And you'll let me pay to have your jacket cleaned, won't you?--That's all right. It could happen to anyone.

He is been calling at people's homes, saying he is check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea, and while they out of the room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever, and makes offwith it.M: But you know Jean, it's partly their own fault. They should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them.W: It's all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas. And you automaticallythink they are ok. Especially they flashed a card to you.M: does this man have an ID then?W: Yes, that’s just it. It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper, the police are warning people especially pensioners. Not to admit anyone unless theyhave an appointment. It's a bit sad. One old lady told them, she's just been to the post office to draw her pension, when he called, she said he must followed her home. He stole the whole lot. M: but, what does he look like. Surely they must have a description.W: oh, yes. They have. Let’s see, in his 30s, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent. Sounds a bit like you actually.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard19. What does the woman want the man to read in the newspaper?20. How did the man mentioned in the newspaper try to win further trust from the victims?21. What is the warning from the police?22. what does the woman speaker tell us about the old lady?Conversation twoM: Miss Jones, could you tell me more about your first job with hotel marketing concepts.W: yes, certainly.

They were all luxury hotels in the leisure sector all of very high standard.M: Which markets were you responsible for?W: For Europe and Japan.M: I see from your resumethat you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan?W: Yes, I have. I spent a month in Japan in 2023. I met all the key people in the tourist industry,the big tour operators, and the tourist organizations. As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage.M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan, in your present job?W: yes, I’ve had a lot. Cruises have become very popular with the Japanese both for holidays and for business conferences. In fact, the market for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has increased a lot recently.M: really? I’m interested to hear more about that. But first tell me have ever traveled on a l uxury train, the Orienting Expressfor example.W: no I haven’t. But I’ve traveled on the Gracial express to Switzerland, and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That’s why I am very interested in this job. Questions 23 to 25 five are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.23. What did the woman do in her first job?24. What gave the woman an advantage during her business trip in Japan?25. Why is the woman applying for the new job?Section BPassage OneTime! I think a lot about time. And not just because it’s the name of the news organizationI work for. Like most working people, I find time or the lack of it ,a never ending frustrationand an unwinnable battle. My everyday is a race against the clock that I never, ever seem to win. This ishardly a lonesome complaint. According to the families and work institutes national study of the changing workforce, fifty-five percent of employees say they don’t have enough time for themselves, sixty-three percent don’t have enough time for their spousesor partners, and sixty-seven percent don’t have enough time for their children. It’s also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestorsreturned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts and complained about how little time they had to pay in battle scenes on their cave wars. The difference is that the boss of animal-hunting and the head of nut-gathering probably told them to shut up or no survivalfor you. Today’s workers are still demanding control over their time. The difference is today’s bosses are listening. I’ve been reading a report issued today called ‘When Work Works’ produced jointly by three organizations. They set out to find and award the employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.Questions 26~28 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.26. What is the speaker complaining about?27. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?28. Why does the speaker suggest all bosses read the report by the three organizations?Passage Two"Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get, the more you want to give." Penelope Leach once said. What she said proves to be true of my blooded family. I was born in 1931. As the youngest of six children, I learned to sharemy parents' love. Raising sixchildren during the difficult times of the Great Depression took its toll on my parents' relationship and resulted in their divorcewhen I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce. Several years later a wonderful woman came into his life, and they were married. She had two sons, one of them still at home. Under her influence, we became a “blended family” and a good relationship developed between the two families. She alwaystreated us as if we were her own children.It was because of our other mother -- Daddy's second wife -- that he became closer to his own children. They shared over twenty-five years together before our father passed away. At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother -- Daddy's first wife -- attending his funeral.I will never forget the unconditionallove shown by my stepmother when I asked her if she would object to mother attending Daddy's funeral. Without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied.“Of course not, Honey-she's the mother of my children.”Questions 29~31 are based on the passag e you’ve just heard.29. According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents' divorce?30. What brought the father closer to her own children?31. What message does the speaker want to convey in this talk?Passage ThreeIn February last year, my wife lost her job. Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died of heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close thebusiness because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the WANT ads each day.Then one morning, as I was hanging out the “going out of business” sign at the greenhouse, the door opened, and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company had just moved into the new office park on the edge of town. She was looking for pots and plants to place in the receptionareas in the offices. “I don’t know anything about plants,” she said, “I’m sure in a few weeks they’ll all be dead.”While I was helping her select her purchases, my mind was raising. Perhaps as many as a dozen firms have recently opened offices in the new office park, and there were several hundred more acreswith construction underway. That afternoon, I drove out to the office park. By 6 o’clock that evening, I had signed contracts with seven companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintainthem. Within a week, I had worked out an agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owner’s family. Business is now increasing rapidly, and one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.Questions 32~35 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.32. What do we learn about the greenhouse?33. What was the speaker doing when the customer walked in on morning?34. What did the speaker think of when serving the office manager?35. What was the speaker’s hope for the future?Section CWe are now witnessing the emergence of the advance economy based on information and knowledge: physical labor, raw materials and capital are no longer the key ingredientsin the creational wealt h. Now the vital raw material in our economy is knowledge. Tomorrow’s wealth depends on the development and exchange of knowledge. And individuals entering the workforce offer the knowledge not their muscles. Knowledge workers get paid for their education and their ability to learn. Knowledge workers engagein mind work,they deal with symbols,words,figures and data. What does all this mean for you? As a future knowledge worker,you can expect to be generating,processing as well as exchaning information. Currently, three out of four jobs involve mind work,and that number will increase sharply in the future. Management and employees alike will be making decisions in such areas as product development, quality control and customer satisfaction. In the new world of work, you can look forward to being in constant training to acquire new skills that will help you keep up with improve technologies and procedures.You can also expect to be taking greater control of your career. Gone out of the nine-to-five jobs,lifelong securtiy, predictable promotions and even the conventionalwork place as you are familiar with. Don't expect the companies will provide you with a clearly defined work path. And don't wait for someone to empoweryou, you have to empower yourself.。

英语四级听力材料1. Social MediaIn today's fast-paced society, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. With the development of technology, people can now easily connect with each other through platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.One of the advantages of social media is that it allows us to keep in touch with friends and family who are far away. We can share photos, videos, and updates on our lives, and stay connected even if we are thousands of miles apart.Another advantage of social media is that it provides a platform for us to express our thoughts and opinions. We can post our thoughts on current events, share our views on different topics, and engage in discussions with others. Social media has become a powerful tool that gives a voice to everyone, no matter their background or status.However, social media also has its disadvantages. One of the main drawbacks is that it can be addictive. Many people spend hours on social media, scrolling through their news feeds and checking notifications. This addiction to social media can have negative effects on our mental health and productivity.Moreover, social media can also be a breeding ground for cyberbullying and harassment. Anyone can hide behind a screen and say hurtful things to others, leading to emotional distress and even suicide in extreme cases. It is important for social mediaplatforms to have measures in place to protect users from such harmful activities.In conclusion, social media has both advantages and disadvantages. While it allows us to connect with others and express ourselves, it can also be addictive and a source of negativity. It is up to us to use social media responsibly and ensure that it enhances our lives rather than hinders them.2. Global WarmingGlobal warming is a phenomenon that has attracted much attention in recent years. It refers to the increase in the Earth's average temperature due to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.One of the main causes of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. When these fuels are burned, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing the Earth's temperature to rise.The consequences of global warming are far-reaching and severe. Rising temperatures lead to the melting of glaciers and ice caps, causing sea levels to rise. This poses a threat to coastal communities and low-lying areas, leading to flooding and the loss of habitat for many species.Global warming also disrupts ecosystems and threatens biodiversity. Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns canlead to the extinction of certain species and the spread of invasive species. This can have a ripple effect on the food chain and ultimately impact human survival.In addition, global warming can result in extreme weather events such as heatwaves, hurricanes, and droughts. These events can cause loss of life and widespread damage to infrastructure and crops, leading to economic losses and social unrest.To combat global warming, it is important for countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This can be achieved through the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, as well as improving energy efficiency in industries and households. In conclusion, global warming is a serious issue that requires immediate action. It not only threatens the environment and biodiversity, but also has significant social and economic implications. It is crucial for individuals, governments, and businesses to work together to mitigate the effects of global warming and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.。

