文章第一段告诉了我们“AllRicOBarrywantsistostopthedolphin－killing”，结合他的电影TheCove的内容可以看出，RicOBarry制作这部电影的目的就是想阻止世界上的海豚杀戮行为。答案 A2．ViewerscanlearnfromTheCove________．A．theadvancedtechniquestocatchdolphinsB．thecruelandbloodydolphin－killingC．thebeautifulJapaneseseasidetownTaijiD．thesaleofdolphinmeataroundtheworld解析 由第四段该影片对捕杀海豚场景的描述“spearing(刺)theanimalsrepeatedlyuntilthewaterturnsred”可以看出，海豚的杀戮是血腥(bloody)和残酷的(cruel)。答案 B3．WhatistheresponsetoTheCoveontheJapaneseside?5\nA．Taijibrokeupwithitswesternsister－cityBroome.B．Japaneseofficialsdecidedtobandolphin－killing.C．ThetowngovernmentinTaijikeptsilentoncriticism.D．MostJapanesepeoplewereagainsteatingdolphinmeat.解析

C4．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“defensive”probablymean?A．Feelingguiltyforkillingdolphins.B．Protectingthemselvesagainstcriticism.C．Attackingthoseagainstdolphin－killing.D．Makingthedeterminationtochange.解析 根据后面的seeing和句子可知，他们对自己的行为进行了辩解，认为自己的这种捕杀海豚的行为是一种诚实的谋生方式，也就是说，他们是在为自己的这一血腥行为进行辩解。因此，该词应意为“保护自己免受批评”。故选B。答案 B5．Whatcanweinferfromthepassage?A．ManypeopleinJapanhaveseenTheCoveinthecinema.B．TheCovehasnotinfluencedJapan'sinternationalimage.C．Taiji'sdolphin－killingindustryhasbeenseriouslydamaged.D．TheCovehasbroughtinternationalattentiontodolphin－killing.解析 文章倒数第四段提到澳大利亚的一个城市也因为这部电影(becauseofthemovie)终止了和日本捕杀海豚的城市Taiji之间的友好关系。由此可以推断，这部电影已经引起了国际上对捕杀海豚行为的关注。故选D。答案
