Concern is growing in America about the use of genetically modified food. The Food and Drug Administration holds a public hearing in Washington today to try to allay public fears . America is the world's largest producer of genetically manufactured products. A third of American corn is grown from bio-engineered seed. But a number of American farmers say they are not going to plant GM seeds next year because of the public controversy .
America's powerful Food and Drug Administration is coming under pressure to take a harder line on genetically modified food. Around 300 food products in American supermarkets contain bio-engineered substances mainly by products of corn and soybeans . So far the FDA says there is no scientific reason to question any of it. But environmental groups say not enough research has been done to be certain. And they want all the products to be labeled . The outcry in Europe is beginning to affect the public attitude here. American farmers are also becoming nervous about planting GM crops. The spokesman for the American Corn Growers' Association which represents 14 000 farmers told the BBC that the price of GM seed could drop next year by as much as 25%. GM seeds are more expensive than ordinary seeds, but save the farmer money because they have built-in pesticides and produce larger crops.
Unit 5 听力原文 Part I B Man: I suppose my career’s a bit unusual because I went to university when I was twenty-five — a lot later than most people go. When I left school, I went straight out to work: I worked as a clerk in a small office. My father criticized me, I remember, for not going on studying while I had the chance, but I wanted to earn myself some money. Anyway, that job didn’t last long because I had to go into the army when I was twenty. I stayed in for five years. I don’t know what good my university course did because I’m unemployed now. Oh, I know I got a job when I finished my university course — I was twenty-nine then — but it didn’t last long. Well, I never really thought I would enjoy teaching very much. So, as I say, I’m unemployed now and looking for something else. C Interviewer: Sergio. Thank you for agreeing to this interview. How old are you? Sergio: Um, I’m fifty-one. Interviewer: and what is your profession? Sergio: I’m an accountant. Interviewer: Are you married? Sergio: Yes, I’m married. Interviewer: Does your wife work? Sergio: Yes, luckily. She’s a teacher. Interviewer: Could you tell me about your last job? Who did you work for? Sergio: Um. I worked for a chemical company near Milan. Interviewer: How long did you work there? Sergio: Um, for fourteen years. Interviewer: How did you lose your job? Sergio: The company was taken over by a Swedish firm and I was made redundant. Interviewer: So, how long have you been unemployed? Sergio: Um, for about 6 months. Interviewer: So, Sergio. It must be difficult being unemployed at your age. Sergio: Of course. Many people don’t want to employ someone over fifty. Interviewer: So how do you spend your days? Sergio: I get the newspaper every day and look at the job advertisements. When I see something interesting I apply. Interviewer: Any luck so far? Sergio: Yes, I was offered something last month, but the job was not very interesting. Interviewer: Do you meet other unemployed people? Sergio:Not really. Um, I prefer to stay at home and work on my PC. I’m also studying psychology. Interviewer: That’s an interesting idea. What else do you do? Sergio: I have lunch with my former colleagues about once a month. They often hear about jobs and so on. They often have useful information. Interviewer: Have you registered with a recruitment agency? Sergio: No, I haven’t. I think they already have too many people on their books.

Selina ... Selinar：Thanks, John. I have with me Eric, who's just flown in with Virgin Atlantic from the USA. Eric：That's right. I've just come back from New York. Selinar：Is it as dangerous as they say? Eric：No, New York isn't dangerous, no more than any other big city, especially if you're careful and don't advertise the fact that you're a tourist. Selinar：And is it true what they say about New Yorkers, that they're rude, and that they only care about themselves?
Eric：Well, I found the people were very friendly. However, they do have a reputation for not caring about other people. I think the reason for this is that life in New York is incredibly stressful. People just don't have the time to think about anybody else. It isn't that they don't care. Selinar：Is there anything else you noticed about New Yorkers? Eric：Two things I had heard about before I went to New York did seem to be true, though. First is that they are always talking about money and how much things cost. Secondly, it's that people eat all the time as they go about their daily lives, you know they "graze on the hoof" as they walk about the streets. Selinar：Thanks Eric, and now I have with me, Sue, who's been to the south of France ...

