Texto de Lectura

Like many creatures, humpback whales migrate long distances for feeding and mating purposes. How animals manage to migrate long distances is often puzzling. In the case of humpback whales, we may have found the answer: they may be navigating by the stars, much as early human sailors did. What we know about humpback whales makes this a distinct possibility.First, humpback whales seem to be intelligent enough to use stars to navigate by. Whales' brains have a high degree of complexity'a common determiner of intelligence. This suggests that the whales' brain power far exceeds that of most other animals. The whales' well-developed cognitive ability seems to provide a sound basis for the ability to use a complex, abstract system of sensory stimuli such as the night sky for orientation.Second, humpback whales migrate in straight lines. Animals can maintain movement in a straight direction for long distances only if they orient themselves by some external objects or forces. Many birds and other terrestrial creatures, for example, use physical landmarks to help them stay on track as they migrate. Whales, which swim in the open ocean, cannot rely on land features; they could, however, rely on stars at night to provide them with external signs by which to maintain direction over long distances.Third, humpback whales exhibit an unusual behavior: they are sometimes observed floating straight up for minutes at a time, their heads above the water as though they were looking upward. The behavior is known as spy-hopping, and it is very rare among marine animals. One explanation for the function of spy-hopping is that the whales are looking at the stars, which are providing them with information to navigate by.

The article and lecture are both about the possibility of how humpback whales using stars to navigate. The author of the article feels that this is plausible. The lecturer challenges these claims made in the articles. He thinks that these claims have flaws and are unconvincing. First of all, the author notes that humpback whale is said to be intelligent and have the brain power surpass most other animals. The fact that their well-developed cognitive ability enables them to use stars for navigation. In contrast, the lecturer says that there are other animals using this technique, too, such as ducks, but they are not highly intelligent animal. Therefore, the ability using stars for navigation is merely an instinct they were born with rather than their intelligence. Secondly, the author claims that humpback whales can maintain movement in a straight direction for long distances without external objects or forces demonstrates their dependence on using stars for directions in the open ocean. The lecturer challenges this. He notes that it is the bio-magnetite in humpback whales’ body making them sensitive to Earth’s magnetic field and allowing them to orient in a straight direction, which has nothing to do with stars. Finally, the author says that humpback whales are known for spy-hopping, which is when they are floating straight up, showing their heads above the water for minutes at a time to look at the stars for navigation. The lecturer also challenges this claim. He puts forth the idea that sharks also spy-hop, but they use this technique to hunt rather than directions. Besides, it is impossible for humpback whales to spy-hop during the day for directions since there is no stars.

Section Title: 6. Revised Essay

The article and lecture both discuss the possibility of humpback whales using stars to navigate. The author of the article believes this is plausible, while the lecturer challenges these claims, finding them unconvincing.

Firstly, the author notes that humpback whales are considered intelligent and possess brain power surpassing most other animals. Their well-developed cognitive ability supposedly enables them to use stars for navigation. In contrast, the lecturer states that other animals, such as ducks, also use this technique despite not being highly intelligent. Thus, he argues that using stars for navigation is merely an instinct they were born with rather than a result of their intelligence.

Secondly, the author claims that humpback whales can maintain movement in a straight direction for long distances without external objects or forces, demonstrating their reliance on using stars for direction in the open ocean. The lecturer challenges this notion by explaining that it is bio-magnetite in humpback whales' bodies making them sensitive to Earth's magnetic field and allowing them to orient in a straight direction – an ability unrelated to stars.

Lastly, the author mentions that humpback whales are known for spy-hopping – floating straight up with their heads above water for minutes at a time – suggesting they look at stars for navigation during this behavior. The lecturer disputes this claim by pointing out that sharks also spy-hop but use this technique to hunt rather than navigate. Furthermore, he highlights that it would be impossible for humpback whales to spy-hop during daylight hours for directional purposes since no stars are visible.

In conclusion, the lecturer casts doubt on each of the author's claims regarding humpback whales using stars to navigate by presenting alternative explanations and counterarguments. (288 words)

The lecturer, on the contrary, states that there is no connection between intelligence and behaviors for humpback whales. For instance, like ducks, their ability of cognitive are average, not have connection with their intelligence.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The debate surrounding the theory that humpback whales navigate long distances using stars as a guide is addressed by both the author and the lecturer.

