Section Two Listening ComprehensionPart 1 DialogueExercise: Listen to the dialogue and filling the blanks with the missing information.Serenading Service was founded three years ago when the singerrealize that British people were desperate for romance. He thought there would be a clientele for a hired serenader. The idea came from his studies of Renaissance music, which is full of serenades.Over the centuries, university students have turned the serenade into an art form for hire. Usually he is hired by men to sing love songs to women. Occasionally he is asked to sing to men.The service is really a form of intimate alfresco theatre with love songs. He usually wears a white tie and tails and sings amorous Italian songs. He will carry chocolate hearts or flowers and when there is no balcony available he will sing from trees or fire escapes!The fee depends on whether a musician comes along or not. The basic rate is ￡450but it can cost a lot more especially if he takes a gondola and a group of musicians along. Some people are so moved that they burst into tears, but some react badly. They try to find out as much as they can about their clients to avoid unpleasant situations. They have to be very careful these days because a serenade can be completely misinterpreted.Part 2 PassageEx. A. Pre-listening QuestionWhat memory strategies do you know that can help you remember thingsbetter1) Brain prioritizes by meaning, value and relevance.2) Your attitude has much to do with whether you remember something or not.3) Your understanding of new materials depends on what you already know.4) You can learn and remember better if you can group ideas into some sort of meaningful categories or groups.5) The brain's quickest and probably the longest-lasting response is to images.6) Memory is increased when facts to be learned are consciously associated with something familiar to you.Ex. B: Sentence Dictationare methods for remembering information that is otherwise quite difficult to recall.2. Our brains evolved to code and interpret complex stimuli such as images, colors, structures, sounds, smells, tastes, touch, positions, emotions and language.3. While language is one of the most important aspects of human evolution, it is only one of the many skills and resources available to our minds.4. Association is the method by which you link a thing to be remembered to a way of remembering it..5. Location gives you two things: a coherent context into which you can place information, and a way of separating one mnemonic from another.Ex. C: Detailed Listening.1. Mnemonics are tools which can help you to improve your memory. T. (Memory tools can help you to improve your memory. "Mnemonic" is another word for memory tool.)2. The fundamental principle of mnemonics is to make full use of the best functions of the brain to store information.T (The basic principle of mnemonics is to use as many of the best functions of your brain as possible to store information.)3. Information we have to remember is almost always presented in different ways.F (Unfortunately information we have to remember is almost always presented in only one way--as words printed on a page.)4. We can do four things to form striking images, which will help to make our mnemonics more memorable.T ( Use positive, pleasant images; use vivid, colorful, sense-laden images; use all your senses to code information or dressup an image; give our image three dimensions, movement and space.)5. There is one basic principle in the use of mnemonics.F (There are three fundamental principles underlying the use of mnemonics: imagination, association and location)6. Association is what we use to create and strengthen imagination.F (Imagination is what you use to create and strengthen the associations needed to create effective mnemonics.)7. You can choose the imagery in your mnemonics as you likeT (The imagery you use in your mnemonics can be as violent, vivid, or sensual as you like, as long as it help you to remember.)8. You can create associations by linking things using the same stimuli.T. (You can create associations by linking them using the same color, smell, shape, or feeling.)Ex. D: After-listening Discussion1. What is the basic principle of mnemonics Why can we improve our memory by following the principleTo use as many of the best functions of your brain as possible to store information.Evolved to code and interpret complex stimuli. Use these to makesophisticated models of the world.Our memories store all of these effectively.However, information is presented in only one way. Language is only one of the many skills and resources available to our minds.By coding languages and numbers in striking images,/ can reliable code both information and structure of information. Then easily recall these later.2. Why is a good memory important to usOpen.Section Three NewsNews Item 1Ex. A: Summarize the newsThis news item is about the Somali pirates’ strike.Ex. B: Listen to the news again and answer the questions.1.Whether this latest attempted hijacking was the promised revengefor the killing of three Somali pirates by the US navy isn't clear.2.No, the pirates haven’t been deferred.3.Because the financial rewards for a successful hijacking remainso great and Somalia remains so lawless.4.At any one time there are only fifteen to eighteen internationalwarships in the area to police an expanse of sea covering more than a million square kilometres.5.It may be because of the relatively small scale of the problem.Tape script of News Item One:The piracy problem looks like it's here to stay despite the recent muscular interventions by the French and American navies. Whether this latest attempted hijacking was the promised revenge for the killing of three Somali pirates by the US navy isn't clear. But it does suggest at the very least that the pirates haven't been deterred.So why does the problem persist Put simply maritime security analysts say piracy will continue as long as the financial rewards for a successful hijacking remain so great and Somalia remains so lawless. Certainly the international effort to thwart the problem is relatively limited. At any one time there are only fifteen to eighteen international warships in the area to police an expanse of sea covering more than a million square kilometres. Although it has been suggested that raids could be mounted on the pirates' home towns, it seems unlikely there'll be any major increase in the military effort unless there's a spectacular hijacking involving the deaths of many crew members.The reluctance to mount a major international naval operation in the area may also be down to the relatively small scale of the problem. Last year, according to figures from the International Maritime Bureau, nearly twenty three thousand ships passed through the Gulf of Aden. Only ninety two were hijacked.Rob Watson, BBC NewsNews Item 2Ex. A: Listen to the news and complete the summaryThis news item is about Obama’s military plan in Afghanistan.Ex. B: True or false.1.The President is considering leaving Afghanistan.F. (The President is making it clear that leaving Afghanistan isnot an option.)2. Obama wouldn’t shrink the number of troops in Afghanistan, neither would he deploy more military troops.T.3. President Obama thought his assessment would be "rigorous and deliberate".T.4. Opinions against Obama are not heard.F. (…some Republicans and me mbers of the President's own party are dubious about committing more resources and military personnel to a conflict where there is no end in sight.)5. The conflict in Afghanistan seems to be over soon.F. (…about committing more resources and military per sonnel to a conflict where there is no end in sight.)6. Afghanistan can be the second Vietnam.T. (The word 'Vietnam' is heard more and more on Capitol Hill.) Script of News Item Two:The President is making it clear that leaving Afghanistan is not an option. It's not on the table. According to one White House source, he told the meeting that he wouldn't shrink the number of troops in Afghanistan or opt for a strategy of merely targeting al-Qaeda leaders. But he wouldn't be drawn on the military request for more troops.There appears to be a frustration that the review of strategy has sometimes been portrayed in black-and-white terms of a massive increase or reduction of troop numbers.President Obama told the group made up of the most senior Republican and Democrat senators and congressmen that his assessment would be "rigorous and deliberate". But it's going ontoo long for some Republicans and members of the President's own party are dubious about committing more resources and military personnel to a conflict where there is no end in sight. The word 'Vietnam' is heard more and more on Capitol Hill.The President was certainly right when he said his final decision wouldn't make everyone in the room, or the country, happy.Mark Mardell, BBC News, WashingtonNews Item 3Ex. A: Listen and summarize the news itemThis news item is about fragile peace that returns to Gaza.Ex. B: Listen again and fill in the blanks.There were traffic jams on the road north, families heading to Gaza City to reunite with friends and relatives. Long lines of cars backed up at the makeshift roadblocks the Israelis have left behind. But the tanks are gone, only the deep tracks remain.There were buildings pitted with Israeli tank rounds; from the holes that have been punched in the walls it was clear there had also been snipers waiting for them. North of Khan Younis we saw some of the Qassam fighters returning home, their rifles slung lazilyaround their shoulders.For three weeks the Israelis pounded the tunnels that run beneath the perimeter wall but last night we met people who insist that some of these tunnels are still open and still some fuel is being pumped from the Egyptian sider. If the border crossings remain close, say the Palestinians, these tunnels are their only link to the outside world.Script of News Item 3There were traffic jams on the road north, families heading to Gaza City to reunite with friends and relatives.

