问题    A penguin—that black and white bird—came ashore on a beach in the south of the North Island nearly 4 000 miles away from its usual habitat. The creature’s【D1】______journey was witnessed by a woman【D2】______her dog as the 2 feet bird waddled (摇摇摆摆地走) out of the water in front of her. She said: "It was out of this world to see it. It was this glistening white thing standing up on the【D3】______and I thought I was seeing things."
   The tale of the【D4】______penguin is similar to the 2006 children’s film Happy Feet, in which a young penguin【D5】______himself far from home during a voyage of discovery. Conservationists believe it has completed an incredible journey for such a young bird—it is【D6】______to be around 10 months old. The most likely【D7】______for its appearance in New Zealand is the hunt for food. Experts said it may also have【D8】______on an ice floe during its travels and was carried north for a great【D9】______before it made a swim for dry land. Colin Miskelly said: "They can spend months at a time in the【D10】______and come ashore only to moult (换羽) or rest."
A) lost F) sand K) finds
B) astonishing G) estimated L) explanation
C) jested H) elevated M) distance
D) stone I) ocean N) strange
E) walking J) sending O) sleep
【D9】

选项

答案M

解析 空格前为形容词great,因此空格处应填名词。由此处句意“在它游向干燥的陆地之前,它可能站在一块浮冰上被带到北方来……”以及51题所在句中的an incredible journey等词可以判断,a great______应表示“一大段距离”。M)distance最符合句意。
