1
Now turn to part four.
2
You'll hear an interview with Trina Travos, a pop singer who is only 15.
3
For questions 24 to 30, choose the best answer A, B or C.
4
You now have one minute in which to look at part four.
5
Thank you.
6
Thank you.
7
Marina, you're 15 and you've just come back from America where you've been making records.
8
What was it like?
9
It was wonderful.
10
I had the six-week school summer holidays and, you know, went over there for a month and then started school again.
11
What did your classmates at school think?
12
I just told close friends what I was doing in the States and I thought, well, if the records were successful then I'd tell everyone.
13
And they were successful.
14
Right.
15
And my friends were very good about it, not envious or anything.
16
Did you like being in the USA?
17
Oh, yes.
18
Most of the time it was great.
19
The people are so friendly.
20
Did you manage to write any songs there?
21
Well, yeah, I did.
22
Most of the stuff I'd done in England had been about the people closest to me.
23
You know, mum, dad, my sister.
24
They weren't with me in the States.
25
And although I miss them, and silly things like the rain in England and fish and chips, being surrounded with new faces gave me lots of material for my songs.
26
Now, your home in England is a long way from London.
27
Yes, about as far as you can get.
28
So, is it easy to get into the music business if you live that far away?
29
Don't you have to be in London, or near a big city at least?
30
No, no. We did play in London once.
31
We were actually approached at a local concert, so I don't think it's impossible to get noticed anywhere.
32
There are lots of record companies looking for bands, and they do go quite a long way from the cities to find them.
33
I was lucky with my band, and there have been other bands like us that have been lucky as well, so you don't have to come from a huge city to be discovered.
34
Now, in the USA, you did a song with someone who was a star when I was your age, David Pearson, and you hadn't any idea who he was.
35
No, it was embarrassing, actually, but he was a really pleasant guy.
36
Yeah?
37
He was recording an album in the same studio, and he had this song that he needed someone to sing with him.
38
And he asked me, and I was only too delighted to do it.
39
But that wasn't the only famous star you worked with in the States, was it?
40
No, there was Lance Lakatov.
41
But you had heard of him?
42
Yes.
43
He's a bit of a hero of mine, in fact.
44
And you were in his TV series?
45
Yes.
46
And what was that like?
47
It was a really good experience.
48
I hadn't done anything like that before.
49
And they filmed us for three or four days, you know, and that was the end of it.
50
Oh, so I thought, but they'd made some mistakes, which was such a shame, because I had to go back to the USA.
51
Oh!
52
I came home to England, and then they phoned up and said they had some bad camera work, etc., and had to fly all the way back and do it again.
53
Actually, in the USA, your record did well, but not here in England.
54
Why is that?
55
Because you've never been able to get it over here in Britain.
56
The record company's never had any arrangements to sell their records in Britain, so it's always just been the USA, which is nice, in a way.
57
Why do you say that?
58
Well, it's good to come home and get away from it.
59
But is it that the company don't think your style will appeal over here?
60
No, it's purely the fact they don't operate over here.
61
But the company's just been sold, and the new company does operate over here.
62
So maybe they will release the record.
63
So, where do you see your career going?
64
Will you go back to the States?
65
Well, not for a while, I shouldn't think, as I have another two years at school here in England.
66
I know my school friends are thinking of college, but I'm not sure that's for me, even to do music.
67
Then, my agent has been trying to persuade me to do it full time, and my parents say it's up to me, but I'm happy to wait a while before that happens.
68
I can still write, after all.
69
In fact, one of my songs is in the American charts at the moment, but sung by someone else.
70
Well, the best of luck, Trina.
71
Now you'll hear part four again.
72
Trina, you're 15 and you've just come back from America where you've been making records.
73
What was it like?
74
It was wonderful.

137
There'll now be a pause of five minutes for you to copy your answers onto the separate answer sheet.
138
Be sure to follow the numbering of all the questions.
139
I'll remind you when there is one minute left so that you're sure to finish in time.
140
That's the end of the test.
141
Please stop now.
142
Your supervisor will now collect all the question papers and answer sheets.
143
Thank you.

推荐视频
为什么用这个视频练习口语?
这个视频是一段15岁流行歌手的访谈,对话真实自然,涵盖日常交流、个人经历等场景,非常适合作为英语口语练习的素材。通过模仿歌手的表达,你能学会如何清晰讲述经历、回应问题,还能积累音乐行业相关的实用表达。对于看YouTube学英语的学习者来说,这样的真实对话比教科书更生动,能帮助你适应不同的语速和语气,为实际交流打下基础。
语境中的语法与表达
视频中有不少值得关注的表达,一起来看看:
- 过去完成时的使用:“I had just come back from America” 体现了“过去的过去”,讲述在访谈前已经完成的动作。这种时态在回忆经历时很常用。
- “be only too delighted to do”:表示“非常乐意做某事”,比简单的“very happy”更生动。比如可以说“I'm only too delighted to help you”。
- “approach”的动词用法:“We were actually approached at a local concert” 意思是“被主动联系”,在描述被他人注意或邀请时很实用。
常见发音陷阱
视频中的发音有几个需要注意的地方:
- “embarrassing”:这个词的重音在第二个音节,容易被读错成“em-BAR-rassing”,正确发音是“em-BA-rassing”。
- “Lance Lakatov”:人名中的“Lakatov”可能因口音导致发音模糊,练习时可多听几遍,注意连读和弱读。
- 语速较快时,“hadn't any idea”可能会被简化成“hadn't any idea”,要注意区分否定形式的发音。
想要练好这些发音,可以试试shadow speech(影子跟读法),跟着视频逐句模仿,感受母语者的语调和节奏。找一个合适的shadowing site,反复练习,能有效提高英语发音哦。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 现在完成进行时 have/has been + -ing — 以前开始、现在仍在继续的动作 | you've been making · has been trying |
| 条件句 if + 从句,will/would + 动词 — 条件及其结果 | if the records were successful then I'd tell · if the records were successful, then I'd tell |
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | you've just come · have been · you've never been |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的 | being surrounded · were actually approached · be discovered |
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。
