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.

答案
K
解析
词义辨析题。根据词性,此处应当填入形容词。此处强调鲸鱼的特殊性,因为前人从未研究过。可选范围为“different,peculiar”,但前者强调不同,后者强调独特。根据上文“original research”可见此处强调研究的独特性,而不是强调鲸鱼与其他动物的差异性,故选peculiar“独特的”。
