I'm going to give you the instructions for this test.

I'll introduce each part of the test and give you time to look at the questions.

At the start of each piece, you will hear this sound.

Remember to play each piece twice.

Now open your question paper and look at part one.

You'll hear three different extracts.

For questions 1 to 6, choose the answer A, B or C, which fits best according to what you hear.

There are two questions for each extract.

Extract 1.

You hear two friends discussing a book.

Now look at questions 1 and 2.

How are you getting on with that book I lent you?

Oh, OK.

When you said it was a thriller, I wasn't prepared for something written in the form of two first-person blogs, but I soon worked out that they already knew each other,

really, and that they were up to something together.

I can see why you thought it was an attempt to subvert the conventional linear thriller.

I reckon the writers had a pretty good stab at it.

Oh, I think there's more to it than that.

I'm online just like anybody else, and what interested me was the way the writers showed how much deception you can get away with, that there's not much comeback on what you say or do.

People tell each other things they'd never say to a real person in the same room.

That was really quite a wake-up call for me, because I think I may have been guilty of doing that.

You know, you can develop quite intimate relationships with people without meeting them or knowing if their intimacy is real or false.

It may be quite a long time before you find out something about them you'd have known instantly if you'd met.

Scary.

Now play the recording again.

Extract 2.

You hear part of a discussion about a jewellery designer.

Now look at questions 3 and 4.

Lily Standon's jewellery has been inspired by years spent travelling around the world.

Did you see evidence of that in her latest collection?

Well, it's certainly got a modern ethnic edge and is very diverse in terms of styling, which I guess is what people are picking up on.

But I'd say the thing that sets it apart is its multifunctionality.

I mean, who wouldn't be attracted to a piece that can be worn day or evening?

Some people rave about the futuristic feel of some of the stuff, particularly in her use of beading, which has become her sort of trademark,

but I felt that doesn't come through quite as strongly in this collection.

Apparently a more delicate collection is on the cards next.

Crafted from precious metals.

I mean, like everybody, I'm looking forward to seeing it, and who knows, perhaps she'll surprise us all yet again,

but I always have my doubts when the more cutting-edge designers start to step into more traditional territory.

It'd be a shame if she lost that edge.

You know, if the commercial imperative began to dictate the flow of creativity.

We've seen that so many times before with designers.

Extract 3.

You hear part of an interview with the owner of a shopping website.

Now look at questions 5 and 6.

Tell us about the life of a CEO.

I'm a CEO because I started this company and I've always had that entrepreneurial spirit in me.

But that doesn't necessarily prepare you for management, personnel and all those other aspects of running a company.

A lot of my job involves filling in the gaps of what doesn't get done.

Like I come in and check up on orders and see that the bills get paid.

Perhaps a CEO shouldn't be interfering in that stuff, but this company's my baby, so I guess it's inevitable.

But I also have to leave time to focus on where the company's going, not get so bogged down in detail that I lose sight of the big picture.

So could anyone become an entrepreneur?

My life's a culmination of all the stuff I used to do, booking punk rock bands, selling real estate, working in retail.

All that stuff helped me to create and develop the site.

Once you've got your vision, though, the real challenge is trusting yourself to pick the moment to go for it.

Then it takes a huge amount of humbleness not to step on the valuable support that surrounds you.

because without them you're nowhere.

Then it takes a huge amount of humbleness not to step on the valuable support that surrounds you, because without them, you're nowhere.

101

Now play the recording again.

102

That is the end of part one.

103

Now turn to part two.

104

You'll hear a woman called Mara Stiles telling a group of people about her holiday at an eco-camp in Patagonia.

105

For questions 7 to 14, complete the sentences with a word or short phrase.

106

In the exam, you have 45 seconds to look at part 2.

107

Thank you.

108

Hi, my name's Mara

109

and I'm just back from a holiday in South America where

110

I've been staying at a most wonderful place called Eco Camp Patagonia in the very south of Chile.

