Woman: Hello! Welcome to the travel depot! How can I help you?

Man: Well, I'm looking for a reasonably priced holiday. I went to South Africa for a month last year and I'd like to see North America this time maybe Canada.

The customer says he went to South Africa last year so the correct answer is C. Now we shall begin, you should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.

Woman: Hello! Welcome to the travel Depot! How can I help you?

Man: Well I'm looking for a reasonably priced holiday. I went to South Africa for a month last year and I'd like to see North America, this time maybe Canada but I'm also interested in Europe if the prices to Canada are too expensive. I'm on quite a tight budget, you see.

Woman: Well, you could go to Europe but I'll get some prices for Canada first. I've been to Vancouver, it's lovely at this time of year. And we have some special offers on at the moment.

Man: Ok, well I have some relatives over in Vancouver so that would be good. I can always travel around Europe next year. Besides, it may be a bit too hot for me at this time.

Woman: Right! Let's have a look at some prices then. When would you like to go?

Man: Sometime at the end of next month if possible but I'm quite flexible any time between the 24th and the 31st. I'd like to go for 3 weeks.

Woman: Well, there's lots of availability for those dates. Now if you're concerned about the cost, it's cheaper if you don't mind not flying direct.

Man: Sorry, what do you mean?

Woman: Well, if you don't mind changing planes then it's cheaper.

Man: Oh, well I don't mind changing things.

Woman: In that case, the cheapest flight I have leaves on the 25th and changes in New York. It's only a short stop. You'll be in the airport for two and a half hours. How does that sound?

Man: Sounds good! But what's the price?

Woman: That's four hundred and twelve pounds for a return flight but that doesn't include airport tax. Would you like to arrange any accommodation?

Man: No, I have a cousin I can stay with. All I need is the flight so think I'll take that one.

Woman: Right, I'll just check availability for your return. Three weeks did you say?

Man: Yes, that's right!

Woman: Okay, well there are seats available on the 14th or the 15th. Which one would you prefer?

Man: The 14th sounds good. Yes, from the 25th to the 14th sounds fine.

Woman: Our reserve that for you then. Can you tell me your name, please?

Man: Jim Jackson.

Woman: Is that J A C K S O N?

Man: That's right!

Woman: And can I take an address and contact number?

Man: Yes, it's 10 Allen Road, Oldham. Do you want a home number or my mobile?

Woman: Either's fine.

Man: Well, my home number is 051 433 398.

Woman: Okay, so you booked on flight number VN217 to Vancouver, leaving London Heathrow at 11:35 in the morning on the 25th, and returning on the 14th. So that's 20 nights. Now one more thing.

You now have some time to read questions 7 to 10. You now listen carefully and answer questions 7 to 10.

Woman: Now one more thing, do you have any travel insurance? We recommend all our clients take out some kind of cover even though most people don't end up needing it. Most people have it just for peace of mind.

Man: Well, what type of cover do you have?

Woman: There are two choices, the gold star and the silver star. Our most comprehensive cover is the gold star which will cost twenty-one pounds for the period you are away. It's a good policy because it covers almost all eventualities even extreme sports such as snowboarding and skydiving.

Man: Mm-hmm. What about the silver star?

Woman: That's 18 pounds but it doesn't cover you for any dangerous sports

Man: Well, for three pounds I think I'll take the first one, the gold cover please.

Woman: Right, and is there anything else I can help you with?

Man: Well, do you have any information about what to do in Vancouver?

Woman: Yes, I'm sure there's something on the computer that can help. Ah yes, there's a Shakespeare play at the theater but at $54. It's quite expensive. That starts at 8:00 p.m. The City Museum is really popular too, if you like that kind of thing. They have a special exhibition of Japanese armor next month. The entrance is free and the museum is open from 9 to 4:30 Monday to Saturday. Would you be interested in either of those?

Man: Oh well, maybe.

Woman: Well, I'm sure you can arrange that when you get there anyway. So, it's the flight and the gold star insurance, that's 433 pounds in total.

Man: Can I pay by Visa?

Woman: Yes, of course! If you start….

That is the end of Part 1. You now have half a minute to check your answers. Now turn to Part 2.

