Experts estimate that one out of every five fish sold was caught illegally. It threatens(威胁) food security and hurts the environment. Officials are using new observational technology to fight illegal fishing.
“Thank you for taking the time to join us here in Harwell (UK) in the Operations Center to what we call ‘Project Eyes on the Seas.’” says Tony Long, who leads the Ending Illegal Fishing program for Pew Charitable Trusts. The group created Project Eyes on the Seas. Large three-dimensional images of a globe can be seen on a video.
“It looks different from what you might expect because this globe only shows you the boats that are coming into this system from a live automated information system or AIS.”
The screen shows 120,000 fishing boats have AIS. They are required to have the technology. But those who are fishing illegally often turn it off. The technology does not tell observers when that happens. Project Eyes on the Seas combines satellite information with secret government records on every ship’s past activities.
Mr. Long says that permits researchers to understand exactly where the fishing boats are operating. The Pew team gives the information it gathers to port officials to help them decide if they should take action against a ship. Tony Long says he would like to be able to provide port officials all over the world with clear lists. They would inform the officials about ships to inspect, ships to bar from entrance, and ships to permit entrance for trade activities.
The Pacific island nation of Palau was an early user of the technology. Palau has one of the richest fishing areas in the world. Last year, it announced a plan to ban commercial fishing in a 630,000 square kilometer area. K.B. Sakuma is a special adviser to the president of Palau. He says Palau is trying to deal with a recent increase in illegal, unsupervised（无人监管的）and unreported fishing.
“And it’s come to a head in the last year or two. From our southern island in the evening you can see on the horizon just dotted lights of these illegal fishermen that come into our waters, fill their ships with our fish, our resources, our food security...”
1.According to the estimation, what is the percentage of illegal fishing?
A. 1% B. 5% C. 23.5% D.20%
2.The information is collected by the Pew team so as to ________.
A. leave written records for the country only
B. help fishermen to catch more fish on the Seas
C. prevent all of the fishing practices on the Seas
D. assist port officials in deciding whether to ban a ship from fishing
3.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. The clear lists.
B. The investigators.
C. The fishing boats.
D. The Project Eyes.
4.Which of the following statements is closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. The issue is urgent.
B. The problem begins to appear.
C. The number of fishermen is increasing.
D. The head of the fishermen is coming.
5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. When the fishermen turn off the AIS, the inspector will know the situation.
B. The special adviser to the president of Palau leads the Ending Illegal Fishing
program.
C. The new technology contributes to solving the problem of illegal fishing.
D. Commercial fishing is permitted in Palau.

It was in the archives (档案室) of the Archbishop of York that Matthew Collins had a sudden insight: He was surrounded by millions of animal skins.
Another person might say they were surrounded by books and manuscripts written on parchment, which is made from skins, usually of cows and sheep. Collins, however, had been trying to make sense of animal-bone fragments from archaeological digs, and he began to think about the advantages of studying animal skins, already cut into rectangles and arranged neatly on a shelf. Archaeologists consider themselves lucky to get a few dozen samples, and here were millions of skins just sitting there.
In recent years, archaeologists and historians have awakened to the potential of ancient DNA extracted from human bones and teeth. DNA evidence has enriched — and complicated — stories of prehistoric human migrations. It has provided tantalizing clues to epidemics such as the black death. It has identified the remains of King Richard III, found under a parking lot. But Collins isn’t just interested in human remains. He’s interested in the things these humans made; the animals they bred, slaughtered, and ate; and the economies they created.
That’s why he was studying DNA from the bones of livestock — and why his lab is now at the forefront of studying DNA from objects such as parchment and beeswax. These objects can fill in gaps in the written record, revealing new aspects of historical production and trade. How much beeswax came from North Africa, for example?
Collins splits his time between Cambridge and the University of Copenhagen, and it’s hard to nail down exactly what kind of — ologist he is. He has a knack for gathering experts as diverse as parchment specialists, veterinarians, geneticists, archivists, economic historians, and protein scientists (his own background). “All I do is connect people together,” he said. “I’m just the ignorant one in the middle.”
However, it didn’t take long for his group to hit their first culture conflict. In science and archaeology, destructive sampling is at least tolerated, if not encouraged. But book conservators were not going to let people in white coats come in and cut up their books. Instead of giving up or fighting through it, Sarah Fiddyment, a postdoctoral research fellow working with Collins, shadowed conservationists for several weeks. She saw that they used white Staedtler erasers to clean the manuscripts, and wondered whether that rubbed off enough DNA to do the trick. It did; the team found a way to extract DNA and proteins from eraser pieces, a compromise that satisfied the team found a way to extract DNA and proteins from eraser pieces, a compromise that satisfied everyone. The team has since sampled 5,000 animals from parchment this way.
Collins is not the first person to think of getting DNA from parchment, but he’s been the first to do it at scale. Studying the DNA in artifacts is still a relatively new field, with many prospects that remain unexplored. But in our own modern world, we’ve already started to change the biological record, and future archaeologists will not find the same treasure of hidden information in our petroleum-laden material culture. Collins pointed out that we no longer rely as much on natural materials to create the objects we need. What might have once been leather or wood or wool is now all plastic.
1.How is Collin’s study different from the study of other archaeologists?
A.He studies human skins and bones.
B.He is the first person to study animal skins.
C.He studies objects related to humans and their lives.
D.His study can provide clues to previous epidemics.
2.Collin thinks of himself as ignorant because _____.
A.his major doesn’t help his research
B.he can’t connect experts of different fields
C.he finds it hard to identify what kind of — ologist he is
D.his study covers a wide range of subjects beyond his knowledge
3.What can be inferred form the passage?
A.Destructive sampling is not allowed in the field of science and archeology.
B.Collin made a compromise by only studying copies of books made of animal skins.
C.Book protectors were opposed to Collin’s study because his group tracked them for several weeks.
D.It is difficult for future archeologists to study what society is like today due to plastic objects.
4.What may be the appropriate title of this passage?
A.A new discovery in archaeology
B.A lab discovering DNA in old books
C.Archaeology on animals seeing a breakthrough
D.Collin’s contributions to the identification of old books
