　　Section2

　　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 techniqueof 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 ...

　　Question 11

　　答案：trees

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

　　解题思路：本题缺失一个名词性的信息，用 Holt Island 大体定位，用 different 具体定位。前者在原文中直接出现，后者在原文中说的是同义词 great range of。

　　Question 12

　　答案： Friday/Sunday

　　定位原文：scripts: 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.

　　解题思路：在预测的时候，考生可以猜到本题是两个表示时间的概念，但是受到表格上下信息的影响和误导，也许考生会想到这是两个表示具体时间点的答案。另外这两个空，只要错一个，就没分了。

　　Question 13

　　答案： farm

　　定位原文：scripts: Longfield has a modern replica of a farm from over two thousand years ago.

　　解题思路：本题缺失一个名词性的信息，用 2000-year-old 具体定位，原文直接出现了。本题题干中的 reconstruction=原文中的 modem replica，这使得本题稍难。

　　Question 14

　　答案：C

　　定位原文：scripts: 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.

　　解题思路：本题可以用 Monday 定位，而且选项 C 中的 dye...herbs 都是原词重现。选项 A 中的 herbs 与选项 B 中的 herbalist 都有的迷惑性。另外，下文提到了 expert...insect, 使得选项 B 有更强的迷惑性。

　　Question 15

　　答案：B

　　定位原文：scripts: 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.

　　解题思路：本题可以用 Wednesday 定位，原文直接出现了这个单词。选项 B 中的 in advance=原文中的 ahead; book=原文中的 phone the park ranger。选项 A 中的 group 在原文出现了，有的迷惑性;选项 C 在原文中被否定了，原文中说 There is a small charge...you should pay when you turn up。

　　Question 16

　　答案：A

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

　　解题思路：本题可以用 Saturday 定位，原文也直接出现了本单词。选项 A 中的 suitable clothing 在原文中是解释性的：make sure you’re wearing something that you don’t mind getting dirty or tom。选项 B 中的 stay for the whole day 与在原文中 the rangers will be hard at work all day 有相似的部分，所以有的迷惑性;选项 C 中的 后半部分 event what they wish to do 是对的，但是前半部分 tell the ranger 是错误的，而是自己凭兴趣去选 change from one to another when you feel like it。

　　Question 17

　　答案：A

　　定位原文：scripts: 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.

　　解题思路：本题要用地图中的已知信息 lake 去定位，而且地图的右下角给出了指向标。由原文可知 bird hide 在 lake 的西边，地图上 lake 西边只有 A。

　　Question 18

　　答案：I

　　定位原文：scripts: 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.

　　解题思路：本题要用地图中的已知信息 refreshments 去定位，原文说 fairly dose to where refreshments are available, there's a dog-walking area...; 另外，原文中的 southern part 也是定位的重要信息，因此答案是 I。

　　Question 19

　　答案：F

　　定位原文：scripts: 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.

　　解题思路：本题在原文中说的是 that’s the circular area...surrounded by paths, “被小路环绕的圆形区域”在地图中有充分的显示，F 是答案。

　　Question 20

　　答案：E

　　定位原文：scripts: And finally, there's a wooded area in the western section of the park, between two paths.

　　解题思路：本题在原文中描述的也很清楚： western section of the park, between two paths, 在地图的左边，两条小路中间的 E 就是答案。
