For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.A Grassroots RemedyMost of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. To this end, we walk the dog, play golf, go fishing, sit in the garden, drink outside rather than inside the pub, have a picnic, live in the suburbs, go to the seaside, buy a weekend place in the country. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. And when joggers (慢跑者) jog, they don’t run the streets. Every one of them instinctively heads to the park or the river. It is my profound belief that not only do we all need nature, but we all seek nature, whether we know we are doing so or not.But despite this, our children are growing up nature-deprived (丧失). I spent my boyhood climbing trees on Streatham Common, South London. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and odd new perceptions about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.A study in Sweden indicated that kindergarten children who could play in a natural environment had less illness and greater physical ability than children used only to a normal playground.A US study suggested that when a school gave children access to a natural environment, academic levels were raised across the entire school.Another study found that children play differently in a natural environment. In playgrounds, children create a hierarchy (等级) based on physical abilities, with the tough ones taking the lead. But when a grassy area was planted with bushes, the children got much more into fantasy play, and the social hierarchy was now based on imagination and creativity.Most bullying (恃强凌弱) is found in schools where there is a tarmac (柏油碎石) playground; the least bullying is in a natural area that the children are encouraged to explore. This reminds me unpleasantly of Sunnyhill School in Streatham, with its harsh tarmac, where I used to hang about in corners fantasising aboutwildlife.But children are frequently discouraged from involvement with natural spaces, for health and safety reasons, for fear that they might get dirty or that they might cause damage. So, instead, the damage is done to the children themselves: not to their bodies but to their souls.One of the great problems of modern childhood is ADHD, now increasingly and expensively treated with drugs. Yet one study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing emphasis for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.In wider and more difficult areas of life, there is evidence to indicate that natural surroundings improve all kinds of things. Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.Dr William Bird, researcher from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, states in his study, “A natural environment can reduce violent behaviour because its restorative process helps reduce anger and impulsive behaviour.”Wild places need encouraging for this reason, no matter how small their contribution.We tend to look on nature conservation as some kind of favour that human beings are granting to the natural world. The error here is far too deep: not only do humans need nature for themselves, but the very idea that humanity and the naturalworld are separable things is profoundly damaging.Human beings are a species of mammals (哺乳动物). For seven million years they lived on the planet as part of nature. Our ancestral selves miss the natural world and long for contact with non-human life. Anyone who has patted a dog, stroked a cat, sat under a tree with a pint of beer, given or received a bunch of flowers or chosen to walk through the park on a nice day, understands that.We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health, our happiness. Without the wild world we are not more but less civilised. Without other living things around us we are less than human.Five ways to find harmony with the natural worldWalk: Break the rhythm of permanently being under a roof. Get off a stop earlier, make a circuit of the park at lunchtime, walk the child to and from school, get a dog, feel yourself moving in moving air, look, listen, absorb.Sit: Take a moment, every now and then, to be still in an open space. In the garden, anywhere that’s not in the office, anywhere out of the house, away from the routine. Sit under a tree, look at water, feel refreshed, ever so slightly renewed.Drink: The best way to enjoy the natural world is by yourself; the second best way is in company. Take a drink outside with a good person, a good gathering: talk with the sun and the wind with birdsong for background.Learn: Expand your boundaries. Learn five species of bird, five butterflies, five trees, five bird songs. That way, you see and hear more: and your mind responds gratefully to the greater amount of wildness in your life.Travel: The places you always wanted to visit: by the seaside,in the country, in the hills. Take a weekend break, a day-trip, get out there and do it: for the scenery, for the way through the woods, for the birds, for the bees. Go somewhere special and bring specialness home. It lasts forever, after all.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

