## 题目原文

00:00:01,200 
 Part one. 
 00:00:02,980 
 You will hear a telephone conversation between a woman and a park ranger. 
 00:00:08,720 
 First, you have some time to look at questions one to five. 
 00:00:37,620 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions one to five. 
 00:00:44,760 
 Almond Valley Poppy Reserve. May I help you? 
 00:00:47,500 
 Is the nature reserve open now? 
 00:00:49,920 
 Yes. We are actually open all year, although this is the best time of year to see the wildflowers. 
 00:00:56,360 
 Are the poppies blooming yet? 
 00:00:58,220 
 Absolutely. They started to bloom last week and are already beautiful, but they should peak and be in full bloom at the end of the month. 
 00:01:06,480 
 Oh. I was planning on coming at the end of this week. Is that too early? 
 00:01:11,740 
 No, not at all. The hills are already covered with orange poppies. 
 00:01:15,760 
 I thought poppies were red. 
 00:01:17,900 
 Not in California. I've never seen a red poppy here. 
 00:01:21,680 
 The Poppy Reserve is in Ocean County, right? 
 00:01:24,580 
 Right. From Lakeside, you'll need to drive about an hour east. 
 00:01:28,580 
 What time does the reserve open? 
 00:01:30,960 
 The reserve is open from sunrise to sunset. It's best to come early in the morning to beat the crowds, but for the best photography, you might want to consider a mid-afternoon visit on a weekday. 
 00:01:42,020 
 I heard that there are a lot of rattlesnakes in the desert. Is it dangerous to walk about? 
 00:01:48,100 
 Most wildlife is quite safe. There are very few people bitten by rattlesnakes, so we do recommend wearing trousers just to be on the safe side. 
 00:01:57,110 
 All right. I was hoping that I might have the chance to see some wildlife too. Oh, how much is the admission to the reserve? 
 00:02:05,820 
 It's five dollars. 
 00:02:07,360 
 Can I use my national park pass to enter the reserve? 
 00:02:10,920 
 Unfortunately not, since it is a state park, not a national park. 
 00:02:15,520 
 All right. 
 00:02:17,280 
 I heard from a friend that there is a nature tour available. Can you tell me about it? 
 00:02:22,380 
 Certainly. But can you excuse me just a sec? I'll be right back. 
 00:02:27,000 
 Okay. 
 00:02:31,000 
 Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions six to ten. 
 00:03:02,380 
 Now listen and answer questions six to ten. 
 00:03:09,100 
 Hello? 
 00:03:10,260 
 Yes, I'm still here. 
 00:03:12,300 
 Now, you are interested in the nature tours, right? 
 00:03:15,860 
 Oh, there's more than one? 
 00:03:18,020 
 Yes. We have the general tour, which is the one your friend may have taken, but we also have two more specialized tours. Starting at seven thirty AM is our general tour. That's early for some people, I know. It's offered every hour too. But it's a great time, and it only lasts thirty minutes. 
 00:03:36,660 
 Is that the tour that takes you to the vista points? 
 00:03:39,780 
 Yes. That is one of the highlights, along with a film introducing the park and the museum. You're welcome to tour the museum at your leisure. It's a great tour for those who just want to take panoramic pictures with automatic cameras. 
 00:03:52,580 
 Well, if I come all that way, I'd like to have a more detailed tour. 
 00:03:57,780 
 Then you are in luck because we have a wonderful wildflower tour every two hours from eight AM. It lasts one hour, and the volunteer will give you information about many of the flowers on the reserve. 
 00:04:09,680 
 Besides the poppies, will cream cups be in bloom? 
 00:04:13,380 
 Yes, and you will see lots of sage too. We have a volunteer who is really good at giving tips on close-up photography. 
 00:04:20,959 
 You mentioned another tour. 
 00:04:23,280 
 Yes. The last one is the wildlife tour, but it is offered at very limited times. 
 00:04:29,380 
 Is that because most of the wildlife is nocturnal? 
 00:04:32,840 
 Yes. So we offer this tour only two times, 5:30 AM or 7:00 PM. 
 00:04:38,900 
 Wow. That early? But don't the snakes and lizards like the sun? 
 00:04:44,340 
 Right. First, let me say it takes about an hour and a half, but you will have the opportunity to see other animals like coyotes, quail, and roadrunners. You have to get here before the crowds arrive or after most of them leave. 
 00:04:57,700 
 Well, that makes sense. Does it require a lot of walking? 
 00:05:02,300 
 More like a lot of standing, but most of the time you will be at one or two locations. So we recommend bringing a tripod and zoom lens if you want to take pictures. 
 00:05:12,180 
 Well, thank you very much. You've been extremely helpful and informative. 
 00:05:17,820 
 You're welcome. Glad I could be of service. 
 00:05:20,040 
 Goodbye. 
 00:05:21,020 
 Goodbye.
