Self-Access Centre劍橋雅思9聽力-原文翻譯及答案解析

一、Self-Access Centre 聽力原文：

PAM:Hi Jun.

As you know, I've asked you here today to discuss the future of our Self-Access Centre.

We have to decide what we want to do about this very important resource for our English language students.

So, can you tell me what the students think about this?

JUN:Well, from the students' point of view, we would like to keep it.

The majority of students say that they enjoy using it because it provides a variation on the classroom routine and  they see it as a pretty major component of their course, but we would like to see some improvements to the equipment, particularly the computers;

there aren't enough for one each at the moment and we always have to share.

PAM:Well yes, the teachers agree that it is a very valuable resource but one thing we have noticed is that a lot of the students are using it to check their personal emails.

We don't want to stop you students using it, but we think the computers should be used as a learning resource, not for emails.

Some of us also think that we could benefit a lot more by relocating the Self-Access Centre to the main University library building.

How do you think the students would feel about that, Jun?

JUN:Well, the library is big enough to incorporate the Self-Access Centre, but it wouldn't be like a class activity anymore.

Our main worry would be not being able to go to a teacher for advice.

I'm sure there would be plenty of things to do but we really need teachers to help us choose the best activities.

PAM:Well, there would still be a teacher present and he or she would guide the activities of the students, we wouldn't just leave them to get on with it.

JUN:Yes, but I think the students would be much happier keeping the existing set-up;

they realty like going to the Self-Access Centre with their teacher and staying together as a group to do activities.

If we could just improve the resources and facilities, I think it would be fine.

Is the cost going to be a problem?

PAM:It's not so much the expense that I'm worried about, and we've certainly got room to do it, but  it’s the problem of timetabling a teacher to be in there outside class hours.

If we're going to spend a lot of money on equipment and resources, we really need to make sure that everything is looked after properly.

Anyway, let's make some notes to see just whet needs doing to improve the Centre.

PAM:Now, what about the computers?

I think it might be a good idea to install some new models.

They would take up a lot less room and so that would increase the work space for text books and so on.

JUN:That would be great.

It is a bit cramped in there at times.

PAM:What about other resources?

Do you have a list of things that the students would like to see improved?

JUN:Yes, one of the comments that students frequently make is that  they find it difficult to find materials that are appropriate for their level, especially reading resources, so I think we need to label them more dearly.

PAM:Well that's easy enough, we can get that organised very quickly.

In fact I think we should review all of the study resources as some of them are looking a bit out-of-date.

JUN:Definitely.

The CD section especially needs to be more current.

I think we should get some of the ones that go with our latest course books and also make multiple copies.

PAM:Good, now I was also thinking about some different materials that we haven't got in there at all.

What do you think of  the idea of introducing some workbooks?

If we break them up into separate paces and laminate them, they’d be a great resource.

The students could study the main course book in class and then do follow-up practice in the Self-Access Centre.

JUN:That sounds good.

PAM:Okay, now finally we need to think about how the room is used I'll have  to talk to the teachers and make sure we can all reach some agreement on a timetable to supervise the centre after class.

But we also need to think about security, too.

Especially if we're going to invest in some new equipment.

JUN: What about putting in an alarm?

PAM:Good idea.

The other thing I'd like to do is talk to our technicians and see whether we could somehow  limit the access to email.

I really don't want to see that resource misused.

JUN:What about if we agree to only use it before and after class?

PAM:Yes, that would be fine.

OK, anyway ...

that's great for now.

Well discuss it further when we've managed to ...

