Water Heater剑桥雅思9听力-原文翻译及答案解析

一、Water Heater听力原文：

MAN:Hello?

WOMAN:Hi.

It's Laura Carlton here.

We've just arrived at the holiday flat,but I can't get the hot water and heating to work.

MAN:Oh right!

That's easy.

Don't worry.

In the upstairs cupboard,you'll find the water heater.

You'll see three main controls on the left at the bottom of the heater.

The first one-the round one on the far left-is the most important one for the heating and hot water.

It's the main control switch.

Make sure it's in the'on'position.

The switch itself doesn't light up,but the little square below will be black if the switch is off.

That's probably what's happened-it's got switched off by mistake.

The middle one of these three controls-you'll see it's slightly larger than the first one–controls the radiators.

If you feel cold while you're there and need the radiators on,this needs to be turned to maximum.

The last of the three controls–the one on the right-is usually on about a number four setting which for the water in the taps is usually quite hot enough.

Below the heating controls in the middle is a small round Plastic button.

If there isn't enough water in the pipes,sometimes the heater goes out.

If this happens you'll need to press this button to reset the heater.

Hold it in for about five seconds and the heater should come on again.

Then there's a little square indicator under the third knob that's a kind of alarm light.

It’ll flash if you need to reset the heater.

WOMAN:It sounds complicated...

MAN:I'm sure you won't have any problems with it.

There should be some more instructions on the side of the heater.

Call me back if you can’t make it work.

WOMAN:Okay.

WOMAN:While you're on the phone,we haven't managed to find a few things we need,like extra pillows for the beds and some washing powder.

Is there any here?

MAN:Pillows...

yes.

If you look in the cupboard,the large white one upstairs-to the left of the bathroom door-there should be four or five on the top shelf.

And if you want to do some washing,there's some powder for that...

probably by the back door.

There's a kind of shelf there above the sink.

In fact,I'm sure there's some there,in a large blue box.

You need about half a cup full for each wash.

And that reminds me,the spare key to the back door is hanging on a hook on the wall by the sitting room window.

Please make sure to put it back when you've used it.

The previous guests lost it in the garden and I had to get another one made!

And if you have any trouble with the lamps,you'll find some spare bulbs in a large cardboard box.

It's on top of the washing machine with all kinds of useful things in it.

Oh,and another thing I forgot to mention when we last spoke...

WOMAN:Yes?

MAN:I’ve left you a local map,so you'll be able to find your way around easily.

It shows the whole area.

I put it in the top drawer of the chest under the TV in your bedroom.

There's a whole file of local information in there too.

WOMAN:Thanks.

What about visiting the town?

Can you give us any advice?

MAN:Yes.

You'll need to take the car.

It's too far to walk from the flat really.

You have to pay to leave your car in all the car parks now I'm afraid...

I like the one that's by the station best and you can walk to the town centre from there in five minutes.

That's where all the best restaurants are.

But if you want a takeaway,the Italian one does really good pasta and pizzas.

Call 7-3 double 2.8-1 for that one,or 7 double 6,double 1.9 for the Chinese.

They're both good and they'll both deliver to the flat.

As for places to visit,yes,do go and see the railway museum.

The exhibition is small but really good.

It gets very crowded on Sundays,so I suggest you visit it on a quieter day,later in the week,but not on Thursdays which is market day-you won't find anywhere to park and it's also the only day of the week when they're not open!

Anything else?

WOMAN:Not for the moment.

Thanks!

