标准听力(一)听力原文及答案解析Part III Listening ComprehensionSection A…………………………………………………………………………………………………11. W: I have to think about youroffer. I can‟t say “yes” or“no” at the moment.M: You can take your time. It will do if you let me know yourdecision in a day or two.Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 【听前预测】选项中的The man thinks,the woman should save his time,The woman need not hurry等表明,本题可能与男士给女士的建议有关。
【解析】选[D]。
女士说她现在还不能马上对男士的提议给予回复,男士让女士不必着急,还说她在一两天内给他答复就行了,由此可知,女士不必立刻做出决定,故答案为[D]。
12. M: Here comes my secretary.She‟s an extremelygood-looking youngwoman, don‟t you think? W: Yes, but I heard that her work 【听前预测】选项中的She is,good-looking,perfect,good at work 等表明,本题与对女士的评价有关。
【解析】选[D]。
男士提到自己的秘书长得很漂亮,女士表示同isn‟t as good as herappearance.Q: What does the woman think of the secretary? 意,但接着用but转折提到她听说她(即男士的秘书)的工作能力没有外表那么好(her work isn‟t as good as her appearance),言外之意就是男士的秘书的工作能力不行,故答案为[D]。
标准听力(一)Listening ComprehensionSection A11. M: My new camera is supposed to be completely automatic but look at thesepictures.W: Next time try having the light at your back as you shoot. That will make the pictures better.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?12. W: I saw you in the lecture hall yesterday on your way out to Prof. Warner’sphilosophy class. I was quite surprised and I didn’t think you were someone interested in philosophy.M: I don’t know what’s so surprising. There are lots of e ngineering students in that class.Q: What can be inferred about the man?13. W: You know, we never went over Chapter 16 in class. What do you think the oddsare that Dr. Bomb will include it on the test?M: He’s been long to do things like that. So I wou ldn’t put it past him.Q: What does the man say about Dr. Bomb?14. W: Have you guys decided whether you are going to get an apartment off campusnext year or to stay in the dorm?M: We are still talking about the pros and cons. I don’t know. To me, it se ems like six of one and half of dozen of the other.Q: What does the man mean?15. M: It’s partly your own fault. You should never let in anyone like that unless you’reexpecting him.W: It’s all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says “Electricity” or“Gas”, and you automatically think he is OK, especially when he shows his card.Q: How does the woman feel about the man’s remarks?16. W: What am I going to do to decide which major to choose in business?M: I once went to a career counselor and what a lot of people don’t realize is how irrelevant the issue of a major really is to many employers.Q: What does the man mean?17. M: I haven’t got a job yet. All they offered are low-paying jobs without any future.W: But everybody starts from the beginning and nowadays you can’t depend on a company for lifetime employment any more.Q: What does the woman mean?18. M: Well, I pretty much know what I’m going to take but what a day, eh?Registering is so stressful. Can’t there be another way?W: Telephone registration would mean we didn’t have to deal with all the same headaches.Q: What does the woman mean?Conversation OneM: Here is the summer vacation again. It seems that there is no new place in our country for me to travel.W: I have an idea to make good use of our vacations. We have benefited from the society but done nothing in return. Do you want to do some local voluntary work for the society this year?M: Sounds interesting. What do you think we should do?W: I’m not sure. Maybe we could offer help in the hospital for handicapped children.We could help feed the children and help look after them.M: Excellent! But I’m not sure if we will be allowed to do that. I think all helpers there have to be specially trained. And we are not in the related major.W: Yeah, maybe you are right. I still have the idea of doing something for children, haven’t you?M: Well, maybe. And I think many old people also need help. What else did you have in mind for children?W: My other idea was to do something for the small primary school down the street.That school is too poor to provide a playground for the pupils. Children cannot do without one. I’ve noticed that some land round the back of the school is not used.We could make it into a small playground. What do you think?M: Mm, it’s a good idea, but you are a bit too ambitious. I don’t know anything about making playgrounds. And I also think that it might be too expensive to do what you suggest.W: Yes, I guess you’re right. We cannot afford the big pr oject unless someone sponsors us.It’s impossible for us to find such a person. So what do you have in mind for older people?M: I think we should go round to the homes of older people and ask if there is something we can do in the house —you know, like a bit of simple decorating, washing the clothes, cleaning up the garden, even doing some shopping for them once a week. W: Mm, this sounds meaningful and practical. I quite like the idea. It won’t cost us any money and I’m sure we are capable of dealing wit h the things you mentioned.Conversation TwoW: Today’s Arts Report features Dan Parker of the American Indian Dance Theatre.Mr. Parker, I understand your troupe performs traditional music and dance from many different Native American cultures. Can you give us an idea of some of the dances you’ll be doing in your performance tonight?M: Certainly. We’ll be doing one that’s a war dance. Originally it was a story-telling device to recount battles. Another is the grass dance performed by the Plains Indians, where they actually flatten tall field grass to prepare it for a ceremony.W: Since your dancers are from many different tribes, how can you be sure the dancesare done correctly?M: Everything we do has been approved by the elders of our tribes. That’s p artly because we don’t necessarily know each