BEC商务英语(初级)听力练习试卷2(题后含答案及解析)
BEC商务英语（初级）听力练习试卷2(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. 5 million. In the early days, Brown rejected the idea of a competitive pricing policy to establish the company. He always thought that product quality was more important to the company’s success. He believes this approach has helped make the company a market leader. Five years ago the company bought new machinery. This has been a success and they now intend to spend large sums on a new computer system. This will improve the speed of customer service. David Brown believes the workforce plays a large part in the success of his firm. There is a good relationship between management and staff. Basic pay is average for the area and holidays are standard but the company pays bonuses to staff when large orders are finished on time. Local government wants to encourage training schemes in the workplace and META has successfully applied to them for funding. META hopes that the company’s training scheme will increase productivity but they accept that money invested in training doesn’t guarantee this. META doesn’t have a large management structure and it has promoted most of its managers from within the company. Brown does not believe management qualifications are important and looks instead for people with a positive attitude towards the company. Brown believes his company can maintain its market position. He has invested a lot of money in the production process and is confident about the skills of his workforce. Marketing, however, is one part of the business he recognizes could get better.1．正确答案：1971 涉及知识点：听力2．正确答案：PRODUCT QUALITY 涉及知识点：听力3．正确答案：COMPUTER SYSTEM 涉及知识点：听力4．正确答案：BONUSES 涉及知识点：听力5．正确答案：FUNDING/MONEY/GRANTS 涉及知识点：听力6．正确答案：ATTITUDE 涉及知识点：听力7．正确答案：MARKETING 涉及知识点：听力PART FOUR听力原文：Woman: Are you going to launch simply yet another hot-drinks machine?Man: Definitely not. Some of you may think we’re going to launch simply yet another hot-drinks machine. Can you tell me what hot-drinks machine you use daily is like?Woman：Well, you put a coin in a slot and out comes a cup of something which tastes terrible. It’s supposed to be tea or coffee—but it doesn’t taste anything like either of these two drinks. Man: Oh, that is too bad. You know—and I feel the same way—we did an experiment recently involving a wide range of hot-drinks machines. And we found that over two-thirds of the people using them couldn’t tell whether they were drinking tea or coffee. That’s how awful the taste of the drink was in each case!Woman: So how about the hot—drinks machine in the past? Were they multi-functional?Man: Such machines have been in use far too long. Even the Ancient Greeks had such machines. Woman: Even the Ancient Greeks!? What did their machines provide?Man: Their machines didn’t provide you with tea or coffee when you put a coin in. They gave you something much better—holy water. And it seems they were used for a long time without any of the breakdowns that are so common today. Now this was over 2，000 years ago. And I’m sure they had similar machines long ago in Ancient China．Woman: What is new of your product?Man: So what is new? Well, this morning we are introducing a modern, hi-tech hot-drinks machine. Woman: So what is the difference between the normal and the new?Man: With the normal machines, you put a coin in the slot, press the appropriate button and the machine puts powder—tea, coffee, chocolate, milk—into a cup. Then it pours hot water over the powder. Well, unlike these old vending machines, our new vending machine uses boiling water and serves fresh coffee—not instant coffee—and fresh tea made with high quality tea-leaves rather than tea bags. Woman: It sounds wonderful. Anytime, anywhere there is such a machine I can enjoy a cup of fresh coffee or tea．Man: And there’s another feature. People don’t need coins to operate the new machine. Instead, they can use a special kind of credit card. In the machine itself there is a small computer. This computer makes a record of each card that is inserted—and, of course, the number of times the card is used. This is far more convenient than having to use a coin. Woman: It seems to be practical too—since most of hot-drinks machines are used in the workplace—that is, in offices, factories and warehouses. And some are used in clubs and leisure centers. So it’s an easy matter for my company to charge users like me at the end of every month—or every week. Man:We’ve now produced a free book containing advice about using the machine. You may take and have a look at it. Woman: Your machine must be very expensive. Can every workplace afford to own one?Man: No. Our company proposes to make it very easy for companies to buy the machine. We shall charge even less than the cost of making the machine, and so it will be very cheap. But we shall be the only people who can regularly service the machine. The special parts required for services and repairs are manufactured by us. No one else will be supplied with these parts. We shall also charge a realistic price to re-stock the machine each time it runs out of tea and coffee. All this is where our profits will come from. Woman: Well, I understand. If I have interest, I will contact you later.8．