He makes friends instantly. Not only do people like him, plants do, too. People call his house the Plant Hospital. They take their dying plants to him and in two weeks the plants look great. Four years ago, he decided to move to Chicago and work with computers. Most people would begin by going to a computer school at home before making such a move. Not Simon. He went directly to Chicago and applied for lots of computer jobs —a field he knew nothing about. In the interviews, he studied exactly what employers wanted. With that knowledge, he created a perfect self-study plan and got a good job one year later. Now he lives where he wants, does what he wants, has great fun, and makes a lot of money.Section 11 Listen and ConcludeSimon is the kind of guy who is good at everything.

Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson announced hisfindings after months of trial. He said Microsoft uses its power to illegally block competition.Judge Jackson later ordered that Microsoft be divided into two smaller businesses. The Microsoft Corporation quickly appealed Judge Jackson’s ruling to a Federal Court.Last week, the Federal Appeals Court ruled on the case. It said Microsoft Corporation was guiltyof creating a company that used its power to block competition. The seven Appeals Courtjudgesagreed with Judge Jackson that Microsoft limited creativity in the computer industry and harmed thepublic. They said that Microsoft was guilty of violating several federal laws.However, the Federal Appeals Court also said the WashingtonD.C. court must reconsider itsorder to divide Microsoft into two smaller companies. The federal court dismissed Judge Jackson’sdecision. The Appeals Court judges accused Judge Jackson o f not being fair during the MicrosoftTrial. They severely criticized him for comments he made about Microsoft and its chairman to reporters during the trial.The Federal Appeals Court also said Judge Jackson repeated these mistakes several times. It saidthe public would lose its trust in a legal system that permits judges to speak their opinions to reportersduring a trial.Legal experts say both the federal government and Microsoft can claim small victories with theFederal Appeals Court ruling. The experts say government lawyers were able to prove that Microsoftis guilty of violating federal laws. At the same time, Microsoft can claim a victory because it may nothave to divide into two smaller companies.Legal experts say government lawyers and the lawyers for Microsoft must now choose one ofthree different possible paths. First, either side could appeal the Federal Court’s decision to the Supreme Court. Or, they could request a new trial before a different lower court judge to consider someofthe unresolved legal questions. A third choice is for both sides to reopen negotiations to try to settlethe case privately. Such efforts failed during the Clinton Administration.Bill Gates is the head of Microsoft Corporation. He says it is now a good time for all the groupsinvolved to discuss the situation and see what kind of solution could be negotiated.Most legal experts believe that the Microsoft Company and government lawyers will come to an agreement during future negotiations. They say Microsoft may be punished by being forced to pay money.Task 7【答案】News Item 1A.1) It will send Destiny into Orbit.2) It is a scientific research laboratory.3)Destiny is the most technologically complex research center ever put into space.4) Over one billion dollars.5)It will last eleven Days.6) The will make three walks in space to attach the laboratory to the International Space Station’s Control Centre.News Item 2B.News Lead: The first laboratory has been connected to the International Space Station.1) launched, Wednesday, February 7th2)Destiny3) mechanical arm4) a linking device5) protective clothing, complete work【原文】News Item 1In space news.The space shuttle Atlantis has taken off from Cape Canaveral,Florida.

Sheand her children see the many things that belonged to him around the house, but he is gone.“Into the Fire” is about one of the hundreds of police, firefighters and rescue workers who diedin the terrorist attacks. The song honors the love and sense of duty he showed that day. It isalso aprayer for the strength and hope that his sacrifice represents.Songs on The Rising also express anger about the attacks. But, the anger is mostly a personalstatement, not a political one. The song “Empty Skies” describes the desire to strike back that a personfeels after a senseless loss.The album’s title song appeals to listeners to come together and heal each other.

Though plants lack brains, the firing of electrical signals in their stems and leaves nonetheless triggered responses that hinted at consciousness, researchers previously reported.But such an idea is untrue, according to a new opinion article. Plant biology is complex and fascinating, but it differs so greatly from that of animals that so- called evidence of plants’intelligence is inconclusive, the authors wrote.Beginning in 2006, some scientists have argued that plants possess neuron-like cells that interact with hormones and neurotransmitters, forming “a plant nervous system, analogous to that in animals,”said lead study author Lincoln Taiz, “They even claimed that plants have “brain-like command centers”at their root tips.”This perspective makes sense if you simplify the workings of a complex brain, reducing it to an array of electrical pulses; cells in plants also communicate through electrical signals.

