Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington University, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller:Dr. Miller: Thank you for that introduction. Today, Id like to preface my remarks with a story from my own life which I feel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting back the tears, he spoke proudly of the fact that he had built their home from the ground up, and that he had pounded every nail and laid every brick in the process. The prospect of having to sell their home and give up their independence, and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. It was,in my grandfathers own words, like having a limb cut off. He exclaimed in a forceful manner that he felt he wasnt important anymore.For them and some older Americans, their so-called “golden years”are at times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of not only ones health but the loss of identity and self-worth. In many societies, this self-identity is closely related with our social status, occupation, material possessions, or independence. Furthermore, we often live in societies that value what is “new” or in fashion, and our own usage of words in the English language is often a sign of bad news for older Americans. I mean how would your family react if you came home tonight exclaiming, “Hey, come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!” Unfortunately, the word “old” calls to mind images of the need to replace or discard.Now, many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform, medical care, and the development of public facilities for senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, Id like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies.First of all, Id like to talk about . . .16. What does the introduction say about Dr. Howard Millers articles and books?17. What is the greatest fear of Dr. Millers grandfather?18. What does Dr. Miller say the “golden years” can often mean?19. What is the focus of Dr. Millers speech?解：这是一篇关于老龄化社会，老年人的晚年生活等问题的演讲。
英语四级年底全面启用新大纲新题型英语四级年底全面启用新大纲新题型英语新四级年底开考省教育考试院消息，今年下半年开始，全国大学英语四级考试全面启用新大纲、新题型；六级考试下半年试点，明年开始全部按新大纲命题、考试。
与原四级考试相比，第一、新四级考试流程有调整。
四级先考写作后考听力新四级的考试流程与原四级正好相反，先考写作，听力考试则放在了最后。
9时10分考试正式开始，考试分为四个部分：9时10分～9时40分写作，9时40分～9时55分快速阅读理解，10时～11时20分做答第三、四部分听力。
考听力时，直接播放试题，之前不再播放考场指令。
第二、听力比重明显增加。
新题型中，听力比重由原来的20%上升到35%，其中听力对话占15%。
时间加长至35分钟。
以往考查的小对话由原来的10题减少为8题，另外还增加了长对话这种新题型，共两篇。
第三、新四级考试翻译题型发生了变化，由考查英译汉转变为考查汉译英。
六级成绩分4部分，分别为：听力(20%)、阅读(40%)、综合(25%)、作文(15%)。
各单项的满分分别为：听力142分；阅读284分；综合178分；作文106分。
四六级限在校学生参考大学英语四、六级考试对象限制在高校内部，全日制普通高等院校本、专科、研究生在校生、各类全日制成人高等学校本、专科在校生、修完大学英语四级课程的学生才能报考大学英语四级(CET4)，修完大学英语六级课程且CET4达到425分或具有CET4合格证书的学生才能报考CET6。
社会考生可参加全国英语等级考试。
针对社会上“全国大学英语四、六级考试会不会取消”的猜测，教育部新闻发言人王旭明日前说，“四、六级英语考试仍然是评价大学英语教学的一个相对客观的标准。
”“大学英语四、六级考试已经走过20年，考生规模已经达到1000多万人。
四、六级英语考试对我国高等教育英语教学质量的提高发挥了重要作用，不会被取消。
”。
四六级新题型改革这次四六级新题型改革引起了各方讨论（【官方通知】关于大学英语四、六级考试题型调整的说明），大家普遍认为难度有所增加。
难度上是否有所增加暂且不提，但单从测试结构上来说，对四六级考生的确实提出了更高的要求。
首先，主观题所占分值比例大幅度增加了。
在英语四六级考试改革前的英语四六级试卷中，主观题比例仅占到20%。
而这次改革后，主观题比例上升到30%。
其次，在很大程度上抑制了临时抱佛脚的侥幸心态。
纵观这次发布的样卷，单纯对某个词汇和语法点的考察题型已经全部取消，取而代之的是对考生英语综合运用能力的考察。
再次，四六级整卷中每个部分所占的分值比例分布更为合理。
除了听力和阅读仍然是得分大头外，其余部分的洗牌让整个分值分布更为平均。
这就让之前绝大多数培训机构所宣扬的抓大题放小题的策略失效，每个部分都变得举足轻重。
题型的变革代表着考委会希望四六级考生不仅仅能够通过这个考试，同时也能全面提高英语应用能力。
那么，对于如此重大的变革，我们的四六级考生应该如何备考呢？从宏观的指导思想上来说有两点需要注意：首先，大家要从心态上杜绝临时抱佛脚、侥幸过级的想法。
至少给自己间留出3个月左右的备考时间，不要再因为报考费便宜而总是裸考。
要知道，总是裸考不过，既伤心又伤钱包啊。
再者，从复习策略上来看，首先，你需要判断一下自己当前水平。
如果整体基础较差，单词大部分不认识、句子看不懂。
那么建议先老老实实背单词，学点语法。
这个学习过程大约需要至少持续一个月左右。
等到单词认得差不多了，我们再来谈解题技巧、出题思路这些知识。
解决了以上两点，现在我们来具体谈谈如何提高各部分能力来应对新题型改革。
从试卷结构上来看，新题型的改革主要集中在听力、阅读、翻译三个分项上。
下面我们就从这三方面出发，给予大家一些建议。
听力：想要提高听力就练听写。
这个已经是一个亘古不变的真理了。
看到这里的同学，你可长长心吧，不如利用空余时间来大家论坛四六级每日一练多练练听力。

