What is the biggest animal of all? The whale (鲸) is. A blue whale weighs more than a hundred tons(吨). Whales live in the sea, but they are not fish. They are mammals(哺乳动物) and must have air to breathe(呼吸). The babies drink milk from the mothers body. Every spring, groups of whales swim hundreds of kilometers to warm places.Each group goes to the same place every year. The mothers take very good care of their babies. Whales are a gentle kind of giant(温顺的庞然大物). They always live together and help each other. They “talk” to each other in the water with high noise that sounds like singing.Yet people kill over a hundred whales a day. They kill them to make many things. The whale dies very slowly an in great pain(疼痛). Some ships kill every whale they can find, even mother whales and babies. If things go on like this, there will be no young whales growing up and no mother whales having more young whales (产下幼仔).24 . _ are the biggest animals on the earth.AElephantsBLionsCWhalesDI dont know25 .

The first spacecraft with a human was sent up into space in 1961. Since then, people have not only traveled to space, but also many of them have lived there in space stations for some time.The Soviet Union(前苏联) sent the first space station into space in 1971. This space station was called Salyut 1. Salyut 1 was designed as a place where people could live while they observed space and did experiments. The first group of astronauts lived there for 23 days. The Soviet Union went on to make seven more Salyut space stations. At about the same time, the United States built its own space station, called Skylab.Astronauts visited and often lived in these space stations for a short time. However, it wasnt until the late 1980s when The Soviet Union sent the Mir space station that people began to live in space for a longer time. Mir stayed in space from 1989 until 2001, when it was decided that the space station was too old and no longer safe to live in.Living in space stations seems to be fun, but astronauts face many problems. One of them is food. All the meals on space station are put together on Earth and sent there by space shuttle. Because the food has to last a long time (sometimes up to three months), a lot of it has to be stored in cans. The space station does not have a fridge, but it has a cool room to keep fruit and vegetables fresh. Astronauts also eat many other foods such as dried meat that do not need special care.Without the help of gravity, sitting down to eat can be tough. Astronauts sometimes have to fix themselves to the wall while eating. They also have to be very careful to that food does not float away.27 .

What can we infer(推断)from the passage?AAstronauts can never have a chance to eat fresh food when they live in space station.BThe Soviet Union sent a total of 9 space stations into space in the 1970s and 1980s.CAstronauts could live in the Mir space station for no more than three weeks.DSpace travel has quite a long history of more than 60 years.29 .
