剑桥雅思15test2听力原文及解析

Question 11答案C

听前预测：限定词为originally。

题目解析：本题没有较好的定位词，唯一的名词park为该部分的主题词，不能用于定位，所以需要理解题干的意思后再听题。在听到the origin of the park时可判断答案信息即将出现，答案句为：“...unlike many public parks that started in private ownership,as the garden of a large house...which people living nearby started plant:ing...”此处首先听到选项B中的原词private，但通过否定信号词unlike可排除B;后半句才是真正的答案信息，其中people living nearby替换了选项C中的local community，故C正确;后面虽出现了选项A中的原词council，但录音中说的是直到20年后才为council所有，与题干中要求的originally不符，且录音中未提到用作amenity，因此答案为C

Question 12答案A

听前预测：定位词为Diane Gosforth

解析：本题在定位上难度不大，但在指代用法与同义替换的考查上难度较大。定位词Diane Gosforth原词重现后，后面的两句先介绍了事情的北京，即市政委员会想把这块儿地改为住宅区，而当地居民希望它仍然是个公共场所;接着定位词第二次原词重现时引出答案句：“Diane Gosforth was one of those people，and she organised petitions and demonstrations...”其中those people指代前面的Many local people，同时对应选项A中的resident，organised petitions and demonstrations对应选项A中的lead a campaign，因此答案为A。

Question 13答案B

听前预测：定位词为First World War;限定词为mainly。

题目解析：本题的难点在于三个选项中的关键信息均在录音中出现，所以需要注意题干中的限定词mainly，此处考查的是公园的主要用途。定位词First World War原词重现后，答案句随即出现：“...and most of the park was dug up and planted with vegetables，which were sold locally."其中most of the park替换了题干中的限定词mainly，planted with vegetables替换了选项B中的growing vegetables，故B正确;接着听到选项A的相关信息：“At one stage the army considered taking it over for troop exercises...”通过后半句中的否定信号词too small to be of use可排除;之后听到选项C中的原词public meetings："There were occasional public meetings during the war...”其中occasional与题干要求的mainly不符，因此答案为B。

Question 14答案C

听前预测：定位词为transformation;限定词为physical、begin。

题目解析：同上一题，本题的三个选项均在录音中出现，所以需要注意题干中的限定词physical和begin，此处考查的是实体改造开始的时间。定位词transformation以动词形式出现后，首先听到选项A和选项B的相关信息：“Plans for transforming it were drawn up at various times,most recently in 2013,though they were revised in 2015...”这两个时间分别为改造计划的起草时间和修改时间，与限定词physical不符，故排除;接着听到：“The changes finally got going in 2016..."其中got going意为“开始动工”，与限定词physical和begin相符，因此答案为C。

Question 15答案E

听前预测：定位词为statue of Diane Gosfort。

题目解析：定位词statue of Diane Gosforth原词重现后，答案句随即出现：“..it used to be close to the south gate，but it's now immediately to the north of the lily pond...”注意close to the south gate是以前的位置，故不能选H，but引导的后半句描述的才是现在的位置，根据to the north of the lily pond和in the centre of the park可知答案为E。

Question 16答案C

听前预测：定位词为wooden sculptures。

题目解析：通过定位词wooden sculptures可锁定答案句：“.，which are on the river bank where the path from the east gate makes a sharp bend.”根据对该地点的描述可分wooden sculptures在河岸上，且从东门过去的小路在那里有个急转弯，因此答案为C。

Question 17答案B

听前预测：定位词为playground。

题目解析：通过定位词playground可锁定答案句：“...that's between the river and the path that leads from the pond to the river.”根据对该地点的描述可知playground在河流和从池塘到河流的小路之间，看地图很容易即可确定答案为B。

Question 18答案A

听前预测：定位词为maze

题目解析：定位词maze原词重现后，答案句随即出现：“That's near the west gate-you go north from there towards the river and then turn left to reach it.”跟着指示从西门向北朝着河流走，然后左转，即可确定答案为A。

Question 19答案G

听前预测：定位词为tennis courts。

题目解析：定位词tennis courts原词重现后，答案句随即出现：“They're still in the south-west corner of the park，where there's a right-angle bend in the path.”根据in the south-west corner of the park很容易便可找到G点，再根据后面的a right-angle bend可进一步确认答案为G。

Question 20答案D

听前预测：定位词为fitness area。

题目解析：定位词fitness area原词重现后，答案句随即出现："This is right next to the lily pond on the same side as the west gate."根据对该地点的描述可fitness area就在荷花池的旁边，和西门在同一侧，因此答案为D
