Collections of a Museum剑桥雅思11听力-原文翻译及答案解析

一、Collections of a Museum听力原文：

Good morning,and welcome to the museum-one with a remarkable range of exhibits,which I'm sure you'll enjoy.

My name's Greg,and I'll tell you about the various collections as we go round.

But before we go,let me just give you a taste of what we have here.

Well,for one thing,we have a fine collection of twentieth and twenty-first century paintings,many by very well-known artists.

I'm sure you'll recognise several of the paintings.

This is the gallery that attracts the largest number of visitors,so it's best to go in early in the day,before the crowds arrive.

Then there are the nineteenth-century paintings.

The museum was opened in the middle of that century,and several of the artists each donated one work-to get the museum started,as it were.

So they're of special interest to us-we feel closer to them than to other works.

The sculpture gallery has a number of fine exhibits,but I'm afraid it's currently closed for refurbishment.

You'll need to come back next year to see it properly,but a number of the sculptures have been moved to other Darts of the museum.

'Around the world'is a temporary exhibition-you've probably seen something about it on TV or in the newspapers.

It's created a great deal of interest,because it presents objects from every continent and many countries,and provides information about their social context-why they were made,who for,and so on.

Then there's the collection of coins.

This is what you might call a focused,specialist collection,because all the coins come from this country,and were produced between two thousand and a thousand years ago.

And many of them were discovered by ordinary people digging their gardens,and donated to the museum!

All our porcelain and glass was left to the museum by its founder,when he died in 1878.

And in the terms of his will,we're not allowed to add anything to that collection:he believed it was perfect in itself,and we don't see any reason to disagree!

OK,that was something about the collections,and now here's some more practical information,in case you need it.

Most of the museum facilities are downstairs,in the basement,so you go down the stairs here.

When you reach the bottom of the stairs,you'll find yourself in a sitting area,with comfortable chairs and sofas where you can have a rest before continuing your exploration of the museum.

We have a very good restaurant,which serves excellent food all day,in a relaxing atmosphere.

To reach it,when you get to the bottom of the stairs,go straight ahead to the far side of the sitting area,then turn right into the corridor.

You'll see the door of the restaurant facing you.

If you just want a snack,or if you'd like to eat somewhere with facilities for children,we also have a café.

When you reach the bottom of the stairs,you'll need to go straight ahead,turn right into the corridor,and the caféis immediately on the right.

And talking about children,there are baby-changing facilities downstairs:cross the sitting area,continue straight ahead along the corridor on the left,and you and your baby will find the facilities on the left-hand side.

The cloakroom,where you should leave coats,umbrellas and any large bags,is on the left hand side of the sitting area.

It's through the last door before you come to the corridor.

There are toilets on every floor,but in the basement they're the first rooms on the left when you get down there.

OK,now if you've got anything to leave in the cloakroom,please do that now,and then we'll start our tour.

