[00:39.61]Part III Listening Comprehension
[00:44.32]Section A
[00:46.90]Directions:
[00:49.29]In this section,
[00:51.23]you will hear 8 short conversations
[00:54.28]and 2 long conversations.
[00:57.74]At the end of each conversation,
[01:00.17]one or more questions will be asked about what was said. [01:04.75]Both the conversation and the questions
[01:08.01]will be spoken only once.
[01:11.06]After each question there will be a pause.
[01:15.35]During the pause,
[01:16.63]you must read the four choices
[01:19.32]marked A), B), C), and D),
[01:23.71]and decide which is the best answer.
[01:27.28]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 [01:32.47]with a single line through the centre.
[01:36.32]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.
[01:41.79]11. W: I ran into Sally the other day.
[01:47.54]I could hardly recognize her.
[01:50.57]Do you remember her from high school?
[01:54.51]M: Yeah, she was a little out of shape back then.
[01:58.40]Well, has she lost a lot of weight?
[02:02.51]Q: What does the man remember of Sally?
[02:22.88]12. W: We don't seem to have a reservation for you, sir. [02:30.07]I'm sorry.
[02:31.27]M: But my secretary said that
[02:33.59]she had reserved a room for me here.
[02:35.91]I phoned her from the airport this morning
[02:38.85]just before I got on board the plane.
[02:42.20]Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place? [03:03.34]13. W: What would you do if you were in my place?
[03:10.72]M: If Paul were my son,
[03:13.10]I'd just not worry.
[03:15.76]Now that his teacher is giving him extra help
[03:18.66]and he is working hard himself,
[03:20.94]he's sure to do well in the next exam.
[03:24.68]Q: What's the man's suggestion to the woman?
[03:45.00]14. M: You've had your hands full
[03:49.89]and have been overworked during the last two weeks. [03:53.25]I think you really need to go out
[03:56.07]and get some fresh air and sunshine.
[03:58.70]W: You are right.
[04:00.25]That's just what I am thinking about.
[04:04.03]Q: What's the woman most probably going to do?
[04:24.39]15. W: Hello, John.
[04:28.24]How are you feeling now?
[04:31.34]I hear you've been ill.
[04:33.01]M: They must have confused me with my twin brother Rod. [04:37.63]He's been sick all week,
[04:39.73]but I've never felt better in my life.
[04:43.57]Q: What do we learn about the man?
[05:03.19]16. M: Did you really give away all your furniture [05:09.49]when you moved into the new house last month?
[05:12.34]W: Just the useless pieces,
[05:15.69]as I'm planning to purchase a new set
[05:18.15]from Italy for the sitting room only.
[05:21.79]Q: What does the woman mean?
[05:40.78]17. M: I've brought back
[05:45.03]your Oxford Companion to English literature.
[05:48.38]I thought you might use it for your paper.
[05:51.58]Sorry not to have returned it earlier.
[05:54.58]W: I was wondering where that book was.
[05:58.73]Q: What can we infer from that conversation?
[06:18.50]18. W: To tell the truth, Tony,
[06:22.52]it never occurs to me that you are an athlete.
[06:26.08]M: Oh, really?
[06:27.41]Most people who meet me,
[06:29.74]including some friends of mine,
[06:31.84]don't think so either.
[06:34.36]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
[06:53.43]Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
[06:57.53]Conversation One
[06:59.74]M: Mary, I hope you are packed and ready to leave. [07:03.58]W: Yes, I'm packed,
[07:06.27]but not quite ready.
[07:07.95]I can't find my passport.
[07:10.84]M: Your passport?
[07:12.38]That's the one thing you mustn't leave behind.
[07:15.51]W: I know. I haven't lost it.
[07:18.90]I've packed it,
[07:20.77]but I can't remember which bag it's in.
[07:23.81]M: Well, you have to find it at the airport.
[07:26.93]Come on, the taxi is waiting.
[07:29.65]W: Did you say taxi?
[07:31.72]I thought we were going in your car.
[07:34.64]M: Yes, well, I had planned to,
[07:37.27]but I'll explain later.