二、Self-Access Centre 聽力中文翻譯：

PAM：嗨Jun

如你所知，我今天請(qǐng)你在這里討論我們自助中心的未來(lái)

我們必須決定，對(duì)于我們的英語(yǔ)學(xué)生來(lái)說，這一非常重要的資源，我們想做些什么

那么，你能告訴我學(xué)生們是怎么想的嗎？

小君：嗯，從學(xué)生的角度來(lái)看，我們想保留它

大多數(shù)學(xué)生說他們喜歡使用它，因?yàn)樗峁┝苏n堂常規(guī)的變化，他們認(rèn)為它是他們課程的一個(gè)相當(dāng)重要的組成部分，但我們希望看到設(shè)備的一些改進(jìn)，特別是計(jì)算機(jī)；

目前每個(gè)人都沒有足夠的錢，我們總是要分享

帕姆：是的，老師們都同意這是一個(gè)非常寶貴的資源，但我們注意到的一件事是，很多學(xué)生都在使用它來(lái)查看他們的個(gè)人電子郵件

我們不想阻止你們學(xué)生使用電腦，但我們認(rèn)為電腦應(yīng)該被用作學(xué)習(xí)資源，而不是用來(lái)收發(fā)電子郵件

我們中的一些人還認(rèn)為，將自助中心搬遷到大學(xué)圖書館主樓，可以使我們受益匪淺

你覺得學(xué)生們會(huì)怎么想，小君？

小君：嗯，圖書館足夠大，可以容納自助中心，但它不再像課堂活動(dòng)了

我們主要擔(dān)心的是不能向老師尋求建議

我相信會(huì)有很多事情要做，但我們真的需要老師幫助我們選擇最好的活動(dòng)

潘：嗯，還會(huì)有一位老師在場(chǎng)，他或她會(huì)指導(dǎo)學(xué)生的活動(dòng)，我們不會(huì)讓他們繼續(xù)下去

小君：是的，但我認(rèn)為學(xué)生們會(huì)更樂意保持現(xiàn)有的設(shè)施；

他們真的喜歡和老師一起去自助中心，一起做活動(dòng)

如果我們能改善資源和設(shè)施，我想那就好了

成本會(huì)有問題嗎？

帕姆：我擔(dān)心的不是這么多費(fèi)用，我們當(dāng)然有足夠的空間去做，但問題是安排老師在課余時(shí)間在那里

如果我們要在設(shè)備和資源上花很多錢，我們真的需要確保一切都得到妥善照顧

無(wú)論如何，讓我們做一些筆記，看看whet需要做些什么來(lái)改進(jìn)中心

潘：那么，電腦呢？

我認(rèn)為安裝一些新型號(hào)可能是個(gè)好主意

它們會(huì)占用更少的空間，因此會(huì)增加課本等的工作空間

小君：那太好了

那里有時(shí)有點(diǎn)擁擠

帕姆：其他資源呢？

你有學(xué)生們希望改進(jìn)的事情清單嗎？

小君：是的，學(xué)生們經(jīng)常發(fā)表的評(píng)論之一是，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)很難找到適合自己水平的材料，尤其是閱讀資源，所以我認(rèn)為我們需要給它們貼上更高的標(biāo)簽

帕姆：那很容易，我們可以很快組織起來(lái)

事實(shí)上，我認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該審查所有的研究資源，因?yàn)槠渲幸恍┵Y源看起來(lái)有些過時(shí)

小君：當(dāng)然

CD部分尤其需要更新

我認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該買一些與我們最新的課程書配套的書，并制作多份副本

帕姆：很好，現(xiàn)在我還在考慮一些我們根本沒有的不同材料

你認(rèn)為引進(jìn)一些練習(xí)本的想法如何？

如果我們把它們分成不同的步驟，并將它們分層，它們將是一個(gè)巨大的資源

學(xué)生可以在課堂上學(xué)習(xí)主教材，然后在自助中心進(jìn)行后續(xù)練習(xí)

小君：聽起來(lái)不錯(cuò)

帕姆：好的，現(xiàn)在我們需要考慮一下這個(gè)房間是如何使用的我必須和老師們談?wù)?，確保我們能就課后監(jiān)督中心的時(shí)間表達(dá)成一致意見

