Listening 2026-05 Test 3

==================== IELTS Listening Transcript ==================== PART 1 Speaker 0: Section one: You will hear a man telephoning an insurance company. Speaker 0: First, you have some time to look at questions one to seven. Speaker 0: You will see that there is an example that has been done for you. On this occasion only, the conversation relating to this will be played first. Speaker 0: Court and Insurance, new claims department. Can I take your name, please? Speaker 1: Yes. It's Andrew Smith. Speaker 0: The man's name is Andrew Smith. So Smith has been written in the space. Speaker 0: Now we shall begin. You should answer the questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording a second time. Listen carefully and answer questions one to seven. Speaker 0: Court and Insurance, new claims department. Can I take your name, please? Speaker 1: Yes. It's Andrew Smith. Speaker 0: Hello, Mr. Smith. And do you have the number of your policy, please? Speaker 1: Yeah. WX717435T. Speaker 0: And for security, can you just give me your email address as well? Speaker 1: Yes. It's asmith@fastmail.com. Speaker 0: And your date of birth too, please? Speaker 1: 30th April 1972. Speaker 0: Thank you, Mr. Smith. You're speaking to Monica. How can I help you today? Speaker 1: Well, I want to see if I can make a claim under my household insurance policy. Speaker 0: Have you made any previous claims in the last three years? Speaker 1: Oh, someone did steal my mobile phone, but no. That was four years ago. Okay. But my bike was stolen last year. Speaker 0: And did you claim for that? Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 0: What are you claiming for this time? Speaker 1: It's for my laptop. It's broken. Speaker 0: Okay. Now can you tell me where you bought it? Speaker 1: Compucane. It's just a small shop. Speaker 0: How do you spell that? Speaker 1: C-O-M-P-U-C-A-N. Speaker 0: And have you still got the receipt? Speaker 1: No. I'm afraid not. Speaker 0: What would you say is the present value of the item? Speaker 1: Well, I paid £700 for it two years ago. Speaker 0: So I'll put £560. We take off 10% per year. That's £70 for two years. Okay. Right. So can you describe the damage to the laptop? Speaker 1: Well, I can switch it on and stuff comes up on the screen, but I can't type anything in. So it must be the keyboard that's broken. Speaker 0: Have you tried to get it fixed? Speaker 1: No. But my sister's had a look at it. She knows a lot about computers, and she says it's probably not worth the cost of repairing. Speaker 0: And did you use the laptop for work? Speaker 1: I've actually got a different one for work. This one's just for the family. Speaker 0: Okay. Thank you. Speaker 0: Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions eight to ten. Speaker 0: Now listen and answer questions eight to ten. Speaker 0: Now, I need to take some details about the actual incident that caused the damage. Where did the incident happen? Speaker 1: It was during the rush