I can’t figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves? M: Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask? Q: What does the man suggest the woman do? 12. W: I really enjoyed the TV special about drafts last night. Did you get home in time to see it? W: Oh, yes, but I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing. Q: What does the man mean? 13. W: Airport, please. I’m running a little late. So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct. M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game. Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation? 14. W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good. M: Thank you, but I don’t eat shellfish. I’m allergic to it. Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place? 15. W: now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most? M: Well, I’d like the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant. Q: What do we learn about the man? 16. M: I don’t think I want to live in the dormitory next year. I need more privacy. W: I know what you mean. But check out the cost if renting an apartment first. I won’t be surprised if you change your mind. Q: What does the woman imply? 17. M: You’re on the right track. I just think you need to narrow the topic down. W: Yeah, you’re right. I always start by choosing two boarder topics when I’m doing a research paper. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 18. W: This picnic should beat the last one we went to, doesn’t it? M: Oh, yeah, we had to spend the whole time inside. Good thing, the weather was cooperative this time. What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation? Long Conversation Conversation One M: When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons. W: The seasons? M: Yeah, you know how cold it is in winter? What is it like when the days are so short? W: So what is it like? M: Well, it is cold ,very cold in winter. Sometimes it is cold as 26 degrees below centigrade. And of course when you go out, you’ll wrap up warm. But inside in the houses it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home. Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter. W: And what about the darkness? M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really looks forward to the spring. It is sometimes a bit depressing. But you see the summers are amazing, from May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never sets. It’s still light in the midnight. You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper. W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun. M: Yeah, that’s right, but it’s wonderful. You won’t stay up all night. And the Swedes makes most of it often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings. They’d like to work hard, but play hard, too. I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure this is a good thing. Q19: What do we learn about the man from the conversation? Q20: What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter? Q21: How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden? Q21: What does the man say about the Swedish people? Conversation Two W: What kind of training does one need to go into this type of job? M: That’s a very good question. I don’t think there is any, specifically. W: For example, in your case, what was your educational background? M: Well, I did a degree in French at Nottingham. After that, I did careers work in secondary schools like the careers guidance people. Here is in the university. Then I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative side. Then progressed on to universities. So there wasn’t any plan and there was no specific training. There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now. W: But in the first place, you did a French degree. M: In my time, there wasn’t a degree you could do for administration. I think most of the administrators I’ve come across have degrees and all sorts of things. W: Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didn’t really expect to end up doing what I am doing now. M: Quite. W: But you are local to Nottingham, actually? Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University? M: No, no, I come from the north of England, from west Yorkshire. Nottingham was one of the universities I put on my list. And I like the look of it. The campus is just beautiful. W: Yes, indeed. Let’s see. Were you from the industrial part of Yorkshire? M: Yes, from the Woolen District. Q23. What was the man’s major at university? Q24: What was the man’s job in secondary schools? Q25: What attracted the man to Nottingham University? Section B Passage One While Gail Obcamp, an American artist was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused to see that many of her Japanese listeners have their eyes closed. Were they tuned off because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form or they deliberately tried to signal their rejection of her? Obcamp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful. Japanese listeners sometimes closed their eyes to enhance concentration. Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words. Some day you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of minority group in North America. Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings. Here are some examples. In the deaf culture of North America, many listeners show applause not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air. In some cultures, both overseas and in some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker. Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact. In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval while in other courtiers it is a form of insult. Questions: 26, What did Obcamp’s speech focus on? 27, Why do Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes while listening to a speech? 28, What does the speaker try to explain? Passage Two Chris is in charge of purchasing and maintaining equipment in his Division at Taxlong Company. He is soon going to have an evaluation interview with his supervisor and the personnel director to discuss the work he has done in the past year. Salary, promotion and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting. Chris has made several changes for his Division in the past year. First, he bought new equipment for one of the departments. He has been particularly happy about the new equipment because many of the employees have told him how much it has helped them. Along with improving the equipment, Chris began a program to train employees to use equipment better and do simple maintenance themselves. The training saved time for the employees and money for the company. Unfortunately, one serious problem developed during the year. Two employees the Chris hired were stealing, and he had to fire them. Chris knows that a new job for a purchasing and maintenance manager for the whole company will be open in a few months, and he would like to be promoted to the job. Chris knows, however, that someone else wants that new job, too. Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another Division of the company. She has also made several changes over the year. Chris knows that his boss likes Kim’s work, and he expects that his work will be compared with hers. Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. What is Chris’s main responsibility at Taxlong Company? 30. What problem did Chris encounter in his Division? 31. What does Chris hope for in the near future? 32. What do we learn about Kim from the passage? Passage Three Proverbs, sometimes called sayings, are examples of folk wisdom. They are little lessons which older people of a culture pass down to the younger people to teach them about life. Many proverbs remind people of the values that are important in the culture. Values teach people how to act, what is right, and what is wrong. Because the values of each culture are different, understanding the values of another culture helps explain how people think and act. Understanding your own culture values is important too. If you can accept that people from other cultures act according to their values, not yours, getting along with them will be much easier. Many proverbs are very old. So some of the values they teach may not be as important in the culture as they once were. For example, Americans today do not pay much attention to the proverb “Haste makes waste”, because patience is not important to them. But if you know about past values, it helps you to understand the present and many of the older values are still strong today. Benjamin Franklin, a famous American diplomat, writer and scientist, died in 1790, but his proverb “Time is money” is taken more seriously by Americans of today than ever before. A study of proverbs from around the world shows that some values are shared by many cultures. In many cases though, the same idea is expressed differently. Questions 33- 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. Why are proverbs so important? 34. According to the speaker what happens to some proverbs with the passage of time? 35 What do we learn from the study of proverbs from around the world? Section C Compound Dictation Our lives are woven together. As much as I enjoy my own company, I no longer imagine I can get through a single day much less all my life completely on my own. Even if I am on vacation in the mountains, I am eating food someone else has grown, living in a house someone else has built, wearing clothes someone else has sewn from cloth woven by others, using electricity someone else is distributing to my house. Evidence of interdependence is everywhere; we are on this journey together. As I was growing up, I remember being carefully taught that independence not interdependence was everything. “Make your own way”,” Stand on your own two feet” or my mother’s favorite remark when I was face-to-face with consequences of some action: Now that you’ve made your bed, lie on it. Total independence is a dominant thing in our culture. I imagine that what my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibilities for my actions and my choices. But the teaching was shaped by our cultural imagines. And instead, I grew up believing that I was supposed to be totally independent and consequently became very reluctant to ask for help. I would do almost anything not to be a burden, and not require any help from anybody. Part III Listening Comprehension Section A 11. W: This crazy bus schedule has got me completely confused. I can’t figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves? M: Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask? Q: What does the man suggest the woman do? 【答案】B) Go and ask the staff. 【解析】这是一道事实细节题。从对话中可知，女士搞不清楚列车时刻表，男士建议她去售 票窗口咨询。ticket window售票窗口。 12. W: I really enjoyed the TV special about drafts last night. Did you get home in time to see it? W: Oh, yes, but I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing. Q: What does the man mean? 【答案】A) He fell asleep in the middle of the TV program. 【解析】这是道推理判断题，考查男士的言下之意以及虚拟语气。could have done意为本可 以做某事，但未做。从对话中可知，男士确实回家看了电视节目，但是他说道:I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing. 我真希望自己当时能再晚点睡着，这样 我就可以看完整场节目了。说明他没有看完整场节目就睡着了。 13. W: Airport, please. I’m running a little late. So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct. M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game. Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation? 【答案】B) She is worried about missing her flight. 【解析】这是道场景题，略有难度。刚开始，我们还无法很快判断出该对话发生的场景，很 多同学一听到airport可能会误以为对话发生在机场，但如果我们继续听下去，就会发现， 该对话应该发生在出租车上，因为女士说了句“请选择最快的路”，而男士说“因为有球赛， 所以到处都交通拥堵”可以帮助我们再次确认对话发生的场景。选项A不对，原文是说要挑 the fastest way哪怕不是the most direct way;选项C也不准确，才刚上车，并没有拥堵，司 机只是提前说明因为球赛会碰到拥堵;选项D错误，女士是为了赶去乘飞机的，而不是去 看球赛。 14. W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good. M: Thank you, but I don’t eat shellfish. I’m allergic to it. Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place? 【答案】A) At a restaurant 【解析】这是道场景题，较为简单。从对话中可知，女士希望向男士推荐一道菜，从首句中 即可推断出该对话最有可能发生在餐馆中，男士说，他过敏，不吃贝壳类海鲜，可以帮助我 们再次确认对话发生的场景。 15. W: Now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most? M: Well, I’d like the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant. Q: What do we learn about the man? 【答案】A) He is being interviewed for a job. 【解析】这是较为简单的细节推理题。 从position, company这几个关键词中，我们就可以 快速判断出此题的场景为面试，因此男士应该正在接受一场面试。 C选项错误，他想要销 售经理的职位，但并不表示他本身就是销售经理。 16. M: I don’t think I want to live in the dormitory next year. I need more privacy. W: I know what you mean. But check out the cost if renting an apartment first. I won’t be surprised if you change your mind. Q: What does the woman imply? 【答案】B) The man is unlikely to move out of the dormitory. 【解析】这是推理判断题，询问女士的言下之意。最后一句，女士表示“你改变主意的话， 我不会觉得奇怪”，可知，男士不太可能搬出宿舍。A选项是个干扰项，虽然该选项看上去 意思和B选项差不多，但对话中并没有提到男士想找一个更安静的地方，他想搬离寝室，是 为了更多的个人空间。 17. M: You’re on the right track. I just think you need to narrow the topic down. W: Yeah, you’re right. I always start by choosing two boarder topics when I’m doing a research paper. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 【答案】D) The woman is going to make her topic more focused. 【解析】这是推理判断题。从对话中可知，男士希望女士缩小主题的范围，女士回答“你是 对的。”说明女士会采纳男士的建议，缩小主题。 18. W: This picnic should beat the last one we went to, doesn’t it? M: Oh, yeah, we had to spend the whole time inside. Good thing, the weather was cooperative this time. Q: What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation? 【答案】B) They didn’t quite enjoy their last picnic. 【解析】这是推理判断题。beat一词是个难点，beat本意有“打败”的意思，这次的野餐打败 了上次，即这次比上次好，下文中，男士说“上次我们不得不呆在室内，但这次天气不错。” 可以再次确认他们不喜欢上次的野餐，因此，正确答案为B。 Conversation One 【听力原文】 M: When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons. W: The seasons? M: Yeah, you know how cold it is in winter? What is it like when the days are so short? W: So what is it like? M: Well, it is cold, very cold in winter. Sometimes it is cold as 26 degrees below centigrade. And of course when you go out, you’ll wrap up warm. But inside in the houses it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home. Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter. W: And what about the darkness? M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really looks forward to the spring. It is sometimes a bit depressing. But you see the summers are amazing, from May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never sets. It’s still light in the midnight. You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper. W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun. M: Yeah, that’s right, but it’s wonderful. You want to stay up all night, and the Sweden’s made most of it. Often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings. They’d like to work hard, but play hard, too. I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure this is a good thing. 