He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon fly passedby. ‘You’re a very fine frog,’ she sang, ‘but why don’t you live in a bigger pond? Come to my pond. You’ll find a lot of frogs there. You’ll meet some fine fish, and you’ll see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!’‘Perhaps it is rather dull here,’ thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon fly.But he didn’t like the big, deep pond. It was full of s trange plants. The water snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn’t like him, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy.He sat on a water lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, ‘I don’t like it here. I think I’ll go home tomorrow.’But a hungry heron flew down and swallowed him up for supper. 篇三：英语中级听力答案Lesson 12Section oneII. Exercises:A: 1. T 2. F 3. F 4. T 5. F 6. F 7.

In order to obtain alicence to drive a taxi in London, candidates have to pass a detailed examination. They have to learn not only the streets, landmarks and hotels, but also the quickest way to get there. This is called “The Knowledge” by London Cab drivers and it can take years of study and practice to get ‘The Knowledge’. Candidates are examined not only onthe quickest routes but also on the quickest routes at different times of the day. People who want to pass the examination spend much of their free time driving or even cycling around London, studying maps and learningthe huge street directory by heart.Passage 2: The UndergroundTravelling on the London underground (the ‘tube’) presents few difficulties for visitors because of the clear colour- coded maps. It is always useful to have plenty of spare change with you because there are often long queues at the larger stations. If you have enough change you can buy your ticket from a machine.

He knew every plant and stone in it, and he could swim across it easily. He was the biggest creature in the pond, so he was very important. When he croaked, the water-snails listened politely. And the water-beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon-fly passed by. ‘You’re a very fine frog,’ she sang, ‘but why don’t you live in a bigger pondCome to my pond. You’ll find a lot of frogs there. You’ll meet some fine fish, and you’ 11 see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water-lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!’‘Perhaps it is rather dull here,’ thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon-fly.But he didn’t like the big, dee p pond. It was full of strange plants. The water-snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn’t like him, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy.He sat on a water-lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, ‘I don’t like it here. I think I’ll go home tomorrow.’But a hungry heron flew down and swallowed him up for supper.Lesson 3Section ITask 1: I Don’t See It That WayA.Conversation 1:1.Choose the best answer for each of the following statements.(1) — (2): ba2.Give brief answers to the following questions.(1)About 6 months ago.(2)It is defective and has ruined 4 of the customer’s favoritecassettes.(3)6 months.(4)10 days ago.3.Blank-filling.(1)bend the rule, make an exception for, make an exception for(2)adding insult to injury, make good on(3)brought it in, hold me to, onB.Conversation 2:1.Multiple choice.

We know that if we sleep well, we feel rested. If we don’t sleep enough, we often feel tired and irritable. It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest and emotional and psychological rest: We need to rest our bodies and our minds. Both are important in order for us to be healthy. Each night we alternate betweentwo kinds of sleep: active sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that’s needed and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming occurs.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. The cycle is repeated: the brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. This cycle is repeated several times throughout the night~. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total d one and half hours on the average.Lesson 4Section ITask 1: Weather ForecastA.Multiple Choice. 1 — 2: acB.Fill in the following chart.Task 2: The 5 O’clock NewsA.Fill in the following chart.B.Give brief answers to the following questions based on the news report.1.It was closed down by government authorities.2.Testing confirmed that the town had been poisoned be the dumping oftoxic chemicals in town dumps.3.3 weeks ago.4.200.5.Headaches, stomachaches, faintness and dizziness.6.Toxic wastes had leaked into the ground and contaminated the watersupply.7.All the residents should leave the area, until the chemical companyresponsible for the toxic waste can determine whether the town canbe cleaned up and made safe again.C.True of False Questions. 1—6: FTTFFTD.Fill in the following blanks (based on the news report).Teams Playing Result(1) Mexico — France7 to 6(2) Canada — Argentina 3 to 3(3) Italy — Haiti2 to 1(with 30 minutes leftto go)Section IITask 1: What Do You Like for Entertainment?A.Blank-filling.Reporter: Deborah TylerInterviewee: Students of the Brooklyn Academy of Dramatic ArtsMajor: Benny Gross —— pianoKimberley Martins —— modern danceB.Fill in the following chart about how often Benny and Kimberley go tothe eight forms of artistic entertainment.C.Rearrange the forms of artistic entertainment that Benny and Kimberleylike, beginning with the form that each one likes best.Benny: (3)—(1)—(4)—(6)—(2)—(8)Kimberley: (2)—(4)—(1)—(7)—(3)—(8)Task 2: Are You a Heavy Smoker?A.True or False Questions. 1—6: TFTTFTB.Multiple Choice. 1—6: cbcbacC.Blank-filling.Name: Doris BradleySex: femaleAge: 32Amount: 3 packets of 20 a weekFirst experience:Time: at the age of 17Place: at a partyOffered by: boyfriend, not husbandFeeling; awfully grown-upLater: started smoking 2 or 3 a day and gradually increased.Experience of giving up smoking: twice1.