全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会
2013年8月14日。
自2006年1月开始，参加大学英语教学改革试点的学生已经试行采用改革后的六级考试，并于2007年1月全面实施改革后的六级考试。
改革后的六级考试在考试内容形式、计分方法和成绩发放方面与旧的六级考试有了明显的改变。
一、六级考试题型的变化在试卷构成上，六级考试的改革主要体现在以下方面：（1）听力理解部分的分值比例从原来的20%提高至35%；增加了长对话听力理解测试，复合式听写由原来的备选题型改为必考题型。
（2）阅读理解部分增加了快速阅读技能测试。
（3）词汇和语法知识不再单独列为考项，而融入了其他各部分试题中进行考核。
（4）增加了句子层面的汉译英测试。
（5）增加了构建型试题的比例，减少了多项选择题的比例。
二、六级考试新题型包含的内容1．试卷构成大学英语六级考试由四个部分构成：即听力理解、阅读理解、改错或完型填空、写作和翻译。
六级考试各部分测试内容、题型和所占比例如下表所示：2．题型分解大学英语六级考试各部分所考核的内容、题型、答题方式如下所示。
1）听力理解听力理解部分测试学生获取口头信息的能力。
录音材料用标准的英式或美式英语朗读，语速约为每分钟150词。
听力部分分值比例为35%，其中对话占15%，短文占20%。
考试时间35分钟。
对话部分（Listening Conversations）包括短对话和长对话，均采用多项选择题的形式进行考核。
短对话约有7～8段，每段为一轮对话和一个问题；长对话有两段，每段为7～10轮对话和3～4个问题；对话部分共15题。
每段对话均朗读一遍，每个问题后留有13秒的答题时间。
短文部分包括多项选择题型的短文理解（Listening Passages）和复合式听写（Compound Dictation）。
多项选择题型的短文有3篇，每篇长度为200～260词，朗读一遍，每篇3～4题，共10题，每个问题后留有13秒的答题时间。
复合式听写测试考生在不同层面上（从词汇到语篇层面）的听力理解能力。
六级新样题浮出水面四六级改革尘埃落定六级新样题浮出水面四六级改革尘埃落定六级新样题浮出水面四六级改革尘埃落定根据《全国大学英语四、六级考试改革方案（试行）》，全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会设计了六级考试新题型样卷并于日前公布，于2006年12月进行试测，并于2007年6月正式全面使用。
本次六级题型改革，借鉴了国内外较成功的语言测试体系，更加提高了其科学性、客观性和可操作性。
作为中国人自己的英语水平测试，尽管它不是最好的语言测试工具，但目前难以找到比他更好的测试手段。
最近，一个名为《一位清华老教授的呼吁：英语成考试工具应把四六级考试停掉》的帖子，在各大论坛上异常火爆，认为标准化、机械化、公式化、概念化的语文考试指导下的课堂讲解和课外作业，只能窒息学生对语言的感悟和天赋才能，严重摧残他们的创造力。
学生找不到自己的话语结构，忘记了甚至丧失了自己的思维能力与表达能力，渐渐磨就成一种虚伪应付的策略，一套应付测试包括作文立意的假话。
改革之后的六级英语考试会在教学上更契合大学英语的教学要求，也会调整学生英语学习的侧重点，但却并不会根本脱离它之前所扮演的角色。
毕竟，目前中国的社会需要这样一个权威的英语考试标准来作为学校和用人单位衡量人才英语水平的标准。
语言测试是一个工具，而工具本身并没有错，我们所要做的是如何科学、合理地使用它。
新设计的试题题型中第三部分变动较大，将原来15分的词汇与结构改为改错与翻译，现在就公布的样题对综合部分做一些介绍与分析。
听力:新六级听力中包含有四种不同的题型，分别是短对话、长对话、段落听力理解和听写，其中比较有新意，构成一定的备考难度的是长对话题型。
这种题型依旧借鉴国外成熟考试的模式，它让考生所听的内容加长，要捕捉信息的难度也在加大。
但是，这种题型只是从短对话到段落理解的一种过渡。
相比较而言，段落理解的难度可能还要更大一些，在给出的三篇短文听力理解样题中，第二篇讲到了美国的国鸟白头鹰，其中讲到了杀虫剂ddt对这种珍惜动物的危害，而第三篇讲到了眼泪的作用，其中出现了lubricate这个在听力中不算简单的词汇。
随着2013年12月新的大学英语四六级考试新题型的改革，CET-6英语四级的分数分配及比例，也是各位同学特别需要关注的信息，下面是新的题型及分数分配
一、英语六级作文
说明：写作部分占整套试卷的15% =106.5分时间：30分钟。