[07:39.52]You've got to be there in an hour.
[07:42.05]W: The plane doesn't leave for two hours.
[07:44.87]Anyway, I'm ready to go now.
[07:48.00]M: Now you are taking just one case,
[07:51.22]is that right?
[07:52.68]W: No, there is one in the hall as well.
[07:55.86]M: Gosh, what a lot of stuff!
[07:59.21]You are taking enough for a month instead of a week. [08:02.74]W: Well, you can't depend on the weather.
[08:06.21]It might be cold.
[08:07.82]M: It's never cold in Rome.
[08:10.10]Certainly not in May.
[08:12.21]Come on, we really must go.
[08:15.16]W: Right, we are ready.
[08:17.38]We've got the bags,
[08:18.72]I'm sure there is no need to rush.
[08:21.19]M: There is.
[08:22.48]I asked the taxi driver to wait two minutes,
[08:25.75]not twenty.
[08:27.26]W: Look, I'm supposed to be going away to relax.
[08:31.18]You are making me nervous.
[08:33.29]M: Well, I want you to relax on holiday,
[08:36.27]but you can't relax yet.
[08:38.48]W: OK, I promise not to relax,
[08:42.26]at least not until we get to the airport
[08:44.87]and I find my passport.
[08:48.01]Questions 19 to 22 are based on
[08:52.05]the conversation you have just heard.
[08:55.45]19. What does the woman say about her passport?
[09:18.50]20. What do we know about the woman's trip?
[09:39.98]21. Why does the man urge the woman to hurry?
[10:02.50]22. Where does the conversation most probably take place? [10:26.28]Conversation Two
[10:28.71]W: Oh, I'm fed up with my job.
[10:32.24]M: Hey, there is a perfect job for you
[10:35.19]in the paper today.
[10:36.65]You might be interested.
[10:38.58]W: Oh, what is it?
[10:40.43]What do they want?
[10:42.10]M: Wait a minute.
[10:43.84]Eh, here it is.
[10:45.95]The European Space Agency is recruiting translators. [10:51.67]W: The European Space Agency?
[10:54.16]M: Well, that's what it says.
[10:56.43]They need an English translator
[10:59.14]to work from French or German.
[11:02.08]W: So they need a degree in French or German,
[11:05.87]I suppose.
[11:07.20]Well, I've got that.
[11:08.72]What's more, I have plenty of experience.
[11:12.09]What else are they asking for?
[11:14.66]M: Just that.
[11:16.47]A university degree and three or four years' experience as a translator
[11:22.15]in a professional environment.
[11:24.48]They also say the person should have a lively
[11:28.41]and enquiring mind, effective communication skills
[11:32.58]and the ability to work individually
[11:35.83]or as a part of the team.
[11:38.47]W: Well, if I stay at my present job much longer,
[11:42.13]I won't have any mind or skills left.
[11:45.27]By the way, what about salary?
[11:48.24]I just hope it isn't lower than what I get now.
[11:51.62]M: It's said to be negotiable.
[11:54.25]It depends on the applicant's education and experience. [11:58.75]In addition to basic salary,
[12:01.40]there is a list of extra benefits.
[12:04.02]Have a look yourself.
[12:06.05]W: Hm, travel and social security
[12:10.15]plus relocation expenses are paid.
[12:13.14]Hey, this isn't bad.
[12:15.66]I really want the job.
[12:19.55]Questions 23 to 25 are based on
[12:23.85]the conversation you have just heard.
[12:27.54]23. Why is the woman trying to find a new job?
[12:50.33]24. What position is being advertised in the paper? [13:13.50]25. What are the key factors that
[13:18.81]determine the salary of the new position?
[13:37.88]Section B
[13:39.62]Directions:
[13:42.04]In this section,
[13:43.65]you will hear 3 short passages.
[13:46.90]At the end of each passage,
[13:49.33]you will hear some questions.
[13:51.57]Both the passage and the questions
[13:54.32]will be spoken only once.
[13:57.69]After you hear a question,
[13:59.94]you must choose the best answer
[14:02.35]from the four choices
[14:03.81]marked A), B), C) and D).
