Even more strangely, this curious power has been acquired i

50、n different ways by fish belonging to very different families. Perhaps the best known are the electric rays, or torpedoes (电鳐), of which several kinds live in warm seas. They possess on each side of the head, behind the eyes, a large organ consisting of a number of hexagonal shaped cells rather like

51、 a honeycomb. The cells are filled with a jelly-like substance, and contain a series of flat electric plates. One side, the negative side, of each plate, is supplied with very fine nerves, connected with a main nerve coming from a special part of the brain. Current passes from the upper, positive si

52、de of the organ downwards to the negative, lower side. Generally it is necessary to touch the fish in two places, completing the circuit, in order to receive a shock. The strength of this shock depends on the size of the fish, but newly born ones only about 5 centimetres across can be made to light

53、the bulb of a pocket flashlight for a few moments, while a fully grown torpedo gives a shock capable of knocking a man down, and, if suitable wires are connected, will operate a small electric motor for several minutes. Another famous example is the electric eel. This fish gives an even more powerfu

54、l shock. The system is different from that of the torpedo in that the electric plates run longitudinally (纵向) and are supplied with nerves from the spinal (脊骨) cord. Consequently, the current passes along the fish from head to tail. The electric organs of these fish are really altered muscles and li

55、ke all muscles are apt (likely) to tire, so they are not able to produce electricity for very long. The power of producing electricity may serve these fish both for defence and attack. 1. It can be seen from the passage that _.A.the capacity to generate electricity is the distinctive characteristic of the fishB.the current travels in an upward direction from the positive side to negative side in torpedos electric cellsC.some fish can produce enough electricity t
