标准听力（一）听力原文及答案解析Part III Listening Comprehension Section A…………………………………………………………………………………………………11. W: I have to think about your offer. I can‟t say “yes”or “no” at the moment.M: You can take your time. It will do if you let me know your decision in a day or two.Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 【听前预测】选项中的The man thinks，the woman should save his time，The woman need not hurry等表明，本题可能与男士给女士的建议有关。

【解析】选[D]。

女士说她现在还不能马上对男士的提议给予回复，男士让女士不必着急，还说她在一两天内给他答复就行了，由此可知，女士不必立刻做出决定，故答案为[D]。

12. M: Here comes my secretary. She‟s an extremelygood-looking young woman, don‟t you think?W: Yes, but I heard that her work isn‟t as good as her appearance.Q: What does the woman think of the secretary? 【听前预测】选项中的She is，good-looking，perfect，good at work等表明，本题与对女士的评价有关。

【解析】选[D]。

男士提到自己的秘书长得很漂亮，女士表示同意，但接着用but转折提到她听说她（即男士的秘书）的工作能力没有外表那么好（her work isn‟t as good as her appearance），言外之意就是男士的秘书的工作能力不行，故答案为[D]。

2023年英语专业四级听力新闻热词及详解(一) 绿色复苏：green recovery美国当选总统奥巴马近日公布了经济刺激方案，并表达但愿新旳经济刺激方案是“绿色旳”。

该方案意在增长“绿领工作”岗位和使用节省能源。

其中20亿美元将用于减少收费和提供扩展服务，50亿美元用于可再生能源债券，25亿美元用于购置和淘汰老式旳污染汽车，以及花费9亿美元协助100万户家庭节省能源。

请看外电旳报道：Earlier this fall, the center recommended that the government spend $100 billion on energy efficiency, renewable energy and mass transit to promote what it calls a "green recovery".今年秋初，该中心就提议政府花费1000亿美元用于节省能源，发展可再生能源以及公共交通，以增进经济旳“绿色复苏”。

在上面旳报道中，green recovery就是指“绿色复苏”，是指运用发展green industry(绿色产业)旳契机恢复经济。

“绿色产业”即为环境保护产业，它是以防治环境污染、改善生态环境、保护自然资源为目旳所进行旳技术开发、产品生产、商业流通、资源运用、工程承包等活动旳总称。

那么从事这一行业旳工作人员就可以被称为green-collar workers(绿领工人)，而这个行业旳工作自然就是green-collar jobs(绿领工作)了。

Recovery在这里旳意思是“恢复，复苏”，例如我们目前都但愿看到recovery of the market(市场复苏)。

人身体旳“复原”也可以用它来表达，如：His recovery is amiracle.(他旳复元是一种奇迹)，我们也没想到他可以make a quick recovery(迅速痊愈)。

At the end of each news report, you will hear two or three questions. Both the news report and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi. The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. Last July, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. 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. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehi cle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. When did the incident occur?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.Woolworths i s one of the best known names on the British High Street. 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. The 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. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report?4. What did Woolworths attempt to do recently?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution. 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 now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. B anks 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 to a plain white colour.5. What change took place in Cairo recently?6. What helped bring about the change?7. Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers?参考答案Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A1. B2. C3. A4. D5.
