These monstrous creatures have been trumpeting their songs, one to another, in the world’s oceans since the【C1】________ of time, while overhead, great___【C2】________ and civilizations have come and gone. Now, their time of decline has come. It began a long time ago.
Four-thousand-year-old rock carvings show that the people who lived in what is now Norway were probably the first to seek out and kill whales in the sea. By around 890 AD, 3,000 years later, the【C3】________ had spread to the Basque people of France and Spain, who【C4】________ whales from boats in the Bay of Biscay. In the centuries that followed, Whaling became an important industry in Denmark, England, Germany, the Netherlands, and, finally, in what would become America.
Whaling went into dramatic【C5】________ , beginning around 1900. Today, whales are hunted commercially only by Norway, Iceland and Japan. The world’s【C6】________ with them, however, is at an all-time high, because so few of them are left, given their【C7】________ history.
Richard Ellis writes about whales, takes pictures of whales in the open sea, and【C8】________ whales stranded on the beach. He says it’s a 20-year【C9】________ that began in the mid-1960s, when he designed a model of a great blue for the Museum of Natural History in New York.
"As I began to do the research. I realized that nobody knew anything about whales. And I couldn’t really find any pictures of what they looked like: all I could find was pictures of dead whales. And I became very excited at the prospect of doing what seemed to be original research on something that was so【C10】________ , which was the largest animal that has ever lived on earth."
A. beginning B. decline C. rise D. empires
E. fascination F. different G. hunted H. dawn
I. practice J. behavior K. peculiar L. sketches

【C1】
选项
答案
H
解析
词组固定搭配题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。根据文意,此处表示从历史早期开始,符合文意的选项有“beginning,dawn”。但此处考查习惯用法since the dawn of time“有史以来,自古以来”,如:Since the dawn of time,technology has constantly outpaced the law,but never quite as fast as in the digital age.自古以来,科技的发展速度一直快于法律,但从来没有像数码时代这样差距悬殊。
