U 2 Listening 1

Tour Guide: OK, everyone, here’s our next exhibit. Do you see the body of the little bird in that bottle? That is a dusky seaside sparrow. It was an old male that died on June 16, 1987. It’s kind of sad because he was the very last dusky seaside sparrow in the world. They’re now extinct. Yes, you have a question?

Male: Do you know why they became extinct?

Tour Guide: Basically, they lost their habitat. See, the dusky seaside sparrow lived only in one place—on Merritt Island in Florida. The island had a lot of mosquitoes and wetlands. The people on Merritt Island used chemicals to kill the mosquitoes.

Tour Guide: Those chemicals were also very harmful to the sparrows, and many died. In addition, the people on Merritt Island tried to control and exploit the wetlands. As they altered them, the wetlands were no longer a good habitat for the sparrows. The birds died one by one until there weren’t any left.

Female: So, if people were to blame, can’t we make sure something like that never happens again?

Tour Guide: We’re trying. The situation with the dusky seaside sparrow makes one thing very clear. We need to protect endangered animals. However, it’s a better strategy to protect the animals and

their habitats, too. After all, if an animal’s habitat is destroyed, the animal will likely become extinct.

Tour Guide: We’re trying. The situation with the dusky seaside sparrow makes one thing very clear. We need to protect endangered animals. However, it’s a better strategy to protect the animals and

their habitats, too. After all, if an animal’s habitat is destroyed, the animal will likely become extinct. That’s why the Endangered Species Act, which was passed in the United States in 1973, protects both endangered animals and their habitats. For example, the steelhead trout lives in rivers and streams on the west coast of the United States—the Columbia River in Washington state for instance. Recently, both the fish and the river came under the protection of the Endangered Species Act.

Male: But how can we protect large areas such as rivers and forests? No one—not even the government—can afford to buy or control all the land that endangered species live on.

Tour Guide: Good point. In fact, that’s what makes the Endangered Species Act difficult to fully enforce. There’s an ongoing conflict between some landowners and the government. Take the case of the gray wolf, for instance. At one time, the wolves were common all over North America, but by the 1930s they were nearly all killed. Then in 1973, the wolves came under the protection of the Endangered Species Act, along with huge areas of land—in Wyoming and Idaho, for example. This angered ranchers. They think they should have the right to shoot wolves that threaten their sheep and cows.

Tour Guide: So, landowners may understand the need for the protection of endangered species, but it’s understandable that they might also feel that the Endangered Species Act violates their rights. Yes?

Female: Is the law working? I mean, what is the status of endangered species today in the United

States?

Tour Guide: Unfortunately, the situation of threatened and endangered animals is worse now than in 1973, even with the Endangered Species Act in place. Reports on topics such as habitat loss, deforestation, and overfishing show that the situation for many species is far worse now than it was in 1973. Let me be more specific. Right now over 1,300 species in the United States are listed as endangered or threatened.

Tour Guide: And, it’s important to keep in mind that not many species are ever taken off the list. Since 1973, in fact, only around 39 species have been removed from the Endangered Species list. But that number doesn’t indicate the complete story. What’s significant about that number is that only 14 species were removed because they had actually recovered. Nine species became extinct, and the others were removed from the list after scientists found evidence that listing the species had been a mistake in the first place. Meanwhile, another 300 species may soon be added to the list, including a plant, the Las Vegas buckwheat, and an insect, the Miami blue butterfly. So, you see, even with the Endangered Species Act in place, we’re not making as much progress as we would like. Any more questions? OK, let’s move on to the next exhibit. This way, please.

导游:好吧,各位,这是我们的下一个展览。你看到小鸟的身体在那瓶吗?这是一个昏暗的海滨麻雀。这是一个老男人死于6月16日,1987年。有点伤心,因为他是世界上最后一个昏暗的海滨雀。他们现在已经灭绝。是的,你有问题吗?

男:你知道他们为何绝种了吗?

