11.For over 150years the blue whale has been the main target for whalers,who hunt the whale since it was a money-making catch because of its big size,which directly makes it now an endangered species.With a length of about 30meters,the blue whale tops the largest animal list in the world.It is believed that a full grown whale can be 30times the weight of a big elephant and live for 100years.There were as many as 100.000of these giant animals swimming in the oceans before hunting of the blue whale began,while now there might be only a small number of the blue whale.Although hunting the blue whale has been forbidden,with the females giving birth to only one young whale every two to three years and a gestation (怀孕) period lasting for as long as 11months,it doesn't help work out the problem.The World Conservation Union considers the species to be on the edge of dying out.
Oil spilled into the ocean prevents the blue whale's survival through stopping the whale from getting to the surface to"blast off"the waste air it keeps under the water because with the oil on the surface its skin will get covered and as a result,the whale's blowholes,through which it breathes,can be bloked by the oil.
With global warming,krill,which are very important in the Antarctic food chain,become fewer than before,leading to a damage in the food chain,while the damage of the food chain is one of reasons for the fall in the population of the blue whale.
The fishing ships and nets are also problems for the blue whale.Even if the blue whale has a large and strong body,it can be killed if hit by a stream ship or a fishing boat.And the nets that fishermen use can tangle the blue whale.
However,what's worse,the problems mentioned above aren't only for the blue whale.
64.What plays a key role in making the blue whale an endangered species?D
A.Global warming B.The oil pollution
C.Large ships and nets D.Human beings'hunting
65.Why is the problem still unsolved though hunting the blue whale has been forbidden?A
A.Because the blue whale produces only one baby every a few years.
B.Because the ocean becomes unfit for the blue whale to live in.
C.Because the protection for the blue whale is unsuccessful
D.Because the blue whale becomes too weak to survive
66.What trouble will the spilled oil cause for the blue whale?B
A.The blue whale will die if it drinks the oil
B.It makes the blue whale have difficulty feel sick
C.The smell of oil makes the blue whale feel sick
D.It causes serious disease for the blue whale
67.It can be inferred from the passage thatC
A.most of the ocean is seriously polluted by the spilled oil
B.human beings should raise krill to feed he blue whale
C.human beings'activities influence the sea life greatly
D.the blue whale should move to a new place to live.
