In September, more than a dozen whales beached themselves in the Canary Islands. Rescuers tried to water down the whales and keep them cool. But all of them【C1】______ died.
Nearby, NATO naval forces were testing echo sounding devices meant to【C2】______ an enemy’s submarines, and public knowledge of the deaths ultimately came to strengthen suspicions of a link between whale distress and loud ocean noises.
The theory is that the mammals seek to escape the roar of the【C3】______, rush toward the surface and in some cases end up going ashore.
For decades, environmentalists have worked to reduce the undersea noise—usually with【C4】______ success, given the growing industrialization and militarization of the oceans. They have filed suits and waged letter-writing campaigns, including a recent petition that asks the United States Navy to【C5】______ its testing of underwater sound equipment.
The discovery by biologists in Hawaii that whales can decrease the sensitivity of their hearing to protect their ears from loud noise【C6】______ another dimension to the debate.
Michael Jasny, a senior policy analyst, called the research fascinating and said he hoped it would prove【C7】______ in protecting whale hearing from these threats.
But he characterized the finding as a work in progress that posed many【C8】______ questions.
"A lot more work needs to be done," he said. "Could it be replicated in the wild? It’s a huge question." Even if whales could learn to decrease the sensitivity of their hearing, Mr. Jasny said, that would【C9】______ only a relatively small part of the oceanic noise problem. "It’s important to understand that it’s【C10】______," he said of the proposed method. "It won’t be a silver bullet."
【C5】
选项
答案
F
解析
空格前的不定式符号to提示此处要填入动词原形。从上文的the mammals seek to escape the roar,可知噪音对鲸鱼有害,而空格后的its testing of underwater sound equipment“水声设备的测试”是制造噪音的,因此推断环保人士会请求海军放弃这一做法,词库中的drop“放弃”符合要求。