Everyone arrived on time, and Alex ‟s presentation went extremely well. He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company‟s plans. “I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of market,” the market,” he he began, “because of t he quality of people the people in in this room. The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in hisdistrict. He sets the term for everyone else. If he has ambitious goals and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example.” When Alex was finished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he hadhoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior managers. “Things were going so well until the end”, Alex said disappointedly. “Obviously, I said the wrong thing.” “Yes”, the district manager replied. “Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company‟s growth. They don‟t care at all about polit ical correctness. But they were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as …he‟ in your speech.”Q26 Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting?Q27 What did Alex want to emphasize at the end of his presentation?Q28 What do we learn about the audience at the meeting?Q29 Why did Alex fail to receive the warm response he had hoped for?Passage 2The way to complain is to act business-like and important. If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager. When the manager comes, ask his or her name. And then state your problem and what you expect to have done about it. Be polite! Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere. But also be firm in making your complaint. Besides, act important. This doesn‟t mean to put on airs and say “do you know who I am?” What it means is that people are often treated the way they expect to be treated. If you act like someone who expects a fair request to be chances granted, chances are are it will be granted. The worst way complain to complain is is over thetelephone. You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you cannot see. So you can‟t tell how the person on the line is reacting. It is easy for that person to give you the run-around. Complaining in person or by letter is generally moreeffective. If your complaint doesn‟t require an immediate response, it often helps to complain by letter. If you have an appliance that doesn‟t work, send a letter to the store that sold it. Be business-like a nd stick to the point. Don‟t spend a paragraph on how your uncle John tried to fix the problem and couldn‟t.Q30 What does the speaker suggest you do when you are not served properly at a restaurant?Q31 Why does the speaker say the worst way to complain is over the telephone? Q32 What should you do if you make a complaint by letter?Passage 3Barbara Sanders is a wife and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4. Herhusband, Tom, is an engineer and makes an excellent salary. Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing. She quit her job when she became pregnant, but is now interested in returning to work. She's been offered an excellent job with the government. Her husband feels it's unnecessary for her to work since the family does not need the added income. He also thinks that a woman should stay home with her children. If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week. Barbara, on the other hand, hasmissed the excitement of her profession and does not feel she would be satisfied doing volunteer work. She would also like to have her own income, so she does not have to ask her husband for money whenever she wants to buy something. She does not think it's necessary to stay home every day with the children and she knows a very reliable babysitter who's willing to come to her house. Tom does not think a babysitter can replace a mother and thinks it's a bad idea for the children to spend so much time with someone who's not part of the family.Q33 What was Barbara's profession before she had children?Q34 What does Barbara's husband suggest she do if she wants to work?Q35 What does Tom think about hiring a babysitter?Section CAlmost every child, on the first day he sets foot in the school building, is smarter, more curious,less afraid of what he doesn't know, better at finding and figuring things out, more confident, resourceful, persistent and independent, than he will either be again in his schooling or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life.Already, by paying close attention to and interacting with the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and abstract than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years-he has solved the mystery of language. He has discovered it. Babies don't even know that language exists.And he has found out how it works and learnt to use it appropriately. He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by trying it out and seeing whether it works, by gradually changing it and refining it until it does work.And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the concepts that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.短对话短对话11. C He can not get access to the assigned book.12. A She will drive the man to the supermarket.13. C Tidy up the place.14. A The talks can be held any day except Friday.15.

2010年12月大学英语四级听力真题的试题与答案学习啊

2010年12月大学英语四级听力真题的试题与答案学习啊

2010年12月大学英语四级听力真题的试题与答案学习啊第一篇:2010年12月大学英语四级听力真题的试题与答案学习啊学英语简单吗?肯定会有许多学生说:“难死了”。

为什么有好多学生对英语的学习都感到头疼呢?答案只有一个:“不得法。

” 英语与汉语一样都是一种语言,为什么你说汉语会如此流利?那是因为你置身于一个汉语环境中,如果你在伦敦呆上半年,保准说起英语来会非常流利。

但很多中学生没有很好的英语环境,那么你可以自己设置一个英语环境,坚持“多说”、“多听”、“多读”、“多写”,那么你的英语成绩肯定会很出色。

一、多“说”。

自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语,见了同学,尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候,谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典,遇到生词时查一下这些生词,也不用刻意去记,用的多了,这个单词自然而然就会记住。

千万别把学英语当成负担,始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。

或许你有机会碰上外国人,你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼,和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪,婚史等私人问题。

