A poisonous fish which has a sting strong enough to kill a human is invading the Mediterranean, warn scientists. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has raised concerns after the poisonous fish was spotted in the waters around Turkey, Cyprus, and the eastern Mediterranean. Native to the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, the potentially deadly fish has poisonous hooks and a painful sting capable of killing people. Although fatalities are rare, the stings can cause extreme pain and stop people breathing. The fish, often known as Devil Firefish, is a highly invasive species, and environmentalists fear its arrival could endanger other types of marine life. After being spotted in the Mediterranean, a marine scientist says, “The fish is spreading, and that’s a cause for concern.”
Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
1. What is reported in the news?
2. What is the environmentalist concerned about the spread of Devil Firefish in the Mediterranean?
选项
A、Many people have been attacked by Devil Firefish.
B、The Mediterranean is a natural habitat of Devil Firefish.
C、Invasive species are driving away certain native species.
D、A deadly fish has been spotted in the Mediterranean waters.
答案
D
解析
主旨大意题。新闻开头为主旨句,指出一种带刺的有毒鱼类正在入侵地中海水域,其毒性足以致人死亡。接下来新闻提到这种鱼类的原产地,并指出这种鱼正在地中海水域扩散,令人担忧。由此可知,新闻围绕在地中海水域发现的致命鱼类而展开。
