[讨论]请教大家一个听力问题

bryan0806

最近刚开始听力练习 发现有一些很长的句子很难听出

例如这一句Each story may serve as home to various plants --- from ferns on the ground to mosses at higher level --- and various animals whose habits may differ from those living at levels above or below.

后面红色and的后面 various animals 听到这里我已经忘了前面的结构了 不知道various animals 的主谓是什么 当然如果阅读的话还可以回头找 但是听就不行了 请问大家对于这种结构复杂的句子是怎么应付的  

请指导一下  感谢!!!!!!!!
