D
Sharks have gained unfair reputation for being large fierce sea animals. Human beings’s unfounded fear and hatred of these ancient creatures are leading to a worldwide slaughter （大屠杀）, which may result in the extinction （绝种） of many larger, coastal shark species. The shark is the victim of a warped （有偏见的） attitude of wildlife protection; we fight only to protect the beautiful, non-threatening parts of our environment. And, in our efforts to bring back only non-threat parts of our earth, we ignore other important parts.
A perfect illustration of this attitude is the contrasting attitude towards another large sea animal, the dolphin. During the 1980s, environmentalists in the Linked States objected to the practice of hunting tuna （金枪鱼） in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also caught dolphins. The environmentalists place enough political and economic pressure to prevent tuna companies from buying tuna that had been caught in drift nets. In contrast to this effort, the populations of sharks in the Pacific Ocean have decreased to the point of extinction and there has been very little effort by the same environmentalism to save this important species of wildlife in water. Sharks are among the oldest creatures on earth, having survived in the seas for more than 350 million years. They are feeding on wounded or dying animals, thus performing an important role in nature of knocking 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 environment. It is time for humans, who may not survive another 1,000 years at the rate they are damaging the planet, to cast away their fears and begin considering the protection of sharks as creatures that may provide us with an understanding of our own survival.
68. How did the environmentalists manage to protect dolphins?
A. They prevented the fishermen from selling them at markets.
B. They only permitted the fishermen to catch them using nets.
C. They created some shelters where dolphins could be protected.
D. They used political and economic means to achieve their aim.
69. The underlined word "unfounded’ in Paragraph 1 probably means __ __.
A. not found in life B. not possessed in mind
C. not based on fact D. not likely to be started
70. Which of the following best describes the organization of this text?
A. Cause and effect. B. Time and space order.
C. Specific to general. D. Statement and example.
71. The text mainly tells us ___ _.
A. sharks have a bad reputation B. what are the oldest creatures
C. sharks need human protection D. humans prefer tuna to sharks