导游:基本上,他们失去了他们的栖息地。看到的,忧郁的海滨麻雀只住在一个地方在佛罗里达州梅里特岛。岛上有很多蚊子和湿地。梅里特岛上的人使用化学物质杀死蚊子。

导游:这些化学物质也非常有害的麻雀,和许多死亡。此外,梅里特岛上的人们试图控制和利用湿地。他们改变,湿地不再麻雀的良好栖息地。鸟儿死了一个接一个,直到没有了。

女:那么,如果人们指责,我们不能确保这样的事情不会再发生?

导游:我们尝试。昏暗的海滨麻雀的情况使一件事非常清楚。我们需要保护濒危动物。但是,它是一个更好的策略来保护动物和他们的栖息地。毕竟,如果动物的栖息地遭到破坏,动物可能会灭绝。

导游:我们尝试。昏暗的海滨麻雀的情况使一件事非常清楚。我们需要保护濒危动物。但是,它是一个更好的策略来保护动物和他们的栖息地。毕竟,如果动物的栖息地遭到破坏,动物可能会灭绝。这就是为什么《濒危物种法》于1973年传入美国,保护濒危动物和它们的栖息地。例如,虹鳟其生活在河流和小溪美国西海岸的推广的时候,例如在华盛顿州的哥伦比亚河。最近,鱼和河流遭到濒危物种法案的保护。

男:但是我们如何保护河流和森林等大型区域?甚至没有不延伸买得起或控制的所有土地濒危物种生活在。

导游:好点。事实上,这就是《濒危物种法》很难完全执行。有一个正在进行的一些土地所有者和政府之间的冲突。以灰狼的情况为例。一次,狼是常见的全北美,但到了1930年代他们几乎全部死亡。然后在1973年,狼群受到的保护濒危物种法案,以及巨大的陆地地区怀俄明州,爱达荷州,例如。这激怒了农场主。他们认为他们应该有权开枪狼威胁他们的绵羊和奶牛。导游:那么,土地所有者可能理解需要保护濒危物种,但这是可以理解的,他们也会觉得濒危物种法案违反了他们的权利。是吗?

女:就是法律工作吗?我的意思是,今天是濒危物种的地位在美国?

导游:不幸的是,威胁和濒危动物的情况现在比1973年更糟,即使《濒危物种法》。报告主题如栖息地的丧失,砍伐森林,过度捕捞表明,许多物种的情况是现在比1973年严重得多。让我更具体。现在在美国超过1300个物种被列为濒危或受威胁。

导游:而且,重要的是要记住,并不是许多物种都过了。事实上,自1973年以来,只有大约39物种已经从濒危物种名单中删除。但这一数字并不表示完整的故事。这个数字有什么意义,只有14个物种被移除,因为他们已经恢复。九个物种灭绝,和其他科学家们发现的证据表明,后被从名单中删除清单中的物种是个错误。与此同时,另一个300种可能很快就会被添加到列表中,包括植物、拉斯维加斯荞麦、昆虫,迈阿密蓝蝴蝶。所以,你看,即使《濒危物种法》,我们不是我们想让尽可能多的进展。更多的问题吗?好的,让我们继续下一个展览。这边请。Endangered Species Act (ESA)—1973

Protects animals and their habitats

Ex.: steelhead trout in Washington state

Ongoing conflict between landowners And government

Ex.: gray wolf in Wyoming and Idaho

ESA protects land; ranchers feel law violates their rights

Listening 2

Professor: OK, settle down, everyone. As you know, today we’re going to hear our first student debate. Today’s topic is on the pros and cons of legalized hunting. First, Yumi will present arguments in support of hunting. Raoul will respond to her points and present his arguments against hunting. Speakers, are you ready?

Raoul: Yes.

Yumi: Ready.

Professor: Yumi, please begin.

Yumi: Thank you. Well, the main argument I want to make today is that hunting contributes to wildlife conservation in a few important ways.

Yumi: First, uh, contrary to what you might think, hunting actually helps many species survive by controlling their populations. So, for example, without hunting, deer populations would be too large, and many animals would starve because there wouldn’t be enough food to sustain them. Raoul: That’s a good argument, but I think you’re ignoring an important point. Another reason deer populations could grow too large is because we have killed off wolves and mountain lions, um, and other animals that used to hunt deer. So, instead of allowing humans to hunt, we should allow populations of meat-eating animals to recover.

