问题     Since there is such an abundance of food in the sea, it is understandable that some of the efficient, highly adaptable, warm-blooded mammals that【C1】______on land should have returned to the sea. Those that【C2】______have flourished. Within about 50 million years--【C3】______time at all, geologically speaking--one of the four kinds of mammals that has【C4】______to a marine environment has developed into the largest of all animal【C5】______, the whale. A second kind, the seal, has produced what is probably the greatest population of large carnivorous mammals on Earth.
    This suggests that these "top dogs" of the ocean are【C6】______and multiplying.【C7】______, such has not been the case, at ieast not for the last 150 years. Trouble has closed in【C8】______these mammals in the form of equally warm-blooded and even more【C9】______adaptable predators, humans.  At sea,【C10】______on land, humans have now【C11】______themselves on the top of the whole great pyramid of life, and【C12】______have caused serious problems for the mammals of the sea, There is a simple【C13】______for this.

选项 A、specialties
B、species
C、kinds
D、animals
答案 B
解析 名词辨义题。without一词轻微转折，说明虽然人类大量捕捞鱼类，但是目前还未造成任何物种的灭绝。所以选择species“物种”。specialty意为“专长，擅长”，与原文意思无关；kind有种类的意思，但不用来繁殖物种；animal过于笼统了，这里只讲鱼类。
