一、Discussion on Illustrations of a Book听力原文：

JEREMY:Hello,Helen.

Sorry I’m late.

HELEN:Hi,Jeremy,no problem.

Well we'd better work out where we are on our project,I suppose.

JEREMY:Yeah.

I've looked at the drawings you've done for my story,'The Forest',and I think they're brilliant-they really create the atmosphere I had in mind when I was writing it.

HELEN:I'm glad you like them.

JEREMY:There are just a few suggestions I'd like to make.

HELEN:Go ahead.

JEREMY:NOW,I'm not sure about the drawing of the cave-it's got trees all around it,which is great,but the drawing's a bit too static,isn't it?

I think it needs some action.

HELEN:Yes,there's nothing happening.

Perhaps I should add the boy-Malcolm,isn't it?

He would be walking up to it.

JEREMY:Yes,let's have Malcolm in the drawing.

And what about putting in a tiger-the one that he makes friends with a bit later?

Maybe it could be sitting under a tree washing itself.

HELEN:And the tiger stops in the middle of what it's doing when it sees Malcolm walking past.

JEREMY:That's a good idea.

HELEN:OK,I'll have a go at that.

JEREMY:Then there's the drawing of the crowd of men and women dancing.

They're just outside the forest,and there's a lot going on.

HELEN:That's right,you wanted them to be watching a carnival procession,but I thought it would be too crowded.

Do you think it works like this?

JEREMY:Yes,I like what you've done.

The only thing is,could you add Malcolm to it,without changing what's already there.

HELEN:What about having him sitting on the tree trunk on the right of the picture?

JEREMY:Yes,that would be fine.

HELEN:And do you want him watching the other people?

JEREMY:No,he's been left out of all the fun,so I'd like him to be crying-that'll contrast nicely with the next picture,where he's laughing at the clowns in the carnival.

HELEN:Right,I'll do that.

JEREMY:And then the drawing of the people ice skating in the forest.

HELEN:I wasn't too happy with that one.

Because they're supposed to be skating on grass,aren't they?

JEREMY:That's right,and it's frozen over.

At the moment it doesn't look quite right.

HELEN:Mm,I see what you mean.

I'll have another go at that.

JEREMY:And I like the wool hats they're wearing.

Maybe you could give each of them a scarf,as well.

HELEN:Yeah,that's easy enough.

They can be streaming out behind the people to suggest they're skating really fast.

JEREMY:Mm,great.

Well that's all on the drawings.

HELEN:Right.

So you've finished writing your story and I just need to finish illustrating it,and my story and your drawings are done.

HELEN:So the next thing is to decide what exactly we need to write about in the report that goes with the stories,and how we're going to divide the work.

JEREMY:Right,Helen.

HELEN:What do you think about including a section on how we planned the project as a whole,Jeremy?

That's probably quite important.

JEREMY:Yeah.

Well,you've had most of the good ideas so far.

How do you feel about drafting something,then we can go through it together and discuss it?

HELEN:OK,that seems reasonable.

And I could include something on how we came up with the ideas for our two stories,couldn't I?

JEREMY:Well I've started writing something about that,so why don't you do the same and we can include the two things.

HELEN:Right.

So what about our interpretation of the stories?

Do we need to write about what we think they show,like the value of helping other people,all that sort of thing?

JEREMY:That's going to come up later,isn't it?

I think everyone in the class is going to read each other's stories and come up with their own interpretations,which we're going to discuss.

HELEN:Oh,I missed that.

So it isn't going to be part of the report at all?

JEREMY:No.

But we need to write about the illustrations,because they're an essential element of children's experience of reading the stories.

It's probably easiest for you to write that section,as you know more about drawing than I do.

HELEN:Maybe,but I find it quite hard to write about.

I'd be happier if you did it.

JEREMY:OK.

So when do you think...

