Discuss some of the pros and cons of each one. 00:01:24,100 You want to work together, Ella? 00:01:25,740 Sure, Dominic. Which solution do you want to look at first? 00:01:29,560 I think the supermarket garden project's interesting. 00:01:33,060 That's where the supermarket grows fruit and vegetables in the store and sells them. 00:01:37,780 Yes. Understandably, only a few shops have decided to adopt this idea. It's hard to set up. 00:01:44,060 What's the reaction from customers? 00:01:46,270 Well, of course, they love the idea. One thing I didn't expect, though... 00:01:50,880 What was that? 00:01:52,050 The idea is hugely popular with local chefs, and many of them are finding new ways to use the plants in all their different stages of growth. 00:02:00,200 I see. I found the solar car park idea to be really practical. 00:02:05,020 I know what you mean. Putting solar panels on the roofs of car parks to generate electricity might be a cost-effective way to power a whole shopping center. 00:02:14,260 The difficulty could be finding space to put all the panels. Some smaller shopping centers probably don't have covered car parks. 00:02:22,220 That's right. It's a shame because the technology seems to be all there and ready to go if the conditions are right. 00:02:29,440 What do you think of the wildlife crossing solution? You know, when a bridge or a tunnel is built over or under a major roadway so that animals can cross. 00:02:39,520 That idea has become very popular and has so many benefits. A lot of research has been done, hasn't it? 00:02:45,800 Yes. It's not surprising that the data reveals a huge drop in the number of road accidents in areas where there are wildlife crossings. That's one of the predicted outcomes. 00:02:57,600 Something I read about in the research, which I'd never considered before, was how the animal populations in these areas are affected. Naturally, more of them survive, but because their habitat is not interrupted too much by the roads, the genetic diversity of local species has improved. 00:03:14,720 That's true. It's worth the huge cost of building them if the result is a win-win for people and animals. 00:03:23,560 I found the a hundred percent renewable energy campaign, like solar and wind energy, to be really impressive. 00:03:30,460 Yes. It's not so much the size of the movement, I mean, only a few countries are involved, as the amount of support offered once a community joins. 00:03:39,650 Considering the sheer amount of time and planning it takes for a city to convert completely to renewables, the organizers of the movement would need to do that. Did you read about carrot mobbing as an environmental movement? 00:03:52,980 What's that? 00:03:54,040 It's where huge numbers of people learn through the Internet about where to shop at stores that use the profits to support environmental projects. 00:04:02,000 So they stop buying products that aren't eco-friendly, like a boycott. 00:04:06,840 No, actually, it's the opposite of that. It allows businesses to fund initiatives to help protect the environment by boosting their profiles. It's a pity that most participants don't get to know each other personally. It's all through online notices. 00:04:22,440 Hmm. 00:04:26,380 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-six to thirty on page 6. 00:04:42,480 Now listen and answer questions twenty-six to thirty. 00:04:49,440 Now, everyone, let's look at one particular environmental innovation, aerial reforestation. With your partner, discuss the process involved in this idea. 00:05:01,560 So aerial reforestation is where they drop mixtures from planes to sow vegetables, grains, or trees and so on in areas that might be hard to reach. Let's see. What are the steps? 00:05:15,800 Well, the first step is choosing the right area. Whatever size land you're working on, ensuring there's enough light is crucial. 00:05:24,200 The next step, whatever you're planting, is to make sure you have the right seeds. 00:05:29,510 To give them a better chance against the competition from other plants, you need to use a lot. 00:05:34,240 So then you make a mixture with decent quality, durable compost for nourishment. 00:05:39,080 Then do they infuse it with insecticide? 00:05:41,700 That's not necessary in this model. The next step is pressing the whole thing into a small chunk of clay to make a ball. This may then be covered in an outer material such as paper. 00:05:54,060 Right. That way, when it lands, it will add balanced nutrients to the mixture. 00:05:58,880 Yes, and it may also protect it from insects and other plants. 00:06:03,100 So a few days before they release it from the plane onto the land below, the final step is dipping it in water, just enough to get the germination process started. 00:06:13,140 Yes, and after that it... 00:06:18,540 That is the end of Section 3. You now have half a minute to check your answers. ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 According to Dominic, what is surprising about the supermarket garden project? 21 According to Dominic, what is surprising about the supermarket garden project? - At first, it was unpopular with customers - it has gained a lot of interest from chefs - many shops are using the idea now **答案**：it has gained a lot of interest from chefs 原文定位：One thing I didn't expect, though;The idea is hugely popular with local chefs, and many of them are finding new ways to use the plants 同义替换：「surprising」↔「I didn't expect」；「gained a lot of interest from」↔「hugely popular with」 ### 22. 22 What do the speakers identify as a possible problem with the solar carpark idea? 22 What do the speakers identify as a possible problem with the solar carpark idea? - The technology might not be well developed - The cost could be too high - There may not be enough room **答案**：There may not be enough room 原文定位：The difficulty could be finding space to put all the panels.
