第一部分：听力文本
Former US Presidents Make Televised Appeal for Haiti Aid
Former U.S.Presidents George W.Bush and Bill Clinton are going directly to the American people with a joint appeal to help the Haitian earthquake victims.One day after they were asked by President Barack Obama to help mobilize public support,they were seen in a series of joint appearances on American television.
Their politics may be different.But George W.Bush and Bill Clinton stress they are of one mind on Haiti.
President Clinton told NBC's Meet the Press that this is a time for Americans to put their political differences aside and unite to help the Haitian people."I think it reminds us of our common humanity.It reminds us of needs that go beyond fleeting disagreements.Whatever our policy disputes are,they do not seem to matter much when people are dying,"he said.
On the Fox News Sunday program,President Bush talked about the gut-wrenching images from Haiti that he has seen on television and in newspapers."I feel sick to my stomach.I feel-it is really emotional.And that is the way it is for a lot of Americans.And therefore,a lot of Americans want to help.And our job is to make sure their help is not squander ed,that it is spent properly,"he said.
President Obama has tap ped Rajiv Shah,the head of the U.S.Agency for International Development,to oversee the government's aid efforts in Haiti.
Shah told ABC's This Week the challenge is enormous. "We are getting more and more out each day and that is our metric of success.Every single day we need to do more than we did before," he said.
American military forces are relying largely on helicopters to ferry loads of supplies to those most in need as many roads are impassable.General Ken Keen-who is one of the officers in charge of the operation-says paratroopers have been able to do their job without major problems.But he admits there are growing security concerns as tempers flare among the quake survivors and patience wears thin."We need a safe and secure environment to be successful.But fortunately, we have a United Nations mission here,which has been doing this for several years,"he said.
But Keen told Meet the Press the United Nations is transition ing to cope with a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions.He said he did not know how many more American troops might be needed to help keep Haiti secure,but stressed any U.S.action would be in conjunction with the United Nations.
美国前总统布什和克林顿联合向美国人民呼吁援助海地地震受害者。受美国总统奥巴马邀请动员公众支持一天之后，两人双双在一系列美国电视节目中露面。
他们的政见或许有所不同。但是乔治.W.布什和比尔·克林顿强调，在援助海地方面，他们的想法是完全一致的。
在NBC电视台的《与媒体见面》节目中，克林顿总统表示，此时此刻，美国人民应该把政治分歧放在一旁，团结起来帮助海地人民。“我认为这使我们想起了我们共同的仁慈之心，这提醒我们放弃短暂的争论的必要性。无论我们在政治方面有多少争论，面临人们的死亡时，这都是微不足道的。”
在《福克斯周日新闻》节目中，布什总统谈到了他在电视和报纸上看到的痛苦景象。“我感到很不舒服。我感到——这真的是非常动情的一刻。我认为许多美国人都是同样的感觉。因此，许多美国民众想要提供帮助。我们的工作就是确保他们的帮助不被浪费，确保他们的捐赠得到恰当的处理。”
奥巴马总统已经派遣国际开发署署长拉吉夫·沙阿(Rajiv Shah)负责监管美国政府在海地的救援工作。
沙阿告诉ABC电台的“本周”节目，目前的挑战是非常艰巨的。“我们每天都救出更多的人。这是我们衡量成功的标志。我们每天都要比前一天做更多的工作。”
由于许多道路不能通行，美国军方主要依靠直升飞机向最需要帮助的地区运送救济物资。负责此次行动的官员之一，Ken Keen将军表示，伞兵得以顺利的完成工作，没有遇到重大问题。但是他承认，随着地震幸存者的焦躁情绪逐渐蔓延，人们的耐心越来越少，安全方面的担忧逐渐滋长。“我们需要安全可靠的环境来获得成功。但是幸运的是，我们的联合国任务已经在这里进行了几年的时间。”
但是Keen告诉《与媒体见面》节目，联合国已经逐渐开始向应对人道主义灾难过渡。他说，他不知道还需要增派多少美国军队来维持海地的安全和稳定。但是他强调，美国的任何行动必须与联合国协同进行。

一.Scientists: Rising Sea Levels to Continue Scientists say sea levels are rising and will continue to do so into the future. Coastal communities around the world are already experiencing the impact of rising seas. Many cities and towns are taking steps to deal with this new reality. Photographers have taken pictures to document those efforts. Their photos are part of an exhibit called "Sink or Swim: Designing for a Sea Change." It can be seen at the Aquarium of the Pacific, in Long Beach, California. There, experts explain the causes of the rising seas and how people are trying to adapt to the changes. Disastrous storms and floods could be a new reality around the world. That is the opinion of oceanographer Jerry Schubel. He is president of the Aquarium of the Pacific. 二.Robots Ready to Work in Restaurants For many years, machines have been doing work that people once did, including some difficult jobs. Search and rescue operations in dangerous environments are often seen as the first areas that will employ high technology robots. But there is another area that may soon take jobs traditionally held by human beings: the restaurant industry. Teams from around the world competed in early June at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals in California. A team from South Korea and its robot, called DRC-Hubo, won first place in the competition. The second and third place finishers were from the United States. The robots were required to drive a vehicle, climb up steps and do mechanical work. Such activities are easy for humans to perform, but more difficult for machines. Not all of the competitors were successful. The failures showed how difficult it is to design effective walking machines.
