解析：
由后半句可知，比起鲨鱼袭击，人们应该更害怕雷击，因此，前半句的意思应是，媒体对于鲨鱼袭击的报道让公众极度恐慌，这其实是不必要的，选项中只有“exaggerated” and “excessive”符合题意。A浮夸的，华而不实的；C坦白的，直率的；D减弱的，被抑制的；F不可避免的。句意是，“媒体对于鲨鱼无故攻击人类的报道引发了公众的过度恐慌；其实，每年雷击引发的灾祸要比鲨鱼袭击要多得多。”

共用题干Craig Rogers was sitting on his surfboard, scanning（审视）the distance for his next wave, when his board suddenly stopped moving._________(46)"I could have touched its eye with my elbow（肘部）,"says Craig. The shark had surfaced so quietly that he hadn't heard a thing.In his horror and confusion,he waved his arms and accidentally cut two of his fingers on the shark's teeth.He then slid off the opposite side of his surfboard into the water. Then,with Craig in the water and blood flowing from his fingers,the five-meter-long shark simply swam away,_______(47)Although sharks are often categorized as killers that hunt and eat as many humans as they can, this is actually inaccurate.Sharks very rarely kill humans.A person has a greater chance of being struck by lightning or drowning（淹死）in a bath than of being killed by a shark. Only 74 people have been reported killed by great whites in the last century.But great white sharks can reach six meters in length and weigh 2,200 kilograms or more.With frightening jaws that can hold up to3,000 teeth arranged in several rows,they could very easily kill and eat a helpless human in the water.________(48)Shark researchers are trying to comprehend the reasons that allow people to escape without being eaten.The most common explanation is that great whites don't see well._________(49)There is reason to doubt this,however. Recent information shows that great whites can actually see very well. Also,when attacking seals,great whites shoot up to the surface and bite with great force.When approaching humans,however,_________(50)They soon discover that humans are not a high一fat meal."They spit us out because we're too bony,"says Aidan Martin,director of Reef Quest Center for Shark Research.Shark researchers like Martin hypothesize that great whites are actually curious animals that like to investigate things.It's possible that they use their bite not only to kill and eat,but also to gather information.Although such an experience is unlucky for people like Craig Rogers,when sharks bite surfboards or other objects or people,they are likely just trying to learn what they are._________（50）A:disappearing into the water below.B:Why is it,then,that most people survive attacks by great whites?C:they most often move in slowly and bite less hard.D:There is reason to doubt that great whites see well enough to attack humans.E:It has been thought that they mistake people for the seals or sea lions which make up a large part of their diet.F:He looked down and was terrified to see a great white shark biting the front of his board.

单选题For hundreds of years, pearl divers have gathered pearls directly from mollusks on the seafloor. This is an extremely risky profession, exposing the divers to risks of drowning, air embolism, and shark attacks. Still, as long as society demands authentic cultured pearls, these brave divers must continue to risk their lives. Which of the following statements, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion above?AShark attacks on pearl divers have decreased steadily over the last three decades because of declining shark populations.BCultured pearls are generally considered more beautiful than those made by artificial means.CRobotic pearl harvesters can gather pearls faster and at less cost than human divers, although they may disturb aquatic communities.DPart of the value of cultured pearls derives from the exotic way in which they are obtained.EWith the proper equipment and training, a diver employing scuba gear can harvest three times as many pearls per hour as can a free air diver.
单选题"If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation. The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives-the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic (基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are. It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read-sports and international news, etc. I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media (媒体). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.In the writer’s opinion, in the future, （）.Amore big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsBnewspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerCnewspapers will cover more scientific researchDmore and more people will watch TV
