Last month, you two went on a field trip to Bolton Island to look at the geography and geology of the island, didn't you? 00:01:12,400 Yes. We thought carefully before we chose Bolton. It's one of several similar islands off our west coast, all formed geologically about the same time. And- 00:01:23,760 Although it's been pretty thoroughly studied over the years. 00:01:27,460 There were regular ferries from the mainland, so that meant no hassles for us to get there. 00:01:32,360 Fair enough. In terms of physical geography, what did you focus on? Bolton's got some prominent rocks along its shore, hasn't it? 00:01:41,300 Yes. We considered those, but in the end, they just seemed a bit too ordinary. 00:01:47,060 But the island's got a deep, protected bay, which is perfect for boats to anchor in bad weather. So we decided to mainly look at that. 00:01:54,580 Actually, we're both interested in soil content, but to be honest, Bolton's so rocky with such poor soil quality that practically no crops grow there. 00:02:05,440 And did you have any problems doing your physical geography observations? Any trouble getting your hands on published materials, official maps, government surveys, things like that? 00:02:16,620 No. In fact, we took along all that kind of helpful stuff with us. 00:02:20,540 But you know, a lot of the time on the island, it wasn't always clear to us what were naturally occurring geological phenomena and what had been created by people. But in the end, I think we managed to sort most of our confusion out. 00:02:34,960 And luckily, we were able to talk to residents who are knowledgeable about the past and what had been constructed over the years. 00:02:41,780 And what was the most useful thing you two did to prepare for your trip? 00:02:46,040 The first thing we did was to look at the Bolton Island website, and that gave some information, but there wasn't a lot. 00:02:52,960 We did have a general plan of what we wanted to do during our few days on the island, but we decided to leave our schedule open-ended to allow flexibility. 00:03:01,910 We also consulted lots of old student reports, and I think we found that probably the best preparation. 00:03:12,120 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-five to thirty on page six. 00:03:32,500 Now listen and answer questions twenty-five to thirty. 00:03:57,240 Now, you're going to talk to the students who want to do independent field trips next year to give them some advice. You must have taken photos and made sketches. Lots of students have problems with that. Did you make any mistakes? Anything you wish you'd done better with your visuals? 00:04:14,480 Well, some indication of the relative size of things in a photo needs to be made by, say, including a familiar object in the picture. Regrettably, we didn't think of that. We didn't waste time trying to make our sketches perfect. Crew drawings were fine. Sometimes the light wasn't very good for artistic photography, but the pictures came out perfectly usable. 00:04:39,420 But we didn't always remember to put all the important information on the drawings like date, time, place, and so on. And that information was hard to reconstruct later. 00:04:49,860 I'm glad we never took more than one photo or made more than one sketch of any one thing. That saved time. 00:04:56,180 What's your advice about interviews with locals? 00:04:59,280 Preparing questions ahead of time isn't helpful. The main thing is reassuring the interviewees, telling them in some detail what the project is about and what you need from them. And we never recorded our interviews. That seems counterproductive and can inhibit your subject. And although the interviewees are the experts, if they go off topic, you should politely bring them back to what you're interested in, but never show whether you agree or disagree with what they're saying. 00:05:30,900 How about taking notes during your trip? Any advice? 00:05:34,800 We spent quite a lot of time checking the terminology when we were doing our notes, but we should have left that till we got back. But at the end of each day on the field trip, you should look through your notes and make sure you can understand them, revising them if necessary. 00:05:50,460 And develop a logical system of file folders for your notes. You'll need to take notes of much more than you need. Don't write down just the things you know are important. When you're working with another student, you should both take notes to ensure a complete record. 00:06:08,200 Right. Well, it looks as if everything is... 00:06:13,760 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 Why were Mark and Stella attracted to Bolton Island for their field trip? 21 Why were Mark and Stella attracted to Bolton Island for their field trip? - because it is geologically unique - because it is easily accessible - because it is largely unstudied **答案**：because it is easily accessible 原文定位：There were regular ferries from the mainland, so that meant no hassles for us to get there ### 22. 22 Which aspect of Bolton Island’s physical geography did Mark and Stella focus on? 22 Which aspect of Bolton Island’s physical geography did Mark and Stella focus on? - its natural harbour - its fertile soil - its rock formations **答案**：its natural harbour 原文定位：But the island's got a deep, protected bay, which is perfect for boats to anchor in bad weather.
