Which of the following would be the best title for the two talks?2. Who are the speakers?Exercise 2：Listening for detailsListen again and complete the table according to the information you get from the recording.Speaking TasksPair WorkListen to the conversations and repeat after the recording.Practise the conversations with your partner,playing the role of A or B.Then work with your partner to create your own conversations by replacing the underlined parts with your own words.Conversation 1A: Excuse me, may I sit here?B: Sure.A: Nice day, isn't it?B: Yes, it's warm and sunny. Just the kind of weather I like.A: Me too. Are you from the English Department?B: No, I'm a computer major.A: Oh, really? You speak English very well.B: Thank you.Conversation 2A: How long have you been studying English?B: About four years.A: Do you like it?B: Very much.A: Why's that?B: Well, I think it's very useful.Conversation 3A: Which English class do you like best?B: Listening, of course. How about you?A: To be honest, I find listening rather difficult.B: You should listen to these tapes. They are very helpful.Part CAdditional ListeningA PassageHow to Improve Listening ComprehensionListen to the passage and answer the following questions by filling in the blanks.Among the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing,I find listening most difficult,because I worry about the words I don't know.Now I'm trying to focus on the general idea,not worrying about the new words.This makes me feel good,because I know I've understood something.Then, I listen again carefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult parts again.In this way I come to understand better both the main idea and the details of the listening text.Part DTest Your ListeningShort ConversationsYou're going to hear five short conversations.Listen carefully and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. W: John, why don't you watch NBA games on TV?M: Oh, I'm studying for a Chinese test tomorrow.Q: What's the man doing?2. W: Tom, if you can give me a hand,I will be able to get this history paper done quickly.M: Of course I can.Q: What's Tom going to do?3.

