TAMMY: You know when you went to the Shetland Islands last year, Paul? Did you go by ferry or did you fly?

PAUL: We went by ferry, Tammy. I prefer driving to flying – the journey feels like part of the holiday.

TAMMY: Mmm. Which ferry company did you use?

PAUL: There's only one – it's called Northern【Q1】 Ferries. The ferries all leave from Aberdeen.

TAMMY: How frequent are they?

PAUL: The service is pretty limited – there's only one ferry leaving every evening in summer anyway, seven days a week【Q2】 – I'm not sure about the winter months. They may only run on four or five days then.

TAMMY: OK. So it's an overnight trip. I quite like that idea. Leaving at night and waking up as you arrive on the island. Can you remember how much you paid for your tickets?

PAUL: They were really cheap and four people and a car worked out at just under £250【Q3】.

TAMMY: Really? I was expecting it to be more like £400 during the peak season.

PAUL: So was I. It's great value. It's a good idea to book in advance because I think they get booked up quite quickly – especially during the school holidays.

TAMMY: Yes, I suppose so. I'm just not 100% sure of our plans yet. What if I had to cancel?

PAUL: That could be a problem. I don't think it's their policy to give refunds – just a voucher【Q4】 – which you can use at a later date. But you have to cancel a month in advance to get that.

TAMMY: Right. Well we need to make up our minds quickly then.

PAUL: You'd want to book a cabin too. We booked too late to get a cabin with a window【Q5】. They're more expensive but much nicer than the inner cabins. You don't have to book a cabin at all but I think it's worth paying for. They also have luxury cabins, which are only for two people and have a TV – but I wouldn't bother with those.

TAMMY: No, I agree.

PAUL: The only other thing I can think of is to make sure you bring snacks for the kids. The selection on board is quite limited and not that healthy either.

TAMMY: Mmm. What about wifi on board? Is that any good?

PAUL: Not really. So it's best to bring some books【Q6】 for them.

TAMMY: OK. We may need to bring the dog if I can't get anyone to look after him.

PAUL: We brought ours and it was fine. The kennels on board are OK – they're quite big – you just need to provide a blanket.【Q7】

TAMMY: Uhuh. Sounds good.

PAUL: It was all very easy really – and it was quite an adventure for the kids. They loved being on the sea at night and in the morning keeping a lookout for dolphins【Q8】 – we saw loads.

TAMMY: Oh, the kids would love that!

PAUL: One other thing. We arrived in Aberdeen hours before the ferry was due to leave so we decided to go somewhere else rather than hang around at the port for so long.

TAMMY: Where did you go?

PAUL: Drum【Q9】 Castle.

TAMMY: I've never heard of it. Is that spelt like the instrument?

PAUL: Yeah. It's really worth visiting. It's got an impressive tower and beautiful gardens and ancient woodland.

TAMMY: Sounds lovely. Does it have a restaurant?

PAUL: It's only got a coffee shop – no restaurant. We looked up restaurants in the area and found an Italian 【Q10】one in a village nearby. I can check the name of it for you if you're interested.

TAMMY: Oh thanks Paul that would be ....

题目解析

听前预测:定位词为 ferry company、Ferries,提示词为 name。此处应填渡轮公司的名称,可能给出特定名称的字母拼写,也可能是已知单词需要自己拼写。

题目解析:本题通过预判答案类型,带着目标听渡轮公司名称,开篇介绍完背景后,随即听到女士 Tammy 咨询“Which ferry company did you use?”,意为“你们用的是哪家渡轮公司?”注意听回答。友人 Paul 回答“There's only one—it's called Northern Ferries.”,意为“只有一家——叫作北方渡轮。”得出 Northern 即答案。

听前预测:定位词为 summer,提示词为 depart seven times per,此处应填描述渡轮发船的频度描述,为时间类名词,注意次数限定是 7 次,因而要选择匹配的时间范围。

题目解析:本题衔接上一题,注意关注对话的推动。女士听完渡轮公司名称后随即提问 “How frequent are they?”,意为“多久发一趟船?”注意等待时间类名词。先听 到 there's only one ferry leaving every evening in summer,意为“夏季每晚只有一 班渡轮出发”,虽然有时间类名词 evening,但频度是一班,不符合题干限定的 seven times,为干扰信息,继续听。男士补充道 seven days a week,意为“每周七天都有”,题干 seven times 换成原文 seven days(每天一趟,故而 7 天则是 7 趟船开出),因而符合题干限定,答案为 week。本题注意题干限定,干扰性较强,注意耐心完整听对话的层次判断最符合题干要求的信息。

听前预测:定位词为 four people、car,提示词为 £,此处应填价格类型数字,内容为四人加私家车的价格。

题目解析:本题女士 Tammy 先提问“Can you remember how much you paid for your tickets?”,意为“你记得船票付了多少吗?”提示答案信息即将出现,注意关注符合要求的数字。随即 Paul 回答“They were really cheap and four people and a car worked out at just under £250.”,意为“真的很便宜,四个人加一辆车算下来还不到 250 英镑。”其中 250 符合题干限定,故为正确答案。继续听,能听到女士补充“I was expecting it to be more like £400 during the peak season.”,意为“我本来以为旺季价格会是 400 英镑。”其中 was expecting 为过去进行时,强调过去这么认为,隐含表达和目前的事实不符,往往后跟干扰信息,注意积累识别。

