Rocky Bay Field Trip劍橋雅思11聽力-原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Rocky Bay Field Trip 聽力原文：

HELEN:I've brought my notes on our Biology Field Trip to Rocky Bay, Colin, so we can work on our report on the research we did together.

COLIN:OK.

I've got mine too.

Let's look at the aims of the trip first.

HELEN:Right.

What did you have?

COLIN:I just put something about getting experience of the different sorts of procedures used on a field trip.

But we need something about what causes different organisms to choose particular habitats.

HELEN: agree.

And something about finding out how to protect organisms in danger of dying out?

COLIN:In our aims?

But we weren't really looking at that.

HELEN:I suppose not.

OK, now there's the list of equipment we all had to bring on the field trip.

What did they tell us to bring a ruler for?

COLIN:It was something about measuring the slope of the shore, but of course we didn't need it because we were measuring wind direction, and we'd brought the compass for that ...

HELEN: But not the piece of string to hold up in the air!

Didn't Mr. Blake make a fuss about us leaving that behind.

COLIN:Yeah.

He does go on.

Anyway it was easy to get one from another of the students.

HELEN:NOW, the next section's the procedure.

I sent you the draft of that.

COLIN:Yeah.

It was clear, but I don't think we need all these details of what time we left and what time we got back and how we divided up the different research tasks.

HELEN:OK.

I'll look at that again.

COLIN:Then we have to describe our method of investigation in detail.

So let's begin with how we measured wave speed.

I was surprised how straightforward that was.

HELEN:I'd expected us to have some sort of high-tech device, not just stand there and count the number of waves per minute.

Not very precise, but I suppose it was good enough.

But the way we measured the amount of salt was interesting.

COLIN:In the water from the rock pools?

HELEN:Yeah, oh, I wanted to check the chemicals we used in the lab when we analysed those samples - was it potassium chromate and silver nitrate?

COLIN:That's right.

HELEN:OK.

And we need the map of the seashore.

You just left that to me.

And I had to do it while the tide was low, well that was OK, but the place I started it from was down on the beach, then I realised I should have gone up higher to get better visibility, so I had to start all over again.

But at least I'd got the squared paper or I'd have had problems drawing it all to scale.

COLIN:Yes.

It looks good.

We could get a map of the region off the internet and see if we need to make any changes.

HELEN:I had a look but I couldn't find anything.

But you took some pictures, didn't you?

COLIN:Yeah.

I'll email you them if you want.

HELEN:OK.

I'll make my amendments using those, then I can scan it into our report.

Great.

HELEN:NOW when we get to our findings I thought we could divide them up into the different zones we identified on the shore and the problems organisms face in each zone.

So for the highest area ...

COLIN:...

the splash zone?

HELEN:Yeah, we found mostly those tiny shellfish that have strong hard shells that act as protection.

COLIN:But not from other organisms that might eat them, predators?

HELEN:NO, that's not the main danger for them.

(Q27 - 28) But the shells prevent them from drying out because they're in the open air for most of the time.

COLIN:Right.

And since they're exposed, they need to be able to find some sort of shelter, or cover themselves up, (Q27 - 28) so they don't get too hot.

Then in the middle and lower zones, nearer the sea, we need to discuss the effects of wave action ...

HELEN:Yes, and how organisms develop structures to prevent themselves from being swept away, or even destroyed by being smashed against the rocks.

COLIN:I haven't done anything on the geological changes.

I don't know what to put for that.

HELEN:NO, we weren't concentrating on that.

Maybe we need to find some websites.

COLIN:Good idea.

I've got the lecture notes from Mr. Blake's geology course, but they're too general.

But we could ask him which books on our Reading List might be most helpful.

HELEN:Right.

OK, now I did a draft of the section of sources of possible error in our research, but I don't know if you agree.

For example, the size of the sample, and whether it's big enough to make any general conclusions from.

But I thought actually we did have quite a big sample.

COLIN:We did.

