1、雅思（听力）模拟试卷 61及答案与解析 一、 Listening Module (30 minutes we usually go round with an envelope during coffee break. dont we? tony: Yeah, coffee breaks always the best time, cos people have got their money handy. lisa: Yeah, exactly. Do we suggest an amount? Or does it seem a bit unfair? tony: No, I think

2、people welcome it.

6、 the past is to ask guests to bring some snacks. tony: Right. lisa: We dont ask them to bring more drinks because we figure thats . that should come from the Social Fund. tony: OK. Anything else for the guests to bring? lisa: Well, some music, because therell be a tape deck there in the room, and we

7、 can have some dancing later on. tony: Anything else? lisa: Well, its just a thought, but a couple of years ago we had a really good party where we set up, you know, some simple games. tony: Yeah, great.

Whats this I hear about a big assignment weve got to do? sue: Well, bas

22、ically, weve got to find two science experiments to do with a group of eight-year-old children at the local primary school, and weve got to complete it by the end of the week. mike: Oh, that sounds like hard work. Where are we supposed to get the ideas for these experiments from? sue: Well, I manage

23、d to get hold of two books from the library. mike: Oh, well done! sue: How about if we take a look at the experiments in this book first and see if anything looks suitable? I can make notes as we go, about equipment and the purpose of the experiments. mike: OK, lets see, um, the first experiment is

24、called Make your own hovercraft, which sounds very ambitious! Mind you, you only need twenty balloons and a table you dont need any special engines or anything like that! sue: What do you do with it all? mike: Er, you blow up the balloons and you balance the table on them, upside down of course, and

25、 the kids get to ride around on it. You know, the other kids sort of push them around the room. The main purpose is to show how hovercrafts work, and how things hover around on just a cushion of air. sue: OK, that doesnt sound too bad. mike: OK, ready for number two? sue: Uh-huh. mike: Now this one

26、is called Unusual Measures of Lengths, and you basically use lots of paperclips. The kids go around the class measuring things - you know, how long the desk is, and that sort of thing, um, and then they all compare their answers. Er, and, basically, because not all paperclips are the same lengths, t

27、hey should come up with some strange answers. Its supposed to demonstrate the importance of having fixed units of measurement. sue: Hmm, yes, thats not bad. mike: OK, now for number three you need rock salt or copper sulphate. sue: Oh, Im not sure about that! mike: Well, just put down the rock salt

28、then, um, apart from that you only need a jar of water. Um, and basically you dissolve lots of salt into the water and watch the crystals form, so it basically teaches the kids about growing crystals. sue: I suppose it would be nice to grow something. Hmm, lets move on and have a look at number four

29、. mike: OK, this one is called Spinning colour wheel. It looks like you get some cardboard and draw a circle on it, divide it into six equal segments and colour each one in using different colours, then you thread a piece of string through the middle. sue: So wed need some string as well. mike: Yes,

30、 sorry . um . and you spin the wheel around and if you can get it spinning fast enough, hopefully the colours all merge and show up as white. sue: Oh, I didnt know that. Whats the principle behind it? mike: Well its pretty elementary physics, really. It teaches them about how white light or ordinary

31、 light is made up. sue: Hmm, well that doesnt sound too bad. Now theres only one more left in this book isnt there? What does that one say? mike: Um, well its another one where theyd get to make something. sue: Sounds very interesting. mike: You need quite a lot of equipment actually - a hand drill,

32、 an old record, a pin or needle, some paper and a bolt. sue: Hmm, go on, what do they have to do? mike: Well, they basically make a record player. The main idea is to teach them about recording sound, but hopefully theyd also see that you need motion and an amplifier to make the sound heard. sue: OK

33、, well it does sound interesting. Shall we go through all of those again and decide if any of them are going to be suitable? mike: Right, number one. I thought this one sounded nice: thered be lots of activity and it doesnt need too much in the way of equipment. sue: Yes, thats true, but dont you th

34、ink its a bit risky to get a group of eight-year-olds pushing each other around a classroom like that? Someone could get hurt. No, I dont like the sound of that one at all! mike: Maybe youre right. sue: What about number two, with the paperclips? It sounds tame enough. mike: Yes, a bit too tame if y

