剑桥雅思9听力原文+答案解析Test4Section3

剑桥雅思9听力原文+答案解析Test4Section3真题下载,请点击:剑桥雅思9听力解析:听前预测21 -22题是典型的单选题。

考生需要在录音前先找出题干的定位词,并浏览完所有的选项。

23-25题属于句子填空题。

注意题目的要求是ONE WORD ONLY。

通过快速浏览三个句子,考生很容易凭借语法知识判断出这三个空格处分别需要填写动词原形、形容词和动词原形。

此外,考生还需要快速找出三个句子的定位词。

26-30题属于经典的简答题。

考生需要先划出每一道题的疑问副词或疑问代词(what)推测出答案的大致表述方式,再找出每道题的定位词去录音原文中准确捕捉答案信息。

剑桥雅思9听力答案解析:21. A 该题难度较大,因为对话开始后便出现It must be twelve months since you did our course提示考生查看选项。

在下一个提问之后,Kira说I went straight into third year Pharmacy, They credited me with two years。

此信息很容易误导考生选B。

再后来的I’d already finished a course in it in my country.正对应题干中的信息和选项A。

22. C 在21题后,录音中出现了大量与题干没有直接关联的干扰信息。

但是只要考生跟听到题干中的assignment,并且同时注意三个选项的核心词,就可以定位该题。

因为录音说I’ve found it very difficult to write assignments …,然后又出现一段干扰信息,在定位到People expect you to have problems with the process of reading and writing …这句话时,说明己经读到了选项,同时排除A和B,因为两个选项在并列关系出现时不能同时入选,所以排除。

C中的the best在录音中没有涉及。

22. C 考生听到Hiroko在描述其他学生的演讲时用到了They didn't worry about their presentation style or keeping eye contact with their audience, keeping eye contact with their audience对应选项C中的look at the audience enough,由此可知答案为C(他们没有与观众进行足够多的眼神交流)。

23. B 录音中的when I had finished对应题干中的after she gave her presentation,考生听到when I had finished之后紧接着会听到Hiroko说I didn't feel any real sense of satisfaction,didn't feel any real sense of satisfaction对应选项B中的dissatisfied,由此可知答案为B。

雅思真题全解析听前预测1-5题为个人信息填写,通过左边五行与之相对应的项目,我们得知分别要填写姓名(对于复杂的姓名,录音中会做拼写)、出生日期(注意听取关于月份和年代的信息)、课程名称、住宿的时间长度和饮食要求。

卷面上我们可以看到red 的提示,如果考生经验丰富的话,应该能够预测到第五题的答案可能是meat ,因为印度人的饮食习惯是不吃红肉的。

6-10题考的是学生对住宿的要求,其中涉及房屋的类型、兴趣爱好、对室友的要求、地理位置和社交的场地。

?名师解读剑9听力1. ??Bhatt ?在问到can I take your name 的时候,考生就需要做好书写的准备,根据考试常规来讲,复杂的名字后必然会给出相应的拼写,所以后面的Could you spell your name please ?这句话之后,就要奋笔疾书跟上节奏了:B-H-A-double T 。

2.? ?31 March ?这类出生日期的填写一般没有太多障碍,考生一定要能够对月份熟练拼写,录音中听到了1972的年份,由于题目对字数的要求是one word and/or a number ,所以要选择填写更重要的信息,即31st March.3. ??nursing ?看到题目Course of study ,考生应该能够预测出可能会听到what course do you study 或者what course are you enrolled in 这类提问,原文中问到的是what will you be studying ,回答说I'm doing a course in nursing ,答案为nursing 。

4.? ?2?在问到how long would you want to stay in hall 后,考生最先听到的数字是3 years ,但是后面又接了一个词but ,这类转折词对于定位答案至关重要,暗示之前听到的数字是无效答案,but 后面听到的I'd only like to stay in hall for two 中的two 才是真正的答案。

