剑桥雅思8听力：Test3雅思听力Section3真题及解析

　　WOMAN;l've been reading your personal statement, Paul. First, let's talk aboutyour work experience in South America. What took you there? Was it togain more fluency in Spanish?

　　PAUL:Well, as l'm combining Spanish with Latin American studies, my main ideawas to find out more about the way people lied there. My spoken Spanish was already pretty good in fact.

　　WOMAN:So you weren't too worried about language barriers?

　　PAUL:No. In fact, I ended up teaching English there, altough that wasn't myoriginal choice of work.

　　WOMAN:I see. How did you find out about all this?

　　PAUL:1 found an agency that runs all kinds of voluntary projects in SouthAmerica.

　　WOMAN:What kind of work?

　　PAUL:Well, there were several possibilties.

　　WOMAN:You mean construction? Engineering work?

　　PAUL:Yes, getting involved in building projects was an option. Then there wastourism - taking tourists for walks around the volcanoes - which I actuallychose to do, and then there was work with local farmers.

　　WOMAN:But you didn't continue with that project. Why not?

　　PAUL:Because I never really knew whether I'd be needed or not. l'd thought itmight be difiult physically, but I was certainly fit enough ... no, 1 wantedto do something that had more of a proper structure to it, I suppose. I getde- motivated otherwise.

　　WOMAN:What do you think you learmed from your experience? It must have beenagreat opportunity to examine community life.

　　PAUL:Yes, but it was dificult at first to be accepted by the locals. It was a veryremote village and some of them were reluctant to speak to me - althoughthey were always interested in my ciothes and how much l'd had to payfor them.

　　WOMAN:Well, that's understandable.

　　PAUL:Yes, but things soon improved. What struck me was that when peoplebecame more comfortable with me and less suspicious, we reallyconnected with each other in a meaningful way,

　　WOMAN:You made good friends?

　　PAUL:Yes, with two of the families in particular.

　　WOMAN:Good. What about management. Did you have a project manager?

　　PAUL:Yes and he gave me lots of advice and guidance.

　　WOMAN:And was he good at managing too?

　　PAUL:That wasn't his srong pointl I think he was often more interested in theacademic side of things than fling reports. He was a bit of a dreamer.

　　WOMAN:And did you have a contract?

　　PAUL:I had to stay for a minimum of three months. My parents were surprisedwhen I asked to stay longer - six months in the end. I was so happy there.

　　WOMAN:And did anything on the administration side of things surprise you? Whatwas the food and lodging like?

　　PAUL:Simple .. but there was plenty to eat and I only paid seven dollars a dayfor that which was amazing really. And they gave me all the equipment Ineeded .. . even a laptop.

　　WOMAN:You didn't expect that then?

　　PAUL:　No.

　　WOMAN:Well, l'l look forward to hearing more.

　　WOMAN:But now let's look at these modules. You'll need to start thinking aboutwhich ones you'll definitely want to study. The first one here is GenderStudies in Latin America.

　　PAUL:WOMAN:It looks at how gender analysis is reconfiguring civil society in LatinAmerica. Women are increasingly occupying positions in govemment andin other elected leadership positions in Latin America. I think you'd find itinteresting.

　　PAUL:lfit was to do with people in the illages rather than those in the publicsphere, 1 would.

　　WOMAN:Okay. What about Second Language Acquisition?

　　PAUL:Do you think l'd find that useful?

　　WOMAN:Well, you've had some practical experience in the field, I think it would be.

　　PAUL:1 hadn't thought about that. put that down as a definite, then.

　　WOMAN:Okay. What about Indigenous Women's Lives. That sounds appropriate.

　　PAUL:I thought so too, but I looked at last year's exam questions and that changed my mind.

　　WOMAN:Don't judge the value of the course on that. Maybe, talk to some otherstudents first and we can talk about it again later.

　　PAUL:Okay.

　　WOMAN:Yes. And lastly, will you sign up for Portuguese lessons?

　　PAUL:My Spanish is good, so would I find that module easy?