Most people didn’t knowA．how to use hot-drinks machines.B．whether they were drinking tea or coffee.C．how awful the hot drinks were.正确答案：B 涉及知识点：听力9．The Ancient Greeks used machines to serveA．hot drinks.B．drinks like tea and coffeeC．holy water.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力10．These machines were used more thanA．200 years ago.B．2，000 years ago.C．20，000 years ago.正确答案：B 涉及知识点：听力11．After first putting powder into a cup，ordinary hot-drinks machines，then addA．tea or coffee.B．milk.C．hot water.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力12．The new machine servesA．instant coffee and tea．B．fresh coffee and tea．C．coffee powder and tea bags.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力13．Every new machine containsA．a credit card.B．a special coin.C．a small computer.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力14．Most of these machines are used in A．offices，factories and warehouses.

powerup2听力文本Power up II: The Case for Optimism.In the face of a global pandemic and a rapidly changing world, it can be difficult to remain optimistic. Yet, a growing body of research suggests that optimism is not merely a personality trait, but rather a skill that can be cultivated and has a profound positive impact on our lives.One of the key benefits of optimism is its ability to reduce stress and improve overall health. Studies have shown that optimists tend to have lower levels of stress hormones, such as cortisol, and experience less inflammation, which is linked to a range of chronic diseases. Additionally, optimists are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors, such as exercise and proper nutrition, which further contributes to their overall well-being.Optimism also plays a significant role in our mental health. Optimists are less likely to experience depressionand anxiety, and they tend to have higher levels of resilience and self-esteem. This is because optimists are more likely to view challenges as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than insurmountable obstacles.Furthermore, optimism has been found to enhance our physical health. For example, one study found thatoptimists who underwent surgery recovered more quickly and experienced less pain than their pessimistic counterparts. Another study linked optimism to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.The benefits of optimism extend beyond our physical and mental well-being. Optimists are more likely to be successful in their careers and relationships. They are more likely to set challenging goals, persist in the face of setbacks, and see failure as a learning opportunity rather than a definitive end. In turn, this leads to greater life satisfaction and a sense of purpose.While some people may believe that optimism is simply a matter of genetic predisposition, research suggests that itcan be learned and developed through various practices. One effective way to cultivate optimism is to focus on the positive aspects of our lives, no matter how small. Thiscan include practicing gratitude, expressing appreciationfor others, and seeking out positive experiences. Additionally, it is helpful to surround ourselves with positive and supportive people who encourage us to see the bright side of things.It is important to note that optimism does not mean ignoring negative events or pretending that everything is always going to be perfect. Rather, it involves acknowledging the challenges we face while maintaining a belief that things will ultimately turn out for the better. This balanced approach allows us to cope with adversitywhile still maintaining a positive outlook on life.中文回答：面对全球疫情和快速变化的世界，保持乐观可能很困难。

2019-2020学年第二学期听力练习-听力原文
Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.In a world as fast-changing and full of information as our own, every one of us needs to know how to learn well. Yet evidence suggests that most of us don’t use the learning techniques that science has proved most effective. Worse, research finds that learning strategies we do commonly employ, like rereading and highlighting (突出标示), are among the least effective.Although highlighting and underlining are common practices, studies show they offer no benefit beyond simply reading the text. Some research even indicates that highlighting can get in the way of learning; because it draws attention to individual facts, it may interfere with the process of making connections and drawing inferences (推断). Nearly as bad is the practice of rereading, a common exercise that is much less effective than some of the better techniques you can use. Lastly, summarizing, or writing down the main points contained in a text, can be useful for those who are skilled at it, but it is also rated as being of low utility as there are far better ways to spend your study time.In contrast to familiar practices like highlighting and rereading, the learning techniques with the most evidence to support them aren’t well known outside the laboratory. Take distributed practice, for example. This technique involves spreading out your study time, rather than engaging in one marathon (马拉松). Rote (死记硬背) at the last minute may allow you to get through that test or meeting, but the material will quickly disappear from memory. It’s much more effective to dip into the material at intervals over time.