It hasn’t changed in thirty years. The pupils were sitting in the same desks and reading the same books. When are schools going to move into the modern worldBooks belong to the past. In our homes radio and television bring us knowledge of the world. We can see and hear the truth for ourselves. If we want entertainment most of us prefer a modern film to a classical novel. In the business world computers store information, so that we no longer need encyclopaedias and dictionaries. But in the schools teachers and pupils still use books. There should be a radio and television set in every classroom, and a library of tapes and records in every school. The children of today will rarely open a book when they leave school. The children of tomorrow won’t need to read and Write at all.M. P.

Task 2: DictationThe School Holidays Are Too LongToday the children of this country have at last returned to work.After two months’ holiday pupils have started a new term. How manyadults get such long holidaysTwo to four weeks in the summer and public holidays--that’s all the working man gets. As for the average woman, she’s lucky to get a holiday at all. Children don’t need such long holidays. In term-time they start work later and finish earlier than anyone else.In the holidays most of them get bored, and some get into trouble. What a waste! If their overworked parents were given more free time instead, everyone would be happier.This isn’t just a national problem either--it’s worldwide. Dates may be different from country to country, but th e pattern’s the same.

It’s called sign language. The speaker of sign language uses hand gestures in order to communicate.Basic sign language has been used for a long, long time, but signlanguage wasn’t really developed until about 250 years ago. In themiddle of the 1700s a Frenchman named Epée developed sign language. Epée was able to speak and hear, but he worked during most of his life as a teacher of deaf people in France. Epée developed a large number of vocabulary words for sign language. Epée taught these words to his deaf students. Epée’s system used mostly picture :image signs. We call them picture image signs because the signs create a picture. For example, the sign for sleep is to put both hands together, and then to place the hands flat against the right side of your face, and then to lower your head slightly to the right. This action was meant to show the position of sleep. So we call it a picture image sign.Lesson 7Section ITask 1: Learning a Foreign LanguageA.Multiple Choice. 1—4: bcaaB.True or False Questions. 1—4: FTTFC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Albert Humphries.2.Balham, London.3.4 years.4.He has been going to an evening class and has watched quite a lotof the BBC television programmes.5.They use a different book in the class.6.They make the same mistakes as he does.7.It means being able to put together the right groups of words andto say them in a reasonably accurate way.Task 2: In the LibraryA.Multiple Choice. 1—6: bbcacaB.True or False Questions. 1—6: TTFTFTC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Round the corner.2.A 20p a day fine for each book.3.Tahiti.4.No.D.Blank-filling.1.5 pounds, you damage them, entitles you, 2 records at a time,everything available, be much more popular than.2.telephone to renew the books.3.we get back, worth all the bother, some paperbacks in the airport,I’ve been such a nuisance.Section IITask 1: Lessoned World CollegesA.Give brief answers to the following questions.1．On the phone.2．Some information about the college.3．Robert Creighton.4．Julian’s friend in Spain.5．English.6．No. There are scholarships for all colleges, but parents will have to pay too.7．Yes.

And the water-beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon-fly passed by. ‘You’re a very fine frog,’ she sang, ‘but why don’t you live in a bigger pond? Come to my pond. You’ll find a lot of frogs there. You’ll meet some fine fish, and you’ 11 see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water-lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!’‘Perhaps it is rather dull here,’ thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon-fly.But he didn’t like the big, d eep pond. It was full of strange plants. The water-snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn’t like him, and he wasthe smallest frog there.

