Woman: Hello! Welcome to the travel depot! How can I help you?

Man: Well, I'm looking for a reasonably priced holiday. I went to South Africa for a month last year and I'd like to see North America this time maybe Canada.

The customer says he went to South Africa last year so the correct answer is C. Now we shall begin, you should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.

Woman: Hello! Welcome to the travel Depot! How can I help you?

Man: Well I'm looking for a reasonably priced holiday. I went to South Africa for a month last year and I'd like to see North America, this time maybe Canada but I'm also interested in Europe if the prices to Canada are too expensive. I'm on quite a tight budget, you see.

Woman: Well, you could go to Europe but I'll get some prices for Canada first. I've been to Vancouver, it's lovely at this time of year. And we have some special offers on at the moment.

Man: Ok, well I have some relatives over in Vancouver so that would be good. I can always travel around Europe next year. Besides, it may be a bit too hot for me at this time.

Woman: Right! Let's have a look at some prices then. When would you like to go?

Man: Sometime at the end of next month if possible but I'm quite flexible any time between the 24th and the 31st. I'd like to go for 3 weeks.

Woman: Well, there's lots of availability for those dates. Now if you're concerned about the cost, it's cheaper if you don't mind not flying direct.

Man: Sorry, what do you mean?

Woman: Well, if you don't mind changing planes then it's cheaper.

Man: Oh, well I don't mind changing things.

Woman: In that case, the cheapest flight I have leaves on the 25th and changes in New York. It's only a short stop. You'll be in the airport for two and a half hours. How does that sound?

Man: Sounds good! But what's the price?

Woman: That's four hundred and twelve pounds for a return flight but that doesn't include airport tax. Would you like to arrange any accommodation?

Man: No, I have a cousin I can stay with. All I need is the flight so think I'll take that one.

Woman: Right, I'll just check availability for your return. Three weeks did you say?

Man: Yes, that's right!

Woman: Okay, well there are seats available on the 14th or the 15th. Which one would you prefer?

Man: The 14th sounds good. Yes, from the 25th to the 14th sounds fine.

Woman: Our reserve that for you then. Can you tell me your name, please?

Man: Jim Jackson.

Woman: Is that J A C K S O N?

Man: That's right!

Woman: And can I take an address and contact number?

Man: Yes, it's 10 Allen Road, Oldham. Do you want a home number or my mobile?

Woman: Either's fine.

Man: Well, my home number is 051 433 398.

Woman: Okay, so you booked on flight number VN217 to Vancouver, leaving London Heathrow at 11:35 in the morning on the 25th, and returning on the 14th. So that's 20 nights. Now one more thing.

You now have some time to read questions 7 to 10. You now listen carefully and answer questions 7 to 10.

Woman: Now one more thing, do you have any travel insurance? We recommend all our clients take out some kind of cover even though most people don't end up needing it. Most people have it just for peace of mind.

Man: Well, what type of cover do you have?

Woman: There are two choices, the gold star and the silver star. Our most comprehensive cover is the gold star which will cost twenty-one pounds for the period you are away. It's a good policy because it covers almost all eventualities even extreme sports such as snowboarding and skydiving.

Man: Mm-hmm. What about the silver star?

Woman: That's 18 pounds but it doesn't cover you for any dangerous sports

Man: Well, for three pounds I think I'll take the first one, the gold cover please.

Woman: Right, and is there anything else I can help you with?

Man: Well, do you have any information about what to do in Vancouver?

Woman: Yes, I'm sure there's something on the computer that can help. Ah yes, there's a Shakespeare play at the theater but at $54. It's quite expensive. That starts at 8:00 p.m. The City Museum is really popular too, if you like that kind of thing. They have a special exhibition of Japanese armor next month. The entrance is free and the museum is open from 9 to 4:30 Monday to Saturday. Would you be interested in either of those?

Man: Oh well, maybe.

Woman: Well, I'm sure you can arrange that when you get there anyway. So, it's the flight and the gold star insurance, that's 433 pounds in total.

Man: Can I pay by Visa?

Woman: Yes, of course! If you start….

That is the end of Part 1. You now have half a minute to check your answers. Now turn to Part 2.