hour. I was going to a friend's house. Speaker 0: Were you traveling by car? Speaker 1: No. I was on a train. I put the laptop down next to me. On the seat, not on the floor. Speaker 0: That's right. So did it fall onto the floor? Speaker 1: Actually, someone was trying to get a box down from the luggage rack and dropped it on the laptop. I thought it would be okay because it was in a laptop case, but it wasn't, unfortunately. Speaker 0: Right. Well, before we do anything else, there's some action that I need to ask you to take. So what you need to do is to get the laptop seen by a recognized dealer. Ask them to make a report telling us whether it can be repaired or if it needs replacing. Speaker 1: Okay. Have you got a list of dealers in my area? Speaker 0: That is the end of section one. You now have half a minute to check your answers. PART 2 Speaker 0: Now turns to part two. Speaker 2: You will hear a talk on New Zealand radio about an art sale which is being held to raise money for charity. Speaker 2: First you have some time to look at questions 11 to 13, on page 10. Speaker 2: Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 13. Speaker 3: One of the most anticipated art events in Christchurch is the charity art sale organised this year by Neil Curtis. Neil, tell us all about it. Speaker 4: Well, Diane, this looks like being the biggest art sale yet. And the best thing about it is that the money raised will all go to charity. So what you probably want to know first is where it is. Well, the pictures will be on view all this week, most of them at the Star Gallery in the shopping mall. But we have so many pictures this year that we're also showing some in the cafe next door. So do drop in and see them any day between nine and five. Now, if you're interested in buying rather than just looking, and we hope a lot of you will be, the actual sale will take place on Thursday evening with sales starting at 7:30. Refreshments will be available before the sale starting at 6:30. We've got about 50 works by local artists showing a huge range of styles and media, and in a minute I'll tell you about some of them. You're probably also interested in what's going to happen to your money once you've handed it over. Well, all proceeds will go to support children who are disabled, both here in New Zealand and also in other countries, so you can find an original painting, support local talent, and help these children all at the same time. Speaker 2: Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 14 to 20 on page 11. Speaker 2: Now listen and answer questions 14 to 20. Speaker 4: Now let me tell you a bit about some of the artists who have kindly agreed to donate their pictures to the charity art sale. One of them is Don Studley, who has a special interest in the art sale because his five-year-old daughter was born with a serious back problem. After an operation earlier this year, she's now doing fine, but Don says he wants to offer something to help other less fortunate children. Don is totally