【听力材料评析】这篇长对话是围绕瑞典的天气展开，主要谈到瑞典冬天的极寒和夏天的极 昼天气。文章一开头即说到人们喜欢询问瑞典的季节情况。接下来对具体情况进行了描述， 包括:极寒天气下的气温、室外和室内温度状况，另外，就瑞典室温与英国室温进行了对比， 再次强调证明瑞典室温很高;而极昼天气则谈的是瑞典人的工作时间和工作习惯，另外，就 瑞典人工作时认真忙、能玩时拼命玩的习惯和英国人工作勤奋、工作时间长进行了对比。 这篇对话考查细节信息抓取能力。整体难度不大，并且以男士提供的信息为主。但许多考生 可能因为对瑞典(Sweden)和与瑞典相关的一系列名词不熟悉而纠结，因此忽略了真正需 要听清的其实并不太难的关键信息。这就提醒大家在做题时，切勿因为个别词语不熟悉，而 慌张。 19. A)He likes Sweden better than England. B)He prefers hot weather to cold weather. C)He is an English living in Sweden. D)He visits London nearly every winter. 19. What do we learn about the man from the conversation? 【答案】B)He prefers hot weather to cold weather. 【解析】本题为推断题。根据文章大意可推断得出。整篇文章中，分别有两处暗示信息，一 处是男士说，“Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.”，瑞典人在冬天去拜访英格兰时，会抱怨英格兰室温太冷。另一处 是男士在谈到冬天天气时，说道:“It is sometimes a bit depressing.”长时间寒冷的天气令人沮 丧。因此可推断得出，男士更喜欢hot weather，热天气。所以，答案为:He prefers hot weather to cold weather. 20. A)The bad weather B)The cold houses. C)The gloomy winter. D)The long night. 20. What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter? 【答案】B)The cold houses. 【解析】对话中，当男士介绍瑞典的极寒天气时，谈到只要穿暖，出门很暖，而室内更暖和， 为了强调这一观点，男士继续说道:“Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.”说是瑞典人在冬天去拜访英格兰时，会抱 怨英格兰室温太冷。所以，答案为:The cold houses. 21. A)Delightful. B)Painful. C)Depressing. D)Refreshing. 21. How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden? 【答案】C)Depressing. 【解析】女士问:“And what about the darkness?”男士答道:“around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really looks forward to the spring.”临近圣诞节的时候，每天仅有一 小时为白天，所以人们都非常向往春天，希望春天快点到来。然后，进一步强调性地评论道: “It is sometimes a bit depressing.”有时候真有点令人沮丧。因此，本题答案为:Depressing. 22. A)They often stay up late reading. B)They work hard and play hard. C) They like to go camping in summer. D) They try to earn more and spend more. 22. What does the man say about the Swedish people? 【答案】B)They work hard and play hard. 【解析】男士在谈到瑞典的极昼天气时，着重谈了瑞典人在极昼天气的工作情况，并进一步 对瑞典人的工作习惯进行了评价。男士说道:“They’d like to work hard, but play hard, too.”瑞 典人既能在工作时努力工作，又能在能玩时拼命玩。所以，本题答案为:They work hard and play hard.

I don’t think there is any, specifically. W: For example, in your case, what was your educational background? M: Well, I did a degree in French at Nottingham.

It is obvious that their failure in ‘quitting smoking’ and decline of determination are all ascribed to their lack of will. Initially, every success involves several stages of setbacks and risks, and we need to summon up our will to conquer them. Moreover, there are enormous temptation in our path of pursuit of success. For instance, when we plan to quit smoking, our roommates may smoke freely in front of us; when we are eager to keep fit, our close friends may invite us to have late night snacks. Under these occasions, only strong will can assist us to resist the temptation, and persist in chasing our goals until we triumphantly realize them. In short, no dream will successfully come true if we do not have strong will. An old famous proverb says that ‘ where there is a will, there is a way’. Let us bear this motton in mind no matter how many thunders and thorns are on our roads ahead, then we will be successful with such precious and powerful spirit. 快速阅读 What is Integrity? ?.The key to integrity is consistency--not only setting high personal standards for oneself (honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness) but also living up to those standards each day. One who has integrity is bound by and follows moral and ethical standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation. What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed. But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others. ?.Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional. Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals. Risky Business We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future. Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems. ?.We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices. To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required. ?.But the fact that such a violation is "unintentional" does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a defense. "But Everybody Does It" Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: "Everyone else does it," "I'm not hurting anyone," or "I really need this grade." Excuses can get very elaborate: "I know I'm looking at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I'm just checking my answers, not copying." We must be honest about our actions, and avoid excuses. If we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad decisions. ?.To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication that you're taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself. Evaluating Risks To decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself. ?.Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits ("what's in it for me"), and simply haven't considered what might go wrong. The consequences of getting caught are serious, and may include a "0" on a test or assignment; an "F" in the class; Suspension or Dismissal from school; transcript notation; and a tarnished reputation. In fact, when you break a rule or law, you lose control over your life, and give others the power to impose punishment: you have no control over what that punishment might be. This is an extremely precarious and vulnerable position. There may be some matters of life and death, or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this category. Getting Away With It--Or Not ?.Those who don't get caught pay an even higher price. A cheater doesn't learn from the test, depriving him/herself of an education. Cheating undermines confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without dishonesty, he/she would have failed. Cheating destroys self-esteem and integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty, and afraid of getting caught. Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usually cheats again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems "easier." This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to disaster. Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught, the worse the consequences. Students have been dismissed from school because they didn't get this simple message: Honesty is the ONLY policy that works. Cheating Hurts Others, Too Cheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions "don't count" and don't really hurt anyone. But individual choices have a profound cumulative effect. Cheating can spread like a disease, and a cheater can encourage others just by being seen from across the room. Recent statistics suggest 30% or more of college students cheat. If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others' grades. Even if there is no curve, cheating "poisons" the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in. ("If I don't cheat, I can't compete with those who do.") Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers. The real reward of good teaching is seeing students learn, but ?.a cheater says, "I'm not interested in what you're trying to teach; all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others." The end result is a blatant and destructive attack on the quality of your education. Finally, cheating can hurt the reputation of the University, and harm those who worked hard for their degree. Why Integrity Matters If cheating becomes the norm, then we are in big trouble. ?.We must rely on the honesty and good faith of others every day. If not, we couldn't put money in the bank, buy food, clothing, or medicine from others, drive across a bridge, get on a plane, go to the dentist--the list is endless. There are many examples of the vast harm that is caused when individuals forget or ignore the effect their dishonesty can have. The savings and loan scandal, the stock market and junk bond swindles, and, of course, ?.Watergate, have undermined the faith of many Americans in the integrity of political and economic leaders and society as a whole. Such incidents take a tremendous toll on our nation's economy and our individual well-being. For example, but for the savings and loan debacle, there might be funds available to reduce the national debt and pay for education. In sum, we all have a common stake in our school, our community, and our society. Our actions do matter. It is essential that we act with integrity in order to build the kind of world in which we want to live. 解析: 1. A person of integrity not only sets high moral and ethical standards but also _______.

M: Yeah, but what troubles me is that I can’t find the book in the library or in the university bookstore. Q: What does the man mean? 12. M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I’d also be happy to pick up anything you need. W: Well, I don’t like to let anyone else drive my car. Tell you what, why don’t we go together? Q: What does the woman mean? 13. M: Forgive the mess in here, we have a party last night.

Q: What does the man imply? 16. M: I really can’t stand the way David controls the conversation all the time. If he is going to be at your Christmas party, I just won’t come. W: I’m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come. Q: What does the woman imply? 17. W: You’re taking a course with Professor Johnson. What’s your impression so far? M: Well, many students could hardly stay awake in his class without first drinking a cup of coffee. Q: What does the man imply? 18. W: Have you ever put a computer together before? M: No, never. But I think if we follow these instructions exactly, we won’t have much trouble. Q: What are the speakers going to do? Long Conversations Conversation 1 W: What sort of hours do you work, Steve? M: Well I have to work very long hours, about eleven hours a day. W: What time do you start? M: I work 9 to 3, then I start again at 5:30 and work until 11, six days a week. So I have to work very unsocial hours. W: And do you have to work at the weekend? M: Oh, yes, that’s our busiest time. I get Wednesdays off. W: What are the things you have to do and the things you don’t have to do? M: Uh, I don’t have to do the washing-up, so that’s good. I have to wear white, and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean. W: What’s hard about the job? M: You are standing up all the time.

Conversation 2 W: Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get? M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don’t quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means? W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent. M: Oh yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison. W: Yes. why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation? M: I am sorry I’ve no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous. W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That’s strange, isn’t it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is. M: Yes, I don’t understand that at all. W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them? M: I don’t know. I think I’ll probably give them 2 pounds a week. W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it? M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example. W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money? M: Yeah, they do. Q23 What is the table of figures about? Q24 What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money? Q25 Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money? Section B Passage 1 As the new sales director for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers. Everyone arrived on time, and Alex’s presentation went extremely well. He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company’s plans. “I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of the market,” he began, “because of the quality of the people in this room. The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district. He sets the term for everyone else. If he has ambitious goals and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example.” When Alex was finished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior managers. “Things were going so well until the end”, Alex said disappointedly. “Obviously, I said the wrong thing.” “Yes”, the district manager replied. “Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company’s growth. They don’t care at all about political correctness. But they were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as ‘he’ in your speech.” Q26 Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting? Q27 What did Alex want to emphasize at the end of his presentation? Q28 What do we learn about the audience at the meeting? Q29 Why did Alex fail to receive the warm response he had hoped for? Passage 2 The way to complain is to act business-like and important. If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager. When the manager comes, ask his or her name. And then state your problem and what you expect to have done about it. Be polite! Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere. But also be firm in making your complaint. Besides, act important. This doesn’t mean to put on airs and say “do you know who I am?” What it means is that people are often treated the way they expect to be treated. If you act like someone who expects a fair request to be granted, chances are it will be granted. The worst way to complain is over the telephone. You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you cannot see. So you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting. It is easy for that person to give you the run-around. Complaining in person or by letter is generally more effective. If your complaint doesn’t require an immediate response, it often helps to complain by letter. If you have an appliance that doesn’t work, send a letter to the store that sold it. Be business-like and stick to the point. Don’t spend a paragraph on how your uncle John tried to fix the problem and couldn’t. Q30 What does the speaker suggest you do when you are not served properly at a restaurant? Q31 Why does the speaker say the worst way to complain is over the telephone? Q32 What should you do if you make a complaint by letter? Passage 3 Barbara Sanders is a wife and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4. Her husband, Tom, is an engineer and makes an excellent salary. Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing. She quit her job when she became pregnant, but is now interested in returning to work. She's been offered an excellent job with the government. Her husband feels it's unnecessary for her to work since the family does not need the added income. He also thinks that a woman should stay home with her children. If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week. Barbara, on the other hand, has missed the excitement of her profession and does not feel she would be satisfied doing volunteer work. She would also like to have her own income, so she does not have to ask her husband for money whenever she wants to buy something. She does not think it's necessary to stay home every day with the children and she knows a very reliable babysitter who's willing to come to her house. Tom does not think a babysitter can replace a mother and thinks it's a bad idea for the children to spend so much time with someone who's not part of the family. Q33 What was Barbara's profession before she had children? Q34 What does Barbara's husband suggest she do if she wants to work? Q35 What does Tom think about hiring a babysitter? Section B Passage One While Gail Obcamp, an American artist was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused to see that many of her Japanese listeners have their eyes closed. Were they tuned off because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form? Were they deliberately tried to signal their rejection of her? Obcamp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful. Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes to enhance concentration. Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words. Some day you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of a minority group in North America. Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings. Here are some examples. In the deaf culture of North America, Many listeners show applause not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air. In some cultures, both overseas and in some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker. Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact. In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval while in other courtiers it is a form of insult. 【听力点睛】本文主要介绍不同文化中都是如何表示尊重的，以及如何利用这点来避免跨文 化交流中的误会产生。一开始先用一位美国艺术家Gail Obcamp做演讲的故事来举例子，引 出对闭上眼睛这样一种动作不同的理解;继而发表了作者的看法:在和不同文化的人交流的 时候，如果你懂得其他文化中是如何表达尊重的，可以避免误会;接着又是例子，是关于北 美洲聋哑人是如何用动作来交流的。还有一些国家，对同样的手势会有截然不同的理解，进 一步验证了作者的观点。 做这篇题目的重点在于能够迅速拎出来作者的观点。 Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26.

Passage Two Chris is in charge of purchasing and maintaining equipment in his Division at Taxlong Company. He is soon going to have an evaluation interview with his supervisor and the personnel director to discuss the work he has done in the past year. Salary, promotion and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting. Chris has made several changes for his Division in the past year. First, he bought new equipment for one of the departments. He has been particularly happy about the new equipment because many of the employees have told him how much it has helped them. Along with improving the equipment, Chris began a program to train employees to use equipment better and do simple maintenance themselves. The training saved time for the employees and money for the company. Unfortunately, one serious problem developed during the year. Two employees that Chris hired were stealing, and he had to fire them. Chris knows that a new job for a purchasing and maintenance manager for the whole company will be open in a few months, and he would like to be promoted to the job. Chris knows, however, that someone else wants that new job, too. Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another Division of the company. She has also made several changes over the year.

They are little lessons which older people of a culture pass down to the younger people to teach them about life. Many proverbs remind people of the values that are important in the culture. Values teach people how to act, what is right, and what is wrong. Because the values of each culture are different, understanding the values of another culture helps explain how people think and act. Understanding your own culture values is important too. If you can accept that people from other cultures act according to their values, not yours, getting along with them will be much easier. Many proverbs are very old. So some of the values they teach may not be as important in the culture as they once were. For example, Americans today do not pay much attention to the proverb “Haste makes waste”, because patience is not important to them. But if you know about past values, it helps you to understand the present and many of the older values are still strong today. Benjamin Franklin, a famous American diplomat, writer and scientist, died in 1790, but his proverb “Time is money” is taken more seriously by Americans of today than ever before. A study of proverbs from around the world shows that some values are shared by many cultures. In many cases though, the same idea is expressed differently. 【听力点睛】这篇文章是一篇说明文。从科学客观的角度讲述了Proverb谚语的一些知识。 包括它的定义-----是老一辈人传给后代的生活经验，生活价值观。不同国家，不同文化中的 谚语往往可以揭示不同的价值观。如果能够理解其他文化的谚语，价值观，那么会在跨文化 交际中避免很多麻烦。 作者又提到，一些谚语年代久远。其中包含的价值观随着时代的变迁可能重要性也发生了改 变。并且举了Haste makes waste. 和Time is money. 这样两个例子。 作者最后再次表明，通过学习不同国家的谚语，会发现一些国家会有相同或者相似的价值观， 只是有可能表达的方式有所不同而已。 这篇说明文对考生的要求在于快速划分出作者想说明的几个点。一般通常写说明文章的顺序 都是先说明要点，然后用一些事实来进一步说明。 Questions 32- 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. Why are proverbs so important? A) They help us see the important values of a culture. B) They guide us in handling human relationships. C) They help us express ourselves more effectively. D) They are an infinite source of human knowledge. 【答案】A)They help us see the important values of a culture. 34. According to the speaker what happens to some proverbs with the passage of time? A)Their wordings may become different. B) The values they reflect may change. C)Their origins can no longer be traced. D) They may be misinterpreted. 【答案】B) The values they reflect may change. 35. What do we learn from the study of proverbs from around the world? 2011年6月四级听力真题 Part III Listening Comprehension Section A 11. M: Shawn's been trying for months to find a job. But I wonder how he could get a job when he looks like that. W: Oh, that poor guy! He really should shave himself every other day at least and put on something clean. Q: What do we learn about Shawn? 答案:A. He is careless about his appearance. 解析:男生首先对肖恩能否找到工作表示怀疑，因为他邋遢。女生接着提到肖恩不修边幅， 又说他应该每隔一天刮一次胡子，把自己弄得整洁干净一点。由此可知，肖恩是一个对仪容 仪表不太注重，比较粗线条的人shave，刮胡子;be careless about不在乎，不介意; 12. W: I wish Jane would call when she know she'll be late. This is not the first time we've had to wait for her. M: I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here. Q: What does the man imply? 答案:A. Jane maybe caught in a traffic jam. 解析:本题是推理题，在做题时要注意仔细推敲。女生说:“Jane已经不是第一次迟到让我 们等了，我希望她能事先打电话告诉我们一下”，可见女生对Jane迟到的作法是不满的。 男生又说:“I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.”(我同意。 但是她到这里的确要遭受很拥堵的交通。)由此得出，男生对此事的态度是理解或宽容的。 Jane可能被堵在半路了。 13. M: Congratulations! I heard your baseball team is going to the Middle Atlantic Championship. W: Yeah, we're all working real hard right now! Q: What is the woman's team doing? 答案:A.