Woman: Thank you very much for inviting me here today. I understand that you all own your own home and some of you may be interested in buy an additional property here in the city so I hope you will find the information I am going to share with you useful and informative. I'm going to talk about the situation with property here in the city. The city center of any area is obviously going to have the highest prices and as more and more people are competing for houses in this area, both renting and buying are becoming increasingly difficult. It is most people's dream to one day own their own house. House ownership gives us a feeling of having achieved something and we can see clearly what we have worked so hard for all our lives. It can give us a sense of security for our old age and a knowledge that we will hopefully have something to pass on to our children. However, buying a house, particularly for first-time buyers is becoming more and more difficult. Not only due to increasing prices but also because of the need for a substantial deposit. For younger people, buying their first home is very difficult and often impossible. Young couples who cannot get the deposit together, need to rent for a long time and sometimes forever. While traditionally, homes near the center of the city have been the most desirable people are now looking further a field. This has happened for a number of reasons, the main one being that our style of work is changing along with that of other countries such as the USA. In certain professions, for example sales and computing, it is no longer necessary for people to be based in an office full-time. More and more people are beginning to work from home which means they can avoid the hustle and bustle of rush-hour traffic jams and to work and have more freedom to choose to live in a more rural and peaceful location. My company deals with finding property for both purchasers and renters in the city area. One of my main roles within the company is to find investment properties for people who wish to ahead for their future.

Woman: An investment property is usually at the cheaper end of the market. People buy investment properties not to live in but in addition to their own home in order to rent it out to other people. The advantage of putting your savings into property for the future is that you can be pretty certain that as a long-term investment. Your money will safely increase in value in line with inflation. Many people are turning to property investment instead of pension schemes as we hear the horror stories of countries such as the UK where people have invested all their lives into their pension schemes to find that now their money is relatively worthless. Houses automatically earn what is known as capital gains. That is for every year you owned the property it becomes more valuable and often gives a better rate of interest on your money than most banks do. However, that is not to say there are no risks. There are people who buy property when the market is high and prices are inflated beyond their true value, only to find that when the housing market slows down, they are in a state of negative equity. Negative equity is a situation that arises when you owe more for the house than the house itself is worth. In short, the best devices to be aware of the ups and downs of the housing market. property investment if handled correctly can be enormously satisfying. I hope that this has given you an insight into the basics of the property market. Thank you for listening! Please raise your hand if you have any questions and I will try to be of assistance.

Woman: Thank you very much for tuning in today to listen to our weekly hour on conservation issues. Last week, we spoke about the impact of environmental changes on primates and this week to continue the theme. We have invited Ana specialists by the name of Professor Andrew Ripley all the way from USA to tell us more about the problems faced by the cat family. Professor Ripley thank you very much for joining us today.

Man: It's my pleasure, thank you very much for inviting me.

Woman: So, I understand that you spent a great proportion of your time traveling the globe and monitoring changes in population levels of the cat family.

Man: Yes, that's correct. Of course, we're not talking about the domestic cat here but there man just a cousin such as the lion tiger and Jaguar to name but a few.

Woman: Which member of the cat family do you yourself find to be the most fascinating?

Man: Well, I've spent a lot of time recently studying Jaguars but the lion is still my personal favorite. It is the world's most social cat and unusual in the way in which it chooses to group together with others of its species. Pride of lions basking in the sunshine probably one of people's most vivid perceptions of the African bush.

Woman: Yes, certainly. I totally agree with you.

You now have some time to read questions 25 to 30. Now listen carefully and answer questions 25 to 30.

Woman: Can you tell me the current lion population in Africa these days.

Man: Well, it's very difficult to measure it accurately. The figures range from 100,000 to as few as 30,000 but it's generally estimated that there are 50,000. In order to maintain the population and protect the species from poachers, many move to protected areas.

Woman: Which member of the cat family do you feel is most at risk?

Man: For different reasons, a number of species of the cat family are endangered sometimes due to natural predators or environmental changes but mainly because of the threat of hunters. For example, I'm sure you're aware the bones and body parts of tigers have been and still are traditionally used in medicines in the Far East. Because of this and the demand for medicine made from tiger parts, their numbers have been falling for some time. And to date there are fewer than 6,000 tigers living in their natural habitat of the forests and plains of Asia.

Woman: What is being done to curb the population decrease?

