Unit 1-Conversation 1**（1）Janet:So this is the Cherwell Boathouse —it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy.Mark:I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet:Raising money for charity? Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that.Mark:Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting.Janet:Sponsored punting! What's that?Kate:Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something —like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt.Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you! Mark:That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do.Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity.Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here.Kate:That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that?Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far? Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ... We have to decide where the punt will start from.Mark: Cherwell Boathouse, no question! It's a very beautiful route from here, apparently.Kate: I'm with you on that.Janet: Me tooJanet: I'm not used to boats — Woah!Mark: Whoops!Kate: Watch out! You nearly hit me with that thing! Mark: Sorry! I didn't mean to. ... OK, we're off! Kate: Maybe I should do the punting.Mark:It's 've got the hang of it now —give me a chance.Kate: Well, I'd like to have a go.Mark: Supposing I do the first hour. Then you can take over for a while, if you want to.Kate: Yes, great.Janet: You're really good at it, Mark! This is fantastic! It's exactly how I imagined life here! Look over there —isn't it lovely!Kate: Yes, it is.Unit 1-Conversation 2Janet: Kate, everything's organized, isn't it, for collecting the sponsorship money?Kate: Yes, I've arranged for people to get the money to me by next Friday — if they haven't paidonline. I'll count it all up.Janet: Good. We'd better have a meeting soon after that, don't you think? How much have we raised?Kate: About 600.Janet: Fantastic! I'm so enjoying this!Mark: Hey guys, I've got a suggestion —how about moving over to the bank and we can have our picnic! Hey, look, there's Louise and Sophie! Mark: Whoo ...Girls: Mark!Janet: Are you all right?Mark: Er .Of course I'm all right. Kate, I think it's your turn to punt!Unit 1-Outside ViewVoice-over Harvard University in Cambridge is one of the best universities in the world. We spoke to Alex Jude, the university's Head of Communications. He explained that Harvard looks for the best and most talented students from around the world. Alex Harvard actually seeks students from around theworld, the best students that we can find, to study chemistry,or study literature, or study government, or business.Ourbusiness school is particularly well-known around the world, as is the medical school and law school, so, um, and, and theKennedy School of Government, or the John F KennedySchool of Government, so, er, we do seek very, very talentedstudents and we have open doors for them.Voice-over We asked five students at Harvard to tell uswhat kind of social life they have.Ashley Um, well relaxing is a little hard to do around here, but basically, I mean, I still, I, I live nearby anyway, so I see a lot of my friends, and ... Um, there's a good social life here if you look for it. I go to the gym, run. So that's what I do.Adam It's, it's whatever you want it to be. It's good. Ifyou wanna go out party, do anything you can. If you wannasit in your room and study all night like my friend over here,you can also do that.Brian Socially, like you said, it's, it's a lot of what youmake it. Um, we don't have fraternities here, and so, youknow, that's, it's obviously not as social. There's not as manyparties as there would be on another campus. Um,but on aFriday or Saturday night, there, there, there will be a party.Usually we end up studying until about 10 o'clock.And thenwe, and then we'll go out and have fun maybe, or just watch amovie with friends, or, you know, whatever is going on forthe night.Jodie Not everyone would agree with me, obviously, but it's, I think it's a fun place to be. Interviewer Have you made a lot of friends?Jodie Oh, definitely.Interviewer Mm.Jodie Many.Interviewer What, what do you do with your friends?Jodie Um, well, I like to go to concerts. I'm in threemusic groups, so I have lots of rehearsals during the week forthat. Um, just do, you know, some fun things, on the weekend.Voice-over We asked the Harvard students if they use theInternet.Ashley Um, I, I use it a fairly good amount. Um, our library system is online, so I use that a lot. And a lot of myclasses, you know, have to do research papers. You can find alot of information on there, so.Interviewer So how often do you use it, a week, a day?Ashley Um, I use it probably on more of a weekly basis. Maybe three or four times a week. Brian Oh yes, definitely. We live through the Internetactually. Well, I do a lot of research through the Internet,follow my stocks on the Internet. Um, well, even thoughe-mail is not officially Internet, we, that's how we communicate a lot at college, so, through the e-mail.John Um, I use the internet mostly for, er, I'd say,sort of leisure purposes. I mean, I play, um, I use it for a lotof, I don't, we don't have TV in my room, so I use it, uh, uh,go to the CNN website, keep up on current events, things likethat. Uh, I also, uh, you know, there's some little games toplay over the Internet. Um, just um, I go to to seewhat's happening, follow the Boston Red Sox, things likethat. Um, I think a lot of courses use it to post things, but I, Idon't usually use it that much for research, or things.I tend touse the libraries for such things, so.Unit 1-Listening inNews reportStanford University has recently changed its financial