Dolphins劍橋雅思10-聽力原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Dolphins聽力原文：

INTERVIEWER:Today we're pleased to have on the show Alice Bussell from the Dolphin Conservation Trust.

Tell us about the Trust,Alice.

ALICE:Well,obviously its purpose is to protect dolphins in seas all around the world.

It tries to raise people's awareness of the problems these marine creatures are suffering because of pollution and other threats.

It started ten years ago and it's one of the fastest growing animal charities in the country—although it's still fairly small compared with the big players in animal protection.

We are particularly proud of the work we do in education—last year we visited a huge number of schools in different parts of the country,going round to talk to children and young people aged from five to eighteen.

In fact,about thirty-five per cent of our members are children.

-The charity uses its money to support campaigns—for example,for changes in fishing policy and so forth.

It hopes soon to be able to employ its first full-time biologist—with dolphin expertise—to monitor populations.

Of course,many people give their services on a voluntary basis and-we now have volunteers working in observation,office work and other things.

I should also tell you about the award we won from the Charity Commission last year—for our work in education.

Although it's not meant an enormous amount of money for us,it has made our activities even more widely publicised and understood.

In the long term it may not bring in extra members but we're hoping it'll have this effect.

INTERVIEWER:Is it possible to see dolphins in UK waters?

ALICE:Yes.

In several locations.

And we have a big project in the east part of Scotland.

This has long been a haven for dolphins because it has very little shipping.

However,that may be about to change soon because oil companies want to increase exploration there.

We're campaigning against this because,although there'll be little pollution from oil,exploration creates a lot of underwater noise.

It means the dolphins can't rest and socialise.

This is how I became interested in dolphin conservation in the first place.

I had never seen one and I hadn't been particularly interested in them at school.

Then I came across this story about a family of dolphins who had to leave their home in the Moray Firth because of the oil companies and about a child who campaigned to save them.

I couldn't put the book down—I was hooked.

INTERVIEWER:I'm sure our listeners will want to find out what they can do to help.

You mentioned the'Adopt a Dolphin'scheme.

Can you tell us about that?

ALICE:Of course!

People can choose one of our dolphins to sponsor.

They receive a picture of it and news updates.

I'd like to tell you about four which are currently being adopted by our members:Moondancer,Echo,Kiwi and Samson.

Unfortunately,Echo is being rather elusive this year and hasn't yet been sighted by our observers but we remain optimistic that he'll be out there soon.

All the others have been out in force—Samson and Moondancer are often photographed together but it is Kiwi who’s our real‘character’as she seems to love coming up close for the cameras and we've captured her on film hundreds of times.

They all have their own personalities—Moondancer is very elegant and curves out and into the water very smoothly,whereas Samson has a lot of energy—he‘s always leaping out of the water with great vigour.

You'd probably expect him to be the youngest—he's not quite—that’s Kiwi—but Samson's the latest of our dolphins to be chosen for the scheme.

Kiwi makes a lot of noise so we can often pick her out straightaway.

Echo and Moondancer are noisy too,but Moondancer's easy to find because she has a particularly large fin on her back,which makes her easy to identify.

So,yes,they're all very different...

INTERVIEWER:Well,they sound a fascinating group...

二、Dolphins聽力中文翻譯：

采訪者：今天我們很高興看到海豚保護(hù)信托基金會的愛麗絲·布塞爾（AliceBussell）在節(jié)目中露面。

告訴我們關(guān)于信任的事，愛麗絲。

艾麗斯：很明顯，它的目的是保護(hù)世界各地海洋中的海豚。

它試圖提高人們對這些海洋生物因污染和其他威脅而遭受的問題的認(rèn)識。

它成立于十年前，是美國發(fā)展最快的動物慈善機(jī)構(gòu)之一，盡管與動物保護(hù)領(lǐng)域的大公司相比，它仍然相當(dāng)小。

我們對我們在教育方面所做的工作感到特別自豪。去年，我們訪問了全國各地的大量學(xué)校，與5歲至18歲的兒童和年輕人進(jìn)行了交談。

事實上，我們大約35%的成員是兒童。

-該慈善機(jī)構(gòu)將其資金用于支持運(yùn)動，例如改變漁業(yè)政策等。

它希望很快能夠聘請第一位具有海豚專業(yè)知識的全職生物學(xué)家來監(jiān)測種群。

當(dāng)然，許多人在自愿的基礎(chǔ)上提供服務(wù)，我們現(xiàn)在有志愿者從事觀察、辦公室工作和其他工作。

我還應(yīng)該告訴你，去年我們因在教育方面的工作而獲得了慈善委員會頒發(fā)的獎項。

雖然這對我們來說并不意味著巨額的資金，但它使我們的活動得到了更廣泛的宣傳和理解。

從長遠(yuǎn)來看，它可能不會帶來額外的成員，但我們希望它會產(chǎn)生這種效果。

采訪者：有可能在英國水域看到海豚嗎？

艾麗斯：是的。

在多個位置。

我們在蘇格蘭東部有一個大項目。

長期以來，這里一直是海豚的避風(fēng)港，因為這里幾乎沒有航運(yùn)。

然而，這種情況可能很快就會改變，因為石油公司希望增加那里的勘探。

我們反對這種做法是因為，盡管石油幾乎不會造成污染，但勘探會產(chǎn)生大量的水下噪音。

這意味著海豚不能休息和社交。

這就是我最初對海豚保護(hù)感興趣的原因。

我從來沒有見過，在學(xué)校我對它們也不是特別感興趣。

然后，我偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個故事，講述了一個海豚家庭因為石油公司而不得不離開他們在馬里灣的家，還有一個孩子為拯救海豚而奔走。