Man: Well, specialists such as myself work closely with conservationists groups such as the World Wildlife Federation or WWF to protect tigers from illegal hunting. WWF considers the drop in tiger numbers to be catastrophic and they're working hard to conserve the populations in China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Russia.

Woman: I understand that the poaching is not the only problem faced by the leopard. Let me get this right! Is it the Snow Leopard which lives in the mountains in Asia?

Man: Yes, it is. The poaching has been a problem but not the most important. Its natural prey the animals at hunts is declining too. Its natural habitat in high-altitude area specifically the pastures as threatened by the growth of agriculture. It is the main problem for the Snow Leopard. It's going to be extremely difficult for numbers to recover, but again the WWF has been working hard to continue to fund projects to aid the snow leopard in Nepal and Pakistan and hopefully Bhutan very soon.

Woman: Well, this is fascinating information you are giving us, Professor. We are just going into a short commercial break when we come back, I have a few questions for you about the Puma and the Jaguar. Remember lessness there will be an opportunity to phone in and voice any opinions or questions you may have for the Professor in ten minutes.

Woman: Good afternoon, I'm pleased to see so many of you here today as I told you all on Monday the lecture on overpopulation has been postponed until next week as we have a guest speaker today. I'd like to introduce you all to Donald Mackenzie who has recently returned from a 12-month research project in America. He is here to share with us some of the results of his studies into the problem of illiteracy

Man: Hello, now as sociology students I have no doubt that you are aware that it is commonly believed that one indicator of a developed country, the level of education of its citizens. Now most of these nations have free compulsory education for all and strict teacher certification requirements, so it would logically follow that people from countries such as America would be highly educated. Yet, this isn't always so. In America alone, 42 million *s cannot read and 50 million can recognize so few printed words. They each have the reading ability of a ten-year-old frightening statistics indeed, but not as frightening as the trend suggested by current estimates, the number of illiterate *s is increasing by approximately two and a quarter million people each year and although global statistics have not been compiled as it suggests an extremely disturbing figure. Inevitably, this is having an impact on employment. In America the annual cost and welfare programs and unemployment compensation due to a literacy stands at six billion US dollars and an additional 237 billion a year in unrealized earnings is forfeited by people who let basic reading skills. There is also the cost of post school literacy programs which have been put in place in order to counter this increasing figure. A conservative estimate places the cost of these programs at 10 billion dollars each year and growing steadily.

Moving on, I'd like to talk about some of the causes of this increasing illiteracy. Children were taught to read by first learning the alphabet then the sounds of each letter, how they blended into syllables and how those syllables made up words. They were taught that English spelling is logical and systematic, and that to become a fluent reader it was necessary to master the alphabetic code in which English words are written. To the point where the code is used automatically with little conscious thought given to it. And to make myself to you, I mean readers could sound out the letters, spelling them phonetically. Once a child learned this ability, attention could be turned to more advanced content. It seldom if I ever occurred to teachers to give children word lists to read or to make beginner level readers memorize whole words before learning the components of those words or to memorize whole stories as today's proponents of the whole language approach recommend.

Several recent studies have found that 90% of remedial reading students and developed countries are not able to decode fluently, accurately and at an automatic level of response. The currently used whole language method was originally conceived then used in the early 1800s to teach the deaf how to read, a method which is long since being discarded by the teachers of the deaf themselves as inadequate and out murdered. English is an alphabetic language that when written uses letters to represent speech sounds when students were taught to read, they consciously identified the speech sounds and learned to recognize the letters used to represent them. They were then trained to apply this information to decode the names of unwritten words, understand their meaning and comprehend the information presented as a complete thought. The English language contains approximately half a million words. On these words, about 300 compose about three-quarters of the words that we use regularly. As I said in schools where the whole language method is taught, children are constantly memorizing sight words during the first three or four grades of school but I never taught how to unlock the meaning of the other 499 thousand seven hundred or more words. Whole language learning causes frustration, poor spelling and hostility towards reading. Very bright children who can't memorize long lists of words and retain their meaning are placed in special education. When all they need is to be taught that 26 letters of the alphabet, the 44 sounds they make, and the seventy common ways to spell those sounds.