Firstly, the author asserts that the high degree of intelligence exhibited by humpback whales supports their ability to use stars for navigation, providing a sound basis for this behavior. In contrast, the lecturer argues that there is no direct correlation between intelligence and an animal's capacity to use stars for navigation. For example, ducks possess average cognitive abilities, yet they can still navigate using stars, indicating that this skill is not necessarily linked to intelligence.

Secondly, the reading passage cites birds' reliance on external objects for orientation as evidence that whales might also use stars as external cues. However, the lecturer counters this point by explaining that humpback whales have biomagnetite in their bodies, making them sensitive to Earth's magnetic field. This suggests that they may rely on this magnetic field as an external reference point rather than stars.

Lastly, the author posits that spy-hopping behavior in whales indicates they are observing stars for navigational purposes. The lecturer disputes this claim by highlighting that sharks also exhibit spy-hopping behavior but do so to hunt prey rather than observe celestial bodies. Furthermore, humpback whales often engage in spy-hopping during daylight hours when stars are not visible, casting doubt on the notion that this behavior serves a stargazing function. (235 words)

The author in the reading holds that humpback whales might migrate long distances by the navigation of stars, while the lecturer in the lecture expresses an opposite opinion that the hypothesis of stars navigation is not convincing, even it is fascinating. To begin with, the author claims that the whales are highly intelligent so that they can use stars for navigation. However, the lecture contends that there is no connection between the intelligence and the ability of using stars for navigation. There are birds like ducks have the ability of navigation with average intelligence. It seems that birds are born with the ability of navigation so that this ability is no likely connected to creature's intelligence. Moreover, the author believes that the whales can migrate in straight lines, and animals can only move straightly with the help of external objects or forces. On the contrary, the lecturer maintains that animals have various ways to keep moving in straight lines with different external objects or forces. For example, the animals can use magnetic field for navigation. Some animals have organs called magnitide to sense the earth's magnetic field rather using the landscapes likes stars for navigation. Finally, the author puts forward that an unusual behavior of humpback whales called spy-hopping is whales looking at the stars. Instead, the lecturer states that the spy-hopping not definitely means looking at the stars. Animals like sharks also do this behavior but they do not migrate. Additionally, whales often do this behavior during the day, and the daylight is strong so that whales can hardly see the stars. This theory can be a pure speculation.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage posits that humpback whales might navigate long distances by using stars, while the lecture casts doubt on this hypothesis, arguing that it is not convincing despite its fascinating nature.

Firstly, the reading asserts that humpback whales possess high intelligence, enabling them to use stars for navigation. In contrast, the lecture argues that there is no correlation between intelligence and the ability to navigate using stars. It provides the example of ducks, which have average intelligence yet can navigate using stars. This suggests that navigation ability may be an innate trait rather than one linked to a creature's intelligence.

Secondly, the author contends that whales can migrate in straight lines and animals can only maintain such movement with the assistance of external objects or forces. However, the lecturer counters this by stating that animals have various ways to move in straight lines using different external objects or forces. For instance, some animals can use Earth's magnetic field for navigation by sensing it through organs containing biomagnetite rather than relying on celestial landmarks like stars.

Lastly, the reading proposes that an unusual behavior exhibited by humpback whales called spy-hopping involves them looking at stars. The lecturer refutes this claim by pointing out that spy-hopping does not necessarily indicate star-gazing. Other animals such as sharks also exhibit this behavior but do not migrate or look at stars. Furthermore, humpback whales often spy-hop during daylight hours when stars are not visible, suggesting that this theory may be purely speculative. (251 words)

Section Title: 6. Article Revision

The reading passage posits that humpback whales might navigate long distances by using stars, while the lecture casts doubt on this hypothesis, arguing that it is not convincing despite its fascinating nature.

Firstly, the reading asserts that humpback whales possess high intelligence, enabling them to use stars for navigation. In contrast, the lecture argues that there is no correlation between intelligence and the ability to navigate using stars. It provides the example of ducks, which have average intelligence yet can navigate using stars. This suggests that navigation ability may be an innate trait rather than one linked to a creature's intelligence.

