高中英语必修第一册听力原文上外版全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Hi there! My name is Tommy and I'm 10 years old. I'm in the 5th grade at Sunny Hills Elementary School. Today I want to tell you all about my life as a kid and what it's like being a student. Get ready, because this is going to be a long story!First off, I have to wake up pretty early on school days - around 6:30am. My mom comes into my room and says "Time to get up, sleepyhead!" I never want to get out of my warm, cozy bed. But if I don't, I'll be late for school and get in trouble. So I drag myself to the bathroom, brush my teeth, and get dressed.For breakfast, I usually have a bowl of cereal with milk and a banana. My favorite cereals are Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs and Marshmallow Mateys. My mom says they aren't very healthy and I should eat oatmeal or whole grain cereal instead. But they're just so good! After breakfast, I grab my backpack and lunchbox, and my mom drives me to school.The first class of the day is always math. I'm not very good at math - I get confused by all the numbers and equations. Luckily,my teacher Mr. Parker is really nice and patient. He walks around the class helping anyone who's struggling. Even when I don't understand something, he explains it in a simple way until it finally clicks.Next up is language arts, which is one of my favorite classes. We read awesome books and stories, practice writing, and learn about grammar rules. Just this week, we started the novel "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis. It's about four siblings who travel through an enchanted wardrobe to a magical land called Narnia. I can't wait to find out what happens!Around 11:30am, it's time for lunch and recess. I usually buy a lunch from the cafeteria since I'm not a fan of the sandwiches my mom packs. My favorite lunch is chicken nuggets, tater tots, a fruit cup, and a chocolate milk carton. For recess, I love to play on the jungle gym or have battles with my friends using our Bakugan figures. Sometimes I join the pickup basketball or soccer games too.After lunch, we have science and then social studies. Science is pretty interesting - we get to do a lot of hands-on experiments and projects. Like last month, we built these cool model volcanos and made them "erupt" with baking soda and vinegar. For social studies, we're learning geography and about the different states,their capitals, landmarks, and so on. I actually find memorizing all those names and places really boring.Finally, the last class of the day is either gym, art, music, or computers. Those are my other favorite classes because they're way more fun than the core subjects. In gym, we play games like kickball or dodgeball. Art is awesome because we get to draw, paint, sculpt with clay - anything crafty and creative. Music is cool too since we sing songs and learn how to play instruments like the recorder. And in computer class, we practice typing and get to play educational games and activities.The school day ends at 3:15pm and that's when I feel really excited and relieved. My dad usually picks me up and I tell him about all the things I did that day on the drive home. When I get home, I have a snack like graham crackers or apple slices with peanut butter while I watch a few episodes of my favorite cartoon.Around 5pm, I start my homework for the night. I try to get it all done before dinner, but that doesn't always happen. Especially if there's a lot of math or I'm feeling stuck on an assignment. That's when I ask my parents for help explaining things. If my homework still isn't finished after dinner, I have to go to my room and keep working on it until it's complete.Once my homework is finally done, I'm free to relax and have fun! I might play outside for a while if it's still light out. Or I'll play video games, build with Lego, draw and color, or playmake-believe games with my toys. Sometimes my friends come over and we'll make a huge fort out of blankets and pillows in the living room. Other times we'll make a lemonade stand and try to sell cups of lemonade to people walking by.Around 8pm, I start getting ready for bed. I take a shower or bath, put on my pajamas, and brush my teeth again. Then篇2Hi there! My name is Billy and I'm in 5th grade. I love going to school and learning new things every day. Today I want to tell you all about a really cool field trip we took last week.It was a beautiful sunny morning when we loaded up on the big yellow school bus. My best friend Tommy and I raced to get the back seat - that's the best spot on the bus! We were so excited because we were going to the Museum of Natural History in the city. I had been there once before when I was little, but I didn't remember much about it.The bus ride took forever, or at least it felt like it. Tommy and I played I Spy and the License Plate Game to help pass the time.When we finally arrived, I could hardly sit still waiting for everyone to get off the bus. Finally, it was our turn and we hurried up the big stone steps at the entrance.As soon as we walked inside, my jaw dropped open. The museum was huge! The ceilings were so high and there were gigantic dinosaur skeletons and animal exhibits everywhere you looked. Our class gathered around our teacher, Mrs. Jones, as she reminded us about the rules like staying with our buddy and not running off.First up was the dinosaur exhibit and let me tell you, those things were massive! There were terrifying meat-eaters with huge teeth and long-necked plant-eaters that seemed to stretch on forever. My favorite was the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Can you imagine seeing one of those in real life? I'd be so scared!After the dinosaurs, we saw exhibits on the ancient cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome. I was amazed by the mummies and golden artifacts from Egyptian tombs. The Greek statues were incredibly detailed and lifelike. And the Roman displays showed what life was like in an ancient city, from their buildings and roads to soldiers' uniforms and weapons. History came alive in a way I'd never experienced before in my textbooks.Next up was the gemstone room, which was breathtaking. The walls were lined with thousands of dazzling rocks, crystals, and minerals from all over the world. Some were small enough to fit in your hand while others were the size of refrigerators! My favorite was the giant amethyst geode that looked like a purple crystal cave you could crawl inside. The gems came in every color imaginable - deep blues, fiery reds, vibrant greens. I could have spent all day in that room.The afternoon flew by as we explored exhibits on the ocean, the rainforest, the Arctic, and more. We saw life-size models of whales and sharks, and walked through a tunnel with trees, plants, and animals from the Amazon rainforest surrounding us on all sides. By the time we made it to the butterfly garden, I thought my brain might explode from sensory overload!The bus ride home felt even longer, but this time it was because we were all so exhausted from our big adventure. Tommy and I could barely keep our eyes open. All I could think about was how lucky we were to have teachers and a school that encouraged us to get out and explore the world beyond our textbooks.That field trip will forever be one of my favorite memories. I have a new appreciation for science, history, and nature afterseeing it all come to life at the museum. Maybe I'll be a paleontologist and dig up dinosaur bones. Or a gemologist and study beautiful rocks and minerals. Or a historian and unlock the secrets of ancient civilizations. Whatever path I choose, I know the museum opened my eyes to the incredible world around me in a way I'll never forget.