Ders oluşturuluyor...
1
This is the Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English Listening Test.
2
Test 2.
3
I'm going to give you the instructions for this test.
4
I'll introduce each part of the test and give you time to look at the questions.
5
At the start of each piece, you'll hear this sound.
6
You'll hear each piece twice.
7
Remember, while you're listening, write your answers on the question paper.
8
You'll have five minutes at the end of the test to copy your answers onto the separate answer sheet.
9
There'll now be a pause.
10
Please ask any questions now because you must not speak during the test.
11
Now open your question paper and look at part one.
12
You'll hear three different extracts.
13
For questions 1 to 6, choose the answer, A, B or C, which fits best according to what you hear.
14
There are two questions for each extract.
15
Extract 1 You overhear part of a conversation between the secretary of a golf club and a visitor to the club.
16
Now look at questions one and two.
17
Sorry to be late.
18
This club's a bit off the beaten track, isn't it?
19
Thought I'd never find it.
20
You don't have an in -car satellite navigation system, then?
21
A sat -nav?
22
No, I don't.
23
Though I suppose I should invest in one.
24
I often have this sort of trouble.
25
Getting to a town's a piece of cake, but after that, well, it's not so much the cost.
26
My friends all have them and tell me the price is going down all the time.
27
But electronic gadgets aren't my favourite things.
28
Fine when they work, nightmare when they don't.
29
A little black box could hardly have been less useful than my map today, though.
30
I wouldn't be without mine now.
31
I won't try and blind you with science, but I do know quite a bit about satellites.
32
The technology is amazing.
33
Position can be pinpointed to within a metre.
34
Of course, accuracy is down to the mapping companies who do the updating work, but new models come out all the time.
35
It's entirely up to you, of course, but imagine never having to ask for directions again.
36
That'll be good.
37
I'll certainly give it some thought.
38
Now you'll hear the recording again.
39
Sorry to be late.
40

41

No, I don't.

47

48
Well, it's not so much the cost.
49
My friends all have them and tell me the price is going down all the time.
50

51

That'll be good.

I'll certainly give it some thought.
61
Extract 2
62
You hear part of a discussion in which the anthropologist Paula Drew and the comedian Mike Morton are talking about their lives.
63
Now look at questions 3 and 4.
64
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.
65
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.
66
I wasn't a fast runner, so I exploited comedy to avoid unwelcome attention.
67
It seemed to come easy and it worked.
68
Your type of comedy is less spontaneous than reflective.
69
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.
70
Don't you think that the key to achieving what you want in life is the realisation
71
that it's going to be tough and the sheer persistence that gets you there in the end?
72
What you have to have is massive self -confidence.
73
With that you can do anything.
74
And being specific about what it is you want to do.
75
Oh well, that goes without saying.
76
Now you'll hear the recording again.
77
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.

87
And being specific about what it is you want to do.
88
Oh, well, that goes without saying.
89
If you're English, a nice, sad 19th century romance is very useful if you're on holiday and you get attacked by homesickness,
90
because it conjures up dripping English autumn days perfectly.
91
I always take something by this chap who's written a number of books about the criminal underworld of Boston,
92
Massachusetts, which is hardly culturally or geographically a place that I know, but I find it fascinating.
93
There's no doubt about it.
94
If you compile, as I do, dictionaries of slang for a living, one is drawn inevitably not, alas, to the great classics,
95
who are on the whole rather light on slang, but to someone like this fellow, who has this amazing ability, far beyond quoting,
96
of writing 20 or 40 pages of dialogue in almost incomprehensible slang
97
which i have the most wonderful time going through i find it very alluring
98
now you'll hear the recording again

