To us, the environment in which fish dwell often seems cold, dark and mysterious. But there are advantages of living in water.[1]And they’ve played an important role in making fish what they are.
One is that water isn’t subject to sudden temperature changes. Therefore it makes an excellent habitat for a cold-blooded animal. Another advantage is the water’s ability to easily support body weight.[2]Fish has approximately the same density as water. So a fish in water is almost weightless. This weightlessness in turn means two things: one is a fish can get along with a light weight and a simple bone structure; the other is limitations to a fish’s size are practically removed. Yet there’s one basic difficulty in living in water — the fact that it is incompressible. For a fish to move through water, it must actually shove water aside. Most can do this by wiggling back and forth in snake-like motion. The fish pushes water aside by the forward motion of its head and with a curve of its body and its flexible tail. Next the water flows back along the fish’s narrowing size, closing in at the tail and helping the fish propel itself forward.
The fact that water is incompressible has literally shaped the development of fish. A flat and angular shape can be moved through water only with difficulty. And for this reason, fish have a basic shape that is beautifully adapted to deal with this peculiarity.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
2.What does fish have in common with water, according to the passage?
3. What shaped the development of fish?
选项
A、The cold, dark living environment.
B、The incompressibility of water.
C、The removal of the habitat.
D、The high density of water.
答案
B
解析
细节题。短文最后提到,水的不可压缩性(water is incompressible)决定了鱼进化的形状,故答案为[B]。
