First, you have some time to look at questions eleven to sixteen on page three. 00:00:50,440 Now listen carefully and answer questions eleven to sixteen. 00:00:58,660 Greetings, all you listeners out there. This is National Radio, and I'm Kevin Lowe. 00:01:04,379 This morning, I'm going to tell you what's so special about the laid-back city of Gisborne. You'll hear a little bit about its past in the old days and a lot about what attractions it has to offer foreign and domestic visitors today. 00:01:18,620 So listen up to learn more about what there is to do in this city and its surrounding region, where the economy is booming, but the lifestyle remains unspoiled. 00:01:29,830 The Gisborne region is where the legendary canoe sailed by Maori explorers first landed in New Zealand about fourteen hundred years ago after its long and risky voyage over the sea. 00:01:42,880 It is also the easternmost point of the country, which is what inspired its original name, Te Tairāwhiti, which in the Maori language means the coast where the sun rises across the waters. 00:01:58,120 Gisborne was also the place where the European explorer, Captain Cook, first landed his boat upon discovering New Zealand all the way from England back in seventeen sixty-nine. 00:02:09,840 Even in those early days, this district was a center of horticulture thanks to its fertile soil and subtropical climate. 00:02:18,700 Soon after that, of course, the English settlers arrived, and soon Gisborne was shipping its products to larger settlements such as Auckland and Wellington. 00:02:29,480 This began with maize and root crops but quickly expanded to butter, meat, and wool from the agricultural settlements in the rich pastoral country near the famous Poverty Bay. 00:02:41,620 Wharves and jetties were built beside the sea to service the coastal traders. 00:02:47,020 Many of these wooden structures can still be seen on Gisborne beaches today. 00:02:52,660 Today, Gisborne continues to export fresh produce to other regions of New Zealand. 00:02:59,120 These wares include various award-winning cheeses and, of course, the delicious lobsters and snapper fish harvested by hand from the local reefs and waters. 00:03:10,620 As for exports to Asian markets, there's an increasing demand for the region's oranges and lemons. 00:03:17,780 Gisborne is also becoming well known nationally and internationally as the source of some top quality white and red grapes. 00:03:26,540 Now, what's on in Gisborne? Well, first up, there's the annual Gisborne Concert held every summertime. 00:03:35,120 This is a great experience. It's held at Waihiki Vineyard, which is near the traditional Maori meeting house, or marae, of the same name. 00:03:45,980 They bring in a piano player and opera singers who perform on a purpose-built stage in a kind of natural amphitheater in the middle of the rows of grapes. It's a fantastic concert-like atmosphere, a really good night out. 00:04:01,440 What to do on a rainy day? 00:04:03,740 I'd suggest a visit to the show called The Beach, which is on in Gallery One at Tairawhiti Museum. It's a big display, so it also takes up the hall next to Gallery One, and it's divided into different sections of the local culture like surfing, camping, fashion, and so on. If you buy the book of the exhibition, there are some interesting photographs in there. 00:04:30,880 Before you hear the rest of the program, you have some time to look at questions seventeen to twenty on page four. 00:04:43,640 Now listen and answer questions seventeen to twenty. 00:04:52,040 There's a lot else to see in Gisborne as well. 00:04:55,060 You shouldn't miss the Hot Springs Reserve, which has warm natural mineral pools and little houses where you can stay amongst the bush. 00:05:04,360 Being very secluded and private, this resort is most favored by newlyweds who often book a cabin for their honeymoon. 00:05:12,680 The water is very therapeutic too. It's apparently good for your health to bathe there, though not recommended for pregnant women or the elderly. 00:05:22,700 Around the corner is Mahia Peninsula, legendary as a New Year's Eve party destination for large crowds of university students after their graduation. 00:05:34,180 The surfing and fishing here is excellent, and it's a safe spot for swimming and diving too. Now, also good for kids is taking a raft or jet boat ride on the Motu River. This sounds quite wild, doesn't it? But in fact, this activity is often used by local primary schools who take big groups of young children, several classes at a time, out here for a bit of fun while they're on their school camp. No parents required. You can have some time out, as this activity is a lot safer than it sounds and is carefully supervised by the rafting company. 00:06:10,140 Finally, don't let's forget the Eden Woodlands Park, which is really a huge tree nursery. You can walk for hours here in the peaceful green surroundings along a variety of tracks. 00:06:23,410 There's even a very nice walkway made wide enough for those in wheelchairs so that everyone can go along and enjoy mother nature at her best. ## 题目与答案 ### 11. 11 The announcer says that the main topic of today`s talk will be Gisborne`s 11 The announcer says that the main topic of today`s talk will be Gisborne`s - tourism - economy - history **答案**：tourism 原文定位：This morning, I'm going to tell you what's so special about the laid-back city of Gisborne.
