JIM: Hello, South City Cycling Club.
WOMAN: Oh, hi. Er … I want to find out about joining the club.
JIM: Right. I can help you there. I’m the club secretary and my name’s Jim Hunter 【Example】.
WOMAN: Oh, hi Jim.
JIM: So, are you interested in membership for yourself?
WOMAN: That’s right.
JIM: OK. Well there are basically two types of adult membership. If you’re pretty serious about cycling, there’s the Full membership. That costs 260 dollars and that covers you not just for ordinary cycling but also for races both here in the city and also in other parts of Australia. 【Q1】
WOMAN: Right. Well, I’m not really up to that standard. I was more interested in just joining a group to do some cycling in my free time.
JIM: Sure. That’s why most people join. So, in that case you’d be better with the Recreational membership. That’s 108 dollars if you’re over 19, and 95 dollars if you’re under.
WOMAN: I’m 25.
JIM: OK. It’s paid quarterly, and you can upgrade it later to the Full membership if you want to, of course. Now both types of membership include the club fee of 20 dollars. They also provide insurance in case you have an accident 【Q2】, though we hope you won’t need that, of course.
WOMAN: No. OK, well, I’ll go with the Recreational membership, I think. And that allows me to join in the club activities, and so on?
JIM: That’s right. And once you’re a member of the club, you’re also permitted to wear our kit when you’re out cycling. It’s green and white.
WOMAN: Yes, I’ve seen cyclists wearing it. So, can I buy that at the club?
JIM: No, it’s made to order by a company in Brisbane. You can find them online: they’re called Jerriz 【Q3】. That’s J-E-R-R-I-Z. You can use your membership number to put in an order on their website.
WOMAN: OK. Now, can you tell me a bit about the rides I can do?
JIM: Sure. So we have training rides pretty well every morning, and they’re a really good way of improving your cycling skills as well as your general level of fitness, but they’re different levels. Level A is pretty fast – you’re looking at about 30 or 35 kilometres an hour. If you can do about 25 kilometres an hour, you’d probably be level B 【Q4】, and then level C are the novices, who stay at about 15 kilometres per hour.
WOMAN: Right. Well I reckon I’d be level B. So, when are the sessions for that level?
JIM: There are a couple each week. They’re both early morning sessions. There’s one on Tuesdays, and for that one you meet at 5.30 am, and the meeting point’s the stadium 【Q5】 – do you know where that is?
WOMAN: Yes, it’s quite near my home, in fact. OK, and how about the other one?
JIM: That’s on Thursdays. It starts at the same time, but they meet at the main gate to the park. 【Q6】
WOMAN: Is that the one just past the shopping mall?
JIM: That’s it.
WOMAN: So how long are the rides?
JIM: They’re about an hour and a half. So, if you have a job it’s easy to fit in before you go to work. And the members often go somewhere for coffee afterwards 【Q7】, so it’s quite a social event.
WOMAN: OK. That sounds good. I’ve only just moved to the city so I don’t actually know many people yet.
JIM: Well, it’s a great way to meet people.
WOMAN: And does each ride have a leader? 【Q8】
JIM: Sometimes, but not always. But you don’t really need one; the group members on the ride support one another, anyway.
WOMAN: How would we know where to go?
JIM: If you check the club website, you’ll see that the route for each ride is clearly marked. So you can just print that out 【Q9】 and take it along with you. It’s similar from one week to another, but it’s not always exactly the same.
WOMAN: And what do I need to bring?
JIM: Well, bring a bottle of water, and your phone. You shouldn’t use if while you’re cycling, buy have it with you.
WOMAN: Right.
JIM: And in winter, it’s well before sunrise when we set out, so you need to make sure your bike’s got lights. 【Q10】
WOMAN: That’s OK. Well, thanks Jim. I’d definitely like to join. So what’s the best way of going about it?
JIM: You can …
Complete the notes below.
Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
听前预测:定位词 Full membership、$260、cycling、Australia;提示词 and。此处应填名词,且该名词与 cycling 并列,应为与之相关的事物。
题目解析:定位词 Full membership、260 dollars 后紧接着出现了“not just…cycling but also…races”这个表示“不仅……而且……”的句型,用来列举费用所包含的两个项目,其中 cycling 为原词重现,答案的关键信息为 also 之后所接的名词,因此答案为 races。
听前预测:定位词 club fee;提示词 and。此处应填名词,且句子主语为 cost,该名词应为某种费用。
题目解析:在定位词 club fee 出现之后,我们听到了答案对应信息“They also provide insurance in case you have an accident…”,其中 also 对应题干提示词 and,insurance 意为“保险”,之后的 in case you have an accident 也是在提示 insurance 的含义,因此答案为 insurance。
听前预测:定位词 kit、company;提示词 called。此处应填名词。从 called 这个词可以看出这道题为名字拼写题,通常有两种情况:字母听写或者单词听写。
题目解析:首先听到了定位词 kit、company,然后听到了提示词 called,called 这个词经常出现在考查名字填写的题目中,并且出现在答案词的前面。这道题主要考点在于字母听写,难度不大,只是需要注意字母“Z”的英式发音为“[zed]”。
听前预测:定位词 Level B、speed;提示词 kph。此处应填数字,kph 是 kilometres per hour的缩写,表示千米 / 小时,是常见的速度单位。
题目解析:当听到俱乐部有 different levels 时,应联想到 Level B 只是其中一种,要注意干扰信息 ;先提到 Level A 时,说了 30 or 35 两个数字,这样的并列信息一般都是干扰项,应排除 ;当听到第二个信息 25 kilometres an hour 时,可预判为疑似答案,记下笔记,之后听到 Level B 这个定位词时,可以确定答案就是 25。
听前预测:定位词 Tuesdays、5.30 am;提示词 meet at。此处应填名词,meet at the… 意为“在……见面”,可以推测出此处应填地名或表示地点的专有名词。
题目解析:在听到不会被替换的定位词 Tuesdays、5.30 am 之后,出现了答案对应信息“and the meeting point’s the stadium”,其中 meeting point 意为“集合地”,其后听到的 the stadium(运动场)与预测时要填写的地点相符,即为答案。注意这里的谓语动词 is 和前面的 point 连读成了 point’s。
听前预测:定位词 Thursdays、5.30 am;提示词 entrance、to the。此处应填名词,这道题同上一题一样,都是在讨论集合地,to 在这里是方位介词,意为“向 / 对着 /在……方向”,之后可接地点或者方向。
题目解析:我们在听到 Thursdays、meet at 等词之后听到了 main gate,对应题干提示词 entrance,接着听到了 to the park,与预测和题干均相符,因此地点 park 为答案。之后女士说的 just past the shopping mall 为干扰信息,past 意为“过了某地”,与题干含义不符,且 shopping mall 有两个单词,超过字数限制。
听前预测:定位词 Members;提示词 often、afterwards。此处应填名词,题干意为“成员们经常在活动之后一起……”,说明要填的是大家一起做的一件事,且这个词可与 have 搭配。
题目解析:本题定位词、提示词和答案一起出现,原文对应信息为“members often go somewhere for coffee afterwards”,意为“成员们一起做的事情是喝咖啡”,而动词 have 在搭配食物名称时意为“吃 / 喝”,所以 coffee 符合题意。
听前预测:定位词 not always ;提示词 a。此处应填单数名词,题干中的 a…with the group意为“和团队一起的……”,可提示缺失部分可能为某个人。
题目解析:文中女士问道“And does each ride have a leader?”,其中 and 作为逻辑连词告诉我们已经从上一个话题转到了一个新的话题,而且她提到的新信息 leader 是符合预测的内容的,所以为疑似答案,接着听到了“Sometimes, but not always.”, 这个回答和题干中的定位词 not always 完全相同,这时可以确定 leader 就是答案,要注意的是,这里只可以填写单数。
听前预测:定位词 print、website;提示词 beforehand。此处应填名词,且根据题干的意思 “提前在网站上查看并打印……”,预测答案应该是一份资料(地图 / 线路图 / 说明指南等)。
题目解析:在听到定位词 website 之后,出现 the route for each ride,意为“每次骑行的路线”,其中 route 符合预测的内容,接着又出现了“you can just print that out”, 其中定位词 print 原词重现,that 指代之前提到的 route,因此可以确定答案为 route。
听前预测:定位词 Bikes;提示词 must。此处应填名词,可能为复数,且该名词应该为单车上面的某个部件或者功能。
题目解析:本题在正确答案出现之前,我们听到两人讨论了当参加活动时这位女士需要带“a bottle of water, and your phone”,此时容易误将这里的水和手机当成答案,但水和手机是并列信息,应该属于干扰,且还未听到题干的主语 Bikes;接着往下听到答案对应信息“to make sure your bike’s got lights”,其中 make sure 对应 must,bike 为相符的主语,lights 是单车的部件,且前文中提到了 before sunrise,说明天还没亮,将这些信息联系在一起可以推测出 lights 为正确答案。
