查看解析
1 解析
原文是“And your first name? It's Keiko. K-E-I-K-O"。注意先听单词的发音，然后再听字母的拼读。雅思考试中经常会出现世界各地的人名、地名。但是要注意有些并不按英语的读音规则发音。
2 解析
原文是"…your passport number is JO 6337”。考生很容易就可以定位出第二题答案，难度不大。注意：雅思考试中经常会出现一些包含字母的号码，一般大写即可。
3 解析
原文"About four months...longer if I like it…"中"about"与题干中的"approx"是同义词。另外要注意"months"是复数。
4 解析
原文"I've enrolled for twenty weeks in the ... Advanced English Studies because I need help with my writing..."中"enroll"一词也出现在了题F中，定位比较容易。但是要注意答案的完整性。雅思考试中出现过三种英语课程：general, academic 和advanced。另外还要注意INSTRUCTOR做题指令中提到第一段对话中有1-4题的答案，而第二段对话中有5- 10题的答案。不要因为1-6题是一个表格，就误以为第一段中有1-6题的答案。
5 解析
原文“I prefer... mean I like young children, but I'd like to be with older people…you know…adults...some around my age."中前面有一个信息“I like young children"；后而的"older people, adult...someone around my age"反而是迷惑信息。因为问题问的是：更倾向家中没有什么。
6 解析
原文"Okay, and what about pets? I'm a veterinarian so that’s fine...the more the better."中说“因为她是一个兽医，所以不反对有宠物”。注意题干问的是：不反对有什么。
7-10
Answer the questions below.
write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.What does the student particularly like to eat?
What sport dose the student play?
What mode of transport does the student prefer?

我的答案： 7. 8. 9. 10.
正确答案： 7. seafood|SEAFOOD 8. tennis|TENNIS 9. trains|train|the train|TRAINS|TRAIN|THE TRAIN 10. that afternoon|this afternoon|THAT AFTERNOON|THIS AFTERNOON
查看解析
7 解析
原文"I'm not a vegetarian…but I don't eat a lot of meat...I really like seafood."中有迷惑信息“meat"，但是原对其予以了否定。
8 解析
原文"Yes, I joined the handball team, but I didn't like that…so I stopped playing. Now I play tennis on the weekend with my fend..."中说“她以前打手球，现在打的是网球”。
9 解析
原文"I've been to the city a few times on the bus, but they are always late...I like catching the train...they are much faster"中说“公共汽车经常晚点。她喜欢更快的火车”。
10 解析
原文I'll check my records and I'll give you details this afternoon."中明确说当天下午给她详细信息。“that afternoon"和"this afternoon"两个答案都可以接受。但是前者更准确，因为对于考生来说，这个对话是以前发生的。

我的答案： 11. 12. 13. 14.
正确答案： 11. C 12. B 13. A 14. B
查看解析
11 解析
原文"I hope that you're all wearing your most comfortable shoes and that you can keep up the pace."中提到了“舒服的鞋子"，所以应该选择C，步行。
12 解析
原文There used to be a lot of factories in this area until the 1960s. Creating the park required the demolition of lots of derelict buildings on the site, so most of the exciting park space all around you was originally warehouses and storehouses. "中提到这儿曾经有很多“factories" ，所以应该选择B，工业建筑。
13 解析
原文"If the land was to be cleaned up, they wanted to use the site for recreation. Residents wanted open space for outdoor activities, rather than housing or even an indoor sports complex."中提到了三个选项，但是否定了B、C选项。不过三个选项并不是直接出自原文，而是原文的同义替换。如：A选项"Ieisure"就相当于原文中的"recreation, outdoor activities”。
14 解析
原文"'The tall blue-and-white building in front of us is called The Tower and is the centre point for the formal gardens."中清楚地告诉考生应该选择B。这个公园是由两部分构成的：自然区和人工建造区，而塔在人工建造区的中心。可能许多考生不清楚" formal"在本文中的含义，但这并不影响答题。它的意思是“由几何图形构成的”。
15-17

