第一篇：动物迁徙
版本1: 第一篇讲动物迁徙，根据cognitive map，举了几个例子。一种灰鲸靠海岸线，还有一种monarch butterfly，在夏季的迁徙地产卵并死去，其后代直接飞回来。还有就是靠太阳或者月亮，还讲了鸽子迁徙靠地磁。
版本2：说鸟有不同的导航方式，然后有的鸟用sun，有的用star，用star的鸟就有不同的生物钟，因为他们不需要配合太阳的变化。还有一些鸟的体内有铁元素，他们可以用来导航。
版本3： 文章主题是动物如何在迁移中判断方向的。作者举了一个灰鲸的例子，它们会利用海岸线的形状来判断迁徙的方向。还举了帝皇蝶的例子。还有的用内在的基因程序。
词汇：animal migration 动物迁徙
cognitive map 认知地图
genetic programme 基因程序
monarch butterfly 黑脉金斑蝶、帝王蝶
解析：本文围绕动物在迁徙的过程中依靠什么来进行定位为主题展开论证。文章举了关于动物迁徙的例子包括鸟、蝴蝶和鲸，具体描述对应的动物是如何依靠海岸线的形状、太阳与星星等等为标志物在迁徙的过程中判断方向的。从以往的经验看，关于以动物行为为背景的文章考查的频率非常高。同学们备考的时候需要准备一些与动物行为相关的背景词汇，这样在阅读的过程中可以降低由于词汇不熟悉产生的时间浪费。TPO中，与本文在题材与结构都非常相似的文章是TPO11的Orientation and Navigation。

Animal migration

Animal migration is the relatively long-distance movement of individuals, usually on a seasonal basis. It is found in all major animal groups, including birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and crustaceans.[1] The trigger for the migration may be local climate, local availability of food, the season of the year or for mating reasons.[2] To be counted as a true migration, and not just a local dispersal or irruption, the movement of the animals should be an annual or seasonal occurrence, such as birds migrating south for the winter; wildebeest migrating annually for seasonal grazing; or a major habitat change as part of their life, such as young Atlantic salmon leaving the river of their birth when they have reached a few inches in size.[3]
Definition[edit]
Migration can take very different forms in different species and as such, there is no simple accepted definition of migration. One of the most commonly used definitions, proposed by Kennedy[4] is
Migratory behavior is persistent and straightened out movement effected by the animal’s own locomotory exertions or by its active embarkation upon a vehicle. It depends on some temporary inhibition of station keeping responses but promotes their eventual disinhibition and recurrence.
Migration has also been described as a term that describes the four related concepts:[1]
1. persistent, straight, movement behavior
2. relocation of an individual on a greater scale (both spatially and temporally) than its normal daily activities
3. seasonal ‘to-and-fro’ movement of a population between two areas
4. movement leading to the redistribution of individuals within a population
Migration Types[edit]

Migration can be either obligate, meaning individuals must migrate, or facultative, meaning individuals can choose to migrate or not.
Within a migratory species or even within a single population, often not all individuals migrate. Complete migration is when all individuals migrate, partial migration is when some individuals migrate while others do not, and differential migration is when the difference between migratory and non-migratory individuals is based on age or sex (for example).[1]
While most migratory movements occur on an annual cycle, some daily movements are also referred to as migration. For example, many aquatic animals make a vertical migration (Diel vertical migration), travelling a few hundred metres up and down the water column.[5]Similarly, some jellyfish make daily horizontal migrations, traveling a few hundred metres across a lake.[6]
Irregular (non-cyclical) migrations such as irruptions can occur under pressure of famine, overpopulation of a locality, or some more obscure influence.[7]
Multiple generation migration[edit]
Further information: Lepidoptera migration
In some insect species, such as the monarch butterfly and the painted lady butterfly, the whole migration is not carried out by one individual. Instead the butterflies mate and reproduce on the journey, and successive generations travel the next stage of the migration.[8]
In culture[edit]
Before the phenomenon of animal migration was understood, various folklore and erroneous explanations sprang up to account for the disappearance or sudden arrival of birds in an area. In Ancient Greece, Aristotle proposed that robins turned into redstarts when summer arrived.[9] The barnacle goose was explained in European Medieval bestiaries and manuscripts as either growing like fruit on trees, or developing from goose barnacles on pieces of driftwood.[10] Another example is the swallow, which at various times was suggested to hibernate either underwater, buried in muddy riverbanks, or in hollow trees.#p#副标题#e#
第二篇：针孔摄像机
版本一：第二篇是讲摄影暗盒技术obscura，一个叫hockney的英国当代画家研究了400个画家来证明中世纪的人用暗盒来辅助画画，以维米尔为例子。讲了他的画如何被认为是使用了该技术，后面提到了一些画家都使用过，还总结了一幅画中使用了该技术的特征，最后说了这个技术并不能抹杀画家本身的实力。
版本二：一开始说了相机成的像是倒置的(标题旁边图 类似小孔成像)。后面通过实验研究发现用镜子可以改变倒置的像。接着说了对艺术家的影响，具体举了一个画家的例子，说他的画可能就是受了相机的影响。但是由于没有对此的记录，作者觉得大概是这个画家不想让大家知道他受了相机的影响。接着又说到了很多画家也可能受到了相机的影响。最后一段说即使相机出现 但是画家还是要有自己在画画上的造诣 并把这些与相机的特点结合起来。
版本三： 有些画家没节操，用小孔成像技术画画还不让别人知道，然后他举了个例子说有个荷兰的画家，叫VIE神马的(达芬奇?)，画画不让人家看也不收徒弟，可能就是因为它利用了这个技术。不过作者后来又说，其实有时候这个技术没啥用，因为最后还得看个人。