111

I really wanted to go to Patagonia and the National Park in particular.

112

It's somewhere unspoilt where you can really connect with the natural world.

113

I also believe in responsible tourism, in not making a negative impact on places you visit, and knew that I'd mean camping.

114

Some people find camping enjoyable.

115

I've even heard it described as invigorating.

116

That's not my memory of it.

117

For me, miserable is the adjective that comes to mind, so it was the aspect of the trip I was least looking forward to.

118

How wrong can you be?

119

Because Eco Camp Patagonia is no ordinary campsite.

120

It consists of a series of portable domes, each constructed in the same shape as the traditional huts built by the region's original inhabitants centuries ago.

121

But whereas they use skin and fur spread across branches, the modern domes use plastic to cover a metal frame.

122

The shape of the domes is similar to that of an igloo, testament to those people's instinctive engineering skills.

123

The shape helps keep those inside relatively warm in cold weather, and crucially makes the structure less susceptible to wind,

124

which reaches speeds exceeding 170 kilometres an hour in Patagonia.

125

and energy at the camp comes from 100% renewable sources, though at the moment this is mostly hydro and solar power.

126

56 guests can stay at the camp, but you'd never know it.

127

I had my own dome, and although you're part of a community taking meals in the dining tent, I was struck by the level of privacy.

128

I felt close to nature, but comfortable in my dome.

129

It had a real bed, and I could stand up straight, yet I couldn't hear my neighbours.

130

The meals were first-rate, however, beautifully prepared from local ingredients, and I enjoyed the sociability of meal times and the kindness of the staff.

131

Even more impressive was the bathroom dome, also shared with others.

132

As well as the normal facilities, there were really efficient showers.

133

Now that's a treat on this type of holiday, especially after a long day exploring the countryside.

134

The camp is moved each year in the winter, so that the actual ground doesn't become damaged.

135

When you walk from dome to dome, you're stepping on what's known as a boardwalk that stops visitors wearing out the grass.

136

And all rubbish is removed or organically composted.

137

It's a real model of sustainable, low-impact tourism.

138

Hikes came in three categories.

139

I knew I wasn't up to what were known as the hard hikes, and so opted for the medium ones instead.

140

These were quite challenging, but the alternative was the category called soft, an unfortunate description for anyone like me with a bit of pride.

141

But I had no real cause to regret my choice.

142

You really feel at one with nature, and there are endless photo opportunities.

143

I got some wonderful shots, including a fantastic sunset over a glacier, and one of the iceberg we came across one day, floating in a fjord.

144

That's the one I show everybody.

145

And of course, there are all the wildflower and bird species you could ever hope to see.

146

So before I go on to tell you about...

147

Now play the recording again.

183

184

That is the end of part two.

185

Now turn to part three.

186

You'll hear part of an interview in which two racing cyclists called Greg Martin

187

and Lena Derridge are talking about different sports they've taken part in.

188

For questions 15 to 20, choose the answer A, B, C or D, which fits best according to what you hear.

189

In the exam, you have 70 seconds to look at Part 3.

190

Thank you.

191

Thank you.

192

who have also taken part in other quite different sports.

193

Greg, let's start with you.

194

You were raised in Newfoundland, Canada, where most kids start off playing ice hockey, don't they?

195

That's right.

196

My dad was a big ice hockey fan, so I think I'd learned how to skate before I could walk.

197

Up until senior high school, hockey's the sport, and then there's a choice to make, whether you're good enough to go to the juniors or not.

198

Maybe if I'd had a stronger training discipline, I would have made it.

199

It wasn't my dad's fault.

200

but I think you've got to have really solid parental support, where you're forced to practice because when you're 16, you don't have the willpower you have at 30.

201

I have no regrets, but I look back and think, why wasn't I training?

202

I just played games.

203

But that's how it was.

204

So you moved over to rowing?

205

I remember as a teenager, the economy being really bad in my home area.

206

And I thought to myself, either I get a degree or get myself a sporting career.