Answer the questions after each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1People often complain that plastics are too durable. Water bottles, shopping bags, and other trash litter the planet, from Mount Everest to the Mariana Trench, because plastics are everywhere and don’t break down easily. But some plastic materials change over time. They crack and frizzle. They “weep”out additives. They melt into sludge. All of which creates huge headaches for institutions, such as museums, trying topreserve culturally important objects. The variety of plastic objects at risk is dizzying: early radios, avant-garde sculptures, celluloid animation stills from Disney films, the first artificial heart.Certain artifacts are especially vulnerable because some pioneers in plastic art didn’t always know how to mix ingredients properly, says Thea van Oosten, a polymer chemist who, until retiring a few years ago, worked for decades at the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands. “It’s like baking a cake: If you don’t have exact amounts, it goes wrong,”she says. “The object you make is already a time bomb.”And sometimes, it’s not the artist’s fault. In the 1960s, the Italian artist Piero Gilardi began to create hundreds of bright, colorful foam pieces. Those pieces included small beds of roses and other items as well as a few dozen “nature carpets”—large rectangles decorated with foam pumpkins, cabbages, and watermelons. He wanted viewers to walk around on the carpets—which meant they had to be durable.Unfortunately, the polyurethane foam he used is inherently unstable. It’s especially vulnerable to light damage, and by the mid-1990s, Gilardi’s pumpkins, roses, and other figures were splitting and crumbling. Museums locked some of them away in the dark.So van Oosten and her colleagues worked to preserve Gilardi’ssculptures. They infused some with stabilizing and consolidating chemicals. Van Oosten calls those chemicals “sunscreens”because their goal was to prevent further light damage and rebuild worn polymer fibers. She is proud that several sculptures have even gone on display again, albeit sometimes beneath protective cases.Despite success stories like van Oosten’s, preservation of plastics will likely get harder. Old objects continue to deteriorate. Worse, biodegradable plastics, designed to disintegrate, are increasingly common.And more is at stake here than individual objects. Joana Lia Ferreira, an assistant professor of conservation and restoration at the NOVA School of Science and Technology, notes that archaeologists first defined the great material ages of human history—Stone Age, Iron Age, and so on—after examining artifacts in museums. We now live in an age of plastic, she says, “and what we decide to collect today, what we decide to preserve …will have a strong impact on how in the future we’ll be seen.”21. According to Paragraph 1, museums are faced with difficulties in ______.[A] maintaining their plastic item[B] obtaining durable plastic artifact[C] handling outdated plastic exhibits[D] classifying their plastic collectio22. Van Oosten believes that certain plastic objects are ______.[A] immune to decay[B] improperly shaped[C] inherently flawed[D] complex in structure23. Museums stopped exhibiting some of Gilardi’s artworks to ______.[A] keep them from hurting visitor[B] duplicate them for future display[C] have their ingredients analyzed[D] prevent them from further damage24. The author thinks that preservation of plastics is ______.[A] costly[B] unworthy[C] unpopular[D] challenging25. In Ferreira’s opinion, preservation of plastic artifacts ______.[A] will inspire future scientific research[B] has profound historical significance[C] will help us separate the material age[D] has an impact on today’s cultural lifeSection II Reading Comprehensio答案解析：21. [A] maintaining their plastic item22. [C] inherently flawed23. [D] prevent them from further damage24. [D] challenging25. [B] has profound historical significanceTextAs the latest crop of students pen their undergraduate application form and weigh up their options, it may be worth considering just how the point, purpose and value of a degree has changed and what Generation Z need to consider as they start the third stage of their educational journey.Millennials were told that if you did well in school, got a decent degree, you would be set up for life. But that promise has been found wanting. As degrees became universal, they became devalued. Education was no longer a secure route of social mobility. Today, 28 per cent of graduates in the UK are in non-graduate roles, a percentage which is double the average among OECD countries.This is not to say that there is no point in getting a degree, but rather stress that a degree is not for everyone, that the switch from classroom to lecture hall is not an inevitable one and that other options areavailable.Thankfully, there are signs that this is already happening, with Generation Z seeking to learn from their millennial predecessors, even if parents and teachers tend to be still set in the degree mindset. Employers have long seen the advantages of hiring school leavers who often prove themselves to be more committed and loyal employees than graduates. Many too are seeing the advantages of scrapping a degree requirement for certain roles.For those for whom a degree is the desired route, consider that this may well be the first of many. In this age of generalists, it pays to have specific knowledge or skills. Postgraduates now earn 40 per cent more than graduates. When more and more of us have a degree, it makes sense to have two.It is unlikely that Generation Z will be done with education at 18 or 21; they will need to be constantly up-skilling throughout their career to stay employable. It has been estimated that this generation, due to the pressures of technology, the wish for personal fulfilment and desire for diversity, will work for 17 different employers over the course of their working life and have five different careers. Education, and not just knowledge gained on campus, will be a core part of Generation Z’s career trajectory.Older generations often talk about their degree in the present andpersonal tense: ‘I am a geographer’or ‘I am a classist’. Their sons or daughters would never say such a thing; it’s as if they already know that their degree won’t define them in the same way.26. The author suggests that Generation Z should ______.[A] be careful in choosing a college[B] be diligent at each educational stage[C] reassess the necessity of college educatio[D] postpone their undergraduate applicatio27. The percentage of UK graduates in non-graduate roles reflect ______.[A] Millennial’s opinions about work[B] the shrinking value of a degree[C] public discontent with educatio[D] the desired route of social mobility28. The author considers it a good sign that ______.[A] Generation Z are seeking to earn a decent degree[B] school leavers are willing to be skilled worker[C] employers are taking a realistic attitude to degree[D] parents are changing their minds about educatio29. It is advised in Paragraph 5 that those with one degree should ______.[A] make an early decision on their career[B] attend on the job training programs[C] team up with high-paid postgraduate[D] further their studies in a specific field30. What can be concluded about Generation Z from the last two paragraphs?[A] Lifelong learning will define them.[B] They will make qualified educators.[C] Degrees will no longer appeal them.[D] They will have a limited choice of jobs.