IELTS 雅思 聽力原創模擬試題 5

A: Welcome to the Clayhouse Maker Studio! I can get you registered for a membership right now. Can I start with your full name? B: Hi! Yes, it's Amara Kovac. That's Amara, A-M-A-R-A, and my surname is spelled K-O-V-A-C. A: Got it, Amara. And what's a good contact phone number for you? B: It's 0-7-4-1-2-5-5-8-9-6-3. A: Let me read that back: 0-7-4-1-2-5-5-8-9-6-3. Perfect. Now, the Standard tier gives basic access to clay wheels, but the Creative membership includes free firing and glazing. Which one would you prefer? B: Definitely the Creative option. I plan to make quite a few large pots, so free glazing is perfect. A: Excellent. And when would you like this membership to start? B: Well, I'm busy with a work project until the 12th of October, so I originally thought about starting then, but actually, let's make it the 15th of October to be safe. A: Perfect, the 15th of October it is. Now, the Creative membership is normally sixty pounds a month, but with our autumn promotion, it'll only be forty-five pounds per month for your first year. B: That's a real bargain! Also, do we get our own storage lockers here? I have quite a lot of gear. A: Yes, every member gets a personal locker to keep their tools and unfinished projects. We also host regular exhibitions where you can display your work to the public. We don't have 24-hour access yet, unfortunately, though we hope to next year. B: That's fine. I do follow your Instagram page, but a colleague at work actually recommended you, which is how I first heard about this place. A: Word of mouth is always the best! Now, our members' social nights run on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Which evening are you most likely to come in? B: Thursdays are usually quite hectic for me, so I'll definitely be attending the Tuesday sessions instead. A: Great. Lastly, we offer a free welcome gift: either a basic clay sculpting tool set, or a protective cotton apron. B: Oh, I already have plenty of tools from my college days, but a fresh apron would be incredibly useful. I'll take that, please! [Q1] Surname: ________

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Greenwood Community Tool and Craft Hub—I’m Hina, and I’ll be leading your induction today. Let’s start with a quick overview of our layout so you can find your way around easily. Right as you step through the main entrance, the room on your immediate left is where we keep all our horticultural equipment, which is our Garden Tool Library. If you look straight ahead, past the reception desk, that large central space is our Woodworking Station, where we have workbenches and power drills. Now, if you walk straight through the double doors at the very back of that woodworking space, you’ll step into a covered outdoor courtyard which houses our Repair and Maintenance Depot. Coming back toward the front, just to the right of the reception counter, there's a small room; we originally planned to use this for safety equipment lockers, but we've actually turned it into the Administrative Office. Finally, to reach our quietest zone, take the narrow corridor running down the right-hand side of the main hall; at the very end of this hallway, tucked into the far right corner, is our Sewing and Craft Studio, though people often mistake it for our kitchen! Now, moving on to our borrowing rules: as standard members, you're allowed to borrow up to four items at any one time, which we found is much more manageable than our old limit of six. You can keep any equipment for a standard borrowing period of ten days before returning it. If something breaks during normal use, there is no penalty as long as you report it, but we do charge a small fee if the damage is due to clear negligence. Don't forget our weekly events, especially the popular 'Fix-it Workshop' which has moved from Saturday mornings to Wednesday evenings. Lastly, for those volunteering to close up, please remember to clean the workbenches thoroughly and log your hours on the computer near the exit, but leave the power switches and outdoor shed locks to the security staff. [Q11] Position 1 — the room immediately on the left of the main entrance

