Passage 3
听力原文

Passage 1.

篇章1。

Many restaurants are trying to persuade customers to eat more sustainably, moving away from environmentally unfriendly meat towards greener dishes.

许多餐馆试图说服顾客更可持续地饮食,从环境不友好的肉类转向更环保的菜肴。

Although it sounds counterintuitive, restaurants which include specific vegetarian sections on their menus may be unintentionally encouraging customers to eat meat, a new study suggests.

一项新研究表明,尽管这听起来有违直觉,但菜单上设有特定素食区域的餐馆可能无意中鼓励了顾客吃肉。

Behavioral scientist Linda Bacon, one of the study's authors, said, restaurants can have a positive impact on the environment by encouraging their customers to choose more plant-based food and less meat.

该研究作者之一、行为科学家琳达·培根表示,餐馆可以通过鼓励顾客选择更多植物性食物、减少肉类消费来对环境产生积极影响。

However, our findings suggest that while certain restaurant menu designs can encourage some consumers to make pro-environmental food choices, they can have the opposite effect on others.

然而,我们的研究结果表明,尽管某些餐馆菜单设计可以鼓励一些消费者做出环保的食品选择,但对其他人可能产生相反效果。

The study involved 750 people, half of whom frequently ate vegetarian food and half of whom rarely ate it.

该研究涉及750人,其中一半人经常吃素食,另一半人很少吃素食。

No vegetarians were included.

没有包括素食主义者。

They were given different menus and asked to choose a meal as if they were eating out with friends.

他们被给予不同的菜单,并被要求选择一顿餐点,就像他们和朋友外出就餐一样。

Placing vegetarian dishes in a separate section did not have a significant effect on the choices made by infrequent vegetarian food eaters, but it did have a notable effect on the frequent eaters, lowering their chance of picking a vegetarian option by 65%.

将素食菜肴放在单独区域对不常吃素食的人的选择没有显著影响,但对经常吃素食的人有显著影响,将他们选择素食选项的几率降低了65%。

The researchers also discovered that presenting a vegetarian dish as the chef's recommendation or including a more appealing description of a non-meat meal leads to a greater proportion of infrequent vegetarian eaters choosing a vegetarian option.

研究人员还发现,将素食菜肴呈现为厨师推荐或对非肉食餐点添加更吸引人的描述,会导致更高比例的不常吃素食的人选择素食选项。

But again, these altered menu designs backfired with those who ate vegetarian food more frequently, leading them to be less likely to choose a vegetarian dish.

但再次,这些改变的菜单设计对经常吃素食的人产生了适得其反的效果,导致他们更不可能选择素食菜肴。

Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.

问题9至11基于你刚才听到的段落。

Question 9. What does a new study suggest about restaurants including vegetarian sections on their menus?

问题9. 一项新研究对菜单上设有素食区域的餐馆有什么看法?

问题10. 该研究如何对750名参与者进行?

Question 11. How do altered menu designs affect frequent eaters of vegetarian food?

问题11. 改变的菜单设计如何影响经常吃素食的人?

9. What does a new study suggest about restaurants including vegetarian sections on their menus?
A) They may unconsciously help customers choose greener dishes.
B) They may unintentionally encourage customers to eat meat.
C) They raise customers' environmental awareness.
D) They enable customers to eat in a healthy way.
答案 B
解析新研究表明,虽然听起来违反直觉,但在菜单上设置专门的素食区域可能会无意中鼓励顾客吃肉,而非引导他们选择更环保的菜品。
定位句restaurants which include specific vegetarian sections on menus may be unintentionally encouraging customers to eat meat, a new study suggests.
10. How was the study carried out on 750 participants?
A) By inviting them to taste different kinds of food.

定位句The study involved 750 people, half of whom frequently ate vegetarian food and half of whom rarely ate it.
11. How do altered menu designs affect frequent eaters of vegetarian food?
A) They are less likely to choose a vegetarian dish.
B) They find vegetarian dishes become more appealing.
C) They tend to consume larger portions of unhealthy food.
D) They are less likely to choose dishes recommended by chefs.
答案 A
解析研究发现,将素食菜品作为主厨推荐或提供更吸引人的描述等改变菜单设计的方式,对经常吃素食的人反而产生了反效果,使他们更不太可能选择素食菜品。
定位句these altered menu designs backfired with those who ate vegetarian food more frequently, leading them to be less likely to choose a vegetarian dish.

