問題詳情

五、閱讀測驗（5%）Humans are the only natural enemies of the whales. People kill whales to make perfume, soap, shampoo, animal feed, and industrial oils. Killing whales is a modern business with factory ships, helicopters, and harpoons (魚叉) that explode inside the whales. The whales die very slowly in great pain. Some ships kill every whale they can find, even the mothers and babies. Then there are no young whales to grow up and bear more young.For several years, millions of people all over the world have been working together to save the whales. Finally, at an international conference in 1986, the United Nations decided to stop all commercial killing of whales, but a few countries like Japan and Russia still hunt them. The Japanese especially insist on killing whales because their meat is considered the most expensive dainty in high class Japanese restaurants.It is not necessary to kill whales. There are other products to use in place of whale oil and whale meat. If the killing continues, this wonderful animal, which took millions of years to develop, will be gone. In only a few years, there will be no more whales in the world.
