Not only are they the largest bird on the planet, but they are also the fastest flightless birds out there. But did you also know that they also have the largest eyes of any land animal? Ostrich eyes are really big. Interestingly, analysis of ostrich eyes has shown that they look just like an owl's (猫头鹰) eye in shape. The overall shape of an owl eye may result from the evolution (进化) of a large eye, which needs to fit into a small head and still be light enough for powerful flight. However, because they are flightless birds, ostriches are not constrained by the same weight issues, so they have developed the characteristic global shape. This may offer a lot of advantages, especially in relation to the size of the visual (视觉的) field it would offer the bird. Ostrich eyes are specially formed and the vision of each eye can enlarge to about 155°, which helps them see potential dangers. However, ostriches have a big blind spot (点) above and behind their heads which is caused by the way their eyes sit in their heads to protect them from the burning sun. Ostrich eyes can focus on things in front of their heads which is invaluable for searching for food. This visual field helps them to find small objects like leaves, seeds, and flowers on the ground. They also sometimes eat small insects so this visual field also helps them target moving insects. Yet while ostrich eyes are large and round, they are funny compared to their brain size. Still, ostriches have clearly evolved in a way that does not need them to have a large brain. If hiding doesn't work, an ostrich can usually just 人文景观内涵类词块 建筑风格：ancient imperial palaces（古老的皇宫建筑）、unique architectural designs（独特的建筑设计）、grand stone monuments（宏伟的石质纪念碑） 文化价值：bear witness to centuries of history（见证数百年的历史）、carry profound cultural heritage（承载深厚的文化遗产）、reflect local folk customs（反映当地民俗风情）、represent the wisdom of ancestors（体现祖先的智慧） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 outrun any problems that come its way. 21.

(然而，鸵鸟的头部上方和后面有一个很大的盲点，这是由于它们的眼睛位于头部以保护它们免受烈日的伤害)”可知，鸵鸟的眼睛在头部上方有一个盲点是为了避免太阳的伤害。故选B项。 24. 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段“If hiding doesn't work, an ostrich can usually just outrun any problems that come its way. (如果躲藏不起作用，鸵鸟通常只需要逃跑就能摆脱任何遇到的问题)”可知，鸵鸟主要是通过逃跑来逃离危险的。故选A项 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