If the border crossings remain close, say the Palestinians, these tunnels are their only link to the outside world.Christian Fraser, BBC News, GazaSection FourPart 1 Feature reportExercise A:This news report is about the recreation of the prehistoric world in Liaoning, China, based on the scientific findings on fossils discovered there.Exercise B:1.35 prehistoric animals were created.2.They recreated the extinct beasts through the marriage of science,art and technology.3.The exhibit is not behind the glass or otherwise enclosed, sovisitors are eye to eye with extinct beasts. It is displayed in this way so that visitors will feel as if they’ve stepped intoa Chinese forest 130 million years in the past.4.He says it’s accurate because every single plant, every insect,every organic feature in it actually represents something that has been found as a fossil in northeastern China.5.The only thing scientists had to make up is what color some ofthe animals were.6.According to Michael Novacek, birds are living dinosaurs.7.They study the movements of commonplace turkeys, chickens andostriches to learn how similarly-built dinosaurs would stand or walk.8.By using high-tech imagery, fossils, and the knowledge gainedfrom the biology of barnyard animals, scientists now estimate the giant T-Rex could reach speeds of 16 kilometers per hour, far slower that the more than 70 kilometers per hour previously thought.Script：Dinosaur Discoveries Made Possible through Art, Technology,Modern LivestockThe rolling hills of a province in northeastern China are now terraced for farming, but beneath that farmland are clues to a prehistoric world unlike any seen by human eyes - until this week.Some 130 million years after dinosaurs roamed the Liaoning forest, the world has been painstakingly recreated in New York City's American Museum of Natural History.The sound of the prehistoric forest is one of the few things that has been imagined in this 65 square-meter diorama. The gingko leaves, piney trees and life-sized models of 35 prehistoric animals were created through the marriage of science, art and technology, as every detail, down to the sleeping pose of a dinosaur, is based on scientific findings.The exhibit is not behind glass or otherwise enclosed, so visitors are eye-to-eye with extinct beasts, feeling as if they've stepped into a Chinese forest 130 million years in the past.Mark Norell is a paleontologist who has worked in Liaoning, searching for clues to recreate this prehistoric world."It's accurate because every single plant, every insect, every organic feature in it actually represents something that has been found as a fossil in northeastern China," he explained, "so the only thing that we had to sort of make up a little bit is what color some the animals were. Even though we know some of theme were patterned, but we know definitely that they were patterned, because we can seethat is the soft tissue remains, but we don't know what color they were but we try to be a little conservative in that regard, but nevertheless all the feathers you see, all the weird tail structures you see, is all stuff we found as fossils."Underneath the gingko trees, a feathered bird-like dinosaur chases on two legs after a large winged insect, the dinosaur's beak-like mouth open to reveal rows of jagged teeth. A sleeping dinosaur tucks its head beneath its arm, much as a modern goose tucks its head beneath its wing.The museum's curator of paleontology, Michael Novacek, explains that it is necessary to understand birds in order to better understand extinct creatures."The reason birds are so important to us is really a fact we weren't so aware of 10, 20 years ago is that birds are living dinosaurs. They're not just related to dinosaurs. They are dinosaurs," he stressed. "They're a branch of dinosaurs, so conveniently enough dinosaurs didn't go completely extinct. One group, the birds, survived."Scientists study the movements of commonplace turkeys, chickens and ostriches to learn how similarly built dinosaurs would stand or walk.Researchers even created a computer model of a giant chicken to learn more about the movements of the ever popular Tyrannosaurus Rex. By using high tech imagery, fossils, and the knowledge gained from the biology of barnyard animals, scientists now estimate the giant T-Rex could reach speeds of 16 kilometers per hour, far slower than the more than 70 kilometers per hour previously thought.These scientific findings are passed along to model designers, such as the creator of a six-foot-long mechanical T-Rex, a highlight of the new exhibit. The menacing skeleton's tail sways and its head bobs as the extinct dinosaur shifts its weight, plodding in place - yet another example of the never-before-seen becoming altogether real when science and technology meet art.Part 2 PassageExercise B1.The goal of this study was to determine what type of “gaze” isrequired to have this effect.2.The Queen’s study showed that the total amount of gaze receivedduring a group conversation is more important than when the eye contact occurs.3.The eye contact experiment used computer-generated images formactors who conveyed different levels of attention.4.The researchers concluded that people in group discussions willspeak up more if they receive a greater amount of eye contact from other group members.5.The effect of eye gaze has literally fascinated people throughoutthe ages.6.Exercise C1.

