As a result of some amazing transformations, they are now helpless on land. If stranded on a beach, they can barely breathe.
With abundant 【C6】 ______ of food, whales grew into the largest creatures that lived,【C7】______ larger than dinosaurs. A blue whale can grow to 100 feet. Its tongue is ten feet thick and heavier than an elephant. Some arteries are big enough for a child to swim【C8】______ .

A whale can 【C13】______ to 9 000 pounds of food a day. The world’s biggest creature【C14】______ itself almost entirely on shrimp-like krill, smaller than a person’s thumb.
Maternal instincts are also【C15】______ Because a calf is born underwater, the mother must get it to the surface before it【C16】______ . Often another whale will help. The mother pushes it gently【C17】______ the baby is confident with its swimming—usually after about 30 minutes. If the calf is【C18】______ , she may support it on her back until it gradually rots away. Like all mammals, whale babies【C19】______ mother’s milk. And the milk is more than 30-percent fat, over 10-percent protein, and the babies grow extremely fast. A blue whale calf lengthens【C20】______ two inches a day and gains an average seven pounds per hour.
【C18】
选项
A、born to be dead
B、born dead
C、born to death
D、born died
答案
B

形容词辨义题 。“出生之后就死亡”可以用B 中的born dead来表达,这里的dead是形容词作主语补足语,补充说明句子的主语the calf的情况。其余三个选项中的表达均不正确,可以排除。
