90
You have 10 seconds.
91
You will hear a museum guide talking to a group of students.
92
Welcome to the Museum of the Natural World.
93
I know most of you are interested in the new dinosaur exhibition, so I will take you there first.
94
The tour will take one hour.
95
Afterwards, you can look at the rainforest and the countryside exhibitions by yourselves.
96
Don't forget that your coach leaves at 11am.
97
So you have three hours in total for your visit.
98
There are guidebooks for sale at the information desk.
99
Please remember you cannot take photographs in the museum.
100
Of course, you may write down information in your notebooks if you like.
101
Next year, we will have a new exhibition on technology and the natural world.
102
We were hoping to have it ready by March 13th.
103
Unfortunately, it will now open a month later on April 12th, a week before the school holidays, which start on April 20th.
104
We hope you will visit us again.
105
When you leave the museum today, please remember to collect your coats from the entrance hall.
106
Enjoy your visit.
107
Now listen again.
108

109

110

122
Part 3 For each question, choose the correct answer.
123
Look at questions 11 to 15 now.
124
You have 20 seconds.
125
You will hear Alan talking to his mum about a new teacher at school.
126
We've got a new teacher for maths, mum.
127
I hope he'll be better than the last one.
128
But mum, he was so popular.
129
I'm not surprised.
130
Teachers who forget to ask their students to do their homework are always popular.
131
But my grades were good last term.
132
That's because you always study hard.
133
I suppose so.
134
Anyway, do you like your new teacher?
135
He seems nice, but I don't always understand when he explains things in class.
136
Maybe maths is more difficult this term.
137
Yes, it is.
138
But I think our teacher is the problem.
139
Why?
140
He spends a lot of time explaining things, but he just speaks too fast.
141
Why doesn't someone tell him that?
142
He's new, and the other students are afraid to say anything.
143
If you like, I can say something.
144
But not to him, right?
145
No, to the head teacher.
146
Do you really think that's a good idea?
147
Yes.
148
That way he'll know there's a problem.
149
Why don't we leave it a week or two?
150
How will that help?
151
Maybe he's afraid because he's still new.
152
That could explain why he speaks so fast.
153
You may be right.
154
If things don't improve after two weeks, I'll go and talk to the head teacher.
155
Okay then, Mum.
156
Now listen again.
157
We've got a new teacher for maths, Mum.
158
I hope he'll be better than the last one.
159
But Mum, he was so popular.
160
I'm not surprised.
161
Teachers who forget to ask their students to do their homework are always popular.
162
But my grades were good last term.
163
That's because you always study hard.
164
I suppose so.
165

166
He seems nice, but I don't always understand when he explains things in class.
167
Maybe maths is more difficult this term.
168
Yes, it is.
169
But I think our teacher is the problem.
170
Why?
171
He spends a lot of time explaining things, but he just speaks too fast.
172
Why doesn't someone tell him that?
173
He's new, and the other students are afraid to say anything.
174
If you like, I can say something.
175
But not to him, right?
176
No, to the head teacher.
177

Yes, that way he'll know there's a problem.
179
Why don't we leave it a week or two?
180
How will that help?
181
Maybe he's afraid because he's still new.
182
That could explain why he speaks so fast.
183
You may be right.
184
If things don't improve after two weeks, I'll go and talk to the head teacher.
185
Okay then, Mum.
186
Part 4 For each question, choose the correct answer.
187
16. You will hear a mum talking to her son.
188
Where were they a few minutes ago?
189
Have you got everything you need from the supermarket, Gary?
190
Yes, mum.
191
I didn't get the chocolate cake, however.
192
It's too expensive, isn't it?
193
Yes, but it's still popular.
194
There was none left on the shelf.
195
Never mind.
196
I'm sure you have some at home.
197
We just left the place.
198
We haven't got time now to go somewhere else.
199
Yes, I know.
200
You need to collect my sister from school.
201

216
Are you going to football practice, Harry?
217
No, I can't today.
218
Why?
219
Are you busy doing this new school project?
220
You know me, I only study when I have to.
221
So, where are you going? To Bob's house.
222
I think I left my sports kit there, so I have to find it first.
223
If I don't, at least we'll play some computer games at the internet cafe.
224
Now listen again.
225
Are you going to football practice, Harry?
226
No, I can't today.
227
Why?

Eighteen.

Why doesn't the woman want the ring?
237
What a beautiful ring.
238
But I'm sure it's expensive, Bob.
239
I'll buy it for you, Mary.
240
Thank you, but I don't think it's a good idea.
241
Why not?
242
I do a lot of washing up every day.
243
Take off your ring before you put on your washing up gloves.
244
That way it will always be nice.
245
But I'm afraid that way I'll lose it.
246
Okay then, how about a necklace?
247
Now listen again.
248
What a beautiful ring!
249
But I'm sure it's expensive, Bob.
250
I'll buy it for you, Mary.

Why not?
253
I do a lot of washing up every day.
254
Take off your ring before you put on your washing up gloves.

258
19. You will hear a girl talking about her plans for the next month.
259
Why can't she go to the school party?

Sorry, Abdul, but I can't come to the school party next month.
261
I know it'll be fun, but if I have a late night, I won't be able to wake up early the next day.
262
I know that we don't need to go to school because the holiday starts then, but my parents have booked a flight to Paris for the whole family.
263
It isn't an early flight, but the bus to the airport leaves really early.
264

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。
