听力简介：

历史上，地质学家为了岩石的划界分层争得耳根脖子粗，向我们展示斗争才会进步。不过曾几何时大师们对岩石形成具体年份也无能为力，他们告诉我们科学家是人，是造物之神的课堂上勤奋的学生（石头我这抽风的比喻不知是否贴切啊）~~~

书本的朗读语音很charming的磁性英音~~~大家可以好好学着模仿哦~~~！！
因为原著为美国人所写,单词采用美式拼法,不抄全文，也不用写序号。答完一空换行继续下一空作答。文中需听写单词或词组用[-No-]表示，句子用[---No---]表示。请边听写边理解文意，根据下面的TIPS训练听写。这样可以提高听力准确度，并为训练听译打下基础哦~~~

TIPS听写训练点：单词拼写，时态，单复数，连读，长难句（请边听边用符号先记下内容，然后自己回头组织语句，最后校对，不要逐字逐句听写）

Moreover, all this applies only to units of time. Rocks are divided into quite [-1-] units known as systems, series, and stages.

It can all get terribly confusing to nonspecialists, but to a geologist these can be [-3-]. "I have seen grown men glow incandescent with rage over this metaphorical millisecond in life's history," the British paleontologist Richard Fortey has written [-4-] a long-running 20th-century [-5-] over where the [-6-] lies between the Cambrian and Ordovician.

At least today we can bring some [-7-] dating techniques to the table. For most of the 19th century geologists could draw on nothing more than the most hopeful guesswork. [---8---] When Buckland [-9-] the antiquity of an Ichthyosaurus skeleton he could do [-10-] suggest that it had lived somewhere between "10,000, [-11-]" years earlier.
