This room is devoted to electric fish. The eel in the tank behind me can produce a strong jolt of electricity to stun its prey. But most of the fish in here produce only weak electrical impulses that are useful for navigating, locating food and even for communicating. The knife fish is a good example. This fish navigates using tiny receptors in the skin that are sensitive to electrical impulses.(23)The knife fish produces an electrical signal and the receptors in its skin let it know when the signal is distorted by a tree root or some other obstacle so it can go around it. Fish also use the ability to produce and detect electrical impulses to communicate. They can tell each other what species they belong to, how big they are, and whether they are male or female.(24)We have a tank here specially equipped to convert the inaudible signals that the fish produce into sounds you can hear when you put on these headphones. I urge you all to listen when I’m done speaking. Now have a look at the eiectric rays. Rays are especially interesting to medical researchers because of the organs they use to produce electricity. These organs contain a chemical that carries signals from one nerve ending to the next. Not only in rays but also in people.(25)By studying these organs scientists hope to learn more a-bout diseases that interrupt the transmission of impulses from one nerve to another.
23. What does the knife fish use electricity for?
24. Why does the speaker suggest putting on headphones?
25. According to the speaker, what medical benefits might result from studying electrical rays?
选项
A、To destroy tree roots.
B、To digest its food.
C、To protect its territory.
D、To find its way.
答案
D
解析
由“The knife fish produces anelectrical signal and the receptors in its skin letit know when the signal is distorted by a treeroot or some other obstacle so it can go aroundit.”可知刀鱼发出信号是为了躲避障碍。所以答案为D)。