尽量用一些你学过的词汇,句子去和他谈天说地。

不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。

因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇,而且不太看重说法,你只要发音准确,准能顺利地交流下去。

只是你必须要有信心,敢于表达自己的思想。

如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系,你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象,对它谈你一天的所见所闻,谈你的快乐,你的悲伤等等,长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。

二、多“听”寻找一切可以听英语的机会。

别人用英语交谈时,你应该大胆地去参与,多听听各种各样人的发音,男女老少,节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到,如果这样的机会少的话,你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听,这将会对你帮助很大,而你去听学过的课文的磁带,那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很大的帮助。

三、多“读”。

“读”可以分为两种。

一种是“默读”。

每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你提高阅读速度有很大的好处,读的内容可以是你的课本,但最好是一些有趣的小读物,因为现在的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。

2010年6月大学英语四级考试真题解析+听力原文

2010年6月大学英语四级考试答案及解析作文参考(A)Nowadays, students attach less importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study. This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon. First, exam-oriented education makes the students pay less attention to spelling. Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching. Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it. As for me, I think, first, exams should be modified to add some factors into it, which would help students pay more attention to spelling. Then, schools should also set effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as the students to realize the importance. Finally, for students themselves, they can, through other ways, make them be interested in word spelling. Only by these can we surly realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.(B)What is hot for 2010 in our colleges? It is the spelling mistakes. Countless students lack due attention to spelling. Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list, the one may be “challenge”. Freshman and sophomore almost write this word as “challenge”. How careless they are!Why such a phenomenon sweeps every university? Some experts attribute it to students’ inattention, because students always pay no attention to spelling. However, other experts argue, the teachers should be blamed for this situation. In my opinion, it is far beyond any reasonable doubt that both of them should exert themselves to change the spelling mistakes.As far as I’m concerned, I firmly argue that we need to attach great importance to word-spelling. To the students, they should write English as much as they can. Meanwhile, to the teachers, the dictations should be reinforced in the class.快速阅读1.

Why did the women find the job appealing?24. What has the woman been doing in Geneva?25. What was the woman asked to do in the end?篇章1One of the greatest heartbreaks for firefighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building because the child, frightened by the smoke and noise, hides under a bed over a closet, and is later found dead. Saddest of all is when children catch the gleams of the masked firefighter but hide, because they think they have seen a monster. To prevent such tragedies, firefighter Eric Voles gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays firefighter‟s equipment including the oxygen mask which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. “If you see us”, Voles tells them, “don‟t hide, weare not monsters. We‟ve come to rescue you.” Voles gives his presentations in English and Spanish, growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents. Vulres and other firefighters throughout the North America who give similar presentations will never know how many lives they‟ve saved through their talks. But it‟s a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pea Gangatre in North Carolina rescued his brother who was chocking on food by using the method taught by student speaker Julie Perris. In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 26: Why did some children trapped in the burning building hide from masked firefighters?Question 27: What does this passage tell us about firefighter Eric Voles?Question 28: What do we learn about Pea Ganatre?Question 29: What message is the speaker trying to convey?篇章2Some people may want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early. I‟‟ve seen people pursuing higher pay and increasingly demanding careers to accomplish this goal. They make many personal sacrifices in exchange for income today. The problem is that tomorrow might not come even if all goes according to plan.We don‟t know how to be happy when you are not working.if we spend our entire life making money. More importantly, who will be around for you to share your lesuire time with? At the other extreme are people who live only for today. “Why bother save when tomorrow may not come.?” they argue. The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all. Our most people don‟t want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living. The earlier neglected saving however makes it difficult not to work when you are older. You may be surprised to hear me say that if you must pick an extreme, I think it‟s better to pick the spend-all approach. As long as you don't mind continuing to work assuming your healthy lives you should be ok. At least you are making use of your money and hopefully deriving value and pleasure from it. Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake It may never come. Retirement can be a great time for some people, for others it is a time of boredom, loneliness and poor health.question 30-32 are based on the passage you have just heard.question 30 Why do some people pursue higher pay and demanding careers?question 31 What is the danger facing people who live only for today?question 32 What does the speaker seem to advocate?篇章3Imagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion, how fair would that be? Well! It happens everyday tohigh-schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves. Even though I never steal, store employees look at me like I‟m some kind of hardened criminal. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Danny and I went to the Grabbing-Gorestaurant to have a hot dog. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story-----“no more than two students at a time”. After fifteen minutes, we finally got in. But the store manager laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he said, “You kids are stealing too much stuff!” “You kids? Too much stuff?” We were not only assumed to be thieves, but brilliant, greedy thieves. The most annoying thing though, is the way the employees watch my friend and me. It‟s horrible! Once, at a drug store, I was looking around and found a guy standing on a large box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands more than he was watching his own. I showed him that my hands were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off as if he was going to get the store manager. How crazy is that!Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q33: What does the speaker find to be unfair?Q34: What measure did the Grabbing-Go restaurant take to stop stealing?Q35: What happened in a drug store that greatly annoyed the speaker?复合式听写Writing keeps us in touch with other people. We write to communicate with relatives and friends. We write to preserve our family histories so our children and grandchildren can learn and appreciate their heritage. With computers and Internet connections in so many households, colleges and businesses, people are emailing friends and relatives all the time. We‟re talking to them in writing in online chat rooms. It is cheaper than calling long distance and a lot more convenient than waiting until Sunday for the telephone rates to drop. Students are emailing their professors to receive and discuss their classroom assignments and to submit them. They‟re emailing classmates to discuss and collaborate on homework. They‟re a lso sharing information about concerts and sports events as well as jokes and their philosophies of life. Despite the growing importance of computers, however, there‟ll always be a place and need for the personal letter. A handwritten note to a friend or a family member is the best way to communicate important thoughts. No matter what content of the message, its real point is I want you to know that I care about you.

