Here are my notes. 00:01:04,160 Let's sort this presentation out then. The first thing I found out about Stone Point is it's an extinct volcanic cone. You probably know that already, being a New Zealander. 00:01:12,840 Yes, and there are two other cones nearby which also overlook the harbor. 00:01:17,360 Right. 00:01:18,580 Yeah. The first settlers of New Zealand, the Maori, sailed to New Zealand thousands of years after these volcanoes erupted. I think the tutor allocated us this topic, though, because of Stone Point's significant historical role. It's been used by both Maori and European settlers as a place to shelter from attack or launch an attack for centuries. 00:01:41,440 Yeah, and the fact it was an ideal place for building a village, it would have been quite a sheltered spot. 00:01:47,620 I suppose the Maori settled there because they thought the volcanic soil would help their crops grow. 00:01:53,200 Well, they would have realized the benefits of the soil after a few good harvests, but initially, the fishing opportunities would have been the attraction. 00:02:00,480 Hmm, you're right. 00:02:02,320 Actually, I also read that Maori regard Stone Point as taonga. I believe that means a treasured thing. 00:02:09,740 Wow your Maori vocabulary is improving, Scott. Hmm, we do have to deal with Stone Point's cultural value for Maori. That's still part of its historical significance. But we need to keep most Maori terminology out of the presentation. Otherwise, a lot of the international students won't be able to follow us. 00:02:30,700 That's a shame. I'm sure they'd be interested. I mean, I am, but yeah, we wouldn't be able to explain it in the time allowed, so I guess we have to stick to English. 00:02:40,700 Anyway, European migrants turned Stone Point into a lookout point for ships. Then it became a fort, an army base in the late eighteen eighties, and then during the world wars, the fort was modernized again. 00:02:53,580 It's also been a public park sometimes. 00:02:56,980 I'd prefer to devote more of the presentation to the military use of Stone Point. There are some great websites about the engines they installed. 00:03:05,040 Sorry, I wouldn't go into the technical side if I were you. If you start describing mechanical stuff, people will switch off. 00:03:13,780 I think it's more interesting to look at the impact Stone Point had on the people's lives at the time. I mean, for example, there were about twenty-five years when they used local prisoners to build the tunnels and the underground rooms. They lived there too. 00:03:30,560 Yeah, I guess if we can find some first-hand accounts. 00:03:39,980 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-five to thirty on page six. 00:04:02,700 Now listen and answer questions twenty-five to thirty. 00:04:27,780 Okay, so let's make a checklist of things to do. For the early Maori inhabitation section, we have to look at the material we've used again and make sure we know who the writers were and when they wrote it. 00:04:41,320 Yes, that needs work. And for the part about Stone Point being used as a lookout point, I'm sure we can locate some drawings of how Stone Point looked then and the kind of ships coming in. 00:04:51,800 Nice. And what else? We haven't got a lot of detail for the reconstruction of the fort. We should add some more information about what it was the prisoners were adding to it. 00:05:02,800 Okay, I'll do that bit too. 00:05:05,260 So I'll deal with the section regarding the modernization that happened in the nineteen thirties and forties. I mean, that's the bit where we have the most visible evidence of historic buildings. I'll ring the Department of Conservation and see if they'll agree to let me film the site, maybe allow me access to some of the tunnels the public don't see. 00:05:26,800 Okay. For the nineteen fifties onwards, could you also arrange a meeting with someone from the Department of Conservation to ask them about their restoration work? 00:05:35,220 I could try. Oh, and just about its use as a public park today, where is the boundary exactly? Does it go all the way to the beach? 00:05:44,160 Not sure. I'll check that out. 00:05:46,460 Great. I suppose it would finish off the presentation nicely if we explain the future plans for the site. 00:05:56,520 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 According to Liz Stone Point played a key role in local history because 21 According to Liz Stone Point played a key role in local history because - it was used for defense or attack purposes - it was the landing point for the first Maori settlers - it was developed as a commercial port **答案**：it was used for defense or attack purposes 原文定位：I think the tutor allocated us this topic, though, because of Stone Point's significant historical role.