He has been having a hard time. 解析:根据听力原文可知，“John's mother is in the hospital and his father died last year.”(约翰 的母亲出车祸住院了，父亲两年前也过世了)由此可见，John的近况还是蛮悲惨的;答案 也就显而易见了。 15. M: What a boring speaker! I can hardly stay awake. W: Well, I don't know. In fact, I think it's been a long time since I've heard anyone is good. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 答案:D The woman thinks highly of the speaker 解析:根据听力原文可知，男生觉得演讲无趣，女生却很淡定地说:“其实我已经很久没有 听到那么好的发言了”。由此可见，女生对发言还是很肯定的。选项D中“thinks highly of”即 “对…评价高”，故D是正确答案。 16. W: I'm having a lot of trouble with logic and it seems my professor can't explain it in a way that makes sense to me. M: You know, there is a tutoring service on campus. I was about to drop statistics before they helped me out. Q: What does the man mean? 答案:C. The woman should seek help from tutoring services. 解析:首先女生说她逻辑学得很辛苦，接受不了老师的讲课方式也理解不了课程内容。 而后男生说学校有辅导班，他在参加之前几乎要挂科了，辅导班帮了他大忙。言下之意是推 荐女生也去上辅导班。 17. M: This is a stylish overcoat. I saw you wearing it last week, did't I? W: Oh, that wasn't me. That was my sister Jill. She's in your class. Q: What does the woman mean? 答案:C. Jill wore the overcoat last week. 解析:首先男生问女生上周是否穿过拉风外套，然后女生说:“ That was my sister Jill. She's in your class.”(那是我姐姐Jill，她和你同班)也就是说男生很有可能看到的那个穿着拉风外套 的人是女生的姐姐Jill。 18. M: Jane, suppose you lost all your money while taking a vacation overseas, what would you do? W: Well, I guess I'd sell my watch or computer or do some odd jobs till I could afford a return plane ticket. Q: What are the speakers talking about? 答案:B. An imaginary situation. 解析:根据原文录音可知，对话开头男生讲到:“Jane, suppose you lost all your money while taking a vacation overseas, what would you do? ”这里的"suppose"表明“假定、料想”由此可见， 两人谈论的是一个虚拟场景。 Conversation One 听力原文 M: Hello, professor Johnson. W: Hello, Tony. So what shall we work on today? M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn't coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what particular sport means to me when I participate in, W: What sport did you choose? M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing. W: What are you going to say about skiing? M: That's the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country. W: So why is that a problem? M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods. I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn't as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that's not part of my paper. So I guess I should leave it out. But now I don't know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It's not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That's different. W: Then you'll have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew before hand but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right? M: Yeah, I guess so. Q19: What is the topic of the man's writing assignment? C) Pain and pleasure in sports Q20: What problem does the man have while working on his paper? D) He can't decide whether to include the effort part of skiing. Q21: What does the woman say is common in writing papers? A) New ideas come up as you write. 19. D) A sport he participates in 解析:题目问的是，男生论文的主题是什么，从talk about what particular sport means to me when I participate in一句中，可得对应选项D。C选项是一个干扰项，pain and pleasure in sports, 意为运动中的痛苦与快乐，其中sports一词范围太大，对话中只谈到了cross-country skiing, 因此，C选项错。 20. D) He can't decide whether to include the effort part of skiing. 解析:当男生打算将越野滑雪的艰辛剔除出论文时，教授说了一句“Then you'll have to include that in your point.”对应选项D 21. A) New ideas come up as you write. 解析:在对话的最后，教授提到“Part of your point you knew before hand but part you discovered as you wrote. That's common, right?”这句话意思是说，在写论文之前，论点的一部 分我们已经有了，但另一部分在写的过程中才会发现，因此，对应选项A。A选项与D选项 较易混淆，但从教授的话中，我们可以看出，不是论点发生变化，而是在写作过程中，会有 新的想法产生。 这篇长对话因为是围绕论文写作展开，而且涉及了一项我们中国人并不熟悉的运动，越野滑 雪，因此，乍听之下，有些小抽象，小陌生。但细听之后，我们会发现，文中有一大段都提 到了男生在写作中遇到的纠结处，那就是越野滑雪的畅快和由此所付出的艰辛，文章的主旨 自然呼之欲出了。 这篇对话主要考察对文章大意的理解，而不是纠结于一词一句的得失，因此，大家在做题时， 也要注意把握主干，不要因为听到了一个自己不太熟悉的运动就舍本逐末。 