Reading Comprehension Section A 1.Scientists now believe that many, if not all, living things are born with
21、some type of hidden clock. These clocks are sometimes set by the number of hours of light or darkness in a day, by the rhythm of the tides or by the seasons. One of the most remarkable of natures living clocks belongs to the fiddler crab, that familiar beach-dweller with tile overgrown claw. Biologi
22、sts have long known that the crabs shell is darkest during the day, grows pale in late afternoon, then begins to darken again at daybreak. This daytime darkening is valuable for protection against enemies and sunlight, and for many years it was thought to be a simple response by the crab to the sun-
23、just as if we were to get a tan during the day and lose it at night. But when an enterprising scientist placed a fiddler crab in darkness, be was amazed to find that the color of the crabs shell kept ticking off the time with the same accuracy. Yet another startling fact was revealed: the crabs shel
24、l reached the darkest color about 50 minutes later each day. There was a second clock inside the crab, for the tides also occur 50 minutes later from day to day. Moreover, even when the crabs were taken from the beach and put back in the dark, they continued their tidal rhythm. More research disclos
25、ed that a crab from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, reached its darkest color four hours earlier than the one taken from a beach on a neighboring island. The tides on the nearby island were found to be exactly four hours later than the Cape Cod tides. Ants dont carry calendars around with them any more tha
26、n fiddler crabs possess real wrist watches. But ants show amazing accuracy as to the day of the year. Each year, an ant nest sends out winged, young queens on mating flights. Hundreds of them may fly out of a single nest in the soil. Last summer, at the crest of my mountain, I watched an ant city pr
27、epare to send forth its young queens. At the precise moment that they took wing, a colony of the same species that my wife was watching near the bottom of the mountain, also sent its queen on a wedding flight. There was, of course, no way could the two colonies have checked take off time with each o
28、then Entomologist Albro T. Gaul once jotted down in his notebook that a particular the same time! This split-second timing is not always the rule. However, most flights take place within a definite period of time. Birds also have built-in timepieces which send them off on fall and spring migrations.
29、 What the birds really have is a clock like mechanism which allows them to time hours of darkness or light in each day. But what sends birds northward again in the spring? New research by Dr. Albert Wdifson of Northwestern University seems to indicate that the timing of return flight is extraordinar
30、ily complex. In the fall of the year the short days and long nights cause the clocks in migratory birds to undergo a kind of winding in preparation for their spring return and breeding. Then during the late fall and winter as the clock ticks, certain physiological changes occur in the bird. The leng
31、th of each day during the winter determines how fast the clock will run, and hence when the alarm will ring for the spring migration. The clock continues to run through breeding time, then stops-to be re-wound again the next fall.41. The alarm clock that determines the activity of certain living things is governed控制 by _. A. hours of daylight白昼 B. the time of day in their native environments C. the moon D. something we dont understand completely42. The fiddler crab seems to darken his color according to _. A. amount of daylight B. time of tides C