二、Discussion on Illustrations of a Book听力中文翻译：

杰里米：你好，海伦。

对不起，我迟到了。

海伦：嗨，杰里米，没问题。

我想我们最好弄清楚我们的项目在哪里。

杰里米：是的。

我看过你为我的故事《森林》所画的画，我认为它们很精彩——它们真的营造了我写作时的氛围。

海伦：我很高兴你喜欢它们。

杰里米：我想提几个建议。

海伦：说吧。

杰里米：现在，我对洞穴的图画不太确定——它周围都是树，这很好，但图画有点太静态了，不是吗？

我认为这需要一些行动。

海伦：是的，什么都没有发生。

也许我应该加上那个男孩——马尔科姆，不是吗？

他会走向它。

杰里米：是的，让马尔科姆参与进来。

那么，放一只老虎——一只他稍后交朋友的老虎——怎么样？

也许它可能坐在树下清洗自己。

海伦：当老虎看到马尔科姆走过时，它在做什么的时候停了下来。

杰里米：这是个好主意。

海伦：好的，我试试看。

杰里米：然后是一群跳舞的男女。

他们就在森林外面，有很多事情要做。

海伦：没错，你想让他们看嘉年华游行，但我觉得太拥挤了。

你觉得这样行吗？

杰里米：是的，我喜欢你所做的。

唯一的问题是，你能把马尔科姆加入其中，而不改变已经存在的东西吗。

海伦：让他坐在照片右边的树干上怎么样？

杰里米：是的，那很好。

海伦：你想让他看着其他人吗？

杰里米：没有，他被排除在所有的乐趣之外，所以我希望他哭——这与下一张照片形成了很好的对比，在那张照片中，他在狂欢节上嘲笑小丑。

海伦：好的，我会的。

杰里米：然后是人们在森林里滑冰的图画。

海伦：我对这个不太满意。

因为他们应该在草地上滑冰，不是吗？

杰里米：没错，而且已经冻住了。

目前看起来不太对劲。

海伦：嗯，我明白你的意思了。

我再试试看。

杰里米：我喜欢他们戴的羊毛帽子。

也许你也可以给他们每人一条围巾。

海伦：是的，这很容易。

他们可能在人群后面跑来跑去，暗示他们滑得真的很快。

杰里米：嗯，太好了。

图纸上都有。

海伦：对。

所以你已经写完了你的故事，我只需要完成说明，我的故事和你的图画就完成了。

海伦：所以下一件事是决定我们需要在与故事相关的报告中具体写些什么，以及我们将如何分配工作。

杰里米：对，海伦。

海伦：杰里米，你觉得把我们如何计划整个项目的部分包括进来怎么样？

这可能非常重要。

杰里米：是的。

嗯，到目前为止，你已经有了大部分好主意。

你觉得起草一些东西怎么样，然后我们可以一起讨论一下？

海伦：好吧，这似乎很合理。

我可以介绍一下我们是如何为这两个故事想出点子的，不是吗？

杰里米：我已经开始写一些关于这方面的东西了，所以你为什么不做同样的事情，我们可以把这两件事包括在内。

海伦：对。

那么我们对这些故事的解读呢？

我们是否需要写下我们认为他们表现出的东西，比如帮助他人的价值，诸如此类的事情？

杰里米：那晚些时候会提到的，不是吗？

我认为班上的每个人都会阅读彼此的故事，并提出自己的解释，我们将讨论这些解释。

海伦：哦，我错过了。

所以它根本就不会成为报告的一部分？

杰里米：没有。

但我们需要写一些插图，因为它们是孩子们阅读故事的基本要素。

对你来说，写这一部分可能是最容易的，因为你比我更了解绘画。

海伦：也许吧，但我觉得很难写。

如果你这样做，我会更高兴。

杰里米：好的。

那么你认为什么时候。

五、Discussion on Illustrations of a Book听力答案解析

21.cave空格前是不定冠词a，考生根据语法知识预测本题应填写名词，注意空格后信息surrounded by trees。录音中提到I am not sure about the drawing of the cave—it’s got trees all around it，确认答案为cave。其中，surrounded by与all around为同义替换。

22.tiger空格前是不定冠词a，考生根据语法知识预测本题应填写名词，利用空格前的并列信息Malcolm定位，录音中提到let’s have Malcolm in the drawing.And what about putting in a tiger，确认答案为tiger。

23.dancing空格前是are，考生根据语法知识预测本题应填写相当于形容词的词汇，利用people,outside the forest定位。录音中提到there’s the drawing of the crowd of men and women dancing.They’re just outside the forest，确定答案为dancing。

24.crying考生根据and这个并列连词前的sitting，预测本题应该填写动名词，利用Malcolm,tree trunk定位。录音中提到I’d like him to be crying，确定本题答案为crying。

25.grass空格前是介词on，考生根据语法知识预测本题应填写名词，利用ice-skaters,covered with ice定位。录音中提到because they are supposed to be skating on grass，故grass为本题答案。

26.scarf空格前是不定冠词a，考生根据语法知识预测本题应填写名词。利用add,each person定位。录音中提到maybe you could give each of them a scarf，确定本题答案为scarf.本题难度在于词汇拼写

27.A根据题干中的planned the project定位。录音中Jeremy对Helen说you’ve had most of the good ideas so far.How do you feel about drafting something。由此可知how they planned the project是由Helen独自完成。故选A。

28.C根据题干中的had ideas for their stories定位。录音中Jeremy对Helen说Well I’ve started writing something about that,so why don’t you do the same and we can include the two things，Helen回答Right。由此可知how they had ideas for their stories是由两个人共同完成。故选C。

29.D根据题干中的an interpretation of their stories定位。录音中提到…everyone in the class is going to read each other’s stories and come up with their own interpretations。由此可知an interpretation of their stories是由班里的同学完成，并非由Jeremy或Helen完成。故选D。

30.B根据题干中的comments on the illustrations定位。录音中Helen对Jeremy说I’d be happy if you did it。由此可知comments on the illustrations是由Jeremy独自完成。故答案为B。