Yumi: OK, but don’t forget that wolves and mountain lions don’t just eat deer and elk. They also eat sheep and cows, and that’s, that’s a problem for ranchers. So, this is not a simple issue. Yumi: Anyway, let me continue with my next point. The second way that hunting supports wildlife conservation is through the sale of stamps. Many hunters have to buy stamps before they can legally hunt birds—for instance, ducks and geese. Oh, and when I say stamps, I don’t mean the type of stamps you use to mail a letter. The stamps I’m talking about are a kind of license to hunt. In the United States, the government’s Duck Stamp program raises more than 25 million dollars annually. And a lot of that money is used for protecting and maintaining bird habitats. Since 1934—that’s when the first stamps were sold—these funds have been used to buy 2.1 million

hectares of land for wildlife conservation. So, as you can see, hunters actually help wildlife conservation efforts.

Professor: Thank you, Yumi. Now let’s hear from Raoul, who will present the other side of the issue.

Raoul: Thank you. Before I get started, I want to respond to Yumi’s point about money that’s raised through the Duck Stamp program. It seems to me that if hunters need a license to kill ducks and other wildlife, we could also make tourists pay when they visit and observe animals in their natural habitats. In fact, I think that’s what the national parks do. I visited Yosemite National Park last May, and it cost me $20 per car to get in. We could raise those fees if necessary. OK, so to get back on topic, my main argument against hunting is that it’s cruel. Many animals that are shot don’t die immediately. It must be really painful and, um, that’s why hunting should be outlawed.

Yumi: I have to respond to that. Do you eat steak? What about the suffering of cows when they are killed for meat? Do you care about that? Mosthunters are careful to cause as little suffering as possible.

Raoul: Maybe most hunters do, but not all. Some hunters leave wounded animals to die slowly and painfully as the hunters pose for photographs. And some, some kill large numbers of animals that they have no intention of eating. In addition, there is a lot of irresponsible hunting that goes on. In rural Virginia—where I’m from—some of my neighbors drive the roads at night, using illegal lights to find and shoot deer. They also shoot deer out of season, and that’s illegal. And in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, authorities recently caught a group of hunters who were shooting black bears and selling their body parts for medicines.

Yumi: You’re right that these kinds of violations occur. However, they are rare. That’s why you read about them in the newspapers when they happen. Instead of focusing on the small number of irresponsible hunters, we need to think about the 98 percent of hunters who follow the law and kill only what they can eat. Hunters make it possible for the rest of us to enjoy seeing wild animals in their natural habitat.

Professor: I’m afraid that’s all the time we have. Thanks to both Yumi and Raoul for contributing their arguments to our debate. Now, let’s take a vote. Which side of the issue do you find more convincing? After listening to our speakers, are you in favor of hunting or against it?

教授:好,安定下来,每一个人。正如你所知道的,今天我们会听到我们的第一个学生辩论。今天的主题是合法化的利弊打猎。首先,由美将参数支持狩猎。拉乌尔会回应她点和礼物他反对狩猎。演讲者,你准备好了吗?

劳尔:是的。

弓:准备好了。

教授:弓,请开始。

弓:谢谢。好吧,我今天想要的主要论点是,狩猎导致野生动物保护在几个重要方面。

弓:首先,呃,相反你可能会想,狩猎实际上有助于许多物种生存通过控制人口。例如,不打猎,鹿的数量太大,许多动物会饿死,因为不会有足够的食物来维持。

拉乌尔:这是一个好论点,但我认为你忽略了一个重要的点。鹿的数量会增长太大的另一个原因是因为我们已经杀死了狼和山狮,嗯,和其他动物,用于猎鹿。而不是让人类狩猎,我们应该允许食肉动物的种群恢复。