self-taught and says he's passionate about painting. His paintings depict some of our New Zealand birds in their natural habitats. One relative newcomer to New Zealand is James Chang, who came here from Taiwan nine years ago at the age of 56. Mr. Chang had 13 exhibitions in Taiwan before he came to live here in Christchurch, so he's a well-established artist, and art has been a lifelong passion for him. His paintings are certainly worth looking at. If you like abstract pictures with strong colour schemes, you'll love them. Natalie Stevens was born in New Zealand, but is exhibited in China, Australia and Spain. As well as being an artist, she's a website designer. She believes art should be universal, and her paintings use soft colours and a mixture of media. Most of her pictures are portraits, so watch out. Some of them may even be friends of yours. And then we have Christine Shin from Korea. Christine only started to learn English two years ago when she arrived in New Zealand, but she's been painting professionally for over ten years, and she sure knows how to communicate strong messages through the universal language of art. She usually works from photographs and paints delicate watercolours, which combine traditional Asian influences with New Zealand landscapes, giving a very special view of our local scenery. Well, that's all I have time to tell you now. But as well as these four, there are many other artists whose work will be on sale, so do come along on Thursday. We accept cheques, credit cards or cash. And remember, even if you don't buy a picture, you can always make a donation. Speaker 0: That is the end of part two. Speaker 2: You now have half a minute to check your answers. PART 3 Speaker 5: Section three. You will hear a discussion between two students called Mark and Fran about their presentation on some dolphins which are unique to New Zealand. Speaker 5: First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24 on page five. Speaker 5: Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24. Speaker 6: Hi, Mark. Thanks for coming around. Speaker 7: Hi, Fran. No problem. We need to try and get this presentation finished. Speaker 6: Mark, let's start with the way dolphins make sounds. Speaker 7: Well, we all know that dolphins make clicking noises to communicate. Speaker 6: Yes. They have tongues and larynxes as humans do, but what's really strange about the dolphin is that the sounds are focused through an extraordinary organ called the melon, which most other sea mammals don't have. Speaker 7: So shall I take over from there and speak about the different dolphin types? I want to share what we found out about those rare dolphins that are special just to New Zealand in particular. Speaker 6: Yeah. Great. Put the emphasis on them. The rarest of all is the Hector's dolphin, isn't it? They are endangered, aren't they? I think that's mainly because so many of them get tangled up in fishing gear, especially gill nets, and die. I know that some conservationists are worried about the impact