我的答案： 15. 16. 17.
正确答案： 15. car park|CAR PARK 16. rose garden|ROSE GARDEN 17. café|CAFE|cafe
查看解析
15 解析
原文"Out to the east…The Olympic site has its own station to encourage the use of public transport. There is also a car park, but it only holds a limited number of cars."清楚地说明了是在东边，而且除了"station"外，那边还有“car park"。
16 解析
原文“And around to the west, you can relax and sit on a bench to smell the flowers in the rose garden..."中也明确说到了，在西边有一个"rose garden"。
17 解析
原文"...and finally up to the north, if you look in front of you now, there's a lake with a small island in the centre, you can hire rowing boats at the boat shed, which you can't see from here, but if you look through the trees, you can see the cafe, which has lovely views across the water,"中说到在北边，除了有湖、岛、树,穿过树林就可以看到“café"。
18-20
Complete the table below.
Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.Nature Reserve Area Facility Activity The Mangroves boardwalk Frog Pond outdoor classroom The Waterbird Refuge bird watching 我的答案： 18. 19. 20.
正确答案： 18. cycling|CYCLING 19. biology lessons|BIOLOGY LESSONS 20. viewing shelter|VIEWING SHELTER
查看解析
18 解析
原文“The Mangroves have been made more accessible to visitors by the boardwalk built during the park's upgrade. You'd think that people would come here to look at the unusual plant life of the area, but in fact it's more often used for cycling...”中的"Mangroves”和"boardwalk"可以帮助考生定位到答案"cycling"。
19 解析
原文"Frog Pond...The area is now most often used by primary schools for biology lessons."中也直接给出了答案。
20 解析
原文"Waterbird Refuge...This area is in a sheltered part of the estuary, that's why the park's viewing shelter is a favourite spot for bird watchers who can use it to spy through binoculars."中，答案出现在题干给出的两个信息中间。要特别注意的是，答案要完整，如果只"shelter"就不能得分了。

我的答案： 21. 22.
正确答案： 21. 5|five 22. assessed
查看解析
21 解析
原文"and five minutes for questions中直接给出了答案，比较简单。预测的时候就知道这个题要听一个数字。
22 解析
原文"...and is this one going to be assed No, not this time round…"虽然是在问句中提到了题干中的"will"和所填答案"assessed" ，但是只要考生稍加记忆，就可以轻松地从后面的否定词中获得答案。要注意该答案的写法。

C . They will not include this topic.
我的答案： 23. 24. 25. 26.
正确答案： 23. A 24. B 25. A 26. C
查看解析
23 解析
原文"but I think we ought to say something about the geographical location…cos not a lot of people know where the islands are"中的"ought to"提示考生该题应选A。
24 解析
原文"Shouldn't we say something about the economy…because it does influence the education system...let's think about that one later shall we?"中说"economy"这个话题以后再说，所以他们有可能要包括这个话题，所以选B。
25 解析
原文"general view of education.. of course"中的"of course"提示考生应选A。
26 解析
原文"…and then the role of English language...Nope...that goes in the Language Policy Seminar...don't you remember? Are you sure? Positive."中说"the role of English language"要在另外一个讨论中涉及，所以肯定不包括，选C。
27-30

