Bird wings have a much more complex job to do than wings of an airplane, for in addition to supporting the bird they must act as its engine, rowing it through the air. Even so the wing outline of a bird conforms to the same aerodynamic principles as those eventually discovered by people when designing airplanes, and if you know how different kind of aircraft perform, you can predict the flight capabilities of similarly shaped birds.
Short, stubby wings enable a tanager and other forest-living to swerve and dodge at speed through the undergrowth, just as they helped the fighter planes of the Second Word War to make tight turns and acrobatic maneuvers in a dog-fight. More modem fighters achieve greater speeds by sweeping back their wings while in flight, just as peregrines do when they go into a 130 kph dive, swooping to a kill. Championship gliders have long, thin wings so that, having gained height in a thermal up-current they can soar gently down for hours and an albatross, the largest of flying birds, with a similar wing shape and a span of 3 meters, can patrol the ocean for hours in the same way without a single wing beat. Vultures and hawks circle at very slow speeds supported by a thermal and they have the broad rectangular wings that very slow-flying aircraft have. People have not been able to adapt wings to provide hovering flight. That has only been achieved with the whirling, horizontal blades of a helicopter or the downward-pointing engines of a vertical landing jet. Hummingbirds have paralleled even this. They tilt their bodies so that they are almost upright and then beat their wings as fast as 80 times a second producing a similar downdraft of air. So the hummingbird can hover and even fly backwards.
What’s the main idea of the passage?
选项
A、Bird wings are more complex than airplane wings.
B、People design airplane by looking at the wing shapes of birds.
C、How we can make the airplane wings more efficient.
D、The wings of birds and airplanes conform to the same aerodynamic principles.
答案
D
解析
根据文章第一段最后一句“Even so the wing outline of a bird conforms to the sameaerodynamic principles as those eventually discovered by people when designing airplanes,and ifyou know how different kind of aircraft perform,you can predict the flight capabilities of similarlyshaped birds.”可知,即便如此,鸟类翅膀的轮廓与人们最终发现并应用于飞机设计的空气动力学原理是吻合的。如果你了解不同飞机的飞行性能,你就能够判断出具有同样形状翅膀的鸟儿的飞行能力。这一句起到总领全文的作用。据此判断,本题选D。