other’s style or dances. But it’s also because it’s hard to get complete agreement —even within the same tribe —about exactly how the dance should be done.W: Anyone who attends one of your performances will notice that your company goes to a lot of trouble to provide detailed explanations of the origin of the dances, the music, the costumes, and so forth. Could you explain to our listeners why you do this?M: Good question. There are always concerns that traditional dances performed in a theatre are nothing more than a spectacle. Our explanations show that in our cultures dance is custom rather than entertainment. We also want to make it clear to our audience that we are not performing any dances used for holy ceremonies.Section BPassage OneWhen Andrea Peterson landed her first job teaching, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards’ based learning was the focus and mu sic just provided a break for students and teachers. For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been named National Teacher of the Year.Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.” Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music.When students were reading S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equality and social justice, thethemes of the book. Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book.The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Foils. It’s inspiring t o know that people from small towns even win national honors.As National Teacher of the Year, Peterson will spend more years outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education. She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that attracts them to come back to school day after day.Passage TwoWithout most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come into the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them.The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors, or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast. There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as retyping letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a manager’s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed.Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units. The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also fearedthat if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them.Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature of this revolution in office practice.Passage ThreeSome children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “operates under the theory of what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine,” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers. Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.”“Examine the extended family, and you’ll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It’s an inheritable trait,” says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at th e young isn’t healthy for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel saf e”. It’s the parents’ role to provide that protection.When a “boss child”doesn’t learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly-willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“I see more and more parents giving up their power,” says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they don’t want to beas strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.”Section C36. Weary37. destruction38. redefining39. climate40. sacrificing41. unemployment42.

College culture Unit 1Unit 1 College cultureInside viewConversation1Janet :So this is the Cherwell Boathouse –it’s lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy.Mark :I’m not so sure about that! Janet, there’s something Kate an d I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We’ve decided to get involved. Janet :Raising money for charity? Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don’t usually do that.Mark :Stu dents often do that here. Anyway, we’re thinking of doing sponsored punting.Janet :Sponsored punting! What’s that?Kate :Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something – like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt.Janet :What a great idea! I’d love to join you!Mark :That’s why we’re telling you about it. So that’s decided then. Let’s make a list of things we need to do.Kate :I’ll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity.Mark :Yes. And cho ose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I’ve got one here.Kate :That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that?Mark :I’ll do that. What have we got so far?Kate :Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form …Um … We have to decide where the punt will start from.Mark :Cherwell Boathouse, no question! It's a very beautiful route from here, apparently.Kate :I’m with you on that.Janet :Me too …Conversation2Janet :I’m not used to boats – Woah!Mark :Whoops!Kate :Watch out! You nearly hit me with that thing!Mark :Sorry! I didn’t mean to. … OK, we’re off!Kate :Maybe I should do the punting.Mark :It’s fine. I’ve got the hang of it now – give me a chance.Kate :Well, I’d like to have a go.Mark :Supposing I do the first hour. Then you can take over for a while, if you want to.Kate :Yes, great.Janet :You’re really good at it, Mark! This is fantastic! It’s exactly how I imagined lifehere! Look over there –isn’t it lovely!Kate :Yes, it is.