Part 4.

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.

練習建議

在傾聽本講座時,建議學習者儘量集中注意力,仔細聆聽每一個細節。可以進行shadow speak練習,逐句模仿發音和語調。有助於提高畫質晰度和流暢度。此影片的語速適中,語調自然,非常適合進行英語口語練習。試著在暫停後重復講者所說的話,注意口腔和舌頭的位置,以提高英語發音。此外,使用shadowspeaks也是一種有效的方法,您可以和志同道合的學習者一起練習,從而增加互相糾正的機會。

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。
