made to the Arctic Circle with a team of Canadian wildlife experts.

You now have 45 seconds to look at Part 2.
6
Thank you.
7
Last year, I found myself flying to the Arctic Circle with five biologists from the Canadian Wildlife Service.
8
As our small plane descended towards a snow -covered runway, I looked out of the window at the frozen ocean below.
9
I could see small holes in the ice and, around them, lots of extraordinary little figures rather like ants.
10
I was told they were seals basking on the ice in the sun.
11
Ten minutes after we'd landed, I had my first sighting of a wolf, which my eagle -eyed colleagues pointed out to me, at least 700 metres away.
12
And later on, I was lucky enough to see a caribou with its huge antlers at much closer range.
13
At first sight, the Arctic seems to be a kind of desert, but there are plants and animals around.
14
You just have to look around for them.
15
You may find what's called an oasis.
16
This is a little confined area with access to water, where vegetation can establish itself and provide nutrients for animals.
17
Arctic plants have evolved to cope with this harsh environment, like the yellow arctic poppy, which only has a tiny tuft of leaves visible, as the bulk of the plant,
18
a network of roots, stays underground.
19
Its leaves remain green all winter, so it can make the most of the short growing season.
20
The diversity of bird species decreases as you travel north, but there are birds which spend the winter here, and others that come back in the spring.
21
Most of these birds get their nourishment from seeds, although a predator like the snowy owl feeds on small mammals called lemmings, and others do manage to find fish.
22
For accommodation, we had tents which looked just like the igloos the local Inuit people build out of ice, with little tunnels at the front.
23
Only ours were orange and made of nylon, and our only connection to the outside world was our radio link.
24
You notice how light the snow cover is.
25
It scatters with the wind, and there are hardly any deep drifts.
26
Apart from the cold, the main hazard is the wildlife, and I received a brief introduction on the correct action to take if a polar bear came to visit.
27
There are other large animals, like the muskox, but they seldom pose a threat.
28
Another thing was that recording the team's descriptions of wildlife, which was my task was incredibly difficult the recorder itself was fine
29
but batteries just don't work in the cold
30
so I had to hold them inside my thick coat to keep them warm
31
but on the whole
32
I now
33
you'll hear the recording again.

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 6 次缩略和弱读形式,例如 don't, we'd, you'll。请按听到的简短形式来说。

  • “sh” 和 “zh” 音: establish /ɪˈstæb.lɪʃ/, harsh /ˈhɑɹʃ/, accommodation /əˌkɒm.əˈdeɪ.ʃən/, vegetation /ˌvɛd͡ʒəˈteɪʃən/, nourishment /ˈnɝɪʃmənt/

中文母语者容易读错的音:

  • /v/ — 不要读成 /w/,上齿轻触下唇: visible /ˈvɪzɪb(ə)l/, diversity /daɪˈvɜː(ɹ)sɪti/, evolve /ɪˈvɑlv/, vegetation /ˌvɛd͡ʒəˈteɪʃən/
  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚,后面不要加元音: wildlife /ˈwaɪldlaɪf/, leaf /lif/, establish /ɪˈstæb.lɪʃ/, thick /θɪk/, desert /ˈdɛz.ɚt/
  • /æ/ — 嘴张大,不要读成 /e/: establish /ɪˈstæb.lɪʃ/, hazard /ˈhæzəd/, ant /ænt/, antler /ˈænt.lɚ/, bask /bæsk/

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频,不要开口,记下不认识的单词。
  2. 用正常速度逐句跟读,每句重复到你的节奏与说话人一致为止。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 wildlife, leaf, establish 这类单词。

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。