答案解析：26. [C] reassess the necessity of college educatio27. [B] the shrinking value of a degree28. [C] employers are taking a realistic attitude to degree29. [D] further their studies in a specific field30. [A] Lifelong learning will define them.Enlightening, challenging, stimulating, fun. These were some of the words that Nature readers used to describe their experience ofart-science collaborations in a series of articles on partnerships between artists and researchers. Nearly 40% of the roughly 350 people who responded to an accompanying poll said they had collaborated with artists; and almost all said they would consider doing so in future.Such an encouraging result is not surprising. Scientists areincreasingly seeking out visual artists to help them communicate their work to new audiences. “Artists help scientists reach a broader audience and make emotional connections that enhance learning.”One respondent said.One example of how artists and scientists have together rocked the senses came last month when the Sydney Symphony Orchestra performed a reworked version of Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. They reimagined the 300-year-old score by injecting the latest climate prediction data for each season—provided by Monash University’s Climate Change Communication Research Hub. The performance was a creative call to action ahead of November’s United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, UK.But a genuine partnership must be a two-way street. Fewer artists than scientists responded to the Nature poll; however, several respondents noted that artists do not simply assist scientists with their communication requirements. Nor should their work be considered only as an object of study. The alliances are most valuable when scientists and artists have a shared stake in a project, are able to jointly design it and can critique each other’s work. Such an approach can both prompt new research as well as result in powerful art.More than half a century ago, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology opened its Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) to explore the role of technology in culture. The founders deliberately focused their projects around light—hence the “visual studies”in the name. Light was a something that both artists and scientists had an interest in, and therefore could form the basis of collaboration. As science and technology progressed, and divided into moresub-disciplines, the centre was simultaneously looking to a time when leading researchers could also be artists, writers and poets, and vice versa.Nature’s poll findings suggest that this trend is as strong as ever, but, to make a collaboration work, both sides need to invest time, and embrace surprise and challenge. The reach of art-science tie-ups need to go beyond the necessary purpose of research communication, and participants must not fall into the trap of stereotyping each other. Artists and scientists alike are immersed in discovery and invention, and challenge and critique are core to both, too.31. According to Paragraph 1, art-science collaborations have ______.[A] caught the attention of critic[B] received favorable response[C] promoted academic publishing[D] sparked heated public dispute32. The reworked version of The Four Seasons is mentioned to show that ______.[A] art can offer audiences easy access to science[B] science can help with the expression of emotio[C] public participation in science has a promising future[D] art is effective in facilitating scientific innovatio33. Some artists seem to worry about in the art-science partnership ______.[A] their role may be underestimated[B] their reputation may be impaired[C] their creativity may be inhibited[D] their work may be misguided34. What does the author say about CAVS?[A] It was headed alternately by artists and scientists.[B] It exemplified valuable art-science alliances.[C] Its projects aimed at advancing visual studies.[D] Its founders sought to raise the status of artists.35. In the last paragraph, the author holds that art-science collaborations ______.[A] are likely to go beyond public expectatio[B] will intensify interdisciplinary competitio[C] should do more than communicating science[D] are becoming more popular than before答案解析：31. [B] received favorable response32. [A] art can offer audiences easy access to science33. [A] their role may be underestimated34. [B] It exemplified the valuable art-science alliances.35. [C] should do more than communicating scienceText 4The personal grievance provisions of New Zealand’s EmploymentRelations Act 2000 (ERA) prevent an employer from firing an employee without good cause. Instead, dismissals must be justified. Employers must both show cause and act in a procedurally fair way.Personal grievance procedures were designed to guard the jobs of ordinary workers from “unjustified dismissals”. The premise was that the common law of contract lacked sufficient safeguards for workers against arbitrary conduct by management. Long gone are the days when a boss could simply give an employee contractual notice.But these provisions create difficulties for businesses when applied to highly paid managers and executives. As countless boards and business owners will attest, constraining firms from firing poorly performing, high-earning managers is a handbrake on boosting productivity and overall performance. The difference between C-grade and A-grade managers may very well be the difference between business success or failure. Between preserving the jobs of ordinary workers or losing them. Yet mediocrity is no longer enough to justify a dismissal.Consequently—and paradoxically—laws introduced to protect the jobs of ordinary workers may be placing those jobs at risk.If not placing jobs at risk, to the extent employment protection laws constrain business owners from dismissing under-performing managers, those laws act as a constraint on firm productivity and therefore on workers’wages. Indeed, in “An International Perspective on New Zealand’s Productivity Paradox”(2014), the Productivity Commission singled out the low quality of managerial capabilities as a cause of the country’s poor productivity growth record.Nor are highly paid managers themselves immune from the harm caused by the ERA’s unjustified dismissal procedures. Because employment protection laws make it costlier to fire an employee, employers are more cautious about hiring new staff. This makes it harder for the marginal manager to gain employment. And firms pay staff less because firms carry the burden of the employment arrangement going wrong.Society also suffers from excessive employment protections. Stringent job dismissal regulations adversely affect productivity growth and hamper both prosperity and overall well-being.Across the Tasman Sea, Australia deals with the unjustified dismissalparadox by excluding employees earning above a specified“high-income threshold”from the protection of its unfair dismissal laws. In New Zealand, a 2016 private members’Bill tried to permit firms and high-income employees to contract out of the unjustified dismissal regime. However, the mechanisms proposed were unwieldy and the Bill was voted down following the change in government later that year.36. The personal grievance provisions of the ERA are intended to______.[A] punish dubious corporate practice[B] improve traditional hiring procedures[C] exempt employers from certain dutie[D] protect the rights of ordinary worker37. It can be learned from paragraph 3 that the provisions may______.[A] hinder business development[B] undermine managers’authority[C] affect the public image of the firm[D] worsen labor-management relatio38. Which of the following measures would the Productivity Commission support?[A] Imposing reasonable wage restraints.[B] Enforcing employment protection laws.[C] Limiting the powers of business owners.[D] Dismissing poorly performing managers.39. What might be an effect of ERA’s unjustified dismissal procedures?[A] Highly paid managers lose their jobs.[B] Employees suffer from salary cuts.[C] Society sees a rise in overall well-being.[D] Employers need to hire new staff.40. It can be inferred that the “high-income threshold”in Australia ______.[A] has secured managers’earning[B] has produced undesired result[C] is beneficial to business owner[D] is difficult to put into practice答案解析：36.

