쉐도잉 연습: Study shows how Earth's orbit affects Ice Ages - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
A recent study suggests the next ice age will likely begin in about 11 ,000 years,
2
unless emissions change the effects of natural climate cycles.
3
An ice age is a period of reduced temperatures,
4
causing ice to cover large areas of the northern and southern parts of the world.
5
A group of scientists studied changes in the shape of the Earth's orbit around the Sun,
6
the tilt of the Earth's axis, and the movement of the axis itself, called a wobble.
7
These three motions are believed to happen in cycles.
8
The Serbian scientist Mooletin Blankovic developed a theory about 100 years ago that these cycles affected Earth's long -term climate.
9
The team noted that small changes in Earth's orbit around the sun caused predictable cycles of warming
10
and cooling over a period of about 100 ,000 years.
11
These findings permitted the team to determine how the three factors of tilt,
12
wobble, and the shape of Earth's orbit might have affected the Earth's climate over the last 900 ,000 years.
13
The group published its findings in Science on February 27.
14
The scientists examined a million -year record of climate by looking
15
at ice sheets across the northern half of the world and deep ocean temperatures.
16
They then compared this data with small but regular changes in Earth's orbit over time.
17
The lead writer of this study is Stephen Barker, a professor at Cardiff University in Britain.
18
He told the French news agency AFP
19
that for many years it has been difficult for scientists to
20
show exactly how small changes in Earth's orbit have led to huge changes between warm and cold periods.
21
Earth is believed to go through cycles of ice ages and warm periods.
22
The last ice age is thought to have ended around 11 ,700 years ago.
23
Scientists, such as Milankovitch, have long seen a connection between Earth's orbit and climate.
24
However, researchers have struggled to precisely date when each of the climate changes happened.
25
It has also been difficult for them to know exactly
26
which orbit positions affect the start and stop of cold or warm periods.
27
Barker said his team of researchers studied slow changes in temperature
28
over long periods of time instead of only looking at shorter periods of change between cold and warm climates.
29
Barker told AFP, we would expect a glaciation to occur within the next 11 ,000 years,
30
and it would end in 66 ,000 years' time.
31
Lorraine Lizicki is a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a co -writer of the study.
32
She said the study shows that changes in climate over tens of thousands of years are not random.
33
The team aims to expand its findings to investigate the long -term effects of human activity on climate.
34
They also want to find out how it might affect Earth's natural climate cycles.
35
I'm Andrew Smith.
36
A recent study suggests the next ice age will likely begin
37
in about 11 ,000 years unless emissions change the effects of natural climate cycles.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
