I am a commercial fisherman in Alaska. It was an eye-opener to see the destruction and waste in the world’s fisheries. The Alaska salmon fisheries is very well managed, and we don’t see the destruction occurring elsewhere. Many local people complain of the many restrictive laws in the fishery, but after reading this article, I’m in favor of even stricter regulation. The sea is the basis for life on Earth, and we must take care of it.
Jimmy O’Brien:
You didn’t touch the fishing here in the U.S. where the fisherman is working under the harshest regulations on Earth and the strictest equipment restrictions. We are fishing in a fashion that is completely environmentally friendly as required under the Magnuson-Stevens Act. The U. S. keeps importing more fish from countries that have no requirements on equipment or on their catch. U.S. fishermen cannot compete with foreign prices so the fishermen’s numbers have been reduced.
Tiffany Miller:
I was shocked at the utter lack of regard that the commercial fishing industry has for its very own resources. I’d like to ask these same fishermen who say that they cannot make a living on the catch limits set for them: How are you going to make a living when all the fish are gone?
Nathan Kennedy:
You failed to note the obvious root cause of the global fish crisis, which is not new technologies but the explosion of world population. There simply are not enough fish in the ocean to feed us, and all the fisheries management and conservation in the world will do nothing to stop overfishing if nothing is done to stem the unsupportable demand for human consumption.
Peter Paul:
As a person with some 35 years of membership in various conservation groups, and after writing thousands of emails, letters, and protest forms, I arrived at the sad conclusion that nothing I did mattered one bit. When the catch drops below the cost of operating expenses, the industry will die, taking the health of the ocean with it. We will then all stand back and wonder why we let it happen.
Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] Overfishing results from extensive use of new technologies.
[B] Many people in my place support stricter regulation on fishing.
[C] I think that you failed to point out the real reason for overfishing.
[D] We are in a very weak position to compete with other countries in fishing.
[E] Sooner or later, we will feel regretful about our current fishing practice.
[F] I didn’t know there were such damaging ways of fishing around the World.
[G] I wonder if those fishermen have ever considered the consequences of exhausting ocean resources.
Peter Paul

答案
E
解析
主旨题。皮特·保罗分析了鱼量减产后,其对整个捕鱼业及和海洋所带来的厄运,而人们只能眼睁睁无奈地看着,还在想其中的原因,这与E项“迟早有一天,我们会对自己现行的捕捞方式后悔的”,表示的意思相同,故选E。