　　WOMAN:Not necessarily. Some people find that Spanish interferes with learningPortuguese .... getting the accent right too. It's quite different in a lot ofways.

　　PAUL:Well, l'd much sooner do something else, then.

　　WOMAN:Alright. Now, what we need to dois ....

　　妇女;我一直在读你的个人陈述，保罗首先，让我们来谈谈你在美国的工作经历。是什么带你去那里的?西班牙语更流利吗?

　　保罗：嗯，当我把西班牙语和拉丁美洲研究结合起来时，我的主要想法是了解人们在那里撒谎的方式。我发言事实上， 西班牙语已经相当不错了。

　　女人：所以你不太担心语言障碍?

　　保罗：不。事实上，我最终在那里教英语，尽管这不是我本位的工作选择。

　　女人：明白了。你怎么知道这些的?

　　保罗：1 发现一个在南美洲经营各种志愿项目的机构。

　　女人：什么样的工作?

　　保罗：嗯，有几个可能。

　　女人：你是说建筑?工程工作?

　　保罗：是的，参与建设项目是一种选择。然后是旅游——带游客在火山周围散步——我实际上要这样做，然后和当地的农民一起工作。

　　女人：但你没有继续这个项目。为什么不呢?

　　保罗：因为我从来没有真正知道我是否需要。我想象它的身体可能是二分五裂的， 但我肯定足够健康...不， 我想， 1 想做一些更合适的结构。否则， 我更有动力。

　　女人：你认为你从你的经验中有什么用?这是研究社区生活的一次大好机会。

　　保罗：是的，但当地人起初很不自在。这是一个有名的村庄，他们中的一些人不愿意和我说话——尽管他们总是对我的小话感兴趣，而且我付多少钱。

　　女人：嗯，这是可以理解的。

　　保罗：是的， 但事情很快就有所改善。令我心想的，当人们对我更舒服，不那么可疑，我们真的以有意义的方式相互连接，

　　女人：你交了好朋友?

　　保罗：是的， 尤其是两个家庭。

　　女人：好。管理呢?你有项目经理吗?

　　保罗：是的，他给了我建议和指导。

　　女人：他也擅长管理吗?

　　保罗：这不是他的观点， 我认为他往往更感兴趣的是学术方面的事情， 而不是扔报告。他有点梦想家。

　　女人：你有合同吗?

　　保罗：我不得不至少呆三个月。当我要求多呆一会儿时，我的父母都很惊讶——最后是六个月。我在那儿很开心。

　　女人：行政方面有什么让你吃惊的吗?食物和住宿是什么样的?

　　保罗：简单。。但有吃， 我每天只付七美元， 这真的是惊人的。他们给了我所有的装备.甚至一台笔记本电脑。

　　女人：你当时没想到会这样?

　　保罗：不。

　　女人：嗯，我期待着听到。

　　女人：但现在让我们来看看这些模块。你需要开始思考哪些你肯定想学习。这里的个是拉丁美洲的性别研究。

　　保罗：女人：　它着眼于性别分析如何重新配置拉丁语中的民间社会美国。在拉丁美洲，妇女越来越多地在政府和其他民选领导职位上担任职务。我想你会发现它有趣。

　　保罗：lfit 是做与生病的人， 而不是那些在公共圈， 1 会。

　　女人：好。第二语言习得呢?

　　保罗：你觉得我觉得有用吗?

　　女人：嗯，你在这个领域有一些实践经验，我想会的。

　　保罗： 没有想到这一点。把它作为一个明确的，然后。

　　女人：好。土著妇女的生活呢?这听起来合适。

　　保罗：我也这么认为， 但我看了去年的考试题，改变了我的想法。

　　女人：不要判断课程的价值。也许， 先跟其他学生谈谈， 我们以后可以再谈一遍。

　　保罗：好。

　　女人：是的。最后，你会报名参加葡萄牙语课程吗?

　　保罗：我的西班牙语， 所以我会发现那个模块很容易吗?

　　女人：不。有些人发现西班牙语干扰了学习葡萄牙语。也把口音说对了在方面，情况都大不相同。

　　保罗：那我做点别的

　　女人：好。现在，我们需要做的是...

