Finding fish is going to get harder as climate change continues to heat the world’s oceans. A new study finds that warming seas over the past 80 years have reduced the sustainable（可持续的） catch of 124 species of fish and shellfish. Sustainable catch refers to the amount that can be harvested without doing long-term damage to the health of populations of some species.

Overfishing has made that decline worse, researchers say. Overfishing refers to catching so many fish that the size of the population falls. In some parts of the world, such as the heavily fished Sea of Japan, the decrease is as high as 35 percent. That’s a loss of more than one in every three fish.

Researchers examined changes in 235 populations of fish and shellfish between 1930 and 2020. Those fish populations spread far apart across 38 ocean regions. Temperature changes vary from one ocean site to another. But on average over that time, Earth’s sea-surface temperatures have risen by about half a degree Celsius.

On average, that warming has caused the sustainable catch to drop by 4.1 percent, the study found. About 8 percent of the fish and shellfish populations the team studied saw losses as a result of the ocean warming.

However, about 4 percent of some populations increased. That’s because certain species have thrived in warmer waters. One example is a kind of black sea fish. It lives along the northeastern U.S. coast. As warming continues, these fish will reproduce faster until they reach their limit.

About 3.2 billion people worldwide rely on seafood as a source of food. That means it’s urgent for commercial fishing fleets（舰队） and regulators （监管者） to consider how climate change is affecting the health of all of those fish in the sea.

24. What does the new study discover?

A. Overfishing is to blame for fish health.

B. Warming seas cause fewer fish and shellfish.

C. Seafood matters to people’s health worldwide.

D. The living regions of fish and shellfish are different.

25. What does the underlined word “thrived”in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Survived narrowly.

B. Disappeared soon.

C. Decreased sharply.

D. Developed quickly.

26. What do we know about species of fish and shellfish?

A. About 8 percent of them suffered from a great loss.

B. About 35 percent of them survived in the Sea of Japan.

C. About 3.2 billion species have been saved up to now.

D. About 80 species have died out because of warming seas.

27. From which is the text probably taken?

A. A cooking guide.

B. A science magazine.

C. A news review.

D. A health brochure.

C

She was returning from teaching out in a small community. It was a black, moonless night, and a heavy snow was falling.

She thought back to the time when she had first started teaching out in small communities. During those days she had always picked up hitchhikers (搭便车者), until the day her sister told her that one of her friends had been shot in the head by a hitchhiker, all because she had stopped out of kindness to help him during a storm.

Her family didn’t stop worrying about her safety over the hitchhikers until the family heard the promise: “No more hitchhikers!” The snow that night was making her think back to this.

Then she saw a man waving. She slowed down for him, but as he ran toward the car in the dark, she shook with fear. Yet she thought that if he was truly in need, she couldn’t leave him here in this storm.

The stranger explained that his car was dead, and she told him to get in. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a convenience store. She waited until he had made a call. When he reported back to her that a family member would soon come to pick him up, she wished him well and then left.

Tears fell on her cheeks as she drove away. It felt as though she had been holding her breath for an hour.

“I hope they’ll understand why I had to break my promise,” she thought.

28. What made the woman’s family worried about her safety?

B. She felt too tired to breathe.

C. She had been afraid of being with the stranger.

D. She had been too careful when driving in the storm.

Time: 7:00 A.M. Emily Stupi dives into (跳进) the pool. Cold water hits her, and it’s hard to catch her breath. Pulling her arms through the water, Emily begins her first of eight laps (圈). She wants to complete the triathlon (铁人三项).

sick, but he believed he was going to get better. Emily says, “Courage is something that all people have inside, and they use it to make the world a brave and happy place. My dad showed great courage when he got cancer.”

Emily asked a lot of questions about her father’s illness. Her mom says, “We had a family discussion and gave her all the facts. We talked about what cancer is and how money is raised for aid (援助) and research.”

Emily made a promise to herself and to her family that she would compete in the triathlon to raise money to help cancer patients. She trained hard for three months, swimming, running and biking several times a week. She then sent out 150 letters asking for donations (捐赠). Her dad matched the money, and Emily gave $7,000 to the American Cancer Society.

Emily says she was nervous on the day of the race. “My stomach felt weak, and the water was cold.” But Emily completed the race and lived u p to her promise to help fight cancer.
