课后练习 2 真题20套 T12S2

听录音，在空格处填写正确的单词：

Greetings, all you listeners out there.
This is national radio and I'm Kevin Lye.
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 1

visitors today.
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.
The 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 2

over the sea. It is also the eastern most point of the country which is what inspired its original name which in the Maori language means “the coast where the sun rises across the waters”.
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 1769.
Even in those early days this district was a center of 3

thanks to its fertile soil and subtropical climate.
Soon after that of course the English settlers arrived and soon Gisborne was shipping its products to larger settlements such as Oakland and Wellington.
This began with maize and root crops but quickly expanded to butter, wheat and wool from the agricultural settlements in the rich pastoral country near the famous Poverty Bay.
Wharves and jetties were built beside the sea to service the coastal traders.
Many of these 4

can still be seen on Gisborne beaches today.
Today Gisborne continues to export fresh 5

to other regions of New Zealand.
These well include various award winning cheeses and of course the delicious lobsters and snapper fish harvested by hand from the local reefs and waters.
As for exports to Asian markets, there's an increasing demand for the region's oranges and lemons.
Gisborne is also becoming well-known nationally and internationally as the source of some top quality white and red 6

.
Now, What's on in Gisborne? Well, first up, there's the annual Gisborne concert held every summertime.
This is a great experience.
It's held at the Waiohika 7

... day? I'd suggest a visit to the show called The Beach, which is all in Gallery 1 at Tairawhiti museum.
It's a big display so it also takes up the hall next to Gallery 1 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 8

there are some interesting photographs in there.
There's a lot else to see in Gisborne as well.
You shouldn't miss the hot springs 9

which has warm natural mineral pools and little houses where you can stay amongst the bush.
Being very secluded and private, this 10

is most favored by newlyweds, who often book a cabin for their honeymoon.
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.
Around the corner is Ma Hiya Peninsula, legendary as a New Year's Eve 11

for large crowds of university students after their graduation.
The surfing and fishing here is excellent and it's a safe 12

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 are on this 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 13

company.
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 14