UNIT 7 Section one Tactics for Listening Part 1 Spot Dictation Meet Your Chiropractor The doctor of chiropractic (D.C.) is a (1) well-recognized member of the health team who (2) considers the human body as a total functioning (3) unit and gives special attention to the spine, (4) muscles, nerves, circulatory and skeletal (5) systems. The chiropractor seeks to (6) relieve pain. The procedures utilized are primarily focused on the (7) spine. The chiropractor is concerned about the spine's relationship to the (8) nerve system, which controls important body functions. The chiropractor knows that a malfunctioning* spinal joint cannot only cause (9) back pain or headaches, it can also (10) interfere with the nerves leading from the spine, thereby (11) affecting other portions of the body. Millions of Americans are chiropractic patients for a wide variety of (12) health disorders. They depend on their chiropractor as their (13) family doctor to help them maintain their health through proper (14) diagnosis, treatment, and referral when (15) necessary. A minimum of six years of college study including internships (16) goes into the making of a chiropractic physician. Many doctors of
UNIT 5 Section One Tactics for listening Part 1 Sport Dictation Wind In the past we watched the wind closely. (1) Hunters knew that game moved (2) with the winds, that keeping the wind in (3) one's face was essential to a successful (4) stalk. Farmers knew that changing winds brought (5) rain or drought. Polynesian* sailors could find islands beyond the (6) horizon by lying on their backs in their (7) canoes and feeling the swells* caused by winds (8) rushing onto islands many miles away. Eskimos could (9) navigate in Arctic whiteouts*, when fog or snow (10) obscured all landmarks, by following remembered currents of air over the snow and ice. Today few people can tell where the wind comes from. We live inside walls, (11) surrounded by chrome and glass, and the winds outside are often (12) gusts of our own making - the wake of (13) rushing automobiles, the tunneling of air down narrow city streets. We get our weather (14) from the news, not from the wind behind us. We hear the wind as house sounds: the (15) rattle of windows, the scratching of branches at a window (16) screen, the moan of a draft under the (17) hall door. These are pop music, not the (18) classical style of the wind, which is the collision of leaf and blade, the (19) groan of branches under stress, the (20) stirring of ocean waves.
Book Three UNIT 1 Section One Part 1 Spot Dictation Houses in the Future Well, I think houses in the future will probably be (1) quite small but I should think they'll be (2) well-insulated so that you don't need so much (3) heating and (4) cooling as you do now, so perhaps very economical (5) to run. Perhaps they will use (6) solar heating, although I don't know, in this country, perhaps we (7) won't be able to do that so much. Yes, I think they'll be full of (8) electronic gadgets: things like very advanced televisions, videos, perhaps videos which take up ... the screen (9) takes up the whole wall. I should think. Yes, you'll have things like (10) garage doors which open automatically when you (11) drive up, perhaps electronic (12) sensors which will (13) recognize you when you, when you come to the front door even. Perhaps (14) architects and designers will be a bit more (15) imaginative about how houses are designed and perhaps with the (16) shortage of space people will think of putting gardens (17) on the roof and, and maybe rooms can be (18) expanded and, and (19) contracted* depending on what you use them for, so perhaps there'll be a bit more (20) flexibility about that.