of the tourism industry on dolphin numbers, but I don't think that's a problem yet here. Also, remember that this species has a very long reproductive cycle, so their numbers don't get replenished quickly. Speaker 7: Yeah, that's really sad. But at least the New Zealand government established a sanctuary for them, didn't it? The fishing industry was against it, but I remember reading that the general public were very supportive of the decision. It was a consequence of a study done by some marine biologists. Having a protected breeding area has made a big difference to the dolphin population already. Speaker 6: Yeah. I think their numbers have swelled to over 7,000 in total, with a tiny group of just 89 living down off Southland, nearly 2,000 living near Christchurch on the East Coast, and the biggest group surviving off the West Coast. It's pretty wild country over there, so I guess there aren't as many tourists and fishermen to disturb them. Speaker 5: Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30 on page six. Speaker 5: Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30. Speaker 6: Okay. So how do you suggest I structure my part of the talk? Speaker 7: Well, you could start with the common dolphin, which inhabits the whole of the sea around New Zealand. And once you've covered everything to do with them feeding and so on, you could go on to the more unusual types. The dusky dolphin is especially interesting because you know how all the dolphins travel in small social groups called pods? Well, the dusky dolphins travel in pods as big as 800 members. And I think the duskies like to travel along beside fishing and tourist boats, don't they? Whereas the Hector's dolphins are different in that they prefer to go in the wake of boats, that is coming along in the rear. Speaker 6: Yeah. They do. But they also dive down deep to avoid fast boats. Speaker 7: Oh, let's not forget the Maui because they are endangered too, aren't they? There are only 150 of them left, and they inhabit only the western coastal waters off the North Island of New Zealand. Speaker 6: Yeah. It's a pity. They also face problems because of their tiny size. Now, the orca is actually a dolphin too. Right? Speaker 7: Yes, surprisingly. So I'll include that in my talk. People call them killer whales, but in fact, they're not whales. They're a huge and very fierce type of dolphin. In New Zealand, Kaikoura in the South Island is the best place to spot orcas swimming by, so people mistakenly think that's where they live. But actually, orcas cover vast distances. Speaker 6: Let's not forget to mention the bottlenose. It's bigger than nearly all the other dolphins, even the common dolphin. Speaker 7: Oh, but still not as big as the orca. Right? Speaker 6: That's right. Speaker 7: Well, I think that's our presentation done now. Speaker 5: That is the end of section three. You now have half a minute to check your answers. PART 4 Speaker 8: Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40. Speaker 8: Good morning. We're really