Just because they can’t sing opera or ride a bicycle doesn’t mean that animals don’t have culture. There’s no better example of this than killer whales. As one of the most【C1】_________predators (食肉动物), killer whales may not fit the【C2】_________of a cultured creature. However, these beasts of the sea do display a vast range of highly【C3】_________behaviors that appear to be driving their genetic development.
The word "culture" comes from the Latin "colere," which【C4】_________means "to cultivate." In other words, it refers to anything that is【C5】_________or learnt, rather than instinctive or natural. Among human populations, culture not only affects the way we live, but also writes itself into our genes, affecting who we are. For instance, having spent many generations hunting the fat marine mammals of the Arctic, the Eskimos of Greenland have developed certain genetic【C6】_________that help them digest and utilize this fat-rich diet, thereby allowing them to【C7】_________in their cold climate.
Like humans, killer whales have colonized a range of different【C8】_________across the globe, occupying every ocean basin on the planet with an empire that【C9】_________from pole to pole. As such, different populations of killer whales have had to learn different hunting techniques in order to gain the upper hand over their local prey (猎物). This, in turn, has a major effect on their diet, leading scientists to【C10】_________that the ability to learn population-specific hunting methods could be driving the animals’ genetic development.
A) acquired
B) adaptations
C) brutal
D) deliberately
E) expressed
F) extends
G) habitats
H) humble
I) image
J) literally
K) refined
L) revolves
M) speculate
N) structure
O) thrive [br] 【C4】
选项
答案
J
解析
空格所在句意思是:“文化”一词来源于拉丁语“colere”,________意思就是“培养”。本句解释“文化”一词的词源,which引导的非限制性定语从句又是对拉丁语词源“colere”的一种解释。结合备选副词可知,literally“根据字面意思,按照原义”符合句意,故为答案。另外一个备选副词deliberately“故意地,蓄意地”不符合句意,因此排除。
