Test practice track 5.

You will hear a university lecturer and a student discussing genetically modified crops.

First you will have some time to look at questions 1 to 7.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 7.

Hi, Dr Finn.

Hi, John.

Did you manage to read that article I sent you to help with your dissertation on genetically modified crops?

Yes, thanks very much.

I've just read it.

Some of the research results were pretty incredible.

They've made some amazing advances, haven't they?

Like the research on the maize crop they mentioned.

Yeah, that's the one that was described as being wildlife friendly, wasn't it?

Yes, it's good to see a GM crop that won't have a detrimental effect on nearby livestock.

And it's nice to see there's less focus generally on increasing profits above all else.

True.

I thought the research on the soya bean crop was really promising as well.

Apparently it's designed to be resistant to weeds, so farmers don't need to rely on chemicals to remove them.

And that'll lower the risks for growers too, then.

And if they could manage to do something similar with a crop like wheat, that'd drive down the cost of food and improve the quality of the water supply as well.

Yes, I like that it's not just pests and things that the new GM crops can guard against.

I was interested to read about the plans for a new potato crop.

Hmm.

It's said they're aiming to introduce an antifreeze that's found naturally in fish into the potato crops, so they can withstand extreme temperatures.

That would be a huge advantage for remote areas that struggle through harsh winter conditions.

I agree.

Another crop I've read about that could help people in poorer areas is a new variety of rice.

It's such a staple food in many areas, and the plan is to create a crop that contains a richer supply of nutrients.

Yes, I've read about that.

They're trying to produce rice that'll supply high levels of vitamin A in particular, aren't they?

Yes, but in my dissertation I'd also like to show that GM crops can have uses beyond just supplying food.

Well, did you read about the planned use for tomato plants?

Yes, that's amazing.

They plan to use tomatoes to transport medicines, don't they?

Yes, that's right.

Transporting vaccines isn't easy because they're so fragile.

So they're hoping to make an edible vaccine using tomatoes, one that'll be easier to ship, store and even administer.

It's a really good example of the varied uses GM crops can have.

Exactly.

And I'm hoping to include a section on the work that's being done on trees, poplar trees in particular.

The aim is to create a tree that can soak up contaminants, like heavy metals, right out of the soil.

It's an incredible idea, isn't it?

A tree like that could potentially eradicate many of our current environmental issues.

Yes, the work they're doing should really persuade people just how good this type of biotechnology can be.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you will have some time to look at questions 8 to 10.

Now listen carefully and answer questions 8 to 10.

I think articles like that can be very useful, don't you?

I agree.

It's important to reach out to the general public and show that biotechnology shouldn't be feared.

Yes, and the writer certainly covered a lot of the new food crops under development.

It's good to have the very latest information.

Things have clearly changed a great deal over the last few years.

That's right.

It could have been a bit more balanced in its approach, though, don't you think?

I suppose so.

There was really only one side presented.

People do need to have all of the facts, and this article didn't really do that, did it?

No. I suppose the aim was to provide a convincing argument for GM crops.

And what did you think about the proposed change to regulations?

Well, the writer was certainly very enthusiastic about it, but I have to say what they're suggesting sounds pretty alarming to me.

I'd have to agree with you there.

The plan is to give farmers more control

so they get to decide whether testing of any of their new GM crops is needed

and I'm struggling to see why they would want to do that.

I agree.

It's bound to make the public feel even more uneasy than they are at present.

It's certainly not going to win over anyone who already has their doubts about GM crops.

And I do think the public has a right to know about potential problems.

Even many scientists still have concerns.

Yes.

I used to think the only real concern was that these crops could spread uncontrollably and affect natural crops.

But that's not the case, is it?

That's certainly one issue.

But when it comes to getting consumer support, it's far more worrying that we still can't completely rule out possible allergic reactions to these foods.

I guess that's something that definitely needs to be researched thoroughly, and the public would need to feel reassured about.

Yes.

Tests they've done so far on chickens and pigs have shown that, at the moment, we can't really predict what impact these foods will have in the long term.

It seems like there's a long way to go yet.

这个视频适合谁？

如果你正在准备英语听力考试，尤其是涉及学术讨论的题型，或者想通过影子跟读（英语影子跟读）提升听说能力，这个视频再合适不过。它模拟了大学讲师与学生的对话场景，话题围绕转基因作物，内容兼具专业性与实用性，适合有一定基础、希望突破听力理解和口语表达的学习者。

值得借鉴的词汇与表达

detrimental effect：有害影响。例：这种转基因作物不会对附近牲畜产生有害影响。
staple food：主食。例：大米是许多地区的主食。
soak up contaminants：吸收污染物。例：杨树能从土壤中吸收重金属等污染物。
administer：施用（药物）。例：可食用疫苗更易运输、储存和施用。

这些表达在学术讨论和日常交流中都很常用，记住它们能让你的英语更地道。

如何练好发音？

视频中说话者的发音清晰，语速适中，非常适合影子跟读练习（shadow speech）。注意以下几点：一是连读，比如“aiming to”读作/ˈeɪmɪŋ tə/，“soak up”读作/səʊk ʌp/；二是重音，如“genetically modified”中“genetically”的重音在第三音节，“modified”在第一音节；三是语调，疑问句和陈述句的语调变化要自然。你可以反复播放视频，跟着模仿（shadowspeaks），逐渐跟上节奏。坚持使用这样的影子跟读网站（shadowing site）练习，能有效提高英语发音和听力理解能力。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

结构	视频中的用法
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事	I've just read · They've made · I've read
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的	was described · being done · be feared

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