Camera obscura
This article is about an optical device. For other uses, see Camera obscura (disambiguation).

The camera obscura (Latin; camera for "vaulted chamber/room", obscura for "dark", together "darkened chamber/room"; plural: camera obscuras or camerae obscurae) is an optical device that projects an image of its surroundings on a screen. It is used in drawing and for entertainment, and was one of the inventions that led to photography and the camera. The device consists of a box or room with a hole in one side. Light from an external scene passes through the hole and strikes a surface inside, where it is reproduced, rotated 180 degrees (thus upside-down), but with color and perspective preserved. The image can be projected onto paper, and can then be traced to produce a highly accurate representation.The largest camera obscura in the world is on Constitution Hill in Aberystwyth, Wales.[1]
Using mirrors, as in the 18th-century overhead version (illustrated in the History section below), it is possible to project a right-side-up image. Another more portable type is a box with an angled mirror projecting onto tracing paper placed on the glass top, the image being upright as viewed from the back.
As the pinhole is made smaller, the image gets sharper, but the projected image becomes dimmer. With too small a pinhole, however, the sharpness worsens, due to diffraction. Some practical camera obscuras use a lens rather than a pinhole because it allows a largeraperture, giving a usable brightness while maintaining focus. (See pinhole camera for construction information.)
History[edit]
Camera obscura in Encyclopédie, ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers
The camera obscura has been known to scholars since the time of Mozi and Aristotle.[2] The first surviving mention of the principles behind the pinhole camera or camera obscura belongs to Mozi (470 to 390 BCE), a Chinese philosopher and the founder of Mohism. Mozi correctly asserted that the image in a camera obscura is flipped upside down because light travels in straight lines from its source. His disciples developed this into a minor theory of optics.[3][note 1]
The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384 to 322 BCE) understood the optical principle of the pinhole camera.[4] He viewed the crescent shape of a partially eclipsed sun projected on the ground through the holes in a sieve and through the gaps between the leaves of a plane tree. In the 4th century BCE, Aristotle noted that "sunlight travelling through small openings between the leaves of a tree, the holes of a sieve, the openings wickerwork, and even interlaced fingers will create circular patches of light on the ground." Euclid's Optics(ca 300 BCE) presupposed the camera obscura as a demonstration that light travels in straight lines.[5] In the 4th century, Greekscholar Theon of Alexandria observed that "candlelight passing through a pinhole will create an illuminated spot on a screen that is directly in line with the aperture and the center of the candle."
In the 6th century, the Byzantine-Greek mathematician and architect Anthemius of Tralles (most famous for designing the Hagia Sophia), used a type of camera obscura in his experiments.[6]
In the 9th century, Al-Kindi (Alkindus) demonstrated that "light from the right side of the flame will pass through the aperture and end up on the left side of the screen, while light from the left side of the flame will pass through the aperture and end up on the right side of the screen."
Alhazen (Ibn al-Haytham) also gave the first clear description[7] and early analysis[8] and invented the camera obscura and pinhole camera. While Aristotle, Theon of Alexandria, Al-Kindi (Alkindus) and Chinese philosopher Mozi had earlier described the effects of a single light passing through a pinhole, none of them suggested that what is being projected onto the screen is an image of everything on the other side of the aperture. Alhazen was the first to demonstrate this with his lamp experiment where several different light sources are arranged across a large area. He was thus the first to successfully project an entire image from outdoors onto a screen indoors with the camera obscura.
The Song Dynasty Chinese scientist Shen Kuo (1031–1095) experimented with a camera obscura, and was the first to apply geometrical andquantitative attributes to it in his book of 1088 AD, the Dream Pool Essays.[9][verification needed] However, Shen Kuo alluded to the fact that the Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang written in about 840 AD by Duan Chengshi (d. 863) during the Tang Dynasty (618–907) mentioned inverting the image of a Chinese pagoda tower beside a seashore.[9] In fact, Shen makes no assertion that he was the first to experiment with such a device.[9] Shen wrote of Cheng's book: "[Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang] said that the image of the pagoda is inverted because it is beside the sea, and that the sea has that effect. This is nonsense. It is a normal principle that the image is inverted after passing through the small hole."[9]
In 13th-century England, Roger Bacon described the use of a camera obscura for the safe observation of solar eclipses.[10] At the end of the 13th century, Arnaldus de Villa Nova is credited with using a camera obscura to project live performances for entertainment.[11] [12] Its potential as a drawing aid may have been familiar to artists by as early as the 15th century; Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519 AD) described the camera obscura in Codex Atlanticus. Johann Zahn's "Oculus Artificialis Teledioptricus Sive Telescopium, which was published in 1685, contains many descriptions and diagrams, illustrations and sketches of both the camera obscura and of the magic lantern.
Giambattista della Porta is said to have perfected camera obscura. He described it as having a convex lens in later editions of his Magia Naturalis (1558-1589), the popularity of which helped spread knowledge of it. He compared the shape of the human eye to the lens in his camera obscura, and provided an easily understandable example of how light could bring images into the eye. One chapter in the Conte Algarotti's Saggio sopra Pittura (1764) is dedicated to the use of a camera ottica ("optic chamber") in painting.[13]
Camera obscura, from a manuscript of military designs. 17th century, possibly Italian.
The 17th century Dutch Masters, such as Johannes Vermeer, were known for their magnificent attention to detail. It has been widely speculated that they made use of such a camera, but the extent of their use by artists at this period remains a matter of considerable controversy, recently revived by the Hockney–Falco thesis.
The term "camera obscura" itself was first used by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler in 1604.[14] The English physician and author Sir Thomas Browne speculated upon the interrelated workings of optics and the camera obscura in his 1658 discourse The Garden of Cyrus thus:
For at the eye the Pyramidal rayes from the object, receive a decussation, and so strike a second base upon the Retina or hinder coat, the proper organ of Vision; wherein the pictures from objects are represented, answerable to the paper, or wall in the dark chamber; after the decussation of the rayes at the hole of the hornycoat, and their refraction upon the Christalline humour, answering the foramen of the window, and the convex or burning-glasses, which refract the rayes that enter it.
Four drawings by Canaletto, representing Campo San Giovanni e Paolo in Venice, obtained with a camera obscura (Venice, Gallerie dell'Accademia)
Early models were large; comprising either a whole darkened room or a tent (as employed by Johannes Kepler). By the 18th century, following developments by Robert Boyle and Robert Hooke, more easily portable models became available. These were extensively used by amateur artists while on their travels, but they were also employed by professionals, including Paul Sandby, Canaletto and Joshua Reynolds, whose camera (disguised as a book) is now in the Science Museum (London). Such cameras were later adapted by Joseph Nicephore Niepce, Louis Daguerre and William Fox Talbot for creating the first photographs.#p#副标题#e#

