2023六月英语四级听力原文The 2023 June English CET-4 listening test is a significant challenge for many students. The test consists of multiple sections, each with its own set of questions and tasks. The listening section is particularly demanding, as it requires students to comprehend and respond to spoken English in real-time. The test assesses a student's ability to understand English in a variety of contexts, such as academic lectures, conversations, and interviews. This section of the test can be especially challenging for non-native English speakers, as it requires a high level of language proficiency and listening skills.One of the main difficulties that students face in the listening section of the CET-4 test is the speed at which the speakers talk. The recordings are often fast-paced, and students may struggle to keep up with the information being presented. This can lead to difficulties in understanding the main points of the conversation or lecture, as well as missing key details that are necessary for answering theaccompanying questions. Additionally, the speakers may have different accents and speech patterns, making it even more challenging for students to comprehend the spoken English.Another challenge for students is the variety of topics covered in the listening section. The test may include recordings on a wide range of subjects, such as history, science, literature, and current events. This requires students to have a broad knowledge base and be able to understand and respond to different types of content. For non-native English speakers, this can be particularly challenging, as they may not be familiar with some of the topics or cultural references mentioned in the recordings.In addition to the speed and variety of topics, the listening section of the CET-4 test also requires students to be able to follow instructions and understand details. This can be difficult for some students, especially if they are not used to listening to and comprehending English instructions in an academic setting. The ability to accurately understand and follow instructions is crucialfor completing the tasks and questions that accompany therecordings.Despite these challenges, there are several strategies that students can use to improve their performance in the listening section of the CET-4 test. One effective strategy is to practice listening to a wide range of English-speaking materials, such as podcasts, news broadcasts, and academic lectures. This can help students become more familiar with different accents and speech patterns, as well as improve their overall listening skills. Additionally, students can work on building their vocabulary and knowledge of different topics to better understand the content of the recordings.Furthermore, it is essential for students to develop good note-taking skills to capture key points and details while listening to the recordings. This can help students stay focused and retain important information, which will be crucial for answering the questions accurately. Additionally, students can practice active listening by engaging with the material and asking themselves questions about the content as they listen. This can help improvetheir comprehension and retention of the information presented in the recordings.In conclusion, the listening section of the CET-4 test presents several challenges for students, particularly non-native English speakers. However, with practice and the implementation of effective strategies, students canimprove their listening skills and perform well on the test. It is important for students to be proactive in their preparation, engage with a variety of English-speaking materials, and develop strong note-taking and active listening skills to succeed in this section of the test.。

(16) If you have a car, make sure it is ready for the cold weather. Keep the gas tank as nearly full as you can. This will keep water out of the tank and will be a reserve in case you get into trouble. (17) If a storm traps you in your car, there are some steps you should take for your own safety. Do not tend to walk to find help. You may quickly lose your way in blowing and drifting snow. Your chances of being found are better if you stay in your car. Keep a downwind window open slightly for fresh air. Freezing rain can seal off your car and lock you inside. Run the engine and heater once in a while. Keep the same downwind window open while the engine is running. Make sure that snow has not blocked the exhaust pipe. Clap your hands and move your arms and legs from time to time. Do not stay in one position too long. But, do not move too much. (18) Exercise warms you up, but it also causes you to lose body heat. If more than one person is in the car, do not sleep at the same time. One person should always be awake. If you are alone, stay awake as long as you can. Turn on the inside light at night. This would make your car more visible to rescue crews. Don’t panic. Stay with your car.Q16 What does the speaker say you should do in winter with your car?Q17 What should you avoid doing if a storm traps you in the car?Q18 Why is too much exercise undesirable when you are trapped in a car by a winter storm?Passage 2The topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may think that gift-giving is a universal custom, but actually the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot. And not knowing them can result in greatembarrassment. In