May people like the gigantic whales. Human sympathy【C1】______ whales is only natural of all the creatures in the sea.【C2】______ are closer relatives to us than these warm-blooded mammals. And how they got into the sea is one of the most fascinating stories of【C3】______ . Most authorities believe that 60 million years ago ancestors of modern whales were four-legged, wolf-size animals living on the sea shores,【C4】______ an abundance of fish and shrimp tempted them to try wading.【C5】______ 10 to 15 million years, their bodies grew, forelegs shrank into flippers used for balance and steering and hind legs disappeared. As a result of some amazing transformations, they are now helpless on land. If stranded on a beach, they can barely breathe.
With abundant 【C6】 ______ of food, whales grew into the largest creatures that lived,【C7】______ larger than dinosaurs. A blue whale can grow to 100 feet. Its tongue is ten feet thick and heavier than an elephant. Some arteries are big enough for a child to swim【C8】______ . The half-ton heart has walls two feet thick and pumps eight tons of blood.【C9】______ its size comes awesome strength. A blue whale swimming 【C10】______ 15 knots generates 1 000 horsepower.【C11】______ their size, these giants move at a good speed. An 18-ton whale can even【C12】______ 12 m. p. h., over short distances. A whale can 【C13】______ to 9 000 pounds of food a day. The world’s biggest creature【C14】______ itself almost entirely on shrimp-like krill, smaller than a person’s thumb.
Maternal instincts are also【C15】______ Because a calf is born underwater, the mother must get it to the surface before it【C16】______ . Often another whale will help. The mother pushes it gently【C17】______ the baby is confident with its swimming—usually after about 30 minutes. If the calf is【C18】______ , she may support it on her back until it gradually rots away. Like all mammals, whale babies【C19】______ mother’s milk. And the milk is more than 30-percent fat, over 10-percent protein, and the babies grow extremely fast. A blue whale calf lengthens【C20】______ two inches a day and gains an average seven pounds per hour.
【C15】
选项
A、fast grown
B、much trained
C、quite fostered
D、highly developed
答案
D
解析
动词辨析题 。根据句意可知,下一句是对本句的具体解释,下一句提到“因为小鲸鱼是在水下出生的,所以母亲必须帮助它在被淹死之前浮出水面”,这样也就培养出了鲸鱼的Maternal instincts“母性的本能”。动物的一种本能的形成需要相当长的时间,所以动词develop“逐渐形成,进化”符合句意。