From VOA Learning English, this is the Agriculture(农业的）Report. Climate change has caused a rise in sea levels. This has increased the amount of salt in fresh water used on coastal farms. As a result farmers are increasingly unable to use fields close to the sea. Scientists call this process "salinization（盐渍化）." The term（术语）comes from the word "saline" （生理盐水）-- which means a mixture of salt and water. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says salinization is reducing the world's irrigated lands by 1 to 2 percent every year. Irrigation is the process of supplying land with fresh water from other areas. As saline water cannot be used for irrigation, a farm in Netherlands has managed to grow healthy and tasty vegetables in soil irrigated with salt water. But a farmer in the Netherlands is now using a mixture of sea and fresh water to grow healthy and tasty vegetables.
如何用voa学习 最佳实践一：用VOA Special English 练听力 网站上提供的VOA Special English 节目文本是配有MP3声音的，声音文件由美国本土资深专业播音员录制，如果想有效提高自己的英语听力，VOA Special English 节目资料将是非常好的听力练习素材。而最快最有效的提高英语听力的方法就是做听写，怎么听呢？下面分几个层次介绍听写的方法。 （一）初级英语水平学生（相当于高中英语水平）做听写的方法 1、下载一个5 分钟的report 到电脑里（包括下载report的MP3录音和文本），准备好一本英汉词典或电子词典 2、认真阅读report文本一至两遍，遇到不懂的单词请立即查词典。 3、将文本放在一边，开始听report的MP3录音，并将听到的写下来，就是做听写练习。一直循环播放，尽可能的将自己能听写出来的，全部写出来。 4、将自己的听写稿和原稿对照，找出没有听写出来的词句，并标上记号，这些没有听出来的词句可能很简单，但事实是你没有听写出来，这些就是你听力的盲点，所以要特别留意。
5、再反复地听report的MP3录音，这次不用纸笔听写，而是在脑袋里做听写，就是指当你听到一句的时候，脑袋里把这一句给拼出来，确保听清每一个词句，并留意你在听写时没有写出来的词句的发音。 6、第二天再听上面的report的MP3录音，并采用上面第5点所用的听法。第四天再听上面的report的MP3录音，等到第七天再听几篇，仍采用上面第5点所用的听法。为什么要反复地听？因为我们之所以听不懂，是因为听的太少了。反复听的目的在于强化，让你形成一种听力条件反射，就是让你拥有一听到某些词句就能立即条件反射式地在脑袋里写出来你所听到的词句。 练习听力有点像练习电脑打字里的盲打，花时间多做练习自然就会盲打，如果只是想着如何学习盲打而不加以练习，那你永远也学不会盲打。 （二）中级英语水平学生（相当于低年级英语专业，非英语专业大学本科，硕士水平）做听写的方法 基本方法与初级英语水平学生采用的方法类似，选择听写材料时先初听一遍，如果已经真真正正能完全听懂，说明这篇对你来讲太容易了，请换一遍难点的，采用上述方法的1、3、4、5、6条的顺序做听写练习。 最佳实践二：用VOA Special English 训练出纯正英语发音和表达 当你在听中文学得还不错的外国人讲中文时，经常觉得听上去很别扭，因为他的
1．Three university students in Santiago,Chile have developed a phant-powerd device to charge their mobile phones.The three engineering students got the idea for the device while sitting in their school’s courtyard.Their invention is a small biological circuit they call E-Kaia.It captures the energy plants produce during photosynthesis.Aphant uses only a small part of the energy produced by that process,The rest goes into the soil.E-Kaia collects that energy.The device plugs into the ground and then into a mobile phone.The E-Kaia solved two problems for the engineering studnts,They needed an idea for a class project.They also needed an outlet to plug in their phones.One of the student inventors,CamilaRupcich,says the device charges the energy released from the plant into low-level power to charge phones.The E-Kaia is able to fully recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.I’m Jonathan Evans. 2．