Stone Point in New Zealand

文章大意

两名学生Liz和Scott讨论新西兰历史遗址Stone Point（石角），它是一座死火山锥，邻近港口。毛利人和欧洲移民都曾利用此地避难或发动攻击，毛利人视其为珍宝（taonga），火山土壤和捕鱼条件吸引早期定居，后来先后成为瞭望点和军事堡垒。

题目与答案

1. 21 According to Liz Stone Point played a key role in local history because
   • it was used for defense or attack purposes
   • it was the landing point for the first Maori settlers
   • it was developed as a commercial port

   答案：it was used for defense or attack purposes

   原文定位：I think the tutor allocated us this topic, though, because of Stone Point's significant historical role. It's been used by both Maori and European settlers as a place to shelter from attack or launch an attack for centuries

   同义替换：「key role」↔「significant」，「defense or attack purposes」↔「shelter from attack or launch an attack」

2. 22 Scott and Liz agree that Maori originally chose to inhabit Stone Point because of
   • its rich soil
   • the supply of fish
   • available building materials

   答案：the supply of fish

   原文定位：Well, they would have realized the benefits of the soil after a few good harvests, but initially, the fishing opportunities would have been the attraction

   同义替换：「originally」↔「initially」，「supply of fish」↔「fishing opportunities」

3. 23 Scott and Liz agree that using Maori terminology in their presentation
   • will be of interest to international students
   • is required as a component of their research
   • would be best avoided

   答案：would be best avoided

   原文定位：But we need to keep most Maori terminology out of the presentation. Otherwise, a lot of the international students won't be able to follow us

   同义替换：「would be best avoided」↔「keep most Maori terminology out of」

4. 24 When Scott mentions the engines at Stone Point Liz advises him to
   • focus on the human aspect instead
   • check the accuracy of specific dates
   • explain complex technical language

   答案：focus on the human aspect instead

   原文定位：Sorry, I wouldn't go into the technical side if I were you;I think it's more interesting to look at the impact Stone Point had on the people's lives at the time