Part I B Tom: What kind of school did you go to, Ann Ann: Well, I went to a public primary school and then to a private high school. Tom: So which do you think is better Ann: Actually, I prefer private schools because of the smaller classes and ... usually you have a wider choice of subjects. Tom: Yeah, I suppose that’s true. Ann: And then there are usually better sports facilities. For example, the school I went to had a swimming pool and a huge gym. Tom: Yeah ... well, the public high school I went to had great sports facilities. Besides, private schools are really expensive. Ann: Yeah, but I think they’re worth it. Tom: I don’t know. I think you have to judge every school individually, whether it’s public or private. Ann: That may be true ... but children generally get a better, more ... well-rounded education in a private school. Tom: Maybe, but I’m not totally convinced. By the way, Ann, were you on the debating team in high school, by any chance Ann: I sure was! I was the captain! C Steve’s first morning Steve was rather nervous about his first day of the polytechnic. He didn’t know any other students and he didn’t know his way around the building. At 9 o’clock, he was at the main entrance with a crowd of hundreds of other students. All of them seem to know what to do except Steve. Then he found a notice. There was a meeting for all the first-year students. He found them all waiting in the large hall. First, the director of the Polytechnic welcomed them. Then the head of students’services, and finally the head of physical education. Head of physical education: I’m here to tell you about the sport you can do at the Poly. Here in Edington, we have a fitness room where you can do exercises to keep fit, and weekly you can do all sorts of sports, such as tennis, football, hockey and badminton. But there are also many other activities. You can go sailing. You can go down-caves. You can go climbing and many more. We hope all of you will take part in at least one of these. If you want to join, come on weekly on Wednesday afternoon. Any questions A student: What about swimming Head of physical education: We don’t have our own pool. But you can swim in the public pools in Hanksy or Muston Ferry. After the meeting was over, Steve looked at this timetable. His first class was business studies, and was in room 316. But where was Room 316 Steve: Excuse me. Do you know where Room 316 is Male student 1: Oh, I haven’t a clue, mate. Steve: Do you know where Room 316 is

大学英语听力教程1答案高中英语听力教学需要循序渐进 听力是一种语言接受能力，只有多听多说，多做多练，积少成多，由易到难，循序渐进，方能逐步提高。听力教学很重要，应从学生实际出发，讲究方法技巧，循序渐进，方能水到渠。听力教学循序渐进教师学生听力在高考中占总分的1/5(江苏1/6)，听力的重要性由此可见一斑。但在实际教学中，一些教师往往对听力教学重视不够，只是利用早自习或午自习让课代表在班上放放录音带，然后对对答案，随意性较大，效果不明显，结果学生也对听力训练逐渐失去了兴趣，甚至感到厌烦。因此，如何上好听力课，解决听力教学中遇到的困难，提高学生的听力水平是我们每位英语教师应当深思的问题。某高中是一所普通的农村中学，生源较差，每年的录取线在当地最低，被戏称为“收容所”，考不取较好的高中的学生大多会选择这里，因此，不难想象该校的教学有多艰难了，做听力练习时，大多数学生就像听天书一样，云里雾里，不知所云。该校的高二〈2〉班和高二〈3〉班在刚进入高二时，是两个各方面状况基本相近的平行班。下面以两位教师在这两个班所上的听力课为例，谈一谈听力教学中存在的问题以及如何提高学生的听力水平。授课内容为牛津高中英语Module 5 Unit 2的Task板块中Skills building 1 (P32)。Guidelines 告诉学生如何根据所听信息得出结论并举两例。Part A是关于5种自然灾害的新闻报道，要求根据每个报道的描述说出灾害的名称。Part B是听一段较长的新闻报道，然后对书上的5个句子进行判断。案例1：高二〈2〉班，46人，老师首先带学生阅读guidelines 和例子，接着开始Part A ,读完要求后播放录音两遍，再让学生说出灾害名称，没有1个学生全部答对，只有10个学生答对3个，15个学生答对1个，其余学生表示根本听不懂，老师很着急，但还是很有耐心地又放了两遍录音，结果没太大改观，老师于是说出正确答案后便开始了Part B。这次，老师播放了三遍录音，每句都停顿一下，然后再让学生判断句子正误，结果只有7人答对2题，5人答对3题，5人答对1题，且有的是蒙对的，老师只好又放了两遍，可是效果依旧，老师很无奈，学生也显得烦躁，由于时间关系，老师
