Whales, several species of which face extinction, have become subjects of considerable sympathy. These are the recorded voices of whales. 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
M. obsession N. tragic O. trapped
【C8】
选项
答案
L
解析
近义词重现。根据词性,此处应当填入动词。此处与上文 “takes pictures of whales in the open sea,”构成并列,填入的动词应当与takes pictures时态一致,意思相近,故答案为sketches“画草图,素描”,此处意为把被困在海滩上的鲸鱼画下来,与上文“摄制鲸鱼在辽阔的大海里的照片”形成并列。
