　　答案與解析

　　1.D。從上下文語境看，這里要填入的只是一個物主代詞，即指出是誰的front flippers。前面在談whale時用的是單數(shù)，所以這里要用單數(shù)的代詞its。

　　2.A。本句是說，鯨魚的力氣之大，藍鯨的拉力估計可達400馬力。除了strength，其他三個選項和力氣無關(guān)，分別是寬度、高度和長度。

　　3.c。本句是說，藍鯨的巨大拉力表現(xiàn)在它能拉得動一艘捕鯨船，所以這里需要填入一個表示“拉”或“拖”的動詞。

　　4.B。本句是說，藍鯨能以什么速度來拖這條捕鯨船。在四個選項中只有rate的意思是“速度”，和speed同義。

　　5.C。本句是說，發(fā)怒的鯨魚會對船發(fā)動攻擊。下面舉例說明，所以選example。

　　6.A。表示在離開海岸不遠處用介詞off。

　　7.B。從上下文語境看，in their iaws這個短語決定了這里只可能用seize這個動詞。鯨魚把古代的捕鯨船咬在嘴里，然后把它咬碎。

　　8.c。從上下文語境看，這里在講鯨魚潛水的本領(lǐng)，所以選c。其他選項fly(飛)，iump(跳)，crawl(爬)，這三個動作都不是鯨魚能做的。

　　9.A。這里考查習慣搭配，search前面的介詞用in。inthat search意為“在這一搜尋過程中”。

　　10.A。so用來代替前面所說過的一個動作。這里它指的是sperm whale為了覓食潛至海底3200英尺處。

　　11.B。store up的意思是“儲存”。從上下文語境看，由于鯨魚要在深海中停留一小時，它當然要有儲存氧氣的本領(lǐng)，所以這里要填入的是oxygen。

　　12.c。本句是說，科學家只知道鯨魚有儲存氧氣和抵御壓力的絕技，但它究竟是怎么做到這一點的，他們卻還不知道。注意這個句子里的賓語從句被移到前面來了。正常的語序是：Scientists have not determined how he does it.

　　13.A。這里用的是it is believed that…句型。it是形式主語，指代后面的that從句。這個that從句是一個主語從句。

　　14.C。這里缺少的顯然是一個連接詞，因為后面是一個從句而不是短語。在四個選項中只有since是連接詞，另外三個選項都是復合介詞，后面都跟名詞，不能跟一個句子。

　　15.B。從上下文語境看，既然你無法把一條活的鯨魚搬到實驗室里來研究，自然沒有人知道這到底是怎么一回事。根據(jù)意思可知此處選knows。