由美:好吧,但别忘了,狼和山狮不只是吃鹿和麋鹿。他们也吃羊和牛,这是,这是一个问题的农场主。所以,这不是一个简单的问题。

弓:无论如何,让我继续我的下一个点。狩猎野生动物保护支持的第二种方式是通过出售邮票。许多猎人必须买邮票才能合法狩猎鸟类——例如,鸭子和鹅。哦,当我说邮票,我不是说你使用的类型的邮票寄一封信。邮票我所说的是一种狩猎许可证。在美国,政府的烤鸭券计划提出了每年超过2500万美元。很多钱是用来保护和维护鸟的栖息地。自1934年以来的第一批邮票出售了这些基金被用于购买野生动物保护210万公顷的土地。所以,正如你所看到的,猎人实际上帮助野生动物保护工作。

教授:谢谢你,弓。现在让我们听听拉乌尔,将另一边的问题。

劳尔:谢谢。在我开始之前,我想对弓的观点通过烤鸭券计划,募集到的资金。在我看来,如果猎人需要执照杀死鸭子和其他野生动物,我们也可以让游客当他们访问和观察动物的自然栖息地。事实上,我认为这是国家公园做什么。去年五月我去约塞米蒂国家公园,它花了我20美元每辆车。如果必要,我们可以提高这些费用。回到主题,我的主要反对狩猎是残酷的。许多动物是不立即死亡。它一定很痛苦,嗯,这就是为什么狩猎应该取缔。

由美:我必须回复。你吃牛排吗?什么牛当它们被杀死时的痛苦肉吗?你关心吗?Mosthunters 小心翼翼地造成尽可能少的痛苦。

拉乌尔:也许大多数猎人做,但不是全部。一些猎人离开受伤的动物缓慢和痛苦中死去的猎人合影留念。和一些,一些杀害大量的动物,他们没有打算吃。此外,还有很多不负责任的狩猎。在农村弗吉尼亚我从我的邻居晚上开道路,使用非法灯发现并射杀鹿。他们还射鹿的季节,这是非法的。在弗吉尼亚州谢南多厄国家公园,当局最近被一群猎人射击黑熊和出售他们的身体部位的药物。

弓:你说得对,这些类型的违规行为发生。然而,他们是罕见的。这就是为什么你在报纸上读到关于他们的事,当他们发生。而不是专注于少数不负责任的猎人,我们需要考虑98%的猎人只遵守法律并杀死他们可以吃什么。猎人让我们享受看到野生动物的自然栖息地。

教授:恐怕是我们所有的时间。由于弓和拉乌尔的贡献他们的论点我们的辩论。现在,让我们来投票。哪一方的问题你觉得更有说服力吗?听完我们的演讲者,你赞成或反对打猎吗? Example Answers

Example Answers

According to Yumi, legalized hunting is good for two main reasons. First, it helps control animal populations, so animals don’t become overpopulated and starve to death. Second, legalized hunting raises a lot of money that is used for wildlife conservation through the sale of hunting stamps. According to Raoul, legalized hunting isn’t good because some hunters are irresponsible. They hunt too many animals or kill them out of season. He also says that hunting is cruel to animals since some hunters let animals die slowly.

答案示例

根据弓,合法狩猎有利于两个主要原因。首先,它有助于控制动物种群,所以动物不成为人口过剩和饿死。第二,合法狩猎了很多钱用于野生动物保护通过狩猎邮票的销售。根据拉乌尔,合法化并不好,因为一些猎人狩猎是不负责任的。他们猎取太多动物或杀死他们的季节。他还说,狩猎动物是残忍的,因为一些猎人让动物慢慢地死去。

Example Answers

? I think Yumi presented stronger arguments because her ideas reflect reality better than Raoul’s. With a growing human population, animal populations do need to be controlled, and it makes sense to raise money for conservation from hunters who love the outdoors. ? I think Raoul presented stronger arguments because his ideas are meant to improve the current situation. Animal populations do need to be controlled, but that is the fault of human beings. We can correct our previous mistakes by helping the population of predatory animals to recover. We can also be creative in finding ways to raise money for conservation from other people who love the outdoors—not just from hunters.