BExercise D1.The eye contact experiment used computer-generated images fromactors who conveyed different levels of attention (gazing at the subject, gazing at the other actor, looking away, and looking down). These images were presented to the subjects, who believed they were in an actual three-way video conferencing situation, attempting to solve language puzzles. Two conditions were studied: synchronized (where eye contact is made while the subject is speaking) and random contact, received at any time in the conversation. The researchers concluded that people in group discussions will speak up more if they receive a greater amount of eye contact from other group members and the total amount of gaze received during a group conversation is more important than when the eye contact occurs.2.Open.Script:Eye Contact Shown To Affect Conversation Patterns, GroupProblem-Solving AbilityNoting that the eyes have long been described as mirrors of the soul, a Queen's computer scientist is studying the effect of eye gaze on conversation and the implications for new-age technologies, ranging from video conferencing to speech recognition systems.Dr. Roel Vertegaal, who is presenting a paper on eye gaze at an international conference in New Orleans this week, has found evidence to suggest a strong link between the amount of eye contact people receive and their degree of participation in group communications. Eye contact is known to increase the number of turns a person will take when part of a group conversation. The goal of this study was to determine what type of "gaze" (looking at a person's eyes and face) is required to have this effect.Two conditions were studied: synchronized (where eye contact is made while the subject is speaking) and random contact, received at any time in the conversation. The Queen's study showed that the total amount of gaze received during a group conversation is more important than when the eye contact occurs.The findings have important implications for the design offuture communication devices, including more user-friendly and sensitive video conferencing systems – a technology increasingly chosen in business for economic and time-saving reasons – and Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs) which support communication between people and machines. Dr. Vertegaal's group is also implementing these findings to facilitate user interactions with large groups of computers such as personal digital assistants and cellular phones.The eye contact experiment used computer-generated images from actors who conveyed different levels of attention (gazing at the subject, gazing at the other actor, looking away, and looking down). These images were presented to the subjects, who believed they were in an actual three-way video conferencing situation, attempting to solve language puzzles. The researchers concluded that people in group discussions will speak up more if they receive a greater amount of eye contact from other group members. There was no relationship between the impact of the eye contact and when it occurred."The effect of eye gaze has literally fascinated people throughout the ages," says Dr. Vertegaal, whose paper, Explaining Effects of Eye Gaze on Mediated Group Conversations: Amount or Synchronization was presented this week at the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Conference on Computer SupportedCooperative Work."Sumerian clay tablets dating back to 3000 BC already tell the story of Ereshkigal, goddess of the underworld, who had the power to kill Inanna, goddess of love, with a deadly eye," says Dr. Vertegaal. "Now that we are attempting to build more sophisticated conversational interfaces that mirror the communicative capabilities of their users, it has become clear we need to learn more about communicative functions of gaze behaviors."。

Unit 4Section One Tactics for ListeningPart 1 Spot DictationStephen Powelson’s Amazing MemoryWhen Stephen Powelson was nine, his school organized a (1) weekly contest in memorizing passages f rom the Bible. Stephen paid (2) no attention until he was chided* for (3) not competing. The next Sunday he surprised everyone by (4) reciting all the passages for the (5) entire year.As a teenager in prep school, Stephen took Greek. His teacher (6) assigned 21 lines of the Iliad* to be memorized (7) in a week. At the end of the hour - though he (8) insisted he paid full attention to the (9) lecture - Stephen knew all 21. He went on to memorize the first (10) 100 lines.In 1978, for the first time (11) since college, Powelson, now 60, had some (12) spare time. To keep his mind active, he reread the Iliad and (13) discovered thathe still knew the first 100 lines (14) by heart.That someone could memorize so much between ages 60 and 70 is (15) astonishing to most people, who are (16) convinced that memory (17) worsens as we grow older.Powelson's method is to (18) read a book into his tape recorder, then read it several more times, making sure he understands (19) each word. "Also," he says, "I attempt to (20) visualize myself as part of the action."Part 2 Listening for GistYou might not know how rarely images are viewed directly through telescopes.The most common way to observe the skies is to photograph them. The processis very simple. First, a photographic plate is coated with a light-sensitive material. The plate is positioned so that the image received by the telescope isrecorded on it. Then the image can be developed, enlarged, and published sothat many people can study it.Because most astronomical objects are very remote, the light we receive fromthem is rather feeble. But by using a telescope as a camera, long time exposures can be made. In this way, objects can be photographed that are ahundred times too faint to be seen by just looking through a telescope.1)This passage is about how to photograph astronomical objects.2)Photograph, coated, light-sensitive material, positioned, received, recorded,developed, enlarged, published, remote, feeble, telescope, camera, longexposuresSection Two Listening ComprehensionPart one DialogueTunisian HolidayVocabularyamphitheatremosaiccoach n. 公共马车，普通旅客车厢resort n. 胜地，常去之地(Someone is enquiring about the Tunisian holiday.)Agent: Hello, Bath Travel.Client: Hello, I'd like to find out more about your Tunisian holiday for amateur archaeologists.

