The blue whale is the largest animal on earth. It has a long body and its length is around 25 metres. Some blue whales can even be 30 metres long. The average weight of the blue whale is 150 to 180 tons.
Among all animals, the blue whale has the biggest heart in the world. Its heart is as big as the tyre（轮胎）of a large truck.
The blue whale has a big and strong heart, but its heart doesn't beat fast. Our hearts usually beat about 70 times per minute. The blue whale's heart beats only about 9 times per minute.

本题分为两部分，Ⅴ题需根据上下文语境选择方框内形容词的最高级形式补全短文；Ⅵ题是阅读理解，需结合短文内容分析每个问题的答案。解题时先梳理Ⅴ题各空的语境：1题对应蓝鲸是世界上最大的动物，2题对应猎豹是跑得最快的陆地动物，3题对应苔藓是出现最早的植物，4题对应红杉是最高的树；Ⅵ题则需定位原文细节，逐一分析选项得出答案。
【解析】
Ⅴ. 1. 根据后文“it is the blue whale”及常识，蓝鲸是世界上最大的动物，故填biggest；2. 根据后文“the cheetah runs faster than any other land animal”，猎豹是跑得最快的陆地动物，故填fastest；3. 根据后文“moss appeared on earth around 470 million years ago”，苔藓是出现最早的植物，故填oldest；4. 根据后文“it is the redwood tree”及常识，红杉是世界上最高的树，故填tallest。
Ⅵ. 1. 短文第二段提到“the blue whale has the biggest heart... Its heart is as big as the tyre of a large truck”，用卡车轮胎类比是为了说明蓝鲸心脏大，选A；2. 第三段“its heart doesn't beat fast”结合语境，beat在此处意为“跳动”，选C；3. 短文第三段提到人的心跳约70次/分钟，蓝鲸约9次/分钟，差值为70-9=61，选B；4. 短文提到了蓝鲸的长度、重量、心跳，未提及声音，选C；5. 短文围绕蓝鲸展开，属于动物相关内容，可能来自《Animal World》，选D。
