Water Heater劍橋雅思9聽力-原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Water Heater聽力原文：

MAN:Hello?

WOMAN:Hi.

It's Laura Carlton here.

We've just arrived at the holiday flat,but I can't get the hot water and heating to work.

MAN:Oh right!

That's easy.

Don't worry.

In the upstairs cupboard,you'll find the water heater.

You'll see three main controls on the left at the bottom of the heater.

The first one-the round one on the far left-is the most important one for the heating and hot water.

It's the main control switch.

Make sure it's in the'on'position.

The switch itself doesn't light up,but the little square below will be black if the switch is off.

That's probably what's happened-it's got switched off by mistake.

The middle one of these three controls-you'll see it's slightly larger than the first one–controls the radiators.

If you feel cold while you're there and need the radiators on,this needs to be turned to maximum.

The last of the three controls–the one on the right-is usually on about a number four setting which for the water in the taps is usually quite hot enough.

Below the heating controls in the middle is a small round Plastic button.

If there isn't enough water in the pipes,sometimes the heater goes out.

If this happens you'll need to press this button to reset the heater.

Hold it in for about five seconds and the heater should come on again.

Then there's a little square indicator under the third knob that's a kind of alarm light.

It’ll flash if you need to reset the heater.

WOMAN:It sounds complicated...

MAN:I'm sure you won't have any problems with it.

There should be some more instructions on the side of the heater.

Call me back if you can’t make it work.

WOMAN:Okay.

WOMAN:While you're on the phone,we haven't managed to find a few things we need,like extra pillows for the beds and some washing powder.

Is there any here?

MAN:Pillows...

yes.

If you look in the cupboard,the large white one upstairs-to the left of the bathroom door-there should be four or five on the top shelf.

And if you want to do some washing,there's some powder for that...

probably by the back door.

There's a kind of shelf there above the sink.

In fact,I'm sure there's some there,in a large blue box.

You need about half a cup full for each wash.

And that reminds me,the spare key to the back door is hanging on a hook on the wall by the sitting room window.

Please make sure to put it back when you've used it.

The previous guests lost it in the garden and I had to get another one made!

And if you have any trouble with the lamps,you'll find some spare bulbs in a large cardboard box.

It's on top of the washing machine with all kinds of useful things in it.

Oh,and another thing I forgot to mention when we last spoke...

WOMAN:Yes?

MAN:I’ve left you a local map,so you'll be able to find your way around easily.

It shows the whole area.

I put it in the top drawer of the chest under the TV in your bedroom.

There's a whole file of local information in there too.

WOMAN:Thanks.

What about visiting the town?

Can you give us any advice?

MAN:Yes.

You'll need to take the car.

It's too far to walk from the flat really.

You have to pay to leave your car in all the car parks now I'm afraid...

I like the one that's by the station best and you can walk to the town centre from there in five minutes.

That's where all the best restaurants are.

But if you want a takeaway,the Italian one does really good pasta and pizzas.

Call 7-3 double 2.8-1 for that one,or 7 double 6,double 1.9 for the Chinese.

They're both good and they'll both deliver to the flat.

As for places to visit,yes,do go and see the railway museum.

The exhibition is small but really good.

It gets very crowded on Sundays,so I suggest you visit it on a quieter day,later in the week,but not on Thursdays which is market day-you won't find anywhere to park and it's also the only day of the week when they're not open!

Anything else?

WOMAN:Not for the moment.

Thanks!

