One theory is based upon the premise that prehistoric birds of the northen Hemisphere were
40、 forced south during the Ice Age, when glaciers covered large parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter In time, the migration became a habit, and now, although t
41、he glaciers have disappeared, the habit continues.Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to re
42、turn to the tropics.A more recent theory, known as photoperiodism, suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands in the birds bodies that may prepare them for migration.

He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.37 According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds _.（A）stopped migrating（B） continued migrating（C） began migrating again（D）migrated south and stay ther

46、ds should migrate in the middle of the winter（B） longer days cause changes in the bodies of birds（C） seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migration（D）increasing daylight increases the distance of migration 四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.
