Part 4.
2
You will hear an archaeology student giving a presentation on an important site in Ireland called the Cagy Fields.
3
First you have some time to look at questions 31 to
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
6
For my presentation today, I'm going to talk about the cagey fields in the northwest of Ireland,
7
one of the largest Neolithic sites in the world.
8
I recently visited this site and observed the work that is currently being done by a team of archaeologists there.
9
The site was first discovered in the 1930s by a local teacher, Patrick Caulfield.
10
He noticed that when local people were digging in the bog,
11
They were constantly hitting against what seemed to be rows of stones.
12
He realised that these must be walls,
13
and that they must be thousands of years old for them to predate the bog which subsequently grew over them.
14
He wrote to the National Museum in Dublin to ask them to investigate,
15
but no one took him seriously.
16
It wasn't until 40 years later when Patrick Caulfield's son,
17
Seamus, who had become an archaeologist by then, began to explore further.
18
He inserted iron probes into the bog to map the formation of the stones,
19
a traditional method which local people had always used for finding fuel buried in the bog for thousands of years.
20
Carbon dating later proved that the site was over 5,000 years old and was the largest Neolithic site in Ireland
21
Thanks to the bog which covers the area,
22
the remains of the settlement at KG Fields,
23
which is over 5,000 years old,
24
are extremely well preserved A bog is 90% water,
25
its soil so saturated that when the grasses and heathers that grow on its surface die,
26
they don't fully decay but accumulate in layers.
27
Objects remain so well preserved in these conditions because of the acidity of the peat and the deficiency of oxygen.
28
At least 175 days of rain a year are required for this to happen.
29
This part of Ireland gets an average of 225 days.
30
The Neolithic farmers at Keiji would have enjoyed several centuries of relative peace and stability.
31
Neolithic farmers generally lived in larger communities than their predecessors,
32
with a number of houses built around a community building.
33
As they lived in permanent settlements,
34
Neolithic farmers were able to build bigger houses.
35
These weren't round, as people often assume,
36
but rectangular, with a small hole in the roof that allowed smoke to escape.
37
This is one of many innovations and indicates that the Neolithic farmers were the first people to cook indoors.
38
Another new technology that Neolithic settlers brought to Ireland was pottery.
39
Fragments of Neolithic pots have been found in KG and elsewhere in Ireland.
40
The pots were used for many things,
41
as well as for storing food.
42
Pots were filled with a small amount of fat,
43
and when this was set alight they served as lamps.
44
It's thought that the cagey fields were mainly used as paddocks for animals to graze in.
45
Evidence from the cagey fields suggests that each plot of land was of a suitable size to sustain an extended family.
46
They may have used a system of rotational grazing in order to prevent overgrazing and to allow for plant recovery and regrowth.
47
This must have been year-round activity,
48
as no structures have been found which would have been used to shelter animals in the winter.
49
However, archaeologists believe that this way of life at Keiji ceased abruptly.
50
Why was this?
51
Well, several factors may have contributed to the changing circumstances.
52
The soil would have become less productive and led to the abandonment of farming.
53
The crop rotation system was partly responsible for this,
54
as it would have been very intensive and was not sustainable.
55
But there were also climatic pressures too.
56
The farmers at Keiji would have enjoyed a relatively dry period,
57
but this began to change,
58
and the conditions became wetter,
59
as there was a lot more rain.
60
It was these conditions that encouraged the bog to form over the area which survives today.
61
So now I'd like to show you some...
62
That is the end of part four.
63
You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.

推薦影片

為什麼通過這個影片練習口語?

本影片中,一位考古學學生正進行關於愛爾蘭Cagy Fields的重要地點的演講。這段演講提供了一個真實的口語場景,能夠幫助學習者在實際交流中提升英語口語能力。通過跟隨影片內容進行模仿(即shadow speak),學習者能夠熟悉演講的語速、語調和表達方式,從而提高自己的語言流利度和自信心。此外,通過這樣的雅思口語練習,學習者還能夠掌握談論歷史、文化和考古學的專業詞彙,豐富自己的表達能力。

語法與表達的語境

在影片中,演講者使用了幾種重要的語法結構和表達方式,學習者可以藉此機會學習。以下是幾個關鍵點:

  • 被動語態:演講者提到“該地點於1930年代被發現”,使用被動語態可以幫助學習者瞭解如何描述某一事件的發生,而不強調執行者。
  • 時間狀語從句:舉例而言,“在我訪問該網站時”展示瞭如何使用時間狀語從句來說明背景資訊。
  • 一般現在時:如“這些農民通常生活在更大社群中”,此時態用於描述普遍事實,有助於學習者理解如何在口語中表述常態。
  • 動詞短語:例如“進行探索”,這些表達通常在口語中使用較為頻繁,掌握它們可以提升交流的自然度。

常見發音陷阱

在影片中,有一些可能困擾學習者的單詞和發音。注意以下幾個發音重點:

  • “archaeology”(考古學):許多學習者常常發音不準,可以通過反覆練習,確保正確的音節重音。
  • “Neolithic”(新石器時代):此詞的發音和字形較為複雜,建議在練習時分解音節,提高發音準確性。
  • “peat”(泥炭):這個詞在不同地區的口音可能有所不同,注意聽取不同口音中的發音變化並進行模仿。

通過利用看YouTube學英語的方式,學習者不僅可以提高自己的英語口語練習能力,還能更好地理解不同文化和歷史背景。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:

結構影片中的用法
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的being done · are required · have been found
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事have been found

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。
