Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster. To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays fire fighters’ equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages hislisteners to play with and put on. “If you see us,” V elez tells them, “don’t hide! We are not monsters. We have come to rescue you.” Vele z gives his presentations in English and Spanish. Growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents. Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save th rough their talks. But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris. 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.26 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters?27 What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez?28 What do we learn about Pete Gentry?29 What message is the speaker trying to convey?Passage TwoSome people want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early. I see people pursuing higher paying 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 it all goes according to plan, will you know how to be happy when you are not working if you spend your entire life making money? More importantly, who will be around for you to share your leisure time with? At the other extreme are people who live only for today. Why bother saving when I might not be here tomorrow, they argue. The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all. And most people don't want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living. The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older. You maybe surprise 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 health allows, 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.30 Why do some people pursue higher paying but demanding careers?31 What is the danger facing people who live only for today?32 What does the speaker seem to advocate?Passage ThreeImagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. How fair will that be? Well, it happens everyday to high schoolers.Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves. Even though I’d never steal.Store employees looked at me like I’m some kind of hardened criminal. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Graben Gore Restaurant to have a hot dog. We arrived to find a line of students waiting o utside. A new sign in the window told the story. “No more than two students at a time”. After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger 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 employees watched my friends 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 manger. How crazy is that!33. What does the speaker find to be unfair?34. What measure did the Graben Gore Restaurant take to stop stealing?35. What happened in a drug store that greatly annoyed the speaker?Section CWriting 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 e-mailing friends and relatives all the time -- or 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 e-mailing their professors to receive and discuss their classroom assignments and to submit them. They are e-mailing classmates to discuss and collaborate on homework. They are also sharing information about concerts and sports events, as well as jokes and their philosophies of life.Despite the growing importance of computers, however, there will always be a place and need for the personal letter. A hand-written note to a friend or a family member is the best way to communicate important thoughts. No matter what the content of the message, its real point is, "I want you to know that I care about you." This writing practice brings rewards that can’t be seen in bank accounts, but only in the success of human relationships.2010年6月大学英语四级听力真题MP3下载(含文本)Section AShort Conversation11. W: Just imagine! We have to finish reading 300 pages before Monday! How can the professor expect us to do it in such a short time?M: Yeah, but what troubles me is that I can’t find the book in the library or in the university bookstore.Q: What does the man mean?12. M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I’d also be happy to pick up anything you need.W: Well, I don’t like to let anyone else drive my car. Tell you what,why don’t we go together? Q: What does the woman mean?13. M: Forgive the mess in here, we have a party last night. There were a lot of people and they all brought food.W: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I guess it’s pretty obvious what you’ll be doing most of today.Q: What does the woman think the man will do?14. W: What time would suit you for the first round talks with John Smith?M: Well, you know my schedule. Other than this Friday, one day is as good as the next.Q: What does the man mean?15. W: I was so angry yesterday! My biology teacher did not even let me explain why I missed the field trip. He just wouldn’t let me pass!M: That doesn’t seem fair. I’d feel that way too if I were you.Q: What does the man imply?16. M: I really can’t stand the way David controls the conversation all the time. If he is going to be at your Christmas party, I just won’t come.W: I’m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come.Q: What does the woman imply?17. W: You’re taking a course with Professor Johnson. What’s your impression so far?M: Well, many students could hardly stay awake in his class without first drinking a cup of coffee. Q: What does the man imply?18. W: Have you ever put a computer together before?M: No, never. But I think if we fol low these instructions exactly, we won’t have much trouble. Q: What are the speakers going to do?Long ConversationsConversation 1W: What sort of hours do you work, Steve?M: Well I have to work very long hours, about eleven hours a day.W: What time do you start?M: I work 9 to 3, then I start again at 5:30 and work until 11, six days a week. So I have to work very unsocial hours.W: And do you have to work at the weekend?M: Oh, yes, that’s our busiest time. I get Wednesdays off.W: What are the thi ngs you have to do and the things you don’t have to do?M: Uh, I don’t have to do the washing-up, so that’s good. I have to wear white, and I have to keep everything in the kitchen totally clean.W: What’s hard about the job?M: You are standing up all the time. When we are busy, people get angry and sharp, but that’s normal.W: How did you learn the profession?M: Well, I did a two-year course at college. In the first year we had to learn the basics, and then we had to take exams.W: Was it easy to find a job?M: I wrote to about six hotels and one of them gave me my first job, so I didn’t have to wait too long.W: And what’s the secret of being good at your job?M: Attention to detail. You have to love it. You have to show passion for it.W: And what are your plans for the future?M: I want to have my own place when the time is right.Q19. What does the man say about his job?Q 20. What does the man think is the hardest part of his job?Q 21. Where did the man get his first job after graduation?Q 22. What does the man say is important to being good at his job?Conversation 2W: Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don’t quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.M: Oh yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.W: Yes. why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?M: I am sorry I’ve no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. Tha t’s strange, isn’t it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.M: Yes, I don’t understand that at all.W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?M: I don’t know. I think I’ll p robably give them 2 pounds a week.W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?M: Yeah, they do.Q23 What is the table of figures about?Q24 What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money?Q25 Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money? Section BPassage 1As the new sales director for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers. 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 the market,” he began, “because of the quality of the people i n this room. The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district. 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 had hoped 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 political 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 im portant. 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 granted, chances are it will be granted.The worst way to complain is over the telephone. 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 more effective. 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 and 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. Her husband, 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, has missed 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 thatlanguage 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.2009年6月大学英语四级听力真题MP3下载(含文本)Short Conversations11. W: There were more than a hundred people at Kate's birthday party. How come she's got so many friends?M: It's really no surprise. You know she was popular even when she was a childQ: What does the man imply about Kate?12. M: They say there'll be a snow-storm tonight, and the cold weather will last quite a few days.W: Oh! We're so lucky, we'll be getting away for a while, and having a holiday in Florida. But let's call right now to confirm our flight.Q: What do we learn about the two speakers?13. W: Tony was awarded a medal for rescuing several families from the forest fire.M: I really admire his courage.Q: What do we learn about Tony from the conversation?14. M: My washing machine is more than fifteen years old and it has worked just fine until last night.W: You’ll never be able to get parts for it, even from Japan. So it might be time to invest a more recent model.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?15. W: I heard about your promotion, you must be thrilled.M: Not really, the new office is huge, but the word load has doubled.Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?16.

