Unit 12.
2
B. The Missing Pilot.
3
A. On July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan left Ley, New Guinea, for Howland Island in the Pacific.
4
This was without a doubt the longest and most dangerous part of their trip around the world.
5
Earhart had trouble shortly after take-off.
6
The weather was stormy, so she had to fly at approximately 3,000 metres.
7
Going this high, the plane used up gas quickly.
8
After about twenty hours, Earhart and Noonan approached Howland Island.
9
The island was only about a hundred kilometres away at this point, but the bright sun was shining in their faces so they couldn't see it.
10
Near Howland, a ship, the Itasca, was waiting.
11
Earhart contacted the ship.
12
Gas is low, she said.
13
The Itasca tried to maintain contact with her, but it got no response.
14
Finally, the Itasca called for help.
15
People searched for Earhart and Noonan for days.
16
Despite great efforts, they found nothing.
17
Answers to a mystery?
18
See, what happened to Amelia Earhart, no one knows for sure.
19
During the flight, she likely headed in the wrong direction, because the sun was bright and it was hard to see.
20
Perhaps she and Noonan got lost somewhere over the Pacific.
21
Soon after, her plane ran out of gas and she crashed into the sea.
22
Another idea is that Earhart might have landed on a nearby, uninhabited island called Nikumaroro, where she later died.
23
Researchers recently brought bone-sniffing dogs to the island, though, and no human bones were found.
24
However, the dogs did detect the smell of bones that decomposed long ago.
25
These bones could have been Earhart's.
26
A more extreme theory is that Earhart flew the plane to the Japanese-controlled Marshall Islands, a thousand kilometres to the north,
27
and later secretly returned to the United States under a new name.
28
d.
29
The first theory seems most likely.
30
However, none of these ideas has been proven.
31
Today, people are still investigating Earhart's and Noonan's disappearance.
32
Whatever happened, Earhart probably died as she wished.
33
When I go, she once said, I'd like best to go in my plane.

阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特的失踪之谜:真实情境还原
1937年7月2日,传奇飞行员阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特与领航员弗雷德·努南驾驶飞机从新几内亚飞往太平洋上的豪兰岛,这是他们环球飞行中最漫长也最危险的一段。起飞后不久,暴风雨迫使他们爬升至3000米高空,燃油消耗极快。接近豪兰岛时,刺眼的阳光让他们无法目视岛屿,与接应船只“伊塔斯卡号”的通讯也突然中断。此后,两人杳无音讯,成为 aviation 史上最著名的谜团之一。这个真实故事不仅充满悬念,更是练习英语听说的绝佳素材,尤其适合雅思口语练习中“历史事件”或“未解之谜”类话题。
实用表达与搭配:提升口语流畅度
- without a doubt:毫无疑问。可用于强调观点,如“Without a doubt, her courage inspired millions.”(毫无疑问,她的勇气激励了数百万人。)
- run out of gas:燃油耗尽。引申义可表示“精力耗尽”,如“I ran out of gas halfway through the presentation.”(我在演讲中途没了力气。)
- uninhabited island:无人岛。描述地理场景时常用,如“They were stranded on an uninhabited island for a week.”(他们在无人岛上被困了一周。)
- maintain contact:保持联系。适用于通讯或人际关系场景,如“The team tried to maintain contact with the base.”(团队试图与基地保持联系。)
- under a new name:以新名字。可用于讲述身份变化,如“He started a new life under a new name.”(他以新名字开始了新生活。)
影子跟读挑战:现在就开口!
影子跟读(shadowing)是提升英语发音和流畅度的高效方法。现在就打开视频,跟着以下片段进行练习:“When I go, I'd like best to go in my plane.” 先听一遍原音,注意重音(best, plane)和语调(句尾下降),然后立即跟读,尽量模仿语速和节奏。重复5次后,录下自己的声音与原音对比。坚持一周,你会发现提高英语发音不再困难!这个练习还能帮助你掌握“shadow speech”的核心技巧——边听边说,同步反应,为雅思口语练习打下坚实基础。
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 | were found · has been proven |
| 过去进行时 was/were + -ing — 过去某一时刻正在进行的动作 | was shining · was waiting |
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。
