These huge animals weigh over 30,000 pounds — about the same as a city bus. Because of their massive size, whale sharks are slow swimmers, reaching top speeds just over 3 miles per hour. They Live in Tropical and Warm Temperate Seas In addition to being large in size, whale sharks are widely distributed. Whale sharks are comfortable in deep and shallow coastal environments.They prefer water temperatures of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.  Their Pups Are Born Live Like many sharks, whale sharks give birth to live pups rather than laying eggs. In fact, whale sharks are said to be ovoviviparous(卵胎生的), meaning they can carry about 300 embryos at a time — with each at a different stage of development. Pups are between 16 and 24 inches long at birth, but, interestingly, there have been few sightings of these young whale sharks. They Can Live Up to About 130 Years A study in Marine and Freshwater Research reports that these huge creatures can live to the old age of about 130. That said, it’s estimated that less than 10% of whale sharks survive to adulthood, largely because young whale sharks don’t have the size necessary to intimidate(恐吓) against — and survive — predation(捕食).  Whale Sharks Are Endangered According to the IUCN, whale sharks are classified as endangered, and their populations are decreasing.Sadly, this is due in large part to the threats posed by human recreation and various industries, including oil and gas drilling, and the fishing and harvesting of marine resources.  What’s more, whale sharks are threatened by shipping lanes, and a study by the Australian Institute of Marine Science estimated that about 1 in 5 whale sharks has been injured by a commercial vessel. 26. What does the underlined word “distributed” mean? A. known B. spread C. caught D. developed 27. Which fact is not mentioned about the whale shark. A. the size and living environment B. the reproduction of whale shark C. The recent situation of whale shark D. the history of whale shark 28. According to the passage, which of the following sentence is TRUE? A. Whale sharks are quick swimmers due to its huge size. B. There have been a few sightings of these young whale sharks. C. Less than 10% of whale sharks survive to adulthood. D. Whale shark is the largest mammal in the world. 29.Whale sharks are endangered for the following reason except___________. A. human different kinds of industries B. shipping lanes C. human entertainment D. lack of food 30.Where can we most probably read this passage? A. In a newspaper B. In a science magazine C. In an advertisement D. In a travel guide 第二节 阅读填空（共 5 小题：每小题 1 分，满分 5 分） 阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the world, there are many different kinds of living things.
