Section 4.
2
You will hear a university lecture...
3
about an endangered bear in British Columbia, Canada, known as the Spirit Bear.
4
First?
5
You have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
6
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
7
Today, we continue our series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered member of the black bear family.
8
One in ten black bears is actually born with a white coat.
9
which is the result of a special gene that surfaces in a few.
10
Local people have named it the Spirit Bear.
11
And according to the legends of these communities, its snowy fur brings with it a special power.
12
Because of this, it has always been highly regarded by them
13
so much that they do not speak of seeing it to anyone else.
14
It is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area.
15
The white bear's habitat is quite interesting.
16
The bear's strong relationship with the old -growth rainforest...
17
is a complex one.
18
The white bear relies on the huge, centuries -old trees in the forest in many ways.
19
For example, the old -growth trees have extremely long roots
20
that help prevent erosion of the soil along the banks of the many fish streams,
21
Keeping these banks intact is important because these streams are home to salmon, which are the bear's main food source.
22
In return, the bear's feeding habits nurture the forest.
23
As the bears eat the salmon, they discard the skin and bones in great amounts on the forest floor which provide vital nutrients.
24
These produce lush vegetation that sustains thousands of other types of life forms,
25
from birds to insects and more.
26
Today, the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia on a few islands,
27
there is great concern for their survival, since it is estimated that less than 200 of these white bears remain.
28
The best way to protect them is to make every effort to preserve the delicate balance of their forest environment,
29
In other words, Their ecosystem.
30
The greatest threat to the bear's existence is the loss of its habitat.
31
Over many years, logging companies have stripped the land by cutting down a large number of trees.
32
In addition, they have built roads which have fractured the areas where the bear usually feeds.
33
and many hibernation sites have also been lost.
34
The logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears fish.
35
To make matters worse, the number of salmon in those streams is declining.
36
Because there is no legal limit on fishing at the moment.
37
All these influences have a negative impact on the spirit bear's very existence.
38
which is made all the more fragile, by the fact that reproduction among these bears has always been disappointingly low.
39
And so what's the situation going forward?
40
Community organizations, environmental groups, and the British Columbia government are now working together on the problem.
41
The government is now requiring logging companies.. to adopt a better logging method which is a positive step.
42
However, these measures alone may not be sufficient to ensure a healthy population of the spirit bear in the future.
43
Other steps also need to be taken.
44
While it is important to maintain the spirit bearer's habitat, there also needs to be more emphasis on its expansion.
45
The move is justified as it will also create space for other bears that are losing their homes.
46
That is the end of section four.
47
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
48
Thank you.
49
Thank you.

本課程概述

在本課程中,學習者將通過收聽有關加拿大卑詩省瀕危熊的講座,增強他們的聽力和口語技巧。我們將探索有關靈魂熊的生態學和保護,並學習相關的關鍵詞與短語。通過這段講座,學員將練習在真實對話中使用這些詞彙,提升英語口說能力。

關鍵詞與短語

  • 靈魂熊 (Spirit Bear) - 一種具有特殊基因的白色黑熊。
  • 栖息地 (habitat) - 熊生活的環境。
  • 老樹林 (old-growth rainforest) - 支撐熊的生態系統。
  • 生境破壞 (habitat loss) - 對靈魂熊生存的重大威脅。
  • 營養 (nutrients) - 熊的飲食對森林生態的重要影響。
  • 捕魚 (fishing) - 熊主要的食物來源,也受環境影響。
  • 社區組織 (community organizations) - 參與保護靈魂熊的團體。
  • 林業公司 (logging companies) - 對生態造成影響的企業。

練習技巧

在進行此課程的時候,您可以使用shadow speaks技巧來提升您的口語能力。建議您聆聽講座的開始部分,然後重複講者的話,模仿其語調和速度,以達到最佳的效果。此段落的講述速度適中,加上語音清晰,讓您能夠更好地跟上。嘗試在每次聽完一段話後暫停,然後逐句跟讀,這樣可以幫助您熟悉語言的節奏與流暢度。

此外,結合雅思口語練習,可以參考聽音頻時記錄下您不熟悉的詞彙,然後查找其正確發音。這種方式不僅能提升您的聽力技能,還能加強您在日常對話中的應用。通過shadow speech練習,您將能夠更自信地使用所學的新詞彙,並改善口語流利度。

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。
