Tapescript Host: In 1952, Marie Tharp made a remarkable geological discovery that would transform our understanding of the Earth. Camilla, how did Marie become a geologist? Camilla: Well, Marie was interested in earth science when she was a little girl. But in those days, women rarely had careers in science.

Later she switched to music, but nothing felt right. fresh·man（大学）一年级新生；（中学）九年级学生 major 主修学生；主修生 Host: Then what did she do?

Camilla: She took night classes and earned another bachelor’s degree in math. Then she found a research job at Columbia University. sort of有几分；有那么一点;（想不出恰当的词或不知下面该怎么说时用）可以说，可说是 Host: What was it like being a female researcher back then?

She carefully studied the sonar data on sea depths measured by the research ship Atlantis since 1946. Then she charted the measurements by hand on huge sheets of paper. Eventually, she created six profiles of the North Atlantic floor. chart  /tʃɑːt/绘制（区域）的地图,=map measurement/ˈmɛʒəmənt/ 测量的结果 When Marie taped the profiles together, she noticed a deep long line could be seen on each profile. She talked to her co-worker Bruce about the line,believing that it was evidence for the theory of continental drift, but he disagreed. Bruce asked Marie to redraw everything. She did, and the results were the same. Marie then began sketching a map of the ocean floor. Eight months later, Marie produced a map showing mountains, valleys and a deep line nearly 65,000 kilometers long across the Earth. tape  /teɪp/ 用胶带粘住；用带子系紧;用胶带粘贴 sketch  /sketʃ/ 画素描；画速写 Marie’s 1952 discovery wasn’t widely known until 1956, when her male colleagues published a paper about the discovery, but Marie’s name did not appear at all. She was credited for the first time in 1959 along with her colleagues in a book published by the Geological Society of America. In 1968, her map was recreated for National Geographic magazine, and the world finally took note. In 1997, the Library of Congress in the US named Marie as one of the four greatest map makers of the 20th century. take note (of sth)注意到；将…铭记在心 con·gress /ˈkɒŋɡres/ 国会 About her career, Marie said, “The whole world was spread out before me. I had a blank canvas to fill with extraordinary possibilities ...

Use the example below to help you and pay attention to the expressions in bold. Switch roles after you finish. A: Marie, the discovery you made in 1952 is thought by many to have shaken the foundations of geology. Can you tell me more about how you made the discovery? shake/rock the foundations of 从根本上动摇 B: Well, it didn’t happen overnight. I was going to create the drawings of the ocean floor based on six years’ measurements of sea depths recorded by our research ship Atlantis. After producing six profiles of the North Atlantic floor, I was surprised to find a deep long line on each profile. My co-worker and I disagreed about it, and for fear of making a mistake, I recreated every profile. However, the results were just the same. Finally I managed to make a detailed map of the ocean floor. over·night /ˌəʊvəˈnaɪt/ 突然;一夜之间;旋即;在夜间;在晚上 for fear of (doing) sth/for fear (that)...唯恐,以免(发生危险) A: That was indeed tough work. What do you think contributed to your success? B: I believe I owe my success to a couple of things. First of all, my passion for earth science played an important role. I have been passionate about earth science since childhood, and it was this passion that guided me to geology. It also encouraged me not to give up when I was not able to do the same work as my male co-workers as a researcher. … pas·sion·ate  /ˈpæʃənət/ 热诚的；狂热的 B. Reading and writing Page 60 B1.

He got the group together in the shelter of a large rock. He could see that the other three were frightened and were looking to him for a way out.

Shouting against the wind, he explained that they must rest for a while and hope that the storm would pass. look to sb for sth/to do sth依赖,期待,指望(某人提供某物或做某事) However, as darkness settled over them and rain swept in, the four climbers were all growing colder and weaker by the minute.
