英语课堂作业五下听力unit5
英语课堂作业五下听力unit5一、听力材料的总体感受。
哎呀呀，这个五下听力unit5啊，真的是很有趣呢。
一开始听的时候，感觉就像是进入了一个小小的英语世界。
里面的语音语调就像是一个个小精灵在耳边跳舞，有快有慢，有高有低。
有的单词发音特别清晰，就像是在大声告诉你“我在这儿呢”，而有的单词呢，可能因为连读或者弱读，就像是在和你玩捉迷藏，得特别仔细听才能发现它们。
二、听力中的重点单词和短语。
1. 那些容易听错的单词。
- 像“library”这个单词，它的发音其实很有特点，但是如果不注意的话，很容易把“r”的音发得太重或者太轻。
我在刚开始听的时候，就老是把它听成“labrary”，后来多听了几遍，才发现正确的发音是多么的顺口。
还有“usually”这个词，它的读音里有个很微妙的“ʒ”音，就像是一个小漩涡，很容易把人绕进去。
我当时听的时候就在想，这到底是个啥音呀，怎么这么奇怪。
不过慢慢地跟着听力材料多读几遍，也就掌握了。
2. 超实用的短语。
- “read books”这个短语那是相当的基础又实用。
在听力里听到这个短语的时候，就感觉特别亲切，因为这是我们在日常生活中也经常会用到的表达。
还有“do homework”，这简直就是我们学生的日常写照啊。
听到这个短语的时候，我都忍不住笑了，感觉就像是在说我自己的生活一样。
三、听力中的句子理解。
1. 简单句的理解。
- 像“He often goes to the library on weekends.”这样的句子，结构很简单，但是要准确地听出来每个单词并且理解意思，还是需要一些练习的。
我在听的时候，就会在脑海里想象一个小男孩在周末背着书包去图书馆的画面，这样就更容易理解句子的意思了。
而且通过这样的画面联想，也能帮助我更好地记住这个句子的表达方式。
2. 复杂句的应对。
- 当遇到像“She likes reading books because it can make her learn a lot.”这样稍微复杂一点的句子时，我就有点懵了。
大学英语听力5原文
大学英语5听力上海外语教育出版社Lesson 1Part AProblems facing foreign studentsToday I'd like to talk about some of the problems that students face when they follow a course of study through the medium of English--if English is not their mother tongue.The problems can be divided into three broad categories: psychological, cultural and linguistic. The first two categories mainly affect those who come to study in Britain from Asia and Africa. I’ll come to comment only briefly on these two categories and then spend most of the time looking at linguistic difficulties which apply to everyone. Some of the common psychological problems really involve fear of unknown: for example, whether one's academic studies will be too difficult. Looking at the cultural problems, we can see that some of them are very practical nature, for example, arranging satisfactory accommodation. Others are less easy to define.The largest category seems to be linguistic. Let’s look at this in some details. Most students, in their own countries, will have little opportunity to practice using English. Where foreign learners first have the opportunity to speak to an English-speaking person then may have a shock “they often have great difficulty in understanding! I'll just mention three of the possible reasons for this.First, it seems to students that English people speak very quickly. Second, they speak with a variety of accents. Third, different styles of speech are used. For all of these reasons students will have difficulty, mainly because they lack everyday practice in listening to English people speaking English.What can a student do then to overcome these difficulties? Obviously, attend English class and, if a language laboratory is available, use it as much as possible. He should also listen to programs in English on the radio and TV. Perhaps most important of all, he should take every opportunity to meet and speak with native English-speaking people.In addition, the student probably has difficulty in speaking English fluently. The advice here will seem difficult to follow but it's necessary. Firstly, he must simplify what he wants to say so that he can express himself reasonably clearly. Secondly, he must try to think in English, not translate from his mother tongue. This will begin to take place only when his use of English becomes automatic. Using a language laboratory and listening to English as mush as possible will help.I: question:1. What does the lecture mainly discuss? [d]2. What kind of students is the speaker referring to? [b]3. Why do students have difficulties in understanding English speech?[a]4. How, according to the speaker, can foreign students learn to speak English fluently?[b]5. Which of the following statements can be infers from the passage? [c]Part CAt the age of 64 and having only a 1937 diploma from an apprentice training school, I decided to enroll in an new weekend college program at Findley College in Ohio-now the University of Findley. The result is I was granted dual B.A.diploma in 1985 at the age of 69.My degrees are in business administration and information systems analysis, which means computers.My 'excuse' for going to college at that age was to find what I did right in business for 33 years. The second reason was to prove to myself that I was an 'A' student-which I accomplished by making the dean's list the second semester.Because the dean