Passage 2.

段落2。

Nottingham Trent University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have been trying to find a way to prevent deadly outdoor air pollution from penetrating indoors.

诺丁汉特伦特大学和中国科学院一直在寻找一种方法,以防止致命的室外空气污染渗入室内。

They found that if pollution is frozen to around minus 18 degrees Celsius in a condensing tube, the particles gather together and fall to the bottom, allowing fresh clean air to pass through.

他们发现,如果将污染在冷凝管中冷冻到约零下18摄氏度,颗粒会聚集在一起并沉到底部,从而让新鲜清洁的空气通过。

Their method was able to remove 99% of pollutants.

他们的方法能够去除99%的污染物。

It is hoped that the work could pave the way for simple modification of air conditioning units so that they can also clean polluted indoor air.

希望这项工作能为空调单元的简单改造铺平道路,使其也能清洁受污染的室内空气。

Outdoor air pollution in cities is a global problem, whether it be haze plaguing Kolkata or poor air impacting the health of children in London schools.

城市中的室外空气污染是一个全球性问题,无论是困扰加尔各答的雾霾,还是影响伦敦学校儿童健康的空气污染。

While there are some existing technologies to purify indoor air, they can be inefficient, expensive or produce harmful byproducts.

虽然有一些现有的技术来净化室内空气,但它们可能效率低下、成本高昂或产生有害副产品。

When outdoor air quality is poor, people tend to spend even more time indoors, but outdoor pollution also leads to indoor pollution and people still suffer.

当室外空气质量差时,人们倾向于花更多时间在室内,但室外污染也会导致室内污染,人们仍然受害。

It is estimated that pollution is linked to over 40,000 early deaths in Britain each year.

据估计,污染每年在英国与超过40,000例早逝有关。

Professor Gong Pan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said, We have shown in our experiments that simply by circulating polluted air through a small freezing chamber, we can remove most of the fine particles and gas pollutants.

中国科学院的龚攀教授说,我们在实验中已经证明,只需将污染空气通过一个小型冷冻室循环,就能去除大部分细颗粒物和气体污染物。

Our study makes it possible to add an air cleaner option to household appliances in areas which might experience extremely poor air conditions.

我们的研究使得在可能经历极端恶劣空气条件的地区,为家用电器添加空气净化选项成为可能。

By controlling indoor air pollution and improving air quality in this way, this work could be greatly beneficial to public health.

录音1。

Research recently carried out by my team suggests that fish may be self-aware.

我的团队最近进行的研究表明,鱼可能具有自我意识。

A certain species of fish recently passed the well-known mirror test.

某种鱼最近通过了著名的镜子测试。

This is a test that demonstrates self-recognition in animals.

这是一个展示动物自我识别能力的测试。

Only a few animals, such as humans, apes, dolphins, and some birds, can recognize themselves in a mirror.

只有少数动物,如人类、猿、海豚和某些鸟类,能在镜子中认出自己。

And only these animals capable of self-recognition will attempt to remove marks placed on their skin after noticing them in the reflection.

只有这些具有自我识别能力的动物,才会在镜中注意到标记后试图去除皮肤上的标记。

This ability suggests a level of higher intelligence and awareness.

这种能力表明了一种更高层次的智力和意识。

This is not shown by children until around 18 months.

儿童直到大约18个月大时才表现出这种能力。

Until now, no fish has demonstrated the ability.

直到现在,没有鱼表现出这种能力。

But our experiments show the fish in question will scrape up against hard surfaces to remove marks placed on its body by our researchers after viewing itself in a mirror.

但我们的实验显示,这种鱼会在看到镜中的自己后,通过刮擦硬表面来去除研究人员放在其身上的标记。

The behaviours we observe leave little doubt that this fish behaviourally fulfils all criteria of the mirror test as originally laid out.

我们观察到的行为几乎没有疑问,这种鱼在行为上完全满足了最初设定的镜子测试的所有标准。

The fish in our study never attempted to remove the marks when no mirror was present, or when the marks were just placed on the mirror.

在我们的研究中,当没有镜子存在时,或者当标记只放在镜子上时,这种鱼从未试图去除标记。

Unmarked fish also did not attempt to remove marks from themselves when interacting with a marked fish on the other side of a window.

