Cambridge 17 Listening Test 1.

You will hear a number of different recordings.

All the recordings will be played once only.

The test is in four parts.

You will have 10 minutes at the end of the test to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.

Now turn to Part 1.

First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.

Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.

Hello?

Oh, hello.

My name's Jan.

Are you the right person to talk to about the Buckworth Conservation Group?

Yes, I'm Peter.

I'm the secretary.

Good.

I've just moved to this area and I'm interested in getting involved.

I was in a similar group where I used to live.

Could you tell me something about your activities, please? Of course.

Well, we have a mixture of regular activities and special events.

One of the regular ones is trying to keep the beach free of litter.

A few of us spend a couple of hours a month on it, and it's awful how much there is to clear.

I wish people would be more responsible and take it home with them.

I totally agree.

I'd be happy to help with that.

Is it OK to take dogs?

I'm afraid not, as they're banned from the beach itself.

You can take them along the cliffs, though, and children are welcome.

Right.

We also manage a nature reserve, and there's a lot to do there all year round.

For example, because it's a popular place to visit, we spend a lot of time looking after the paths and making sure they're in good condition for walking.

I could certainly help with that.

Good.

And we have a programme of creating new habitats there.

We've just finished making and installing nesting boxes for birds to use, and next we're going to work on encouraging insects.

They're important for the biodiversity of the reserve.

They certainly are.

Oh, and we're also running a project to identify the different species of butterflies that visit the reserve.

You might be interested in taking part in that.

Sure.

I was involved in something similar where I used to live, counting all the species of moths.

I'd enjoy that.

Another job we're doing at the reserve is replacing the wall on the southern side, between the parking area and our woodshed.

It was badly damaged in a storm last month.

Okay.

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.

Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.

Then, as I said, we have a program of events as well, both at the weekend and during the week.

Right.

I presume you have guided walks.

I'd like to get to know the local countryside as I'm new to the area.

Yes, we do.

The next walk is to Ruston Island a week on Saturday.

We'll be meeting in the car park at Dunsmore Beach at low tide.

That's when the sands are dry enough for us to walk to the island without getting wet.

Sounds good.

The island's a great place to explore.

It's quite small and it's got a range of habitats.

It's also an ideal location for seeing seals just off the coast or even on the beach.

OK.

And is there anything we should bring?

Like a picnic, for instance?

Yes, do bring one, as it's a full-day walk.

And of course, it'll be wet walking across and back, so make sure your boots are waterproof.

I must buy a new pair.

There's a hole in one of my current ones.

Well, I'd definitely like to come on the walk.

Great.

Then later this month we're having a one-day woodwork session in Hopton Wood.

I've never tried that before.

Is it OK for beginners to take part?

Definitely.

There'll be a couple of experts leading the session, and we keep the number of participants down so you'll get as much help as you need.

Excellent.

I'd love to be able to make chairs.

That's probably too ambitious for one day.

You'll be starting with wooden spoons and, of course, learning how to use the tools.

And anything you make is yours to take home with you.

That sounds like fun.

When is it?

It's on the 17th from 10am until 3.

There's a charge of £35, including lunch, or £40 if you want to camp in the wood.

I should think I'll come home the same day.

Well, I'd certainly like to join the group.

That is the end of part one.

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

Now turn to part two.

First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.

Now listen and answer questions 11 to 14.

So hello everyone, my name's Lou Miller and I'm going to be your tour guide today,

as we take this fantastic boat trip around the Tasmanian coast.

Before we set off, I just want to tell you a few things about our journey.

Our boats aren't huge, as you can see.

We already have three staff members on board, and on top of that, we can transport a further fifteen people,

that's you, around the coastline.

But please note, if there are more than nine people on either side of the boat, we'll move some of you over,

otherwise all eighteen of us will end up in the sea.

We've recently upgraded all our boats.

They used to be jet black, but our new ones now have these comfortable dark red seats and a light green exterior

in order to stand out from others and help promote our company.

100

This gives our boats a rather unique appearance, don't you think?

101

We offer you a free lunchbox during the trip, and we have three types.

102

Lunchbox 1 contains ham and tomato sandwiches.

103

Lunchbox 2 contains a cheddar cheese roll.

104

And Lunchbox 3 is salad-based and also contains eggs and tuna.

105

All three lunchboxes also have a packet of crisps and chocolate bar inside.

106

Please let staff know which lunchbox you prefer.

107

I'm sure I don't have to ask you not to throw anything into the sea.

108

We don't have any bins to put litter in, but Jess, myself, or Ray,

109

our other guide, will collect it from you after lunch and put it all in a large plastic sack.

110

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.

111

Thank you.

112

The engine on the boat makes quite a lot of noise, so before we head off, let me tell you a few things about what you're going to see.

113

This area is famous for its ancient lighthouse, which you'll see from the boat as we turn past the first little island.

