You will see that there is an example which has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Man: Pinder’s Animal Park. Hello?Woman: Oh, hello, I’m ringing to ask whether you have any jobs available...Man: Ah, what sort of work are you looking for? Is that permanent, or part time or...Woman: Actually I’m just looking for temporary work. I’m a student.Man: Oh right. I’ll just get a form, and ask you a few questions.Narrator: The woman says that she wants temporary work, so ‘temporary’ has been written in the space.Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer Questions 1-5.Man: Oh right. I’ll just get a form, and ask you a few questions. Then I’ll pass your application on to our recruitment section. Is that OK?Woman: Fine, thank you.Man: So, starting with your name ...Woman: It’s Jane LamertonMan: Is that L-A-double M-E-R-T-O-N?Woman: There’s only one M in it.Man: Oh, right. And your address?Woman: It’s forty-two West Lane.Man: Right... And is that in Exeter?Woman: Yes.Man: OK. And can you give me your mobile phone number?Woman: Oh double seven nine two, four three oh nine two one.Man: Right. Now, the next thing is, when are you available to start work?Woman: I finish college on the eighth of June, that’s in three weeks’ time, but I can’t start work till the eleventh because I’ve got a hospital appointment on the tenth of June.Man: No problem. Now I need to ask you a few questions about the type of job that might be suitable. Do you have any particular kind of work in mind? It doesn’t necessarily mean that you will get work in the field that you want, but I can record your preferences.Woman: Well I’d do anything, and I have worked as an assistant animal keeper before, when I was still at school. But I’m studying at a catering college now, and I’d really like to get some experience as an assistant cook if possible.Man: Right. So that’s your first choice. Have you done that kind of job before?Woman: No. But I’ve helped my aunt sometimes—she runs a cafe in Exeter.Man: Mmm. Would you say you’ve got any relevant skills then?Woman: Well I’m used to using the kind of equipment you usually find in a kitchen.Narrator: Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at Questions 6-10. Now listen and answer Questions 6-10.Man: OK ... And I know you’re still studying, but do you already have any qualifications related to that kind of work? A hygiene qualification, for example? Woman: I haven’t, no, but I’ve got a certificate in food-handling. I did it before I decided to become a full-time student.Man: Fine. OK. That means you wouldn’t need any specific training if you did get the kind of work you wanted. But you’d have to do a short course on First Aid. All our new employees do that. It just takes half a day, and most people find it generally useful. Woman: Oh yes, I’m sure it is.Man: Well that’sabout it, really. Just one last thing - can you give me the name of someone who would give you a reference? Like a previous employer or... Woman: Oh yes, you can put Dr Ruth Price... Man: OK ... Is that one of your college lecturers? Woman: She’s my college tutor. She’s known me for over two years, and I’m sure she wouldn’t mind. In fact she’s given me a reference before.Man: Fine. We’d probably contact her by phone - do you happen to know her number?Woman: I’ve got it on my phone—yes—it’s oh two oh eight, six eight five, double one four. That’s a landline. Man: Good. Well. As I say, I can’t promise anything, but I’ll pass your application on and you should hear in a few days. Is there anything else?Woman: Just one thing—I suffer from a particular type of colour blindness, and sometimes employers have to make special arrangements for that.Man: OK. I’ll make a note of that. It won’t be a problem, but it’s good that you’ve made us aware of it. You can provide us with more details if you are offered a job. Woman: OK. Thanks very much. Bye. Man: Bye.Complete the form below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.

First you have some time to look at Questions 11-15. Now listen and answer Questions 11-15.Leader: Hello everyone. I’ve been asked to talk to you this afternoon about next month’s trip to Tamerton Study Centre for the two-week course. Now some of the things I’m going say you may have already heard or read about... but I think it’s important to emphasise a few key points.First of all, it’s worth reminding you why Tamerton was set up in the first place ... in the late nineteen sixties. That was really before all the concern with preserving the environment which everyone talks about these days. The idea was simply to get people out of the cities and into the country and to find out that just being outdoors can be very rewarding.This is not going to be a holiday in the usual sense. It’s called an adventure course because you’ll really be stretched to your limits but that in itself can be a positive thing. The group I took last year, for example, said that although they actually felt pretty weak and exhausted all the time, it really made them learn a lot about themselves and increased their confidence ... and in the end that’s the most important thing.Now all of you knew about policies at Tamerton before you signed up for it, so you know that in many ways it’s quite old fashioned—you don’t have a lot of choice in what you do. But something which I think makes the place so special is that you get to try so many different things, every day. For instance, one day you’ll do climbing and the next you’ll be surveying rock pools. It’s not intended that you become an expert in any of them ... it’s more like a taster, which you can follow up if you want.And there isn’t a lot of free time ... organised activities and talks, etc. go on until 9:00 pm and lights go out at 11:00 pm There are table tennis tables, with all the equipment, and board games,though I have to say the pieces often go missing so it’s a good idea to take your own. There’s a DVD player with a good selection of films suitable for this age group so don’t take yours.Bed-time at 11:00 pm is strictly enforced ... and there’s a good reason for this. You’re all under eighteen and we organisers need to know that all group members are accounted for in the house as we close for the night. And of course you’ll be so exhausted anyway that you’ll be too sleepy to want to cause any trouble.Narrator: Now you have some time to look at Questions 16-20. Now listen and answer Questions 16-20.Leader: Now, what should you pack? The information sheet tells you a lot about what clothing to bring ... but what about other things? Well, Tamerton House has its own small shop, but anything bigger is several miles away so you won’t have many opportunities for buying supplies. So in this last part of my talk, I’m going to explain what objects you should take with you to the Centre, what you can take if you want and also, very importantly, what you cannot take.Several of you came up to me before this talk and asked whether you can take things like kettles, or hairdryers. The answer is: there are plenty of these electrical appliances available in the Centre and they are of the proper voltage and are checked regularly. Yours may not be, so the rules at Tamerton say you can’t bring them into the Centre ... because it’s considered a fire risk ... remember it’s a very old house. Now, another question was about cell phones. Although you definitely can’t have them on during inside talks, you equally definitely need them when you’re out on exercises ... so they’re a must. I’m afraid. Anybody who wishes to talk to me about borrowing a phone for the fortnight, please see me after this talk.Now, the weather’s heating up at the moment and you’ll be outdoors a great deal. If you wear proper clothing, especially a hat, sun cream is optional. Also they sell high-factor cream in the shop so you don’t have to take any of your own, unless there’s a special kind you use. Now there’s a special note about things like deodorants which come in aerosol cans—I need to tell you that these are banned in the Centre because apparently they have the habit of setting off the fire alarms. If you want to take an aerosol can, you’ll actually be at risk of being told to leave.And finally, people having been asking about whether they need to take towels. Well, the Centre does provide one towel per guest, which you’re required to wash yourself. If you’re happy with that then don’t bring another. If not, take one of your own. Just remember how much outdoor exercise you’ll be doing ... and how dirty and wet you’ll be getting ...Choose the correct answer, A, B or C.Tamerton Centre11．The Tamerton Centre was set up in order to encourage peopleA．to enjoy being in the countryside.B．to help conserve the countryside.C．to learn more about the countryside.正确答案：A12．Last year’s group said that the courseA．built their self esteem.B．taught them lots of new skills.C．made them fitter and stronger.正确答案：A13．For the speaker, what’s the most special feature of the course?A．You can choose which activities you do.B．There’s such a wide variety of activities.C．You can become an expert in new activities.正确答案：B14．The speaker advises people to bringA．their own board games.B．extra table tennis equipment.C．a selection of films on DVD.正确答案：A15．Bed-time is strictly enforced becauseA．it’s a way to reduce bad behaviour.B．tiredness can lead to accidents.C．it makes it easy to check everyone’s in.正确答案：CWhat rules apply to taking different objects to the Centre?Match each object with the correct rule, A-C.Write the correct letter, A-C.Objects:Rules:A You MUST take thisB You CAN take this, if you wishC You must NOT take this16．Electrical equipment______正确答案：C17．Mobile phone______正确答案：A18．Sun cream______正确答案：B19．Aerosol deodorant______正确答案：C20．Towel______正确答案：B听力原文：Narrator: You will hear a trainee teacher called Eve talking to her university tutor about her preparations for teaching practice. Before you listen, you have some time to look at Questions 21-25. Now listen and answer Questions 21-25.Tutor: Hello Eve, come in and sit down ... How’s it going?Eve: Fine thanks. I’m looking forward to my teaching practice next week.Tutor: Good. Now you’ve got two classes, haven’t you—Year 3 and Year 6. Have you done your lesson plans?Eve: Well, I’ve decided to take the topic of renewable energy ... I haven’t done a lesson plan for Year six yet, but I thought I’d base their lesson on an example of very simple technology. So I’ve brought this diagram to show you ... I got it from the internet.Tutor: Let’s see ... A biogas plant... So this is equipment for producing fuel from organic waste?Eve: Yes. The smaller container on the left is where you put the waste you’ve collected ...Tutor: Right, and from there it’s piped into the larger tank?Eve: That’s right. And that’s slurry on the base of the larger tank.Tutor: Right... and what exactly is slurry?Eve: It’s a mixture of organic waste and water.Tutor: So is that pipe at the bottom where the water comes in?Eve: Yes it is... As the slurry mixture digests it produces gas, and that rises to the top of the dome. Then when it’s needed it can be piped off for use as fuel in homes or factories. It’s very simple.Tutor: I suppose there’s some kind of safety valve to prevent pressure build-up?Eve: That’s the overflow tank. That container on the right. As the slurry expands some of it flows into that, and then once some of the gas has been piped off, the slurry level goes down again and the overflow tank empties again.Tutor: I see. Well I think that’s suitably simple for the age level it’s for. I look forward to seeing the whole lesson plan.Eve: Thanks. And can I show you my ideas for the Year three lesson?Tutor: Of course. Let’s look.Narrator: Before you listen to the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at Questions 26-30. Now listen and answer Questions 26-30.Eve: I thought I’d introduce the topic by writing the word ‘energy’on the board, and reinforcing the spelling and the pronunciation. Then I’ll do a little mime—you know, run on the spot or something—to convey the sense.Tutor: I’d keep it brief at this stage ...Eve: Yes, I will. Then I’ll wipe the word off and write the question ‘Where does energy come from?’, and see what the pupils come up with.Tutor: Fine. I’d suggest that you just brainstorm at this stage, and don’t reject any of their suggestions.Eve: Yes, that’s what I was going to do ... Then I’ve produced a set of simple statements, like ‘Energy makes cars move along the road’, and ‘Energy makes our bodies grow’. There are eight altogether.Tutor: Are you going to give them out as a handout? Or write them up on the board?Eve: First, I’ll put them on the board, and then I’ll read them out loud. And I’ll get the pupils to copy them out in their notebooks. I’ll also ask them to think up one more similar statement by themselves, and add it to the list.Tutor: Good idea.Eve: After that I thought I’d vary things a bit by sticking some pictures up ... of things like the sun and plants and food, and petrol, and a running child. And I’ll get the pupils to work out what order the pictures should come in. in terms of the energy chain.Tutor: I think that’s a very good idea. You could move the pictures around as the pupils give you directions.Eve: Yes, I think they’d enjoy that. And to finish off I’ve made a gap-fill exercise to give out. They’ll be doing that individually, and while they’re writing I’ll walk round and check their work.Tutor: Good ... And have you worked out the timing of all that?