听前预测:定位词为 cancellation policy、a month,提示词为 receive a,此处应填单数可数且以辅音开头的名词,内容应为提前一个月取消预订能获得的东西。

题目解析:女士 Tammy 提问“What if I had to cancel?”,意为“那我要是不得不取消怎么办?”提示命题相关信息出现,开始识别符合内容方向的名词。随即男士 Paul 回答 I don't think it's their policy to give refunds,意为“我不认为他们的政策支持退款”,注意为否定信息,即干扰,继续听。男士补充 just a voucher—which you can use at a later date,意为“只有一张代金券——这个你可以之后用”,其中 voucher 符合预判方向,试填,继续听。男士强调“But you have to cancel a month in advance to get that.”,意为“但是你必须提前一个月取消才能获得。”完全符合题干给出的信息,进一步确认答案。

听前预测:定位词为 cabins,提示词为 book one with a,此处应填单数可数且以辅音开头的名词,内容为预定的船舱配备的东西。

题目解析:本题定位词男士一开启对话就提及“You'd want to book a cabin too.”,意为“你也会想订一个船舱。”继续听。男士补充道“We booked too late to get a cabin with a window.”,意为“我们订得太晚了,没订到带窗户的船舱。”其中, window 符合预判方向,为正确答案,故填写。

听前预测:定位词为 snacks、children,提示词为 bring、and,此处应填名词,内容为给孩子带的东西。

题目解析:本题定位词 snacks 原词出现,男士评价“The only other thing I can think of is to make sure you bring snacks for the kids.”,意为“另外就是一定要给孩子们带些零食。”注意,很多考生会马上着急找答案,而并列结构的内容,题干信息往往在文本中有扩展性描述,注意耐心带着目的听。男士补充道“The selection on board is quite limited and not that healthy either.”,意为“船上的选择很有限,而且也不那么健康。”指的都是零食,并非并列项,继续听。女士提问“What about wifi on board? Is that any good?”,意为“那无线网络怎么样?还好用吗?” 男士回答“Not really. So it's best to bring some books for them.”,意为“不怎么样。所以最好还是给他们带点书。”其中 books 符合预判方向,故填写。本题定位距离答案相隔两句话,会导致很多着急的考生漏过答案。注意设定止损点完成每一题。

听前预测:定位词为 dog kennels,提示词为 a、is required,此处应填单数可数且以辅音开头的名词,内容为狗舍必需品。

题目解析:定位词由女士 Tammy 先提及“We may need to bring the dog if I can't get anyone to look after him.”,意为“如果找不到照看的人,我们可能把狗带上。”注意带着目标识别,男士回答“The kennels on board are OK—they're quite big—you just need to provide a blanket.”,意为“船上的宠物犬舍还可以——挺大的——你只需要自备一条毯子。”其中 blanket 符合预判方向,故填写。

听前预测:定位词为 in the morning,提示词为 try to see,此处应填名词,内容为早上能看到的东西。

题目解析:上一题女士 Tammy 评价“Sounds good.”结束后,男士提及,They loved being on the sea at night,意为“他们很喜欢晚上待在海上”,注意不符合题干限定时间范围,继续听。男士补充道 and in the morning keeping a lookout for dolphins, 意为“早上还一直留意观察海豚”,其中 dolphins 符合预判方向,故填写。

听前预测:定位词为 Castle,提示词为 visit,此处应填名词或形容词,内容为城堡的名称或描述。

题目解析:女士 Tammy 提问“Where did you go?”,意为“你们去哪玩了?”提示游玩地点,注意识别城堡相关的信息。随即男士回答“Drum Castle.”,意为“德拉姆城堡。”(专有名词音译,意译为“鼓堡”)注意雅思听力中专有名词不给拼写往往是已知的英文单词。女士继续提问“Is that spelt like the instrument?”,意为“这个词是跟那个乐器一样的拼写吗?”男士给出了肯定答复,故而进一步确认答案为 drum,意为“鼓”。

听前预测:定位词为 restaurant、nearby village,提示词为 the,此处应填名词或形容词,内容为某个餐厅的名称或者描述。

题目解析:女士 Tammy 提及定位词“Does it have a restaurant?”,意为“那里有没有餐 馆?”注意识别餐馆方面的信息。男士先否定“It's only got a coffee shop— no restaurant.”意为“只有一家咖啡馆,没有餐馆。”继而补充“We looked up restaurants in the area and found an Italian one in a village nearby.”,意为“我们查了那个地区的餐馆,在附近的一个村子里找到了一家意大利餐厅。”其中 Italian符合餐馆的描述,故为答案。做听力题注意一定不要盯着题干的提示或者定位词,按照题干语序找,原文会有很大程度替换。比如本题 restaurant 一词在答案附近替换为 one,指代前文提及的 restaurant 一词。注意带着目标识别信息,而非盯着找题干结构。
