Unit 2.

B. The 1 ,000 -year birdsong A.
3
Every summer the calls of thousands of swamp sparrows can be heard across North America's wetlands.
4
These little brown birds know only a few songs but they know them very well.
5
In fact, Their musical set list probably hasn't changed much for centuries,
6
Be like humans, baby swamp sparrows learn to communicate by copying adults.
7
From a young age, they learned to copy or mimic Songs sung by their elders.
8
Swamp sparrows very rarely make mistakes when they learn their songs, says biologist Robert Lachlan.
9
In fact, their mimicry is so accurate that the music changes little between generations.
10
See, just like children, The sparrows don't remember every song they hear, Lachlan says, They don't just learn songs at random,
11
they pick up commoner songs rather than rarer songs.
12
In other words, they learn songs they hear most often.
13
It's an example of a strategy that scientists call conformist bias.
14
Until recently, this learning ability was thought to be special only to humans.
15
D. Between 2008 and 2009, Lachlan's research team recorded the calls of 615 male swamp sparrows across the northeastern United States.
16
The researchers used computer software to break each song into a collection of notes or syllables
17
They then measured the differences between the tunes,
18
e The research revealed that only 2 % of male sparrows sung a different song from the standard tune.
19
The combination of accurate mimicry and conformist bias allows the birds to create traditions that last for centuries.
20
With those two ingredients together, you end up with traditions that are really stable, says Lachlan.
21
The song types that you hear in the marshes of North America today may well have been there 1000 years ago.
22
F. Lachlan's study is among the first to measure the longevity of song traditions within a bird species.
23
Another aspect scientists are now exploring is the impact of habitat loss on songbirds.
24
Man -made barriers, such as cities, roads and plantations, can break up a bird population into a number of isolated groups.
25
These barriers may prevent cultural interaction between songbird populations such as the exchange of song types,
26
G The findings are really exciting, says scientist Andrew Farnsworth.
27
He hopes that future research will evolve from these studies.
28
For example, scientists may be able to identify how other animals are able to preserve their cultural traditions.
29
Seeing the potential for it in other organisms is super cool, says Farnsworth.

上下文与背景

在这段视频中,讲述者介绍了北美湿地的沼泽麻雀及其独特的鸟鸣。这些小巧的棕色鸟类以其只有几种歌曲而著称,它们通过模仿成年鸟学习如何发声。研究员罗伯特·拉赫兰的研究显示,这种模仿能力和他们的文化传承不仅在鸟类界独特,甚至曾被认为是人类的专利,这使得这些鸟类的歌曲在多个世代之间几乎没有任何变化。这一现象展示了动物学习的复杂性,以及自然环境对其文化保留的影响。

日常交流的五个常用短语

  • “每年夏天…” — 用于引入季节性相关的话题。

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。