[14:06.98]Then mark the corresponding letter
[14:09.04]on Answer Sheet 2
[14:11.28]with a single line through the centre.
[14:14.73]Passage One
[14:16.70]When couples get married,
[14:19.72]they usually plan to have children.
[14:22.26]Sometimes, however,
[14:24.15]a couple can not have a child of their own.
[14:26.93]In this case, they may decide to adopt a child.
[14:31.42]In fact, adoption is very common today.
[14:35.54]There are about 60,000 adoptions each year
[14:39.15]in the United States alone.
[14:41.34]Some people prefer to adopt infants,
[14:45.13]others adopt older children.
[14:48.05]Some couples adopt children from their own countries, [14:52.19]others adopt children from foreign countries.
[14:56.23]In any case, they all adopt children for the same reason: [15:01.30]they care about children
[15:03.02]and want to give their adopted child a happy life.
[15:07.56]Most adopted children know that they are adopted.
[15:13.14]Psychologists and child-care experts generally think [15:17.57]this is a good idea.
[15:19.60]However, many adopted children or adoptees
[15:23.97]have very little information
[15:25.92]about their biological parents.
[15:29.35]As a matter of fact,
[15:30.88]it is often very difficult for adoptees
[15:34.06]to find out about their birth parents,
[15:36.80]because the birth records of most adoptees
[15:39.83]are usually sealed.
[15:42.90]The information is secret,
[15:45.07]so no one can see it.
[15:48.48]Naturally, adopted children have different feelings [15:52.53]about their birth parents.
[15:55.42]Many adoptees want to search for them,
[15:58.07]but others do not.
[16:00.63]The decision to search for birth parents
[16:03.34]is a difficult one to make.
[16:06.13]Most adoptees have mixed feelings
[16:08.76]about finding their biological parents.
[16:12.09]Even though adoptees do not know
[16:14.33]about their natural parents,
[16:16.86]they do know that their adopted parents want them,
[16:20.28]love them and will care for them.
[16:24.46]Questions 26 to 29 are based on
[16:28.22]the passage you have just heard.
[16:31.37]26. According to the speaker,
[16:36.23]why do some couples adopt children?
[16:56.45]27. Why is it difficult for adoptees
[17:02.04]to find out about their birth parents?
[17:21.40]28. Why do many adoptees find it hard
[17:27.19]to make the decision to search for their birth parents? [17:47.55]29. What can we infer from the passage?
[18:08.95]Passage Two
[18:11.66]Katherine Gram graduated
[18:14.05]from the University of Chicago in 1938
[18:18.40]and got a job as a news reporter
[18:21.65]in San Francisco.
[18:23.58]Katherine's father used to be
[18:25.87]a successful investment banker.
[18:28.79]In 1933, he bought a failing newspaper,
[18:32.87]the Washington Post.
[18:35.19]Then Katherine returned to Washington
[18:38.58]and got a job,
[18:39.97]editing letters in her father's newspaper.
[18:43.56]She married Phillip Gram,
[18:45.71]who took over his father-in-law's position shortly after [18:49.54]and became a publisher of the Washington Post.
[18:54.00]But for many years,
[18:55.74]her husband suffered from mental illness
[18:58.64]and he killed himself in 1963.
[19:02.54]After her husband's death,
[19:05.17]Katherine operated the newspaper.
[19:08.16]In the 1970s,
[19:09.93]the newspaper became famous around the world
[19:13.43]and Katherine was also recognized
[19:16.56]as an important leader in newspaper publishing.
[19:20.49]She was the first woman
[19:22.53]to head a major American publishing company,
[19:26.17]the Washington Post Company.
[19:29.33]In a few years,
[19:31.07]she successfully expanded the company
[19:33.73]to include newspaper, magazine,
[19:36.91]broadcast and cable companies.
[19:40.54]She died of head injuries after a fall
[19:44.27]when she was 84.
[19:46.73]More than three thousand people attended her funeral, [19:51.31]including many government and business leaders.
