30、te 10 【正确答案】 local 10 【听力原文】 Right, so here we are in Fairhaven, and we have a couple of hours to spend in this historic centre before we carry on to our motel. And as youll know from the itinerary of our trip, were visiting Fairhaven because of its historical links with a man called Manjiro Nakaham
31、a. So Ill begin by giving you a brief overview of his life, and then you can explore the town at your leisure. Well, Manjiro Nakahama, as he was then known, was born in 1827 in a village by the sea in what is now Tosashimizu in Japan. And like many people in that town, he became a fisherman when he
32、was just a youngster. One day in 1841, when he was just 14 years old, he and some others were fishing far off the coast of Japan when they were caught in a storm and shipwrecked on a small deserted island. They had to wait for six months before they were rescued by an American whale ship that had st
33、opped at the island by chance. Four of the five Japanese were put ashore in Hawaii, but Manjiro had become friends with the captain, William Whitfield, who came from the town of Fairhaven, where we are now, and he chose to remain aboard, and to return with the boat to the USA. So Manjiro unwittingly
34、 became the first Japanese ever to set foot on American soil. He came back right here to Fairhaven with Whitfield, and stayed with the Whitfield family who paid for his education here in the town. He studied Mathematics and Geography as well as shipbuilding and navigation. But he missed his mother,
35、and his own country, and eventually he went back to Japan where he had a responsible position as a university teacher and also served an invaluable role as interpreter during the initiation of relations between Japan and the United States in the middle of the nineteenth century. But the most interes
36、ting thing is that the links between Tosashimizu and Fairhaven have remained and grown stronger over the years, in spite of the distance between them, and in fact the two places now have the official status of sister cities. Both places are ports, so in fact the inhabitants have a lot in common. The
37、re have been a number of visits by the inhabitants of Tosashimizu, in particular at the time of the Festival, which is held every two years here in Fairhaven to celebrate the life and achievements of John Manjiro. It takes place in the fall, and theres an ever-growing programme including drumming, s
38、inging, martial arts, and stalls selling Japanese and American food. So if youre going to be in the region around then, its really worth a visit. Now, many of the buildings that Manjiro Nakahama knew in Fairhaven are still standing today, and so if youd just like to hand round some copies of this ma
39、p Ill suggest the best route to follow to see them. OK, so if you look at the bottom of the map you can see the Millicent Library, and thats where we are now. Now to follow the John Manjiro trail, you go out of here along Centre Street, and then head up Main Street until you get to Pilgrim Avenue. G
40、o down there and turn right at the end, go straight on and just on the corner with Oxford Street youll see a two-storey house. This is the Whitfield family house, and this is where Manjiro first stayed when he came to Fairhaven. Its still a private residence, so please respect the owners privacy. OK
41、. Now, if you carry on along Oxford Street, then turn left at the end, youll come to North Street, and about half-way down there is whats known as Old Oxford School. This was the very same school that Manjiro attended when he lived here. It was considered to be the best school in town because of the
42、 quality of the building unusually, it was built of stone and the quality of the teaching. Nowadays its usually closed, except on special occasions. Go on to the end of North Street and turn the corner onto Adams Street. If you follow the road down, back towards the library, you go round a couple of
43、 sharp bends and on the second of these, you can see the School of Navigation which Manjiro also attended. And if you follow the road on, youll soon find yourself back here at the library, and Id suggest you spend some time looking round that too, if you have any time left. Right, now, does anyone h
44、ave any questions. 11 【正确答案】 fisherman 12 【正确答案】 six/6 months 13 【正确答案】 captain 14 【正确答案】 education 15 【正确答案】 (an)interpreter 16 【正确答案】 sister cities 17 【正确答案】 Festival 18 【正确答案】 I 19 【正确答案】 B 20 【正确答案】 E 21 【听力原文】 Dr. Hilsden: Right, Julia, so from your CV and portfolio, and what youve already told
45、 me, you seem to be very much the sort of person were looking for on the postgraduate course. So tell me, you finished your Fashion Design course in London four years ago. Did you think of carrying straight on and doing a higher degree at the time? Julia: Yes, but there were financial pressures. So
46、I ended up working in the retail industry, as you can see from my CV. And actually it was a very useful experience. Dr. Hilsden: Mmm. In what way? Julia: Well, I was lucky to get the job with FashionNow theyre a big store, and, one of my priorities was to get as much experience as possible in differ
47、ent areas, so that was good because I had the chance to work in lots of different departments. And having direct contact with the customers meant I was able to see how they reacted to innovation to new fashion ideas, because with FashionNow, a designer might show something in New York or Milan and t
48、herell be something similar in the shop within weeks. So, that was probably the most useful thing for me. Dr. Hilsden: Right. And so whats made you decide to do a postgraduate course now? Julia: Erm. Well, while I enjoyed working at FashionNow, and I learned a lot there, I felt. well, the way forward would have been to develop my managerial skills rather than my skills in fashion design, and Im not sure thats what I want to do. Dr. Hilsden: Mmm, yes. Julia: When I was doing my degree in London Id been interested in womens wear. But I know that
