[单项选择] Hydrothermal vents along the mid-ocean ridges host ephemeral ecosystems of diverse fauna, including several crustacean species, some of which undergo development as larvae up to 1,000 meters above and 100 kilometers away from the vents. For example, vent crab Bythograea thermydron (at stage of larvae) possess image-forming compound eyes with a visual pigment sensitive to the blue light of upper oceanic waters. As these larvae metamorphose into adulthood and begin to descend to and settle at the vents, they lose their imageforming optics and develop highsensitivity naked-retina eyes. With maturation,the spectral absorbance of the visual pigment in these eyes also shifts towards longer wavelengths and this progressive visual metamorphosis trades imaging for increased sensitivity, and changes spectral sensitivity to the dim, longer wavelengths of light existing at the bottom of the ocean. As hydrothermal vents produce light, vision may supplement thermal and chemical senses to orient po

[单项选择] That large regions of the galaxy can be influenced by the formation of massive stars in a few localized regions requires that star formation somehow be coordinated over long periods of time. The process commences with a single O-type star or a cluster of such stars in a giant molecular cloud, around which stellar radiation, winds and explosions carve a modest cavity from of the surrounding interstellar medium, concomitantly destroying the progenitor cloud. Perchance this disturbance triggers star formation in a nearby cloud, and so on, until the interstellar medium in this corner of the galaxy resembles Swiss cheese, composed of what theorists have recently begun to refer to as bubbles, or superbubbles, one of the most exciting discoveries in astrophysics in years. Within a hot bubble, the sun has revealed itself in x-rays emitted by highly ionized trace ions such as oxygen and at some point in the process of its formation, nearby bubbles commence to overlap, coalescing into a superb