[19:55.13]Her friends said she would be remembered
[19:57.51]as a woman who had an important influence
[20:00.51]on events in the United States and the world.
[20:04.83]Katherine once wrote,
[20:07.05]?°The world without newspapers
[20:09.03]would not be the same kind of world.?±
[20:12.08]After her death, the employees of the Washington Post wrote, [20:17.60]?°The world without Katherine would not be the same at all.?± [20:23.16]Questions 30 to 32 are based on
[20:27.24]the passage you have just heard.
[20:30.30]30. What do we learn from the passage
[20:34.36]about Katherine's father?
[20:52.56]31. What does the speaker tell us
[20:56.82]about Katherine Gram?
[21:15.04]32. What does the comment
[21:18.78]by employees of the Washington Post suggest?
[21:39.23]Passage Three
[21:41.77]Obtaining good health insurance
[21:45.34]is a real necessity while you are studying overseas. [21:49.67]It protects you from minor
[21:52.01]and major medical expenses
[21:54.17]that can wipe out not only your savings
[21:57.08]but your dreams of an education abroad.
[22:00.81]There are often two different types of health insurance [22:05.33]you can consider buying,
[22:07.32]international travel insurance
[22:09.99]and student insurance in the country
[22:13.11]where you will be going.
[22:15.50]An international travel insurance policy
[22:18.86]is usually purchased in your home country
[22:21.97]before you go abroad.
[22:24.59]It generally covers a wide variety of medical services [22:28.63]and you are often given a list of doctors in the area [22:32.88]where you will travel who may even speak your native language. [22:37.71]The drawback might be that
[22:39.49]you may not get your money back immediately.
[22:42.97]In other words,
[22:43.90]you may have to pay all your medical expenses
[22:47.41]and then later submit your receipt
[22:50.13]to the insurance company.
[22:52.56]On the other hand,
[22:54.21]getting student health insurance in the country
[22:57.47]where you will study might allow you
[22:59.84]to only pay a certain percentage of the medical cost [23:03.11]at the time of service
[23:04.79]and thus you don't have to have sufficient cash
[23:08.61]to pay the entire bill at once.
[23:11.89]Whatever you decide,
[23:14.12]obtaining some form of health insurance
[23:17.20]is something you should consider
[23:19.01]before you go overseas.
[23:21.78]You shouldn't wait until you are sick
[23:24.04]with major medical bills to pay off.
[23:28.76]Questions 33 to 35 are based on
[23:33.25]the passage you have just heard.
[23:36.73]33. Why does the speaker advise overseas students [23:42.68]to buy health insurance?
[24:00.60]34. What is the drawback of students
[24:05.52]buying international travel insurance?
[24:24.93]35. What does the speaker say
[24:29.61]about students getting health insurance
[24:32.05]in the country where they will study?
[24:49.79]Section C
[24:51.60]Directions:
[24:53.59]In this section,
[24:54.97]you will hear a passage three times.
[24:57.97]When the passage is read for the first time,
[25:01.35]you should listen carefully for its general idea. [25:05.38]When the passage is read for the second time,
[25:08.94]you are required to fill in the blanks
[25:12.12]numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words
[25:17.59]you have just heard.
[25:19.33]For blanks numbered from 44 to 46
[25:24.14]you are required to fill in the missing information. [25:28.87]For these blanks,
[25:30.59]you can either use the exact words
[25:33.22]you have just heard or write down the main points [25:37.17]in your own words.
[25:39.42]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, [25:44.40]you should check what you have written.
[25:47.68]Now listen to the passage:
[25:52.35]More and more of the world's population
[25:55.46]are living in towns or cities.
[25:58.47]The speed at which cities are growing
[26:00.84]in the less developed countries is alarming.
[26:03.78]Between 1920 and 1960,
[26:07.46]big cities in developed countries
[26:10.06]increased two and a half times in size,
[26:13.27]but in other parts of the world the growth
[26:15.40]was eight times their size.
[26:18.94]The sheer size of growth is bad enough,
[26:22.80]but there are now also very disturbing signs of trouble [26:26.13]in the comparison of percentages of people
[26:29.30]living in towns and percentages of people
[26:32.34]working in industry.