Secondly, the author contends that whales can migrate in straight lines and animals can only maintain such movement with the assistance of external objects or forces. However, the lecturer counters this by stating that animals have various ways to move in straight lines using different external objects or forces. For instance, some animals can use Earth's magnetic field for navigation by sensing it through organs containing biomagnetite rather than relying on celestial landmarks like stars.

Lastly, the reading proposes that an unusual behavior exhibited by humpback whales called spy-hopping involves them looking at stars. The lecturer refutes this claim by pointing out that spy-hopping does not necessarily indicate star-gazing. Other animals such as sharks also exhibit this behavior but do not migrate or look at stars. Furthermore, humpback whales often spy-hop during daylight hours when stars are not visible, suggesting that this theory may be purely speculative.

To begin, the reading claims that the high degree of complexity of humpback's brain indicates that it is possible for them to use stars for orientation. On contrary, the lecturer argues that intelligence may not connected with using stars to navigate. For instance, ducks are of average intelligence, but migrates by stars, which proves that high intelligence does not necessarily lead to star-orientation. Furthermore, the reading demonstrates that since whales migrate in a straight direction, they must be triggered by some external forces. The lecturer opposes to the statement by puting forward that the whale are more likely to be oriented by earth magnetic field, but not stars due to the dicovery of biomagnetite in whales' body. At last, the reading illustates that the abnormal behavior of whales which is named spy-hopping suggests that the whales are observing the stars. Nevertheless, the lecturer casts doubt on this point by arguing that sharks also adopts spy-hopping, but they aim to hunt their preys. Additionally, the whales are spotted doing spy-hopping during the day. Based on these facts, the statement of the reading may be pure speculation.

The reading passage posits that humpback whales navigate by the stars during their long-distance migrations, providing three reasons to support this claim. However, the professor in the lecture disputes these reasons, asserting that they are not convincing.

Firstly, the reading passage argues that humpback whales' high degree of intelligence, as evidenced by their complex brains, enables them to use stars for navigation. The professor counters this claim by stating that there is no direct correlation between intelligence and an animal's ability to navigate using stars. For example, ducks can also navigate using stars during migration despite having only average intelligence. This ability is an instinct they are born with rather than a sign of intelligence. Consequently, there is no clear connection between brain power and navigation ability.

Secondly, the reading suggests that humpback whales' ability to migrate in straight lines indicates they orient themselves using external objects such as stars. In contrast, the professor proposes an alternative explanation: humpback whales may be guided by Earth's magnetic field instead of stars. The presence of biomagnetite in their brains makes them sensitive to Earth's magnetic field and could be responsible for their straight-line navigation.

Lastly, the reading attributes humpback whales' unusual behavior of floating straight up for minutes at a time (spy-hopping) to looking at the stars for navigation purposes. The professor disputes this notion by pointing out that other animals like sharks also exhibit spy-hopping behavior but do not migrate or use stars for navigation; instead, they spy-hop to hunt prey. Furthermore, humpback whales often spy-hop during daylight hours when no stars are visible. Thus, suggesting that spy-hopping serves as a means to observe stars is purely speculative. (280 words)

The author of the reading passage proposes that there are several evidence to support the viewpoint that humpback whales are navigated by the stars. However, the professor in the lecture casts doubt on these claims by using three corresponding arguments. Firstly, although the reading passage presents that the humpback whales probably have the intelligence to utilize stars to navigate by, such as the cognitive ability, the professor in the lecture offers a different perspective. He holds the view that there is no connection between the whale's ability and their intelligence. Also, other animals possess the capability to use cognitive ability to navigate too, like the duck. However, ducks are not highly intelligent. Their ability is actually instinct and they have that when they are born. Thus, whales' ability to navigate is not relevant to their intelligence. Secondly, the author highlights that the humpback whales would migrate in straight lines. The professor, on the other hand, holds an opposite view that we actually have different perspective when whales are in straight line. They would sense external object or force. For instance, they have the capability to use their body's biomagnitude to sense the magnitude field. In light of this, they could orient to where they want to migrate. Therefore, the straight lines would not suggest that humpback are following the stars. Last but not least, the author continually proposes that the humpback whales might use some unusual behaviors like rising their heads above the water when they were looking upward. Nevertheless, the professor in lecture disagrees with the statement. He points out that there are other species who also use these behaviors. However, they raise their heads above the water because they would hunt for preys instead of migrating. Thus, the behavior by whales would just be considered as a pure speculation. In conclusion, the professor effectively challenges each claims in the reading passage, questioning the evidence that humpback whales are using stars to navigate.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage posits that humpback whales navigate by the stars, presenting several pieces of evidence to support this viewpoint. However, the lecture casts doubt on these claims by offering three counterarguments.

