Parks and Open Spaces剑桥雅思9-听力原文翻译及答案解析

一、Parks and Open Spaces听力原文：

Hello,I'm delighted to welcome you to our Wildlife Club,and very pleased that you're interested in the countryside and the plants and creatures of this area.

I think you'll be surprised at the variety we have here,even though we're not far from London.

I'll start by telling you about some of the parks and open spaces nearby.

One very pleasant place is Halland Common.

This has been public land for hundreds of years,and what you'll find interesting is that the River Ouse,which flows into the sea eighty kilometres away,has its source in the common.

There's an information board about the plants and animals you can see here,and by the way,the common is accessible 24 hours a day.

Then there's Holt Island,which is noted for its great range of trees.

In the past willows were grown here commercially for basket-making,and this ancient craft has recently been reintroduced.

The island is only open to the public from Friday to Sunday,because it's quite small,and if there were people around every day,much of the wildlife would keep away.

From there it's just a short walk across the bridge to Longfield Country Park.

Longfield has a modern replica of a farm from over two thousand years ago.

Children's activates are often arranged there,like bread-making and face-painting.

The park is only open during daylight hours,so bear that in mind if you decide to go there.

Longfield Park has a programme of activities throughout the year,and to give you a sample,this is what's happening in the next few days.

On Monday you can learn about herbs,and how they've been used over the centuries.

You'll start with a tour of our herb garden,practise the technique of using them as colour dyes for cloth,and listen to an illustrated talk about their use in cooking and medicine.

Then on Wednesday you can join local experts to discover the variety of insects and birds that appear in the evening.

We keep to a small number of people in the group,so if you want to go you'll need to phone the park ranger a few days ahead.

There's a small charge,which you should pay when you turn up.

I'm sure you're all keen to help with the practical task of looking after the park,so on Saturday you can join a working party.

You’ll have a choice of all sorts of activities,from planting hedges to picking up litter,so you'll be able to change from one to another when you feel like it.

The rangers will be hard at work all day,but do come and join in even for just a short while.

One thing,though,is to make sure you're wearing something that you don't mind getting dirty or torn.

And finally I'd like to tell you about our new wildlife area,Hinchingbrooke Park,which will be opened to the public next month.

This slide doesn't really indicate how big it is,but anyway,you can see the two gates into the park,and the main paths.

As you can see,there's a lake in the north west of the park,with a bird hide to the west of it at the end of a path.

So it'll be a nice quiet place for watching the birds on the lake.

Fairly close to where refreshments are available,there’s a dog-walking area in the southern part of the park,leading off from the path.

And if you just want to sit and relax,you can go to the flower garden;

that's the circular area on the map surrounded by paths.

And finally,there's a wooded area in the western section of the park,between two paths.

Okay,that's enough from me,so let’s go on to...

