四、(2024·扬州期末)阅读表达。〔人与自然——动物保护〕
Many people believe sharks are one of the most dangerous animals in the world. But according to a report,we humans bring a far greater danger to sharks than they do to us. Shark attacks(攻击)do happen. However,they are not very often. On the other hand,every hour,about 11,000 sharks are killed by humans. It is time that we should take action to stop many kinds of sharks from dying out.
Why should we save sharks? Because killing sharks is a problem for the whole world. Sharks are on the top of the food chain. They eat other species,but few species eat them. As sharks die off,the number of other species will increase. This,in turn,means the food that other species eat will become less.
So how can you help save sharks? Don't use shark products(产品). Pet foods,energy drinks,leather products can be made from shark parts. And shark meat is sold around the world. Most sharks are hunted for their fins(鳍),which are used to make shark fin soup. The process is unfriendly and cruel. Fishermen often cut the shark's fins off and then drop the shark back into the water,still alive. Sharks breathe by swimming. So if a shark can't swim with its fin,it will die.
If you eat seafood,make sure the food you eat comes from fisheries(渔场)that care for the sea. Many organizations try to protect sharks. They give us advice on how to keep them alive.
No buying,no killing! Maybe that is the best way to save sharks.
1. What will happen if sharks die off? ______
2. Can sharks live without fins? Why? ______
3. What can we do to protect sharks? ______

答案： 1. The number of other species will increase. /The food that other species eat will become less. 2. No，they can't. Because if sharks can't swim with fins，they will die. 3. We can stop people buying products made from sharks. /We can support organizations to keep on protecting sharks. （言之有理即可）

Dear Tom，
I'm writing to tell you some information about our speech on protecting animals in danger. You should hand in the speech next Monday.
There are many endangered animals in the world，such as elephants，golden monkeys and pandas. They are in great danger because some people hunt them and their living areas are becoming smaller and smaller.
I have some suggestions for you. First，you can talk about why these animals are in danger. Then，you can give some ways to protect them，like raising money to help them and showing pictures of them in your speech to make it more interesting.
If there is something else I can do，please let me know.
Yours，
