Track 14 Reading 7b City of the Future To appreciate the audacity of Dubai,
2
you could start by going skiing.
3
The ski resort, located inside one of the city's shopping malls, looks from the outside like a silver spaceship.
4
You put on a thick coat, pull on your gloves, and then marvel at what strong air conditioning can do.
5
At the exit, you can buy a souvenir t -shirt.
6
A cartoon thermometer in Celsius announces, I went from plus 50 to minus 8.
7
Indoor skiing in the desert has become a symbol of Dubai's status as a wealthy, modern metropolis.
8
Originally a small fishing village, Dubai's fortunes changed forever with the discovery of oil in the 1960s.
9
Since then, it has evolved to become the largest city in the United Arab Emirates, with over 3 million residents,
10
huge shopping malls, and 100 high -rise towers.
11
But the rapid growth has come at a price.
12
To power its cars and air conditioning, the city has produced large amounts of carbon dioxide, CO2, from fossil fuels.
13
By 2006, Dubai had one of the largest ecological footprints in the world.
14
But now it is making some big changes.
15
To reduce its dependence on cars and lower its emissions, Dubai has invested in solar energy,
16
green buildings, and a comprehensive public transportation system.
17
Gleaming driverless trains now run beside the main roads.
18
In addition, all new buildings must meet strict energy regulations.
19
Smart lighting and cooling systems must switch off when no people are present in a room.
20
New buildings must also use solar panels for water heating.
21
The leadership has recognized that the growth of the economy is not sustainable without taking action on emissions,
22
says Tanzid Alam, a climate and energy specialist.
23
The most striking development can be found where the city's suburbs meet the desert.
24
Unlike much of Dubai, the sustainable city to the south feels more like a close -knit village community.
25
About 500 low -rise houses are distributed along attractive tree -lined streets.
26
They all face north, away from direct sunlight, and are close together to provide natural shade.
27
Each building has reflective windows and wall paint, which reduce the heat absorbed from the sun.
28
Rooftop solar panels and energy -saving lights contribute to the community's energy efficiency.
29
As a result, residents of the sustainable city now consume 50 % less energy than people living in other parts of Dubai.
30
A decade ago, the idea of a fully sustainable community was thought to be unrealistic.
31
But times have changed, says Faris Saeed, one of the creators of the sustainable city.
32
So too have prices.
33
The cost of living in the sustainable city is similar to some of Dubai's other neighborhoods.
34
It's a myth that sustainable has to be more expensive, Said says.
35
Dubai's leaders hope the sustainable city will become a model for the future.
36
By 2050, the government intends to obtain 75 % of the city's energy from renewable sources, mainly solar.
37
It also wants to have the smallest ecological footprint in the world.
38
The The plan is audacious, but if successful, even guilt -free skiing in the desert could become an environmentally sustainable reality.

你能学到什么

这个视频能帮你提升两项实用口语技能:一是描述城市发展时的逻辑表达,比如如何从“问题(高碳排放)”过渡到“解决方案(可持续社区)”;二是谈论环保话题时的词汇运用,像“生态足迹”“可再生能源”这类词能让你的表达更专业。此外,通过模仿视频中的叙述节奏,你还能学会在雅思口语练习中如何清晰传递复杂观点。

注意这些发音现象

视频里有不少连读和弱读值得关注。比如“carbon dioxide”中“carbon”的尾音/n/和“dioxide”的开头/d/连读,听起来像“carbondioxide”;“solar energy”里“solar”的/r/和“energy”的/e/连读,形成自然的语流。还有“it is”常弱读成“it's”,“of the”弱读成“ov the”,这些都是影子跟读(shadowspeak)时需要重点模仿的细节。

像母语者一样表达

要模仿视频中的节奏和重音,关键是抓住核心信息词。比如“Dubai's fortunes changed forever with the discovery of oil”中,“fortunes”“changed”“discovery”“oil”需要重读,突出迪拜发展的转折点。而在“residents consume 50% less energy”中,“50% less”要放慢语速,强调节能效果。练习时可以用英语影子跟读(shadow speak)的方法,逐句重复,注意语调的起伏——比如说到“audacious plan”时,语调上扬,体现出计划的大胆。记住,shadowspeaks并不只是机械重复,而是要感受母语者的表达习惯,这样你的口语才能更自然。

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has become · has evolved · has come
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的can be found · are distributed · was thought

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。
