英语专四听写模拟练习全套 英语专四听写练习：女人的生活发生了改变 A Change in Women’s Life The important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them. Useful Words and Expressions: life-pattern生活方式 Share 英语专四听写模拟：美国和英国的警察局 British and American Police Officers Real policemen, both in Britain and the U.S., hardly recognize any common points between their lives and what they se on TV—if they ever get home in time. Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them much of them. The first difference is that a policeman’s real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to p rove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what’s more, he has to put it into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to. Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty--- or not of stupid, unimportantcrimes. Useful Words and Expressions: 1 think much of 重视，尊重 2 in court 在法庭上 3 criminal 罪犯，犯罪者 4 guilty 犯罪的，有罪的 英语专四听写练习：阿尔伯特爱因斯坦 Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879, His father owned a factory that made electrical devices.

2017年英语专八听力原文 英语专八考生平时复习听力的时，候往年的英语专八真题听力原文是很好的复习资料，专八考生可以先根据听力做题之后再根据专八听力原文进行分析自己的错题点。下面是新东方在线英语专八频道为大家整理的2017年英语专八听力原文。 sectionA mini-lecture The Modes of Language 语言的模式 Good morning, everyone! 大家早上好! In our last lecture, I was talking about language as part of our semiotic system. 上次我们讲到，语言是符号系统的一部分。 And today I am going to move on to another topic, that is, the modes of language. 今天我们讲下一个话题，语言的模式。 As you may know, messages are transmitted in human language most frequently through two primary modes: speech and writing. 大家都知道，人类语言中的信息通常以两种基本模式传递：“说”和“写”。 Well, you know, there is also a third mode, which is not that frequently used as speech and writing. 当然，还有第三种模式，但不如“说”和“写”那么常用。 The third mode is called signing, which is used by deaf people. 第三种模式叫作手势语，听障者经常用这种方式。 But in today's lecture, we will just focus on speech and writing, and the specific features of these two modes. 但是今天，我们主要讲“说”和“写”，以及这两种模式的特点。 In linguistics, it is commonly noted that speech is primary and writing secondary. 语言学上普遍认为，先有“说”，才有“写”。 Linguistics take this position because all languages are spoken except those dead languages such as Latin, which is only existent in written form. 语言学有这样的观点，是因为世界上说什么语言的人都有，除了那些已经废弃的语言，比如只以书面形式继续存在着的拉丁语。 All children will naturally acquire the spoken version of a language if they are exposed to it. 直接接触一种语言的话，所有儿童都会自然习得这种语言的口语。
002 A Change in Women’s Life The important change in women's life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them. (154 words) Useful Words and Expressions: life-pattern 生活方式 effect [i'fekt] n. 结果，效果，作用，影响 The old system is still in effect. 旧制度仍然有效。 He is, in effect, my rival. 实际上他是我的竞争对手。 The medicine quickly took effect. 药物很快见效了。 share vt. 分享；共享，参与n. 一份，部分，份额 share responsibility 共同负责 share a room with sb. 与某人共居一室 share the joys and hardships 同甘共苦 We shared the sweets. 我们分吃了糖果。 one's share of the cake分享的一份好处，应得的一份

Dictations from 2000——2006 2000年 What We Know About Language Many things about language are a mystery and will remain so. However, we now do know something about it. First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. No human race anywhere on earth is so backward that it has no language of its own at all. Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped but the languages they speak are by no means primitive. In all the languages existing in the world today, there are complexities that must have been developed for years. Third, we know that all languages are perfectly adequate. Each is a perfect means of expressing its culture. And finally, we know that language changes over time, which is natural and normal if a language is to survive. The language which remains unchanged is nothing but dead. 2001年 Characteristics of a Good Reader To improve your reading habits, you must understand the characteristics of a good reader. First, the good reader usually reads rapidly. Of course, he does not read every piece of material at the same rate. But whether he is reading a newspaper or a chapter in a physics text, his reading rate is relatively fast. He has learned to read for ideas rather than words one at a time. Next, the good reader can recognize and understand general ideas and specific details. Thus he is able to comprehend the material with a minimum of effort and a maximum of interest. Finally, the good reader has at his command several special skills, which he can apply to reading problems as they occur. For the college student, the most helpful of these skills include making use of the various aids to understanding that most textbooks provide and skim-reading for a general survey. 2002年 Disappearing forests The world’s forests are disappearing.∕As much as a third of the total tree cover has been lost/ since agriculture began some 10000years ago. / The remaining forests are home to half of the world species, /thus becoming the chief resource for their survival. /Tropical rain forests once covered 12％of the land of the planet / as well as supporting at least half of the world species of plants and animals./ There rain forests are home to millions of people,/ but there are other demands on them ./For example, much has been cut for timber,/ and an increasing amount of forestland has been used for industrial purposes/ or for agricultural development, such as crop growing./By the 1900s,less than half of the earth’s original rain forests remained,/ and they continue to disappear at an alarming rate every year./ As a result, the world’s forests are now facing a gradual extinction. 2003年 Salmon Every year millions of salmon swim from the ocean/ into the mouths of the rivers and then steadily out of the rivers, / Passing through waters, around the rocks and waterfalls,/ the fish finally reach their original streams or lakes./ They dig up nests in the riverbed and lay their eggs. /