Born Maria Sklodowska in Poland in 1867, she is famous for her work on radioactivity, and was twice a winner of the Nobel Prize. With her husband, Pierre Curie, and Henri Becquerel, she was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics, and was then sole winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.From childhood, Marie was remarkable for her prodigious memory, and at the age of 16 won a gold medal on completion of her secondary education. Because her father lost his savings through bad investment, she then had to take work as a teacher. Form her earnings she was able to finance her sister Bronia’s medical studies in Paris, on the understanding that Bronia would, in turn, later help her to get an education.In 1891 this promise was fulfilled and Marie went to Paris and began to study at the Sorbonne (the University of Paris). She often worked far into the night and lived on little more than bread and butter and tea. She came first in the examination in the physical sciences in 1893, and in 1894 was placed second in the examination in mathematical sciences. It was not until the spring of that year that she was introduced to Pierre Curie.Their ,marriage in 1895 marked the start of a partnership that was soon to achieve results of world significance. Following Henri Becquerel’s discovery in 1896 of a new phenomenon, which Marie later called ‘radioactivity’, Marie Curie decided to find out if the radioactivity discovered in uranium was to be found in other elements. She discovered that this was true for thorium.Turing her attention to minerals, she found her interest drawn to pitchblende, a mineral whose radioactivity, superior to that of pure uranium, could be explained only by the presence in the ore of small quantities of an unknown substance of very high activity. Pierre Curie joined her in the work that she had undertaken to resolve this problem, and that led to the discovery of the new elements, polonium and radium. While Pierre Curie devoted himself chiefly to the physical study of the new radiations, Marie Curie struggled to obtain pure radium in the metallic state. This was achieved with the help of the chemist Andre-Louis Debierne, one of Pier re Curie’s pupils. Based on the results of this research, Marie Curie received her Doctorate of Science, and in 1903 Marie and Pierre shared with Becquerel the Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery of radioactivity.The births of Marie’s two daughters, lrène and Eve, in 1897 and 1904 failed to interrupt her scientific work. She was appointed lecturer in physics at the Ecole Normale Supérieure for girls in Sèvres, France (1900), and introduced a method of teaching basedon experimental demonstrations. In December 1904 she was appointed chief assistant in the laboratory directed by Pierre Curie.The sudden death of her husband in 1906 was a bitter blow to Marie Curie, but was also a turning point in her career: henceforth she was to devote all her energy to completing alone the scientific work that they had undertaken. On May 13, 1906, she was appointed to the professorship that had been left vacant on her husband’s death, becoming the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne. In 1911 she was awarded the Noble Prize for Chemistry for the isolation of a pure form of radium.During World War I, Marie Curie, with the help of her daughter Irène, devoted herself to the development of the use of X-radiography, including the mobile units which came to be known as ‘Little Curies’, used for the treatment of wounded soldiers. In 1918 the Radium Institute, whose staff Irène had joined, began to operate in earnest, and became a centre for nuclear physics and chemistry. Marie Curie, now at the highest point of her fame and, from 1922, a member of the Academy of Medicine, researched the chemistry of radioactive substances and their medical applications.In 1921, accompanied by her two daughters, Marie Curie made a triumphant journey to the United States to raise funds for research on radium. Women there presented her with a gram of radium for her campaign. Marie also gave lectures in Belgium, Brazil, Spain and Czechoslovakia and, in addition, had the satisfaction of seeing the development of the Curie Foundation in Paris, and the inauguration in 1932 in Warsaw of the Radium Institute, where her sister Bronia became director.One of Marie Cure’s outstanding achievements was to have understood the need to accumulate intense radioactive sources, not only to treat illness but also to maintain an abundant supply for research. The existence in Paris at the Radium Institute of a stock of 1.5 grams of radium made a decisive contribution to the success of the experiments undertaken in the years around 1930. This work prepared the way for the discovery of the neutron by Sir James Chadwick and , above all, for the discovery in 1934 by lrène andFrédéric Joliot-Curie of artificial radioactivity. A few months after this discovery, Marie Curie died as a result of leukaemia caused by exposure to radiation. She had often carried test tubes containing radioactive isotopes in her pocket, remarking on the pretty blue-green light they gave off.Her contribution to physics had been immense, not only in her own work, the importance of which had been demonstrated by her two Nobel Prizes, but because of her influence on subsequent generations of nuclear physicists and chemists.Questions 1—6Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1? In boxes 1—6 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this1 Marie Curie’s husband was a joint winner of both Marie’s Nobel Prizes.2 Marie became interested in science when she was a child.3 Marie was able to attend the Sorbonne because of her sister’s financial contribution.4 Marie stopped doing research for several years when her children were born.5 Marie took over the teaching position her husband had held.6Marie’s sister Bronia studied the med ical uses of radioactivity.Questions 7—13Complete the notes below.Choose ONE WORD from the passage for each answer.You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14—26 which and based on Reading Passage 2 below.Young children’s sense of identityA. A sense of self develops in young children by degrees. The process can usefully bethought of in terms of the gradual emergence of two somewhat separate features: the self as a subject, and the self as an object. William James introduced the distinction in 1892, and contemporaries of his, such as Charles Cooley, added to the developingdebate. Ever since then psychologists have continued building on the theory.B.According to James, a child’s first step on the road to self-understanding can be seen asthe recognition that he or she exists. This is an aspect of the self that he labeled ‘self-as-subject’, and he gave it various elements. These included an awareness of one’s own agency (i.3. one’s power to act), and an awareness of one’s distinctiveness from other people. These features gradually emerge as infants explore their world and interact with caregivers. Cooley (1903) suggested that a sense of the self-as-subject wasprimarily concerned with being able to exercise power. He proposed that the earliest examples of this are an infant’s attempts to control physical