    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】________.
    Scientists have determined that an elephant’s ability to communicate over long distances is essential, especially, when elephant herds are finding a【R6】________, or are warning of predators. Finally, the results of our 2002 study showed us that elephants could detect warning calls through the【R7】________. [br] 【R1】
选项
答案 trunks and feet
解析 O’Connell．Rodwell提出大象使用什么来“听”。这一道题与下一题相隔较近，通过题干nerve endings可定位到第4段第4句，由于顺序原则，本题的答案应该会出现于这一句之前。往前读，发现are ‘listening’ with原词重现，pachyderm(厚皮动物)在这里指的是大象，该动词之后的名词即为答案。因此，本题的答案为trunks and feet。
