SALLY: Good morning. Hinchingbrooke Country Park, Sally speaking. I'm one of the rangers. JOHN: Oh hello. My name's John Chapman, and I'm a teaching assistant at a local primary school. I've been asked to arrange a visit to the park for two of our classes. SALLY: OK. What would you like to know? JOHN: Well, I'm new to this area, so perhaps you could tell me something about the park first, please. SALLY: Of course. Altogether the park covers 170 acres, that's 69 hectares. There are three main types of habitat: wetland, grassland and woodland. The woods are well established and varied, with an oak plantation, and other areas of mixed species, JOHN: Right. SALLY: The wetland is quite varied, too. The original farmland was dug up around 40 years ago to extract gravel. Once this work was completed, the gravel pits filled with water, forming the two large lakes. There are also several smaller ones, ponds and a stream that flows through the park. JOHN: OK, so I suppose with these different habitats there's quite a variety of wildlife. SALLY: There certainly is - a lot of different species of birds and insects, and also animals like deer and rabbits. JOHN: And I understand you organise educational visits for school parties. SALLY: That's right. We can organise a wide range of activities and adapt them to suit all ages. JOHN: Can you give me some examples of the activities? SALLY: Well, one focus is on science, where we help children to discover and study plants, trees and insects. They also collect and analyse data about the things they see. JOHN: Uhuh, SALLY: Another focus is on geography. The park is a great environment to learn and practise reading a map and using a compass to navigate around the park. JOHN; Do you do anything connected with history? SALLY: Yes, we do. For instance, the children can explore how the use of the land has changed over time. Then there's leisure and tourism. JOHN: That focuses on your visitors, | would imagine. SALLY: Yes, mostly. The children find out about them, their requirements, the problems they may cause and how we manage these. And another subject we cover is music: here the children experiment with natural materials to create sounds and explore rhythm and tempo. JOHN: That must be fun! SALLY: Most children really enjoy it. SALLY: And of course, all the activities are educational, too. Learning outside the classroom encourages children to be creative, and to explore and discover for themselves. JOHN: I would imagine they get a sense of freedom that might not be a normal part of their lives. SALLY: That's right. And very often the children discover that they can do things they didn't know they could do, and they develop new skills. This gives them greater self-confidence. JOHN; It sounds great. So, what about the practical side of it? How much does it cost for a full-day visit? We would expect to bring between 30 and 40 children. SALLY: If there are over 30, it costs £4.95 for each child who attends on the day, We invoice you afterwards, so you don't pay for children who can't come because of sickness, for example. There's no charge for leaders and other adults - as many as you want lo bring. JOHN: That sounds very fair. Well, thanks for all the information. I’ll need to discuss it with my colleagues, and I hope to get back to you soon to make a booking. SALLY: We'll look forward to hearing from you. Goodbye. JOHN: Goodbye, and thank you.

Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
听前预测： 定位词和提示词均为 hectares，此处应填数词。
题目解析： 本题通过预判答案类型，可知需要填写数字，考生可耐心等待，文本开篇会有一些引入、介绍信息。随后先听到园林管理员介绍整个公园覆盖 170 英亩的面积，注意单位（英亩）此时并不符合题干要求，为干扰信息。雅思听力考试不要求计算能力，所以一定提供了符合题干信息的数据。继续听，马上听到 69 公顷，符合题干单位要求，故填写。雅思听力中遇到数字类型考点一定要有耐心，文本经常出现干扰信息，答案和出现的文本顺序没有必然联系，核心是要符合题目要求。
听前预测： 定位词为 lakes、ponds；提示词为 and a，此处应填单数辅音开头的名词，内容为湿地类型。
题目解析： 本题定位词 lakes 先出现，随后扩展了一下描述，再提及另一定位词 ponds，紧跟着就出现了答案词 stream。本题考生要注意并列结构原文语序一般和题干一致，但文本通常会有题干内容的扩展。
听前预测： 定位词为 Science；提示词为 look at、about plants，此处应填名词，内容为儿童查看的关于植物方面的信息。
题目解析： 本题定位词 Science 原词出现，随后先听到一系列并列结构的内容：plants, trees and insects，这些都不符合预判方向。继续听，听到强调收集和分析数据，data（数据）一词符合预判内容方向，故填写。注意本题题干结构顺序和文本有很大不同，考生不要按照题干的句型以及信息的顺序判断做题，听到 plants 一词并不意味着答案已经错过，而是应该在定位到大致范围后，按照预判的内容方向抓取答案。
听前预测： 定位词为 Geography、compass；提示词为 use a、and，此处应填单数辅音开头的名词，内容为学习使用的物品，与指南针存在并列关系。
题目解析： 本题定位词 Geography 原词出现，随后先听到学习并且练习阅读 map（地图），符合预判方向，故填写。随后听到 compass（指南针）一词并给出并与之并列，进一步确认答案为 map。
听前预测： 定位词为 Leisure、tourism；提示词为 mostly concentrates on the park’s，此处应填名词，内容为重点关注的公园相关的信息。
题目解析： 本题定位词 Leisure、tourism 原词出现，随后马上听到男生的推测：关注你们的visitors（游客），该信息进一步得到园区工作人员的确认，故为答案。其中题干中的 concentrates on 被替换为原文中的 focuses on，而 mostly 这一信息则在园林管理员的回复中给出。
听前预测： 定位词为 Music；提示词为 Children make、with natural materials，此处应填名词，内容为儿童用天然材料创造的对象，且与音乐相关。
题目解析： 本题定位词 Music 原词出现，随后听到孩子们用天然材料来做实验、创造声音，符合预判，故填写。本题文本语序虽然和题干相比有所调整，但用词整体变化不大，比较容易识别。填写时要注意原文原词，使用原文 sounds 这一复数形式，表示各种声音类型。
听前预测： 定位词为 outdoor educational visits；提示词为 a feeling of，此处应填名词，内容为情绪感受类信息。
题目解析： 本题定位信息被拆分给出，文本先出现 educational，而 outdoor 则被替换为outside the classroom，意为“在教室之外”。注意等待听情绪感受类型的名词，听到 freedom（自由），符合预判诉求，故填写。其中，题干中的 feeling 在原文中被替换为 sense。
听前预测： 定位词为 self-confidence；提示词为 Children learn new，此处应填名词，内容为儿童最新学习的内容，且与提高自信存在并列关系。
题目解析： 本题为并列结构，听力文本一般符合题干提供的语序，因此定位信息很有可能出现在答案之后，其他不是明显的定位词，因此，完成上一题之后要注意对话信息的推动。听到女生回答 That’s right，意味着对话的一个层次已经结束。接下来重点按照预判方向听取答案信息，听到 develop new skills，符合预判以及题干用词搭配，故填写。随后听到 greater self-confidence，符合并列结构，因此进一步确认答案信息为 skills。
听前预测： 定位词和提示词均为 Cost，结合空白处前的符号 £，此处应填数词，以英镑计量。
题目解析： 本题定位词 Cost 先出现，随后抓听价格类型数字信息，听到 4.95 英镑，符合题干要求，故记录。本题虽然没有像第 1 题一样出现干扰信息，但是考生要培养良好的做题习惯，时刻注意答案是否符合题干要求。
听前预测： 定位词和提示词均为 Adults，此处应填名词，内容为从属于成年人类别下的人物信息，且该对象可以免门票。
题目解析： 本题先出现 leaders 一词，符合预判方向，待定，随后马上听到定位词 Adults，则进一步确认 leaders 为答案。填写时要注意，填写该词的复数形式。