　　SECTION 3

　　谈话场景 :作业讨论
人物关系 :老师和学生
谈话话题 :老师针对

　　personal statement 的具体情况和学生交谈

　　师资点题剑桥雅思8听力：

　　交际与语言表达

　　1. 本段对话是在女教师与Paul之间展开,开始女教师询问Paul在南美的工作经历。女教师问Paul是否担心语言障碍(language barrier),Paul 回答说不担心,而且他后来还在那里 教英语(In fact, I ended up teaching English there)。end up doing sth. 意为“以...结束, 告终”,还可以用end up with sth. 来表示同样的意思。end还可以做名词,意为“结束”, in/at the end (of)“在...的最后”。

　　2. I see.口语中常用,意为“我明白了”。see在此处与understand同义。

　　3. Paul后来介绍了自己在南美的工作。南美旅游业发达,Paul就带领游客游览火山附近的景观。女教师问Paul从中学到了什么(What do you think you learned from your experi- ence?),do you think在此是插入句。女教师认为Paul的经历给他提供了一个的机会去了解社区生活(It must have been a great opportunity to examine community life)。must 
have been 表推测,意为“”。

　　4. Paul说这的确是一个好机会,不过最初让当地人接受自己还是很难。It was a very remote 
village and some of them were reluctant to speak to me.(那个村庄很偏远,村民不愿意和我说话)。reluctant为形容词,意为“不愿”,短语be reluctant to do sth. 意为“不愿做某事”; 相似短语有be unwilling to do sth.,也表示“不愿做某事”。

　　5. 不过,渐渐地情况有所改观(things soon improved),最让Paul惊讶的是村民和他呆在一起时感到舒服,也不那么多疑了(What struck me was that when people became more comfortable with me and less suspicious, ...)。what 在此引导主语从句,struck 是 strike 的 过去式,意为“打动”。

　　6. Paul 对女教师说他的项目经理给了他建议和指导,女教师问他的项目经理是否擅长管理(And was he good at managing too?)。短语 be good at 意为“擅长......”;反义短语是 be bad at,意为“不擅长......”。

　　7. Paul介绍了当时的食物与住宿条件之后,女教师说我很期望多了解一些情况(I’ll look forward to hearing more)。短语 look forward to doing sth. 意为“期望做某事”,to 在此处 是介词,后面的动词用 v.-ing 形式,也可直接接名词。动词 expect/anticipate 也表示“期望” 的意思。

　　8. 接下来女教师与Paul的对话围绕选课方面进行。女教师建议Paul选择拉美性别分析,这
门课着眼于性别分析是如何重建拉美的文明社会的。Paul 的回答是如果它是关于普通村民 而不是公众人物的话,他愿意(If it was to do with people in the village rather than those in the public sphere, I would)。此句用了虚拟语气,表示与事实相反,即这门课实际上不是 关于普通村民,而是关于公众人物的。rather than 意为“而不是”。

　　9. 女教师后来给Paul推荐了本土女性研究,这门课程应该很符合Paul的要求。Paul 说我 开始也这样想,不过看过去年的考试题目之后,我就改变主意了(I thought so too, but I looked at last year’s exam questions and that changed my mind)。thought 在这里用的是过 去时,表示之前这样想 ;so 意为“这样”,指代女教师前面说的情况。change one’s mind 意为“改变主意”;mind 意为“头脑,智力,想法”,make one’s mind 意为“做出决定”。

　　10.最后女教师问Paul要不要选葡萄牙语。Paul说我的西班牙语,是不是意味着我学葡 萄牙会很轻松,女教师回答说不(Not necessarily),人发现西班牙语会干扰葡萄 牙语的学习(Some people find that Spanish interferes with learning Portuguese)。not necessarily 是省略句,口语中常用,意为“未必,不”。interfere意为“抵触;突”的意思,经常搭配的介词是 with 与 in,不过意思上有细小的区别:interfere in 意为“介入; 干涉,干预”,interfere with 除了以上意思之外,还可以表示“妨碍;突;抵触”的意思。
