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，我今天請你在這里討論我們自助中心的未來

我們必須決定，對于我們的英語學生來說，這一非常重要的資源，我們想做些什么

那么，你能告訴我學生們是怎么想的嗎？

小君：嗯，從學生的角度來看，我們想保留它

大多數(shù)學生說他們喜歡使用它，因為它提供了課堂常規(guī)的變化，他們認為它是他們課程的一個相當重要的組成部分，但我們希望看到設備的一些改進，特別是計算機；

目前每個人都沒有足夠的錢，我們總是要分享

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

我們不想阻止你們學生使用電腦，但我們認為電腦應該被用作學習資源，而不是用來收發(fā)電子郵件

我們中的一些人還認為，將自助中心搬遷到大學圖書館主樓，可以使我們受益匪淺

你覺得學生們會怎么想，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了

我們主要擔心的是不能向老師尋求建議

我相信會有很多事情要做，但我們真的需要老師幫助我們選擇最好的活動

潘：嗯，還會有一位老師在場，他或她會指導學生的活動，我們不會讓他們繼續(xù)下去

小君：是的，但我認為學生們會更樂意保持現(xiàn)有的設施；

他們真的喜歡和老師一起去自助中心，一起做活動

如果我們能改善資源和設施，我想那就好了

成本會有問題嗎？

帕姆：我擔心的不是這么多費用，我們當然有足夠的空間去做，但問題是安排老師在課余時間在那里

如果我們要在設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

無論如何，讓我們做一些筆記，看看whet需要做些什么來改進中心

潘：那么，電腦呢？

我認為安裝一些新型號可能是個好主意

它們會占用更少的空間，因此會增加課本等的工作空間

小君：那太好了

那里有時有點擁擠

帕姆：其他資源呢？

你有學生們希望改進的事情清單嗎？

小君：是的，學生們經常發(fā)表的評論之一是，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，所以我認為我們需要給它們貼上更高的標簽

帕姆：那很容易，我們可以很快組織起來

事實上，我認為我們應該審查所有的研究資源，因為其中一些資源看起來有些過時

小君：當然

CD部分尤其需要更新

我認為我們應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

你認為引進一些練習本的想法如何？

如果我們把它們分成不同的步驟，并將它們分層，它們將是一個巨大的資源

學生可以在課堂上學習主教材，然后在自助中心進行后續(xù)練習

小君：聽起來不錯

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

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備

小君：報警怎么樣？

潘：好主意

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

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

當我們設法

五、Self-Access Centre 聽力答案解析

21. C　考生在聽到 the majority of students 時，應該注意 21 題題干中的主語即是 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，瀏覽選項可知 C 項中的 an important part of their studies 與原文對應

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 對應了題干中的 some teachers，所以重點應該放在后半句的 ...we could benefit a lot more by relocating the Self-Access Centre to the main University library building.，由此可知 B 項正確，其中的 move 就是原句中動詞 relocate 的同義替換

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

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；根據(jù) we’ve certainly got room to do it 又可以排除 B 選項；隨后聽到的 ...it’s the problem of timetabling a teacher to be there outside class hours. 才是正解，對應 C 選項中的 the difficulty in supervising the centre

25. reading　當聽到 What about other resources? 時，應注意 25 題所在部分的小標題是 Resources，聽錄音時要關注后面提到的內容，并且注意定位空格前的詞語 level錄音中提到 ...they find it difficult to find materials that are appropriate for their level,especially reading resources. 時，我們很容易確定 reading 就是正確答案

26. CD　審題時要注意 update 這個關鍵詞聽到錄音中談論 ...some of them are looking a bit out-of-date. 時，能推測出下面該有更新?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 和該短語含義一致，可以確定 workbooks 這個名詞即為答案值得注意的是這是一個單詞，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)，因此學生需要跟老師們達成統(tǒng)一的 timetable 來監(jiān)管自習室，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? 讓我們抓住一個元音開頭的名詞 alarm，對方說 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 是對錄音中 limit 的同義轉換，根據(jù)原文中的 limit the access to email 可知答案為 email 或者復數(shù)形式 emails考生一定要對這類替換詞有快速的捕捉能力
