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
【C4】
选项
答案
G
解析
hunted,同义词复现。根据词性,此处应当填入动词。上文提到挪威地区的人们“seek out and kill whales”,后来蔓延到法国、西班牙,当地的人们同样也猎杀鲸鱼,应当填入kill的近义词,故选hunted“捕猎”。选项中的trapped为混淆项,trap仅表示“设陷阱捕捉”。