North America the rules are fairly simple. If you are invited to someone's home for dinner, bring wine or flowers, or a small item from your country. (19) Among friends, family and business associates, we generally don't give gifts on other occasions except on someone's birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift-giving in Japan is very ancient. (20) There are many detailed rules for everything, from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don't generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some formal customs when visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning. Today, we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additional examples, but let's not miss the main point here. (21) If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learn about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respect differences among people in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors.Q19 What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?Q20 What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift-giving?Q21 What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?Passage 3Claudette Rigo is a reporter for a French newspaper. Her assignment for the last five years has been Washington and American politics. She reports the current political news for her paper.In addition, she writes the column that is published every week. (22) The column explains American politics to her readers in France. They often find it very difficult to understand the United States and Americans. Claudette lives in a small house in a fashionable section of Washington. She entertains a great deal. Her guests are usually government officials, diplomats, lawyers and other newspaper people. When she isn't entertaining, she goes out to dinners and parties. In spite of her busy social life, Claudette works very hard. The parties are really work for her, because reporters frequently get news stories just by talking and listening to people. Claudette also has a small office in the building downtown. She goes there every morning to write up her stories and send them to Paris. (23) Her column is published every Monday, so she usually spends a large part of the weekend working on it at home. (24) Claudette spends a month in France every year, so that she won't forget how to speak French. In spite of all of her experience in Washington, Claudette may be transferred. This is an election year in the United States when the people elect a new president. (25) When the election is over, Claudette thinks that her newspaper in Pairs may change her assignment.Q22 What do we learn about the column Claudette writes?Q23 What does Claudette usually do on weekends?Q24 Why does Claudette spend a month in France every year?Q25 What might happen to Claudette after this year's American presidential election?Compound Dictation26. innocent 27. committed 28. charges29. released 30. rather than 31. appoint32. evidence 33. hold a trial 34. designed 35. foundation。
Listen to people at a party making small talk. What topic is introduced in each conversation? What closing phrase is used to end the conversation?★First conversationLiz: Hi, … Pete?Pete: Hi, Hello.Liz: I am Liz, Donna’s mother. Donna has told me all about you.Pete: Nice to meet you, Mrs. Morton.Liz: It is nice to meet you, too. So, are you enjoying the party?Pete: Yeah, It is great. This might be the last time I see some of these people for a long time, so I’ve been pretty busy, I haven’t had much time to sample the food.Liz: I know what you mean. I cannot believe that all you kids are finally graduating. Donna has grown up so fast! Do you have any plans after graduation?Pete: Well, I’ve applied for a teaching job overseas. I guess I’ll probably find out if I got the job or not next week.Liz: You’re more adventurous than Donna. She’s going to take a job right here in town, at least for the summer. After that, who knows?Pete: Well, you might be seeing me around here for a while longer, too. Oh,… wait a minute. I’m sorry. I think Dan is leaving the party. Excuse me, Mrs. Morton, I’ve got to talk to him before he goes.Liz: Certainly. It was nice meeting you, Pete.Pete: Same here.Liz: Oh, and good luck with your job search.Pete: Thanks. Thanks a lot.★Second conversationMan 1: You know, I … uh … I kind of like this music.Man 2: Well, it is lively. I’ll stay that for it.Man 1: Great music for dancing.Man 2: Dancing? Yeah. I guess. For young people, anyway.Man 1: What? What, you think we’re too old?Man 2: Oh, no. You’re not thinking…Man 1: And why not? It looks like fun! Why should we sit here while everyone else ishaving a great time?Man 2: If you start dancing to this music, you’re going to make a fool out of yourself.Man 1: Hmm. That’s what you think.Man 2: Anyway, who would you dance with?Man 1: Oh? Is that a challenge?Man 2: Oh, no.Woman: Hey, there. Want to dance?Man 1: Uh,… why,…why, yes, I would, young lady. (turns to Man2) Uh, excuse me. It’s been real nice talking to you, but, uh, I’ve got to go.