Criando lição...
1
You will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what you hear.
2
There will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance to check your work.
3
All the recordings will be played once only.
4
The test is in four sections.
5
At the end of the test, you will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet.
6
Now turn to section one.
7
Section one.
8
You will hear a telephone conversation between an official at a village hall
9
and a woman who wants to hire a public room.
10
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 6.
11
You will see that there is an example that has been done for you.
12
On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first.
13
Hello.
14
Oh, hello.
15
I wanted to inquire about hiring a room in the village
16
hall for the evening of September the 1st. Let me just see.
17
Yes, we have both rooms available that evening.
18
There's our main hall that's got seating for 200 people.
19
Or there's the Charlton room.
20
The main hall seats 200, so 200 has been written in the space.
21
Now we shall begin.
22
You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time.
23
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 6.
24
Hello?
25
Oh, hello.
26
I wanted to enquire about hiring a room in the village
27
hall for the evening of September the 1st. Let me just see...
28
Yes, we have both rooms available that evening.
29
There's our main hall that's got seating for two hundred people.
30
Or there's the Charlton room.
31
Sorry?
32
The Charlton Room.
33
C-H-A-R-L-T-O-N.
34
That's got seating for up to one hundred.
35
Well, we're organising a dinner to raise money for a charity, and we're hoping for at least a hundred and fifty people.
36
So, I think we'll go for the main hall.
37
How much would that cost?
38
Let's see.. you wanted it for the evening of September the 1st?
39
Yes, that's a Saturday.
40
So, from 6pm to midnight, that'd be £115.
41
That's the weekend price.
42
It's £75 on weekdays.
43
That's all right.
44
And I have to tell you there's also a deposit of £250, which is returnable, of course, course, as long as there's no damage.
45
But we do insist that this is paid in cash.
46
We don't take cards for that.
47
You can pay the actual rent of the room however you like, though.
48
Cash, credit card, cheque.
49
Oh, well, I suppose that's OK.
50
So, does the charge include use of tables and chairs and so on?
51
Oh, yes.
52
And what about parking?
53
Yeah, that's That's all included.
54
The only thing that isn't included is.. you said you were organising a dinner?
55
Yeah.
56
Well, you'll have to pay extra for the kitchen if you want to use that.
57
It's £25.
58
It's got very good facilities, good quality cookers and fridges and so on.
59
OK.
60
Well, I suppose that's all right.
61
We can cover the cost in our entry charges.
62
Right, so I'll make a note of that.
63
Now, there are just one or two things you need to think about before the event.
64
For example, you'll have to see about getting a licence if you're planning to have any music during the meal.
65
Oh, really?
66
It's quite straightforward.
67
I'll give you the details later on.
68
And about a week or ten days before your event, you'll need to contact the caretaker,
69
that's Mr Evans, to make the arrangements for entry.
70
He'll sort that out with you.
71
And do I give him the payment as well?
72
No, you do that directly with me.
73
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions seven to ten.
74
Now listen and answer questions 7 to 10.
75
Right.
76
Now, is there anything I need to know about what happens during the event?
77
Well, as you'll be aware, of course, the building is no smoking throughout. Of course.
78
Now, are you having a band?
79
Yes.
80
Well, they'll have a lot of equipment, so rather than using the front door, they should park their van round the back and use the stage door there.
81
You can open that from inside, but don't forget to lock it at the end.
82
OK.
83
And talking of bans, I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but you must make sure that no one fiddles about with the black box by the fire door.
84
That's a system that cuts in when the volume reaches a certain level.
85
It's a legal requirement.
86
Sure.
87
Anyway, we want people to be able to talk to one another, so we don't want anything too loud.
88
Oh, that reminds me, we'll be having speeches.
89
Are there any microphones available?
90
Yep, just let the caretaker know, he'll get those for you.
91
Right, now when the event is over, we do ask that the premises are left in good condition.
92
So there's a locked cupboard and you'll be informed of the code you need to open that.
93
It's got all the cleaning equipment, brushes and detergent and so on.
94
Right.
95
So what do we need to do after everyone's gone?
96
Sweep the floors, I suppose?
97
Well, actually they have to be washed, not just swept.
