LOUISE: Is that like the role of chairman? PROFESSOR: Yes, thats it. STUART: Sounds daunting. PROFESSOR: Not at
22、all. Ive already done a great deal of the preparation myself. Let me run through the procedure with you. Ive singled out an issue that will entail quite some conflict of opinion. Ive selected panelists who are well-informed and will probably have contradictory points of view. Thats very important, y
23、ou know. LOUISE: Actually, I feel a bit nervous-how many panelists will there be? PROFESSOR: Well, Ive invited five panelists for each panel because thats probably the maximum number that an inexperienced moderator can handle. But dont worry, I always invite more than we need because you can be sure
24、 someone wont be able to make it-so youll probably just end up with four, which is a very manageable number. STUART: Oh, I see. PROFESSOR: And Ive chosen a moderator thats you, by the way. LOUISE: Ah.but.Stuart will help, right? PROFESSOR: Yes. Ill get onto time-keeping and what-not, shortly. Thats
25、where an assistant is indispensable. STUART: But what procedure do we follow to conduct the panel discussion? PROFESSOR: Dont worry. I was just about to say. Ive also settled on the format. STUART: What is it? PROFESSOR: There are various formats that can be followed but Ive always found this one to
26、 be very effective. STUART: Yes? PROFESSOR: Okay, make some notes on these guidelines as I run through them and ask me questions about anything you dont understand. STUART: Were ready. PROFESSOR: Firstly, the moderator introduces the topic and the panelists. LOUISE: But we dont know who the panelist
27、s are. PROFESSOR: Dont worry Ive prepared a short biographical introduction for each one of them and Ill give you that information tomorrow. LOUISE: Oh, good. PROFESSOR: Next, the panelists are given a set amount of time to present their views on the topic. Id say, about two minutes each should be s
28、ufficient. Now, this is where Stuarts time-keeping is going to be important. You have to keep to the schedule all the way through because the lecture room has only been booked for an hour. STUART: How do I indicate when the time is up? PROFESSOR: You stand off to one side of the panel either with yo
29、ur back to the audience or hidden from the audience but in full view of the panel and moderator. You have a digital clock or timer and you hold up the appropriate number of fingers to give the number of minutes. When the time is up, you make a cutting gesture with your hand. LOUISE: Ah.but.what if t
30、he panelists keep talking? PROFESSOR: Then, thats your job to politely intervene and move on to the next segment which is the discussion itself. Panelists discuss, ask questions and react to the opinions of other panel members. This, of course, is their primary function and should occupy about 60% o
31、f the allotted time. LOUISE: Stuart will watch the time, right? PROFESSOR: Yes, because youll be making brief notes. LOUISE: Why? PROFESSOR: Well, when the times up, the moderator shuts down the debate and provides a summary of the discussion. LOUISE: Oh, and then its over? PROFESSOR: Well, no, the
32、secondary function of the panel is to answer questions from the audience and that should take up the remaining 15 to 20 minutes. Its the leaders role to recognize appropriate questions and reject those not related to the subject. During the question period you must maintain strict control and this w
33、ill most likely be the toughest part of the whole job. LOUISE: Oh, dear. PROFESSOR: Stuart will of course help you here by ensuring that as many people as possible have a chance to ask their questions and that no one member of the audience tries to dominate. With about 5 minutes to go, hell announce
34、 that theres time for only a couple more questions, then announce “last question“. LOUISE: And then its over? PROFESSOR: Not quite. You still have to acknowledge the involvement of the panelists and invite your audience to thank them with a round of applause. STUART: Should I clap too? PROFESSOR: Ye
35、s, you should both take part in the applause. 5 【正确答案】 conflict 6 【正确答案】 moderator/leader 7 【正确答案】 format 8 【正确答案】 biographical 9 【正确答案】 gesture 10 【正确答案】 summary 11 【正确答案】 applause 11 【听力原文】 PERRY: Hi, Opal. Any ideas about what we should do for our geography project? OPAL: Hi, Perry. Yes, Id like
36、to do something on Wetlands. PERRY: I think thats a great idea where do we start? OPAL: With a definition of course something like: a marshy area of land where the soil near the surface is saturated or covered with water, forming a special habitat for wildlife. PERRY: And we could add: the flora and
37、 fauna of the area are reliant on the water-logged soil for their survival. OPAL: Yes, thats a major problem actually when commercial developers or farmers come along and decide to drain the swamps everything dies. The practice is all too common unfortunately. Did you know that, as a result, wetland
38、s are recognized internationally as one of the most threatened types of habitat? PERRY: Thats right. Well have to be sure to discuss their importance in our assignment. OPAL: But, first, I think we should state some of the particular characteristics of wetlands. PERRY: Well, there are three that I c
39、an think of. To start with: wetlands are limited areas of open water, which vary depending on seasonal fluctuations. OPAL: Yes.and the second could be that theres usually a variety of water-tolerant flora on the banks and throughout the water. PERRY: Of course, depending on the time of year, there m
40、ay be more or less water but levels generally remain quite shallow. OPAL: Okay.now lets move on to the importance of wetlands. PERRY: Shall we start with plant and wildlife habitat? OPAL: Yes, I think we should point out that wetlands are homes for countless species of water birds, frogs, invertebra
41、tes and fish. PERRY: .and they support many varieties of water-loving plants. OPAL: which brings us naturally to the topic of biodiversity even small wetlands act as borders between land and permanent water. They turn into refuge areas or sanctuaries in times of drought and they often support rare a
42、nd threatened plants and animals found nowhere else. PERRY: Exactly. And theyre especially important as nurseries and breeding grounds for all kinds of fish, birds and invertebrates. OPAL: Wetlands are important for improving the purity of the water, too. PERRY: Yes, thats because the flow of water through the wetlands is slowed by bank and in-stream plants, and so it allows sediment to settle. Nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorous and other pollutants are removed as the water passes through. 12 【正确答案】 L 13 【正确答案】 N 14 【正确答案】 B 15 【正确答案】 E 16 【正确答案】 D 17 【正确答案】 A