C: Come in, Tomas, Aisha. Take a seat. So, we're here to finalize the preparations for your soil ecology fieldwork next week. Have you started dividing up the tasks yet? A: Yes, Dr. Ingrid. We've got a rough list, but we need to pin down who's doing what. For instance, extracting the core samples from the ground. I initially thought I'd do the digging in the woodland area, but... B: Yes, we talked about it, and since I gained a lot of hands-on experience extracting cores during my summer internship, we agreed it would be much quicker if I handle the collection of all the soil cores myself. A: Right, which is great because it frees me up for other things. Though, we still have to carry those heavy testing kits from the lab to the vehicle, and then across the field. They weigh a ton! I can probably carry them. B: Well, there are three large kits, Tomas. It's really a two-person job if we want to avoid throwing our backs out. We should definitely share that load. A: Yeah, you're right, we'll both lift those. Now, for the actual testing on-site, specifically measuring the soil pH levels. It has to be done immediately after extraction to get accurate readings. B: Can you take care of that, Tomas? I'll be busy labeling the core tubes. A: Absolutely. I've already calibrated the digital pH probe, so I'll run the pH tests in the field. B: Great. Now, what about the more complex chemical composition analysis? I mean, testing for nutrient levels like nitrogen and potassium. I thought we could do that in the student lab ourselves? C: Well, you could, but you aren't certified to operate the high-precision mass spectrometer yet. I know the park ranger has a basic kit, but for your research-grade data, you'll need to hand your samples over to our department's laboratory technician. They will process them and email you the results. A: Okay, so the lab technician will handle the chemical analysis. That's a relief. And what about the official permit to collect samples in the reserve? Dr. Ingrid, do we need you to apply for that? C: Well, I did start the paperwork with the city council, but their policy changed last month. It turns out that because this is an educational project, the reserve's park ranger has the authority to issue permits directly on-site. You just need to hand him your project proposal when you arrive. B: Oh, that's much easier! So the park ranger will grant the permit when we check in. Excellent. C: Now, let's talk about the scientific design. Remind me, what's the primary goal of your study? A: Well, we want to evaluate how soil characteristics differ when you move from open, grassy fields into dense pine woodland. So, comparing the soil properties under those two different types of vegetation covers. C: Good. It's vital to focus on vegetation and not get sidetracked by other variables, like human foot traffic, which some students try to measure at the same time. B: Definitely. By the way, Dr. Ingrid, should we book the department's motorized core-drilling machine? It would save us a lot of physical digging. A: Wait, isn't that machine out of order anyway? C: Actually, it was repaired last week. But the issue is that the machine is far too destructive for your specific site. The pine woodland has highly sensitive, shallow root systems belonging to protected wild ferns. A heavy motorized drill would sever those roots and cause permanent damage. You must use manual hand augers instead. B: Right, hand augers it is then. We certainly don't want to damage any native plants. A: I agree. Looking back at the pilot study we did last Friday... I'm slightly concerned about how we collected the samples. The weather was extremely hot, which made the topsoil very dry, but that's just a natural factor we can't control. My main worry was that we gathered all five samples within a tiny two-meter radius. It just didn't give us a realistic representation of the area. B: You're spot on. Fortunately, we used airtight plastic bags, so moisture loss wasn't an issue, but we definitely need to space out our sampling points much wider next week. C: Yes, a wider grid is essential. And what's your backup plan if it rains on Tuesday? Heavy rain can seriously alter surface nutrient levels. A: Well, if it's just a light drizzle, we'll keep working and record the precipitation. But if there's a heavy downpour, we can't just throw plastic sheets over the plots because that alters the natural runoff. B: And we can't afford to postpone the entire project by a week either. So, in the event of heavy rain, we'll just wait in the vehicle until it stops, and then carry out the collection the following morning once the soil has settled. A: Right, so we'll push it to Wednesday morning if the weather turns bad on Tuesday. C: That sounds like a sensible contingency plan. Now, what about safety and extra gear? The reserve has strict rules. B: Do we need to bring our own high-visibility vests? C: No, the park ranger actually provides those at the entrance gate. And safety helmets aren't necessary because there are no steep cliffs or falling hazards. But do keep in mind that mobile signal is non-existent in the valley, so you won't be able to use online maps on your phones. You must have a physical, paper map of the park with you. A: I'll print a hardcopy map tonight. And what about taking photos of the soil layers? Should we bring the department's digital camera? B: Well, we could, but its battery life is terrible. Since we'll need to take quite a few photos, I think it's better if we just use our smartphones. I have a high-capacity portable power bank we can bring to keep them charged up all day. A: That's a much better setup. I'll make sure the power bank is fully charged, and I'll print the map. We're all set! [Q21] Collecting soil core samples