Most people rarely think about how and why they sleep, however. We know that if we sleep well, we feel rested. If we don’t sleep enough, we often feel tired and irritable. It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest and emotional and psychological rest: We need to rest our bodies and ourminds. Both are important in order for us to be healthy. Each night we alternate between two kinds of sleep: active sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that’s needed and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming occurs.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. The cycle is repeated: the brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. This cycle is repeated several times throughout the night~. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total d one and half hours on the average.Lesson 4Section ITask 1: Weather ForecastA.Multiple Choice. 1 — 2: acB.Fill in the following chart.Task 2: The 5 O’clock NewsA.Fill in the following chart.B.Give brief answers to the following questions based on the news report.1.It was closed down by government authorities.2.Testing confirmed that the town had been poisoned be the dumping of toxic chemicalsin town dumps.3. 3 weeks ago.4.200.5.Headaches, stomachaches, faintness and dizziness.6.Toxic wastes had leaked into the ground and contaminated the water supply.7.All the residents should leave the area, until the chemical company responsiblefor the toxic waste can determine whether the town can be cleaned up and made safe again.C.True of False Questions. 1—6: FTTFFTD.Fill in the following blanks (based on the news report).Teams Playing Result(1) Mexico — France 7 to 6(2) Canada — Argentina 3 to 3(3) Italy — Haiti2 to 1(with 30 minutes left to go)Section IITask 1: What Do You Like for Entertainment?A.Blank-filling.Reporter: Deborah TylerInterviewee: Students of the Brooklyn Academy of Dramatic ArtsMajor: Benny Gross —— pianoKimberley Martins —— modern danceB.Fill in the following chart about how often Benny and Kimberley go to the eight formsof artistic entertainment.C.Rearrange the forms of artistic entertainment that Benny and Kimberley like,beginning with the form that each one likes best.Benny: (3)—(1)—(4)—(6)—(2)—(8)Kimberley: (2)—(4)—(1)—(7)—(3)—(8)Task 2: Are You a Heavy Smoker?A.True or False Questions. 1—6: TFTTFTB.Multiple Choice. 1—6: cbcbacC.Blank-filling.Name: Doris BradleySex: femaleAge: 32Amount: 3 packets of 20 a weekFirst experience:Time: at the age of 17Place: at a partyOffered by: boyfriend, not husbandFeeling; awfully grown-upLater: started smoking 2 or 3 a day and gradually increased.Experience of giving up smoking: twice1.

Task 2: DictationBooks Belong to the PastSir,I visited my old school yesterday. It hasn’t changed in thirty years. The pupils were sitting in the same desks and reading the same books. When are schools going to move into the modern world? Books belong to the past. In our homes radio and television bring us knowledge of the world. We can see and hear the truth for ourselves. If we want entertainment most of us prefer a modern film to a classical novel. In the business world computers store information, so that we no longer need encyclopaedias and dictionaries. But in the schools teachers and pupils still use books. There should be a radio and television set in every classroom, and a library of tapes and records in every school. The children of today will rarely open a book when they leave school. The children of tomorrow won’t need to read and Write at all.M. P.

After two months’ holiday pupils have started a new term. How many adults get such long holidays? Two to four weeks in the summer and public holidays--that’s all the working man gets. As for the average woman, she’s lucky to get a holiday at all. Children don’t need such long holidays. In term-time they start work later and finish earlier than anyone else.In the holidays most of them get bored, and some get into trouble. What a waste! If their overworked parents were given more free time instead, everyone would be happier.This isn’t just a national problem either--it’s worldwide.Dates may be different from country to country, b ut the pattern’s the same. Why should children do half as much work and get twice as much holiday as their parents?Lesson 6Section ITask 1: In the Path of the EarthquakeA. True or False Questions. 1—6: FTFTFFB.

It’s called sign language. The speaker of sign language uses hand gestures in order to communicate. Basic sign language has been used for a long, long time, but sign language wasn’t really developed until about 250 years ago. In the middle of the 1700s a Frenchman named Epée developed sign language. Epée was able to speak and hear, but he worked during most of h is life as a teacher of deaf people in France. Epée developed a large number of vocabulary words for sign language. Epée taught these words to his deaf students. Epée’s system used mostly picture :image signs. We call them picture image signs because the signs create a picture. For example, the sign for sleep is to put both hands together, and then to place the hands flat against the right side of your face, and then to lower your head slightly to the right. This action was meant to show the position of sleep. So we call it a picture image sign.Lesson 7Section ITask 1: Learning a Foreign LanguageA.Multiple Choice. 1—4: bcaaB.True or False Questions. 1—4: FTTFC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Albert Humphries.2.Balham, London.3. 4 years.4.He has been going to an evening class and has watched quite a lot of the BBCtelevision programmes.5.They use a different book in the class.6.They make the same mistakes as he does.7.It means being able to put together the right groups of words and to say themin a reasonably accurate way.Task 2: In the LibraryA.Multiple Choice. 1—6: bbcacaB.True or False Questions. 1—6: TTFTFTC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Round the corner.2.
