【答案】42.D43.B44.C45.C

【語篇解讀】本文講述了虎鯨Kiska的經歷并呼吁人們保護海洋動物。

【42題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據"KiskathekillerleftMarinelandtheoneininafterConventiontheofcame

force.”可知，基斯卡是海洋世界僅存的虎鯨，所以說她是世界上最孤獨的鯨魚。故選D。

【43題詳解】

詞義猜測題。根據"they'resad”可知，人們聽到Kiaka的故事是傷心和生氣的，所以outraged

與Angry"憤怒的"同義。故選B。

【44題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據最后一段"ActivistswerehopingKiskawouldbethefirstwhalesetfree（釋

放）intoanewwhalesanctuary（保護區(qū)）plannedfortheNovaScotiacoast.“可知，權益保護

者們仍然希望這個保護區(qū)能成為海洋世界其他白鯨和海豚的家園，希望更多的海洋動物能夠

被釋放。故選C

【45題詳解】

最孤獨的鯨魚，C項”世界上最孤獨的鯨魚在海洋世界死去”最合適。故選C。
