Давайте разберем текст и подберем подходящие слова для каждого пропуска. **Текст с пропусками:** These predators are born on the east and west coasts of North America, as well as in the south of Africa and Southwest Australia. Some of the people visualize them as mindless **(a)** machines, but it's only half true. A baby great white shark is about 5 feet (1.5 meters) long at birth, and it can **(B)** ____ to be up to four times that size when it reaches maturity. The pup (as a baby shark is known) will remain at the top of the ocean's food **(C)** _____ for the rest of its existence. The great white shark has a grey underbelly or a white underbelly. It has a sharp snout and a crescent-shaped tail. It has approximately 3000 teeth **(D)** _____ are arranged in several rows. The teeth in the first two rows are used to catch and cut smaller fish. Like a steak knife, the teeth are shaped like triangles. The lifespan of a great white shark ranges from 30 to 100 years. Overfishing and accidental entanglement in nets are reducing the number of great white sharks. The great white shark is classified as an **(E)** _____ species. **Слова из списка:** 1. Which 2. Killing 3. Miserable 4. Grow 5. Endangered 6. Caught 7. Chain ### Подбор слов: **(a)** Для первой пропущенной части выберем слово, которое описывает, как люди воспринимают акул. Слово "killing" („убийственные“) не подходит, так как здесь уместно слово "miserable" (что означает "жалкий"), но лучше всего использовать "machines" в контексте о бесчувственности. Однако, это слово нужно перепроверить, что в начале текста по смыслу проще сказать, что их воспринимают как бездушные "machines". **(B)** Для второго пропуска подходим слово "grow" (расти). Это логично, так как мы говорим о том, что акула может вырасти до 4 раз больше. **(C)** В третьем пропуске нужно слово, описывающее "цепь". Здесь подходит слово "chain", поскольку это значит "цепь" в контексте пищевой цепи. **(D)** Для четвертого пропуска подойдут слова "which". Оно вводит уточнение о зубах акулы. **(E)** Для последнего пропуска слово "endangered" (угрожаемый) подходит для описания состояния вида. ### Заполненный текст: These predators are born on the east and west coasts of North America, as well as in the south of Africa and Southwest Australia.