中文翻譯

C：進來吧，Tomas、Aisha。請坐。我們今天是要來確定下週土壤生態學野外調查的準備工作。你們開始分配任務了嗎？ A：是的，Ingrid 博士。我們列出了一個大略的清單，但還需要確定具體的分工。例如，從地下採集核心樣本。我起初以為我要在林地進行挖掘，但是…… B：對，我們討論過了。因為我在暑期實習期間累積了很多採集岩芯的實作經驗，所以我們一致認為如果由我單獨負責收集所有的土壤核心樣本，效率會高得多。 A：沒錯，這太棒了，因為這樣我就有時間做其他事情。不過，我們還是得把那些沉重的測試工具箱從實驗室搬到車上，然後再穿過原野。它們真的很重！我應該可以搬。 B：嗯，那裡有三個大箱子，Tomas。如果我們不想閃到腰，這絕對需要兩個人一起搬。我們一定要分擔這個工作。 A：對，妳說得對，我們一起搬。至於現場的實際測試，特別是測量土壤的 pH 值。這必須在採集後立即進行，才能獲得準確的數據。 B：Tomas，你能負責這部分嗎？我到時候要忙著幫岩芯管貼標籤。 A：沒問題。我已經校正過數位 pH 探針了，所以我會在野外進行 pH 值測試。 B：太好了。那更複雜的化學成分分析呢？我是說，測試像氮和鉀這樣的營養成分含量。我本來以為我們可以在學生實驗室自己做？ C：嗯，你們是可以自己做，但你們還沒有操作高精度質譜儀的證照。我知道護管員有簡易的測試工具，但如果要用於研究級的數據，你們需要把樣本交給我們系的實驗室技術員。他們會進行處理並將結果寄電子郵件給你們。 A：好，所以化學分析會由實驗室技術員負責。這讓我鬆了一口氣。那在保護區採集樣本的正式許可證呢？Ingrid 博士，需要您幫忙申請嗎？ C：我確實開始向市議會申請了，但他們的政策上個月改變了。結果是，因為這是一個教學計畫，保護區的巡邏護管員有權直接在現場發放許可證。你們抵達時，只要把計畫書交給他就行了。 B：喔，那簡單多了！所以我們報到時，護管員就會核發許可證。太棒了。 C：現在，我們來談談科學設計。提醒我一下，你們研究的首要目標是什麼？ A：嗯，我們想評估從開闊的草地進入茂密的松林時，土壤特性有何不同。也就是比較這兩種不同植被覆蓋下的土壤性質。 C：很好。專注於植被至關重要，不要被其他變數干擾，比如有些學生會想同時測量的行人流量。 B：確實如此。順便問一下，Ingrid 博士，我們應該預約系上的動力岩芯鑽孔機嗎？這可以幫我們省去很多體力挖掘工作。 A：等等，那台機器不是壞掉了嗎？ C：實際上，它上週已經修好了。但問題是，那台機器對你們特定的樣區破壞性太大了。松林裡有屬於保護級野生蕨類的敏感淺根系統。笨重的動力鑽孔機會切斷這些根並造成永久性損傷。你們必須改用手動土鑽。 B：好的，那就用手動土鑽。我們當然不想傷害任何原生植物。 A：我同意。回顧我們上週五做的初步研究……我對我們收集樣本的方式有點擔心。當時天氣非常熱，導致表土非常乾燥，但這只是我們無法控制的自然因素。我最擔心的是，我們在短短兩公尺的半徑內採集了全部五個樣本。這根本無法真實反映該地區的情況。 B：妳說得完全正確。幸好我們使用了密封夾鏈袋，所以水分流失不是問題，但我們下週絕對需要把採樣點分散得更開。 C：是的，更寬的網格是必不可少的。那如果週二下雨，你們的備案是什麼？大雨會嚴重改變地表營養物含量。 A：嗯，如果是毛毛雨，我們會繼續工作並記錄降雨量。但如果是傾盆大雨，我們不能直接在樣區上鋪塑膠布，因為那會改變自然地表逕流。 B：我們也無法承擔將整個計畫延後一週的代價。因此，如果下大雨，我們就先在車裡等雨停，等第二天早上土壤穩定後再進行採集。 A：沒錯，所以如果週二天氣變差，我們就推遲到週三早上。 C：這聽起來是個合理的應變計畫。現在，安全和額外裝備呢？保護區有嚴格的規定。 B：我們需要自己帶反光背心嗎？ C：不用，護管員其實會在入口處提供。安全帽也不需要，因為那裡沒有陡峭的懸崖或落石危險。但請記住，山谷中完全沒有手機訊號，所以你們無法在手機上使用線上地圖。你們必須隨身攜帶一張紙本的公園地圖。 A：我今晚會列印一份紙本地圖。那拍攝土壤層的照片呢？我們應該帶系上的數位相機嗎？ B：嗯，可以是可以，但它的電池續航力很差。既然我們需要拍相當多的照片，我想最好直接用我們的智慧型手機。我有一個大容量的行動電源，我們可以帶去用來維持整天充足的電量。 A：這個安排好多了。我會確保行動電源充飽電，也會列印地圖。我們都準備好了！

