Over 10 to 15 million years, their bodies grew, forelegs shrank into flippers used for 【C5】______ and steering and hind legs disappeared. As a result of some amazing transformations, they arc 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.

If the calf is born 【C18】______ , she may support it on her back until it gradually rots away. Like all mammals, whale babies feed 【C19】______ mother’s milk.

A blue whale calf lengthens 【C20】______ two inches a day and gains an average seven pounds per hour. [br] 【C11】
选项
A、Due to
B、Despite
C、Except for
D、Apart from
答案
B
解析
介词辨析题。分析句子逻辑关系,鲸鱼身体庞大与运动的速度非常快之间应该是让步的关系,所以选择表示让步关系的despite,故B)为正确答案。A)Due to“由于”表示因果关系;Except for和D) Apart from都是“除……之外”表示递进关系,均不符合句子逻辑关系,故排除。
