1
Now open your question paper and look at Part 1.
2
You'll hear three different extracts.
3
For questions 1 to 6, choose the answer, A, B or C, which fits best according to what you hear.
4
There are two questions for each extract.
5
Extract 1.
6
You overhear part of a conversation between the secretary of a golf club and a visitor to the club.
7
Now look at questions one and two.
8
Sorry to be late.
9
This club's a bit off the beaten track, isn't it?
10
Thought I'd never find it.
11
You don't have an in -car satellite navigation system, then?
12
A sat -nav?
13
No, I don't though I suppose I should invest in one.
14
I often have this sort of trouble.
15
Getting to a town's a piece of cake, but after that, well, it's not so much the cost.
16
My friends all have them and tell me the price is going down all the time.
17
But electronic gadgets aren't my favourite things.
18
Fine when they work, nightmare when they don't.
19
A little black box could hardly have been less useful than my map today, though.
20
I wouldn't be without mine now.
21
I won't try and blind you with science, but I do know quite a bit about satellites.
22
The technology is amazing.
23
Position can be pinpointed to within a metre.
24
Of course, accuracy is down to the mapping companies who do the updating work, but new models come out all the time.
25
It's entirely up to you, of course, but imagine never having to ask for directions again.
26
That'll be good.
27
I'll certainly give it some thought.
28
Now you'll hear the recording again.
29
Sorry to be late.
30

31

35

36

37
Getting to a town's a piece of cake, but after that...
38
Well, it's not so much the cost.
39
My friends all have them and tell me the price is going down all the time.
40
But electronic gadgets aren't my favourite things.
41
Fine when they work.
42
Nightmare when they don't.

That'll be good.
51

52
Extract 2 You hear part of a discussion in
53
which the anthropologist Paula Drew and the comedian Mike Morton are talking about their lives.
54
Now look at questions 3 and 4.
55
We both grew up in a fairly rough part of the city, Mike, so I'm assuming you used comedy to keep yourself safe and popular in the long run.
56
Well, in school, as you know, if you could run fast or make people laugh, you had a very good chance of surviving and emerging unscathed.
57
I wasn't a fast runner, so I exploited comedy to avoid unwelcome attention.
58
It seemed to come easy and it worked.
59
Your type of comedy is less spontaneous than reflective.
60
You see things from your own point of view, don't you, and create a world for other people to see, whereas I explore the world that's already there, which most people don't see.
61
Don't you think that the key to achieving what you want in life is the realisation
62
that it's going to be tough and the sheer persistence that gets you there in the end?
63
What you have to have is massive self -confidence.
64
With that, you can do anything.
65
And being specific about what it is you want to do.
66
Oh well, that goes without saying.
67
Now you'll hear the recording again.
68

80
Extract 3 You hear part of a radio discussion about holiday reading.
81
Now look at questions 5 and 6.
82
If you're English, a nice, sad 19th century romance is very useful if you're on holiday and you get attacked by homesickness,
83
because it conjures up dripping English autumn days perfectly.
84
I always take something by this chap who's written a number of books about the criminal underworld of Boston,
85
Massachusetts, which is hardly culturally or geographically a place that I know, but I find it fascinating.
86
There's no doubt about it.
87
If you compile, as I do, dictionaries of slang for a living, one is drawn inevitably not, alas, to the great classics,
88
who are on the whole rather light on slang, but to someone like this fellow, who has this amazing ability,
89
far beyond quoting, of writing 20 or 40 pages of dialogue in almost incomprehensible slang,
90
which I have the most wonderful time going through.
91
I find it very alluring.
92
Now you'll hear the recording again.

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係しているhave been
関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加えるMassachusetts, which is · Massachusetts which is

注意したい発音

話し手はdon't, you'll, you'reなど、短縮形や弱形を38回使っています。聞こえたとおりの短い形で発音しましょう。

  • 「th」の音: unscathed /ʌnˈskeɪðd/, anthropologist /ˌæn.θɹoʊˈpɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/
  • 「sh」と「zh」の音: navigation /nævɪˈɡeɪʃən/, dictionary /ˈdɪk.ʃəˌnɛ.ɹi/, sheer /ʃɪɚ/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/

日本語話者が苦手な音:

  • /r/ と /l/ の区別 — /l/ は舌先を歯茎につけ、/r/ はどこにもつけない: explore /ɪkˈsploɹ/, realization /ˌɹɪə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, reflective /ɹɪˈflɛktɪv/, incomprehensible /ɪnˌkɑmpɹəˈhɛnsɪb(ə)l/, anthropologist /ˌæn.θɹoʊˈpɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/

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。