Important and difficult points：1. Introduction:Listening comprehension is the receptive skill in the oral mode. When we speak of listening what we really mean is listening and understanding what we hear.In our first language, we have all the skills and background knowledge we need to understand what we hear, so we probably aren't even aware of how complex a process it is. Here we will briefly describe some of what is involved in learningto understand what we hear in a second language.2.Listening Situations：There are two kinds of listening situations in which we find ourselves:·Interactive·non-interactive.Interactive listening situations include face-to-face conversations and telephone calls, in which we are alternately listening and speaking, and in which we have a chance to ask for clarification, repetition, or slower speech from our conversation partner. Some non-interactive listening situations are listening to the radio, TV, films, lectures, orsermons. In such situations we usually don't have the opportunity to ask for clarification, slower speech or repetition.Listen for main ideas. The main ideas are the most important points the speaker wants to get across. They may be mentioned at the start or end of a talk, and repeated a number of times. Pay special attention to statements that begin with phrases such as "My point is..." or "The thing to remember is..."Give your full attention on the person who is speaking. Don't look out the window or at what else is going on in the room.Remember: time is on your side! Thoughts move about four times as fast as speech. With practice, while you are Listening you will also be able to think about what you are hearing, really understand it.Procedure and methods:Step ⅠListen and decode & Listen and respond1. Introduction of some listening skillsInstructions: Help students get to know how to distinguish sound-similar words.2.

大学英语听力1 Unit 4文本和答案

Unit 4Task 1【答案】1) They were orphans and had nobody to support them.2) Each boy was given only one bowl of gruel for supper and no more —far from enough.3) They boys were so hungry that they could not bear it any more. They decided that tone of them must ask the master for more gruel. Olive Twist was chosen by casting lots.4) He never thought that any boy would dare to ask for more food than the given portion. Therefore, he was both surprised and angry on hearing Oliver’s request.5) He was struck on the head by the master and pushed out of the room. And for a week Olive remained prisoner in the cellar.【原文】Oliver Twist had no parents and lived in the workhouse.The room in which the boys had their food was a large stone hall. Each boy was given one bowl of gruel and no more. The bowls never needed washing. The boys polished them with their spoons. But still the boys were hungry.Oliver Twist and the other boys suffered from slow starvation for three months. At last they got so wild with hunger that one of the boys, who was tall for his age, said:"If this goes on, I am afraid I shall eat the boy who sleeps next me." He had wild hungry eyes and the boys believed him. The boys gathered and thought of a plan."One of us must walk up to the master at supper this evening and ask for more gruel," said one boy."Let us east lots," said another. "In that way we shall see who must go up to the master and ask for more."So they cast lots. The lot fell to Oliver Twist. He had to go up to the master and ask for moregruel.The evening came. The boys took their places and quickly ate up their gruel. Then they looked at Oliver. He rose from his place, bowl and spoon in hand, went up to the master and said, "Please, sir, I want some more." The master was a fat, healthy man, but he turned pale."What!" he said at last.Oliver repeated: "Please, sir, I want some more."The master struck Oliver on the head and pushed him out of the room.For a week Oliver remained a prisoner in the cellar.Task 2【答案】A. 1) F 2) F 3) TB.1) d 2) b【原文】Mark Twain was a famous American writer. There were many stories about him. One day Mark Twain was fishing. A stranger came along."Good morning!" said the stranger."Good morning!" said Mark Twain. "Nice weather we're having!""Very nice indeed," said the stranger. "How was fishing?""Very good. I caught three trout here yesterday in just about an hour.""Is that so?" said the stranger."Yes. I'm very fond of trout.""By the way," said the stranger, "do you happen to know who I am?""No, I haven't any idea," said Mark Twain."Well, I'm the game warden of this county," said the stranger. "Fishing is not allowed here."Mark Twain paused a minute. Then he asked:"By the way, do you know who I am?""No, I don't.""Well, I am the biggest liar in the country."Task 3【答案】A.Name: Lewis CarrollOccupation: mathematics; Oxford UniversityLiterary works: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland; 1865;Through the Looking-Glass; 1871B.These stories are about a dream world in which Alice meets strange creatures and has interesting adventures.【原文】Which would you rather be? A mathematician or a writer? Perhaps you will never be faced with this kind of choice. Lewis Carroll was both a mathematician and a writer. He was a lecturer in mathematics at Oxford University. But he is better known as the author of two of the most famous children’ s books that have ever been written: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The author’s real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, but he preferred to use the pen-name “Lewis Carroll” when he wrote Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and this is the name we remember him by.Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was published in 1865, when itsauthor was 33 years old; it was followed by Through the Looking-Glass in 1871. Both books were written for a real girl called Alice, but they have been read by millions of children since they were first published. These stories are about a dream world in which Alice meets strange creatures and has interesting adventures . I’m sure you know thi s already, but if you don’t, you had better read the stories yourselves.Task 4【答案】the Greeks, closed the gates of the city and stayed behind the walls, the Greeks, a huge wooden horse, hide inside it, the horse, they stopped, hid their ships, Greek prisoner, the horse, The Greek soldiers, the wooden horse【原文】Many, many years ago there was a war between the Greeks and the Trojans. The Greek ships sailed up to the city of Troy. When the Trojans saw the Greek ships, they closed the gates of their city and stayed behind the walls. The Greeks attacked the city many times, but could not take it. Then one of the Greeks thought of a plan. The Greeks made a big wooden horse and had some soldiers hide