I’ll be happy to answer them.W: Nothing comes to mind right now, but I’d like to go over all the articles of the co ntract once more before signing it.Q: What are the speakers doing right now?18. M: We are out of paper for the printer. Can you please order some?W: I completed the order form online yesterday and it will be here by noon. I’ll let you know when it comes in.Q: What did the woman do?Long ConversationConversation OneW: Bob, do you know who I saw the other day? Old Jake, looking terribly depressed. Did he get pensioned off at last?M: Yes. They made him retire after 50 years at sea. He is pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He really is pasted.W: He is all alone, isn’t he?M: Yes, his wife has been dead for years. They had one daughter, Dories. But she went off to town as soon as she left school. And he hasn’t heard from her since. I hear she is making good money as a model.W: Maybe someone could get in touch with her. Get her to come back for a while to help?M: I don’t suppose she come. She never got on with her father. He is bit of a tough character and she is rather selfish. Oh, I expect old Jake will get by. He is healthy at least, comes into a clinic for a check regularly.W: Are you his doctor?M: No, my partner doctor Johnson is.W: That bad-tempered old thing?M: Oh, he isn’t bad-tempered. He just looks it. He is an excellent doctor, taught me a lot, and he has a very nice family. His wife invites me over there to supper every week. Very pleasant.W: yes.

It seems we ha ven’t seen the right quantity of manuals to support the telephone system.W: Oh, dear, that’s bad news. I’m very sorry to hear that, and you don’t know how many packs are without manuals?M: No, because we haven’t opened every pack. But in several of those that have been opened there are none, no manuals.W: I’m very sorry about this inconvenience, Mr. Summerfield. We’ll send out the manuals this afternoon by express mail entirely at our cost, and the manuals should arrive tomorrow or the day after at the latest.M: All of them, right?W: Yes. It maybe that some have them already, but we cannot be sure. So the best thing is to send out the manual for every pack.M: Yes. Yes, I see. That would be great.W: Please accept our apologies for this mix-up. I assure you we will do everything possible to find out why the mistake happenedM: Right. Thanks for your swift action.W: Not at all. Thank you and goodbye for now. Do call if there is anything else.M: All right. Thank you. Goodbye, Ms Green.W: Goodbye.Ques tions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.23. What problems are the speakers discussing?24. What does the woman promise to do?25. What does the man think of the solution?PassagePassage 1Attracting and feeding wild birds are entertaining activities that have long been enjoyed by people all over the world. Feeding birds has become so popular that prepared feed mixtures are readily available. We feed birds for many reasons. Many pleasant hours can come from watching birds. A hobby often develops into a serious study of their habits. Accurate identification of birds is usually the first goal. But observations that an amateur bird-watcher can make are really limitless. There is, however, responsibility associated with bird feeding, including a disease hazard. Attracting numbers of birds continually to the same spot can be harmful to them, particularly species that pick food from the ground contaminated by the droppings of other birds. In winter feeding efforts are most satisfying to people and are of greatest benefit to birds. During this time when fewer natural foods are available and air temperatures are lower, extra feeding can keep a bird warm and well. Once begun, feeding should never stop during these lean months. If you start a local increase of birds, be prepared to do what may be required to eliminate hazards to those you want to befriend. A constant supply of food should be given until the cold is over and spring has come. If feeding is stopped during severe weather, birds used to relying upon the feeders must starve.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.Q26 What does the speaker say about bird watching?Q27 What does the speaker say about birds fed continually on the same spot?Q28 What does the speaker suggest we do in feeding birds in winter?Passage 2My friend Leo makes up weak and poor excuses whenever there is something he doesn’t want to do. Just two weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn’t want to go into work. He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires put on his truck. Then he sat down and watched TV with me. Not only had he lied but his excuse wasn’t a very convincing one. Another time, he cancelled a date with his girlfriend at the last minute telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck. She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized. Last weekend, Leo offered the poorest excuse yet. He’d promised he’d help me move some furniture, from my parents’ house to my new apart ment. He was supposed to bring his truck over about 8 o’clock Saturday morning. I waited, and then called and left a message on his machine. About 11:30, he called and said he was sorry but he’d been getting a new set of tires put on his truck. I。

You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper. W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun.M: Yeah, tha t’s right, but it’s wonderful. You won’t stay up all night. And the Swedes makes most of it often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings. They’d like to work hard, but play hard, too.