My mother goes to work early.And I overslept because I don't have an alarm clock.Q: What does Tim say about his being late for class?全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程1Unit 2 Fun with LanguagePart ACommunicative FunctionOpening and Closing a ConversationIn everyday life, we often have to open and close a conversation.This exercise focuses on how people perform these communicative functions.Listen to the recording and decide if the first sentence of each short dialogue you hear begins the opening or the closing of a conversation.Tick the answer.1. —It's been a really wonderful evening.Thank you very much for inviting us.—I'm glad you enjoyed it.—Maybe we could get together sometime at my home.—Sounds nice.2. —Great party, isn't it?—Yeah, really.—You look familiar to me. Have we met before?—I'm afraid not.3. —I'm afraid I have to go now.—So soon? Well, I enjoyed our talk together.—Me too.4. —Excuse me, could you tell me the time?—It's half past 5 by my watch.—Thank you very much.—You're welcome.5. —Is this seat taken?—Oh, let me move my stuff.—Aren't you Jack Brown? I'm Bill, Bill Stone.—Oh, hello, Bill. Fancy meeting you here!6. —Hi, Jack. So good to see you.—Oh, hi, Andy. It's been quite a while since we saw each other last.How 're things with you?—Just fine. What 've you been doing these years?—Well, I've been studying for my PhD degree here at the university.—That's wonderful. Listening StrategyDistinguishing Between Similar SoundsIt is important to distinguish between similar sounds while s like Jean and Jane, figures like 18 and 80 can sound quite alike.Titles like Mrs. and Miss can also be confusing.Listen to the recording and underline the word you hear in each sentence.1. May I introduce Miss Jones to you?2. John Davis was born in California in 1930.3. I can't agree with you more.4. My birthday is on June 20th.5. Paul, is your sister married?6. Look, here comes Mr. Black, our sales manager.7. Bob isn't in the library right now.8. Mr. Taylor is said to be leaving for South Africa soon.9. Pass me the beer, please.10. I was wondering if you could help Anna with her music lessons.Part B Listening TasksA PassageHow to Improve Your Conversation SkillsExercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and then do the following.To speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and willingness to make errors.Some people are soafraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths.And that's the biggest mistake of all.Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors,what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation.Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle.Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well.But others, such as age, money or people's appearance do not.The following are some good ways to open a conversation.Weather —It sure is cold today, isn't it?News —Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn't always go smoothly.Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow.Not to worry, though.You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly.For example,"Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn't catch it."Or "Could you speak more slowly, please?"At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way."Well, I really need to be going" or "It was nice talking to you"is frequently used by people to end a conversation.Exercise 2：Listening for detailsListen to the recording again and complete the answers to the following questions.Speaking TasksPair WorkListen to the conversations and repeat after the recording.Practise the conversations with your partner,playing the role of A or B.Then work with your partner to create your own conversations by replacing the underlined parts with your own words.Conversation 1A: Excuse me, Jack, do you have a minute?B: Yes. What can I do for you?A: Well, I wonder if you could tell me how I could improve my oral English.B: Mm. Do you often speak English with your friends?A: I wanted to, but every time I open my mouth I seem to make errors, so sometimes I just give up.B: I guess speaking in a foreign language isn't easy. You must be willing to make some errors at the beginning. A: You mean I shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes.B: That's right.A: And I should try to speak English as much as I can.B: Exactly.A: Thanks for the advice.B: Any time.Conversation 2(On the way to class)A: Cold this morning, isn't it?B: Yes, and it's supposed to get even colder.A: I hope it won't get as cold as last night.B: Speaking of last night, did you attend the English Speech Contest?A: Yeah, I did. It was terrific.That guy who won the first prize speaks really fluent English.I do admire him.B: Me, too. We'll just have to work harder. Maybe one of us can win the next English contest.A: Yeah, maybe. Who knows?B: Well, I have to run now. I have an appointment with the dean. Bye.A: Bye.Part CAdditional ListeningA PassageSmile When You Read ThisListen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).Correct the ones that are false.How good is your memory?Answer these four questions:What did you have for breakfast yesterday?What clothes did you wear last Friday?Who did you talk to yesterday?Where did you go last Saturday?If you can answer all the four questions, your memory is very good.Education specialists in England have been looking into ways to improve our memory of what we read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five of the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happy article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions. The smiling students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students. Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while smiling, and five students read the angry article while frowning. Which group remembered better? You're right. The frowning students. The specialists don't know why facial expressions help memory. They are continuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Part DTest Your ListeningA PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.Many expressions may be used to describe someone who is excited. One such expression is "beside oneself". You can be beside yourself with anger or beside yourself with happiness, although usually not both at the same time! If you are beside yourself, you are filled with excitement. The dictionary tells us that "beside" means "next to", or "at the side of". So the expression "beside oneself" describes something that really is not possible. Today, you might hear a husband say, "When my wife told me we were going to have a baby, I was beside myself with joy." Or someone might tell you he was beside himself with anger because he had just lost his job. When you are full of joy or extremely excited, you may do something strange. You may "flip your lid". A lid is the cover that prevents something from escaping from a container. A lid on a cooking pot, for example, keeps the heat from escaping. To flip something is to turn it over. So when you "flip your lid", you become so excited that you lose your self-control.Questions1. What condition does the expression "beside oneself" describe today?2. What is meant by the expression "flip your lid"?3. What does the passage mainly discuss?全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程1Unit 3 School LifePart ACommunicative FunctionExpressing Likes and DislikesThere are various ways to express likes and dislikes. They can be expressed by using verbs, phrasal verbs, adjectives as well as adjectival phrases.Listen to the recording and complete the following passage with the missing words.Maggie likes swimming but she doesn't care for skiing. She loves flying on planes and traveling by train but hates getting on buses because they are often too crowded. She is interested in playing the piano and is fond of reading and playing computer games. At weekends Maggie loves going to Chinese restaurants and her favorite food is spicy Sichuan bean curd. After work she is keen on listening to music. She prefers light music to rock, because light music makes her feel relaxed. In the evening she enjoys watching TV in her own room. She thinks a lot of news programs but sitcoms are the last kind of thing for her to watch.Listening StrategyIdentifying NumbersIt is necessary for us to listen for specific words that contain the information we need. This exercise focuses on one kind of required information —numbers.Listen to the recording and fill in the blanks with the numbers you hear.1. Remember to put down the zip code when you address the envelope. Mine is 92381.2. Sally's aunt has just come back from France. Now she's staying at the Park Hotel, Room 2608.3.

The university provides two types of accommodation, halls of residence and self-catering accommodation. S: How much does it cost for the self-catering accommodation?R: For a single room, £ 37.86 per week, that's about £ 5.40 a day. For a double room, it's £ 52.78 per week.