★Third conversationWoman 1: Mmmm,…this is delicious. I love stuffed grape leaves.Woman 2: Ummm, me, too. It all tastes delicious. Do you think they made all this themselves? Or did they have it catered?Woman 1: Oh, no. George is a great cook. Why would they cater it?Woman 2: Really?Woman 1: Oh, yeah.Woman 2: George cooks?Woman 1: You didn’t know that? Lynn’s always saying that’s half the reason she married him!Woman 2: Well, that is a good reason. She is really lucky. I wish my husband liked to cook. He completely avoids anything that has to do with the kitchen.Woman 1: You know, my husband’s talking about signing up for an Italian cooking class on Saturdays. Oh, I hope he does it.Woman 2: Oh, I wonder if I could convince my husband to do that. I’d sure love being the taste tester for his recipes.Woman 1: Exactly what I was thinking. Well, I’ll let you know when the class starts. Woman 2: Great! Please do. In the meantime, I think I’ll go mention it to him. Talk to you soon.Woman 1: OK. Bye.Listen to Nicole, Tony, and Darren telling different pieces of news. What was the news? What happened exactly?★Nicole: I got some incredible news over the weekend!Man: Yeah? What happened?Nicole: Well, my sister is finally getting married.Man: Really? Well, that is exciting! How long have they been seeing each other?Nicole: Oh, I mean, it’s been over four years. We all knew that they would get married someday, but no one expected it to happen now. And you know what? The funny part is how it happened.Man: Yeah?Nicole: Yeah. OK, listen. They were one a cruise, and one night while they were sitting on the deck of the ship, looking at the stars…Man: Ah,… let me guess. He pulled out a ring and asked her to marry him.Nicole: No, smartly. The other way around. She asked him! She got right down on one knee and proposed.Man: Yeah?Nicole: Yeah! And he was pretty surprised, I think, but of course he immediately said “yes”. Listen, they’re planning a wedding for the fall.Man: Well, that is great news. Yeah,… and I’m sure they’ll be very happy together. Nicole: Yeah. Now I have to start thinking about the wedding. I’m going to be a bridesmaid in the wedding, so, you know, I have to buy a dress and then…★Woman: Why the long face, Tony?Tony: Oh, I just got some bad news today.Woman: What happened?Tony: Well, you know my job at the design studio?Woman: Yes.Tony: Well,…Woman: Oh, no!Tony: Oh, yes. Today the boss called me into his office and told me they had to lay me off indefinitely. That means as of April thirtieth, I’m out of work.Woman: Oh!Tony: No more job.Woman: Tony, I am so sorry. You really liked working there.Tony: Yeah, well, it’s not all bad news. There’s still a small chance that the company will call me back in the summer if the work picks up. You never know what’ll happen. They may still need me then.Woman: Oh, this is so sudden. Isn’t it?Tony: Well, sort of. Two other employees lost their jobs last month, and I had a feeling I might be the next one in line. You know, I’ve only been working there ten months, so I don’t have any seniority. If they’re going to lay someone off, it is always going to be the newer employees first.Woman: What are you going to do?Tony: Like I said, I’ve still got a job until the end of the month. Starting in May, I plan to send out resumes and go on some interviews. Depending on the outcome of the interviews,…★Darren: I just found out that my parents are moving.Woman: Mmmm. Are you surprised?Darren: Well, not really. They’ve been trying to sell their house for, gosh, six months to a year now.Woman: Oh, well, I thought they liked it where they were.Darren: They do. They love it. But they’re getting older. Dad wants to live in a smaller town. And Mom says she’s sick and tired of the fast pace and taking care of the house, you know. Woman: Hmmm. So where are they going to move?Darren: You’re not going to believe this!Woman: What? What?Darren: They’re going to Mexico. Can you believe it?Woman: Nope. They’re going to San Miguel de Allende. It’s this gorgeous little town in the mountains.Woman: Wow! I’ve never heard of it.Darren: Ah,… it’s about a hundred and fifty mile northwest of Mexico City.Woman: Wow. Do your parents speak Spanish?Darren: No, but they’re going to learn.Woman: Wow. That is a big change! Why don’t they stay in the U.S.?Darren: Well, they have always wanted to live abroad. Now that they’re retired, they finally get to do it. And my Dad, he adores Mexico. He’d been there six or seven times at least. Woman: Wow. Sounds like this is going to be quite an adventure.Darren: It should be. And San Miguel – it is stunning. The government has made sure that there’s no new buildings ever built there, so the traditional feeling of the town… well, it’s been preserved. Oh, and they make pottery there, which is perfect for my mother because she collects the stuff.Woman: Oh, that’s great for her. So,… I guess now you’re going to have a place to stay in Mexico.Darren: Yeah,…Woman: And a place for your friends to come and visit in Mexico?Darren: Well, if my friends are nice to me, I suppose something could be arranged. Did you have anybody in particular in mind?Woman: Oh, very funny. So, when exactly are they moving?Darren: Oh, in a couple of months. They have to pack up and take care of all the business here. I’m going to help them with the move. I may even try to stay a couple of months if I can swing the time….。
