While listening, pay special attention to the interesting things they can see or do on the streets in both countries. Then complete the chart by filling in the missing information.B2 Now listen to the dialogue again and answer the following questions with key words.1. What unusual things are sold in the street markets of Brazil2. How is one's fortune told in Brazil_______________________________________________________________3. What is one of the specialties in Brazil_____________________________________________________________4. What kinds of performers can one see on the streets of Paris5. Why do the art students paint portraits on the streets of Paris_______________________________________________________________TapescriptA:Well, I had quite a amusing time in Greece on one holiday because I confused the words for “Good morning,”which is “Kalimera,” and “squid,” which is “Kalamari.” So for several days I was going around smiling broadly at people, saying “squid” to them, and I couldn’t understand why they looked at me as if I was totally crazy until someone pointed it out.I was in France on holiday, staying in a friend’s cottage and one day we decided to go for a trip onthe river. So we went along to a place on the river where you could hire canoes. And a friend, who prided himself on being rather good at speaking French, went in to hire the canoes. We decided we need three, so he asked for “tr ois canneurs” which he thought was the French for “three canoes.” We got our canoes; we spent the afternoon on the river; we came back. And Stephen went in to reture the canoes and collect the deposit he’d paid on them. And as he walked in the door, they said “Ah, hello Mr.Troiscanneurs…”B:F---- friend C----CathyF: Hi, Cathy! Welcome back! How was your trip to BrazilC: Oh, I loved every minute of it! Brazil is so different from any place I’ve ever been to, and there’s so much to see there.F: Yeah Well, how’s it differentC: Well, you can find all sorts of street vendors in the cities. I went to some street markets where they sold really unusual things, like special powders that attract men… or objects to cure snake bites.F: Wow!C: And in one city I went to, I got my fortune told on the street.F: Oh, yeah!C: Yeah! The fortune-teller use shells to tell your fortune. They throw the shells on a cloth, and the way they land shells about your fortune.F: Huh! I’ve never heard of that before.C: Mmm, but my favourite street activity was eating! In Bahia, you can buy these round cakes made of bean flour and filled with hot spices. They’re fried and they’re delicious! [Hmm.] The y’re a specialty there. F: Well, that sounds great. You know, I remember that when I went to France two years ago, I saw some pretty unusual things on the city streets, too.C: Really Like whatF: Well, in Paris, you could watch all kinds of street performers. There were folk singers with guitars, classical musicians… [Oh, wow!] Sometimes you could even see actors performing in plays.C: That sounds like a lot of fun!F: Oh, it is. You really see all sorts of things on the streets of Paris. In fact, you can even have your portrait painted right on the street. [Wow!] Yeah, the art students do them practice drawing and painting. C: Did you have your portrait done thereF: Yeah, I did. In fact, I had it done twice.Part Ⅲ Life here and thereKey words: busy summer winter mountainous crowdedVocabulary: humid [`hju:mɪd] 潮湿的，湿热的 compact [kəm`pækt] 压紧 Osaka 冲绳AJohn is British but has worked in Japan. Etsuko is Japanese from Osaka but she is studying in Britain. In the following passage you are going to hear, they are comparing life as they see it in the two countries. But before listening to it, think of the two countries and try to answer the following pre-listening questions.1. Do you know something about the geographical and climatic conditions in Japan and Britain2. Guess the way the two speakers may compare the life as they see in Japan and Britain.BNow listen to the passage and make notes about the features they mention and the comparisons they make between the two fill in the gaps in the chart below with key words.TapescriptJ---- John E ----EtsukoJ: I found that living in Japan, people were busier. They seem to work the whole day.E: Yes, that’s right. We work from Monday through Saturday, even in summer. You know, summer in Japan is just horrible. It’s very, very humid and hot, and you need to take showers three times a day.J: So you find it cooler in EnglandE: Yes, that’s right.J: Where I was living in Japan, in the north, it was much colder than England, especially in winter---- minus thirty degrees centigrade. Does the winter in Osaka last longer than the winter in EnglandE: No, I don’t think so. December, January, February, March…J: Yes. It’s a little bit shorter if anything.E: ever since I came here, I noticed that the countryside here in England is really beautiful.J: It’s much flatter than in Japan.E: Yes, Japan is a mountainous country and our cities are full of people. There are lots of people in a limited flat area…J: Yes. I found Japan much more mountains are much higher and much more rocky. I found it more beautiful than Britain, I think.E: Yes, if you like mountains!J: And so therefore the towns and villages tend to be more crowded.E: Yes, that’s right.J: Yes. So because the cities are more crowded, the house tend to be smaller, don’t theyE: Yes, they are very compact, and we don’t have a lot of space. In big cities you have a lot of taller buildings now.J: Is this a problem because there are more earthquakes in JapanE: Yes, that’s right, and … er …Part Ⅳ Short talks on listening skillsListen to the short talk entitled “Be Careful with Numbers.” Some important words are taken away from the written passage. Supply the missing words.Be Careful with NumbersQuick and accurate response to numbers is very important in____________. Telephone numbers, addresses, prices, temperatures, time and dates are all closely linked with the use of numbers. Besides, numbers also play a very important part in________________ such as scientific stories, statistics update, and reports about ongoing events of various kinds.Although identification of numbers _________ is usually easy, number identification through ________proves to be a big problem for many people. In actual listening, we are often required to get the numbers immediately after we hear them. And_________ to get a correct number, sometimes a mere mistake in______, can seriously affect the understanding of the whole story and therefore cause severe differences between million and billion,"-teen's" and "-ty's" are so great that no one can simply afford to_______ them.Numbers are sometimes ________in different ways. For example," seventeen point five million "or "seventeen million five hundred thousand" can also be read as" seventeen and one half million." ________________in numbers can help us get familiar with these different yet still_______ ways of number presentations.For easy reading and writing, numbers of more than four digits are often separated by _______ into groups of three digits each. For example,1,234,567 is one million, two hundred and thirty-four thousand, and five hundred and sixty-seven.