Conversation Two W: Good evening and welcome to this week's Business World. It program for and about business people. Tonight we have Mr. Angeleno who came to the US six years ago, and is now an established businessman with three restaurants in town.Tell us Mr. Angeleno, how did you get started? M: Well I started off with a small diner. I did all the cooking myself and my wife waited on tables. It was really too much work for two people. My cooking is great. And word got around town about the food. Within a year, I had to hire another cook and four waitresses. When that restaurant became very busy, I decided to expand my business. Now with three places my main concern is keeping the business successful and running smoothly. W: Do you advertise? M: Oh yes. I don't have any TV commercials, because they are too expensive. But I advertise a lot on radio and in local newspapers. My children used to distribute ads. in nearby shopping centres, but we don't need to do that anymore. W: Why do you believe you've been so successful? M: Em, I always serve the freshest possible food and I make the atmosphere as comfortable and as pleasant as I can, so that my customers will want to come back. W: So you always aim to please the customers? M: Absolutely!Without them I would have no business at all. W: Thank you Mr.Angeleno.I think your advice will be helpfull to those just staring out in business. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 22 What is the woman's occupation D) Hostess of the weekly “Business World” 23 what do we learn about Mr.Angeleno's business at its beginning B) He and his wife did everything by themselves. 24 what does Mr. Angeleno say about advertising his business. B) He advertises a lot on radio and in newspapers. 25 What does the man say contribute to his success? B) The restaurant atmosphere 22. D) Hostess of the weekly “Business World” 解析:从对话中可以听出，这是一个访谈节目，因此这个女性是节目主持人。 23. B) He and his wife did everything by themselves. 解析:题目问的是，刚开始的时候，Angeleno的生意怎么样,对话中提到，I did all the cooking myself and my wife waited on tables. Angeleno负责做菜，他妻子负责接待，对应选项B。 24. B) He advertises a lot on radio and in newspapers. 解析:从But I advertise a lot on radio and in local newspapers. 一句中，可以得到对应选项。 25. B) The restaurant atomsphere 解析:题目问的是，什么有助于餐厅的成功,对话中提到，I always serve the freshest possible food and I make the atmosphere as comfortable and as pleasant as I can, so that my customers will want to come back. 可见，Angeleno会提供尽可能新鲜的食物和舒适的用餐环境以吸引 顾客，因此，对应选项B，也许，有童鞋会问，为什么不选C,注意，C选项是指各种各样 的食物，与文意中“新鲜的食物”不符，是错误选项。 这篇对话是一篇较为简单的访谈节目，主要涉及一些细节问题，其中，关键细节包括餐馆经 营情况，广告宣传情况等，也是考点所在。童鞋们在听时，可以相应地做些简单的笔记，从 而准确地选出选项。 Section B Passage One There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes. We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight. Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibres that connect the eyeball to the brain, as of yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible. 篇章类型及提要:论证文 听力点睛: 本文主要介绍关于纠正一些对眼镜及视力的常识的错误认识。注意文章首句"There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts." 通常这种文章 首句就是主旨句。这是做听力短文题必须要高度关注的。接下去可以推测下面内容必然围绕 主题句展开，通过举例等来论证作者要表明的观点。所以听的时候也要高度专注那些关键词 句，如for instance, however, but, evidence, although, Studies show that...这些关键词句后面的 内容是听力常考的地方。最后文章给出一个总结句呼吁人们破除固有的一些认识，去更多了 解我们的眼睛，头尾呼应。 Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. What does the speaker want to tell us about eyesight? 答案:C)There are many false notions about it. 解析:从"eyesight" 可以把答案定位于第一段，关键词有"weakens the eyes" "loss of vision". 注 意题目中是问speaker要告诉我们的，所以不要被some people believe...误导，看清题目要问 什么很重要。容易混淆的是A选项，文中提到如果孩子戴不合适的眼镜会使孩子的视力减 弱，但并没有提到孩子经常忽视保护视力。B、D选项文中没有提及，可以排除。 27. What do studies about wearing the wrong glasses show? 答案:C)It can lead to the loss of vision in children. 解析:本题关键词是"studies" "wearing the wrong glasses". 文章中作者很明显地给出了 "Studies show that for adults..." 因此了解这个后面的内容，做出本题难度不大。文中说到 "for adults there is no danger" ，因此排除B选项。"there is no evidence... the structure of eyes is changed" "it does not permanently damage eyesight"可以排除D选项，注意如果漏听了no， 很可能就会选错。A选项前文没有提及，可以排除。 28.What do we learn about eye transplanting from the talk? 答案:D)It can only be partly accomplished now. 解析:本题关键词"eye transplanting"，迅速定位于听力后面部分。A、B、C选项文中没有提 及，排除。文章最后部分"Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced" "Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced"可以推断出答案是D选项。 Passage Two When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents? 答案:D)They have jobs and other commitments. 解析:细节题。本题询问原因，文章开头很快就给出了本题答案"because they often have jobs and other responsibilities." 注意D选项中的commitments的意思是 “承诺，保证;承担义务” 和responsibilities意思相近。这也是四级考试中常见的选项设置，用同义词或近义词替换掉 文中的词汇。这要求考试在备考时，重点词汇及其同义词反义词都要有所了解。其他选项文 中没有提及，可排除。 30. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes? 答案:A) They don't want to use up all their life savings. 解析:细节题。关键词"wives"" husbands"。本题不难，文章中已经直接给出答案" in order not to use up their life savings"。 31. According to the passage, what must caregivers learn to do? 31. According to the passage, what must caregivers learn to do? 答案:C)Be frank and seek help from others. 解析:关键词"caregivers""learn to do"，问看护人应该要学会做的事情，然后迅速定位于最 后部分，"One consideration is to ask..."，"Caregivers must also learn to state..." 主要有两件事 情，C选项是其中一个，另外一个选项中没有，排除A、B和D选项。 