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.People have always been interested in the lives of the wealthy and famous, but in recent years that interest has developed into widespread obsession (沉迷). Is this a good thing? It’s definitely not a good thing when the celebrity concerned is doing nothing but set a bad example.Celebrities and those in the public eye have a responsibility which few appear to acknowledge. Their behavior, the way they dress, the way they conduct themselves when out on the town, the cars they drive and the places they go on holiday are all seen by fans and followers as goals worth pursuing. It’s therefore not surprising that so many young people routinely use illegal substances, drink too much, are preoccupied with their appearances and care so little for the environment.I’m reminded that celebrities are people too. They are subject to the temptations, the anxieties and mental strain that everyone has to bear. But I think that it is high time that celebrities woke up to their responsibilities. If they want to be applauded for their work they must assume responsibility for the role model that they provide.Many celebrities are guilty of setting bad examples at one time or another. When will these people become aware of the fact that whatever they do will be copied by countless hundreds, thousands, even millions of people?While most people are sensible enough not to be overly influenced by such stories there are plenty who will hear these tales and see them as a green light. They’ll believe that it is perfectly OK to drive an environment killing car at breakneck speed on public roads because some thoughtless, selfish celebrity has bragged (吹嘘) about doing it.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Every child has a social identity, which is how we perceive our various roles in society in relation to others. Whether it is through social position, culture, interests, achievements, or beliefs, children derive from their social identities a sense of pride, self-worth, and consistency. So, when it is rapidly changed, threatened, or questioned, it is no wonder that a child may become vulnerable (易受伤害的) to depression.Not all children who undergo changes of their social identities will experience depression. Instead, it is thought that those who identify with a limited number of social roles are more at risk of developing depression when a role is lost. This is not to say that a child cannot develop a new social identity, but it simply highlights the importance of how a child views himself in relation to the world around him.In order to have a social identity, we need people around us to confirm or deny. The people around us also influence our social identities and the way we feel about ourselves. If a child is very shy and withdrawn, it is likely that other children will pick up on her social cues and leave her alone, thus confirming him social identity as shy and withdrawn. In turn, she may lack satisfaction in her social role, feel lonely, or become frustrated trying to break free from that identity.As a parent, you can support your child’s social roles by acknowledging what and who is important to her. Try not to put too much emphasis on any one single social role. Instead, encourage him to try new and different things, and remind him of the other important roles that she plays in life.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Along with the e-age, every field makes use of the e-technology for their own purposes. Hundreds of universities across the country are turning to email’s overactive younger brother –text messaging –to bridge the digital divide between administration and students. 90 percent of students carry cell phones and 70 percent use Short Message Service (SMS) technology, more commonly known as text messaging, on a regular basis, according to online statistics. Most university chief information officers agree that it makes sense to send urgent alerts to devices that students have with them all the time. And in addition to having a far reach with college kids, text messages are delivered fast; unlike email, thousands of messages can be transmitted within a few minutes.But this hailed technology is not without problems. Getting students enrolled in a voluntary (自愿的) program is never easy. Students say that they’re reluctant to share their cell phone number with their institution for fear of receiving junk mail. Also, without unlimited message plans, messages can cost a cell phone owner 10-15 cents each, which hinders the program. Besides, students might also withdraw from the program or, if they get a new number, may not update their number in the school’s system.Meanwhile, technology has its share of problems – like the fact that messages are limited to 160 characters. A shorthand alert, brief instructions, and perhaps an indication to check the school’s website for more details is all that a text message can afford. Despite limitations, three text message alert companies formed in 2005 and are leading today’s higher education SMS market.