Many people think that the dinosaurs(恐龙) were the biggest animals that ever lived. They are wrong. The world's biggest animal is still living, and it lives in the sea.

The whale is not only the world's biggest animal, it is also one of the (clever). We know that whales can communicate with one (other), although we do not know what they are saying. One day perhaps we will learn to talk to whales, and then they will be able to tell us about (they).
There are lots of stories whales, and maybe the most famous one is called Moby Dick, which was (write) by the American writer, Herman Melville. In this story, a sailor ——Captain Ahab spends a lot of time trying to find and kill very big white whale named Moby Dick. (Sad), there are not many kinds of whales left. People have killed them for (thousand) of years for food and other things. However, there are now laws(法律) to stop people killing most kinds of whales, so perhaps there will be more of them in the years to come.
【答案】and；weighed；cleverest；another；themselves；about；written；a；Sadly；thousands
【解析】短文大意：很多人认为恐龙曾经是最大的动物。他们错了。世界上最大的动物仍然是活着的，它生活在海洋里。它被称为蓝鲸，蓝鲸可以长30米，而且重1000公斤。最大的恐龙也只有500公斤。鲸鱼不仅是世界上最大的动物，也是最聪明的动物之一。
（1）句意：蓝鲸可以长30米，并且重1000公斤。此处表示并列关系，所以填写连词and，和，并且。
（2）句意：最大的恐龙重量只有500公斤。根据语境可知该用一般过去时，所以填写过去式weighed，重。
（3）句意：鲸鱼不仅是世界上最大的动物，也是最聪明的动物之一。根据one of 可知该用最高级形式，所以填写cleverest，最聪明的。
（4）句意：我们知道鲸鱼可以互相交流，虽然我们不知道他们在说什么。one another彼此，相互，是一个固定短语，所以填写another。
（5）句意：也许有一天我们会学习和鲸鱼谈话，然后他们就可以告诉我们他们自己的情况。本句主语为they ，所以填写反身代词themselves，他们自己。
（6）句意：关于鲸有很多故事。此处表示故事的内容，所以填写介词about，关于。
（7）句意：也许最著名的一个是美国作家，赫尔曼梅尔维尔写的。由by the American writer, Herman Melville 可知该用被动语态，所以填写过去分词形式written 。
（8）句意：在这个故事中，一个水手——亚哈船长花费大量时间试图找到并杀死一个名叫莫比·迪克的大白鲸。此处表示数量“一”， very 是一个以辅音音素开头的单词，所以填写不定冠词a。
（9）句意：可悲的是有很多种鲸鱼已经离开了。所填词独立于句首作状语，所以填写副词形式Sadly。
（10）句意：但是数千年来人们杀死它们作为食品和其他东西。thousands of数以千计的，是一个固定短语，所以填写thousands。