98
Then you'll be provided with black plastic bags, so all the rubbish must be collected up and left outside the door. Of course.
99
We'll make sure everything's left tidy.
100
Oh, and I forgot to ask, I presume we can have decorations in the room?
101
Yes, but you must take them down afterwards.
102
Sure.
103
And the chairs and tables should be stacked up neatly at the back of the room.
104
I'll make sure I've got a few people to help me.
105
That is the end of section one.
106
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
107
Now turn to section 2.
108
Section 2.
109
You will hear a guide talking to a group of visitors to a farm.
110
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
111
Listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.
112
Welcome to the Fiddy Working Heritage Farm.
113
This open-air museum gives you the experience of agriculture
114
and rural life in the English countryside at the end of the 19th century.
115
So you'll see a typical farm of that period, and like me, all the staff are dressed in clothes of that time.
116
I must give you some advice and safety tips before we go any further.
117
As it's a working farm, please don't frighten or injure the animals.
118
We have a lot here, and many of them are breeds that are now quite rare.
119
And do stay at a safe distance from the tools.
120
Some of them have sharp points, which can be pretty dangerous, so please don't touch them.
121
We don't want any accidents, do we?
122
The ground is very uneven, and you might slip if you're wearing sandals, so I'm glad to see you're all wearing shoes.
123
We always advise people to do that.
124
Now children of all ages are very welcome here, and usually even very young children love the ducks and lambs,
125
so do bring them along next time you come.
126
I don't think any of you have brought dogs with you, but in case you have,
127
I'm afraid they'll have to stay in the car park unless they're guide dogs.
128
I'm sure you'll understand that they could cause a lot of problems on a farm.
129
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
130
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
131
Now let me give you some idea of the layout of the farm.
132
The building where you bought your tickets is the new barn immediately to your right, and we're now at the beginning of the main path to the farmland,
133
and of course the car park is on your left.
134
The scarecrow you can see in the car park in the
135
corner beside the main path is a traditional figure for keeping the birds away from crops.
136
But our scarecrow is a permanent sculpture.
137
It's taller than a human being so you can see it from quite a distance.
138
If you look ahead of you you'll see a maze.
139
It's opposite the new barn beside the side path that branches off to the right just over there.
140
The maze is made out of hedges which are too tall for young children to see over them, but it's quite small so you can't get lost in it.
141
Now can you see the bridge crossing the fish pool further up the main path?
142
If you want to go to the cafe, go towards the bridge and turn right just before it.
143
Walk along the side path and the cafes on the first bend you come to.
144
The building was originally the schoolhouse and it's well over a hundred years old.
145
As you may know, we run skills workshops here where you can learn traditional crafts like woodwork and basket making.
146
You can see examples of the work and talk to someone about the courses in the black barn.
147
If you take the side path to the right here just by the new barn, you'll come to the black barn just where the path first bends.
148
Now, I mustn't forget to tell you about picnicking, as I can see some of you have brought your lunch with you.
149
You can picnic in the field, though do clear up behind you, of course.
150
Or if you'd prefer a covered picnic area, there's one near the farmyard, just after you cross the bridge.
151
There's a covered picnic spot on the right.
152
And the last thing to mention is Fiddy House itself.
153
From here you can cross the bridge, then walk along the footpath through the field to the left of the farmyard.
154
That goes to the house, and it'll give you a lovely view of it.
155
It's certainly worth a few photographs, but as it's a private home, I'm afraid you can't go inside.
156
Right.
157
Well, if you're all ready, we'll set off on our tour of the farm.
158
That is the end of section two.
159
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
160
Thank you.
161
Section 3.
162
You will hear two psychology students called Lisa and Greg discussing a project they have to do.
163
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 27.
164
Thank you.
165
OK Greg, so I finally managed to read the article you mentioned, the one about the study on gender in physics.
166
About the study of college students done by Akira Miyake and his team.
167
Yeah, I was interested that the researchers were actually a mix of psychologists and physicists.
168
That's an unusual combination.
169
Yeah.
170
I got a little confused at first about which students the study was based on.
171
They weren't actually majoring in physics.
172
They were majoring in what's known as the STEM disciplines.
173
That's science, technology, engineering and... And math.
174
Yes, but they were all doing physics courses as part of their studies.