of the college knew that I expected to be treated like any other student. We both laughed about the professor who rushed into the dean's office and explained, 'I have a trustee of the college in my class! what do I do?' when the dean told me about it, my response was, 'I hope you told him to fail me if I didn't do the work.' the dean replied, ‘that is exactly what I told him.'the dean's list : 学院院长公布的优秀学生名单trustee:董事Question: 1. when did the speaker receive his diplomas? [A]2. The speaker received two B.A.degrees after a five-year study at a college. What subjects are these degrees in? [d]3. What was one of the reasons why the speaker went to college? [c]4. Why did the professor feel so nervous when he found the speaker sitting in his class as one of his students? [b]5. What is the main lesson to be drawn from the passage? [b]Lesson2PART AAmerican Marriage CustomsPeople in the U.S., when they attain legal age and meet certain medical requirements, are free to choose their own mates. Once a couple has decided to get married, the man customarily gives the girl a diamond ring. The use of ring comes from the ancient custom of using a ring to settle an important agreement. When the wedding day is decided upon, the girl sends out wedding announcements or friends and relatives. The then sends wedding gifts to the girl’s home.On the wedding day it is supposed to be bad luck for the bride and groom to see each other before the wedding. Another ole custom that people believe will bring good luck to the marriage is for the bride to wear’ something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue’.Before the wedding day the groom always chooses a ‘best man’, a good friend to help him and stand beside him during the wedding ceremony. The custom of having a ’best man’ is thought to have come from ancent times when a strong friend helped the groom escape from the bride’s father.When a couple marries, the groom gives his bride a wedding ring. Many marriages are double ring ceremonies ---that is, the bride and the groom exchange rings. The wedding ring is customarily a simple plain gold band. The roundness of the ring symbolizes eternity and announces that the couple is united for life. The wedding ring is worn on the third finger of the left hand. People believe that a vein from the third finger runs directly to the heart.Near the end of the recepition, which is offered by the br ide’s the parents, the bride throws her bouquet flowers to the unwed bridemaids. The luckily girl who catches it is supposed to be the next in the group to the married. As the bride and the groom leave for their honeymoon, the guests all throw confetti on them. This is a symbol of joy and happiness.I答案1-5c b a c c II 答案“FFFFTPART CIn many homes, divorce is caused by the ‘battle between the sexes’. To understand the problem, one must remember the modern American woman is freed. During childhood and adolescence, the American girl is given freedom and education which is equal to a boy’s. After completing school, she is able to get a job and support herself. She doesn’t have to marry for financial security. She considers herself an independent, self-sufficient person. She wants a husband whom she can respect, but she doesn’t want to be dominated by him. She wants a democratic household in which she has a voice in making decisions. When a husband and wife are able to share decision making, their marriage is probably closer, stronger, and more satisfying. Otherwise, the couple is likely to wind up in the divorce court.When a couple gets divorced, the court usually requires the man to pay his former wife a monthly sum of money. If the couple has children, they usually remain with the mother, and the father is expected to pay for their support.Although divorced is quite common in the United States, 80 percent of those who get divorced remarry. The remarriages allow thousands of people, especially children, to enjoy family life again, but at the same time many troubles have arisen. A well-known American joke tells of a wife calling to her second husband, ‘Quick, John! Come here and help me! Your children and my children are beating up our children!’答案：1-5dbcbdLesson 3PART A Telephone message for Mr. Dawson9:00Amanda Mr. Dawson's office.Jenny oh, it's Jenny.

