  劍橋雅思12聽力Test8Section4答案及解析

  談話場景：講座場景

  人物關(guān)系：教授

  談話話題：噪音和城市環(huán)境的關(guān)系

  交際與語言表達

  I “But there's quite a lot going on that these maps don't show, because they can't capture the complex way that sound varies over time.(但是還有很多東西是這些噪音地圖沒展示出來的，因為它們沒法體現(xiàn)聲音隨著時間變化而產(chǎn)生的復(fù)雜情況。)”其中that sound varies over time為定語從句，修飾前面的the complex way。

  2. “As well as that, these records of sound levels take no account of the fact that people vary in their perceptions of noise-so someone like me with years of working in acoustics might be very different from you in that regard.(除此之外，這些記錄忽略了不同人對于噪音的感受不同這個事實，比如說，像我這種在聲音研究領(lǐng)域工作了很多年的人和你們對于噪 音的感受可能就很不—樣。)”其中take account of意為“考慮”，這里的take no account of就可以理解為“忽略”;in that regard意為“在那一方面”。

  3.“Some types of sounds that most people would probably think of as nice and relaxing might score quite highly in decibel levels —think of the sound made by a fountain in a town square，for example.(—些大部分人覺得美妙且使人放松的聲音很有可能分貝數(shù)很高， 比如說一個小鎮(zhèn)廣場上噴泉發(fā)出的聲音。)”，其中that引導(dǎo)了一個定語從句，修飾前面的sounds; might well中well為程度副詞，組合在—起理解為“很有可能”。

  4.“Some recent interdisciplinary research has come out with results that at first sight seem contradictory a city needs to have a sense of activity, so it needs to be lively, with sounds like the clack of high heels on a pavement or the hiss of a coffee machine, but these mustn^ be too in- tmsive，because at the same time we need to be able to relax.(近期的一些跨學(xué)科研究出現(xiàn)了一些乍一看自相矛盾的的結(jié)果—一個城市應(yīng)該有活力感，所以它需要一些類似于高跟鞋在人行道上摩擦和咖啡機運轉(zhuǎn)時產(chǎn)生的聲音，但這些聲音不能太大，因為同時 我們需要能夠放松。)”這是一個典型的長難句，要理解這樣的句子，我們需要先找出它的主干信息：“Research has come out with results that a city needs to be lively, with sounds like A or B，but these mustn’t be too intrusive.”這樣對于整體信息的理解就不難了。其中 at first sight 意為“第一眼”。

  5.“But in fact they should be regarding sound as an opportunity to add to the experience of urban living, whereas at present they tend to see it as something to be avoided or reduced as far as possible, or something that's just a job for engineers like the street drainage system.(但事實上，建筑師們應(yīng)該把聲音當(dāng)作一種能豐富我們城市生活體驗的東西，然而目前他們貌似把聲音當(dāng)作一種應(yīng)該被盡可能避免或減少的東西，或認為聲音只是負責(zé)下水道系統(tǒng)的工程師們的工作。)”其中they指代的是前面出現(xiàn)過的architects and planners ; tendto do sth.意為“有做……的趨勢”。

  答案解析

  Question 31 答案 garden(s)

  聽前預(yù)測：定位詞 e.g.、windows、neighbours;提示詞 do not show、noise、or,此處應(yīng)填表地點的名詞。

  題目解析：首先我們聽到了提示詞don't show，然后聽到了定位詞such as(對應(yīng)e.g.)，接著我們重點要聽的是教授所舉的兩個例子中的第二個，“the noise someone might hear from the open windows or gardens of their neighbours”，其中or的前半部分對應(yīng)的是題干when windows are open,后半部分就是我們答案詞所在位置，因 此答案為gardens。

  Question 32 答案 political

  聽前預(yù)測：定位詞noise、issue;提示詞realize、be dealt with、people，此處應(yīng)填形容詞。

  題目解析：我們在But anyway之后聽到了重點信息“they've been useful in providing information and raising awareness that noise matters, we need to deal with it and so it's a political matter.” 其中 raising awareness 對應(yīng)題干 have made people realize，matter對應(yīng)issue，因此答案為political。