星火英语四级美文听力100篇Comments on the American DreamThe phrase"American dream" generally refers to the hopes has for his own well-being in America.It is not necessarily a selfish notion, because achieving the dream is assumed to make America strong.Because the dream is held by individuals, there can be as many different dreams as there are people to have them.A new immigrant may dream of mastering the language, holding a steady job, and having his own apartment.A successful industrialist may dream of acquiring more companies.In the past, the most typical components of the American dream for ordinary are as follows. The first component is a piece of land where one can sustain himself and raise a family.Having the land has to go beyond mere subsistence.It must also provide for a profit and expansion.Most importantly, it must help to give your children better opportunties than you had.A final component is freedom of movementwithin your geographic area.In our agriculrural age, freedom of movement came with horse and wagon.We remain emotionally tied to our agricultural past.We replace the working farm of the American dream with a suburban house and an urban job.The horse that took our ancestors to town once a month for supplies isreplaced by a couple of cars that take us several places everyday.The essence of the American dream seems to me to be geographic space and physical freedom.One's efforts allow one to succeed independently while providing an improved future for one's children and making a contribution to the world that one can be proud of.The dream has its constants,but is ever-changing with the people and with the times.For young students today, the dream might include a very high-paying technology job from which one could retire at an early ageand devote oneself to helping others.For middle-aged people today, the dream may include voluntary simplicity--a planned reduction in consump-tion with a potentially more satisfying lifestyle. 1 00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:06,110Struggling in America200:00:06,119 --> 00:00:15,300The United States of America is often seen as a nation300:00:15,309 --> 00:00:19,020in which the pursuit of happiness is not a dream but a reality.400:00:19,029 --> 00:00:23,940The sad truth is that although portrayed as an unusually easy life,500:00:23,949 --> 00:00:27,770life in America is as much of a struggle as in any other nation.600:00:27,779 --> 00:00:33,240For example, higher level education for Americans does not come easy.700:00:33,249 --> 00:00:37,060Although there are scholarships, grants and loans available,800:00:37,069 --> 00:00:42,640if the student fails to meet the criteria he is left with onlypersonal resources to draw from.900:00:42,649 --> 00:00:47,670This takes him into a life with not only a school schedule to follow butperhaps,1000:00:47,679 --> 00:00:50,190also, a work schedule and family life 1100:00:50,199 --> 00:00:55,330These are often the difficulties that are not portrayed through theTV andmovies.1200:00:55,339 --> 00:00:58,320These are also the difficulties which many believe1300:00:58,329 --> 00:01:01,780they will not encounter by attending an American college.1400:01:01,789 --> 00:01:05,060In the second place, there is financial security.1500:01:05,069 --> 00:01:10,970Many times what is portrayed of life in America is a life where “money isno object”.1600:01:10,979 --> 00:01:13,050The fallacy in this is that,1700:01:13,059 --> 00:01:13,050Each person has their own personal struggle1800:01:13,059 --> 00:01:13,260and money is an object for the majority of the people.1900:01:13,269 --> 00:01:16,110in spite of the comparatively higher wages available,2000:01:16,119 --> 00:01:18,300the cost of living is also higher.2100:01:18,309 --> 00:01:21,690Even though it may seem like one is making more money,2200:01:21,699 --> 00:01:30,330just as much is spent in surviving.2300:01:30,339 --> 00:01:35,250Thirdly is the belief that in the American way of life everyone has a goodjob.2400:01:35,259 --> 00:01:38,420With the increasing advancements in technology,2500:01:38,429 --> 00:01:43,240a well-paying job for those currently in the work force is getting harder tofind.2600:01:43,249 --> 00:01:46,630Those who have not been exposed to computers2700:01:46,639 --> 00:01:50,310and other new methods of communication are finding this to be true.2800:01:50,319 --> 00:01:52,110As it stands now,2900:01:52,119 --> 00:01:56,680the job market is requiring at least a two-year degree from college,3000:01:56,689 --> 00:01:58,770in order to make enough to live comfortably.3100:01:58,779 --> 00:02:02,480Even then well-paid jobs are not easy to find,3200:02:02,489 --> 00:02:04,480as it is sometimes believed because of the portrayal of life in America.。

It was super exciting and I want to tell you all about it.First of all, the exam was held in a big hall with lots of other students. We had to bring our ID cards and pencils, just like in school exams. The exam started at 9am and lasted for about 2 hours. There were four parts to the exam: listening, reading, writing, and translation.The listening part was a bit tricky because they played the recordings only once. I had to really focus and try to catch all the information. The reading part was easier, with short passages and multiple choice questions. The writing part was my favorite because I got to write an essay about my favorite book. I wrote about Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it was so much fun!The translation part was a bit challenging because I had to translate some Chinese sentences into English. I hope I did wellon that part. Overall, I think I did pretty good on the exam. I studied really hard and tried my best.I can't wait to see my results and see if I pass the exam. I'll keep you guys updated! Thanks for listening to my CET-4 experience, I hope you enjoyed it.