objects, such as toys or his or her own limbs. This Is followed by attempts to affect the behaviour of other people.For example, infants learn that when they cry or smile someone responds to them. C.Another powerful source of information for infants about the effects they can have onthe world around them is provided when others mimic them. Many parents spend malot of time, particularly in the early months, copying their infant’s vocalizations andexpressions. In addition, young children enjoy looking in mirrors, where themovements they can see are dependent upon their own movements. This is not to say that infants recognize the reflection as their own image (a later development).However, Lewis and Brooks-Gunn (1979) suggest that infants’ developingunderstanding that the movements they see in the mirror are contingent on their own, leads to a growing awareness that they are distinct form other people. This is because they, and only they, can change the reflection in the mirror.D.This understanding that children gain of themselves as active agent continues todevelop in their attempts to co-operate with others in play. Dunn (1988) points out that it is in such day-to –day relationships and interactions that the child’sunderstanding of his-or herself emerges. Empirical investigations of the self-as-subject in young children are, however, rather scarce because of difficulties of communication: even if young infants can reflect on their experience, they certainly cannot express this aspect of the self directly.E.Once children have acquired a certain level of self-awareness, they begin to placethemselves in whole series of categories, which together play such an important part in defining them uniquely as ‘themselves’. This second step in the development of a full sense of self is what James called the ‘self-as-object’. This has been seen by many to be the aspect of the self which is most influenced by social elements, since it is made up of social roles (such as student, brother, colleague) and characteristics which derive their meaning from comparison or interaction with other people (such as trustworthiness, shyness, sporting ability).F.Cooley and other researchers suggested a close connection between a person’s ownunderstanding of their identity and other people’s understanding of it. Cooley believed that people build up their sense of identity form the reactions of others to them, and form the view they believe others have of them. He called the self-as-object the‘looking-glass self’, since people come to see themselves as they are reflected in others.Mead (1934) went even further and saw the self and the social world as inextricably bound together: ‘The self is essentially a social structure, and it arises in socialexperience… it is impossible to conceive of a self arising outside of social experience.’G.Lewis and Brooks-Gunn argued that an important developmental milestone is reachedwhen children become able to recognize themselves visually without the support of seeing contingent movement. This recognition occurs around their second birthday. In one experiment, Lewis and Brooks-Gunn (1979) dabbed some red powder on the noses of children who were playing in front of a mirror, and then observed how often they touched their noses. The psychologists reasoned that if the children knew what they usually looked like, they would be surprised by the unusual red mark and would starttouching it. On the other hand, they found that children of 15 to 18 months aregenerally not able to recognize themselves unless other cues such as movement are present.H.Finally, perhaps the most graphic expressions of self-awareness in general can be seenin the displays of rage which are most common from 18 months to 3yearss of age. In a longitudinal study of groups of three or four children, Bronson (1975) found that the intensity of the frustration and anger in their disagreements increased sharply between the ages of 1 and 2 years. Often, the children’s disagreements involved a struggle overa toy that none of them had played with before or after the tug-of-war: the childrenseemed to be disputing ownership rather than wanting to play with it. Although it may be less marked in other societies, the link between the sense of ‘self’and of‘ownership’is a notable feature of childhood in Western societies.Questions 14—19Reading Passage 2 has eight paragraphs, A—H.Which paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter, A—H, in boxes 14—19 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any letter more than once.14 an account of the method used by researchers in a particular study15 the role of imitation in developing a sense of identity16 the age at which children can usually identify a static image of themselves17a reason for the limitations of scientific research into ‘self-as-subject’18 reference to a possible link between culture and a particular form of behaviour19 examples of the wide range of features that contribute t o the sense of ‘self-as-object’Questions 20—23Look at the following findings (Questions 20—23) and the list of researchers below.Match each finding with the correct researcher or researchers, A—E.Write the correct letter, A—E, in boxes 20—23 on your answer sheet.20 A sense of identity can never be formed without relationships with other people.21A child’s awareness of self is related to a sense of mastery over things and people.22 At a certain a ge, children’s sense of identity leads to aggressive behaviour.23Questions 24—26Complete the summary below.Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 24—26 on your answers sheet.How children acquire a sense of identityFirst, children come to realize that they can have an effect on the world around them,For example by handling objects, or causing the image to move when they face a 24 ______. This aspect of self-awareness is difficult to research directly, because of 25______ problems. Secondly, children start to become aware of how they are viewed by others. One important stage in this process is the visual recognition of themselves which usually occurs when they reach the age of two. In Western societies at least, the development of self awareness is often linked to a sense of 26 ______, and can lead to disputes.READING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27—40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 on the following pages.Questions 27—30Reading Passage 3 has six paragraphs, A—F.Choose the correct heading for paragraph B—E from the list of headings below.27Paragraph B28Paragraph C29Paragraph D30Paragraph EThe Development ofMuseumsA.The conviction that historical relics provide infallible testimony about the past is rootedin the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when science was regarded asobjective and value free. As one writer observes: ‘Although it is now evident thatartefacts are as easily altered as chronicles, public faith in their veracity endures: atangible relic seems ipso facto real’. Such conviction was, until recently, reflected in museum displays. Museums used to look—and some still do—much like storage rooms of objects packed together in showcases: good for scholars who wanted to study the subtle differences in design, but not for the ordinary