But now scientists in Israel have shown that plants also seem to be doing some “talking”. Professor Hadany and her team at Aviv University set up microphones to r___51___ tomato plants under different situations. The result showed that the plants made ultrasonic sounds (超声波) . When the researchers changed the sounds into ones that humans could hear they heard sharp clicking noises (咔哒声) . As the scientists studied the sounds, they notice the regularity. Plants h___52___ clicked when they had enough water. But as their soil (土壤) got drier, they began to click. When scientists cut off a stem from the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The result suggests that researchers may one day be able to use a plant’s sounds to find out when it is having trouble, and what trouble it is having. That could be very helpful to f___53___. The other research has shown that plants also make sounds to communicate in some ways. When insects a___54___ a plant, it will give a warning to its neighbours. Soon, nearby plants start to make chemicals that don’t taste good to insects. It’s an effective way for plants to p___55___ themselves. Then here is a question: Is anything listening to the plants? Dr. Hadany points out that mice who live on plants can hear the sounds. The clicks may tell them whether a plant has problems. If the plant isn’t h___56___, they will avoid it. As Dr. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet field, there are actually sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds carry i___57___ . The team’s research has already changed our ideas about plants.”Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题).As a tour guide in New York City, Jessica Higgins gets to share her love of the “Big Apple” with tourists from all over the world.
