[2023·浙江省杭州市一模]Three million years may seem like a long time. But when you consider that planet Earth is more than 4.5 billion years old, it is a pretty short period of time.

They can grow 2.________ 30 meters long and be as heavy as 130，000 kilograms. 3.________ for millions of years, they were not nearly that large, scientists say. “All of a sudden—‘boom’— we see them get very big, ” scientist Nick Pyenson said. He and other 4.________ (researcher) recently published an article on whale size. “It's like going from whales 5.________ size of minivans (面包车) to longer than two school buses, ” Pyenson added.
The scientists believe that a change in the Earth's climate caused whales 6.________ (get) so large only about 3 million years ago. This change led to food becoming more 7.________ (easy) available. An oncoming ice age made the ocean water cold and brought more nutrients, resulting in more food for large whales. Whales 8.________ were able to quickly eat a lot of food survived, and got 9.________ (large). Over the next three or four million years, the blue whales grew 10 times bigger than they 10.________ (be), the scientists say.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。旨在介绍鲸鱼体积逐渐变大的原因。
1．答案与解析：weighing 考查现在分词。动词weigh“重量为”与主语whales“鲸鱼”为主动关系，且此处为后置定语，故使用现在分词形式。
2．答案与解析：to 考查介词。此处填介词to构成grow to，表示“长到多大多重”。
3．答案与解析：But/Yet 考查连词。根据前文“They can grow to 30 meters long and be as heavy as 130，000 kilograms.”可知，前后两句指出鲸鱼重量不一样，形成了转折，故使用连词But或者Yet。
4．答案与解析：researchers 考查名词复数。名词researcher“研究人员”前未出现表示单数形式的量词和冠词，且有other修饰，故需要使用复数形式。
5．答案与解析：the 考查冠词。空格处需要填写冠词the，构成the size of“……的大小”特指鲸鱼相当于后文提出的面包车的大小。
6．答案与解析：to get 考查不定式。cause sb. to do sth.意为“导致某人做某事”。
7．答案与解析：easily 考查副词。形容词easy“容易的”要使用副词形式easily，修饰后面的形容词available“可获得的”。
8．答案与解析：that/which 考查关系词。此处需要填写连词引导定语从句修饰先行词whales“鲨鱼”因为先行词为物，且在从句中作主语，故使用which和that皆可。
9．答案与解析：larger 考查形容词。句意：能够快速吃掉大量食物的鲸鱼幸存下来，体型也变大了。可知，吃得多的鲸鱼存活下来，而且前文一直探讨的是体积的变大，故此处形容词large“大的”应该使用比较级形式。
10．答案与解析：had been 考查时态。此处be“是”使用过去完成时，表示蓝鲸体积变大之前的体型，因为句中已经有一般过去时的谓语动词grew表示过去已经长了十倍；而主语they为复数，故使用had been。
七．写作高分表达
1. As time went by, I gradually adapted myself to the school life.

【核心短语】
go by 流逝
