　　The human criterion for perfect vision is 20/20 for reading the standard lines on a Snellen eye chart without a hitch. The score is determined by how well you read lines of letters of different sizes from 20 feetaway. But being able to read the bottom line on the eye chart does not approximate perfection as far as other species are concerned. Most birds would consider us very visually handicapped. The hawk. for instance,has such sharp eyes that it can spot a dime on the sidewalk while perched on top of the Empire State Building+ It can make fine visual distinctions because it is blessed with one million cones per square millimeter in its retina(視網(wǎng)膜). And in water, humans are farsighted. while the kingfisher, swooping down to spear fish. can see well in both the air and water because it is endowed with two foveae.(凹窩)-areas of the eye, consisting mostly of cones. that provide visual distinctions. One fovea permits the bird, while in theair. to scan the water below with one eye at a time. This is called monocular vision. Once it hits the water, the other fovea joins in, allowing the kingfisher to focus both eyes, like binoculars, on its prey at the same time. A frog's vision is distinguished by its ability to perceive things as a constant motion picture. Known as "bug detectors", a highly developed set of cells in a frog's eyes responds mainly to movingobjects. So, it is said that a frog sitting in a field of dead bugs wouldn’t see them as food and would starve.

　　The bee has a "compound" eye. which is used for navigation. It has 15,000 facets that divide what it sees into a pattern of dots. or mosaic. With this hind of vision, the bee sees the sun only as a single dot, a constant point of reference. Thus. the eye is a superb navigational instrument that constantly measures the angle of its line of flight in relation to the sun. A bee's eye also gauges flight speed. And if that isnot enough to leave our 20/20 "perfect vision” paling into insignificance. the bee is capable of seeing something we can't-ultraviolet light. Thus,what humans consider to be "perfect vision” is in fact rather limited when we look at other species. However, there is still much to be said for the human eye. Of all the mammals, only humans and some primates can enjoy the pleasures of color vision.1. The Snellen eye chart measures one's eyesight by__________________.

　　答案：

　　1.Snellen視力表是通過(guò)什么來(lái)測(cè)量一個(gè)人的視力的?

　　A)受試者能夠看清的行數(shù)。

　　B)受試者離視力表距離的遠(yuǎn)近。

　　C)受試者識(shí)別字母的速度。

　　D)幾個(gè)綜合的因素。

　　[A]首段第2句中的lines of letters和第3句中的bottom line表明視力的好壞是依靠看到視力表的行數(shù)來(lái)決定的，選項(xiàng)A為本題答案。首段第2句表明測(cè)驗(yàn)視力時(shí)距離是預(yù)先設(shè)定的，選項(xiàng)B不正確;選項(xiàng)C屬于無(wú)中生有，原文并未提及該內(nèi)容;文中只提到視力的好壞取次于能看到多少行字母這一因索，并沒(méi)有提到其他因素，故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。

　　2.鷹眼比人眼好在什么地方?

　　A)鷹眼可以比人更快地識(shí)別小的物體。

　　B)鷹眼可以從更遠(yuǎn)的距離來(lái)看清物體。

　　C)鷹眼視網(wǎng)膜的圓錐細(xì)胞比人眼多。

　　D)鷹眼比人眼大。

　　[B]首段笫5句中的while perched on top of the Empire State Building表明本句強(qiáng)調(diào)的是鷹能看到距離很遠(yuǎn)的物件，由此可見(jiàn)，選項(xiàng)B為本題答案。從首段第5句中的dime一詞可以推斷鷹可以看到很小的物件，但原文并沒(méi)有暗示它辨認(rèn)物件的速度，更沒(méi)有在這方面與人眼作比較，因此選項(xiàng)A不正確;首段第6句只是指出鷹眼的視網(wǎng)膜每平方毫米有100萬(wàn)個(gè)圓錐細(xì)胞，但并沒(méi)有對(duì)比人眼和鷹眼所具有的圓錐細(xì)胞的總數(shù)，因此選項(xiàng)C不正確;原文并來(lái)提及與選項(xiàng)D有關(guān)的內(nèi)容。

　　3.單眼視力讓翠鳥(niǎo)能夠_________________。

　　A)避免遠(yuǎn)視

　　B)看到水底的東西

　　C)一次轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)一個(gè)眼睛

　　D)讓眼睛聚焦在獵物上

　　[C]首段第9句中的This表明前一句(即第8句)就是monocular vision的定義，很明顯，選項(xiàng)C為本題答案。首段第7句表明翠鳥(niǎo)在水里能看得清楚，不會(huì)像人類(lèi)那樣遠(yuǎn)視，是因?yàn)樗劬镉袃蓚€(gè)凹窩區(qū)域，并非因?yàn)樗哂袉窝垡曈X(jué)，因此選項(xiàng)A和B都不正確;根據(jù)該段第10句可知兩個(gè)凹窩區(qū)域同時(shí)發(fā)揮作用才能使翠鳥(niǎo)把目光聚焦到獵物身上，因此選項(xiàng)D不正確。

　　4.蜜蜂是通過(guò)什么來(lái)辨別方向的?

　　A)將它看見(jiàn)的東西分成幾千個(gè)點(diǎn)。

　　B)不斷地測(cè)量自己的飛行速度。

　　C)始終將太陽(yáng)視作一個(gè)參照點(diǎn)。

　　D)測(cè)量太陽(yáng)的角度。

　　[C]第2段第3，4句描述了蜜蜂利用太陽(yáng)導(dǎo)航的機(jī)制，將選項(xiàng)與這些細(xì)節(jié)對(duì)照可以知道選項(xiàng)C為正確的說(shuō)法。選項(xiàng)A是蜜蜂的成像機(jī)制，雖然眼睛必然與導(dǎo)航有關(guān)，但單靠成像并不能起到導(dǎo)航的作用，因此選項(xiàng)A不是蜜蜂尋找方向的方法：選項(xiàng)B中的gauging its flying speed也跟蜜蜂尋找方向無(wú)關(guān)：第2段第4句表明蜜蜂測(cè)量的是飛行路線(xiàn)和太陽(yáng)的夾角，而不是測(cè)量太陽(yáng)的角度，因此選項(xiàng)D不正確。

　　5.本文的主旨是什么?

　　A)人類(lèi)的跟晴和其他物種的眼睛的不同之處。

　　B)相較于人的眼睛，其他物種的眼睛的優(yōu)勢(shì)。

　　C)其他物種的眼睛優(yōu)于人類(lèi)的眼睛有哪一些要素。

　　D)決定人類(lèi)眼睛的“完美視力”的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。

　　[A]首段前3句通過(guò)描述人類(lèi)測(cè)試視力的方法引出人類(lèi)的視力不如其他物種這個(gè)話(huà)題，然后作者舉了4個(gè)例予說(shuō)明這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，而在第2段末句作者又指出人類(lèi)視力在某一方面優(yōu)于其他物種，由此可見(jiàn)，本文主要通過(guò)舉例說(shuō)明人類(lèi)和其他物種在視力上的不同，由此可見(jiàn)，選項(xiàng)A概括了全文內(nèi)容。第2段末句指出了人類(lèi)視力也有優(yōu)于其他物種視力的地方，選項(xiàng)B和C都強(qiáng)調(diào)其他物種的視力好，概括都不夠全面;選項(xiàng)D只能概括文章首句的內(nèi)容，其他的內(nèi)容均未包括在內(nèi)。
