根据近20年来的详细调查,海洋里的动物大约有18万种,植物约2万种。这些丰富的海洋生物可为人类社会提供食物、药物和工业原料。其中已被人类开发利用的经济价值较大的鱼类400多种,贝类和甲壳类近百种,藻类70多种,仅占海洋生物种属的一小部分。目前,这些野生海产品的年捕捞量可达2亿吨以上,大约可生产2000多万吨蛋白质食品,对缓解人类食品短缺和补充人体营养起着举足轻重的作用。近几年来,在南北极的科学考察发现,极区海域的渔业资源极为丰富,特别是南极海域的磷虾资源,如加以合理开发,每年可捕捞近亿吨。更令人惊喜的是,近年来的深海考察发现,一直被认为是生命极限区(水深600米以下)的深海底也有生物存在,海洋里的生物资源目前难以估量,其开发前景十分广阔。 随着海洋科学技术的不断发展,80年代兴起的“海上牧场”,已经给人类的食物源带来了生机。据统计,1995年全世界共放牧了100亿尾海洋经济鱼,回捕量已达到1000多万吨。而目前放养的经济贝类,回捕量更是高得惊人,浅海网箱养殖业也正在蓬勃发展,并获得了好收成。海上人工养殖逐步走上了正轨,人类已从海上“猎人”转业为海上“牧民”,耕海牧鱼是21世纪的一大产业。 这段文字主要是谈的是:

A. 人体营养
B. 科学技术
C. 海洋资源
D. 鱼类养殖

Hawaii’s native minority is demanding a greater degree of sovereignty over its own affairs. But much of the archipelago’s political establishment, which includes the White Americans who dominated until the second world war and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino origin, is opposed to the idea.The islands were annexed by the US in 1898 and since then Hawaii’s native peoples have fared worse than any of its other ethnic groups. They make up over 60 percent of the state’s homeless, suffer higher levels of unemployment and their life span is five years less than the average Hawaiians. They are the only major US native group without some degree of autonomy.But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaii’s first native governor, John Waihee, has given the natives’ cause a major boost be recommending that the Hawaiian natives decide by themselves whether to re-establish a sovereign Hawaiian nation.However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just want greater autonomy with the state as enjoyed by many American Indian natives over matters such as education. This is a position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent to natives’ interests and which has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitious in the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 wants full, official independence from the US.But if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count as native those people with more than 50 percent Hawaiian blood.Native demands are not just based on political grievances, though. They also want their claim on 660,000 hectares of Hawaiian crown land to be accepted. It is on this issue that native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1933, the state government paid the OHA US $136 million in back rent on the crown land and many officials say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claims to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this. Which of the following is NOT true of John Waihee().

A. He suggested that the native people decided for themselves.
B. He is leading the local independence movement.
C. He is Hawaii’s first native governor.
D. He has set up a sovereignty advisory committee.