The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. Last July, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. When did the incident occur?Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.1.A) Christmas-time attacks made by Somali rebels.B) An explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi.C) The killing of more than 70 Ugandans in Kampala.D) Blasts set off by a Somali gr oup in Uganda’s capital.2.A) On Christmas Eve. C) During a security check.B) Just before midnight. D) In the small hours of the morning.Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It’s been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token £1 failed.The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain’s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years.Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.Many of the store group’s 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report?4. What did Woolworths attempt to do recently?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.3. A) It is likely to close many of its stores.B) It is known for the quality of its goods.C) It remains competitive in the recession.D) It will expand its online retail business.4. A) Expand its business beyond groceries.B) Fire 25,000 of its current employees.C) Cut its DVD publishing business.D) Sell the business for one pound.Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution. In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.The idea has proved popular w ith customers ― they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. Banks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white to a plain white colour.5. What change took place in Cairo recently?6. What helped bring about the change?7. Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.5. A) All taxis began to use meters.B) All taxis got air conditioning.C) Advertisements were allowed on taxis.D) Old taxis were replaced with new cabs.6. A) A low interest loan scheme. C) Taxi passengers’ complaints.B) Environmentalists’ protests. D) Permission for car advertising.7.

Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington Universit y, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller:Dr. Miller:Thank you for that introduction. Today, I’d like to preface my remarks with a story from my ownlife which I feel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years.

And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, I’d like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies.First of all, I’d like to talk about . . .16. What does the introduction say about Dr. Howard Miller’s articles and books?17. What is the greatest fear of Dr. Miller’s grandfather?18. What does Dr. Miller say the “golden years” can often mean?19. What is the focus of Dr. Miller’s speech?Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.16. A) They investigate the retirement homes in America.B) They are on issues facing senior citizens in America.C) They describe the great pleasures of the golden years.D) They are filled with fond memories of his grandparents.17.

