WOMAN: Good morning. I'm doing a survey of shoppers in Broadbeach. Would you have a few minutes to spare to answer some questions?
MAN: Oh...erm...yes, I guess that would be ok.
WOMAN: Thank you very much. Everybody seems so busy today.
MAN: Well actually I don't have loads of time, so...
WOMAN: Oh yes, of course. It really won't take long. Could I start by taking your name please?
MAN: Martyn Leigh【Q1】. Martyn's with a Y.
WOMAN: And is your family name spelt L-double-E?
MAN: It's L-E-I-G-H.
WOMAN: Thank you. We don't actually publish your name or details. It just makes it easier for me to identify people when I look at all the results at the end.
MAN: I see.
WOMAN: And can I ask, how did you get into town today?
MAN: Well, normally I catch the bus, but I'm on my motorbike【Q2】 today because I'm going to work later.
WOMAN: And could you tell me what you're doing this morning, I mean, the reason for your trip into town?
MAN: I've just been to the hairdresser【Q3】. You see, I have a job interview at the council in a few days.
WOMAN: Oh really! Well, good luck with that.
MAN: Thanks a lot. And now I'm on my way to buy a suit【Q4】 that I can wear to the interview. I don't actually own one at the moment!
WOMAN: OK. Is that everything you're planning to do in town?
MAN: Yeah. Well, I've got to go and pick up my laptop【Q5】. It broke a couple of days ago so I took it to the shop to get it fixed. They had to order a spare part, but apparently it's ready for collection now. I can't wait to get it back.
WOMAN: I'm sure. I hate it when my technology breaks down. ...One more thing, it's Saturday today – is that when you like to do your shopping?
MAN: Well it's more a question of when I'm free. If I'm free on a Monday【Q6】, that's when I choose to come into town. The shops are less busy then, which I always prefer.
WOMAN: So, I'd like to ask you a few more questions to get your views about shopping in Broadbeach, if that's ok.
MAN: Sure. What would you like to know specifically?
WOMAN: What would you say you like best about the shops here?
MAN: I'd probably say it's the service you get wherever you go.
WOMAN: OK. And what do you think about the range of shops in Broadbeach?
MAN: Oh you can get almost anything you want here.
WOMAN: And what about recent changes? What do you like and dislike about them? For example, there are a lot of new coffee【Q7】 shops now, are you enjoying them?
MAN: No, there are too many of them. It's a shame as those places could be occupied by other kinds of shops.
WOMAN: What would you like to see instead?
MAN: Well, I think we have enough clothing shops. But there's only one place that sells books【Q8】 at the moment. It'd be nice to have a choice, you know.
WOMAN: Right. And have you been to the new shopping centre outside Broadbeach yet, Martyn?
MAN: Yes, once or twice. It's not that far from where I live.
WOMAN: It's a very modern-looking building, isn't it?
MAN: Yes, and it's lovely. The glass roof is certainly impressive. But my favourite thing is the plants【Q9】 they've put around the building. They're amazing, and so big already.
WOMAN: And what about the entertainment facilities? Have you used any of them yet? Like the new cinema【Q10】?
MAN: Nah, not yet. I can't see any advantage in having it there because the one in town is actually bigger.
WOMAN: OK, well thank you so much for ...
Complete the form below.
Write ONE WORD ONLY for each answer.