pleased that our university is going to hold a concert featuring the music of the Italian composer Salvatore Sciarrino. He's considered one of the leading composers of modern classical music in Europe. His music is highly unusual. So in order to prepare you for this concert, I'm going to talk about his life and music. First, some biographical details. Salvatore Sciarrino was born in the Italian city of Palermo in 1947. Though he did receive some music lessons, he is mainly self-taught as a composer. After a few years of university in his home city, he moved to Rome in 1969, where he studied electronic music. This experience served as a turning point in the development of Sciarrino as a composer. Turning to his work, he composed a great deal in the nineteen seventies and was a music teacher until 1982. Apart from composing music and teaching, he has also produced a large number of essays on a range of topics, such as the philosophy behind his work and musical form. Throughout his career, he has won numerous prestigious awards, most notably a major prize in 2011, which recognized his musical originality. So you could say that he is one of the most important composers of our times. Now I'll talk about the characteristics of his music, which some people are a bit surprised by. The first thing that many listeners will notice about Sciarrino's music is the frequent use of silence. What is also striking about his music is his preference for extremely soft sounds that are sometimes at such a low volume that they can hardly be heard. The other unusual aspect of his music is that he frequently requires musicians to play their instruments in unconventional ways so that, for example, a violin may end up sounding very strange and creating sounds we generally associate with nature. Actually, his novel instrumental techniques have often been imitated by other composers. As a result, he's widely regarded as a pioneer in terms of creating new sounds. It may sound strange, but Sciarrino himself has likened his music to a volcano viewed from afar. As you'll see, it builds up slowly to an exciting climax. Let's move on to talk about the particular piece that we'll hear at the concert. Many people consider it to be his finest work to date. It's an immense piece of music for piano, chorus, and orchestra that was completed in 1979. The work is dedicated to a friend who died unexpectedly, so it was written as a kind of memorial. In many ways, it is representative of his work as a whole in terms of the sound that it creates. It's technically formidable, and it's a very challenging piece for musicians to play. The piece opens with a low sound of great complexity that is similar to thunder. This low-pitched noise is sustained almost uninterrupted for forty-five minutes, which may sound quite boring, but I found it to be very haunting and atmospheric. The sound, by the way, is created by large vibrating sheets of metal, which are slowly manipulated by two percussionists. There are very quiet and strange chords produced by