二、阅读理解B篇(主题:和动物对话的研究 难度:★★★ 建议用
时:8分钟)
Do you want to know what it would be like to talk to animals?
Scientists made a big step in this direction by talking to a whale! This
amazing story is not just about animals, but it also helps us think about
life in space.
In Alaska, a team of scientists did something amazing. They had a
20-minute conversation with a whale named Twain.

▲ They used special sounds called “contact calls”.These calls are
like saying “hello” in the whale's language. The scientists played these
sounds into the ocean from their boat. To their surprise, the whale Twain
came close to their boat and started to answer!
What's really interesting is that Twain answered in a pattern.For
example, if the scientists waited 10 seconds before making a sound,
Twain would also wait 10 seconds before answering. This shows that
Twain was not just making random(随意的) sounds. She was really
communicating!

This study is not only about talking to whales, but it also gives us
ideas about how to communicate with smart life from other planets. The
scientists believe that studying how whales communicate can help us
understand how to find and talk to aliens(外星人).
This exciting study reminds us that we should always respect
animals and nature. It shows us that there are many kinds of smart life
on Earth and maybe even in space. We may communicate with them.
