1
You will hear part of a lecture about the study on Australian crocodiles.
2
First, You have some time to look at questions 31. to 40.
3
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 .0 to 40.
4
Around 10 years ago, Australia Zoo, the University of Queensland and Queensland Parks and Wildlife,
5
undertook a project to monitor the movements and behavior of the crocodiles in Lakefield National Park.
6
The aim of the study was to provide better information on how adult crocodiles there Interact within a river system.
7
enabling people to have better decisions on how to manage crocodile populations.
8
This project can lead the world in crocodile management, Because of the use of satellite.
9
which enables scientists to stably receive accurate information being sent back to them on the computer.
10
Even though the crocodiles can travel very long distances, scientists can still know where they are and study their habits.
11
The study is going to help scientists gain further knowledge
12
on crocodile behaviour which can help make informed decisions on the management plans for crocodiles,
13
not only in Australia, but around the world.
14
Crocodile tracking isn't a new idea in Australia.
15
Crocodile studies have been previously conducted by radio.
16
A miniature electronic device was implanted under the skin of these animals, and they were released back into the river.
17
These tags enabled scientists to track the movements of these particular crocodiles over the next 10 years. Of course.
18
There are some unexpected challenges.
19
The data transmitted from each receiver is recorded by some devices employed in the receiving stations.
20
However, Some devices, are too old.
21
that they always lose signals due to a variety of reasons.
22
so they can't track those animals which they have been studying for months.
23
In order to study the crocodiles, They must first be captured.
24
so that the device can be put on them.
25
But this is a very difficult task.
26
because they are alert and afraid of being followed by humans.
27
so it might take the team several hours to capture one.
28
The tracking device has signal transmitters inside and it's waterproof.
29
It is attached to the head of the crocodile.
30
so the crocodile cannot remove the device with its feet or tail.
31
The research has begun to reveal the movements of crocodiles.
32
Data showed that crocodiles tend to be more active at night time.
33
The GPS sometimes shows that in some areas the crocodiles are overpopulated.
34
So scientists at the park have to use a helicopter to
35
relocate the crocodiles in order to control their population in the area.
36
A crocodile would be taken many kilometers away from its original place.
37
However, Scientists found that the relocation methods were ineffective.
38
because the relocated crocodiles will return to their original location following the most direct route within one week.
39
The tracking data shows that the crocodiles swim right back to where they came from when moved.
40
Crocodiles sometimes travel hundreds of kilometers from Indonesia to Australia in order to reproduce.
41
It is interesting to see that they can always find their way and they will not get lost in the ocean.
42
Scientists realized The crocodiles are able to navigate.
43
This is an important ability for them when they have to migrate for very long distances.
44
We may wonder if human beings can learn from the crocodiles and find our way without using technology.
45
However, through lots of research and experiments, Scientists conclude, that crocodiles can tell directions by using their senses to the sun.
46
so that they know where they're going.
47
This is an ability which human beings don't possess.
48
Another finding is that like the migration of birds who can travel thousands and thousands of kilometers, Crocodiles have the same system to help them travel.
49
The research is still going on in Northern Australia.
50
Scientists are working hard to gather more information about this amazing creature.
51
That is the end of section 4.
52
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
53
That is the end of the listening test.
54
In the IELTS test, you would now have 10 minutes to transfer your answers to your answer sheet.

推薦影片
這個影片適合誰?
如果你正在通過看YouTube學英語提升聽力和口語,尤其是想練習學術講座類內容,這個關於澳大利亞鱷魚研究的影片再合適不過。它適合有一定基礎、想挑戰長段落理解和英語口語練習的學習者。影片中的科學描述、實驗過程等內容,能幫你熟悉正式表達,為影子跟讀(shadowspeak)提供豐富素材。
值得積累的詞彙與表達
- monitor the movements:監測行動。如影片中研究人員用衛星監測鱷魚動向。
- implant under the skin:植入皮下。描述追蹤裝置的安裝方式,實用的科技類表達。
- relocate:重新安置。用於描述鱷魚的遷移管理,在環境類話題中常用。
- navigate:導航。指鱷魚依靠感官辨別方向,可延伸用於描述人類或動物的定位能力。
如何練好發音?
影片中演講者的發音清晰,語速適中,適合shadow speak練習。注意以下幾點:一是連讀,如“enable people to”中“enable”與“people”的弱讀連讀;二是重音,如“informative”“migrate”等詞的重音位置;三是語調,學術講座中陳述事即時語調平穩,提到有趣發現(如鱷魚導航能力)時略有上升。建議使用shadowing site的逐句跟讀功能,模仿節奏和停頓,提升口語流暢度。
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 sent · was implanted · is recorded |
| 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 · has begun |
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。
