Bicentennial Park剑桥雅思7-听力原文翻译及答案解析

一、Bicentennial Park听力原文：

Welcome to all of you...

can everybody sec and hear me?

Good...

I'm Sally,your guide for this tour of the Bicentennial Park...

I hope that you’re all wearing your most comfortable shoes and that you can keep up the pace.

So let's get under way on our tour around this wonderful park.

I'll start today with some general background information.

There used to be a lot of factories in this area until the 1960s.

Creating the park required the demolition of lots of derelict buildings on the site,so most of the exciting park space all around you was originally warehouses and storehouses

The idea of building a public park here was first discussed when a property developer proposed a high-rise housing development,but the local community wasn't happy.

If the land was to be cleaned up,they wanted to use the site for recreation.

Residents wanted open space for outdoor activities,rather than housing or even an indoor sports complex.

Now to the Bicentennial Park itself.

It has two areas,a nature reserve and a formal park with man-made features and gardens.

The tall blue-and-white building in front of us is called The Tower and is the centre point for the formal gardens.

It stands twelve metres high,so follow me up the stairs to where we can take advantage of the fantastic views.

Well,here we are at the top of The Tower,and we’re going to look at the view from each direction.

Out to the east,the large buildings about a kilometre away are on the Olympic site.

There's an indoor arena for gymnastics,a stadium for track and field and a swimming pool for races and synchronised swimming and also diving.

If you look carefully down there,you can see the train lines.

The Olympic site has its own station to encourage the use of public transport.

There is also a car park,but it only holds a limited number of cars.

The formal park has some specially-created water features.

If you look out here to the south,you can see a circular ornamental pond.

And around to the west you can relax and sit on a bench to smell the flowers in the rose garden,and finally up to the north,if you look in front of you now,there's a lake with a small island in the centre,you can hire rowing boats at the boat shed,which you can't see from here,but if you look through the trees,you can see the caf’e,which has lovely views across the water.

OK,let's climb down now.

We will go now and have a look at the nature reserve section of the park,which has opened up natural wetland to the public.

The Mangroves have been made more accessible to visitors by the boardwalk built during the park's upgrade.

You'd think that people would come here to look at the unusual plant life of the area,but in fact it’s more often used for cycling and is very popular with the local clubs.

This is the far end of the park and over there you can see the Frog Pond,a natural feature here long before the park was designed.

Just next to it we have our outdoor classroom,a favourite spot for school parties.

The area is now most often used by primary schools for biology lessons.

And finally let's pass by the Waterbird Refuge.

This area is in a sheltered part of the estuary,that's why the park's viewing shelter is a favourite spot for bird watchers who can use it to spy through binoculars.

You can watch a variety of water birds,but most visitors expect 10 see black swans when they come to the shelter.

You might spot one yourself right now!

Well,here we are back at our starting point,the Visitor Centre.

