听力填空

本听力材料来自于老托partb，partc，是公认实施有效的听写材料，对于上手托福时间不长的同学非常适合。我曾经一次短时间备考听力提高了7分也归功老托。希望大家和我一样一定要坚持下来噢。相信坚持学习的同学听力上都会有很大的飞跃！

Nopain, no gain.我们的安排是这样的，第一遍用听力软件精听材料（建议做单句听写，听写的时候不要偷看我给的挖空题），然后按照我给的挖空题填关键词，回复后即可看到听力原文和文章精解，我将把难点和易错点oneby one 分析给大家。

回复填空答案格式如下：1____2____3____...et.al.

I want to welcome each and every balloon ______ to Philadelphia. Thank you for coming here this morning to _______ the first balloon ______ in the United States. On January 9, 1793, at ten o'clock in the morning, a silk balloon lifted into the skies above this city, which was, at the time, the capital ofthe country.

According to the original records of the flight, the voyage lasted forty-sixminutes, from its departure in Philadelphia to its landing across the DelawareRiver in New Jersey. Though our pilots today will try to approximate theoriginal landing site, they're at the mercy of the winds, so who knows wherethey'll drift off to. Even the balloonist in 1793 experienced some uncertainweather that day. There were clouds, fog, and mist in various directions.
Our reenactment promises to be noting less than_______. The yellow balloondirectly behind me is five stories high. It's inflated with helium, unlike theoriginal, which was filled with hydrogen and, unbeknownst to the pilot,potentially______. Gas-filled models are pretty uncommon now because of theextremely high cost, so the eighty other balloons in today's launch are hot air,heated by propane burners. These balloons are from all over the country.

精解译文

【听力精解】

1. thank you for doing sth.感谢做某事，固定用法要记住

2. a silk balloon一个丝绸制的气球

3. last 直接加时间就能表示持续时间，不用加for

4. at the mercy of 是受支配的意思，这里表示尽管飞行员尽力按照原来航线走，但热气球要收到风的支配

5. inflated with helium 它充满了氦气，不像原始那个充满氢气

6. propane burners 燃烧丙烷，这篇文章里有许多化学词汇，觉得大家需要掌握基本常用几个比如氦气、氢气、氮气，其他的多看看，在文章里最好看了能知道是化学气体。

【参考译文】

我想每个气球爱好者欢迎到费城。感谢您的到来，今天上午，以纪念在美国的第一个气球航程。丝绸气球，1793年1月9日，在上午十点钟，吊装到上面这个城市的上空，这是，在当时，该国首都。

根据原来的飞行记录，航程历时四十分钟，从费城出发降落在新泽西州横跨特拉华河。虽然今天我们的飞行员将尝试近似原始的降落地点，他们在风的摆布，所以谁知道他们会昏昏的。即使是在1793年的热气球经历了一些不确定的天气的那一天。有云，雾，薄雾，在各个方向。
我们的的重演承诺要少提比壮观。直接在我身后的黄色气球是五层高。它用氦气膨胀，不像原来，这是充满氢气，并不知情的试点，潜在的爆炸性。充气模型是非常少见的，因为现在成本极高，所以今天推出的其他八十气球热空气，丙烷燃烧器加热。这些气球是从全国各地。

祝大家每天进步一点点！