109
to 14 complete the sentences you now have 45 seconds to look at part 2
110
Thank you.
111
Last year, I found myself flying to the Arctic Circle with five biologists from the Canadian Wildlife Service.
112
As our small plane descended towards a snow -covered runway, I looked out of the window at the frozen ocean below.
113
I could see small holes in the ice, and around them, lots of extraordinary little figures rather like ants.
114
I was told they were seals basking on the ice in the sun.
115
Ten minutes after we'd landed, I had my first sighting of a wolf, which my eagle -eyed colleagues pointed out to me, at least 700 metres away.
116
And later on, I was lucky enough to see a caribou with its huge antlers at much closer range.
117
At first sight, the Arctic seems to be a kind of desert, but there are plants and animals around.
118
You just have to look around for them.
119
You may find what's called an oasis.
120
This is a little confined area with access to water, where vegetation can establish itself and provide nutrients for animals.
121
Arctic plants have evolved to cope with this harsh environment, like the yellow arctic poppy, which only has a tiny tuft of leaves visible, as the bulk of the plant,
122
a network of roots, stays underground.
123
Its leaves remain green all winter, so it can make the most of the short growing season.
124
The diversity of bird species decreases as you travel north, but there are birds which spend the winter here, and others that come back in the spring.
125
Most of these birds get their nourishment from seeds, although a predator like the snowy owl feeds on small mammals called lemmings, and others do manage to find fish.
126
For accommodation, we had tents which looked just like the igloos the local Inuit people build out of ice, with little tunnels at the front.
127
Only ours were orange and made of nylon, and our only connection to the outside world was our radio link.
128
You notice how light the snow cover is.
129
It scatters with the wind, and there are hardly any deep drifts.
130
Apart from the cold, the main hazard is the wildlife, and I received a brief introduction on the correct action to take if a polar bear came to visit.
131
There are other large animals, like the muskox, but they seldom pose a threat.
132
Another thing was that recording the team's descriptions of wildlife, which was my task was incredibly difficult the recorder itself was fine
133
but batteries just don't work in the cold
134
so I had to hold them inside my thick coat to keep them warm but on the whole I found it
135
Now you'll hear the recording again.

160
That's the end of Part 2.
161
Now turn to Part 3.
162
Part 3.
163
You'll hear a radio interview with the gardening experts Jed and Helena Stone.
164
For questions 15 to 20, choose the answer A, B, C or D, which fits best according to what you hear.
165
You now have one minute to look at Part 3.
166
Thank you.
167
Jed Stone's best known now for his talents as a garden designer, but he and his wife, Helena, ran a highly successful jewellery business in the 1990s,
168
which brought them fame and high living.
169
Then they lost it all, and some years later, bought a derelict house, which they renovated, and now, together, they've created a garden.
170
They join me in the studio today.
171
You do seem to do most things in partnership, like the jewellery business, but using Jed's name.
172
Why is that?
173
Helena?
174
Well, this is a bit of a bone of contention, actually.
175
We have a friend in PR who said, you have a great name, Jed Stone.
176
People would pay a fortune for such a good name.
177
But sadly, at the time, it never crossed my mind that I wouldn't get the credit for what we do.
178
And that does get to me sometimes.
179
But there again, I'm very bad at putting myself forward.
180
People see Jed as a figurehead, which is fine, actually, because I don't enjoy being recognised or get any thrill out of that.
181
Whereas Jed loves him.
182
Is that right, Jed?
183
Obviously, I'd love to say no, I don't, but yeah, I do.
184
Even as a child, I thought it must be marvellous to walk down the street and have people know who you were.
185
Ironically, that's the worst of it now.
186
It would be nice just to go and buy a paper without somebody saying something.
187
But I suppose I do like being a public figure.
188
It gives me a sense that I've done something people appreciate.
189
It doesn't stop me doing anything, but it does modify how I do it.
190
But Helena, you did appear on our television screens briefly as a presenter on the travel show.
191
That must have been a dream job, travelling around the world.
192
Actually, I thought I was being heroic taking that job.
193
I'd actually rather have gone down a coal mine.
194
It was ironic, really, because Jed adores travelling, whilst I hate it.
195
The timing was critical, though.
196
I mean, we were living in this derelict house.
197
We'd knocked huge holes in the walls to make windows, and we could hardly afford to get the job finished and I wanted to be there when it was done.
198
So I genuinely didn't want to do the job they were offering
199
but I felt I had no choice because apart from anything else it would provide us with a reasonable income.
200
So what about this jewel garden?
201
Did you have a clear idea of what you wanted to do when you bought the house?
202
Not at all.
203
In fact, we were provoked into action.
204
I was giving a lecture on gardening
205
and I was including some snaps of our own wilderness to show what certain plants looked like, but these photos hadn't loaded onto my laptop properly and you couldn't see a thing,
206
so I started to make it all up, describing this jewel garden with magical colours.
207
It came straight out of my imagination.
208
It hadn't been a long -term plan or anything.
209
Anyway, as soon as I'd finished, these journalists came rushing up saying, we must come and take pictures of your jewel garden.
210
And I heard myself replying, fine, but come when the colours are good.
211
Don't come now.
212
To cut a long story short, we had to make the jewel garden before they came.
213
And actually, we did 90 % of the work that summer.
214
That was our incentive.
215
And why did you call it a jewel garden?
216
Having read about the disasters with the jewellery business, one would have thought you wouldn't want the word jewel in your house at all.
217
Well, I like to work on projects.
218
And if you have a project where you're thinking only of jewel colours, then that starts to limit you.
219
And design is all about reduction.
220
Really, it was just a good, positive way of tackling what plants we were putting in and the way we were going to design the garden, wasn't it, Jed?
221
Yeah, but for me it was also partly a metaphor.
222
It's making something worthwhile out of a failure.
223
We did spend years doing the jewellery, and it wasn't all disastrous, there were good things about it too, and we wanted to salvage them and treasure them.
224
It seemed to waste not to take that bit of our lives and to somehow incorporate it into our new design venture, to take the bad experience and use it in a creative way.
225
Jed and Helena, thank you for telling us about it today.
226
Now you'll hear the recording again.

