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。

英语四级听力新题型模拟听写训练:第1套-短篇新闻(1)Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.Recently, a photo showing a visitor on the Great Wall last week aroused a heated discussion on the Internet. They called it the "great queue of China". It was, with the famous structure snaking to the horizon behind him completely hidden by a mass of other tourists. The vast imperial palace, the Forbidden City, at one point welcomed more than 180,000 visitors in a single day. In the desert at Dunhuang, at least two camels transporting tourists reportedly died from overwork in the Golden Week. And Chinese media said road traffic was up by thirteen percent on last year, causing unprecedented jams.英语四级听力新题型模拟听写训练(第1套) 短篇新闻(2)Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.These days, German government has been criticized for not doing enough to commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I.Germany has spent less on events than some other European countries.And the events which have taken place have been seen as half-hearted by critics.Traditionally in Germany the First World War is overshadowed by the Second World War. History teaching in German schools tends to focus on the crimes of the Nazis rather than what happened a generation earlier.And since 1945 there's been a strong aversion in Germany to anything that might be seen as glorifying militarism.So many people here are uncomfortable with any anniversary of a war or a battle.There's still some disagreement among historians about who was responsible for World War I. But having spent the last 70 years making up for Nazi guilt,many Germans have little appetite to now take on the blame for the First World War, too. Question 3.What makes the German government be criticized recently?Question 4.What's the attitude of German people towards militarism?问题3和问题4是基于下面这则新闻的。

I love waking up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window. A quick cup of coffee, and then it's time to hit the books. But hey, a little music in the background always helps me focus.Paragraph 2: Classroom Discussion.You know, sometimes in class, the professor brings up a topic that really gets everyone talking. It's amazing how different perspectives can spark such lively debates. I always find myself learning so much from those discussions.Paragraph 3: Library Ambiance.The library is such a serene place. The hushed whispers and the occasional turning of pages create a unique atmosphere. I love losing myself in a good book there, away from all the distractions.Paragraph 4: Travel Adventures.Last summer, I went on this incredible trip to Europe. The sounds of different languages, the bustling markets,and the sound of the train wheels rolling over the tracks... It was all so exciting!。

可编辑修改精选全文完整版英语四级听力新题型解析及答题技巧英语四级听力新题型解析及答题技巧从2016年开始，英语四级听力部分题型有了一些改变，针对这种改变我们应该如何有针对性的进行备考，今天我们来讲一讲关于听力部分题型改变之新增题型——短篇新闻类答题技巧。

一、四级听力题型变化自2016年6月考试起，全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会将对四级考试的听力试题作局部调整。

调整的相关内容说明如下：1.取消短对话。

2.取消短文听写。

3.新增短篇新闻(3段)，每段设置2—3个小题，共7题，每小题1分，新闻长度130—190词。

4.长对话(2段)由原来的共7题调整为共8题，每小题1分，对话长度不变。

5.短文理解(3段)题型不变，分值由原来的'每小题1分调整为每小题2分。

6.考试时间由原来的35分钟减为25分钟。

二、新闻英语文体特点(一) 新闻报道“六大要素”新闻报道里的“六大要素”即常说的“人物(who)、时间(when)、地点(where)、事件(what)、原因(why)和方式(how)”。

在英语短新闻或内容提要中至少包括其中三个要素：who，what和when，这些是新闻报道中最具价值的三要素。

(二) 倒金字塔结构所谓倒金字塔结构，也称为倒叙法，即按新闻事实重要程度由要点到细节逐步扩展，安排全文。

倒金字塔结构把最重要的事实置于全文的第一句中，即新闻导语(the news lead)。

导语告知听众最新鲜、最关心、最重要的事实，如事件(what)、时间(when)、地点(where)、人物(who)以及原因(why)和方式(how)。

新闻导语是对整条新闻内容的高度概括，听懂了导语，也就听懂了新闻的主要内容。

当然，由于新闻报道的侧重点不同，有时新闻导语可能只包含其中的几个要素。

(三) 新闻英语词汇特点1.常用词汇表示特殊含义新闻报道常使用某些常见词汇来表达事实和事件，这些词汇经过长期使用逐渐取得与新闻报道相联系的特殊意义，成为新闻体词语(journalistic words)。

全国大学英语四、六级考试听力试题调整的说明关于全国大学英语四、六级考试听力试题调整的说明同学们是否已经听说大学英语四级听力改革了?下面是店铺为大家整理的大学英语四级听力改革说明，希望能帮助到大家!自2016年6月考试起，全国大学英语四六级考试委员会将对四六级考试的听力试题作局部调整。

调整的相关内容说明如下：1.取消短对话;2.取消短文听写;3.新增短篇新闻(3段)，每段设置2~3个小题，共7题，每小题1分，新闻长度130~190词;4.长对话(2段)由原来的共7题调整为共8题，每小题1分，对话长度不变;5.短文理解(3段)题型不变，题目设置还是10个，分值由原来的每小题1分调整为每小题2分;6.考试时间考试时间由原来的35分钟减为25分钟。

从上面的试题结构变化可以看出，最大的变化就是取消了短对话和短文听写这2个题型，增加了短篇新闻听力这个新题型。

虽然考试时间和问题个数及分值设置都有变化，但是这些不会影响到同学们平常的练习，以前怎么练习还是怎么练习，只是要加强短文理解的练习力度，毕竟它的一小题的分值是2分。

