To start your visit Im just going to give you a brief
3、 account of the history of the museum before letting you roam about on your own. I wont keep you long. OK? Now, from where were standing youve got a good view of the river over there. And it was because of this fast-flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water
4、and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood, all made this site suitable for industry from a very early time. Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wheels were
5、 first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here, on the bend in the river. By the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the regions rivers supported more than a hundred and sixty water mills - and many
6、of these continued to operate well into the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centres of industry were able to move away from the rivers and the countryside and into the towns. So, industrial villages like this one became very rare. So that
7、s the history for you. If youd like any more information, you can ask me some questions, or you can read further in our excellent guide book. Now Im going to give you a plan of the site and Id just like to point out where everything is and then you can take a look at everything for yourself. Ive alr
8、eady pointed out the river, which is on the left. And of course, running along the bottom is Woodside Road, got it? OK. Now were standing at the entrance, see it at the bottom, and immediately to our right is the Ticket Office. You wont need that because youve got your group booking, but just past i
9、t are the toilets - always good to know where they are. In front of us is the car park, as you can see, and to the left, by the entry gate is the Gift Shop. Thats where you can get copies of the guide, like this one here. Now, beyond the car park all the buildings are arranged in a half circle with
10、a yard in the middle. The big, stone building at the top is the main Workshop. Thats where the furnace is and where all the metal was smelted and the tools were cast, as youll be able to see. Now, in the top right-hand corner, that building with bigger windows is the Showroom, where samples of all t
11、he tools that were made through the ages are on display. In the top left corner is the Grinding Shop, where the tools were sharpened and finished. And on one side of that you can see the Engine Room and on the other is the Cafe which isnt an antique, youll be pleased to know, though they do serve ve
12、ry nice old-fashioned teas. The row of buildings you can see on the left are the cottages. These were built for the workers towards the end of the eighteenth century and theyre still furnished from that period so you can get a good idea of ordinary peoples living conditions. Across the yard from the
13、m, you can see the stables where the horses were kept for transporting the products. And the separate building in front of them is the Works Office and that still has some of the old accounts on display. Right, if anyone wants a guided tour then Im starting at the Engine Room. If youd like to come a

May I s
15、peak to you for a minute? dr johnson: Sure. Come in. melanie: Im Melanie Griffin. Im taking your course in Population Studies. dr johnson: Right. Well, Melanie, how can I help you? melanie: Im . having a bit of trouble with the second assignment, and its due in twelve days. dr johnson: What sort of
16、trouble are you having? Is the assignment question a problem? melanie: Well, thats part of the problem. Im also having - been having trouble getting hold of the books. Ive been to the library several times, and all the books are out. dr johnson: Sounds like you should have started borrowing books a
17、bit earlier. melanie: Well, I had a really big assignment due in for another course, and Ive been spending all my time on that, and I thought. dr johnson: . You might get an extension of time to finish your assignment for me? melanie: If thats possible, but I dont know . dr johnson: Well, yes, it is
18、 possible, but extensions are normally given only for medical or compassionate reasons, otherwise its really a question of organising your study, and we dont like giving extensions to students who simply didnt plan their work properly. What did you get for your first assignment? melanie: I got eight
19、y-seven per cent. dr johnson: Mmm, yes, you did very well indeed, so obviously you can produce good work. melanie: I dont think Ill need too much extra time, as long as I can get hold of some of the important references. dr johnson: Well, since you did so well in your first assignment, Im prepared t
20、o give you an extra two weeks for this one, so thatll mean youll need to submit it about a month from now. melanie: Thank you. dr johnson: Now, what about the reading materials? Have you checked out the journal articles in the list? melanie: Umm, no, not yet, there were about twenty of them, and I w
21、asnt sure which ones would be most useful or important. dr johnson: Well, theyre all useful, but I dont expect anyone to read them all, because a number of them deal with the same issues. Let me give you some suggestions. The article by Anderson and Hawker is really worth reading. melanie: Right, Il
