说、听、读、写并列，和其他技能一样，用目标语言思考绝对是可以学习的，需要的只是练习。故选G项。

【39题详解】
根据空前“If yu read bks written in the first persn, yu'll see direct benefits.(如果你阅读用第一人称写的书，你会看到直接的好处。)”可知，空前提到阅读用第一人称写的书，就会看到直接的好处，故此处应具体讲什么好处，故E项“显然，这些书给你的是主角的想法。”符合，说明阅读用第一人称写的书就能给你是主角的想法。故选E项。
【40题详解】
根据空前“Because jurnaling is writing dwn yur thughts, it gets yu int the habit f thinking in yur target language, especially if yu're finding thinking itself t be difficult at first. Basically, it’s just anther way t practice, althugh it’s slwer.(因为写日记就是写下你的想法，它能让你养成用目标语言思考的习惯，尤其是当你发现一开始思考本身很困难的时候。从根本上说，这只是另一种练习方式，尽管它更慢。)”可知，空前提出写日记是养成用目标语言思考的习惯，它是另一种练习方式，故A项“它也是一种写作练习！”是前文的顺义承接，写日记只是另一种练习方式，它也是一种写作练习。故选A项。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Surprise!” The mment I pened the dr, this cheerful shut filled my ears. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were clrful ballns all ver the huse, a big pster saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”, and a cake with 18 candles. It was a wnderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned eighteen, the legal age t becme an adult. My parents had been planning this party fr weeks, and it was perfect.
I was enjying the party laughing heartily and chatting with everyne when I nticed my dad g int anther rm. Minutes later, he reappeared, hlding a small bx. He handed it t me and said, “Sn, I’ve gt a truly special gift fr yu. It’s smething I’ve treasured fr ages, and nw, I believe, is the perfect mment t pass it n.” Curiusly, I wndered what culd pssibly be inside. I carefully pened the bx and discvered an ld, well-wrn diary. Initially, I culd barely hide my disappintment. I had secretly hped fr smething mre thrilling, perhaps a brand-new phne r a laptp. Hwever, as I began lking thrugh the pages, my interest gradually increased.
The diary was filled with stries abut my dad’s high schl days, his friends, his dreams, and the challenges he faced. There were entries abut his difficulties in studies, arguments with his parents. I culd see myself in many f his stries. It was amazing t realize that my dad had gne thrugh similar things when he was at my age.
As I read, ne entry caught my attentin. It was abut a time when my dad was in his senir year. He had been ffered a chance t g n a trip t anther cuntry with his classmates. It was a nce-in-a-lifetime pprtunity, but he was wrried abut the cst. His parents culdn’t affrd it, and he didn’t want t ask fr t much mney. He was really stuck in a dilemma.

I was intensely curius t knw whether he made the trip at last.

I began t realize that mney des nt cme easily.” I listened attentively, imagining my dad in that situatin. His wrds made me see him in a new light.
It was inspiring t hear he was able t slve the prblem n his wn. I realized that even thugh life is full f challenges, there are always ways t vercme them. Just like my dad, I shuld wrk hard t achieve my wn dream. Frm that mment n, I decided t face difficulties actively. Whether it’s in my studies r future plans, I wn’t quit easily. The diary, which I initially thught was a disappinting gift, turned ut t be the mst precius ne. It cnnected me with my dad’s past and taught me lessns that wuld stay with me frever as I stepped int adulthd.