篇3Hi everyone! My name is Emma, and I'm a 10-year-old girl from a small town in the countryside. I love going to school and learning new things every day. Today, I want to tell you all about my favorite subject – English class!I still remember the first time I stepped into my English classroom. It was like entering a whole new world! The walls were decorated with colorful posters and alphabet charts, and there were even some cute stuffed animals sitting on the shelves. Our teacher, Miss Smith, always had a big smile on her face and made learning English so much fun.One of the things I enjoyed the most was learning new words and phrases. Miss Smith would introduce them to us using flashcards or by acting them out. For example, when she taught us the word "jump," she would actually jump up and down infront of the class, and we would all giggle and repeat after her. It was like a game, and we didn't even realize how much we were learning!Speaking of games, we played a lot of them in English class. One of my favorites was called "Simon Says." Miss Smith would give us instructions like "Simon says touch your nose" or "Simon says clap your hands," and we had to follow her commands only if she said "Simon says" first. It was a great way to practice listening and following directions in English.Another thing I loved about English class was the stories. Miss Smith would read us books filled with colorful illustrations and exciting adventures. Sometimes, she would even have us act out the stories or create our own endings. It was like we were transported into magical worlds filled with talking animals, brave knights, and friendly monsters.One of my favorite memories from English class was when we had a special "International Day." Each of us got to dress up in traditional clothes from a different country and bring in a traditional dish to share with the class. I wore a beautiful kimono and brought in some delicious sushi rolls that my mom had made. It was so much fun learning about different cultures and trying new foods!Another highlight was when we had a pen pal program with a school in England. We got to write letters back and forth with students our age, asking them questions about their lives and sharing stories about our own. It was amazing to make friends from across the world and practice our English writing skills at the same time.One of the things I'm most thankful for is having such a wonderful English teacher like Miss Smith. She made learning fun and exciting, and she never gave up on us, even when we struggled. Thanks to her, I now feel confident speaking, reading, and writing in English, and I'm excited to keep learning and exploring this amazing language.Who knows, maybe one day I'll even get to visit an English-speaking country and put my skills to the test! For now, though, I'm just happy to be in English class, soaking up all the knowledge and adventures that come my way.So, that's a little glimpse into my life as a primary school student learning English. It's been an incredible journey so far, and I can't wait to see where it takes me next!篇4Hi, my name is Lily and I'm a 4th grader at Sunshine Elementary School. I live with my mom, dad, and little brother Tommy who is in 1st grade. Today I want to tell you all about a typical day in my life!Every morning, my mom comes into my room around 7am and gently wakes me up. "Rise and shine, sleepyhead!" she'll say in a sing-song voice. I groan and pull the covers over my head, never wanting to leave my warm, cozy bed. But mom is persistent, tickling my feet until I finally surrender with fits of giggles.Once I'm up, I shuffle to the bathroom to brush my teeth and get dressed for school. I put on my uniform - a white polo shirt, navy blue skirt, and black shoes. Tommy is usually still fast asleep so I try to be quiet as a mouse.Downstairs, the smell of pancakes and syrup greets me. Dad is an amazing cook! He always makes my favorite breakfast on school days. I gobble down the fluffy pancakes, washing them down with a big glass of orange juice. By 8am, Tommy has joined us, his messy hair sticking up in all directions. "Moooorning," he yawns widely.After breakfast, it's a mad dash to get our backpacks and head out the door. Mom drives us the few blocks to school,dropping Tommy off at the elementary building first. I give him a high five before he scampers off. "Have an awesome day!" I call after him.The bell rings just as I reach my classroom. My best friend Emma is already at her desk. "Lily! Did you finish the math homework?" she asks worriedly. I nod and hand her my sheet to copy the answers. The teacher won't mind, I'm sure.First up is English class. I love learning new words and phrases! Today we're talking about hobbies. I raise my hand eagerly when the teacher asks what I like to do for fun. "I love reading fantasy novels," I say. "My favorite is Harry Potter!"By mid-morning, my stomach is growling. Finally it's time for recess and lunch! I buy a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from the cafeteria along with an apple juice box and a chocolate chip cookie. Emma and I find a shady spot on the playground to eat and chat about our latest obsession - K-pop music!After lunch, we have P.E. class. I actually don't mind running laps and doing jumping jacks since it means we get to play dodgeball after! I'm one of the best dodgers in the class. Today's game is intense but my team prevails. "Yeah! We're the champs!"I cheer, doing a silly victory dance with Emma.The rest of the afternoon flies by with science, art, and social studies lessons. By the time 3pm rolls around, I'm dragging my feet. But I put on a burst of energy for my favorite part of the day - the after school club! Today is art club and we're learning how to make clay monsters. I get completely covered in colorful clay but manage to sculpt a pretty cool three-eyed beast.Finally, it's time to go home. I spot mom's car in the pickup line and scramble inside, holding up my clay creation. "Look what I made today!" I exclaim proudly. Mom smiles and says "That's awesome, honey! You'll have to tell me all about it."At home, I spend a blissful hour watching cartoons and snacking on chips before starting my homework. Tonight I have math problems, a spelling worksheet, and have to write a short book report. I put on my favorite playlist to make the work more fun.Around 6pm, dad gets home from his office job. "There are my two favorite kids!" he booms, scooping us up in a big bear hug. We all head to the kitchen to help mom cook dinner - she's making chicken stir fry, my favorite! Even Tommy loves helping by rinsing the veggies.After we eat, it's time for baths and then straight to bed. I snuggle under the covers with a new book from the library,content as can be. Before falling asleep, I think about what an awesome day it was. I can't wait for another fun-filled day of school, friends, and family tomorrow!