175
That's correct.
176
So, as I understood it, Miyake and co started from the fact that women are underrepresented in introductory physics courses at college,
177
and also that, on average, the women who do enrol on these courses perform more poorly than the men.
178
No one really knows why this is the case.
179
Yeah, but what the researchers wanted to find out was basically what
180
they could do about the relatively low level of the women's results, but in order to find a solution they needed to find out more about the nature of the problem.
181
Right.
182
Now, let's see if I can remember.
183
It was that in the physics class the female students thought the male students all assumed
184
that women weren't any good at physics.
185
Was that it?
186
And they thought that the men expected them to get poor results in their tests.
187
That's what the women thought, and that made them nervous.
188
So they did get poor results.
189
But actually, they were wrong.
190
No one was making any assumptions about the female students at all.
191
Anyway, what Miyake's team did was quite simple.
192
Getting the students to do some writing before they went into the physics class.
193
What did they call it?
194
Values affirmation.
195
They had to write an essay focusing on things that were significant to them, not particularly to do with the subject they were studying,
196
but more general things like music or people who mattered to them.
197
Right.
198
So the idea of doing the writing is that this gets the students thinking in a positive way.
199
And putting these thoughts into words can relax them and help them overcome the psychological factors that lead to poor performance, yeah.
200
But what the researchers in the study hadn't expected was
201
that this one activity raised the women's physics grades from the C to the B range.
202
A huge change.
203
Pity it wasn't to an A, but still.
204
No, but it does suggest that the women were seriously underperforming beforehand in comparison with the men.
205
Yes.
206
Mind you, Miyake's article left out a lot of details, like did the students do the writing just once or several times,
207
and had they been told why they were doing the writing, that might have affected the results.
208
You mean, if they know the researchers thought it might help them to improve, then they'd just try to fulfill that expectation?
209
Exactly.
210
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 28 to 30.
211
Now listen and answer questions 28 to 30.
212
So anyway, I thought for our project we could do a similar study, but investigate whether it really was the writing activity that had that result.
213
OK.
214
So we could ask them to do a writing task about something completely different,
215
something more factual, like a general knowledge topic.
216
Maybe.
217
Or we could have half the students doing a writing task and half doing something else, like an oral task.
218
Or even half do the same writing task as in the original research and half do a factual writing task.
219
Then we'd see if it really is the topic that made the difference or something else.
220
That's it.
221
Good.
222
So, at our meeting with the supervisor on Monday, we can tell him we've decided on our project.
223
We should have our aims ready by then.
224
I suppose we need to read the original study.
225
The article's just a summary.
226
And there was another article I read, by Smolinski.
227
It was about her research on how women and men perform in mixed teams in class, compared with single-sex teams and on their own.
228
Let me guess, the women were better at teamwork.
229
That's what I expected.
230
But actually, the men and the women got the same results whether they were working in teams or on their own.
231
But I guess it's not that relevant to us.
232
What worries me anyway is how we're going to get everything done in the time.
233
We'll be OK now we know what we're doing.
234
Though I'm not clear how we assess whether the students in our experiment actually make any progress or not.
235
No, we may need some advice on that.
236
The main thing's to make sure we have the right size sample, not too big or too small.
237
That shouldn't be difficult.
238
Right, what do we need to do next?
239
We could have a look at the timetable for the science classes, or perhaps we should just make an appointment to see one of the science professors.
240
That'd be better.
241
Great.
242
And we could even get to observe one of the classes.
243
What for?
244
Well, OK, maybe let's just go with your idea.
245
Right, well, I think that's everything for now.
246
That is the end of Section 3.
247
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
248
The Now
249
turn to section 4.
250
Section 4.
251
You will hear part of a student presentation about the variety of different species that live in the world's oceans.
252
They've been surveying.
253
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
254
Thank you.
255
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
256
I've been looking at ocean biodiversity, that's the diversity of species that live in the world's oceans.
257
About 20 years ago, biologists developed the idea of what they called biodiversity hotspots.
258
These are the areas which have the greatest mixture of species.
259
So, one example is Madagascar.
260
These hotspots are significant because they allow us to locate key areas for focusing efforts at conservation.