She is describing research into artificial gills designed to enable humans to breathe underwater. Now you have some time to look at Questions 31-40. Now listen, and answer Questions 31-40.Presenter: In my talk today I’ll be exploring the idea of artificial gills. I’ll start by introducing the concept, giving some background and so forth and then I’ll go on to explain the technological applications, including a short, very simple, experiment I conducted.Starting with the background ... As everyone knows, all living creatures need oxygen to live. Mammals take in oxygen from the atmosphere by using their lungs, and. fishes take oxygen from water by means of their gills, which of course in most fishes are located either side of their head.But human beings have always dreamt of being able to swim underwater like the fishes, breathing without the help of oxygen tanks. I don’t know whether any of you have done any scuba diving but it’s a real pain having to use all that equipment. You need special training, and it’s generally agreed that tanks are too heavy and big to enable most people to move and work comfortably underwater. So scientists are trying a different tack: rather than humans carrying an oxygen supply as they go underwater, wouldn’t it possible to extract oxygen in situ, that is, directly from the water, whilst swimming?In the nineteen sixties the famous underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau, for example, predicted that one day surgery could be used to equip humans with gills. He believed our lungs could be bypassed and we would learn to live underwater just as naturally as we live on land. But of course, most of us would prefer not to go to such extremes.I’ve been looking at some fairly simple technologies developed to extract oxygen from water—ways to produce a simple, practicalartificial gill enabling humans to live and breathe in water without harm. Now, how scientists and inventors went about this was to look at the way different animals handled this—fairly obviously they looked at the way fishes breathe but also how they move down and float up to the surface using inflatable sacs, called swim bladders. Scientists also looked at animals without gills, which use bubbles of air underwater, notably beetles. These insects contrive to stay underwater for long periods by breathing from this bubble which they hold under their wing cases.…Presenter: By looking at these animal adaptations, inventors began to come up with their own ‘artificial gills’. Now making a crude gill is actually rather easy—more straightforward than you would think. You take a watertight box ... which is made of a material which is permeable to gas, that is, it allows it to pass through, inwards and outwards. You then fill this with air, fix it to the diver’s face and go down underwater. But a crucial factor is that the diver has to keep the water moving, so that water high in oxygen is always in contact with the gill, so he can’t really stay still. And to maximise this contact it’s necessary for your gill to have a big surface area. Different gill designers have addressed this problem in different ways but many choose to use a network or lattice-arrangement of tiny tubes as part of their artificial gills. Then the diver is able to breathe in and out—oxygen from the water passes through the outer walls of the gill and carbon-dioxide is expelled. In a nut-shell, that’s how the artificial gill works.So, having read about these simple gill mechanisms, I decided to create my own. I followed the procedure I’ve just described and it worked pretty well when I tried it out in the swimming pool ... I lasted underwater for nearly forty minutes! However, I’ve read about other people breathing through their gill for several hours.So the basic idea works well, but the real limitation is that these simple gills don’t work as the diver descends to any great depth because the pressure builds and a whole different set of problems are caused by that... Research is being done into how these problems might be overcome... but that’s another story which has to be the subject of another talk!Despite this serious limitation, many people have high hopes for the artificial gill and they think it might have applications beyond simply enabling an individual to stay underwater for a length of time. For example, the same technology might be used to provide oxygen for submarines ... enabling them to stay submerged for months on end without resorting to potentially dangerous technologies such as nuclear power. Another idea is to use oxygen derived from the water as energy for fuel cells. These could power machinery underwater, such as robotic devices...So, in my view, this is an area of technology with great potential. Now, if anyone has any questions, I’d be happy to answer...Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.

