“水滴”船

  世界上最大的动物是什么?是生活在海洋里的哺乳动物——鲸。其中,最大的蓝鲸身长约30米,体重100吨左右,相当于30头大象或1000头公牛。  谁能想到,如此庞大的大鲸,(竞 竞)是海洋中最优秀的游泳健将之一。“海上霸王”虎鲸,每小时可游55公里;上百吨的抹香鲸还是海洋中的潜水冠军呢!另外,大鲸还有这样一些本领:既能从静止不动立(既 即)达到全速游动,又能马上“刹车”;既能快速下潜,也能快速上浮。这些本领,是任何舰艇都望尘莫及的。  鲸的体形特殊:硕大的头部,急速收缩的尾部,前肢演变成不大的鳍,后肢已经退化,整个身体像一(颗 棵)拉长了的“水滴”。这类体形能大大减少水的阻力,十分适合在水中活动。  舰船设计师们由大鲸的体形联想到船舶,设计了多种水滴似的鲸形船。(已 以)往的一些客轮、货轮的水下部分都是刀形,现在都改成鲸形,有的超级油轮也模(仿 妨)鲸的体形,因而加快了航速。  原先的核潜艇是雪茄形的,现在,出现了一些水滴形的现代化水下核潜艇。与雪茄形核潜艇相比,水滴形核潜艇所受到的水的阻力可以减少20%~30%,再加上核动力装置,功率有所增加,在水下航行时,速度有了大幅度的提高。1.在文中的括号内用“√”标出正确的汉字。2.选择正确的说法,在括号中打“√”。(1)鲸是一种哺乳动物。()(2)鲸是鱼类的一种。()(3)鲸有蓝鲸、大鲸、虎鲸、抹香鲸等种类。()3.“这些本领,是任何舰艇都望尘莫及的。”这句话中“这些本领”指哪些本领?“望尘莫及”是什么意思?___________________________4.文章是从哪几个方面来介绍鲸的?___________________________5.舰船设计师们从鲸身上得到哪些启示?为人类作出了什么贡献?___________________________