Most of the adult grey wolves weigh in the vicinity of 75 to 125 pounds (34 to 56 kilograms). Wolves livein family groups called packs. A pack is usually made up of a male parent, a female parent, their pups and a few other adult wolves who are the olderbrothers and sisters. Wolves can run up to 40 miles an hour and can easily cover 50 miles a day.The wolf has developed the capacity to survive in the most inhospitable of climates. The wolves in the high arctic endure several winter months of perpetual darkness. Even in February when the sun returns to the north,C and bitter winds are common. In the wild wolves can live temperatures of -40°up to 13 years or more; in a protected wolf park or a controlled area of land, a wolf can live to be up to 16 years old.1)After more than a century of assault by humans, the wolf population haddwindled to no more than a handful by the 1970s in Mexico and theAmerican southwest.2)The program is now about halfway to meeting its goal of a "wild"population of at least 100 wolves covering more than 12,800 squarekilometers.3)Decisions about mating, movement among the 45 captive-breeding facilitiesand releases into the wild are made by a US-Mexican committee ofscientists, land owners and others.4)A wolf with rare genes - until it has successfully reproduced - will never beof the high mortality rate in the wild.released because·5)The recovery program is gradually moving away from freeingcaptive-born wolves, as the population of pups born free takes off.****Francisco and Sheila were pioneers in a federal program in Eureka, 32 kilometers southwest of S1. Louis, the United States, to restore the endangered Mexican gray wolf, the rarest and most genetically distinct subspecies of gray wolf in North America.After more than a century of assault by humans, the wolf population had dwindled to no more than a handful by the 1970s in Mexico and the American southwest.The research center, popularly known as the Wolf Sanctuary*, was foundedin 1971 by Marlin Perkins, a world-renowned naturalist and former director ofthe St. Louis Zoo, and his wife Carol. Besides the Mexican wolf, the sanctuary works with the endangered red wolf, maned wolf (maned: 有鬃毛的; maned wolf 鬣狼), swift fox and African wild dogs.In the late 1970s, the last seven known wolves were captured in the wild or taken from zoos to begin the breeding program. In 1981, the first captive-bred litter of Mexican gray wolves produced in the federal program was born at the WildCanid (犬科动物) Center, and the first release into the wild took place in 1998.The program is now about halfway to meeting its goal of a "wild" population ofat least 100 wolves covering more than 12,800 square kilometers.Though in captivity themselves, Francisco and Sheila taught their pups so well that many are thriving in the wild. They were ideal parents. They raised 25 babies, taught them good survival skills and sent many of them off to live on their own.Nine of Francisco and Sheila's offspring were among the first 11 captive-born Mexican gray wolves released in 1998. Both parent wolves have since died - Francisco at age 14 in December. Sheila at age 16 in June 2000 - but they lived, as captive wolves often do, roughly twice as long as wolves in the wild. Today the Wild Canid Survival and Research Center in Eureka estimates that98 percent of Mexican wolves released from the federal program are descendants of the prolific* lobo* pair. （lobo=timber wolf）About 250 lobos now live in captivity at 45 US and Mexican facilities. TheWild Canid Center, however, has produced more puppies and housed more Mexican grays than any other facility.The Wild Canid Center is ideated* on 25 isolated hectares(公顷) within Washington University's Tyson Research Center.

Astroland's 22 rides and three game arcades provided jobs for up to 300 people.Astroland has been by far the biggest amusement center on Coney Island, which has been a favorite holiday destination for Americans in the New York area since the 19th Century. It is the birthplace of the hot dog and is known for its kitschy rides, street performers, sand beaches and family-friendly atmosphere.But Astroland's final chapter may be still to come. A few days after the park's announced closure, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said hope is not yet lost, and that city officials are trying to step in and get a one-year renewal of Astroland's lease.A.Astroland’s announced closureB.1.