visitor, to whom it all looked alike.Similarly, the information accompanying the objects often made little sense to the lay visitor. The content and format of explanations dated back to a time when the museum was the exclusive domain of the scientific researcher.B.Recently, however, attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented haveal tered. The key word in heritage display is now ‘experience’, the more exciting thebetter and, if possible, involving all the senses. Good examples of this approach in the UK are the Jorvik Centre in York; the National Museum of Photography, Film andTelevision in Bradford; and the Imperial War Museum in London. In the US the trend emerged much earlier: Williamsburg has been a prototype for many heritagedevelopments in other parts of the world. No one can predict where the process will end. On so-called heritage sites the re-enactment of historical events is increasingly popular, and computers will soon provide virtual reality experiences, which will present visitors with a vivid image of the period of their choice, in which they themselves can act as if part of the historical environment. Such developments have been criticized as an intolerable vulgarization, but the success of many historical theme parks and similar locations suggests that the majority of the public does not share this opinion.C.In a related development, the sharp distinction between museum and heritage sites onthe one hand, and theme parks on the other, is gradually evaporating. They already borrow ideas and concepts from one another. For example, museums have adopted story lines for exhib itions, sites have accepted ‘theming’ as a relevant tool, and theme parks are moving towards more authenticity and research-based presentations. In zoos, animals are no longer kept in cages, but in great spaces, either in the open air or inenormous greenh ouses, such as the jungle and desert environments in Burgers’ Zoo in Holland. This particular trend is regarded as one of the major developments in thepresentation of natural history in the twentieth century.D.Theme parks are undergoing other changes, too, as they try to present more serioussocial and cultural issues, and move away from fantasy. This development is a response to market forces and, although museums and heritage sites have a special, ratherdistinct, role to fulfil, they are also operating in a very competitive environment, where visitors make choices on how and where to spend their free time. Heritage andmuseum experts do not have to invent stories and recreate historical environments to attract their visitors: their assets are already in place. However, exhibits must be bothbased on artefacts and facts as we know them, and attractively presented. Those who are professionally engaged in the art of interpreting history are thus in difficult position, as they must steer a narrow course betwee n the demands of ‘evidence’ and‘attractiveness’, especially given the increasing need in the heritage industry forincome-generating activities.E.It could be claimed that in order to make everything in heritage more ‘real’, historicalaccuracy must be increasingly altered. For example, Pithecanthropus erectus isdepicted in an Indonesian museum with Malay facial features, because thiscorresponds to public perceptions. Similarly, in the Museum of Natural History inWashington, Neanderthal man is shown making a dominant gesture to his wife. Such presentations tell us more about contemporary perceptions of the world than about our ancestors. There is one compensation, however, for the professionals who make these interpretations: if they did not provide the interpretation, visitors would do it for themselves, based on their own ideas, misconceptions and prejudices. And no matter how exciting the reciting the result, it would contain a lot more bias than thepresentations provided by experts.F.Human bias is inevitable, but another source of bias in the representation of historyhas to do with the transitory nature of the materials themselves. The simple fact is that not everything from history survives the historical process. Castles, palaces andcathedrals have a longer lifespan than the dwellings of ordinary people. The sameapplies to the furnishing and other contents of the premises. In a town like Leyden in Holland, which in the seventeenth century was occupied by approximately the same number of inhabitants as today, people lived within the walled town, an area morethan five times smaller than modern Leyden. In most of the houses several familieslived together in circumstances beyond our imagination. Yet in museums, fine period rooms give only an image of the lifestyle of the upper class of that era. No wonder that people who stroll around exhibitions are filled with nostalgia; the evidence in museums indicates that life was so much better in past. This notion is induced by the bias in its representation in museums and heritage centres.Questions 31—36Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.Write the correct letter in boxes 31—36 on your answer sheet.31 Compared with today’s museums, those of the past.A did not present history in a detailed way.B were not primarily intended for the public.C were more clearly organized.D preserved items with greater care.32 According to the writer, current trends in the heritage industryA emphasise personal involvement.B have their origins in Your and London.C rely on computer images.D reflect minority tastes.33 The writer says that museums, heritage sites and theme parksA often work in close partnership.B try to preserve separate identities.C have similar exhibits.D are less easy to distinguish than before.34The writer says that in preparing exhibits for museums, expertsA should pursue a single objective.B have to do a certain amount of language translation.C should be free from commercial constraints.D have to balance conflicting priorities.35In paragraph E, the writer suggests that some museum exhibitsA fail to match visitor expectations.B are based on the false assumptions of professionals.C reveal more about present beliefs than about the past.D allow visitors to make more use of their imagination.36 The passage ends by noting that our view of history is biased becauseA we fail to use our imagination.B only very durable objects remain from the past.C we tend to ignore things that displease us.D museum exhibits focus too much on the local area.Questions 37—40Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 3? In boxes 37—40 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this37 Consumers prefer theme parks which avoid serious issues.38 More people visit museums than theme parks.39 The boundaries of Leyden have changed little since the seventeenth century.40 Museums can give a false impression of how life used to be.WRITINGWRITING TASK 1You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.Write at least 150 words.U.S. Energy Consumption by Fuel (1980—2030)WRITING TASK 2 You should spend abo9ut 40 minutes on this task.Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 words.SPEAKINGPART 1The examiner asks the candidate about him/herself, his/her home, work or studies and other familiar topics.EXAMPLEBicycles● How popular are bicycles in your home town?