但我們也需要考慮安全問題

尤其是如果我們打算投資一些新設(shè)備

小君：報(bào)警怎么樣？

潘：好主意

我想做的另一件事是與我們的技術(shù)人員談?wù)?，看看我們是否可以以某種方式限制對(duì)電子郵件的訪問

我真的不想看到資源被濫用

小君：如果我們同意只在課前和課后使用它呢？

帕姆：是的，那很好

好吧，不管怎樣

現(xiàn)在很好

當(dāng)我們?cè)O(shè)法

五、Self-Access Centre 聽力答案解析

21. C　考生在聽到 the majority of students 時(shí)，應(yīng)該注意 21 題題干中的主語(yǔ)即是 students，所以很可能后面接的句子就是問題的答案原文中提到 ...they see it as a pretty major component of their course，瀏覽選項(xiàng)可知 C 項(xiàng)中的 an important part of their studies 與原文對(duì)應(yīng)

22. B　原文先提到了 ...teachers agree that...，后文又說到了 some of us，顯然 some of us 對(duì)應(yīng)了題干中的 some teachers，所以重點(diǎn)應(yīng)該放在后半句的 ...we could benefit a lot more by relocating the Self-Access Centre to the main University library building.，由此可知 B 項(xiàng)正確，其中的 move 就是原句中動(dòng)詞 relocate 的同義替換

23. B　題干中的 the students’ main concern 對(duì)應(yīng)錄音中的 our main worry，這是試題中常見的同義詞轉(zhuǎn)換根據(jù)原文中的 Our main worry would be not being able to go to a teacher for advice. 可知 B 項(xiàng)正確，B 項(xiàng)中的 difficulty in getting help 是該句的同義轉(zhuǎn)換

24. C　根據(jù)錄音中的 It’s not so much the expense that I’m worried about. 可以排除 A 選項(xiàng)；根據(jù) we’ve certainly got room to do it 又可以排除 B 選項(xiàng)；隨后聽到的 ...it’s the problem of timetabling a teacher to be there outside class hours. 才是正解，對(duì)應(yīng) C 選項(xiàng)中的 the difficulty in supervising the centre

25. reading　當(dāng)聽到 What about other resources? 時(shí)，應(yīng)注意 25 題所在部分的小標(biāo)題是 Resources，聽錄音時(shí)要關(guān)注后面提到的內(nèi)容，并且注意定位空格前的詞語(yǔ) level錄音中提到 ...they find it difficult to find materials that are appropriate for their level,especially reading resources. 時(shí)，我們很容易確定 reading 就是正確答案

26. CD　審題時(shí)要注意 update 這個(gè)關(guān)鍵詞聽到錄音中談?wù)?...some of them are looking a bit out-of-date. 時(shí)，能推測(cè)出下面該有更新?lián)Q代的說明根據(jù)后面的 The CD section especially needs to be more current.，梳理出 CD 為本題答案

27. workbooks　錄音中提到了What do you think of the idea of introducing some workbooks?，后又聽到 break them up into separate pages?，題干中的 divide them up 和該短語(yǔ)含義一致，可以確定 workbooks 這個(gè)名詞即為答案值得注意的是這是一個(gè)單詞，必須合在一起書寫

28. timetable / schedule　題干中的 supervising the centre 在錄音中的 ...talk to the teachers and make sure we can all reach some agreement on a timetable to supervise the centre after class. 出現(xiàn)，因此學(xué)生需要跟老師們達(dá)成統(tǒng)一的 timetable 來(lái)監(jiān)管自習(xí)室，錄音中的 reach some agreement on 跟卷面信息的 organise 為同義替換

29. alarm　根據(jù)題干中的 install 可知該空格要表示安裝的某種設(shè)備，錄音中先提到了 invest in some new equipment，緊接著的 What about putting in an alarm? 讓我們抓住一個(gè)元音開頭的名詞 alarm，對(duì)方說 Good idea. 表示贊同，put in 和卷面信息詞 install 含義一致，因此答案為 alarm

30. email / emails　卷面信息詞 restrict 在錄音中沒有原詞，restrict 是對(duì)錄音中 limit 的同義轉(zhuǎn)換，根據(jù)原文中的 limit the access to email 可知答案為 email 或者復(fù)數(shù)形式 emails考生一定要對(duì)這類替換詞有快速的捕捉能力