And today we’re taking a look at a number of different breeds of working dogs. And here to report on the dogs with jobs is Kevin Thorn hill. Kevin: Thanks, Joanne. Well yes, dogs with jobs is the subject of today’s programme. Dogs have earned themselves a reputation over the centuries for being extremely loyal. And here’s a little story which illustrates just how loyal they are. Just outside the country town of Gundagai , Australia is a statue built to commemorate a dog - a dog which sat waiting for his owner to return to the spot where he’d left him. Well ... the story, which was immortalised in a song, has it that the poor dog died waiting for his master ‘five miles from Gundegai!’, which is where they built the statue. Now that’s what I call loyalty! Well, because of their loyalty and also their ability to learn practical skills dogs can be trained to do a number of very valuable jobs. Perhaps the most well known of working dogs is the border collie sheep dog. Sheep dogs which work in unison with their masters need to be smart and obedient with a natural ability to herd sheep. Some farmers say that their dogs are so smart that they not only herd sheep, they can count them, too! Another much-loved working dog is the guide dog, trained to work with the blind. Guide dogs, usually Labradors, need to be confident enough to lead their owner through traffic and crowds but they must also be of a gentle nature. It costs a great deal of money to train a dog for this very valuable work but the Guide Dog Associations in the UK, America and Australia receive no government assistance so all the money comes from donations. Another common breed of work dog is the German shepherd. German shepherds make excellent guard dogs and are also very appropriate as search and rescue dogs working in disaster zones after earthquakes and avalanches. These dogs must be tough and courageous to cope with the arduous conditions of their work. And so that they can be sent anywhere in the world to assist in disaster relief operations, effective dogs and their trainers are now listed on an international database. When you arrive at an airport here in Australia, you may begreeted in the baggage hall by a detector dog, wearing a little red coat bearing the words ‘Quarantine’. These dogs are trained to sniff out fresh fruit as well as meat and even live animals hidden in people’s bags. In order to be effective, a good detector dog must have an enormous food drive - in other words they must really love their food. At Sydney airport where there are ten detector dogs working full time, they stop about 80 people a month trying to bring illegal goods into the country. And according to their trainers, they very rarely get it wrong! Another famous working dog is the husky. Huskies, which originally came from Siberia, have been used for decades as a means of transport on snow, particularly in Antarctica where they have played an important role. Huskies are well adapted to harsh conditions and they enjoy working in a team. But the huskies have all left Antarctica now because the International Treaty prohibits their use in the territory as they are not native animals. Many people were sad to see the dogs leave Antarctica as they had been vital to the early expeditions and earned their place in history along with the explorers.SECTION 2 Questions 11-20Questions 11-12Complete the sentences below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.11．The story illustrates that dogs are ______ animals.正确答案：loyal12．The people of the town built a ______ of a dog.正确答案：statueQuestions 13-20Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.13．【13】正确答案：(possibly) count14．【14】正确答案：gentle (nature)15．【15】正确答案：donations/donors16．【16】正确答案：search and rescue17．【17】正确答案：(international) database18．【18】正确答案：love their food/ love food/ love eating19．【19】正确答案：80 people20．【20】正确答案：in a team听力原文：Chairman: We’re very pleased to welcome to our special interest group today, Dr. Linda Gray car who is from the City Institute for the Blind. Linda is going to talk to us about the system of writing for the blind known as Braille. Linda, welcome.Dr. Gray car: Thank you.Chairman: Now we’d like to keep this session pretty informal, and I know Linda won’t mind if members of the group want to ask questions as we go along. Let’s start with an obvious one. What is Braille and where does it get its name from?Dr. Gray car: Well, as you said, Braille is a system of writing used by and for people who cannot see. Er, it gets its name from the man who invented it, the Frenchman Louis Braille who lived in the early 19th century. Chairman: Was Louis Braille actually blind himself?Dr. Gray car: Well ... he wasn’t born blind, but he lost his sight at the age of three as the result of an accident in his father’s workshop. Louis Braille then went to Paris to the National Institute for Blind Children and that’s where he invented his writing system at the age of only 15 in 1824 while he was at the Institute.Chairman: But he wasn’t the first person to invent a system of touch reading for the blind, was he?Dr. Gray car: No - another Frenchman had already come up with the idea of printing embossed letters that stood out from the paper but this was very cumbersome and inefficient.Chairman: Did er Louis Braille base his system on this first one?Dr. Gray car: No, not really. When he first went to Paris he heard about a military system of writing using twelve dots. This was a system invented by an enterprising French army officer and it was known as ‘night writing’It wasn’t meant for the blind, but rather ... for battle communications at night.Chairman: That must’ve been fun!Dr. Gray car: Anyway, Braille took this system as a starting point but instead of using the twelve dots which ‘night writing’used, he cut the number of dots in half and developed a six-dot system.Chairman: Can you give us a little more information about how it works?Dr. Gray car: Well, it’s a system of touch reading which uses an arrangement of raised dots called a ‘cell’. Braille numbered the dot positions 1-2-3 downward on the left and 4-5-6 downward on the right. The letters of the alphabet are then formed by using different combinations of these dots.Student: Yes, so is the writing system based on the alphabet with each word being individually spelt out?Dr. Gray car: Well ... it’s notquite that simple, I’m afraid. For instance, the first 10 letters of the alphabet are formed using dots 1, 2, 4 and 5. But Braille also has its own short forms for common words. For example, ‘b’ for the word ‘but’ and ‘h’ for ‘have’ - there are many other contractions like this.Chairman: So you spell out most words letter by letter, but you use short forms for common words.Dr. Gray car: Yes. Though, I think that makes it sound a little easier than it actually is!Chairman: And was it immediately accepted? I mean, did it catch on straight away?Dr. Gray car: Well, yes and no! Um, it was immediately accepted and used by Braille’s fellow students at the school but the system was not officially adopted until 1854, two years after Braille’s death. So, official acceptance was slow in coming!Student: I suppose it works for all languages which use the roman alphabet?Dr. Gray car: Yes, it does, with adaptations, of course.Student: Can it be written by hand or do you need a machine to produce Braille?Dr. Gray car: Well, you can write it by hand on to paper with a device called a slate and stylus but the trick is that you have to write backwards ... e.g. from right to left so that then when you turn your sheet over, the dots face upwards and can be read like English from left to right.Student: Oh, I see.Dr. Gray car: But these days you’d probably use a Braille- writing machine, which is a lot easier!Chairman: And, er, tell us, Linda. Is Braille used in other ways other than for reading text?Dr. Gray car: Yes, indeed. In addition to the literary Braille code, as it’s known, which of course includes English and French, there are other codes. For instance, in 1965 they created a form of Braille for Mathematics.Student: I can’t, imagine trying to do maths in Braille!Dr. Gray car: Yes, that does sound difficult, I agree. And there’s also a version for scientific notation. Oh and yes, I almost forgot, there is now a version for music notation as well.Chairman: Well, thanks, Linda. That was most interesting.

Our memories, it’s true tosay, work very differently depending upon whether we are very old, very young or somewhere in the middle. But when exactly do we start to remember things and how much can we recall? One of the first questions that we might ask is - do babies have any kind of episodic memory ... can they remember particular events? Obviously, we can’t ask them, so how do we find out? Well, one experiment that’s been used has produced some interesting results. It’s quite simple and involves a baby, in its cot, a colourful mobile and a piece of string. It works like this. If you suspend the mobile above the cot and connect the baby’s foot to it with the string the mobile will move every time the baby kicks. Now you can allow time for the baby to learn what happens and enjoy the activity. Then you remove the mobile for a time and re-introduce it some time from one to fourteen days later. If you look at this table of results ... at the top two rows ... you can see that what is observed shows that two-month- old babies can remember .the trick for up to two days and three-month-old babies for up to a fortnight. And although babies trained on one mobile will respond only if you use the familiar mobile, if you train them on a variety of colours and designs, they will happily respond to each one in turn. Now, looking at the third row on the table, you will see that when they learn to speak, babies as young as 21 months demonstrate an ability to remember events which happened several weeks earlier. And by the time they are two, some children’s memories will stretch back over six months, though their recall will be random, with little distinction between key events and trivial ones and very few of these memories, if any, will survive into later life. So we can conclude from this that even very tiny babies are capable of grasping and remembering a concept. So how is it that young infants can suddenly remember for a considerably longer period of time? Well, one theory accounting for all of this - and this relates to the next question we might ask - is that memory develops with language. Very young children with limited vocabularies are not good at organising their thoughts. Though they may be capable of storing memories, do they have the ability to retrieve them? One expert has suggested an analogy with books on a library shelf. With infants, he says, ‘it is as if early books are hard to find because they were acquired before the cataloguing system was developed’. But even older children forget far more quickly than adults do. In another experiment, several six-year-olds, nine-year-olds and adults were shown a staged incident. In other words, they all watched what they thought was a natural sequence of events. The incident went like this ... a lecture which they were listening to was suddenly interrupted by something accidentally overturning, in this case it was a slide projector. To add a third stage and make the recall more demanding, this ‘accident’ was then followed by an argument. In a memory test the following day, the adults and the nine-year-olds scored an average 70% and the six- year-olds did only slightly worse. In a retest five months later, the pattern was very different. The adults’memory recall hadn’t changed but the nine-year-olds’had slipped to less than 60% and the six-year-olds could manage little better than 40% recall. In similar experiments with numbers, digit span is shown to...SECTION 4 Questions 31-40Questions 31-35Complete the notes below.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS or A NUMBER for each answer.Question: Canbabies remember any 【31】______ ?Experiment with babies: Apparatus:baby in cot colourful mobile some 【32】______ Re-intrlduce mobile between one and 【33】______ later.Table showing memory test resultsBaby’s age Maximum memory span2 months 2 days3 months 【34】______4 months several weeks2 years 【35】______31．【31】正确答案：(particular) events32．【32】正确答案：string33．【33】正确答案：14 days34．【34】正确答案：(a) fortnight/2 weeks/two weeks35．【35】正确答案：six monthsQuestions 36-40Research questions: Is memory linked to 【36】______ development?Can babies 【37】______their memories?Experiment with older children:Stages in incident: a) lecture taking place b) object falls over c) 【38】______Table showing memory test results Age % remembered next day% remembered after 5 months Adults 70% 【39】______9-year-olds 70% Less than 60%6-year-olds Just under 70% 【40】______ 36．【36】正确答案：language37．【37】正确答案：retrieve/recall/recover38．【38】正确答案：(an) argument39．【39】正确答案：70%. 40．【40】正确答案：40%.。