Thanks very much.WOMAN: Look forward to seeing you ...SECTION 2ANDREW: NOW we go to Jane who is going to tell us about what's happening in townthis weekend.JANE: Right, thanks Andrew, and now on to what's new, and do we really needyet another sports shop in Bradcaster? Well, most of you probably knowSports World - the branch of a Danish sports goods company that opened Q11a few years ago - it's attracted a lot of custom, and so the company hasnow decided to open another branch in the area. It's going to be in theshopping centre to the west of Bradcaster, so that will be good news for Q12all of you who've found the original shop in the north of the town hard toget to.I was invited to a special preview and I can promise you, this is theultimate in sports retailing. The whole place has been given a newminimalist look with the company's signature colours of black and red.The first three floors have a huge range of sports clothing as well as Q13 equipment, and on the top floor there's a cafe and a book and DVDsection. You'll find all the well-known names as well as some less well-known ones. If they haven't got exactly what you want in stock theypromise to get it for you in ten days. Unlike the other store, where it Q14 can take up to fourteen days. They cover all the major sports, includingfootball, tennis and swimming, but they particularly focus on running, Q15 and they claim to have the widest range of equipment in the country. Aswell as that, a whole section of the third floor is devoted to sports bags, Q16 including the latest designs from the States - if you can't find what youwant here, it doesn't exist!The shop will be open from 9.00 am this Saturday and if you go along tothe opening then you'll have the chance to meet the national 400 metresrunning champion Paul King, who's coming along to open the shop, andhe will be staying around until about midday to chat to any fans who want Q17to meet him and sign autographs.Then there will be a whole range of special attractions all weekend. Therewill be free tickets for local sporting events for the first 50 customers, andalso a special competition open to all. Just answer fifteen out of twentysports questions correctly to win a signed copy of Paul King's DVD 'SpringTips', while the first person to get all the questions correct gets a year's Q18free membership of the Bradcaster Gym. All entrants will receive a specialSports calendar with details of all Bradcaster fixtures in the coming year.One of the special opening offers is a fitness test - a complete reviewof your cardiac fitness and muscle tone, actually done in the shop byqualified staff. This would normally cost £30.00 but is available at half Q19 & 20 price for this month only. There are only a limited number of placesavailable for this, so to make a booking phone 560341. In addition, if youopen an account you get lots more special offers including the chance totry out equipment at special open evenings ...SECTION 3TEACHER: Before we start, Spiros and Hiroko, thanks for coming in today to talkabout your recent study experiences and congratulations to you both indoing so well in your first semester exams! I'd like to discuss with youthe value of the English for Academic Purposes course you did here lastyear before starting your university course. Spiros, if I could start with you,what parts of the programme have now proved to be particularly valuableto you?SPIROS: I think that having to do a seminar presentation really helped me. For example, a couple of weeks ago in our marketing subject, when it wasmy turn to give a presentation I felt quite confident. Of course, I was stillnervous but because I had done one before, I knew what to expect. Also,I know I was well-prepared and I had practised my timing. In fact, I thinkthat in relation to some of the other people in my group, I did quite a goodjob because my overall style was quite professional. What about you, Q21 Hiroko?HIROKO: Mmm, that's interesting. In my group, I was really surprised by the waythe students did their presentations - they just read their notes aloud!Can you believe that? They didn't worry about their presentation style Q22or keeping eye contact with their audience - and I remember that thesethings were really stressed to us in the course here.TEACHER: So, how did you approach your presentation, Hiroko?HIROKO: Well, to speak frankly, I read my notes too! At the time, it was a relief to doit this way, but actually when I had finished, I didn't feel any real sense of Q23 satisfaction. I didn't feel positive about the experience at all.SPIROS: That's a pity. You know, although I was pleased with my presentation,I am not so pleased with my actual performance right now in the Q24 tutorials - during the whole semester I've not said anything in our tutorialdiscussions. Not a word.HIROKO: Really, Spiros? Why's that? Do the other students talk too much?SPIROS: It's partly that, but it's mostly because I have had no confidence to speakout. Their style of speaking is so different - it's not the style we were usedto during the course. They use so many colloquialisms, they're not verypolite and sometimes there seems to be no order in their discussion. Also,they are very familiar with each other, so because they know each other's Q25 habits, they can let each other into the discussion.HIROKO: You're right, Spiros, I've experienced that too.HIROKO: For most of this semester, I've said absolutely nothing in tutorials. But recently, I've been trying to speak up more and I just jump in, and I've Q26 noticed an interesting thing, I've noticed that if they thought my point wasinteresting or new, then the next time they actually asked for my opinion,and then it was much easier for me to be part of the discussion.SPIROS: That's great, Hiroko! I hope that happens for me next semester - I'll haveto work hard to find some interesting points. What helped you to findthese ideas?HIROKO: I think that one thing that helped me with this was the reading. I've hadto do so much reading this semester just to help me make sense of thelectures. At first I couldn't understand what the lecturers were talkingabout, so I had to turn to the books and journals. Every night I read for Q27hours, using the lists of references that were given, and I made pages ofnotes. At breakfast, I read and read my notes again. This habit has helpedme to follow the ideas in the lectures, and it's also given me some ideas touse in the tutorials.SPIROS: But I did so much reading anyway - I don't think there's any time left overfor anything extra. My reading speed is still quite slow, though I'm much Q28better at dealing with vocabulary than I used to be.TEACHER: What else do you think we could add to the course program to help withthis reading problem?SPIROS: There's not really anything because it's my problem. I remember wewere given long articles to read. We didn't like that but now I realise thatreading those long articles was good preparation for the things I need toread now. Also, in class we regularly had speed-reading tasks to do, andwe kept a record of our reading speed, so the teachers were encouragingus to work on that.HIROKO: That's true Spiros, but what we read could have been different.Sometimes in the English class I felt frustrated when I had to readarticles about the environment or health or education, because I wanted Q29to concentrate on my own field but we didn't read anything aboutengineering. So, I think I wasted some time learning vocabulary I didn'tneed.TEACHER: But surely the strategies you were taught for dealing with that vocabularywere helpful.HIROKO: Yes, but psychologically speaking, I would have felt much better working Q30 on reading from my own field. What do you think Spiros?SPIROS: I agree; that would have helped my confidence too and I would have beenmore motivated. It was good though that we could work on our own topicswhen we wrote the research assignments.TEACHER: Okay, let's move on to writing now ...SECTION 4Good afternoon everyone. Well, with some of you about to go out on field work it's timelythat in this afternoon's session I'll be sharing some ideas about the reasons why groups ofwhales and dolphins sometimes swim ashore from the sea right onto the beach and, mostoften, die in what are known as 'mass strandings'.Unfortunately, this type of event is a frequent occurrence in some of the locations thatyou'll be travelling to, where sometimes the tide goes out suddenly, confusing the animals. Q31 However, there are many other theories about the causes of mass strandings.The first is that the behaviour is linked to parasites. It's often found that stranded animalswere infested with large numbers of parasites. For instance, a type of worm is commonlyfound in the ears of dead whales. Since marine animals rely heavily on their hearing toQ32navigate, this type of infestation has the potential to be very harmful.Another theory is related to toxins, or poisons. These have also been found to contributeto the death of many marine animals. Many toxins, as I'm sure you're aware, originateQ33from plants, or animals. The whale ingests these toxins in its normal feeding behaviour butwhether these poisons directly or indirectly lead to stranding and death, seems to dependupon the toxin involved.In 1988, for example, fourteen humpback whales examined after stranding along thebeaches of Cape Cod were found to have been poisoned after eating tuna that containedsaxitoxin, the same toxin that can be fatal in humans.Alternatively, it has also been suggested that some animals strand accidentally by followingtheir prey ashore in the confusion of the chase. In 1995 David Thurston monitored pilotwhales that beached after following squid ashore. However, this idea does not seem tohold true for the majority of mass strandings because examination of the animals'Q34stomach contents reveal that most had not been feeding as they stranded.There are also some new theories which link strandings to humans. A growing concern is thatloud noises in the ocean cause strandings. Noises such as those caused by military exercises Q35 are of particular concern and have been pinpointed as the cause of some strandings of late.One of these, a mass stranding of whales in 2000 in the Bahamas coincided closely withexperiments using a new submarine detection system. There were several factors thatmade this stranding stand out as different from previous strandings. This led researchersto look for a new cause. For one, all the stranded animals were healthy. In addition, theQ36animals were spread out along 38 kilometres of coast, whereas it's more common for theQ37animals to be found in a group when mass strandings occur.A final theory is related to group behaviour, and suggests that sea mammals cannotdistinguish between sick and healthy leaders and will follow sick leaders, even to aninevitable death. This is a particularly interesting theory since the whales that are thoughtQ38to be most social - the toothed whales - are the group that strand the most frequently.The theory is also supported by evidence from a dolphin stranding in 1994. Examination ofthe dead animals revealed that apart from the leader, all the others had been healthy at the Q39 time of their death.Without one consistent theory however it is very hard for us to do anything about thisphenomenon except to assist animals where and when we can. Stranding networks havebeen established around the world to aid in rescuing animals and collecting samples fromthose that could not be helped. I recommend John Connor's Marine Mammals Ashore as Q40 an excellent starting point if you're interested in finding out more about these networks, orestablishing one yourself.。

