(C) Big ocean (海洋) fish have almost disappeared from the world since the start of business fishing in the 1950’s. The scientists found that the number of large fish has dropped by 90 percent in the past fifty years. The study took ten years. The researchers collected records from fishing businesses and governments around the world. The magazine Nature published the findings. Scientists say the common way called longline fishing is especially harmful to large fish. This way includes many fishing lines that are connected to one boat. If these lines are joined together, they can reach one hundred kilometers long. They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks to catch fish. Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry. Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks. The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks. The scientists say business fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past. The study suggests that large fish can disappear almost completely from new fishing areas within ten to fifteen years. It could destroy ocean life systems. It’s reported that the number of large fish is becoming smaller and smaller. That is not the only worry. What’s worse, they are smaller in size than their ancestors (祖先). 66.

A. Longline fishing. B. Japanese fishing industry. C. Modern fishing ways. D. Worrying situation of big ocean fish. (D) A popular shopping bag has been seen on the arm of some of the world’s most beautiful women. It sells at an official (官方的) price of ￡5, but as much as ￡400 online. The bag called “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” is made of cotton. It is so “hot” that now everyone wants to get one. It’s fashionable, and it’s green! Supporters see the bag as a way to move away from throwaway (一次性的) plastic bags that are given away in large numbers by supermarkets every year. When the bags were first sold, about 500 people waited in line to buy one. So far, 20,000 of the popular bags have been sold at the second largest supermarket in Great Britain. It is one of the ways to encourage shoppers to use the reusable (可再利用的) bags, rather than the plastic ones. The bag has also become a must-have for many famous people who want to be fashionable, and at the same time care about the environment. The designer of the bag has been asked to develop the bag by the “We Are What We Do” group. The group believes that each person in Great Britain uses about 167 plastic bags every year. It says that small lifestyle changes can have a strong effect on reducing waste and the environmental pollution. It also says that everyone should try his best to protect the earth from being polluted. 71. We can buy the popular bag at a price of ￡5 _______________________.
