Visiting the Sheepmarket area劍橋雅思12-聽力原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Visiting the Sheepmarket area聽力原文：

Welcome to this podcast about the Sheepmarket,which is one of the oldest parts of the city.

As its name suggests,there was originally a market here where farmers brought their sheep,but now it's been redeveloped into a buzzing,vibrant area of the city,which is also home to one of the city's fastest-growing communities.

The nearby university has always meant the area's popular with students,who come in to enjoy the lively nightlife,but now graduates embarking on careers in the worlds of fashion and design are buying up the new apartments recently built here to replace the small houses where the market workers used to live.

The narrow old side streets are great places for finding original pictures,jewellery and ceramics which won't break the bank,as well as local produce like fruit and vegetables.

There's also lots of pavement cafes where you can have a coffee and watch tourists from all over the world go by.

The oldest buildings in the area are on the main streets,including the city's first department store,built in the 1880s,which is still open today.

The Sheepmarket is a centre for fashion,and there's a policy of encouraging new young designers.

The Young Fashion competition is open to local young people who are passion about fashion.

This year they've been asked to design an outfit based on ideas from the music and technology that's part of their everyday life,using both natural and man-made fibres.

The garments will be judged by a panel of experts and fashion designers,and the winning entries will be modelled at a special gala evening.

Parking at the Sheepmarket is easy.

There are plenty of pay and display car parking spaces on the roadsides which are fine if you just want to stay for an hour or two,but if you want to spend the day there it's better to park in one of the four underground car parks.

It's not expensive and if you can present a receipt from one of the local stores,you'll not be charged at all.

After six pm many of the car parks have a flat rate which varies but it is usually very reasonable.

The Sheepmarket is one of the main centres for art and history in the whole of the country.

If you look at our map,you'll see some of the main attractions there.

Most visitors start from Crawley Road,at the bottom of the map.

The Reynolds House is one of the oldest houses in the city,and is open to the public.

It's on the north side of Crawley Road,next to the footpath that leads to the public gardens.

The area's particularly interesting for its unusual sculptures.

‘The Thumb'is just what its name suggests.

But it's about 10 metres high.

You'll see it on Hill Road,across the road from the Bank.

The Museum's got a particularly fine collection of New Zealand landscapes.

It's on the east side of the Sheepmarket,on City Road.

It'on the other side of the road from the public gardens,immediately facing the junction with Hill Road.

The Contemporary Art Gallery is on a little road that leads off Station Square,not far from the public gardens.

The road ends at the gallery—it doesn't go anywhere else.

That's open every day except Mondays.

The Warner Gallery specialises in 19th-century art.

It's on City Road,near the junction with Crawley Road,on the same side of the road as the public gardens.

It's open on weekdays from 9 to 5,and entry is free.

Finally,if you're interested in purchasing high quality artwork,the place to go is Nucleus.

You need to go from Crawley Road up through Station Square and east along Hill Road until you get to a small winding road turning off.

Go up there and it's on your right—if you get to City Road you've gone too far.

五、Visiting the Sheepmarket area聽力答案解析

11.題干定位詞為增長最快的居住人群，錄音中提到大量學(xué)生enjoy the lively nightlife,跟居住無關(guān)所以排除。后面講到了畢業(yè)生買新公寓，所以選擇A.C選項(xiàng)沒有提到。

12.Side street不容易替換，錄音中可直接聽到定位，后面的great place for和推薦的概念做了轉(zhuǎn)換，畫作，珠寶和陶器是C選項(xiàng)藝術(shù)和工藝品的具體內(nèi)容。

13.題干中的Young Fashion competition是專有名詞，錄音中可快速定位到，be asked to….與must替換，music and technology和everyday life與B選項(xiàng)中的當(dāng)代文化對應(yīng)。

14.停車根據(jù)parking可以定位到，但是開始講了pay是is fine，所以和免費(fèi)不對應(yīng)，后面講到如果有購物收據(jù)就will not be charged，與免費(fèi)相符，所以答案為B.

15.題干為專有名詞，易與定位，后面提到他在Crawley路的北側(cè)，挨著通往花園的人行道，旁邊就是H選項(xiàng)。

16.在介紹了雕塑特征后，文中講到他在Hill Road,但是這條路有些彎曲，注意完整性，不要只看有單詞的那一段，又用在銀行對面縮小范圍。

17.這里用到了east所以鎖定地圖右側(cè)，并正對Hill路的交叉口，位于公園對面所以是F。

18.根據(jù)little road that leads off station square即可判斷答案為G。

19.文中提到了City路，有臨近Crawley路的交叉口，所以答案只能是I。

20.此圖敘述較長，容易跟丟，但是在后面提到了winding road，圖上只有B處有彎曲的路，所以即為答案。