aid policy for students to make the university more affordable and accessible. Students who don’t have financial aid pay about $46,000 a year just for tuition. It’s not unusual for students to be forced to decline an offer because they can’t afford to go to their dream school. The new policy means that for students whose families earn less than $125,000, tuition is fully covered by scholarship and grant aid. Those with a family income below $65,000 are not expected to pay for either tuition, or room and board. This is great news for talented students who are concerned about fees.However, Stanford is not the only top university in the United States that makes tuition affordable for students. Ivy League schools, such as Harvard, Princeton and Yale, also offer free tuition plans to students from low-income and middle-class families.Stanford and Ivy League schools can offer generous financial aid packages because they are very wealthy. They receive large annual donations that can be used for specific purposes, such as financial aid.1 What has Stanford University done recently?2 How much is the tuition a year at Stanford if students don’t receive financial aid?3 Why is Stanford University so wealthy? Passage 1Voice-over Hi, I'm Nick Carter, and this is SUR, your university radio station. This morning we went around campus to ask freshers -now half-way through their first year -the question, "How are you finding uni?" Here are some of the answers we got. Speaker 1It's cool. It's everything I hoped it would be. I'mvery ambitious, I want to be a journalist and I want to get to the top of the profession. I've started writing for the university newspaper so I've got my foot on the ladder already.Speaker 2I'm working hard and the teaching is as good as I expected. And I've made some good friends. But I'm very homesick. I'm Nigerian and my family's so far away. I went home at Christmas for a month -that really helped, butman, I miss my family so much.Speaker 3"How am I finding uni?" It's great. It's not perfect, nothing is, but, like, I've got a brilliant social life, just brilliant, and I've made lots of friends. For the first few months I just didn't do, really enough work. But I -1 talked about it with my parents and I'm working harder now and getting good grades.Speaker 4Actually, I've been quite lonely to be honest. I'm a bit shy ... everyone else seemed to find it so easy to make friends straight away. But things have been better recently - yeah, they have. I've joined a couple of clubs and like, it really helps to get to know people when you have shared interests. So, yeah - I'm feeling a lot happier now.Speaker5 Uni's great, I love it. My only problem -and it'squite a big problem - is money. My parents are both unemployed so, you know, they can't help me financially. Mygrant just isn't - it's just not enough for me to live on, so I'vetaken a part-time job as a waitress — a lot of peopleI know,like a lot, have had to do the same. I don't want to have hugedebts at the end.Speaker 6I love my subject. History, and I'm, I'm getting fantastic teaching here. I want to be a university lecturer andthat means I have to get a first. I have a good social life butwork definitely comes first for me.Passage 2Oxford and Cambridge - two universities so similar that they are often spoken of together as "Oxbridge". They're both in the UK, fairly near London, and both regularly come top in any ranking of the world's best universities.The two universities began within a century of each other. Oxford University, now 900 years old, was founded towards the end of the 11th century. In 1209 there was a dispute between the university and the townspeople of Oxford. As a result, some of the Oxford teachers left and founded a university in the town of Cambridge, some 84 miles away. Ever since then, the two institutions have been very competitive.Unlike most modem universities, both Oxford and Cambridge consist of a large number of colleges. Oxford has 39 and Cambridge 31. Many of these colleges have old and very beautiful architecture, and large numbers of tourists visit them.In all UK universities, you need good grades inthe national exams taken at 18. But to get into Oxford and Cambridge, it's not enough to get A grades in your exams. You also have to go for a long interview. In these interviews, students need to show that they are creative and capable of original thinking.Through the centuries, both universities have made huge contributions to British cultural life. They have produced great writers, world leaders and politicians. Cambridge, in particular, has produced scientists whose discoveries and inventions have changed our lives.Among the great university institutions is the world's most famous debating society, the Oxford Union, where undergraduates get a chance to practise speaking in public. Cambridge's comedy club Footlights has produced many first-class comedians, while some of the UK's most famous actors and actresses began their careers at The Oxford University Dramatic Society, known as OUDS. Then there's the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, which takes place every year in March or April, and is watched on television all over the UK.So with all this excellence in so many fields, it's not surprising that the ambition of clever students all over the world is to attend either one of these great universities.。

We can use it to study, work, shop and communicate with others. However, the Internet also has some disadvantages. For example, some people may get addicted to it and spend too much time on it. This may affect their study and work. Besides, there is a lot of false information on the Internet, which may mislead people. So we should use the Internet wisely.