It's a newly renovated and elevated promenade that was once a railway line for delivering cattle and other food stock. In 1980, the train made its last delivery, bringing frozen turkeys to lower Manhattan. In a densely populated city, the Highline now provides open space for relaxation as it winds through neighborhoods once noted for slaughterhouses.It's an oasis in a sea of concrete. The walkway includes more than 100 species of plants inspired by the wild landscape left after the trains stopped running. New construction is everywhere. Apartments, office towers, restaurants and even a museum have sprouted alongside the promenade.The first section of the Highline was inaugurated in May, after 15 years of planning and political battles. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, along with benefactors like clothing designer Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, media mogul Barry Diller, cut the ribbon.The first two sections of the Highline cost $152 million. Of that, $44 million was raised by the public. To those who visit, it seems it was well worth the wait and the money.News Item3African American History MuseumAn old Greyhound Bus* terminal sits unused in the heart of downtown Dothan, Alabama. It's hardly noticeable, nestled between two office buildings and surrounded by a chain link fence. There are no written signs that hint of the structure's controversial history. Four decades ago it was a symbol of racial segregation. During the 1960s, bus terminals like other public facilities throughout the American south were divided into white areas and black areas.The building still has the separate entrance and restroom facilities that black customers were legally required to use. Today, those elements have a different social value, and they will become one of the centerpieces of a new African American history museum.The museum will include galleries devoted to the accomplishments of George Washington Garver* and other black scientists and inventors. There will be a gallery depicting black heroes of military and social campaigns.And the city of Dothan is helping. It's providing the museum with some financial support, and it's already promoting the attraction to visitors. The G-W Carver Interpretive Museum should open doors by August and its director Francina Williams hopes to capitalize on Alabama's historic role . the center of America's Civil Rights movement. When visitors come to Birmingham, Selma and Montgomery to learn about the struggles that African Americans have endured, she would like them I make a side trip to Dothan to see what African Americans have contributed to Alabama, America Id the world.Exercise ADirections: Listen to the news item and complete the summary.This news item is about an African American history museum showing the struggles and contributions f African Americans.Exercise BDirection: Listen to the news again and decide whether the following statementsare true (T) or false (F).1.F2. T3. F4.F5.T6. T7. F8.TSection Four supplementary ExercisesPart 1 Feature ReportLamaina grew up listening to her grandfather's stories of Garaguso. Tommaso Lamaina immigrated from Garaguso to Philadelphia in the 1920s in search of work. But he never let his family forget the place where generations of their forefathers had lived.The stories inspired Lamaina’s dream of developing her own relationship with a place she was never able to visit with her grandfather, who died when she was a teenager. So in 2000, with years of experience as a professional photographer behind her, she decided to begin an annual pilgrimage to Garaguso to capture life there on film.Garaguso is a farming village, home to about 1,500 people, in the mountainous region of Basilicata, located in the instep of Italy's boot. It's one of the most remote and least developed zones in the country. After decades o f emigration, it's sparsely populated. One out of seven of thepeople who remain can't read or write.Lamaina's photos show a Garaguso that seems hardly to have changed in centuries, an anachronism compared with a very modern Italy. Taken in black and white, they show the winding cobblestone streets and ancient buildings of the historical centre. There are donkeys, loaded up with kindling for the open fires and stoves, which still warm the houses.There are portraits of men with gnarled faces, wearing black pants and white shirts from a past era. There's the local baker, whose family has been selling bread in the same building since the late 1700s. There are women with white hair and no teeth, dressed in black.Arriving in the village where her family had lived for generations was like a homecoming for Lamaina. She grew up in an inner-city neighborhood of Philadelphia, in the bosom of an immigrant southern Italian community. At home, her relatives spoke the dialect of Garaguso rather than English.But over the years, the reserve has lessened. Lamaina admits, and her work shows, that life in Garaguso is not easy. The locals work from sunup to sundown in the fields, tending their crops and animals. They eat what they produce. Little is imported and nothing goes to waste. But she believes it's rich in the things that matter, like generosity, hospitality and family ties. In this respect, she says, the village has something to teach those who see her work.Lamaina recently held an exhibition of her work in Florence, where she now lives. She's also giving a copy of her images to City Hall in Garaguso.After eight years of recording life there, Susanna Lucia Lamaina's not ready to put away her camera yet. She says she has many more photographs to take and hopes her work will put her family village on the map. Her grandfather, Tommaso Lamaina, would have been proud.A.Susanna Lucia Lamaina’s recording life in Garaguso.B.T,T,T, T,T,F,T,FPart 2 PassageSafari1)A blur of gold was spotted through the high, wind-whipped grasses and off wewalked toward the lion's den.2)He couldn't stop smiling as we crept closer and closer into the glow of theday's last light.3)Just a meter away from the lions a straggling buffalo loped by, but ourappearance seemed to distract them and the buffalo got away.4)Under an open sky we winded our way through cracked sun-baked pathways.Our guides knelt in the sand, pointing out the differences between the various animal tracks.5)Thrashing in the water a mauve-colored hippo grunted, snapped his giantjaws, and lunged forward.We kept our distance behind a log on the banks of the river.A blur of gold was spotted through the high, wind-whipped grasses and offwe walked toward the lion's den*. We glanced at each other nervously, but forged ahead. My friends and I had come to experience the African bush on foot, so, gulping, we fell in shaky step behind our two ranger guides. Their rifles wereat the ready. So were our zoom lenses. Seeing lions was a special treat, even for our veteran guide, and he couldn't stop smiling as we crept closer and closer into the glow of the day's last light.About 150 meters ahead we counted 10 lions sitting in a semicircle in the grass. Their heads poked up through the grass thicket, listening, aware.Just a meter away from the lions a straggling* buffalo loped by. Perhaps the lions' intended dinner But our appearance seemed to distract them and thebuffalo got away.We were in the Kruger National Park*, the largest game park in South Africa, on a guided walking safari.Kruger National Park is the country's main game* reserve. Roughly the sizeof Wales, it stretches for almost 2.5 million hectares across a maze of ecozones from flat scrubby bush, dense shrub-like Mopane tree covered hillsides to lush valleys.For three nights home was a circle of thatched roof two-person huts tucked behind a leafy grove of trees in an enclosed camp that included toilets and hot (mostly) showers.Dinner was served around an open fire, a massive kettle of hot water for teaor coffee steaming on a nearby pile of smoldering coals.The only light after dark were swaths of luminous stars overhead and ourkerosene* lanterns.We joked that we had arrived to the catered version of "Survivor".The first morning we climbed out from beneath mosquito nets to the muffled sounds of an elephant munching on a tree behind our huts, which were separated only by several meters and a wire mesh fence.As if the elephant was not wake-cup call enough, outside each hut a jug of water had been poured into a plastic basin for a quick face wash before hittingthe trails.Under an open sky we winded our way through cracked sun-baked pathways through baobab* and kudu* berry trees. Our guides knelt in the sand, pointing out the differences between the various animal tracks.A line in the sand told a crocodile had recently slipped into a nearby pool.Later we saw a crocodile sunning on a rock not far from where we had been swimming the day before.In the same area we had a sunset sighting of a mauve*-colored hippo* who was not happy to see us.Thrashing in the water he grunted, snapped his giant jaws, and lunged* forward. We kept our distance behind a log on the banks of the river where welater got a glimpse at a family of baboons*.On our last evening streaks of orange made the sky glow as if on tangerine* fire. We were all on a high from our lion sighting.I inhaled the colors, the silhouette* of buffalos grazing near a watering hole, the evening dropped in temperature and squeezed a friend's hand.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionHere are the top parks for anAfrican safari:The beautiful Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, the world-famous Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, the lush green Okavango Delta and Chobe National Park in Botswana and the Etosha National Park in Namibia.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

听力教程4第三版施心远听力原文The neighborhood children my age played together: either active, physical games outdoors or games of dolls- and-house indoors. I, on the other hand, spent much of my childhood alone. I'd curl up in a chair reading fairytales and myths, daydreaming, writing poems or stories and drawing pictures.和我同龄的邻里孩子们一起玩：要么在户外进行体育活动，要么在室内玩玩偶和房子。

一、另一方面，我的童年大部分时间是独自度过的。

我会蜷缩在椅子上读童话和神话，做白日梦，写诗歌或故事，画画。

Sometimes around the fourth grade, my“big”(often critical, judgmental) Grandma, who'd been visiting us said to me,“"What's wrong with you? Why don't the other children want to play with you?" I remember being startled and confused by her question.有时在四年级的时候，我的“大”奶奶（经常是挑剔的、挑剔的）来看望我们，她对我说：“你怎么了？为什么其他孩子不想和你一起玩呢？”我记得被她的问题吓了一跳，弄糊涂了。

I'd never been particularly interested in playing with the other children. It hadn't, till then, occurred to me that that was either odd or something with me. Nor had it occurred to me that they didn't“want to play with"me. My first conscious memory of feeling different was in the fouth grade.我从来没有对和其他孩子一起玩特别感兴趣。

