C Tagging a shark requires quick action and good timing,according to Jon Dodd, director of the Atlantic Shark Institute.This South Kingstown-based nonprofit organization, co-founded by a lifelong Rhode Islander,attaches various types of tags to sharks to track and study them.The process,conducted by a team of four to six people,involves attaching the tag,taking blood samples,and measuring the shark,all within a maximum of 12 minutes.If the shark shows any signs of pain,it is immediately released back into the sea,regardless of whether all data has been collected. Tagging helps researchers track sharks'movements and gather valuable data about their behavior and habitat.Given the vulnerability (of many shark species,the institute follows strict rules for handling the animals.Traditional J hooks ()which can cause deadly injuries,have been replaced with safer circle hooks to increase the chances of a shark's survival if the hook cannot be removed. The type of tag used depends on the species and the study's objectives.National fisheries tags,the least expensive,are provided for free by NOAA Fisheries.These tags contain index (cards that provide information when retrieved.Acoustic tags,costing $425 each, last about a decade and track sharks'movements via signals picked up by acoustic receivers along the East Coast.The most advanced tags,pop-up satellite archival tags,cost up to $4,000 and provide detailed data such as water depth and temperature for about two years. Dodd,who has spent over 45 years studying sharks,expresses deep concern about their declining populations.He highlights the slow growth and maturation rates of many species, such as the great white shark,which takes many years to reach an adult.This slow reproduction rate,.combined with high death rates from bycatch（误s捕)，finning,and recreational fishing,has led to a 71%decline in global shark populations since 1975.Dodd emphasizes that healthy shark populations are crucial for maintaining ocean health,which in turn affects human health. 28.Which best describes the tagging process? A.Demanding. B.Dangerous. C.Time-consuming. D.Well-paid. 【高二英语第5页（共10页）】 、一”- 29.What does paragraph 2 talk about? A.Approaches to choose hooks. B.Ways to collect data. C.Hooks for safer tagging. D.Reasons for injuries. 30.What does the underlined word "retrieved"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Attached. B.Achieved. C.Released. D.Searched. 31.What does Dodd imply about sharks? A.They have high survival rates. B.They count in the ocean ecosystem. C.They reproduce quickly. D.They are easy to tag. ◇ Federal regulators gave a strong push to electric-powered air taxis Wednesday by issuing a final rule for operating the aircraft and how pilots will be trained to fly them.The head of the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA),Mike Whitaker,said the rule recognizes air taxis as an entirely new type of aircraft that will soon join airplanes and helicopters in the sky. These aircraft take off and land vertically(垂直地)，like helicopters,but fly like fixed wing planes.Many companies are working to get them on the market,but they have been held back by the lack of clarity (over regulations to govern their use.Whitaker said the FAA is stressing safety as it works to fold the new aircraft into the nation's airspace.He said "powered-lift aircraft"are the first new category of aircraft in nearly 80 years,since the dawn of helicopters,and the rule will allow for their widespread operation. Air taxi supporters call them a cleaner alternative to passenger planes that burn jet fuel. So far,however,current technology limits their size and likely means that they will be used most often in urban areas.One of the companies in the new field praised the FAA regulation. CEO JoeBen Bevirt said,"The rules are necessary and will certainly play a positive role in the healthy development and adoption of clean flight. Airlines see air taxis as a way to deliver passengers to airports.Delta Air Lines said in 2022 it would invest 60 million,and this month a Japanese company announced a $500 million investment.United Airlines is backing another California-based company,with an order for 200 aircraft that Archer said could be worth $1 billion with an option for $500 million more. 32.What does the air taxi refer to in the text? A.A new kind of plane. B.An electric-powered taxi. C.A new type of large bus. D.A taxi as big as a helicopter. 33.What keeps the air taxi from being put to the market? A.No large investments. B.Lack of clear regulations. C.Shortage of official approval. D.High costs. 【高二英语第6页（共10页）】 34.Why are some people in favor of the air taxi? A.For its perfect technology. B.For its low prices. C.For its clean energy. D.For its comfort and convenience. 35.What is the attitude of the Japanese company to the air taxi? A.Doubtful. B.Cautious. C.Favorable. D.Unconcerned. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Food loss occurs at every step in the food supply chain from production to consumption.