And our general method of observation seemed quite reliable.

But we might not be all that accurate as far as the actual numbers go.

HELEN:Yeah, (Q29 -30) we might have missed some organisms - if they were hiding under a rock, for example.

I wasn't sure about the way we described their habitats.

I decided it was probably OK.

COLIN:Yeah, and the descriptions we gave of the smaller organisms, they weren't very detailed, but they were adequate in this context.

(Q29 - 30) I'm not sure we identified all the species correctly though.

HELEN:OK, we'd better mention that.

Now, how ...

二、Rocky Bay Field Trip 聽力中文翻譯：

海倫：科林，我把我們在洛基灣進行的生物學實地考察的筆記帶來了，所以我們可以一起寫研究報告

科林：好的

我也有我的

讓我們先看看這次旅行的目的

海倫：對

你吃了什么？

科林：我只是想了解一下實地考察中使用的不同程序的經(jīng)驗

但我們需要了解是什么導致不同的生物體選擇特定的棲息地

海倫：同意

以及如何保護瀕臨滅絕的生物？

科林：在我們的目標中？

但我們并沒有真正考慮到這一點

海倫：我想不會吧

好了，下面是我們在實地考察時必須攜帶的設(shè)備清單

他們告訴我們帶尺子干什么？

科林：這是關(guān)于測量海岸坡度的東西，但我們當然不需要它，因為我們在測量風向，我們帶了羅盤來測量

海倫：但不是那根掛在空中的繩子！

布萊克先生不是對我們把這件事拋在腦后大驚小怪嗎

科林：是的

他確實繼續(xù)說下去

無論如何，從另一個學生那里很容易得到一個

海倫：現(xiàn)在，下一節(jié)是程序

我把草稿寄給你了

科林：是的

這很清楚，但我認為我們不需要所有這些細節(jié)，比如我們離開的時間和回來的時間，以及我們?nèi)绾蝿澐植煌难芯咳蝿?wù)

海倫：好的

我再看一遍

科林：那么我們必須詳細描述我們的調(diào)查方法

讓我們從測量波速開始

我很驚訝這是多么直截了當

海倫：我希望我們有某種高科技設(shè)備，而不僅僅是站在那里數(shù)數(shù)每分鐘的波浪數(shù)

不是很精確，但我想這已經(jīng)足夠好了

但是我們測量鹽含量的方法很有趣

科林：在巖石池的水里？

海倫：是的，哦，我想檢查一下我們在實驗室分析這些樣品時使用的化學物質(zhì)——是鉻酸鉀和硝酸銀嗎？

科林：沒錯

海倫：好的

我們需要海岸地圖

你把這個留給我了

我不得不在低潮的時候做這件事，這沒關(guān)系，但我開始做這件事的地方是在海灘上，然后我意識到我應(yīng)該爬得更高，以獲得更好的能見度，所以我不得不重新開始

但至少我有一張方格紙，否則我很難按比例畫出來

科林：是的

看起來不錯

我們可以從互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上獲取該地區(qū)的地圖，看看是否需要進行任何更改

海倫：我看了一下，但什么也沒找到

但是你拍了一些照片，不是嗎？

科林：是的

如果你愿意，我會給你發(fā)電子郵件

海倫：好的

我將使用這些修改，然后我可以將其掃描到我們的報告中

太棒了

海倫：現(xiàn)在，當我們得到我們的發(fā)現(xiàn)時，我想我們可以把它們分為我們在海岸上確定的不同區(qū)域，以及每個區(qū)域生物體面臨的問題

所以對于最高的區(qū)域

科林：

飛濺區(qū)？

海倫：是的，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)的大多是那些小貝類，它們有堅固的硬殼可以起到保護作用