U1Music Is Medicine, Music Is SanityEven though some people believe that money makes the world go around, many people would choose health over wealth, opinion polls tell us. For someone like violinist Robert Gupta, who was on his way to becoming a physician before joining the Los Angeles Philharmonic at age 19, music, health, and wealth are all part of the same package. In addition to music, Gupta is deeply interested in neurobiology. Because of his dual interests, he has had the chance to work with Nathaniel Anthony Ayers, a talented musician whose career was sidelined by schizophrenia. Although Ayers studied music at the Juilliard School in New York City, his mental illness got in the way of professional success. After dropping out of Juilliard and having unsuccessful medical treatment for his schizophrenia, Ayers moved to Los Angeles where he ended up homeless. In 2005, a journalist for the Los Angeles Times named Steve Lopez heard Ayers playing music in the streets. Lopez wrote a book about Ayers and became his friend. Their friendship became the subject of a movie, and because of the book and the movie, Ayers has had a chance to perform his music in some of the most famous concert halls in the world. It seemed like Ayers had found his happy ending. However, he refuses to take medication to treat his schizophrenia. He says it keeps him from "hearing the music". Because of this, Ayers is still prone to schizophrenic episodes and sometimes leaves his home to go back to the streets. Gupta was introduced to Ayers after Lopez took his friend to a performance of Beethoven's First and Fourth symphonies, and Ayers asked Gupta for a violin lesson. When they first met, Ayers was agitated and on edge. Gupta was afraid that if he taught the lesson in his usual way, Ayers would react violently. Finally, he just began playing. A change came over Ayers. Gupta said, "And in a miracle, he lifted his own violin and started playing." The two musicians played many violin pieces together that day. A bond was formed. Music, Gupta realized, is a way to deal with our emotions, even our most unpleasant ones. "This was the very reason why we made music (...) through our creativity, we're able to shape those emotions into reality," he says. Now, Gupta says, "I will always make music with Nathaniel, whether we're at Walt Disney Concert Hall or on Skid Row, because he reminds me why I became a musician."民意调查告诉我们，尽管有些人认为金钱让世界运转，但很多人还是会选择健康而不是财富。

2020年12月英语六级听力原文（第一套）Section AConversation1Paul:Good morning,Safehouse Insurance.My name is Paul.How can I help you today?May:Morning.I wouldn’t say that it’s good from where I’m standing.This is Miss Wilson and this is the third time I’ve called this week since receiving your letter about our insurance claim.[1]I’m getting a little fed up with my calls about my claim being completely disregarded.Paul:Miss Wilson,thank you for calling back.Can I take some details to help me look at your claim?May:It’s Miss May Wilson of15South Sea Road in Cornwall.[2]And the details are that our village was extensively flooded2months ago. The entire ground floor of our cottage was submerged in water and five of us have been living in a caravan ever since.You people are still withholding the money we are entitled to over a bizarre technical detail. And it’s not acceptable,Paul!Paul:Miss Wilson,[3]according to the notes on your account,the bizarre technical detail that you mentioned refers to the fact that you hadn’t paid house insurance the month before the incident.May:That money left our account,and now that you should bepaying now,you’re suddenly saying that you didn’t receive it on time. I’m really skeptical about this claim.Paul:The contract does say that any missed payment in a year will affect the terms and conditions of the insurance contract and may affect claims.Of course,I can pass you on to my manager to talk to you more about this.May:I’ve already spoken to him and you can tell him[4]I’m furious now and that your company has a lawsuit on its hands.You will be hearing from my lawyer.Goodbye.Q1:What is the woman complaining about?Q2:What is the problem the woman’s family encountered?Q3:What has caused the so-called“bizarre technical detail”according to the man?Q4:What did the woman say she would do at the end of the conversation?Conversation TwoW:How do you feel about the future of artificial intelligence? Personally,I feel quite optimistic about it.M:[5]AI?I’m not so optimistic,actually.In fact,it’s something we should be concerned about.W:Well,it will help us humans understand ourselves better.And, when we have a better understanding of ourselves,we can improve theworld.M:Well,one thing is for sure:Technology is evolving faster than our ability to understand it.And in the future,AI will make jobs kind of pointless.W:[6]I think artificial intelligence will actually help create new kinds of jobs which would require less of our time and allow us to be centered on creative tasks.M:I doubt that very much.Probably the last job that will remain will be writing AI software.And then eventually,AI will just write its own software.W:At that time,we’re going to have a lot of jobs which nobody would want to do,so we’ll need artificial intelligence for the robots to take care of the old guys like us.M:I don’t know.[7]There’s a risk that human civilization could be replaced by a superior type of digital life.AI will be able to completely simulate a person in every way possible.In fact,some people think we’re in the simulation,right now.W:That’s impossible.Humans can’t even make a mosquito. Computers only have chips.People have brains and that’s where the wisdom comes from.M:[8]Once it’s fully developed,AI will become tired of trying to communicate with humans.As we would be much slower thinkers incomparison.W:I’m not so sure.A computer is a computer and a computer is just a toy.M:[8]Computers can easily communicate incredibly fast,so the computer will just get impatient talking to humans.It will be barely getting any information out.W:Well,I believe there’s a benevolent future with AI.I also think you watch too many science fiction films.Q5:What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?Q6:What will new kinds of jobs be like,according to the woman?Q7:What is the risk the man anticipates?Q8:What is the man’s concern about AI technology?Section BPassage1To achieve financial security,how much you save is always more important than the amount you earn or how shrewdly you invest.