吃巧克力有益健康吗英语作文

吃巧克力有益健康吗英语作文

吃巧克力有益健康吗英语作文English Answer:Consuming chocolate in moderation has been associated with several potential health benefits, albeit with some caveats to consider.Cardiovascular Health:Cocoa, a key component of chocolate, is rich in flavonoids, which possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

There’s lots of evidence that dark chocolate is good for you, but until pretty recently, scientists didn’t know exactly why.Candy HeartsNow there may be an answer.

吃巧克力的好处英语作文

吃巧克力的好处英语作文

吃巧克力的好处英语作文Indulging in the Delightful Delights of ChocolateChocolate, a beloved treat that has captivated the hearts and taste buds of people around the world, is not just a guilty pleasure but a veritable treasure trove of health benefits. From its rich, velvety texture to its complex flavor profile, chocolate has long been revered for its ability to bring joy and satisfaction to those who indulge in its delectable goodness. In this essay, we will explore the myriad of advantages that come with incorporating this divine confection into our daily lives.One of the primary benefits of consuming chocolate is its potential to improve cardiovascular health. Cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate, is rich in flavonoids, a class of antioxidants that have been shown to have a positive impact on the function of the cardiovascular system. These antioxidants can help to lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of blood clots, and improve the overall health of the arteries and blood vessels. Studies have also suggested that regular consumption of dark chocolate, which is higher in cocoa content, can help to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and increase HDL (good) cholesterol, further contributing to a healthier heart.In addition to its cardiovascular benefits, chocolate has also been linked to improved cognitive function. The flavonoids present in cocoa have been found to enhance blood flow to the brain, which can in turn improve memory, attention, and overall cognitive performance. Furthermore, chocolate contains small amounts of stimulants like caffeine and theobromine, which can provide a gentle boost in energy and alertness, making it an ideal snack for those seeking a mental pick-me-up.Another remarkable advantage of consuming chocolate is its potential to alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. Chocolate contains compounds like tryptophan and phenylethylamine, which can trigger the release of feel-good neurotransmitters like serotonin and endorphins in the brain. These chemicals can help to elevate mood, reduce stress, and promote a sense of well-being, making chocolate a natural and delicious way to improve mental health.Interestingly, chocolate has also been shown to have positive effects on the skin. The antioxidants present in cocoa can help to protect the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals, which can lead to premature aging and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, the fats in chocolate can help to moisturize and nourish the skin, leaving it soft, supple, and radiant.Furthermore, chocolate has been linked to improved bone health. The magnesium and other minerals found in cocoa can help to promote the absorption of calcium, which is essential for maintaining strong and healthy bones. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who are at risk of developing osteoporosis or other bone-related conditions.It is important to note, however, that not all chocolate is created equal. While the health benefits of chocolate are well-documented, it is crucial to choose high-quality, dark chocolate that is higher in cocoa content and lower in added sugars and unhealthy fats. Moderation is also key, as consuming large quantities of chocolate can lead to weight gain and other adverse health effects.In conclusion, the delightful delights of chocolate extend far beyond its rich and indulgent taste. From its cardiovascular benefits to its positive effects on cognitive function, mental health, and skin health, chocolate is a true superfood that deserves a place in our daily lives. By incorporating small portions of high-quality dark chocolate into our diets, we can enjoy the numerous health advantages it has to offer while still indulging in the pure pleasure of this beloved treat.。

