Sponsored Walking Holiday剑桥雅思7-听力原文翻译及答案解析

一、Sponsored Walking Holiday听力原文：

Good morning.

I'm very pleased to have been invited along to your club to talk about our Charity Sponsored Walking Holiday for Education Aid.

I’ll start by giving you a brief overview of what it entails.

First of all let me explain what we mean by Sponsored'here.

This is where people promise to donate money to the charity if you achieve your goal,in this case to walk a certain number of miles.

Basically we are organizing a ten-day holiday,from the sixth to the sixteenth of November,with eight days actual walking,trekking in the Semira Mountains.

Let's have a look at some of the details.

We require you to raise sponsorship money of at least$3,200,paying$250 of it up front as a deposit and the rest in stages throughout the year.

Out of this about thirty-five per cent will go on your expenses,and that leaves sixty-five per cent guaranteed to go to the charity.

Which brings me to the most important part.

This trek is being specifically organized to help education in the Semira region.

Last year we helped train teachers for the disabled,and this year we're focusing on the pupils.

Each of the walkers’sponsorship money will go to help an individual special needs pupil in one of the mountain schools.

In the second part of the talk I’ll be giving you a lot more details,but back to the basic information.

Age limits.

This is the second time we have run this kind of holiday and um,on the first we even had an eighty-year old,but we found it was wise to establish limits this time.

You have to be at least eighteen and the top limit is now seventy,though you need to obtain a health certificate from your doctor if you arc over sixty years old.

Now,the Semira Mountains are among the highest in the world but you mustn’t be too daunted,we will mainly be trekking in the foothills only,although there will be spectacular views even in the foothills.

However,you will need to be extremely fit if you aren’t now and you're interested in coming with us.

You have plenty of time to get into shape.

You will be sleeping in tents so you must have quite a bit of equipment with you but you will be helped by Local assistants.

Your bedding and so forth will be carried by them.

We ask that you only walk with a small rucksack with needs for the day.

I don’t think I’ve really said enough about the marvellous area you’ll be walking in.

Let’s have a look at some of the sights you’ll be seeing.

Apart from these spectacular snow-covered peaks and valleys,there are marvellous historic villages.

The area has been famous for centuries for making beautiful carpets,although recently there has been a trend to move into weaving blankets and wood carving.

The people are extremely friendly and welcoming.

We deliberately keep the parties small in size to minimize disruption to people and landscape.

I hope that there are still some people interested.

I will be distributing leaflets at the end where you can find out more information,but just for the moment I’ll outline the itinerary,the main high points of the holiday.

Obviously,you'll start by flying out to Kishba,the capital city,on Day One.

After a couple of days to acclimatize yourself,you'll start the trek on Day Three walking through the enormous Katiba Forest which will take the whole of the day.

Day Four takes us higher up,going through the foothills past a number of villages and visiting a school for the disabled in Sohan.

Then you have a rest day,that s Day Five,before going to the spectacular Kumi Temple with twelfth-century carvings,set in a small forest by a lake and that's Day Six,the highlight for many.

We stay near there for Day Seven because then comes the hardest day,walking through very mountainous country,but culminating in a swim in the Partch Falls.

This is the highest waterfall in the region.

Day Nine is much easier,with part of the day spent in a village where they make some of the gorgeous red blankets.

Then back down to Kishba and the journey home.

So you can see it's a pretty packed timetable...