inside the horse. In the morning the Greeks burned their camps and sailed away. Only the big wooden horse remained in front of the city gate.But the Greek ships did not sail far. The Greeks stopped at a place near Troy, where the Trojans could not see them, and hid their ships. At first the Trojans wanted to burn the wooden horse, but a Greek prisoner said, "Don't bum the horse. Bring it into Troy. It will help you."The horse was very big, and the Trojans could not bring it in through the gate. They had to make a hole in the wall. Then they brought the wooden horse into the city. The next day was a holiday in Troy. At night all the Trojan soldiers fell asleep after a heavy festive drinking.The Greek ships came back to Troy in the night. When everything was quiet, the Greek soldiers came out of the wooden horse and opened the gates of the city. The Greek army came into the city, killed many Trojans and took the city.Task 5【答案】A.1) c 2) aB.1) All the animals thought that he was the king of beasts. Actually he was a coward. He was afraid of human beings and other big animals. He roared only to scare them away and never really hurt them.2) Dorothy and her dog wanted to get back to Kansas. The Scarecrow wanted some brains and the Tinman wanted a heart. The Lion wanted to have courage.【原文】The following story has been taken from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum in 1900. The book is a modern fairy tale and is one of the great favorites of American children.One day a tornado carried away Dorothy and her dog Toto from their home in Kansa sand landed them in the wonderful land of Oz. Here they made friends with two strange fellows, a scarecrow and a tin man. The four were now on their way to the Emerald City where the Great Oz lived.Just as the Tinman spoke there came from the forest a terrible roar, and the next moment a great Lion rushed into the road. With one blow of his paw he knocked the Scarecrow to the edge of the road, and then he hit the Tinman with his sharp claws. But, to the Lion's surprise, he could make no mark on the tin, though the Tinman fell over in the road and lay still.Little Toto, now that he had an enemy to face, ran barking towards the Lion. The great beast had opened his mouth to bite the dog. Dorothy feared that Toto would be killed. She forgot all danger and rushed forward. She slapped the Lion upon his nose as hard as she could, and cried out:"Don't bite Toto! You should be ashamed of yourself, a big beast like you, to bite a poor little dog!""I didn't bite him," said the Lion, as he rubbed his nose with his paw where Dorothy had hit it."No, but you tried to," she said in anger. "You are nothing but a big coward.""I know," said the Lion, and he hung his head in shame. "I've always known it. But how can I help it?""I don't know, I'm sure. But how can you hit a stuffed man like the poor Scarecrow?""Is he stuffed?" asked the Lion, in surprise, as he watched her pick up the Scarecrow and set him upon his feet, while she patted him into shape again."Of course he's stuffed," replied Dorothy. She was still angry."That explains it. He really went over easily," said the Lion. "It surprised me to see him turn around so. Is the other one stuffed also?""No," said Dorothy, "he's made of tin." And she helped the Tinman up again."He really hurt my claws," said the Lion. "When they scratched against the tin it made a cold shiver min down my back. What is that little animal you are so kind to?""He is my dog, Toto," answered Dorothy."Is he made of tin, or stuffed?" asked the Lion. "Neither. He's a meat dog," said the girl."Oh. He's a curious animal, and seems really small, now that I look at him. No one thinks of biting such a small, little thing except a coward like me," continued the Lion sadly."What makes you a coward?" asked Dorothy. She looked at the great beast in wonder, for he was as big as a small horse."I don't know," replied the Lion. "I suppose I was born that way. All the other animals in the forest expect me to be brave, for the Lion is everywhere thought to be the King of Beasts. I learned that if I roared very loudly every living thing was afraid and got out of my way. Whenever I've met a man I've been very much frightened; but I just roared at him, and he has always min away as fast as he could go. If the elephants, tigers and bears ever tried to fight me, I would run away — I'm such a coward; but just as soon as they hear me roar, they all try to get away from me, and of course I let them go.""But that isn't right. The King of Beasts shouldn't be a coward," said the Scarecrow."I know it," said the Lion, and he wiped a tear from his eye with the tip of his tail. "It is a great sorrow, and it makes my life very unhappy. But whenever there is danger, my heart begins tobeat fast.""Perhaps you have heart disease," said the Tinman."It may be so," said the Lion."If you have," continued the Tinman, "you should be glad, for it proves you have a heart. For my part, I have no heart; so I can't have heart disease.""Perhaps," said the Lion, "I am a coward because I have a heart.""Have you brains?" said the Scarecrow."I suppose so. I've never looked to see," replied the Lion."I am going to the great Oz to ask him to give me some," remarked the Scarecrow, "for my head is stuffed with straw.""And I am going to ask him to give me a heart," said the Tinman."And I am going to ask him to send me and Toto back to Kansas," added Dorothy."Do you think Oz can give me courage?" asked the Cowardly Lion."Just as easily as he can give me brains," said the Scarecrow."Or give me a heart," said the Tinman."Or send me back to Kansas," said Dorothy."Then if you don't mind, I'll go with you," said the Lion, "for life is hard without courage.""You will be very welcome," answered Dorothy, "for you will help to keep away the other wild beasts. I think they must be more cowardly than you if they allow you to scare them so easily.""They really are," said the Lion, "but that doesn't make me any braver, and as long as I know myself to be a coward I shall be unhappy."So once more the little company set off upon the journey. The Lion walked at Dorothy's side. Toto did not like the Lion at first, because he could not forget how nearly he had been crushed between the Lion's great jaws; but after a time he became more at ease, and before long Toro and the Cowardly Lion became good friends.Task 6【答案】A.1) Civil War2) first, equality3) battlefields, bloodiest4) ordinaryB.1) d 2) c【原文】Walt Whitman is often called the poet of American democracy. He lived during the American Civil War, and he admired President Abraham Lincoln very much.Whitman was the first American poet who wrote about tree equality among all people. In a poem called "Song of Myself" he compared himself to all other people, and he found no difference. He wrote:"...every atom belonging to me... belongs to you."In the same poem Whitman spoke up for women. He wrote:"The Female equally with the Male I sing."He also wrote:"In the faces of men and women I see God." and "A great city is that which has the greatest men and women."Whitman understood war and the results of war. He worked in a hospital, taking care of wounded men. In a description of northern soldiers who had returned from prisons in the south he wrote: "The sight is worse than any sight of battlefields or any collection of wounded, even the bloodiest." In Whitman's words: "The real war will never get in the books."Whitman was the first important American poet to write about ordinary people, using ordinary language.Task 7【答案】A.1) A red, red rose that’s newly spring in June and the melody that’s sweetly played in tune.2) He will love her till all the seas are dried and the rocks melt in the sun. his love will last as long as the sands of life run(there is life on earth).3) Yes, he is, and he will come back no matter how far it is.B.June---tune I---dry sun---run while ---mile【原文】O, my love is like a red, red rose,That is newly sprung in June.O, my love is like the melody,That is sweetly played in tune.As fair are you, my lovely lass,So deep in love am I,And I will love you still, my Dear,Till all the seas go dry.Till all the seas go dry, my Dear,And the rocks melt with the sun!O I will love you still, my Dear,While the sands of life shall run.And fare you well, my only Love,And fare you well a while!And I will come again, my Love,Although it were ten thousand mile!Task 8【答案】1) Tall stories, that is, unlikely ones.2) Because he wanted to be a member of a certain club.3) He went there because he was told that a lion came there each evening to drink water.4) Sixteen times.5) He killed sixteen lions.【原文】A famous French writer who wrote many books about England and the English people once wrote about the Englishman's fondness for improbable or tall stories. In one of his books about the First World War, an English priest tells the following story:He had wanted to become a member of a certain club in Africa. In order to become a member, each person had to shoot at least one lion. The priest had never shot an animal in his life. So, armed with a rifle and accompanied by a young African boy, the priest set out one evening for a pool in the jungle where he was told a lion came each evening to drink. He waited patiently for a few hours until shortly before midnight when he heard a rustling noise. Sure enough a few yards away the head of a lion appeared above a bush that separated the priest and the pool. He aimed and fired. The head of the lion immediately fell behind the bush but a moment later reappeared. So the priest aimed and fired again. The head of the lion immediately fell behind the bush but a moment later reappeared. The priest fired again: the same result. He remained calm because he knew he had brought sixteen bullets with him. After his fourth attempt his aimseemed to become more and more inaccurate. In fact, after his fifteenth attempt the African boy had to warn him, "This is your last chance. If you miss this time, we are in trouble."The priest then realized how serious the situation was, so he took a deep breath, aimed very carefully and fired. They waited a moment, then slowly counted up to twenty: the head of the lion did not reappear. The priest was certain that at last he had shot his lion. They rushed forward together to the spot behind the bush. And what do you think they found? Sixteen lions.Task 9【答案】I. a young prince who lived on landA. rose to the surface of the sea and waited for the prince to come to herB. never cameII. a witchA. changed her fish’s tail into a pair of human legsB. she gave the witch her tongueIII.the prince’s palaceA. her feet hurt terriblyB. didn’t love herⅣ. a young princessA. drive back into the seaB. a spirit of the air and lived forever【原文】Copenhagen is the capital of Denmark. In Copenhagen harbor, you can see a statue of the Little Mermaid. I wonder if you know her story. It's a sad one.That Little Mermaid fell in love with a young prince who lived on the land. Every night she used to rise up to the surface of the sea and sit staring at his palace, waiting for him to come to her. But he never came.Finally she visited a witch. The witch changed her fish's tail into a pair of human legs so that she could go and live on land. But in return, the Little Mermaid had to give her tongue to the witch, so that she could never sing or speak again. She loved the prince so much that she gave it happily.She went and lived in the prince's palace, and every night, she danced for him, although her strange new feet caused her terrible pain. But she didn't mind the pain. She waited and waited for the prince to fall in love with her.But, although the prince liked the Little Mermaid very much, he didn't love her. He fell in love with a young princess and they got married. On their wedding night, the Little Mermaid sadly dived back into the sea. She had no tail now, only legs, and she thought that she would die. She didn't die, though. Because of her kind heart, she became a spirit of the air and lived forever.Task 10【答案】A.1) b 2) c 3) b 4) a 5) aB.No. 1[e] No. 2 [b] No. 3 [a] No.4 [d] No.5 [c]【原文】1) A wolf thought that by disguising himself as a sheep he could get enough to eat. So he put on a sheepskin and joined the flock without being discovered. At sunset the shepherd shut him with the sheep in the fold. Then he felt hungry, so he picked up his knife and killed one of the sheep for his supper. But it was the wolf that he killed.2) A bird in a cage at a window used to sing during the night. A bat which heard her came up and asked why she never sang by day, but only bynight. She explained that there was a good reason: she was caught while she was singing in the daytime, and this had taught her a lesson. "One must be careful before one is caught, not after," said the bat.3) Monkeys are said to have a strange habit. When twins are born to them, the mother will take care of only one of the twins. She will hold it tightly to her breast and neglect the other. But the one taken care of will die because it cannot breathe freely, while the neglected one will grow up strong and healthy.4) A gnat alighted on a bull's horn. After it had stayed there a long time and felt like moving on, it asked the bull if he would like it to go now. "I didn't notice when you came," replied the bull, "and I shall not notice if you go."5) A reed and an olive tree were quarrelling one day. They wanted to see which one was the stronger.