114

It was built in 1838 to protect sailors, as a number of shipwrecks had led to significant loss of life.

115

The construction itself was complicated, as some of the original drawings kept by the local council

116

show It sits right on top of the cliffs in a very isolated spot In the 19th century,

117

there were many jobs there, such as polishing the brass lamps,

118

chopping firewood and cleaning windows that kept lighthouse keepers busy These workers were mainly prison convicts until the middle of that century,

119

when ordinary families willing to live in such circumstances took over.

120

Some of you have asked me what creatures we can expect to see.

121

I know everyone loves the penguins, but they're very shy and unfortunately tend to hide from passing boats.

122

But you might see birds in the distance, such as sea eagles, flying around the cliff edges where they nest.

123

When we get to the rocky area inhabited by fur seals, we'll stop and watch them swimming around the coast.

124

They're inquisitive creatures, so don't be surprised if one pops up right in front of you.

125

Their predators, orca whales, hunt along the coastline too, but spotting one of these is rare.

126

Dolphins, on the other hand, can sometimes approach on their own or in groups as they ride the waves beside us.

127

Lastly, I want to mention the caves.

128

Tasmania is famous for its caves, and the ones we'll pass by are so amazing that people are lost for words when they see them.

129

They can only be approached by sea, but if you feel that you want to see more than we're able to show you,

130

then you can take a kayak into the area on another day, and one of our staff will give you more information on that.

131

What we'll do is to go through a narrow channel

132

Past some incredible rock formations

133

And from there we'll be able to see the openings to the caves

134

And at that point we'll talk to you about what lies beyond

135

That is the end of part two You now have half a minute to check your answers

136

Now turn to part three.

137

First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26.

138

Now listen and answer questions 21 to 26.

139

So, Tim, we have to do a short summary of our work experience on a farm.

140

Tim Right.

141

My farm was great, but arranging the work experience was hard.

142

One problem was, it was miles away and I don't drive.

143

And also, I'd really wanted a placement for a month, but I could only get one for two weeks.

144

I was lucky.

145

The farmer let me stay on the farm, so I didn't have to travel.

146

But finding the right sort of farm to apply to wasn't easy.

147

No, they don't seem to have websites, do they?

148

I found mine through a friend of my mother's, but it wasn't easy.

149

No. My farm was mostly livestock, especially sheep.

150

I really enjoyed helping out with them.

151

I was up most of one night helping a sheep deliver a lamb.

152

On your own?

153

No, the farmer was there, and he told me what to do.

154

It wasn't a straightforward birth, but I managed.

155

It was a great feeling to see the lamb stagger to its feet and start feeding almost straight away, and to know that it was okay.

156

Then another time, a lamb had broken its leg, and they got the vet in to set it.

157

And he talked me through what he was doing.

158

That was really useful.

159

Yes, my farm had sheep too.

160

The farm was in a valley and they had a lowland breed called Suffolk's, although the farmer said they'd had other breeds in the past.

161

So were they bred for their meat?

162

Mostly, yes.

163

They're quite big and solid.

164

My farm was up in the hills and they had a different breed of sheep.

165

They were Cheviots.

166

Oh, I heard their wools really sought after.

167

Yes, it's very hard wearing and they use it for carpets.

168

Right.

169

I was interested in the amount of supplements they add to animals' feed nowadays.

170

Like, even the chickens got extra vitamins and electrolytes in their feed.

171

Yes, I found that too.

172

And they're not cheap.

173

But my farmer said some are overpriced for what they are and he didn't give them as a matter of routine,

174

just at times when the chickens seemed to particularly require them.

175

Yes, Mai said the same.

176

He said certain breeds of chickens might need more supplements than the others, but the cheap and expensive ones are all basically the same.

177

So did your farm have any other livestock, Diana?

178

Yes, dairy cows.

179

I made a really embarrassing mistake when I was working in the milk shed.

180

Some cows had been treated with antibiotics, so their milk wasn't suitable for human consumption, and it had to be put in a separate container.

181

But I got mixed up, and I poured some milk from the wrong cow in with the milk for humans, so the whole lot had to be thrown away.

182

The farmer wasn't too happy with me.

183

I asked my farmer how much he depended on the vet to deal with health problems.

184

I'd read reports that the livestock's health is being affected as farmers are under pressure to increase production.

185

Well, he didn't agree with that, but he said that actually some of the stuff the vets do, like minor operations, he'd be quite capable of doing himself.

186

Yeah, my farmer said the same, but he reckons vet skills are still needed.

187

Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30.

188

Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.

189

Now we've got to give a bit of feedback about last term's modules.

190

Just short comments, apparently.

191

Shall we do that now?

192

OK.

193

So, medical terminology.

194

Well, my heart sank when I saw that.

195

Especially right at the beginning of the course.

196

and I did struggle with it.