Firstly, the reading passage suggests that humpback whales possess the intelligence necessary to use stars for navigation, citing their cognitive ability as evidence. In contrast, the professor in the lecture argues that there is no direct connection between an animal's intelligence and its ability to navigate using stars. He points out that other animals, such as ducks, also possess this capability despite not being highly intelligent. Their ability to navigate using stars is instinctual rather than a sign of intelligence. Consequently, the intelligence of humpback whales does not necessarily indicate that they use stars for navigation.

Secondly, the author emphasizes that humpback whales migrate in straight lines and posits that they rely on stars at night to maintain direction over long distances. The professor counters this argument by suggesting an alternative explanation: humpback whales may sense external objects or forces, such as Earth's magnetic field. He explains that humpback whales have a substance called biomagnetite in their brains which generally makes animals sensitive to Earth's magnetic field. This sensitivity could enable them to orient themselves during migration without relying on stars.

Lastly, the author proposes that an unusual behavior exhibited by humpback whales called spy-hopping might be related to star navigation since it involves looking upward with their heads above water. The professor disputes this claim by pointing out that other species also exhibit spy-hopping behavior but do so for different reasons unrelated to migration or star navigation; for example, sharks spy-hop when hunting prey. Furthermore, he notes that humpback whales often spy-hop during daylight hours when stars are not visible. As such, attributing spy-hopping behavior solely to star navigation is speculative at best.

In light of these counterarguments, the professor effectively challenges each claim made in the reading passage, casting doubt on the notion that humpback whales navigate using stars. (336 words)

(Changed "proposes" to "posits" and "evidence" to "pieces of evidence" for better word choice and clarity.)

Firstly, although the reading passage presents that the humpback whales probably have suggests that humpback whales possess the intelligence to utilize stars to navigate by, such necessary to use stars for navigation, citing their cognitive ability as the cognitive ability, evidence. In contrast, the professor in the lecture offers a different perspective. He holds the view argues that there is no direct connection between the whale's an animal's intelligence and its ability and their intelligence. Also, to navigate using stars. He points out that other animals animals, such as ducks, also possess the this capability to use cognitive ability to navigate too, like the duck. However, ducks are despite not being highly intelligent. Their ability to navigate using stars is actually instinct and instinctual rather than a sign of intelligence. Consequently, the intelligence of humpback whales does not necessarily indicate that they have that when they are born. Thus, whales' ability to navigate is not relevant to their intelligence. use stars for navigation. (Clarified sentence structure and improved word choice.)

Secondly, the author highlights that the humpback whales would emphasizes that humpback whales migrate in straight lines. lines and posits that they rely on stars at night to maintain direction over long distances. The professor, on the other hand, holds professor counters this argument by suggesting an opposite view that we actually have different perspective when whales are in straight line. They would alternative explanation: humpback whales may sense external object objects or force. For instance, they forces, such as Earth's magnetic field. He explains that humpback whales have the capability to use a substance called biomagnetite in their body's biomagnitude to sense the magnitude brains which generally makes animals sensitive to Earth's magnetic field. In light of this, they This sensitivity could enable them to orient to where they want to migrate. Therefore, the straight lines would not suggest that humpback are following the themselves during migration without relying on stars. (Improved sentence structure and clarified argument.)