听前预测:定位词和提示词为 Martyn,此处应填受访者的姓氏,搭配 Martyn 一词出现。
题目解析:听到“Could I start by taking your name please?”,意为“我可以先问一下您的名字吗?”提示本题正式开始,注意识别姓氏。回答是“Martyn Leigh. Martyn's with a Y.”,注意本信息为题干已有的名,不需继续。继续听,女士进一步提问:“And is your family name spelt L-double-E?”,意为“那您的姓氏是拼作 L-double-E(Lee)吗?”待定,注意听男士的回答确认。男士随后纠正,It's L-E-I-G-H 表明答案为 Leigh。
听前预测:定位词为 Broadbeach town centre,提示词为 today's journey、used his,此处应填名词,内容应为今天到市中心的旅途使用的对象,多半为交通工具。
题目解析:继续听,识别到女士提问男士“And can I ask, how did you get into town today?”,意为“我能问一下,您今天是怎么进城的?”表明本题正式开始,注意听男士回答。听到“Well, normally I catch the bus, but I'm on my motorbike today because I'm going to work later.”,意为“嗯,我通常是坐公交车的,但今天骑摩托车来的,因为等会儿还要去上班。”其中 normally(通常情况下)搭配的信息 bus 为干扰内容,表明本次不是坐公交,要耐心听完整。随后提及今天用的交通工具是 motorbike,继而解释了原因,故进一步确认答案。注意听力很多题型搭配 normally 这一表达,要观察是否符合题干要求,若出现 today、this time,就提示该内容为干扰信息。
听前预测:提示词为 purpose of today's trip、has visited,此处应填名词,内容应为今日已经到访的地点。
题目解析:继续听,听到女士进一步提问“And could you tell me what you're doing this morning, I mean, the reason for your trip into town?”,意为“能告诉我您今天上午在做什么吗?我的意思是您进城来的原因是什么?”提示本题信息即将开始, 注意带着目标识别。随即听到男士回答“I've just been to the hairdresser. You see, I have a job interview at the council in a few days.”,意为“我刚去了理发店。你看,过几天我要去市政厅参加一场求职面试。”其中 hairdresser 符合预判的方向,为正确答案。注意 hairdresser 在此处翻译为“理发店”而非“理发师”,是因为 go to the hairdresser 是英语中一种以“从业者”代指“营业场所”的转喻用法(类似 go to the doctor 指“去诊所”),在语境中强调“去理发店这个地方接受服务”这一行为,而非特指某一位理发师本人。
听前预测:提示词为 looking for a new,此处应填单数名词,内容为今日行程的第二个目的,在找寻的某个新的对象。
题目解析:随后听到女士评价,“Oh really! Well, good luck with that.”意为“哦,真的啊!那祝你好运。”表明上一层对话信息结束,准备好要识别本题内容。男士回答 “Thanks a lot. And now I'm on my way to buy a suit that I can wear to the interview. I don't actually own one at the moment!”,意为“多谢。我现在正要去买一套西装, 面试的时候可以穿。其实我现在一套都没有!”其中 suit 符合预判方向,是今日行程的第二个目的,故确认为答案词。题干中的 new 为同义替换,原文没有直接出现 new;通过 buy a suit、don't actually own one(目前还没有)体现“新购置”的含义,属于较难识别信息,直接找答案即可。
听前预测:提示词为 collecting、after repair,此处应填名词,内容应为某样维修后的东西。
题目解析:继续听,女士评价 OK,代表上一层对话结束,注意识别后续信息是否有要取回的维修物品。女士继续提问,“Is that everything you're planning to do in town?”意 为“这就是你打算在城里做的所有事了吗?”进一步推动对话。男士回答“I've got to go and pick up my laptop. It broke a couple of days ago so I took it to the shop to get it fixed. They had to order a spare part, but apparently it's ready for collection now. I can’t wait to get it back.”,意为“我得去拿我的笔记本电脑。它几天前坏了,所以我把它送到店里去修。他们得订购一个替换零件,不过现在看来已经修好可以取了。我真等不及要拿回来。”其中 laptop 符合预判方向,为正确答案,填写。其中题干信息 collecting 在答案出现后的第二句原词出现,而题干概念 after repair,音频用 get it fixed 进行同义表达,注意听力做题的主动性,不要盯着题干再去找答案,题干信息往往会被替换,且和答案顺序可能会调换。
听前预测:提示词为 preferred day for shopping,此处应填偏好购物的某天。
题目解析:继续听,女士进一步提问,“…One more thing, it's Saturday today—is that when you like to do your shopping?”意为“……还有一件事,今天是星期六——你是喜欢在周末购物吗?”注意 Saturday 待定,继续耐心听,要等男士确认信 息。随即听到“Well it's more a question of when I'm free. If I'm free on a Monday, that's when I choose to come into town. The shops are less busy then, which I always prefer.”,意为“嗯,这更多是看我什么时候有空。如果我周一有空,那我就会选那天进城。那时候商店没那么拥挤,我一直更喜欢这样。”表明男士偏好的是 Monday,故为正确答案。填空题注意存在干扰信息,提问内容可以先待定,不要着急。
