近期，听力成为了大家7炸8炸路上的拦路虎。通过分析他们平时的复习情况以及考场上的反馈，我们不难发现，大部分的同学在Summarize Spoken Text这个题型上存在着这样或那样的问题，更有些同学对于Summarize Spoken Text这个题型甚至是无比抗拒的。

在平时练习中，很多人都不知道应该如何练习Summarize Spoken Text或者如何利用手头上数量有限的机经原文。因此在真实考试中，在Summarize Spoken Text的答题过程中，当听了整个文章后，因为对这个题型的抗拒以及平时练习的不足，这个部分总是答得不够好，最后影响到听力的部分。

今天我们一篇近期的Summarize Spoken Text高频题来为大家介绍一下Summarize Spoken Text应该怎样准备，怎样答题。

首先，我们必须要为大家强调一点：

有机经固然好，机经是最好的官方练习题，但是机经只能锦上添花，却不能雪中送炭。我们应该通过对机经进行练习来提高我们自身的水平和能力，而不是死记硬背机经中的回忆。

下面，让我们通过听力原文来剖析一下Climate and crops这道Summarize Spoken Text：

Now we spend a lot of time thinking about how climate will affect crops. But crops affect climate themselves and they do this in two ways. First of all, about one-quarter of the land surface is used for growing crops. Another 10-15% are used for pasture. So a substantial amount of the land surface is used in crop and agricultural production. And how we used that land affects our climate? If we were, for example, to deforest a substantial area and replace it with an annual crop such as soy bean. Then we would alter the characteristics of the land surface, alter the way that water and heat flows from the land surface to the atmosphere and back. And ultimately change the regional climate; if there is a large enough change the land surface. So this is an absolutely fascinating topic and one that's really quite difficult to understand because of the complexity. It's difficult because it needs us as crops scientists to work even more closely with our climate scientist, colleagues. And it's difficult because we have to join our model stogether.

译文及信息点：

Now we spend a lot of time thinking about how climate will affect crops. But crops affect climate themselves and they do this in two ways.

现在我们花了很多时间思考气候如何影响作物。但作物本身会影响气候，他们会以两种方式做到这一点。

First of all, about one-quarter of the land surface is used for growing crops. Another 10-15% are used for pasture. So a substantial amount of the land surface is used in crop and agricultural production.

首先，大约四分之一的陆地面积用于种植作物，另外10-15％用于牧场。因此，大量的陆地表面用于农作物和农业生产。

And how we used that land affects our climate. If we were, for example, to deforest a substantial area and replace it with an annual crop such as soy bean.

我们如何利用这片土地影响我们的气候？例如，如果我们砍伐大面积土地并用一年生作物如大豆替代它。

Then we would alter the characteristics of the land surface, alter the way that water and heat flows from the land surface to the atmosphere and back. And ultimately change the regional climate, if there is a large enough change on the land surface. So this is an absolutely fascinating topic and one that's really quite difficult to understand because of the complexity.

然后我们将改变地表的特征，改变水和热从地表流向大气和返回的方式。并最终改变区域气候(如果土地表面有足够大的变化)。所以这是一个绝对引人入胜的话题，而且由于其复杂性，很难理解。

It's difficult because it needs us as crops scientists to work even more closely with our climate scientist, colleagues. And it's difficult because we have to join our models together.

这(理解起来)很困难，因为它需要我们作为农作物科学家与我们的气候科学家，同事们进行更密切的合作。这很困难，因为我们必须将我们的模型加在一起。

重要信息：

1.  Crops affect climate in two ways.

2.  First, a large amount of the land surface is used in crop and agricultural production.

3.  And the way we used the land affects our climate. For example, people deforest an area to plant soy beans, which would change the climate.

4.  This topic is difficult to understand because of the complexity and the joint efforts that required between crops scientists and climate scientist.

参考答案：

Crops affect climate in two ways. Firstly, a large amount of the land surface is used in crop and agricultural production. Secondly, the way we used the land affects our climate. For example, people deforest an area in order to plant soy beans, which would change the climate. This topic is difficult to understand because of the complexity and the joint efforts that required between crops scientists and climate scientists.
