In return we make suggestions to them as to what they should do. In other words, we put forward an idea for them to consider. In this exercise we are going to focus on various ways of making suggestions in English.Now listen to the recording and complete the conversation.A: Linda, I want to buy Tom a pet for his birthday. What shall I give him? Could you give me some suggestions?B: Why don’t you buy him a dog? Dogs are so friendly.A: Yes, I know. But he has got a dog.B: How about a rabbit? Rabbits are lovely.A: But Tom doesn’t like rabbits.B: Have you thought about buying him a bird?A: He hates birds.B: Then you can buy him some tropical fish. They are pretty.A: That’s a good idea. Where can I get them?B: The market. Shall we go right now?A: All right.Useful Expressions for Making Suggestions●Don't you think we should (take the dog for a walk)?●Shall we (get some dog food from that store)?●Why don't we (buy Johnny a pet for a gift)?●Why don't you (leave your dog to your neighbor while you're on holiday)?●Why not (feed the cat now)?●How about (buying some tropical fish)?●What about (building a hutch for the rabbit)?●You'd better (clean up the rabbit hutch).●If I were you I'd (go and buy a parrot in the market).●Have you thought about (having a dog for company)?●I was wondering if you’d ever thought of (buying Jimmy some gold fish for his birthday).●I think it might be a good idea to (buy him a pet mouse. He was born in the year of the rat).Listening StrategyDetecting Liaison in Connected SpeechIn connected speech words are not spoken separately. The final consonant of a word is often linked to the first vowel of the next word. This is called liaison. Liaison occurs most often with the sound /r/. When a word ending with "r" or "re" goes beforea word beginning with a vowel sound, the sound /r/ is usually pronounced as a link.Listen to the recording and supply the missing words in the following blanks.1. Nowadays more and more people keep animals like dogs and cats as pets.2. Some people would be interested in a dog care center.3. An average day at Dog Ma costs a dog owner about 25 dollars.4.This is a big help for those dog owners who do not drive.5.Dogs are friendly but they need to be fed and taken out for a walk every day.6.Grandma doesn’t want a bird for a pet because birds make a lot of noise and a lot of mess.Part BPre-listening TaskQuestions for DiscussionYou are going to talk about animals and pets. Read the following questions and discuss them with your partner.1.Do you or your family keep pets? Why or why not?2.What animals or birds do you think are good as pets?3.What are the positive effects of having a pet to the owner? (Consider, for example,companionship, the healing power of pets.)4.What is the negative side of keeping animals as pets?5.What do people do with their pets when they are away from home?6.Do you have any solution to the problem?7.Have you ever heard of Dog Ma? Can you guess what Dog Ma stands for?Demo:2. What animals or birds do you think are good as pets?I think the best animal we can keep at home is cat. A cat, especially a white cat, is my favorite. Cats are relatively clean and quiet. They don’t eat much and they are clever. What’s more, the owners don’t have to walk their cats in the early morning when most people are still sleeping in bed. So we often see people walk their dogs in the morning, but never see anyone walk their cats.4. What is the negative side of keeping animals as pets?As the saying goes, there are always two sides to a coin. The bad thing about keeping a pet is that the owner has to spend a lot of time and sometimes money on the pet. A pet can cause different kinds of trouble, too. As it is an animal after all and you cannot always expect it to understand or keep the rules of human beings. Another bad thing is that, when animals become people’s pets, they lose their freedom.Language Focus●Here are some useful sentences and structures that you might find handy in discussing theabove questions:●I've got a dog /cat /hamster / turtle / at home.

