## 题目原文

00:00:00,980 
 Part two. 
 00:00:02,880 
 You will hear a talk on the radio about a local festival called the Denford Festival. 
 00:00:09,620 
 First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15. 
 00:00:38,500 
 Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15. 
 00:00:45,800 
 I'd like to welcome Sam Goodwin to the program. He's one of the organizers of this year's Denford Festival. So, Sam, what can you tell us about what's happening this year? 
 00:00:58,100 
 Well, as usual, the festival will take place during the first weekend in August, and there will be things going on all over the town. There are a number of separate areas, each with their own special attraction and atmosphere. Let's start with Bridge Street. Local schoolchildren took part in a competition to paint pictures of the local landscape, and you'll be able to see all their work displayed here. 
 00:01:26,520 
 The winning entries have also been made into postcards that you can buy at one of the stalls. 
 00:01:33,080 
 At King's Park, we've built a climbing wall, and there'll also be an inflatable bouncy castle for kids to burn off excess energy. Both are going to be supervised by volunteer teachers at all times, so parents can go off and enjoy other parts of the festival. 
 00:01:52,520 
 There's a lot happening in Oakvale School. If you're over 18, there's an exciting contest to take part in here. 
 00:02:01,980 
 You'll have an hour to prepare your favorite food or dish, and the prizes will be presented by our special guest, the singer Maria Thompson. 
 00:02:13,420 
 On Green Road, we'll have some top local groups performing and singing throughout the day until 5:00, including the Denford Choir, who've just come back from a really successful tour of Australia and New Zealand. 
 00:02:29,600 
 And finally, I'll mention Sun Lane. 
 00:02:34,280 
 We want you to leave the festival with more than good memories and a full stomach, so we'd encourage everyone to go to Sun Lane, where we'll have a number of experts giving tips and advice on how to successfully grow your own fruit and vegetables. You never know, maybe next year we'll be showing your produce. 
 00:03:01,140 
 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20. 
 00:03:42,020 
 Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20. 
 00:03:48,900 
 Thank you, Sam. That all sounds really interesting. And you've got some practical information for us. 
 00:03:56,580 
 Yes. This year's festival will be bigger than ever, judging by ticket sales so far. Tickets can be purchased from our website or at the festival on the day, although those will cost a bit more. 
 00:04:12,420 
 The tickets give you free entry to most areas, although you do need to pay extra to get into some of the special events. 
 00:04:21,440 
 We're doing something different this year on the final evening of the festival. We usually have a big firework display, but it's proven too expensive this year. So instead, we're holding a dance for everyone who wants to come. 
 00:04:38,200 
 That's going to be in the local theater, where we'll clear away all the chairs to give us plenty of room. It should be great fun. 
 00:04:47,920 
 We're expecting a large number of international visitors, so you'll be hearing a lot of different languages around the festival this year. 
 00:04:57,020 
 And we've organized a help desk to advise people on finding accommodation if they need it. We'll also be offering day trips to points of interest in the region at very reasonable prices. 
 00:05:11,400 
 If you do decide to drive, there are two festival car parks, Car Park A to the north and Car Park B in the east. Car Park B is in the middle of town, so it usually fills up very quickly. 
 00:05:28,600 
 From Car Park A, there is a 15-minute walk along the river to the town center. It takes a little longer to get to the festival, but it's twice the size of B, and it's a nice flat walk. 
 00:05:44,300 
 There's one more change I'd like to tell you about. Last year, we sent out nearly 30,000 free programs with the tickets, and we're aware of both the cost and the environmental impact of this. 
 00:05:59,500 
 We looked into having an app instead, but that was too expensive. So in the end, we decided to put the program on our website and save that way. You'll still be able to pick up a hard copy at the festival if you want. 
 00:06:19,240 
 That is the end of part two. You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to part two.