University of Washington researchers say they used a laser to turn hot water into cool water. Five engineers from the university are the first in the 50-year history of the laser to refrigerate liquids under normal conditions with light beams. The group used a simple approach to the experiment. Lasers are known for producing hot temperatures. The University of Washington says they “essentially ran the laser phenomenon in reverse.” The discovery has a future in the computer and medical fields. Computer interiors could be cooled by lasers. In a medical laboratory, individual cells could be cooled to see how they react. “Few people have thought about how they could use this technology to solve problems because using lasers to refrigerate liquids hasn’t been possible before,” said researcher Peter Pauzauskie.The cool laser concept can also be used in manufacturing, telecommunications or national defense.The group has an interest in hearing from businesses or scientists who may have every day applications for the cool laser. The findings were published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. I’m Marsha James. 3．The United States is marking the 14th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. U.S. officials and many other Americans attended observances Friday to remember those killed and their loved ones. Nearly 3,000 people died on September 11, 2001 when hijackers used four passenger airplanes to carry out suicide attacks in the United States. In addition to the victims, the 19 hijackers also were killed. Al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his group claimed responsibility for the attacks. U.S. forces killed him in a surprise raid on his hiding place in Pakistan four years ago. Friday morning, President Barack Obama, his wife and White House workers observed a public moment of silence in Washington. They gathered on the White House grounds at 8:46. That was the exact time when a hijacked airplane struck the World Trade Center. In New York, families of the victims gathered for a ringing of bells and reading of the names of those killed in the terrorist attacks. Moments of silence were held at 8:46 and 9:03 in the morning, when a second hijacked plane also hit the World Trade Center. Near Washington, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter and other officials attended an observance at the Pentagon, the home of the Defense Department. They joined in remembering those killed when a hijacked airplane hit the Pentagon, killing 184 people. Earlier Friday, a large American flag was hung down the side of the Pentagon, where the passenger jet hit. There also was a moment of silence at 10:03 a.m. That was the time when a fourth hijacked plane crashed in western Pennsylvania. All 44 people on the plane were killed. Many Americans believe the hijackers had planned to attack a target in the nation’s
VOA常速英语听力2012年11月合辑（文本）： Experts-Not-Hopeful-About-Doha-Climate-Conference Al Pessin November 19, 2012 LONDON — When representatives from around the world meet in Doha, Qatar, November 26 through December 7, they may feel a new sense of urgency to address their assigned topic, climate change. Experts are not very hopeful, however, about the meeting. For decades, talk of climate change has evoked images of melting ice and stranded polar bears. But it is not just about the polar bears any more. Experts say warming temp eratures and rising oceans are cont ributing to the creation of larger, more destructive storms. At the London offices