二、Parks and Open Spaces听力中文翻译：

你好，我很高兴欢迎你加入我们的野生动物俱乐部，也很高兴你对这个地区的乡村和植物和生物感兴趣。

我想你会对我们这里的多样性感到惊讶，尽管我们离伦敦不远。

首先，我会告诉你附近的一些公园和开放空间。

一个非常令人愉快的地方是哈兰公共区。

数百年来，这里一直是公共土地，你会发现有趣的是，80公里外流入大海的乌斯河有着共同的源头。

这里有一个关于植物和动物的信息板，你可以在这里看到，顺便说一下，这个公共区域每天24小时都可以访问。

还有霍尔特岛，它以树木众多而闻名。

过去，柳树在这里商业化种植是为了制作篮子，这种古老的工艺最近又被重新引入。

该岛只在星期五至星期天对公众开放，因为它很小，如果每天都有人在附近，很多野生动物都会远离它。

从那里步行很短就可以过桥到朗菲尔德国家公园。

朗菲尔德拥有一座两千多年前农场的现代复制品。

孩子们的活动经常安排在那里，比如做面包和画脸。

公园只在白天开放，所以如果你决定去那里，请记住这一点。

朗菲尔德公园全年都有一个活动计划，给你一个例子，这就是接下来几天发生的事情。

周一，你可以了解草药，以及几个世纪以来它们是如何被使用的。

首先，您将参观我们的草药园，练习将其用作布料染色剂的技术，并聆听有关其在烹饪和医药中的使用的插图演讲。

然后在周三，你可以与当地专家一起发现晚上出现的各种昆虫和鸟类。

我们团队中只有少数人，所以如果你想去，你需要提前几天给公园管理员打电话。

有一小笔费用，你来的时候应该付。

我相信你们都很乐意帮助完成照看公园的实际任务，所以星期六你们可以加入一个工作小组。

你可以选择各种各样的活动，从种植树篱到捡拾垃圾，所以你可以在你喜欢的时候从一种活动切换到另一种活动。

流浪者队将全天努力工作，但即使只是短暂的一段时间，也一定要来参加。

不过，有一件事是要确保你穿的衣服不介意弄脏或撕破。

最后，我想告诉你我们新的野生动物保护区欣青布鲁克公园的情况，该公园将于下个月向公众开放。

这张幻灯片并没有真正表明它有多大，但无论如何，你可以看到公园的两个大门和主要道路。

正如你所看到的，公园的西北部有一个湖，一条小路的尽头有一只鸟躲在湖的西面。

所以这将是一个很好的安静的地方，可以在湖面上看鸟。

公园的南部有一个遛狗区，从小径出发，离提供点心的地方很近。

如果你只是想坐下来放松一下，你可以去花园；

这是地图上被路径包围的圆形区域。

最后，在公园的西段，两条小路之间有一片森林地带。

好了，我受够了，让我们继续

五、Parks and Open Spaces听力答案解析

11.trees听到介绍Holt Island时，重点应放在空格前的many different这一修饰词上。当听到...Holt Island,which is noted for its great range of trees.时，可以确定many different是对great range of的同义替换。所以答案为复数名词trees。

12.Friday/Sunday根据录音中的The island is only open to the public from Friday to Sunday...可知答案。

13.farm本题的定位词为Longfield Country Park，听到这个信息出现后，要注意听2,000-yearold周围的名词信息。录音中说的是Longfield has a modern replica of a farm from over two thousand years ago.，即使考生不清楚replica是“复制品”的意思，也能筛选出farm这个名词信息，这个空也是可以完成的。

14.C原文提到Monday的活动时，核心词是herb。浏览三个选项均跟这个词相关，后文说到...practise the technique of using them as colour dyes for cloth...，可以确定活动的主旨是用草药来练习给布料染色的技能。

15.B原文提到Wednesday的活动时，说要phone the park ranger a few days ahead。浏览三个选项发现phone ahead相当于B选项中的book in advance。注意in advance和beforehand,ahead或者ahead of schedule/time这类表达可以相互替换。

16.A原文提到Saturday的活动是一个working party，介绍活动可以自选，也可以短暂停留。当听到one thing,though的时候要注意，这是一个非常明显的强调类的信号词，注意听后面的句子说...make sure you’re wearing something that you don’t mind getting dirty or torn.，这句话才是介绍的重点，对应的答案为A选项。

17.A看地图确定图中的参照物，听到lake出现，马上定位lake周边的字母，方位词为west和at the end，看图可确定为位置A。

18.I听到录音提到参照物refreshments，又听到...there’s a dog-walking area in the southern part of the park。按照地图的指向，距离refreshments不远而又位于park南部的是位置I。

19.F听到...you can go to the flower garden；that’s the circular area on the map surrounded by paths，考生要立刻反应出circular除了有“循环的”含义之外，还可表示“圆形的”，地图中只有F是在圆形图案里，并且四周都有道路，所以可确定答案为F。

20.E听到...there’s a wooded area in the western section of the park,between two paths，可知位置在西面而且在两条路之间的只有E。