[9]If you are under30years old,your goal should be to save20%of your monthly income after tax deductions.This is irrespective of how much you earn.Approximately50%should be reserved for the essential like food and accommodation.Through mainly30%is for recreation and entertainment.[10]But for many young people,it’ll be difficult to designate such a large proportion of their income for savings.[10]If you find it hard to save any money at all,start up by cutting all unnecessary spending,allocate at a tiny amount of1or2percent for savings,and gradually increase that amount.Always keep that20%goal in mind for prevent yourself from becoming complacent.It can be challenging to stick to such a strict plan.But if you adopt the right mindset,you should be able to make it work for you.[11]So,what should you be doing with the money that you saving? Some must be kept easily accessible in case you need some cash in emergency.The largest proportion should be invested retirement plans. Either for the young employer or privately.[11]And you can keep some money for high risk but potentially lucrative investments.Dividends can be re-invested or used to purchase something you like.By following this plan,you should hopefully be able to enjoy your life now,and still be financially secure in future.Q9What are people under30advised to do to achieve financial security?Q10What should people do if they find difficult to follow this speakers’advice on their financial plan?Q11What does the speaker think is important for achieving financial security?Passage2I work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends,mainlybecause I’m aware that we live in an image-obsessed world.[12]However,when I first started my job,occasionally I’d catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts,and find myself thinking that I looked a total mess. Was I being held back by my choice of clothing?The sure answer is yes, especially when clients are quick to judge you on your style rather than your work.[13]But no one can be unique with their outfit every day.I mean that’s why uniforms were invented.So,here’s what I did.I created my own uniform.To do this,I chose an appropriate outfit.Then I bought multiple items of the same style in different shades.Now,I never worry about what I’m wearing in the morning even if I do get a bit tired of just wearing the same classic pieces.[14]Overall,when it comes to work,you have to ask yourself:will looking smarter enhance my ability to do my job?For some,this question may not be an issue at all.Especially if you work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients face to face.[14]But if your job involves interacting with other people,the answer to this is often yes.[15]So rather than finding a system,I think we should just do whatever help us to achieve our goals that work.If that means playing a safe with your image,then let’s face it.It’s probably worth it.Q12:What do we learn about the speaker when she first started her job?Q13:Why were uniforms are invented according to the speaker?Q14:What does the speaker say about looking smarter?Q15:What does the speaker advise people do in an image obsessed world?Recording1Did you know that Americans have approximately three times the amount of space we had50years ago?Therefore,you'd think we'd have sufficient room for all of our possessions.On the contrary,the personal storage business is now a growing industry.We've got triple the space, [16]but we've become such enthusiastic consumers that we require even more.This phenomenon has resulted in significant credit card debt, enormous environmental footprints,and perhaps not coincidentally,our happiness levels have failed to increase over the same half century.I'm here to suggest an alternative–that having less,might actually be a preferable decision.Many of us have experienced,at some stage, the pleasure of possessing less.I propose that less stuff and less space can not only help you economize,but also simplify your life.I recently started an innovative project to discover some creative solutions that offered me everything I required.By purchasing an apartment that was 40square meters instead of60,I admittedly saved$200,000.Smaller space leads to reduce utility bills,and also a smaller carbon footprint. Because it is designed around an edited collection of possessions, limited to my favorite stuff,I'm really excited to live there.How can we live more basically?Firstly,we must ruthlessly cut theunnecessary objects out of our lives.To extend consumption,we should think before we buy,and ask yourselves,"will it truly make me happier?"[17]Obviously,we should possess some great stuff,but we want belongings that we're going to love for years.[18]Secondly,we require space efficiency.We want appliances that are designed for use most of the time,not for occasional use.Why own a six-burner stove when you rarely use even three burners?Finally,we need multifunctional spaces and housewares.I combined a movable wall with transforming furniture to get more out of my limited space.Consider my coffee table.It increases in size to accommodate ten.My office is tugged away,easily hidden.My bed simply pops out the wall.For gas,I can relocate the movable wall and utilize the foldable guest beds I installed.I'm not saying that we should all live in tinier apartments,but consider the benefits of an edited life.When you return home and walk through your front door,take a moment to ask yourselves,"could I do with a little life editing?Will that give me more freedom and more time? Q16:What has prevented Americans happiness levels from increasing? Q17:What things should we possess according to the speaker?Q18:What do we learn about the items in the speaker's home? Recording2Now,believe it or not.People sometimes lie in order to maintain agood honest reputation,--even if it hurts them to do so.At least,this is what a team of scientists is suggesting,with evidence to prove it.Picture this scenario:You often drive for work and can be compensated for up to400miles per month.Most people at your company drive about300miles each month.But this month,you drove 400miles.How many miles do you think you'd claim in your expense report?