科林：但不是來自其他可能吃掉它們的生物，捕食者？

海倫：不，那不是他們的主要危險

（問題27-28）但是貝殼可以防止它們變干，因為它們大部分時間都在戶外

科林：對

由于他們暴露在外，他們需要找到某種庇護所，或者把自己蓋起來，（問題27-28），這樣他們就不會太熱

然后，在靠近海洋的中下部區(qū)域，我們需要討論波浪作用的影響

海倫：是的，還有生物體是如何形成結(jié)構(gòu)來防止自己被沖走，甚至被巖石砸碎而被摧毀的

科林：我沒有做任何關(guān)于地質(zhì)變化的事情

我不知道該怎么說

海倫：不，我們沒有集中精力

也許我們需要找到一些網(wǎng)站

科林：好主意

我有布萊克先生地質(zhì)學課程的講稿，但太籠統(tǒng)了

但我們可以問他，我們的閱讀清單上哪些書可能最有用

海倫：對

好的，現(xiàn)在我做了一個關(guān)于我們研究中可能出現(xiàn)錯誤的來源部分的草稿，但我不知道你是否同意

例如，樣本的大小，以及樣本的大小是否足以得出任何一般性結(jié)論

但我想實際上我們有一個很大的樣本

科林：是的

我們的一般觀察方法似乎相當可靠

但就實際數(shù)字而言，我們可能沒有那么準確

海倫：是的，（問題29-30）我們可能錯過了一些生物——例如，如果它們藏在巖石下的話

我不確定我們描述它們棲息地的方式

我覺得可能沒問題

科林：是的，我們對小型生物的描述不是很詳細，但在這方面已經(jīng)足夠了

（問題29-30）但我不確定我們是否正確識別了所有物種

海倫：好的，我們最好提一下

現(xiàn)在，如何

21.A題干核心名詞為aim，主要限定成分為agree, include同時本題的選項較長，要注意選項中關(guān)鍵詞定位問題可通過錄音中Let’slook at the aims of the trip first確定題目位置，后文描述中出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but，接著提到we need something about what causes differentorganisms to choose particular habitats，其中something與factors對應(yīng)，causes與affecting對應(yīng)，habitats與where…live對應(yīng)，最后說Iagree，故A為正確選項

22.A題干核心名詞為equipment，主要限定成分為forget to take選項為單一名詞類，可以直接聽錄音進行選擇錄音中聽到the list ofequipment確定題目位置接著提到的tell us to bring a ruler與題干forget to take 不符，故排除C后面出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折But not the piece of string以及l(fā)eaving that behind，符合forget to take，故A為正確答案

23.C題干中procedure為主要定位詞，suggest a change為核心信息錄音中提到the next section’s the procedure確定題目位置后文出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折but I don’t think we need all these details of…符合選項C中the amount of information provided確定答案為C

24.B題干核心名詞為method，主要限定成分為measure wave speed，需要特別注意used to表示過去錄音中提到describe ourmethod確定題目位置，后文提到how straightforward that was與選項中simple to carry out對應(yīng)，確定選項B后面提到some sort of high-tech device, not just stand there and count…與選項C中special equipment不符，故排除C

25.B題目核心名詞為mistake，主要限定成分為first drawing…錄音中提到the place I started it from….，其中the place為B選項核心名詞，started對應(yīng)first后文中then I realised I should have gone up…，其中should have done意為“本應(yīng)該做但實際沒有做”，符合題干中的mistake，故B為答案

29-30. C E題目核心名詞為reasons, error，主要限定詞為includeorganism這個名詞出現(xiàn)在大部分選項中，所以該詞不能作為選項定位詞，應(yīng)選取其他名詞錄音中提到possibleerror，確定題目位置錄音中提到sample, general，對應(yīng)選項D中的generalisation, sample，但后面提及have quite a big sample，與選項中small不符，排除D接著提到not….accurate，對應(yīng)A選項中的inaccurate，但選項中的habitat與錄音中the actual numbers不符，故排除A后文提到的we might have missed some organisms與選項中missing some organisms對應(yīng), 故選E錄音最后中提到I’m not sure we identified all the species correctly though，對應(yīng)C選項中incorrect identification 確定C為正確答案
