This is the Cambridge First Certificate in English Listening Test, Test 2.
2
I'm going to give you the instructions for this test.
3
I'll introduce each part of the test and give you time to look at the questions.
4
At the start of each piece, you'll hear this sound.
5
You'll hear each piece twice.
6
Remember, while you're listening, write your answers on the question paper.
7
You'll have five minutes at the end of the test to copy your answers onto the separate answer sheet.
8
There will now be a pause.
9
Please ask any questions now because you must not speak during the test.
10
Now open your question paper and look at part one.
11
You'll hear people talking in eight different situations.
12
For questions 1 to 8, choose the best answer A, B or C.
13
1. You overhear a woman talking to her husband on a mobile phone.
14
What's the background to the conversation?
15
A. The family's holiday may have to be cancelled.
16
B. The woman wants to buy their son a computer.
17
C. Their son has schoolwork to complete before the start of term.
18
Listen, about Jimmy's school project.
19
I spoke to the computer department at work about borrowing a laptop, and apparently they're only supposed to give them out to people on company business.
20
So I guess Jimmy will just have to write it all out by hand and type it out when we get back.
21
That'll only give him two days, but what can we do?
22
I know he's been at home all summer, but that's Jimmy for you, and he's only 12.
23
I just wish his school was a bit more understanding about people's holiday arrangements.

2. You hear a phone-in programme on the radio.
31
Why has the man phoned?
32
a.
33
To complain about the traffic scheme b.
34
To express his support for the traffic scheme.
35
c.
36
To question the aims of the traffic scheme.
37
Go ahead, Paul.
38
I'm listening.
39
Well, I'm fed up with listening to all your callers moaning on about the new traffic scheme.
40
I mean, that woman who said it took 50 minutes to cross the city by car instead of her usual 30.
41
Poor thing!
42
Why didn't she leave the car at home and use the bus service instead?
43
Anyway, the aim of the new scheme isn't to make car journeys quicker.
44
It's for shoppers and pedestrians and cyclists and bus passengers, and it's working.
45
I recommend everyone to have a walk in the city centre and see for themselves.
46
That's all I wanted to say.
47
Go ahead, Paul.
48
I'm listening.

58
What has she recently done?
59
A. Decided to move to another area.
60
B. Solved a problem that she had.
61
C. Made improvements to her house.
62
I do sometimes think about moving.
63
I can't deny it.
64
But when you've lived in a house for as long as I have, you learn to accept its drawbacks, and you stop always trying to change things.
65
Here, the garden is a bit big for me to cope with as I would like, but now I've got someone who comes in once a week to help me out,
66
and things have definitely improved.
67
So I think I'll be staying put for just a little bit longer.

74
What language does their friend usually speak at home?
75
A. French B.
76
English C.
77
Italian I had dinner at Mark's house last night.
78
His father made a delicious Italian dessert.
79
Oh yes, his parents are Italian, aren't they?
80
I keep forgetting that because Mark's English is so good.
81
Of course it is.
82
He was born in Texas.
83
And his mother's not Italian.
84
She's French.
85
That's what they all speak to each other.
86
Though they used English when I was there.
87
Mark has to go to classes on Saturdays to learn to read and write Italian.
88
To hear him speak on the phone to his grandmother in Rome, you'd think it was his first language.

100
How did he feel during the holiday?

A. Bored by the climbing.
102
B. Upset with his father.
103
C. Disappointed with the rowing boat.
104
As a child, all our holidays were in Scotland because my father was very keen on climbing, and he insisted we went climbing every day.
105
One day, the weather stopped us going climbing, much to my relief, so we hired a rowing boat on the lake.
106
My father complained it was uncomfortable and slow.
107
He preferred motorboats, but I sat there and thought, this feels good, even though the boat was old and creaky.
108
After that, I just got the bug really and I've been rowing ever since.
109
And the boats now are better than that first one in Scotland.

119
B. The environment.
120
C. A form of entertainment.
121
As any parent or child carer knows, it's pointless buying drums or expensive instruments for small children.
122
Give them a wooden spoon, a saucepan lid and a cardboard box and they'll happily bang away for hours.
123
So you could say that the group named Thump are simply having their second childhood.
124
Just over seven years ago, this small band of street performers from the north of England
125
decided to turn their routine with metal rubbish bins and bicycle chains into a stage show.
126
They now have five separate groups working nightly across the country
127
and are just about to begin their first tour of the USA.

142
crossing the city from one corner to the next and turning up at hundreds of places which weren't suitable.
143
And also it was taken from an idea in Australia where a similar service was set up,
144
and I thought, well, let's try and take out some of the misery of trying to find a flat here in Scotland.
145

156
Let me think for a moment.
157
Well, it was one of the comedies.
158
I believe she was a fairy.
159
I can tell you that it was performed at the Regent Theatre last year starring Evelyn Thomas and had excellent reviews.
160
I don't remember that.
161
Now, is it Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare?
162
Indeed it is.

为什么用这个视频练习口语?

看视频学英语是提升口语的好方法,这个视频里的对话场景贴近生活,比如夫妻间的电话沟通、电台听众的来电,能帮助你熟悉真实语境中的表达逻辑。通过影子跟读(shadow speak)模仿说话人的语气和节奏,不仅能锻炼听力,还能让你的口语更自然流畅。无论是日常交流还是雅思口语练习,这些真实场景都能为你积累实用素材。

语境中的语法与表达

视频中的对话藏着不少实用表达,值得仔细品味:

  • 虚拟语气:“I just wish his school was a bit more understanding...” 用wish表达对现状的不满,是口语中常见的委婉抱怨方式。
  • 省略句:“Poor thing! Why didn't she leave the car at home and use the bus service instead?” 口语中常省略冗余信息,用简洁的问句增强表达力。
  • 现在完成进行时:“I'm fed up with listening to all your callers moaning...” 强调动作的持续性,体现说话人的情绪积累。

这些结构能让你的口语更生动,摆脱生硬的直译。

发音中的常见陷阱

视频里的发音细节需要注意:

  • “scheme”的发音容易被误读为/skiːm/,正确发音是/skiːm/(注意元音的长度),在口语中常用来指“计划”。
  • “pedestrians”的重音在第二个音节/pəˈdestriənz/,快速朗读时容易忽略,需要多听多练。
  • 口语中的连读现象,比如“that's Jimmy for you”中“that's”和“Jimmy”的连读,会让句子更流畅,影子跟读时要注意模仿。

抓住这些细节,你的发音会更地道,听力也会更敏锐。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
