A
A report by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is calling for urgent efforts to strengthen regulation of the seafood sector，fearing that the love for seafood is killing off dozens of species that rely on it for food.
语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了世界野生生物基金会的一份报告呼吁紧急加强对海产品行业的监管，人类对海产品的爱好对于海洋生物有着极大的负面影响。
Ⅰ.主题语篇阅读
Kate Norgrove，Executive Director of Advocacy and Campaigns at WWF-UK，said，“The ocean is the blue heart of our planet and we ignore its health at our peril.Protecting this precious resource should be the top priority of every single fishery around the world.”
The report，titled “Risky Seafood Business”，has quantified(量化) the total volume of seafood eaten by Britons for the first time.It claims that in 2019,887,000 tonnes of seafood was eaten by people in the UK—the equivalent(等量) of 5.2 billion portions of fish and chips.Whitefish，including haddock and cod，accounted for almost a third of the fish consumed.The vast majority of this seafood was fished or farmed outside of UK waters.
The report looked at the supply chains of 33 popular seafood items，including haddock，trout，and mussels.Some of these species were found to be relatively low risk in terms of production and consumption.However，others—including swordfish，tuna，and some crab species—were assessed as a high risk across multiple areas，including climate and ecosystem impacts.Across all species groups，more than 250 Endangered，Threatened and Protected (ETP) species have been directly impacted by fisheries supplying UK markets，according to the report.This includes whales，dolphins，seabirds，and sharks.
Based on the findings，WWF is calling for a “concerted and collaborative effort” to address these issues and to ensure all of the seafood produced and consumed in the UK comes from sustainable sources by 2030.
If you’re trying to be more sustainable，the Marine Conservation Society suggests there are several simple seafood swaps(替换) you can make.This includes having mackerel instead of tuna，and farmed trout instead of salmon.Meanwhile，if you usually enjoy mussels，it may be more sustainable to go for prawns.
1.What can be inferred from what Kate Norgrove said
A.Protecting the ocean is the best choice of every single fishery.
B.Ignoring the health of the ocean will endanger our own well-being.
C.Protecting those precious resources is of great importance.
D.If we ignore our health，it will come at a great cost to our life.
√
推理判断题。根据第二段可知，凯特·诺格罗夫说：“海洋是我们星球的蓝色心脏，我们自冒风险地忽视了它的健康。保护这一宝贵资源应该成为世界上每一个渔场的首要任务。”由此可推断，凯特·诺格罗夫认为忽视海洋的健康，将会使我们人类面临危险，故选B。
解析
2.According to paragraphs 3 and 4，what do we know about the report
A.Some species were found to be high risk to humans.
B.The vast majority of this seafood was fished or farmed in UK waters.
C.The total amount of seafood consumed in the UK equals the portions of
fish and chips.
D.Over 250 species have been directly affected by fisheries supplying UK
markets.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Across all species groups，more than 250 Endangered，Threatened and Protected(ETP) species have been directly impacted by fisheries supplying UK markets，according to the report.”可知，超过250种物种直接受到供应英国市场的渔业的影响。故选D。
解析
3.How are the facts stated in the report
A.By listing figures.
B.By explaining reasons.
C.By introducing a concept.
D.By making predictions.
√
推理判断题。根据第三段中“It claims that in 2019,887,000 tonnes of seafood was eaten by people in the UK—the equivalent(等量) of 5.2 billion portions of fish and chips.”以及第四段中“The report looked at the supply chains of 33 popular seafood items，including haddock，trout，and mussels.”可知，文章主要通过列数据的方式来阐述事实。故选A。
解析
4.What is the passage mainly about
A.Britain’s love for seafood is threatening many species directly.
B.A WWF report calls on Britons to stop killing off species in the ocean.
C.WWF is urging immediate action on stronger seafood regulation.
D.Protecting the blue heart of our planet is a tough task.