Take notes and complete the following summary.People want frogs mostly for food. Many Asian cultures have included frog legs in their diets for centuries —or at least until they have run out of frogs. But the most famous frog-eaters, and the people who inspired frog-eating in Europe and the United States are the French. By 1977 the French government, so concerned about the scarcity of its native frog, banned commercial hunting of its own amphibians*. So the French turned to India and Bangladesh for frogs.As happened in France, American frog-leg fanciers and restaurants also turned increasingly to frozen imports. According to figures collected from government agencies, the United States imported more than 6.5 million pounds of frozen frog meat each year between 1981 and 1984.So many frozen frog legs were exported from India to Europe and the United States.One of the attractions of Indian frogs, apart from the fact that they have bigger legs than French frogs, was the price. In L ondon, a pound of frozen frog’s legs from India cost about ￡1.75, compared with ￡3.75 for the French variety.Indian scientists have described as “disastrous” the rate at which frogs are disappearing from the rice fields and wetlands, where they protect crops by devouring* damaging insects.Since the India and Bangladesh frog-export bans, Indonesia has become the major exporter of frog legs to the United States and Europe. But no matter what country the legs come from, one thing is usually constant: The legs once belong to frogs that are taken from the wild, not from farms. Frogs are nearly impossible to farm economically in the countries where frogs are commercially harvested from the wild.KeyA. 1.

I mean, most people think health clubs are reallyexpensive.Lorna: Actually our rates are really quite competitive. Since we only started lastJuly, we’ve kept them down to attract customers. It’s only ￡30 a year tojoin. Then an hour in the gym costs ￡2.50 — the same as half an hour onthe sunbed. Sauna and Jacuzzi are both ￡1.50 for half an hour.Interviewer: And is the club doing well?Lorna: Well, so far, yes, it’s doing really well. I had no idea it was going to besuch a success, actually. We’re both very pleased. The sunbed’s sopopular, especially with the over 65s, that we’re getting another one in August.Interviewer: What kind of people join the club?Lorna: We have people of all ages here, from small children to old-age pensioners, though of course the majority, about three-quarters of our members, are in their 20s and 30s. They come in their lunch hour, to usethe gym, mostly, or after work, while the youngsters come when school finishes, around half past three or four. The Jacuzzi’s very popular withthe little ones.Interviewer: What about the old-age pensioners?Lorna: They’re usually around in the mornings, when we offer them special reduced rates —for the Jacuzzi or sauna, plus sunbed, it’s only ￡2, whichis half price, actually.

Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you willhear.Skiing in France is heaven on Earth for a dedicated skier. There are resorts where you can access skiing terrain that is larger than all the ski resorts in Utah* and Colorado* combined.The larger resorts have an adequate number of restaurants and discos. It is a good idea to eat a good lunch because the mountain restaurants are normally much better than the restaurants in the ski stations.French resorts are mostly government owned and operated. The social system puts a high percentage of money back into the areas. This provides state-of-theart* lifts, snow making and snow grooming. In general, an intermediate skier who can read a lift map will easily be able to ski all day avoiding lift lines and crowds, even during the busiest season.The French school systems have a staggered* two-week winter vacation period. When the snow is good, nearly all of France migrates to the mountains for this period. The break usually covers the last two weeks of February and the first week of March. The time to absolutely avoid is the “Paris school holiday week” which will always be in the middle period of the vacation time but alternates starting the first or second week of the break.No one has a more undeserved* reputation about his or her character than the French.The French are not generally arrogant and rude. True, in large tourist centers there are unpleasant people and if you’re looking for or expecting rudeness, you may just provoke* it.Generally the French, especially in the countryside, are as kind as you wish and you will find warmth and acceptance. The most fractious* Frenchman is easily disarmed by a little sincerity*.When greeting someone or saying good-bye, always shake hands. Don’t use a firm, pumping handshake, but a quick, slight pressure one. When you enter a room or a shop you should greet everyone there. If you meet a person you know very well, use their first name and kiss both cheeks. Men don’t usually kiss unless they are relatives. Good topics of conversation include food, sports, hobbies and where you come from. Topics to avoid are prices, where items were bought, what someone does for a living, income and age. Questions about personal and family life are considered private. Expect to find the French well-informed about the history, culture and politics of other countries. To gain their respect, be prepared to show some knowledge of the history and politics of France.France is generally a very safe country to visit. Pickpockets, however, are not unheard of.In large cities particularly, take precautions against theft. Always secure your vehicles, leave nothing of value visible and don’t carry your wallet in your back pocket. Beware of begging children!Questions:1. How large are the ski resorts in France?2. Why do people prefer to eat lunch at the mountain restaurants?3. How do most of the French resorts operate?4. What kind of vacation do French students usually have?5. What kind of unfair reputation do the French have?6. What is recommended when greeting someone or saying good-bye?7. What are good topics of conversation?8. What is still necessary when visiting France?C. Listen to the passage again and discuss the following questions.KeyA. Skiing can be divided into cross-country skiing and alpine skiing. Cross-country skiingis a low-impact, aerobic activity. It is becoming increasingly popular. It can be enjoyed even if you have a relatively low skill level. It does not require exorbitant lift fees, and it has a relatively low injury rate (cross-country skiing has an injury rate about 10 times less than alpine skiing). Skiing uses more muscles than running and is less stressful on the legs.Alpine or downhill skiing is a popular family sport shared by people of all ages and athletic abilities. It has less benefits for aerobic fitness than cross-country skiing because activity is usually in short bursts, but it is good for strengthening muscles particularly those in the upper leg. Alpine skiing is also a tough sport, particularly demanding on the legs.B. 1. C 2. A 3. A 4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 8. DC. 1. Because there are resorts where you can access skiing terrain that is larger than all theski resorts in Utah and Colorado combined.2. Because in a French resort an intermediate skier who can read a lift map will easily beable to ski all day avoiding lift lines and crowds, even during the busiest season.3. This staggered two-week winter vacation period usually covers the last two weeks ofFebruary and the first week of March.4. The French are not generally arrogant and rude. Generally they are as kind as youwish.5. In large cities in France, always secure your vehicles, leave nothing of value visibleand don’t carry your wallet in your back pocket. Beware of begging children!D. 1.