A) The urgency of pension reform.B) Medical care for senior citizens.C) Finding meaningful roles for the elderly in society.D) The development of public facilities for senior citizens.Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.20. A) It seriously impacts their physical and mental development.B) It has become a problem affecting global economic growth.C) It is a common problem found in underdeveloped countries.D) It is an issue often overlooked by parents in many countries.21. A) They will live longer. C) They get along well with people.B) They get better pay. D) They develop much higher IQs.22. A) Appropriated funds to promote research of nutrient-rich foods.B) Encouraged breastfeeding for the first six months of a child’s life.C) Recruited volunteers to teach rural people about health and nutrition.D) Targeted hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children.Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.The 2010 Global Hunger Index report was released today by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). It notes that, in recent years, experts have come to the conclusion that undernourishment between conception and a child’s second birthday can have serious andlong-lasting impacts.Undernourishment during this approximately 1,000-day window can seriously check the growth and development of children and render them more likely to get sick and die than well-fed children. Preventing hunger allows children to develop both physically and mentally.Says IFPRI’s Marie Ruel, “They will be more likely to perform well in school. They will stay in school longer. And then at adulthood, IFPRI has actually demonstrated that children who were better nourished have higher wages, by a pretty large margin, by 46 percent.”Ruel says that means the productivity of a nation’s future generations depends in a large part on the first 1,000 days of life.“This is why we’re all on board in focusing on those thousand days to improve nutrition. After that, the damage is done and is highly irreversible.”The data on nutrition and childhood development has been slowly coming together for decades. But Ruel says scientific consensus alone will not solve the problem.“It’s not enough that nutritionists know you have to intervene then, if we don’t have the politicians on board, and also the...people that implement [programs] in the field.”Ruel says there are encouraging signs that politicians and implementers are beginning to get on board. Many major donors and the United Nations are targeting hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children. They focus on improving diets or providing micro-food supplements. They improve access to pre-birth care and encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a child’s life.Ruel says in the 1980s Thailand was able to reduce child undernourishment by recruiting a large number of volunteers to travel the countryside teaching about health and nutrition.“They really did very active promotion of diversity in the diet and good eating habits. So they were providing more food to people, but also educating people on how to use them, and also educating people on how to feed their young children.”Ruel says countries may take different approaches to reducing child undernutrition. But she saysnations will not make progress fighting hunger and poverty until they begin to focus on those critical first thousand days.20. What is the experts’ conclusion regarding children’s undernourishment in their earliest days of life?21. What does IFPRI’s Marie Ruel say about well-fed children in their adult life?22. What did Thailand do to reduce child undernourishment in the 1980s?Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.I’d like to look at a vital aspect of e-commerce, and that is the nature of the product or service. There are certain products and services that are very suitable for selling online, and others that simply don’t work.Suitable products generally have a high value-to-weight ratio. Items such as CDs and DVDs are obvious examples. Books, although heavier and so more expensive to post, still have a high enough value-to-weight ratio, as the success of Amazon, which started off selling only books, shows. Laptop computers are another good product for selling online.Digital products, such as software, films and music, can be sold in a purely virtual environment. The goods are paid for by online transactions, and then downloaded onto the buyer’s computer. There are no postage or delivery costs, so prices can be kept low.Many successful virtual companies provide digital services, such as financial transactions, in the case of Paypal, or means of communication, as Skype does. The key to success here is providing an easy-to-use, reliable service. Do this and you can easily become the market leader, as Skype has proved.Products which are potentially embarrassing to buy also do well in the virtual environment. Some of the most profitable e-commerce companies are those selling sex-related products or services. For a similar reason, online gambling is highly popular.Products which are usually considered unsuitable for selling online include those that have a taste or smell component. Food, especially fresh food, falls into this category, along with perfume. Clothes and other items that need to be tried on such as diamond rings and gold necklaces are generally not suited to virtual retailing, and, of course, items with a low value-to-weight ratio. There are exceptions, though. Online grocery shopping has really taken off, with most major supermarkets offering the service. The inconvenience of not being able to see the food you are buying is outweighed by the time saved and convenience of having the goods delivered. Typical users of online supermarkets include the elderly, people who work long hours and those without their own transport.23 What is important to the success of an online store?24. What products are unsuitable for selling online?25. Who are more likely to buy groceries online?Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.23.