我無法放下這本書，我上癮了。

采訪者：我相信我們的聽眾會想知道他們能做些什么來提供幫助。

你提到了“收養(yǎng)海豚”計劃。

你能告訴我們這件事嗎？

艾麗斯：當(dāng)然！

人們可以選擇我們的一只海豚作為贊助商。

他們會收到一張照片和最新消息。

我想告訴你我們的成員目前正在采用的四種：Moondancer、Echo、Kiwi和Samson。

不幸的是，Echo今年相當(dāng)難以捉摸，我們的觀察員還沒有看到，但我們?nèi)匀粯酚^地認(rèn)為他很快就會出現(xiàn)。

薩姆森和月亮舞者經(jīng)常一起拍照，但我們真正的“角色”是獼猴桃，因為她似乎喜歡近距離拍攝，我們已經(jīng)在電影中拍攝了數(shù)百次了。

他們都有自己的個性——Moondancer非常優(yōu)雅，彎腰入水非常流暢，而Samson精力充沛，總是精力充沛地跳出水面。

你可能會認(rèn)為他是最年輕的，他不太年輕，這是獼猴桃，但薩姆森是我們最新的海豚被選中參加這個計劃。

獼猴桃發(fā)出很大的噪音，所以我們可以經(jīng)常直接把她挑出來。

Echo和Moondancer也很吵鬧，但Moondancer很容易找到，因為她背部有一個特別大的鰭，這使她很容易識別。

所以，是的，他們都很不同。

記者：嗯，他們聽起來是一個迷人的群體。

五、Dolphins聽力答案解析

11-12由it’s one of the fastest growing...in the country—although it’s still fairly small，可以排除B項。當(dāng)聽到proud of the work we do in education就要意識到進(jìn)入到關(guān)于兒童的敘述，當(dāng)Alice說about thirty-five per cent of our members are children時，我們可以排除A項。接下來出現(xiàn)了關(guān)鍵詞support campaigns，changes in fishing policy and so forth，原文中的fishing policy被題干換為fishing practices，support被換為helps。接下來的一句話就說到It hopes soon to be able to employ its first full-time biologist，可知還沒有雇傭，所以D項錯誤。由此可知E項應(yīng)該是正確的，但也要確定一下。接下來出現(xiàn)services on a voluntary basis and we now have volunteers working in observation,office work and other things，原文中的幾個例子被題目用in various ways替代，證實剛剛的猜測，所以答案是C和E。

13.B當(dāng)Alice說到tell you about the award...可知答案即將出現(xiàn)，Although it’s not meant an enormous amount of money可知A項說的帶來了extra money是錯誤的。讓步狀語后半部分是信息的傳遞重點：it has made our activities even more widely publicised and understood，understood與better known相對應(yīng)，所以B項正確。接下來的it may not bring in extra members說明C項是錯誤的。

14.A當(dāng)聽到oil companies want to increase exploration there知道14題的答案即將出來。后面又出來讓步狀語從句although...be little pollution from oil，這里排除了B。知道重點在后面，由creates a lot of underwater noise可判定答案是A。

15.C This is how I became interested in...說明本題的答案即將出現(xiàn)。她說了解到一個關(guān)于海豚家族因為油氣公司不得不離開自己生活的地方，一個孩子發(fā)起活動保護(hù)海豚的故事，由I couldn’t put the book down—I was hooked.可知是從讀一本書開始的。

16.B Alice說到Echo is being rather elusive and hasn’t yet been sighted by our observers，這里如果elusive一詞不認(rèn)識也沒有關(guān)系，后面說hasn’t yet been sighted，sighted被題目替換為not been seen，所以選B。

17.C聽力內(nèi)文出現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折詞but，是出題的重點部分。由Kiwi...love coming up close for the cameras...可以判定答案是C，后面的captured對應(yīng)題目中的photographed。

18.D注意聽與energetic相關(guān)的詞，Samson...always leaping out of the water with great vigour.，vigour與energetic相對應(yīng)，所以選D。

19.D 18題之后又出現(xiàn)一個but，考生要注意聽這部分，Samson’s...the latest of...可以判定答案是D。latest與newest相對應(yīng)。

20.A再次出現(xiàn)but，Moondancer’s easy to find because she has a particularly large fin on her back...，particularly與unusual相對應(yīng)，答案選A。