He kept on swimming, and just managed to reach land. By that time it was already evening. Gulliver kept on walking, but by then he was so exhausted that he lay down on the grass, and fell sound asleep.He slept until the following morning. When he woke up, he could not move. His arms and legs were tied to the ground, very firmly, and so was his hair. There were a large number of very fine, thin ropes across his body, he discovered, and these prevented him from moving.Gulliver could just manage to look down his body — that was all he could do —and there he saw, advancing up his body, about forty little men. These little men were only about six inches high. They were dressed as soldiers, and each one carried a bow and arrow. Gulliver shouted out, and when he did this, all the soldiers ran away, though they gradually came back again.Gulliver decided to try to escape. He managed to break some of the ropes, and he was also able to free his head. But when he began to move, the soldiers shot at him with their arrows. These arrows were small but sharp like needles, and they hurt Gulliver. He decided to keep still and when he did so, the soldiers stopped shooting at him with their arrows.By this time Gulliver was feeling very hungry, so he put his finger to his mouth, to show the little people that he needed food. They understood this, and they brought him bread and meat. Gulliver ate all the bread and meat, and then indicated that he was thirsty. Again he was understood, and the people brought him wine. In fact Gulliver drank all the wine that was available — all they had.After that one of the king's officers came up to Gulliver. He spoke to him, and indicated that he had to go to the city, to the capital of the island. This was what the king had ordered. Guliver asked to be set free, but the officer refused. Gulliver again thought of trying to escape, but he remembered those arrows which the soldiers had shot at him, and he decided to do nothing. In any case he soon fell asleep, because of all the wine he had drunk.While he was asleep, the people on the island made arrangements —got everything ready —to take Gulliver to the capital. They managed to get him on a cart which they had built specially to take him to the city. It was seven feet long, and three feet wide, and it had twenty-two wheels in all. It took about three hours to get Gulliver on the cart, and fifteen hundred horses to pull the cart to the city.Task 12Aesop was a very clever man who lived in Greece thousands of years ago. He wrote many good fables. He was known to be fond of jokes. One day, as he was enjoying a walk he met a traveler, who greeted him and said, “Kind man, can you tell me how soon I shall get to town?”“Go,” Aesop answered.“I know I must go”, said the traveler, “but I should Like you to tell me how soon I shall get to town.”“Go,” Aesop said again angrily.“This man must be mad,” the traveler thought and went on.After he had gone some di stance, Aesop shouted after him, “You will get to town in two hours.” The traveler turned around in astonishment. “Why didn’t you tell me that before?” he asked.“How could I have told you before?” answered Aesop. “I did not know how fast you could walk.。

Listening InTask 1: Weather ForecastingWe all know that it’s not possible for man to control the weather. But we can tell what important changes there will be in the weather in the short term. This is called weather forecasting. Many people rely on the weatherman to provide that information, but one method of weather forecasting is simply to use your eyes and brains. For example, if you see a rainbow in rainy weather in the evening, this is a sign that the weather will soon be clear and fine. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near; this is a sign of much water vapor in the air, and then rain will probably come. If a fog appears just about sunrise in the morning, then the day will be arm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If the stars twinkle at night, then fine weather will come the next day.1.B2.D3.C4.A5.DTask 2: Wrong Weather ForecastM: Hey, Jane! Does everyone know what time to meet us this weekend for the picnic?W: Yeah. They’ll all be here at eleven sharp! I’ve got all the food and drinks for the barbecue, and Tom is bringing the grill.M: OK. I’ve got that old net; we can use that for beach volleyball.W: Oh, I forgot to tell you. I’ve invited Class 2 and 3 as well. We’ll be able to have a volleyball match, one class against another; that’ll be great fun.M: Did you check the weather? I hope it’s going to stay nice for the weekend; we can’t have a picnic in the rain.W: No worries! I watched the weather forecast last night, and the weatherman said it’s going to be fine—maybe a little cloudy, but DEFINITELY no rain!(next morning)M: There’s terrible weather! It’s raining buckets!W: There’s no way we can go out in that. Those weatherman are useless—I hope they had a picnic today too.M: I don’t know what’s happened to the weather these days. When I was little, we never had this much rain in the summer. W: I AGREE. And have you noticed that winter is warmer now as well? We always used to get snow in January. Now winter is more like spring!M: You’re telling me. I bet it’s all the pollution and the hole in the ozone layer that’s changing the weather.W: Oh, global warming and all that.M: I guess we’ll have to take a rain check on the picnic.1.They are planning to have their picnic on the weekend.2.They will be able to have a volleyball match, one class against another.3.It’ll be fine, and maybe a little cloudy, but there’ll be definitely no rain.4.Those weatherman are useless.5.All the pollution and the hole in the ozone layer are responsible for the changeable weather.Task 3: Global Climate ChangeToday, scientists have found that the greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere have changed the global climate. These gases are largely due to human activities, such as the burning up of gas, coal and oil, and the destruction of forests. It is estimated that the average surface temperature of the earth will rise by 1.5-3.5℃ by 2100. This rate of warming is significant. The oceans will heat up and glaciers will melt. As a result, the global average sea level is expected to rise by 15-95 cm by 2100. In that case all coastal cities will be at risk as a result of flooding and storm surges. Also, around the world weather events such as storms and floods will become more frequent and intense. Clearly, global climate change is becoming a great threat to our environment. So we must take effective measures to produce fewer greenhouse gases that cause it.Global climate is causes by the greenhouse gases in the lower atmosphere. These gases are largely due to the burning up of gas, coal and oil, and the destruction of forests.