同学们现在需要做的是多听新闻听力，总结短篇新闻的特点及答题技巧。

考试吧向大家推荐多听以下几个电台的新闻：VOA,BBC,ABC,CRI 等，上网搜一下，很多网站都会有这些电台的新闻听力，若能找到这些新闻听力的文本，是再好不过的了。

一些网站会延后更新新闻听力的`文本，大家可以多搜搜。

不过，在看听力文本之前，自己要多听几遍，慢慢地就会发现自己能听出来的越来越多，不需要文本，也能轻松听懂。

短篇新闻听力有着新闻听力的共性：面广量大的词汇结构，频繁使用缩略词，句式复杂，语言口语化等，可是毕竟是短篇，信息量不会太大，所以大家不必慌张，平常多加练习即可。

多听多总结，就会慢慢适用新闻听力，多找相应的新闻听力题练习，相信考试时就能轻松得分了。

【关于全国大学英语四、六级考试听力试题调整的说明】。

大学英语四级新题型新闻听力分析及策略探究2022年起，大学英语四级听力考试将加入新的题型——新闻听力。

这一改动不仅增加了听力难度，也提高了听力考试的实用性。

下面分析一下新闻听力的特点和考试策略。

一、新闻听力的特点1. 文体特点新闻听力的文体特点是新闻文体，一般包含以下内容：标题、导语、正文、后续报道、分析评论等。

听到新闻题材时需要抓住关键信息，构建对文章整体的理解。

2. 语言特点新闻语言通常精炼简洁，紧凑有力，表达清晰。

但是在报道不同主题的新闻时，语言难度也会存在差异，有些新闻语言难度会更高。

3. 速度特点新闻听力的速度相对较快，特别是在报道重要事件时，记者会尽量缩短语言，让信息尽快被听众掌握。

因此，用好听力缩写技巧是非常重要的。

二、新闻听力的考试策略1. 有意识地回顾新闻概要和问题在听新闻前，花一两分钟的时间读一下新闻标题、导语和问题，全面了解新闻的大致概况和考察焦点，能够很好地帮助建立一些必要的预期，提高理解能力和对信息的把握度。

2. 放慢听力速度新闻听力考试过程中，通常需要以较快的速度准确地听取新闻以获取重要的信息。

但是考虑到新闻的语言、难度、速度、气氛、情感等因素的影响，我们需要适当放慢自己的速度，便于更好更快地理解新闻内容，减少遗漏信息的可能性。

3. 重复信息在新闻听力中，重复的信息相对较多，因此应该尽可能利用这些信息来获取整个新闻的信息，特别是那些经常出现在新闻中的关键短语或词语，有助于加强记忆，易感性信息须特别重视。

4. 抓关键词结合新闻题目或问题，有意识地听取与问题相关或重要的单词并牢记，这些关键词通常能够帮助我们理解新闻或完成问题。

5. 分析结构和逻辑关系重要的新闻常常有结构或逻辑顺序的关联，因此通过分析文章的结构和逻辑关系，会帮助理解新闻，并在答题时更好的把握文章的主旨，准确回答问题。

1. 搜集大量新闻听力材料，并适当分时段进行调整，提高听力理解的能力。

2. 对于新闻听力难度较大的文章，可以结合其所涉及的话题和领域进行补充和拓展，加深对相关知识的了解和理解。

英语四级听力新题型模拟听写训练:第12套短文(2)听力文本：As we hit middle age, we often start to notice that our memory and mental clarity are not what they used to be.人到中年，我们通常会开始发觉自己的记忆力和脑力不如从前。

We suddenly can't remember where we put the keys just a moment ago, or an old acquaintance's name, or the name of an old band we used to love.我们会突然忘记自己把刚放下的钥匙放哪了，或想不起旧相识的名字或曾经非常喜欢乐队的名字。

This loss of mental focus can potentially have a bad impact on our professional, social, and personal well-being.这种心智上注意力的缺失可能会对我们的工作、社交以及个人生活产生不好的影响。

Neuroscientists are increasingly showing that there's actually a lot that can be done.神经学家不断表明很多方法可以帮助改善这一情况。

It turns out that the brain needs exercise in much the same way our muscles do, and the right mental workouts can significantly improve our basic cognitive functions.事实上，大脑和肌肉一样需要锻炼，而且正确的锻炼方式可以大幅提高大脑的认知功能。

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.

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. Th e 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.

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 with customers ― they can n ow 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 toa plain white colour.5.

C六级听力样题Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.Moderator （会议主持人）:Hello Ladies and Gentleman, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker for today’s session, Dr. Howard Miller. 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, I’d 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 grandfather’s own words, like having a limb cut off. He exclaimed in a forceful manner that he felt he wasn’t impo rtant 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 one’s 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, 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 me an？19. What is the focus of Dr. Miller’s speechNow 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) Theyget along well with people.B) They get better pay. D) Theydevelop 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 and long-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 nutritio n. 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 t he 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 promoti on 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 says nations 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 life21. 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 1980sNow 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 onlineNow listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.23. A) The guaranteed quality of its goods.B) The huge volume of its annual sales.C) The service it provides to its customers.D) The high value-to-weight ratio of its goods.24. A) Those having a taste or smell component.B) Products potentially embarrassing to buy.C) Those that require very careful handling.D) Services involving a personal element.25. A) Those who live in the virtual world.B) Those who have to work long hours.C) Those who are used to online transactions.D) Those who don’t mind paying a little more.Section C16. B 17. D18. A 19.