261
Biologists can identify hotspots on land fairly easily,
262
but until recently, very little was known about species distribution and diversity in the oceans,
263
and no one even knew if hotspots existed there.
264
Then a Canadian biologist called Boris Worm did some research in 2005 on data on ocean species
265
that he got from the fishing industry.
266
Worm located five hotspots for large ocean predators, like sharks, and looked at what they had in common.
267
The main thing he'd expected to find was that they had very high concentrations of food,
268
but to his surprise that was only true for four of the hotspots.
269
The remaining hotspot was quite badly off in that regard,
270
but what he did find was that in all cases the water at the surface of the ocean had relatively high temperatures,
271
even when it was cool at greater depths.
272
So this seemed to be a factor in supporting a diverse range of these large predators.
273
However, this wasn't enough on its own because he also found that the water needed to have enough oxygen in it.
274
So these two factors seemed necessary to support the high metabolic rate of these large fish.
275
A couple of years later, in 2007, a researcher called Lisa Balance, who was working in California,
276
also started looking for ocean hotspots, but not for fish.
277
What she was interested in was marine mammals, things like seals, and she found three places in the oceans which were hotspots,
278
and what these had in common was
279
that these hotspots were all located at boundaries between ocean currents
280
and this seems to be the sort of place
281
that has lots of the plankton that some of these species feed on
282
so now people who want to protect the species
283
that are endangered need to get as much information as possible
284
for example there's an international project called the census of marine life oceans all over the world including the Arctic.
285
One thing they found there which stunned other researchers was that there were large numbers of species which live below the ice,
286
sometimes under a layer up to 20 metres thick.
287
Some of these species had never been seen before.
288
They've even found species of octopus living in these conditions.
289
And other scientists working on the same project but researching very different habitats on the ocean floor,
290
have found large numbers of species congregating around volcanoes, attracted to them by the warmth and nutrients there.
291
However, biologists still don't know how serious the threat to their survival is for each individual species.
292
So, a body called the Global Marine Species Assessment is now creating a list of endangered species on land,
293
so they consider things like the size of the population, how many members of one species there are in a particular place,
294
and then they look at their distribution in geographical terms, although this is quite difficult when you're looking at fish because they're so mobile,
295
and then thirdly they calculate the rate at which the decline of the species is happening
296
so far only 1500 species have been assessed
297
but they want to increase this figure to 20,000 for each
298
one they assess they use the data they collect on
299
that species to produce a map showing its distribution ultimately they
300
will be able to use these to figure out not only where most species are located
301
but also where they are most threatened
302
so finally what can be done to retain the diversity of
303
species in the world's oceans firstly we need to set up
304
more reserves in our oceans places where marine species are protected we have some
305
but not enough in addition to preserve species such as leatherback turtles
306
which live out in the high seas
307
but have their nesting sites on the american coast we need to create corridors for migration
308
so they can get from one area to another safely as
309
well as this action needs to be taken to lower the
310
levels of fishing quotas to prevent overfishing of endangered species and finally there's the problem of bycatch
311
This refers to the catching of unwanted fish by fishing boats.
312
They're returned to the sea, but they're often dead or dying.
313
If these commercial fishing boats used equipment which was more selective so that only the fish wanted for consumption were caught,
314
this problem could be overcome.
315
OK, so does anyone have any questions about...
316
That is the end of section 4.

- Os sons de “th”: thick /θɪk/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, threaten /ˈθɹɛt.n̩/, warmth /wɔɹmθ/, footpath /ˈfʊtˌpæθ/
- Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: sharp /ʃɑɹp/, wash /wɑʃ/, unusual /ʌnˈjuːʒ(u)əl/, sheet /ʃit/, occasion /əˈkeɪ̯ʒən/
- Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: diversity /daɪˈvɜː(ɹ)sɪti/, unusual /ʌnˈjuːʒ(u)əl/, experiment /ɪkˈspɛɹ.ə.mənt/, agriculture /ˈæɡ.ɹɪˌkʌl.t͡ʃɚ/, conservation /ˌkɑnsə(ɹ)ˈveɪʃən/
Como praticar com este vídeo
- Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.
- Faça shadowing frase por frase na velocidade normal, repetindo cada uma até o seu ritmo ficar igual ao do falante.
- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como physics, researcher, barn.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
