Extinct but already fully marine cetaceans are known from the fossil recor

d. █ How was the gap between a walking mammal and a swimming whale bridge d? █ Missing until recently were fossils clearly intermediate, or transitional, betwee n land mammals and cetaceans. █ Very exciting discoveries have finally allowed sc ientists to reconstruct the most likely origins of cetaceans. █ In 1979, a term lookin g for fossils in northern Pakistan found what proved to be the oldest fossil whal

这道题利用This代词，然后直接插入第2个空们因为明显第2句话就是question，而代词This只能就近指代。

Since 1980, the use of wind to produce electricity has been growing rapidly. █I n 1994 there were nearly 20,000 wind turbines worldwide, most grouped in cluster s called wind farms that collectively produced 3,000 megawatts of electricity. █Mo st were in Denmark (which got 3 percent of its electricity from wind turbines) an

d California (wher

e 17,000 machines produced 1 percent o

f the state’s electricit y, enough to meet the residential needs of a city as large as San Francisco). █In pri

nciple, all the power needs of the United States could be provided by exploiting th e wind potential of just three states—North Dakota, South Dakota, and Texas. █

Some companies in the power industry are aware of this wider possibility an d are planning sizable wind-farm projects in states other than California.

这道题也是利用This后的wider possibility来尝试解决，结果发现没有直接的对应词，但是发现每句话的动词使用上有差别，只有最后一句话用了could，其他都是完成式+过去式，说明这件事已经完成了，而只有最后一句话的could能够表示一种愿景和可能，所以插入空为D