…Janet :Kate, everything’s organized, isn’t it, for8 collecting the sponsorship money?Kate :Yes, I’ve arranged for people to get the money to me by next Friday –if they haven’t paid online. I’ll coun t it all up.Janet :Good. We’d better have a meeting soon after that, don’t you think? How much have we raised?Kate :About 600.Janet:Fantastic! I’m so enjoying this!Mark :Hey guys, I’ve got a suggestion – how about moving over to the bank and we can have our picnic! Hey, look, there’s Louise and Sophie!Mark :Whoo …Girls Mark!Janet :Are you all right?Mark :Er … Of course I’m all right. Kate, I think it’s your turn to punt!Outside viewV/OHarvard University in Cambridge is one of the best universities in the world. We spoke to Alex Jude, the university’s Head of Communications. He explained that Harvard looks for the best and most talented students from around the world.AlexHarvard actually seeks students from around the world, the best students that we can find, to study chemistry, or study literature, or study government, or business. Our business school is particularly well-known around the world, as is the medical school and law school, so, um, and, and the Kennedy School of government, for the John F. Kennedy School of Government, so, er, we do seek very, very talented students and we have open doors for them.V/OWe asked five students at Harvard to tell us what kind of social life they have.AshleyUm, well relaxing is a little hard to do around here, but basically, I mean, I still, I, I live nearby anyway, so I see a lot of my friends, and … Um, there’s a good social life here if you look for it. I go to the gym, run. So that’s what I do.AdamIt is whatever you want it to be. It’s good. If you wanna go out party, do anything you can. If you wanna sit in your room and study all night like my friend over here, you can also do that.BrianSocially, like you said, it’s, it’s a lot of what you make it. Um, we don’t have fra ternities here, and so, you know, that’s, it’s obviously not as social. There’s not as many parties as there would be on another campus. Um, but on a Friday or Saturday night, there, there, there will be a party. Usually we end up studying until about 10 o’clock. And then we, and then we’ll go out and have fun maybe, or just watch a movie with friends, or, you know, whatever is going on for the night. JodieNot everyone would agree with me, obviously, but it’s, I think it’s a fun place to be.Int.Have you made a lot of friends?JodieOh, definitely.Int. :Mm.JodieMany.Int.What, what do you do with your friends?JodieUm, well, I like to go to concerts. I’m in three music groups, so I have lots of rehearsals during the week for that. Um, just do, you know, some fun things, on the weekend.V/OWe asked the Harvard students if they use theInternet.AshleyUm, I, I use it a fairly good amount. Um, our library system is online, so I use that a lot. And a lot of my classes, you know, have to do research papers. You can find a lot of information on there, so.Int.So how often do you use it, a week, a day?AshleyUm, I use it probably on more of a weekly basis. Maybe three or four times a week.BrianOh yes, definitely. We live through the Internet actually. Well, I do a lot of research through the Internet, follow my stocks on the Internet. Um, well, even though e-mail is not officially Internet, we, that’s how we communicate a lot at college, so, through the e-mail.JohnUm, I use the internet mostly for, er, I’d say, sort of leisure purpos es. I mean, I play, um, I use it for a lot of, I don’t, we don’t have TV in my room, so I use it, uh, uh, go to the CNN website, keep up on current events, things like that. Uh, I also, uh, you know, there’s some little games to play over the Internet. Um, just um, I go to to see what’s happening, follow the Boston Red Sox, things like that. Um, I think a lot of courses use it to post things, but I, I don’t usually use it that much for research, or things. I tend to use the libraries for such things, so.Listening inPassage1V/OHi, I’m Nick Carter, and this is SUR, your university radio station. This morning we went around campus to ask freshers –now half-way through their first year –the question, “How are you finding uni?” Here are some o f the answers we got.Speaker 1It’s cool. It’s everything I hoped it would be. I’m very ambitious, I want to be a journalist and I want to get to the top of the profession. I’ve started writing for the university newspaper so I’ve got my foot on the ladder already.Speaker 2I’m working hard and the teaching is as good as I expected. And I’ve made some good friends. But I’m very homesick. I’m Nigerian and my family’s so far away. I went home at Christmas for a month –that really helped, but man, I miss my family so much.Speaker 3“How am I finding uni?” It’s great. It’s not perfect, nothing is, but, like, I’ve got a brilliant social life, just brilliant, and I’ve made lots of friends. For the first few months I just didn’t do, really enough work. But I –I talked about it with my parents and I’m working harder now and getting good grades.Speaker 4Actually, I’ve been quite lonely to be honest. I’m a bit shy … everyone else seemed to find it so easy to make friends straight away. But things have been better recently –yeah, they have. I’ve joined a couple of clubs and like, it really helps to get to know people when you have shared interests. So, yeah –I’m feeling a lot happier now.Speaker 5Uni’s great, I love it. My only problem –and it’s qu ite a big problem – is money. My parents are both unemployed so, you know, they can’t help me financially. My grant just isn’t –it’s just not enough for me to live on, so I’ve taken a part-time job as a waitress – a lot of people I know, like a lot, have had to do the same. I don’t want to have huge debts at the end.Speaker 6I love my subject, History, and I’m, I’m getting fantastic teaching here. I want to be a university lecturer and that means I have to get a first. I have a good social life but work definitely comes first for me.Passage2Oxford and Cambridge – two universities so similar