## 题目原文

00:00:06,140 
 Now turn to section three. 
 00:00:13,180 
 Section three. You will hear two engineering students discussing a presentation they are preparing about a battery-powered motorbike. First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 
 00:01:12,940 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 
 00:01:20,680 
 Hi, Sarah. Shall we make a start on that presentation about our battery-powered motorbike project? 
 00:01:27,520 
 Yes, let's. It'd be nice to do a good job for the university open day. I hope the lecturer's right that it'll interest people thinking about coming here to study. 
 00:01:38,560 
 Well, they certainly should, and at least it won't be assessed. 
 00:01:42,920 
 Yes. And I guess we should be proud our project was chosen rather than anything done by others in our class. And our project's unusual because people usually think of environmentally friendly vehicles as being relatively slow. But our battery-powered motorbike can get up to one hundred and sixty-five kilometers an hour, the same as lots of petrol-driven bikes. 
 00:02:07,580 
 And it has an efficiency of ninety percent, whereas ordinary bikes are far less. They waste a huge amount of energy. 
 00:02:16,620 
 And our bike doesn't need a petrol tank or an exhaust system either. So markedly, the design is more straightforward, and it's also lighter. 
 00:02:27,000 
 Anyway, it's going to be quite a challenge to prepare something interesting and appropriate for all the people who might come. 
 00:02:34,380 
 Well, time is certainly going to be an issue. 
 00:02:38,080 
 You mean in terms of how much we have to deal with in only fifteen minutes? 
 00:02:42,800 
 Well, I was thinking more about the fact that the talk's next week, and we have a lot of other stuff on just now. 
 00:02:50,420 
 Absolutely. So how shall we organize things? We could just do a short talk and allow most of the time for questions. 
 00:02:58,520 
 Well, it'd be good to allow plenty of time for those, but I think we need to present quite a lot too. We could start by showing a couple of minutes from the film of the race it took part in. 
 00:03:10,560 
 Brilliant. I'm sure they'd love that. Then we can talk about how we built and tested the motorbike and so on. For example, one of us could talk through the project from the initial brief to prototype stage, and then the other take it on to testing and development. 
 00:03:28,740 
 Well, let's deal with that later. It might be better to have just you or me doing the talking, but we don't need to decide just yet. 
 00:03:38,700 
 Okay. So what about the slides for our presentation? Shall we work on the text for those now? Well, we could just use keywords. That'll help structure our talk. 
 00:03:49,860 
 How about using mainly visuals? I took lots of photos as we went along, so it'd be easy to illustrate the progress of the project that way. More interesting than diagrams and slides with lots of text can be boring. 
 00:04:05,480 
 Okay. Right you are. So do you think we should discuss things with the lecturer before going much further? We could do that this afternoon. 
 00:04:14,960 
 Wouldn't it be better to get a first draft done? Then we've got something more concrete to discuss with him. 
 00:04:21,920 
 Sure, but I'd quite like a bit more input before we spend a lot of time preparing something that might not be what's needed. 
 00:04:29,940 
 Okay. When did we have a work with Amish in the fourth year? His tutor had him doing something similar last summer, so I'm sure he'd give us some useful pointers. 
 00:04:40,920 
 Great. Let's do that after lunch. 
 00:04:46,400 
 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 
 00:05:12,960 
 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 
 00:05:20,140 
 Let's think a bit more about how the project went. That might give us some ideas. 
 00:05:25,400 
 Okay. 
 00:05:26,600 
 Well, first, I'd say that writing the report was hard. 
 00:05:30,900 
 Yes. I was dreading having to write eighty pages in just a month. But actually, it was harder making sure we didn't go over length. Anyway, I never imagined we'd deal with it with a day to spare. 
 00:05:45,100 
 No, it was lucky your sister had time to proofread it. She picked up on several careless mistakes, especially in the bibliography. 
 00:05:53,460 
 Yes. Well, she works in publishing, so she's used to checking things. I suppose it helped that we kept detailed notebooks throughout the year. That was a chore, but worth it. 
 00:06:05,140 
 Yes. I didn't enjoy keeping mine up to date. I actually found it really time-consuming, noting down all the adaptations we made to the design as we went along. I hadn't anticipated that. 
 00:06:18,760 
 Me too. And I thought the tutor could have given us a bit more advice at the beginning of the process. 
 00:06:25,560 
 That's right. I liked doing the concept sketches. For me, that was one of the best bits. I've always enjoyed those initial stages of the design process. 
 00:06:36,760 
 I was relieved that the tutor picked up on that mistake we made in our aerodynamic sketches. It would have been disastrous if that hadn't been picked up at an early stage. 
 00:06:47,240 
 Exactly. 
 00:06:48,700 
 Finding sponsors took quite some time, of course. 
 00:06:52,220 
 Yes, but we knew that'd be an issue, and I never expected it to be enjoyable. Not like the actual hands-on project work. The tutor certainly came into his own at that stage. 
 00:07:04,460 
 Yes. I never expected him to have such useful contacts in industry. Good thing for us he did, though. 
 00:07:12,300 
 Right. 
 00:07:16,300 
 That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