Its advantages are those of safety and efficiency -safety as it avoids hitting floating or submerged debris and efficiency as it can travel at five times the speed, but at one fifth of the fuel cost of a normal ferry. And plans are being drawn up for a large version, big enough to carry 150 passengers and freight for 2,000 kilometres at over 300 kilometres per hour. Since the Hoverplane can carry a 50% greater payload than a similar sized aircraft, but with a 30% lower fuel consumption, and it needs neither special ports nor runways, the craft should be an attractive economic proposition for operators and promises to be a popular ferry in the 21st century.Sentence completion Complete the sentences below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.Hoverplane17．The Hoverplane will be able to travel at a maximum speed of______per hour.正确答案：250 kilometres18．The craft is efficient, because it uses______of the normal fuel of a ferry.正确答案：one fifth/ 1/519．The larger planned version will be able to carry______ and freight at 300 kilometres an hour.正确答案：150 passengers。
雅思(写作)模拟试卷82(题后含答案及解析)
雅思（写作）模拟试卷82(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. 2.1．You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.The graph and bar chart below show the average monthly rainfall and temperature for one region of East Africa.Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and making comparisons where relevant.Write at least 150 words.Average monthly rainfall and temperatures正确答案：The graph shows the average weather conditions in one region of East Africa. It shows that there are significant differences in the average monthly precipitation and some variation in temperature. The range of rainfall figures is very large across the year(from approximately five to 280 millimetres)whereas the temperature only fluctuates by three degrees, from 20.5-23.5°C. Broadly speaking, in this region periods of high rainfall tend also to be periods of slightly hotter weather, with two noticeable peaks in the year. Temperatures are fairly high in March and April(just over 23°C), which coincides with a time of very heavy rainfall(with a top figure of 280mm in April). Both rainfall and temperature figures fall in the middle of the year(to a yearly low of 20.5°C, and just five mm of rain in July). The exception to this pattern—of warmer weather being damper—is January/February and September where there are relatively high temperatures(22-23°C)but low rainfall(less than 20mm).2．You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Write about the following topic:Meat production requires relatively more land than crop production. Some people think that as land is becoming scarce, the world’s meat consumption should be reduced.What measures could be taken to reduce the world’s meat consumption? What kinds of problem might such measures cause?Give reasons for your answer, and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.Write at least 250 words.正确答案：I strongly agree with the suggestion that humankind should consume less meat and instead have more vegetables in their diet, and I believe that a number of steps can be taken to persuade people to do this. Firstly, I feel that education has a major role to play in bringing about this change of lifestyle. A well-informed minority of the world’s population may be fully aware of the fact that it is much cheaper and more environmentally sound to eat vegetables, thereby cutting out one whole stage of production, rather than consuming the animals which graze on vegetation. However, I believe that the majority are not conscious of this. Figures should be made widely available showing the savings to be made from this option—both financial and ecological. From a young age, children should also be taught this as an essential part of the curriculum and to set an example, school meals shoulc be redesigned to reflect a shift from meat to vegetables. A second measure would be financial. Taxes can be put on meat to make it a luxury item to be eaten fairly rarely, at most three of four times a week, rather than two or three times a day as is the practice in many parts of the developed world. There is, however, a danger in too much interference in people’s choice. It is often the case that resistance builds up against lecturing and fiscal penalties, meaning that people will react by ignoring all the advice. Perhaps a compromise position would be to encourage less wastage in food production and retail, particularly in the developed world. Huge amounts of perfectly usable food are thrown away by households and restaurants and supermarkets. Less wastage would mean less food production in the first place.。

First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Man: ‘Holidays for You’. Sean speaking. Can I help you?Woman: Oh hi. I’ve been looking at your website. Um, I’m interested in a cycling holiday in Austria in April.Man: Ah! We have two trips in April - one lasts fourteen days and the other ten days.Woman: Mm ... I think the(Example)10-day trip is better. So let’s see. I’ve got a calendar here. What are the dates?The length of the trip that the woman chooses is 10 days, so ‘10’has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.[repeat]Man: Well, that trip is in the middle of the month.(1)It starts on the 17th of April and it finishes on the 27th.Woman: That suits me. I can’t leave work before the 10th of April.Man: Let me see if there are any spaces. Is it just for yourself?Woman: Myself and my sister - so two of us.Man: Um, yes. We have spaces.Woman: Is it a big group?Man: At the moment there are 12 people booked on this trip and with you two that will be 14.(2)The maximum number is 16 so it’s almost fully booked. We can’t go over that because it’s hard to keep a larger group together.Woman: I need to check that I’m fit enough for this but the distances look OK. The website says(3)we’ll ride approximately 45km a day. Is that right?Man: That’s correct and I’ve got the exact distances here. It really depends on which part of the trip. Some days are only 35km and some are more. But you’ll never have to cycle more than 50km in one day.Woman: Oh, OK. I can manage that. And we stay in hotels?Man: Yes. They all have restaurants and the rooms have en-suite facilities.Woman: And do they have pools? It’s how I relax after a long day.Man: There is a(4)swimming pool in a few of the hotels but none of them has a gym.Woman: I don’t think we’ll need a gym after all that cycling! I’d better find out how much the holiday costs before I get too excited.Man: Including flights it’s ￡1,177 for one person.Woman: Oh, we’ll book our own flights on the Internet.Man: Ah, that’s just ￡(5)1.013 then. And we can book insurance for you if you want.Woman: Mm ... and which meals are included in that price?Man: Well, er, breakfast of course. And the hotels will provide you with a packed lunch each day. We do stop during the afternoon in a village somewhere for a rest, so(6)any snacks you buy then are extra. Then dinner will be in the hotel every evening and that’s included in the price of the holiday.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen andanswer questions 7 to 10.Woman: And you provide the bicycles of course. What else?Man: A lock and a bell come with the bike as well as lights, although you shouldn’t need to cycle in the dark. There’s a small bag, or pannier, on the front of the bike, where you can put the things you want to take with you during the day like water or fruit.(7)But we won’t allow you to cycle unless you bring a helmet. We don’t provide these locally because, like walking boots on a walking holiday, it’s really important it fits properly.Woman: OK.Man: If there’s any special gear you need for your holiday, we recommend a particular website and you can get a discount by quoting your booking reference.Woman: Great. What is it?Man: It’s . That’s all one word, and I’ll spell it for you: www dot(8)B-A double L-A-N-T-Y-N-E dot com.Woman: Good. I’ve got that down. I’ve been looking at your website while we’ve been talking.

Some of the tracks sometimes get very muddy.Woman: OK. Well, hopefully it won’t rain too much! I know we stop in towns and villages but do we get a chance to look around?

