In 2008，around 10，000 tons of fins from 87 countries passed through the citys ports. For environmentalists like Stanley Shea of French－founded Bloom Associationlow activists have been quite effective. Over the last two years governments in Hong Kong and mainland China，as well as big corporations and hotel chains，have announced they will take shark fin soup off their menus and banquets. It is in Hong Kongs Sheung Wan District that a lot of the shark fin trade happens. Here the local marine－product industry is suffering. Inside the small shops merchants talk freely about shark fins they sell these days. But in front of a camera nobody wants to mention shark fins；it is just too sensitive，they say. Not far away，at restaurant Lin Heung Kui，shark fin soup is a common dish on the menu. Around lunchtime，it is mostly the elderly and tourists who visit the place. Shark fin soup has been the food of the rich and wealthy for hundreds of years in China.

In the past，when you wanted to show your social status，people made shark fins a signifier in a banquet，but nowadays this signifier changes，”she said. Stanley Shea said young people were increasingly interested in social responsibility. He said that helped make his campaign a success in Hong Kong. 【解题导语】　香港可以说是世界鱼翅交易中心但随着人们对鱼翅消费的强烈抵制香港的鱼翅交易量 1．By saying Hong Kong is the worlds shark fin capital，the author means ____________． Hong Kong love eating shark fins B．Hong Kong has the longest history of trading shark fins C．many of the worlds shark fins are traded in Hong Kong D．restaurants in Hong Kong provide the most dishes of shark fins 答案　C　[推理判断题。根据第二段的Around 50...Hong Kong.可推断作者说香港是鱼翅之都是因为世界上大概一半的鱼翅交易是在那里完成的故选C。] －founded Bloom Association doi