string instruments and very complex piano melodies that quietly appear and then disappear. Even though the piece will be, for many people, very unusual in terms of the sounds it creates, it actually has a very conventional structure, which is just another surprising aspect of Sciarrino's work. Now let's move on to another work. Speaker 8: That is the end of part four. You now have one minute to check your answers to part four. ==================== Chinese Translation ==================== 第一部分 Speaker 0: 第一部分：你将听到一名男子给保险公司打电话。 Speaker 0: 首先，你有时间看一下第一到第七题。 Speaker 0: 你会看到一个已经为你完成的示例。仅此一次，相关的对话会先播放一遍。 Speaker 0: 法院与保险公司，新理赔部。请问您的姓名？ Speaker 1: 是的，我叫安德鲁·史密斯。 Speaker 0: 这名男子叫安德鲁·史密斯。所以史密斯已经填在空格里了。 Speaker 0: 现在正式开始。你应该边听边答题，因为录音不会播放第二遍。请仔细听，并回答第一到第七题。 Speaker 0: 法院与保险公司，新理赔部。请问您的姓名？ Speaker 1: 是的，我叫安德鲁·史密斯。 Speaker 0: 你好，史密斯先生。请问您的保单号码是多少？ Speaker 1: 好的，是 WX717435T。 Speaker 0: 为了安全起见，您能也提供一下您的电子邮件地址吗？ Speaker 1: 好的，是 asmith@fastmail.com。 Speaker 0: 还有您的出生日期？ Speaker 1: 1972年4月30日。 Speaker 0: 谢谢，史密斯先生。我是莫妮卡。今天有什么可以帮您的？ Speaker 1: 嗯，我想看看我能不能根据我的家庭财产保险提出索赔。 Speaker 0: 在过去三年里，您有没有提出过任何索赔？ Speaker 1: 哦，有人偷过我的手机，但那是四年前的事了。好吧。但是去年我的自行车被偷了。 Speaker 0: 您当时索赔了吗？ Speaker 1: 是的。 Speaker 0: 这次您要索赔什么？ Speaker 1: 是我的笔记本电脑。它坏了。 Speaker 0: 好的。您能告诉我您是在哪里买的吗？ Speaker 1: Compucane。就是一家小店。 Speaker 0: 怎么拼写？ Speaker 1: C-O-M-P-U-C-A-N。 Speaker 0: 您还保留着收据吗？ Speaker 1: 没有，恐怕没有了。 Speaker 0: 您认为这件物品现在的价值是多少？ Speaker 1: 嗯，我两年前花了700英镑买的。 Speaker 0: 那我写560英镑。我们每年扣除10%的价值。两年就是140英镑。好的。那么，您能描述一下笔记本电脑的损坏情况吗？ Speaker 1: 嗯，我可以开机，屏幕上也有显示，但我什么都输入不了。所以肯定是键盘坏了。 Speaker 0: 您试过找人修吗？ Speaker 1: 没有。但我姐姐看过。她非常懂电脑，她说可能不值得花钱去修。 Speaker 0: 您用这台笔记本电脑工作吗？ Speaker 1: 我实际上有另一台工作用的。这台只是给家里用的。 Speaker 0: 好的，谢谢。 Speaker 0: 在听剩下的对话之前，你有时间看一下第八到第十题。 Speaker 0: 现在请听并回答第八到第十题。 Speaker 0: 现在，我需要了解一些关于造成损坏的具体事件的细节。事件发生在哪里？ Speaker 1: 是在交通高峰期。我当时正要去一个朋友家。 Speaker 0: 您是开车去的吗？ Speaker 1: 不是，我坐火车。我把笔记本电脑放在我旁边。放在座位上，不是地上。 Speaker 0: 好的。那它是掉到地上了吗？ Speaker 1: 实际上，是有人想从行李架上拿一个箱子，结果箱子掉下来砸到了笔记本电脑上。我以为放在电脑包里会没事，但不幸的是，还是坏了。 Speaker 0: 好的。在我们做任何其他事情之前，我需要您采取一些行动。您需要找一家认可的经销商检查一下笔记本电脑。让他们出具一份报告，告诉我们它是否可以修理，或者是否需要更换。 Speaker 1: 好的。您有我所在地区的经销商名单吗？ Speaker 0: 第一部分到此结束。你现在有半分钟时间检查你的答案。 第二部分 Speaker 0: 现在进入第二部分。 Speaker 2: 你将听到一段新西兰电台的谈话，内容是关于一场为慈善筹款而举办的艺术品拍卖会。 Speaker 2: 首先，你有时间看一下第11到13题，在第10页。 Speaker 2: 现在请仔细听，并回答第11到13题。 Speaker 3: 基督城最受期待的艺术活动之一是由尼尔·柯蒂斯今年组织的慈善艺术品拍卖会。尼尔，给我们讲讲吧。 Speaker 4: 好的，黛安。这看起来将是迄今为止规模最大的一次艺术品拍卖。最棒的是，筹集的资金将全部捐给慈善机构。所以你可能首先想知道的是地点。嗯，这些画作将在本周展出，大部分在购物中心的明星画廊。但今年我们收到的画作太多了，所以也在隔壁的咖啡馆展示一部分。所以请务必在每天上午9点到下午5点之间去看看。现在，如果你有兴趣购买而不仅仅是观看——我们希望很多人会买——正式拍卖将在周四晚上举行，晚上7点30分开始。拍卖会前从6点30分开始提供茶点。我们有大约50件当地艺术家的作品，展示了各种各样的风格和媒介，稍后我会介绍其中的一些。你可能还想知道你的钱捐出去后会用来做什么。所有收益将用于支持残疾儿童，无论是在新西兰还是在其他国家。所以你可以找到一幅原创画作，支持本地人才，同时帮助这些孩子。 Speaker 2: 在听剩下的谈话之前，你有时间看一下第11页的第14到20题。 Speaker 2: 现在请听并回答第14到20题。 Speaker 4: 现在让我介绍一下一些慷慨同意为慈善艺术品拍卖会捐赠画作的艺术家。其中一位是唐·斯塔德利，他对这次拍卖会特别感兴趣，因为他五岁的女儿出生时就患有严重的背部问题。今年早些时候手术后，她现在恢复得很好，但唐说他希望提供一些帮助来帮助其他不那么幸运的孩子。唐完全是自学成才，他说他对绘画充满热情。他的画作描绘了我们新西兰的一些鸟类在自然栖息地中的情景。另一位相对较新的新西兰人是詹姆斯·张，他九年前从台湾来到这里，当时56岁。张先生在来基督城定居之前在台湾举办过13次展览，所以他是一位成熟的艺术家，艺术是他一生的热爱。他的画作绝对值得一看。如果你喜欢色彩强烈的抽象画，你会爱上它们。