篇5Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to share with you the really cool listening exercises we've been doing in my English class. We use this big green textbook called "Compulsory English Course 1" and it has all these interesting stories and conversations for us to listen to.My favorite one so far is called "A Terrible Dread." It's about this boy named Tim who is really scared of going to the dentist. The story starts with Tim's mom telling him they have a dentist appointment that day. Tim gets really nervous and tries to make up excuses not to go. He says things like "But mom, I'm not feeling well today. Maybe we should go another time." His mom doesn't let him get out of it though!When they get to the dentist's office, Tim is shaking with fear. The dentist calls him in and Tim has to go into the room alone with her. That's when the dentist starts talking in this really soft, gentle voice. She explains everything she's going to do socarefully. She lets Tim hold a little mirror to watch her work on his teeth. And she keeps praising him for being such a brave boy.By the end of the appointment, Tim isn't scared at all anymore! He's so relieved that it wasn't as bad as he thought. His mom is waiting for him and she's really proud of how well he did. The story teaches a good lesson about not being afraid of things before they even happen.Another fun dialogue is called "A Snowy Day." Two friends named Mary and Jane are looking out the window at the snow falling outside. They decide they want to build a snowman, so they put on all their cold weather gear like coats, hats, scarves, and mittens. When they go out to the yard, they start rolling up balls of snow to make the snowman's body. But uh-oh! They can't find anything to use for the arms. That's when they get the idea to use tree branches instead.After decorating their snowman with a hat, scarf, and carrot nose, they decide to have a snowy adventure. The girls make snow angels by swinging their arms and legs back and forth while lying in the snow. Then they have a fun snowball fight, trying to hit each other with packed snow. By the time they go back inside, they're all tuckered out but happy from their snowy day.Let me tell you about one more listening exercise, this one is a speech by a teenage girl named Kate. She's talking about her after-school job working at the mall's pet store. Kate says she has always loved animals ever since she was a little kid. At the pet store, she gets to take care of all the puppies, kittens, hamsters, birds, and fish. Her main jobs are feeding them, cleaning their cages, and playing with them so they get exercise.The best part for Kate is socializing the animals so they'll be friendly when someone adopts them as pets. She especially loves training the puppies to do tricks like sit, stay, and shake. Even though it's a lot of hard work, Kate says it's the perfect job for an animal-lover like her. She feels lucky to spend her after-school hours surrounded by cute furry friends instead of just sitting at home.Those listening exercises are so engaging to me! I love getting to hear the different characters' voices and trying to understand all the details of the stories. My teacher always has us answer comprehension questions or discuss the key points when we're done listening. It really helps me practice my English listening skills in a fun way. I can't wait to keep working through all the great materials in this textbook!篇6Hi there! My name is Emma and I'm a 10-year-old student in 5th grade. I love learning English and listening to stories in my English class. Our teacher often uses the listening materials from the first required English textbook for high school students called "Go for It!" published by FLTRP. Even though it's a high school book, I find the stories really fun and interesting!One of my favorite listening。

First they asked their neighbour Mrs. White for help. Then they called their colleague Mr. Black. But both of them said they would not be able to take Blackie. At last they found a dog care center which looked after dogs while their owners were away. The couple took Blackie there just before they left for their holiday, and sadly said goodbye to him.At the end of their holiday, they got back to England very late at night, and as they thought the center might be closed at that late hour, they decoded to wait until the next day before going to get Blackie. So the next morning Mr. Green got into his car and drove off happily to collect him. When he reached home with the dog, he said to his wife, “Do you know, dear, I don’t think Blackie can have enjoyed his time at the center very much. He barked all the way home in the car as if he wanted to tell me something.”Mrs. Green looked at the dog carefully and then answered,”You’re quite right, dear. He was certainly trying to tell you something. But he wasn’t trying to tell you that he hadn’t enjoyed his stay. He was only trying to t ell you that you were bringing the wrong dog home. This isn’t Blackie!”Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.26.What do you know about Mr, Green? c27.Where did Mr. and Mrs. Green leave Blackie while they were on holiday? d28.When did they come back from holiday? c29.Why did the dog bark all the way home? cPassage 2Barbara, a night duty nurse in the local hospital, was driving home in stormy weather. The road was icy and she had to drive very carefully. Suddenly she noticed that the car ahead of her had lost control on a patch of ice. In a minute, the car moved wildly, rolled over and then crashed sideways into a telephone pole.It was an emergency, Barbara realized at once. She stopped her car and threw open the door. Thank goodness she was a nurse--she might be able to help. Without delay, she ran towards thecrash site. It was worse than she’d feared. Two girls of hight-school age were in the car. One, on the passenger seat, had been killed instantly. The driver, however, was still breathing. She was unconscious though. Barbara quickly applied pressure to the wound in the teenager’s head while her nurse’s eye took in the other injuries -- a broken leg, maybe two, along with probable internal bleeding. But if help came soon the girl might remain alive.Meanwhile ,a truck had pulled up and the driver was calling for help on his cell phone. Soon Barbara heard the ambulance coming.A few moments later, rescue workers arrived. “Good job,” one said as he examined the girl’s wounds. “You’ve probably saved her life.”Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.30.How were the weather and road conditions when the accident happened? d31.What did Barbara do to deal with the emergency? b32.What can we conclude from the story?dPassage 3Tow years ago I entered university. I was not excited but depressed.One reason was that the campus was not so large and so beautiful as I expected. Also I found many books in the library were out of date. Moreover, I was told that the job prospects of university graduates were not so promising.The other reason was that, although I was acquainted with a great number of new classmates, I feel uncomfortable communicating with them.Eventually I became silent. I seldom entered conversations with others. I was in low spirits. I didn’t truly know myself. At the end of the first semester I surprisingly found I did a poor job in the exams of almost all subjects. It was really a great shock to me.Then I decided to pluck up my courage and change my thinking, Now I spend several hours a day in the library to obtain new knowledge. I know that knowledge acquisition is very important to university students. I keep informed of what is going on in the world. I’ve also learned to help and care for others. I’m no w lively and self-confident. I believe that my future is bright. Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.33.How did the speaker feel when she entered university?c34.What was one of the reasons why the speaker didn’t like her university?d35.What can you learn about the speaker?cTest 2Part ADirections: You are going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers.

