选项 51._________A:aspects B:signs C:ways D:reasons
答案B
解析第一段讲到鲸鱼很像陆地上的哺乳动物，最后一句举了一个例子来说明这一点。sign的意思是“符号，特征，迹象”，鲸鱼具有陆地上哺乳动物的一些特征，故选B项。aspect方面，层面；way方法，方式；reason原因。 sth.is built into…的意思是“使……成为……的组成部分”，这里指鲸鱼具有巨大的气力。其他几个选项意思上讲不通。work工作，运行；divide划分；move移动。 at表示“（速度、比率等）以，达”; horsepower表示“马力”。 rate表示“速度”，而空格后的“knot”是速度单位，所以此处选D项。number数字；degree程度；distance距离。 此处表示鲸鱼被惹怒后会进行攻击，所以选B项。abandon放弃；attack攻击; leave离开；board登（船）。 这里是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰Whaler Essex，且在从句中作主语，故应用which来引导，故选C项。 " have + sth.+过去分词”是常用表达，表示某事被做。operate操作；see看见；catch抓住。 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，科学家们对其原因不解，所以说是个谜，故选D项。interest兴趣;job工作；danger危险。 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项正确。favorite最喜爱的；fast快速的；new新的；sufficient充足的。 空格后面说的是每平方英寸1400磅，用的是压强单位，故选B项。depth深度；pressure压强；level水平；size尺寸。 待在水下要用动词remain，其他几个动词放入空格处意思讲不通。set设置沙ecome变为；rest休息。 这里指鲸鱼储存氧气，故选D项。heat热量；energy能量；food食物；oxygen氧气。 此处意为：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determine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项。witness见证；apply运用；calculate计算。 此处是指氧气存在特殊的血管系统中，故A项为正确答案。system系统；place地方；arrangement安排；equipment设备。 此处意为：这种补偿结构能自动调节鲸鱼体内的压力。automatically的意思是“自动地”，符合题意。mentally心理上；artificially人工地；manually手工地。
