Ⅱ.阅读理解
体裁：说明文 话题：电影 时间：7分钟
All Ric O Barry wants is to stop the dolphin－killing，so he is headed to this seaside Japanese town，Taiji.The American activist，who is the star of a new award－winning documentary that portrays the dolphin－killing here，got an unwelcome reception when he showed up here this week for the start of the annual hunt.
His movie，The Cove(海豚湾)，directed by National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos，was released in the United States a month ago but has not yet to come out in Japan.
Scenes in the film，some of which were shot secretly，show fishermen banging on metal poles stuck in the water to create a wall of sound that scares the dolphins— which have supersensitive sonar(声纳系统)—and sends them fleeing into a cove.
There，the fishermen sometimes pick a few to be sold for aquarium shows，for as much as $150，000.They kill the others，spearing(刺) the animals repeatedly until the water turns red.The meat from one dolphin is worth about 50，000 yen，and is sold at supermarkets across Japan.
Greenpeace and other groups have tried to stop the hunt for years.Activists hope The Cove will bring the issue to more people internationally—and eventually in Japan.
Already，the Australian town of Broome dropped its 28－year sister－city relationship with Taiji last month，partly because of the movie.
“Some regions have a tradition of eating dolphin meat，” said fisheries official Toshinori Uoya.“Dolphin－killing may be negative for our international image，but it is not something orders can stop.”
The town government in Taiji—which has made whales and dolphins its trademark—refused to comment about The Cove，or the growing international criticism against dolphin－killing.
Many in Taiji take the dolphin hunt for granted as part of everyday life.They are defensive about The Cove，seeing themselves as powerless victims of overseas pressure to end a simple and honest way of making a living.
【语篇导读】 日本血腥捕杀海豚的行为通过Ric O Barry的电影The Cove引起了国际社会的极大关注。
1．Ric O Barry made The Cove because he wanted to ________．
A．stop the dolphin－killing
B．win an international award
C．support Greenpeace's efforts
D．make Taiji well－known in the world
解析 文章第一段告知了我们“All Ric O Barry wants is to stop the dolphin－killing”，结合他的电影The Cove的内容可以看出，Ric O Barry制作这部电影的目的就是想阻挡世界上的海豚杀戮行为。
答案 A
2．Viewers can learn from The Cove ________．
A．the advanced techniques to catch dolphins
B．the cruel and bloody dolphin－killing
C．the beautiful Japanese seaside town Taiji
D．the sale of dolphin meat around the world
解析 由第四段该影片对捕杀海豚场景的描述“spearing(刺) the animals repeatedly until the water turns red”可以看出，海豚的杀戮是血腥(bloody)和残酷的(cruel)。
答案 B
3．What is the response to The Cove on the Japanese side?
A．Taiji broke up with its western sister－city Broome.
B．Japanese officials decided to ban dolphin－killing.
C．The town government in Taiji kept silent on criticism.
D．Most Japanese people were against eating dolphin meat.
解析 由倒数其次段“The town government in Taiji...refused to comment...”可知，日方对此事保持缄默，即kept silent。
答案 C
4．What does the underlined word “defensive” probably mean?
A．Feeling guilty for killing dolphins.
B．Protecting themselves against criticism.
C．Attacking those against dolphin－killing.
D．Making the determination to change.
解析 依据后面的seeing和句子可知，他们对自己的行为进行了辩解，认为自己的这种捕杀海豚的行为是一种诚恳的谋生方式，也就是说，他们是在为自己的这一血腥行为进行辩解。因此，该词应意为“爱护自己免受批判”。故选B。
答案 B
5．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Many people in Japan have seen The Cove in the cinema.
B．The Cove has not influenced Japan's international image.
C．Taiji's dolphin－killing industry has been seriously damaged.
D．The Cove has brought international attention to dolphin－killing.
解析 文章倒数第四段提到澳大利亚的一个城市也由于这部电影(because of the movie)终止了和日本捕杀海豚的城市Taiji之间的友好关系。由此可以推断，这部电影已经引起了国际上对捕杀海豚行为的关注。故选D。
答案 D

Dear David，
I am writing you this email because you're so busy every day with your studies and after－school acivities that we seldom have chances to talk face－to－face.There is something that I am very worried about.
You have always been an active boy，willing to help others and always looking for an opportunity to try something new or learn some thing different.I think these are wonderful qualities but I am concerned that they may be affecting your studies.In the past three months alone you have joined at least four different student clubs.I see these activities taking up more and more of your time.You're always discussing something with your classmates or surfing online.You're also devoting less time to homework and even your teachers say you are looking very sleepy in class.
I know that these kinds of activities are fun and can help your development，but I think they have started to damage your performance at school.Please remember the most important thing at this stage of your life in your studies.Right now you should do your best in your examinations as it will give you more choices in your future.I beg you to focus on your main goal and not to throw away all your years of hard work.
Your loving mother

Dear mum，
I've just received your email expressing your concern that I am being distracted from my studies because of my many after－school activities and the consequences of this for my future.
I appreciate what you say and am sorry to have caused you so much worry.I'm also touched that you understand my reasons for being attracted to such activities.
It's true that I have been spending a lot of time with these groups but please don't worry.I find that these groups help me to relax，develop my thinking and actually improve my school performance，although my teacher is right that I do sometimes feel tired in class.
For this reason，and to also relieve you of your worry，I have decided to limit my participation to only two groups this term.This way I can still enjoy the outside activities without affecting either you or my academic performance.
Love，
David