Almost everyone uses the telephone to make or break social engagements, to say their 'thank yours, to do their shopping and ordering (even from food and drug stores), and to obtain all kinds of information. Telephones are save you feet and endless amounts of time----not to mention multiple bus or subway fares!Different countries put their telephones in different places. in the U.S they are so widespread that you will find them in buses and air terminals, railroad stations, stores, hotels, the lobbies of many office buildings, restaurants and in small booths along streets and highways.It is simple and quick to have a private phone installed. you just call the telephone company and they will come to install it on a special dayby appointment, when it is convenient for you. You fill out a form and pay a deposit of some 40 dollarsfor the phone and, if you are formally employed, you may even be freed from this fee.答案：1-5 d b b a cLESSON4PART A Dr Coleman's Sabbatical LeaveIn the United States a university professor is granted a few months of freedom from his duties approximately every seventh year for travel or advanced study. This period of freedom from teaching is called a 'sabbatical leave'.Few sabbatical leaves are interesting enough to be described in national newspapers and magazines. Recently, however, there was an exception. The public learned how Dr JohnR.Coleman, president of Haverford College. Had spent his sabbatical leave.At the age of 51 Dr Coleman was determined to escape from university life for a few months and to get a variety of experiences in the world of work. He especially wanted to learn about people. People who do hard physical labor were particularly interesting to him.Telling no one of his plans. Dr Coleman started his sabbatical leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up at 4:30 each morning, working thirteen hours a day in fields and barns, he prepared himself physically for his next job, digging ditches, in Atlanta, Georgia, after that, the college president washed dishes in a Boston restaurant, during the last ten days of his leave, and he worked as a garbage collector.This unusual sabbatical leave was conducted in great secrecy. Coleman telephoned his family once a week, ‘just to let some know where I was and that I was healthy.' none of his students or co-workers at Haverford College knew what their president was doing. On each job he avoided letting people know who he was. 'When people would ask me about myself, I’d try to turn the conversation back to them,' he explained. 'Some co-workers might have thought I was a little different, a little quiet maybe, but I doubt anyone knew I was a college president.'There was only one employer who sensed something unusual. 'at a restaurant in Boston, I had been on the job exactly one hour-- I was washing dishes--when the boss came over and said, ‘I’m afraid you won't do.' and handed me two dollars. Immediately I asked him why, but he just said,' it's mot your work. Sorry.'That was the first time in more than thirty years as a job holder that Coleman had heard such words. It helped him understand how a man of his age might feel when he suddenly realized he had lost his job.After two months of working with his hands, Coleman returned from his unusual sabbatical leave, convinced that the experience had been worthwhile. He had some good things to say about people who do hard physical work. ‘a lot of my co-workers would complain when the was too heavy,' he said, 'but they'd complain a lot more when there was nothing to do.'He found that pride and satisfaction came chiefly in the form of praise from co-workers. Even though pay was important, what brought the greatest satisfaction was knowing that someone hadnoticed how a job was being done.At the end of the sabbatical leave Dr Coleman felt that his time had been well spent. He now believes that every young person should be required to spend at least half a year in the world of work before starting university studies.1.what do professors usually do during their sabbatical leave?[c]2.which of the following jobs hadn't Dr Coleman taken during his sabbatical leave?[a]3.how did he feel when the restaurant owner gave him two dollars?[d]4.which of the following is not true about Dr Coleman?[b]5.what can you infer from the passage?[c]PART CI arrived in the United States on February 6, 1991, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend Tom was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at twoo'clock in the afternoon. It was freezing that day but I was too excited to mind. From the airport. Tom drove me to the hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manttan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man made beauty. Tom helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.Shortly after Tom left. I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn't speak a word of English. I couldn't tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures. But the waiter failed to understand me. I was really at a loss what to do. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theaters. Neon lights and huge crowds of people. I didn't feel tired so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. i knew it was impossible. But I wanted to try.When I returned to the hotel. I was exhausted, but I couldn't sleep because I kept hearing the noise and police sirens during the night, I lay awake and thought about New York. It was really a very big and fascinating city with so many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I would learn to speak English.1.when did the speaker arrive in New York?[d]2.what impressed the speaker most on her way to the hotel?[d]3.what did the speaker do immediately after her friend left?[b]4.what do we know about the speaker?[c]5.what can we infer from the passage?[a]Lesson 5PART A Sleeping HabitsWoman good morning, sir.Man Er, good morning.Woman I wonder if you'd like to answer a few questions.Man well er...Woman we're doing a market survey.Man that depends, what sorts of questions are they, eh?Woman well, it's questions about your sleeping habits.Man sleeping habits?Woman Mm.Man well, i suppose that's all right.

