托福TPO/Official 41 Con 1听力原文What does the professor say is the main topic of John Arnold’s research?【新东方在线】

旁白：请听一个学生和生态学教授之间的对话。

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and an ecology professor.

教授：我有些好消息要告诉你。

Professor: I have some good news for you.

报名参加明年夏季学期去野外站的学生之一最终决定放弃了这次机会不参加了。

One of the students who was signed up for the summer term at the field station next year won't be attending after all.

因此如果你还想参加的话，现在还是有名额的。

So if you still want to do it, the space is available.

教授：你还有兴趣明年夏季做一个独立的研究项目，对吧？

Professor: You were also interested in doing an independent research project next summer, right?

学生：是的，是有关于盐沼恢复的。不过那是我之前的想法，那时候我还以为我没有办法去野外站呢。

Student: Yeah, on salt marsh restoration, but that was before, when I thought I wasn't going to get into the field station.

教授：好吧，但是如果你还想做的话，还是可以做的。

Professor: Well, you can still do it if you want.

我看了你独立研究项目的申请书，看上去还是非常有优势的。

I looked over your application for the independent research project, and it looks strong.

而且你去了野外站之后，你就会有更多的资源，所以……

And you'd have even more resources there at the field station, so...

学生：野外站和独立研究项目，但是夏季学期比正常的学期要短几个星期。

Student: The field station and an independent study, but the summer term is a few weeks shorter than a regular term.

教授：好吧，这个你自己决定。

你肯定必须非常努力，但是我相信你可以胜任的。

You'd have to work hard but I think you can do very well.

Garfield教授，在野外站的教授之一……

Professor Garfield, one of the professors over at the field station...

是的，Garfield教授研究盐沼已经很多年了，评估人类活动对盐沼的影响以及盐沼修复的方法。

Professor: Yes, well. Professor Garfield has been doing research on salt marshes for years, assessing human impact and methods of salt marsh restoration.

他非常愿意来协助指导你的项目。

学生：哇哦，这个机会太好了，简直不能错过。

Student: Wow! That's too good an opportunity to pass up.

教授：我之前就觉得你会这么说。

我和Garfield教授交谈的时候，他建议你今年春季去上他来教学的一门特定课程。

When I spoke with Dr. Garfield, he suggested you take a particular course he'll be teaching here in the spring.

课程的名字叫做《有关盐沼管理的高级主题》。

It's called Advanced Topics in Salt Marsh Management.

这一门课程深入探讨盐沼生态，并且着重研究造成盐沼生态系统出现问题的影响因素，以及如何测量和检测影响程度。

The course looks at salt marsh ecology in depth and it also focuses on factors that stress salt marsh systems and how to assess and monitor the level of stress.

学生：这样的背景资料恰好适用于我的盐沼恢复研究。

Student: And that background information will fit right into my project on salt marsh restoration.

教授：哦对了，还有另外一件事。

学生：不太知道，只知道他住在我的宿舍楼里，为什么这么问？

Student: Not really, but he lives in my dorm. Why?

教授：John是另外一个明年夏季要去野外站的生态学学生。

Professor: John's another ecology student who will be the Field Station next summer.

我也批准了他的独立研究项目。

I approved an independent research project for him, too.

Initially, he had the same concern as you.

但是，不管怎么样，他的研究话题和你的挺相似的。

But anyway, his topic will be similar to yours.

他将研究如何安装桥梁和涵洞，以允许潮水在海与盐沼之间的道路下流动

He'll be researching how bridges and culverts that have been installed to allow tidal waters to move underneath roads between the sea and the salt marshes.

通常情况下这些“道路”都很小。

学生：我猜，这就会导致没有足量的潮汐水流进盐沼中，从而无法维持天然植物的生存。

Student: I guess that would result in not enough tidal water flowing into the marshes to maintain the natural vegetation, right?

教授：的确。他会研究如何确定合适的大小。

Professor: Exactly, and he'll be looking at how to determine the right size.

所以我当时想的是，也许他会是你夏季学期室友不错的人选。

So I was thinking he might be a good choice for a summer roommate for you.

What does the professor talk about with the man?

What does Professor Garfield suggest the student do during the spring term?

What do the student and John Arnold have in common? Click on two answers.

What does the professor say is the main topic of John Arnold’s research?

What can be inferred about the student when he says this：

Listen to a conversation between a student and a ecology professorI have some good news for you. One of the students who were signed up for the summer term filed station next year won’t be attending after all. Your name is on the waiting list. So if you still want to do it, the space is available.Oh, that’s terrific.You were also interested in doing the independent research project next summer, right?Yeah. On salt marshes restoration. But that was before, when I thought I wasn’t going to get the field station.Well, you can still do if you want. I looked over you application for the independent research project, and it looks strong. I approved it. And you’d have even more resources there, at the field station. So…The field station is at the end of the independent study. But the summer term is a few weeks shorter than the regular term.Oh, it’s up to you. You’d have to work hard, but I think you can do very well. Professor Garfield, one of the professors over the field station, …Yeah, I heard of him.Yes, well, Professor Garfield has been doing research on salt marshes for years, assessing human impact on methods of salt marshes restoration. He is willing to oversee your project.Vow, that’s too good an opportunity to pass up.I thought you'd say that. When I spoke with Dr. Garfield, he suggested you take a particular course he will be teaching here in the spring. It's called advanced topics on salt marsh management. The course looks at salt marsh ecology in depth, and it also focuses on factors that stress marsh systems and how it assess the level of stress.And that background information would fill right into my project on salt marsh restoration. This is so great.Oh, one more thing. Do you know John Arnold?Not really. But he lives in my dorm. Why?John is another college’s student who will be at the field station next summer. I approved the independent research project for him too. Initially he has the same concern as you. But anyway, his topic will be similar to yours. He will be researching how bridges that have been stored to allow tidal waters to move underneath roads, between the sea and the salt marshes. Well, they are often too small.I guess that’s brought enough tidal water flowing into the marshes to maintain the natural vegetation, right?Exactly. And he will be looking at how it determines the right salts. So I was thinking he might be a good choice for some roommate for you. <img alt="" height="391" src="/upload/image/1516161052224.png" width="519" />
