剑桥雅思14 Test3 Section3听力答案解析
第21题答案：50
对应原文：Well the band has students in it from all years, so they’re aged 11 to 18, and there are about 50 of them altogether.
答案解析：第1题比较简单一些，从题干可以判断出空上应该填具体的数字，进而锁定50即可。
第22题答案：regional
对应原文：They aren’t really good enough to enter national band competitions, but they’re in a regional one later in the term.
答案解析：听到band competitions意识到答案即将到来，原文中否定了national，进而确定后面与之相对应的regional为答案。
第23题答案：carnival
对应原文：Well, now the town council’s organising a carnival in the summer, and the band has been asked to perform.
答案解析：这道题的难点有两个：一是carnival的拼写；二是原文采用老烤鸭雅思语序颠倒的手法，先说了答案，然后才提到与invited对应的asked，比较考验大家的短期记忆能力。
第24题答案：drummer
对应原文：I played a recording I came across, of a drummer talking about how playing in a band had changed his life.
答案解析：同样是语序颠倒的手法，将提示词talk的对应点放在答案之后，不过这次它与答案紧挨着出现，难度不算太大。
第25题答案：film
对应原文：I’m planning to show them that old film from the 1940s ‘Strike Up the Band’, and talk about it with the students.
答案解析：再一次是语序颠倒，而且提示词talk离答案还比较远，只能根据问答节奏来定位答案所在句子，并根据词性筛选出film。
第26题答案：parade
对应原文：I’m hoping I can take some of the band to a parade that’s going to take place next month.
答案解析：听到hoping意识到答案即将到来，虽然空前词attend在原文中没有明确对应的点，但根据词性和重读还是比较容易注意到parade的。
第27题答案：D
对应原文：There’s a flautist who says she loves playing in the band. We rehearse twice a week after school, but she’s hardly ever there
答案解析：长笛手的问题在于排练总是缺席。D选项misses too many rehearsals对应hardly ever there，由此确定为正确答案。
第28题答案：B
对应原文：There’s a trumpeter who thinks she’s the best musician in the band, though she certainly isn’t. She’s always saying what she thinks other people should do
答案解析：小号的问题在于太过自以为是，总是说着她觉得其他人应该怎么做。B选项suggestions对应saying what she thinks other people should do，unhelpful对应前面自以为是，由此确定为正确答案。
第29题答案：E
对应原文：he has breathing difficulties, and he doesn’t really have enough breath for the trombone
答案解析：长号手呼吸苦难，没有足够的气息吹奏长号。即存在健康问题，由此确定E为正确答案。
第30题答案：F
对应原文：but he never seems to interact with other people, and he always rushes off as soon as the rehearsal ends
答案解析：打击乐演奏者的问题在于不跟其他人交流，排练结束就立刻离开。对应F选项does not mix with other students，由此确定它为正确答案。
