Question

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的词数要求）。

[1] Fishing is probably the world’s most popular sport. People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs. And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime. Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it. Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby.

[2] Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby. Firstly, of the millions of people who fish for fun, most only catch enough fish to feed their families. They catch fish that are found in large numbers, so there is little danger to the species (种类).

[3] Secondly, recreational fishermen contribute to the economy. They spend money on equipment and other items, and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel. Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares. This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year.

[4] Thirdly, fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress. Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol, it is far better to go fishing. People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near ----- except for the smell of the bait!

[5] Those who _________________ say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers, lakes, streams and oceans. This could lead to the dying out of some species. Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world, so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females, leaving few fish to produce young.

[6] Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun. Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating, so they are thrown away. Once hooked, fish have no chance of escape.

Answer 1

【答案】

1.Different views on fishing

2.Fishing lovers catch fish found in large numbers

3.boats, vehicles, fishing equipment, bait, boat repairs, accommodation and airfares.(列出其中四项即可)

4.disagree with fishing (are against fishing)

5.A blood sport

【解析】

【文章大意】户外钓鱼是一种常见运动。有人赞美之，有人抨击之。赞美者称可怡情，可增财税，无灭鱼种之害；抨击者说有血腥，有断鱼类之险。

1.文章2--4段阐述户外钓鱼支持者的观点；5—6段提出户外钓鱼反对者的观点。

因此，根据结构可以得知整篇文章大意是和户外钓鱼观点相关。

2.第二段指出两个理由：①most only catch enough fish to feed their families.（钓鱼数量不多，够得全家一餐而已。）②They catch fish that are found in large numbers,（鱼量众多者为目标）。当然，主要是第二个做法起重要作用。

3.文章第一段提到People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs.（钓鱼者每年花钱的方面有：boats，four-wheel-drive vehicles fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs）；文章第三段指出Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares.（出外远程钓鱼者需支出accommodation，airfares）

4.第五段中谈及…lead to the dying out of some species(导致一些鱼类的灭绝) 和… leaving few fish to produce young.(有很少的鱼类可以繁殖)，可以判断该段讲的是反对钓鱼者的观点。再看第六段首句Those against fishing also say that…(那些反对钓鱼者也说……)。由此综合推测答案为disagree with fishing(are against fishing)

5.由…it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun.可以分析出该句是一定语主从复合句。which means that …为一非限定性定语从句。?意为“那意味着动物的死亡，人类可以从中得到欢乐。显然是修饰先行词a blood sport。那which关系词指代的是a blood sport。