of the environmental group Greenpeace, chief policy adviser Ruth Davis said as more people experience climate change effects, policy changes become more likely. “More and more people ar e becoming subjects of the impacts of climate change. And it is really important that governments going into Doha recognize that and take that in with them, so they have a sense of urgency and focus,” said Davis. Climate disasters not only affect those who lose their homes, but also impact crop yields, food prices, insurance rates, public health and many other issues. The director of the Climate Change Institute at London’s Imperial College, Brian Hoskins, said the key to generating support for policy changes may be when those events h appen more often, and more severely, in influential countries. “There is a tendency to think that disasters might happen in Bangladesh, but they would not happen in New Orleans or New York. But they have happened in New Orleans and New York. We see that however advanced we think we are in terms of development, we are still very dependent on the environment,” said Hoskins. Greenpeace's Davis said leaders need to recognize the costs of inaction, and also the ben efits of promoting alternative ways to produce energy, that do not contribute to global warming - methods like solar, wind and geothermal power generation. “It would take a decade, maybe longer, to be able to shift the situation. But it would not take so long to be able to get to a place where we began to deploy those technologies on an enormous scale," she said. "Then, once we have started, actually
英语四级复习计划 英语四级复习计划 很多同学可能心中对新学期有了很多期待，除了扎实巩固专业课，英语四级考试可能也是新的目标。那么，如何合理利用复习时间，准备12月份的英语四级考试呢?首先我们要了解英语四级考试的题型，然后对症下药，各个击破! 作文跟词汇和语法都有很大关系，词汇决定了你作文内容的丰富程度，而语法决定了你作文的正确程度。平常可以有计划地每天背一些单词，日积月累词汇量就会增大很多。而语法除了有意识地看看语法书外，更重要的在于去运用，在阅读中分析句子的语法结构，并有意识地模仿。 当然，作文光说不练是不够的，可以从词汇、句型、段落、篇章布局四个角度，依据不同的文章体裁，分别准备。借鉴和模板可以，但不能依靠这些，否则作文就容易落入俗套，引起阅卷老师反感。多尝试自己去写，比如给自己规定每周一篇作文，把这一周学到的单词、句型结合起来，真正做到学以致用，到时候考试的时候这些内容就可以信手拈来。 听力的提高的是靠平时的练习，所以，在考前两三个月就要每天坚持听力练习，磨练自己的耳朵(去淘淘听力材料)。其实听力和口语也有很大关系，如果自己发音不准，口语不好，就不太容易听懂听力里面的说话形式，很可能听错、听不懂。所以平时
也可以多练习口语，熟悉不同的发音。建议平时精听和泛听相结合，分三阶段进行练习。 阶段一：9月-10月利用bbc、慢速美音和标准美音素材进行反复听写练习，熟悉各类语音、语调、语速，基础较为薄弱的同学可以从慢速voa开始。刚开始听的时候很容易被各类人名、地名或新闻事件专有名词所阻挠，这个时候一定要坚持下去，要相信努力就会有收获。 阶段二：11月继续进行bbc、voa听力练习的同时可以听一些流行美语、走遍美国、地道英语之类的听力节目，因为这些材料中对话部分是对生活情景的最佳分类，是积累听力考试对话场景词汇的最佳素材，而一些短小文章性的素材则有助于篇章对话与听写的提高。 阶段三：11月-12月这一个月是考前冲刺的关键时期，所以真题的演练必不可少。这一阶段可收集历年真题，按照由远到近的顺序，每周做两套真题听力。每次听力分三轮，第一轮：将没有听清楚和明白的地方标注出来。第二轮：第一轮中标注的地方仔细听，直到听懂，修改第一轮的答案。然后对照标准答案，错误地方的认真分析，标注。第三轮：边听边写下内容，可以先尝试短对话，再写写长对话，写完后对照原文，查漏补缺。另外，真题也是十分丰富的复习资料，可以重点背诵真体力常出现的核心词汇和常见场景。
听VOA学英语经验谈 如何能够有效的提高英语听力一直以来都是英语学习者当中普遍的问题。笔者根据我的一些学习经验来谈谈我对于如何提高英语听力这个问题的理解。 我认为英语听力的提高可以通过泛听与精听两种方式来练习。泛听可以通过给自己营造英语环境的方式加强对语言的敏感度，但精听却是提高听力非常有效的方法。其中收听VOA就是最好的一种方法。 通过一段时间的尝试，笔者总结出以下一套行之有效的方法： 1. 听三遍，并试着做笔记（note-taking）。 2. 根据笔记复述新闻（retelling）。 3. 订正(correction)。 4. 大声朗读三遍。（reading） 5. 再次复述(retelling)。 6. 背诵（reciting）。 7. 听新闻3—5遍。(listening) 下面是注意事项及具体的操作方法： 首先，要清楚自己是处于英语学习的哪一阶段。这一点是非常重要的。因为，只用选择听力难度适中的听力素材（即听一遍之后能理解大概70%）才会收到做大的效果。一般而言，英语基础差的学生适合听VOA慢速英语（SPECIAL ENGLISH），有大学英文基础的学生适合听VOA常速英语（STANDARD ENGLISH）。 其次，选择有对应文字材料的新闻来听。