答案示例

?我认为弓提出更有力的观点,因为她的思想比拉乌尔的反映现实。不断增长的人口,动物种群做需要控制,筹集资金是有意义的保护从猎人热爱户外活动。

?我认为拉乌尔提出更有力的观点,因为他的想法是为了改善现状。动物种群需要控制,但这是人类的过错。我们可以纠正之前的错误,帮助食肉动物的数量恢复。我们还可以保护创造性地设法筹集资金从其他爱户外的人不仅从猎人。

Listening 2-1

A: Of the 70 species of whales and dolphins, nearly all have been affected by human activities. B: Does that mean that all whales are endangered?

A: Not all, but many. Most species of baleen whales, such as blue and humpback whales, have been significantly reduced. Their status today is the result of commercial whaling in the 19th and 20th centuries, when whales were exploited for meat and oil. Of the 11 baleen species, nine are currently endangered. We have evidence that many toothed whales are also in danger of dying. Threats to whales include hunting, habitat destruction, and pollution.

B: What kinds of conservation efforts are taking place?

A: Many ongoing conservation strategies are helping whale populations. For example, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) ordered a stop to commercial whaling. Unfortunately, a number of countries have chosen to violate the rule and continue to kill whales.

B: Can whale populations recover?

A: Although it may be too late for some species, there are some indications that conservation efforts are working. For example, the California gray whale, which was near extinction, has made an amazing recovery. Gray whales were removed from the Endangered Species List.

B: How can I help save the whales?

A: You can help by learning about whales and their habitats. Donate your time to conservation organizations, and alter your behavior so that you create as little waste as possible. If we all participate in these efforts, we can help protect these magnificent animals.

答:鲸鱼和海豚的70种,几乎都受到人类活动的影响。

B:这是否意味着所有的鲸鱼是濒临灭绝的吗?

并不是所有的,但许多。大多数物种的须鲸,如蓝色和座头鲸,显著降低。今天他们的地位是商业捕鲸的结果在19世纪和20世纪,当鲸鱼被利用肉和油。的11个须鲸、九目前濒临灭绝。我们有证据表明,许多有齿鲸也面临死亡的危险。鲸鱼的威胁包括狩猎、栖息地的破坏和污染。

B:什么样的保护措施发生?

答:许多正在进行的保护策略帮助鲸鱼数量。例如,国际捕鲸委员会(IWC)下令停止商业捕鲸。不幸的是,许多国家选择了违反规则,继续杀鲸鱼。

鲸鱼数量能恢复吗?

答:虽然一些物种可能已经太迟了,有一些迹象表明,保护的努力工作。例如,加州灰鲸,濒临灭绝,做出了一个惊人的复苏。灰色的鲸鱼从濒危物种名单中删除。

B:我怎么能帮助拯救鲸鱼吗?

你可以通过了解鲸鱼和它们的栖息地。奉献你的时间保护组织,改变你的行为,这样您创建尽可能少的浪费。如果我们都参与了这些努力,我们可以帮助保护这些神奇的动物。

1. The endangered status of whales is the result of commercial whaling in the 19th and 20th centuries, when whales were exploited for meat and oil.

2. Today, threats to whales include hunting,habitat destruction and pollution.

3. Whale populations may recover as the conservation efforts are working.

4. If you participate in the following efforts, you can help protect whales by:

?learning about whales and their habitats;

?donating your time to conservation organizations

?altering your behavior so that you create as little waste as possible.

1。鲸鱼的濒危状态是商业捕鲸的结果在19世纪和20世纪,当鲸鱼被利用肉和油。

2。今天,鲸鱼的威胁包括狩猎、栖息地的破坏和污染。

3所示。鲸鱼数量可能恢复保护的努力工作。

4所示。如果你参加工作后,你可以帮助保护鲸鱼,:

?了解鲸鱼和它们的栖息地;

?保护组织捐赠你的时间

?改变你的行为,这样您创建尽可能少的浪费。

Q: What does a fish biologist do?

A: Well, lots of things. I teach at a university and research ways to maintain fish populations. I spend a lot of time trying to raise funds for research and contacting authorities to get permission for the research I want to do. And I get to travel around the world and educate people about sustainable fishing.

Q: What’s the focus of your research?