娜塔莉·史蒂文斯出生在新西兰，但在中国、澳大利亚和西班牙举办过展览。除了是一名艺术家，她还是一名网站设计师。她相信艺术应该是普世的，她的画作使用柔和的色彩和混合媒介。她的大部分画作都是肖像画，所以要注意了，其中一些甚至可能是你的朋友。然后我们有来自韩国的克里斯汀·申。克里斯汀两年前刚到新西兰时才开始学习英语，但她已经专业绘画十多年了，她非常懂得如何通过艺术这种通用语言来传达强烈的信息。她通常根据照片作画，画的是精致的水彩画，融合了传统的亚洲影响和新西兰的风景，为我们当地的景色提供了非常独特的视角。好了，我现在只能介绍这么多了。但除了这四位，还有很多其他艺术家的作品也会出售，所以周四一定要来。我们接受支票、信用卡或现金。请记住，即使你不买画，也随时可以捐款。 Speaker 0: 第二部分到此结束。 Speaker 2: 你现在有半分钟时间检查你的答案。 第三部分 Speaker 5: 第三部分。你将听到两名学生马克和弗兰的讨论，内容是关于他们关于新西兰特有海豚的演示报告。 Speaker 5: 首先，你有时间看一下第5页的第21到24题。 Speaker 5: 现在请仔细听，并回答第21到24题。 Speaker 6: 嗨，马克。谢谢你能来。 Speaker 7: 嗨，弗兰。没问题。我们得想办法把这个演示报告做完。 Speaker 6: 马克，我们从海豚发声的方式开始吧。 Speaker 7: 嗯，我们都知道海豚会发出咔嗒声来交流。 Speaker 6: 是的。它们和人类一样有舌头和喉头，但海豚真正奇特的地方在于，声音是通过一个叫做“瓜状体”的特殊器官聚焦的，而大多数其他海洋哺乳动物没有这个器官。 Speaker 7: 那么我从这里接下去，谈谈不同种类的海豚好吗？我想分享我们发现的关于那些新西兰特有的稀有海豚的信息。 Speaker 6: 好的，太好了。重点讲它们。最稀有的是赫氏海豚，对吧？它们是濒危物种，不是吗？我认为主要是因为它们中有很多被渔具缠住，特别是刺网，然后死掉。我知道一些环保人士担心旅游业对海豚数量的影响，但我认为在这里还不是问题。另外，请记住，这个物种的繁殖周期非常长，所以它们的数量不会很快得到补充。 Speaker 7: 是的，这真的很可悲。但至少新西兰政府为它们建立了一个保护区，不是吗？渔业界反对，但我记得读到过公众非常支持这个决定。这是一些海洋生物学家研究的结果。拥有一个受保护的繁殖区已经对海豚数量产生了很大的影响。 Speaker 6: 是的。我认为它们的总数已经增加到超过7000头，其中只有一小群89头生活在南地附近，大约2000头生活在东海岸的基督城附近，而最大的群体则生活在西海岸。那边是相当荒凉的地区，所以我想没有那么多游客和渔民去打扰它们。 Speaker 5: 在听剩下的讨论之前，你有时间看一下第6页的第25到30题。 Speaker 5: 现在请听并回答第25到30题。 Speaker 6: 好的。那么你建议我如何组织我那一部分的演讲呢？ Speaker 7: 嗯，你可以从普通海豚开始，它们栖息在新西兰周围的整个海域。一旦你讲完了它们觅食等所有相关内容，你就可以继续讲更不寻常的种类。暗色斑纹海豚特别有趣，因为你知道所有海豚都是以称为“群”的小型社会群体旅行的吗？嗯，暗色斑纹海豚的群体可以多达800名成员。而且我认为暗色斑纹海豚喜欢沿着渔船和旅游船旁边游，不是吗？而赫氏海豚则不同，它们更喜欢跟在船的尾流中，也就是从后面跟上来。 Speaker 6: 是的，它们确实如此。但它们也会下潜到深处以躲避快艇。 Speaker 7: 哦，别忘了毛伊海豚，因为它们也濒临灭绝，不是吗？它们只剩下150头了，而且只栖息在新西兰北岛西部的沿海水域。 Speaker 6: 是的，真可惜。它们还因为体型太小而面临问题。现在，虎鲸实际上也是一种海豚，对吧？ Speaker 7: 是的，令人惊讶。所以我会把它包括在我的演讲里。人们叫它们杀人鲸，但实际上它们不是鲸鱼。它们是一种巨大且非常凶猛的海豚。在新西兰，南岛的凯库拉是观赏虎鲸游过的最佳地点，所以人们错误地认为它们就生活在那里。但实际上，虎鲸的活动范围非常广。 Speaker 6: 别忘了提一下宽吻海豚。它比几乎所有其他海豚都大，甚至比普通海豚还大。 Speaker 7: 哦，但还是没有虎鲸大，对吧？ Speaker 6: 没错。 Speaker 7: 好了，我想我们的演示报告现在完成了。 Speaker 5: 第三部分到此结束。你现在有半分钟时间检查你的答案。 第四部分 Speaker 8: 现在请仔细听，并回答第31到40题。 Speaker 8: 早上好。我们非常高兴我们大学将举办一场音乐会，演奏意大利作曲家萨尔瓦托雷·夏里诺的作品。他被认为是欧洲现代古典音乐的主要作曲家之一。他的音乐非常独特。为了让你们为这场音乐会做好准备，我将谈谈他的生平和音乐。首先，是一些生平细节。萨尔瓦托雷·夏里诺1947年出生于意大利城市巴勒莫。虽然他确实上过一些音乐课，但他作为作曲家主要是自学成才。在他的家乡城市上了几年大学后，他于1969年搬到了罗马，在那里学习了电子音乐。这段经历成为夏里诺作为作曲家发展的一个转折点。谈到他的作品，他在20世纪70年代创作了大量作品，并一直担任音乐教师直到1982年。除了作曲和教学，他还撰写了大量关于各种主题的文章，例如他作品背后的哲学和音乐形式。在他的整个职业生涯中，他赢得了无数著名奖项，最引人注目的是2011年的一项大奖，该奖项表彰了他的音乐原创性。所以你可以说他是我们这个时代最重要的作曲家之一。现在我将谈谈他音乐的特点，有些人对此感到有些惊讶。许多听众首先会注意到夏里诺音乐的特点是频繁使用静默。他的音乐另一个引人注目的特点是他偏爱极其轻柔的声音，有时音量低到几乎听不见。他音乐的另一个不寻常之处在于，他经常要求音乐家以非常规的方式演奏他们的乐器，例如，小提琴最终可能听起来非常奇怪，并创造出我们通常与自然联系在一起的声音。事实上，他新颖的器乐技巧经常被其他作曲家模仿。因此，他被广泛认为是创造新声音的先驱。这可能听起来很奇怪，但夏里诺本人将他的音乐比作远处眺望的火山。正如你将听到的，它会慢慢积累，达到一个激动人心的高潮。让我们继续谈谈我们将在音乐会上听到的那首特定作品。许多人认为这是他迄今为止最好的作品。这是一首为钢琴、合唱团和管弦乐队创作的宏大乐曲，于1979年完成。这部作品是献给一位意外去世的朋友的，所以它是作为一种纪念而创作的。从许多方面来看，就其所创造的声音而言，它代表了他整个作品的特点。它在技术上要求很高，对音乐家来说是一首非常有挑战性的曲子。这首曲子以一个非常复杂、类似于雷声的低沉声音开始。这种低沉的噪音几乎不间断地持续了四十五分钟，这听起来可能很无聊，但我发现它非常令人难忘且富有氛围。顺便说一下，这种声音是由两块巨大的振动金属板产生的，由两名打击乐手缓慢地操控。弦乐器奏出非常安静而奇特的和弦，以及非常复杂的钢琴旋律，它们悄然出现，然后又消失。尽管对许多人来说，这首曲子在其创造的声音方面非常不寻常，但它实际上有一个非常传统的结构，这只是夏里诺作品另一个令人惊讶的方面。现在让我们继续讨论另一部作品。 Speaker 8: 第四部分到此结束。你现在有一分钟时间检查你第四部分的答案。