288
That's the end of Part 3.
289
Now turn to Part 4.
290
Part 4.
291
Part 4 consists of two tasks.
292
You'll hear five short extracts in which people are talking about weekend activities.
293
Look at Task 1.
294
For questions 21 to 25, choose from the list A to H the activity each speaker is describing.
295
Now look at Task 2.
296
For questions 26 to 30, choose from the list A to H what each speaker felt about their activity.
297
While you listen, you must complete both tasks.
298
You now have 45 seconds to look at Part 4.
299
Thank you.
300
Speaker 1 Well, we got there late, unfortunately.
301
The problem was that Dave couldn't find a parking space anywhere.
302
We drove around for ages.
303
I don't think we realised just how popular it was going to be.
304
We nearly didn't bother, you know.
305
Last month's was such a disappointment.
306
There wasn't much to see and not many people turned up.
307
But this time it was the complete opposite.
308
There were all kinds of food, a huge fish section, clothes, miscellaneous stalls with goodness knows what.
309
Apart from it being almost impossible to make progress past the stalls, we quite enjoyed it.
310
Speaker Two Yes, Pete and I go quite regularly now.
311
He wasn't too keen to begin with, but over the last few months we've both got completely hooked.
312
However, we were a bit unlucky last weekend.
313
We were expecting great things, and we'd been looking forward to it for ages.
314
This was going to be the big one.
315
We set off early, got the gear ready the night before, but after a couple of hours the weather set in.
316
Couldn't see a thing.
317
The visibility was down to about ten metres.
318
There was no way we were going to reach the summit, so we just had to abandon it.
319
Discovered we'd lost one of our ropes when we got back home, just to cap it all.
320
Speaker 3 I haven't been for ages.
321
It was a real treat for me.
322
Of course, before I was married, I used to go several times a year, but I don't think I've been now since 1994.
323
It's not that my wife objects to it, it's just, well, I don't know, I suppose I feel a bit guilty going off at the weekend.
324
But it's good fun.
325
I love seeing all the big names.
326
Mind you, not a lot happened, nothing to clap or cheer about, but it didn't seem to matter.
327
It was just being there, encouraging the players, and despairing when they got it all wrong.
328
Speaker 4 We felt it was a good opportunity to celebrate.
329
Occasions like this don't happen every day, and everyone was in a good mood, so we thought, why not?
330
The thing is, we wanted it to be different something that we'd always remember something to round off a perfect day
331
Jamie had heard about this interesting place by the harbour where you sat on cushions and you prepared your own dishes
332
It sounded different, so we set off for there When we arrived,
333
the manager had already heard about our success and even though he was busy, he still managed to find plenty of room for us all.
334
Speaker 5 I was on my own at the weekend, and I suppose I was a bit restless.
335
You know, I've been working hard recently.
336
I needed to get out in the fresh air, and so I just headed off into the country.
337
It was great, a beautiful day.
338
It reminded me of when my father used to take me fishing.
339
"'Well, I fancied a quick dip, and so, as no one was around, "'I just stripped off and plunged in.
340
"'It was marvellous, but I got a bit over -ambitious.
341
"'Before I knew it, I was more than a mile out.
342
"'It took me a very long time to get back, "'and when I reached the shore again, "'I lay in the sun for ages to get my breath back.'
