1
Yeah, let's go for it.
2
I actually went to New Zealand to study the other side of the island.
3
But to satisfy my curiosity, I started exploring this coastline.
4
And that turned out to be the day that I actually discovered the longest sea cave in the world.
5
To survey the cave, geologist Nicholas Barth and his team paddled their canoes through the cave's tunnels.
6
They discovered the Matainaka Cave is around 1.5 kilometers long,
7
70% longer than any other sea cave in the world.
8
This cave system on the Otago coast contains six of the ten longest sea caves in the world.
9
Exploring sea caves is a very difficult task.
10
Some parts of the cave are extremely narrow.
11
Others are filled with water right up to the ceiling.
12
The team must swim underwater to find their way out to the next section of the cave.
13
In this part of the cave, the team found some creatures called isopods.
14
In larger rooms, they found some impressive rock formations.
15
These formations carry a record of climate change over time.
16
It's one more piece of the global climate puzzle.
17
The team is also studying the cave for evidence of past earthquakes and tsunamis.
18
Such data helps geologists understand the area's risk for earthquakes and tsunamis in the future.
19
The team also mapped the cave using both traditional 2D cave surveys and also newer three-dimensional surveying tools.
20
With these 3D tools, the geologists can get better data about the shape and structure of the caves.
21
Barth's study of Matainaka Cave has also shown
22
that it is around 80,000 years old and getting about 2 centimeters deeper each year.
23
But there is still a lot of work for these geologists to do, and future studies will hopefully reveal even more about this incredible place.

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。
