Collections of a Museum劍橋雅思11聽力-原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Collections of a Museum聽力原文：

Good morning,and welcome to the museum-one with a remarkable range of exhibits,which I'm sure you'll enjoy.

My name's Greg,and I'll tell you about the various collections as we go round.

But before we go,let me just give you a taste of what we have here.

Well,for one thing,we have a fine collection of twentieth and twenty-first century paintings,many by very well-known artists.

I'm sure you'll recognise several of the paintings.

This is the gallery that attracts the largest number of visitors,so it's best to go in early in the day,before the crowds arrive.

Then there are the nineteenth-century paintings.

The museum was opened in the middle of that century,and several of the artists each donated one work-to get the museum started,as it were.

So they're of special interest to us-we feel closer to them than to other works.

The sculpture gallery has a number of fine exhibits,but I'm afraid it's currently closed for refurbishment.

You'll need to come back next year to see it properly,but a number of the sculptures have been moved to other Darts of the museum.

'Around the world'is a temporary exhibition-you've probably seen something about it on TV or in the newspapers.

It's created a great deal of interest,because it presents objects from every continent and many countries,and provides information about their social context-why they were made,who for,and so on.

Then there's the collection of coins.

This is what you might call a focused,specialist collection,because all the coins come from this country,and were produced between two thousand and a thousand years ago.

And many of them were discovered by ordinary people digging their gardens,and donated to the museum!

All our porcelain and glass was left to the museum by its founder,when he died in 1878.

And in the terms of his will,we're not allowed to add anything to that collection:he believed it was perfect in itself,and we don't see any reason to disagree!

OK,that was something about the collections,and now here's some more practical information,in case you need it.

Most of the museum facilities are downstairs,in the basement,so you go down the stairs here.

When you reach the bottom of the stairs,you'll find yourself in a sitting area,with comfortable chairs and sofas where you can have a rest before continuing your exploration of the museum.

We have a very good restaurant,which serves excellent food all day,in a relaxing atmosphere.

To reach it,when you get to the bottom of the stairs,go straight ahead to the far side of the sitting area,then turn right into the corridor.

You'll see the door of the restaurant facing you.

If you just want a snack,or if you'd like to eat somewhere with facilities for children,we also have a café.

When you reach the bottom of the stairs,you'll need to go straight ahead,turn right into the corridor,and the caféis immediately on the right.

And talking about children,there are baby-changing facilities downstairs:cross the sitting area,continue straight ahead along the corridor on the left,and you and your baby will find the facilities on the left-hand side.

The cloakroom,where you should leave coats,umbrellas and any large bags,is on the left hand side of the sitting area.

It's through the last door before you come to the corridor.

There are toilets on every floor,but in the basement they're the first rooms on the left when you get down there.

OK,now if you've got anything to leave in the cloakroom,please do that now,and then we'll start our tour.

二、Collections of a Museum聽力中文翻譯：

早上好，歡迎來到博物館，這里有各種各樣的展品，我相信你會喜歡的。

我的名字是格雷格，我會告訴你我們周圍的各種收藏品。

但在我們走之前，讓我先讓你嘗嘗我們這里有什么。

首先，我們有一批二十世紀和二十一世紀的精美畫作，其中許多都是非常著名的藝術(shù)家所作。

我相信你會認出幾幅畫的。

這是吸引游客最多的畫廊，所以最好在一天的早些時候，在人群到來之前就進去。

還有十九世紀的繪畫。

該博物館于那個世紀中葉開館，幾位藝術(shù)家每人捐贈了一件作品，使博物館得以開館。

因此，我們對它們特別感興趣——我們覺得與它們的關(guān)系比與其他作品的關(guān)系更密切。

這座雕塑畫廊有許多精美的展品，但恐怕目前已關(guān)閉進行整修。

明年你們需要回來好好看一看，但許多雕塑已經(jīng)被移到了博物館的其他展區(qū)。

“環(huán)游世界”是一個臨時展覽，你可能在電視或報紙上看到過一些關(guān)于它的東西。

它引起了人們極大的興趣，因為它展示了來自各大洲和許多國家的物體，并提供了有關(guān)它們的社會背景的信息——它們?yōu)槭裁幢恢圃斐鰜?，為誰制造，等等。

然后是收集硬幣。

這就是你可以稱之為集中的、專業(yè)的收藏，因為所有的硬幣都來自這個國家，并且是在2000年到1000年前生產(chǎn)的。

其中許多是普通人在挖掘花園時發(fā)現(xiàn)的，并捐贈給了博物館！

我們所有的瓷器和玻璃都是由博物館的創(chuàng)始人在1878年去世時留給博物館的。

按照他的意愿，我們不允許在這個收藏中添加任何東西：他認為它本身是完美的，我們沒有理由不同意！

好的，這是一些關(guān)于集合的信息，現(xiàn)在這里有一些更實用的信息，以備您需要。

博物館的大部分設(shè)施都在樓下，在地下室，所以你可以從這里下樓。

當你走到樓梯底部時，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己在一個休息區(qū)，那里有舒適的椅子和沙發(fā)，在繼續(xù)探索博物館之前，你可以在那里休息一下。

