The young adults taking part in the study were more positive than might have been expected about moving back home—the shame is reduced as so many of their peers are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents39。 The findings contradict research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant decline in their parents39。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。s ears to help them detect the sound of approaching insects.”及全文內(nèi)容可知，文章主要講述人與植物的交流可以促其生長。 （4）考查主旨大意。從而推斷可知，園丁經(jīng)常與植物交談，生長得更好。 （3）考查推理判斷。從而推斷可知，在叢林里的植物生長得更好。根據(jù)第三段中的“However, Prof Hadany said a plant39。故選B。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。s voices improve plants39。D.Plants can39。B.Flowers can hear.Plants respond to sounds slowly and ecologically.D.Prince Charles proves kind of stupid.B.D.In the woods.B.On a square.D.Brighter color.B.Longer bloom. response to bees39。s voices were at the right frequency for the plants to hear.（1）What39。 ability to hear has implications well beyond pollination—plants could potentially hear and respond to herbivores, other animals, the elements, and possibly other plants, Prof Hadany added.s ability to respond to pollinators may be weakened in city environments or beside a busy road. While plants require water, sunlight and the right temperature to grow, it is widely believed they do not have senses in the way animals do. When the researchers played recordings of flying bees to evening primrose flowers, within three minutes the sugar concentrations in the nectar (花蜜) of its flowers increased. The fluid, produced to attract pollinating (授粉) insects, was on average 20 percent higher in flowers exposed to the buzz pared to those left in silence or exposed to higher pitched sounds. Professor Lilach Hadany, who led the study, said: Our results document for the first time that plants can rapidly respond to pollinator sounds in an ecologically relevant way. Gardeners such as Prince Charles who claim that talking to plants encourages them to grow have long been seen as a little silly.