Hundreds of thousands of dog owners hate to leave their dogs alone every workday. So they take their furry friends to a dog day-care center in the Washington area. There the dogs play with other dogs and the workers. They also play with toys and they can rest in comfort.Rebecca was a successful high level official at a big company but she did not find her job very satisfying. Her working hours kept getting longer and longer. She felt very guilty about leaving her two dogs inside the house for long periods of time. She knew she was not the only dog owner in Washington in this situation. She felt other people would be interested in a day-care center for dogs. So in 1998 Rebecca left her company and opened Dog Ma near the United States Capitol Building. Since then the business has grown to include one part-time and four full-timeworkers. One worker lives at the center.On a normal day, about 30 dogs are at the center. About 25% of them are younger than one year old. An average day at DogMa costs a dog owner about 25 dollars.Dog Ma also offers extra services. Dogs can stay overnight when their owners go out of town. Owners can pay to have their dogs washed and their fur and nails cut. The center also offers dog training and even transportation to and from the center. That is a big help for those dog owners who do not drive.Language and Culture Notes1. Background information Westerners like keeping animals, especially dogs, as pets. Dogs are considered very good and loyal companions to their owners. Stories abound about how they bravely saved their owners in dangerous and difficult situations and what healing power pets can have. However, dogs need to be fed and taken out for a walk several times a day. It is very difficult for owners who work long hours to take care of their pets. Some owners in American cities employ professional dog walkers to take their dogs out for exercise and recreation. These people often have five or even ten dogs at one time on leashes. Dog owners also feel sad to leave their pets at home while they go on holiday. So the idea of a day-care center for dogs has caught on and business at such centers is booming.2. The Capitol Building The building that houses the U.S. Congress3. furry friend Referring to the dog. “Furry” means covered with “fur”, which is the thick, short, soft hair of certain animals such as dogs and bears.Exercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1.

He suffered a heavy loss of blood.ScriptThe Missing Cat and the Injured DogAnimals, especially cats and dogs, are often kept as pets and they can be very good friends of humans. Here are two true stories about a cat and a dog.At Jesus College, Cambridge University, concerns are growing for the safety of a pet cat which has gone missing.Students and lecturers of the college have not seen college cat Benson for three weeks. The 600 students at the college have been asked to search their rooms and keep an eye open for him. The grey and white cat has become an institution at the college. He is officially a member of the college, an honor which includes dining rights. He is well known for wandering in and interrupting tutorials.A spokesman for the college says appeals for help in tracing Benson have not produced any information. He urges anyone who might see the cat to contact the college.In Lexington, Kentucky, a dog, named Jo Jo, was hit by a car. His master Steve Ford searched frantically for him but Jo Jo was nowhere to be found. Ford called the local animal hospital to tell them that Jo Jo had been injured and that he was going to bring him in if he could find him. That's when he found out Jo Jo was already there."He just checked himself in, I guess," Ford said.After the accident, Jo Jo apparently ran about a mile from Ford's home to the animal hospital. He suffered bruises but no broken bones.Part DTest Your ListeningA PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.When animals make long journeys across places where there is no food or shelter, such as deserts or oceans, it is very important that they should be able to find their way accurately.Birds find their way by the stars at night, and by the sun during the day. People thought that this was impossible. Then some scientists made an experiment. They put some migrating birds in cages inside a planetarium. When the operator turned the artificial sky round, the birds began to fly to the sides of the cages. Every time he moved it, the birds moved to a new position. Scientists discovered that they always flew toward the direction in which they would have flown if the skyhad been real. This proved that they could see the stars and respond to them.Many animals, especially birds, have a very precise sense of time, which is called their "internal clock". In cloudy weather, birds delay setting off on long journeys, but if the cloud lasts for a long time, they must go at last, to complete their migration in time. In such conditions, they are able to steer by following the magnetic field of the earth. We could say that they have their own special compass inside them, which tells them the right direction to go.Most migrating animals travel in groups, sometimes in very large numbers. This makes it more likely that they will find the right way, especially when the group has experienced animals which have made the journey before.1. What is the passage mainly about?a. How animals find their way in migration.b. What scientists did to discover the truth about how birds find their way in migration.c. Why some animals like to travel in groups.d. What "internal clock" means.2. What was proved by the experiment mentioned in the passage?a. Birds could tell the difference between the real sky and the artificial sky.b. Birds have a built-in clock inside them.c. Birds could see the stars and would move when the stars change positions.d. Birds always flew towards the south.3. What do migrating birds do if cloudy weather lasts for a long time?a. They set off on their long journey, relying on their internal clock.b. They put off their long journey until the weather clears.c. They follow experienced birds which have made the journey before.d. They follow the magnetic field of the earth for direction.4. How do most migrating animals travel?a. They travel in family groups.b. They travel on clear days and nights.c. They travel together in large numbers.d. They travel independently.。