If you have a lot of money, you can make yourself very comfortable by having a fine house to live in, fashionable clothes to wear and delicious food to eat. With money you can do whatever you like. Money is so important and so useful that people are naturally keen on possessing it.But money can also be a source of evil. For the sake of money, some do not care about their means of getting it. They will steal, gamble, cheat and even kill to get money, profiting at the expense of their victims.It is true that money can bring people happiness. With money the basic necessities can be provided for. With money the theatre and other places of entertainment can be enjoyed. But in my opinion the truly happy are those who make money through their work and live with their income. In short, money is important and useful but in itself it has little value if it does not give people real happiness.Part DDirections: You are going to hear three passages. Each will be read once. Listen carefully and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.(10 points)Passage 1Nicholas Mac Mahon is a four-year-old child. He is studying at college because he is too intelligent for school. Nicholas has computer lessons at the West London Institute. He spoke well before he was one year old. At eighteen months he took telephone messages for his parents. At the age of two he began to learn French. The strange thing about Nicholas is that he taught himself to read before he could speak. His father said,“We knew immediately that he could read. When he could speak, he corrected my spelling.” When Nicholas went to school, his teachers just gave him pictures to color and toys to play with and didn’t have time to prepare special lessons for him. Nicholas tried two different schools, but he was bored and unhappy. Then his parents dec ided that he couldn’t stay at an ordinary school. But they had no idea what to do with him. Then the West London Institute offered to help. Nicholas spends some of his time there, and also studies at home. Now he reads newspapers every day, and he play the violin well. His father said, “Nicholas is our life. He is a clever child and we want to help him in every way.”Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.26. Which adjective can best describe Nicholas? (b)27. When did Nicholas learn to take telephone messages for his parents? (c)28. What is Nicholas studying at college? (c)29. Which of the following is true about Nicholas? (d)Passage 2Tom Johnson came to London from Scotland to start a new job as a hotel porter. He had rented a flat and was enjoying a simple but good life in London.However, it all ended suddenly when he because jobless and couldn’t pay the rent. Tom had to leave his rented home and found himself alone in a big city with no money or friends. After that, he had to beg for money in busy streets and sleep in parks. It was a sad and dangerous life indeed.Then one day his luck changed. He came across a man named Johnny Reid who opened a hotel and needed a porter. Johnny felt sorry for Tom and decided to give him a job as a porter and a room at his hotel.Tom was so excited. He said, “It’s nice to know that there are still kind people in the world. It is Johnny’s Kindness that saved me. Actually that’s a lesson for everyone. Some people think homeless people are lazy. W hy should we help them? Actually we don’t want to live on the streets, but we’re totally helpless. It’s so unpleasant especially when it’s cold and wet outside. So don’t be afraid to help someone in trouble. And please, don’t be rude or nasty to homeless people.”Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.30. What happened when Tom lost his job? (c)31. Who is Johnny Reid? (c)32. What’s tom’s advice? (d)Passage 3There’s a lot of to learn about shopping. In my opinion not everyone is a good shopper. Some people spend a lot of time and money but bring back something not worth price they paid for it. Thus quarrels occur between husband and wives. So try to be a smart shopper.Here are some tips.First of all, before you go shopping, make a list of things that you are going to buy. It saves you time and keeps you from forgetting something.Secondly, try to locate where you can buy these things and find our prices. To do this, you can buy a local newspaper and read th e “sale” section in the classified advertisements. Once you’ve found something that you want, call the store immediately and make sure that’s still there. Cheap things and things of value usually sell very quickly. So try to be the first one to reach the seller.Thirdly, compare the prices of the same product in different stores, either by telephoningor visiting them.Lastly, it’s generally cheaper to shop in chain stores and supermarkets, Shops that remain open until quite late may charge rather higher prices in return for their longer hours for service.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.33.What does the passage mainly tell us?(b)34.What does the speaker say we should do first before shopping?(d)35.Where can we buy things cheap according to the passage?(c)。

人教版英语必修一原文听力
人教版英语必修一原文听力The original text of the People's Education Press English Listening for the first compulsory course is an essential resource for students and teachers alike. It provides a wide range of listening materials that cover various topics and themes, allowing students to developtheir listening skills and comprehension abilities. However, some students may find it challenging to understand the original text due to the language barrier or the complexity of the content. This can hinder their learning progress and affect their overall performance in the subject.One of the main issues with the original text of the People's Education Press English Listening for the first compulsory course is the language barrier. The text is written in English, which may pose a challenge for students who are not proficient in the language. This can make it difficult for them to grasp the content and understand the audio materials provided. As a result, they may struggle to keep up with the lessons and fail to develop theirlistening skills effectively.Another problem with the original text is the complexity of the content. The listening materials cover a wide range of topics and themes, some of which may be unfamiliar or difficult for students to comprehend. This can make it hard for them to follow along and extract the key information from the audio materials. As a result, they may feel overwhelmed and discouraged, which can impacttheir motivation and engagement with the subject.Furthermore, the original text of the People's Education Press English Listening for the first compulsory course may not cater to the diverse learning needs of students. Each student has their own unique learning style and pace, and the one-size-fits-all approach of theoriginal text may not effectively address these individual differences. This can result in some students feeling left behind or disengaged from the learning process, as they struggle to connect with the materials provided.In addition, the lack of supplementary resources orsupport materials accompanying the original text may also pose a challenge for students. While the listening materials are valuable, students may benefit fromadditional resources such as vocabulary lists, comprehension questions, and listening exercises to reinforce their learning. Without these supplementary materials, students may struggle to fully grasp the content and apply their listening skills in a meaningful way.Overall, the original text of the People's Education Press English Listening for the first compulsory course presents several challenges for students. From the language barrier to the complexity of the content and the lack of supplementary resources, these issues can hinder students' ability to develop their listening skills effectively. As such, it is important for educators to consider these challenges and explore alternative approaches to support students in their English listening learning journey. By addressing these issues, educators can help students overcome the barriers to their learning and create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.。

What happened?W: I don’t know. But life must be pretty tough for his family now.His sons are still so young. One is 13 and the other is 10.M: Well, maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be.W: I hope so.Text 7W: Guess what? My mother’s decided to go back to school!M: Why?W: Well, she always loved art, but learned business administration at college, because her parents thought it was difficult for an artist to find a job.M: So she wants to study art now?W: Yeah, oil painting. It’s been her dream for a long time.M: It’s nice to return to learn what she loves. But, Kate, I still think old age should be about peace and relaxation.