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.People are shocked to learn that another economic crisis hit the world. When the financial markets fall, companies of all sizes announce plans to reduce their workforce, and job-seekers tend to get a bit worried about the job search they may face. It almost goes without saying that job-hunting in a boom economy is much easier than job-hunting in a slumping (暴跌) economy.What’s the most important aspect of job-hunting? Not resume building nor interviewing skills ... but networking. Networking is the perfect way to meet the professionals in your field who can offer you new perspectives on your industry and assist you in seeking new job opportunities. If you use your network properly, you will hear of multiple job opportunities, often before they are even listed.Some job-seekers shy away from networking because they think networking is equal to taking advantage of people, but if done correctly, networking can be a rewarding experience for all parties involved. Networking is not asking everyone you know for a job. Networking means developing a broad list of contacts and using them to your advantage when you look for a job. People in your network could be your family, friends, and people you’ve met through social and business situations. They may be able to give you job leads, offer you advice and information about a particular company or industry, and introduce you to others so that you can expand your network. When you have a network of professional contacts with whom you interact on a regular basis, your employment opportunities will grow greatly.Directions：In this section, you'll hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.Domestic (家庭) violence and abuse can happen to anyone, yet the problem is often neglected, excused, or denied. This is especially true when the abuse is emotional, rather than physical. Noticing and acknowledging the signs of an abusive (虐待的) relationship is the first step to ending it.Domestic abuse occurs when one person in an intimate relationship or marriage tries to gain total control over the other person. Domestic violence and abuse does not discriminate. It occurs within all age ranges, ethnic (民族的) backgrounds, and economic levels. And while women are more common victims, men are also abused—especially verbally and emotionally, although sometimes even physically as well.When people talk about domestic violence, they are often referring to physical abuse, which is the use of physical force against someone in a way that injures that person. Physical abuse is a crime, and the police have the power and authority to protect you from physical attack. But not all abusive relationships involve violence. Many men and women suffer from emotional abuse, which is no less destructive, but often neglected—even by the person being abused.Emotional abuse includes verbal abuse such as yelling, name-calling, blaming, and shaming. Isolation, intimidation, and controlling behavior also fall under emotional abuse. Additionally, abusers who use emotional or psychological abuse often throw in threats of physical violence if you don’t do what they want.You may think that physical abuse is far worse than emotional abuse, since physical violence can send you to the hospital and leave you with scars. But emotional abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse—sometimes even more so because the scars of emotional abuse are real and run deep.。

For one thing，it’s so monly used，the only language that is used by more people is Chinese.W：Why is English spoken by so many people?M：It’s spoken in many countries of the world because of the British empire. And now of course is the influence of America as well.W：Many students find English a difficult language to learn.M：Oh，all languages are difficult to learn. But English does have two greatest advantages.W：What are they?M：Well，first of all，it has a very international vocabulary. It has many German，Dutch，French，Spanish and Italian words in it. So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English. In fact，English has words for many other languages as well.W：Why is that?M：Well，partly because English speakers have travelled a lot，they bring back words with them. So English really does have aninternational vocabulary.W：And what is the other advantage of English?M：It that English grammar is really quite easy. For example，it doesn’t have dozens of different endings for its nouns，adjectives and verbs，not like Latin，Russian and German for example.W：Why is that?M：Well，it’s quite interesting actually，it’s because of the French. When the French ruled England，French was the official language，and only the mon people spoke English. They tried to make their language as simple as possible. So they made the grammar easier.Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.Q9：What does the man say about Chinese?Q10：What made English a widely used language?Q11：What is said to be special about English vocabulary?Conversation 2Man：Hello.

