Manham Port劍橋雅思10聽(tīng)力-原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Manham Port 聽(tīng)力原文：

Welcome to Manham Port, where a thousand years of history are brought to life.

All the family can enjoy a day out at Manham: visit our copper mine, see models of the machinery it used, have your photo taken in nineteenth-century costume, experience at first hand how people lived at different stages throughout history, and especially how children studied, worked and played.

The port of Manham is located in beautiful and peaceful countryside, on a bend in the great River Avon,  and developed here because it's the highest navigable point of the Avon—boats can go no higher up this river—and proved a handy place to load and unload cargo to and from the sea, which is over 23 miles away.

A small port was already established here when, about 900 years ago, tin was discovered nearby,  though it wasn't until the Industrial Revolution, when a tremendous need for metals of all kinds developed, that Manham expanded to become one of the busiest ports in the country.

And because it was already so busy, prospectors began to look for other minerals, and by the end of the nineteenth century, lead, copper, manganese and arsenic were added to the cargos leaving Manham.

In the early days, the ores had been smelted—or processed—in the same area they were mined.

But, as demand grew, the smelting process required huge factory furnaces or fires to melt the metal from the rock and  there was not enough coal in the local area, so the rocks containing minerals had to be shipped long distances.

Sadly,  in the twentieth century, the great port of Manham declined, and thousands of workers were forced to emigrate out of the area.

The building at the port fell into disrepair, and the place became almost forgotten.

But then, the Manham Trust was formed to conserve the historical resources of the area.

It organised scores of local volunteers to remove undergrowth to find the original outlines of the installations.

It then brought in paid professionals to match installations with maps of the original port complex and to set about reconstructing it.

Today you can see the results of this ambitious programme of restoration.

The intention, and we believe this will be realised before the end of the year, is to return Manham Port to the condition it reached at its peak as ‘the greatest copper port in the country’.

But what can you do and see on your visit today?

Here are just a few highlights.

We suggest you start with the visit to the copper mine.

Travel on converted mining trains and journey into the depths of the mountain along seams once worked by hundreds of miners.

Watch out especially for the great pumping machines which rid the mine of water.

But please be warned that,  like all mines, ours is very dark and dosed in and we do say that children under five and also dogs should NOT be taken into the mine.

The next recommended visit is to the village school.

While looking round the classrooms, take a special look at our display of games, which is one of the largest in the world.

And  it’s recommended that you time your visit to coincide with a guided tour.

This will give you the opportunity to ask lots of questions.

Near the school is the beautiful old sailing ketch called ‘The George'.

You are welcome to board the boat and look round the cabins.

Look out for the ship's wheel which was missing until only five years ago when it was dredged out of the silt by a local fisherman.

We have no idea how it got there but it's been polished and proudly restored to its original place on the boat.

Please take care going down the ladders if you wish to visit the lower deck—we don't recommend you allow young children to use them.

So we hope you have a memorable visit to Manham Port and will tell your friends all about us.

二、Manham Port 聽(tīng)力中文翻譯：

歡迎來(lái)到曼哈姆港，這里有著千年的歷史。

全家都可以在曼哈姆度過(guò)一天：參觀我們的銅礦，看看它使用的機(jī)器模型，穿著十九世紀(jì)的服裝拍照，親身體驗(yàn)歷史上不同階段的人們的生活，尤其是孩子們的學(xué)習(xí)、工作和玩耍。

曼哈姆港位于美麗而寧?kù)o的鄉(xiāng)村，位于雅芳大河的一個(gè)彎道上，之所以在這里發(fā)展，是因?yàn)樗茄欧即淖罡咄ê近c(diǎn)，不能再高過(guò)這條河，事實(shí)證明它是一個(gè)方便的地方，可以在23英里外的海上裝卸貨物。

大約900年前，當(dāng)錫在附近被發(fā)現(xiàn)時(shí)，這里已經(jīng)建立了一個(gè)小港口，但直到工業(yè)革命，對(duì)各種金屬的巨大需求發(fā)展起來(lái)，曼哈姆才擴(kuò)張成為該國(guó)最繁忙的港口之一。

由于當(dāng)時(shí)已經(jīng)非常繁忙，探礦者開(kāi)始尋找其他礦物，到十九世紀(jì)末，離開(kāi)曼哈姆的貨物中添加了鉛、銅、錳和砷。

早期，這些礦石是在開(kāi)采的同一地區(qū)冶煉或加工的。

但是，隨著需求的增長(zhǎng)，冶煉過(guò)程需要巨大的工廠熔爐或大火來(lái)熔化巖石中的金屬，而且當(dāng)?shù)貨](méi)有足夠的煤炭，因此含有礦物的巖石必須長(zhǎng)途運(yùn)輸。

