分析：該段第一句的意思是，很多人認為鯊魚是危險的，總是試圖傷害甚至威脅人類的性命。選項C的意思是：實際上，世界上400多種(鯊魚)中94%的鯊魚對人類是無害的。此句的意思和第一句聯(lián)系起來語意通順，合乎邏輯，而且后面內容與之聯(lián)系起來也是渾然一體，故選C。

分析：此段的第一句被刪除了，要求考生補全?？崭窈竺媾e例說明過去8至15年內鯊魚種群消亡了多少，選項B(A shocking 100million sharks are killed every year around the world by humans.)顯然是本段的主題句，概括本段的意思，故B為正確答案。
And many others get caught in nets(用網(wǎng)捕魚)，while(而) fishermen are hunting other fish. (49)
分析：空格前面講的是漁民們捕殺鯊魚的事情，選項F具體談到被捕殺的鯊魚有多大，選項F與前面敘述的內容形成一種邏輯上的連貫關系，故F為正確答案。
“Some fishing methods(方法) are actually cleaning out(清理) the ocean for sharks，”said Dave Schofield， the manager of the aquarium’s ocean health program . (50)
分析：文章最后一段談到現(xiàn)在的一些捕鯊方式快把鯊魚捕盡了，選項D的意思是：這種情況令人擔憂，有些地區(qū)已經(jīng)采取措施來保護這些特殊的鯊魚(It is a worrying situation and some areas have put measures in place t0 protect these special fish.)，可見D是正確的。