[19]The scientist asked this exact question as part of the study we’re discussing today.With surprising results,they found that12%of respondents reported the distance they drove as less than the actual figure,giving an average answer of384miles.In other words,they lied about their number of miles,even though they would forfeit money they were owed.The researchers believe this was to seem honest,with the assumption being that others would be suspicious of a high expense claim.[20]But why would people fabricate numbers to their own detriment?The researchers explained that many people carry a great deal about their reputation and how they’ll be judged by others.If they care enough,they concerned about appearing honest and not losing their respect of others.Maybe greater than their desire to actually be honest.The researchers assert that they find a new suggest that whenpeople obtain very favorable outcomes.They anticipate other people's suspicious reactions and prefer lying and appearing honest to telling the truth and appearing as selfish liars.So why is this research important?Well,experts generally agreed there are two main types of lie,selfish liars and liars that are meant to benefit others.The first,as you may predict,is for selfish gain,such as submitting a fraudulent claim to an insurance company,while the second involves lying to help others or not offend others.For example,telling a friend whose outfit you don’t like that they look great.But the researchers are suggesting a third type of lying,lying to maintain a good reputation.Now this hypothesis is new and some skeptics argue that this isn’t a whole new category of lie.[21]The findings seem intuitive to me.After all,one of the main motivations for lying is to increase our worth in the eyes of others,so it seems highly likely that people will lie to seem honest.Q19:What did the team of scientist find in their study?Q20:Why would people fabricate numbers to their own detriment according to the researchers?Q21:What does the speaker think of the researchers’findings? Recording3[22]Why do old people dislike new music?As I’ve grown older,I often hear people my age say things like they just don’t make goodmusic like they used to.Why does this happen?Luckily,psychology can give us some insights into this puzzle.Musical tastes begin to crystallize as early as age13or14.By the time we’re in our early20s,these tastes get locked into place pretty firmly.[23]In fact,studies have found that by the time we turn33,most of us have stopped listening to new music.Meanwhile,popular songs released when you’re in your early teens are likely to remain quite popular among your age group for the rest of your life.(23) There could be a biological explanation for this,as there’s evidence that the brain’s ability to make subtle distinctions between different chords,rhythms,and melodies deteriorates with age.So to older people, newer,less familiar songs might all“sound the same.”But there’re maybe some simpler reasons for older people’s aversion to newer music.[24]One of the most researched laws of social psychology is something called the“mere exposure effect.”,which in essence means that the more we’re exposed to something,the more we tend to like it.This happens with people we know,the advertisements we see and, the songs we listen to.When you’re in your early teens,you probably spend a fair amount of time listening to music or watching music videos.Your favorite songs and artists become familiar,comforting parts of your routine.For many people over30,job and family obligations increase,so there’s less time to spend discovering new music.Instead,many will simply listen to old,familiar favorites from that period of their lives when they had more free time.Of course,those teen years weren’t necessarily carefree.They’re famously confusing,which is why so many TV shows and movies revolve around the high school turmoil.[25]Psychology research has shown that the emotions that we experience as teens seem more intense than those that come later.And we also know that intense emotions are associated with stronger memories and preferences.Both of these might explain why the songs we listen to during this period become so memorable and beloved.So there’s nothing wrong with your pare nts because they don’t like your music.Rather it’s all part of the natural order of things.Q22.What does the speaker mainly discuss in this talk?Q23.What have studies found about most people by the time they turned33?Q24.What do we learn from one of the most researched laws of social psychology?Q25.What might explain the fact that songs people listen to in their teen years are memorable and beloved?【答案】：C)Her claim has been completely disregarded.【解析】：考察视听一致，选项核心词与文本内容一致，且第一组问答出题，符合顺序原则。

He was the first black principal dancer at Covent Garden in London. He is famous around the world and in his home country of Cuba he is a national hero.Carlos now travels the world but always sees Cuba as his home. All his family are still there. In Cuba he is n’t a foreigner. He says that in Cuba a child learns to dance first and then to speak. He talks about the heat and the sea, about dance and music and happiness.“Cuba is always going to be my home. In my heart, that’s the only country, you kn ow, and becau se that’s where all my relatives are, my memories, you know, and this is the only place I’m never going to be a foreigner. You learn how to dance first; then you learn how to speak, you know, in Cuba. It’s something that’s been passed on thro ugh generation to generation. And it’s also, you know, the heat, and the tropic (tropics), and the sea and … it’s … it’s almost, that’s what it’s asking for, dance and music and happiness.”Carlos was born in Havana, the youngest of 11 children in a poor family. He oft en missed school. He was a champion breakdancer in the streets but didn’t want to be a professionaldancer. When he was nine, his father sent him to a ballet school. Carlos hated it. He told his father he wanted to do something else.“So I … I did tell him many times that I didn’t want to be … and that I wanted to … to do something else – football, you know –but he didn’t want to hear it. So, I went and … But thank God he didn’t want to hear it because thanks to that I’m here now.”At ballet s chool, Carl os wasn’t always a good student and didn’t want to be a dancer. But when he was 13, Carlos saw the Cuban National Ballet and he loved it so much that he changed his mind about ballet.

