Question

【題目】Many people think the dinosaurs(恐龍) were the biggest animals that ever lived. They are wrong. The world’s biggest animal is still living and it lives in the ocean(海洋). It is the blue whale(鯨魚(yú)). Blue whales can be as long as 30 meters and weigh as much as 1,000 kilos. The largest dinosaurs weighed only 500 kilos.

The whale is not only the world’s biggest animal; it is also one of the cleverest. We know that whales can talk with each other, but we do not know what they are saying. Maybe one day we will learn how to talk with whales, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.

Whales live in the ocean, but they don’t lay eggs like fish do. They are mammals(哺乳動(dòng)物). They give birth to babies and have milk inside their own bodies to feed them. Humans are also mammals.

Sadly, there are not many kinds of whales left. People have killed them for food and other things for a long time. Now there are laws to stop people killing most kinds of whales. So maybe there will be more of them in years to come.

A. 放置 B. 躺下 C. 打賭 D. 產(chǎn)卵

【解析】

試題分析：短文主要介紹了世界上最大的動(dòng)物—鯨魚(yú)。它們是哺乳動(dòng)物。最大的藍(lán)鯨長(zhǎng)達(dá)30米，重達(dá)1000公斤。也是世界上最聰明的動(dòng)物之一。不幸的是，鯨魚(yú)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間遭到人類(lèi)的捕殺，種類(lèi)及數(shù)量在減少�，F(xiàn)在已經(jīng)頒布法令，禁止人類(lèi)捕殺鯨魚(yú)。

【1】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“Blue whales can be as long as 30 meters and weigh as much as 1,000 kilos. The largest dinosaurs weighed only 500 kilos.”可知，藍(lán)鯨重達(dá)1000公斤，最大的恐龍只有500公斤。大約是2:1，故答案為D。

【2】D詞意猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“but they don’t lay eggs like fish do. They are mammals”(哺乳動(dòng)物)可知，鯨魚(yú)是哺乳動(dòng)物，不像其它的魚(yú)一樣產(chǎn)卵。故答案為D。

【3】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中的句子“Sadly, there are not many kinds of whales left. People have killed them for food and other things for a long time.”可知，鯨魚(yú)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間遭到人類(lèi)的捕殺，種類(lèi)及數(shù)量在減少。故答案為B。

【4】A主旨大意題。文章每一段都與鯨魚(yú)有關(guān)，因此短文主要介紹了世界上最大的動(dòng)物—鯨魚(yú)。答案為A。
