答案
51.答案为B。第一段讲到鲸鱼很像陆地上的哺乳动物,最后一句举了一些例子来说明这一点。sign的意思是符号,特征,鲸鱼具有陆地上哺乳动物的一些特征,故选B。
52.答案为c。something is built into的意思是把装入,这里指鲸鱼生有巨大的气力。其他几个选项意思上讲不通。
53.答案为A。只能用介词at,不能用其他介词。
54.答案为D。rate表示速度,从上下文来讲,选D意思才讲得通。
55.答案为B。此题亦必须根据上下文的意思来推测选哪个词。鲸鱼被惹怒后会攻击船只,所以选B。
56.答案为C。这里是一非限定性定语从句,关系代词作 主语,用which,故选C。
57.答案为A。have + something+过去分词是一固定结构,此处只能选A。
58.答案为D。本题所在句子为该段主题句,谈的是鲸鱼的潜水能力。鲸鱼的潜水能力很强,能下潜到很深的地方,科学家们不解,所以说是个迷,故选D。
59.答案为A。虽然本题的几个选项都能与food搭配,但从上下文意思来讲,只有A正确。
60.答案为B。空格后面的名词是pound,重量单位,据此可以判断选B,因为其他几个选项不能和pound搭配。
61.答案为C。呆在水下要用动词remain,其他几个动词放入空格处意思讲不通。
62.答案为D。此题也必须在读懂上下文意思的基础上才能作出判断,这里指鲸鱼聚集氧气,故选D。
63.答案为B。上文谈到鲸鱼为什么能够在水下承受巨大的压力,科学家们还没有找到答案。选项中的deterrmine的意思是确定,此词放入空格处意思讲得通,其他几个选项讲不通,故选B。
64.答案为A。special虽然和几个选项都能搭配使用,但只有选项A意思上讲得通,故A为正确答案。
65.答案为D。此题亦需根据上下文的意思作出判断。automatically的意思是自动地。