二、Collections of a Museum听力中文翻译：

早上好，欢迎来到博物馆，这里有各种各样的展品，我相信你会喜欢的。

我的名字是格雷格，我会告诉你我们周围的各种收藏品。

但在我们走之前，让我先让你尝尝我们这里有什么。

首先，我们有一批二十世纪和二十一世纪的精美画作，其中许多都是非常著名的艺术家所作。

我相信你会认出几幅画的。

这是吸引游客最多的画廊，所以最好在一天的早些时候，在人群到来之前就进去。

还有十九世纪的绘画。

该博物馆于那个世纪中叶开馆，几位艺术家每人捐赠了一件作品，使博物馆得以开馆。

因此，我们对它们特别感兴趣——我们觉得与它们的关系比与其他作品的关系更密切。

这座雕塑画廊有许多精美的展品，但恐怕目前已关闭进行整修。

明年你们需要回来好好看一看，但许多雕塑已经被移到了博物馆的其他展区。

“环游世界”是一个临时展览，你可能在电视或报纸上看到过一些关于它的东西。

它引起了人们极大的兴趣，因为它展示了来自各大洲和许多国家的物体，并提供了有关它们的社会背景的信息——它们为什么被制造出来，为谁制造，等等。

然后是收集硬币。

这就是你可以称之为集中的、专业的收藏，因为所有的硬币都来自这个国家，并且是在2000年到1000年前生产的。

其中许多是普通人在挖掘花园时发现的，并捐赠给了博物馆！

我们所有的瓷器和玻璃都是由博物馆的创始人在1878年去世时留给博物馆的。

按照他的意愿，我们不允许在这个收藏中添加任何东西：他认为它本身是完美的，我们没有理由不同意！

好的，这是一些关于集合的信息，现在这里有一些更实用的信息，以备您需要。

博物馆的大部分设施都在楼下，在地下室，所以你可以从这里下楼。

当你走到楼梯底部时，你会发现自己在一个休息区，那里有舒适的椅子和沙发，在继续探索博物馆之前，你可以在那里休息一下。

我们有一家非常好的餐厅，在轻松的气氛中全天供应美味的食物。

要到达它，当你走到楼梯的底部时，直走到休息区的另一边，然后右转进入走廊。

你会看到餐厅的门对着你。

如果你只想吃零食，或者你想在有儿童设施的地方吃饭，我们还有一家咖啡馆。

当你到达楼梯底部时，你需要一直往前走，右转进入走廊，咖啡馆就在右边。

说到孩子，楼下有婴儿更衣设施：穿过休息区，沿着左边的走廊一直往前走，你和你的孩子就会在左手边找到这些设施。

衣帽间位于起居区的左手边，你应该把外套、雨伞和大包放在这里。

在你走到走廊之前，它穿过最后一扇门。

每一层都有厕所，但在地下室，当你下到那里时，它们是左边的第一个房间。

好的，现在如果你有什么东西要留在衣帽间，请现在就做，然后我们开始我们的旅行。

五、Collections of a Museum听力答案解析

11.E根据题干20th-and 21st-century paintings定位。录音中提到this is the gallery that attracts the largest number of visitors。正如大多数配对题一样，本题也是考查考生理解不同表达方式的能力：largest number of visitors与E选项中的the most popular exhibits为同义替换。故答案为E。

12.D根据题干19th-century paintings定位。本题中的转换方式是将卷面的被动语态转换为录音中的主动语态，即录音中的several of the artists each donated one work相当于D选项中的some items given by the artists。其中donate与give为同义替换；work与item为同义替换。故答案为D。

13.G根据题干Sculptures定位。录音中的a number of the sculptures have been moved to other parts of the museum…相当于G选项中的has had some of its contents relocated。其中move与relocate为同义替换。故答案为G。

14.B根据题干’Around the world’exhibition定位。录音中的You’ve probably seen some about it on TV or in the newspapers相当于B选项中的was recently publicized in the media。其中TV,newspaper与media为同义替换。故答案为B。卷面的publicise（宣传）在录音中并没有直接的替换词，而是被包含在这句话的意思中。

15.C根据题干Coins定位。录音中的many of them were discovered by ordinary people digging their gardens and donated to the museum相当于C选项的some items given by members of the public。其中donate与give为同义替换；ordinary people与members of the public（民众）为同义替换。故答案为C。

16.A根据题干Porcelain and glass定位。录音中的all our porcelain and glass was left to the museum by its founder相当于A选项中的was given by one person。其中founder对应one person。这里的founder（创始人）为单数，当然是“一个人”。而且后面的录音又说到“根据他的遗嘱，我们不能增加任何东西”，所以，瓷器和玻璃展品肯定是来自创始人“一个人”。故答案为A。

17.F雅思听力考试的地图题有静态和动态两种，该地图题为动态地图题，即录音中有对于行走路线的描述。为了准确找到正确的房间，考生应该及时准确地跟随录音中对于路线的描述。根据题干restaurant定位，本题的关键路线为：“get to the bottom of the stairs”;“go straight ahead to the far side of the sitting area”;“turn right into the corridor”;“see the door of the restaurant facing you”。几个核心方位类短语：go straight ahead（直走），far side（远端），facing you（面朝着你）。

18.H根据题干café定位，本题的关键路线为：“reach the bottom of the stairs”;“go straight ahead”;“turn right into the corridor”;“the caféis immediately on the right”。核心的方位类短语：immediately on the right（紧接着你的右边）。特别提醒：immediately这个词大多数考生只知道“立刻，马上”这个意思，但是在地图题中，这个词表示位置而不是时间概念，相当于中文的“紧靠的，紧接着的”。

19.C根据题干baby-changing facilities定位，本题的关键路线为：“cross the sitting area”;“continue straight ahead along the corridor along the left”;“facilities on the left-hand side”。核心的方位类词汇和短语：cross（穿过），left-hand side（左手边）。

20.B根据题干cloakroom定位，本题的关键路线为：“on the left-hand side of the sitting area”;“through the last door before you come to the corridor”。关键的方位类短语：last door（最后一个门），before you come to the corridor（在你到达走廊之前）。