In fact，they have been in use for centuries. 25 centuries ago，kites were well-known in China. These first kites were probably made of wood. They may even have been covered with silk，because silk were used a lot at that time. Early kites were built for certain uses. In ancient China，they will use to carry ropes to cross rivers. Once across，the ropes were tear down and wooden bridges would hang for them. Legend tells of one General who flew musical kites over the enemies’ camp. The enemy fled，believing the sounds to be the warming voices of angels. By the 15th century，many people flew kites in Europe. Marco Polo may have brought the kite back from his visit to China. The kite has been linked to great names and events.For instance，Benjamin Franklin used kite to prove the lightening electricity. He flew the kite in the storm. He did this in order to draw lightening from the clouds. He tied a metal key and a strip of silk to the kite line. The silk ribbon would stop the lightening from passing through his body. Benjamin’s idea was first laughed at. But later on，it enlightened the invention of the lightening rod.

And now of course is the influence of America as well.W：Many students find English a difficult language to learn.M：Oh，all languages are difficult to learn.

So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English. In fact，English has words for many other languages as well.W：Why is that?M：Well，partly because English speakers have travelled a lot，they bring back words with them.

He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he had shown great musical talent. His father then decided to let him start taking harpsichord lessons. The boy‟s reputation as a musical talent grew fast. At five, he was composing music. Form that time on, Mozart was performing n concerts and writing music. By his early teens, he had mastered the piano, violin and harpsichord, and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770, when he was only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for Vienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. His first opera was a success. But life was not easy because he was a poor businessman, and his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose. He died in 1791 at the age of thirty-five. Although he lived only a short life, he composed over 600 works.1. Which of the following is true of Mozart? D2. How long has Mozart‟s fame lasted? A3.

Let‟s TalkThe Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to You”The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You” Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the same school, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mildred combined her musical talents with her sister‟s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, …Good Morning to All”was sure to be a success. The sister published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten”in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University‟s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters‟permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”.Mr. Coleman‟s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You”had altogether replaced the sisters‟original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.1.teacher at a kindergarten2.Good Morning to All3.Good Morning to All4.Happy Birthday to You Good Morning to AllPossible Retelling for the Teacher‟s ReferenceThe story of “Happy Birthday to You” was a nice, sweet on eat the very beginning, but later turned into a bitter one. There were two sisters: one was Mildred Hill, and the other Patty Hill. The former had great musical talents, while the latter had knowledge of kindergarten education. Bu combining their abilities, the two produced a song called “Good Morning to All”. It was a success, and later published in a collection of songs for kindergartens.Thirty-one years later a man named Coleman published the song without the sisters‟ permission. To make things worse, he added a second part, which is the present “Happy Birthday to You”. This new song soon became popular and eventually it replaced the sisters‟ first part altogether. Then, in 1916, Patty took legal action against Coleman. In court she managed to prove that she and hersister really owned the song.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: KaraokeDalin: It‟s Mike‟s birthday on Friday, so a bunch of us are going to go to the karaoke bar. Would you like to come with us?Laura: Karaoke bar? You have a special place just for singing? In America, bars sometimes havea karaoke night where the customers can sing a song, but we haven‟t special karaoke bars! Dalin: Really? In China, karaoke is a very popular way for friends ro spend time together. We can select the music that ur group enjoys. We mostly sing pop songs.Laura: Do you sing individually or in groups? Singing is not a very in thing, so I don‟t sing very well.1. F2. F3.T4.T5.FTask 2: When was music first sent down a telephone line?So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing? Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. And he wasn‟t even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental “Electric Harp”for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technology similar to Gray‟s. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.5-4-2-1-3Task 3: Thank You for the MusicI‟m nothing special, in fact I‟m a bit of a boreIf I tell a joke, you‟re probably heard it beforeBut I have a talent, a wonderful thing…Cause everyone listens when I start to singI‟m so grateful and proudAll I want is to sing it out loudSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singingThanks for all the joy they‟re bringingWho can live without it, I ask in all honestlyWhat would life beWithout a song or a dance what are weSo I say thank you for the musicFor giving it to meMother says I was a dancer before I could walkShe says I began to sing long before I could talkAnd I‟ve often wondered, how did it all startWho found out that nothing can capture a heartLike a melody canWell, whoever it was, I‟m a fanSo I sayThank you for the music, the songs I‟m singing…SpeakingMusical MemoriesTony: Listen! Quick, turn up the radio! Isn‟t that “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”Nancy: Yeah, it is, but what‟s the big deal?Tony: When I was a little boy, my grandmother took me to see the movie The Lion King. That‟s the Elton John song from the movie.Nancy: I still can‟t understand why it‟s so important to you.Tony: Because it was the first movie I ever saw with my grandma and because I really loved spending time with her. It is my favorite song of all times!Nancy: The first time Tom and I went on a date, we went to see Titanic. I always think of the song “My Heart Will Go On” as our song! Whenever I hear it, I think of that night.Tony: Oh, I can understand why you love that song! Isn‟t it interesting all the memories we connect with songs?UNIT2II. Listening Skills1.

