These monstrous creatures have been trumpeting their songs, one to another, in the world’s oceans since the【C1】________ of time, while overhead, great___【C2】________ and civilizations have come and gone. Now, their time of decline has come. It began a long time ago.
Four-thousand-year-old rock carvings show that the people who lived in what is now Norway were probably the first to seek out and kill whales in the sea. By around 890 AD, 3,000 years later, the【C3】________ had spread to the Basque people of France and Spain, who【C4】________ whales from boats in the Bay of Biscay. In the centuries that followed, Whaling became an important industry in Denmark, England, Germany, the Netherlands, and, finally, in what would become America.
Whaling went into dramatic【C5】________ , beginning around 1900. Today, whales are hunted commercially only by Norway, Iceland and Japan. The world’s【C6】________ with them, however, is at an all-time high, because so few of them are left, given their【C7】________ history.
Richard Ellis writes about whales, takes pictures of whales in the open sea, and【C8】________ whales stranded on the beach. He says it’s a 20-year【C9】________ that began in the mid-1960s, when he designed a model of a great blue for the Museum of Natural History in New York.
"As I began to do the research. I realized that nobody knew anything about whales. And I couldn’t really find any pictures of what they looked like: all I could find was pictures of dead whales. And I became very excited at the prospect of doing what seemed to be original research on something that was so【C10】________ , which was the largest animal that has ever lived on earth."

选项
答案
B
解析
上下文题。根据词性,此处应当填入名词。上文讲到猎鲸行为的蔓延,但下文又讲到如今只有挪威、冰岛、日本还在进行商业性捕鲸,可见本句应当提出猎鲸活动的衰退,故选decline。
