Obviously television hasboth advantages and disadvantages. But do the former outweigh the latter? In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. They just sit comfortably at home and enjoy endless series of programs rather than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere. Some people, however, maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies. The television viewer needs to do nothing. [26]He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort on his part. Secondly, television keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical fascination for us. [26]We get so used to looking at its movements, so dependent on its pictures that it begins to dominate our lives. There are many other arguments for and against television. [26]The poor quality of its program is often criticized. But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. And does it corrupt or instruct our children? [27]I think we must realize that television initself is neither good nor bad. [28]It is the uses to whichit is put that determine its value to society.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.英语四级听力参考答案：26. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the disadvantages of TV?准确答案：A解析：本文分析电视的利弊，它带来益处的同时也有潜在的弊端。

Because she doesn't want to dine far from the office.C. Because she doesn't care what people think of her.D. Because they would believe she is doing business.英语四级听力材料In the world of business, it is not always easy for women to do the same things as men. Consider the working dinner.In order to do your job well, it's important to sometimes see clients and business contacts away from the office. [26]In a more relaxed atmosphere, you can get to know your business partner better. In the end, after all, people do business with people they like.Women start out at a disadvantage because it's tough to invite men out for a game of golf or tennis. Men usually prefer to play sports with other men.You might think that restaurants are the perfect playing field. But they can be dangerous ground. [27]If people from the office see two men they know having dinner together, they think it's business. If colleagues see a woman dining with a man, they often wonder if it's another kind of business.One answer is to take another colleague or client to dinner. Of course, this isn't always convenient. So when I can't do this, I take guys out to dinner one-to-one-to places where I'm most likely to see colleagues. [28]The more your colleagues see you having working dinners with different men, the more they know it is part of your business style.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. According to the passage, why do people like to see clients away from the office?准确答案：A解析：选项以To开头表目的。

大学英语四级（听力篇章）专项练习试卷13(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.听力原文：The secret of a long and happy marriage appears to be not to expect too much from it. Far better, US researchers say, to aim low to ensure you are not disappointed. The key to keeping that newlywed glow appears to be forgiveness and communication. The study by researchers from Ohio and Florida Universities looked at 82 couples. They quizzed all the spouses independently over four years. Writing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers led by James McNulty, professor of psychology at Ohio University, said: “In contrast to the idea that expectations in the early years of marriage exert main effects on satisfaction, the current findings suggest that the effects of expectations interact with the skills partners bring to their relationships.” The study also found that people tend to select like-minded partners who they believe will be able to maintain a stable relationship. The finding contradicts the old belief that opposites attract. Instead, the US researchers said people looking for long-term relationships should select partners who were similar to themselves, rather than seeking out the highest quality partner available.16. What is the key to a happy marriage according to the study?17. How many people are investigated in the study?18. Which is the belief of the researchers?1．A．High expectations.B．Opposite characters.C．Showing satisfaction.D．Forgiving and communicating.正确答案：D解析：短文开头处说：“使新婚夫妇容光焕发的要诀似乎是宽容与沟通。

[29]He was extremely anxious about its possible effect on his career as a musician, and embarrassed by its effect on his social life. In the summer of 1801 he wrote to two friends expressing the anxiety that his best years would pass "without my being able to achieve all that my talent and my strength have commanded me to do". Although tempted to kill himself, "the only thing that held me back was my art. For indeed it seemed to me impossible to leavethis world before I had produced all the works that I felt the urge to compose". It could be argued that Beethoven's deafness helped the development of his art: isolated from the world, and unable to perform, he could devote all his time to composing.[30]In 1804 his friend Stephan von Breuning, with whom he briefly shared lodgings, wrote to Franz Wegler about the terrible effect his gradual loss of hearing was having on Beethoven: it had caused him to distrust his friends, and he was becoming very difficult to be with. But above all else, Beethoven was dedicated to his art and the urge to compose remained with him throughout his life. [31]It may be that he shielded away from the commitment of marriage because he knew it would interfere with his art.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.英语四级参考答案29. Why did Beethoven try to conceal his going deaf?正确答案：D解析：短文开头就说贝多芬不愿透露自己耳聋的消息，并紧接着说明了原因：“他极为担心这个消息对他作为一位音乐家的事业可能带来的影响，他也不知道该如何处理该消息对他的社交生活产生的影响。