That year he won four major dance competitions and became famous all over the world.Now he is an international star and he dances in many countries, but he still goes home to Cuba several times a year to visit his family.Speaking for communicationRole-playScriptsI = Isabel; M = MarekPart 1I: Hi, Marek.

Could you tell us about your childhood?W: Yes, of course. I was born in a small town in the northeast. My father was a truck driver and my mother worked part-time in a hospital. I have a brother and a sister. We all went to the same local school.I: You wrote your first novel just one year after you left college, didn’t you?W: Yes, that was in 1993. I was only 22 then. And the next year I went to Brazil.I: Is that period of your life related to your later career in any way?W: That’s a good question. You see, it was my experience there that inspired my film Lost in the Forest, although I didn’t actually make that film until several years later, in 2008.I: When did you start making films?W: In 2003. That was after I gave up farming.I: Farming?W: Yes. I stayed in Brazil for 7 years, during which I met my wife. After we came back we bought a farm in the south of the country. A kind of experiment, really.I: That sounds interesting. Why did you give it up then?W: It was very hard work.

We were supposed to meet at the bar for drinks, and then go to the cinema. But they never showed up. M: Sorry. I’ve been home since I came back from the office and the phone never rang once. Q: Where does the conversation probably take place?Conversation 2M: Not all great people are famous; take Jack Kilby as an example.W: Right. Jack Kilby invented the microchip, and received the Nobel Prize. But only a small part of the public knows of him. It’s very surprising.Q: What does the woman think is very surprising?Conversation 3W: I don’t quite understand what made Charlie Chaplin such a popular movie star.M: Are you serious? Look at Charlie Chaplin’s works and compare them to other films of the time.He was so original that people were really surprised by his films.Q: What does the man say about Charlie Chaplin’s films?Conversation 4W: What’s the greatest invention of the last few hundred years?M: Let’s see.

Can you think of any fun things for us to do?M: You guys should go see the new Harry Potter movie!W: That’s a great idea! J. K. Rowling is such an inspiration. I just watched an interview with her on BBC news. Did you know her first book was rejected by 12 different publishers? Everyone told her to get a different job, and that she wouldn’t be able to make any money by writing children’s books. M: Yeah, it’s hard to believe that o nce she was really poor but now she’s so wealthy. She came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a café in London …no, wait, I think it was a bookstore in Manchester … right?W: Haha, almost! It was actually on a train between Londonand Manchester. But sh e did write in cafés a lot. She could only write when her baby daughter was sleeping, so she took her on long walks around the neighborhood to get her to fall aslee p. She would usually end up in a café and write as much as possible before her baby woke up again.M: Did J. K. Rowling say what she’s going to write next in her interview? I can’t wait to see what she will write after her Harry Potter books!W: No. She keeps her future plans a secret. Personally, I hope she writes more magic stories, with flying horses and lots of animals!M: Not me. I hope she works on more serious material. I’d love to read stories with historical settings and big battle scenes!Q1: What does the man suggest that the woman do this weekend?Q2: Where did J. K. Rowling come up with the idea for Harry Potter?Q3: What are J. K. Rowling’s future plans?Q4: What are the two speakers mainly talking about?Passage 1ScriptsStephen Glenn is a famous research scientist. When he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person, he responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old.He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his hold on the bottle and it fell, spilling milk all over the kitchen floor. When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him, giving him a lecture orpunishing him, she said, “What a wonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. You know, Stephen, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and bring everything to its proper order.” So toget her they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “What we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water, and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about.Q1: What happened when Stephen tried to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?Q2: What did Stephen’s mother do when she came into the kitchen?Q3: What did Stephe n’s mother teach him later?Q4: What did Stephen learn from this experience?Passage 2Scripts and answersThere are so many changes when a person comes to college. Some of the new college students may have been to camps or 1) programs away from home befor e, but for some it’s the 2) very first time they’ve left home. That means having to make certain 3) decisions that they’ve never really had to make before.Besides some basic everyday activities, for example, eating and 4) doing laundry, there are many more important matters, such as whom to become friends with. “And what happens if I don’t do well on my first test? Does that mean I should ch ange fields?” 5) Obviously, there are just so many issues new college students have to face. It’s really a jump from high school.It’s such a change when they don’t have any parents around. They need to make 6) choices with their studies, and with their social lives. They need to learn how to act in the right way so that they can enjoy their social lives without 7) ruining their studies.This is very common to college students in the first year. It takes alittle while for them to 8) get used to their college life and learn to balance their studies and social lives. There are a lot of 9) opportunities for students to try new things. There are so many new ways to meet other people on campus. If they find out it’s not working for them, they can 10) step back and try something else. They should just give it a go! That’s the way everybody learns to grow up.Unit 2 A break for funListening to the worldSharingScriptsF = Finn; M1 = Man 1, etc.; W1 = Woman 1, etc.Part 1F: I love films. I love going to the cinema.