that they are often spoken of together as “Oxbridge”. They’re both in the UK, fairly near London, and both regularly come top in any ranking of the world’s be st universities.The two universities began within a century of each other. Oxford University, now 900 years old, was founded towards the end of the 11th century. In 1209 there was a dispute between the university and the townspeople of Oxford. As a result, some of the Oxford teachers left and founded a university in the town of Cambridge, some 84 miles away. Ever since then, the two institutions have been very competitive.Unlike most modern universities, both Oxford and Cambridge consist of a large number of colleges. Oxford has 39 and Cambridge 31. Many of these colleges have old and very beautiful architecture, and large numbers of tourists visit them.In all UK universities, you need good grades in the national exams taken at 18. But to get into Oxford and Cambridge, it’s not enough to get A grades in your exams. You also have to go for a long interview. In these interviews, students need to show that they are creative and capable of original thinking.Through the centuries, both universities have made huge contributions to British cultural life. They have produced great writers, world leaders and politicians. Cambridge, in particular, has produced scientists whose discoveries and inventions have changed our lives.Among the great university i nstitutions is the world’s most famous debating society, the Oxford Union, where undergraduates get a chance to practise speaking in public. Cambridge’s comedy clubFootlights has produced many first-class comedians, while some of the UK’s most famous ac tors and actresses began their careers at The Oxford University Dramatic Society, known as OUDS. Then there’s the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, which takes place every year in March or April, and is watched on television all over the UK.So with all th is excellence in so many fields, it’s not surprising that the ambition of clever students all over the world is to attend either one of these great universities.Unit 2Inside viewConversation1Kate :Come in. Hey, Janet.Janet :Hi Kate, are you busy?Kate :Yes, I’m just doing an essay. But it’s great to see you. So what’s new?Janet :Well, nothing much.Kate :You look a bit fed up. What’s bugging you?Janet :Well, I had a phone call from my parents and it made me feel homesick. It happens every time they call, and it gets me down.Kate :I’m sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I love speaking to my mum and dad, but I always feel miserable after the call.Janet :My dad doesn’t say much, and I want to speak to him, but I wish I knew what to say. Kate :Don’t let it get to you. My dad doesn’t say much on the phone either. I call, he answers the phone, and says, “Hi, I’ll pass you to your mother.” It’s really irritating.Janet :But I miss him and my mother a lot, and I like to hear his voice.Kate :Just tell him what you’re up to.Janet :Sometimes I feel as if I made a mistake leaving home and coming to Oxford. Sometimes I feel like a moody teenager.Kate :Try not to worry about it, Janet. It’s normal to feel like that. I understand how you feel, but I bet everything will be fine next term. You’ll get used to it. Hey, why don’t you do what I do?Janet :What’s that?Kate :When my dad calls, I ask him for more money! He usually says no, but at least I getto hear his voice!Janet :Maybe. I’m sorry to take up your time, Kate, but I must go now. Bye!Kate :Wait a minute …!Conversation2Kate :I think I may have upset Janet last night.Mark :What happened?Kate :She came to see me. I was busy doing an essay but I was really pleased to see her. She’d had a call from home, and said she was feeling homesick.Mark :Poor kid! It must be tough on you guys, living so far away from home.Kate :I tried to make her laugh, told her not to worry about it, and that it was normal to feel miserable. Suddenly she looked miserable, and then she got up and said, “I must go now” and left my room. It was really sudden. I felt as if I’d said something wrong.Mark :Maybe she was just being polite. It was probably because she realized you were working and didn’t want to disturb you.Kate :I just wonder if she found it difficult to talk about her feelings with me. Maybe I shouldn’t have tried to make her laugh? Perhaps she thought I wasn’t taking her serio usly.Mark :I wouldn’t worry about it. Put yourself in her shoes. How would you feel if you were a student at college in China?Kate :I know. That’s why I feel bad. If only she had stayed longer! I wish I could have helped her more.Janet :Hey, everyone!Mark :Hi Janet, you look cheerful!Janet :Yes, I’ve just got my essay back. I got an alpha minus!Kate :What an amazing grade! Well done.Mark :I’m really happy for you, Janet.Janet :I feel on top of the world!Outside viewSebastienHi. I’m Sebastien. I’m from Germany. Um, the idea of IQ of a measure of your brain power has been around for a while, but recently there’s been this new idea of the EQ –your emotional quotient. And by now, it’s actually almost being regarded as more important. If you look at it, businesses will ... Well, they will prefer employing people with great EQ. Well, of course, IQ cannot be disregarded, but um, EQ does have its importance as well. Uh, I believe that, um, (I)mean, people, most people will have, um, their basic means of communicating with other people. Most people are somewhat socially adept, and just like most people have, you know, a basic general knowledge. But then, what I think really is the difference betweenIQ and EQ, I mean, you can have a “brainiac”, and they will be great at most things they do, but if you just can’t get along with him, if