2024年6月大学英语四级考试听力原文（第1套）News Report OneSix people had to move away from their home to another place after a fire broke out in a building on Main Street Saturday, officials said.Firefighters responded to the three-story building shortly after 1 p.m. for a reported structure fire, according to Norwalk Deputy Fire Chief Adam Markowitz.Markowitz said crews encountered heavy smoke coming from the second floor when they arrived.A team of about 25 firefighters then spent about 25 minutes extinguishing the flames.Officials described the structure as a mixed-use building that features commercial businesses on the first floor and residential on the second and third floors.Town records list four apartments in the building.Due to smoke and heat damage, the four apartments were declared uninhabitable, and the six residents had to move to another place, officials said.No injuries were reported in connection with the fire.The Norwalk Fire Marshal is investigating the cause and origin of the fire.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 1. Why did the six residents have to find another place to stay?Question 2. What does the news report say the Norwalk Fire Marshal is doing?News Report TwoA new study has cast doubt on historic research suggesting that the season or month of someone's birth is associated with an increased risk of certain mental health conditions.The study looks at symptoms of anxiety and depression among more than 70,000 older adults in Europe.A number of past studies have found the link between season of birth and mental health diagnoses.Researchers have suggested that such links could arise from various things.These include nutrient intake, sun exposure, climate, and disease exposure varying across the course of the year.However, evidence has been mixed.More recent studies have suggested that factors such as social class or economic background have more to do with these diagnoses than month of birth.Overall, the new study found no significant relationship between participants' month of birth and symptoms of depression or anxiety.There was some variability in some countries.In Poland, depressive symptoms fluctuated a little depending on birth month.In the Czech Republic, the same was true of anxiety symptoms.But on the whole, there was no systematic pattern.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 3. What have a number of past studies found about season of birth?Question 4. What did the new study find about the relationship between participants' month of birth and symptoms of depression?New Report ThreeGenetic researchers in China have made a clone of a star police dog.The clone was born in a laboratory in Beijing in December.Tests show that the clone and her mother are almost identical genetically.The mother dog helped solve multiple murders and many other crimes.The clone has already performed better than traditionally bred dogs on several tests.If the clone continues to perform as well as expected, it could mean a huge reduction in the training time for police dogs, which usually takes about five years.The ultimate goal of scientists is to produce clones of talented police dogs that can be trained in months instead of years.However, this goal is not yet possible due to the current costs of the technology.This is not the first time a clone has been made of a star police dog.In South Korea, six clones began working with the police in 2008.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 5. What do the researchers' tests show about the cloned dog?Question 6. What is the scientists' purpose in cloning police dogs?Question 7. Why does the news report say the scientists' goal is not yet possible?Conversation OneTom, did you see the article online about the new TV series based on the book The Three Body Problem?A colleague mentioned the book, but I've been so busy writing my thesis that 1 haven't been able to read for pleasure in months.Well, sounds like if you're going to read anything for fun, this is the book.It's written by a Chinese science fiction writer.I can't remember his name, but he's written three books in all, and The Three Body Problem is the first in the series.I don't want to say too much and spoil it for you, but it's definitely got some amazing technological and sociological concepts in it.It does sound like it would suit my taste, but if they are making a TV series based on it now, I don't know if I should read the book or watch the show first.I think it's better to read the book first.It's rare for the show or movie to be better than the book.And then, you just end up ruining the book for yourself, if the show isn't very good.When is the show supposed to start?I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of data I still need to collect to finish my thesis.But I still need to relax sometimes.I can't remember exactly.It's pretty soon, and it's going to be quite long.There are 24 episodes.Well, maybe you could download an electronic copy of the book and try to read it before the show starts.That's a good idea.And then, maybe we can watch the series together.Thanks for the tip, Alice.W: No problem.