Last but not least, Lastly, the author continually proposes that the humpback whales an unusual behavior exhibited by humpback whales called spy-hopping might use some unusual behaviors like rising be related to star navigation since it involves looking upward with their heads above the water when they were looking upward. Nevertheless, the water. The professor in lecture disagrees with the statement. He points disputes this claim by pointing out that there are other species who also use these behaviors. However, they raise their heads above the water because they would hunt for preys instead of migrating. Thus, the exhibit spy-hopping behavior by whales would just be considered as a pure speculation. but do so for different reasons unrelated to migration or star navigation; for example, sharks spy-hop when hunting prey. Furthermore, he notes that humpback whales often spy-hop during daylight hours when stars are not visible. As such, attributing spy-hopping behavior solely to star navigation is speculative at best. (Clarified sentence structure and improved word choice.)

In conclusion, light of these counterarguments, the professor effectively challenges each claims claim made in the reading passage, questioning the evidence that humpback whales are casting doubt on the notion that humpback whales navigate using stars to navigate.stars.

The reading passage explores three points about how the humback whales migrate by using the stars. The lecturer in the listening, however, believes that these three points are not convincing enough to explain the whales' migration behavior. First of all, the reading claims that humpback whales use stars to navigate which is connected with their whales' high intelligence. In contrast, the lecturer disputes that there is no connection between the intelligence and the ability of using stars to navigate. This is because this kind of ability is that the animals born with. For example, some birds also have this ability while the average of them are not intelligent. Therefore, the connection between the intelligent and this ability is not convinced. Furthermore, the reading states that humpback whales use the external objects which help themselves to migrate in the straight lines. On the contrary, the lecturer believes that it is the biomagnetic sense within the whales instead of external force. With this kind of sense, the whales have the sense of magnetic field of the earth and know the orientation. As a result, the whales are able to migrate in straight lines with the help of their own biomagnetic mechanism. Finally, the reading states that humpback whales use the spy-hopping behavior to look stars during their migration. However, the lecturer contends that spy-hopping behavior is to help them hunt for food. Besides, the spy-hopping behavior is operated during the day and not appear in the night. Therefore, the spy-hopping behavior helps the whales to look stars during the migration is a pure speculation.

The reading passage posits that humpback whales navigate by using the stars, presenting three arguments to support this claim. However, the lecturer in the listening passage casts doubt on these points, offering alternative explanations for the whales' migration behavior.

Firstly, the reading asserts that humpback whales' high intelligence enables them to use stars for navigation. In contrast, the lecturer argues that there is no clear connection between intelligence and an animal's ability to navigate using stars. As evidence, she cites birds with average intelligence that also possess this ability, suggesting it is an innate trait rather than a sign of intelligence. Consequently, the link between intelligence and star-based navigation remains unconvincing.

Secondly, the reading claims that humpback whales rely on external objects to maintain their straight-line migration paths. The lecturer counters this argument by proposing that it is not external forces but rather an internal biomagnetic sense that guides the whales. This sense allows them to detect Earth's magnetic field and determine their orientation accordingly. Thus, it is more plausible that humpback whales navigate in straight lines due to their inherent biomagnetic mechanism.

Lastly, the reading suggests that humpback whales engage in spy-hopping behavior to observe stars during migration. The lecturer disputes this notion by asserting that spy-hopping serves a different purpose: hunting for food. She also notes that spy-hopping occurs during daylight hours when stars are not visible, rendering this behavior unlikely as a means of star-based navigation. As such, attributing spy-hopping to stargazing during migration is purely speculative and unsupported by evidence. (257 words)

The reading passage asserts that humpback whales navigate by the stars as early human sailors did, providing three reasons to support this claim. However, the lecture challenges each of these reasons with counterarguments, suggesting the claim is not very convincing. Firstly, the reading passage posits that the brains of humpback whales have a high degree of complexity that far exceeds that of most other animals, making them to be intelligent to use stars to navigate. Contrary to this argument, the lecture contends by using an example of ducks, which use the star to navigate but indeed not intelligent. It seems that there is no connection between the intelligence and the use of stars for navigation. Thus, this evidence does not necessarily disprove the claim from the passage. Secondly, according to the reading passage, relying on stars to provide eternal signs, humpback can migrate in straight lines for long distance. In contrast, the lecture argues that it is difficult for humpback to sense eternal signs in the ocean. Furthermore, humpback is sensitive to the geomagnetic field, which demonstrates that it is entirely possible for them to use the magnetic signals rather than the stars to navigate. Lastly, the reading presents that humpback sometimes are observed spy-hopping behavior for minutes at a time when they may look at the stars for navigation. Nevertheless, the lecture refutes this argument by stating that the behavior is not so rare and it can also be observed in sharps. Instead of migrating or looking at the stars, they just look for animals to hunt. Additionally, humpback also be found spy-hopping during the day when there are not stars at all.