I have to admit that I'm a big fan of Discovery Channel which shows the recent development or findings in science and technology. I can still remember one issue of the program about the Mood Landing. It's really fascinating. I think Discovery Channel does produce some of the best documentaries in the world.6. What role do radio and TV play in your life?TV and radio are an integral part of my life. I don't read newspapers and I rely heavily on radio or TV to keep me informed. I watch the news on TV every evening or listen to the news while having a dinner. What's more, the radio and television present various kinds of programs. They present programs of sports and entertainment. We can enjoy listening to different forms of music and songs on the radio and watch the live broadcast of sports events and the reports of adventures in the mountains and unknown lands. Educational programs of different kinds are presented on the radio and television as well. These programs are very informative. There are lectures and discussions on the latest science and arts subjects.Language FocusHere are some sentences and structures that you might find handy in discussing the above questions:●Radio and TV connect us to the outside world / tell us what is happening near and far /shortens the distance between us and the outside world.●I listen to news / English news / music / story-telling / sports / talk of the day / economicnews on the radio while I'm getting up / having breakfast / on my way to class / before I go to bed ….●I like to leave my radio on while I'm reading / working on my homework / waiting for a bus /riding on a train …●I enjoy listening to / watching …program most.

In this way, radio is more imaginative because it forces you to form pictures in your own mind rather than providing you with visual information, which is what television does.In addition, radio is more flexible than television, since you don't have to be in the same room as the radio set in order to listen to the programs, but you do have to be in the same room as a television in order to watch it.A radio is also far more portable than a television. You can listen to the radio while driving in the car, jogging or even just walking around. Although portable televisions do exist, you can't really watch one while you are jogging, for example.One of the main advantages of radio, however, is that it offers the listener more immediate access to information. Most radio stations broadcast news reports at regular half-hour or hourly intervals, but television news is only broadcast a few times each day. Also, the variety of topics you get on the radio is much greater than that on television.Radio is more personal than television. Many radio programs are interactive in a way that television can never be. Listeners can call the radio station they are listening to and express their thoughts and opinions live on air. You can't ring up a television station and express your opinions, can you?Language and Culture Notes1.Background information From its appearance at the beginning of the 20th century, radio had been a major provider of news and entertainment until television came into being. The early models of the modern television appeared in the 1920s but its popularity did not begin until after World War II, especially until after color TV became available in the 1960s. Today TV sets are much more sophisticated. Not only are they attached with remote control, but they can be hooked to VCR, VCD, DVD and even to the Internet. So it is not surprising that more and more people now watch TV to get news, sports, and a great variety of entertainment. Yet television cannot completely replace radio. Many people still like radio because of its compactness in size. Radio also survives as a major part of a tape recorder, a hi-fi and a necessary component of a car. To adapt to the invention of TV, radio has also made great changes in its system, and in the way it presents programs. The stereo system, for example, is successful in winning music lovers to radio programs.2. portable television A television set about 3" in size and can easily be carried or moved3. at regular half-hour or hourly intervals(the program is broadcast on the radio) every half hour or every hour4. Many radio programs are interactive …Program hosts or hostesses can get immediate feedback from their listeners and they can discuss a topic on the air. With TV, however, audience interaction is more difficult. The usual way is to send out a TV crew to bring in live coverage of people's response to some event.5.live on air Listeners' thoughts or opinions can be heard on the radio at the moment they are spoken rather than later on a recording.Exercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What is the passage mainly about?a. The advantages of radio over television.b. The difference between radio and television.c. The changes made to radio programs.d.