343
Now you'll hear the recording again.
344
Speaker 1 Well, we got there late, unfortunately.
345
The problem was that Dave couldn't find a parking space anywhere.
346
We drove around for ages.
347
I don't think we realised just how popular it was going to be.
348
We nearly didn't bother, you know.
349
Last month's was such a disappointment.
350
There wasn't much to see, and not many people turned up.
351
But this time it was the complete opposite.
352
There were all kinds of food, a huge fish section, clothes, miscellaneous stalls with goodness knows what.
353
Apart from it being almost impossible to make progress past the stalls, we quite enjoyed it.
354
Speaker 2 Yes, Pete and I go quite regularly now.
355
He wasn't too keen to begin with, but over the last few months, we've both got completely hooked.
356
However, we were a bit unlucky last weekend.
357
We were expecting great things, and we'd been looking forward to it for ages.
358
This was going to be the big one.
359
We set off early, got the gear ready the night before, but after a couple of hours the weather set in.
360
Couldn't see a thing.
361
The visibility was down to about ten metres.
362
There was no way we were going to reach the summit, so we just had to abandon it.
363
Discovered we'd lost one of our ropes when we got back home, just to cap it all.
364
Speaker 3 I haven't been for ages.
365
It was a real treat for me.
366
Of course, before I was married, I used to go several times a year, but I don't think I've been now since 1994.
367
It's not that my wife objects to it, it's just, well, I don't know, I suppose I feel a bit guilty going off at the weekend.
368
But it's good fun.
369
I love seeing all the big names.
370
Mind you, not a lot happened, nothing to clap or cheer about, but it didn't seem to matter.
371
It was just being there, encouraging the players, and despairing when they got it all wrong.
372
Speaker 4 We felt it was a good opportunity to celebrate.
373
Occasions like this don't happen every day, and everyone was in a good mood, so we thought, why not?
374
The thing is, we wanted it to be different something that we'd always remember something to round off a perfect day
375
Jamie had heard about this interesting place by the harbour where you sat on cushions and you prepared your own dishes
376
It sounded different, so we set off for there When we arrived,
377
the manager had already heard about our success and even though he was busy, he still managed to find plenty of room for us all.
378
Speaker 5 I was on my own at the weekend, and I suppose I was a bit restless.
379
You know, I've been working hard recently.
380
I needed to get out in the fresh air, and so I just headed off into the country.
381
It was great, a beautiful day.
382
It reminded me of when my father used to take me fishing.
383
Well, I fancied a quick dip, and so, as no one was around, I just stripped off and plunged in.
384
It was marvellous, but I got a bit over -ambitious.
385
Before I knew it, I was more than a mile out.
386
It took me a very long time to get back, and when I reached the shore again, I lay in the sun for ages to get my breath back.
387
That's the end of Part Four.
388
There'll now be a pause of five minutes for you to copy your answers onto the separate answer sheet.
389
Be sure to follow the numbering of all the questions.
390
I'll remind you when there's one minute left so that you're sure to finish in time.
391
That's the end of the test.
392
Please stop now.
393
Your supervisor will now collect all the question papers and answer sheets.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