197

I thought it would be hard, but actually I found it all quite straightforward.

198

What did you think about diet and nutrition?

199

OK, I suppose.

200

Do you remember what they told us about pet food

201

and the fact that there's such limited checking into whether or not it's contaminated?

202

I mean, in comparison with the checks on food for humans, I thought that was terrible.

203

Hmm...

204

I think the module that really impressed me was the animal disease one.

205

When we looked at domesticated animals in different parts of the world, like camels and water buffalo and alpaca,

206

the economies of so many countries depend on these, but scientists don't know much about the diseases that affect them.

207

Yes.

208

I thought they'd know a lot about ways of controlling and eradicating those diseases, but that's not the case at all.

209

I loved the wildlife medication unit.

210

Things like Helping birds that have been caught in oil spills.

211

That's something I hadn't thought about before.

212

Yeah.

213

I thought I might write my dissertation on something connected with that.

214

Right.

215

So, actually, I was thinking something along the same...

216

That is the end of part three.

217

You now have half a minute to check your answers.

218

Now turn to part four.

219

First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.

220

Now listen and answer questions 31 to 40.

221

Labyrinths have existed for well over 4,000 years.

222

Labyrinths and labyrinthine symbols have been found in regions as diverse as modern-day Turkey, Ireland, Greece and India.

223

There are various designs of labyrinth, but what they all have in common is a winding spiral path which leads to a central area.

224

There is one starting point at the entrance, and the goal is to reach the central area.

225

your way through a labyrinth involves many twists and turns, but it's not possible to get lost, as there is only one single path.

226

In modern times, the word labyrinth has taken on a different meaning and is often used as a synonym for a maze.

227

A maze is quite different, as it is a kind of puzzle with an intricate network of paths.

228

Mazes became fashionable in the 15th and 16th centuries in Europe, and can still be found in the gardens of great houses and palaces.

229

The paths are usually surrounded by thick, high hedges so that it's not possible to see over them.

230

Entering a maze usually involves getting lost a few times before using logic to work out the pattern

231

and find your way to the centre, and then out again.

232

There are lots of dead ends and paths which lead you back to where you started.

233

The word maze is believed to come from a Scandinavian word for a state of confusion.

234

This is where the word amazing comes from.

235

Labyrinths, on the other hand, have a very different function.

236

Although people now often refer to things they find complicated as labyrinths, this is not how they were seen in the past.

237

The winding spiral of the labyrinth has been used for centuries as a metaphor for life's journey.

238

It served as a spiritual reminder that there is purpose and meaning to our lives, and helped to give people a sense of direction.

239

Labyrinths are thought to encourage a feeling of calm, and have been used as a meditation and prayer tool in many cultures over many centuries.

240

The earliest examples of the labyrinth spiral pattern have been found carved into stone,

241

from Sardinia to Scandinavia, from Arizona to India to Africa.

242

In Europe, these spiral carvings date from the Late Bronze Age.

243

The Native American Pima tribe wove baskets with a circular labyrinth design that depicted their own cosmology.

244

In ancient Greece, the labyrinth spiral was used on coins around 4,000 years ago.

245

Labyrinths made of mosaics were commonly found in bathhouses, villas, and tombs throughout the Roman Empire.

246

In northern Europe, there were actual physical labyrinths designed for walking on.

247

These were cut into the turf or grass, usually in a circular pattern.

248

The origin of these walking labyrinths remains unclear, but they were probably used for fertility rites, which may date back thousands of years.

249

Eleven examples of turf labyrinths survive today, including the largest one at Saffron Walden, England, which used to have a large tree in the middle of it.

250

More recently, labyrinths have experienced something of a revival.

251

Some believe that walking a labyrinth promotes healing and mindfulness, and there are those who believe in its emotional and physical benefits,

252

which include slower breathing, and a restored sense of balance and perspective.

253

This idea has become so popular that labyrinths have been laid into the floors of spas, wellness centers, and even prisons in recent years.

254

A pamphlet at Colorado Children's Hospital informs patients that walking a labyrinth can often calm people in the midst of a crisis.

255

And apparently, it's not only patients who benefit.

256

Many visitors find walking a labyrinth less stressful than sitting in a corridor or waiting room.

257

Some doctors even walk the labyrinth during their breaks.

258

In some hospitals, patients who can't walk can have a paper finger labyrinth brought to their bed.

259

The science behind the theory is a little sketchy, but there are dozens of small-scale studies which support claims about the benefits of labyrinths.

260

For example, one study found that walking a labyrinth provided short-term calming, relaxation and relief from anxiety for Alzheimer's patients.

261

So what is it about labyrinths that makes their appeal so universal?

262

That is the end of part four.

263

You now have ten minutes to transfer your answers to the answer sheet.

264

Thank you.

265

Thank you.

266

Thank you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