A year ago the Benson family decided that they were spending too much time in front of the box. So they got rid of it. And they have been living without a television for almost a year now. How have they been spending their free time then?“We found it very hard for the first few weeks,” says Mrs. Benson. “We didn’t k now what to do with our free time. But since then it’s been fine. We’ve done so many things that we hadn’t done for such a long time. Last year, for example, we didn’t go out to the cinema or the theatre once, but this year we’ve seen at least a dozen films and plays. And I’ve even joined the local drama society.Mr. Benson has taken up tennis. Daughter Emily has been learning to play the piano and son Mark has been going to judo (柔道) classes. And they’ve all read more books. Mark said, “This year I’ve read about ten novels and five or six other books, too.”So haven’t they missed the box at all? Emily says she has had a few problems: “I don’t like it when I go to school and all the kids are talking about a program that they’ve seen. Actually, I’ve just bee n watching a program at my friend’s house.”Nevertheless, according to Mr. Benson, “We’ve all started doing so many interesting thingsthat we wouldn’t have time to watch TV now.”Part DTest Your ListeningA Compound DictationListen to the passage three times and supply the missing information.There are different 1) types of media today.

The person who 7) presents a program or a show on radio or TV is a host or hostess but the one who hosts a popular music program is called a disk jockey or DJ. 8) News programs may be hosted by an anchor, either a man or a woman, who is sometimes more famous than the people in the news. In more traditional news programs, the news is read by a newsreader.There are many broadcasting organizations in a country and competition among them is serious. 9) Most TV and radio networks want to increase the size of their audience, or their ratings. Good ratings are especially important during prime-time, the time of day when most people watch TV. This is not surprising as high audience figures attract more advertising or commercials to be shown in commercial breaks between programs. And 10) the broadcasting organization that can attract most advertising makes most money.。

Different ways can be used to ask for information from different people.Listen to the conversations and write down answers to the following questions.1. He wants to know where he can buy a good painting.2. He found out how much the dress cost as well as where he could buy it.3. She suggests that the man buy a tie for his cousin.Script1.

Oh, yes, the re’s a new gallery, down on Green Street, that deals with art of all kinds.M: Oh, I know where you mean.Q: What information does the man want to get?2. M: Hi, Mary. You look great!

In most cases if people need some information from others, they can ask directly. Most people are very polite when they ask a stranger about something. They ask by saying “Excuse me, could you…?” “I wonder if you could tell me…” “Could you tell me…?” Between friends, it is quite all right to say simply “Tell me…” or use the question words “what, where, when, how, etc.” to get the information they need.

So if one is lucky enough to be called for an interview, good preparation beforehand is necessary. Find out as much as possible about the job and cons ider how one’s qualifications and experience can be related to it. More people also think that appearance counts in an interview, so they will choose their interview clothing with great care.During the interview, it is good policy to show interest to the questions raised by the interviewer and answer every one of them politely, truthfully and convincingly. At the close of the interview, the applicant may ask some questions about such matters as the salary and benefits, or if there is a training program.2. part-timers people who do part-time jobs.

My Last Trip AbroadI went to Europe last summer. It was a great experience for me. I visited many famous cities and saw many ancient buildings. I took lots of photos and bought many souvenirs. The food there was fantastic, too. I especially liked the seafood. Of course, I had some difficulties with language, but I managed to communicate with the local people because I had learned some basic expressions before the trip. All in all, it was a wonderful trip that I will never forget.。

