    Write your answers in boxes on your answer sheet.
    How the elephants sense these sound vibrations is still unknown, but O’Connell-Rodwell, a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, proposes that elephants are ’listening’ with their【R1】________by two kinds of nerve endings that respond to vibrations with both【R2】________frequency and slightly higher frequencies. O’Connell-Rodwell’s work is at the combination of geophysics, neurophysiology and【R3】________.
    It was known that seismic communication existed extensively within small animals, but O’Connell-Rodwell was the first person to indicate that a large land animal would send and receive【R4】________too. Also, he noticed the freezing behaviour by putting a male planthopper on a stem and play back a female call, which might prove the existence of other communicative approaches besides【R5】________.

选项
答案 mate
解析 科学家断定，象群在找什么或警示捕食者来袭时，远距离的沟通能力特别重要。根据顺序原则，继续阅读第5段之后的内容。第6段的开头提到大象远距离沟通的能力对于生存十分必要。紧接着便提到，大象在寻找配偶(mate)时比较困难，而大象独特的生殖学特征使之难上加难。题干后半句are warning of predators在文中被改写为send alerts regarding predators。因此，本题的答案为mate。