[26:34.98]During the 19th century,
[26:37.55]cities grew as a result of the growth of industry. [26:41.50]In Europe,
[26:42.77]the proportion of people living in cities
[26:45.48]was always smaller than
[26:47.34]that of the workforce working in factories.
[26:50.90]Now, however,
[26:52.32]the reverse is almost always true
[26:55.16]in the newly industrialized world:
[26:58.30]The percentage of people living in cities
[27:00.78]is much higher than the percentage working in industry. [27:05.61]Without a base of people working in industry,
[27:09.37]these cities cannot pay for their growth;
[27:12.73]there is not enough money to build adequate houses [27:15.93]for the people that live there,
[27:17.42]let alone the new arrivals.
[27:20.21]There has been little opportunity
[27:22.84]to build water supplies or other facilities.
[27:26.42]So the figures for the growth of towns
[27:29.42]and cities represent proportional growth
[27:32.63]of unemployment and underemployment,
[27:36.16]a growth in the number of hopeless
[27:38.14]and despairing parents and starving children.
[27:43.11]Now the passage will be read again.
[27:46.98]W: More and more of the world's population
[27:49.77]are living in towns or cities.
[27:52.34]The speed at which cities are growing
[27:54.87]in the less developed countries is alarming.
[27:59.37]Between 1920 and 1960,
[28:02.36]big cities in developed countries
[28:04.91]increased two and a half times in size,
[28:09.14]but in other parts of the world
[28:10.98]the growth was eight times their size.
[28:14.95]The sheer size of growth is bad enough,
[28:19.08]but there are now also very disturbing signs of trouble [28:23.03]in the comparison of percentages of people
[28:26.21]living in towns
[28:27.41]and percentages of people working in industry.
[28:32.24]During the 19th century,
[28:34.99]cities grew as a result of the growth of industry. [28:38.98]In Europe,
[28:39.80]the proportion of people
[28:41.73]living in cities was always smaller
[28:44.32]than that of the workforce working in factories.
[28:48.46]Now, however,
[28:50.37]the reverse is almost always true
[28:53.32]in the newly industrialized world:
[28:55.90]The percentage of people
[28:57.82]living in cities is much higher
[29:00.19]than the percentage working in industry.
[30:09.25]Without a base of people working in industry,
[30:12.52]these cities cannot pay for their growth;
[30:16.29]there is not enough money
[30:17.83]to build adequate houses for the people
[30:20.69]that live there,
[30:21.97]let alone the new arrivals.
[31:37.23]There has been little opportunity
[31:39.37]to build water supplies or other facilities.
[31:42.89]So the figures for the growth of towns
[31:45.81]and cities represent proportional growth of
[31:49.60]unemployment and underemployment,
[33:12.78]a growth in the number of hopeless
[33:14.72]and despairing parents and starving children.
[33:19.18]Now the passage will be read
[33:21.15]for the third time.
[33:23.69]W: More and more of the world's population
[33:27.02]are living in towns or cities.
[33:29.56]The speed at which cities are growing
[33:32.40]in the less developed countries is alarming.
[33:35.67]Between 1920 and 1960,
[33:39.08]big cities in developed countries
[33:41.71]increased two and a half times in size,
[33:45.15]but in other parts of the world
[33:46.95]the growth was eight times their size.
[33:50.27]The sheer size of growth is bad enough,
[33:53.78]but there are now also very disturbing signs of trouble [33:57.34]in the comparison of percentages of people
[34:00.20]living in towns and percentages of people
[34:03.48]working in industry.
[34:05.81]During the 19th century,
[34:08.96]cities grew as a result of the growth of industry. [34:12.99]In Europe,
[34:14.11]the proportion of people
[34:15.66]living in cities was always smaller
[34:18.39]than that of the workforce
[34:20.01]working in factories.
[34:22.18]Now, however,
[34:23.58]the reverse is almost always true
[34:26.56]in the newly industrialized world:
[34:29.55]The percentage of people
[34:31.19]living in cities is much higher
[34:33.82]than the percentage working in industry.