I‟m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added another book to the series?Amy: She‟s already written Book Seven? I‟m still waiting for Book Five…Peter: I know. Who isn‟t? At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime.Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet?Peter: Yeah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary.Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood…It scares me to death just to think about it!Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though the girl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: …Ah, the sweet smell of my love.‟” The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.” The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!”he cried. “You‟ve ruined my play! You‟ve ruined me!”The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?”“No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!”1.D2.C3.D4.A5.BTask 3: Movie ReviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It‟s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It‟s great!Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.“The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It‟s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it‟s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers.

Let‟s TalkAlfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock‟s passport, which was marked simply PRODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?”“Gooseflesh.”replied Hitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he‟d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.1. A2.C3.DVI. Furthering Listening and Speaking ListeningTask 1: Only One LinePeter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he‟s only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, “Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THA T?”1.memorizing lines2.remember one line3.I hear the guns roar4. a loud boom5.his lineTask 2: An Interview with J.K. RowlingQ: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn‟t know he was a wizard. Q: Did you always plan to write Harry‟s story in more than one book? If so, how many?A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry‟s life at the school.Q: Any clues about the next book?A: I don‟t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry‟s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn‟t WANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books. Nobody else has a right to know them; let alone like them!1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: The Secret of the Next Harry Potter BookThe Harry Potter books rapidly became one of the most in-demand book series among young readers and have earned large sums of money. Movies based on the books won several Oscar nominations. Readers are now keen to know the plot of the next book.Harry Potter movie fans will get a long-awaited treat. The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret is finally about to come out. This time around, Harry discovers a frightening secret at Hogwarts School. Eager readers of the first four Harry Potter books are also trying to discover a secret, the secret plot of the fifth book in the series. Because of the long wait since Book Four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!J.K. Rowling herself has only said that Book Five will be shorter and scarier than Book Four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors, she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden place. Since the next book does not come out until 2003, for mow Harry‟s secret is safe with her!1. D2.C3.A4.BSpeakingViews on MoviesInterviewer: Hello, Robert and Richard, I‟d like to ask you something about movies. Do you prefer going to the theater or watching movies on video at home?Robert: I prefer, personally, going to the theater, because I believe there are certain movies that come over better when you see them in a large theater. The sound effect is muchbetter.Interviewer: What about you, Richard?Richard: Just the opposite. It‟s more comfortable to sit at home.Interviewer: There‟re many different movie genres, for example, science fiction, action, comedy, romance. What‟s your personal favorite?Robert: My favorite would be action movies.Richard: And mine would be nice movies that touch me deeply.Interviewer: How do you like the old black and white movies of the forties, and fifties compared with the modern blockbusters?Robert: For their time, the movies of the forties and fifties were excellent. But try to compare them with today‟s technology, and you‟ll find there isn‟t anything to compare. It‟s sosuperior today.Richard: I agree.UNIT3II.