Write NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS for each answer.Information/visual aid Where from? Overhead projector the Map of West Africa the Map of the islands a tourist brochure Literacy figures the on school places as above 我的答案： 27. 28. 29. 30.
正确答案： 27. media room |MEDIA ROOM 28. resources room |RESOURCES ROOM 29. embassy |EMBASSY 30. statistics|stats|STATISTICS|STATS
查看解析
27 解析
原文"... most important thing is the overhead projector...No problem... we'll get that from the media room..."中的代词"that"指的是上文提到的"overhead projector”。如果无法将代词还原，定位就会出现问题。多做快速阅读可以解决这样的问题。
28 解析
原文“Well, the West African one is no problem...There's one in the Resources Room...Oh yeah, of course, the resources room..."中可以直接听到答案。但是可能有些考生虽然听到了答案，却没法正确拼出这个单词。为了熟悉单词的拼写，最好先熟悉读音规则。
29 解析
原文“Literacy rates...encyclopaedia...why don't we call the embassy? Oh…someone's enthusiastic! Well...if something's worth doing…I know...it's worth doing well...OK."前面出现了一个迷惑信息“百科全书”，不过后面又将其否定了。
30 解析
原文"We can find out statistics on school places from them as well. Might as well."中，答案出现在定位信息之前，如果短时记忆力不够好的话，就会错过答案。

-
C .

我的答案： 31. 32. 33.
正确答案： 31. B 32. C 33. A
查看解析
31 解析
原文“I'm going to talk about Monosodium Glutamate, or MSG...Today I'm going to explore why it is so popular in these cuisines and, more importantly, how does it enhance the flavour of food?"中明确说明了本节讲座的主要内容是介绍味精是如何起作用的，所以应该选择B。主旨题在雅思考试中非常少见。但是这个主旨题不需要考生自己去总结，因为原文直接给出了答案。
32 解析
原文“But it wasn't until 1908 that the ingredient in kombu which was responsible for the improvement in flavour was actually discovered to be glutamate by scientists working there." 中的“1908"可以让考生直接定位答案。注意原文中的"discovered to be"与C选项中的"identified"是同义词。
33 解析
与32题一样，原文"It was in 1956 that the speed of the process was improved, and industrial production increased dramatically and sill continues to increase to this day."中也有题目里提到的时间“1956"，比较容易定位。原文里面的三个信息"improved, increased dramatically, continues to increase"清楚地告诉考生应该选A。一般来说，重复性的信息是很重要的，因为在实际生活中人们都会重复重要信息。

我的答案： 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40.
正确答案： 34. water|WATER 35. meat|cheese|MEAT|CHEESE 36. cheese|meat|CHEESE|MEAT 37. 5th taste|new taste|fifth taste|5TH|NEW TASTE 38. common |COMMON 39. bitterness |BITTERNESS 40. minerals|MINERALS
查看解析
34 解析
原文“MSG contains 78.2% glutamate, 12.2% sodium and 9.6% water”中有三个数字，其中第三个可以定位答案“water"。
35 解析
原文“Glutamate is an amino acid that can be found naturally in all protein-containing foods, erm, so this includes food such as meat and cheese."中清楚地给出了答案"meat and cheese"。但是这两个答案相距很近，而且填完34题的答案紧接着就是这句话，两句话中信息密集。从这样的角度出题是要考查考生边听边写的能力。
36 解析
原文“Glutamate is an amino acid that can be found naturally in all protein-containing foods, erm, so this includes food such as meat and cheese."中清楚地给出了答案"meat and cheese"。但是这两个答案相距很近，而且填完34题的答案紧接着就是这句话，两句话中信息密集。从这样的角度出题是要考查考生边听边写的能力。
37 解析
原文"in 1908, Kikunae Ikeda identified a fifth 'taste”"中有题干中的两个单词“1908”和人名“Kikunae Ikeda"，这使得定位变得更轻松。另外答案除了可以写“fifth taste"也可以写"new taste"。
38 解析
原文"we should have the ability to detect or taste glutamate because it is the amino acid which is most common in natural foods"中的"most"与题干中的“so"是同义词，因为most也有“很”的意思。
39 解析
原文Bitterness, he says, alerts us of toxins in the food..."中的"alerts"与题干中的"tells"是同义词。这道题的出题角度是信息前置，也就是说，答案出现在定位信息之前。这就需要考生更强的短时记忆能力，而多练习听写可以提高这种能力。
40 解析
原文“saltiness signals the presence of minerals"中的“signals"与题干中的"tells"也是同义词。