They seem to have a national clock inside them that tells them when to sleep.Cats supplement their regular sleep with occasional cat naps. Some experts feel that humans could also benefit from this habit. Cat naps help to build up energy in the body. They are also a good way to overcome boredom. Since cats have moods similar to those of humans, some experts believe that people can improve their moods and attitudes by catnapping. People might become happier;A number of famous people have copied cats by taking cat naps during the day. The naps would usually last from 15 to 30 minutes. Winston Churchill took cat naps. So did President Harry Truman. John Kennedy and so on. There famous people were known for their energy. They were also able to work long hours. Often late into the night. And napping was their secret. Perhaps more people could learn from cats and take naps to feel better and live longer.答案1-5dcabcLesson 11Part AThe Invention of SpectaclesWho is the inventor of spectacles? It said the inventor probably lived in the town of Pisa, Italy,around 1286, and he was almost certainly a craftsman working in glass. But nobody know thismuch about the inventor because on a Wednesday morning in February 1306 when Friar Giordano gave a sermon at a church in Florence, he said, ‘It is not yet twenty years since there was found the art of making eye-glasses which make for good vision.’ He also said,‘I have seen the man whofirst invented and created it, and I have talked to him.’ We know Friar said this because admirers copied his sermons down as he gave them.The inventor of spectacles kept the method of making them to himself. But the idea soon got around. As early as 1300, craftsmen in Venice were only shaped for far-sighted people. The lenses for short-sighted people were not developed until the late 15th century.Spectacles allowed people to go on reading and studying long after bad eyesight would normally have forced them to give up. They were like a new pair of eyes. Everyone thought the inventor of such a valuable thing should be honored. But for centuries no one had any idea who the inventor really was. So all kinds of candidates were put forward: Dutch, English, German, and Italian. A fake memorial was erected last spectacles—but he never even existed!It is only recently that the researchers have dug back through the records, pushed away all the stories and legends, and they have found the man whose name they do not know and to whom Friar talked, probably lived in Pisa, nearly seven hundred years ago. One researcher wrote, ‘The world has found lenses on its nose without knowing whom to thank.’ Can you believe it?Direction 11. How did the world get to know about the inventor of spectacles?2. What did the speaker think of the invention of spectacles?3. For whom were the first spectacles designed?4. What event took place in a church in Florence last century?5. What can be concluded from the passage?c b bd aDirection 21) probably Italian2) probably lived in Pisa, Italy3) almost certainly a craftsman working in glass4) most likely around 12865) nearly 700 years after he made the inventionPART B1. What country has a good appetite? (Hungary)2. What country is popular on Thanksgiving Day? (Turkey)3. What star is not seen in the sky? (A film star)4. What part of a watch is always old? (The second hand)5. What kind of table has no legs? (A timetable)6. What is the worst weather for rats and mice? (When it rains cats and dogs)PART CA new kind of contact lenses has recently been invented in America. Disposable contacts, as they come to be called, have hit the market after extended-wear contact lenses. Disposable contacts can be worn without being removed, then thrown away and replaced by a fresh pair. Dr Jack Hartstein, eye specialist at the Washington University, says: ‘If disposable lenses are worn properly, they are safer and more convenient than extended-wear lenses.’ He also says: ‘Many eye specialists are increasingly reluctant to prescribe extended-wear lenses.’ To allow oxygen to reach the cornea, the transparent out coat of the eyeball, extended-wear lenses contain up to 70 percent water. But the water also absorbs bacteria, irritants and protein which can result in cloudy vision, infection and cornea ulcers.Disposable lenses cost about $365 for the first year and $280 there-after, but competition will drive the price down. Extended-wear lenses range from approximately $150 to more than $400, but need replacing once or twice a year. Dr Hartstein estimates that users of disposable lenses will save at least $100 a year on cleansing solutions. And there is no need for insurance to cover lost or damaged lenses.1. What has recently been invented in the U.S.?2. Why are many specialists increasingly reluctant to prescribe extended-wear lenses?3. How much can users of disposable contact lenses save compared with those of extended-wear contact lenses?4. What kinds of