【解析】

試題分析：考察說明文。本文介紹了鯊魚的有關信息，如鯊魚的飲食，繁衍以及鯊魚所處的現(xiàn)狀。警告人們要注意保護鯊魚，因為很多鯊魚都處于滅絕的危險之中。

【1】 G 前一句These powerful senses help them find their food.講述的是鯊魚敏銳的感覺可以幫助他們尋找到食物。接下來的這句就應該介紹鯊魚的食物具體是什么。故G項符合上下文語境。

【2】A 前句About forty percent of the different kinds of sharks lay eggs說明講述的是鯊魚不同的繁衍方式。有的是產卵，有的是直接分娩出小鯊魚。故A項內容符合上下文。

【3】B 根據(jù)本段最后一句This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.可知鯊魚可以保護海洋里其他的一項生物，說明本段講述的是鯊魚的重要性。故B項內容符合語境。

【4】D 根據(jù)下句Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin. The skin of a shark can be used like leather. 可知本段內容講述的是鯊魚的器官在市場上收到追捧。故D項與上下文是吻合的。

【5】F 推理題。根據(jù)下句If too many sharks in one area are killed, the group of shark may never return to normal population levels可知現(xiàn)在很多鯊魚都處于滅絕的危險之中，如果我們再不保護鯊魚，也許有一天它們就會消失。故F項符合上下文。