The mostfractious Frenchman is easily disarmed by a little sincerity.Part 4 NewsNews item 1 India’s Selfie CampaignScriptA. Listen to the news item and answer the following questions. Then give a briefsummary about the news item.Recently, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a campaign on social media.The campaign is aimed at recognizing and celebrating the lives of girls. It is part of the Indian government’s “Save Daughter, Teach Daughter” movement, which began earlier this year.The Indian leader used a radio broadcast last Sunday to urge people to publish photographs taken with their daughters on social media. He expressed hope that this could revolutionize the movement to save the country’s girls.Sexual inequality has long been a major problem in India’s highly patriarchal* society.For years, Indian families have wanted boys more than girls. In India, many girls are considered inferior to boys. Some are even killed before they are born or as newborns because they are thought to be less desirable. For every 1,000 boys up to the age of six years, India has 914 girls.It was not j ust fathers in India who answered Mr. Modi’s call. Fathers in countries as far away as Sweden also posted pictures with daughters.Social activists hope this campaign will not just be another public relations effort, but will support India’s push to give its daughters the same positions as its sons.B.

Listen to the news item and fill out the following chart. Then give a brief summaryabout the news item.As we age, we often take longer to recover from injuries. That is, for some people.After a Japanese woman suffered a knee injury, she became a competitive swimmer —at age 88.Nearing the age of 101 has not slowed down one Japanese woman. In fact, in the swimming pool — she is only getting faster.Recently, a 100-year-old Japanese woman became the world’s first centenarian*to complete a 1,500-meter freestyle swimming competition in a 25-meter pool. Her name is Mieko Nagaoka. Ms. Nagaoka set a world record for her age group at a recent Japan Masters Swimming Association event in the western city of Matsuyama. She swam the race in one hour, 15 minutes and 54 seconds.And Ms. Nagaoka was not competing against others. In fact, Ms. Nagaoka was the only competitor in the 100–104 year old category*. Her race was not a race of speed but of endurance*, or not giving up.In 2002, at a masters swim meet in New Zealand, Ms. Nagaoka took the bronze medal in the 50-meter backstroke.

You can write down some key words and phrases.There is a street called “The Strand” in Galveston,where hundreds of thousands of tourists visit today. This street was Mama’s stomping* ground as a kid. Before Mama died, we took a streetcar around Galveston to see all the lovely, restored homes. What a great day.She knew more than the tour guide. As we sat enjoying the sights, Mama said, “Liz, do you know why my nose is a littl e crooked*?” (I thought, “Where did that come from?”) “No, Mama, you haven’t ever mentioned it,” I replied.“Well,” said mother, “one day I followed my brothers to The Strand, and a streetcar ran over me. I put myself flat down between the rails and pushed my face in the ground so hard that I broke my nose! It sure caused a lot of chaos*. People screamed, the police came, and I just crawled out, brushed myself off and went home. The only thing I ever noticed different about me was a crooked nose.”I just looked at her nose and looked at Mama in utter disbelief!Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 PassageBabies and IntelligenceScriptA. Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.Some people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.Research scientists at the National Institute of Child Health and Development note that babies are strongly influenced bytheir environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other humans. This ability to learn exists in a baby even before birth. They say newborn babies can recognize and understand sounds they heard while they were still developing inside their mothers.The Finnish researchers used devices to meas ure the babies’ brain acti vity. The researchers played recordings of spoken sounds for up to one hour while the babies slept.The head of the study believes that babies can learn while asleep because the part of their brains called the cerebral cortex* remains active at night. The cortex is very important for learning. This part of the brain is not active in adults while they sleep. Many experts say the first years of a child’s l ife are important for all later development.An American study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. The study involved more than 1,200 mothers and children.Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. They observed the mothers playing with their children four times during this period.The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old.The children of depressed women did not do as well on tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly on tests of language skills and understanding what they hear. These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.Another study suggests that babies who are bigger at birth generally are more intelligent later in life. It found that the intelligence of a child at seven years of age is directly linked to his or her weight at birth. Study organizers say this is probably because heavier babies received more nutrition* during important periods of brain development before they were born.The study involved almost 3,500 children. Researchers in New York City used traditional tests to measure intelligence. Brothers and sisters were tested so that the effects of birth weight alone could be separated from the effects of diet or other considerations.The researchers found that children with higher birth weights generally did better on the intelligence tests. Also, the link between birth weight and intelligence later in life was stronger for boys than for girls.B. Listen to the passage again and complete the chart.KeyA. 1.

It is made up of players who have lost legs and arms, mostly during the earthquake in 2010. Just as the players are different, so is their field, called a “pitch”. People live near it. There are pools of water on it.And cows walk by. The players kick with the same leg they stand on. Goalies defend with the only arm they have. The team is called Zaryen. That is Creole for “tarantula’ — a spider that can live without one of its legs. A balcony collapsed on Judithe Facile during the earthquake.She was near death. Soccer has brought her back to life.“Now I feel like I’m alive. Because, before that, after I lost my leg, I didn’t have any hope for the future, even though I was walking on the crutches.”Cedieu Fortilus says the players have changed the way Haitians think about the disabled.“When I see they are playing like that, I’m so proud. I’m so proud. I think I’m doing a good job. So, I see so many people, even Haitian, if they are crossing the street, they take time to look at them because they are doing something very strange. Something many Haitians have never seen in their life.”Several organizations in the United States give money to the team, and pay for artificial arms and legs for all Haitians who need them.Cindy Orange says: “Soccer has taught me to do a lot of things on one leg that I wasn’t used to doing before. I feel comfortable when I’m playing.”Key1. That’s because this soccer team in Haiti is formed by those p layers who have losttheir legs and arms.。

Inland the winds will drop, and temperatures should rise to 20°C although there islittle chance of the sun breaking through.Along the south coast the day will start clear and bright, with tempera tures climbing to 25°C by midday. However, by late afternoon, clouds wi ll appear from the southwest bringing the possibility of some humidity.In western region, covering Wales and southwest england as far as Bristol, heavy rain has already set in, and in England it is expected to continue for the rest of the day, with temperatures only reaching 17 or 18 degrees.The worst of the rain should have cleared Pembroke and west Walesby mid-afternoon and occasional breaks in the cloud may lift the temperatures to 19, but further north, more rain blowing across the Irish sea, with high winds, will keep the temperature down to 15 or 16 degrees; low for t his time of the year.Finally, for the rest of England and Scotland, the weather will be cha ngeable; with rain from the west clearing by mid-morning, and then brighter periods with scattered showers will cover most of the Midlands and Sc otland. The winds will be fresh from the northwest becoming chilly in thenorth of Scotland. As night falls, fog will roll in from the North Sea andmost of the northeast Scottish coast will have restricted visibility. Temperatures will decrease rapidly in the evening, in some places in the extremenorth falling to 7 degrees.

