1
About 2,000 years ago, off the coast of the Greek island of Antikythra,
2
a large ship was sailing to Rome, filled with many beautiful and expensive items.
3
As it passed the island, the ship was hit by a storm and sank.
4
In 1900, some divers found some interesting objects at the shipwreck.
5
Among the items was the Antikythera mechanism, a machine used to study the stars.
6
Some call it an ancient computer.
7
But the story doesn't end there.
8
In 2017, a new team of archaeologists returned to the area where the ship had sunk.
9
There, they dove into the water and searched the seabed.
10
Soon they had found many ancient artifacts.
11
One of these artifacts was an arm from a metal statue.
12
The archaeologists carefully moved the arm off the seabed and out of the water.
13
Later, on their boat, they studied it very carefully.
14
The team think the statue is of a Greek thinker.
15
Another treasure found from this shipwreck was a metal disc.
16
Just like the statue's arm, the disc was brought out of the water and studied.
17
On the disc is a picture of a bull.
18
But no one knows what the picture means or what the object was used for.
19
In the following days, the archaeologists found many more artifacts from the shipwreck.
20
They think Antikythra has the area's largest number of shipwreck artifacts.
21
So they plan to keep looking so they can understand more about the ship that sank here and the treasures it carried.

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。
