MAN Sandra - I seem to remember you had some family visitors staying with you recently.
SANDRA Yeah that's right. My brother and his family were here a couple of months ago.
MAN OK, good. Well, I wanted to ask for your advice - I got my cousin and her family visiting next month and as I don't have kids, I've no idea where to take them.
SANDRA Right. What about accommodation? Are they going to stay with you in your flat?
MAN No, thankfully. -there wouldn't be room -my cousin wants me to recommend a hotel. Do you know anywhere?
SANDRA Yes, I do actually. I always recommend people stay at the Kings【Q1】 Hotel.
MAN Where's that near?
SANDRA It's about a five minutes' walk from Murray Station - so nice and central. It's actually on George Street.
MAN Oh yes, I know. I think they're on quite a tight budget, so how much roughly is it to stay there?
SANDRA If you book a family room, it's about £125【Q2】 per night. My brother paid for two double rooms in the end, and I think that was around £95 for each room.
MAN Oh, that's not too bad.
SANDRA So how old are your cousins' kids?
MAN Twelve and nine. So I want to organise some trips while they're here. I was thinking of doing a bus tour of the city centre, as none of them have been here before.
SANDRA Those bus tours are quite expensive. I think it's better to do a walking【Q3】 tour. It gives you a much better feel for the city. There's one that starts from Colton Square. It takes a couple of hours and doesn't cost that much.
MAN Sounds good. I'll look that up. Thanks.
SANDRA If the weather's nice, one thing you could do is visit the old fort. You could get there by boat【Q4】. The whole trip takes half a day.
MAN That's a really good idea. I'd like to do that myself. And if the weather bad I was thinking they could go to the science museum. But maybe they could do that when I at work.
SANDRA Yeah - don forget it closed on Mondays.
MAN They're here from Saturday for four nights - so Tuesday【Q5】 would be best I think.
SANDRA Mmm, and it won't be so crowded then. Saturdays are terrible. I took my kids to the exhibition on old computers there and it was far too crowded. I wanted to go back but it's finished now.
MAN That's a shame. My cousin's kids would have enjoyed that.
SANDRA There's another one starting soon on space【Q6】, which looks really good too.
MAN OK, well, I'll mention that to my cousin.
SANDRA Have you thought about where to take them to eat?
MAN Well, I really like all the food stalls at Clacton Market. My cousin's vegetarian【Q7】. I know it's one of the best places for that kind of food.
SANDRA Definitely, and there'll be loads of choices for the kids too. You need to get there quite early, though. At the weekend, most of the stores stop serving lunch at 2.30.【Q8】
MAN Good point. It's all going to need careful planning. My cousin said she'd love to take the kids to a show at the theatre, but tickets are so expensive.
SANDRA I know. But you can get some good deals if you book online with bargained tickets for the following day. On some seats there a 75%【Q9】 discount.
MAN Really? I must try and get some.
SANDRA Yeah There are lots of things you can do for free as well - no need to spend a fortune.
MAN Like what?
SANDRA They're coming next month, right? Well, check and see if it's the same weekend as the Roots Music Festival in Blakewell Gardens.
MAN R-O-O-T-S?
SANDRA Yeah, check it out online. It's always a family-friendly event and there's no entry charge.
MAN That sounds perfect.
SANDRA And if you're in Blakewell Gardens, climb Telegraph Hill. You'll be able to look right down on the port【Q10】. Everyone's always really impressed because it's so huge.
MAN Oh yeah, I've been meaning to do that for ages. I've heard the view's amazing.
SANDRA Yeah, it's really worth the effort.
MAN Well, that's given me loads of ideas. Thanks so much ...
Complete the notes below.
Write ONE WORD AND/OR A NUMBER for each answer.