lenses does the speaker recommend in the passage?5. What can you infer from the passage?c b ca bLesson 12Part AA Nation of ImmigrantsThe United States has been called a ‘nation of immigrants’. Indeed, aside from the American Indians, all Americans are immigrants or the descendants of immigrants. All have come from other places within the last 400 years.Americans came from different parts of the earth and for different reasons. Some came to escape persecution, religious or political; others to find a better life for themselves and their children. Still others were looking for adventure or for wealth. As for the blacks, they were forcibly brought here as slaves.Immigrants usually came in ‘waves’. The early settles came mainly on the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, mostly from the British Isles. In the middle decades of the nineteen century a much larger wave of immigrants arrived, chiefly from Ireland and Germany. But the really huge wave reached the United States between 1880 and 1920. Over twenty-three million people came during that period, more than twice as many as had come in all the years before. Unlike their predecessors, who were mostly from northwestern Europe, the later arrivals were mainly from eastern and southern Europe and from various parts of Asia. This meant that they were quite different from the old-time Americans in language, appearance, customs, attitudes, and in other respects.All these immigrants as well as the later ones had to adjust to the unfamiliar conditions they found in the new place and all had to work very hard to survive. Consequently, newcomers tend to stay together, forming close-knit communicates and clinging to their old customs and language. They。

The other day, I went to a park in which there was a huge bird nest, the size of a football field. The nest is as tall as a four-story building. Itallows birds of all kinds to live with much more freedom than the traditional small birdcage. Within the nest, visitors can see different birds walk or fly freely everywhere without being afraid of people. There is a lake in the middle of the bird nest. Wild ducks and white swans swim on the lake, looking for food thrown down by visitors. Before I left the bird nest, I attended a bird show, in which some birds were trained to speak, some to play basketball and some to ride bikes. Of course they are toy balls and bikes, very small. I liked the show very much.参考答案：1-5 BBCAA 6-10 BABCA 11-15 CBCBA 16-20 CACBA。

What's the purpose of doing stretching exercise?To increase the flexibility.4. ls it tree that warm-up exercises are only needed on cool days?No. they are needed both on cool days and on hot days.5. What cross training techniques do different sportsmen use? Complete the following chart.Sportsmen Cross training techniques PurposeBoxers Doing road work and weight training Building up staminaTable tennis players Running and jogging Improving performance footballers Doing flexibility exercises Helping control the ball better Tapescript:Good morning. I'm Dr. Pat Parker, and I'm here to talk to you about preventative medicine in its widest and most personal aspects. In other words, I'm here to tell you how the patient should wrest control of their health away from the practitioners of medicine and take charge of theirown medical destiny. I want to talk about staying out of the hands of the doctor.When the patient takes responsibility for her or his own health--and let's decide the patient is male for now -- men are in fact more at risk than women anyway--when the patient takes over his own health regime, he must decide what he wants to do. Our department has recently completed a survey of men's health. We looked at men in different age groups and occupations, and we came up with a disturbing insight. Young men, particularly working class men, are at considerable risk of premature death because of their lifestyle. As a group, they have high risk factors: they drink too much alcohol, they smoke more heavily than any other group, their diet is frequently heavy in saturated fats, and they don't get enough exercise.We then did a smaller survey in which we looked at environmental factors which affect health.I had privately expected to find air or water pollution to be the biggest hazards, and they must not be ignored. However, the effects of the sun emerged as a threat which people simply do not take sufficiently seriously. Please remember that too much sunlight can cause permanent damage.Given this information, and the self-destructive things which people, particularly young men are doing to themselves, one could be excused for feeling very depressed. However, I'm an optimist, l see things improving, but only if we work very hard. In the second part of the talk I want to consider different things that you as students can do to improve your fitness.In the late 80's the Surgeon-General of the United States said that 53 