35、 well.”可知,如果融雪期提前到来的话,等红腹滨鹬的幼鸟孵化出来时,它们已经错过了节肢动物数量最多的时候,因此没有足够的食物吃。3.B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“.adult birds feed on thin-shelled bivalves,Loripes lucinalis.But the bivalves are buried deep.”可推测,Loripes lucinalis 这种贝类在地下比较深的地方,因此嘴短的红腹滨鹬吃不到它们,影响生存。4.B 写作目的题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了在融雪期特别早的年份孵化出来的红腹滨鹬会体格变小、鸟嘴变短,从而直接影响它们生存的
