largest predatory(食肉的) fish，eat three to four times more food than previously thought，an Australian study shows.The US.research from the 1980s estimated a meal of 30 kilograms could make a one-ton shark continue living for more than six weeks.That made assumptions that large sharks could survive long periods without eating.However，a University of Tasmania-led study published this week in Scientific Reports found that 30kg was only enough for 1215 days.Researchers tagged(给附上标签) a dozen great white sharks at Neptune Islands off South Australia and calculated their metabolic(新陈代谢的) rate based on swimming speeds.They worked out how much energy the sharks burned and how much food they required.“Their metabolic rate is faster than we assumed.”Jayson Semmens was the lead author on the study.He said，“They (U.S.researchers) picked a shark that probably wasnt working very hard at the time when they did it.At the time it was a new study.They did some metabolic work similar to what we did but on one shark.”“The white sharks，which we tagged，are working pretty hard.Theyre coming up to some pretty high speed to catch the seals，” he said.“Their metabolic rate is much faster than what we had assumed.These animals are probably going to be feeding every day，rather than several weeks.”The research also sought to improve understanding of how sharks fit into the ocean ecosystem.“We dont have a good handle on the population sizes of white sharks.We know that sharks in general are under pressure around the world from overfishing，” Semmens said.“Furthermore，theyre long-lived.They reproduce late in their life and they produce a small number of babies.”Semmens said the effects of removing white sharks from the ocean were thus far more important than realized.“Theyre keeping under control a lot more animals than we thought，” he said.语篇解读大白鲨是世界上最大的食肉性鱼类。本文介绍了一项关于大白鲨的最新研究。11The US.research made people believe that .Alarge sharks could live without eating meatBsharks gained

B6.4 hours.C4.8 hours. D1.6 hours.答案B解析数字计算题。根据第一段中的“.the average European spends 4.8 hours reading newspapers and magazines but 1.6 hours more using the mobile Internet a week.”可知，欧洲人每周平均花费4.8小时读报和看杂志，但是多花1.6小时使用移动互联网，，故选B。17What do the underlined words “doin
