## 题目原文

00:00:01,380 
 Part four. 
 00:00:03,460 
 You will hear a geography professor telling his class about an upcoming field trip to the far north of Quebec in Canada. 
 00:00:13,060 
 First, you have some time to look at questions thirty-one to forty. 
 00:01:07,450 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions thirty-one to forty. 
 00:01:14,920 
 Good morning. Next week is the Geography three thirty-one field trip to the far north of Quebec. Today, I'll discuss your trip and your tasks. As you know, you will be close to the Arctic Circle. You're going to travel up the James Bay Road through a region that is very remote and uninhabited, yet very beautiful. The highway is six hundred and twenty kilometers long, but it's fully paved for the entire length. 
 00:01:48,620 
 Where the highway begins, there is a roadside office where you must stop. The road is remote, so your registration is very important in case of an emergency. The office is staffed twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week. You have to sign in to go up the road and sign out upon your return. For additional safety, at different places along the highway, telephones have been installed which connect with staff in the office. Remember, there is no mobile service in this remote area. 
 00:02:27,380 
 The first work of your field trip is at the end of the James Bay Road in Radisson, a small town of only three hundred inhabitants. You will stay at Radisson Research Center, which works with various universities and Hydro-Québec to carry out studies into the ecology of the region. 
 00:02:49,880 
 Because the research center and the road exist as a result of the development of hydroelectricity complexes in northern Quebec, Hydro-Québec is responsible for all emergency assistance and security of all visitors. 
 00:03:05,780 
 Your first few days at the center will be spent attending lectures about their past research. You will hear that they have paid particular attention to any disturbance to the land caused by insects. After that, you will visit the various outpost stations. There are three of them, and when you visit them, you'll be able to observe how data on the varying patterns of the climate is collected and published for scientific research. 
 00:03:40,440 
 The second part of your field trip is back down the James Bay Road to the Trans-Taiga Road, which is the northernmost continuous unpaved road in eastern North America. In fact, it's very uneven gravel, so drivers have to be very careful. Hydro-Québec cautions that driving over rocks on the rough road may cause severe damage to the car. Any breakdown is serious as repairs are costly. 
 00:04:13,920 
 Along the way, you will be stopping at two hydroelectric generating stations, each on a different river. There you will meet with engineers who will explain and demonstrate how rainfall has an impact on producing electric energy. 
 00:04:30,820 
 Your last two days of the trip will be spent camping out in the taiga on the Canadian Shield. Taiga is the Russian term for a type of forest. 
 00:04:42,120 
 You will find the region is relatively poor in the number of plant species, yet there is a great variety of wildlife that can be seen. 
 00:04:52,200 
 You'll go to an area that once had forest fires, and you'll see how the landscape has naturally small rocky hills which confine the lower wetlands. 
 00:05:03,690 
 These low-lying areas are called muskeg, which is made up of slowly decomposing plants. It is not safe to walk on it as it has pools that are not easily seen. So keep to the rocks. 
 00:05:19,040 
 The muskeg is home to many small birds and waterfowl. In fact, there are at least sixty varieties. So keep your waterproof digital cameras handy so you can take plenty of pictures. Then we will have documentation of the existing waterfowl as some are becoming extinct. 
 00:05:40,600 
 Water is a problem in this area, so you'll also be collecting test tubes of water to bring back to our research lab for analysis. It needs to be monitored for pollution that may be caused by rainfall coming from the south. 
 00:05:58,910 
 That is the end of part four. You now have one minute to check your answers to part four.
