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.

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.

词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。上文提到4000年前的壁画表明挪威地区的人们有猎杀鲸鱼的行为,现在这行为扩散到法国、西班牙等地。可见空格中应当填入表示这一行为的词,可选范围为“behavior,practice”。但前者“侧重人的行为举止”,后者强调“实践行动、做法”。此处表示猎鲸行为,故practice更准确。