When you get to the part where I‟m expected to promise to …love, respect and obey her,‟…giving up all others,‟ and …be true to her forever,‟ I‟d be happy if you‟d just leave that part out.” He gave the minister the cash and walked away with a light heart. The wedding day arrived, and the bride and groom reached that part of the ceremony where they would make vows to each other. When it was time for the groom‟s vows, the minister looked the young man in the eye and said, “Will you promise to kneel before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and make a vow before God and your lovely wife that you will never even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?”The groom was shocked, but in spite of himself, he said in a low voice, “Yes, I will.” Then the groom whispered to the minister, “I thought we had a deal.” The minister put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, “She made me a much better offer.”1.F2.F3.T4.T5.FTask 3: Long Distance FriendshipsAmerican weddings are not always the same. I‟d like to show you pictures of my wedding. When we got engaged, an announcement was published in the newspaper. The announcement typically includes the names of the bride, the bridegroom and their parents and the wedding is expected to be held. About a month before the wedding, we sent out wedding invitations to relatives and friends. This is the church where we had the wedding. My father gave me to my future husband. Then the minister started the wedding ceremony. He greeted the guests, and talked about the meaning of marriage. Next, we exchanged vows and gave each other rings. This is the main part of the wedding. After the vows, the minister prayed for us. Then the minister declared us husband and wife, and we kissed each other. Here is my sister, who was a bridesmaid. This is the bouquet I carried. Traditionally, the unmarried women gather after the wedding, and the bride throws her bouquet to them. The one who catches it will, according to tradition, be the next one to get married. At the reception, we cut the wedding cake and fed each other bites of the cake. Then we toasted each other with champagne. Finally the reception was over, and the minister signed the marriage certificate and we were legally married.1. A2.B3.C4.D1-3-7-5-4-2-6IV.

There are positions, such as cabinet secretaries, that must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. In all, there are about 4,_0 jobs in the e_ecutive branch of the U.S. federal government.They include everything from top-level advisers and cabinet members to ambassadors, agency directors, and people who answer the telephones. Dorrance Smith knows about working at the White House. The former senior White House advisor has worked there two times, for Republican Presidents Gerald Ford and George Bush. Later, he was a senior advisor at the Defense Department for President George W. Bush, the son of President George Bush.Smith says filling all those jobs is not as easy as saying, “I want this person in this job.” The Federal Bureau of Investigation and government lawyers first must investigate them.“They will go through your b ackground for the past _ years to determine whether or not you are fit to serve… And you also are going to have to reveal publicly as a public servant your assets and many people wouldprefer not to have that be p ublic information.”If the person has financial investments in a related area, they may have to sell them before taking the job. Smith did when he took a media-related job in the administration.“There are sacrifices and there are deci sions that people of means are going to have to make in order to serve and they’ll have to make the determination if it’s if it’s worth it.”Donald Trump: UntraditionalTraditionally, the incoming White House team hires people from their party who have worked at the top levels of government. However, Donald Trump is different. He ran a campaign that was not traditional.Smith says there are Republicans who do not want to work in Trump’s administration.Before the election, Trump did not have as many people working on a transition plan as democrat Hillary Clinton. Sources say she had more people chosen for government jobs. Shortly after his election, Trump also replaced Chris Christie as the head of his transition team. He named vice-president-elect Mike Pence as the leader of the team.The president-elect has said he wants to “drain the swamp.” A swamp is a wet muddy area. By using that phrase, he may mean he wants to get rid of government workers he thinks are not doing a good job. But Smith says that not using people who already have strong government e_perience makes Trump’s job harder.