Woman: Thank you very much for inviting me here today. I understand that you all own your own home and some of you may be interested in buy an additional property here in the city so I hope you will find the information I am going to share with you useful and informative. I'm going to talk about the situation with property here in the city. The city center of any area is obviously going to have the highest prices and as more and more people are competing for houses in this area, both renting and buying are becoming increasingly difficult. It is most people's dream to one day own their own house. House ownership gives us a feeling of having achieved something and we can see clearly what we have worked so hard for all our lives. It can give us a sense of security for our old age and a knowledge that we will hopefully have something to pass on to our children. However, buying a house, particularly for first-time buyers is becoming more and more difficult. Not only due to increasing prices but also because of the need for a substantial deposit. For younger people, buying their first home is very difficult and often impossible. Young couples who cannot get the deposit together, need to rent for a long time and sometimes forever. While traditionally, homes near the center of the city have been the most desirable people are now looking further a field. This has happened for a number of reasons, the main one being that our style of work is changing along with that of other countries such as the USA. In certain professions, for example sales and computing, it is no longer necessary for people to be based in an office full-time. More and more people are beginning to work from home which means they can avoid the hustle and bustle of rush-hour traffic jams and to work and have more freedom to choose to live in a more rural and peaceful location. My company deals with finding property for both purchasers and renters in the city area. One of my main roles within the company is to find investment properties for people who wish to ahead for their future.

Woman: An investment property is usually at the cheaper end of the market. People buy investment properties not to live in but in addition to their own home in order to rent it out to other people. The advantage of putting your savings into property for the future is that you can be pretty certain that as a long-term investment. Your money will safely increase in value in line with inflation. Many people are turning to property investment instead of pension schemes as we hear the horror stories of countries such as the UK where people have invested all their lives into their pension schemes to find that now their money is relatively worthless. Houses automatically earn what is known as capital gains. That is for every year you owned the property it becomes more valuable and often gives a better rate of interest on your money than most banks do. However, that is not to say there are no risks. There are people who buy property when the market is high and prices are inflated beyond their true value, only to find that when the housing market slows down, they are in a state of negative equity. Negative equity is a situation that arises when you owe more for the house than the house itself is worth. In short, the best devices to be aware of the ups and downs of the housing market. property investment if handled correctly can be enormously satisfying. I hope that this has given you an insight into the basics of the property market. Thank you for listening! Please raise your hand if you have any questions and I will try to be of assistance.

Woman: Thank you very much for tuning in today to listen to our weekly hour on conservation issues. Last week, we spoke about the impact of environmental changes on primates and this week to continue the theme. We have invited Ana specialists by the name of Professor Andrew Ripley all the way from USA to tell us more about the problems faced by the cat family. Professor Ripley thank you very much for joining us today.

Man: It's my pleasure, thank you very much for inviting me.

Woman: So, I understand that you spent a great proportion of your time traveling the globe and monitoring changes in population levels of the cat family.

Man: Yes, that's correct. Of course, we're not talking about the domestic cat here but there man just a cousin such as the lion tiger and Jaguar to name but a few.

Woman: Which member of the cat family do you yourself find to be the most fascinating?

Man: Well, I've spent a lot of time recently studying Jaguars but the lion is still my personal favorite. It is the world's most social cat and unusual in the way in which it chooses to group together with others of its species. Pride of lions basking in the sunshine probably one of people's most vivid perceptions of the African bush.

Woman: Yes, certainly. I totally agree with you.

You now have some time to read questions 25 to 30. Now listen carefully and answer questions 25 to 30.

Woman: Can you tell me the current lion population in Africa these days.

Man: Well, it's very difficult to measure it accurately. The figures range from 100,000 to as few as 30,000 but it's generally estimated that there are 50,000. In order to maintain the population and protect the species from poachers, many move to protected areas.

Woman: Which member of the cat family do you feel is most at risk?

Man: For different reasons, a number of species of the cat family are endangered sometimes due to natural predators or environmental changes but mainly because of the threat of hunters. For example, I'm sure you're aware the bones and body parts of tigers have been and still are traditionally used in medicines in the Far East. Because of this and the demand for medicine made from tiger parts, their numbers have been falling for some time. And to date there are fewer than 6,000 tigers living in their natural habitat of the forests and plains of Asia.

Woman: What is being done to curb the population decrease?

Man: Well, specialists such as myself work closely with conservationists groups such as the World Wildlife Federation or WWF to protect tigers from illegal hunting. WWF considers the drop in tiger numbers to be catastrophic and they're working hard to conserve the populations in China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Russia.

Woman: I understand that the poaching is not the only problem faced by the leopard. Let me get this right! Is it the Snow Leopard which lives in the mountains in Asia?

Man: Yes, it is. The poaching has been a problem but not the most important. Its natural prey the animals at hunts is declining too. Its natural habitat in high-altitude area specifically the pastures as threatened by the growth of agriculture. It is the main problem for the Snow Leopard. It's going to be extremely difficult for numbers to recover, but again the WWF has been working hard to continue to fund projects to aid the snow leopard in Nepal and Pakistan and hopefully Bhutan very soon.

