They used electronic ways to track the movement of the powerful fish from the Gulf of Mexico to the Mediterranean, and report today in the journal Nature that meals of sushi and sandwiches with tuna worldwide are more dangerous than anyone has imagined.The bluefin tuna can live for 30 years, grow to three metres inlength and weigh as much as 700kg. A good one can fetch as much as £ 52,000 in the Tokyo fish markets. “In my lifetime, we’ve brought this big fish to the doorstep of death in the western Atlantic Ocean,” said Barbara Block of Stanford University in California. “The electronic way of tracks provides the best scientificinformation we’ve ever had to manage these tuna and we must, as an international community, start to act actively to make sure of the future of this fish. ”Scientists have repeatedly said that the harvest of the seas cannotbe as good as before. There are fewer and fewer fish in around Newfoundland, North Sea and Iceland, so fishermen have pushed further offshore in search of deep ocean fish. Tuna—in the Mediterranean and Japan—have been under increasing pressure for years. TheInternational Commission on the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna hastried to manage the fish since 1969．There are two populations a western one that has dropped by 80% in the past 30 years, and a larger, eastern population. Although catches are controlled by 3,000 tons a year in the western fishery, and 32,000 in the east, no one knew whether the limits worked.So Professor Block and her team placed tracks on hundreds of the fish and tracked them to depths of more than 900 metres and on journeys of thousands of miles, measuring the movement, body and water temperatures. “There are two ways to save the Atlantic bluefin tuna—protect them in their production grounds and in their feeding grounds,” Prof. Block said. “This will need immediate action inboth the central Atlantic, to reduce the loss of the big fish while hunting, and in the Gulf of Mexico and Mediterranean, where tuna produce as separate populations. ”60. The bluefin tuna in this passage mainly refers to the one _______.A．in the Atlantic B．in the PacificC．in the Gulf of Mexico D．in the Mediterranean61. Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage?A．The bluefin tuna is a kind of large and heavy fish.B．The number of the bluefin tuna in the sea is getting smaller and smaller.C．Scientists are worried about the future of the tuna.D．Scientists think that the harvest of the seas will remain good.62. According to Professor Block, tuna can be saved by ______.A．finding a new way to protect themB．controlling the catches of themC．reducing the population to eat themD．protecting them in their production and feeding grounds63. The purpose of the passage is to ______.A．tell people a new way has been found to save the bluefin tunaB．call for action to save the bluefin tunaC．warn people not to eat tuna sandwiches anymoreD．help scientists to find a new way to save the bluefin tunaCThe reasons for going to college have been accepted without question for more than a generation．All high school graduates ought to go because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people，and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go·But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone．And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending，those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous，and moreobvious．College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis；college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate schoo1．Others find no stimulation in their studies，and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators．Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much．But that’s a criticize of the students as a whole，and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness．Others blame the state of the world，and they are partly right．We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-old either．Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best，the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school．We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down，it seems，and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences．Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent，ambitious，happy , liberal，or quick to learn things-maybe it's just the other way around，and intelligent，ambitious，happy, liberal，quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place．And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not．This is heresy（异端）to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good，more has to be much better．But contrary evidence is beginning to gradually increase in amount．64. What does the author believe according to the passage?A. People used to question the value of college education．B. People used to have full confidence in higher education．C. All high school graduates went to college．D. very few high school graduates chose to go to college65. In the second paragraph，“those who don’t fit thepattern”refers toA. high school graduates who aren’t suitable for college educationB. college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxisC. college students who aren’t any better for their higher educationD. high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college66. Why does the drop-out rate of college students seem to go up?A. Young people are disappointed with the conventional way of teaching at college.B．Many young people are required to join the army．C．Young people have little motivation in pursuing a higher education．D．Young people don’t like the intense competition for admission to graduate school．67. In this passage the author argues that ．A．more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for high school graduatesB. college education is not enough if one wants to be successfulC. college education benefits only the intelligent，ambitious，and quick-learning peopleD. intelligent people may learn quicker if they don’t go to collegeDOne of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that, and it is even harder to say ,"I was wrong, and you were right about that. "I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighbourhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons（in many countries, eggs are sold by the dozen and are put in cartons）. Then he related an incident and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing.I was about eight years old at that time. I went into the store with my mother to do some shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put there about four feet high. I must have stopped in front of the poles of egg cartons. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the eggs back together, so I went to work.The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs broken, but to him it looked as though I was the one who just did it. He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I tried to explain, but it did not good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, it is plain that the manager did not.68. According to the passage, many people will have a good opinion of those who ______.A. often make mistakes but correct them in no time.B. have never made any mistakesC. admit their mistakesD. forget other people's mistakes easily.69. Which is the correct order of the following events?a. . I forgot all about the incidentb. I went into the store.c. a woman knocked off the egg cartonsd.