The passage states that humpback whales navigate by the stars, but none of the three points is convincing and the speaker refutes them one by one. First of all, the passage contends that the whales' well-developed cognitive ability provides a foundation to use the night sky for orientation. But the speaker refuses that there is no straight connection between cognitive ability and navigation by stars. It is noticed that some birds, such as ducks, can also use stars to navigate, but their cognitive ability is just at an average level. So humpback whales' good cognitive ability doesn't mean that they will use stars to find directions. Secondly, it's true that animals can only rely on some external objects or forces to maintain a straight direction, but humpback whales are more likely to depend on their bio-magnetic structure in their body to orientate. Such a structure makes the whales sensible to the earth magnetic field, so that they can keep straight according to direction of magnetic field. Finally, as for the spy-hopping actions, the speaker contradicts this view by highlighting the fact that such actions also exist among other animals, such as sharks. But sharks don't migrate or look at stars, they just spy-hop to look for hunting opportunities. In addition, humpback whales sometimes spy-hop during the daytime, when there are no stars for them to rely on. Thus, spy-hopping actions are unlikely evidence of navigation by stars.

Such a structure makes the whales sensible to the earthsensitive to the earth's magnetic field, so that they can keep straight according to direction of magnetic field. Finally, as for the spy-hopping actions, the speaker contradicts this view by highlighting the fact that such actions also exist among other animals, such as sharks. But sharks don't migrate or look at stars, they just spy-hop to look for hunting opportunities. In addition,Additionally, humpback whales sometimes spy-hop during the daytime, when there are no stars for them to rely on. Thus, spy-hopping actions are unlikely evidence of navigation by stars.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The passage posits that humpback whales navigate using the stars, but the speaker in the lecture casts doubt on each of the three points made. Firstly, the passage argues that the whales' advanced cognitive ability enables them to use the night sky for orientation. However, the speaker refutes this by asserting that there is no direct correlation between cognitive ability and star-based navigation. It is noted that some birds, such as ducks, also navigate using stars despite having only average cognitive abilities. Thus, humpback whales' intelligence does not necessarily imply they utilize stars for navigation.

Secondly, while it is true that animals require external objects or forces to maintain a straight direction, humpback whales are more likely to rely on their bio-magnetic structures for orientation. These structures make whales sensitive to Earth's magnetic field, allowing them to maintain a straight course based on magnetic field direction.

Lastly, regarding spy-hopping behavior, the speaker challenges this view by pointing out that other animals, such as sharks, also exhibit this behavior. However, sharks do not migrate or look at stars; they spy-hop to search for prey. Furthermore, humpback whales sometimes spy-hop during daylight hours when stars are not visible. Consequently, spy-hopping behavior is unlikely evidence of star-based navigation. (208 words)

The passage states posits that humpback whales navigate by using the stars, but none the speaker in the lecture casts doubt on each of the three points is convincing and made (Changed "states" to "posits" for a more academic tone and rephrased for clarity). Firstly, the passage argues that the whales' advanced cognitive ability enables them to use the night sky for orientation. However, the speaker refutes them one this by one. ¶ First of all, the passage contends that the whales' well-developed cognitive ability provides a foundation to use the night sky for orientation. But the speaker refuses asserting that there is no straight connection direct correlation between cognitive ability and star-based navigation by stars. (Rephrased for clarity and conciseness). It is noticed noted that some birds, such as ducks, can also use navigate using stars to navigate, but their despite having only average cognitive ability is just at an average level. So abilities.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The listening material presents a different perspective on the idea that humpback whales use stars to navigate during their migration for feeding and mating purposes, as suggested in the reading passage. The lecturer argues that the evidence provided in the reading is not convincing enough to support this theory, thus creating a contradiction between the two stances.