  Question 33 答案 work/study

  聽前預(yù)測：定位詞school children;提示詞effect、the，此處應(yīng)填名詞。

  題目解析：本題較為簡單，定位詞之后答案馬上出現(xiàn)了，具體對應(yīng)信息為“if schoolchildren don't have a quiet place to study, their work will suffer.” 其中suffer和題干effect對應(yīng)，因為effect本身既可以表示好的影響，也可以表示不好的影響，因此答案為work或其此處的同義表達study。

  Question 34 答案 fountain

  聽前預(yù)測：定位詞sound、town;提示詞pleasant、e.g.、a，此處應(yīng)填單數(shù)名詞。

  題目解析：我們首先聽到了“some types of sounds that most people would probably think of as nice and relaxing”，對應(yīng)題干“some noises can be considered pleasant”，然后聽至“think of the sound made by a fountain in a town square, for example”，其中 made by對應(yīng)題干of，因此答案為fountain。

  Question 35 答案 social

  聽前預(yù)測：定位詞researchers;提示詞sciences、questionnaires，此處應(yīng)填形容詞，且答案應(yīng)與science為一個詞組。

  題目解析：我們在轉(zhuǎn)折連詞instead之后聽到了重點，這里的instead相當(dāng)于but, “many researchers are using social science techniques，studying people's emotional response to sound by using questionnaires and so on.” 其中techniques對應(yīng)題干methods, studying對應(yīng)investigate，因此答案就是science前面的單詞social。

  Question 36 答案 lively

  聽前預(yù)測：定位詞activity;提示詞urban environments、but also、relax，此處應(yīng)填形容詞。

  題目解析：首先我們聽到了“a city needs to have a sense of activity”，對應(yīng)題干 “pienty of activities in urban environments”，然后我們聽到了“so it needs to be lively”，我們重點要聽的系表結(jié)構(gòu)(be動詞+adj.)中be后面的形容詞，因此答案為 lively。

  Question 37 答案 training

  聽前預(yù)測：定位詞architects, town planners, acoustics; 提示詞do not、get,此處應(yīng)填名詞。

  題目解析：我們在聽到以上三個定位詞之后，來到了答案所在句子“Apart from studying the basics of acoustics, these people receive very little training in this area.其中these people就是指代的前面的architects and town planners, receive同義替換提示詞get，very little替換題干not much，因此答案為training。值得注意的是little/few都表示“只有一些，幾乎沒有”，含否定之意;a little/a few表示“雖然不多，但還有一些”，含肯定之意。其中few/afew后接可數(shù)名詞，1ittle/a little后接不可數(shù)名詞。

  Question 38 答案 culture

  聽前預(yù)測：定位詞sound;提示詞need to know、relates to,此處應(yīng)填名詞。

  題目解析：首先我們聽到了“we need to develop a complex understanding of many factors.其中develop a complex understanding對應(yīng)題干know,這就意味著答案馬上出現(xiàn)了。然后，我們聽到教授提出了一個問題“What is the relationship between sound and culture?”其實這個疑問句的語氣就是對應(yīng)題干how，“relationship between A and B” 對應(yīng)題干A relates to B，因此答案為culture。

  Question 39 答案 nature

  聽前預(yù)測：定位詞Physics;提示詞help、understand、sound、the，此處應(yīng)填名詞。

  題目解析：這道題目比較簡單，因為定位詞、提示詞和答案出現(xiàn)在同一句話中“Can we learn anything from physics about the nature of sound itself?其中“can we learn anything from physics” 對應(yīng)題干 “whether physics can help us understanf”，learn和understand是同義替換，答案所在信息the nature of Sound沒有進行同義替換，所以很容易判斷出答案為nature。

  Question 40 答案 silent

  聽前預(yù)測：定位詞disadvantage;提示詞current，此處應(yīng)填形容詞。注意本題定位詞disadvantage以及上一行信息中的advantage，說明這兩行信息存在一個對比、轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以我們在文中應(yīng)該重點聽對比和轉(zhuǎn)折的邏輯連詞。

  題目解析：我們首先聽到了“To show us their ideas and help us to...”,這里講的都是advantage,然后我們聽到了轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but,它之后所接的就是答案對應(yīng)信息“but these programs are silent”,其中these programs對應(yīng)前面的virtual reality,正確答案就是這段話中唯一的一個形容詞silent。
