You are encouraged to answer as many questions as possible within the time allowed.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.The human footprint has become so large that it now leaves a permanent mark on the planet. We dominate Earth, changing its climate, destroying natural habitats and wiping out other species. The effects of our actions are not only visible on land but also extend to the oceans, where we have disrupted marine ecosystems.Our interference with the oceans has led to various problems, one of which is overfishing. According to a recent report released by the United Nations, over 90% of the world's fish stocks are currently overfished or fished to their biological limits, with only 7.1% considered to be at healthy levels.Overfishing is a result of excessive fishing efforts driven by increased demand for fish and improved fishing technologies. Large commercial fishing fleets, equipped with advanced equipment, are causing significant damage to marine ecosystems. These fleets often use large nets and long lines that can catch large quantities of fish in a single operation, but also catch many other marine animals, known as bycatch. Bycatch includes dolphins, turtles, seabirds, and other non-targeted species, many of which are endangered or protected.Furthermore, our demand for certain fish species has caused severe population declines and even the collapse of some fisheries. For example, the Atlantic Bluefin Tuna population has declined rapidly due to its high market value, leading to strict fishing regulations being imposed.In order to protect our oceans and preserve marine ecosystems, it is crucial to address the issue of overfishing. This requires international cooperation, improved fisheries management, and responsible consumer choices. By adopting sustainable fishing practices and supporting fishery regulations, we can ensure the long-term health and sustainability of our oceans.11. What does the author say about the human footprint?12. What is one of the problems caused by our interference with the oceans?13. What do we learn about overfishing from the recent UN report?14. What is mentioned as a cause of overfishing?15. What does the author suggest to address the issue of overfishing?篇三:完形填空Section CDirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.It was Sunday and we were waiting on the platform for the 16.35 train when an announcement said it was delayed.