percent of our illnesses could be avoided by healthy lifestyle choices. I now want to discuss these choices with you.You should try to make keeping fit fun! It's very hard to go out and do exercises by yourself, so it's wise to find a sport that you like and play it with other people, If you swim, you can consider scuba diving or snorkeling. If you jog, try to find a friend to go with. If you walk, choose pretty places to walk or have a reason for walking. Your exercise regime should be a pleasure, not a penance.The university is an excellent place to find other people who share sporting interests with you, and there are many sports teams you can join. This, unfortunately, raises the issue of sports injuries, and different sports have characteristic injuries. As well as accidental injuries, we find repetitive strain injuries occurring in sports where the same motion is frequently performed, like rowing and squash. The parallel in working life is repetitive strain injury which may be suffered by typists or other people who perform the same action hour after hour, day after day.In this context, therefore, the most important thing to remember before any sport is to warm up adequately. Do stretching exercises, and aim at all times to increase your flexibility. Be gentle with yourself, and allow time to prepare for the game you have chosen to play. Don't be fooled by the term "warm up", by the way. It's every bit as important to do your warm-up exercises on a hot day as on a cool one.I think one of the most sensible and exciting developments in the reduction of injury is the recognition that all sports can borrow from each other. Many sports programs are now encouraging players to use cross training techniques, that is, to borrow training techniques from other sports. Boxers have been using cross training for years: building up stamina by doing road work and weight training, while honing their skills and reflexes. Other sports which require a high level of eye-hand coordination are following this trend, so you see table tennis players running and jogging to improve their performance, and footballers doing flexibility exercises which can help them control the ball better. All of these results are good, but the general sense of well-being is best, and is accessible to us all, from trained athletes to people who will never run a 100 meters in less than 15 seconds, Good health is not only for those who will achieve athletic greatness!（764）。

In about 18 months.2. A virus that causes AIDS.3. Proteids inhibitors.4. I t’s difficult to take because it is not a pill.A promising new drug is being developed by American doctors that attacks the AIDS virus very soon after a person is infected. The drug is known as T-20. It is being tested in humans. Scientists say if everything goes well, the experimental medicine may be ready to be sold in about 18 months. The new drug is unlike other anti-AIDS medications, It attacks HIV before it has had a chance to infect other cells. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. Dr. Michael Saag led the study at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. He says the findings offer the first proof that it is possible to fight HIV very soon after infection. In the study, T-20 was given by injection to 16 men infected with HIV. The men were divided into four groups. The two groups that were given the lowest amount of the drug showed almost no reaction to it. The third group of men was given more of the drug. Dr. Saag says the amount of HIV in the blood fell by ten times in that group. The fourth group was given the highest amount of T-20. In that group, the amount of HIV fell so low within two weeks of treatment it could not be measured. Dr. Saag say she is excited about T-20. He says it offers another treatment choice for patients in whom older drugs no longer work. Many new drugs have been used to treat the AIDS virus. Experts say drugs currently used can suppress the AIDS virus to very low levels in infected people. These drugs include proteids inhibitors. They help the immune system remain reasonably strong enough to fight other infections. Without proteids the HIV virus is unable to leave the cells where' it reproduces. So it cannot enter a person's blood andinfect other cells. Researchers say T-20 also may offer a second chance to patients who are unable to deal with the bad effects of proteids inhibitors and other anti-AIDS drugs. Experts say there were no major bad effects of T-20 in their study. Researchers say T-20 appears to be at least as effective as existing anti-AIDS treatments. However, some say they are concerned that the drug is difficult to take because it is not a pill that can be swallowed. Researchers are doing more studies to see if T-20 in a pill form would be as effective.Questions:1.When might people be able to purchase T-20 on the market?2.What is HIV?3.What do the currently used anti-AIDS drugs include?4.What are some scientific concerns about the new drug?Why?。