A: My interest is to protect large freshwater fish and their habitats. Forty percent of the freshwater fish in North America are in danger of extinction. That’s 700 endangered species. And that’s just in North America! Each year, when I join other biologists for our annual meeting, someone reports on the extinction of another species. That’s hard to hear.

Q: Don’t you get discouraged?

A: On the contrary, it just makes me want to work harder. I’ve always loved water, and I’ve always loved fish. I’m inspired to do what I can to help them survive.

Q: If you could tell people to do one thing to help save freshwater fish, what would it be?

A: Get involved! Contribute as much time as you can. Volunteer to help clean up a river, or write letters to politicians to make them aware of the issues. Above all, don’t ignore the problem because things are not going to get better without our help.

问:鱼类生物学家做什么呢?

嗯,很多东西。我在一所大学教书和研究方法维持鱼类种群。我花了很多时间试图筹集资金用于研究和联系当局许可,我想做的研究。我要环游世界,教育人们关于可持续钓鱼。

问:你的研究的重点是什么?

答:我的兴趣是保护大型淡水鱼和它们的栖息地。百分之四十的淡水鱼类在北美有灭绝的危险。700年的濒危物种。而这仅仅是在北美!每年,当我加入其他生物学家对于我们的年度会议上,有人报告另一物种的灭绝。这是很难听到。

问:你不气馁吗?

相反,它只是让我想要更加努力地工作。我一直很喜欢水,我一直喜欢鱼。我的灵感尽我所能帮助他们生存。

问:如果你能告诉人们做一件事,以帮助拯救淡水鱼,那会是什么?

参与!提供尽可能多的时间。志愿者帮助清理河流,或写信给政客们让他们意识到这个问题。最重要的是,不要忽视这个问题,因为事情不会变得更好,没有我们的帮助。

Unit5 Ⅰ.Lead-in 1.People keep pets for a variety of reasons. Some feel lonely and need company. Other people keep pets for security. Still others buy pets just to be in fashion. Finally, some people keep animals at home just out of love or pity. Their hearts are full of love, which pours out naturally for animals as well as humans. 2.Most people prefer dogs to cats. Dogs are more loyal to their owners than cats are. Also, dogs are more intelligent than cats. They can carry out human instructions and perform fairly complicated functions. Moreover, with its strength and agility, the dog is capable of protecting the house and its master. However, I wouldn't go as far as to claim that cats are worthless. Thanks to their soft fur, meek tempers and cute faces, they are often ladies' favorites. 3.It's hard to arrive at a conclusion on this question. It is obvious that if a pet like a cat is kept in the apartment without much chance of going out, it looks sad and inactive. Without proper physical exercise and enough exposure to the sun, it tends to become weak. However, they also have their compensation. In a human household pets are normally well fed. I should like to point out that a pet's intelligence is also an important factor. A dog or a cat may be intelligent enough to feel lonely, but I doubt whether less intelligent animals like a tortoise or fish can feel the difference between the human home and the wild or whether they can develop a feeling of loneliness, sadness or homesickness. In any case, a human home can provide them with better living conditions. 4.In my opinion, it is all right for us to eat meat such as pork, beef and chicken. To explain this, let me quote from the movie "The Lion King". The father lion tells his son that it is all right for them to eat the antelope: "When we die, our bodies become the grass. And the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life." In the case of dog meat, people's opinions seem to vary. I think with the progress of human civilization and improvement of the living standards, we should discard the habit of eating dogs, since they are so intelligent and so loyal to us. Ⅲ.Listening In Task1:Dogs aren't allowed here! Manager: I'm sorry, Miss, but dogs aren't allowed in this theater. Mary: But I have a ticket for him. Manager: I'm very sorry, but animals aren't permitted. Mary: You don't understand. This is a special case. My dog is so well-trained and so intelligent that he's almost human. Manager: I see that you have an exceptional animal, but... Mary: I promise you that if there is any problem we'll leave the theater immediately. I promise you that this dog isn't like any other dog you've ever seen. Manager: Well... all right. I'll let you go in, since the theater is almost empty tonight. But your dog will have to behave himself, or you will have to leave. Mary: Thank you very much. Task2:Put the cat out!