二、Bicentennial Park听力中文翻译：

欢迎大家。。。

大家能等一下听我说吗？

好的

我是莎莉，你的200周年公园之旅的导游。。。

我希望你们都穿着最舒适的鞋，并且能跟上步伐。

那么，让我们开始我们在这座美丽的公园周围的旅行吧。

今天我将从一些一般的背景信息开始。

直到20世纪60年代，这个地区以前有很多工厂。

创建这个公园需要拆除现场的许多废弃建筑，所以你周围最令人兴奋的公园空间原来是仓库和仓库

当一家房地产开发商提议开发高层住宅时，人们首次讨论了在这里建造公共公园的想法，但当地社区并不满意。

如果要清理土地，他们想把这块地用于娱乐。

居民们想要户外活动的开放空间，而不是住房，甚至是室内体育综合体。

现在是200周年纪念公园本身。

它有两个区域，一个自然保护区和一个带有人造特色和花园的正式公园。

我们面前那座高大的蓝白相间的建筑被称为塔楼，是正式花园的中心点。

它有十二米高，所以跟我上楼梯，我们可以在那里欣赏到美妙的景色。

好的，我们现在在塔顶，我们将从各个方向看风景。

在东边，大约一公里外的大型建筑就在奥运会址上。

有一个室内体操馆、一个田径场和一个游泳池，用于比赛、花样游泳和跳水。

如果你仔细看看下面，你可以看到火车线。

奥运会场馆有自己的车站，鼓励使用公共交通工具。

也有一个停车场，但它只能容纳有限数量的汽车。

正式的公园有一些特别设计的水景。

如果你向南看，你可以看到一个圆形的装饰性池塘。

在西边，你可以放松一下，坐在长凳上闻玫瑰花园里的花，最后到了北边，如果你现在看看前面，那里有一个中心有一个小岛的湖，你可以在船棚租划艇，从这里你看不到，但如果你透过树看，你可以看到咖啡馆，那里的水对面风景很美。

好了，我们现在爬下去吧。

我们现在要去看看公园的自然保护区部分，它向公众开放了自然湿地。

公园升级期间修建的木板路使游客更容易进入红树林。

你可能会认为人们会来这里看看这个地区不同寻常的植物，但事实上，它更常被用来骑自行车，而且在当地俱乐部很受欢迎。

这是公园的尽头，在那里你可以看到青蛙池，这是公园设计之前很久的一个自然景观。

就在它旁边，我们有我们的户外教室，这是学校聚会最喜欢的地方。

该地区现在最常被小学用来上生物课。

最后让我们经过水鸟避难所。

这一地区位于河口的隐蔽区域，这就是为什么公园的观鸟棚是观鸟者最喜欢的地方，他们可以用它通过双筒望远镜进行侦察。

你可以看到各种各样的水鸟，但大多数游客预计，当他们来到庇护所时，会看到10只黑天鹅。

你现在可能会发现一个！

好了，现在我们回到起点，游客中心。

五、Bicentennial Park听力答案解析

11.C当听到导游说：I hope that you are all wearing your most comfortable shoes and that you can keep up the pace.，确定答案为C(a walking tour)。

12.B当听到....some general background information.后要留心了，因为这里要谈公园的背景信息了。紧接着一句，答案就出现了：There used to be a lot of factories in this area

until 1960s.，确定答案为B(industrial buildings)之后听到的两句是答案信息句的支持句。

13.A当考生听到They want to use the site for recreation.后，即得出答案是A，A答案中的leisure和听力材料中的recreation属于同义词重现。

14.B当听力材料中出现The Tower后就定位了，接着就听到...is the centre point for the formal gardens.。得出正确答案是B(formal gardens)。

15.Car Park跟随着所听内容，依次听到Olympic site，indoor arena，stadium，swimming pool及station，接着出现一句：There is also a car park...。立刻确定正确答案是Car Park。

16.Rose Garden当听到around to the west，立即定位图示方向。接着听到：...you can relax and sit on a beach to smell the flowers in the rose garden...，立即猜测答案是与beach接近的rose garden。接着听到finally up to the north。说明方向开始变化了，那么，立即锁定答案为Rose Garden。

17.Café当听到...if you look through the trees,you can see the café...,即判定答案为café，through有“穿过”之意，很明显，图示中的17，即所填空那个方位是树中间。正确答案为Café。

18.cycling要清楚，这一空要填一项活动。当听到The Mangroves（红树）及boardwalk（木板人行道）后要留意答案的出现。当听到信号词but后出现了cycling，即...but in fact it’s more often used for cycling.，确定正确答案是cycling。

19.biology lessons听到Frog Pond和outdoor classroom之后，要留心听一项活动(activity)。当听到The area is now most often used by primary schools for biology lessons.，确定答案为biology lessons。

20.viewing shelter通过18、19题，考生可以判断，这里要填的是facility（设施）的内容，在听力材料中的出现顺序应该是位于The Water bird Refuge和bird watching之间的。当听到the Water-bird Refuge后就要留心了。之后听到...that’s why the park’s viewing shelter is a favourite spot for bird watchers...,即了解到文中所指的...a favorite spot for bird watchers...应该是viewing shelter，而favourite spot属于facility范围之列，得出正确答案是viewing shelter。