Unit 4 Going to a PartyPart ACommunicative Function Controlling 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. Everyone seems to be having a good time.M: They do, don’t they? By the way, do you know that girl talking to Jack?W: Who?Oh, that’s Mary. She lives in our dormitory.M: She’s p retty. Don’t you think so?W: Yes, and clever too. One of the best students in her class, I believe.M: Do you know her well?W: Quite well, shall I introduce you to her?M: That’d be nice2. 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.Useful Expressions for Controlling and Changing a ConversationControlling a Conversation●I see.●Yeah.●Yes.●Hmm.●Well…●Sure.●Really.●No kidding!●Imagine that!●Like what?●Don’t you think so?●Well, let me see…●Let me think for a minute.Changing a Conversation●By the way…●Co me to think of it…●Speaking of…●And another thing …●Something else I’d like to know is…●This may sound like a dumb question, but I’d like to know…●To get back to our talk…Notes1.Expressions such as “yeah; yes; hmm…” help control a conversation, indicating that you arelistening and you want the other person to continue the conversation. The expressions “Really?”, “No kidding”, “Imagine that!” etc. can do the same job, but indicate surprise.2.“By the way…” and “Come to think of it…” are expressions we use wh en we try to changethe subject of a conversation.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.Once a week.2.Twice a week .3.Daily. .4.Every other day .5.Four nights a week .6.Never .Script:1. M: How often do you read China Daily?W: I seldom read it. I only read it once a week.Q: How often?2. W: Do you play tennis very often?M: Not very. About twice a week.Q: How often?3. M: Do you often clean your bedroom?W: We clean it everyday.Q: How often?4. W: How often do you listen to English broadcasts?M: Quite often. I listen every other day, I guess.Q: How often?5. M: Does Jenny work in the lab very often?W: Four nights a week.Q: How often?6. W: Do you watch sports programs on Saturday nights?M: No. I enjoy going dancing and meeting friends at weekends.Q: How often?Part BPre-listening TaskQuestions for DiscussionYou are going to talk about your experience of going to parties. Read the following questions and discuss them with your partner.1.Do you like going to parties? Why or why not?2.When was the last time you were invited to a party? What was it like?3.Do you worry about anything before going to a party? (e.g. What to wear? Who to go with?)4.Would you like to talk to people you don’t know at a party? Why or why not?5.What is small talk? Are you good at it?Demo:2. When was the last time you were invited to a party? What was it like?I was invited to a Christmas party last month by a group of foreign teachers. They had prepared some drinks, candies and cakes. The party room had been decorated with a Christmas tree with some shining sparkling articles hanging down from the top. After we entered the room, we exchanged some small talks with foreigners and then we sang Christmas songs together. The atmosphere was light and friendly.5. What is small talk? Are you good at it?Small talk is a light conversation on unimportant or non-serious subjects. I used to think that small talk is meaningless and a waste of time, so I didn’t bother to learn how to handle small talk. Now I have a different view of small talk. I find it quite useful for the purpose of communication, especially in social gatherings. That’s why I’m tryi ng to improve my skill at small talk.Language FocusHere are some useful sentences and structures that you might find handy in discussing the above questions:●I like / love going to parties.●I don't care for parties. They're too noisy.●Parties are great fun. There are always a lot of interesting things to do.●I love meeting new people and making new friends at parties.●I always worry about what clothes to wear.●I'm worried that there might be a lot of people I don't know / that others might think I'mboring.●I never know what to say to people I don't know.●I'm too shy to approach somebody I don't know.●I never worry about anything so I always have a good time.●We may use small talk to approach someone we don’t know at a party.●Small talk usually covers topics of general interest, such as the weather, new movies,TV shows, headline news, local events, or school.●These topics are very good conversation starters.Listening TasksA Conversation Small Talk Is EasyWord Banksuper a. wonderful 极好的coach v. to teach, to advise 指导，辅导tip n. advice; suggestion 提示，忠告relax v. to feel less worried 放松，别紧张serious a. not joking 当真的，不是开玩笑的Guess what? used before you tell sb. sth. that will surprise them. 你知道吗？(在打算告诉别人一件事时说)ScriptSmall Talk Is EasyA: Mike, guess what?B: What?A: Carol just invited me to a party at her house on Saturday.B: Carol? You mean the pretty girl in your economics class?A: Yeah.B: Great! I’m sure you’ll have a super time.A: I’m not so sure.B: What do you mean, John? I thought you really liked Carol.A: I do. But I don’t know her friends very well.B: So get to know them.A: But I’m no good at small talk.B: Small talk is easy. You can learn.A: By Friday?B: Sure. I’ll coach you. You just have to remember a few simple sentences.A: I don’t know. I have trouble remembering things. Especially when I meet people. I get nervous. B: Don’t worry, John. You can do it. 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, is it? Well, I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the tips, Mike.B: You’re welcome. Have a good time at the party.Language and Culture Notes1. small talk Light conversations on unimportant or non-serious subjects such as the weather or TV programs that you saw last night, or little compliments on what people are wearing. In a social gathering where a lot of guests are strangers to one another, small talk can be very useful to make them feel at ease.2. Carol just invited me to a party. Carol has just invited me to a party. In informal speech, Americans very often use the past tense instead of the present perfect tense. You will often hear "Did you have lunch?" rather than "Have you had lunch?"3. But what if I say something stupid?But what will happen if I say something uninteresting, boring, or unsuitable for the occasion? What if = what will/would happen if?4. You can talk about the weather In many countries, the weather is an appropriate topic to strike up a conversation with someone, even with a stranger. However, people normally add some kind of personal evaluation to the description of the weather. For example, they would say “It’s raining terribly hard today, isn’t it?” Here, “terribly hard” shows the speaker’s feelings about the weather.Exercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What are the two speakers talking about?a. How to interest people at a party.b. How to give speeches to people at a party.c. How to engage in small talk with people at a party.d. How to find out what people are interested in at a party.2. What do you learn about John from the conversation?a. He sounds nervous and unsociable.b. He sounds boring and stupid.c. He sounds forgetful and nervous.d. He sounds humorous and interesting.3. What is Mike doing?a. Showing sympathy.b. Expressing opinions.c. Offering comments.d. Giving advice.Exercise 2: Listening for detailsListen to the recording again and write down answers to the following questions.1. Where and when will the party be held?At Carol’s house on Saturday.2. What is John uncertain about?He’s uncertain whether he can have a good time at the party or not.3. What is his problem?He’s not good at small talk.4. In order to avoid being a boring person, what should one talk about at a party according toMike?One should talk about something other people are interested in.5. How can one find out what other people are interested in?By getting them to talk about themselves.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.Part C Additional ListeningA Conversation Are You Calling About the Party?Listen to the conversation and answer the following questions.1.Why does Simon make this call?He calls becau se he can’t attend Laura’s party.2.Who will come to see Simon?Some of his friends are coming from Scotland to see him.3.After going to the opera, what will Simon do?He will take his friends out to dinner.4.What does Laura say that Simon can do later?She says that Simon can drop in later with his friends.ScriptAre You Calling About the Party?Laura: Hello.