He used to tell me that readers were leaders, and encouraged me to read all I could. As a result, I’ve always kept up with the newspapers, faithfully read news magazines and learned to really enjoy books, all of which have been an valuable help to me in radio and television reporting.M: What about your mother?W: Well, my mother helped me in a much different way.Text 9M: We all know that exercise is good for us. but sometimes it seems too hard to leave the sofa.W: I can see that.

Now, a new study suggests getting benefits from exercise doesn’t have to be that demanding. Jacob Sattelmair, from Harvard University, has done a study into how much exercise is needed to lower the risk of heart attacks.M: H mm…interesting.W: The study showed that people who put in 300 minutes a week of exercise had a 20% lower risk of death due to heart disease. Still, the people who exercise 150 minutes a week did pretty well, too, lowering their death risk by 14 %.M: And what about the people who exercise half as much as that, like what I probably do? Does that help?W: Of course, Even 15 minutes would help.Text 10W: Here is a piece of news for bird lovers. Scientists have painted a long road, red, yellow and white.

Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic."biology student Hannah tells the broadcaster. The youngsters’ feathers are brown in color. The dark-colored road surface makes the youngster hard to be noticed. As the number oftourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Christen says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multi-colored road this summer.And if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country.。

Write down the name of the animal beings described in each case.1) elephants2) chimpanzees3) giraffes4) penguins5) kangaroos6) zebras7) polar bearsB. Complete the following sentences with what you hear on the tape.1) They live in Africa and India. They have four legs and a tail.2) Their arms are very long and they have big ears.TipsIn case the students don't know some of the English names for these animals, they may give the names in Chinese. And then get them practise saying them in English. Alternatively, you could elicit/ introduce such animal names as chimpanzee, penguin, zebra and kangaroo.The fastest animal on land is the cheetah. It can run at a speed of about 100 kilometres an hour. The fastest bird in the world can fly at 170 km/h, and the fastest fish can swim at more than 100 km/h.Human beings are not very fast. The fastest man in the world can only run at about 40 km/h. Many animals can run faster than this. But most animals run on four legs. Four legs are better than two, aren't they? Why do we only have two legs?Scientists say that we are more intelligent than other animals because we stand on two legs, so we can use our hands for other things. We can pick things up with them. We can use tools. Human beings have used tools for millions of years. That is why our brains have developed. That is why we have become the most intelligent animals in the world.In the past few years, we have made all kinds of machines. We have made cars, ships, aeroplanes and spacecraft. In these machines we can travel faster than any animal--by land, by sea, or by air. We can even go to the moon. No other animal has ever done that!(Length: 1 min. 30 sec.)A. Answer the following questions.1) What is the fastest animal on land?Key: The cheetah.2) What is the speed of the fastest birds?Key: 170 km/h.3) What is the speed of the fastest fish?Key: More than 100km/h.4) Why can many animals ran faster than human beings?Key: Because most animals run on four legs.5) Why can human beings travel faster than any animals?Key: Because we have machines.B. Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the tape.1) The fastest man in the world can run at 100 km/h. [ F ]2) Most animals run on two legs. [ F ]3) We have become the most intelligent animals in the world because we have used tools for millions of years. [ T ]A: You know, we're studying dinosaurs in science class. It's really interesting.B: Oh, yeah? Hey, have you learned why the dinosaurs disappeared?A: Well, no one knows for sure.B: I thought it had something to do with the climate. The temperature might have gotten cooler and killed them off.A: Yeah, that's one theory. Another idea is that they may have run out of food.B: Uh-huh. And you know, there's even a theory that they could have been destroyed by aliens from outer space.A: That sounds crazy to me!(Length: 48 sec.)A. Answer the following questions.1) What are the possible reasons why the dinosaurs disappeared?Key: Climate, lack of food and aliens from outer space might be responsible for their extinction.2) Does the man believe in the theory of alien invasion?Key: No.B. Fill in the missing words with what your hear on the tape.B: I thought it had something to do with the climate. The temperature might have gotten cooler and killed them off.A: Yeah, that's one theory. Another idea is that they may have run out of food. B: Uh-huh. And you know, there's even a theory that they could have been destroyed by aliens from outer space.To do the first exercise well, students may be encouraged to take notes while listening. Get them to pay attention to such expressions as "it had something to do with...", "another idea..." and "there's even a theory that..."After doing the exercises, do some oral work on this topic if desired. Question like "Why do you think dinosaurs disappeared?" can be asked.For the shortest life, the first prize must go to the mayfly, which typically lives only a matter of a few hours after it emerges from its shell. Few mayflies live to see the sun rise again. These creatures devote their whole lives to a single desperate mission: finding a mate and producing young. They don't even have functional mouths and stomachs. They simply have no time toeat. In fact they have no time for anything else. The record-holder for the longest life may be the Arctic clam, one of which lived quietly underwater for 220 years. However it did not have any birth certificate to prove this. One could only judge by its growth rings.If you insist on better documentation, the oldest animal ever was probably a tortoise that died in 1918. It had been captured already full-grown in 1766, nine years before the American Revolution began, and it died 152 years later as World War I came to a close.(Length: 1 min. 20 sec.)Answer the following questions.1) What animal has the shortest life? For how long?Key: The mayfly. A few hours.2) What do mayflies do in their lifetime?Key: They just do two things: finding a mate and producing young3) How do we know that one of the Arctic clams lived for 220 years?Key: We could judge by its growth rings.4) How long was the tortoise that died in 1918 kept in captivity?Key: It was kept for 152 years.Every year about 17 million animals are used in laboratory experiments. But in many countries today, a difficult question is being asked: Do we have the right to use animals in this way?People who are for using animals in research argue that theuse of animals in medical research has many practical benefits. Animal research has enabled researchers to develop treatments for many diseases, such as heart disease and depression. It would not have been possible to develop vaccines for diseases like smallpox and polio without animal research. Every drug anyone takes today wastried first on animals.Future medical research is dependent on the use of animals. Which is more important: the life of a rat or that of a three-year-old child? Medical research is also an excellent way of using unwanted animals. Last year, over 12 million animals had to be killed in animal shelters because no one wanted them as pets.However those who are against it point out that the fact that humans benefit cannot be used to justify using animals in research any more than it can be used to justify experimenting on other humans. Animals suffer a lot during these experiments. They are forced to live in small cages, and they may be unable to move.Much of the research that is carried out is unnecessary anyway. Animals have the same rights as humans do--to be able to move freely and not to have pain or fear forced on them. Researchers must find other ways of doing their research, using cell culture and computer modeling. There should be no animals in research laboratories at all.