一、Discussion on Research 托福聽(tīng)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(tīng)力中文翻譯：

W： 馬歇爾博士？

M： 你好，格洛麗亞。它是。。。嗯你想談?wù)勀愕难芯浚?/p>

W： 是的。這是個(gè)好時(shí)機(jī)嗎？

M： 當(dāng)然，當(dāng)然。進(jìn)展如何？你在研究鵝的數(shù)量，對(duì)嗎？

W： 沒(méi)錯(cuò)。嗯，反正我是。這就是我想跟你說(shuō)的。我想我想換個(gè)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(xiě)了一些關(guān)于鵝的文章，主要是關(guān)于城市地區(qū)的問(wèn)題，比如城市公園。但有一個(gè)故事讓我從另一個(gè)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(dāng)時(shí)一些鵝被吸入飛機(jī)。

M： 真的嗎？那是什么時(shí)候發(fā)生的？

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

M： 鳥(niǎo)和飛機(jī)是不會(huì)混在一起的，這是肯定的。

W： 當(dāng)然可以。不管怎樣，這篇文章讓我想到了鳥(niǎo)類和飛機(jī)事故，所以我開(kāi)始。。。嗯通過(guò)研究，我發(fā)現(xiàn)機(jī)場(chǎng)周圍的問(wèn)題相當(dāng)嚴(yán)重。

M： 嗯，我知道為什么了。

W： 這是一個(gè)大問(wèn)題，尤其是如果機(jī)場(chǎng)周圍有鳥(niǎo)類棲息地，如麥田或濕地。這是一個(gè)我以前從未知道的大問(wèn)題。然后我學(xué)習(xí)了這個(gè)利用生物學(xué)來(lái)解決問(wèn)題的程序。

M： 哦？為什么呢

W： 嗯，美國(guó)空軍發(fā)現(xiàn)，正確種類的鳥(niǎo)可以趕走錯(cuò)誤種類的鳥(niǎo)，所以他們開(kāi)始使用游隼在跑道上巡邏。這是一個(gè)空軍基地，用來(lái)射殺那些總是在跑道周圍徘徊的鳥(niǎo)。大部分是鵝和鴨，因?yàn)樗拷鼭竦?。但是現(xiàn)在，自從他們啟動(dòng)了獵鷹計(jì)劃，而且獵鷹是捕食者，就沒(méi)有發(fā)生過(guò)任何需要修理的鳥(niǎo)-機(jī)碰撞！

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

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

M： 因此，這種自然的鳥(niǎo)類控制方法的好處是顯而易見(jiàn)的。

W： 對(duì)。獵鷹因趕走了鵝和鴨子而受到贊譽(yù)。這是一個(gè)有趣的問(wèn)題解決方案，我的意思是，添加一個(gè)捕食者來(lái)改變跑道的生物學(xué)特性。

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

W： 哦，很好。我很高興你覺(jué)得還好。謝謝，馬歇爾博士。謝謝你抽出時(shí)間。

M： 好吧。祝你好運(yùn)