First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 11 to 14.Announcer: And now we have our ‘Know your town’ section Where we look at what’s on offer in our area. Today John Munroe is going to tell us about local food and eating out. John.John: Well, most of us buy our food in supermarkets these days but we’re very lucky having a wonderful market here. It was originally on the piece of land in front of the cathedral but at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river.(11)When the new shopping centre was built in the 1960s, it found a home beneath the multi-storey car park where it still is. but there are plans to move it back to its previous home by the river.The market is now open six days a week. On Tuesday to Saturday you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese from the area, as well as a whole range of imported produce.(12)But if you come on a Sunday, you’ll find a different market, where craftspeople sell what they have made - things like bags, cards, clothes. During the week there are a few stalls selling more everyday utensils like saucepans and cleaning products alongside the fruit and vegetables - as well as one new stall selling antique furniture which is proving to be very popular.People often ask what our local dish is. As we’re by the sea, they expect it to be some kind of fish recipe. Our fish is good of course but there isn’t one particular dish that stands out.(13)What we do have is an apple cake that isn’t really made anywhere else. There’s a new cafe in the High Street: Barton’s, which bakes them fresh every morning and serves them with delicious home-made ice cream in a choice of flavours.Now, the harbour is obviously the place to buy fresh fish. Every morning there’s a stall where local fishermen sell a selection of the day’s catch before the rest goes to London or abroad. They’ve been doing that for as long as anyone can remember of course, but the harbour itself looks very different from a few years ago.(14)Most of the restaurants used to be at the far end, but that part was redeveloped and the restaurants had to relocate to the other end. Many of them are simply the old ones in new premises but a couple of new ones have opened recently so there’s a good range now both in the harbour and the town itself. I’m now going to give you my ‘Top Six Places to Eat’ in different parts of the town.Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.So Number 1 for me isMerrivales, which is in one of the busiest parts of the town leading down to the harbour. It’s in a side street so it doesn’t look out over the water but it’s very close, so you can take a walk after your meal and find one of the cafes with live music. At Merrivales you can enjoy delicious fresh fish and seafood.(15)The friendly staff offer very attentive service and a really enjoyable evening.The Lobster Pot is on the main road going down to the harbour so it also misses out on the sea view, but the food makes up for that.(16)It serves a huge range of fish and seafood as well as vegetarian and meat dishes so there’s something for everyone. Prices are from mid-range to fairly expensive so it’s really only for a special occasion.Elliots is in the city centre and is a very upmarket restaurant in the evening but during the day it serves lunch and coffee.(17)It’s on the twentieth floor above some offices and it’s a great place to sit for a while as you can see most of the city spread out from there. It does get very busy though and you may have to wait to be served.Not far from the city centre is The Cabin which is on the canal bank. You can’t park your car there - it’s a fifteen-minute walk from the nearest car park - but(18)it’s very peaceful, a good place to relax away from the traffic. It’s not cheap but it’s an ideal place for a long lunch.The Olive Tree is a family-run restaurant in the city centre offering beautifully prepared Greek dishes. It’s well known locally and very popular. Service can be slow when it’s busy as all the food is freshly made. There’s plenty of room and on Friday and Saturday nights,(19)the wooden floors resound with live music and dancing which is certainly worth going for.The last place I want to recommend has only just opened in a converted school building. The Old School Restaurant has been very cleverly renovated.(20)The use of mirrors, plants and the colours on the walls makes you feel as though you’re in a large garden instead of the city centre. There are only a few dishes on the menu but they change every day.So Tanya, I...11．The market is now situatedA．under a car park.B．beside the cathedral.C．near the river.正确答案：A解析：Distraction B: ‘It was originally ... in front of the cathedral’ but later ‘it was moved’. It was never ‘beside’ the cathedral; C: ‘at the beginning of the twentieth century it was moved to a site by the river’ but John goes on to say it found another ‘home’‘in the 1960s’. Although ‘there are plans to move[the market]back ...’ these are for some time in the future, not now.12．On only one day a week the market sellsA．antique furniture.B．local produce.C．hand-made items.正确答案：C解析：Distraction A: Antique furniture is sold on ‘one new stall’, not ‘on onlyone day’; B: Local produce[= ‘fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and cheese from the area’]is sold from ‘Tuesday to Saturday’.13．The area is well known forA．ice cream.B．a cake.C．a fish dish.正确答案：B解析：Distraction A: Ice cream is served with the cake in one cafe but the area isn’t famous for the ice cream; C: John says ‘Our fish is good of course but there isn’t one particular dish that stands out’.14．What change has taken place in the harbour area?A．Fish can now be bought from the fishermen.B．The restaurants have moved to a different part.C．There are fewer restaurants than there used to be.正确答案：B解析：Distraction A: Fish can be bought from the fishermen but this isn’t a change(‘They’ve been doing that for as long as anyone can remember ...’); C: There are more restaurants(‘a couple of new ones have opened recently’)not fewer.Which advantage is mentioned for each of the following restaurants?Choose SIX answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-H, next to questions 15-20.AdvantagesA the decorationB easy parkingC entertainmentD excellent serviceE good valueF good viewsG quiet locationH wide menu15．Merrivales ______正确答案：D解析：Distraction C: The entertainment is in ‘one of the cafes with live music’ in the area. Distraction F: ‘it doesn’t look out over the water’, so it doesn’t have good views. Distraction G: It is in ‘one of the busiest parts of the town’, so it isn’t a quiet location. Distraction H: It doesn’t have a wide menu - John just mentions ‘delicious fresh fish and seafood’.16．The Lobster Pot ______正确答案：H解析：Distraction E: It’s not good value because prices ‘are from mid-range to fairly expensive’. Distraction F: ‘it also misses out on the sea view’. Distraction G: It ‘is on the main road’ so it isn’t in a ‘quiet location’.17．Elliots ______正确答案：F解析：Distraction G: John says it ‘is in the city centre’so it’s not in a ‘quiet location’. Distraction D: ‘you may have to wait to be served’so the service isn’t ‘excellent’.18．The Cabin ______正确答案：G解析：Distraction B: John says ‘You can’t park your car there ...’; E: ‘It’s not cheap’.19．The Olive Tree ______正确答案：C解析：Distraction H: It serves ‘beautifully prepared Greek dishes’ so it doesn’t have a ‘wide menu’; D: ‘Service can be slow’ so it’s not ‘excellent’.20．The Old School Restaurant ______正确答案：A解析：Distraction H: ‘There are only a few dishes on the menu’.听力原文：You will hear three students on a media studies course talking about a film they are planning to make. First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.Reza: Hi Mike.Mike: Hi Reza, this is Helen.Helen: Hello!Mike: We’re really pleased you’ve agreed to join us on this film project.Helen: Yes, your experience is going to be so useful.Reza: Well, I hope so. It’s the technical side I know best - lighting, sound and stuff.Mike: But you think the script is OK?Reza: Yes, I think it’s great! Um, have you decided where you’re going to shoot?Helen: Well, there’s the water-mill scene at the end. And we’ve thought about some locations in town we can use. They’re behind the shopping mall and on a couple of residential streets. And in an empty shop on campus. It means we don’t have to worry about getting permission from a shopowner.Mike: So(21)do you think we should go to all the locations with you?Reza: It would be a good idea. We need to talk about the levels of background noise so we know they’re all going to be reasonable places to film.Mike: But the sounds of traffic will make it more natural.Helen: I think Reza means things like aeroplanes, trains and so on that would mean we have to stop filming.Reza: Exactly. And also I’ll make notes for myself about what lighting I’m going to need. I think the university department has a good range of equipment, but I’ll need to make a list for each location for my own reference. Anyway, once we’ve had a look round,(22)youcan do the roadworks check.Mike: What do you mean?Reza: You need to find out about building work or roadworks. Because you could start filming one day and come back in the morning to find one of the roads has been dug up! The local council have to be informed about things like that so you can find out from them.Mike: OK. Then I think we need to work from the script and put together a list of all the scenes and decide which ones we’re going to film when. We need to(23)prepare the shooting schedule, day by day.Reza: You’re right. Then when you know how long filming is going to last, you can tell everyone when they’re needed.Helen: OK, so as soon as we can, we’ll audition, and then when we contact people to offer them parts we can send the exact dates and(24)make really sure they are free. Because often the actors are all enthusiastic but then when you try to pin them down about whether they’re really free at that time, you find they’ve got exams or something, or they’re off to a festival just before and you have to rush about looking for replacements.Mike: Then, we need people who can take over the main parts if one of our stars falls ill or something.Reza: Yes, I agree. So offer the main parts to the people we really want, and then look at other volunteers who were OK.Helen:(25)Yes. We can select the understudies once the main roles have been confirmed. So, once we’ve got that sorted and we’ve held all the rehearsals of the main scenes, we’ll be ready to start filming.Reza: Yes, that sounds good. Anything else?Mike: Er, well, just housekeeping, really. We don’t actually need costumes because actors will wear their own clothes.(26)My family has agreed to lend us some pieces of furniture which we need, so we’ll go and fetch those the weekend before we start.Helen: We’ll provide food and drink during shooting so I’m going to borrow some cool-boxes.Mike: And I’ve got a little van. Most of the locations are within walking distance of the halls of residence anyway. The only one further away is the water-mill.Reza: Ah, yes, can you tell me about that?Mike: Um, OK. Er, hang on a minute, I’ll get my notes. There’s a plan in them.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.Mike: Here’s the mill. You see, basically you have a vertical water-wheel which was used to power the grinding stones.Reza: Mm, it sounds really interesting. Will we film inside?Helen: Yes. That’s where the final scene between the girl and the man takes place. Our plan is to(27)fix one camera outside bv the window next to the door, to film through the window, and then have another handheld camera inside the mill. That means we can get two views of the same scene. We were going to do something using a mirror, but we decided that would be too complicated.Mike: Yes, by doing it that way,(28)all we’ll need is lights on the inside, next to the wall behind the wheel which can shine across to the opposite wall.Reza: Hmm. Will that give enough light?Helen: I think so, because the scene is in the evening; it shouldn’t be too bright. The actors will be carrying torches too.Mike: And(29)we’ll have an old screen made of wood just inside the door, because it’s a new door and it’ll look wrong. The lights won’t shine directly on it so it’ll be fine.Reza: So you won’t actually show the door open?Mike: No.(30)There’s a huge box on the floor against the wall farthest from the wheel. We’ll see the girl approaching the mill on her bike. Then we see through the window and the man is inside looking at it, then the next shot is the girl, in the room with him,opening the box.Reza: So it’ll be a mysterious ending! Well, I think it’s going to be a great project.Mike: Good.Helen: Thanks!Complete the flow-chart below.Choose SIX answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-l, next to questions 21-26.A actorsB furnitureC background noiseD costumesE local councilF equipmentG shooting scheduleH understudiesI shopowners 21．正确答案：C解析：Distraction ‘equipment’ is wrong because Reza says ‘I’ll make notes for myself about what lighting I’m going to need ... a good range of equipment, but I’ll need to make a list for each location for my own reference’(he will decide on the lighting equipment himself so they won’t discuss it).22．正确答案：E解析：The word ‘roadworks’ tells you when to listen for the answer to 22 but it does not come immediately.23．正确答案：G24．正确答案：A25．正确答案：H解析：The meaning of ‘understudies’ is given before you hear the word.26．正确答案：B解析：Distraction Mike mentions ‘costumes’ but points out they ‘don’t actually need’ any.Choose four answers from the box and write the correct letter, A-G, next to questions 27-30.A lightsB fixed cameraC mirrorD torchesE wooden screenF bikeG large box27．正确答案：B解析：It’s outside the mill, by the window.