(Length: 1 min. 50 sec.)Key:A. Answer the following question.What is the main idea of the passage?Key: People have different opinions on using animals for research.B. Complete the following ontline of the passage.1) The case for using animals in research:a) Every drug anyone takes today was tried first on animals.b) Future medical research is dependent on the use of animals.c) Medical research is also a good way of using unwanted animals.2) The case against using animals in research:a) Animals suffer a lot during the experiments.b) Much of the research is unnecessary.c) Animals have the same rights as humans do.3) Some alternative ways for scientists to do their research:a) Using cell culture.b) Using computer modeling.Exercise B is designed to help the students get an outline of the passage, and to help them understand both the main idea and the supporting details. It is recommended that the students first take notes without referring to the outline given in the textbook and then fill in the missing information based on their notes. If some of the students find it difficult to finish the task, they may read the outline, and fill in the blanks while listening.Visitors to the National Zoo in Washington D.C. can see three new young tigers. The rare babies met the public for the first time late lastmonth. Chip O'Neal tells us about them.The mother tiger sat nearby on the grass as her babies rolled, chased and bit each other playfully. Then Korenchy also jumped into the games. Her cubs were born at the zoo four months ago. They are called Mike, Eric and Chrisy. The new young tigers at the National Zoo each weigh about 13 kilograms. The fur is dark orange with black stripes. They eat horse meat and drink milk from Korenchy.Korenchy and her babies are Sumatran tigers. Sumatran tigers came from the Indonesian island of Sumatra. They are now in danger of disappearing from the earth. Fewer than 500 of these tigers remain in the world. That includes about 60 living in zoos in North America.Korenchy came to the National Zoo from the Jakarta Zoo in Indonesia. The gift was part of the Sumatran Tiger Species Survival Program. Korenchy has given birth to live cubs three times. The father of her new cubs is Rokan, a Sumatran tiger who arrived two years ago from another zoo. Korenchy and Rokan had their babies the natural way instead of the scientific method often used to produce young animals in zoos.A wire fence separates Rokan from his babies. Zoo workers who care for Rokan say he reaches through the fence to wash the cubs with his tongue. They say this means he recognizes Mike, Eric and Chrisy as his cubs. However, zoo officials are hoping that Rokan will produce more cubs with another female Sumatran tiger at the zoo, so they do not want him to become too interested in this family.The National Zoo hopes to keep the Sumatran tiger cubs for at least 18 months before sending them to other zoos. That is about the age when most tiger cubs in the wild leave theirmothers. The National Zoo has placed cameras in the Sumatran tigers' living area, so people with computers can see them. To do this, use your computer to find the National Zoo's Website at /natzoo.(Length: 3 min. 40 sec.)Key:A. Answer the following questions.1) Was the mother tiger born in the National Zoo as well?Key: No.2) Why is the father tiger separated from his cubs?Key: Because zoo officials want him to produce cubs with another female tiger, so they don't want him to become too interested in this family.B. Complete the following sentences with what you hear on the tape.1) The young tigers are four months old.2) Each of them weighs about 13 kilograms.3) They eat horse meat and drink their mother's milk.4) People with computers can see the daily life of these tigers by visiting theNational Zoo's Website at /natzoo.C. Choose the best answer to each of the following questions.1) How many Sumatran tigers remain in the world? ( C)a) About 60. b) More than 500. c) Less than 500.2) Korenchy has given birth to ( C)a) three cubs b) four cubs c) five or more cubs3) After 18 months, these cubs will be sent ( b)a) to the wild b) to other zoos c) to the Jakarta ZooCats in AmericaAn old expression says, "Man's best friend is his dog." Today, however, it seems that cats have replaced dogs as the most popular pets in American homes.Americans have more than 62 million pet dogs. But even more cats--more than 64 million-- live in American homes.These pet cats may have long hair or short hair. They are different colors and sizes. Some are costly animals that take part in competitions. Many more are common American mixtures of several kinds of cats.Most house cats live a good life. They are not expected to work for their food. Instead, they rule their homes like furry kings and queens. They wait for their owners to serve them.Americans are increasingly serious about their cats. These concerns have made the care of cats into big business.Each year, cat owners buy tons of food especially prepared for cats. They buy toys and other equipment. They buy jewelry and clothes for themselves with images of cats on them. Some owners even bury their dead pets in special burial grounds.Humans have loved and respected cats for centuries. Scientists have evidence that cats and people lived together as long as 8,000 years ago. The small house cat was once a highly honored animal. In ancient Egypt for example, people who killed a cat could be punished by death.Early in American history cats were not treated as gods,however. They probably arrived in the United States with settlers and traders from Europe. These cats worked. They killed rats and mice.Sometimes, Americans mistreated their cats. During the early days of the nation, religious extremists believed that some cats were working for the devil. Black cats were especially suspected of being evil.Later, American families who had enough food began taking cats into their homes. People cared for the cats because the animals gave them pleasure. The cats thanked people for feeding them by making a purringsound. This pleasant noise usually means a cat is happy.Animal experts offer several reasons why cats have become so popular as house pets. They say cats need less care than dogs. And cats do not seem to suffer as much as dogs from being alone if the owners are away. Still, millions of other people do not like cats at all. They say dogs are better and more loving pets. They say cats do not have much feeling. They believe cats stay with people only to be fed. Cat owners defend their pets against such criticism. They say cats are just much more independent than dogs.A student of animal medicine explains the situation this way: dogs follow you around—they want you to talk to them and play with them a lot of the time. Cats like more space and more privacy----does not mean they do not love their owners.