一、Rivenden City Theatre听力原文:

MAN:And here on Radio Rivenden we have Lynne Rawley,the Public Relations Officer of our own Riven den City Theatre.

Hello,Lynne.

LYNNE:Hello.

MAN:Now,the theatre is reopening soon after its three-year redevelopment programme,isn’t it?

LYNNE:That's right,and there are a lot of improvements.

The first thing people will see when they go in is that the foyer has been repainted in the original green and gold.

Then the box office has been reoriented,with its own access from the side of the building instead of through the foyer,which means it can be open longer hours,and has more space too.

The shop that used to be in the foyer,which sold books and CDs,is the one part of the redevelopment which isn't yet complete.

The plan is to find new premises for it near the theatre,and we've had difficulty finding somewhere suitable.

We hope to reopen the shop in the next few months.

MAN:Will audiences find any difference in the auditorium?

LYNNE:Yes,we’ve increased the leg-room between the rows.

This means that there are now fewer seats but we’re sure audiences will be much happier.

And we've installed air conditioning,so it won't get so hot and stuffy.

We already had a few seats which were suitable for wheelchair users,and now there are twice as many,which we hope will meet demand.

Something else that will benefit audiences is the new lifts.

The two we used to have were very small and slow.

They’ve now gone,and we’ve got much more efficient ones.

MAN:Anything for the performers?

LYNNE:Yes,we’ve made a number of improvements backstage.

The small,dark dressing rooms we used to have have been converted into two large airy rooms,so they’re much more comfortable now.

And the state-of-the-art electronic sound and lighting systems have been installed.

MAN:OK,so what’s the first play that audiences can see when the theatre reopens?

LYNNE:We’ve got a very exciting production of Peter Shaffer’s Royal Hunt of the Sun,which is currently touring the country.

That starts on October the 13th and runs till the 19th.

We’re experimenting a bit with the time the curtain goes up.

We used to start all our performances at 7:30,but that made it difficult for people to go home by public transport,so instead we’re beginning at 7,because at 9:45,when it finishes,there are still buses running.

Tickets are already selling fast.

The Friday and Saturday performances sold out almost immediately and,in fact,now there are only tickets for Monday and Thursday.

MAN:How much are they?

LYNNE:We’ve introduced a simpler price structure.

Ticket prices used to range from£6 to£30 but now they’re all£18.

They’re available from the box office,in person,by phone,fax or post,or online.

MAN:OK,Lynne,now if you’d like to give the contact details for the theatre…

二、Rivenden City Theatre听力中文翻译:

男:在里文登电台,我们有林恩·罗利,我们自己的里文登市剧院的公关官。

你好,林恩。

琳恩:你好。

男:现在,剧院在三年的重建计划后不久就要重新开放了,不是吗?

林恩:没错,而且有很多改进。

当人们进去时,首先看到的是门厅被重新粉刷成了原来的绿色和金色。

然后,票房重新定位,从大楼一侧进入,而不是通过门厅,这意味着它可以开放更长的时间,也有更多的空间。

以前在门厅出售书籍和CD的商店是重建项目中尚未完成的一部分。

我们的计划是在剧院附近为它找到新的场地,我们很难找到合适的地方。

我们希望在未来几个月内重新开店。

男:观众会发现礼堂里有什么不同吗?

林恩:是的,我们增加了两排之间的腿部空间。

这意味着现在的座位越来越少了,但我们相信观众会更快乐。

我们还安装了空调,这样天气就不会那么闷热了。

我们已经有了一些适合轮椅使用者的座位,现在有两倍的座位,我们希望能够满足需求。

另一个对观众有益的是新电梯。

我们以前的两个都很小,速度很慢。

他们已经走了,我们有了效率更高的。

男:有什么要给表演者的吗?

林恩:是的,我们在后台做了很多改进。

我们以前的小而暗的更衣室已经被改造成了两个大而通风的房间,所以现在更舒适了。

并且已经安装了最先进的电子声音和照明系统。

男:好的,那么当剧院重新开放时,观众能看到的第一部戏剧是什么?

琳恩:我们有一部非常激动人心的彼得·沙弗的《皇家狩猎太阳》的作品,目前正在全国巡回演出。

从10月13日开始,一直持续到19日。

我们正在试验幕布升起的时间。

我们过去所有的演出都是在7:30开始的,但这使得人们很难乘坐公共交通工具回家,所以我们从7点开始,因为在9:45结束时,仍然有公共汽车在行驶。

票已经卖得很快了。

周五和周六的演出几乎立即售罄,事实上,现在只有周一和周四的门票。

男:多少钱?

林恩:我们引入了更简单的价格结构。

票价过去从6英镑到30英镑不等,但现在都是18英镑。

他们可以在售票处,亲自,通过电话,传真或邮寄,或在线购买。

男:好的,琳恩,现在如果你想提供剧院的详细联系方式…

五、Rivenden City Theatre听力答案解析

Question 11 B.注意顺序词first,then。讲话人先提到foyer,then之后是题干词box office出现,有重音的词是reoriented(重新定位),即门的方向重新设置了。如果考生没有理解这个单词,其后的access也是一个重要词语,与B选项的核心词entrance同义。

Question 12 G.在shop之后的句子中有否定句which isn’t yet completed,通常否定会重读;另外,最后一句话说We hope to reopen the shop,reopen是重读词,与G选项temporarily closed意思吻合。

Question 13 C.此题题干的seats在答案后出现,难度增加,考生应注意信号词This means...,通常这样的句型表示解释或强调,听到seats一词时,应该还记得之前的词是fewer,选项中只有C项有“减少”的意思,因此答案为C。

Question 14 A.wheelchair为路标词,之后twice是重读词,与A选项doubled同义。常识原则也很重要,关注残疾人,增加使之方便的设施,是每个文明社会都应做到的。

Question 15 E.虽然原文中lifts一词后的句子较复杂,但其实通过lifts前的形容词new就可以判断答案与E选项的replaced有关。另外如果考生抓到其后强调的词small and slow,亦可判断这样的电梯应该被替换了。

Question 16 D.dressing room之前的形容词small、dark与之后的large、airy,只要考生可以抓到其中任何一个,就可以判断化妆间的变化是面积扩大了。

Question 17(O c t o b e r(t h e))1 9 t h.题干中的日期October the 13th是路标,注意runs till意为“持续到…”,之后听到日期19th,考生要跟读并快速记录。

Question 18 7.此题有很强的干扰信息7.30,但如果考生注意到转折词but,与其后的表归纳总结的词so,就不难判断这是一个答案在转折之后出现的题目。听力部分的section 1与section 2经常有这样的干扰出现,考生一定要耐心听完这几句再判断。

Question 19-20 Monday,Thursday.与18题类似,此句中有很典型的表强调的信号词in fact,在这之后出现的信息通常为答案。

Question 21 18.注意排除干扰信息6与30,它们是used to(以前是),而且答案之前有转折词but,请考生在分析题目时一定注意这类词,它们是答案将要出现的信号词。