Good morning, everyone. Today we are examining the integration of haptic technology—that is, technology that simulates the sense of touch—into remote physical rehabilitation. Now, while virtual reality has long been used for visual guidance, adding tactile feedback represents a massive leap forward. Some early commentators suggested this would triple equipment costs, but thanks to mass-produced microprocessors, the actual increase in setup expenses is barely fifteen percent, making it highly accessible. Let's look at a recent clinical trial led by my colleague, Mei-Ling. They monitored patient compliance during home-based wrist exercises. Interestingly, the trial did not just meet its initial conservative estimate that forty percent of patients would stay on track. In fact, while they had optimistically targeted eighty-five percent, the final analysis showed a solid seventy-two percent of participants fully adhered to the daily schedule, which is outstanding for unsupervised home care. A key element of these devices is customization. Rather than relying on rigid factory settings, the software automatically modifies the intensity based on real-time muscle fatigue, ensuring patients are never pushed to the point of pain. What truly surprised the research team, however, when evaluating the hand-tracking gloves, was how quickly older adults—who are often assumed to be technophobic—adapted to the glove's interface, even faster than some younger digital natives. Now, we also trialed a wearable chest sensor called the 'HeartBeat-Band'. This device wasn't just for safety; it actively helped by monitoring breathing rhythms to prevent overexertion, and additionally, it allowed patients to share their real-time progress reports directly with clinicians, eliminating the need for manual logs. Let's detail some specific hardware modalities. First, the 'FlexGlove' prototype uses miniature motors to actively oppose the wearer's finger movements, providing realistic resistance feedback to rebuild grip strength. In contrast, the 'AeroSleeve' system relies on small air bladders that inflate and deflate to deliver pneumatic pressure along the forearm, mimicking a therapist's firm grip. For temperature therapy, we have the 'ThermoSkin' patch. This uses thermoelectric modules to deliver rapid thermal stimulation, switching between warm and cool sensations within seconds to reduce joint inflammation. Finally, the 'WaveAir' projector is unique because it is entirely contactless; it emits high-frequency acoustic signals, creating localized ultrasonic waves that stimulate the skin's surface from a distance of up to half a meter. [Q31] Why is haptic technology viable for home rehabilitation today?

中文翻譯

大家早安。今天我們要探討如何將觸覺回饋技術——也就是模擬觸覺的技術——整合到遠距物理復健中。雖然虛擬實境長期以來一直被用於視覺引導，但加入觸覺回饋代表了一大躍進。雖然早期有些評論家指出這會使設備成本增加至三倍，但得益於量產的微處理器，實際增加的設置費用僅約百分之十五，使其變得非常容易負擔。讓我們來看看由我的同事美玲（Mei-Ling）所主導的一項近期臨床試驗。他們追蹤了患者在進行居家手腕運動時的配合度。有趣的是，試驗結果不僅達到了最初保守估計的百分之四十患者能持續練習的目標。事實上，雖然他們曾樂觀地將目標設定在百分之八十五，但最終的分析顯示，有高達百分之七十二的參與者完全遵循每日的行程規劃，這對於無人監督的居家照護來說是非常傑出的表現。這些設備的一個關鍵要素是客製化。軟體不會依賴僵化的出廠設定，而是會根據即時的肌肉疲勞程度自動調整強度，確保患者絕對不會運動到產生疼痛的程度。然而，在評估手部追蹤手套時，真正讓研究團隊感到驚訝的是，通常被認為抗拒科技的高齡者，適應手套介面的速度竟然如此之快，甚至比一些年輕的數位原住民還要快。另外，我們也試用了一款名為「HeartBeat-Band」的穿戴式胸部感測器。這款設備不僅僅是為了安全；它還能透過監測呼吸節奏來主動防止過度勞累，此外，它還能讓患者直接與臨床醫生分享即時進度報告，從而不再需要手寫記錄。接下來我們詳細介紹一些具體的硬體形式。首先，「FlexGlove」原型機利用微型馬達來主動抗衡佩戴者的手指動作，提供真實的阻力回饋以重建握力。相比之下，「AeroSleeve」系統則是依賴微型氣囊的充氣和放氣，沿著前臂提供氣壓，模擬物理治療師緊握的手感。在溫度療法方面，我們有「ThermoSkin」貼片。這款貼片使用熱電模組來提供快速的溫度刺激，能在幾秒鐘內切換冷熱感覺，以減輕關節發炎。最後，「WaveAir」投影器非常獨特，因為它完全是免接觸式的；它能發射高頻聲學訊號，在最遠半公尺的距離外產生局部超音波，來刺激皮膚表面。