Some researchers believe dyslexia and the symptoms of attention deficit disorder actually caused by this reversal of the normal learning sequence. So, why do faulty reading methods continue to be used? Well, in short, it's big business. The sale of instructional reading programs is big business today. Each year publishing companies compete for the adoption of reading programs and workbooks which have to be replaced annually concentrating on phonics would seriously reduce the cost of education.

雅思听力大纲概述

考试是听力阅读写作的笔试考试的第一门，一般在上午8点40左右开始0雅思听力考试的内容分为4个section，共40个题型，考试时间为40分钟(录音播放时间为30分钟)，其中录音只播放一次。

第一部分为两人对话的形式，往往为一人询问另外一人问题，对话内容为日常生活中的场景，如租房、求职、*车、银行、旅游等。这一部分在考试中通常为十道填空，但有时候也会出现选择或者匹配的情况，不过次数很少。

第二部分为独白的形式，内容包括但不限于公司简介、旅游景点、产品介绍、节日推广等。这一部分的题型相对较为杂乱，通常会是选择和匹配相结合。同时每个月出的地图也会出现在这一部分。但偶尔也会有填空题。

第三部分为对话的形式。但区别于第一部分的是它会是2到4人的对话。不过现在出现4个人的情况已经很少了。三个人中通常一个为老师，声线较粗，听起来比较成熟;另外两个一男一女，声线年轻，分别饰演学生。这一部分的题型跟第二部分一样，通常为选择和匹配的结合。但偶尔会有填空，不会有地图。

第四部分为独白的形式，通常会模拟一段课堂内容，讲解一些完全陌生的知识，如城市景观设计、鲸鱼搁浅、公司犯罪、 企业 文化 等。这一部分的题型通常为填空题，以大纲的形式出现。但有时候也会有选择(这种情况难度会更大一些)。匹配和地图几乎不会出现在这一部分。

当然以上只是大概的情况，有时候雅思官方也会很任性的随意出题。但大体来说，一套题目都会有至少20道的填空题，10道左右的选择题，以及10道左右的匹配和地图。

雅思听力题型之图形标签题题型

雅思听力题型—图形标签题题型详细说明

1. 问路题

这类题相对来说比较简单，对于考生来说也不太陌生，主要以 配对 选择为主，考大家对左右方向的区分。在遇到这类图形时，考生有几点是需要注意的：

①街道名称和已知建筑。这两点应该是图形中的唯一已知信息，考生应事先认清各条街道和各个建筑的大致方位，为之后的定位做好准备。如 opposite、next to、beside、in front of、behind这类表示方位的词往往会准确告诉大家所找答案的所在。

②起始点。在问路题中不仅要弄清楚起始点的所在，更重要的是听清楚在找到一个地方后是回到原点重新出发还是继续走，这对做题的整体思路都有非常大的影响。

③十字路口。问路题中的每个十字路口都非常关键，十字路口意味着左转或者右转的出现。因此大家首先要搞清楚十字路口的表达方式，如 crossing、crossroad、junction、intersection等，当看到红绿灯traffic lights的时候也意味着岔路口的出现。有岔路，也意味着转角corner的出现，这个词大家也一定需要留心。

④左和右。问路题中每转一个弯左右都会发生改变，因此要求考生能准确判断左右，否则前功尽弃。

2. 地图、平面图

在此类图形题中配对选择和按图填空都有可能出现。如果是填空题，要看清楚题号顺序，快速预测图形的描述顺序，以免漏题或写错位置。

这类图形更强调方位，如东南西北或上下左右，考生拿到题后可快速在图形上标注好东南西北，以免做题时反应不过来。填写答案时要注意已知信息的格式，有无大小写要求等。

3. 物体、流程图

这类图形强调的是空间感和顺序，以填空题为主，考生在看题时也需要注意顺序，预测描述过程。表示空间的词如top、bottom、in the front、in the back等都有可能出现。另外，根据已知信息对这些图形所表达的含义进行猜测，也能帮助理解，寻找答案。

雅思听力配对题都有什么技巧

要掌握雅思听力配对题技巧，我们先来看下雅思听力配对题的主要形式：

1.地图配对。地图配对这种形式相对比较简单，同义转换很少出现，只要跟着讲解地图的思路走，不弄错方向就不会有太大的问题。通常这种类型的题目会出现在section 1和section 2的参观旅游场景中，要求考生把地图中标注的字母和题目要求找到的地点对应起来。虽然选项数量较多，但题目很少出现同义转换，定位还是很简单的。