(Lenght: 4 min. 27 sec.)A. Answer the following questions.1) Which have become more popular in America, dogs or cats? How do you know that? Key: Cats have become morepopular, because there are more pet cats in American homes.2) How long have humans had cats in their homes?Key: About 8,000 years.3) Where did American house cats come from?Key: They probably arrived in the United States from Europe.4) Cats have been treated well in the United States all along, haven't they? Key: No.B. Fill in the missing words in the summary.1) The care of cats has become a big business, because cat owners:a) buy tons of food especially prepared for cats.b) buy toys and other equipment.c) buy things with images of cats on them.d) bury their dead pets in special burial grounds.2) People who prefer cats say cats:a) give their owners pleasure.b) need less care.c) suffer less from being alone.d) are more independent.C. Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F) accord-in9 to the tape.1) Most house cats lived a good life. [ F ]2) Early American cats were treated like gods. [ F ]3) Black cats were once suspected working for the devil. [ T ]4) Cats are treated like fairy kings and queens. [ F ]5) Cats want you to talk to them a lot. [ F ]All the exercises for this passage are designed to help the students get details. In Exercise C, sentence 4) may cause someproblem. For some students the word "furry" may sound similar to "fairy". Make the students aware that in listening comprehension context is very important too. "Cats are treated like fairy kings and queens" simply doesn't make sense, therefore it's false.Little Steve has a pet rabbit, Bunny. He plays with it every day after school. One day his mother sees that her little boy is holding Bunny by the ears. From time to time he gives the poor rabbit an angry shake and says, "How much is two plus two? Steve," says his mother, "why do you treat your poor little Bunny that way?""Well," explains Steve angrily, "our teacher says that rabbits multiply very quickly, but this dummy can't even add."(Length: 40 sec.)This is a humorous story. First do the dictation. Then call the students' attention to the word "multiply" which can mean "produce large numbers of offspring" or "add a number to itself a particular number of times". The boy misunderstood, hence the humour.Script:Most mammals live on land, but not all of them. Millions of years ago, some mammals went back to the sea and lived there.The legs of these animals disappeared, and after a long time they looked like fish. These animals became whales and dolphins.Whales and dolphins are still like other mammals in many ways. They are warm-blooded and they breathe air. They also have big brains. That is why they are more intelligent than fish. Whales have the biggest brains in the world. Their brain is bigger than the brain of a human being.(Length: 50 sec.)Objectives:0 Understand what animals are being described.Get to know more about animals.Get to know more about how man and animals co-exist.Catch main ideas and supporting details.0 Have practice in liaison and contraction.1) They live in Africa and India.

英语中级听力Lesson 1原文
Lesson 1'This Is Your Life' is one of the most popular programmes on British and American television. Every week a famous person is invited to a television studio, without knowing that he or she will be the subject of the programme. The compère meets the person outside the studio and says 'This is your life!' The person then meets friends and relatives from his or her past and present. Studio 4 is where the programme is recorded. The programme begins at eight o'clock. It's 6:45 now and the director is checking the preparations with his new production assistant (PA). The subject of tonight's show will be an actor, Jason Douglas. The compère, as usual, will be Terry Donovan. Director: Let's just check the arrangements. We're bringing Jason Douglas here in a studio car—he thinks he's coming to a discussion programme! The driver has been told to arrive at exactly 7:55. Now, the programme begins at eight o'clock. At that time Jason will be walking to the studio. Terry Donovan will start his introduction at 8:01, and Jason will arrive at 8:02. Terry will meet him at the studio entrance ... Camera 4 will be there. Then he'll take him to that seat. It'll be on Camera 3. Jason will be sitting there during the whole programme. For most of the show Terry will be standing in the middle, and he'll be on Camera 2. The guests will come through that door, talk to Terry and Jason ... and then sit over there.Director: Now, is that all clear?PA: Yes ... there's just one thing.Director: Well, what is it?PA: Who's going to look after the guests during the show?Director: Pauline is.PA: And where will they be waiting during the show?Director: In Room 401, as usual. Pauline will be waiting with them, and she'll be watching the show on the monitor. She'll tell them two minutes before they enter.PA: I think that's everything.Terry: Good evening and welcome to 'This is Your Life'. This is Terry Donovan speaking. We're waiting for the subject of tonight's programme. He's one of the world's leading actors, and he thinks he's coming here to take part in a discussion programme ... I can hear him now ... yes, here he is! Jason Douglas ... This is your life!Jason: Oh, no ... I don't believe it! Not me ...Terry: Yes, you! Now come over here and sit down. Jason, you were born at number 28 Balaclava Street in East Ham, London on July 2nd, 1947. You were one of six children, and your father was a taxi driver. Of course, your name was then Graham Smith.Terry: Now, do you know this voice? 'I remember Jason when he was two. He used to scream and shout all day.'Jason: Susan!Terry: Yes ... all the way from Sydney, Australia ... She flew here specially for this programme. It's your sister, Susan Fraser!Jason: Susan ... Why didn't you tell me ... oh, this is wonderful!Terry: Yes, you haven't seen each other for 13 years ... take a seat next to him, Susan. You started school at the age of five, in 1952, and in 1958 you moved to Lane End Secondary School. Terry: Do you remember this voice? 'Smith! Stop looking out of the window!'Jason: Oh, no! It's Mr. Hooper!Terry: Your English teacher, Mr. Stanley Hooper. Was Jason a good student, Mr. Hooper?Mr. Hooper: Eh? No, he was the worst in the class ... but he was a brilliant actor, even in those days. He could imitate all the teachers?Terry: Thank you, Mr. Hooper. You can speak to Jason, later. Well, you went to the London School of Drama in 1966, and left in 1969. In 1973 you went to Hollywood.Terry: Do you know this voice? 'Hi Jason ... Can you ride a horse yet?'Jason: Maria!Terry: Maria Montrose ... who's come from Hollywood to be with you tonight.Maria: Hello, Jason ... it's great to be here. Hello, Terry. Jason and I were in a movie together in 1974. Jason had to learn to ride a horse ... Well, Jason doesn't like horses very much.Jason: Like them! I'm terrified of them!Maria: Anyway, he practised for two weeks. Then he went to the director ... it was Charles Orson ... and said, 'What do you want me to do?' Charles said, 'I want you to fall off the horse'. Jason was furious. He said, 'What? Fall off! I've been practising for two weeks ... I could fall off the first day ... without any practice!'Interviewer: Good morning, sir.

