本文介紹了鯡魚。鯡魚總是成群結(jié)隊(duì)地一起游泳。它們以同樣的速度向同樣的方向游動(dòng)。鯡魚沒有防御武器用來對(duì)付海里的許多敵人。因此它們會(huì)擠在一起，這樣群里的魚會(huì)受到外面魚的身體的保護(hù)。所以集群行動(dòng)在鯡魚的生活中，有著極其重要的意義和作用。

【1】句意：鯡魚總是成群結(jié)隊(duì)地游泳，被稱為魚群。

由語境和所給的首字母提示可知，應(yīng)該填：call；分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本題應(yīng)該用call的過去分詞形式，做后置定語，修飾后面的名詞schools。故答案為：called。

【2】句意：因?yàn)闆]有一條魚比其他魚更老或更聰明，所以沒有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者或“老師”。

根據(jù)“In a school of herring, all the fish are about the same size and age.”在一群鯡魚中，所有的魚都差不多大小和年齡。可知，應(yīng)該是沒有一條魚比其他魚更老或更聰明，所以沒有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者或“老師”。再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，應(yīng)該填none，none表示三個(gè)或多于三個(gè)人、事物中“一個(gè)都沒有”的意思，none做主語，多與of 構(gòu)成短語 none of；故答案為：none。

【3】句意：所有的魚在一個(gè)魚群里以同樣的方向和速度游泳。

根據(jù)“When one turns, they all turn.”當(dāng)一個(gè)人轉(zhuǎn)身，他們都會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)身�？芍�，它們應(yīng)該是以同樣的方向游泳；再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，應(yīng)該填direction，the same direction：同樣的方向。故答案為：direction。

【4】句意：鯡魚以集群行動(dòng)的方式游泳的一個(gè)原因是它們能受到更多的保護(hù)。

根據(jù)“Herring have no defense weapons (防衛(wèi)武器) to use a 5 their many enemies in the sea.”鯡魚沒有防御武器用來對(duì)付海里的許多敵人�？芍�，這是鯡魚以集群的方式游泳的一個(gè)原因。再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，應(yīng)該填reason，reason用作及物動(dòng)詞時(shí)，通常接that從句作賓語。故答案為：reason。

【5】句意：鯡魚沒有防御武器用來對(duì)付海里的許多敵人。

分析句子“Herring have no defense weapons (防衛(wèi)武器) to use a 5 their many enemies in the sea.”的結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本題應(yīng)該填一個(gè)介詞，再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，應(yīng)該填against；against介詞，反對(duì)；該句話的語境是：鯡魚沒有防御武器用來對(duì)付海里的許多敵人。故答案為：against。

【6】句意：當(dāng)它們擠在一起的時(shí)候，群里的魚會(huì)受到外面魚的身體的保護(hù)。

根據(jù)“When they crowded together, the fish inside the group are p 6 by the bodies of the ones on the outside.”可知，當(dāng)它們擠在一起的時(shí)候，群里的魚應(yīng)該是會(huì)受到外面魚的身體的保護(hù)。再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，應(yīng)該填protect；在發(fā)現(xiàn)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本題應(yīng)該用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)的被動(dòng)句。其結(jié)構(gòu)是：am/is/are+動(dòng)詞的過去分詞。be protected by：被……保護(hù)。故答案為：protected。

【7】句意：一群近距離游泳的鯡魚看起來像一條強(qiáng)壯的大魚。

根據(jù)“Some enemies may be frightened away by the large shape.”一些敵人可能會(huì)被這個(gè)巨大的形狀嚇跑。可知，一群近距離游泳的鯡魚看起來像一條強(qiáng)壯的大魚。再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，應(yīng)該填strong；strong形容詞“強(qiáng)壯的，強(qiáng)大的”，做定語修飾后面的名詞。故答案為：strong。

【8】句意：隨著鯡魚越來越大，魚群會(huì)受到更大，更饑餓的魚的攻擊。

根據(jù)空后面的形容詞larger，可知，前面應(yīng)該有一個(gè)系動(dòng)詞，再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，應(yīng)該填grow；grow有“逐漸變化”的含義，強(qiáng)調(diào)變化的過程。其前面的主語the herring是單數(shù)，因此grow用三單形式。故答案為：grows。

【9】句意：幸存者們呆在較小的集群里或加入另一個(gè)鯡魚集群。

根據(jù)“Each time some herring are lost, but many survive.”每次都有一些鯡魚丟了，但很多都活了下來�？芍�，這些活下來的鯡魚仍會(huì)待在一起。再結(jié)合首字母提示可知，應(yīng)該填together；stay together：呆在一起。故答案為：together。

【10】句意：雌鯡魚三四歲才下蛋。

句子“they are three or four years old.”是一個(gè)表示時(shí)間的句子，因此前面應(yīng)該用until引導(dǎo)，not…until…：直到……才……；故答案為：until。