You did get the invitation, didn’t you?Simon: Yes, thanks, I did. That’s just it, I’m afraid. You see, I’m already tied up that evening. Laura: Oh, really? That’s a pity.Simon: Yes.

全新版大学英语第二版听说教程1听力材料教材听力材料及原文全新版大学英语〔第二版〕听说教程1Unit 1 Studying EnglishPart municative Function Greetings and IntroductionsPeople greet each other when they meet.And in meeting new people it is common to introduce oneself and be introduced by others.This exercise focuses on different ways to greet people and to make introductions. Listen to the recording and complete the following conversations.1. Bill: Hi, Mary.Mary: Hi, Bill. How are you doing? Bill: Good, thanks. And you?Mary: Just fine, Bill. I'd like you to meet my classmate, Bob Smith.Bob, this is my friend, Bill Jones. Bill: Hello, nice to meet you.Bob: Nice to meet you, too.2. Linda: Excuse me, are you Paul Johnson from London?I'm Linda Blake from Smith and Wells.Paul: Yes, I am Paul Johnson. How do you do, Miss Blake?Linda: How do you do, Mr. Johnson? May I introduce Charles Green to you?He's our sales manager. Paul: Pleased to meet you, Mr. Green.Mr. Green: It's a pleasure to meet you.3. Jack: Mum, I've brought one of my friends. Mother: Ask him in, Jack. Jack: Come and meet my family, Tom. Mum, this is Tom, my roommate. Mother: Hello, Tom. It's good to know you. Tom: How do you do, Mrs. Brown? Jack: And this is my sister, Jane. Listening StrategyDetecting Incomplete PlosionIn connected speech when a plosive consonant like /k/, /g/, /t/, /d/, /p/, /b/is followed by another consonant, it is not fully pronounced.This is called incomplete plosion.Listen and read after the recording,paying attention to the letters in italics.1. Laura is one of the top students in Grade One.2. Ted likes to sing English pop songs.13. Listening is not a big problem for me.4. Frank can speak six languages fluently.5. I'd like to read novels and short stories in English.6. Bob's strong local accent makes it difficult for us to understand him. Part BListening Tasks A PassageTalking About Studying EnglishExercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.At a gathering of students from China and some other countries,Yang Weiping and Virginia Wang, both first-year college students,are talking about their learning of English.Hello, my name is Yang Weiping.I'm a freshman at Peking University and I'm majoring in chemistry.At college we have to study a foreignlanguage.I choose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV.I also like British and American pop songs.Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several years ago and I'm getting better at it.My favorite activity is listening,especially listening to songs and stories.My big problem is, however, speaking.I feel nervous whenever I speak.And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me.But I've decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.Hi, my name is Virginia Wang.I'm a library science major at theNational University of Singapore.In our country, English is important.It is one of the official languages and you have to be fluent in English to get a good job.I've been studying English since high school.I'm good at reading because I like learning about new things and new ideas.There are so many books and articles written in English.Our textbooks at the university are in English, too.I know writing is also very important,but I find it reallydifficult.When I graduate from theuniversity,I would like a job in the city library where I can read all kinds of new books.Questions1. Which of the following would be the best title for the two talks?2. Who are the speakers?Exercise 2：Listening for details2Listen again and complete the table according to the information you get from the recording.Speaking Tasks Pair 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 conversationsby replacing the underlined parts with your own words. Conversation 1 A: 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 C Additional Listening A 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 understood3something.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 Listening Short 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. M: Excuse me, is this the French Department?W: No, it's the English Department.The French Department is in the new building opposite the school library,right beside the German Department. Q: What's the man looking for?4. W: Good morning, Professor Wang.Could I talk to you about my paper now?M: I have a class in a few minutes.How about coming to my office after four tomorrow afternoon? Q: When will the woman see the professor?5. W: Tim, why are you late for class again?You were late yesterday and the day before yesterday.M: I'm sorry, Miss. 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 Language Part 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.4Listen 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 whiles 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 1930.53. 