快速阅读部分变成段落信息匹配题，其中四级考试需要看10个左右的段落，然后匹配10个信息点;六级则是15个段落，匹配10个信息点。
完形填空消失，取而代之的是经过加长版本的'短句翻译，即将一篇完整的小文章，中文翻成英文。
考试时间从过去的120分钟延长到了130分钟。
考试调整以后，考生如何备考?新东方一名英语老师认为，对于听力部分来说，考生首先单词要背得熟悉，不但要搞清楚它的发音，更要弄清具体用法。
平时要注意积累单词拼写知识，在最后答题时才会比较顺手。
阅读题型的变革，对于学生的要求比较高，尤其是四、六级考生学生，要注意提高阅读能力，比如读文章的时候要养成用英语直接阅读的习惯，这样才能保证阅读速度又快又准。
短句翻译关键要了解语法，然后可以根据拆分和组合的法则进行翻译。
另悉，新的大学四、六级考试办法将从今年12月21日执行。

全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会
2013年8月14日。
CET-6六级具体变化如下：1. 完型填空部分彻底取消；这个我们从初中英语考试就熟悉的题型，化为乌有咯~2. 听写复合式听写考察10个单词或短语的填空，不再考察句子，难度系数略微下降；3. 阅读取消快速阅读，改为段落信息匹配题；按照四六级官方公布的样卷，规定考生为15个给定段落，选择一个信息匹配的表述；15个段落，相应10个匹配表述，也就是说，有的段落是干扰信息，你是选不出匹配信息地，需要你进行选择性排除，有别于四级。
此外，六级阅读中，尚有一个变化，值得关注！在四级的阅读中，原先就又“选词填空”这个题目：一篇阅读中挖出10个空，让你从15个给定单词中，选择10个填进去。
六级原先没有这个题目，六级考的是“简答题”：一篇阅读的后面，有5个简答题，规定你根据原文信息，写出这5个题目的答案。
如今，六级阅读中的“简答题”已经取消，取而代之的“选词填空”。
4. 翻译之前5%分数的5个中译英的短句翻译，改为了180-200字的段落中译英翻译；题材，涉及到中国地历史、文化、经济和社会发展；比如，新六级的样卷，涉及的是春节的内容：新六级翻译样卷：中国新年是中国最重要的传统节日,在中国也被称为春节。
新年的庆祝活动从除夕开始一直延续到元宵节(the Lantern Festival),即从农历(lunar calendar)最后一个月的最后一天至新年第一个月的第十五天。
各地欢度春节的习俗和传统有很大差异,但通常每个家庭都会在除夕夜团聚,一起吃年夜饭。
为驱厄运、迎好运,家家户户都会进行大扫除。
人们还会在门上粘贴红色的对联(couplets),对联的主题为健康、发财和好运。
其他的活动尚有放鞭炮、发红包和探亲访友等。
新六级翻译样卷答案：Chinese New Year is the most important traditional Chinese holiday. In China, itis also known as the Spring Festival.

Perhaps you’ve been 6 your former workplace. Perhaps you are in the 7 of starting a business. Perhaps you are staying home to care for a child you’ve recently 8 . You decide to apply for a variety of insurances that will help you manage the risks 9 in life (health, life, disability). A few weeks after filling out your applications, you receive a reply from the insurance company that goes something like, “Dear So-and-so, upon review of your application we are sorry to report that we can’t insure you at this time.”A rejection? What’s that all about? You call them up and find that they have rejected your application for certain insurances because of your past history of mental illness.The chain of events that has 30 your insurance rejection went something like this. All those years ago when you were in therapy, your 3 was sent to the insurance company that was paying for your therapy. They, in turn, 3 to an institution known as MIB (short for “Medical Information Bureau”, not “Men In Black”). MIB is a 33 data warehouse (sponsored by major insurance carriers). MIB’s purpose is to record, retain and share personal medical information collected about you by an insurance company. As part of the standard process of reviewing your application for insurance coverage, the insurance company called up MIB and took a look at your record. Noting the 34 illness diagnosis there, they decided that they didn’t offer you insurancebecause of your previous diagnosis. The reasoning would be something like,长喜英语长喜英语长喜英语“This person may very well get 35 again in the future, so that this person may very well require treatment or become disabled. We’d have to pay for that treatment.