you just can’t communicate with him, I mean, you know, he’snot really that useful.KimHi. This is Kim. I’m originally from Korea, and I was raised in Californ ia. And today, we are going to talk about the differences between IQ and EQ –IQ meaning your intelligence, EQ meaning your emotions. Now, in … When I was, when I was a little, little boy in Korea, I had to take … I think I’d taken like two or three IQ tes ts before the age of ten, which is when I moved to California. So, I guess we stress a lot of importance on intelligence, on having great IQ scores. But after I moved to the States, I learnt how to associate with people, and along the lines that this word EQ came up, you know, emotional, caring about … It’s basically how you deal with people, how you make people feel, and how people make you feel.I think they’re equally as, as important, but it seems that in the Eastern world they kind of stress on that a lot more back in the days. But I think again, you know, now that with Internet and people are communicating so much faster, there’s a better mixture of the two I think. There’s a stress on EQ in Korea as well, and a stress on IQ in the States. Thank you.TedHello. My name is Ted, and I’m from the United States of America. Today, I’m going to talk a little bit about IQ or EQ – which is most important, or which is more important. Now, for a long time when I was growing up, people said, “IQ. What’s your IQ? Take an IQ test.” But then EQ, your emotions, how you interact with people, that became very important. And I think they’re … that people might be onto something with that, because your EQ – how you deal with people, how you interact with people – is important. Now, a big part of this, in my opinion, is listening. I know I’m talking a lot right now, but if you want to get along well with people, you have to listen to them, so just take a minute, maybe shut your mouth for a minute, and listen to others, and then you can understand and communicate with them in a better way. So, part of EQ, I think, is listening – listening to others – and it can be more important than IQ.Listening inPassage1PresenterWe’re fortunate to have as our guest today Dr Jenna Hudson, who has just written a book about how colours affect us in our surroundings, especially in the world of advertising. It’s called Market Colours. Dr Hudson, which are the most common colours in advertising and marketing? Dr HudsonWell, of course, it depends what image the marketing team wish to project with their products. So for example, we often think of blue as a cold colour, but it also makes you feel peaceful, quiet, and it doesn’t suggest strong emotions. So it’s a favourite for banks and insurance companies, who wish to suggest the image that they are trustworthy. And for selling products, it’s often used to suggest something is pure and fresh.What about red?You can sell almost anything with red. It’s a hot colour, which suggests a feeling of energy and even passion. It grabs your attention, and can make people buy almost anything. You often see red on magazine covers. But if you use it too much, it looks cheap and may make people tired. And orange has a similar effect to red, it’s upbeat and happy, it suggests pleasant feelings and images. Most people react well to orange, and it’s especially popular in advertising and on packaging for baked food.What about yellow, for instance?Yellow is the colour of sunshine and it’s a positive, happy colour, so it’s used a lot in advertising. But it’s also often used for warning signs, direction signs, and so on, where you have to read the message quickly and at a distance.What about less popular colours for advertising?Surprisingly, gre en isn’t used much in advertising except for garden products. It’s friendly and restful. It can be cool and soothing, the colour of apples and mint, but it can also be quite strong and many people associate it with unpleasant ideas of decay or slimy creatures. But most colours are not primary colours, they’re a combination. Absolutely. So yellow-orange is common, and often used to give an impression of style and class, it looks like gold. But it’s not often used in letters because it’s not very strong. And y ellow-green reminds people of feeling sick.Blue-green works well as a cool colour, suggesting freshness, and is sometimesused for toothpaste products, bathroom products, food and household cleaning products. It has many of the advantages of blue without the disadvantages of green.Fascinating.Thank you very much, DrScriptsHudson. Market Colours by Dr JennaHudson is on sale from next week,priced £15.99 …Passage2Presenter :What makes you embarrassed, Sally?Sally :Oh, I’m easily embarrassed. If anybody notices me or looks at me, I get very embarrassed. When people sing me Happy Birthday on my birthday, I get very embarrassed.Presenter :And what makes you upset?Sally :When people are selfish, people who think only of themselves. And cruelty –I can’t bear people who are cruel, especially to animals or children.Presenter :Jake, what makes you depressed?Jake :I hate it when it rains, and I don’t like people who look down on me, who think they’re superior to me without any reason.Presenter :And what makes you angry?Jake :When people don’t behave properly in public, bad behaviour like dropping litter or people pushing each other on the bus or the train.Presenter :Andrew, what makes you cheerful?Andrew :I like to see everyone around me being happy and having a positive attitude towards the future, optimistic people.Presenter :And what makes you jealous?Andrew :Well, to be ho nest, I just never feel jealous. I can’t see the point of it.Presenter :Monica, what makes you proud?Monica :I’m proud when I’m successful, especially