Woman: Well, this is fascinating information you are giving us, Professor. We are just going into a short commercial break when we come back, I have a few questions for you about the Puma and the Jaguar. Remember lessness there will be an opportunity to phone in and voice any opinions or questions you may have for the Professor in ten minutes.

Woman: Good afternoon, I'm pleased to see so many of you here today as I told you all on Monday the lecture on overpopulation has been postponed until next week as we have a guest speaker today. I'd like to introduce you all to Donald Mackenzie who has recently returned from a 12-month research project in America. He is here to share with us some of the results of his studies into the problem of illiteracy

Man: Hello, now as sociology students I have no doubt that you are aware that it is commonly believed that one indicator of a developed country, the level of education of its citizens. Now most of these nations have free compulsory education for all and strict teacher certification requirements, so it would logically follow that people from countries such as America would be highly educated. Yet, this isn't always so. In America alone, 42 million *s cannot read and 50 million can recognize so few printed words. They each have the reading ability of a ten-year-old frightening statistics indeed, but not as frightening as the trend suggested by current estimates, the number of illiterate *s is increasing by approximately two and a quarter million people each year and although global statistics have not been compiled as it suggests an extremely disturbing figure. Inevitably, this is having an impact on employment. In America the annual cost and welfare programs and unemployment compensation due to a literacy stands at six billion US dollars and an additional 237 billion a year in unrealized earnings is forfeited by people who let basic reading skills. There is also the cost of post school literacy programs which have been put in place in order to counter this increasing figure. A conservative estimate places the cost of these programs at 10 billion dollars each year and growing steadily.

Moving on, I'd like to talk about some of the causes of this increasing illiteracy. Children were taught to read by first learning the alphabet then the sounds of each letter, how they blended into syllables and how those syllables made up words. They were taught that English spelling is logical and systematic, and that to become a fluent reader it was necessary to master the alphabetic code in which English words are written. To the point where the code is used automatically with little conscious thought given to it. And to make myself to you, I mean readers could sound out the letters, spelling them phonetically. Once a child learned this ability, attention could be turned to more advanced content. It seldom if I ever occurred to teachers to give children word lists to read or to make beginner level readers memorize whole words before learning the components of those words or to memorize whole stories as today's proponents of the whole language approach recommend.

Several recent studies have found that 90% of remedial reading students and developed countries are not able to decode fluently, accurately and at an automatic level of response. The currently used whole language method was originally conceived then used in the early 1800s to teach the deaf how to read, a method which is long since being discarded by the teachers of the deaf themselves as inadequate and out murdered. English is an alphabetic language that when written uses letters to represent speech sounds when students were taught to read, they consciously identified the speech sounds and learned to recognize the letters used to represent them. They were then trained to apply this information to decode the names of unwritten words, understand their meaning and comprehend the information presented as a complete thought. The English language contains approximately half a million words. On these words, about 300 compose about three-quarters of the words that we use regularly. As I said in schools where the whole language method is taught, children are constantly memorizing sight words during the first three or four grades of school but I never taught how to unlock the meaning of the other 499 thousand seven hundred or more words. Whole language learning causes frustration, poor spelling and hostility towards reading. Very bright children who can't memorize long lists of words and retain their meaning are placed in special education. When all they need is to be taught that 26 letters of the alphabet, the 44 sounds they make, and the seventy common ways to spell those sounds.

Some researchers believe dyslexia and the symptoms of attention deficit disorder actually caused by this reversal of the normal learning sequence. So, why do faulty reading methods continue to be used? Well, in short, it's big business. The sale of instructional reading programs is big business today. Each year publishing companies compete for the adoption of reading programs and workbooks which have to be replaced annually concentrating on phonics would seriously reduce the cost of education.

