How do the birds manage to find their way? There seems to be no single answer: they use many methods. Some we are beginning to understand; and there may be some that depend on abilities we have not yet suspected. Many birds certainly follow major geographical features. Migrants follow recognized land, fly over familiar sea and arrive at their summer homes.
But all birds cannot use such straightforward methods. An Arctic sea bird, for example, has to fly at least 3,000 kilometers across the Antarctic Ocean with no land to guide it. We know that some birds flying at night, navigate by the star for on cloudy nights they tend to get lost.
Day-flying birds may use the sun. If they are to do so, they must have a precise sense of time. Still others appear to be able to use the earth’ s magnetic field as a guide. So it seems that many migrating birds must carry in their brains a clock, a compass and the memory of a map.
选项
A、They use a map and the memory of location.
B、They use the sun and the stars.
C、They use a map and the earth’s magnetic field.
D、They have precise sense of time or may use the earth’s magnetic field.
答案
D
解析
此题的问题是:"How do day-flying birds find their way?"根据"day-flying"可排除B项。整篇文章讲的是鸟如何确定飞行方向,找到迁徙的正确路线。而鸟是不可能用地图的,文中的 "the memory of a map"指的是对地貌的记忆,而非真的地图。只有D项最符合要求。“Day-flying birds may use the sun.If they do so,they must have a precise sense of time.Still others appear to be able to use the earth’s magnetic field”。
