解析：（33”）定位句：In fact, crocodiles interact with each other in a variety of ways. One way is with vocalizations, you know, sounds generated by the animal.

这道题，首先要注意题干！！！雄性短吻鳄的声音的功能！是雄性的！后面还会有一大段baby 短吻鳄和它们妈妈的故事，不要被迷惑了！
然后就好办多了，把定位句听出来答案就出来了，自然界这帮智商不太高的动物们，声音和气味的功能基本上就是：宣告领地，其他雄性不能侵犯，并且吸引雌性进行交配。这两个意思吧，选BD

这里，中间有一句反问，说明……答案就这样出现了！那说这节目还挺靠谱的，有些地方还挺好玩的，但是其他的就不靠谱了，有的时候我都不知道这些节目从哪来的专家。所以说，教授提到的这个节目她还是认可的。选择A

比较级之后，出现了狗狗的举例，为了说明什么？说明前一句话，就是鳄鱼的智商还是很高的。一般举例、类比这些都是为了说明前面的问题，也就是说一般为了证明和说明的东西基本上在前面一点教授都应该已经说了，D就选出来了。

解析：（18”）定位句：So, now let's move on to modern dance, also known as theatrical dance. Modern dance evolved in the late nineteenth, early twentieth century, and in most cases, audiences were very receptive to this radical new type of performing art.
这个主旨题还是挺有难度的，4选2，而且主旨句说的并不是很清楚，根据定位句只能选出来D选项，因为提到了new type。两者的difference虽然有提示，但是还要把握全文

Instead of其实跟but差不多，所以后半句是重点啊！举例有的时候会是考点的，需要大家注意，BD就全能选出来了！

答案：A
解析：（4”10”）定位句：After seeing this, Duncan publically denounced ballet as a form of acrobatics, uh, complicated and excruciating mechanism she called it.
又有大停顿！！！需要大家注意了！教授说的是这个D看了那个AP的表演之后，形成了一个机制。After seeing this是提示词，从这之后D的芭蕾就形成了她的机制，所以选A
