Summary (4)

文章内容回顾从新西兰珊瑚鱼的特征和栖息地谈到如何对其进行有效的保护。

Coral reef fish are fish which live amongst or in close relation to coral

reefs. Coral reefs form complex ecosystems with tremendous

biodiversity. Among the myriad inhabitants, the fish stand out as

particularly colorful and interesting to watch. Hundreds of species

can exist in a small area of a healthy reef, many of them hidden or

well camouflaged. Reef fish have developed many ingenious

specializations adapted to survival on the reefs.

Coral reefs occupy less than one percent of the surface area of the

world oceans, but still they provide a home for 25 percent of all

marine fish species. Reef habitats are a sharp contrast to the open 相关英文原文阅读water habitats that make up the other 99% of the world oceans.

However, loss and degradation of coral reef habitat, increasing

pollution, and overfishing including the use of destructive fishing

practices, are threatening the survival of the coral reefs and the

associated reef fish.

As an example of the adaptations made by reef fish, the yellow tang

is a herbivore which feeds on benthic turf algae. They also provide

cleaner services to marine turtles, by removing algal growth from

their shells. They do not tolerate other fish with the same color or

shape. When alarmed, the usually placid yellow tang can erect

spines in its tail and slash at its opponent with rapid sideways

movements.

填空题(4)

文章内容回顾亚斯兰蒂斯这一区域之前是没有种植业的，通过研究当地的地理特质，根据这些调研进行分析并判断这一地区是否适宜农耕。

Atlantis is the name of a fictional island mentioned within an allegory on the hubris of nations in Plato's works Timaeus and Critias, where it represents the antagonist naval power that besieges "Ancient Athens", the pseudo-historic embodiment of Plato's ideal state (see The Republic). In the story, Athens was able to repel the Atlantean attack, unlike any other nation of the (western) known world, supposedly giving testament to the superiority of Plato's concept of a state. At the end of the story, Atlantis eventually falls out of favor with the gods and famously submerges into the Atlantic Ocean.

Despite its minor importance in Plato's work, the Atlantis story has

had a considerable impact on literature. The allegorical aspect of

Atlantis was taken up in utopian works of several Renaissance

writers, such as Bacon's New Atlantis and More's Utopia. On the

other hand, 19th-century amateur scholars misinterpreted Plato's

account as historical tradition, most notably in Donnelly's Atlantis:

The Antediluvian World. Plato's vague indications of the time of the

events—more than 9,000 years before his day—and the alleged

location of Atlantis—"beyond the Pillars of Hercules"—has led to