没有标记的鱼在与另一侧的有标记鱼互动时,也没有试图去除自己身上的标记。

These results show either that fish are self-aware, or that the mirror test, which is considered to the gold standard test used to denote higher intelligence, may be flawed.

这些结果表明,要么鱼具有自我意识,要么被认为是用于表示更高智力的黄金标准测试的镜子测试可能存在缺陷。

What is less clear is whether these behaviours should be considered as evidence that fish are self-aware, even though in the past these same behaviours have been interpreted as self-awareness in so many other animals.

不太清楚的是,这些行为是否应被视为鱼具有自我意识的证据,尽管过去同样的行为在许多其他动物中被解释为自我意识。

Depending on your position, you might reject the interpretation that these behaviours in a fish satisfy passing the test at all.

根据你的立场,你可能拒绝接受这种解释,即鱼的这些行为完全满足通过测试的条件。

But on what objective basis can you do this when the behaviours they show are so functionally similar to those of other species that have passed the test?

但当它们表现出的行为与通过测试的其他物种的行为在功能上如此相似时,你能基于什么客观依据这样做呢?

Results from our research raise more questions than answers.

我们的研究结果引发的问题比答案更多。

What if self-awareness develops like an onion, building layer upon layer, rather than appearing all at once?

如果自我意识像洋葱一样发展,一层一层地构建,而不是一次性出现,那会怎样?

Perhaps, in order to explore self-awareness further, we should stop looking at responses to the mirror as a decisive test.

也许,为了进一步探索自我意识,我们应该停止将镜子反应视为决定性的测试。

Only with a richer theory of the self and a larger test battery will we be able to determine all of the various levels of self-awareness, including where exactly fish fit in.

只有拥有更丰富的自我理论和更广泛的测试组合,我们才能确定自我意识的所有不同层次,包括鱼究竟处于哪个位置。

Reading with a young child is important, but does it matter whether you read from an electronic book or traditional print?

与幼儿一起阅读很重要,但使用电子书还是传统印刷品阅读是否重要?

As any parent knows, small children are generally keen on screens, so the finding from a new study that very young children enjoy electronic books more than printed picture books may not come as a huge surprise, but the following additional findings might.

正如任何父母所知,幼儿通常喜欢屏幕,因此一项新研究发现幼儿比印刷图画书更喜欢电子书,这可能不会让人感到太惊讶,但接下来的附加发现可能会。

Both parents and children behave differently when reading electronic versus printed picture books, and the children who read the electronic books learned more.

父母和孩子在阅读电子图画书与印刷图画书时行为不同,而且阅读电子书的孩子学到了更多。

Previous studies of young children have suggested that electronic books, which incorporate extra features, such as dictionaries and images that depict story events, may have advantages over print.

先前关于幼儿的研究表明,电子书结合了额外功能,如词典和描绘故事事件的图像,可能比印刷品更具优势。

In fact, multiple studies have found that electronic books support story comprehension and vocabulary gains beyond what is provided by printed books.

事实上,多项研究发现电子书在故事理解和词汇增长方面支持超过印刷书所提供的内容。

But there's also work suggesting that children sometimes invest less mental effort in learning from electronic books, and the parents talk less about content when sharing such books.

但也有研究表明,孩子有时在学习电子书时投入的脑力较少,而且父母在分享这类书时谈论内容较少。

The study we're looking at today aims to give us a better understanding of how good electronic books are for young children.

我们今天关注的研究旨在让我们更好地了解电子书对幼儿有多好。

For this study, researchers videoed children aged 17 to 26 months reading with one of their parents.

在这项研究中,研究人员录制了17至26个月大的孩子与父母之一一起阅读的视频。

Each parent and child pair was randomly assigned to read either two educational electronic books or two printed books with the same content.

每对父母和孩子被随机分配阅读两本教育电子书或两本内容相同的印刷书。

While the parent read the words in the printed books aloud, the electronic books had audio of voice actors reading the text.

当父母大声朗读印刷书中的文字时,电子书配有配音演员朗读文本的音频。

The researchers found that parents who read the printed books pointed more frequently to pages than parents who read the electronic books.

研究人员发现,阅读印刷书的父母比阅读电子书的父母更频繁地指向页面。

But the opposite was true for the children.

