## 题目原文

00:00:00,640 
 Part two. 
 00:00:02,740 
 You will hear a guide talking to a group of tourists on an island off the coast of New Zealand. 
 00:00:10,200 
 First, you have some time to look at questions eleven to fourteen. 
 00:00:21,300 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to fourteen. 
 00:00:52,520 
 Well, morning, everyone, and welcome to Iwi Island. 
 00:00:56,589 
 The first thing I'll do is give you a bit more information about the island, then you can walk around by yourselves. 
 00:01:03,020 
 So, um, in terms of history, the first people to settle in New Zealand, the Maori people, were already living on the island when Europeans first arrived approximately two hundred years ago. 
 00:01:15,260 
 At that time, the Maori population was only two thousand or so, and it's thought that they got here around a thousand years ago based on the archaeological remains they left behind. 
 00:01:27,640 
 The main resource that Maori came here for was the well-stocked waters around the island which provided most of their food. 
 00:01:34,960 
 They also tried to grow potatoes, but the conditions here weren't as good as on the mainland. 
 00:01:40,720 
 The disadvantage for Maori was the shortage of trees on the island for building houses and canoes. 
 00:01:47,580 
 It's also important to remember that the island is sacred to the Maori people, so you need to behave respectfully near the archaeological sites. 
 00:01:55,720 
 It's absolutely fine to use a camera, and it's funny because some people think they need to whisper or be very quiet, but actually that's not important either. 
 00:02:04,540 
 But you really shouldn't consume food or even use your water bottle. That's not appropriate at the sites, but it's fine elsewhere. Also, keep a close eye on the time because once the last boat returns to the mainland, there's no way off the island. 
 00:02:19,900 
 Remember that the usual final sailing at six PM won't be going today because it's a public holiday. You'll need to be on the wharf at ten to five ready to board the five PM departure, and the trip takes about half an hour, so you'll be back in town at five thirty PM or so. 
 00:02:38,060 
 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions fifteen to twenty. 
 00:02:50,400 
 Now listen and answer questions fifteen to twenty. 
 00:03:21,780 
 Okay. Well, what I'd like to do next is, um, tell you about some of the archaeological sites on the island. So if you look at your map, 
 00:03:32,040 
 we are now right at the bottom of the map at the wharf where the ferry comes in. So the first place to mention is the fort. 
 00:03:41,380 
 To get there from the wharf, go up the path and take the first turning on the right. 
 00:03:47,300 
 Then you follow the path around behind Puka Bay, and you'll come to the fort at the end of the headland. 
 00:03:54,120 
 Now another interesting visit is to the Maori village. 
 00:03:58,360 
 From the wharf, go up the path to the shelter and keep going straight on. You'll pass the lookout on your right, and the village is just after that on the left. 
 00:04:08,960 
 If you only want a short walk, then a trip to the food storage pits is well worth it. 
 00:04:14,540 
 Take the path from the wharf, but then turn left down to Paradise Bay. 
 00:04:19,860 
 When you reach the beach, turn left again and the food storage pits are just along there by the sea. 
 00:04:26,780 
 A slightly longer walk is to the garden terraces. You need to go up to the shelter and then keep going straight but not too far. 
 00:04:35,760 
 Take the first turning on your right, and the garden terraces are on the coast overlooking the little island in Palm Bay. 
 00:04:43,300 
 Now, children especially will enjoy the gum diggers pits, though they are a reasonable walk. 
 00:04:49,800 
 You turn left just after the wharf, and when you reach the beach, turn right. Then you need to keep going straight. Don't turn left down to Indigo Bay, but keep going and you'll find them right down the other end of the island on the cliffs on the north coast. 
 00:05:07,060 
 Much closer is one of the oldest meeting houses in this part of the country. 
 00:05:12,040 
 You go up to the shelter and turn left, and it's directly in front of you. 
 00:05:17,420 
 Well now, if anyone has any questions, I'll be happy to pass- 
 00:05:24,500 
That is the end of part two. You now have thirty seconds to check your answers to part two.