听前预测:定位词为 service in shops,提示词为 too many places selling,此处应名词,内容应为售卖过多的商品。
题目解析:本题先听到女士提及定位信息“What would you say you like best about the shops here?”,意为“这里的商店你最喜欢哪方面?”对应题干 shops,但是命题需要的信息是负面,本句附近回答还是积极信息,因而可以耐心先听完。男士回 答“I'd probably say it's the service you get wherever you go.”,意为“我会选服务, 无论你走到哪里都能享受到。”继续听到“OK. And what do you think about the range of shops in Broadbeach?”,意为“好的。那你怎么看布罗德比奇商店的种类?”注意要开始带着目标识别被男士批评为过多的商品类型。男士回答“Oh you can get almost anything you want here.”,意为“哦,你在这里几乎能买到任何你想要的东西。”并非负面信息,继续听。女士继续提问,“And what about recent changes? What do you like and dislike about them? For example, there are a lot of new coffee shops now, are you enjoying them?”意为“那最近的变化呢?你有什么喜欢和不喜欢的方面吗?比如现在新开了很多咖啡店,你喜欢吗?”其 中 coffee 为某种特定商品,符合预判方向,先待定。男士回答“No, there are too many of them. It's a shame as those places could be occupied by other kinds of shops.”,意为“不喜欢,开太多了。可惜的是,那些地方本来可以被其他类型的商店取代。”其中 too many 对应题干信息 too many places,符合题干限定,进 一步确认 coffee 为正确答案。
听前预测:提示词为 would like more places to buy,此处应填名词,内容应为期待购买的商品。
题目解析:继续听女士提问,推动对话,What would you like to see instead 意为“那你希望看到什么样的商店呢”。男士回答“Well, I think we have enough clothing shops. But there's only one place that sells books at the moment. It'd be nice to have a choice, you know.”,意为“嗯,我觉得我们的服装店已经够多了。但目前只有一个地方卖书。你知道,有更多选择会更好。”其中,clothing 是男士认为已经数量充足的品类,不符合题干“希望有更多”的要求,予以排除;only one place(目 前仅有一处)和 it'd be nice to have a choice(希望多一些选择),共同对应题干 would like more,由此确定 books 为答案。
听前预测:定位词为 out-of-town Shopping Centre,提示词为 likes、best,此处应填名词,内容应为对城外购物中心最偏爱的部分。
题目解析:继续听,女士问“And have you been to the new shopping centre outside Broadbeach yet, Martyn?”,意为“Martyn,你去过布罗德比奇城外那个新购物中心了吗?” 对应题干定位信息 out-of-town shopping centre,注意准备带着目标识别答案。 男士回答“Yes, once or twice. It's not that far from where I live.”,意为“去过一两 次吧。离我住的地方不算远。”没有符合目标的信息。继续听,女士提问,“It's a very modern-looking building, isn’t it?”意为“那是一座看起来很现代的建筑, 对吧?”男士回答“Yes, and it's lovely. The glass roof is certainly impressive. But my favourite thing is the plants they've put around the building. They're amazing, and so big already.”,意为“是的,而且很漂亮。那个玻璃屋顶的确令人印象深刻。但我最喜欢的是他们种在建筑周围的那些植物。它们很惊艳,而且已经长得很大了。”其中先听到夸奖 glass roof,音频只是说“玻璃屋顶令人印象深刻”,并没有说是最喜欢的,语义上不符合 likes...best,所以作为干扰项待定。继续听到 plants,其中文本中 my favourite thing 对应题干的 likes、the best,故确认其为正确答案。
听前预测:提示词为 is unnecessary,此处应填单数或不可数名词,内容为觉得城外购物中心没有存在必要的部分。
题目解析:女士继续提问,推动对话,“And what about the entertainment facilities? Have you used any of them yet? Like the new cinema?”意为“那娱乐设施呢?你用过了吗? 比如那个新电影院?”其中 cinema 符合预判方向,注意听男士回答确认信息。随即听到“Nah, not yet. I can't see any advantage in having it there because the one in town is actually bigger.”,意为“没有,还没去过。我看不出把它建在那里有什么好处,因为城里的那家(电影院)实际上更大。”。表明男士觉得这家电影 院没有存在的必要,对应命题信息 unnecessary,故 cinema 为正确答案。