雅思听力原文都是来源于什么地方

一、雅思听力背景

雅思听力包括四部分，日常话题(一)、生活场景(二)、学术话题(三、四部分)。

通常三、四部分都是学术话题，但是第四部分比第三部分要难很多。

二、听力材料来源

1.看英美剧

可以在平时看英美剧来积累语感，通常对话都难，也都是日常对话，有助于听力练习。

2.报刊杂志

订阅英文版的报刊杂志，尤其是学术性的。可以扩展我们的知识，也能积累学术性的词汇，对第三部分和第四部分很有帮助。

阅读报刊杂志也能练习我们的阅读能力。

3. 百科 知识

雅思听力虽然说就只有这几个话题为主，但是里面涉及到不少的百科知识。百科知识的书籍或者报刊杂志都可以，在平时考生可以积累一些，中英文对照版的最好。

雅思听力需注意精听和泛听结合

雅思所需的词汇不是很难，而且也很实际，具有一定的场景性。譬如，一个 留学 生到国外留学，他会有很多非常实际的问题，到了学校，他肯定会考虑住宿的问题，关于住宿场景的词汇就有不少，住宿、房东、租金、押金等等。一般来说，掌握至少相当于大学英语四级的词汇量是保证雅思考好的必要条件。不仅要会辨认这些词汇，还要能够拼写。雅思不仅需要考生在听的时候能够迅速反应出单词的意思，而且很多时候需要考生将其拼写出来，所以要求学生对相关单词进行记忆。雅思听力部分所要求的语法并不太难，初高中语法足以应付。如果没有足够的词汇和基本的语法知识，很多答案即使能听出来，但也可能由于知识的不牢固而答不出来。

听力归根到底实际上是辨音的过程。相当部分学生有时候对简单词汇不能够反映出来，归根到底，是其本人的发音和考试的录音有出入，所以导致了不必要的失分，这是很可惜的。所以，如果考生本人的发音和标准发音有差距，那么一定要下苦功夫纠正自己的发音。在考试中，考生主要听到的口音不仅仅有英式英语，英式英语是国际标准的英语，而美音会把短元音与长元音不分，譬如，美国人可能分不清在说ant与aunt，因为他们在发这两个单词读音是一样的。而澳大利亚人则会把 【ei】 发成【ai】，所以当你听到澳大利亚在说 “where are you going today?”的时候会感到困惑，会误认为他在说“where are you going to die?” 在雅思听力中也会有其他的口音，譬如日本口音，印度口音或者韩国口音，这样做的目的主要是为还原场景的真实性。因此，建议考生在平时做训练的时候要注意涉猎多范围的音域。

考生需要反复练习如何在短时间把信号词和特殊的信号词正确的定位，如何掌握出题的节奏。在雅思听力中，百分之九十以上需要同义转换，而且雅思听力遵循题号原则，很少出现跳题现象，因此信号词的定位尤其重要，信号词的正确定位可以帮助我们有效定位答案，从而提高做题效率。信号词是指那些变化很少，在 文章 不易被同义转换的，譬如人名(James)，地名 (Birmingham)，时间名(6 th December 1975)等。特殊信号词是指在听力材料中起到连接转折连接的连词，譬如 “Although the room is big， it is quiet airless.” “although”是个特殊信号词，它要考的是后面的东西，ALTHOUGH后面的不是考点。考生在平时做听力的同时要有意识的培养对信号词和特殊信号词的敏感，这样就能够抓住题目的节奏，有好的语感从而正确的捕捉答案。

注意精听和泛听的结合。建议考生每天需坚持精听针对性比较强的材料，听力材料不仅局限于雅思真题，而且要扩大材料的区域，譬如，BBC，VOA， CNN等等。具体做法是一句一句听，争取每句话都听明白。遇到实在不懂的地方，做出记号，等全部听完再到原文中去对照，搞清楚问题出在何处。除了每天坚持精听针对性比较强的材料外，还要做大量的泛听练习。泛听主要是为了熟悉语音，语调和语气等。这个时候可能听不懂内容，但是它有助于提高英语听觉的敏感性。这个时候不能在意听清楚内容，只是听声音，这样才不会有挫败感。精听和泛听的结合保证了质的飞跃，也保证了量的积累。

雅思听力考前注意重点介绍

听力考试是不仅是雅思考试中一个重要的夺分项目，而求在各类型的英语考试中占据着举足轻重的地位，雅思英语考试中的英语部分如果学生做的好的话，那么雅思考试就会非常的容易，在雅思考试中英语要考的好，需要注意的方面很多，王万丈高楼平地起，听力就是基础。

雅思听力考试的题源较其他类型的英语考试来说，有着自身的特点，它主要是将听力内容放置在了留学生在留学期间的日常生活、参与课堂讨论、与导师的学术交流等方面，这样就使考生在准备内容上更有突出点和侧重点，能够做到有的放矢。

一般地来讲，雅思听力考试一般会包括留学生活的必经场景，如交通、报到、住宿、校园讲座、校园生活等;留学生在校园学习的场景，如图书馆设施的使用、上课等设施;留学生在课下与学生教授的互动，课上听课场景，如教授课题、学术活动安排组织等。这种相对特定内容的听力考试，也就使我们能够在此基础上对听力材料与内容做出合理的预测，针对其中生活及学术真实场景中可能会用到的词汇进行考前的准备，以便能够在考场上能够争取更多的时间，从自身努力上来降低考试的难度。