√
主旨大意题。通读全文尤其根据第一段可知，世界野生动物基金会的一份报告呼吁紧急加强对海产品行业的监管，担心人们对海产品的热爱正在杀死数十种以海产品为食的物种，后文具体介绍了这份报告，可推知本文主要是关于世界自然基金会敦促立即采取行动，加强海产品监管。故选C。

The ocean is a rich and seemingly lawless frontier.It’s a watery wild west，irresistible to humans hoping to rob its many riches.That is the point throughout The High Seas：Greed，Power and the Battle for the Unclaimed Ocean，a fast-paced and thoroughly reported book by science journalist Olive Heffernan.
语篇解读　本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了由科学记者Olive Heffernan 所著的The High Seas：Greed，Power and the Battle for the Unclaimed Ocean一书，包括其主题、内容、结构等信息。
The book begins by going rapidly through the waves of history that brought us to today.Then Heffernan devotes a chapter each to different ways people are increasingly occupying international waters，an expansion called the Blue Acceleration.Some are hunting for new fishing grounds.Others are searching for new medicines in the DNA of deep-sea living things.Still others are exploring how to boost the ocean’s carbon uptake to help slow climate change.Even the space industry wants a piece of the ocean—to create watery graveyards for useless spacecraft.
The switching from one ocean ambition to another emphasizes one of the book’s biggest takeaways：We’ve established an unstable new type of ocean ecosystem，and it is going to be incredibly difficult—maybe impossible—to balance all the priorities while also protecting ocean health and biodiversity.
Conflicting desires to rob the sea and protect it show up over and over again.“Nations urging conservation in one area may push for increasing exploration in another，” Heffernan writes.The European Union in 2021，for example，offered prizes to its fishing boats to range farther offshore，even as it committed to sustainable fishing.Nations promising to protect sea life and fighting climate change may be the same countries that support deep-sea mining，which may be harmful to life on the ocean floor.“The problem，” Heffernan says，“isn’t that the high seas are without any rules.Rather，organizations and bodies each use their own rulebook.”
By the final chapter—“Hope for the high seas”—it’s hard to know what anyone could actually do to help save the ocean.“We’re at a crucial crossroads，” Heffernan writes.“We can continue going ever deeper and further offshore in our search for new sources of wealth，or we can strike a more sustainable balance，” she added.
5.What might the Blue Acceleration refer to
A.The extensive exploration of oceans.
B.The negative influence of climate change.
C.The rapid expansion of oceanic research.
D.The increased competition in space industry.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Then Heffernan devotes a chapter each to different ways people are increasingly occupying international waters，an expansion called the Blue Acceleration.”可知，“Blue Acceleration”指的是前文人们正加速占领国际水域，即人类对海洋的广泛探索。故选A。
解析
6.What might be the reason for “conflicting desires” according to Heffernan
A.The greed of human nature.
B.The absence of ocean laws.
C.The lack of a consistent ocean policy.
D.The gap in technological development.
√
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“‘The problem，’Heffernan says，‘isn’t that the high seas are without any rules.Rather，organizations and bodies each use their own rulebook.’”可推断出，掠夺海洋资源与保护海洋这两种相矛盾的欲望的原因在于缺乏一贯的全球性海洋政策，不同国家和组织在海洋利用和保护方面只遵循各自的规则。故选C。
解析
7.What can we know about Heffernan
A.She doubts international cooperation.
B.She cares about the ecological consequences.
C.She is optimistic about technological advancements.
D.She is certain of the success of ocean exploration.
√
推理判断题。根据文章中的描述，特别是第四段中“Nations promising to protect...deep-sea mining，which may be harmful to life on the ocean floor.”和最后一段中“‘We’re at a crucial crossroads...or we can strike a more sustainable balance，’ she added.”可推断出，Heffernan担忧海洋过度开发带来的生态失衡的后果。故选B。
解析
8.What is the text
A.A news report. B.A book review.
C.A research paper. D.A policy proposal.
√