[34:37.25]Without a base of people working in industry,
[34:40.87]these cities cannot pay for their growth;
[34:44.07]there is not enough money
[34:45.80]to build adequate houses for the people
[34:47.99]that live there,
[34:49.09]let alone the new arrivals.
[34:52.52]There has been little opportunity
[34:54.36]to build water supplies or other facilities.
[34:58.41]So the figures for the growth of towns and cities
[35:01.78]represent proportional growth of
[35:04.16]unemployment and underemployment,
[35:07.68]a growth in the number of hopeless
[35:09.82]and despairing parents
[35:11.36]and starving children.
[35:15.98]This is the end of listening comprehension.

Part II Listening Comprehension Section A News Report One 【话题预测】由college students，sleep，problem，stress，psychological 等词可推断，本则新闻与大学生 睡眠或心理健康有关。 【正确答案】1—2 B D 听力原文 You probably think college students are experts at sleeping, but parties, preparations for tests, personal problems and general stress can wreck a student’s sleep habits, which can be bad for the body and the mind. Texas Tech University is even offering a class called “Improving Your Sleep Habits”. People suffering from sleep loss are at an increased risk from obesity, psychological problems and car crashes. Students who don’t get enough sleep have poor attendance and lower grades. On top of all that, a new study published in the journal Learning and Memory finds you are probably better off
英语四级听力解题技巧之“一二三四” 一个中心：A部分以大学校园生活为中心 四级听力的A部分试题中，有很多都直接来自托福（TOEFL）听力A部分，还有部分是托福听力试题改编的。托福考试的目的就是检测非英语国家学生是否到美国接受高等教育的语言能力，其中听力的测试范围主要是大学校园生活（campus life）。通过历年试题的研究可以看出，四级听力A部分大多数试题涉及到大学校园生活。谈话的话题大多涉及大学生活中的各个场景，诸如吃饭、学习、借书、做作业、考试、开车、生病、找工作等等。每一类场景都有特定的词汇和固定谈话思路，我们可以通过选项的一些词汇，推测谈话的话题。带着托福情结的部分四、六级听力试题，答案是很有规律的。 在四级听力中，常见的场景有：（1）作业场景；作业包括assignment，paper，essay，presentation，experiment等形式，作业一般很多，很难。（2）课程及考试场景；课程（course）一般很难，very challenging，好让有志于赴美读书的各国青年才俊们三思而后行。（3）授课场景；教授的课（含lecture，presentation等）讲的极为枯燥，很难听懂但是学生却对教授评价甚高；（4）考试场景；考试一般很难，女生比男生用功，考的好，还很爱帮助男生上进。（5）放假场景；大家思乡心切，急于回家。（7）打工找工作场景：工作难找，面试要做充分准备。（8）事故场景：学生一般命大，遇到交通事故（甚至飞机坠毁），往往车（包括自行车）毁而人无大碍，受点轻伤或者毫发未伤。（9）看show场景；一般人多票难买。（10）噪音场景；一般是嫌原来的住处too noisy，不利于安心学习。（11）找人一般找不到。（12）教授、医生、学生一般都很忙。（13）飞机、火车一般都晚点。（14）遇事不要着急，要耐心，要等待。
2017年6月大学英语四级考试真题（一）听力原文【News Report 1】 One of Google's self-driving cars crashed into a bus in California last month. There were no injuries. It is not the first time one of Google's famed self-driving cars has been involved in a crash, but it may be the first time it has caused one. On February 14th the self-driving car, travelling at 2mph (3km/h), pulled out in front of a public bus going 15mph (24km/h). The man in the Google vehicle reported that he assumed the bus would slow down to let the car out, and so he did not switch to the manual mode. In a statement, Google said: "We clearly bear some responsibility,?because if our car hadn't moved, there wouldn't have been a crash." That said, our test driver believed the bus was going to slow or stop to allow us to merge into the traffic, and that there would be sufficient space to do that." The company's self-driving cars have done well over a million