“Part of what he ran on was draining the swamp and part of being the fact that he’s elected was the first step and pulling the plug on the swamp. But now he’s got to fill the pond. And it’s an overwhelmingly daunting task.”White House ChangesPresidential elections mean big changes for many workers in thee_ecutive branch of the U.S. government.In _92, George Bush was not re-elected. So, Dorrance Smith had to decide what to do when he left the White House in January.The same year, Democratic Congressional official John Angell was moving to the White House. His boss, Leon Panetta, had been named head of the White House budget office.Angell e_plains, after the president’s inauguration speech and parade are over, he walks into the Oval Office of the White House. Then he is in charge of one of the world’s largest organizations.“You don’t know what’s going to happen that afternoon. The ne_t morning there could be a financial crisis. There could be a foreign policy crisis. So, you really have to be up and running is the phrase. On January _st.”For Angell, getting ready for that day meant many meetings in Washington to prepare a new budget for the Clinton presidency. It also meant flying down to Arkansas in a private jet to meet with then President-Elect Bill Clinton.It is a “very stressful process” he say s. As a government official with many years of e_perience, both in Congress and the White House, Angell says he thinks Trump is facing a very difficult transition. That is because of his lack to government e_perience.Angell says preparing a budget at the beginning of the Clinton presidency was a very difficult e_perience.“And we were working _ hours a day, and throwing together two or three meetings a day for the president and the team. And it had to be done very quickly and in the end the worst thing was you didn’t want to fail. Because you’d be failing at a level you’ve never failed at before.”As a former top Congressional official , Angell says Trump faces hard choices about cutting government and cutting programs that are popularwith Americans. Trump will be working with a Republican Congress. Some members will have their own ideas of what to cut, and what to keep. Dorrance Smith gives a funny e_ample of how these things can work. After losing the _92 election, President Bush’s administration wanted to cut the yearly “pardoning” of a live turkey at Thanksgiving time in November. In the ceremony, the president appears with a real turkey at the White House and says the turkey will be pardoned—not killed for a meal.But when they took the event off the president’s schedule, they were in for a surprise. Smith says The White House was “swamped” by t urkey industry supporters demanding that the pardon ceremony continue.“I guess there are a lot of turkeys in a lot of congressional districts with a very stronglobby because we had to put it back on. And the lame duck president had to go pardon the turkey one more time.”What will happen ne_t in the current presidential transition is hard to predict. Smith says Trump’s campaign and election “blew up all of the models.”The Trump transition team will work on filling those 4,_0 jobs. Their new administration will need to be ready for whatever happens on January _, the first full day of the Trump presidency.I’m Anne Ball._______________________________________________________Words in This Storytransition – n. a change from one group or state or condition to anotherassets – n. investments or other items worth moneyswamp – n. a wet and muddy place outsidepond – n. a body of waterdaunting – adj. difficulttask – n. a job for someone to doinauguration – n. the ceremony when the new president is sworn into officepardon – v. to be forgiven, so one will not face punishmentlobby –v. to try to influence government officials to make decisions for or against something_年6月大学英语四级听力练习（2）.。

Most people like to keep a healthy diet during the holiday season starting from Thanksgiving to Christmas and new year. There are many social events to celebrate and we love to look our best. We also need healthy food to provide us with the energy necessary to go to all of these parties with enthusiasm.
But the unfortunate reality is that many of us have a hard time sticking to healthy eating habits during the holidays. We face more challenges at this time than we do during the rest of the year. Starting from Thanksgiving, many of us are already anticipating gaining some weight. The holiday season is when we bring out abundant and delicious food. Turkey, ham, cakes and other great foods attract us to eat larger portions than we need. Many of us are more likely than usual to stuff ourselves, and not always with the healthiest food. Moreover, the holiday season is a busy, and often stressful, time of year. We are rushing too much, spending too much, and letting stress take hold of us too often. This can lead to emotional eating, that is, eating too much or too little.
Luckily, there are some effective ways to fight holiday eating problems. Learn about the causes of and solutions for emotional eating. Eat some healthy food before you go to a party so that you
won't eat too much there. Exercise after the party is over. All these strategies can help you curb holiday eating without reducing your holiday joy.。