Habitat selection
Habitat selection is the process or behavior that an animal uses to select or choose a habitat in which to live; correspondingly, plants and fungi engage in habitat selection, even though their inherent mobility is different from animals. To live in a habitat an animal must first have access to the habitat. Once the animal has access to the habitat it must be able to tolerate the conditions of the habitat and find the resources that it needs to survive in that habitat. Animals must be able to tolerate at least two kinds of factors in the habitat. These factors are abiotic factors and biotic factors. Abiotic factors are non-biological factors such astemperature, humidity, salinity and pH to name a few. Biotic factors are biological factors such ascompetition, predation, and disease. If both abiotic and biotic factors can be tolerated the animal must also be able to find the resources that it needs to survive. These resources include food, shelter from abiotic and biotic factors, and a mate. If an animal can not tolerate abiotic and biotic factors in a habitat or if it does not find food, shelter or a mate in that habitat, it is likely that the habitat will not be selected and the animal will leave the habitat. Habitats that are suitable for animals will often times have many animals of the same species there. This can lead to intraspecific competition. All of these things have an impact on the ecology of the animal (its distribution and abundance).
One way to determine if a habitat is suitable for an animal is to conduct a transplant experiment. In a transplant experiment animals of interest are transplanted or brought to a habitat to test that habitat for suitability. If the animal survives and reproduces in the habitat, it is concluded that the habitat was unoccupied because the animal was unable to get there or because it did not have access to the habitat. If the animal does not stay, survive, or reproduce in the habitat, it is concluded that it could be due to a lack of resources or because certain biotic and or abiotic factors are present and it can not tolerate them. A habitat that is suitable can become unsuitable if the animal's resources and or biotic and abitoic factors change. This is what often happens when we develop areas that are currently undeveloped. This causes us to see animals that we never saw in our environments before. It also can lead to a decline in the number of these animals.
