托福听力中关于“研究，实验”的考点思路浅析

What surprising information did a recent experiment reveal about lesser spear-nosed bats?

The woman mentions a research study of milk packaging. What was thefinding of the study?

What was demonstrated by the study on perception that the professor mentions?

What does the professor say about the results of the brain research? 

What is the significance of the evidence found on the ocean floor? 

What did calcite deposits from Devils Hole reveal? 

The professor discusses a study on the relationship between brain growth and play. What does that study conclude? 

What did researchers conclude from their study of sauropods and gastroliths? 

According to the professor, what were the results of Goeth's experiments with color? 

What did researchers conclude after analyzing fossilized dinosaur bones found near nests?

According to the professor, what did researchers find at an archaeological site in Turkey? 

What did researchers discover about the planet Gliese 581d when they reexamined it?

What did researchers observe in the study of fourteen-year-old children? 

Yeah, and I read a study that showed how light can give milk a funny flavor and decrease its nutritional value. 

Again, studies have shown that people will fill in information that they thought they perceived even when they didn't. 

Gliese 581d had actually been discovered a couple of years earlier, and when its orbit was originally calculated it was thought to be too far away from its hosts star to be warm enough to support a liquid ocean, let alone, carbon-based life. But then its orbit was recalculated, and now we see that Gliese 581 D is within its host’s habitable zone.

The DNA suggests that whales are descendants of the hippopotamus. Yes, the hippopotamus! Well, it came as a bit of a shock. I mean, that a four-legged land and river dweller could be the evolutionary source of a completely aquatic creature up to 25 times its size? Unfortunately, this revelation about the hippopotamus apparently contradicts the fossil record, which suggests that the hippopotamus is only a very distant relative of the whale, not an ancestor. And of course as I mentioned, that whales are descended not from hippos but from that distant wolf-like creatures. So we have contradictory evidence. And more research might just raise more questions and create more controversies. At any rate, we have a choice. We can believe the molecular data, the DNA, or we can believe the skeleton trail, but unfortunately, not both.

Well, not that we know of. There was a study using pigeons, where researchers attempted to reduce MSR to a matter of conditioning, that is, they claimed that the ability to recognize oneself in a mirror could be learned. So these researchers basically trained some pigeons to pass the mirror mark test.But two things are noteworthy here. One, no one’s ever replicated the study.But more importantly, it misses the point. The issue isn’t whether some behavior can be learned. It’s whether a species has developed this ability spontaneously.

but，however，on the other hand…etc.
