Researchers are worried about the fishing equipment floating around the Pacific Ocean. These ghost nets threaten sea animals and pollute coastal areas.

　　A ghost net study led by biologist Jennifer Lynch found it difficult in many cases to identify the source of the ghost nets. Lynch said she is not interested in blaming anyone. Instead，she hopes the study will find new ways to prevent damage to the environment.

　　Drew，a graduate student and one of the study’s  lead researchers，said his biggest concern is that the  equipment keeps killing fish and other wildlife long after it’s lost，leaving a path of ecological damage.

　　The ghost nets pollute oceans around the world，but the Hawaiian Islands are in the middle of two large areas of ocean pollution. It’s difficult to know where they came from. Experts believe many nets are lost accidentally. But some illegal fishing boats leave nets in the water to avoid being caught. Other fishermen cut away pieces of damaged nets instead of recovering them.

　　The research team gets some ghost nets from the Papahan-aumokuakea Marine National Monument，the largest protected environment in the United States，also recognised as a United Nations World Heritage Site. Researchers look at about 70 different features of each piece of net，including the kinds of material used，and find nets from all parts of the Pacific.

　　Brian，a fisherman now working for a net manufacturer in Washington，said nets from poor countries are usually weaker.

　　Jonathan Moore，one of the researchers，said  illegal and unreported fishing is sometimes associated with ghost nets and is among the greatest threats to oceans. Fishing net markings and rules，he added，should be“a central part of responsible fishing management operations”.

1. What is difficult for researchers in many cases of ghost nets?

A. Finding out the source of the nets.

B. Checking the harm done by the nets.

C. What fish and other wildlife are killed.

D. The length of the ecological damage.

2. What does the underlined word“they”in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The research experts.

B. The ghost nets.

C. The areas of pollution.

D. The Hawaiian Islands.

3. What does Jonathan suggest about fishing management?

A. Helping poor countries make strong nets.

B. Trying different materials for fishing nets.

C. Making rules about marking fishing nets.

D. Recovering the ghost nets after they’re lost.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A. Strict Ocean Fishing Management Is Needed

B. Ghost Nets Should Be Recovered from the Sea

C. A UN World Heritage Site in the US Is in Danger

D. Lost Fishing Equipment Threatens Ocean Life

Last year，four children waited for their school  bus every day for ten minutes，on the same dirty street corner. There were old bottles，parts of old bikes，and 　1　 soda cans everywhere around the  bus stop. The trees were brown and had no leaves，and there wasn’t a flower in sight. It was 　2　.

Ⅱ.阅读理解（4选1）

　 Even with an injured leg，a tall，grey-crowned crane（灰冠鹤） walks proudly through a bird shelter in the Rwandan capital Kigali. The shelter—called Umusambi Village—has rescued more than 200 cranes from captivity（囚禁）. Olivier Nsengimana founded the Umusambi Village in 2015，and runs it together with the government. Umusambi means“grey-crowned bird”in the Kinyarwanda language. In just four years，the organisation has helped to increase the population of these endangered birds from 487 to 881.

　　Before this work began，local neighbourhoods were hunting or catching the birds to sell，said Nsengimana. Nsengimana recently explained why this was possibly happening. In Rwanda，the bird is  often a symbol of high social position and wealth. So，they are often raised in private homes or hotels.

　　In fact，six years ago，he said there were more  cranes living in captivity in hotels and homes than in the wild. Nsengimana added that poverty and a lack of awareness（意识）of animal protection in the  local neighbourhoods also led them to catch and sell the birds illegally. He said raising awareness of their endangered position is helping to protect the birds.

　　For Nsengimana，his own love of the bird goes back to his childhood. He grew up in a village filled with grey crowned cranes. They not only woke up people in the morning，but they also provided entertainment.

　　Some of the rescued birds are brought to the village after being injured by illegal hunters. Others come from homes where their owners broke their legs or cut their wings to prevent them from flying away.

　　At Umusambi Village，the cranes are able to recover. When they are healthy enough to survive in their natural environment，Nsengimana sets them free in a protected forest. However，the cranes are still endangered by illegal hunting and by the destruction of their natural environment. This is happening not only in Rwanda，he said. Cranes are endangered in many other parts of the world，including North America.

1. What is a reason for the illegal selling of the birds?

A. Local people knew little about protecting them.

B. The government didn’t take measures.

C. Their population was too large.

D. They could bring good luck.

2. What happened to the cranes before Nsengimana took action?

A. They lost their homes.

B. Many of them got hurt.

C. They were used to tell time.

D. They were hunted for meat.

3. What may be the future of these rescued birds?

A. Staying in the village forever.

B. Being kept with kind people.

C. Moving to public parks.

D. Living in the wild.

4. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Man Reminds People to Protect Endangered Birds

B. Birds Become a Symbol of Wealth in Rwanda

C. Man Saves Endangered Birds in Rwanda

D. Birds Are Part of People’s Life in Rwanda