In a study of more than ,000 adults 70 to 89 years old, researchers found that men were .5 times more likely to 7 mild cognitive decline than their female counterparts.Researchers tested 8 men and women in Olmstead County, Minn., for 9 of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition in which people 30 memory or thinking beyond the decline seen because of 3 aging.

Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all 6 to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no 7 to save them simply because they are in 8 . But many thriving institutions that should continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they 9 a financial difficulty, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues significantly. Raising tuition doesn’t bring in more revenue, for each time tuition goes up, the 30 goes down, or the amount that must be 3 student aid goes up. Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of bad 3 but because of the nature of the enterprise. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about. Efforts to save them, and 33 to keep them private, are a national necessity. There is no basis for arguing that private schools 34 be better than public schools. There are abundant examples to the contrary. Any person can name state universities and colleges that rank as the most excellent in the nation and the world. It is now 35 that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education.短文听写——单词及词组听写（第4篇）Part II Listening ComprehensionSection CDirections:In this section, you will hear a passage three times.

Last November, Dr. Debra Parsons 8 up to 0 kids a day for the H N flu. She says the symptoms are like that of any flu. “H N symptoms generally include 9 body aches, chills, fever, wheezing, shortness of breath,” said Dr. Parsons. A new U.S. study led by Dr. Edward Belongia compares the 30 of the pandemic flu to the seasonal flu. “We really saw very few differences when we compared the symptoms of illness and 3 complications in people that had the pandemic H N 3 versus those who had seasonal strains of influenza A,” noted Dr. Belongia. Doctors at the Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin had studied seasonal flu in the town for several years. When the H1N1 pandemic hit, the Centers for Disease Control asked them to begin monitoring it. The study 33 patients in Marshfield, Wisconsin. The doctors found that H N did not cause more hospitalizations or serious complications than seasonal flu. Unlike the seasonal flu, those most 34 H N , a new virus, were children and young adults. Dr. Belongia says it’s 35 . “It’s a combination of a new virus and populations that have very little pre-existing immunity to the virus, particularly children and young adults, so their immune systems have not seen this virus and have not seen a similar virus in the past,” added Dr. Belongia.短文听写——单词及词组听写（第5篇）Part II Listening Comprehension Section C Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times.

True, 6 drinking is no longer as fashionable as it once was. But alcoholism’s 7 remains very high: Some 8 million Americans abuse alcohol, and more than 00,000 die prematurely each year from 8 causes. And alcoholism costs the nation $86 billion a year.Business picks up most of the tab. Virtually every company has workers with a drinking problem, often veteran employees in executive or other 9 positions.When their alcoholism goes 30 , it costs a bundle. Problem drinkers don’t pull长喜英语长喜英语长喜英语their weight in the office, are often 3 late or absent, and file $4,600 more in health claims a year than other employees. Their families’ doctor bills are much higher, too. Meanwhile, the company pays full salary and 3 an employee who is fully functional only some of the time.In the eighties, many corporations developed generous programs to help alcoholic employees recover, often with gratifying results. But now the progress against Corporate America’s biggest drug problem is being threatened. Although few companies are 33 alcohol treatment benefits entirely, many are hiring outside vendors to manage care. In many cases, alcoholics are denied the treatment they need because it’s too expensive.This is bad business. Limiting treatment may seem to save money. But the one-time expense of helping an alcoholic recover is 34 the long-term potential cost. Business is right to 35 the cost of alcoholism treatment, but the key concern should be effectiveness.短文听写——单词及词组听写（第6篇）Part II Listening ComprehensionSection CDirections:In this section, you will hear a passage three times.
