The World Health Organization, or WHO, estimates that more than 300,000 women die every year during pregnancy or childbirth. Each year, about 2.6 million babies are stillborn and another 2.7 million babies die during the first 28 days of life, it said.世界卫生组织估计每年有超过30万女性在妊娠或分娩期间死亡。

该组织称每年大约有260万婴儿死产，还有270万婴儿在出生28天内死亡。

Most of the deaths are taking place in South Asia and in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert. Many of the deaths could have been avoided with quality health care, WHO officials said.这些死亡案例大部分发生在南亚和撒哈拉以南非洲。

世界卫生组织__表示，其中多数死亡原本可以通过优质医疗服务来避免。

Another problem is that nearly all babies who are stillborn and half of all newborn deaths are never documented. Those deaths are not reportedto or investigated by government health agencies.另一个问题是，几乎所有死产婴儿以及半数的新生儿死亡从来没有登记。

What about?A: One of the press operators arrived an hour and a half late.B: But that's a straightforward affair. He will simply lose partof his pay. That's why we have a clock-in system.A: But the point is the man was clocked-in at 8 o'clock. We have John standing by the time clock, and he swears he saw nothing irregular.B: Is John reliable?A: Yes, he is. That's why we chose him for the job.B: Have you spoken to the man who was late?A: Not yet. I thought I'd have a word with you first. He's a difficult man, and I think there's been some trouble on the shop floor. I've got a feeling that trade union representative is behind this. The manager told me that Jack Green's been very active around the shop the last few days.B: Well, what do you want me to do?A: I was wondering if you'd see Smith, the man who was late, because you are so much better at handling things like this.B: Oh, alright. I'll see him. I must say I agree with you about there being bad feelings in the works. I've had the idea for sometime that Jack Green's been busy stirring things up in connectionwith the latest wage claim. He's always trying to make trouble. Well, I'll get the manager to send Smith up here.Q8. What will happen to the press operator who was late for the work according to the woman?Q9. What does the man say about John who stands by the time clock?Q10. Why does the man suggest the woman see the worker who was late?Q11. What does the woman say about Jack Green?Conversation 2A: Our topic today is about somethings that foreigners nearly always say when they visit Britain. It's 'Why are the British so cold?' And they're talking about the British personality – thefamous British 'reserve'. It means that we aren't very friendly, we aren't very open.B: So do you think it's true?A: It's a difficult one. So many people who visit Britain sayit's difficult to make friends with British people. They say we're cold, reserved, unfriendly...B: I think it's true. Look at Americans or Australians. They speak the same language, but they're much more open. And you see it when you travel, people - I mean strangers - speak to you on the street or on the train. British people seldom speak on the train. Or the bus. Not in London, anyway.A: 'Not in London'. That's it. Capital cities are full of tourists and are never very friendly. People are different in other parts of the country.B: Not completely. I met a woman once, an Italian. She's been working in Manchester for two years,and no one - not one of her colleagues - had ever invited her to their home. They were friendly to her at work, but nothing else. She couldn't believe it. She said that would never happen in Italy.A: You know what they say – 'an Englishman's home is his castle'. It’s really difficult to get inside.B: Yeah. It's about being private. You go home to your house and your garden and you close the door. It's your place.A: That's why the British don't like flats. They prefer to livein houses.B: That’s true.Q12. What do foreigners generally think of British people according to the woman?Q13. What may British people typically do one the train according to the man?Q14. What does the man say about the Italian woman working in Manchester?Q15. Why do British people prefer houses to flats?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear three or four questions.

At the same time, expenses in college pile up surprisingly quickly. A part time job is a good way to balance costs while ensuring there is enough time left over for both academic subjects and after-class activities.If you are a college student looking for a part time job, the best place to start your job search is right on campus. There are tons of on-campus job opportunities, and as a student, you’ll automatically be given hiring priority. Plus, on-campus jobs eliminate commuting time, and could be a great way to connect with academic and professional resources at your university. Check withyour school’s career service or employment office for help to find a campus job. Of course, there are opportunities for part-time workoff-campus, too. If you spend a little time digging for the right part time jobs, you’ll save yourself time when you find a job that leaves you with enough time to get your school work done, too. If you are a college student looking for work but worry you won’t have enough time to devote to academic subjects, consider working as a study hall or a library monitor. Responsibilities generally include supervising study spaces to ensure that a quiet atmosphere is maintained. It’s a pretty easy job, but one with lots of downtime-which means you will have plenty of time to catch up on reading, do homework or study for an exam.Q16: What does the speaker say about college students applyingfor on-campus jobs?Q17: What can students do to find a campus job according to the speaker?Q18: What does the speaker say is a library monitor’s responsibility?Passage TwoAgricultural workers in green tea fields near Mt. Kenya are gathering the tea leaves. It is beautiful to see. The rows of tea bushes are straight. All appears to be well. But the farmers who planted the bushes are worried. Nelson Kibara is one of them. He has been growing tea in the Kerugoya area for 40 years.He says the prices this year have been so low that he has made almost no profit. He says he must grow different kinds of tea if he is to survive.Mr. Kibara and hundreds of other farmers have been removing some of their tea bushes and planting a new kind of tea developed by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya. Its leaves are purple and brown. When the tea is boiled, the drink has a purple color. Medical researchers have studied the health benefits of the new tea. They say it is healthier than green tea and could be sold for a price that is three to four times higher than the price of green tea.But Mr. Kibara says he has not received a higher price for his purple tea crop.He says the market for the tea is unstable and he is often forced to sell his purple tea for the same price as green tea leaves. Hesays there are not enough buyers willing to pay more for the purple tea.Q19. Why have tea farmers in Kenya decided to grow purple tea?Q20. What do researchers say about purple tea?Q21. What does Mr. Kibara find about purple tea?Passage ThreeToday's consumers want beautiful handcrafted s to wear and tohave for their home environment. They prefer something unique andthey demand quality. Craftsmen today are meeting this demand. People and homes are showing great change as more and more uniquehandcrafted items become available. Handcrafts are big business. No long does a good craftsman have to work in a job he dislikes all day and then try to create at night. He has earned his professional status. He is now a respected member of society. Parts of the fun of being a craftsman is meeting other craftsmen. They love to sharetheir ideas and materials and help others find markets for their work. Craftsmen have helped educate consumers to make wise choices. They help them become aware of design and technique. They help them relate their choice to its intended use. They often involve consumers intrying the craft themselves. When a group of craftsmen expends to include more members, a small craft organization is formed. Such an organization does a lot in training workshops in special media, craft marketing techniques, craft fairs and sales, festivals, TV appearances and demonstrations. State art councils help sponsor local arts and crafts festivals which draw crowds of tourist consumers.This boosts the local economy considerably because tourists not only buy crafts, but they also use the restaurants and hotels and other services of the area.Q22. What does the speaker say about today's consumers?Q23. What does the speaker say about a good craftsman in the past?Q24. What do craftsmen help consumers do?Q25.

