主题:俄罗斯东北部海岸的石头迷宫(labyrinths)的用途和目的。 | |
1. 石头迷宫被设计为捕鱼陷阱(trap fish),其复杂的路径使得鱼类进入后无法逃脱,从而为当地居民提供了一种有效的捕鱼方式。 |
1. 有些石头迷宫位于内陆,甚至距离海岸线有数百公里远,这表明它们不太可能与捕鱼活动有关。这一点反驳了阅读材料中关于迷宫作为捕鱼陷阱的观点,说明迷宫的用途可能更为复杂和多样。 |
2. 石头迷宫具有天文用途(astronomical purpose),它们可能被用来作为观测天文现象的工具,类似于用石头建造的房屋,用于记录和研究天体运动。 |
2. 每个石头迷宫都有一个入口(entrance),如果它们真的用于天文观测,那么这些入口应该都朝向相同的方向,以便于观察特定的天文现象。然而,调查显示并非如此,这意味着迷宫的天文用途可能并不像阅读材料中所说的那样明确。 |
3. 这些迷宫在古代人们的埋葬习俗中发挥了重要作用,它们不仅是埋葬和仪式的场所,而且可能与类似巨石阵(Stonehenge)的古代遗址有着相似的文化和宗教意义。 |
3. 通常情况下,如果一个地点与古代的埋葬习俗有关,那么在该地点周围应该会发现人类遗骸或其他相关遗物。但在石头迷宫周围并未发现此类证据,这表明迷宫可能并不直接与埋葬活动相关,或者其文化和宗教意义可能与已知的其他古代遗址有所不同。 |

Doctor Achebe:
This week, we will be discussing space exploration. Some people think that it is a waste of money for governments to fund space exploration. Others disagree with this view arguing that space exploration is a valuable and necessary investment for our future. They think that it is worthy for governments to fund space exploration. I want to know what you think about this topic. Do you think that governments should fund space exploration? Why or why not?
Kelly:
I don't think that governments should fund space exploration because it will be too costly to build spaceships and develop related technologies. Though space exploration tech costs billions, it doesn't offer direct benefits to most people, which makes its funding a controversial issue.
Andrew:
Personally, I do think that all the costs will be worth it. The potential scientific discoveries and technological advancements could have far-reaching impacts that justify the initial investment. Imagine the new inventions that might come from this exploration. Such technology could greatly improve our everyday lives.
范文:
Although space discovery technology requires enormous funding, from my perspective, government-funded space programs have a positive impact on society as they can foster the creation of job opportunities. Obviously, the primary reason is that when the government invests in space exploration, in addition to a wide range of skilled professionals, a large workforce within related sectors is needed, which means that many individuals can be recruited in the space industry. For instance, my country has undergone a dramatic transformation due to government subsidization of a space program; to be more specific, the space mission drives demand for a variety of support services including transportation and infrastructure development, which has led to the reemployment of a large number of workers who lost their jobs due to the permanent shutdown of factories, with many becoming truck drivers and builders. By contrast, if the government chooses not to financially support space exploration, residents will have limited job opportunities within space-related ventures, owing to the fact that the industry may stagnate without government funding. Therefore, I maintain that government-funded space exploration is essential because it leads to the creation of job opportunities.