I live and work in London.Patricia: But at one time you used to have a different job?Trevor: Yes, I was a soldier.Patricia: A soldier?Trevor: That's right.Patricia: And how long ago was that?Trevor: Oh, about two thousand years ago.Patricia: That's right. Trevor Cartridge believes that he was a soldier in the army of Julius Caesar. He remembers coming to Britain with the Roman army two thousand years ago. Trevor, tell us your remarkable story ... in your own words!Trevor: Well, funnily enough, it all began because I wanted to give up smoking.Patricia: Give up smoking!Trevor: Mm, I used to smoke too much and I tried to give up several times, but I always started smoking again a few days later. In the end I went to a hypnotist. He hypnotized me, and I stopped smoking at once. I was delighted, as you can imagine.Patricia: Yes?Trevor: That made me very interested in hypnotism, and I talked to the hypnotist about it. He told me that some people could remember their past lives when they were hypnotized, and he asked if I wanted to try. I didn't believe it at first, but in the end I agreed. He hypnotized me, and sure enough, I remembered. I was a Roman soldier in Caesar's army.Patricia: You didn't believe it at first?Trevor: I didn't believe it before we tried the experiment. Now I'm absolutely convinced it's true.Patricia: What do you remember?Trevor: Oh, all kinds of things, but the most interesting thing I remember is the night we landed in Britain.Patricia: You remember that?Trevor: Oh yes. It was a terrible, stormy night. There were a hundred or more of us in the boat. We were all shut in, because the weather was so bad and most people were sick, because it was very stuffy. There was a terrible smell of petrol, I remember. Lots of men thought we should go back to France. It wasn't called 'France' then, of course.Patricia: And there was a smell of petrol?Trevor: Yes, it was terrible. The weather got worse and worse. We thought we were going to die. In the end the boat was pushed up onto the sands, and we climbed out. I remember jumping into the water and struggling to the beach. The water was up to my shoulders and it was a freezing night. A lot of men were killed by the cold or drowned in the storm, but I managed to get ashore.Patricia: You did?Trevor: Yes. There were about ten survivors from our boat, but even then our troubles weren't over. We found a farmhouse, but it was deserted. When the people read the newspapers, and knew that we were coming, they were terrified. They took all their animals and all their food, and ran away into the hills. Of course, there were no proper roads in those days. Well, we went into the house and tried to light a fire, but we couldn't even do that. We always kept matches in our trousers' pockets, so naturally they were all soaked. We couldn't find anything to eat, except one tin of cat food. We were so hungry, we broke it open with our knives, and ate it. We found a tap, but the water was frozen. In the end we drank rainwater from the tin. We sat very close together and tried to keep warm. We could hear wolves but we didn't have any weapons, because our guns were full of seawater. By the morning, the storm was over. We went on to the beach and found what was left of the boat. We managed to find some food, and we hoped there was some wine too, but when we opened the box all the bottles were broken.Patricia: So what happened?Trevor: We waited. Finally another boat came and took us away, and we joined the other soldiers.I remember going into the camp, and getting a hot meal, and clean clothes. It was wonderful. We were given our pay, too. I remember the date on the coins, 50 BC. It was an exciting time.Patricia: And did you stay in Britain?Trevor: Oh yes, I was here for five years, from 50 BC to 55 BC. I enjoyed my stay in Britain very much.Patricia: And then you went back to Rome?Trevor: I can't remember anything after that.Patricia: Well, Trevor Cartridge, thank you for telling us your story, in your own words.(1) Bob, do you think you could possibly turn off that radio? I'm (pause) trying to write a letter.(2) A: I don't want a double room. I want a single room.B: I'm sorry, sir, but I'm afraid 43 (pause) is the only single room available at the moment. (3) A: Just look what I've got.B: Let me see. Fifty pounds! (pause) Where on earth did you get it?(4) A: Oh bother the Sex Discrimination Act. Surely they can't force me to take on a married woman.B: They can't force you to, Mr. Clark, but (pause) you mustn't discriminate against someone just because they're married.(5) A: I'm glad I'm not a princess. It must be a dreadful life.B: Dreadful? (pause) I wouldn't mind being a prince.(6) I'm a reasonably hard-working person. But (pause) I'm not a workaholic.(7) A: Had your brother been nervous about it himself?B: Well, he didn't say, but possibly (pause) he had been.The KnowledgeBecoming a London taxi driver isn't easy. In order to obtain a licence to drive a taxi in London, candidates have to pass a detailed examination. They have to learn not only the streets, landmarks and hotels, but also the quickest way to get there. This is called 'The Knowledge' by London cab drivers and it can take years of study and practice to get 'The Knowledge'. Candidates are examined not only on the quickest routes but also on the quickest routes at different times of the day. People who want to pass the examination spend much of their free time driving or even cycling around London, studying maps and learning the huge street directory by heart.The UndergroundTravelling on the London underground (the 'tube') presents few difficulties for visitors because of the clear colour-coded maps. It is always useful to have plenty of spare change with you because there are often long queues at the larger stations. If you have enough change you can buy your ticket from a machine. You will find signs which list the stations in alphabetical order, with the correct fares, near the machines. There are automatic barriers which are operated by the tickets. You should keep the ticket, because it is checked at the destination.。
