M: Well, only a few gold cups like this still exist in the world. W: Amazing! Jim, could you take a picture of me pretending to drink from it?

They may scream if you treat them badly, according to an article published in a magazine in Cell. Plants can make sounds when they are stressed. Plants interact with insects and other animals all the time, and many of these insects and animals use sounds for communication, so it would be very inconvenient for plants not to use sounds at all. Lilach Hadany told BBC Science Focus. With this in mind, the research team started by recording plants' sounds. They divided the plants into three groups. One group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems cut off and the last group remained untouched. The microphones caught sounds at a frequency of 40 to 80 kilohertz from the first two groups. The sounds grew louder and louder during the five days of water stress. They then began to decline as the plants dried out. The researchers haven’t yet discovered how the sounds are made. After the experiment, the team gathered the data and made software that could tell how plants feel. It could be useful for farmers in monitoring the conditions of their crops. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 黑龙江哈尔滨市第三中学校2026-2027学年高三上学期10月阶段检测英语试题 英语试题 · 听力精听挖空训练 听力共 20 小题 满分 30 分 分层精听 · 挖空训练 · 答案解析 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 题型说明 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 时间分配 听完每段录音后，你有时间作答并阅读下一小题。请合理利用间隙时间，避免卡顿。 温馨提示 本部分重点考查对简短对话中关键信息的快速捕捉。 本部分共 5 小题，录音播放两遍。 第一节 第1题及原文 答案：1.C Question 1 1.

One group wasn't watered for five days, another group had the stems cut off, and the last group remained untouched.

They may scream if you treat them badly, according to an article published in a magazine in Cell. Plants can make sounds when they are stressed. Plants interact with insects and other animals all the time, and many of these insects and animals use sounds for______________, so it would be very inconvenient for plants not to use sounds at all. Lilach Hadany told BBC Science Focus. With this in mind, the research team started by recording plants' sounds. They divided the plants into three groups. One group wasn’t watered for five days, another group had the stems cut off and the last group remained untouched. The microphones caught sounds at a frequency of 40 to 80 kilohertz from the first two groups. The sounds grew louder and louder during the five days of water stress. They then began to decline as the plants dried out. The researchers haven’t yet discovered how the sounds are made. After the experiment, the team gathered the data and made software that could tell how plants feel. It could be useful for farmers in monitoring the conditions of their crops. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