Passage Three Since a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections. My coworkers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety hazards in the workplace. Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about 7 hours a day. The supervisor of the laboratory is beginning to get headaches and dizzy spells because she says it's dangerous to breathe some of the chemical smoke there. An X-rays technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment. She insists that it's exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and asked that government agency to inspect the department. I've heard that at a factory in the area two pregnant women who were working with paint requested a transfer to a safer department, because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owners was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met an agree to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he had the heating system replaced right away. Questions 32- 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 32 What does the talk focus on? A) Health and safety conditions in workplace. 解析:主旨题。本题简单，了解了文章主要内容后，就可以直接选出答案。注意不要被文章 中员工们得对工作环境的complaints影响而混淆了。 33 What did the X-ray technician ask her company to do? Replace its out-dated equipments. 答案:A)Replace its out-dated equipments. 解析:细节题。作者有直接读出答案，比较简单。 34 What does the speaker say about the two pregnant women working with paint? A) They requested to transfer to a safer department. 答案:A) They requested to transfer to a safer department. 解析:细节题。作者有直接读出答案，比较简单。注意选B选项的同学可能犯了想当然的错 误。做题还是要按照文章的事实根据来。 35 Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing to work? C) To protest against the poor working conditions. 答案:C)To protest against the poor working conditions. 解析:推理题。本题容易误选D选项。因为是heating system出了故障。但通过下文"too embarrassed""had the heating system replaced right away" 从老板的反应及采取的 措施 《全国民用建筑工程设计技术措施》规划•建筑•景观全国民用建筑工程设计技术措施》规划•建筑•景观软件质量保证措施下载工地伤害及预防措施下载关于贯彻落实的具体措施 可以推 断出，员工们穿滑雪服地原因其实为对差的工作环境向老板提出抗议。 Section C Compound Dictation Contrary to the old warning that time waits for no one, time slows down when you are on the move. It also slows down more as you move faster, which means astronauts(宇航员) some day may survive so long in space that they would return to an earth of the distant future. If you could move at the speed of light, your time would stand still, if you could move faster than light, your time would move backward. Although no form of matter yet discovered, moves as fast as or faster than light, scientific experiments has already confirmed that accelerated motion causes a traveler's time to be stretched. Albert Einstein predicted this in 1905, when he introduced the concept of relative time as part of his special theory of relativity. A search is now under way to confirm the suspected existence of particles of matter that move at a speed greater than light, and therefore, might serve as our passports to the past. An obsession with time - saving, gaining, wasting, losing and mastering it - seems to have been a part of humanity for as long as human have existed. Humanity also has been obsessed with trying to capture the meaning of time. Einstein used a definition of time for experimental purposes, as that which is measured by a clock. Thus time and time's relativity are measurable by any hour glass, alarm clock, or atomic clock that can measure a billionth of a second. 本文提要: 本篇属于科技类文章，主要围绕时间和运动的关系展开;用谚语开篇引出全文，很有吸引力。 中间引用爱因斯坦的相对论相关概念，具体阐述主题。 答案: 36. survive 解析:文章描述:运动越快，时间变慢得也更快，这也就意味着宇航员有朝一日可以在太空 中生存(survive)很久，如此一来他们就可以在遥远(distant)的未来重返地球。 37. distant 解析:这个空在future 前面，所以预判该填形容词常用搭配无非near，close， distant等 ， 根据听力原文，如上所述，确定是遥远的未来;填distant。 38. backward 解析:速度达到光速，时间静止;根据常识推断，若速度快于光速，那么时间将后退，即 move backward，根据听力原文可确定这一推断。 39. discovered 解析:空缺部分作后置定语，从音频可知是发现(discovered)，用其过去完成时态。 40. scientific 解析:该空后接名词，应为形容词，scientific。 41. motion 解析: 原文描述，实验已证明运动加快会使宇航员的时间延长。这里的运动为motion。 42. predicted 解析:爱因斯坦在1905年时作出预测，用过去时predicted。 43. introduced 解析:这是爱因斯坦提出的一个相对时间的概念，用过去时introduced。 44. that move at a speed greater than light, and therefore, might serve as our passports to the past. 解析:当下进行的研究旨在证实，是否有这样的物质，即能以超光速运行，并可以作为我们 回归过去的“通行证”。填句只需意思相近就可以，关键抓住核心:超光速运行，可帮助人类 回到过去。 45. seems to have been a part of humanity for as long as human have existed. 解析:人类对时间的节约，获取，浪费以及流失等的着迷，自人类诞生以来就一直是其生活 的一部分。核心:人类诞生以来就一直存在的，如影随形的。 46. used a definition of time for experimental purposes, as that which is measured by a clock. 解析:人类也对时间的含义非常着迷，爱因斯坦就曾提出一个试验性的定义，这个定义下的 时间可以用钟表来测量。核心意思:试验性的定义，可以用钟表来测量。 2011年6月真题 四级作文: Nowadays, can we find a person who has not experienced online shopping?