残疾人听力等级划分标准
残疾人听力等级划分标准
听力残疾的等级划分标准因不同组织而异。
世界卫生组织（WHO）在1997年的分级分为0级、1级、2级、3级、4级，具体如下：
1. 0级：听力下降25db以下。
2. 1级：26-40db。
3. 2级：41-60db。
4. 3级：61-80db。
5. 4级：81db或者更大。
而在中国，听力残疾的分级标准如下：
1. 听力残疾一级：较好耳平均听力损失大于90 dB HL，不能依靠听觉进行言语交流，在理解、交流等活动上极重度受限，在参与社会生活方面存在极严重障碍。
2. 听力残疾二级：较好耳平均听力损失在(81～90) dB HL之间，在理解和交流等活动上重度受限，在参与社会生活方面存在严重障碍。
3. 听力残疾三级：较好耳平均听力损失在(61～80) dB HL之间，在理解和交流等活动上中度受限，在参与社会生活方面存在中度障碍。
4. 听力残疾四级：较好耳平均听力损失在(41～60) dB HL之间，在理解和交流等活动上轻度受限，在参与社会生活方面存在轻度障碍。
请注意，这些标准仅是参考，并不能替代专业医疗或听力学的诊断。
如有任何关于听力的问题或担忧，建议寻求医疗专业人士或听力专家的帮助。

英语听力教程5 Unit 3 Part 3答案及文本
Unit 3 Genetics ABCPart IIIAQuestions:1. What are the two functions of DNA?a. protein synthesisb. maintain constant/genetic information2. How does DNA perform the first function mentioned in the passage? Complete the chart below. DNA molecule (makes) RNAleaves the nucleusread instructions in the ribosomesform proteins3. How does DNA perform the second function mentioned in the passage?duplication/in cellular divisionWhy do we have different colors of skin, hair and eyes? Why do beings so different from one another exist? DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid, a molecule found in the nucleus of all cells is responsible for this tremendous variety. George Mendel was the first person to investigate genetic inheritance. He deduced that characteristics are inherited through physical units which he called genes. Nowadays we know that all cells contain chromosomes which are made up of DNA molecules. Sugars and phosphates form the backbone of each chain and they are united through their basis in a determined fashion. These two chains curl around themselves forming a double spiral. DNA has a specific role to play in the cell, that of protein synthesis. To make it, the DNA molecule makes an almost exact copy of itself called RNA. The copy leaves the nucleus and reads the instructions in the ribosomes. It's here where proteins, so essential to living beings, are formed, since they are responsible for controlling the many chemical reactions which keep us alive. The other important mission of DNA is maintaining constant the genetic information of the species during thousands of years through its duplication during cellular division.C1. How many men in Britain snore?Six percent of all men.2. How many men in Britain suffer from sleep apnoea?Two percent of all men.3, What are the symptoms of those people who suffer from sleep apnoea?a. They snore loudly.b. They can stop breathing for more than ten seconds as much as ten times an hour.4. What may sleep apnoea lead to?a. Disturbed sleep.b. A risk of depression.c. The danger of falling asleep while driving.5. What might cause sleep apnoea?a. Having a short jaw.b. Being overweight.c. Some genetic elementDoctors in Britain think they may have discovered why some people snore when sleeping. Based on a study of eight families, in which one or more members have a serious snoring problem, the doctors say that snoring could be genetically inherited. If that theory is correct, it could explain why some people suffer more than others from the condition.It's estimated that six percent of all men in Britain snore but two percent suffer from what's known as sleep apnoea. Those with the condition snore very loudly and can stop breathing for more than ten seconds as much as ten times an hour. Sufferers are often unaware of their condition, but it does lead to disturbed sleep, a risk of depression and even the danger of falling asleep while driving.It's thought it could be caused by having either a short jaw or by being overweight. But doctors of the Royal Halemshire Hospital in Sheffield believe there may be a genetic element. They are studying eight families where one or more members have the condition. So far they've found evidence that sleep apnoea can run in families. The next step is for blood samples to be taken to determine if a gene is involved. If it is, it could help diagnose people with the condition earlier.。
托福听力TPO5学习笔记之lecture1-智课教育旗下智课教育
智 课 网 托 福 备 考 资 料托福听力TPO5学习笔记之lecture1-智课教育旗下智课教育以下是小编的托福听力TPO5学习笔记中关于lecture1的内容，针对难词注解、长难句分析以及考题对应考点这三大方面展开，仅供参考。
下面就让小编来为大家介绍一下这篇托福听力TPO5学习笔记的相关内容吧，这是小编的一些见解，以便帮助大家更加充分的理解TPO真题，希望能够给正在准备托福听力的考友们带来帮助。
一、难词注解Alligator n. 短吻鳄(产于美国及中国);短吻鳄皮革;鳄口式工具adj.鳄鱼般的;鳄鱼皮革的;鳄鱼皮纹的vi. 皱裂;裂开sewer n. 下水道;阴沟;裁缝师vt.为…铺设污水管道;用下水道排除…的污水vi. 清洗污水管twinkle n. 闪烁vt. 使闪耀;闪耀vi. 闪烁;发亮Meme 模因transmission n. 传动装置，[机] 变速器;传递;传送;播送Replicators n. [遗] 复制基因;重复符Fecundity n. [生物] 繁殖力;多产;肥沃mutation n. [遗] 突变;变化;转变二、长难句分析the whole point of defining this familiar process as transmission of memes is so that we can explore its analogy with the transmission of genes.将这种人们熟悉的过程定义为模因的传递的重点在于我们能够可以将它与基因的传递相类比。
