1.雅思中级听写包:
The charity use sits money to support campaigns, for example for changes in fishing policy and so forth.
基金会用它的资金来支持一些运动,比如要求改变渔业政策的运动之类的。
It hopes soon to be able to employ its first full-time biologist with dolphin expertise to monitor populations.
我们希望不久之后就能雇佣到第一位具有海豚知识专长的生物学家,来监测海豚数量。
Of course, many people give their services on a voluntary basis and we now have volunteers working in observation office work and other things.
当然了,很多人都是以志愿者的身份加入到我们组织的,我们目前的观察工作、办公室工作和其他工作都有志愿者负责。
I should also tell you about the award we won from the Charity Commission last year for our work in education.
我还想告诉你们的是,去年我们在教育方面的工作获得了慈善委员会的嘉奖。
Although it's not meant an enormous amount of money for us, it has made our activities even more widely publicised and understood.
虽然这个奖并没有给我们带来巨额的金钱,但是它使我们的活动更加广为人知,大家对我们的工作也更加理解。
In the long term it may not bring in extra members but we're hoping it'll have this effect.
长期来看,它虽然不一定能帮我们吸引到新成员,但我们还是希望能有这个效果。
Is it possible to see dolphins in UK waters?
在英国的海域能看见海豚吗?
Yes. In several locations. And we have a big project in the east part of Scotland.
当然了,在好几个地点都能看见。而且我们基金会在苏格兰东海岸还有一个大项目。
This has long been a haven for dolphins because it has very little shipping.
苏格兰东海岸长期以来都是海豚的避风港,因为那里的船运并不是很发达。
However, that may be about to change soon because oil companies want to increase exploration there.
但是,这一点恐怕很快就要变了,因为石油公司想在那儿增加开采量。
We're campaigning against this because, although there'll be little pollution from oil, exploration creates a lot of underwater noise.
我们正在举行活动抗议该公司的这项举措,因为,虽然石油本身并没有多少污染,但是开采活动会在水下制造很多噪音。
It means the dolphins can't rest and socialise.
这样的话海豚就没办法休息和社交了。
This is how I became interested in dolphin conservation in the first place.
我最初是这么对海豚保护产生兴趣的。
I had never seen one and I hadn't been particularly interested in them at school.
我之前从没亲眼见过海豚,在学校的时候对它们也没有特别感兴趣。
Then I came across this story about a family of dolphins who had to leave their home in the Mora Firth because of the oil companies and about a child who campaigned to save them.
后来我无意中读到了一篇故事,一个海豚家族,由于受到石油公司的影响,不得不离开它们在Mora Firth的家,然后一个孩子为了救它们进行了抗议。
I couldn't put the book down I was hooked.
我对这本书着了迷,根本放不下来。

3.写作包答案:
中译英1:

中译英2:
Chinese idioms are a unique way of expression in Chinese, mostly composed of four characters. Although highly concise and fixed in form, they usually can convey profound meaning vividly. Most idioms are derived from ancient Chinese literary works and are usually related to some myths, legends or historical events. It is difficult to understand the exact meaning of an idiom without knowledge of its origin. Therefore, learning idioms helps people better understand Chinese traditional culture. Idioms are widely used in daily conversation and literary creation. Proper use of idioms can make one's language more expressive and communication more effective.