I’ve got a beach hut up here to stay in, and I’vegot the key.V: One man said it was like sleeping in the back garden.M2: It’s like opening your back door, going down to the end of your garden, getting in your shed with your baby and wife, and then calling it a holiday. V: You can stay in a hut, but most people here sleep in tents. There are a lot of different people here –families, young people, older people. We asked: Why do so many different people come to festivals?W1: Well, I suppose it gives everybody a chance just to be themselves, and just to be free and be away from their normal jobs.W2: People will respect each other and have ... um … sort of some of those old-fashioned traditional values, but actually values that everyone really likes.M3: The thi ng I always think about festivals is they’re just playgrounds for grownups.V: And, of course, there’s one reason everyone’s here: the music. This really is a festival for all the community, young and old mixing together.In the tea tent these women are having a great time.

It's so different from Sydney, where I live. Lingling: Now I'm fascinated. Tell me about the differences, as you see them. Richard: Well, Sydney's a younger city than Beijing. Beijing has a lot more inhabitants and is much more crowded.Lingling: Yes, we certainly have a huge population, like most Chinese cities. Richard: It's very exciting, as a result. And there's so much construction going on. Lingling: I know, we're growing very fast. For example, I don't think we have as many freeways as Sydney does, but we soon will!Richard: I believe you! I think there are fewer tourists in Beijing—at least for now.And I get the feeling that Beijing's less dangerous.Lingling: Yes, there's probably a lot less crime here.Richard: What about the climate? I think Sydney has less rain.Lingling: Yes, we can get a lot of rain in July and August.Richard: I've noticed! It's pouring at the moment!Lingling: The good thing about the rain, of course, is that it washes the pollution away.Richard: I've noticed that too. We don't have as much pollution as you do. Lingling: That's because you have less industry. The air can get quite polluted here...Ok, so that covers a lot of the differences. But are there anysimilarities?Richard: Oh yes...for example, I notice the wealth and the energy.Lingling: Sorry, I didn't get that.Richard: The wealth and energy. I think there are as many rich people here as in Sydney... and I think your city is just as lively as mine.Lingling: That's good to hear. So shall we go out this evening and find some of the action?Module 3Reporter: I'm standing in the centre of Plymouth, the capital of Montserrat, where just one week ago, a volcanic eruption took place. With me is FrankSavage, the governor of the island. Mr. Savage, thank you for talking tous.Savage: You're welcome.Reporter: What exactly happened last week?Savage: Well, the volcano erupted, and ash and lava poured down the mountain towards the sea. Unfortunately, there are several villages in its path. Reporter: That's terrible. Was anybody hurt?Savage: No. Luckily, we had plenty of warning and I told people who lived in the path of the ash and lava to leave the island. We managed to get half thepopulation to another island before the eruption took place.Reporter: Why are you still here?Savage: Well, I'm still working because there's a lot to do.Reporter: How many people live on the island?Savage: Eleven thousand people live here and about six thousand people have left. Reporter: Which areas are the most dangerous?Savage: Well, the most dangerous places are between the volcano and the sea.There are a lot of villages there. And it was very dangerous. Sadly,hundreds of houses caught fire when the lava reached them. Reporter: Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that.Savage: Thankfully, no one was killed.Reporter: Are the houses still on fire?Savage: No. Fortunately, we put all the fires out quite quickly.Reporter: That's very good news. Well, it's a beautiful sunny day here in Plymouth.Does this mean that the danger is over?Savage: No! The volcano could erupt again! People must understand that it is still very dangerous and they can't go back to their houses.Reporter: OK—so that's the message from the governor —don't go back to your houses. When will people be able to return home?Savage: We don't know at the moment. Hopefully, it won't be too long. Reporter: Thank you for your time, Mr. Savage.Savage: Thank you.Module 4(int=interviewer)Int: David, what do you see as the main problems with the environment?D.U: Well, in a nutshell, the most urgent problem of all is the climate. The world'sclimate seems to be getting warmer.Int: We've seen a lot of evidence of that, haven't we? Hotter summers, warmer winters, that kind of thing.D.U: Yes, we have. Also, scientists have found that the ice at the Poles is beginningto melt.Int: We've