1、雅思（听力）历年真题试卷汇编 19及答案与解析 一、 Listening Module (30 minutes Laboratory Techniques是在来年科学实验室开放后学习的； Environmetal Science则是 根据学生的兴趣选择学习与否。在排除了这些干扰项后，答案就一目了然了。 28 【正确答案】 E 29 【正确答案】 F 30 【正确答案】 textbook allowance 【试题解析】 textbook allowance本题通过预判词性，可以得知此处应填写名词性词汇，录音原文提到 $1， 500 cash后，说： The money is intended
2、more as a textbook allowance在此根据介词不换原则，我们可知 as后面的名词就是要填的答案。 30 【听力原文】 Weve been talking about choosing building materials in the last week. Now, a great many factors influence the choice of building materials. You cant make a house of cards, right? And “people who live in glass houses.“ and all that
3、 .Anyhow, today Id like to say a few words about flooring. Some artificial materials can be used, like plastic for instance, which offer mixed blessings when used as a flooring surface. On the one hand, plastic is cheaper than nearly any other alternative, short of bare ground. Plastic also does not
4、 warp like wood. On the other hand, the best that can be said about plastic is that it “looks like“ wood or stone. However, it cannot replace the real materials. As I have mentioned, Im fixing up a new house. The decorator my wife hired told me, “Plastic does a great job of looking exactly like plas
5、tic.“ Besides, it scratches easily, fades or discolors, and starts cracking within a year or two. So, if youre fitting out a sleazy hotel or plan to live in a trailer park, go with the plastic. Really, though, for all intents and purposes, this leaves us with wood or stone as choices for flooring. S
6、tone and wood are alike in at least one respect: both go through processing before they can be put to use. Since few of us cut our own lumber or quarry our own stone, this is not perhaps a pressing concern. Still, do-it-yourselfers would do well to remember to buy only properly seasoned wood. Unseas
7、oned wood warps and a warped floor quickly becomes firewood(and its owner quickly becomes poorer). Likewise, except for dull-hued materials like slate or sandstone, most stone floors are polished before installation. The choice goes well beyond just wood or stone - each type requires many further co
8、nsiderations. A few special remarks are called for when considering wood, for example. As always, aesthetics, personal taste, and layout all play roles as well as the type of house or room. Oh, and certainly dont forget the cost. When it comes to cost, a rule of thumb is that the softer and less exo
9、tic the wood, the lower the cost. In the U.S., for instance, pine is both ubiquitous and cheap. Mahogany is imported and exorbitantly expensive. If youre on any kind of budget when remodeling, its really helpful to remember to go for the softer woods. Aside from cost, there are still lots of differe
10、nt factors that are important in choosing the best flooring for the job. Continuing with the example of wood, one must consider the effects of each type of wood on the mood of the room. When selecting the best wood to use, particular attention needs to be paid to its grain patterns, texture, and col
11、or. In rooms where relaxation or deep thought is the aim - say bedrooms or the study - dark, strong grained woods are the rule. Here the grain ought to match the furniture for a feeling of homogeneity. In rooms where activity and motion are typical - the dining room or living room - lighter, finer-g
12、rained lumber is more suitable. In such a setting, the wood grain might be useful in offering a contrast to the furniture. This leads to a feel of subconscious excitement, in keeping with the rooms function. In either case, though, consult a decorator. It is a decorators job to know what materials t
13、o use to fit the function of the room. Though some things about putting together a room are subjective and based on ones individual taste, materials appropriate to a rooms function are much more straightforward. A decorator takes the needs of the customer and uses a mathematical formula, rather than
14、 subjective words. Since feelings vary from person to person, verbal descriptions of wood types tend to be ambiguous. You want the wood you select, not something approximate! And if you do decide to do it yourself, remember that all wood must be treated with preservatives to enhance its appearance a