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. PartBListening Tasks A PassageHow to Improve Your Conversation Skills Exercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and then do the following.To speak to people in a foreign language requires courage andwillingness to make errors.Some people are so afraid 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 gosmoothly.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,\say that again? I didn't catch it.\please?\polite way.\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 Tasks Pair Work6Listen 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 Listening A 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.7How 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 toimprove 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 thefrowning 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 Listening A 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 \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 \expression \Today, you might hear a husband say, \going to have a baby, I was beside myself with joy.\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 somethingstrange. You may \from a container. A lid on a cooking pot, for example, keeps the heat from8escaping. To flip something is to turn it over. So when you \you become so excited that you lose your self-control.Questions1. What condition does the expression \2. What is meant by the expression \3. What does the passage mainly discuss?全新版大学英语〔第二版〕听说教程1Unit 3 School Life Part ACommunicative Function Expressing 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 Strategy Identifying 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. Mr. Davis lives at 1540 Water Street.4. It usually takes about 75 minutes to get to the airport from here.5. The new coat cost me 156 yuan.96. The Tower of London is more than 900 years old.7. Mr. Baker has been working in the City Bank of New York for two years. He now has an annual income of $ 84.200.8. New York is 1,735 miles away from here.9. Please get to the Shanghai Museum no later than 9:40.10. The clock in the reading room must be fast. It's 5:45 by my watch. Part BListening Tasks A ConversationAccommodation for College StudentsExercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.R: Good morning. Can I help you?S: Yes, please. I'm a new student and I'd like to have some information about the ...em... accommodation for students.R: Right. 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. This will apply throughout this academic year.S: I'd like to stay in the self-catering accommodation. How far is it from the residence to the university?R: It all depends. 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. The university runs an Accommodation Information Office and its staff will help you.S: Where's the office?10R: In the Students' Union Building. S: Whom can I contact?R: Mr. Underwood — David Underwood, the manager of the Accommodation Information Office. S: Thank you very much.R: You are welcome. Questions1. What does the conversation mainly tell us?2. Which of the following is not included in the conversation?Exercise 2：Listening for detailsListen to the recording twice and fill in the blanks in the following passage with the missing information. Speaking TasksPair WorkListen to the conversations and repeat after the recording. Practice 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: I hear you're moving into the new student apartment building. B: Actually, I moved into it last week.A: Aren't you lucky! I applied for it, but they told me there was no vacancy.B: What a pity! You should have applied earlier. Places in apartment buildings are always so limited. A: I guess so.B: But why don't you rent an apartment near school?A: Oh, no. I like living on campus. It's more convenient, isn't it? B: Yes, that's true. Come and see me if you have time. I'm in 302. A: I will. See you. B: See you. Conversation 2A: Good afternoon. Can I help you?B: Yes. I wonder if you have a one-bedroom apartment to rent. A: Let me check. Yes, we have one. B: Where is it?A: It's on Maple Street, near a shopping center and a subway station. B: Sounds nice. Which floor is it on? A: Fourth.B: Does it face south?11A: Well, the bedroom faces east and the living room west. But it looks out on a beautiful park.B: Mm. Is the living room large?A: Yes, it's quite big. And there's a small kitchen and a bathroom as well. It's very comfortable.B: Well, what's the rent per month? A: 800.B: Mm. 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 Listening A 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 atconventions. 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 Listening A 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 the12guy 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 yourroommates 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.