Firstly, the author of the reading passage asserts that humpback whales possess a high level of intelligence, enabling them to use stars and a complex system for navigation at night. However, the lecturer refutes this claim by stating that other less intelligent animals can also navigate using stars. For example, ducks are born with an innate ability to orient themselves, indicating that there is no direct correlation between navigation skills and intelligence.

Secondly, the reading passage suggests that humpback whales migrate in straight lines without relying on any external objects. In contrast, the speaker casts doubt on this viewpoint by proposing that humpback whales might sense external forces such as Earth's magnetic field during migration. This argument is supported by the presence of biomagnetite in their brains, which generally makes animals sensitive to magnetic fields.

Lastly, the reading material describes a behavior called "spy-hopping," where humpback whales float with their heads above water as if observing stars for navigation purposes. Nevertheless, the professor in the listening material challenges this notion by explaining that spy-hopping may not be related to navigation at all. For instance, some sharks exhibit similar behavior but do so only to hunt for prey since they cannot see well during daytime hours. Thus, attributing spy-hopping solely to star-gazing for navigational purposes remains speculative and unsupported by concrete evidence. (281 words)

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The passage and the lecture discuss the possibility of humpback whales navigating by stars. The reading asserts that certain behaviors of humpback whales suggest they might use stars for navigation, while the lecture casts doubt on these claims.

Firstly, the passage posits that humpback whales are intelligent enough to use stars for navigation due to their complex brains. However, the lecturer disputes this connection between intelligence and star navigation. She provides an example of birds that can navigate by stars despite having average intelligence. The ability to navigate by stars seems to be an innate trait rather than a sign of high intelligence. Thus, the high intelligence of humpback whales does not necessarily indicate their ability to navigate by stars.

Secondly, the reading contends that humpback whales' migration in straight lines is evidence of star navigation. In contrast, the professor argues that this behavior can be attributed to external forces rather than stars. She explains that scientists believe Earth's magnetic field is the external force guiding whale migration due to a substance in their brains called biomagnetite, which allows them to detect magnetic fields. Consequently, it is more likely that humpback whales navigate using Earth's magnetic field rather than stars.

Lastly, the passage claims that spy-hopping behavior in humpback whales supports star navigation theory. However, the lecturer refutes this notion by stating that spy-hopping is unrelated to star observation. She cites examples of other animals like sharks exhibiting spy-hopping behavior for hunting purposes rather than migration or star observation. Furthermore, she points out that humpback whales often spy-hop during daylight hours when stars are not visible, making it implausible for them to use this behavior for star navigation.

In conclusion, the lecture casts doubt on each point made in the reading passage regarding humpback whales navigating by stars through counterarguments and alternative explanations for their behaviors. (309 words)

Both the passage and the lecture are talking about discuss whether the specific behaviors of the hampback whales make themselves navigated humpback whales navigate by stars or not. The reading holds that what we know about humpback whales makes suggests that certain behaviors of humpback whales make this a distinct possibility. While in the lecture, the professor states possibility, while the lecture argues that these claims are not very convincing.

Firstly, the passage believes that humpback whales is are intelligent enough to use stars to navigate because whale’s brains have a high degree of complexity. for navigation due to their complex brains. However, the speaker argues that the lecturer disputes this connection between intelligence of the animals don’t have the real connection and star navigation, arguing that intelligence doesn't necessarily correlate with the navigate navigating by stars. For example, there are some kinds of birds which is be proved that they have been proven to navigate by stars despite having average intelligence levels. This indicates that the ability to navigate by stars. But their intelligence are on the average, it means that they have the stars is more likely an innate trait rather than a sign of high quality of the intelligence. Actually, the ability of the navigate by stars is connect with the situation which animals born with. So, the humpback whales happen to Therefore, the high intelligence don’t seem to of humpback whales does not necessarily prove that they can navigate by stars.