难句类型：介词短语做定语，so that 句式难句拆分：the whole point of+介词短语，so that+句子三、考题对应考点6.A meme is defined as a piece of information copied from person to person. By this definition, most of what you know,ideas, skills, stories, songs are memes. All the words you know, all the scientific theories you’ve learned, the rules your parents taught you to observe, all are memes that have been passed on from person to person. 开头原则中的背景引入式，讲座开头举出两个例子，都是为了今天讲课的主题—meme，而memes that have been passed on from person to person，对应B选项7. "Well we’ve all heard this song. Where am I going with this? Well, both the song and the story are examples of memes"举例原则，当教授介绍完这两个例子之后，说了前面这句话，both the song and the story are examples of memes，所以答案选择C8.在教授介绍完meme的含义之后，说“By this definition, most of what you know, ideas, skills, stories, songs are memes. All the words you know, all the scientific theories you’ve learned, the rules your parents taught you to observe, all are memes”，By this definition看出是强调原则，所以答案是AD9. 教授之前举了一个alligator的例子，之后又提到"If you takethe alligator story, it can exist for a long time in individual memory, let’s say, my memory".说明她记住这个 alligatorstory很多年，所以选择B10. Fecundity is the ability to reproduce in large numbers. For example, the common housefly reproduces by laying several thousand eggs, so each fly gene gets copied thousands of times. Memes, well, they can be reproduced in large numbers as well. How many times have you sung the‘twinkle, twinkle song’ to someone? Each time you replicated that song, and maybe passed it along to someone who did not know it yet, a small child maybe.举例原则，For example，前后两个例子互相对比，所以选择D11.Other memes are replicated with higher fidelity though, like the twinkle, twinkle song. It had the exact same words 20 years ago as it does now. Well, that’s because we see songs as something that has to be performed accurately each time. If you change a word, the others will usually bring you in line. They’llsay, ‘that’s not how you sing it’, right?，结尾原则，当别人说错的是后你会改正，课件人们在传播时不会改变太多。

耳语听力5m测试方法
嘿，朋友们！今天咱就来聊聊耳语听力 5m 测试方法。
你知道吗，这可太重要啦！想象一下，就像你要测试自己的眼睛能看多远一样，我们也要知道自己的耳朵在 5 米的距离上能不能听清别人的耳语呀！
首先说说最直接的办法，那就是找个人和你一起呀！让他在 5 米远的
地方轻轻跟你说句话，比如“今天天气真好啊！”然后你看看自己能不能听清楚。
哎呀，这就好比是一场小小的游戏，但却是很有意义的游戏呢！你觉得怎么样？
还有啊，你可以用一些有声音的玩具，把它放在 5 米远的地方，让它
发出声音，看你能不能辨别出是什么声音。
这就像是在远处有个小铃铛在响，你能不能听到那清脆的声音呀！然后再换换不同的声音来测试。
多有趣呀！
或者呢，你可以用手机播放一些声音，站在 5 米外，听听看能不能听
明白。
这不就跟手机在远方跟你说话一样嘛！要是能清楚听到，那可太棒啦！
总之，这些方法都挺简单的吧？快去试试看，看看你的耳语听力在 5
米处到底怎么样！别偷懒哦！。

W: John, I’m really hungry!

5. Because they’re able to sell American culture by using all the media they can.
Task 3: American Eating Habits
Eating habits in America really get a lot of criticism. But the truth is, it matters much where in America you look. In big cities, people are becoming more health-conscious every day. This is shown by what foods they choose to buy in supermarkets, and what restaurants they eat in. There is now a big push for “green” foods that are grown naturally. In cities like New York and Chicago, restaurants offer new and healthy styles to stay ahead of the competition. However, these habits contrast with those in America’s heartland. Here, people tend to eat more traditional and higher fat foods, such as breakfasts of eggs, bacon, sausages, toast and other greasy, but delicious foods. Fast food chain restaurants such as McDonald’s and the Olive Garden, which serve cheaper food, draw a lot of customers and are popular in most places.
M: It seems that they’re doing better overseas,’ cause they’re really able to sell American culture.
W: Yeah. They use all the media they can, and they do a good job.
W: Yeah. It’s just so difficult to stay competitive when there so many fast food chains in the States. I mean there are KFC, Pizza Hut, and A&W, just to name a few.
W: No, not really. Ii prefer fruit, like apples, strawberries, and so on.
Q: What food does the woman like and dislike?
The woman doesn’t like cookies; she likes fruit such as apples and strawberries.
5. W: I’ve come to this Chinese restaurant many times. I like sweet-and-sour fish, fried noodles…and the mushroom soup here id delicious.
M: You’re really a big fan of Chinese food. OK, you do the ordering.
Task 1: Fast Food Culture
Since the late 1900s, Americans have begun to fully believe in their “fast food culture”. In 1994 alone, fast food restaurants in the United States sold over 5 billion hamburgers, making it a favorite meal and an important commodity. Each day in 1996, seven percent of the population ate at the 11,400 McDonald’s; males from their mid-teens to their early 30s made up 75 percent of this business. By then, fast food had become a cultural phenomenon that reached beyond America’s borders. In 1996 McDonald’s owned over 7,000 restaurants in other countries, including: 1,482 in Japan; 430 in France; 63 in China; and so on. McDonald’s has also recognized some cultural differences. In Germany, for example, the outlets sell beer, in France they sell wine and beer, and in Saudi Arabia they have separate sections for men and women and close four times a day for prayers. But for the most part the fast food fare is the same, maintaining the same culture on an international level.
