C
解析:问题中的关键词是kill,本题说鲸鱼能发出比海豚更强烈的超声波去杀死猎物。利用信息词Sperm whales,ultrasonic waves和prey作为答案线索,对应原文第五段,“They do a whole range of other sounds like barks.groans and a kind of gunshot.”he said.“The gunshot is an intense pulse of sound.Sperm whales use it to stun their prey.”原文说鲸鱼会发出高脉冲声波恐吓猎物,未提及杀死猎物的内容,因此选C。
