Now turn to section 3 on page 5.
2
Section 3.
3
You will hear three marketing students discussing their research findings on vehicles known as SUVs or four-wheel drive vehicles.
4
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25 on page 6.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
6
So guys, have you got all your notes on four-wheel drive vehicles?
7
Shall we go through what we've each found and think about how we'll put it together for next week's marketing seminar?
8
Yeah, sure.
9
Let's start with what these cars were originally designed for.
10
Oh, I've got something on that here.
11
Well, four-wheel drives, or sports utility vehicles as they are officially known, SUVs for short,
12
were originally designed for off-road use by people who need to get to remote areas out in the bush, for instance.
13
But the interesting thing is that they're actually sold now to a lot of people who just use them in cities, so they make quite different use of them.
14
OK, then maybe we should make a list of their advantages, shall we?
15
So, one thing is that they're good for commercial use, OK?
16
Uh-huh.
17
How about also saying utilitarian rather than luxurious?
18
So you're not paying out for unnecessary luxuries, OK?
19
What else?
20
Well, they have increased engine capacity and they're also heavier, so suitable for towing large loads.
21
So is this why so many people buy them then?
22
Well, no. They seem to have become fashionable now for rather different reasons.
23
Research carried out by automobile clubs shows that people buy them for business because of the sort of image they project.
24
and mums like to drive their kids to school in them because they think they're safe.
25
So that's another reason.
26
And you can get about seven people into one of these, so we could say seating capacity is another factor.
27
OK, another thing that came out of my research is that people also like the higher seats.
28
They say it means they can get a better view of the traffic ahead of them.
29
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30 on page 6.
30
Thank you. to 30.
31
But, you know, some of these reasons just don't work.
32
I mean, the safety thing is just a misconception, because generally in a collision they can do terrible damage to a smaller car.
33
That's right.
34
That's one of the disadvantages I have here.
35
Shall we go through those now?
36
Good idea.
37
So, let's say that potentially they are harmful in built-up areas.
38
the damage they cause is due to their weight.
39
That's right, isn't it?
40
Yes, it is.
41
I've got a note here about their chassis.
42
The bodywork on an SUV is stiffer
43
and doesn't crumple to absorb impact in a collision the way it does in smaller cars.
44
And there's another reason why they're not safe.
45
It's quite easy for them to roll over more so than an ordinary car because they've got a high centre of gravity.
46
So these are all the disadvantages.
47
How are we going to round this up?
48
Well, erm, I think maybe we could round up with a few ideas of how we can limit the use of these SUVs.
49
One thing that could be done is to limit them to people like farmers, who can prove that they need them.
50
That's good, but it might be hard to enforce.
51
And companies could also increase the insurance for SUVs, since they cause more damage when there's an accident.
52
That's a good idea too.
53
I tell you what guys, I'll write up these notes onto an OHT so
54
that everyone can see them when we talk through our notes in the seminar.
55
But I think we need to put together a list of our sources too.
56
Can you do that?
57
Sure, no problem.
58
That is the end of section three.
59
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
60
Thank you.

本节课学习内容
本节课通过一段关于SUV的学生讨论视频,帮助学习者练习听懂英语口语中的学术讨论场景,包括观点阐述、优缺点分析及解决方案探讨。学习者将提升对日常辩论性对话的理解能力,同时积累相关词汇和表达,为英语口语交流打下基础。
核心词汇与短语
- SUV(Sports Utility Vehicle):运动型多用途汽车,文中简称“四驱车”
- off-road use:越野用途
- centre of gravity:重心(文中指SUV因重心高易翻车)
- crumple:(汽车车身)变形吸能(碰撞时的物理现象)
- enforce:执行(文中指限制SUV使用的政策难以落实)
- misconception:误解(文中指认为SUV更安全是错误观念)
- towing large loads:拖拽重物
练习技巧:影子跟读法(Shadowing)
影子跟读法是提升口语流利度和听力理解的高效方法。针对本视频中学生讨论的自然语速(约120-140词/分钟)和轻松口语化 tone,可采用以下步骤:
- 分步跟读:先逐句播放,每句结束后暂停并立即重复,重点模仿连读(如“four-wheel drive”的自然连读)和弱读(如“them”在句尾的轻读)。
- 节奏匹配:视频中对话者频繁使用短句和停顿(如“Shall we go through...?”后的停顿),跟读时需注意节奏同步,避免抢拍或拖拍。
- 语气模仿:关注讨论中的疑问语气(如“Is this why so many people buy them then?”)和转折语气(如“But it might be hard to enforce.”的轻微降调),通过模仿语气增强口语的自然感。
- 整段复述:熟练后尝试整段跟读(无暂停),训练大脑的“即时反应能力”,这对提升实时对话能力至关重要。
坚持每天用本视频进行15分钟影子跟读,2周后可明显感受到听力理解速度和口语流畅度的提升。结合“看YouTube学英语”的场景,将语言学习融入真实语境,效果更佳。
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。