in my work. Being recognized by my boss for what I can do makes me feel really proud. Oh, and my fami ly. I’m very proud of them. Presenter :And what makes you nervous?Monica :Every time I teach a new class. The night before I’m very nervous. You don’t know what the kids are going to be like and how they might behave, or if they’re going to like you. Presenter :Anything else?Monica :Doing interviews like this.Unit 3 Crime watchInside viewConversation1Kate :So, what did you think of the movie?Mark :It was good but I thought it was too long.Kate :Yes, me too.Kate :Hey, where’s my bike? I don’t believe it! It’s gone!Mark :It was next to mine, you chained it up!Kate :Someone’s stolen it! Oh, how could they!Mark :Oh, Kate!Kate :How could someone have done this! The creep!Mark :It’s a really mean thing to do, steal a bike.Kate :It was a mountain bike and it cost a fortune –I don’t have the money to buy another one. Mark :Listen, I’ll go down the street and see if I can see anyone with it. Why don’t you go into that shop and see if they’ve seen anything suspicious? I’ll be back i n a minute.Kate :OK.…Kate :Well?Mark :No luck. What did they say in the shop?Kate :I asked the shopkeeper if she’d seen anything –Mark :And?Kate :She said she hadn’t. I guess it was a long shot. She advised me to report it to the police. But according to her, bikes get stolen all the time around here.Mark :Listen, let’s get back so you can report it.Kate :I’ve got no bike. I’m just so upset!Mark :It’s not far to college. Come on!Conversation2Mark :So did you ring the police?Kate :Yes. I went to the police station to report it.Mark :What did they say?Kate :No one’s found it. This woman said that Oxford has the fifth highest rate of bike theftin the country!Mark :You’re joking!Kate :That’s what she said.Mark :What else did she say?Kate :She told me that sometimes you do get bikes back – the thieves use them and then abandon them, apparently, and then people find them and report them.Mark :So you might get it back.Kate :I hope so, Mark, I really do. I t’s just too much you know? But … um … what else? She told me to go to this sale they have of abandoned bikes. She thinks I might find it there. But it’s only every two months, I can’t wait till then! Honestly, Mark, I’m really furious!Mark :You can always buy a cheap bike on eBay.Kate :Hello … Speaking … You found it! Where was it? Is it …? Oh, that’s fantastic news! There was a lamp and a basket on it … Right … OK, thank you, I’ll be in tomorrow morning to pick it up. Unbelievable! This guy found it!Mark :Brilliant! Was that the police?Kate :Yes. What they said was, someone dumped it outside this guy’s backyard.Mark :That’s so strange!Kate :The lamp’s been stolen and the basket.Mark :Forget about it! You’re lucky to get it back!Outside viewPart1PresenterDodgy deals aren’t the only problems associated with doorstep sellers. Your door step presents these unannounced visitors with a real opportunity to undertake distraction burglary where they often pose as bogus officials to gain access to your home.I’m joined now by Ian Holt, from Thames Valley Police. Ian, just outline for me what does distraction burglary actually entail?IanHoltWell basically what happens is, somebody uses a story to get inside somebody’s house and then they steal items, usually cash or small items of jewellery.PresenterAnd what are the different techniques that are commonly used?IanHoltWell basically the er … the people that commit this crime move from area to area, er … they will look at an area, they will try and pick a particular target and they can find that by looking at property, it may beer, an uncut garden, it may be repairs that need doing to the property. Something that indicates that there’s, there’s a vulnerable person in there. It … usually, it’s an elderly person that lives there. Is this quite a common problem now? It is becoming more common. To get it in perspective, of the 14,000 burglaries that were in Thames Valley last year, we had reported 800 crimes of distraction burglary.But, it … there’s a slight increase this year over last year’s figures.OK, you mentioned some of the victimsbeing elderly. What other people aretargeted?Well, unfortunately, with this type of offence, it is the vulnerable in society and the elderly. The, the national average, if there’s such a thing as a, a victim for this type of crime, is a white female aged 81 years.And what about things that people can do to prevent it happening, basically?Well the things they can do are very, very simple. The difficulty comes, is that some of these people, er … it’s very difficult for them to remember what to do. But the three things we, we always say is: stop, chain and check. And that’s stop before you open the door to make sure who’s on the other side. Always apply a chain. If you haven’t got a chain, fit a chain to the door, or a door bar if you’ve got difficulty in handling a chain with arthritic fingers.But also when you answer the door, check the identity of the person there. Generally the offenders say they are from th e Water Board or from utilities. They may say they’re from a charity or even from local authority. But generally, a utility will be in uniform.Ask for their identification. A genuine person will not mind you doing that and will wait until you can check them out. If you do need to check them, phone the number on, on your last bill. What won’t happen is that if it is a bogus caller, they will become unnerved by this reaction and they will leave.PresenterOK and there’s also a couple of gadgets new on th e market that also can help as well. Just talk us through that.IanHoltCertainly, yes. The … a spy er … viewer is fairly standard. But for elderly who may have poor eyesight