All coastal cities will be at risk as a result of flooding and storm surges. Clearly, global climate change is becoming a great threat to our environment. Task 4: An AnnouncementFriday looks really good. Sunny all day with a daytime temperature of 70 degrees. But bundle up Friday night, as the temperature will drop sharply. On Saturday, it will be cold and cloudy in the morning with strong winds. In the afternoon, there’s a good chance of snow flurries, and the temperature will only reach 37 degrees! On Sunday morning it will be cloudy, with some rain showers in the afternoon. But temperatures will rise to 50 degrees.IV. Speaking OutNow Your TurnLisa: Sarah, would you mind not keeping the window open? All my papers have been blown off the desk and onto the floor! Sarah: I’m sorry. I didn’t realize the wind was so strong. You’re working on a paper?Lisa: Yeah, it has to be turned in this Wednesday.Sarah: Oh, I almost forgot! I’m going to give a presentation tomorrow morning, and I haven’t read a word yet!Lisa: Come on, you shouldn’t leave everything till the last minute.Model 2 It’s terrible!Now Your TurnAshley: Wow! What a wind! It’s terrible, isn’t it, Kathy?Katherine: You bet. There’s a dust storm blowing up.Ashley: Yeah. You could get blinded if you go outside.Katherine: The weather forecaster recommends staying indoors.Ashley: That’s the best we can do.Model 3 Take careNow Your TurnJames: How do you like my new motorcycle, Robert? I’m going to ride it into town.Robert: It’s cool1 But don’t you think it’s snowing too hard today?James: I don’t mind. What I really like is style, and riding a motorcycle is really stylish.Robert: Take care. Safety counts more than style.James: I know. But it’s thrilling to ride in the snow.Robert: Then, you’ll have to run the risk of having a bad fall.V. Let’s TalkEmma: Michael, whereabouts in China are you from?Michael: I was born in Beijing, but I live in Shanghai now. How about you?Emma: I’m from Scotland.Michael: Oh? What’s it like?Emma: Well, the weather is pretty cold there. Actually, most of Scotland is cols and often wet. I’m sure it’s the coldest part of the British Isles.Michael: Beijing is very cold in winter too, although it’s more of a dry cold, if you know what I mean. However, I like winter; it’s my favorite season. Summer is just too hot!Emma: Well ,I think you’re lucky to have a hot summer. Scotland’s summer is pretty miserable, wet and cold.Michael: Do you think people’s personalities are defined by the climate they live in?Emma: Well, that’s an interesting idea. I think there’s definitely something in it, because when the weather is hot, I easily lose my temper, but when it’s cooler, I feel much calmer.Michael: If it’s raining I always feel depressed. I cry along with the weather!Emma: Spring always makes me feel happy; the birds are singing and the whole atmosphere seems cheerful.Michael: Hmm, I agree. I think spring is my favorite season too.Emma: What about the winter blues? What are they?Michael: Well, that means you’re down in the dumps, because the weather’s so gloomy and cold. You feel all sad and blue!I often get them.Emma: Oh, I don’t. I love winter, but I suppose you could say I get the summer reds! I always see red in the hot weather and get into arguments and stuff.Michael: A,B,E,GEmma: c,d,f,hFor ReferenceAA, complain about the awful weather.What awful weather!

They always make such mistakes!A, promise you will never believe the weather forecast.Yeah. How can they be so stupid? I’ll never believe the forecast anymore!B, make a suggestion about what you do today.Forget about it. We can go to see a movie. What do you think?A, say what you think of B’s suggestion.OK, maybe we don’t have other choices.BA, complain about the hot weather.Ugh, I’ve had enough of these dog days. I am sweat all over.B, invite A to swim and take a sunbath.Why not go swimming and take a sunbath with me?A, say you are good at skiing but mot swimming.I am not a good swimmer. I wish I could go skiing in the North.B, persuade A to swim by promising to be his/her guide and lifeguard.Oh, come on. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. I’ll be your guide and lifeguard. Do come with me. Alright?A, give your response to the invitation.No, the sun burns your skin. I’d rather sit before an electric fan eating ice creams.VI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Dust StormsAmerican researchers say dust clouds from dry African deserts may be a threat to human health in the United States. The dust may contain many small organisms that could be dangerous. Each year, huge storms form in the Sahara desert of northern Africa. Winds carry the dust across the Atlantic Ocean. The movement of dust has been increasing in recent years because of longer periods settles in South America. From June to October, the winds change and transport the dust to North America, Central America and the Caribbean. More than half of the dust that reaches the United States settles in the sate of Florida. For many years, it has caused the skies there to turn red. There is probably a link between the dust storms and higher rates of allergies and breathing problems in people in this area.1. human health dust clouds2. the Sahara Atlantic Ocean South America3. October Central America the Caribbean4. the United States Florida the skies5. dust storms allergies breathing problemsTask 2: Mental Energy and SeasonYou may not believe that our mental energy varies from season to season. But some people think that it does. Research has shown that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. Scientists have discovered that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. Spring spears to be the best period of the year for thinking. People seem to be a lot sharper in spring than they are in any other season. One reason may be that in spring people’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in nature. Fall is the next-best season, then sinter. Summer seems to be the best time to take a long vacation from thinking. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of most people tend to be lowest in summer. Be aware of these facts, and you will bring your talent into full play.1.F2.T3.F4.F5.TTask 3: Raining in My HeartThe sun id outThe sky is blueThere’s not a cloud to spoil the viewBut it’s rainingRaining in my heartThe weatherman says fine todayHe doesn’t know that you’ve gone awayAnd it’s rainingRaining in my heartOh misery, miseryOh what’s gonna become of me?I tell myselfMy blues won’t showBut I know that soon all my tears will flowCome a raining downRaining in my heart…。
