Sharks Mention the word shark to someone on the beach and you are bound to get a reaction.Sharks have been the most feared predator of the ocean. Sharks are fish. They have been around since the time of dinosaurs. They can be found in oceans all over the world, and they have also been found in some rivers and lakes.
One difference between most other fish and a shark is that most fish have bones and a shark has cartilage. Cartilage is tough, but it is not as strong as bone. Another difference is that the shark is only able to swim forward, while most fish can swim forwards and backwards. Fish also generally have slippery scales, while a shark has rough scales that feel like sandpaper.
There are many different types of shark. In fact, there are about 368 different types. The differences include color, habitat, behavior, and size. Sharks are also known for their very sharp teeth. They do not use their teeth to chew their food. Instead they swallow large chunks of food. They have five rows of teeth. If a tooth is broken, it is replaced by another tooth.
Sharks are carnivores, meaning that they eat meat. Sharks do not normally attack people. It seems like sharks attack people a lot, but the chances of getting stung by a bee or getting hit by lightning are greater. Even so, experts say it is important to keep an eye out for sharks when swimming in the ocean.

A. are good swimmers B. are carnivores
C. are the right size D. eat only plants
2. According to the passage, how are sharks different from most other fish?
A. They do not have scales
B. They are slow moving
C. They are camouflaged
D. They are not able to swim backwards
3. Why did the author include the first paragraph?
A. To generally introduce sharks

A. by no teeth B. by another tooth
C. by other teeth D. by every tooth
5. Sharks are carnivores, meaning that_________.
A. they eat meat B. they eat other fish only

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.

Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours. There are two very different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways. The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks, have become flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great “wings”. They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical and “the right way up”. Conversely, fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way. There are bony fish which have a marked tendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much “taller” then they are wide. They use their whole, vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through the water as they move. Therefore, when their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their bellies. However, this raises the problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was effectively useless – In evolution this problem was solved by the lower eye “moving” around the other side. We see this process of moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish. It starts life swimming near the surface, and is symmetrical and vertically flattened, but then the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted fashion, so that one eye, for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards, and old Picasso – like vision. Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on the left, and others on either side.

The author mentions skates and rays as examples of fish that _______.

A. become asymmetrical

B. appear to fly


 

C. have spread horizontally

D. resemble sharks

Đáp án C.

Key words: skates and rays, examples.

Clue: The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks, have become flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great “wings”. They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical: Những chiếc giày trượt và cá voi, những người họ hàng của cá mập, đã trở nên dẹt (có thể được gọi một cách rõ ràng. Cơ thể của chúng đã phát triển sang hai bên để tạo thành những bộ “cánh” tuyệt vời. Chúng trông như thể chúng đã được làm phẳng nhưng vẫn giữ được đối xứng

Phân tích:

A. become asymmetrical: trở nên xoắn đối – Sai vì loài cá này đối xứng kép.

B. appear to fly: có thể bay – Sai vì những chiếc cánh ở đây để trong ngoặc kép, không phải giống cánh thật.

C. have spread horizontally: trải rộng sang ngang – Đúng. “Spread” là trải rộng dài, bài khóa đề cập đến những chiếc cánh lớn.

D. resemble sharks: trông giống cá mập – Sai vì loài cá đuối này chỉ có họ hàng với cá mập, ngoại hình của chúng không giống cá mập.

Vậy câu trả lời đúng là C. have spread horizontally.

Read the following passage and blacken the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

        Sharks have gained an unfair reputation for being fierce predators of large sea animals. Humanity's unfounded fear and hatred of these ancient creatures is leading to a worldwide slaughter that may result in the extinction of many coastal shark species. The shark is the victim of a warped attitude of wildlife protection; we strive only to protect the beautiful, non-threatening parts of our environment. And, in our efforts to restore only non-threatening parts of our earth, we ignore other important parts.

        A perfect illustration of this attitude is the contrasting attitude toward another large sea animal, the dolphin. During the 1980s, environmentalists in the United States protested the use of driftnets for tuna fishing in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also caught dolphins. The environmentalists generated enough political and economic pressure to prevent tuna companies from buying tuna that had been caught in driftnets. In contrast to this effort on behalf of the dolphins, these same environmentalists have done very little to help save the Pacific Ocean sharks whose population has decreased nearly to the point of extinction.

