## 题目原文

00:00:00,080 
 Part three. 
 00:00:02,100 
 You will hear two development study students called Paul and Emily discussing examples of green technology in preparation for a seminar presentation. 
 00:00:14,340 
 First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25. 
 00:00:43,800 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25. 
 00:00:51,520 
 Hi, Paul. Can we just go over the stuff we're presenting at next week's green technology seminar? 
 00:00:58,120 
 Yes, fine by me, Emily. 
 00:01:00,420 
 I know we've chosen the innovations that we want to focus on, but Dr. Stevens said we should consider the main impact of each one rather than simply describing the design. So, can we discuss that? 
 00:01:14,320 
 Okay. 
 00:01:15,660 
 What about the solar-powered water pump? Is it safer or easier to operate? 
 00:01:23,360 
 I shouldn't think so, but it does extend the farmer's growing season because they can bring up groundwater in the drier months. 
 00:01:31,260 
 Right. And that would have the effect of allowing them to earn more. 
 00:01:35,300 
 Shall we highlight that impact then? 
 00:01:37,640 
 Yes. Okay. 
 00:01:39,800 
 Did you see that design for a new school building? 
 00:01:42,940 
 Yes. I really liked the look of that. It's simple but very attractive. 
 00:01:48,200 
 Right. But the main thing about that is it's constructed entirely from local materials, so it avoids the need to transport stuff from other countries. 
 00:01:59,160 
 Yes, that's really good, isn't it? 
 00:02:01,320 
 Mm. 
 00:02:02,940 
 Next, the new type of cooking stove. 
 00:02:07,620 
 I think the main benefit of that is that it keeps the air cleaner. 
 00:02:12,380 
 Right. So it doesn't cause coughs and colds. 
 00:02:15,700 
 Mm. 
 00:02:16,200 
 And as far as I know, it cooks food just as quickly too. I think it looks nice as well. Then the treadle pump. 
 00:02:25,880 
 That was a really useful invention. People who own one don't have to spend ages every day getting water for washing and cooking. They can simply pump up well water. 
 00:02:37,920 
 And if they don't have to waste energy on that, they can do more productive things instead. And the solar light, that's much better than a traditional lamp because it's less of a fire hazard. 
 00:02:49,960 
 Yes. I bet schoolchildren love it. They can do their homework more easily. 
 00:02:57,280 
 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30. 
 00:03:28,840 
 Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30. 
 00:03:36,000 
 Right. Well, the other thing we've got to do is prepare some PowerPoint slides about that new irrigation machine. 
 00:03:43,740 
 Okay. Well, let's start with a simple overview. You know, that it's designed to draw water from under the ground, either to spray straight onto farm crops or to store for later use. Those are the main points. Oh, plus that it can be moved around the fields easily because it's very light. 
 00:04:04,960 
 Mm. Yes, that's good. Then we definitely need some images. I've downloaded some photos, but I think we should show this diagram too. It's clearer. 
 00:04:17,160 
 Oh, yes, that looks good. Let's put some labels on, shall we? Let's start with the inlet pipe for the water. 
 00:04:27,560 
 Um, is it the one on the left of the diagram? 
 00:04:31,440 
 No, it's the one with the right-angled bend in it, on the bottom right. It's what the water's sucked up into. 
 00:04:39,080 
 Oh, yes, of course. Then when you want to use the water straight away, you can attach a water sprinkler, can't you? 
 00:04:47,300 
 Yes. And that sprinkler fits onto the end of the short horizontal pipe on the left. 
 00:04:52,760 
 Oh, okay. And how does the pump action work? 
 00:04:57,340 
 Well, you have to push down the piston. That's that thin vertical rod. 
 00:05:03,180 
 The one on the right? 
 00:05:04,620 
 No, the one nearer the middle of the diagram. 
 00:05:07,440 
 Okay. 
 00:05:09,520 
 Where's the cylinder then? Is that the drum-shaped container? 
 00:05:14,420 
 Yes. There are two of them, but you can't really see the other one very well from this angle. When the piston's moved, it creates a vacuum inside it, and the water is sucked in, and the whole machine is operated by foot. Apparently, it's built in such a way that you don't have to press very hard to work it. 
 00:05:34,260 
 Yes. And the pedals are those two long planks at the top. Someone would stand on those to work the machine. Look, it's smaller than you think, isn't it? 
 00:05:46,240 
 Oh, yes. Good. 
 00:05:49,120 
 Well, I think we're just about ready to start. 
 00:05:54,660 
 That is the end of part three. You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part three.