But they also called on the International Monetary Fund and the International Energy Agency to jointly examine the recent price rise.I.M.F. chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn said that some G-Eightministers were concerned about financial speculation. How important it is and what influence it has on the market will be investigated, he says. Areport is expected in October.Futures markets now largely set the price of oil. Yet these contractsrarely involve an exchange of real barrels of oil. Most oil is traded on what is called the spot market or through other contracts between producers and users.

He knew he shou ld have gone to the dentist earlier. But he always put off seeing the dentist .Yesterday afternoon David went to see his dentist because he couldn’t bear the pain any more. David told him that the tooth had kept him awak e the night before. Then the dentist looked into his mouth, but he did not look only at the one tooth. Instead he looked them all over.“Hmm,” he said. “I’m afraid several of your teeth need seeing to.” He began to describe exactly what needed doing. David listened to him with a kind of sick feeling in the stomach.“I should say that at least four teeth have cavities. We’ll have to see t o them i mmediately.”David asked about the tooth that had been aching. “I may be able to s ave it,” the dentist said to him.Section Four: Supplementary ExercisePart 1—Listening ComprehensionPassage 1: Package HolidaysPackage holidays, covering a two weeks’ stay in an attractive locatio n are increasingly popular, because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination.Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing—youname it—it’s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bot her 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 almostyour entire time travelling. Of course, there are carefully scheduled stopsfor you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous cities, with a politereminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the coach next mornin g. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow. There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to s pend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before, ma y not like and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from. As again st this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or eld erly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on ho liday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seats and watch the world go by.Exercise:1. B2. A3. D4. B5. A6. B7. C8. CPassage 2 SkyscrapersThe first skyscrapers were built in the United States. As early as the 1 880s, two new technical developments made these taller buildings possibl e. One development was the mechanical elevator. It meant that people would ot have to climb many steps to reach the upper floors of tall buildings. Elevators could carry them quickly to the top floors.The development of steel also helped make taller buildings possible. Walls of stone, concrete and other materials had supported earlier buildin gs. But such walls were too heavy for a truly tall building. Pieces of steel, however, could help form a strong skeleton for a tall building. The steel f rame was strong enough to support the building. Walls could be made of glass or other thin materials. Today, most skyscrapers have steel frames with glass or metal walls connected to them.The first skyscraper was built in Chicago, Illinois in 1885. It was the Home Insurance Building. It was almost 55 meters tall, By the early 1990s, skyscrapers were rising in all large American cities, especially in New York.The world’s most famous skyscraper was built there in 1931. The Em pire State Building was the tallest building in the world for more than fort y years. It is still one fo the most popular. Each year, more than 3,000,000visitors to New York City ride an elevator to the top of the Empire State Building. They stand outdoors in a special observation area almost 380 meters above the ground. From there, they can see all of the city of New York far below.By the 1950s, most big American businesses had their headquarters i n skyscrapers. The goal was to keep all employees of the same company t ogether. By the 1960s and early 1970s, almost every skyscraper looked th e same. They were like boxes with flat tops and square sides. The buildin gs were made of glass, steel and concrete.European architects invented this simple design. It is called the International Style. They wanted to create buildings for working people. Theywanted buildings that were simple and expressed the idea that all peoplewere equal. But after a while, architects and other people bacame tired ofbuildings that looked like boxes. They said that too many of them made a city look ugly.Today, architects are designing many unusual and interesting skyscra pers. Some architects use elements of past, classical architecture in their s kyscrapers. For example, they might use tall stone columns like those of Greek temples in a new skyscarper.Some recent skyscrapers rise up from the ground in long, wide curves. Some are round, rising into the air like a steel pipe. Others have uneven shapes, with walls of different sizes. Architects also use different buildingmaterials to make skyscrapers more beautiful and interesting. They use granite and other kinds of stone to add color to the newest tall buildings. Colored glass also has become popular in skyscrapers.Exercise:In late 19th century two new technical developments made skyscrapers possible.One development was the mechanical elevator.The other development was steel.Earlier skyscrapers:The first skyscraper was built in Chicago, USA in 1885.The world’s most famous skyscraper, the Empire State Building was built in New York, in 1931.Skyscrapers of 1960s and early 1970s:Every skyscraper looked the same.They were like boxes with flat tops and square sides.They were made of glass, steel and concrete.This simple design expressed the idea that all people were equal.

Directions: Listen to the passage and answer the following questions1) What makes the difference between success and failure ina negotiation?How you deal with emotions, your own and those on the other side, makes the difference between success and failure in a negotiation.2) What does the notion of a lack of power and self-respect lead to in negotiation?The negotiator with this notion is often immediately put at an disadvantage.3) What do positive emotions and negative emotions bring about ina negotiation?Positive emotions elicit good feelings and often lead to good solutions; negative ones cloud the brain and reduce our capacity to think, learn and remember.Exercise 21) Appreciation: Understanding the other side’s point of view, finding merit in their ideas and communicating your understanding.2) Affiliation: Try to build genuine connections with the otherside as human beings, not merely as adversaries.3) Autonomy: The recognition that both you and the other side are free to affect or make decisions.4) Status: Competition over status is a dead end.

We can get worked up about issues that are of little importance. As Aristotle pointed out, "One can become angry; that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose--that is not easy."2.