英语学习资料:吃巧克力对心脏有益Eating chocolate on a regular basis may be associated to a lower risk of heart disease, according to a new study published online by Heart on Tuesday. Researchers have discovered a link between moderate chocolate intake and a lowered risk for atrial fibrillation or flutter (AF), the irregular heartbeat that can lead to stroke, heart failure and other serious problems.Using food-frequency questionnaires to determine chocolate consumption, scientists collected diet and health data from 55,502 men and women ages 50 to 64 in Denmark. About 3,346 cases of atrial fibrillation occurred in this follow-up study lasting over 13 years.Participants who ate one to three 1-ounce (28.35 grams) servings a month had a 10 percent lower rate of AF than those who hardly did. Those who ate one serving a week had a 17 percent lower rate; and those who ate two to six servings a week had a 20 percent lower rate, researchers found.Interestingly, the study also shows that "participants with higher levels of chocolate intake were more likely to report a higher level of educational attainment."However, the team noted that the study was "observational" and cannot prove that chocolate prevents AF.Many studies have suggested other potential benefits from chocolate. A 2011 Swedish study, for example, found that womenwho ate more than 45 grams of chocolate a week had a 20 percent lower risk of stroke than women who treated themselves to fewer than 9 grams of the sweet stuff.Other claims include that chocolate can lower blood pressure, lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and lower risk of heart disease. It's also a mood booster. One of the reasons dark chocolate has been deemed especially heart-healthy is its inflammation-fighting properties, which reduce cardiovascular risk.A ... all Italian study from 2005 found that regularly eating chocolate increases insulin sensitivity, thereby reducing risk for diabetes, but many experts see caveats here. Even the bittersweet varieties of chocolate can be high in calories, fat and sugar-not assets if you have diabetes or many other health issues.。

2010英语四级听力:巧克力有益健康
For most, chocolate is a guilty pleasure, may better, because it's so bad for you. Now, though, an extensive study has discovered that eating chocolate can be very good for your health. They can substantially reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke and help slower blood pressure. And before you check the day, this isn't a windup. The study was carried out by German nutritionists and kept track of chocolate eaters for at least 10 years. Even the British Heart Foundation agrees with the findings
Darren Little, Sky News, Leamington Spa.

The study monitored more than 19,000 people and found that eating just 7.5 grams of dark chocolate a day reduced the risk of heart attacks and strokes by 39%. Even better, those who ate the most chocolate had the greatest benefit. As always though, there is a catch. High-end chocolates like these are the most beneficial.
-When things are added to chocolate, that's when it starts to become fatter and higher in calorie. The more naturally is, the better is for you. So the darker and the richer, and the better the quality of the chocolate, the better is for you.
So this is:Don't feel guilty, it's good for you.
-Shall I give you one to try?
Some of these even have to watch over five a day as they contain real fruit. Of course the problem is will it taste as good. Now it's no longer bad. Of course, it will.

-Dark chocolate has had a lot of publicity in the past about it being beneficial. And we think that's due to the flavonols which are actually in the cocoa, and there is some suggestion that such actually the chemical actually has got the heart-protective effects.
