1
secreture called leatherback turtle.
2
Janet O 'Vanakin of Florida Atlantic University has shown that they are the voltages of the leatherback's streamlined shape.
3
Swimming leatherback turtles have a lower drag, more efficient than other species indicating more efficient force.
4
To swim at the same distance to other sea turtles of the comparable size and weight, leatherback turtles spend on average 20 % less energy.
5
Among all the deep diving animals, the champions have always been assumed to be the marine mammals, the great whales and airless seals.
6
Our recent investigations, however, suggest that leatherback sea turtles may also be ranked among the ocean's greatest air -breathing dive reptiles.
7
While mirroring the dives of the leatherback sea turtles near St. Crocs, In the U .S.
8
Virgin Islands, scientists recorded a 650 pounds female ascended to more than 3 ,000 330 feet and remained there for 37 minutes.
9
High pressure also poses a challenge to the deep diver in terms of strong forces that could compress the chest.
10
causing broken bones or tissue damage.
11
Unlike its hard -shelled relatives, Leatherbugs has a softer shell made up from widely separated ribs embedded in thick tissue.
12
and whole structure is overlaid with a leathery skin.
13
How do the deep diving animals, whales, seals, penguins, and leatherback turtles avoid decompression, sickness, and other hazards while they dive to the great depths,
14
even sleep for a long period of time?
15
Many of the deepest diving marine mammals have a small lungs
16
and falsely exhale before diving in addition to reducing the balance so that they can dive more easily.
17
This severely limits the amount of nitrogen in their bloodstream.
18
One reason the leatherback ranges so far may be to specialise the diet
19
This giant of the sea feeds mainly on jellyfish full of high protein
20
and other useful minerals that are required during the day.
21
Although the variety of jellyfish and related prey are abundant, They are eaten by few other animals.
22
As one might suspect, a lifespan eating mostly jellyfish requires some special adaptions to make the job easier.
23
During the 1984 and 1985 nesting seasons, With the assistance of scientists, attach the recorders to 10 female leather bags that just laid eggs.
24
As a result, we are able to monitor the pattern of migration in Atlantic Ocean, when they return to the sea.
25
Some of the longest travel recorded for many animals have been made by this marine turtle.
26
In 1970, a female leatherback was tagged when she nested in Surami on the northeastern coast of South America.
27
Less than one year later, she was captured off the coast of Ghana, West Africa, having traveled 3 ,700 miles across the Atlantic Ocean.
28
Upon returning to the surface, the turtles change a quick breath and immediately hanging the street down again.
29
Little or no time was given to sleep or rest.
30
We then begin to track and tag the turtles when they swim back to the surface.
31
On closer examination, we notice the difference in dives depending on the time of the day.
32
Night dives were shallower with less in depth than day dives.
33
Leatherbacks are such swimmers that they rarely stop moving a behavior that has made it impossible to keep them in captivity.
34
The front flippers and more than half the lens of Ditto's body and the generated power from huge muscles.
35
which can account for 30 % of the animal's total body weight.
36
Since leather bags cannot easily be studied in captivity, researchers have been developing methods of studying them at sea.
37
They use the recorder, an instrument capable of recording location and the depths in C.
38
developed by Gerard Kuhlman of Psychological Research Laboratory.
39
The device has been used to study diving marine animals.
40
Why they keep diving, scientists soon realized that the turtles were probably costing much of the energy to follow their food source.
41
In tropical waters, jellyfish are most common at great depths in a biological zone called the deep scattering layer.
42
Discovered shortly after development of the sonar,
43
This zone consists of a layer of zooplankton below 1 ,800 feet during the day and migrates to the surface at night.

练习提示

在进行雅思口语练习时,特别是针对这段视频的速度和语调,采用shadow speech方法尤为有效。在听的过程中,可以尝试模仿内容的语调、节奏和重音,从而提高口语的流畅度。具体技巧可以包括:

  • 在观看视频时,先集中注意力理解内容,尽量对照文字记录,保持对话内容的关注。
  • 重复收听每个段落,直到能够自然流畅地跟随语音而说出相同的句子,这有助于提高提高英语发音的能力。
  • 可以使用shadowing site提供的资料来进行更有趣的练习,增强学习的互动性。
  • 留意发音中的重音和语调变化,尝试用不同的音调来表达相同的句子,增加口语表达的多样性。

通过这样的练习,学习者不仅能有效提高自身的英语听说能力,还能对自然界有更深的理解。

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。