可悲的是，在二十世紀(jì)，曼哈姆大港衰落了，數(shù)千名工人被迫遷出該地區(qū)。

港口的建筑年久失修，幾乎被遺忘。

但后來(lái)，曼哈姆信托基金會(huì)成立，以保護(hù)該地區(qū)的歷史資源。

它組織了數(shù)十名當(dāng)?shù)刂驹刚咭瞥嗄緟?，以找到設(shè)施的原始輪廓。

然后，該公司聘請(qǐng)了付費(fèi)專業(yè)人員，將設(shè)施與原有港口綜合體的地圖進(jìn)行匹配，并著手對(duì)其進(jìn)行重建。

今天，你可以看到這一雄心勃勃的修復(fù)計(jì)劃的成果。

我們相信，這一目標(biāo)將在年底前實(shí)現(xiàn)，目的是將曼哈姆港恢復(fù)到其作為“全國(guó)最大的銅港口”的巔峰狀態(tài)。

但你今天的訪問(wèn)能做些什么，看到些什么呢？

這里只是一些亮點(diǎn)。

我們建議您從參觀銅礦開(kāi)始。

乘坐改裝過(guò)的采礦列車，沿著數(shù)百名礦工曾經(jīng)開(kāi)采過(guò)的礦層進(jìn)入深山。

尤其要注意那些能把礦井里的水排除掉的大型抽水機(jī)。

但請(qǐng)注意，像所有的地雷一樣，我們的地雷非常黑暗，而且被毒死了，我們確實(shí)說(shuō)過(guò)，五歲以下的兒童和狗不應(yīng)該被帶進(jìn)地雷。

建議下一次參觀鄉(xiāng)村學(xué)校。

環(huán)顧教室，特別看看我們的游戲展示，這是世界上最大的游戲之一。

建議您將參觀時(shí)間安排在導(dǎo)游陪同下。

這將給你機(jī)會(huì)問(wèn)很多問(wèn)題。

學(xué)校附近有一艘名叫“喬治”號(hào)的漂亮的舊帆船。

歡迎您上船，參觀船艙。

要當(dāng)心這艘船的輪子，直到五年前，一位當(dāng)?shù)貪O民才把它從淤泥中挖出來(lái)。

我們不知道它是如何到達(dá)那里的，但它已經(jīng)被打磨過(guò)，并自豪地恢復(fù)到了船上原來(lái)的位置。

如果您想?yún)⒂^下層甲板，請(qǐng)小心下梯子。我們建議您不要讓幼兒使用梯子。

因此，我們希望您有一個(gè)難忘的訪問(wèn)曼哈姆港，并將告訴您的朋友關(guān)于我們的一切。

五、Manham Port 聽(tīng)力答案解析

11. B　該題的定位詞是題干中的originally develop，三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的關(guān)鍵信息分別是safe from enemy attack, convenient for river transport 和good position on the sea coast。錄音一開(kāi)始談了很多與題目不相關(guān)的信息，直到聽(tīng)到The port of Manham is located in beautiful and peaceful countryside. 就可以排除選項(xiàng)C，因?yàn)镃 說(shuō)的是在海邊。之后可以聽(tīng)到...developed here... 進(jìn)行定位，接著用因果關(guān)系進(jìn)行解釋because it’s the highest navigable point of the Avon—boats can go no higher up this river—and proved a handy place to load and unload cargo to and from the sea. 其中通過(guò)proved a handy place，就可以判斷出答案是B。

12. B　該題的定位詞是sudden expansion 和Industrial Revolution，三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的關(guān)鍵

信息分別是improvement in mining techniques, increase in demand for metals 和discovery of tin。 可以通過(guò)錄音中的...it wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution 進(jìn)行定位，緊接著錄音中的...when a tremendous need for metals of all kinds developed, that Manham expanded to become one of the busiest ports... 和選項(xiàng)B 中的demand for metals 剛好一致，而錄音中并沒(méi)有提到選項(xiàng)A 中有關(guān)采礦技術(shù)的問(wèn)題，也沒(méi)有提到發(fā)現(xiàn)了錫（tin），所做答案為B。

13. A　該題的定位詞是題干中的rocks, sent away 和processed。三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都很簡(jiǎn)潔，分別對(duì)應(yīng)的關(guān)鍵信息是“能源的缺乏”“欠發(fā)達(dá)的交

通系統(tǒng)”和“缺乏技術(shù)”?？梢酝ㄟ^(guò)錄音中的...the ores had been smelted—or processed... 找到定位，下一句錄音出現(xiàn)了...there was not enough coal in the local area, so the rocks containing minerals had to be shipped long distances. 這句話中的not enough coal 就相當(dāng)于選項(xiàng)A 中的shortage of fuel，因此答案為A。而該句中的rocks 和shipped long distances 也和題干中的關(guān)鍵詞rocks 和sent away 分別對(duì)應(yīng)。并且，錄音中也沒(méi)有提到交通或者技術(shù)的問(wèn)題。