Secondly, the reading contends that humpback whales migrate migrating in straight lines can prove they navigate by stars. Nevertheless, is evidence of star navigation. In contrast, the professor points out that this is not a key factor. The key factor is the behavior can be attributed to external force. What we need to do is prove that forces rather than stars. She explains that scientists believe Earth's magnetic field is the external force is stars or not. But the scientists says that the external force is the Earth’s magnetic field. Because guiding whale migration because there are some is a substance in the hmpback whale’s brain, they can their brains called biomagnetite which allows them to detect the Earth’s magnetic field, so they can easily migrate fields. Consequently, it is more likely that humpback whales navigate using Earth's magnetic field rather than stars.

Lastly, the passage claims that spy-hopping behavior in straight lines. ¶ Thirdly, the reading says that the humpback whales supports star navigation theory. However, the lecturer refutes this notion by stating that spy-hopping is the proof of navigating by stars. Conversely, the listening refutes that there is nothing to do with spy-hopping. There are some kinds of unrelated to star observation. She cites examples of other animals who do the same things as humpback whales. For instance, sharps can do the like sharks exhibiting spy-hopping but they can’t navigate by stars. What they do with the spy-hopping is that they can detect their prey. When they find their prey, they can easily hunt the prey. Another reason is that the humpback whales do the spy-hopping behavior for hunting purposes rather than migration or star observation. Furthermore, she points out that humpback whales often spy-hop during the daytime, there daylight hours when stars are not stars yet. So they saw the stars by doing the spy-hopping is not convincing.visible, making it implausible for them to use this behavior for star navigation.

In conclusion, the lecture casts doubt on each point made in the reading passage regarding humpback whales navigating by stars through counterarguments and alternative explanations for their behaviors.

In the reading passage, the author proposes three possible evidence that humpback whales migrate by using stars to navigate. However, in the listening part, the professor acknowledges that using stars to migrate is fascinating. But the evidence to prove this discovery is unconvincing. First of all, the author points out that humpback whales have quite high intelligence, contributing to its use of stars in migration. However, the professor argues that the high intelligence and ability to use stars for migration is actually unconnected, because there are other animals can use stars with average intelligence. For example, duck can use stars to migrate. But this ability is instinct and they only has average intelligence. Secondly, although the reading passage mentions that the stars provide humpback whales with an external forces to help them to migrate in straight line, the professor indicates a different explanation to this straight-line migration. He proposes that humpback whales has a certain substance in their body to detect the earth's magnetic field. In this case, it's more likely that they use magnetic field as the external forces to help them to navigate. Lastly, though the reading passage presents an unusual behavior called "spy-hopping", which indicates that humpback whales are looking to stars to migrate, the professor argues that this behavior is not for migration purpose. There are other animals who have this unusual behavior, such as sharks. As for sharks, they use "spy-hopping" for hunting. They look for their food to prey, instead of looking stars to navigate. Therefore, having "spy-hopping" can't account for the use of stars in migration.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

In the reading passage, the author presents three potential pieces of evidence suggesting that humpback whales navigate using stars during migration. However, in the listening part, the professor acknowledges that while the idea of using stars for navigation is fascinating, the evidence supporting this theory is unconvincing.

Firstly, the author highlights that humpback whales possess a high degree of intelligence, which may contribute to their ability to use stars for navigation. Nevertheless, the professor contends that there is no direct correlation between intelligence and an animal's capacity to navigate using stars. For instance, ducks can also use stars for navigation despite having only average intelligence. This ability is instinctual rather than a sign of heightened cognitive prowess.

Secondly, although the reading passage suggests that stars provide humpback whales with external cues to maintain a straight line during migration, the professor offers an alternative explanation for this behavior. He posits that humpback whales possess a substance called biomagnetite in their brains, which allows them to detect Earth's magnetic field. Consequently, it seems more plausible that they rely on this magnetic field as an external force for navigation rather than celestial bodies.

Lastly, while the reading passage introduces an unusual behavior known as "spy-hopping," implying that humpback whales look at stars for navigational purposes, the professor disputes this claim. He points out that other animals exhibit this behavior as well - such as sharks - but not for migration purposes. In fact, sharks use "spy-hopping" primarily for hunting prey rather than observing celestial bodies. Therefore, merely possessing this unique behavior does not necessarily indicate reliance on stars for navigation during migration. (272 words)
