雅思聽力機經

一、考試概述：

本場考試依然為20+20的題目配置，但是由於在S2和S4的出題型別方面有比較大的變化，所以本場考試難度不會很低。所幸S4的選題內容都不太長，對於考生來說雖然會有挑戰，但是也應該不會特別棘手。

Section 1諮詢——課程介紹，10筆記

Section 2介紹——事件說明，10筆記

Section 3學生討論——講座討論，4配對+6單選

Section 4講座——礦物資源發展變化研究，10選擇

　　二、具體題目分析：

(答案僅供參考)

解析：本場考試出現的選課場景在劍橋真題系列中算是相對常見的諮詢場景內容。

本場考試中重點考察的無非還是常規的數字字母日期拼寫，其中第九題的J和G的

辨析是需要考生注意的。French約會有考生拼寫成Franch， Tuesday/March也是易錯點。

參考文章(僅供參考)：

Can you spot the difference?

This failure to notice what should be very apparent is something we unconsciously experience every day as our brains filter the barrage of visual information which we are flooded with. And apparently it has a name; it is called change blindness.

Scientists at Queen Mary, University of London, have invented a unique spot-the-difference-style computer game in order to Study Milan Verma, a scientist at Queen Mary, explains: "It's the phenomenon where seemingly striking or obvious changes are not noticed." He and his colleagues are asking volunteers to play the game-which involves looking at a screen as it flashes between two images of the same scene. "It flicks between a pre-change version and a post-change version of the scene," Dr Verma explains. "The volunteers simply have to press the button and tell us exactly when they spot the change."

Trying out the game at Dr Verma' S office, my initial reaction was self-satisfaction; I spotted the difference in the first scene - a picture of a butterfly with orange stripes on its wings - almost immediately.

In the pre-change scene the colorful insect had two stripes - one on each wing, and on the post-change, there was just one. Easy. Next? But I was quickly reminded that I am just as "change blind" as the next person. As an image of an iceberg scene with five penguins on it flashed in front of me, I stared blankly, unable to see a difference.

“I will let you off - there is a lot going on in this image," Dr Verma reassured me. "But it is quite a big change." He had to give me a clue - directing me to the area of the image where the change occurred - before I realised that a whole chunk of iceberg was missing in the post change image.

That represented one of the fundamental factors about change blindness; a whole chunk of iceberg might seem like an easier thing to spot than the stripe on a butterfly wing, but it is not as obvious to the human brain.

"The butterfly image is easy because the changed scene violates our expectations/, explains Dr Verma."We expect butterflies to be symmetrical - to have two identically marked wings - so one that isn't really stands out to us.

Neuroscientists, as well as developers of artificial intelligence, have been interested in this facet of human perception for many years. In fact, the Queen Mary team incorporate their biological findings into the design of robots - Studying the basis of human vision and perception in order to artificially recreate it.

And Dr Verma says this might be the first truly unbiased scientific Study of change blindness. "Previously, scientists have studied this by manually manipulating pictures, "he said. "So they'd use... image manipulation software, make a deliberate change and then ask viewers: “Can you see the change, yes or no?” This, he says, is cheating. If a human scientist makes a change to a picture, they are making a very human decision about what and where that change is-- choosing to remove the bird from the corner of the park view, or to change the color of the sofa in a living room scene. "So they're making some subjective judgement about how noticeable they think the change is."

In this Study, Dr Verma and his colleague and supervisor, Professor Peter McOwan, created an algorithm that meant the computer "decided" how to change the image. Professor McOwan told BBC News: "This is, as far as I'm aware, the first time ever that artificial intelligence [Al] technology has been used to generate experimental stimuli to test human percept ion." It brings together two interesting fields of study- Al and human perception. Dr Verma and Professor McOwen designed software that underlies the game's ability to make a change to each image. Dr Verma describes this as a "genetic algorithm". It essentially tells the computer to change the images in a process akin to evolution.