14. A　該題的定位詞是題干中的happened, declined 和twentieth century。三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的關(guān)鍵信息分別是“勞工離開(kāi)”“傳統(tǒng)技術(shù)的流失”和“建筑物有了新的用途”。緊接上一題，可以通過(guò)錄音中的...in the twentieth century, the great port of Manham declined... 找到定位，接著錄音

中出現(xiàn)了thousands of workers were forced to emigrate out of the area，該句中出現(xiàn)了選項(xiàng)A 中的workers，emigrate out of the area 就等同于選項(xiàng)A 中的went away，因此答案很快判斷出是A。答案出現(xiàn)后，錄音中出現(xiàn)了The building at the port fell into disrepair, and the place became almost forgotten. 該句說(shuō)的是“港口的建筑陷入失修并被人們遺忘的狀態(tài)”，并沒(méi)有提到選項(xiàng)C 中的“有新的用途”，所以選項(xiàng)C 是干擾項(xiàng)。

15. C　該題的定位

詞是Manham Trust 這個(gè)專有名詞和hope to do。三個(gè)選項(xiàng)的關(guān)鍵信息分別是“發(fā)現(xiàn)了原址”“為失業(yè)人群提供就業(yè)”和“重建港口建筑群”。錄音中的of the installations 和選項(xiàng)A 中的discover the location 不符，所以是干擾項(xiàng)。后面一句中的It then brought in paid professionals to match installations. 意思是它帶來(lái)了需要付費(fèi)的專家們，而不是選項(xiàng)B 中的provide jobs，所以也是干擾項(xiàng)。該句后面的to set about reconstructing it，用不定式形式告訴了我們這是在說(shuō)目的，并且reconstructing 就相當(dāng)于選項(xiàng)C 中的rebuild，因此答案為C。

16.trains　該空格的定位詞是adapted miners’, take visitors 和mountain，通過(guò)讀題可以判斷出空格填寫的應(yīng)該是經(jīng)過(guò)改裝后的礦工的一種什么樣的交通工具把游客帶往山區(qū)。錄音先提到了copper mine，考生此時(shí)應(yīng)該關(guān)注后面一句中是否出現(xiàn)了交通工具。然后錄音說(shuō)Travel on converted mining trains and journey into the depths of the mountain... 就告訴了我們答案應(yīng)該是句子中唯一的一種交通工具trains，需要注意的是答案trains 需要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

17.dark　該空格的定位詞是enclosed 和unsuitable for children and animals。通過(guò)空格后的and 可知答案應(yīng)該和enclosed 一起出現(xiàn)，詞性也應(yīng)該是動(dòng)詞分詞或者形容詞。錄音中...like all mines, ours is very dark and closed in... 這句話很容易找到和closed in 并列出現(xiàn)的dark 這個(gè)形容詞，所以答案是dark。

18.games　該空格的定位詞是classrooms 和special exhibition。通過(guò)讀題，可以判斷出空格應(yīng)該填名詞，是一種展出的物品。通過(guò)錄音中的While looking round the classrooms，一下子就找到了定位，然后句子后面的take a special look at our display of games 中的display 對(duì)應(yīng)卷面上的exhibition，因此答案就是display 后面出現(xiàn)的games，注意要用該詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。

19.guided tour　該空格的定位詞是空格后面的recommended。卷面上的信息是a ........... is recommended，意思是“一個(gè)什么東西是被推薦的”，所以判斷出答案應(yīng)為名詞的單數(shù)形式。錄音中提到And it’s recommended that you time your visit to coincide with a guided tour. 句子采用了it 這個(gè)形式主語(yǔ)，后面才是推薦的信息。從句中的guided tour 便是我們需要找的答案，需要注意的是由于吞音，考生可能會(huì)誤把guided 寫成guide。

20.ladders　該空格的定位詞是空格前面的children shouldn’t use。考生在讀題的時(shí)候就可以判斷出題目的意思是孩子們不應(yīng)該使用一種什么東西。錄音中提到but it’s been polished and proudly restored to its original place on the boat. 這句話就先提到了第20 題前一個(gè)方框中的ship 和restored。接下來(lái)考生就應(yīng)該著重聽(tīng)下一句對(duì)應(yīng)的advice。接下來(lái)錄音提到Please take care going down the ladders if you... 這句話中的take care 對(duì)應(yīng)的就是卷面上的advice，所以考生應(yīng)該先記錄下后面出現(xiàn)的ladders。接下來(lái)的錄音提到we don’t recommend you allow young children to use them. 這句話就告訴我們答案已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)過(guò)了，答案應(yīng)為ladders。