He weighed four and a quarter kilos when he 【Q1】was born.JOHN: That does sound big, four and a quarter kilos.SARAH: And he’s long too, forty-six centimetres. 【Q2】JOHN: Mmmm. Tall parents. He’ll grow up to be over two metres, I’d say.SARAH: With masses of black hair, curly black hair. You know, we should go and visit them in hospital. What about tomorrow afternoon at around l pm?JOHN: Yes, OK.SARAH: Where should we meet?... Ah, I could come and pick you up at your house, if you like.JOHN: Yes, that would be wonderful. My car is still off the road.SARAH: Just refresh my memory. What’s the address again?JOHN: It’s 15 Chesterfield Road, Paddington.SARAH: It’s next to the library, isn’t it?JOHN: Not exactly. It’s next to a bank. The State Bank actually. The library is 【Q3/Q4】opposite us, on the comer.SARAH: That’s right, and there’s a garage on the other street corner.

We must take them something.JOHN: I always think flowers are good to take to someone in hospital, don’t you?SARAH: Well, not really. Everyone always brings flowers and they don’t last. I think it’s much better to take a pot plant, so she can take it home with her.JOHN: Yes, but then she has to remember to water it. What about a big box of chocolates?SARAH: OK, chocolates sound fine. We should get something for the baby too. What do 【Q6】you think?JOHN: Yes, you’re right.

