Part 4.
2
You will hear a talk given by a lecture discussing the significance of honeybees,
3
from ancient times to modern science and agriculture.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
5
Now, listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
6
Good afternoon, everyone.
7
Today we'll take a closer look at the crucial role honeybees have played in human history and their relevance in modern times.
8
These remarkable insects are not only essential for our ecosystem
9
but have also left their mark on various aspects of human culture and science.
10
Let's begin by tracing their historical significance.
11
The earliest indications of human interaction with bees date back thousands of years.
12
Archaeological evidence shows that ancient humans harvested honey from natural hives found within a hollow structure deep underground such as a cave.
13
These findings suggest that early societies valued honey as a prized resource.
14
Later, in ancient civilizations, honey gained spiritual importance.
15
For instance, it was It was common to offer honey in sacred spaces,
16
such as a place of worship,
17
including a temple, as a gesture of devotion and reverence for the gods.
18
Moving on, early societies recognised the versatile uses of honey and beeswax in daily life.
19
Beeswax, for example, was often applied to preserve or weatherproof materials.
20
Objects crafted from wood were frequently coated with this substance to enhance their durability.
21
Meanwhile, honey itself became an essential part of traditional healing practices,
22
valued for its ability to treat infections and accelerate recovery.
23
It was regarded as a natural form of medicine and held in high regard for its antibacterial properties.
24
Next, let's consider the agricultural and environmental roles of honeybees.
25
Farmers and observers have long noticed that bee behaviour is intricately linked to shifts in atmospheric conditions,
26
making them reliable indicators of changing weather patterns.
27
Interestingly, in some parts of the world,
28
bees adapt their hive-building techniques to suit their surroundings.
29
In regions with harsher climates,
30
they may incorporate clay-like substances such as mud into their hive structures to provide extra insulation and protection.
31
This adaptive behaviour is a testament to their resilience.
32
Moreover, the physical structure of bees has fascinated scientists for centuries.
33
Their ability to collect and transport pollen is made possible by the specialized hairs on their appendages,
34
commonly referred to as legs.
35
This unique feature allows them to play an indispensable role in pollinating crops and supporting ecosystems worldwide.
36
Lastly, let's discuss the modern applications of honey bee products.
37
In agriculture, bees directly contribute to the cultivation of crops,
38
including various fruits and leafy plants,
39
as well as staple foods like greens and other vegetables.
40
Additionally, by-products like propolis, a resinous material produced by bees,
41
are now used in treating issues affecting human skin,
42
thanks to their antimicrobial properties.
43
Beeswax, on the other hand,
44
has gained popularity in the culinary world.
45
It is often employed in food preparation,
46
especially in cooking, where its heat-resistant qualities make it ideal for creating natural coatings for certain dishes.
47
That is the end of part four.
48
Thank you.
49
Thank you.
50
Thank you.
51
Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
