Report on geography field trip

文章大意

导师与名叫Charlotte的学生讨论她关于海岸沙丘地理野外考察的报告初稿，涉及报告模板下载、选址方法（掷骰子随机选点）、考察目标（植被类型与覆盖率变化、土壤结构、物种范围与密度）以及数据收集和字数要求等内容。

题目与答案

1. 21 The tutor tells Charlotte that the report is important it will
   • go into her portfolio
   • help her choose her next study option
   • form the basis of next term`s presentation

   答案：help her choose her next study option

   原文定位：But writing up the report's equally important, because if you can identify an area that's caught your interest, you may decide to choose that as your speciality for next term

   同义替换：「help her choose her next study option」↔「choose that as your speciality for next term」

2. 22 What is the tutor`s first impression of Charlotte`s report?
   • it is under length
   • it doesn`t follow the required format
   • it contains confusing statistical data

   答案：it doesn`t follow the required format

   原文定位：Did you download the template for reports from the website;I didn't know there was one

   同义替换：「doesn’t follow the required format 」↔「didn’t use the template」

3. 23 How did Charlotte`s group choose the exact location to study?
   • they chose a location that had easy access
   • they found an interesting location on a map
   • they chose a location at random

   答案：they chose a location at random

   原文定位：We listed six possible locations, and then we just tossed a dice

   同义替换：「at random」↔「tossed a dice」，「exact」↔「six possible」

4. 24 What was Charlotte`s personal aim for the field trip?
   • to collect information on the range of vegetation
   • to apply good fieldwork techniques
   • to analyze the composition of the soil

   答案：to analyze the composition of the soil

   原文定位：I wanted to look at soil structure

   同义替换：「personal aim」↔「wanted to」，「analyze the composition of the soil」↔「look at soil structure」

5. 25 Why does Charlotte want to include other students` data in her report?
   • to make her findings more valid
   • to vary the type of data collected
   • to test several hypotheses

   答案：to make her findings more valid

   原文定位：by adding theirs, it gives me a bigger sample, and that must make the results more reliable

   同义替换：「make her findings more valid」↔「make the results more reliable」

6. 26 Which measurements did Charlotte find easy to take?
   • the elevation of the land
   • the height of the vegetation
   • the ration of sand to vegetation

   答案：the elevation of the land

   原文定位：It would have been good if we could have found out how to use it at college before we went

   同义替换：「more training needed before trip」↔「how to use it before we went」

7. equipment
   • more training needed before trip
   • reduce complexity
   • repeat on future trips
   • offer a wider range
   • organize additional tasks
   • more details required during trip

   答案：more training needed before trip

   原文定位：It would have been good if we could have found out how to use it at college before we went

   同义替换：「more training needed before trip」↔「how to use it before we went」

8. data collection sheets
   • more training needed before trip
   • reduce complexity
   • repeat on future trips
   • offer a wider range
   • organize additional tasks
   • more details required during trip

   答案：reduce complexity

   原文定位：I wonder if they could be made more user-friendly by cutting down the number of columns

   同义替换：「reduce complexity」↔「cutting down the number of columns」

9. reference material
   • more training needed before trip
   • reduce complexity
   • repeat on future trips
   • offer a wider range
   • organize additional tasks
   • more details required during trip

   答案：more details required during trip

   原文定位：We had problems identifying some vegetation;you didn't get a full picture from the books you were using

   同义替换：「more details required during trip」↔「didn’t get a full picture」，「reference material」↔「books you were using」

10. structures of groups
    • more training needed before trip
    • reduce complexity
    • repeat on future trips
    • offer a wider range
    • organize additional tasks
    • more details required during trip

    答案：repeat on future trips

    原文定位：I think that's a pattern you should stick to

    同义替换：「repeat on future trips」↔「stick to」，「structures of groups」↔「working with people you didn’t know」