207

Otherwise, I'll never get out of here.

208

So I took a two-pronged approach.

209

After ice hockey, I ran cross-country with moderate success.

210

And guys I met there put me on to rowing.

211

And I was pretty good at it, because I was a little more heavily built than people coming from a running background.

212

In ice hockey, we did a lot of weight training.

213

And I just took to rowing and said, Okay, national team, here we come.

214

So, while I was doing my degree in electrical engineering, I just kept rowing, and, in the end, both of them got me out of there.

215

And Lena, you've also done competitive rowing.

216

How did your competitive rowing career develop?

217

It was kind of weird.

218

Rowing's such a team sport that you really need to go to things called training camps.

219

But I was working full-time at a computer company, so I couldn't often make them.

220

I had to train myself, which was fair enough, and I don't think it was that which held me back.

221

But when it came to the trials for the national team, if it was a four-woman boat, I had to come in the top four in the trials to get in the team.

222

If I was fifth, I would be the cut line, right?

223

And I regularly got fifth when they were making a four, or third when they were making a double.

224

It was just bad luck, really.

225

So near and yet so far.

226

Then one year, when I actually made it into the team, we didn't actually qualify for the World Championships.

227

That was kind of tough.

228

Is that why you decided to move to California?

229

Well, although it coincided with my realising I'd gone as far as I could go in rowing, it wasn't the reason for the move.

230

I'm not a quitter, but I needed a new outlet, something else to direct my energies into.

231

For me, sport rather than work had always provided that, but I was quite happy working in computers.

232

Then my manager and a couple of other workers left and went to California.

233

They were already keen cyclists, by the way.

234

I was in two minds whether to join them, and after about six months of arm-twisting, decided to make the leap.

235

It was a combination of factors that made me go, but it was a good move.

236

From there, getting into the cycling just kind of happened.

237

It hadn't been part of the plan.

238

And do they have much in common, rowing and cycling?

239

Well, rowing's a tough sport, which helps me.

240

And a couple of other teammates who've switched over from rowing agree.

241

A lot of the newbies in the sport, who don't have my rowing background, lack the willingness to put up with what I call the full-on suffer.

242

Like, say it's on a ten-minute climb.

243

The damage doesn't happen immediately.

244

It comes at the eight-minute point.

245

As a cyclist, you need to commit at some point in the race.

246

You need to throw yourself out into the wind and just go for it, no matter how much it hurts.

247

You don't get that so much in rowing.

248

You're thinking much more as a team.

249

And are there parallels in the training, too?

250

Yeah.

251

I actually supplement my cycling training with a little rowing.

252

I fell in love with the sport originally, not really from a competition point of view, just from the feeling of it.

253

I think cycling's one of these sports where it's just so focused on a certain group of muscles that, if that's all you do, it's only a matter of time before you're going to have problems.

254

What's more, as a cyclist, you develop very little upper body muscle, so you don't have a lot of protection if you come off and hit the ground.

255

So I run and row as cross-training as much as I can, and I'd advise other cyclists to do the same.

256

I'd go along with that.

257

But another thing you can do that's really...

258

Now play the recording again.

259

My guests today are Greg Martin and Lena Derridge, both long-distance racing cyclists, who have also taken part in other quite different sports.

260

Greg, let's start with you.

326

Now play the recording again.

327

That is the end of Part 3.

328

Now turn to Part 4.

329

Part 4 consists of two tasks.

330

You'll hear five short extracts in which actors are talking about performing in live theatre productions.

331

Look at Task 1.

332

For questions 21 to 25, choose from the list A to H what each speaker usually does before a performance.

333

Now look at Task 2.

334

For questions 26 to 30, choose from the list A to H what each speaker says went wrong on a recent production.

335

While you listen, you must complete both tasks.

336

In the exam, you have 45 seconds to look at part 4.

337

Thank you.

338

Speaker 1 Before actors go on stage, they tend to walk around rehearsing their lines,

339

doing voice exercises, or go on before the audience arrives to do general warm-ups.