二、Water Heater听力中文翻译：

男：喂？

女士：嗨。

我是劳拉·卡尔顿。

我们刚到度假公寓，但我不能让热水和暖气工作。

男人：哦，对了！

这很简单。

别担心。

在楼上的橱柜里，你会找到热水器。

您将在加热器底部的左侧看到三个主控件。

第一个——最左边的圆形——是供暖和热水最重要的一个。

这是主控制开关。

确保它处于“开”位置。

开关本身不会亮起，但如果开关关闭，下面的小正方形将为黑色。

这可能就是发生的情况——它被错误地关掉了。

这三个控件中的中间一个（你会看到它略大于第一个）控制散热器。

如果你在那里感到冷，需要打开暖气片，则需要将其调到最大程度。

三个控制装置中的最后一个——右边的那个——通常设置在四号左右，水龙头里的水通常都很热。

在中间的加热控制装置下方是一个小的圆形塑料按钮。

如果水管里没有足够的水，有时热水器就会熄火。

如果发生这种情况，您需要按此按钮重置加热器。

保持约五秒钟，加热器应再次启动。

然后在第三个旋钮下面有一个小方形指示器，它是一种报警灯。

如果你需要重置加热器，它会闪烁。

女人：听起来很复杂。。。

男：我相信你不会有任何问题的。

加热器侧面应该有更多说明。

如果你做不到，请给我回电话。

女士：好的。

女士：当你在打电话时，我们还没有找到一些我们需要的东西，比如额外的枕头和洗衣粉。

这里有吗？

男人：枕头。。。

对

如果你往橱柜里看，楼上的白色大橱柜——浴室门的左边——最上面的架子上应该有四到五个。

如果你想洗衣服，这里有一些洗衣粉。。。

可能在后门。

水槽上方有一种架子。

事实上，我肯定有一些，在一个蓝色的大盒子里。

每次洗漱大约需要半杯水。

这提醒了我，后门的备用钥匙挂在客厅窗户旁边墙上的挂钩上。

请确保用完后放回原处。

之前的客人在花园里把它弄丢了，我不得不再弄一个！

如果你对这些灯有任何问题，你会在一个大纸箱里找到一些备用灯泡。

它在洗衣机的顶部，里面装着各种有用的东西。

哦，还有一件事我上次说话时忘了提。。。

女人：是吗？

男：我给你留了一张本地地图，这样你就可以很容易地找到自己的路了。

它显示了整个区域。

我把它放在你卧室电视机下箱子的最上面的抽屉里。

那里也有一个完整的本地信息文件。

女士：谢谢。

去城里看看怎么样？

你能给我们一些建议吗？

男：是的。

你需要开车。

从公寓走出去实在太远了。

恐怕现在你得付钱才能把车停在所有的停车场里。。。

我最喜欢车站旁边的那家，你可以从那里步行五分钟到市中心。

那是所有最好的餐厅。

但是如果你想要外卖，意大利的那家做的意大利面和披萨真的很好吃。

打7-3 double 2.8-1换那个，或打7 double 6，double 1。9对于中国人。

他们都很好，都会送到公寓。

至于参观的地方，是的，一定要去看看铁路博物馆。

展览虽小，但确实很好。

星期天会很拥挤，所以我建议你在一周的晚些时候，在一个比较安静的日子去参观，但不要在星期四，也就是集市日——你找不到停车的地方，而且这也是一周中唯一一天他们不开放！

还有别的吗？

女士：现在不行。

谢谢

五、Water Heater听力答案解析

11.B录音一开始有大量与题目关系很小的介绍性信息，并未开始介绍热水器的使用，直到录音出现The first one—the round one on the far left...判断出本题答案即将出现，从后面一句It’s the main control switch,确定答案为B。

12.C紧接11题录音做了很多解释，其中，多次出现switch都提示考生这些信息是在对control switch进行解释。紧接着出现了一个middle容易让考生误认为是介绍本题中所对应的按钮，但录音中传出controls the radiators，即为第一排的按钮。后面一句Below the heating control in the middle...判断出为本题所指的按钮，后面一句传出...press this button to reset...可确定答案为C。

13.E录音中的...a little square indicator under the third knob...暗示考生本题出现，紧接着出现录音alarm light，alarm就是选项中warning的替换词，所以可确定答案为E。

14.B作为第一道配对题，考生很容易听到题干中的pillows，男士回答Pillows...yes，此处录音中有很明显的停顿。考生可以从后面立即出现的If you look into the cupboard...中找到答案。

注意录音中有明显停顿的后一句多包含正确答案。

15.E定位题干的washing powder，录音中And if you want to do some washing,there’s some washing powder...出现题干中的定位词，后面传出的...by the back door.There’s a kind of shelf...。两部分中的信息提到了选项E中的shelf和back door。后面的...in a large blue box可能会干扰考生，误导其选A，但是录音并没有提到A选项中的washing machine。

16.D该题的陷阱在于录音中提及的key紧挨着to the back door，容易让考生误认为答案为E。

实际上，这个介词短语是修饰key的，本句的主干实则为key is hanging by the sitting room window，其中by和选项D中的next to为同义替换。

17.A录音中的And if you have any trouble with the lamps...暗示考生题干light bulb即将出现。

紧接着录音出现...you’ll find some spare bulbs in a large cardboard box.It’s on top of the washing

machine.。本题难度不大，只要听到bulb的发音，必然会听到选项A中的两个核心词，后面的录音也未出现任何干扰信息。

18.C录音中的...another thing I forgot to mention...提示考生新的信息即将出现，结果回答的录音传出I’ve left you a local map，即出现题干定位词，后面出现I put it in the top drawer of the chest...可以确定答案，与17题一样，答案定位处左右并未出现任何干扰信息。

19.732281用卷面上的表达，如best place，park，town，station，phone，takeaway pizza，来帮助我们定位。继18题答案后，考生听到What about visiting the town?提示后文讨论的将是本题的内容。但在本题答案出现前有很多干扰信息存在，所以需要考生弱听此部分内容。在听到题干中最后一个定位词pizzas后就听到电话号码，但困扰考生的是录音读出两个号码，考生都应该做好记录。在第一个号码前提及了But if you want a takeaway,the Italian one does really good pasta and pizzas.，可知题干中提及的takeaway指的就是该号码，并非后面提到的for the Chinese。

20.Thursday(s)该题通过空格前的信息，判断出应该是需要考生定位博物馆闭馆的日期。首次听到含有日期的句子为...very crowded on Sundays...可知并非闭馆日。紧接着出现...not on Thursdays...和解释the only day...when they’re not open!可确定答案。
