48、s? 43主要的原因是什么,在南卡罗来纳州的女性现在编织篮子吗? Questions 44 through 46: 问题44通过46:this morning I want to tell you about a recent scientific discovery dealing with the relation between plants and animals. this is about a desert shrub whose leaves can shoot up a stream of poisonous resin a distance of six feet. do y

49、ou think it would be safe from all attacks by insects. but a recent study has found one insect, a beetle, that can chew its way past the plants defense system by cutting the mainly vein that delivers the poison to the leaves. this vein cutting is just one method the beetles used to prepare a safe me

50、al. another is by cutting a path all the way across the leave to hold the flow of chemicals. then they simply eat between the veins of poison. in the past, scientists who studied inset adaptation to plant defenses have focused on chemical responses. that is, how the insects can neutral or alter the

51、poisonous substances plants produce. whats unique about this chewing strategy is that the beetle is actually exhibiting a behavior response to the plants defenses rather than the more common chemical response. it is only after a beetles survived several encounters with the plant resin that it learns

52、 how to avoid the poison: by chewing through the resin transporting veins on the next leaf it eats. and thus gives itself a meal. however, it can take a beetle an hours an a half of careful vein cutting to prepare a small leaf that takes it only a few minutes to eat. so, though the method is effecti

53、ve, its not very efficient. 今天早上我想要告诉你关于最近的一项科学发现处理植物和动物之间的关系。这是关于一个沙漠灌木丛,它的叶子可以射出一股有毒树脂距离六英尺。你认为它会远离一切攻击的昆虫。但最近的一项研究发现一个昆虫,甲虫,可以嚼着经过工厂的防御系统将主要脉提供最毒的叶子。这脉切割只是一个方法使用的甲虫准备一个安全的餐。另一种是通过切割路径要在离开持有流动的化学物质。然后他们简单的血管之间吃毒药。在过去,科学家们研究了插图适应植物防御都集中在化学反应。也就是说,怎样昆虫可以中性或改变植物产生有毒物质。什么是独特的关于这个咀嚼的策略是,甲壳虫实际上是表现出一种行为应

54、对植物的防线而不是更常见的化学反应。只有在一个甲虫的存活几次相遇,与工厂的树脂,它学会如何避免毒药:通过咀嚼通过树脂运输静脉在下一个叶它吃。从而给自己一顿饭。然而,它可以把一个一小时半的甲虫谨慎的静脉切割准备一个小的叶,把它只有几分钟吃。所以,尽管该方法是有效的,它不是很有效。 41 what is the talk mainly about? 41什么是谈话主要是什么?42 what is unusual about the desert plant? 42不同寻常在于沙漠植物吗?43 how can the beetles avoid being poisoned by the plant

55、? 43岁的甲虫如何避免被毒害的植物吗? Questions 47 through 50: 问题47通过50:were going to start our discussion of poetry in Western Europe with the Iliad and the Odyssey. these two great poems stand out as great examples of the earliest European poems. they are believed to have been written sometime between 800BC and 70

56、0BC, partly because the poems refer to the social conditions of that time, conditions that have been validated by the findings of archeologists. but just who was the poet who laid down these cornerstones of western literature? well, tradition ascribes them to a man named Homer, but we know virtually nothing about this Homer. In fact, some say that such a poet never existed at all, that neither the Iliad nor the Odyssey was written by a single poet, but rather each poem is composed of the writings of several people