22、l read that one. dr johnson: You should also read the article by Jackson, but just look at the part on the research methodology - how they did it. melanie: OK . Jackson, got that. dr johnson: And if you have time, the one by Roberts says very relevant things, although its not essential. melanie: So,
23、 OK, if its useful. Ill try and read that one . dr johnson: Now, the one by Morris. I wouldnt bother with that at this stage, if I were you. melanie: OK, I wont bother with Morris. Oh, now, someone told me the article by Cooper is important. dr johnson: Well, yes, in a way, but just look at the last
24、 part, where he discusses the research results. And lastly, theres Forster -I cant think why I included that one. Its not bad and could be of some help, but not that much. dr johnson: Now, lets deal with the assignment question. Whats the problem there? melanie: Its the graph on page two. dr johnson
25、: What seems to be the problem? Its just the bar graph showing reasons why people change where they live. melanie: Well, Ive got a photocopy but the reasons at the bottom are missing. dr johnson: Ah, OK. Look at the first bar on the graph - now that indicates the number of people who move because th
26、ey want more space. melanie: Oh I see . bar one. OK . Now what about the next bar? dr johnson: Bar two is to do with the people living nearby disturbing them, so they chose to move away to somewhere quieter. Now lets look at bar number three . another reason people change their place of living is be
27、cause they want to be closer to the city. melanie: OK. Proximity to the city is an issue . dr johnson: Now . bar number four refers to problems when the owner of the property wont help fix things that go wrong. In other words, the owner is not helpful and so the tenants move out. melanie: OK . Now w
28、hat about bar five? dr johnson: Bar five is about those people who move because they need a bus or train to get them into the city or to go to work. melanie: OK . And bar six? dr johnson: Bar number six is interesting. That reason was given quite a lot people moving because they wanted to be in a mo

I have been asked today to talk to you about the urban landscape. Ther
30、e are two major areas that I will focus on in my talk: how vegetation can have a significant effect on urban climate, and how we can better plan our cities using trees to provide a more comfortable environment for us to live in. Trees can have a significant impact on our cities. They can make a city
31、, as a whole, a bit less windy or a bit more windy, if thats what you want. They can make it a bit cooler if its a hot summer day in an Australian city, or they can make it a bit more humid if its a dry inland city. On the local scale - that is, in particular areas within the city - trees can make t
32、he local area more shady, cooler, more humid and much less windy. In fact trees and planting of various kinds can be used to make city streets actually less dangerous in particular areas. How do trees do all that, you ask? Well, the main difference between a tree and a building is a tree has got an
33、internal mechanism to keep the temperature regulated. It evaporates water through its leaves and that means that the temperature of the leaves is never very far from our own body temperature. The temperature of a building surface on a hot sunny day can easily be twenty degrees more than our temperat
34、ure. Trees, on the other hand, remain cooler than buildings because they sweat. This means that they can humidify the air and cool it - a property which can be exploited to improve the local climate. Trees can also help break the force of winds. The reason that high buildings make it windier at grou
35、nd level is that, as the wind goes higher and higher, it goes faster and faster. When the wind hits the building, it has to go somewhere. Some of it goes over the top and some goes around the sides of the building, forcing those high level winds down to ground level. That doesnt happen when you have
36、 trees. Trees filter the wind and considerably reduce it. preventing those very large strong gusts that you so often find around tall buildings. Another problem in built-up areas is that traffic noise is intensified by tall buildings. By planting a belt of trees at the side of the road, you can make
37、 things a little quieter, but much of the vehicle noise still goes through the trees. Trees can also help reduce the amount of noise in the surroundings, although the effect is not as large as people like to think. Low-frequency noise, in particular, just goes through the trees as though they arent
38、there. Although trees can significantly improve the local climate, they do however take up a lot of space. There are root systems to consider and branches blocking windows and so on. It may therefore be difficult to fit trees into the local landscape. There is not a great deal you can do if you have
39、 what we call a street canyon - a whole set of high-rises enclosed in a narrow street. Trees need water to grow. They also need some sunlight to grow and you need room to put them. If you have the chance of knocking buildings down and replacing them, then suddenly you can start looking at different ways to design the streets and to introduce .(fade out) 31 【正确答案】 cities / environment 32 【正确答案】 windy 33 【正确答案】 humid 34 【正确答案】 shady / shaded 35 【正确答案】 dangerous 36 【正确答案】 leaves 37 【正确答案】 ground 38 【正确答案】 considerably reduce / decrease / filter 39 【正确答案】 low 40 【正确答案】 space / room
