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.

词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入形容词。此处强调鲸鱼的特殊性,因为前人从未研究过。可选范围为“different,peculiar”,但前者强调不同,后者强调独特。根据上文“original research”可见此处强调研究的独特性,而不是强调鲸鱼与其他动物的差异性,故选peculiar“独特的”。
