The Greatest Mystery of Whales
The whale is a warm-blooded, air-breathing animal, giving birth to its young alive, sucking them—and, like all mammals, originated on land. There are many【C1】______of this. Its front flippers(鳍状肢), used for steering and stability, are traces of feet.
Immense strength is【C2】______into the great body of the big whales, and in fact most of a whale’ s body is one gigantic muscle. The blue whale’ s pulling strength has been estimated【C3】______ 400 horsepower. One specimen was reported to have towed(拖)a whaling vessel for seven hours at the【C4】______of eight knot(节).

More recently, steel ships have【C7】______their plates buckled(使弯曲)in the same way. Sperm whales(抹香鲸)were known to seize the old-time whaleboats in their jaws and crush them.
The greatest【C8】______of whales is their diving ability. The sperm whale dives to the bottom for his 【C9】______food, the octopus(章鱼). In that search he is known to go as far down as 3, 200 feet, where the 【C10】______is 1, 400 pounds to a square inch. Doing so he will【C11】______underwater as long as one hour.Two special skills are involved in this storing up enough【C12】______(all whales are air-breathed)and tolerating the great change in pressure. Just how he does it scientists have not【C13】______. It is believed that some of the oxygen is stored in a special【C14】______of blood vessels, rather than just held in the lungs. And it is believed that a special kind of oil in his head is some sort of a compensating mechanism that 【C15】______adjusts the internal pressure of his body. But since you can’t bring a live whale into the laboratory for study, no one knows just how these things work.

选项
A、abandon
B、attack
C、leave
D、board
答案
B
解析
此题必须根据上下文的意思来做。由后文中捕鲸船被击沉、钢船被击毁的事例可知,鲸鱼被惹怒后会攻击船只,所以选B。abandon放弃;attack攻击;leave离开;board登(机),上(船)。
