Certainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber.
All living creature, especially human beings, have their【C1】________ , but everything about the little sea cucumber seems unusual. What else can be said about a bizarre animal that, among other【C2】________ , eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous but is considered【C3】________ edible by gourmets? For some fifty million years, despite all its eccentricities, the sea cucumber has【C4】________ on its diet of mud. It is【C5】________ enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet, under rocks in shallow water, or on the surface of mud flats.
Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has the ability to suck up mud or sand and digest whatever【C6】________ are present. Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish brown to sand color and nearly white. One form even has vivid purple tentacles. Usually the creatures are cucumber shaped—hence their name—and because they are typically rock inhabitants, this shape,【C7】________ with flexibility, enables them to squeeze into crevices where they are safe from【C8】________ and ocean currents. The most【C9】________ thing about the sea cucumber is the way it【C10】________ itself. Its major enemies are fish and crabs. When attacked, it squirts all its internal organs into water. It also casts off attached structures such as tentacles. The sea cucumber will remove its organs and regenerate itself if it is attacked or even touched; it will do the same if the surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted.
A. nutrients B. spectacular C. peculiarities D. adoptable
E. defends F. eccentricities G. exactly H. predators
I. hides J. adaptable K. subsisted L. nourishment
M. combined N. preys O. supremely [br] 【C1】
选项
答案
C
解析
上下文/词义辨析题。根据词性,此处可填入名词。文章开篇指出“…no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber.”点出关键词odd,下文的“unusual,bizarre”都再次强调了文章中心词。选项中可选范围为“peculiarities,eccentricities”,两者都有“古怪的”这一含义,但peculiarity侧重“特性”,可以是古怪的,也可以强调独特的,如:Each nation Can have its own peculiarities when it comes to doing business.“每个民族做生意时都有自己的特色”;而eccentricity则强调“古怪”,如:He soon exhibited signs of eccentricity.“他的怪异举止很快显露出来”。此处表示“虽然每种生物都有其独特之处,但海参的方方面面都很奇怪”,故此处最佳答案为peculiarities,强调生物的独特之处。
