Section 4.
2
You will hear a university lecture about an endangered bear in British Columbia, Canada, known as the Spirit Bear.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
6
series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered member of the black bear family.
7
One in ten black bears is actually born with a white coat,
8
which is the result of a special gene that surfaces in a few.
這是一種僅在少數人身上顯現的特殊基因所產生的結果。
9
Local people have named it the spirit bear, and according to the legends of these communities,
當地人稱它為白靈熊,根據這些族群的傳說,
10
its snowy fur brings with it a special power.
它那雪白的毛髮蘊含著一種特殊的力量。
11
Because of this, it has always been highly regarded by them,
正因如此,它一直深受他們的重視。
12
so much that they do not speak of seeing it to anyone else.
13
It is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area.
14
The white bear's habitat is quite interesting.
15
The bear's strong relationship with the old growth rainforest is a complex one.
16
The white bear relies on the huge, centuries-old trees in the forest in many ways.
17
For example, the old-growth trees have extremely long roots
18
that help prevent erosion of the soil along the banks of the many fish streams.
19
Keeping these banks intact is important because these streams are home to salmon, which are the bear's main food source.
20
In return, the bear's feeding habits nurture the forest.
21
As the bears eat the salmon, they discard the skin and bones in great amounts on the forest floor, which provide vital nutrients.
22
These produce lush vegetation that sustains thousands of other types of life forms, from birds to insects and more.
23
Today, the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia on a few islands.
24
There is great concern for their survival, since it is estimated that less than 200 of these white bears remain.
25
The best way to protect them is to make every effort to preserve the delicate balance of their forest environment,
26
in other words, their ecosystem.
27
The greatest threat to the bear's existence is the loss of its habitat.
28
Over many years, logging companies have stripped the land by cutting down a large number of trees.
29
In addition, they have built roads which have fractured the areas where the bear usually feeds,
30
and many hibernation sites have also been lost.
31
The logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears fish.
32
To make matters worse, the number of salmon in those streams is declining, because there is no legal limit on fishing at the moment.
33
All these influences have a negative impact on the spirit bear's very existence,
34
which is made all the more fragile by the fact that reproduction among these bears has always been disappointingly low.
35
And so, what's the situation going forward?
36
Community organizations, environmental groups, and the British Columbia government are now working together on the problem.
37
The government is now requiring logging companies to adopt a better logging method, which is a positive step.
38
However, these measures alone may not be sufficient to ensure a healthy population of the spirit bear in the future.
39
Other steps also need to be taken.
40
While it is important to maintain the spirit bear's habitat, there also needs to be more emphasis on its expansion.
41
The move is justified, as it will also create space for other bears that are losing their homes to...
42
That is the end of Section 4.
43
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
44
Thank you.

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。