二、Water Heater聽力中文翻譯：

男：喂？

女士：嗨。

我是勞拉·卡爾頓。

我們剛到度假公寓，但我不能讓熱水和暖氣工作。

男人：哦，對了！

這很簡單。

別擔(dān)心。

在樓上的櫥柜里，你會找到熱水器。

您將在加熱器底部的左側(cè)看到三個主控件。

第一個——最左邊的圓形——是供暖和熱水最重要的一個。

這是主控制開關(guān)。

確保它處于“開”位置。

開關(guān)本身不會亮起，但如果開關(guān)關(guān)閉，下面的小正方形將為黑色。

這可能就是發(fā)生的情況——它被錯誤地關(guān)掉了。

這三個控件中的中間一個（你會看到它略大于第一個）控制散熱器。

如果你在那里感到冷，需要打開暖氣片，則需要將其調(diào)到最大程度。

三個控制裝置中的最后一個——右邊的那個——通常設(shè)置在四號左右，水龍頭里的水通常都很熱。

在中間的加熱控制裝置下方是一個小的圓形塑料按鈕。

如果水管里沒有足夠的水，有時熱水器就會熄火。

如果發(fā)生這種情況，您需要按此按鈕重置加熱器。

保持約五秒鐘，加熱器應(yīng)再次啟動。

然后在第三個旋鈕下面有一個小方形指示器，它是一種報警燈。

如果你需要重置加熱器，它會閃爍。

女人：聽起來很復(fù)雜。。。

男：我相信你不會有任何問題的。

加熱器側(cè)面應(yīng)該有更多說明。

如果你做不到，請給我回電話。

女士：好的。

女士：當(dāng)你在打電話時，我們還沒有找到一些我們需要的東西，比如額外的枕頭和洗衣粉。

這里有嗎？

男人：枕頭。。。

對

如果你往櫥柜里看，樓上的白色大櫥柜——浴室門的左邊——最上面的架子上應(yīng)該有四到五個。

如果你想洗衣服，這里有一些洗衣粉。。。

可能在后門。

水槽上方有一種架子。

事實上，我肯定有一些，在一個藍(lán)色的大盒子里。

每次洗漱大約需要半杯水。

這提醒了我，后門的備用鑰匙掛在客廳窗戶旁邊墻上的掛鉤上。

請確保用完后放回原處。

之前的客人在花園里把它弄丟了，我不得不再弄一個！

如果你對這些燈有任何問題，你會在一個大紙箱里找到一些備用燈泡。

它在洗衣機的頂部，里面裝著各種有用的東西。

哦，還有一件事我上次說話時忘了提。。。

女人：是嗎？

男：我給你留了一張本地地圖，這樣你就可以很容易地找到自己的路了。

它顯示了整個區(qū)域。

我把它放在你臥室電視機下箱子的最上面的抽屜里。

那里也有一個完整的本地信息文件。

女士：謝謝。

去城里看看怎么樣？

你能給我們一些建議嗎？

男：是的。

你需要開車。

從公寓走出去實在太遠(yuǎn)了。

恐怕現(xiàn)在你得付錢才能把車停在所有的停車場里。。。

我最喜歡車站旁邊的那家，你可以從那里步行五分鐘到市中心。

那是所有最好的餐廳。

但是如果你想要外賣，意大利的那家做的意大利面和披薩真的很好吃。

打7-3 double 2.8-1換那個，或打7 double 6，double 1。9對于中國人。

他們都很好，都會送到公寓。

至于參觀的地方，是的，一定要去看看鐵路博物館。

展覽雖小，但確實很好。

星期天會很擁擠，所以我建議你在一周的晚些時候，在一個比較安靜的日子去參觀，但不要在星期四，也就是集市日——你找不到停車的地方，而且這也是一周中唯一一天他們不開放！

還有別的嗎？

女士：現(xiàn)在不行。

謝謝

五、Water Heater聽力答案解析

11.B錄音一開始有大量與題目關(guān)系很小的介紹性信息，并未開始介紹熱水器的使用，直到錄音出現(xiàn)The first one—the round one on the far left...判斷出本題答案即將出現(xiàn)，從后面一句It’s the main control switch,確定答案為B。

12.C緊接11題錄音做了很多解釋，其中，多次出現(xiàn)switch都提示考生這些信息是在對control switch進行解釋。緊接著出現(xiàn)了一個middle容易讓考生誤認(rèn)為是介紹本題中所對應(yīng)的按鈕，但錄音中傳出controls the radiators，即為第一排的按鈕。后面一句Below the heating control in the middle...判斷出為本題所指的按鈕，后面一句傳出...press this button to reset...可確定答案為C。

13.E錄音中的...a little square indicator under the third knob...暗示考生本題出現(xiàn)，緊接著出現(xiàn)錄音alarm light，alarm就是選項中warning的替換詞，所以可確定答案為E。

14.B作為第一道配對題，考生很容易聽到題干中的pillows，男士回答Pillows...yes，此處錄音中有很明顯的停頓?？忌梢詮暮竺媪⒓闯霈F(xiàn)的If you look into the cupboard...中找到答案。

注意錄音中有明顯停頓的后一句多包含正確答案。

15.E定位題干的washing powder，錄音中And if you want to do some washing,there’s some washing powder...出現(xiàn)題干中的定位詞，后面?zhèn)鞒龅?..by the back door.There’s a kind of shelf...。兩部分中的信息提到了選項E中的shelf和back door。后面的...in a large blue box可能會干擾考生，誤導(dǎo)其選A，但是錄音并沒有提到A選項中的washing machine。

16.D該題的陷阱在于錄音中提及的key緊挨著to the back door，容易讓考生誤認(rèn)為答案為E。

實際上，這個介詞短語是修飾key的，本句的主干實則為key is hanging by the sitting room window，其中by和選項D中的next to為同義替換。

17.A錄音中的And if you have any trouble with the lamps...暗示考生題干light bulb即將出現(xiàn)。

緊接著錄音出現(xiàn)...you’ll find some spare bulbs in a large cardboard box.It’s on top of the washing

machine.。本題難度不大，只要聽到bulb的發(fā)音，必然會聽到選項A中的兩個核心詞，后面的錄音也未出現(xiàn)任何干擾信息。

18.C錄音中的...another thing I forgot to mention...提示考生新的信息即將出現(xiàn)，結(jié)果回答的錄音傳出I’ve left you a local map，即出現(xiàn)題干定位詞，后面出現(xiàn)I put it in the top drawer of the chest...可以確定答案，與17題一樣，答案定位處左右并未出現(xiàn)任何干擾信息。

19.732281用卷面上的表達(dá)，如best place，park，town，station，phone，takeaway pizza，來幫助我們定位。繼18題答案后，考生聽到What about visiting the town?提示后文討論的將是本題的內(nèi)容。但在本題答案出現(xiàn)前有很多干擾信息存在，所以需要考生弱聽此部分內(nèi)容。在聽到題干中最后一個定位詞pizzas后就聽到電話號碼，但困擾考生的是錄音讀出兩個號碼，考生都應(yīng)該做好記錄。在第一個號碼前提及了But if you want a takeaway,the Italian one does really good pasta and pizzas.，可知題干中提及的takeaway指的就是該號碼，并非后面提到的for the Chinese。

20.Thursday(s)該題通過空格前的信息，判斷出應(yīng)該是需要考生定位博物館閉館的日期。首次聽到含有日期的句子為...very crowded on Sundays...可知并非閉館日。緊接著出現(xiàn)...not on Thursdays...和解釋the only day...when they’re not open!可確定答案。