二、Sponsored Walking Holiday听力中文翻译：

早上好

我很高兴被邀请到你们俱乐部来谈谈我们慈善赞助的教育援助步行假日。

首先，我将向您简要概述它所包含的内容。

首先，让我解释一下我们所说的“赞助”是什么意思。

这就是人们承诺，如果你实现了自己的目标，就会向慈善机构捐款，在这种情况下，就是步行一定的里程数。

基本上，我们正在组织一个为期十天的假期，从11月6日到16日，八天的实际步行，在塞米拉山脉徒步旅行。

让我们看看一些细节。

我们要求您筹集至少3200美元的赞助资金，其中250美元作为预付款，其余部分在全年分阶段支付。

其中大约35%将用于你的开支，剩下的65%保证会捐给慈善机构。

这让我想到了最重要的部分。

这次长途跋涉是专门为帮助塞米拉地区的教育而组织的。

去年，我们帮助培训了残疾人教师，今年我们的重点是学生。

walkers的每一笔赞助资金都将用于帮助其中一所山地学校的一名特殊需要学生。

在演讲的第二部分，我将给你们提供更多的细节，但回到基本信息。

年龄限制。

这是我们第二次举办这样的假期，嗯，第一次我们甚至有一个八十岁的老人，但我们发现这次设立限制是明智的。

你必须年满十八岁，现在的最高限额是七十岁，但如果你超过六十岁，你需要从医生那里获得健康证明。

现在，塞米拉山脉是世界上海拔最高的山脉之一，但你不要太害怕，我们将主要在山麓徒步旅行，尽管即使在山麓也会有壮观的景色。

然而，如果你现在身体不好并且有兴趣和我们一起去的话，你需要非常健康。

你有足够的时间锻炼身体。

你将睡在帐篷里，因此你必须随身携带大量设备，但你将得到当地助理的帮助。

你的床上用品等将由他们搬运。

我们要求你只带着一个小背包走路，带着一天的需要。

关于你将要走进的这片神奇的区域，我想我说得还不够多。

让我们看看你将要看到的一些风景。

除了这些壮观的白雪覆盖的山峰和山谷外，还有一些历史悠久的村庄。

几个世纪以来，该地区一直以制作美丽的地毯而闻名，尽管最近有一种趋势，那就是编织毛毯和木雕。

人民非常友好和热情。

我们有意使各方规模较小，以尽量减少对人员和景观的破坏。

我希望还有一些人感兴趣。

我会在最后分发传单，你可以在那里找到更多信息，但现在我将概述行程，即假期的主要高潮。

显然，你将在第一天飞往首都基什巴。

经过几天的适应，你将在第三天开始徒步旅行，穿过巨大的卡提巴森林，这将花费一整天的时间。

第四天，我们走得更高，穿过山麓小山，经过许多村庄，参观了索罕的一所残疾人学校。

然后你有一个休息日，也就是第五天，然后去壮观的库米神庙，那里有十二世纪的雕刻，坐落在湖边的一片小林中，这是第六天，是许多人的亮点。

我们在那里呆了七天，因为接下来是最艰难的一天，我们要穿过多山的国家，但最后在巴特奇瀑布游泳。

这是该地区最高的瀑布。

第九天要容易得多，一天的一部分时间是在一个村庄里度过的，他们在那里制作了一些华丽的红色毯子。

然后回到基什巴，踏上回家的旅程。

所以你可以看到这是一个非常拥挤的时间表。

五、Sponsored Walking Holiday听力答案解析

11.B该题关键词是walking。首先考生会听到...a ten-day holiday...，考生一定要把握住关键词的出现，紧跟其后的...eight days’actual walking...为正确答案。此题为数字陷阱，以第二次听到为准。

12.C此题关键词为money goes to charity。根据合理的逻辑选项，慈善事业的大部分钱应用于好的事业，所以答案为C。此题为饼状图形数字题，依然有数字陷阱，答案依然是第二次提到的数字65%。

13.A此题简单的同义词替换为pupil和student。学生在读题干时，可以看到清楚的指示。所以当考生听到...each of the walkers’sponsorship money will go to...，就明白答案马上就要出现了。

14.C记号词however的出现带来了答案：You will need to be extremely fit.，该题考查学生对于英语语言的精确理解力。extremely和very是同义词替换，所以答案为C。

15.B当听到录中出现...equipment...bedding...时，考生应该意识到这些都是belongings。其后出现...but you will be helped by local assistants.，说明不可能自带所有装备。当听到...walk with a small rucksack with needs...，可以肯定B为正确答案。此题A选项和C选项含有明显的绝对词，一般不是答案，可用排除法做此题。

16.A题干中的long tradition被原文中的famous for centuries替代，所以考生可以比较容易地听到正确答案。

此题可用雅思考试中的一个技巧“并列的不是答案”来选出正确答案。

17.forest表格中为考生提供了清晰的指示词Day 3，紧接着考生听到...walking through the enormous Katiba Forest.，而答案要求只能填一个单词，所以正确答案为forest。

18.temple表格中为考生提供了清晰的指示词Day 6，紧接着考生听到...going to the spectacular Kumi Temple...and that’s Day SIX...。正确答案先于指示词出现，该题的难度比上题稍大。而答案要求只能填一个单词，所以正确答案为temple。

19.waterfall考生在此题无法听到指示词Day 8，但是题干中的swim使该题的难度变小，虽然考生先听到Parteh Falls，但是答案要求只能是一个单词，而后面出现的waterfall即为正确答案。

20.village表格中为考生提供了清晰的指示词Day 9，该题难度较低，考生很容易听到正确答案。注意village的拼写。
