    语义题。第三段第一句指出“Seemingly prompted by an unknown substance secreted by fish, the aggressive creature swims into action.”，substance secreted by fish意为“鱼类分泌的一种物质”。prompt在此处指“刺激，唤起”，因此与stimulate表达意义相符。

    compared with

    正确答案： D
    解析：
    划线部分前面提到“青少年想花一些时间和父母一起做一些事情”，然后用but转折说明“看电视”与“一起共度时光”的关系，由此可推出，看电视不能看作是一起共度时光。因此regarded as“看作是”符合题意，因此选D项。compared with与……比较。used as被用作是。connected with与……联系。
