Then whats the worlds largest fish? Its the whale shark.Although the whale shark is our biggest fish and lives in many oceans around the world, few people have ever heard of it. Scientists have not been studying whale sharks for very long. Much more needs to be learned about them.A whale shark is sometimes called a “gentle giant (温柔的巨人)”. It likes to be alone and doesnt care a bit about divers or humans. The biggest whale shark weighed 24,250 pounds and was nearly 40 feet long. This makes it heavier and longer than a school bus. Inside its huge mouth are great numbers of very small teeth. To count all of them, youll need to do some maths. The whale sharks teeth are arranged in rows. There are between eleven and thirteen rows on each jaw (颚) and around three hundred teeth in each row. However, the whale shark rarely uses its teeth. It does not chew or bite its food. Large amounts of water are pulled into its mouth and then pushed out through its gills (鳃). For a few months every year, a group of whale sharks comes to Ningaloo Reef, off Western Australia. This gives scientists a wonderful chance to study the large fish. Whale sharks do live in other oceans of the world, but no one knows their population. It is possible that our biggest fish may need protecting. It is one of the reasons why scientists continue to learn all they can about these gentle giants.( )41.Little is known about whale sharks because scientists _.A. are not interested in learning about themB. find them too difficult to catchC. do not know the best places to find themD. have studied them for a short time( )42.Which sentence can tell us that whale sharks are gentle?A.