四级考试听力资料

四级考试听力资料3b3-1Passage OneIn the U.S., when people attain legal marriage age and meet certain medical requirements, they 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 a 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 wedding announcements or invitations to friends and relatives.O n the wedding day it is supposed to be bad luck for the bride and bridegroom to see each other before the wedding.Another old custom that many 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 bridegroom 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 ancient times when a strong friend helped the bridegroom escape from the bride’s father.When a couple gets married, 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 reception, which is offered by the bride’s parents, the bride throws her bunch of flowers to the unmarried women. The lucky girl who catches it is supposed to be the next one to get married.21. What could be the best title for this passage?A) American Marriage Customs. B) The Newly Married Couples.C) Marriage—an important event in one’s life.D) Disappearance of Old Marriage Customs.22. What are the requirements for young people to get married?A) To meet each other’s parents and get their approval.B) To prepare everything needed on the wedding day.C) To send invitations to their good friends and relatives.D) To reach the legal age and meet certain medical requirements.23. Why are the bride and groom not allowed to see each other according to the old customs?A) It has been written in the law.B) It has been handed down from the old generations.C) It is said that meeting before ceremony will bring bad luck.D) It might cause a big trouble to both the hosts and guests.24. What does the custom of choosing a “best man” for the groom imply?A) The man is the groom’s good friend. B) The groom is still in need of protection.C) The bride’s brothers might be strong and object to the marriage.D) The bride’s father would not allow his daughter to be taken away.Passage TwoA Japanese toy maker declares that they have developed a device that translates dog barks into human language and plans to begin selling the device—under the name of Bowlingual—in the U.S. pet stores and gift shops this summer of 2003.Tokyo-based Takara Co. Ltd. says about 300,000 of the dog translator gadgets have been sold since it was on sale in Japan late last year. It is forecasting far bigger sales once an English language translation for dogs comes to America in August. The United States is home to about 67 million dogs, six times more than the number in Japan.“We know that the Americans love their dogs so much, so we don’t think they will mind spending $120 on this product,”the Takara marketing manager said during an interview at a recent pet products conference in Atlanta.Takara Co. Ltd says it has spent millions of dollars developing the gadget in cooperation with famous sound experts and animal behaviorists.One thing that does appear certain is that the markets for animal translation products will likely remain a dog’s world since Takara has no plans to develop a similar gadget for cats. “They, are too unpredictable,” the marketing manager said.25. What do we know about Bowlingual according to the passage?A) It was invented in America. B) It has developed quickly.C) It will be sold in America. D) It sells well for its price.26. When did the product begin to be on sale in Japan?A) In the winter of 2002. B) In the spring of 2003.C) In the summer of 2002. D) In the autumn of 2003.27. What is the attitude of Takara Co. Ltd. towards the sale ofits new product?A) Proud. B) Satisfied. C) Confident. D) Worried.Passage ThreeBillionaires are killed by the same thing s that kill the rest of us; diseases such as cancer, heart attacks, kidney failure and others. The only difference is they may live a little longer.The average age of death for the 20 billionaires featured in 2004 and 2005 was 78, three and a half years longer than average American males.The results would be even more dramatic if we took into account average life expectancies from around the world, since the billionaires are of all different nationalities.According to a 1999study in the British Medical Journal, higher income is, in fact, “casually associated with greater longevity.”But when it comes to living longer, billionaires may not be that much better off than mere millionaires.The rich not only tend to live longer, but are healthier as well. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 23% of poor people are limited by chronic disease, whereas only 10%of “non-poor,” are limited.What accounts for these gaps? Traditional theories argue that greater wealth means greater access to medical care. But as Forbes’Dan Seligman points out in his June 2004 ar ticle, if access was the key, the health gap between the upper and lower classes should have shrunk with the advent of America’s Medicare and Medicaid, not to mention employer-sponsored health insurance.28. What is the average age of death for American males?A) 81.5 B) 78 C) 76 D) 74.529. Which of the following statement is true?A) Millionaires live longer, but they tend to have more healthproblems.B) Billionaires and millionaires have almost the same longevity.C) Poor people have more health problems than millionaires.D) Billionaires have more health problems than poor people.30.