I’d say the chocolates would be about $15 for something nice andnot too small and the toy would be around $35 or so, I’d think. 【Q10】SARAH: Good, that’ll be fine. About $25 each then. Good, I’ll pick you up then on Sunday at twelve forty-five.JOHN: OK.SARAH: See you then.

Tonight’s show comes to you from the Good Home Exhibition in Duke’s Court, where we’ve been trying out some of the latest gadgets on show here and getting our resident expert - Liz Shearer - to tell us which ones are worth buying and which will die a death.LIZ SHEARER: Well, hello. Yes, John, I’ve been investigating four new household gadgets and sorting out the advantages and disadvantages and then really deciding what are ‘Must buys’, what are ‘Maybe buys’ and what are ‘Never buys’. Let’s start with this vacuum flask for keeping drinks hot. Well... I felt this had quite a lot going for it, most of all is the fact that it containsno glass and is therefore unbreakable to all intents and purposes. It’s made 【Q11】of stainless steel which is guaranteed for 20 years.., hope that’s long enough.., and it’s true what the manufacturer claims - that it does maintain heat for 18 hours. So that’s pretty good. On the down side, it 【Q12】really works out to be quite expensive and, much more surprisingly, it unfortunately leaves a strange taste.., you know when you’ve drunk 【Q13】from it... so all in all, my recommendation would be it’s got plenty of advantages, but it is rather expensive so I’d say you should maybe buy it. Moving on to a natty little device.., the Whistle Key Holder. Basically this is where you whistle and the key holder gives off a high pitched noise and flashes light so you can find it. One advantage of this model is that it also has a small light. You press the button and this means you can find keyholes easily. I also felt the small size was a real advantage. On the 【Q14】weaker side, I did find the noise unpleasant. Which I’m sure the designers could have done something about. And I found that it didn’t work 【Q15】through metal, so it’s mainly useful for finding in coat pockets, cushions, etc. But taken as a whole I thought it was a masterpiece of design and 【Q16】would highly recommend it. The third gizmo is called the Army Flashlight because it was developed initially for military use. It works by squeezing the handle to generate the power. Its advantages are that it can be used for outside activities, and 【Q17】also.., and this is one of the surprising features.., it does work underwater. My main objection to it though was although it did work in 【Q18】these conditions, this model gave off a weak light. So my recommendation 【Q19】I’m afraid would have to be to avoid this one. The decoy camera was last on my list. This is a fake video camera which you fix to your wall to scare off burglars. The advantage of this model is something which makes it look very realistic.., itsflashing light. On the 【Q20】down side, it was quite difficult to fix to the wall. However, burglary is such a major problem these days that it is worth the effort, so this gets my strong recommendation.PRESENTER: OK. Thanks for that, Liz.SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Complete the table below:Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answerFor the recommendation column, write[A] You must buy this.[B] Maybe you should buy this.[C] You should never buy this.11.【11】正确答案:glass12.【12】正确答案:eighteen/18 hours/hrs13.【13】正确答案:(a) (strange) taste14.【14】正确答案:(the) small size∥small∥(the) size15.【15】正确答案:metal16.【16】正确答案:A17.【17】正确答案:outside/outdoor activities∥outdoors18.【18】正确答案:underwater∥under/beneath water19.【19】正确答案:(a) weak light20.【20】正确答案:flashing light听力原文:BRYSON: Well, Amina, thanks for letting me have your draft in such good time.AMINA: Oh, that’s alright. I was just very anxious to hear what you think of it.

You’ve got a while yet to make the changes.AMINA: Oh right.., no problem...BRYSON: Right. Let’s have a look at my notes here. OK. Starting with section headings …. the broad divisions are good but you’ll have to re-do the actual headings. Example I’ve made some suggestions in the margins...AMINA: OK. Thanks.BRYSON: Now, this information on local housing... I can see why you put it there but it 【Q24】really isn’t relevant to the approach you’ve taken.AMINA: I think I see what you mean.BRYSON: Now... what did I say about the interviews?AMNA: I worked very hard on those. I really thought they were valuable.BRYSON: They are, Amina, but they’re very complex and rather unclear at the moment. You’re going to have to spend a bit of time making the data a lot clearer. 【Q25】AMINA: OK... as long as I don’t have to remove them altogether...BRYSON: No, don’t worry.AMINA: What about the chronology.., the list of dates? I wasn’t sure whether I should rewrite those.BRYSON: My advice on that is to take them out. I feel it makes the whole piece appear 【Q26】too simplistic.AMINA: OK, if it’ll help. ................................................................................................................................. .........................BRSON: Now, there are a couple of other books I’d like you to look at. Have you got a pen? Right... Approaches to Local History by John Mervis...AMINA: Right...BRYSON: And then I think you need to think about ways of representing interview data. Have a look at Sight and Sound by Kate Oakwell. 【Q27】AMINA: Sight and Sound.BRYSON: Then you know I’m going away on holiday next week...AMINA: Yes.BRYSON: So when you’ve made the changes I suggest you show the work to your 【Q28】Support Tutor.AMINA: Support Tutor... right...BRYSON: Then you do the proof reading... 【Q29】AMINA: Proof reading.., uh-huh.