340

I always spend time in my dressing room looking at two drawings that were given to me as gifts.

341

They keep me grounded because they remind me of a holiday I had.

342

There's an even greater buzz on opening night, of course.

343

On my last one I came down with a sore throat and I was worried whether I'd have enough voice.

344

So I concentrated on resting during the day.

345

Apparently the audience could hear me okay, but it was touch and go.

346

Speaker 2 I guess everyone has their own way of preparing.

347

I always ask the more experienced actors if I can warm up with them, and they've taught me loads of stretches and things, really makes you more supple and able to cope.

348

However, last week, my attention must have wandered for a split second during the performance, and I missed my cue.

349

So I came out with a line I was supposed to say later.

350

I was mortified, and the director was a bit annoyed.

351

But I'm not sure if the audience even noticed, which was kind of disappointing.

352

Luckily, though, there weren't too many people there that night.

353

Speaker 3 The cast are always very supportive, which is wonderful.

354

You feel part of a team.

355

Loads of fresh flowers start arriving from the audience before the performance, and I'll usually pop into dressing rooms putting little notes or candy on people's tables.

356

It helps us all to bond, I think.

357

The worst night, of course, is when the press come.

358

Everyone's on edge then, and for this production, what they wrote initially wasn't that complimentary.

359

It really affected my performance one night.

360

I should never have read the stuff.

361

Anyway, at least the audience still seemed to be loving it they've clearly got taste.

362

Speaker 4 In my first scene, I actually go down from the stage to walk amongst the audience and talk to them.

363

It's a great way to start feeling comfortable.

364

One night, though, I must have been looking at them and not where I was going.

365

I missed a step and stumbled on the way down.

366

It really spoilt my grand entrance.

367

Luckily, it's meant to be a comedy.

368

But some of the laughs we get rely entirely on the props on stage, so although the stage manager is brilliant at all that, I still find myself walking up to have a look prior to curtain up.

369

Silly, really.

370

I'm making work for myself.

371

Speaker 5 Although the play I mean is a comedy, you can't guarantee that people will laugh, but then they'll laugh at the weirdest things.

372

I'm always worried the noise will hold up the play.

373

Yesterday was during a really sad bit, but then the actor looked around and saw a pigeon standing right behind him.

374

It's an open-air theatre, so they constantly come in.

375

I notice, though, as we move from rehearsals to press night, when reviews are imminent, that my preparations take longer.

376

But there's a particular place I go in the courtyard where I can just catch the breeze.

377

It really clears my head.

378

After that, I'm ready for anything.

379

Now play the recording again.

380

Speaker 1 Before actors go on stage, they tend to walk around rehearsing their lines,

381

doing voice exercises, or go on before the audience arrives to do general warm-ups.

382

I always spend time in my dressing room looking at two drawings that were given to me as gifts.

383

They keep me grounded because they remind me of a holiday I had.

384

There's an even greater buzz on opening night, of course.

385

On my last one I came down with a sore throat and I was worried whether I'd have enough voice.

386

So I concentrated on resting during the day.

387

Apparently the audience could hear me okay, but it was touch and go.

388

Speaker 2 I guess everyone has their own way of preparing.

389

I always ask the more experienced actors if I can warm up with them, and they've taught me loads of stretches and things, really makes you more supple and able to cope.

390

However, last week, my attention must have wandered for a split second during the performance, and I missed my cue.

391

So I came out with a line I was supposed to say later.

392

I was mortified, and the director was a bit annoyed, but I'm not sure if the audience even noticed, which was kind of disappointing.

393

Luckily, though, there weren't too many people there that night.

394

Speaker 3 The cast are always very supportive, which is wonderful.

395

You feel part of a team.

396

Loads of fresh flowers start arriving from the audience before the performance, and I'll usually pop into dressing rooms putting little notes or candy on people's tables.

397

It helps us all to bond, I think.

398

399

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