Read the following questions and discuss them with your partner.1.When did you start learning English? How long have you studied it?2.Do you like English? Why or why not?3.What do you think of studying English? Is it interesting or boring? Difficult or easy? Givereasons.4.Which accent do you prefer, American or British?5.What is your purpose of studying English?Demo：1. When did you start learning English? How long have you studied it?I started learning English when I was 9 years old. At that time, learning English was a fun. We didn't have any modern equipment like MP3 or radios and we didn't have a good English teacher either. In class we just repeated after the teacher who spoke English with a heavy accent. As she didn't know the International Phonetic Alphabet, she even asked us to use Chinese characters to mark the English sounds. Ten years has passed since I learned to speak the first English word.4. Which accent do you prefer, American or British?Well, I don't have any preference. When I speak English, I don't have to sound like an American or British. All I have to do is speak clearly, so that people can understand me. Actually, young people in Britain find the American accent attractive while young people in the US like British accent. In this aspect, movies play an important role. Many young Americans like to imitate the accent through movies. They think the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent. For example, many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak.Language FocusHere are some useful sentences and structures that you might find handy in discussing the above questions:⏹I've studied English for about / more than nine years.⏹I started learning English five / several years ago / in primary / high school.⏹I find English rather difficult / interesting / useful / quite different from Chinese.⏹I find English grammar rather confusing / difficult to understand / beyond me.⏹I prefer an American accent to a British accent / I like the British accent better.⏹English is an international language / one of the most widely used languages in theworld.⏹ A good command of English will help me greatly in my study and work.⏹Good English means more chances and opportunities in the job market.⏹With English I can get access to a huge amount of useful information.Listening TasksA Passage Talking about Studying EnglishWord Bankl. freshman n. a student in his first year at a university or college 大学一年级学生2. major v. to specialize (in) 主修n. a student specializing in a certain subject 主修某科目的学生3. nervous a. worried or slightly frightened 紧张的4. overcome v. to get over 克服5. shyness n. the state of being timid or uncomfortable 害羞6. official n. authorized 官方的7. fluent a. able to speak a language easily and without many pauses 流利的8. article n. a piece of writing on a particular subject 文章Language and Cultural Notes.1.

After we entered the room, we exchanged some small talks with foreigners and then we sang Christmas songs together. The atmosphere was light and friendly.5. What is small talk?

In a social gathering where a lot of guests are strangers to one another, small talk can be very useful to make them feel at ease.2. Carol just invited me to a party. Carol has just invited me to a party. In informal speech, Americans very often use the past tense instead of the present perfect tense. You will often hear "Did you have lunch?" rather than "Have you had lunch?"3. But what if I say something stupid?But what will happen if I say something uninteresting, boring, or unsuitable for the occasion? What if = what will/would happen if?4. You can talk about the weather In many countries, the weather is an appropriate topic to strike up a conversation with someone, even with a stranger. However, people normally add some kind of personal evaluation to the description of the weather. For example, they would say “It’s raining terribly hard today, isn’t it?” Here, “terribly hard” shows the speaker’s feelings about the weather.Exercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1.
