Part 1 影子跟讀「短對話」練習

Customer service: I am afraid all our drivers are flat out at the moment. I would suggest you take a taxi from the airport to the campus, but it would cost you an arm and a leg.

Mark: Would you refund the cost of the pickup service since I

was not picked up?

Customer service: Unfortunately, it has all been prepaid, and it

is customer’s responsibility to provide us the correct flight details.

Mark: That is totally unfair! I did provide the correct itinerary to my agent. It is not my fault if the information somehow got lost in the system. I can’t get hold of my agent due to the time difference. If I would be charged anyway, I would rather stick around here for your next available driver.

Unit 7 鯨魚

There are more than 90 species of whales, all whale species can be categorised into baleen whales and toothed whales. The baleen whales eat by swimming slowly through fish-rich water and straining food into their mouth. And toothed whales as their names indicate, have teeth. Whales live in marine environment and they are mammals. Just like the continental mammals, whales are also viviparous, which means they reproduce by giving birth to a calf rather than eggs, which leads to fewer offspring and longer-lived individuals. Whales breath with their lungs, and they all have blowholes positioned on top of their head. They breathe in air through the blowholes when they are on the water surface

and close it up when they dive. All mammals need to sleep, but whales have to be awake at all times to maintain breath. So whales have a special sleep pattern: half of their brain falls asleep while the other half keeps awake, that makes whales sleep 24 hours per day.

Whales have very advanced hearing and they can hear from miles away. They produce low frequency sound, which can be detected over large distances. Now many species of whales are declared as endangered. Apart from human activities such as illegal whaling, these animals collide with ships or get entangled with fishing nets. They are also threatened by pollution and habitat loss from climate change. Now I will briefly talk about four types of baleen

whales.

The first one is the blue whale. The blue whale is the largest animal on the planet. It is also the largest animals ever to have lived, since they are much larger than dinosaurs. Their heart has the same size of a small car, which bumps tons of blood through the circulatory system of the blue whale. The largest blue whale that was ever found was 33.58 meters long and weighed 190 tons. The skin of the blue whale is blue-grey colored. On top of its head, there is a large ridge located from the tip of the nose to the blowhole. The blue whale has a very small dorsal fin and relatively

small tail flukes. In terms of feeding and distribution, the blue whale feeds almost exclusively on krill, and you can find the blue whales worldwide. They travel to polar waters to feed during summer time and spend the winter in tropical or subtropical areas. Blue whales like to swim alone or in groups of 2 or 3. In the past century, blue whale has been extensively hunted and the number has deceased to a very low level. Hence, it is now listed as an endangered species. The second one I will introduce is the fin whale. The fin whale is a fast swimmer. It can swim at the speed of 30 km/hr. Occasionally, the fin whale can jump out of the water. The average length of the fin whale is about 18 to 22 meters and it

can weigh up to 70 tons. The fin whale looks long and slender, the head resembles the blue whale but the color is dark grey to brown. The fin whale prefers to stay in deep water and it is also distributed all over the the world's ocean. Unlike the blue whale, the fin whale is more gregarious, which means they live in flocks and are more sociable. Fin whales are generally seen in groups of 10 or more. They mainly feed on small crustaceans such as crabs, lobsters and shrimps. Northern hemisphere fin whales also feed on fish.

雅思聽力編者序

雅思聽力與考生所熟悉的傳統聽力考試不太同的地方是，它包含了填空題，而填空題無法像選擇題聽力那樣大致聽懂主旨等，選出對的答案或是儘管在聽不懂或來不及答完試題時用猜的。雅思聽力一共有 4 個 section，總共 40 題試題，有時候整場考試下來，於填完答案卡後一數，涉及拼字的填空或摘要題多達 30 題，這部分也顯示出除了要聽懂外，更要能拚出該單字。很多時候單字是你我都熟悉不過的單字，例如冰箱等生活場景的字彙，但有時候考生太久沒用卻忘了怎麼拚了，而造成失分。有時候卻是因為答案不只一個單字，可能是月份＋日期、兩個單字、月份＋年、國名、數字（電話號碼、序號等）和家電用品等。聽起來似乎不太容易但其實卻是有脈絡可循，雅思聽力考的字不難而且考試考來考去就那些字，只要針對這些字彙強化就能在考試中有顯著的成效。

書籍中一共規劃了四個部分，影子跟讀「短對話」、影子跟讀「短段落」、影子跟讀「實戰練習」和雅思必考字彙。規劃影子跟讀的用意是強化考生聽力專注力，考生可以藉由每個單元練習數十次的影子跟讀，並於熟悉語速後逐步拉長影子跟讀的句子，在能聽到更多訊息後再跟著讀，能大幅強化應考實力。影子跟讀「短對話」可以強化section 1 和 2 聽短訊息時的能力，要注意的是別因為這兩個部分較簡單，而因為分心造成分數失分。影子跟讀「短段落」的部分則包含試題練習，先由短段落練習影子跟讀並用後面規劃的試題演練大幅強化聽月份、數字、年、日期和家電用品等雅思必考字彙。影子跟讀「實戰練習」也包含了長段落影子跟讀和試題，試題能有效強化聽 section 3 和 4 的應考實力，考生常會在聽較長訊息時會因許多因素，如較不專注或看題本某題空格遲遲未聽到該題相關聽力訊息、誤判定位等使自己在 section 3 和 4 的答對題數不理想。建議可以多練習這部分影子跟讀的次數並確實完成試題，直到每個填空題都能答對為止。

最後的部分是雅思必考字彙，必考字彙更便於考生在考前觀看和熟悉生活場景字彙（其實程度很好的考生，可能僅看下必考字彙單元就能於考試中拿到聽力 7-7.5+左右的成績。）。此外，聽力前三部份的設計和量，其實非常紮實，做數十次後其實遠比數學期聽力課效用更高，也很適合欲累積逐步口譯能力的考生不斷作練習並增進自己的能力。最後祝所有考生都能考取理想成績。
