First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-five. 00:00:31,780 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-five. 00:01:15,620 Hey, Ian, how far along are you on preparing the presentation on volcanoes next week? 00:01:22,860 Not much. 00:01:24,300 Maybe we can straighten things out first? 00:01:27,740 Sure. I decided to start with shield volcano. The name derives from its similarity in shape to a warrior's shield lying face up. The Hawaiian shield volcanoes are the most famous examples. Professor Joan mentioned that many scholars have already done quite a lot of research in this field. We could retell conclusions from published papers. 00:01:52,660 I'm not sure. I mean, is that even allowed? I know we don't have to use first hand data we collect, but copying others? 00:02:02,700 Come on, it's not like we are using their findings as our own. The professor said it would be okay as long as we cited our sources. 00:02:11,940 Oh, okay. 00:02:13,580 Do you have any ideas about strato volcanoes? 00:02:17,390 Strato volcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, develop over many thousands of years through repeated eruptions and other volcanic activity. But the current information I have at hand is only very vague. Fuller descriptions are needed for this. 00:02:37,640 I'm sure you can find them. 00:02:39,760 All right then. Leave that to me. Have you read anything about rhyolite caldera complexes? 00:02:46,860 Yeah. They are the most explosive volcanoes on Earth and don't even look like volcanoes. The origin of these volcanoes, like Yellowstone, is associated with a hotspot. 00:02:59,280 You've got most of the information correct. Unfortunately, the last bit you mentioned is wrong. The origin of this type of volcano remains a mystery. The hotspot origin theory doesn't work for most other rhyolite caldera. 00:03:16,020 Right. I'll change that part. What about the position on monogenetic fields? 00:03:22,440 It's shocking to see the photos of these immense volcanoes. There are numerous monogenetic fields in the American Southwest and Mexico, but I got all the information from a website without specifying its source. We'll have to examine the content again later. 00:03:42,080 Okay. I can help with that. 00:03:44,660 Lastly, we have cinder cones. What do you have on that? 00:03:49,670 Well, this type of volcano is usually tiny to the other volcanoes and thus sounds less attractive. Maybe we should leave it out. It seems pretty unimportant to me. 00:04:01,680 I agree. It's impossible to cover everything. 00:04:07,920 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:04:18,899 Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:05:02,340 Erica, can you work on the delivery part? I don't want to do it anymore. 00:05:07,840 I'm okay with that. But why is that? 00:05:11,100 I was marked so low for the last presentation and didn't even have a clue why. Maybe it's because I didn't include enough data on it. 00:05:20,340 Well, I'm not sure about that. I think maybe you did not prepare the topic well enough. You tried to explain the contributing factor forming the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean, but you just read everything out loud without fully comprehending it yourself. 00:05:39,500 Right. That must have been it. 00:05:42,060 We also have to look for supporting materials to illustrate the formation of different volcanoes. 00:05:49,520 What about documentaries? 00:05:51,560 They can be an excellent way to illustrate the volcanic eruption, but that might be too long for our presentation. We've only got twenty minutes. 00:06:02,108 Have you considered adding photos to our handouts? 00:06:05,768 That's an option, but people may focus on these photos rather than paying attention to what we have to say. Maybe we can search online for part of a film about volcanoes and add it to the end of our presentation. 00:06:22,568 That would be better. So how should we start our presentation? 00:06:27,388 Maybe we can first introduce some terms like extinct volcanoes and dormant volcanoes. 00:06:35,108 Why is that? 00:06:36,528 Even though they are widely accepted terms among ordinary people, academia wouldn't accept them because there are no set definitions. For example, an extinct volcano would be one nobody expects to erupt again. But there have been several eruptions from widely acknowledged extinct volcanoes. 00:06:59,508 That's an excellent way to start our presentation. What did the professor say about your last presentation? 00:07:06,738 There is still room for improvement. She said that I had an in-depth analysis and provided enough statistics, but I didn't carry on and discuss my take on it. 00:07:18,868 Right. So maybe we could also discuss the impact volcanoes have on humans and our planet. 00:07:26,388 Yeah. There's little doubt that volcanoes have been instrumental in wiping out countless species during major extinction events. But volcanic activity also shapes new habitats, enriching the soil with nutrients that allow life to thrive. People haven't realized that there are abundant mineral resources waiting to be exploited in volcanoes. 00:07:54,928 I agree. So now we can... 00:08:00,218 That is the end of part three. You now have half a minute to check your answers to part three. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. shield volcanoes shield volcanoes - need more photos to support - repeat other people's studies - inaccurate information - need first-hand material - need more details - no need to talk about it **答案**：repeat other people's studies 原文定位：We could retell conclusions from published papers 同义替换：「repeat」↔「retell」；「studies」↔「published papers」 ### 22. strato volcanoes strato volcanoes - need more photos to support - repeat other people's studies - inaccurate information - need first-hand material - need more details - no need to talk about it **答案**：need more photos to support 原文定位：the current information I have at hand is only very vague.
