由央视和凤凰卫视联合推出的大型电视行动《走进非洲》一反常规旅行探险节目单线单队的拍摄方式,24名队员历时三个半月,穿越30多个国家,行程近8万公里。这是一次在同一时间、不同地点进行的多角度、大视野的电视拍摄拉力赛,一次前所未有的考验。

     【时事聚焦】 由央视和凤凰卫视联合推出的大型电视行动《走进非洲》一反常规旅行探险节目单线单队的拍摄方式,24名队员历时三个半月,穿越30多个国家,行程近8万公里。这是一次在同一时间、不同地点进行的多角度、大视野的电视拍摄拉力赛,一次前所未有的考验。每年的6~7随着旱季来临和青草逐渐被吃光上百万头的角马从坦桑尼亚的塞伦盖蒂国家公园Serengeti, *较大的野生动物园北上向着肯尼亚的马赛马拉Masai Mara国家自然*护区进发寻找东面印度洋的充足水源和食物11月前再从马赛马拉返回。这是一段3000千米的漫长旅程途中不仅要穿越狮子、豹子埋伏的草原还要跨越布满鳄鱼的马拉河。在途中有数十万角马将死在路上抛尸荒野但也有数十万头小角马在路上出生。这是自然界较伟大的迁徙过程之一。详见以下的原版新闻:

 

Wonderful Kenya wildebeest migration

    One of the many famous events that takes place each year in East Africa is the ‘great migration’, which would make a strong contestant for any wildlife event of the year competition. The ungulates that take part in the migration consist of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle. They make their way around the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater of Tanzania and the Masai Mara of Kenya in an anti-clockwise direction for over 1,000 miles. It is estimated that over 1,400,000 wildebeest make the year long journey which repeats yearly, as well as 200,000 zebras and gazelle. Along the way many of the animals will meet their end, with some being crushed in the crowded stampedes, others drowning in the rivers that they cross and more unlucky ones falling prey to be picked out by hungry predators such as lions or crocodiles.

    In search of pastures new and fresh watering holes, the wildebeest set off on their perilous trip. The exact timing of it can’t be predicted, but we use previous year migration data as a guideline.

    December-March

    During this time the herds stay in the Serengeti plains and the Ngorongoro Conservation area. For six weeks, usually during January and February, masses of pregnant females give birth to as many as 500,000 fresh offspring in total. These young wildebeest then have to begin their never ending life cycle of migration, with the added danger of predators picking them out as an easy meal.

    April-May

    With the rainy season under way, the herds begin to head North-West to settle in the Western area of the Serengeti with the intention to graze on greener pastures.

    June-August

    By June the rainy season is over, marking the stage where the wildebeest begin to mate. The ungulates also begin to move North during this month.

    July is a major month in the migration calendar as it is the time where the herds must cross the Grumeti River. Many of the animals will fall victim to hungry crocodiles whilst crossing the river and some may also drown in the depths of the river.

    As August approaches, the herds continue to head North with the insight of reaching the Masai Mara of Kenya to graze upon fresh grasslands. Before they reach the new grazing plains they seek, they must cross the Mara River which is populated by crocodiles looking for a struggling, tired weakling from the group to prey upon.

    September-November

The animals remain situated in the Mara plains for this period of time until late November comes around. This is when the herds make their way South, and the whole migration process repeats.

 

   【热点话题】    这是一次开拓性的电视直播,是打开电视看*的真正落实;是国家增长实力与电视传播相匹配的实现;是开放观念转换的必然结果;也是满足当下受众心理需要的大举措;显然,这也是显示*电视大台的标志。壮观的场面让我们再次领略了弱肉强食,适者生存的自然法则。朗阁海外考试研究中心分析认为,此话题与雅思考试中animal场景和animal protection联系紧密。

 

    Honey bees in Australia澳大利亚的蜜蜂)

   在剑桥8Test 2 Section 3中,讨论了Honey bees in Australia的话题,我们一起来了解一下相关的内容。

   l   亚洲蜜蜂如何进入澳洲?

    亚洲蜜蜂于2007年经一艘来自巴布亚新几内亚的船只传入澳洲。

   2  亚洲蜜蜂和澳洲蜜蜂有什么差别?

   They look almost the same, but they are infested with mites-microscopic creatures which live on them, and which can seriously damage our home-grown bees, or could even wipe them out.

   它们外形相似,可是亚洲蜜蜂携带一种蜂螨,这种蜂螨对欧洲蜜蜂危害很大,甚至会威胁澳洲本土蜜蜂的生存。

   3   亚洲蜜蜂有什么危害?

   危害当地植物的生存,带来难以预估的经济损失,很多人对亚洲蜜蜂过敏。

   It can produce an allergic reaction in some people, so they are much more dangerous than native bees.