heard that too. Is that really happening?D.U: Yes, I'm afraid it is. And at sometime in the future, the ice may meltcompletely. Then it's possible that the sea could rise and coastal cities like New York and Shanghai could disappear under water.Int: It sounds very frightening.D.U: I couldn't agree with you more. It's scary!Int: Can you explain why the climate's getting warmer?D.U: Well, I'll do my best! It's pollution that's the problem. Gases from cars enter theatmosphere and stop the sun's heat from leaving the atmosphere. And factories give out chemicals that do the same thing. So as a result, the climate is getting warmer.Int: From what I understand, carbon dioxide from cars is a major problem.D.U: You're absolutely right. Carbon dioxide is the gas that does most damage to theatmosphere. But we have a problem with trees too. You see, trees give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. So they're very useful because they use up the carbon dioxide.Int: I know what you're going to say. We're cutting down all the trees.D.U: Yes, we cut them down because we need the land and because we use thewood for paper and furniture. That leaves more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.Int: It's a terrible situation.D.U: Yes, and another problem is all the garbage that we produce. We burn a lot ofgarbage, and once again, the gases pollute the atmosphere. The situation couldn't be worse, really.Int: We should recycle garbage, not burn it.D.U: Of course we should.Int: It's strange, we know all this, and yet we do nothing but talk about it. I can't help but feel very concerned.D.U: Yes, well, it is worrying. But governments are beginning to do somethingabout it. I don't think it's too late.Module 5China has given the world many important inventions. To give an example, it is the country in which silk was first invented. Silk was made there as long ago as 3200 BC. Chinese farmers grew mulberry leaves because they knew that a certain kind of caterpillar ate them. The Chinese did not tell other countries how silk was made and other countries paid a lot for this soft, strong material.Su Song was an eleventh century monk about whom very little is known. However, we do know that in 1092 AD he invented the first real clock. For the first time ever, it became possible to tell the time. In the 1950s a copy was built and this copy can be seen today in Beijing.They say that a man called Cai Lun made paper from the bark of a tree in about 105 AD. If so, he is a man of whom China can be proud. Paper was a very important invention because it was cheap and people could afford to buy it. Before that time, writers had used expensive materials such as silk. The invention was immediately successful.

In today’s business world, supply is usually greater than demand.

As a result, they started to go abroad in groups, to places suchas Spain and Greece. Once they arrived at their destination, they met withother groups of young people and had one long party.British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climatechange means that the UK now has a hotter climate, so people do notneed to go overseas t o find good weather. Also, going abroad is moreexpensive. As a result, more British people are choosing to spend theirsummer holidays in the UK.2012年Eco-tourismNowadays many of us try to live in a way that will damage theenvironment as little as possible. We recycle our newspapers and bottles; we take public transport to get to work; and we try to buy locally produced fruit and vegetables. And we want to take these attitudes on holiday with us. This is why alternative forms of tourism are becoming popular in the world. There are lots of names for these new forms of tourism: responsible tourism, nature tourism, adventure tourism, educational tourism and more.Although everyone may have a different definition, most people agree that these new forms of tourism should do the following: first, they should conserve the wildlife and culture of the area; second, they should benefit the local people; third, they should make a profit without destroying natural resources; and finally they should provide an experience that tourists want to pay for.2013年What is a dream forOne theory is that we dream to release the deep, secret desires. We do not express these desires in real life because o f the rules of polite society. Another theory is that dreams allow us to solve problems that we can’t solve in real life. We go to sleep with a problem and wake up with the solution. This may be a way to use our dreams rather than a purpose of dreaming. If you believe that your dreams are important then analyzingthem may help you to focus on the problem and help you to find thesolution.The modern image is that dreams are the brain’s way of cleaning up hard disk. Dreams organize the events of the day intothe computer’sfolders and delete what is not needed.