The residences at Elms Road and Palm Road are about one and a half miles from the university main site and the Freemen's Common Houses at William Road are half a mile.S: When do I need to apply?R: Are you an undergraduate or a postgraduate?S: Undergraduate.R: Then you should apply for it as soon as possible, since places in university-owned accommodation are limited and if you don't apply before the end of the month, you are not likely to get a place.S: Could you possibly tell me what to do if no vacancy is available?R: Yes, you may consider private accommodation.

I applied for it, but they told me there was no vacancy.B: What a pity! You should have applied earlier.

It's more than I have in mind. Let me think it over. I'll call you back in a day or two.A: Certainly.Part CAdditional ListeningA PassageWhat College Professors DoListen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the missing information.College professors are often believed to lead easy lives of quiet thinking while teaching one or two classes every week. But actually they do much more than that. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly, yet works from sixty to eighty hours a week. Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which they revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare notes than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experiments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may also be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions. When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behind closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow's classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must feel strongly about the importance of the college experience.Part DTest Your ListeningA PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.Despite what your parents and others try to make you believe, life at college may not be the best experience you will ever live through. Why? The simple one-word answer is: Roommates. One has often heard about the guy that never sleeps or the girl who always has her friends over or the one who studies all the time and becomes very disturbed by the slightest movement you make. Okay, they are not all that bad. So how do you get them to stop? You can't do it. It's impossible. The only way you will be able to live with your roommates is by compromising. If you like to have friends over, but your roommates want to study, take your friends out. If you don't like to listen to music while you are studying but one of your roommates does, ask him to use headphones. Talk about your habits and ask your roommates about theirs. Respect your roommates and your roommates will respect you. You may not be friends with your roommates by the end of the year but you may be friends with them the year after, when you are no longer rooming together. This is all right though. Sometimes it's too difficult to try to live together and be good friends at the same time. Roommates are not always meant to be your best friends. Remember: Not only do you have roommates, you are a roommate. Be good to your roommates.Questions1. What does the passage mainly tell us?2. What's the only way you will be able to live with your roommates according to the passage?3. Which of the following is true?全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程1Unit 4 Going to a PartyPart ACommunicative FunctionControlling a ConversationIn daily communication we often use different techniques to control a conversation. We need to know how to show attention or surprise, how to agree or disagree, how to break in, how to change the subject, and how to bring other people into a conversation. In this part you'll learn some of the ways we use to control a conversation.Listen to the conversations and supply the missing words in the blanks.1. M: Great party, isn't it?W: Yeah, super.

M: When are you leaving for Australia, Diana?W: In just two weeks. And I'm so excited. But there are still one or two things I need to do before I go.M: Like what?W: Like going to the travel agent and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone.M: Your apartment? Perhaps you could sublet it.W: Yeah, but who to?M: Hmm,let me think. Oh, I know just the person. An old friend of mine, Peter Jones, is coming here to do some research this summer, from June through August.W: That's exactly when I'll be away. Sounds ideal. When could you talk to him about it?M: Well, I'll be calling him later this week, anyway. I'll mention it to him then.W: Thanks a lot. Come to think of it, Michael, shall we have a get-together with Tom and Catherine this weekend?M: Good idea! Let's do that.Listening StrategyIdentifying Adverbials of FrequencyExpressions like "once a week", "twice a month" etc. are used to denote how often you do something.Now listen to the recording and write down short answers to the questions.1.

You just need a few tips.A: But what if I say something stupid?B: Relax. You won't. But even if you do, it's all right. Everyone makes mistakes.A: Yeah, especially me! What if I'm boring? No one wants to listen to a bore.B: Hey, you're not giving a speech. You're just having a conversation. So just talk about something you know they are interested in.A: That's the problem. I don't know what Carol's friends are interested in.B: Let them tell you. If you let people talk about themselves, they'll think you're interesting.A: You mean something like "So, tell me what you're interested in"?B: Well, you don't have to be that direct.For example, you can talk about the weather.A: You can't be serious. The weather's boring.B: It's a good excuse to find out what they like to do. On a rainy day, you say, "What do you do in such terrible weather?"A: What if they just stayed home and read a book?B: Then ask them about the book. You can ask if it was good. Ask if they liked it and why. Then talk about a book you really liked.A: So that's what small talk is about, isn't it? Well, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tips, Mike.B: You're welcome. Have a good time at the party.Questions1. What are the two speakers talking about?2. What do you learn about John from the conversation?3.
