Ⅰ.阅读理解
Great white sharks! Just hearing that name makes many people's hair stand on end. In reality, these big fish have more to fear from us than we do from them. For many years, people have killed countless great white sharks in the waters around the United States.
But thanks to conservation(保护) efforts, great whites are making a comeback in the US. Two recent studies show that the population of these sharks is rising along the east and west coast.
“When you fish for too many of them, you start to lose balance in the environment,” says shark researcher Tobey Curtis. As the biggest killer, sharks help keep the populations of fish, seals, and other creatures they eat from growing too large.
In spite of their importance, great white sharks had long been hunted for their meat and their fins(鳍). Then, in 1997, the US government passed a law that didn't allow the hunting of great whites. Afterwards, the number of these sharks in the US waters started to increase.
The law isn't the only thing that has helped great whites. Conservationists have also played a part in the sharks' comeback. The research group OCEARCH is using a method called tagging(给……加上标签) sharks to help change people's attitudes to great whites. They let the public follow each shark as it travels in the oceans. OCEARCH also gives each tagged shark a name to help people form a closer connection with the big fish.
The group's most well-known shark is named Katharine. She was tagged near Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Since then, thousands of people have tracked Katharine's movements on social media and the OCEARCH website.
This helps people see sharks in a new way. Chris Fischer, the founder of OCEARCH,believes learning to appreciate great whites will encourage people to do more to protect them.
