题目与答案

1. 11 The speaker stresses the importance to Clifton Bird Park of
   • birds that are now endangered
   • birds from all over the world
   • birds that are common in the local area

   答案：birds that are now endangered

   原文定位：For some species that we have here, there aren't many still alive in the wild, so a big part of our job is to make sure we help their numbers increase. All the birds are native species

   同义替换：「stresses the importance」↔「a big part of our job」，「endangered」↔「aren't many still alive in the wild」

2. 12 People who volunteer to help with gardening at the park
   • must work weekends
   • need to come at least once a month
   • will only be required in the busy season

   答案：need to come at least once a month

   原文定位：Obviously, summer is the time when we have most visitors, but the park needs looking after all year round. If you want to help, you can choose which day, although we do already have plenty of volunteers working Saturdays and Sundays. But one day every four weeks is the minimum commitment that we ask for

   同义替换：「at least once a month」↔「one day every four weeks」，「need to」↔「the minimum commitment that we ask for」

3. 13 According to the speaker, who would be the ideal gardening volunteer?
   • someone who can work independently
   • someone who is willing to work in any weather
   • someone who knows a lot about plants

   答案：someone who is willing to work in any weather

   原文定位：If you have expert knowledge about flowers and trees, great, but we're looking more for people who are flexible and turn up no matter whether it's raining or baking hot. That's what'll make you the best person for the job. It's all teamwork, so you'll have plenty of support

   同义替换：「the ideal gardening volunteer」↔「the best person for the job」，「be willing to work in any weather」↔「turn up no matter whether it's raining or baking hot」

4. 14 Volunteer guides will mainly be working with
   • international visitors
   • local people from Clifton
   • school groups

   答案：international visitors

   原文定位：In general, it's people in a foreign tour group that you're responsible for. The Clifton residents who come to the park usually know their way around. We get a few teachers bringing in classes, but they're the park officer's responsibility

   同义替换：「mainly be working with」↔「responsible for」，「international visitors」↔「people in a foreign tour group」

5. 15 What is still required for the Maintenance Day at the bird park?
   • food and drink
   • transport
   • tools

   答案：transport

   原文定位：If anyone is able to drive some other volunteers to the event, please let me know because we need help there. The park officers will provide you with spades and drills and hammers, all of that stuff, and they'll be offering you some refreshments too, so it should be a good day out

   同义替换：「still required」↔「need help there」，「food and drink」↔「refreshments」