First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[Pause the recording for one minute.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.Lecturer: Good afternoon. I want this afternoon as an introduction to our ecology module to offer examples of exotic pests - non-native animals or plants which are, or may be, causing problems - which might prove a fruitful topic for seminar papers later in the term. People and products are criss-crossing the world as never before, and on these new global highways, plants and animals are travelling too.Exotic plants and animals are turning up in Antarctica and on the most remote islands on Earth. For example, the Australian red-backed spider - it’s made its way to countries fairly near home, such as New Zealand and Japan, as some of you may know - well, it’s also been found on Tristan da Cunha,(31)which is a remote island, thousands of miles from anywhere, way out in the middle of the Atlantic.Now, another famous animal invader in the other direction, so to speak, from England to Australia in the southern hemisphere, is the rabbit. This was in 1830 and it might seem less of a threat, but it became an extraordinarily destructive pest. The fact that rabbits increased so rapidly is perhaps more understandable when we remind ourselves that they had originally been introduced to England from continental Europe eight centuries earlier.(32)This was because theywere regarded as a luxury food source, and in spite of having warm fur, they probably originated on the hot dry plains of Spain, which of course explains why they thrive in the climate of Australia.A much less cuddly example of a pest introduced to Australia, this time from America, is fire ants. These are increasing and spreading very fast.(33)Their huge nests can now be found in gardens in the city of Brisbane and they are costing the Australian government a great deal of money in control measures. These were an accidental introduction, rather than a deliberate one, brought to Australia, probably in horticultural imports or in mud on second-hand machinery.As a biologist and conservationist, I have become increasingly concerned about these matters. Exotic invasions are irreversible and deserve to be taken more seriously even when they aren’t particularly damaging. For example, something that is not necessarily a major disaster compared to other ecological experiments:(34)in 1975 an Australian species of earthworm was deliberately introduced to the northern hemisphere, in Scotland, because they were bigger than the natives.(35)The aim was that they would be more effective than native species, but in fact they don’t do more for the soil condition than the smaller locals which they displace. Although they don’t do a lot of harm, as far as we know up to now, this will probably prove to have been a mistake.A much more serious case, also in Scotland, as well as other countries, along with the latest victim, Iceland, is the New Zealand flatworm. This is a most unwelcome newcomer in these regions of (36)north-west Europe. Basically, this flatworm came into these countries by accident. It’s now been realised that it was actually (37)carried in the plant pots containing exotic ornamental shrubs and so on, and as it eats local earthworms, and doesn’t benefit the local ecology in any way, it is a real pest.Next, there’s a further instance, this time in the water and it’s come from Japan. It’s(38)a delicious but very fast-spreading seaweed and is one of many exotic species, large and small, in the seas covering the rocks around Australia. Unfortunately, it is replacing indigenous seaweeds and permanently altering the ecosystem. However, to look at the situation from a business point of view - it is now being harvested and exported, dried, back to Japan, its original home, where it’s particularly popular. So sometimes we may find accidental benefits from apparently harmful arrivals.Well, you could say that world ecology is now going the same way as popular culture. Global music and fashions, food and drinks are taking over from local ones in every land. And in ecosystems, we find vigorous exotic invaders overwhelming native species and natural habitats.But can we find any examples of invaders which appear to be a problem and then find that in fact they may not be such a big issue after all? We might take as an example a native of Australia, the budgerigar, the most common pet parrot in the world, of course. Because there have been many escapes over the years, it is now to be found flying about in feral flocks where the climate suits it. So, these flocks of budgerigars have been getting very numerous(39)in the south-east of the United States, particularly in residential areas. People have been getting quite worried about this, but it has been observed that the size of the flocks has diminished somewhat recently. The fact that they are smaller is thought to be(40)due to the fact that new competitors for their habitat have arrived from other places.That’s the last example for now. What I’d like you to consider isthis: Is the planet Earth moving towards a one-world ecosystem? How far would it be a wholly bad development?Complete the table below.Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.31．正确答案：(the)Atlantic(Ocean)32．正确答案：(luxury)food(source)解析：Distraction Rabbits’‘fur’ is mentioned but there is no suggestion they were imported for the fur to be ‘used for’ something.33．正确答案：(in)gardens解析：Distraction ‘nests’ are what the ants make, not their ‘habitat’(which is what this column is about).34．正确答案：earthworm / earth worm35．正确答案：soil(condition)解析：Distraction ‘natives’, ‘native species’ and ‘locals’ are all mentioned but the pests ‘displace’ these, they do not improve them.36．正确答案：North(-)west / north(-)west解析：Distraction ‘Scotland’ and ‘Iceland’ are mentioned, but they are names of countries so they cannot be the adjective in front of ‘Europe’.37．正确答案：plant pots解析：Distraction ‘ornamental shrubs’ are mentioned but the flatworms came in the earth in the pots, not the plants.。

Now before we commence our tour I’d just like to tell you a little bit about the history of the museum. As you can see, it’s a very modern building built in the post modern style and it was in fact opened by the Prime Minister of Australia in November 1991. It’s been designed with a nautical flavour in mind to remind us of our links with the sea. But the museum isn’t only housed in this building; there are a number of historic ships docked outside in the harbour which form part of the museum and which you are also free to visit, and we’ll be coming to them shortly. I’d just like to point out one or two things of general interest while we’re here. Handicapped toilets are located on this floor and the door shows a wheelchair. The cloakroom where you can hang your coat or leave your bags is just behind us here. The education centre is on the top floor and there’s a good little library in there whichyou might like to use. Follow the signs to the Education Centre—you’ll see a lot of little green arrows on the wall. The green arrows will take you there. The information desk, marked with the small letter i on your plan is located right here in the foyer, so if you get separated from your friends, I suggest you make your way back to the information desk because we’ll be returning to this spot at the end of the tour. All right? Now, if you look out this window you should be able to see where the museum’s ships are docked. If you want to go on a tour of the old ship, the Vampire, she’s docked over there and you should meet outside on the quay. However, a word of warning ! I don’t recommend it for the grandmas and grandpas because there are lots of stairs to climb. Right, now, let’s move on. Oh, I almost forgot to give you the times for that tour. Now, tours of the Vampire run on the hour, every hour. All right? Let’s take a walk round the museum now. The first room we’re coming to is the theatre. This room is used to screen videos of special interest and we also use it for lectures. There’s continuous video showing today about the voyages of Captain Cook, so come back here later on if you want to learn more about Captain Cook. Now, we’re moving along the gallery known as the Leisure Gallery. This is one of our permanent exhibitions and here we try to give you an idea of the many different ways in which Australians have enjoyed their time by the sea: surfing, swimming, lifesaving clubs, that’s all very much a part of Australian culture. At the end of this section we’ll come to the Picture Gallery where we’ve got a marvellous collection of paintings, all by Australian artists. I think you can buy reproductions of some of these paintings in the museum shop. Well worth a good look. Now we’re coming to the Members’Lounge. As a member of the museum you would be entitled to use the members’ lounge for refreshments. Membership costs $ 50 a year or $ 70 for all the family. So it’s quite good value because entry to the museum is then free. And down at the far end of this floor, you’ll find the section which we’ve called Passengers and the Sea . In this part of the museum we’ve gathered together a wonderful collection of souvenirs from the old days when people travelled by ship. You’ll find all sorts of things there: old suitcases, ships’ crockery, first class cabins decorated in the fashion of the day. Just imagine what it must have been like to travel first class. Now I’m going to leave you to walk round the museum on your own for a while and we’ll all meet back again at the information desk in three quarters of an hour’s time. I hope you enjoy your time with us at the museum today.

Is that correct?M: Yeah, OK, well…T: So what exactlyis revenue management?M: Well, it’s a way of managing your pricing by treating things like airline tickets and hotel rooms rather more as if they were perishable goods.S: Yeah, I just tried to book a ticket yesterday for Perth and would you believe there are three different prices for the flight?M: Right! And what was the rationale for that?S: Well…the travel agent said it depended on when you book and the length of the stay, like it’s cheap if you stay away for a Saturday night, presumably because this isn’t business travel, and even cheaper if you buy a ticket where you can’t get a refund if you have to cancel; in that case the ticket costs about half the price. You wouldn’t think it would make that much difference, would you?M: Well it does, and that’s basically because the airlines are now treating their seats like a commodity. You see—if you want a seat today, then you pay far more for it than if you want it in three weeks’ time.S: That seems rather unfair.M: Well. . .not really…when you think about it, that’s just common sense isn’t it?S: I suppose so.T: What this actually means is that in the same row of seats on the same flight you could have three people who have all paid a different price for their tickets.S: And is this just happening in Australia?M: No, no it’s the same all over the world. Airlines are able to ‘market’ a seat as a perishable product, with different values at different stages of its life.S: Well like mangoes or apples at the market.M: Yeah, it’s exactly like that. The fact is that the companies are not actually interested in selling you a cheap flight! They’re interested in selling the seats and flying aeroplanes that are full.T: Mark, why do you think revenue management has come about?M: Well, as far as I can see, there are two basic reasons: firstly because the law has been changed to allow the companies to do this. You see in the past they didn’t have the right to keep changing the prices of the tickets, and secondly we now have very powerful computer programs to do the calculations and so the prices can be changed at a moment’s notice. S: So you mean ten minutes could be critical when you’re buying a plane ticket? M: Absolutely! T: That’s right! M: And I understand we have almost reached the stage where these computer programs that the airlines are using will eventually be available to consumers to find the best deals for their travel plans from their home computer. S: Heavens! What a thought! So the travel agent could easily become a thing of the past if you could book your airline tickets from home. Are there any other industries using this system, or is it restricted to the airline business? M: Many of the big hotel groups are doing it now. That’s why the price of a bed in a hoted can also vary so much…depending on when and where you book it. T: It’s all a bit of a gamble really. M: Yes, and hire car companies are also using revenue management to set their tariffs, because they are also dealing with a ‘commodity’ if you like…so the cost of hiring a car will depend on demand. T: Well, thank you, Mark, for that overiew…that was well researched.

