英语专业四级考试1993年——203年听写原文 1993 Package Holidays Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive place, are increasingly popular. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination．Everything is laid on for you．There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother to arrange anything yourselves．You make friends and have a good time. But there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people．This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time traveling．Of course, there are carefully planned stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient. But time is always short．There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend you holiday with a group of people you have never met before． (1994) The American Family The American family unit is changing. There used to be mainly two types of families, the extended and the nuclear. The former included mother, father, children, and some other relatives such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby. Then as the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people began moving to different parts of the country in order to search for job opportunities. These moves split up the extended family. The nuclear family consisting of only parents and children has therefore become far more wide spread. Today’s family, however, can be composed of diverse co mbinations. With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there's an increase in single-parent homes—a father or mother living with one or more children. Blended families occur when divorced men and women remarry and combine the children from former marriages into a new family. On the other hand, there is an increase in childless couples while one in rive Americans lives alone. (1995) Unidentified Flying Objects There are many explanations for why UFOs visit the Earth. / The most popular one is that they maybe visitors from other planets./ To fly such aircraft, their builders must develop different forms of aviation,/because they seem to fly much faster than normal aircraft./ The UFOs, it is believed, must contain scientists/ from other planets who are studying life on earth./ It is even believed that several such aircraft may have landed on earth/ and the space visitors may be living amongst us./ But there are also less fantastic explanations available./ Although some sightings of UFOs are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily./ In many cases the observers might have made a mistake./ They might have seen a weather balloon or an aircraft./ Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground,/ reflected on to the clouds./ However, the exact cause of many sightings still remained a mystery.

[01:04.06]British Holidaying Habits [01:07.01]In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable [01:10.93]for the average family in the UK, [01:13.95]and more people started travelling abroad [01:16.22]for their summer holidays. [01:18.83]After all, the British weather wasn't very good, [01:22.39]even in summer, [01:23.72]so a lot of people left the country for a vacation.

英语四六级听力长对话应试技巧 ?长对话共两篇每篇3０0词左右共7道题 ?长对话侧重于对话内容理解得整体性。 长对话得篇幅较长,想要听过之后就能将主要得内容都清楚地记在脑子里,几乎就是不可能得。考生只有听一遍得机会,只能边听、边记、边答。 边听边记就是听力中一项非常重要得技能，但就是做笔记并不就是要把听到得每一个单词都记下来,笔记无非就是帮助记忆得手段,只要能把重要得信息用可识别得符号记录下来,就算达到了目得。因此为了提高听与记得效率,应注意把握一定得技巧与原则。 英语四六级听力长对话6大边听边记技能 一、抓住首尾句 主题句常常就是在对话得开头,它对整个对话得内容起一个概括与提示得作用,实际上就是说话人所谈论得中心话题。长对话中得第一题很可能就是针对对话得开头提问,考查考生对整个对话得主题或所谈话题得把握。 结尾处往往涉及到建议、决定或某种行为等，它对整个对话起到一个总结得作用。长对话得最后一题经常就是针对对话得结尾设题,故留意其中得关键动词就成了解题得关键。 二、留意对话中得一问一答 长对话中，对话双方往往出现多个一问一答,而这一恰恰就是长对话得一个出题重点,对话后面问题往往就就是对话原文中问题得照搬或就是同义转述，因此其答案就就是对话中紧接问题之后得答语,而且一般不会有同音或近音词得干扰,因此对于这类题目答案得基本原则就就是＂听到什么选什么"。 三、留意重复率较高得词或短语 对话得主要内容理所当然会得到说话人得强调,而一个非常重要,也就是非常明显得强调方式就就是重复,而且重复得词语往往能够揭示对话得主题。因此对那些对话双方多次提到得词语或内容应进行重点记忆。 四、留意选项中得要点内容 正确选项往往与原文相似,或就是原文得同义表达,因此应注意提取选项中得关键点,在听音时留意其就是否在文中出现并加以记录。 五、留意数字、人名、地名、时间、年代等相关信息
英语专业四级听写50篇 前言 听写在英语专业四级统考中占有15％的比重，是考试的重要组成部分。 说起听写，正在准备和已经参加过英语专业四级考试的同学会说： “我能明白听写的内容，可写的时候就是跟不上！”“短文大意我明白，可是有的语我不 会写。” 这只反映出了问题的两个方面。一是听写速度不够快。二是词汇量不够或词汇掌握得不够准确。这些无疑是影响听写成绩的重要因素。但是，这些不是问题的全部。在从事听写教学及听写问卷过程中，很容易发现学生失分的具体问题： （1）没听懂，没听好，听写速度跟不上，写出的内容断断续续不连贯，学生因此大量失分； （2）有的词汇没听懂，拼写不够准确，这导致听写失分； （3）时态错误导致失分； （4）单复数不准确导致失分； （5）没有注意断句或专有名词，句子开头单词或专有名词错误使用大小写导致失分； （6）没有注意原文冠词的使用，书写时漏掉冠词导 致失分； （7）没有注意单数第三人称形式导致失分； （8）没有注意单数复数名词的形式导致失分。 上述问题的产生有的是缺乏训练造成的，如书写速度跟不上。有的则是语言基础较 差造成的，如听力较差没有完全听懂或没有掌握好词汇。而单复数、大小写、冠词漏写 等则多是粗心大意造成的。 听写部分能提高吗？ 当然能！而且提高的空间很大。 笔者从事英语专业基础教学与研究，从一开始所带的教学班参加四级考试超过全国 院校平均通过率28．2个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校平均通过率12．5个百分点开始，所带的教学班在全国英语专业④级统考中通过率始终ito％，平均成绩、优秀率始终名列 前茅。最近一次所带的教学班参加四级统考，又考出了很好的成绩，通过率超过全国院 校平均水平26石个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校13．6个百分点，而且在十几个平行 班中平均成绩是最高的，优秀人数也是最多的。在四级考试中，听写一项的成绩也不例外，每次均位居第一，本项目满分15分，所带班级平均成绩能够达到14分。 是不是学生基础很好？统计表明，和平行班相比所带班级入学时并不存在什么特别 优势。 教学经验表明，听写成功的关键是训练方法和体现训练方法的训练材料。 听写训练过程中无论是老师还是学生都有必要注意以下几点： 二．扭握淤轿肘虚度大纲要求第一遍用正常速

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you