35、ou ask me. I think it needs to be something a bit more active and interesting than that, dont you? sue: Yes, I suppose youre right. We wont get a very good mark if the children dont actually enjoy the experiments, and I suppose we could turn them off science for good! Well, what about the next one,

36、number three? mike: Now, I quite like the idea of this one. sue: Yes, so do I, but I seem to remember when we did it at high school we had to wait up to a fortnight before we saw any halfway decent results. mike: Oh, yes well, that wont be any good then. Well only see the kids for one or two hours a

37、t the most. sue: Yes, and we have to do the experiments and write up our results within a week, so that one wont do at all. mike: OK, well, what did you think of number four? sue: I like the idea of it, but do you think it will be a bit elementary for them? mike: Well they are only eight you know! s

38、ue: I know, but you know what I mean. Dont you think the activity itself is a bit babyish? mike: Hmm, maybe youre right. sue: They might have fun but, I mean, cutting out a circle and colouring it in? mike: OK, well, what about number five? sue: I thought this one sounded a bit too good to be true -

39、 great equipment! mike: Yeah. sue: But dont you think its a bit ambitious for this age group? I mean, I dont want to start off something and then have to abandon it if they just cant cope with it. I could see us ending up doing just about all of the work for them. mike: I guess youre right. Oh well,

40、 maybe we could store that idea away for later. sue: Yep, lets hope this second book has something better! 21 【正确答案】 20 balloons 22 【正确答案】 units of measurement / measurements / measurement units 23 【正确答案】 rock salt / salt 24 【正确答案】 crystals 25 【正确答案】 string / piece of string 26 【正确答案】 (ordinary)(whi

As you know, sharks have a reputation for being very dangerous creatures capable of injuring or killing humans, and Id like to talk about sharks in Australia. Sharks a

42、re rather large fish, often growing to over ten metres and the longest sharks caught in Australia have reached sixteen metres. Sharks vary in weight with size and breed, of course, but the heaviest shark caught in Australia was a White Pointer - that weighed seven hundred and ninety-five kilograms -

43、 quite a size! Sharks have a different structure to most fish: instead of a skeleton made of bone, they have a tough elastic skeleton of cartilage. Unlike bone, this firm, pliable material is rather like your nose, and allows the shark to bend easily as it swims. The sharks skin isnt covered with sc

44、ales, like other fish: instead the skins covered with barbs, giving it a rough texture like sandpaper. As you know, sharks are very quick swimmers. This is made possible by their fins, one set at the side and another set underneath the body, and the tail also helps the shark move forward quickly. Un

45、like other fish, sharks have to keep swimming if they want to stay at a particular depth, and they rarely swim at the surface. Mostly, they swim at the bottom of the ocean, scavenging and picking up food thats lying on the ocean floor. While most other animals, including fish, hunt their prey by mea

46、ns of their eyesight, sharks hunt essentially by smell. They have a very acute sense of smell - and can sense the presence of food long before they can see it. In Australia, where people spend a lot of time at the beach, the government has realised that it must prevent sharks from swimming near its

47、beaches. As a result, theyve introduced a beach-netting program. Beach-netting, or meshing, involves setting large nets parallel to the shore: this means that the nets on New South Wales beaches are set on one day, and then lifted and taken out to sea on the next day. When shark-netting first began

48、in 1939, only the Sydney metropolitan beaches were meshed - these beaches were chosen because beaches near the city are usually the most crowded with swimmers. Ten years later, in 1949, systematic meshing was extended to include the beaches to the south of Sydney. As a result of the general success

49、of the program in Sydney, shark-meshing was introduced to the state of Queensland around 1970. The New Zealand authorities also looked at it, but considered meshing uneconomical - as did Tahiti in the Pacific. At around the same time, South Africa introduced meshing to some of its most popular swimming beaches. When meshing began, approximately fifteen hundred sharks were caught in the first year. However, this declined in the years that followed, and since that time, the average annual catch has been only about a