Welcome to this talk on Space Management. And today I’m going to look particularly at space management in the supermarket. Now since the time supermarkets began, marketing consultants, like us, have been gathering information about customers’s shopping habits. To date, various research methods have been used to help promote the sales of supermarket products. There is, for example, the simple and direct questionnaire which provides information from customers about their views on displays and products and then helps retailers make decisions about what to put where. Another method to help managers understand just how shoppers go around their stores are the hidden television cameras that film us as we shop and monitor our physical movement around the supermarket aisles: where do we start, what do we buy last, what attracts us, etc. More sophisticated techniques now include video surveillance and such devices as the eye movement recorder. This is a device which shoppers volunteer to wear taped into a headband, and which traces their eye movements as they walk round the shop recording the most eye-catching areas of shelves and aisles. But with today’s technology, Space Management is now a highly sophisticated method of manipulating the way we shop to ensure maximum profit. Supermarkets are able to invest millions of pounds in powerful computers which tell them what sells best and where. Now, an example of this is Spaceman which is a computer program that helps the retailer to decide which particular product sells best in which part of the store. Now Spaceman works by receiving information from the electronic checkouts(where customers pay)on how well a product is selling in a particular position. Spaceman then suggests the most profitable combination of an article and its position in the store. So, let’s have a look at what we know about supermarkets and the way people behave when they walk down the aisles and take the articles they think they need from the shelves. Now here’s a diagram of one supermarket aisle and two rows of shelves. Here’s the entrance at the top left-hand corner. Now products placed here, at the beginning of aisles, don’t sell well. In tests, secret fixed cameras have filmed shoppers’s movements around a store over a sevenday period. When the film is speeded up, it clearly shows that we walk straight past these areas on our way to the centre of an aisle. Items placed here just don’t attract people. When we finally stop at the centre of an aisle, we pause and take stock, casting our eyes along the length of it. Now products displayed here sell well and do even better if they are placed at eye level so that the customer’s eyes hit upon them instantly. Products here are snapped up and manufacturers pay a lot for these shelf areas which are known in the trade as hotspots. Naturally everyone wants their products to be in ahotspot. But the prime positions in the store are the ends of the aisles, otherwise known as Gondola ends.Now these stand out and grab our attention.For this reason many new products are launched in these positions and manufacturers are charged widely varying prices for this privileged spot. Also, the end of an aisle may be used for promoting special offers which are frequently found waiting for us as we turn the corner of an aisle. Well, now, eventually of course, we have to pay. Any spot where a supermarket can be sure we are going to stand still and concentrate for more than a few seconds is good for sales. That’s why the shelves at the checkout have long been a favourite for manufacturers of chocolates—perhaps the most sure-fire ‘impulse’ food of all.Complete the table.

雅思（听力）模拟试卷82(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. Listening ModuleListening Module (30 minutes & 10 minutes transfer time)听力原文：You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear. There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work. All the recordings will be played once only. The test is in four sections. At the end of the test you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet. Now turn to section 1.Section 1. You will hear a woman talking to a man about joining a drama club. First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.Man: Hello. Robert Gladwell speaking.Woman: Oh hi. My name’s Chloe Martin. I was given your name and phone number by Ben Winters. I work with him and he said you’re a member of Midbury Drama Club.Man: Yes, I am.Woman: Well, I’ve just moved to the area and I’m keen to join a drama club.Man: Great! Yes, I can give you some information. We’re one of the oldest drama clubs in the area as(Example)the club started in 1957. We now have about 60 members. Our youngest member is ten and our oldest member is 78.The year the drama club started was 1957, so ‘1957’has been written in the space. Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.[repeat]Woman: I think I saw a picture in the newspaper the other day of some of your members being presented with a prize.Man: Yes,(1)the youth section did very well in a competition and won ￡100 which will help with their next production. Anyway, tell me a bit more about yourself.Woman: Well, I’ve done a bit of acting. I was in a couple of musicals when I was at university and a historical play more recently.Man:(2)Mm ... we mainly do comedy plays. We get good audiences for that kind of thing. We haven’t attempted a musical yet, but we might do one soon.Woman: Oh! When do you usually meet?Man: On Tuesdays.Woman: Presumably I’ll need to do an audition?Man: Yes, there were a few auditions last Tuesday and we’ll be doing more at our next meeting which is in two weeks’ time, (3)that’s on Tuesday the 12th of March. There’ll be another opportunity two weeks after that which will be on the 26th of March.Woman: Oh, well I can come to your next meeting. And if I don’t get an acting part in a play, I’d be happy to help with something else. (4)I’ve designed publicity before.Man: Great! We’re very short of people who can do that, so that would be really good. There are a lot of people who like making scenery so we get plenty of help with that, but we haven’t got enough people to do the lights at the moment so if you think you can do that or you have any friends who would like to, do bring them along. We can show you what to do if you haven’t got any experience.Woman: Mm ... I’ll have to think about it. So do you meet in thetheatre?Man: We do our performances in The Manor Theatre but we only hire that for the nights of the actual performances.(5)We meet to rehearse every Tuesday evening in the community hall. We rent a room there.Woman: Oh, I’m not sure where that is. I’ll be coming by car because I don’t live in the town centre.Man: It’s in Ashburton Road. As you’re coming towards the centre down Regent Street, you need to turn left at the crossroads.Woman: Oh, I know, there’s a big car park down there, just before you get to a hotel.(6)It’s on the other side of the road from the sports centre.Man: That’s it. That’s the closest place to leave your car and you don’t have to pay in the evening to park there. We meet at 7.30 and we usually finish by 9.30 or 10.Woman: OK! Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 7 to 10.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.Man: I haven’t mentioned that we have to make a charge.(7)Everyone pays a subscription of ￡180 to be a member for a year. You can pay for the whole year at once or you can pay ￡15 every month. It works out the same. There are reductions for retired people and under-18s but I don’t think you come into either category?Woman: No. I’m 26!Man: Oh! That fee covers all the costs like photocopying of scripts and producing the posters but(8)it excludes the costumes for the performances. We ask people to pay for the hire of those themselves. It does mean they look after them properly as they know they won’t get their deposit back otherwise.Woman: Mm ... can I come along to the next meeting then?Man: Of course. We’d love to see you. And if you want to know more about how we run the auditions or the next play we’re doing, why don’t you give our secretary a ring? She’ll be really pleased to help you.Woman: What’s her name?Man: It’s Sarah Sawdicott.(9)That’s S-A-W-P-l-C-O double T.Woman: Got that. And her phone number?Man: I’ve only got a mobile number for her. Urn ... just a minute ... let me find it. Ah!(10)It’s 07955 240063.Woman: Great.

First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.Fergus: And now here’s Jasmine, who’s come to tell us about this week’s charity.Jasmine: Hi Fergus. This week I’m going to talk about Forward thinking and their plans for the Colville Centre.So, in recent years people have realised how useful the arts can be within healthcare.(11)The idea behind Forward thinking is to use the arts to promote wellbeing. The charity develops projects for people with special needs and health problems, and also delivers training to healthcare professionals in using the arts, as well as supplying them with information and advice. Forward thinking doesn’t just run art and craft classes to distract people who are ill, or recovering from illness, but arranges longer-term projects and courses, as it’s been shown that the arts can bring all sorts of positive changes in patients, including(12)benefits such as shortening the length of stay in hospital and reducing the amounts of medicine they need.Fergus: I see.Jasmine: Forward thinking has experience of working with a broad range of people from young adults with learning difficulties to older people in homes or daycare centres, and people with physical disabilities.The organisation’s been around since 1986, and it gradually expanded during the 1990s. Then, in the new millennium, it was decided to find a memorable name,(13)so it’s been operating as Forward thinking for several years, er, in fact since 2005.It’s quite a locally based charity, mainly for people in(14)the southern part of this region, which includes all rural and urban communities outside the city of Clifton, which has its own organisation. There are of course some similar charities in other parts of the country, in London and so on.Fergus: Mm. And what’s the present fundraising in aid of?Jasmine: Yeah. Well, the charity needs funding in order to buy the Colville Centre. This is a former village school, which was built in 1868. It was modernised and refurbished by the present owners last year, so(15)it’s ideal for art classes and for small social events, performances, seminars and so on. Forward thinking is fund-raising to purchase the building so they can use it to continue running classes and so on for the general public and eventually also for some of the people they help.Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.Fergus: Right, so can you give us a few ideas about what classes people might do there? Is it all art classes?Jasmine: Urn, well, there are some very good art classes, but there are lots of other things going on as well. So, for example, there’s ‘Learn Salsa!’ with Nina Balina’s team. They say that salsa is an easy dance to learn. It’s also an excellent form of exercise, according to Nina, and(16)that class is for both men and women. of course. It’s ideal for beginners and what they call ‘refreshers’. That’s ￡100 for ten sessions.Then another class is called ‘Smooth Movers’. It’s with Kevin Bennett and(17)it’s for you if you don’t have the same energy levels as you used to when you were a teenager. It’s a gentle exercise class, geared to the needs of whoever is in the group in a particular session. And Kevin is qualified to teach classes to people getting over injuries and so on, and balancetraining. That’s ￡60 for ten sessions.Then there’s a day called ‘Art of the Forest’, with Jamie Graham, where you discover Upper Wood, a short walk from the Colville Centre, and learn how to design in 3-D with natural materials. It’s an unusual and exciting way to be creative.Jamie is an artist, with a background also as a country park ranger.(18)For this day, youngsters must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and the costs are: adults ￡40. under-14s ￡10. but it’s best value at ￡80 for a family of four.The next one is ‘The Money Maze’, and this is(19)a series of talks by Peter O’Reilly, an Independent Financial Adviser. He gives advice on family finances, things like everything parents need to know about managing the costs of bringing up children, sending them to university, and actually, also, about care for elderly relatives. It’s ￡10 per talk, which will all go to support Forward thinking.And as a final example of what’s on offer, there’s ‘Make a Play’.(20)That’s for 8-14s and this activity is such a hit that it usually sells out within days of being announced. Basically what you do is write, rehearse and perform a play in just two days and it doesn’t require any previous experience. I gather there’s lots of fun and silliness along the way and the best bit perhaps is that there’s a performance for family and friends at the end. It’s just ￡50 for two days.Fergus: Pretty good range of activities, I think. And all raising money for a good cause.Jasmine: Yes!