但孩子的情况恰恰相反。

Children who read the electronic books also commented more on the content and learned more new words than the children who read printed books.

阅读电子书的孩子也对内容发表了更多评论,并比阅读印刷书的孩子学到了更多新单词。

This greater learning is ascribed to greater engagement with the electronic books.

这种更多的学习归因于对电子书更大的参与度。

It's important to note that the electronic books in the study were simple.

值得注意的是,研究中的电子书很简单。

While they included background music, animation and sound effects, there were no other extra features.

虽然它们包含了背景音乐、动画和音效,但没有其他额外功能。

It's also important to note that there's research on older children finding that electronic books don't always bolster learning.

同样值得注意的是,有研究针对年龄较大的儿童发现电子书并不总是能促进学习。

Parents and educators need to beware.

父母和教育者需要警惕。

Extra features in electronic books may increase children's participation with them.

电子书中的额外功能可能会增加孩子对它们的参与度。

However, if these features don't draw attention to the educational content, they may not serve as a supportive feature.

然而,如果这些功能不吸引注意力到教育内容上,它们可能无法起到支持作用。

Recording 3.

Let me be honest with you.

让我坦诚地告诉你。

If you're living your life full of regrets, you're wasting your time.

如果你的生活充满遗憾,你就是在浪费时间。

Why would you go through life regretting the very decisions that made you who you are today?

为什么要一生都在后悔那些造就了今天的你的决定呢?

There are plenty of unfavorable decisions we've made, but does that mean we should regret them?

我们做过许多不利的决定,但这是否意味着我们应该后悔呢?

No.

不。

I've had many moments where I sit and think about all the things I wish I could have done differently.

我曾有许多时刻,坐着回想所有我希望自己能以不同方式处理的事情。

However, just because things could be different, it doesn't necessarily mean they would be better.

然而,事情本可以不同,并不一定意味着它们会更好。

You don't have to continually be thinking of all your past decisions and whether or not you made the right one.

你不必一直思考所有的过去决定以及自己是否做出了正确选择。

You can't go back and change anything.

你无法回到过去改变任何事情。

So what's the point in worrying about it?

那么担心它又有什么意义呢?

Every single decision you've ever made, positive or negative, has made you the person you are today.

你做出的每一个决定,无论积极还是消极,都造就了今天的你。

We want to go back and change parts of our past, but what would be the benefit of that?

我们想回到过去改变部分过去,但那会有什么好处呢?

We would have lost the valuable knowledge from the lessons we learned.

我们将失去从所学教训中获得的宝贵知识。

There are reasons you make the choices you do, and that tells us about who you are.

你做出选择是有原因的,这告诉我们你是谁。

So when it comes to any decision in life, be unapologetically yourself.

所以,当涉及到生活中的任何决定时,要毫不犹豫地做自己。

Because at the end of the day, it was you who made that decision.

因为归根结底,做决定的是你自己。

With less time spent focused on regrets, you'll finally have time to focus on the more essential things in life.

花更少的时间专注于遗憾,你最终将有时间专注于生活中更重要的事情。

In any situation, you grow more as a person with every decision you make.

在任何情况下,你都会随着每一个决定而成长更多。

Life is full of lessons to learn, so we can't let regret stop us from moving forward.

生活中充满需要学习的教训,所以我们不能让后悔阻止我们前进。

We don't know if we've made the right or wrong choice until after it's already been made.

直到选择做出之后,我们才知道它是否正确。

So it can be easy to start regretting your decision.

所以,开始后悔自己的决定是很容易的。

But if the decision has already been made, what's the purpose of dwelling on it?

但如果决定已经做出,纠结于它又有什么目的呢?

There isn't one.

没有目的。

All you can do is move forward.

你所能做的就是向前看。

You can't let yourself sit there and worry about every past choice.

We aren't all perfect.

Whenever you make a decision, there will always be a possibility for regret later.

每当你做一个决定,之后总有可能后悔。

But that's how life is supposed to be.

但生活本该如此。

You will make poor decisions in life.

你一生中会做出糟糕的决定。

We all do.

我们都会。

But it's what you do with the lessons learned that matters.

但重要的是你如何处理所学的教训。

Think about every decision you've ever made.

想想你曾经做出的每一个决定。

Were they always the best?