“It's like a process of survival of the fittest,” explained Dr Verma. "Darwin suggested that a fit individual is one that can best survive in its Surroundings - like a moth that can camouflage with the bark of a tree." But in this case "fitness" is determined by the smallest difference between the pre-and post-change scenes, in terms of how attention-grabbing they are.

Task 1

The charts below show the percentage of time adults spending in different leisure activities in a particular country in 1998 and 2010.

The Percentage in 1998

The Percentage in 2010

Word count: 150

The two bar charts illustrate how adults in a particular country spent their time in the years 1998 and 2010.

It is clear that socializing with others was the most popular activity among adults while cooking and eating were relatively less popular over the 12-year period.

In 1998, around 20% of adults preferred to socialize after work, and this figure went up to nearly 25% in 2010. 15% of grown-ups chose to do their hobbies and a 5% increase can be seen in this category after 12 years. At the same time, there was a slight rise in the shopping category, from 10% in 1998 to 15% in 2010.

Few people kept reading as a habit, with only above 10% of adults reading in both years. Finally, it is interesting to note that people became less interested in cooking and eating, with less than 5% of them doing these two activities.

TASK 2

題目型別：社會環境類

提問方式：報告

考試題目：

The world has many towns and cities constructed in previous centuries that are suitable and livable for people in those times. What problems will this cause today and what can be done to solve them?

分析：

報告題很久沒有出現了，預計暑假之後會出現那麼幾次。這類題型素已抽象，不好組織內容著稱。這次碰到的題目也不例外，好在話題還是之前的老話題，相信有所準備的同學們應該問題不大。

　範文參考：

Modernization has considerably outpaced the construction of new cities, thus resulting in many troubles in people’s life. Under pressure, the government needs to identify them to reduce complaints from citizens.

Commercial development gives a facility to urbanization in some cities where the basic infrastructure does not match the needs of enormous flows of dwellers. In some cases, the shortage of transportation means that the road would be blocked by vehicles especially during rush hours. This low efficient traffic can have negative implications on business to some extent. Apart from stagnated traffic, there are accommodation issues to be considered. This is because the advances of economy surely require large numbers of migrants. If single-storey constructions without necessary facilities including heating, sewage system and even electricity supply take a dominating place in city, it would be difficult for those workers to dwell comfortably.

To solve the problems identified above, the most influential factor may be the government who is responsible for modifying the old cities. Perhaps viaducts are needed to accommodate more vehicles and underground traffic systems such as railways or underpass tunnels can serve to ease road traffic dramatically. Persuading estate companies to construct more functional concrete jungles would probably be an effective strategy to mitigate the terrible living or working conditions. It would also help to improve the overlook of city if some districts are demolished for central business areas, public parks or statues.

Overall, the governors play a vital role in city development, and tax payers should have the awareness of maintaining their new cities.

以下為11月份本場高頻題，請考生紮實準備

interesting song you liked in your childhood

interesting website you like to visit

3.a large company that you are interested in

4.a small business you want to start

activity you do to keep fit

二、本場難題及解析

Describe an activity you do to keep fit.

You should say

What the activity

When, where you usually do it

How you do it

And explain why it can keep you fit

Speaking of an activity I do to keep fit, the first place that bumped into my mind is that I swim once a week, because swimming pool is near my home and I can go swimming anytime I want. When I was a child, my father taught me how to swim and I tried different kinds of position, such as freestyle, backstroke and butterfly stork. At first time, I was so scared, but my father encouraged me and I gradually tried my best to learn it. However, I really wanted to give up and I was not good sport, so my father told me that swimming was a good way to keep fit and swimming can burn calories. More importantly, if I fell into the water, it would keep me alive. Then, I got hang of it. Nowadays, I swim almost every week and it will cost me a lot of energy to swim. Now, I am slim because of swimming. Even though I am busy with my study, I still keep the habit of swimming.
