Ⅱ. Read the passage and complete the following tasks.
The Chinese paddlefish was one of the world's biggest freshwater fish. It could grow as long as seven metres. Most Chinese paddlefish lived in the Yangtze River, a river with plenty of food for them to eat. We also call it "the panda of the Yangtze River".
However, we cannot see these amazing animals now. Too much fishing was one of the main reasons. For years, people caught lots of Chinese paddlefish for
their meat. In the 1970s, every year people took about 25,000 kg of the fish from the river. Soon the number of the Chinese paddlefish decreased a lot. Then in the 1980s, people built dams(大坝). These dams blocked their ways and stopped them from swimming to the right place to lay(下蛋) eggs. As a result, there were fewer and fewer baby paddlefish. In 2003, our "panda of the Yangtze River" died out.
Now we build ways(通道) near dams, so the fish can swim to the other side to lay eggs. What else can we do? Why not stop overfishing and protect the homes of the freshwater fish, like the rivers and the lakes? If we all work together, we can help them.
Match the words and expressions with their meanings.
