1、雅思（听力）模拟试卷 64及答案与解析 一、 Listening Module (30 minutes in particular, at this years theme - circuses. Im going to tell you about two circus performances, but there are plenty of others in the programme. Ive chosen these because they represent distinct movements within circus performance. The first is t
2、he Circus Romano from Italy. As this is a travelling circus, it follows a long tradition by performing in a marquee - which is really like a canvas portable building, usually put up in a green space or car park, rather than in a theatre or stadium. In spite of this, Circus Romano isnt at all like th
3、e traditional circuses I grew up with. There are no animals -just very talented clowning and acrobatic routines. The show has a lot of very funny moments, especially at the beginning, but the best part is the music and lighting. Theyre magical. At forty-five dollars its very expensive anyway - its r
4、eally for adult tastes. In fact, much of it would be wasted on children - so I suggest you leave them at home. The second circus performance is Circus Electrica at the Studio Theatre. The purists are suggesting that this isnt a circus at all. Its a showcase for skills in dance and magic, rather than
5、 the usual ones you expect in a circus. With only six performers its a small production, which suits the venue well -the Studio only seats about two hundred people. For my money its the aerial displays which are outstanding as well as the magical tricks - features which are missing from Circus Roman
6、o. An interesting feature of the show is that the performers are so young - the youngest is only fourteen. But its still well worth seeing: a good one for the whole family. And finally, as its summer, you may wish to see some of the Festival performances that are being presented outdoors. Like the f
7、amous Mekong Water Puppet Troupe, performing in the City Gardens this week. Now, water puppetry is amazing! Its large puppets on long sticks, controlled by puppeteers standing waist deep in the lake. The puppets do comedy routines and there is some terrific formation dancing. This is a fantastic sho
8、w and the best moment comes at the end - seeing the puppeteers. When the troupe walks up out of the water, you get this amazing feeling. Its really hard to believe that what youve been watching is lifeless wood and cloth. As an adult, I had a great time, but I did note that other older people in the

W
27、e appreciate that some of our ideas may not be feasible in the circumstances, but we do feel that it is important that the ultimate beneficiaries of the facilities should have some say in its design. If I could start by briefly explaining what steps were taken to find out student opinion and how we
28、have arrived at conclusions. Firstly, a meeting was held in the current Union for our SU Committee to explain the options. Then we invited all students to submit written suggestions for the design, placing cards in a suggestion box. These suggestions then provided the basis for the design of a quest
29、ionnaire, which was completed by approximately two thousand of the College students over a period of three weeks. Finally, the SU Committee collated the results and drew up a report. If I can just hand around a copy of that report. This presentation is essentially a summary and discussion of the key
30、 points of this report. So, in broad terms, the consensus was as follows. Firstly, regarding the crucial matter of the site, we presented the three options that you have proposed. One: in the city centre, near the Faculty of Education: two: on the outskirts of the city, near the park, and three: out
31、 of town, near the halls of residence. We asked students to cite reasons for and against these sites and, and there was remarkable agreement on all three. Site One was unpopular because of traffic and parking problems. Site Two had a number of supporters, mainly because it was close to most lecture
32、rooms. And Site Three, out of town, near the halls of residence, was clearly the most popular because of access from living quarters. It was clear that the Union was mainly to be used after lectures. It was also felt that the larger site would allow more room for a choice of facilities. Our second a
33、rea of interest was obviously the facilities: there was minimal interest in having a library on the premises, but one option seemed to be a reading room instead -more useful. We would like the current table games room to be replaced with a small gym. And, if possible, a small swimming pool - not, of
34、 course, Olympic-sized! There was a large number of respondents in favour of a travel agents and insurance centre. We also request that there be the offices of the Student Counselling Centre, moving this from the Refectory. There was, however, much disagreement about whether to build a drama theatre
35、. Just over forty per cent of the respondents were in favour, but a largish minority were strongly against it, claiming that it is elitist and a waste of funds. Essentially the jury is out on that. Finally, given the number of unfortunate incidents in the current Union over the past few months, a st
36、rong point was repeatedly made about security. The recommendations would be at least video surveillance and security personnel who would check Student Union cards on request. We doubt if it would be feasible to have a check at reception of all people coming in. Well, this is the summary of the views
37、 of the student population. As I say, fuller details are given in our report but Im happy to take any questions if you have them .(fade out) 31 【正确答案】 questionnaire 32 【正确答案】 approximately 2,000 / about 2,000 33 【正确答案】 Education 34 【正确答案】 halls of residence / living quarters 35 【正确答案】 traffic parking 36 【正确答案】 (most)lecture rooms / lecture halls / lecture theatres / lecture theaters 37 【正确答案】 (choice of)facilities /(room for)facilities 38 【正确答案】 D， F 39 【正确答案】 B 40 【正 确答案】 A， C