The company spent the last five years developing solar panels that are only about a quarter of an inch thick and are strong enough to stand up to heavy highway traffic without breaking or making the roads more slippery. The panels are also designed so that they can be installed directly on top of existing roadways, making them relatively cheap and easy to install.France isn’t the first country to kick around the idea of paving its roads with solar panels. In November 2015, the Netherlands completed a 229-foot-long bike path paved with solar panels as a test for future projects. However, this is the first time a panel has been designed to be laid directly on top of existing roads and the first project to install the panels on public highways.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q3： What was France's purpose of constructing the Wattway?A)Finding cheaper ways of highway construction.B)Generating electric power for passing vehicles.C)Providing clean energy to five million people.D)Testing the efficiency of the new solar panel.答案：C) Providing clean energy to five million people.Q4： What is special about the solar panels used in the Wattway?A)They can stand the wear and tear of natural elements.B)They can be laid right on top of existing highways.C)They can only about half an inch thick.D)They are made from cheap materials.答案：B) They can be laid right on top of existing highways.News 3：Lions have disappeared from much of Africa, but for the past few years scientists have wondered if the big cats were hanging on in remote parts of Sudan and Ethiopia. Continuous fighting in the region has made surveys difficult.But scientists released a report Monday documenting, with hard evidence, the discovery of "lost lions."A team with Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, supported by a charity organization, spent two nights in November camping in the National Park in northwest Ethiopia, on the Ethiopia-Sudan border. The researchers set out six camera traps capturing images of lions, and they identified lion tracks.The scientists concluded that lions are also likely to live in the neighbouring National Park across the border in Sudan. The International Union for Conservation of Nature had previously considered the area a "possible range" for the species, and local people had reported seeing lions in the area, but no one presented convincing evidence.Questions 5 and 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Q5： What has made it difficult to survey lions in remote parts in Sudan and Ethiopia?A)Endless fighting in the region.B)The hazards from the desert.C)Inadequate funding for research.D)The lack of clues about the species.答案：A) Endless fighting in the region.Q6： What was the main purpose of the research?A)To observe the wildlife in the two national parks.B)To identify the reasons for the lions’ disappearance.C)To study the habitat of lions in Sudan and Ethiopia.D)To find evidence of the existence of the “lost lions”.答案：D) To find evidence of the existence of the "lost lions".Q7： What did the researchers find in the National Park?A) Lions walking.

How did you know?M： David told me you had a special birthday coming up.W：Oh…yeah that's right. This year will be my golden birthday.M： What does that mean? I've never heard of a golden birthday.W： I've actually just learnt this concept myself. Fortunately, just in time to celebrate. A golden or lucky birthday is when one turns the age of their birth date. So,for example, my sister's birthday is December 9th and her golden birthday would have been the year she turned nineyears old. Come to think of it, my parents did throw her a surprise party that year.M： Interesting. Too bad I missed mine. My golden birthday would've been four years ago. I assume you got big plans then.W： Actually yes. My husband is planning a surprise holiday for the two of us next week. I have no idea what he's got in mind, but I'm excited to find out. Has he mentioned anything to you?M： He might have.W： Anything you'd like to share? I'm dying to know what kind of trip he has planned on where we're going.M： You know nothing at all?W：Not a clue. Hard to imagine, isn’t it? Though I must say I think he's been having even more fun keeping the secret from me in the past few weeks.M： I'm sure both of you will have a fantastic time. Happy golden birthday! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q8.