I’m Paula Bundell and I am giving you the lectures on EnvironmentalNoise this term. Today we are going to look into the effects of noise on a planned housingestate in a particularly difficult part of the new Manchester Park area. This site is not as bad as some I have researched in the past. The Blacktown airport isclosed from 6pm to 7am and this is a great advantage to the site. The only noise after darkis from the highway and the traffic is somewhat reduced between 7.30pm and 5.30am. 【Q31】So, the people most affected by the noise will be, I expect, housewives. By the time most of 【Q32】the students and workers have arrived back home in the evening during the week the noisewill have abated to a fairly large extent. The weekends are still a problem of course, but thetraffic is certainly reduced on Saturdays to a large extent and even more so on Sundays. 【Q33】Of course modifications to houses will be necessary at a site like this and they come at asignificant cost to the developer and home buyer. The modifications I am about to outlinewill add about $25,000 to the price of a newly-built house. That will still mean a cheaper 【Q34】house than in a less noisy and more desirable area. A bit of background would not go astray. I understand that you are all familiar with theproposed development site at Manchester Park. It’s a particularly difficult one in terms of noise with the highway along the easternperimeter and the Blacktown airport not 3 kilometres away to the north. Ofcourse, those nearest the highway will be the worst hit, with heavy traffic noise aswell as the noise from the light planes overhead. As you all know, the normal noisethreshold for private housing is 55 decibels. At this site the levels have been recorded as 【Q35】high as 67 decibels. The construction of the houses has to be somewhat modified from houses in most areas. Inthe houses on the highway and in the noisiest areas of this site there will be a need forspecialised double glazing and special acoustic seals will have to be fitted to the doors. 【Example】All exterior doors in this especially noisy pocket will have to be solid core wood doors withhinges. Every house built on this site, not just those adjacent to the highway or nearest tothe airport, will require high density insulation materials in the roof. Not only will all theroofs need insulating, the exterior walls will be required to be double brick. All ceilings will 【Q36】require double thickness plaster board to be used in the construction. In the noisiest areasmechanical ventilation will have to be installed in the exterior walls. In those areas with 【Q37】sealed windows it will be necessary to fit fans with absorbers to cut out the noise in thoseparticular houses. Air conditioning units could also be fitted in the ceilings of such houses 【Q38】but this is substantially more expensive than fans, and may not be needed on this site. Coming back now to the double glazing I mentioned before. Specialised double glazingrequires a larger air gap between the inner and outer glass than normal double glazing.The gap must be at least 7 centimetres. The thickness of the glass is also a factor, 8 【Q39】millimetres on the outside and 6 on the inside pane. It is essential that the glass be thickeron the outside than on the inside and that the gap between the panes of glass be aminimum of 7 centimetres. Obviously, the noise factor will have to be taken into consideration with the layout ofthe houses. Living areas will have to be designed at the back of the houses away from thehighway. Bedrooms and living rooms will have to be built towards the back, and for those 【Q40】houses closest to the highway two layers of plasterboard will be needed for the interiorbedroom walls. Those rooms constructed at the front of the houses should be garages,laundries, kitchens, bathrooms and dining rooms. I have come to the conclusion that this development should go ahead, but with variousacoustic modifications according to the position of the block in relation to the highwayand intersection.Section 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-34Write NUMBERS AND/OR NO MORE THAN FOUR WORDS for each answer.31.Between what times is the road traffic lightest?正确答案:7.30pm (to/and) 5.30am 【NOT 7.30 to 5.30】32.Who will notice the noise most?正确答案:housewives∥housewifes33.Which day of the week has the least traffic?正确答案:Sunday(s)34.What will be the extra cost of modifying houses?正确答案:(about) $25,000/twenty-five thousand dollars 【NOT 25,000】Question 35Choose the correct letter A-D.35.The noise levels at the site can reachA.45 decibels.B.55 decibels.C.67 decibels.D.70 decibels.正确答案:CQuestions 36-38Complete the table showing where devices used in reducing noise could be fitted in the houses.Write: W for walls D for doors C for ceilings36.double thickness plaster boardA.WB.DC.C正确答案:C37.mechanical ventilationA.WB.DC.C正确答案:A38.air conditioningA.WB.DC.C正确答案:CQuestions 39 and 40Choose the correct letters A-D.39.Which is the correct construction for acoustic double glazing?A.AB.BC.CD.D正确答案:D40.What is the best layout for the houses?

根据录音中女士说的there are just two more apartme nts 可知答案即将出现,接下来该女士磕磕巴巴地说sun ...Su nshine ,这其实是暗示考生答案更加接近了,但它同时又是陷阱,让考生以为Sunshine是答案,其实,女士的这句话只是提问,男士回答的the Sun shade Apartme nts 才是答案。

3. balco ny Greek pai ntin gs 是本题的并列成分,它既是定位词,又是定性词,决定空格中要填名词或动名词。

录音中,在Greek paintings 之后有个and,提示考生接下来给出的是其并列成分,即balcony。