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 8. How did the man get to know about the book The Three Body Problem?Question 9. What does the woman say she can't remember about the book's author?Question 10. What does the man have to do to finish his thesis?Question 11. What will the man most probably do first after the conversation?Conversation TwoHello, good afternoon.I have an inquiry to make.It's about the vegetarian food festival you are holding on the 19th of August at the Newcastle City Hall.Yes, of course. My name's Philip How can I help you?It says on your website that you are still looking for vendors, and I grow organic vegetables on my farm, as well as doing my own home baking.Would I be able to sell both the vegetables and items baked from them at the festival?That's exactly the type of thing we are looking for.We're getting close to the deadline, however.Do you prefer to fill out an application on the web, or to print it out and fill it in by hand and then post it back to us?Remember that you will have to have all your certificates to hand when you are filling out the forms, as the standards are high and they'll be carefully checked before anyone will be able to sell their produce at the event.I should be fine with doing it on your website, and I already have all my certificates, as we run a small farm shop too.But can you give me your details anyway?Sure. Please address it to the Organic Organization, Vendor Applications, 112 Queens Road, Newcastle, Northumbria.The postcode is NU 29 3LJ.Remember that the closing date is next Tuesday, the 28th of June.That's absolutely wonderful.Thank you so much for your help. Goodbye.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 12.Why does the woman call the man?Question 13. What is the man still looking for?Question 14. What does the man say they are getting close to?Question 15. What does the man finally ask the woman to remember?Passage OneSupporters call it "wild camping"; opponents call it "illegal camping".What both sides accept is that there has been a boom in the past few months, with increasing numbers of visitors pitching their tents on any bit of land they fancy in the UK.In part, this reflects the fact that official campsites have been wholly or partially closed, or are overflowing in a summer when fewer people are going abroad.It is also cheap, at a time when many are worried about what the economic future holds.But it may also be an expression of a desire for going outdoors- a response to the months of lockdown.Most of the coverage of the boom in wild camping has been negative.Camping in public parks has now been banned for August and the early part of September because campers dump litter, human waste, and even their tents on the grassland.Similar action has been taken even in Scotland, where camping is usually permitted on most of its open land.Clearly there have to be rules.It would make sense that wild campers need to ask for permission to camp from landowners, especially outside Scotland, where the law is farmore restrictive.It would be common sense for people to use small tents and leave no trace of their visit.They have been attracted by a patch of land this close to wilderness, and it is their responsibility to keep it that way.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 16. Why has wild camping become popular in the UK?Question 17. Why is camping banned for part of the summer in public parks?Question 18. What does the speaker suggest campers do?Passage TwoImagine boating down the Amazon River, minding your own business calmly keeping an eye out for alarmingly large snakes- and a curious pink dolphin appears to swim alongside.While this may seem like a mythical creature, pink dolphins do exist in the Amazon region.The Amazon river dolphin is a giant among its species.It can measure up to 2 meters long and weigh around 204 kilograms.Size isn't the only thing that sets the Amazon river dolphin apart.Thriving in South American rivers and temporary lakes caused by seasonal flooding, this freshwater dolphin is sometimes shockingly pink.Although born gray, males of the species are easily identified as they enter adulthood by a decisive pink shade.Their unusual coloring is believed to be the result of scar tissue from dolphin fights-- whether play-fighting or a serious bid for a mate.The deeper the pink, the more attractive the males are believed to be, and the older the male, the more pink it will have.There's also a theory that this color helps the dolphins more readily blend in with their surroundings.During heavy rains, rivers along the Amazon rainforest turn a pink shade, and with it male dolphins are harder to detect.The Amazon wetland system, fed by the Amazon River, is a crucial place for pink dolphins to breed, and since 2018 has been granted internationally protected status.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 19. What does the passage say about pink dolphins?Question 20. What is the unusual coloring of pink dolphins believed to originate in?Question 21. What has become of the Amazon wetland system since 2018?Passage ThreeIn a new Merrill Lynch/Age Wave survey, a full 70% of the early adults said they received financial support from their parents in the past yearand 58% said they couldn't afford their current lifestyles without it.The most common types of financial support include cell phone plans, food, school costs and car expenses.Parental financial support of early adults, said Ken Dychtwald, CEO of Age Wave, is "the new normal".But 64% of the young adults surveyed said parents' financial support to children age 25 to 34 is "a bad thing", because it makes those kids dependent.By contrast, only 29% thought supporting men and women age 18 to 24 is bad; the remaining 71% thought that assistance "helps the adult children get ahead".Dychtwald believes the young women and men surveyed were saying that by 25 younger adults ought to be financially independent.In fact, the respondents said, financial independence defines adulthood."Financial independence is something they were struggling with and challenged by. And it scared them a bit," Dychtwald said.One big reason they're struggling is attributed to college loans, of which the average amounts to $37,000.Many of the parents have taken on college loans for the kids, too, sometimes at the expense of their own finances.In the survey, 60% of early adults define financial success as being debt-fee.Whether that's likely, or even possible, anytime soon, is anyone's guess.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 22. What do we learn from a new survey by Merrill Lynch/Age Wave?Question 23. Why did most young adults in the survey say financial support to children aged 25 to 34 is a bad thing?Question 24. What did the respondents in the survey say regarding financial independence?Question 25. What is one big reason young adults are struggling?。