What does the man say at the end of the conversation?A) He will be glad to be a guide for the couple’s holiday trip.B) He will tell the woman the secret if her husband agrees.C) He is eager to learn how the couple’s holiday turns out.D) He wants to find out about the couple’s holiday plan.答案： C) He is eager to learn how the couple's holiday turns out.Passage 2W： Mr. Green, what do you think makes a successful negotiator?M：Well, that’s hard to define. But I think successful negotiators have several things in common. They are always polite and rational people. They are firm but flexible. They can recognize power and know how to use it. They aresensitive to the dynamics of the negotiation. The way ofrises and falls and how it may change direction. They project the image of confidence, and perhaps most importantly, they know when to stop.W： And, what about an unsuccessful negotiator?M： Well, this is probably all of us when we start out. We are probably immature and over-trusting. Too emotional or aggressive. We are unsure of ourselves and we want to beliked by everyone. Good negotiators learn fast. Poor negotiators remain like that and go on losing negotiations.W： In your opinion, can the skills of negotiation be taught?M： Well, you can teach someone how to prepare for a negotiation. There are perhaps six stages in every negotiation. Get to know the other side. State your goals. Start the process. Clarify areas of disagreement or conflict. Reassess your position. Making acceptable compromises. And finally, reach some agreement in principle. These stages canbe studied. And strategies to be used in each can be planned beforehand. But I think, the really successful negotiator is probably born with six sense about responding appropriatelyto the situation at hand.W：The artistic sense you’ve just described?M：Yes. That’s rig ht.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q12： What does the man say about good negotiators?A) They are sensitive to the dynamics of a negotiation.B) They see the importance of making compromises.C) They know when to adopt a tough attitude.D) They take the rival’s attitude into account.答案：A) They are sensitive to the dynamics of a negotiation.Q13： What does the man say may be the most important thing to a successful negotiator?A) They know how to adapt. C) They know when to make compromises.B) They know when to stop. D) They know how to control their emotion.答案：B) They know when to stop.Q14： How is a good negotiator different from a poor one?A) They are patient. C) They learn quickly.B) They are good at expression. D) They uphold their principles.答案： C) They learn quickly.Q15： What is the first stage of negotiation according to the man?A) Make clear one’s intentions. C) Formulate one’s strategy.B) Clarify items of negotiation. D) Get to know the other side.答案：D) Get to know the other side.Section CDirections： In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear three or four questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C), D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Some people wonder why countries spend millions of dollars on space projects. They want to know how space research helps people on Earth. Actually space technology helps people on Earth every day. This is called "spin-off technology."Spin-off technology is space technology that is now used on Earth.In early space programs, such as the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s, and in the Space Shuttle missions today, scientists developed objects for the astronauts to use on the moon and in space. We now use some of these objects every day.For example, we have Quartz crystal clocks and watches accurate to within one minute a year. We purify the water we drink with a water filter designed for the astronauts' use in space.The cordless, hand-held tools we use in our homes, such as vacuum cleaners, flashlights, drills and saws came fromthe technology of these early space programs.On cold winter days we can stay warm with battery-operated gloves and socks, and specially made coats and jackets. All of these clothes are similar to the spacesuit designs that kept astronauts comfortable in the temperatures of the moon, and are spin-offs from space technology.These products are only a few examples of the many ways space technology helps us in our everyday lives. No one knows how new spin-off technology from the International Space Station will help us in the future.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you havejust heard.Q16： What do some people want to know about space exploration?A) When America’s earliest space program started.B) When the International Space Station was built.C) How many space shuttle missions there will be.D) How space research benefits people on Earth.答案： D) How space research benefits people on Earth.Q17： What did scientists do for the space shuttle missions?A) They accurately calculated the speed of the orbiting shuttles.B) They developed objects for astronauts to use in outer space.C) They tried to meet astronauts’ specific requirements.D) They tried to make best use of the latest technology.答案：B) They developed objects for astronauts to use in outer space.Q18： What does the speaker say about Quartz crystal clocks and watches?A) They are extremely accurate. C) They were first made in space.B) They are expensive to make. D) They were invented in the 1970s.答案：A) They are extremely accurate.Passage 2Well, if I could go back in history and live, I'd like to go back to the 18th century and perhaps in colonial America in Yankee, New England, where one of my ancestors lived, because it was the beginning of something.By the 18th century, there was a feeling of community that had grown. My ancestor was a preacher, traveling around the countryside. People lived in small communities. There were fishermen and farmers who provided fresh food that tasted and looked like food, unlike that in today's supermarkets, and there were small towns, and New York wasn't that far away. I'm deeply attached to the Puritan tradition, not in a religious sense, but they believed in working for something, working for goals, and I like that.They worked hard at whatever they did, but they had a sense of achievement. They believed in goodness in community and helping one another. I love the colonial fabrics, all the silver work, the furnishings, the combination of elegance and simplicity. I love it. The printing, the books, I'm very attached to all that kind of thing that may not all be very entertaining in the modern sense of the world.

英语四级听力材料
[26]Snakes may be found just about everywhere except the North Pole region and some islands in the South Pacific Ocean. Some snakes live in warm, dry deserts. Others live in green
forests, fields and woodlands. Some never go far from water and are fine swimmers. Some live all their lives in the sea. Most snakes can swim. [27]Because snakes are cold-blooded and depend on warm air for comfort and existence, the largest number of snakes is found in the hottest parts of the earth. Even so, many snakes stay away from the direct rays of the
sun when possible. If extra hot weather comes along, snakes find a coolest place possible and stay there. In places where it freezes, snakes often hide themselves far under the ground or in caves and stay until spring. Snakes are smart enough to stay alive. They are smart enough to find food and kill their enemies. [28]But compared with other animals, they are
believed to be below average in intelligence.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have
just heard.
26. In which of the following places have snakes never been found?
参考答案
准确答案：D
解析：短文开头就提到，除了北极地区和南太平洋的一些岛屿外，到处都有蛇类。
故准确答案为D。
27. Why do we find the largest number of snakes in hot regions?
准确答案：B
解析：短文说：“因为蛇类是冷血动物，依赖于温暖的气候，所
以热带地区蛇类的数量最多”。
由此可知，答案为B。
28. How smart are snakes compared with other animals?
准确答案：D
解析：短文最后提到，“但与其他动物相比，蛇类的智力低于平均值”，故D准确。
less intelligent和below average in intelligence是同义表达。