此外，雅思听力考试着重贴近现实及真实场景，因此会有非常浓厚的日常会话习惯。而考生在日常的 英语学习 中，接触更多的都是清晰标准化的发音，因此对于考试中会采用的连读、略音、浊化等情况，就需要更多的注意。此外，考生还应该了解并适当学习并识别这些日常生活中常用的发音 方法 及习惯，从而能够对听力材料达到更高的识别度和更快的识别速度。

此外，考生还应该要保证听力词汇量。雅思听力考试的词汇量要求不是很高，但要求词汇反应力要快，并且广泛。其中，专业场景词汇问题就是必考的内容，属于考生必须掌握的内容。

由此可见，我要提醒广大的考试在考雅思时，要端正态度，把握复习的节奏，研究出题者的心理，跟踪前沿， 总结 方法，打好雅思这一仗。

雅思听力中的*号码如何有效备考

(1)基本训练。*号码是由0~9这十个数字组成的，因此考生一定要对这十个数字的念法非常熟悉。许多听力教材提供了数字的训练音带，大家找一本合适自己的进行练习即可。当训练到一定程度后，建议进行“自言自语”式的训练，即自己快速地、无意识地说一些数字，边说边记，以此来训练对数字的敏感能力，这是最关键的一步。

(2)“0”在英语中有许多表示方法，如zero，nought, null, nil, nothing等，应该注意的是：英国英语与美国英语在念法上有所不同，在TOEFL考试中，“0”常念作“zero”，但在IELTS考试中“0”常念作“nought”(V35的section 4);而在*号码中“0”读作字母”Oh”，就像在单词“go”中的发音。

(3)读*号码总的规则是：国家代号、地区代号和具体号码分开来读，比如中国北京的一个*读作86，10，87654321，对于一个特定地区的*，一般来说只有7位或8位。7位的号码，读的时候前三位一组连在一起，后四位一组连在一起，中间有一个停顿，比如6254598读作six two five，four five nine eight;8位的号码，可以四个一组来读，考生可参看本节后面的一些典型例句。

(4)两个相同数字或三个相同的数字可以用double或triple来代替，比如2246555可以读作double two four，six triple five。

(5)末尾出现三个零，可以按“千”来发音，如9796000读作nine seven nine six thousand

(6)所幸的是，IELTS的真题根本没有上面描述的这么复杂，例如V33的section 1中要求填写Landlady’s telephone number 889745，仅6位数字，只要考生掌握了“double eight”就没有问题了，而在新题V39的section 1中要求要求填写的是分机的号码3176，仅仅4位数。

(7)在IELTS考试中，多于5位数的*号码一般来说会重复说一遍，而且分组之间的短暂停顿也提供了一个思考的时间。考生只要经过一定的训练，再注意一下本节所述的内容，*号码的问题就解决了。

对于那些基础差或没有基础知识的人，剑桥系列提供了真实考试的完整版，允许你从不熟悉到熟悉，并更好地掌握解决问题的技巧。以下是关于考雅思有什么好的听力材料的内容，欢迎阅读。
1.剑桥雅思系列
对于那些基础差或没有基础知识的人，剑桥系列提供了真实考试的完整版，允许你从不熟悉到熟悉，并更好地掌握解决问题的技巧。
剑桥系列现在已经出到14。剑1是主考试题的样题;以前的剑4题型老了，难度降低了，练习的意义不大。剑6-14是最常用的真题资料，具有很高的参考价值。
对于一些基础良好的考生来说，掌握剑桥雅思的练习方法是非常重要的。事实上，通过适当的练习，没有必要在备考中使用额外的模拟题。
剑桥系列的难度从剑6逐渐增加，其中剑9和剑10的听力是相对困难的，最接近真题，考生可以根据自己的实力练习，但是如果想要得到更高的分数，就必须补充尽可能多的信息。
2.王陆807雅思词汇精讲听力篇
《王陆807雅思词汇精讲听力篇》是雅思市场上最具影响力的书籍之一。听力部分更强调高频词，这些词都是从雅思考试中挑选出来的。这本书列出了一些在雅思听力中最常用的单词。
如果部分考生在雅思听力中没有足够的时间对同义词和高频词的信息进行总结，建议考生可以学习和掌握一些已出版的图书内容，总之，词汇量越多越好。
3.雅思官方听力题库
这本书曾被一些考生描述为最逼真的模拟试题，是雅思听力6种题型和20多个不同场景的音频材料，但题目数量非常有限。
对于复习时间有限的考生来说，按照真题模式准备考试是非常重要的。
