New Union Building劍橋雅思4聽力-原文翻譯及答案解析

一、New Union Building 聽力原文：

We're very grateful that the Committee has agreed that a representative for the Students' Union can present students' suggestions about the design for the proposed new Union building.

We appreciate that some of our ideas may not be feasible in the circumstances, but we do feel that it is important that the ultimate beneficiaries of the facilities should have some say in its design.

If I could start by briefly explaining what steps were taken to find out student opinion and how we have arrived at conclusions.

Firstly, a meeting was held in the current Union for our SU Committee to explain the options.

Then we invited all students to submit written suggestions for the design, placing cards in a suggestion box.

These suggestions then provided the basis for the design of a (Q31-32)questionnaire, which was completed by (Q31-32)approximately two thousand of the College students over a period of three weeks.

Finally, the SU Committee collated the results and drew up a report.

If I can just hand around a copy of that report.

This presentation is essentially a summary and discussion of the key points of this report.

So , in broad terms , the consensus was as follows.

Firstly , regarding the crucial matter of the site , we presented the three options that you have proposed.

One: in the city centre , near the Faculty of Education; two: on the outskirts of the city , near the park , and three: out of town , near the halls of residence.

We asked students to cite reasons for and against these sites and , and there was remarkable agreement on all three.

Site One was unpopular because of traffic and parking problems.

Site Two had a number of supporters , mainly because it was close to most lecture rooms.

And Site Three , out of town , near the halls of residence was clearly the most popular because of access from living quarters.

It was clear that the Union was mainly to be used after lectures.

It was also felt that the larger site would allow more room for a choice of facilities.

Our second area of interest was obviously the facilities: there was minimal interest in having a library on the premises, but one option seemed to be a reading room instead - more useful.

We would like the current table games room to be replaced with a small gym.

And, if possible a small swimming pool - not, of course, Olympic-sized!

There was a large number of respondents in favour of a travel agent’s and insurance centre.

We also request that there be the offices of the Student Counselling Centre, moving this from the Refectory.

There was, however, much disagreement about whether to build a drama theatre.

Just over forty per cent of the respondents were in favour, but a largish minority were strongly against it, claiming that it is elitist and a waste of funds.

Essentially the Jury is out on that.

Finally, given the number of unfortunate incidents in the current Union over the past few months, a strong point was repeatedly made about security.

The recommendations would be at least video surveillance and security personnel who would check Student Union Cards on request.

We doubt if it would be feasible to have a check at reception of all people coming in.

Well, this is the summary of the views of the student population.

As I say, fuller details are given in our report but I'm happy to take any questions if you have them .. (fade out).

二、New Union Building 聽力中文翻譯：

我們非常感謝委員會(huì)同意學(xué)生會(huì)的一名代表可以就擬議的新聯(lián)合會(huì)大樓的設(shè)計(jì)提出學(xué)生的建議。

我們理解，我們的一些想法在這種情況下可能不可行，但我們確實(shí)認(rèn)為，設(shè)施的最終受益人在其設(shè)計(jì)中應(yīng)該有一些發(fā)言權(quán)，這一點(diǎn)很重要。

請(qǐng)?jiān)试S我首先簡(jiǎn)要說(shuō)明為了解學(xué)生意見采取了哪些步驟，以及我們是如何得出結(jié)論的。

首先，在當(dāng)前的工會(huì)中，我們的SU委員會(huì)召開了一次會(huì)議，解釋各種選擇。

然后，我們邀請(qǐng)所有學(xué)生提交設(shè)計(jì)的書面建議，將卡片放在建議框中。

這些建議為（Q31和32）問(wèn)卷的設(shè)計(jì)提供了依據(jù)，該問(wèn)卷由（Q31和32）大約2000名大學(xué)生在三周的時(shí)間內(nèi)完成。

最后，SU委員會(huì)整理了結(jié)果并起草了一份報(bào)告。

如果我能交一份報(bào)告的話。

本演示文稿本質(zhì)上是對(duì)本報(bào)告要點(diǎn)的總結(jié)和討論。

因此，從廣義上講，共識(shí)如下。

首先，關(guān)于網(wǎng)站的關(guān)鍵問(wèn)題，我們介紹了您提出的三個(gè)選項(xiàng)。

一：在市中心，靠近教育學(xué)院；第二個(gè)：在市郊，公園附近；第三個(gè)：城外，住宅大廳附近。

我們要求學(xué)生們舉出支持和反對(duì)這些網(wǎng)站的理由，并且在這三個(gè)方面達(dá)成了顯著的一致。

由于交通和停車問(wèn)題，一號(hào)場(chǎng)地不受歡迎。

第二網(wǎng)站有很多支持者，主要是因?yàn)樗拷蠖鄶?shù)演講室。

而位于城外、靠近住宅大廳的第三個(gè)地點(diǎn)顯然是最受歡迎的，因?yàn)榭梢詮木幼^(qū)進(jìn)入。

很明顯，工會(huì)主要是在講座之后使用的。

還有人認(rèn)為，場(chǎng)地越大，設(shè)施的選擇余地就越大。

我們感興趣的第二個(gè)領(lǐng)域顯然是設(shè)施：在館舍里建一個(gè)圖書館的興趣微乎其微，但一個(gè)選擇似乎是一個(gè)閱覽室——更有用。

