1. 听写包答案:
Professor: Many organisms have developed the ability to survive in harsh environmental conditions: extreme heat or cold, or very dry conditions, like plants in the desert.
Your textbook doesn’t have much about the specifics on desert plants, but I think that desert plants are great examples of specialized adaptations to extreme environmental conditions.
So, with desert plants, there are basically three different adaptive strategies.
And I should point out that these strategies are not specific to any particular species.
Many different species have developed each of the adaptations.
So, first off, there are succulent plants, there are many different species of succulent plants, but they all can absorb and store a lot of water.
Obviously, opportunities to get water in the desert are few and far between, generally rains are light and short, so the rain doesn’t seep too far down into the soil.
And there’s a limited window of time for any plant to get the water before it evaporates.
教授:很多生物进化出了在严酷的环境状况下生存的能力,比如极热或极冷、或非常干旱的环境,就像沙漠里的植物一样。
你们的课本上没有很多具体介绍沙漠植物的内容,不过我认为沙漠植物是专门适应极端环境状况的很好的例子。
沙漠植物主要有三种不同的适应策略。
我应该指出的是,这些策略不是针对任何具体品种的植物的。
很多不同种类的植物都进化出了每种适应策略。
首先是肉质植物,有很多不同品种的肉质植物,但它们都能吸收和储存很多水分。
显然,在沙漠能获得水的机会很少,而且间隔很久,一般那里的降雨很少而且时间很短,所以雨水不会渗到地下很深的地方。
而且任何植物要在雨水蒸发前得到这些水的时间窗也是有限的。
2.阅读包答案:
然而,考虑到这样一个理论可能涵盖的范围和领域,它是否还算是简化就不那么明确了。
3.写作包答案:
Recently, it has been practiced by some local universities that dialect is made a compulsory course for some students, under which students are subject to learning the local dialect and then graded as one of the judging factors for them to graduate. On the one hand, people approving the practice maintain that it will help to prevent the dialect from extinguishing so that the local traditional culture and the cultural diversity can be enhanced, and the unique urban identity can be preserved simultaneously. On the other hand, people in opposition to the practice contend that it will give rise to the appearance of educational inequality, for the local students will enjoy absolute advantages over those from other places. Moreover, the inclusion of dialect in compulsory courses will bring forth other problems like teaching material, teachers and examination standards. As far as I am concerned, dialects, as an indispensable part of local traditional culture as well as a tool for communication, can be acquired and used voluntarily, not compulsorily.
