跟读练习: IELTS listening practice Part 4 - the A.U.V (answer & transcript) - 通过视频学习英语口语

1
Autonomous underwater vehicle, or AUV.
2
It actually resembles a miniature airplane that moves deep in the ocean.
3
It's not large enough to have a human crew aboard, and so its behavior is really that of a robot.
4
The AUV is programmed to calculate
5
and record a range of data depending on the mission it is carrying out at any one time.
6
On previous missions, it has been programmed to record water pressure, as well as how much salt there is in the water.
7
On a more recent mission around Bermuda, an AUV was equipped with a special instrument that showed the temperature of the ocean at different depths.
8
It can also assess the quality of the water in general.
9
So, as you see, it is quite a versatile and useful little piece of equipment.
10
We use its measurements to determine
11
and increase our understanding of ocean behaviors as well as its role in and influence on our climate.
12
This instrument also has many other benefits.
13
It can be launched and used relatively quickly.
14
Also, there's no need for cables to physically link it to a boat.
15
There are disadvantages, though.
16
AUVs move at only modest speeds, up to 25 centimeters per second.
17
In addition, the AUV structure cannot collect water samples, so other equipment must be used to conduct a chemical analysis of the water.
18
Now, I'm sure you're all wondering how the AUV actually works.
19
First, let's see how an AUV actually moves.
20
L. It moves by pumping oil between two bladders.
21
This helps the AUV to sink or float.
22
The AUV records the data and measurements that it has been programmed to take while it rises to the surface.
23
At the beginning and end of each dive, it obtains records and transmits its position by exposing an antenna embedded within the tip of the right wing.
24
Okay, so that's the AU.
25
Thank you.
26
Thank you.
27
Thank you.
28
Thank you.

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
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的is programmed · has been programmed · was equipped
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has been programmed

需要注意的发音

  • 长单词——注意重音位置: underwater /ʌndɚˈwɔtəɹ/, autonomous /ɔˈtɑnəməs/, miniature /ˈmɪn.(i)ə.tʃəɹ/, disadvantage /ˌdɪsədˈvæntɪd͡ʒ/

中文母语者容易读错的音:

  • /v/ — 不要读成 /w/,上齿轻触下唇: dive /daɪv/, disadvantage /ˌdɪsədˈvæntɪd͡ʒ/, versatile /ˈvɜː.səˌtaɪl/
  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚,后面不要加元音: instrument /ˈɪnstɹəmənt/, measurement /ˈmɛʒ.ə.mənt/, collect /ˈkɑlɪkt/, pump /pʌmp/, robot /ˈɹoʊ.bɑt/
  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: airplane /ˈɛɹˌpleɪ̯n/, resemble /ɹɪˈzɛmbəl/

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 instrument, measurement, obtain 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。