大家可以很容易在市面上买到，或者上网下载。做好准备工作，就可以开始了： 在第一步骤中，特别要求纪录的是专有名词，即人名、地名、书名、电影名等，以及时间、日期。在做笔记时，应多使用首字母大写。如New York →NY, Beijing →BJ等。 第二步是很有效的练习口语的方法。现在很多人都会把口语与听力分开练习，其实在任何一种语言学习中，“听说是不分家的”。如果能够把两者结合起来练习，会取得事半功倍的效果。这也是美国英语的教学理念之一。 第三步必不可少。一般的情况下，依据个人的口语水平，应该能复述60—80%的内容。这时订正是非常重要的。最好用红笔在文字资料上标出没有听出来的和听错了的。然后一定找出错误的原因。原因无外乎三点：1.对熟悉的单词不能及时反应；2.原文速度太快；3.出现陌生的词汇。如果是第一点，说明平时学得并不扎实，而且很少张嘴。解决办法：平常注意多张嘴，多读，多说。如果是第二点，可以通过提高口语速度来解决。第三点是最容易解决的，只要注意每次注意积累生词并背熟即可。此步骤可帮助了解自己听力的薄弱之处，做到有的放矢。 在经过细致的订正工作后，可大声朗读三遍。之后，不要借助任何资料，再次复述新闻。（强力推荐复述时闭上眼睛。）如学有余力的同学，可进行背诵。最后再来听3—5遍新闻。这时应该能听懂95%以上。

2016年6月六级听力VOA常速英语练习（第三套） 2016年6月六级听力VOA常速英语练习（第三套） BERLIN— German Chancellor Angela Merkel is facing mounting political pressure over the number of migrants arriving in her country — with regional authorities demanding that Berlin provide more resources to cope with the crisis. More than 1.1 million migrants are being resettled across Germany. At a meeting Thursday with Chancellor Merkel, the leaders of Germany’s 16 federal states demanded a doubling of financial aid and support for housing and schools. Hannelore Kraft is president of the North Rhine-Westphalia region. "I and other regional leaders cannot see any great progress against the mountain of asylum applications, which continues to grow," said Kraft. "German citizens are worried, partly because we don’t really know who is here." On Thursday, Chancellor Merkel struck a deal with her governing coalition partners that would facilitate deportations and restrict the rights of migrants to bring their families to Germany. "The government wants those with the prospect of remaining to be integrated, but those who have no prospect of remaining should return," said Merkel. Germany anticipates the migrant influx could cost the state an extra $3.7 billion in extra social benefits during 2016. It’s hoped German language classes will speed the migrants' entry into the labor market and cut the benefits bill. It’s uncertain there’ll be enough jobs, says the head of integration for the Berlin regional senate, Andreas Germershausen. “There is some capacity that can be absorbed," said Germershausen.

英语四级复习计划范文 很多同学可能心中对新学期有了很多期待，除了扎实巩固专业课，英语四级考试可能也是新的目标。那么，如何合理利用复习时间，准备12月份的英语四级考试呢?首先我们要了解英语四级考试的题型，然后对症下药，各个击破! 作文跟词汇和语法都有很大关系，词汇决定了你作文内容的丰富程度，而语法决定了你作文的正确程度。平常可以有计划地每天背一些单词，日积月累词汇量就会增大很多。而语法除了有意识地看看语法书外，更重要的在于去运用，在阅读中分析句子的语法结构，并有意识地模仿。 当然，作文光说不练是不够的，可以从词汇、句型、段落、篇章布局四个角度，依据不同的文章体裁，分别准备。借鉴范文和模板可以，但不能依靠这些，否则作文就容易落入俗套，引起阅卷老师反感。多尝试自己去写，比如给自己规定每周一篇作文，把这一周学到的单词、句型结合起来，真正做到学以致用，到时候考试的时候这些内容就可以信手拈来。 听力的提高的是靠平时的练习，所以，在考前两三个月就要每天坚持听力练习，磨练自己的耳朵(去淘淘听力材料)。其实听力和口语也有很大关系，如果自己发音不准，口语不好，就不太容易听懂听力里面的说话形式，很可能听错、听不懂。所以平时
也可以多练习口语，熟悉不同的发音。建议平时精听和泛听相结合，分三阶段进行练习。 阶段一：9月-10月利用bbc、慢速美音和标准美音素材进行反复听写练习，熟悉各类语音、语调、语速，基础较为薄弱的同学可以从慢速voa开始。刚开始听的时候很容易被各类人名、地名或新闻事件专有名词所阻挠，这个时候一定要坚持下去，要相信努力就会有收获。 阶段二：11月继续进行bbc、voa听力练习的同时可以听一些流行美语、走遍美国、地道英语之类的听力节目，因为这些材料中对话部分是对生活情景的最佳分类，是积累听力考试对话场景词汇的最佳素材，而一些短小文章性的素材则有助于篇章对话与听写的提高。 阶段三：11月-12月这一个月是考前冲刺的关键时期，所以真题的演练必不可少。这一阶段可收集历年真题，按照由远到近的顺序，每周做两套真题听力。每次听力分三轮，第一轮：将没有听清楚和明白的地方标注出来。第二轮：第一轮中标注的地方仔细听，直到听懂，修改第一轮的答案。然后对照标准答案，错误地方的认真分析，标注。第三轮：边听边写下内容，可以先尝试短对话，再写写长对话，写完后对照原文，查漏补缺。另外，真题也是十分丰富的复习资料，可以重点背诵真体力常出现的核心词汇和常见场景。 关于快速阅读，大纲规定本部分有两种考查题型，即判断正