Sharks are among the oldest creatures on earth, having survived in the seas for more than 350 million years. They are extremely efficient animals, feeding on wounded or dying animals, thus performing an important role in nature of weeding out the weaker animals in a species. Just the fact that species such as the Great White Shark have managed to live in the oceans for so many millions of years is enough proof of their efficiency and adaptability to changing environments. It is time for US humans, who may not survive another 1,000 years at the rate we are damaging the planet, to cast away our fears and begin considering the protection of sharks as an important part of a program for protection of all our natural environment.

How did environmentalists manage to protect dolphins?

A. They prevented fishermen from selling them for meat.

B. They pressured fishermen into protecting dolphins by law.

C. They brought political pressure against tuna companies.

D. They created sanctuaries where dolphin fishing was not allowed.

Những nhà hoạt động môi trường gây ra đủ sức ép chính trị và kinh tế đế ngăn các công ty cá ngừ thu mua cá được bắt bởi lưới kéo.

A. They prevented fishermen from selling them for meat: họ ngăn ngư dân bán cá heo để lấy thịt

B. They pressured fishermen into protecting dolphins by law: họ gây áp lực bằng luật pháp đ buộc ngư dân bảo vệ cá heo

C. They brought political pressure against tuna companies: họ dùng sức ép chính trị để chống lại các công ty cá ngừ

It is time for US humans, who may not survive another 1,000 years at the rate we are damaging the planet, to cast away our fears and begin considering the protection of sharks as an important part of a program for protection of all our natural environment.

How did environmentalists manage to protect dolphins?

A. They prevented fishermen from selling them for meat.

B. They pressured fishermen into protecting dolphins by law.

C. They brought political pressure against tuna companies.

D. They created sanctuaries where dolphin fishing was not allowed.

Đáp án C.

Key words: environmentalists, protect, dolphins

Clue: “During the 1980s, environmentalists in the United States protested the use of driftnets for tuna fishing in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also caught dolphins. The environmentalists generated enough politic and economic pressure to prevent tuna companies from buying tuna that had been caught in driftnets”: Trong những năm 1980, những nhà hoạt động môi trường tại Mỹ đã phản đối việc sử dụng lưới kéo đế đánh bắt cá ngừ ở Thái Bình Dương vì những chiếc lưới này cũng bắt cả cá heo. Những nhà hoạt động môi trường gây ra đủ sức ép chính trị và kinh tế đế ngăn các công ty cá ngừ thu mua cá được bắt bởi lưới kéo.

A. They prevented fishermen from selling them for meat: họ ngăn ngư dân bán cá heo để lấy thịt

B. They pressured fishermen into protecting dolphins by law: họ gây áp lực bằng luật pháp đ buộc ngư dân bảo vệ cá heo

C. They brought political pressure against tuna companies: họ dùng sức ép chính trị để chống lại các công ty cá ngừ

D. They created sanctuaries where dolphin fishing was not allowed: họ tạo ra những khu bảo tồn nơi không cho phép đánh bắt cá heo

Những nhà hoạt động môi trường gây ra đủ sức ép chính trị và kinh tế để ngăn các công ty cá ngừ thu mua cá được bắt bởi lưới kéo do lưới kéo cũng bắt cả cá heo.

Vậy đáp án chính xác là đáp án C.

Fish that live on the sea bottom benefit by being flat and hugging the contours. There are two very different types of flatfish and they have evolved in very separate ways. The skates and rays, relatives of the sharks have become flat in what might be called the obvious way. Their bodies have grown out sideways to form great “wings” They look as though they have been flattened but have remained symmetrical and “the right way up”. Conversely fish such as plaice, sole, and halibut have become flat in a different way. There are bony fish which have a marked tendency to be flattened in a vertical direction; they are much “taller” than they are wide. They use their whole vertically flattened bodies as swimming surfaces, which undulate through the water as they move. Therefore when * their ancestors migrated to the seabed, they lay on one side than on their bellies. However, this raises the problem that one eye was always looking down into the sand and was effectively useless - In evolution this problem was solved by the lower eye “moving” around the other side. We see this process of moving around enacted in the development of every young bony flatfish. It starts life swimming near the surface, and is symmetrical and vertically flattened, but then the skull starts to grow in a strange asymmetrical twisted fashion, so that one eye for instance the left, moves over the top of the head upwards, an old Picasso - like vision. Incidentally, some species of 20 flatfish settle on the right side, others on the left, and others on either side

The author mentions skates and rays as examples of fish that:

A. become asymmetrical

B. appear to fly

C. have spread horizontally

D. resemble sharks