there’s a spyscope which actually makes it a lot easier for them to see who’s outside.As I mentioned before about the door bar, again, it can be easier to apply than the chain. Very reasonable priced er, and something that is fairly new … as I mentioned before it’s very difficult for some of these people to remember what they hav e to do when they go to the door and that’s why they become victims.And this item is called a Memo Minder and actually you can record a message on there and it’s nice to have a grand-daughter or somebody to record a message, but every time the person app roaches the door it reminds them with a voice to say “Putyour chain on.”Listening inPassage1Patrick :I read a funny story today in the paper – true story.Steve :Go on, then.Patrick :OK. This 72-year old guy stole a pair of trousers from a department store in Paris. A security man saw him and alerted the police and they were waiting for him when he came out of the shop. The shoplifter started running, but the policeman soon caught up with him. The manthenbit the policeman on his arm several times.Steve :He bit the policeman?Patrick :Yes – you have to remember, he was 72.Steve :I’d forgotten that.Patrick :Problem was, it didn’t hurt the policeman at all, ’cause the guy had forgotten to put his false teeth in before he left home.Steve :Very funny!Patrick :And the moral of the story is –Steve :Always remember to wear your false teeth if you’re going to bite someone.Patrick :That’s good. I read a funny crime story the other day. Let’s see … yeah … this guy … this guy robbed a supermarket somewhere in America –I can’t remember where exactly – anyway, he got away with about 4,000 dollars. The next week the local newspaper reported the story but said he’d stolen 6,000 dollars. The thief rang the newspaper office to complain. He said, “Look, I only took 4,000 dollars. I’m wondering if the supermarket manager took another 2,000 and said I’d taken it. I did not take 6,000, I promise you.”Steve :He was probably telling the truth.Patrick :He probably was. Anyway, the newspaper managed to keep the guy talking while they rang the police. And the police traced the call – the guy was ringing from a phone booth – and they arrested him while he was still talking to the newspaper.Steve :That’s good. Stupid guy! I’ve got another true story … This – this – old guy was in court for some crime –and he fell asleep. His case began and his lawyer stood up and said, “My client pleads not guilty.” The man suddenly woke up, but wasn’t sure what was happening. He jumped up and shouted, “I plead guilty! I plead guilty!”Patrick :So what happened?Steve :The judge allowed him to plead not guilty.Patrick :That’s the best, I think.Passage2Presenter :You’re listening to Kevin Fallon and my topic for today is street crime. Being mugged is something that can happen to anyone –and it’s a very frightening experience. So it’s positive when you hear of someone who was attacked by a mugger and defeated them – especially when that person is a woman. Anna Black was attacked by a mugger. She’s here to tell us about it. How long ago did this happen, Anna?News 24/7 Unit 4AnnaJust over a week ago. The day it happened,I was coming home from work a bit laterthan usual – I think it was about seven.

标准听力(一)听力原文及答案解析Part III Listening Comprehension Section A…………………………………………………………………………………………………11. W: I have to think about your offer. I can‟t say “yes”or “no” at the moment.M: You can take your time. It will do if you let me know your decision in a day or two.Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 【听前预测】选项中的The man thinks,the woman should save his time,The woman need not hurry等表明,本题可能与男士给女士的建议有关。
【解析】选[D]。
女士说她现在还不能马上对男士的提议给予回复,男士让女士不必着急,还说她在一两天内给他答复就行了,由此可知,女士不必立刻做出决定,故答案为[D]。
12. M: Here comes my secretary. She‟s an extremelygood-looking young woman, don‟t you think?W: Yes, but I heard that her work isn‟t as good as her appearance.Q: What does the woman think of the secretary? 【听前预测】选项中的She is,good-looking,perfect,good at work等表明,本题与对女士的评价有关。
【解析】选[D]。
男士提到自己的秘书长得很漂亮,女士表示同意,但接着用but转折提到她听说她(即男士的秘书)的工作能力没有外表那么好(her work isn‟t as good as her appearance),言外之意就是男士的秘书的工作能力不行,故答案为[D]。
标准听力(一)听力原文及答案解析 Part III Listening Comprehension Section A 11. M: Say, remember that proposal for an international festival next spring? Do you think there‟s any chance it‟ll ever get off the ground? W: I don‟t think it‟s a question of whether it‟ll happen. It‟s just a matter of where it‟ll be held. Q: What does the woman imply about the international festival? 【听前预测】选项中重复出现的proposed,it,take place/be held等表明,对话可能与it是否按计划举行有关。由She‟s quite sure可知,女士的话为听音重点。 【解 析】选[B]。女士的话I don‟t think it‟s a question of whether it‟ll happen(是否会举行我认为不是个问题)为听音重点。[B]是对女士的话的同义转述,故答案为[B]。sb. doesn‟t think sth. is a question.意为“某人认为某事不是问题”,表示一种肯定。take place=happen,意为“发生”。get off the ground意为“开始;取得进展”。
12. M: Excuse me. I heard that there were a couple of jobs available in the library. So I‟d like to apply for one of them. Can I fill out the application form at home and bring it back next week?
W: Sure, but you should know that we‟re about to start looking at the applications, and we hope to make some job offers in a few days.
Q: What does the woman imply? 【听前预测】选项中的library,work,applicants,job offer等表明,对话可能与图书馆招聘有关。 【解 析】选[D]。对话中女士提到we‟re about to…make some job offers in a few days(我们马上就要……几天之内就发职位邀请),言外之意就是男士需要抓紧时间,故答案为[D]。job offer意为“职位邀请”,是一种招聘方给求职者发的决定录用求职者的信函。
13. M: I have a terrible cold and I can‟t stop coughing. What do you take to cure a cold, Julie? W: Well, over-the-counter medicines never help me, and the doctor refuses to prescribe antibiotics. So I usually rely on old home remedies like honey and whisky. Q: What does the woman suggest for a cold?
