一、Discussion on Research 托福聽力原文：

W: Dr. Marshall?

M: Hello, Gloria. Is it ... uh ... you wanted to talk about your research?

W: Yes. Is this a good time?

M: Sure, sure. How’s it coming along? You’re studying goose populations, right?

W: That’s right. Well, I was anyway. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. I think I want to go in a different direction.

M: Oh...?

W: You see ... it’s like this.  I’ve done a lot of Internet searches, and I’ve, uh, come up with some articles about geese, mostly about problems in urban areas, like city parks. But there was this one story that kind of got me off in a different direction. I found out about this accident that happened in Alaska when some geese got sucked into an airplane.

M: Really? When did that happen?

W: About six years ago. It was a pretty bad accident, too. It was a military jet, and several geese were sucked into two of the engines right after takeoff. The jet crashed, and the whole crew was killed.

M: Birds and planes don’t mix—that’s for sure.

W: For sure. Well, anyway this article got me thinking about birds and plane accidents, so I started ... uh ... researching that, and I found out it’s a pretty serious problem around airports.

M: Hmm. I can see why.

W: It’s a big problem especially if the airport is surrounded by bird habitat, like wheat fields or wetlands. It’s a big problem that I never knew about before.And then I learned about this program that uses biology to solve the problem.

M: Oh? How so?

W: Well, the air force figured out that the right kind of bird can keep the wrong kind of bird away, so they started using peregrine falcons to patrol the runways. This one air force base used to shoot the birds that were always hanging around the runway. Mostly it was geese and ducks, because it’s near a wetland. But now, since they started the falcon program, and since falcons arc predators, there haven’t been any bird- aircraft collisions that required any repairs!

M: That’s amazing! Well, not really, when you consider the peregrine falcon’s reputation as a predator. They can exceed 200 miles per hour in a dive—faster than any other living creature. I imagine just the sight of these birds is enough to discourage any other birds from coming anywhere near the airfield.

W: It’s true. The falcons and their trainers patrol the runways several times a day, during the lulls between takeoffs and landings. And after six months of falcon protection, they found that the cost of the program itself was only seven percent of the amount they’d been spending on bird-airplane damage.

M: So, the benefits of this natural method of bird control are obvious.

W: Right. The falcons get the credit for keeping the geese and the ducks away. It’s an interesting solution to the problem, I mean, adding a predator to change the biology of the runway.

M: Well, I think your research has taken a very meaningful turn. You’re still studying problem geese, but you’ve just found an interesting angle in the way the problem’s being dealt with. Keep going with it.

W: Oh, good. I’m glad you think it’s OK. Thanks, Dr. Marshall. I appreciate your time.

M: All right. Good luck.

二、Discussion on Research 托福聽力中文翻譯：

W： 馬歇爾博士？

M： 你好，格洛麗亞。它是。。。嗯你想談談你的研究？

W： 是的。這是個好時機嗎？

M： 當然，當然。進展如何？你在研究鵝的數(shù)量，對嗎？

W： 沒錯。嗯，反正我是。這就是我想跟你說的。我想我想換個方向。

M： 哦。。。？

W： 你看。。。是這樣的。我在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上做了很多搜索，我還寫了一些關于鵝的文章，主要是關于城市地區(qū)的問題，比如城市公園。但有一個故事讓我從另一個方向出發(fā)。我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一起發(fā)生在阿拉斯加州的事故，當時一些鵝被吸入飛機。

M： 真的嗎？那是什么時候發(fā)生的？

W： 大約六年前。這也是一次非常嚴重的事故。這是一架軍用噴氣式飛機，起飛后幾只鵝被吸入其中兩個發(fā)動機。飛機墜毀，全體機組人員遇難。

M： 鳥和飛機是不會混在一起的，這是肯定的。

W： 當然可以。不管怎樣，這篇文章讓我想到了鳥類和飛機事故，所以我開始。。。嗯通過研究，我發(fā)現(xiàn)機場周圍的問題相當嚴重。

M： 嗯，我知道為什么了。

W： 這是一個大問題，尤其是如果機場周圍有鳥類棲息地，如麥田或濕地。這是一個我以前從未知道的大問題。然后我學習了這個利用生物學來解決問題的程序。

M： 哦？為什么呢

W： 嗯，美國空軍發(fā)現(xiàn)，正確種類的鳥可以趕走錯誤種類的鳥，所以他們開始使用游隼在跑道上巡邏。這是一個空軍基地，用來射殺那些總是在跑道周圍徘徊的鳥。大部分是鵝和鴨，因為它靠近濕地。但是現(xiàn)在，自從他們啟動了獵鷹計劃，而且獵鷹是捕食者，就沒有發(fā)生過任何需要修理的鳥-機碰撞！

M： 太棒了！當你考慮到游隼作為捕食者的名聲時，其實不是這樣。它們的潛水速度可以超過每小時200英里，比任何其他生物都快。我想只要看到這些鳥就足以阻止任何其他鳥類靠近機場。

W： 這是真的。在起飛和降落之間的間歇期，獵鷹和它們的訓練員每天在跑道上巡邏幾次。經(jīng)過六個月的獵鷹保護，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)該項目本身的成本僅為他們用于鳥類飛機損壞的費用的7%。

M： 因此，這種自然的鳥類控制方法的好處是顯而易見的。

W： 對。獵鷹因趕走了鵝和鴨子而受到贊譽。這是一個有趣的問題解決方案，我的意思是，添加一個捕食者來改變跑道的生物學特性。

M： 嗯，我認為你的研究發(fā)生了非常有意義的轉變。你仍然在研究問題鵝，但你剛剛從處理問題的方式中找到了一個有趣的角度。堅持下去。

W： 哦，很好。我很高興你覺得還好。謝謝，馬歇爾博士。謝謝你抽出時間。

M： 好吧。祝你好運