2.文字配对题则又可以分为两类：

(1)选项多于题干型：这类考题的选项一般是对题干进行解释说明，很容易出现同义转换。而且有些选项会比较相似，干扰性强。考生在审题时应明确题干的中心词，弄清问的是什么，为定位作好准备。另外，要快速浏览选项，记住大致意思，以免听到了答案却找不到选项，影响听题节奏。

(2)题干多于选项型：这类考题类似于把题干进行分类，一般选项为三个，需要重复使用。在考试中这种形式的考题通常是给出对某些事物的不同看法，根据说话人的表述作出选择。由于选项相对固定，考生要重点分析题干中的信息，避免由于题干同义转换带来的定位困难。另外说话人的语气和态度也能帮助我们作出选择，有时题目考的就是他们的言下之意，光听懂字面意思还不够。

雅思听力难题解析之地图题

一、重要性

地图题也可以称作图表题或标签题，在雅思听力中标签题应该算是最少的一种类型，平均出现概率为一年十次左右，可以称之为突袭型考题。虽然出现几率不多但是对于希望考高分的同学还是很必要的。这种题型往往都出现在section 2，因此在考试中这种题型的出现会非常影响做题的心情以及状态从而导致后面考试的失败。

二、难点及应对

恐慌

这种题型在剑桥真题中出现的很少，因此在考试中遇到这种题目的时候往往会很恐慌。对于这种题型，建议考生首先要有信心，实际上这种题目是考试中比较简单的类型。这实际上也是我们需要对付雅思考试所有题型的一种方式——心态。

审图

对于地图题，最重要的是起点、说话人行进的方向、地图中的特殊符号。

下面我们就来看看剑桥上面出现的题目。

剑6 Test 3 Section2

Questions 14-17

Label the map below:

Write the correct letter, A-J next to questions 14-17

ROSEWOOD HOUSE AND GARDENS

14. Pear Alley _________.

15. MulberryGarden__________.

16. Shop _________.

17. Tea Room __________.

这道题是一个选择题，也是考试中最常考的地图题的形式。这种题目最重要的就是起点和行进方向。

Tapescripts: ... We are at the Information Centre. Follow the path ...

这边给了我们2个很重要的信息，起点(Information Centre)，行进方向(Follow the path)，这是我们做所有这种类型的题目需要掌握的。这道题在地图上给定了起点和方向，做题会相对简单很多，这两个非常重要的信息就必须在审图中找寻出来。

另外提醒考生需要注意的就是特殊符号，在这个图中的特殊符号是什么呢?我们仔细观察可以发现，在几个图形中有小小的“=”，这个到地是什么?自然就是在听力中需要重点关注的信息。

Tapescripts: ... Follow the path round the second corner and on your right you will see the entrance to theMulberryGarden...

通过这句话我们会发现这个“=”实际上就代表着entrance，而在house周围有3个“=”，自然也就是3个entrance，分别是正门、侧门和后门(front entrance, side entrance and back entrance)。

通过这样的3个要点，我们也就能够比较好的跟上作者的节奏，也就不容易在地图的“迷宫”里面走失。

再来看到下面这个例子：

剑4 Test 1 Section 2

Questions 14-20

Label the plan below:

Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.

这个例子和上面的有所不同，并没有选项，而是一个填空题。首先我们需要找到起点。由于雅思考试的顺序性，因此这个题目的起点是很明确的，也就是第一道题(第14题)，而行进方向就是按照题号的方向。这边我们会发现从14题到20题，在地图上面呈现的路线是极为混乱的，也就是这种类型的地图题，不会按照传统的顺时针或者逆时针进行。因此审图的时候找到了这两点信息后，就可以开始听力了。

当然填空题自然有传统的难点就是单词问题，这边需要提醒考生注意的是：由于地图题都是填写地点，因此基本上都是需要首字母大写的。

总体来说，地图题并没有想象中的这么难，我们如果抓住了里面的精髓还是可以比较顺利的拿下这些分数的——抓住起点，行进方向，特殊符号这三大要素，问题自然就迎刃而解了