我們希望目前的桌面游戲室被一個(gè)小健身房所取代。

如果可能的話，還有一個(gè)小游泳池——當(dāng)然不是奧運(yùn)會(huì)那么大！

有大量受訪者支持旅行社和保險(xiǎn)中心。

我們還要求設(shè)立學(xué)生咨詢中心的辦公室，將其從食堂移走。

然而，對(duì)于是否建造一座戲劇劇院，存在著很大的分歧。

略高于40%的受訪者表示贊成，但有較大的少數(shù)人強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)，聲稱這是精英主義和浪費(fèi)資金。

基本上，這件事還沒(méi)有定論。

最后，鑒于當(dāng)前聯(lián)盟在過(guò)去幾個(gè)月里發(fā)生了許多不幸事件，人們一再?gòu)?qiáng)調(diào)安全問(wèn)題。

建議至少有視頻監(jiān)控和安全人員，他們會(huì)根據(jù)要求檢查學(xué)生會(huì)卡。

我們懷疑在接待處對(duì)所有進(jìn)來(lái)的人進(jìn)行檢查是否可行。

這是學(xué)生群體觀點(diǎn)的總結(jié)。

正如我所說(shuō)，我們的報(bào)告中提供了更詳細(xì)的信息，但如果您有任何問(wèn)題，我很樂(lè)意回答。

五、New Union Building 聽力答案解析

Question 31  questionnaire. 錄音中提到 These suggestions then provided the basis for the design of a questionnaire，當(dāng)聽到 the design of 時(shí)，考生應(yīng)意識(shí)到這正是題目中所給出的定位信號(hào)詞 ，故questionnaire 就是答案，此單詞的拼寫為本題的難點(diǎn)所在。

Question 32  approximately 2,000/about 2,000. 通過(guò)聽前預(yù)測(cè)可得知本題的答案為數(shù)字，所以緊接著錄音提到 which was completed by approximately two thousand of the college students over a period of three weeks，考生應(yīng)意識(shí)到答案為2,000，但本題的真正難度在于文中所給出的數(shù)字并不是絕對(duì)數(shù)字，而是一個(gè)大約的數(shù)字，所以文中的approximately不可省去，建議考生碰到類似情況時(shí)，使用about替換approximately，這樣更便于考試時(shí)的拼寫。

Question 33  Education. 錄音中提到 One: in the city centre，near the Faculty of Education; two: on the out skirts of the city... 當(dāng)此題中的定位信號(hào)詞 faculty 在錄音中出現(xiàn)時(shí)，接著聽到的 education 即是答案。

Question 34  halls of residence/living quarters. 錄音中緊接著提到 and three: out of town，near the halls of residence，此題目的定位信號(hào)詞 near 在錄音中出現(xiàn)后，考生接著會(huì)聽到 the halls of residence （宿舍 樓），此短語(yǔ)即為答案，但應(yīng)注意拼寫，考生經(jīng)常會(huì)誤寫為  house of residence。

Question 35  traffic，parking. 錄音中提到 Site One was unpopular because of traffic and parking  problems. 這道題的答案雖然在定位信號(hào)詞  problem 之前出現(xiàn)，但讀音清晰、拼寫容易，所以難度不高。

Question 36 （most）lecture rooms/lecture halls/lecture theatres/lecture theaters. 錄音中提到 Site Two had a number of supporters，mainly because it was close to most lecture rooms。此題目的定位信號(hào)詞 close to 在錄音中出現(xiàn)后，考生接著會(huì)聽到此處要填寫的內(nèi)容，即  lecture rooms。

Question 37 （choice of / room for) facilities, 錄音中接著提到It was also felt that the larger site would allow more room for a choice of facilities, 此題的定位信號(hào)詞 larger site 在錄音中出現(xiàn)后，考生接著會(huì)聽到choice of facilities，即本題答案。

Question 38 : 錄音中提到 We would like the current table games room to be replaced with a small gym（我們希望目前的桌球游戲室被一個(gè)小型健身房所取代），此句話的理解關(guān)鍵在于兩個(gè)事物之間的取代和被取代的關(guān)系，如果考生在聽到后不能完全理解，根據(jù)答案往往偏后這一規(guī)律也可以判斷答案為 a small gym，等同于 D 選項(xiàng)中的 a mini fitness centre.

Question 39: 隨后錄音又提到There was a large number of respondents in favour of a travel agent’s and insurance centre，對(duì)應(yīng)試卷信息可選出答案 F。

Question 40: 錄音提到 Just over forty per cent of the respondents were in favour，but a largish minority were strongly against it ，claiming that it is elitist and a waste of funds（只有剛剛過(guò) 40%的受訪者贊同， 還是有很典型的一小部分人強(qiáng)烈反對(duì)，認(rèn)為這是一種偏精英行為的做法，是一種資金的浪費(fèi)）。A 項(xiàng)具有很強(qiáng)的干擾性，但其中提到的 no students would use it 過(guò)于絕對(duì)，與錄音內(nèi)容不符，故可以排除。

Question 41-42 選A，C. 錄音中提到 The recommendations would be at least video surveillance （視頻監(jiān)視器） and security personnel who would check student Union cards on request（ 對(duì)于安全的建議是學(xué)校至少要 安裝視頻監(jiān)視器也應(yīng)該有保衛(wèi)人員在需要的情況下負(fù)責(zé)檢查學(xué)生證）。此題難度較大，主要考查考生理解同義轉(zhuǎn)換的能力，選擇題往往會(huì)存在大量的詞匯轉(zhuǎn)換方面的考查點(diǎn)，考生在復(fù)習(xí)備考的過(guò) 程中要多多訓(xùn)練。
