一、Events of a Festival听力原文:
ROB:Good morning.
Stretton Festival box office.
How can I help you?
MELANIE:Oh,hello.
My family and I are on holiday in the area,and we've seen some posters about the festival this week.
Could you tell me about some of the events,please?
ROB:Of course.
MELANIE:First of all,are there still tickets available for the jazz band on Saturday?
ROB:There are,but only(Example)£15.
The£12 seats have all been sold.
MELANIE:OK.
And the venue is the school,isn't it?
ROB:Yes,that's right,the secondary school.
Make sure you don't go to the primary school by mistake!
And there's an additional performer who isn't mentioned on the posters-Carolyn Hart is going to play with the band.
MELANIE:Oh,I think I've heard her on the radio.
Doesn't she play the oboe,or flute or something?
ROB:Yes the flute.
She usually plays with symphony orchestras,and apparently this is her first time with a jazz band.
MELANIE:Well,I'd certainly like to hear her.
Then the next thing I want to ask about is the duck races-I saw a poster beside a river.
What are they,exactly?
ROB:Well,you buy a yellow plastic duck-or as many as you like-they're a pound each.
And you write your name on each one.
There'll be several races,depending on the number of ducks taking part.
And John Stevens,a champion swimmer who lives locally,is going to start the races.
All the ducks will be launched into the river at the back of the cinema,then they'll float along the river for 500 metres,as far as the railway bridge.
MELANIE:And are there any prizes?
ROB:Yes,the first duck in each race to arrive at the finishing line wins its owner free tickets for the concert on the last night of the festival.
MELANIE:You said you can buy a duck?
I'm sure my children will both want one.
ROB:They're on sale at a stall in the market.
You can't miss it-it's got an enormous sign showing a couple of ducks.
MELANIE:OK.
I'll go there this afternoon.
I remember walking past there yesterday.
Now could you tell me something about the flower show,please?
ROB:Well,admission is free,and the show is being held in Bythwaite Hall.
MELANIE:Sorry,how do you spell that?
ROB:B-Y-T-H-W-A-I-T-E.
Bythwaite.
MELANIE:Is it easy to find?
I'm not very familiar with the town yet.
ROB:Oh,you won't have any problem.
It's right in the centre of Stretton.
It's the only old building in the town,so it's easy to recognise.
MELANIE:I know it.
I presume it's open all day.
ROB:Yes,but if you'd like to see the prizes being awarded for the best flowers,you'll need to be there at 5 o'clock.
The prizes are being given by a famous actor,Kevin Shapless.
He lives nearby and gets involved in a lot of community events.
MELANIE:Gosh,I've seen him on TV.
I'll definitely go to the prize-giving.
ROB:Right.
MELANIE:I've seen a list of plays that are being performed this week,and I'd like to know which are suitable for my children,and which ones my husband and I might go to.
ROB:How old are your children?
MELANIE:Five and seven.
What about'The Mystery of Muldoon'?
ROB:That's aimed at five to ten-year-olds.
MELANIE:So if I take my children,I can expect them to enjoy it more than I do?
ROB:I think so.
If you'd like something for yourself and your husband,and leave your children with a babysitter,you might like to see'Fire and Flood'-it's about events that really happened in Stretton two hundred years ago,and children might find it rather frightening.
MELANIE:Oh,thanks for the warning.
And finally,what about'Silly Sailor'?
ROB:That's a comedy,and it's for young and old.
In fact,it won an award in the Stretton Drama Festival a couple of months ago.
MELANIE:OK.
Well,goodbye,and thanks for all the information.
I'm looking forward to the festival!
ROB:Goodbye.
二、Events of a Festival听力中文翻译:
罗伯:早上好。
斯特拉顿电影节票房。
我能为您做些什么?
梅勒妮:噢,你好。
我和我的家人正在这个地区度假,我们本周看到了一些关于这个节日的海报。
你能告诉我一些活动的情况吗?
罗布:当然。
梅勒妮:首先,周六的爵士乐队还有票吗?
罗布:有,但只有(举例)£15
这个£12个座位全部售出。
梅勒妮:好的。
地点是学校,不是吗?
罗布:是的,没错,中学。
确保你没有误上小学!
海报上没有提到另一位表演者——卡罗琳·哈特将与乐队合作。
梅勒妮:哦,我想我在收音机里听到过她的声音。
她不会吹双簧管或长笛之类的吗?
罗布:是的,笛子。
她通常与交响乐团合作,显然这是她第一次与爵士乐队合作。
梅兰妮:嗯,我当然想听她说。
接下来我想问的是鸭子比赛——我在河边看到了一张海报。
它们到底是什么?
罗伯:嗯,你买一只黄色的塑料鸭——或者你喜欢多少就买多少——每只一磅。
你在每一个上面写上你的名字。
根据参赛鸭子的数量,将有几场比赛。
住在当地的游泳冠军约翰·史蒂文斯将开始比赛。
所有的鸭子都将被放进电影院后面的河里,然后它们将沿着河漂流500米,直到铁路桥。
梅勒妮:还有奖品吗?
罗布:是的,每场比赛中第一只到达终点线的鸭子赢得了节日最后一晚音乐会的免费门票。
梅勒妮:你说你可以买只鸭子?