First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.Tutor: Now, Stefanand Lauren. You worked together on the assignment for your Urban Geography course, didn’t you? I know you made a plan of what you were going to do before you went on the field trip. Did you stick to it?Stefan: More or less!Tutor: OK. So where did you start?Stefan: Well, first of all we selected one area of the city to work in - we decided on the centre - and we looked in detail at how it has been developed by doing a uren: Yeah ...(21)We did that by walking round and dividing the area into different categories such as residential, commercial and industrial so we could record land use. We’re going to find some maps from 50 years ago and from 100 years ago so we can look at what has changed.Tutor: Good! So that gives you a foundation. Then what did you do?Stefan: Urn, I was interested in looking at how polluted the city uren: I thought that was too general a topic and would be difficult to check. But Stefan persuaded me and actually it was quite interesting because before we started, we assumed that a lot of the pollution problems would be caused by industry.Stefan: In fact, most of the industrial development has been on the outskirts and most pollution is caused by the traffic which passes through the city centre every day.(22)There are five major road junctions around the edge of the city so we set up equipment to check the air quality on each of those three times on one uren: In the morning and evening, which is when most journeys are made in and out of the city, and at 2.30 in the afternoon.Stefan:(23)On the same day, we went to the two busiest junctions in the morning and evening to calculate the traffic flow into the city.Tutor: Right.Stefan: We’ll be able to produce some graphs from the figures we uren: Yeah.Tutor: Presumably you then looked at where all these cars ended up?Lauren: I thought we should look at why people were coming into the city - um, whether it was for employment or education or leisure activities but Stefan thought that would be too difficult.Stefan: Because most people were in cars it would be hard to ask them.(24)So we decided to spend an afternoon examining the parking facilities available instead. We established the capacity of each car park and we spent an afternoon counting cars in and out so we have an idea of how long people spend in the city centre.Tutor: So do you have evidence that most journeys are made by car within the city centre?Stefan: We checked local government statistics to see if that was true but they were uren: Everything is quite close together in the city centre and there are wide pavements so you would expect people to walk from one place to another.Stefan: So we chose a number of locations and(25)we noted how many pedestrians passed a particular spot.Tutor: Urn, how did you choose where to do that?Stefan: Oh, we stood at two places in the business district, one in the shopping area and the other was in an area where there are more tourists.Tutor: uren: I thought it was really important to talk to people so we carried out a survey on how people usually travelled into the city.(26)We asked them about their usual means of transport.Stefan: We found out that it varied according to why people were travelling - if they were employed in the city they wanted to get there quickly but if they were coming in for their leisure time they didn’t mind using the uren: That’s all we had time for while we were there.Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.[Pause the recording for 30 seconds.]Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.Tutor: OK. So shall we talk aboutwhat you’re going to do next and how you’re going to divide the tasks up? How are you going to present the data you’ve got?Stefan: Well, some of the information can be presented as graphs or uren:(27)I’m quite good at the software.Stefan: You’d better do that then. Lauren. I’ll help you check all the statistics before you uren: OK.Tutor: Urn, it’s good to present as much as you can visually. Is there anything else you can use as visuals?Stefan: Mm ... we’ve got a lot of photographs which we can go through.Tutor: uren: Er, we both took them so some will be duplicated. It’s going to take ages to go through them all. Maybe one of us should just choose some.Tutor:(28)It’s better if you collaborate. That way you’ll end up with the best of what you’ve uren: That’s fine, we’ll do that.Tutor: And, er, when the graphs and maps are done,(29)you’ll need to write a report, an analysis of the data. Will you do that together?Stefan: I think that should be my responsibility if we’re going to share the work out evenly. I can use some of Lauren’s notes as well as my own.Tutor: OK. And finally, you’ll be presenting your project to the rest of the group in a couple of weeks’ uren: We thought it’d be better for Stefan to do that as he’s got more experience at that kind of thing.Tutor:(30)I would prefer to have input from both of you as I have to do an assessment.Stefan: We’ll take turns then. We’ll divide it into sections and talk about a few things each.Tutor: Good. You’ll find it easier, Lauren, than doing a presentation on your own. Well, if you need to ask me any more questions while you’re working on this, email me.

First you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.[Pause the recording for one minute.]Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.Lecturer: Thank you for coming to this series of talks. Before I talk in detail about the experiments and innovations of the British ceramicists, I’d like to give you asummary of the social and manufacturing background in which they lived and worked. So, we’re talking about England, or more specifically, the region known as ‘The Midlands’, and we need to go back, mainly to the eighteenth century and, briefly, even earlier, to put it in a global context.Now, at that period(31)the majority of the population, whatever their station in life, as you might say, were dependent for their living, in one way or another, not on the geographical location of where they lived, but on the physical characteristics of the actual land they lived on. This is true, whether we’re talking about the aristocracy, the owners of great estates, who incidentally had no snobbery about the concept of making money from all the reserves of coal, or timber, or stone on their rolling acres, or the farmers making a fat living from the rich soils. And besides these groups, and the less affluent ones,(32)the deposits of iron ore and lead, the limestone and flint and the brown and yellow clays also sustained the numerous industries in the area.It’s important to recognise that it was already an industrial region, and had been so for centuries. There were many Midland trades, some of them indigenous, some of them not. For example,(33)there were immigrants from France who came as early as the late sixteenth century and they were producers of glass. A century later, there is plenty of evidence that the variety of trades was enormous: there was brewing in Burton-on-Trent; silk-weaving and ribbon-making near Coventry; framework knitting around Nottingham. And of course,(34)in Cheshire men dug the salt, as we still do nowadays even, which in that era was sent downriver to the estuary of the Mersey.Now, among these well-established trades, one of the oldest of the local crafts was pottery. As you will probably be aware, ceramics has always been a mix of science, design and skill, and a good potter is in a sense an experimental chemist, trying out new mixes and glazes, and needing to be alert to the impact of changes of temperature on different types of clay. For two hundred years, up to the time we are concerned with,(35)potters had been making butterpots and pitchers and patterned plates, using the clay which was plentiful in the area where they lived - in a handful of North Staffordshire villages dotted along the low hills.Now I want to explain a little about the industrial processes which had preceded the great breakthrough in Germany in 1708. That’s when the formula for porcelain was discovered, a secret that had been held in China for a thousand years. In the Midlands, in England, as elsewhere, there had basically been two kinds of pottery. The first was known, is still known, as ‘earthenware’.Now this was a bit rough and ready, but it was deservedly popular for several reasons. To start with, it was relatively cheap, so it could be used by most households. This was because(36)it could be made from local clay without any complicated processing or added materials.(37)From the potter’s point of view there was another reason for its cheapness. This was that it could be fired in simple ovens, or kilns, and at relatively low temperatures, so he didn’t have to spend so much money on fuel to achieve the necessary heat. On the other hand, after one firing in the kiln, the problem with earthenware was that it remained porous so had limited usefulness. So for most purposes(38)it had to go back in the kiln for a second firing before it became waterproof.And another thing was that it was extremely breakable - I mean, before it had even been sold. I suppose the potter wouldn’t have minded so much if people justhad to keep coming back for more every time they broke a jug or whatever! - but it was very inconvenient because it meant there was a lot of(39)wastage in the course of the manufacturing process.Anyway, for all these reasons, if people could afford it, and that would be all but the very poor, they would buy(40)stoneware, a much tougher product.Now, for this, the potter used a slightly more expensive raw material, which was made by combining clay and flint and this mixture was fired at a far higher heat, with the result that the ingredients vitrified, that is to say, in effect the whole thing became glassy and because of this it was non-porous, and naturally, this was regarded as a great advance.Well, that’s the situation in the eighteenth century. Are there any questions at this stage? OK. So, now we can go on to look at the age of innovation.Complete the sentences below.Write ONL Y ONE WORD for each answer.
