1
Section 3.
2
You will hear two biology students called Emma and Jack discussing an experiment they are going to do together.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
5
We've got to choose a topic for our experiment, haven't we, Jack?
6
Were you thinking of something to do with seeds?
7
That's right.
8
I thought we could look at seed germination, how a seed begins to grow.
9
OK.
10
Any particular reason?
11
I know you're hoping to work in plant science eventually.
12
Yeah, but practically everything we do is going to feed into that.
13
No, there's an optional module on seed structure and function in the third year that I might do.
14
So I thought it might be useful for that.
15
If I choose that option, I don't have to do a dissertation module.
16
Good idea.
17
Well, I thought for this experiment, we could look at the relationship between seed size
18
and the way the seeds are planted so we could plant different sized seeds in different ways and see which grow best.
19
OK.
20
Would need to allow time for the seeds to come up.
21
That should be fine if we start now.
22
A lot of the other possible experiments need quite a bit longer.
23
So that'd make it a good one to choose.
24
And I don't suppose it'd need much equipment.
25
We're not doing chemical analysis or anything though that's not really an issue.
26
We've got plenty of equipment in the laboratory.
27
Yeah, we need to have a word with the tutor if we're going to go ahead with it, though.
28
I'm sure our aim's OK.
29
It's not very ambitious, but the assignment's only 10 % of our final mark, isn't it?
30
But we need to be sure we're the only ones doing it.
31
Yeah, it's only 5 % actually, but it'd be a bit boring if everyone was doing it.
32
Did you read that book on seed germination on our reading list?
33
The one by Graves?
34
Hmm.
35
I looked through it for my last experiment, though it wasn't all that relevant there.
36
It would be for this experiment, though.
37
I found it quite hard to follow, lots about the theory which I hadn't expected.
38
Yes, I'd been hoping for something more practical.
39
It does include references to the recent findings on genetically modified seeds, though.
40
Yes, that was interesting.
41
I read an article about seed germination by Lee Hall.
42
About seeds that lie in the ground for ages and only germinate after a fire.
43
That's the one.
44
I knew a bit about it already, but not about this research.
45
His analysis of figures comparing the times of the fires and the proportion of seeds that germinated
46
was done in a lot of detail.
47
Very impressive.
48
Was that the article with the illustrations of early stages of plant development?
49
They were very clear.
50
I think those diagrams were in another article.
51
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 -30.
52
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
53
Anyway, shall we have a look at the procedure for our experiment?
54
We'll need to get going with it quite soon.
55
Right.
56
So the first thing we have to do is find our seeds.
57
I think vegetable seeds would be best.
58
And obviously they mustn't all be the same size.
59
So how many sorts do we need?
60
About four different ones?
61
I think that would be enough.
62
There'll be quite a large number of seeds for each one.
63
Then for each seed we need to find out how much it weighs and also measure its dimensions.
64
And we need to keep a careful record of all that.
65
That'll be quite time -consuming.
66
And we also need to decide how deep we're going to plant the seeds, right on the surface a few millimetres down or several centimetres.
67
OK, so then we get planting.
68
Do you think we can plant several seeds together in the same plant pot?
69
No, I think we need a different one for each seed.
70
Right.
71
And we'll need to label them.
72
We can use different coloured labels.
73
Then we wait for the seeds to germinate.
74
I reckon that'll be about three weeks, depending on what the weather's like.
75
Then we see if our plants have come up and write down how tall they've grown.
76
Then all we have to do is look at our numbers and see if there's any relation between them.
77
That's right.
78
That is the end of Section 3.
79
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
80
Now turn to section 4.

  • Were you thinking of something to do with seeds?
  • We've got plenty of equipment in the laboratory.
  • Did you read that book on seed germination on our reading list?
  • Yes, I'd been hoping for something more practical.
  • Anyway, shall we have a look at the procedure for our experiment?

需要注意的發音

說話人用了 25 次縮略和弱讀形式,例如 we're, don't, it'd。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。

  • “sh” 和 “zh” 音: relation /ɹɪˈleɪʃ(ə)n/, proportion /pɹəˈpɔɹʃən/, dimension /daɪˈmɛn.ʃən/, ambitious /æmˈbɪʃ.əs/, illustration /ˌɪləsˈtɹeɪ̯ʃən/
  • 長單詞——注意重音位置: experiment /ɪkˈspɛɹ.ə.mənt/, laboratory /ˈlæb(ə)ɹəˌtɔɹi/, biology /baɪˈɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/, practically /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.k(ə.)li/, illustration /ˌɪləsˈtɹeɪ̯ʃən/

中文母語者容易讀錯的音:

  • /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/,上齒輕觸下唇: impressive /ɪmˈpɹɛsɪv/, vegetable /ˈvɛd͡ʒ.tə.bəl/
  • 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚,後面不要加母音: seed /siːd/, experiment /ɪkˈspɛɹ.ə.mənt/, topic /ˈtɑpɪk/, impressive /ɪmˈpɹɛsɪv/, depend /dɪˈpɛnd/
  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: practical /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.kəl/, carefully /ˈkɛɹf(ə)li/, laboratory /ˈlæb(ə)ɹəˌtɔɹi/, relation /ɹɪˈleɪʃ(ə)n/, practically /ˈpɹæk.tɪ.k(ə.)li/

如何用這段影片練習

  1. 先完整聽一遍影片,不要開口,記下不認識的單詞。
  2. 用正常速度逐句跟讀,每句重複到你的節奏與說話人一致為止。
  3. 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比,特別注意 seed, experiment, label 這類單詞。

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