我們有一家非常好的餐廳，在輕松的氣氛中全天供應(yīng)美味的食物。

要到達它，當你走到樓梯的底部時，直走到休息區(qū)的另一邊，然后右轉(zhuǎn)進入走廊。

你會看到餐廳的門對著你。

如果你只想吃零食，或者你想在有兒童設(shè)施的地方吃飯，我們還有一家咖啡館。

當你到達樓梯底部時，你需要一直往前走，右轉(zhuǎn)進入走廊，咖啡館就在右邊。

說到孩子，樓下有嬰兒更衣設(shè)施：穿過休息區(qū)，沿著左邊的走廊一直往前走，你和你的孩子就會在左手邊找到這些設(shè)施。

衣帽間位于起居區(qū)的左手邊，你應(yīng)該把外套、雨傘和大包放在這里。

在你走到走廊之前，它穿過最后一扇門。

每一層都有廁所，但在地下室，當你下到那里時，它們是左邊的第一個房間。

好的，現(xiàn)在如果你有什么東西要留在衣帽間，請現(xiàn)在就做，然后我們開始我們的旅行。

五、Collections of a Museum聽力答案解析

11.E根據(jù)題干20th-and 21st-century paintings定位。錄音中提到this is the gallery that attracts the largest number of visitors。正如大多數(shù)配對題一樣，本題也是考查考生理解不同表達方式的能力：largest number of visitors與E選項中的the most popular exhibits為同義替換。故答案為E。

12.D根據(jù)題干19th-century paintings定位。本題中的轉(zhuǎn)換方式是將卷面的被動語態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)換為錄音中的主動語態(tài)，即錄音中的several of the artists each donated one work相當于D選項中的some items given by the artists。其中donate與give為同義替換；work與item為同義替換。故答案為D。

13.G根據(jù)題干Sculptures定位。錄音中的a number of the sculptures have been moved to other parts of the museum…相當于G選項中的has had some of its contents relocated。其中move與relocate為同義替換。故答案為G。

14.B根據(jù)題干’Around the world’exhibition定位。錄音中的You’ve probably seen some about it on TV or in the newspapers相當于B選項中的was recently publicized in the media。其中TV,newspaper與media為同義替換。故答案為B。卷面的publicise（宣傳）在錄音中并沒有直接的替換詞，而是被包含在這句話的意思中。

15.C根據(jù)題干Coins定位。錄音中的many of them were discovered by ordinary people digging their gardens and donated to the museum相當于C選項的some items given by members of the public。其中donate與give為同義替換；ordinary people與members of the public（民眾）為同義替換。故答案為C。

16.A根據(jù)題干Porcelain and glass定位。錄音中的all our porcelain and glass was left to the museum by its founder相當于A選項中的was given by one person。其中founder對應(yīng)one person。這里的founder（創(chuàng)始人）為單數(shù)，當然是“一個人”。而且后面的錄音又說到“根據(jù)他的遺囑，我們不能增加任何東西”，所以，瓷器和玻璃展品肯定是來自創(chuàng)始人“一個人”。故答案為A。

17.F雅思聽力考試的地圖題有靜態(tài)和動態(tài)兩種，該地圖題為動態(tài)地圖題，即錄音中有對于行走路線的描述。為了準確找到正確的房間，考生應(yīng)該及時準確地跟隨錄音中對于路線的描述。根據(jù)題干restaurant定位，本題的關(guān)鍵路線為：“get to the bottom of the stairs”;“go straight ahead to the far side of the sitting area”;“turn right into the corridor”;“see the door of the restaurant facing you”。幾個核心方位類短語：go straight ahead（直走），far side（遠端），facing you（面朝著你）。

18.H根據(jù)題干café定位，本題的關(guān)鍵路線為：“reach the bottom of the stairs”;“go straight ahead”;“turn right into the corridor”;“the caféis immediately on the right”。核心的方位類短語：immediately on the right（緊接著你的右邊）。特別提醒：immediately這個詞大多數(shù)考生只知道“立刻，馬上”這個意思，但是在地圖題中，這個詞表示位置而不是時間概念，相當于中文的“緊靠的，緊接著的”。

19.C根據(jù)題干baby-changing facilities定位，本題的關(guān)鍵路線為：“cross the sitting area”;“continue straight ahead along the corridor along the left”;“facilities on the left-hand side”。核心的方位類詞匯和短語：cross（穿過），left-hand side（左手邊）。

20.B根據(jù)題干cloakroom定位，本題的關(guān)鍵路線為：“on the left-hand side of the sitting area”;“through the last door before you come to the corridor”。關(guān)鍵的方位類短語：last door（最后一個門），before you come to the corridor（在你到達走廊之前）。