【听前预测】浏览选项可知,对话可能与治病有关,由[B]中的“Cough”可知,这种病极有可能是咳嗽。
【解 析】选[C]。由对话中女士提到的I usually rely on…honey and whisky(我通常靠蜂蜜和威士忌)可知,答案为[C]。[A]和[D]虽在女士的话中提到,但并非女士推荐的治疗方法,故不选。Over-the-counter medicines意为“无处方可自行购买的药”。rely on意为“依靠”。
14. M: The dish is delicious. I never knew that you are so good at cooking. W: Thanks. But the credit should go to Mary. She prepared everything. If it weren‟t for her, I‟d never cook. Oh, please have some more. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 【听前预测】由选项中重复出现的The woman,cook(ing/ed)可知,对话与女士做饭有关。 【解 析】选[C]。对话中女士提到…Mary…prepared everything (Mary把所有的东西都准备好了),[C]中的“helped a lot”是对女士说的“prepared everything”的同义转述,故答案为[C]。be good at doing sth.意为“擅长做某事”。the credit should go to sb.意为“荣誉或功劳应该归为
某人”。
15. M: I just wonder why Janet never becomes an actress in the advertisement. You know, a lot of famous actresses do that for more fame and fortune. She should at least give it a try. W: I think she has her own ideas and can resist the temptation. Q: What does the woman say about Janet?
【听前预测】由选项中重复出现的She以及actress(es),not,money,advertisements等可知,对话可能与这位女演员不代言广告挣钱有关。 【解 析】选[C]。对话中女士提到...she...can resist the temptation(她能够抵制诱惑),[C]中的“She is not very much tempted”是对该句的同义转述,故答案为[C]。give sth. a try意为“尝试做某事”。
16. M: I have this camera here that I bought about 12 months ago. But it suddenly doesn‟t work. W: Let me have a look at your sales slip. I am sorry, sir. Your warranty‟s expired. Q: What does the woman mean? 【听前预测】选项中的his/the man‟s camera,fixed等表明,对话与修理男士的相机有关。由The man should可知,女士的话为听音重点。 【解 析】选[D]。女士的话Your warranty‟s expired(你的保修期已经过了)为听音重点,[D]中的“should have been brought in earlier”与女士说的“expired” 相对应,故答案为[D]。sales slip意为“销售发票”。warranty意为“保修期”。
17. W: Welcome to our laboratory. It‟s nice to have you with us. I‟ll see you at 7: 30 in the morning. M: My goodness. I‟m not used to getting up as early as that! In London we start work at 9: 00 a. m. Q: What makes the man feel shocked? 【听前预测】选项中的start-working hour(s)表明,对话可能与上班时间有关。 【解 析】选[A]。对话中男士提到I‟m not used to getting up as early as that!(我不习惯那么早就起床!), [A]中的“so-early”是对男士说的“as early as that”的同义转述,故答案为[A]。be (not) used to doing sth.意为“习惯/不习惯做某事”。
18. M: I‟d love to come to your birthday party on Sunday. But my sister is arriving from London that day.
W: That‟s no problem. The more the merrier. Q: What does the woman mean? 【听前预测】根据意思相反的两个选项中有一个很可能是答案的命题规律,答案范围锁定在[A]和[B]之间。由She thinks/invites/will可知,女士的话为听音重点。
【解 析】选[B]。女士的话The more the merrier(人越多越高兴)为听音重点,[B]中的“the man and his sister”与女士说的“more”相对应,故答案为[B]。
Now you will hear the two long conversations. Conversation One
【听前预测】预览四道题的选项,由clothing,psychology of clothing,lack of self-consciousness,Warmer clothes等可推知,对话可能与衣服有关,涉及衣着能反映人的心理状态。
W: So you really believe that clothes carry a kind of message for other people and that what we put on is in some way a reflection of what we feel? M: Oh yes, very much so. People are beginning now to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing, to believe that there is not just individual taste in our clothes but also a thinking behind what we wear, which is trying to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves. W: But surely this has always been the case. We all dress up when we want to impress someone, such as for a job interview with a prospective employer. M: True, but that‟s a conscious act. What I‟m talking about is more of a subconscious thing. Take for example the student who is away from home: if he tends to wrap himself up more than the others, this is because he is probably feeling homesick. Similarly, a general feeling of insecurity can sometimes take the form of over-dressing in warmer clothes than are necessary. W: Can you give any other examples of this kind? M: Yes. I think people who are sociable and outgoing tend to prefer brighter or more dazzling colors — yellows, bright reds, and so on. And aggressive clothes might indicate an aggressive personality or attitude to life. W: Do you think the care — or lack of it — over the way we actually wear our clothes has anything to tell us? M: Yes, indeed. The length, for example, of a man‟s trousers speaks volumes about his awareness of his own image. Or, if his trousers are hanging down, this probably means he‟s absorbed by other things. W: Oh, very interesting. Tell me more about it. M: OK. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. What are people now beginning to take seriously about clothing according to the man? 【解析】选[C]。分析选项可知,本题与衣服的颜色、款式等有关。对话开头男士的话People are beginning now to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing表明,答案为