听前预测:定位词和提示词为 Hotel、George Street,此处应填地名,搭配 Hotel 一词。
题目解析:本题定位词 hotel 先出现,男士询问“Do you know anywhere?”,意为“你知道有什么合适的(酒店)吗?”,注意听女士 Sandra 的回答“I always recommend people stay at the Kings Hotel.”,意为“我通常推荐大家住在国王酒店”,其中 Kings 符合预判,且用词搭配符合题干诉求,故填写。继续听,听到男士询问其地址,女士回答“It's actually on George Street.”,完全符合命题限定,故进一步确认答案。注意本处通过音频无法判断 Kings 是所有格形态 King's 还是复数形 态 Kings,它们都是合理且通顺的语义语法,故都可以填写。
听前预测:定位词为 family room per night,提示词为 £,此处应填家庭房每晚的价格,以英镑为单位。
题目解析:男士接下来说到他们预算有限,询问住一晚大约要多少钱,对话开始推动到价格方面,符合本题命题叙述方向,注意听符合目标的信息:家庭房每晚的价格。 女士 Sandra 回答“If you book a family room it's about £125 per night.”,意为“如果你订家庭房的话,每晚大约 125 英镑”。其中 125 英镑符合题干限定,故填写。随后继续听“My brother paid for two double rooms in the end and I think that was around £95 for each room.”,意为“我哥哥最后订了两间双人房,每间大约 花 95 英镑”,其中 95 英镑是双人房的价格,而非家庭房,为干扰信息,故排除。注意雅思听力数字类型命题不论拼写出来还是写阿拉伯数字都不算单词, 只算一个数字,但不推荐拼写出来,容易出现拼写错误而丢分。
听前预测:定位词为 trips、city centre、Carlton Square,提示词为 a、tour,此处应填辅音开头的名词或形容词,修饰 tour。
题目解析:接下来,对话内容推动到行程本身,注意带着预判目标听信息。男士说到 I was thinking of doing a bus tour of the city centre,意为“我原本打算带他们坐观光巴士游览市中心”,其中 bus 似乎可以搭配题干信息,先待定。注意文本主要信息提供者为女士,并且男士提及 was thinking,意为“原打算”,也就意味着有可能变化,注意耐心听后续信息。女士 Sandra 随后回答“Those bus tours are quite expensive.”,意为“那些观光巴士挺贵的”,也就意味着女士在驳斥该 想法。继续听,听到“I think it's better to do a walking tour—it gives you a much better feel for the city.”,意为“我觉得不如步行参观,这样更能感受城市氛围”,其中 walking 符合题干用词搭配,且为女士推荐信息,故填写。继续听,听到 “There's one that starts from Carlton Square.”,意为“有行程从卡尔顿广场出发”,进一步符合题干限定要求,再次确认答案为 walking。
听前预测:定位词为 old fort,提示词为 a trip by,此处应填名词,内容为旅行的方式或旅行的组织者。
题目解析:男士评价“Sounds good.”,意为“听起来不错”,对话推动到下一层,注意识别预判信息。女士提及“If the weather's nice, one thing you could do is visit the old fort. You can get there by boat. The whole trip takes half a day.”,意为“如果天气好,你们可以去旧堡垒参观。可以坐船过去。整个行程大概要半天”,其中 boat符合预判方向,周围信息也符合题干内容,故填写。
听前预测:定位词为 Science Museum,提示词为 best day to visit,此处应填日期,内容限定为最适合参观博物馆的日期。
题目解析:对话继续推动,听到男士提及定位词 Science Museum,注意带着目标识别听到的信息。女士回答 don't forget it's closed on Mondays,意为“别忘了它周一 关门”,那么肯定不是最好的参观日,继续听。男士提及“They're here from Saturday for four nights—so Tuesday would be best, I think.”,意为“他们星期六来的,一共住四晚,那么我觉得周二去最好”,其中 Tuesday 符合题干限定,故填写。继续听,女士进一步表示赞同“Mmm, and it won't be so crowded then. Saturdays are terrible.”,意为“嗯,那时候也不会那么拥挤。周六人多得恐怖”,肯定周二去很合适,周六搭配消极信息,不是推荐的最佳日期,为干扰信息, 故排除。
听前预测:定位词为 exhibition,提示词为 exhibition about,此处应填名词,内容为展览的主题。
题目解析:本题和上一题衔接较为紧凑,听信息时注意识别题干,带着主动性。听到女士强调“I took my kids to the exhibition on old computers there and it was far too crowded.”,意为“我带孩子们去过那里的旧电脑展,但太挤了”,old computers 为两个单词,可自动排除。继续听,随后听到进一步补充“I wanted to go back but it's finished now.”,意为“我本来想再去一次,但现在展览已经结束了”,代表现在不能去了,不可能推荐。继续听,男士评价完可惜后,女士继续补充 “There's another one starting soon on space which looks really good too.”,意为“马 上还有个关于太空的展览,看起来也很不错”,其中 space 符合题干搭配,故 填写。男士回答“OK, well I'll mention that to my cousin.”,意为“好的,我会告诉我表姐的”,可进一步确认答案。注意听力填空题不要盯着题干表达找旁边搭配的词,有些信息会被指代或者以其他方式替换,比如本题答案词附近的 exhibition 在原文中被替换为 another one,其中 one 指代展览。核心是靠用词搭配做题。

题目解析:男士评价后,注意识别票价折扣力度方面的数字信息。男士先抱怨票价贵,但没有提及任何折扣。继续听,随后女士提及 on some seats there's a 75% discount,意 为“部分座位价格直降 75%”,其中 75 符合预判方向和题干限定内容,故填写。
听前预测:定位词为 Telegraph Hill,提示词为 a view of the,此处应填名词,内容应为景色内容。
