1.这篇短文给我们讲述了一个科学新发现,这句话说的是科学家们发现了世界上最小的鱼。这是这篇短文的中心,放在短文的开头,先点明文章的主题,故应该选D。
2.这句话是对这种最小的鱼的一个简单介绍,他们真的很小,成熟的雌性才不到三分之一英寸那么长。因此这一选项是承接上文而来,给我们介绍这种最小的鱼。故选C。
3.这里引用了一个科学家的话,这是他看到过的最奇怪的鱼。并且他希望能更多的了解这种鱼。这句话承接了上文的意思,并引出了他们的栖息地,这和下文的内容有关。故选E。
4.这里给我们介绍的是这种鱼生活的地方,是在印度尼西亚的酸性煤炭沼泽。由于不受抑制的发展和农业,这种沼泽快要消失了,这也导致这种鱼也快要灭绝了。故选A。
5.这一段说的是过去人们认为在这种酸性煤炭沼泽里,不会有动物存在,但是最近的研究发现,它里面有很多奇特的生物。根据文意可知,这句话跟上文是有联系的,故选B。