15、nd preserve its natural beauty. In the case of stone, or “quarry tile“ as flat-cut flooring stone is properly called, a new set of considerations must be weighed up. Simple color aside, the degree of reflection must be kept in mind. This is called the “reflectance rate“, which is expressed in a numb
16、er between 0.0 and 1.0, depending on the amount of light it reflects. At one end of the scale is polished silver. At a rating of 1.0, this shiny surface reflects nearly all of the light directed at it. Numbers closer to zero describe materials that absorb more light. Moving down the scale a bit, we
17、see the plastic that has been painted white has a rate of 0.8, which makes sense. We know that the color white reflects all other color while black absorbs all color, and plastic itself is a relatively reflective material. Materials that are denser and darker have reflectance rates much closer to ze
18、ro. The quarry tile I mentioned a while ago has a rate of 0.1. As you may know, quarry tile is generally dark brown and made from clay so it is quite dense. Of course, there is considerable variation among types of quarry tile because of the hue or treatment of the clay during its creation. Does any
19、one have guesses as to what materials may have a rate of almost 0.0? We can guess most of these materials are black in color, but plastic, wood, and even stone reflect some light. One material with a rate of almost 0.0 is black velvet. The texture produces almost no shine at all. Carrera marble, des
20、pite its white hue, is actually lower in reflectivity than black onyx! In any case, the fact that tiles vary somewhat should not be forgotten. A highly reflective floor would not be suitable in a library; it would be indispensible in a ballroom(should your home be large enough to feature one). Again
21、, a rule of thumb is that “light means lively“. Since form and material follow function, one should only use the more reflective materials in rooms where the cultivation and expression of energy is important. Bear in mind too that most types of stone cost more than all but the rarest of wood. Of cou
22、rse, there is no reason why some rooms of a house should not feature wood floors or other stone tiles. You can even mix the two. A room with wood panels on the walls can have a beautiful stone floor. My bedroom has white birch walls and a light blue slate floor. The place looks like a Russian huntin
23、g lodge. Remember, though, go with what feels right for you. Good taste and the “laws“ of interior design are the home-owners servants, not his master. Its only beautiful when you decide it is. I mean, youre the one who lives there, not the decorator, right? OK, are there any questions? 31 【正确答案】 pl
24、astic 【试题解析】 plastic对于提纲类的句子填空，定位一定要贴近空格处，因此尤其要注意介词 like，当然录音有可能会换成 such as、 for example等词组。本题 比较直观，文中直接提到 like plastic for instance，所以答案应为 plastic。此外，后面也重复提到 plastic，所以对于那些反复提及的内容也需多加注意。 32 【正确答案】 processing 【试题解析】 processing贴近空格处的 undergo在原文中被替换成 go through一词，所以紧跟着的 processing需要进行填写了。有的同学可能听到了一句：
25、before they can be put to use，然而此题空格处应填写名词性词汇。显然 “before they can be put to use“一句中并没有合适的词汇可作为答案。 33 【正确答案】 seasoned 【试题解析】 seasoned通过预判词性可以得知本题应填写 V-ed形式。在听到“since few of us cut our own lumber”时，就应该注意搜索 V-ed形式的单词了，因为 lumber与 wood是同义词，而之后的句子中也只有 seasoned为被动形式。 34 【正确答案】 polished 【试题解析】 polished同上。题中
26、主语 stone可以听到，此处也应填写 V-ed形式，随后录音中出现的 polished一词即为答案。 35 【正确答案】 cost 【试题解析】 cost本题稍有难度，不过录音中 cost这个名词重复了数遍。我们不奢求同学们理解全部意思，却必须得知道反复提及之处也就是想着重强调的内容，而该内容极有可能就是答案了。 36 【正确答案】 grain patterns 【试题解析】 grain patterns本题比较容易听出录音中出现了几个并列名词，只是在拼写时需要注意。而 pattern这个单词在剑桥 8 Test 1 Section 4中也有出现，由此我们不难看出雅思听力的答案范围实际上比较
27、有限。一定要注重场景词汇的听写。 37 【正确答案】 words 【试题解析】 words通过预判词性，可知本题应填写名词性词汇，且为复数形式。我们在听录音时，需要着重听 subjective所修饰的复数名词即可。 38 【正确答案】 0.8 【试题解析】 0 8数字题不进行过多解释，但是要注意 0 8也可读成 point eight，此时的 0可以省略不读。 39 【正确答案】 0.1 【试题解析】 0 1同上。 40 【正确答案】 black velvet 【试题解析】 black velvet本题基本上很多同学选择放弃了，因为单词不会拼写。原句： One material with a rate of almost 0 0 is black velvet既然此处需要填写 material，那么只能是名词 black velvet(黑色天鹅绒 )为答案。