我相信我的孩子们都会想要一个。
罗伯:它们在市场的一个摊位上打折。
你不会错过的,它有一个巨大的标牌,上面有两只鸭子。
梅勒妮:好的。
我今天下午去那里。
我记得昨天走过那里。
现在你能告诉我一些关于花展的事吗?
罗伯:嗯,入场是免费的,演出在拜思威特大厅举行。
梅勒妮:对不起,这个怎么拼?
罗伯:B-Y-T-H-W-A-I-T-E。
拜思威特。
梅勒妮:很容易找到吗?
我对这个城镇还不是很熟悉。
罗布:哦,你不会有任何问题的。
就在斯特雷顿市中心。
这是镇上唯一的旧建筑,所以很容易辨认。
梅勒妮:我知道。
我想它整天都在营业。
罗布:是的,但如果你想看到最佳鲜花获奖,你需要在5点钟赶到那里。
奖项由著名演员凯文·夏普利斯颁发。
他住在附近,参加了许多社区活动。
梅勒妮:天哪,我在电视上见过他。
我一定会去参加颁奖典礼。
罗布:对。
梅勒妮:我看了一系列本周正在上演的戏剧,我想知道哪些适合我的孩子,哪些适合我丈夫和我。
罗布:你的孩子多大了?
梅勒妮:五加七。
那《马尔登之谜》呢?
罗布:那是针对五到十岁的孩子的。
梅勒妮:所以如果我带上我的孩子,我可以期望他们比我更享受它?
罗布:我想是的。
如果你想为自己和丈夫买点什么,把孩子交给保姆照看,你可能会喜欢看《火灾和洪水》——这部电影讲述的是200年前发生在斯特拉顿的真实事件,孩子们可能会觉得很可怕。
梅勒妮:噢,谢谢你的警告。
最后,“愚蠢的水手”怎么办?
罗布:那是一部喜剧,适合年轻人和老年人。
事实上,它在几个月前的斯特拉顿戏剧节上获得了一个奖项。
梅勒妮:好的。
好了,再见,谢谢你提供的所有信息。
我很期待这个节日!
罗伯:再见。

五、Events of a Festival听力答案解析
1.secondary本题采用了信息干扰的出题手段,在给出the secondary school这个答案后,录音中紧接着出现了make sure you don’t go to the primary school by mistake。信息干扰是雅思听力考试常用的出题手段,考生一定要注意录音中出现的否定类信息。
2.flute考生完全可以根据卷面的band(乐队)和play the这两个已知信息预判出答案为乐器的名称,录音中给出了明确的答案flute。另外,空格前的人名Carolyn Hart可以作为定位词帮助我们更好地确定答案位置。诸如人名、地名、书名等首字母大写的信息在录音中被转换的概率极低,是很好的定位词。另外,乐器类词汇是中国考生词汇方面的一个短板,大家应该在备考时注意补充这些重要的场景词汇。
3.cinema本题的难度稍大,空格前的start behind the…在录音中被替换为all the ducks will be launched into the river at the back of the…,故答案为cinema。如果想精确定位到考点,考生要听出两个关键转换:start与be launched为同义转换;behind与at the back of为同义转换。
4.concert当女士问道And are there any prizes?时,考生就应该知道录音这时已经进入到第4题的范围,并且在男士接下来的回答中一定会出现本题的答案。那么当男士说“…free tickets for the concert…”时,考生就能很顺利地写下答案concert。
5.market本题根据bought这个词可以预判考点词为购物场所。录音中提到They’re on sale at a stall in the market。然而本题很可能会有考生错写成store,因为考生一旦将stall(货摊)听成store,会认为store完全符合题目要求。其实stall为开放式的临时售货摊,是不能和介词“in”搭配的;而且,这位女士想知道买小鸭子的具体地点,光说在一个“货摊”可以买到等于没说。因此,本题的答案只能是market。
6.Bythwaite本题的考查意图和姓名拼写题一样,都是测试考生听写英文字母的能力。由于“Hall”的首字母为大写,考生可以判断这是一个专有名词,“hall”在录音中一定原文重现,因此定位考点词是很容易的。原文提到the show is being held in Bythwaite Hall,故答案为Bythwaite。
7.actor由于可以提前预判考点词为“人”,并且本题并没有干扰信息,所以基本是送分题。录音中提到The prizes are being given by a famous actor,其中famous与well-known为同义替换。本题唯一需要注意的是不要将actor拼写成acter。
8.A和所有的非填空类题目一样,配对题主要依赖词汇替换。根据题干关键词The Mystery of Muldoon定位。录音中提到That’s aimed at five-to-ten-year-olds。A选项中的核心词汇children在录音中被转换为five-to-ten-year-olds。故答案为A。
9.B根据题干关键词Fire and Flood定位。录音中提到for yourself and your husband…you might like to see‘Fire and Flood’,B选项中的adults在录音中被替换为yourself and your husband。故答案为B。本题比上一题稍难,因为考官在这里设计了干扰信息children。在说完建议这位女士和其丈夫去观看之后,这位男士随后加了一句…children might find it rather frightening“如果孩子可能觉得这出戏相当令人恐惧”,那么自然是建议这出戏主要适合成年人了。考生要注意:千万不要认为录音中后面的信息比前面的更可能是答案,因为在雅思听力考试中,考官在设计录音时经常刻意地在答案句的后面加上干扰信息。
10.C根据题干关键词Silly Sailor定位。录音中提到it’s for young and old。young and old与C选项中的people of all ages为同义替换,故答案为C。
