真题原文全文

 

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is engaged in research into the potential risks and benefits of exploiting deep-sea mineral resources, some of which are essential for low-carbon technology, as well as using ocean robots to estimate the environmental impact of these potential deep-sea mining activities.

The NOC has led an expedition on the RRS James Cook that found enough of the scarce element Tellurium present in the crust of a submerged volcano that, if it were all to be used in the production of solar PV panels, could provide 2/3rds of the UK’s annual electricity supply. In addition, the NOC also led an international study demonstrating deep-sea nodule mining will cause long-lasting damage to deep-sea life, lasting at least for decades.

These nodules are potato-sized rocks containing high levels of metals, including copper, manganese and nickel. They grow very slowly on the sea-bed, over millions of years. Although no commercial operations exist to extract these resources, many are planned.

Professor Edward Hill, Executive Director at the NOC commented, “By 2050 there will be nine billion people on earth and attention is increasingly turning to the ocean, particularly the deep ocean, for food, clean supplies of energy and strategic minerals. The NOC is undertaking research related to many aspects and perspectives involved in exploiting ocean resources. This research is aimed at informing with sound scientific evidence the decisions that will need to be taken in the future, as people increasingly turn to the oceans to address some of society’s greatest challenges.”

中文简介

这篇SWT真题来自PTE官方题库，主题是“深海矿产资源的开发与环境风险”。文章介绍了英国国家海洋中心（NOC）如何研究深海采矿的风险与收益、能源潜力与环境影响，并探讨未来人类利用海洋资源的方向。

主要内容包括

▪NOC研究深海矿产开发的风险与收益；

▪实地考察发现稀有金属碲（Tellurium），可支持英国清洁能源；

▪但采矿会造成深海生态长期破坏；

▪科学研究旨在为未来海洋资源决策提供依据。

题型拆解与技巧教学

 

核心逻辑梳理

 

◆研究内容与目的

▶英文讲解：

▪The NOC conducts research on both the potential benefits and environmental risks of deep-sea mining to support low-carbon technologies and assess its ecological impacts.

▶中文翻译：

▪NOC研究深海采矿的潜在收益与环境风险，旨在支持低碳技术并评估生态影响。

▶技巧： 抓关键词 benefits and risks, low-carbon technology, environmental impact。

◆研究发现与对比

▶英文讲解：

▪An expedition discovered a large amount of Tellurium that could support renewable energy for the UK, but the same mining process would cause severe and long-lasting damage to marine ecosystems.

▶中文翻译：

▪考察发现可为英国清洁能源提供支持的大量碲，但采矿将造成严重且长期的海洋生态破坏。

▶技巧： 识别“对比关系”，用“could… but…”连接。

◆未来展望与科学意义

▶英文讲解：

▪The NOC’s research aims to provide scientific evidence for future decisions on ocean resource use, as humanity increasingly turns to the deep ocean for sustainable energy and minerals.

▶中文翻译：

▪NOC的研究旨在为未来海洋资源利用提供科学依据，因为人类正日益依赖深海寻求可持续能源与矿物。

▶技巧： 注意总结性词汇 aims to provide, future decisions, sustainable resources。

 

解题步骤演示

 

◆Step 1：找主题句

▪主题：深海资源开发的机遇与风险并存。

◆Step 2：列逻辑框架

▪“研究目的 — 研究发现 — 环境问题 — 未来意义”。

◆Step 3：选关键词

▪NOC, deep-sea mining, benefits, risks, Tellurium, energy, ecological damage, scientific evidence。

◆Step 4：用连接词整合成句

▶推荐使用逻辑词：

▪and（并列）

▪but（转折）

▪while（对比）

▪as（原因）

◆Step 5：写出总结句（范例）：

▪The National Oceanography Centre researches the potential benefits and risks of deep-sea mining, discovering valuable elements like Tellurium that could support clean energy, but warns that such activities may cause long-term ecological damage, aiming to provide scientific evidence for future decisions on sustainable ocean resource use.