After that, I did careers work in secondary schools like the careers guidance people. Here is in the university. Then I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative side. Then progressed on to universities. So there wasn’t any plan and there was no specific training. There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now. W: But in the first place, you did a French degree.M: In my time, there wasn’t a degree you could do for administration.I think most of the administrators I’ve come across have degrees and all sorts of things.W: Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didn’t really expect to end up doing what I am doing now.M: Quite.W: But you are local to Nottingham, actually?

I¡¯m looking for information on courses in computer programming. I would need it for the fall semester.W: Do you want a day or evening course?M: Well, it would have to be an evening course since I work during the day.W: Aha.

Trading in financial markets combines both.W: How do you relax in the evening?M: I very rarely do anything work related. So it¡¯s easy to escape the markets. I generally go to the gym or go for a run, especially If I¡¯ve had a bad day. I always cook a meal rather than have a takeaway. To do something my brain would regard as creative.W: Do you think what you do to relax is an effective way to beat stress? M: I don¡¯t think there¡¯s a specific rule about how to beat stress.I generally find that what I do is effective for me.W: Would you consider changing your job because of the high stress factor?M: I have considered leaving my job due to stress related factors. However, I do think that an element of stress is a good thing, and if used the right way, can actually be a positive thing.W: What do you enjoy about the stressful aspects of your job?M: Having said all that, I do actually enjoy an element of uncertainty.I enjoy a mental challenge. Trading generates a wide range of emotions second by second. How you deal with and manage those emotions dictates short, medium and long term trading performance and success.23. What is the man¡¯s job?24. Why does the man prefer to cook a meal rather than have a takeaway?25. What does the man say about an element of stress in his job? Section BPassage OneSince early times, people have been fascinated with the idea of life existing somewhere else besides earth. Until recently, scientists believed that life on other planet was just a hopeful dream. But now they are beginning to locate places where life could form. In 1997, they saw evidence of planets near other stars like the sun. But scientists now think that life could be even nearer in our own solar system. One place scientists are studying very closely is Europa, a moon of Jupiter. Space probes have provided evidence that Europa has a large ocean under its surface. The probes have also made the scientists think that under its surface Europa has a rocky core giving off volcanic heat. Water and heat from volcanic activity are two basic conditions needed for life to form. A third is certain basic chemicals such as carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. Scientists believe there might be such chemicals lying at the bottom of Europa¡¯s ocean. They may have already created life, or maybe about to. You may wonder if light is also need for life to form. Until recently, scientists thought that light was essential. But now, places have been found on earth that are in total in blackness, such as caves several miles beneath the ocean. And bacteria, primitive forms of life have been seen there. So the lack of light in Europa¡¯s subsurface ocean doesn¡¯t automatically rule out life forming.26. What did scientists once believe according to the passage?27. What have scientists found about Europa, a moon of Jupiter?28. What have scientists come to know recently about the formation of life?Passage TwoIn her early days as an emergency room physician, Dr. Joanna Meyer treated a child who had suffered a second degree burn. After the child had been treated, and was being prepared for discharge, Dr. Meyer talked to the parents about how they should care for the child at home, also listening to her were half a dozen family members. A few hours later, when she came to say goodbye, the family asked her to settle an argument they¡¯ve been having over exactly what advice she had given. ¡°As I talked to them, I was amazed.¡± she said, ¡°All of them had heard the simple instructions I had given just a few hours before. But they had three or four different versions. The most basic details were unclear and confusing. I was surprised, because these were intelligent people.¡± This episode gave Dr. Meyer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or later ¨C most people just don¡¯t listen verywell.Nowadays, she says, she repeats her instructions, and even conducts a reality check with some patients. She asks them to tell her what they think they¡¯re supposed to do. She also provides take-home sheets, which are computer printouts, tailored to the patients¡¯ situation.Dr. Meyer¡¯s listeners are not unusual. When new or difficult material is presented, almost all listeners are faced with a challenge, because human¡¯s speech lacks the stability and permanence of the printed word. Oral communication is fast-moving and impermanent.Question 29-31Q29. What did the child¡¯s family members argue about in the hospital? Q30. What does Dr. Meyer do to ensure her patients understand her instructions?Q31. What does the speaker say about human speech?Passage 3It is logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits, and job security motivate workers. But one expert, Frederick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers, they are merely satisfiers.Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility. However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there are always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs, and lots of unskilled people who have to do them. So how do managers motivate people in such jobs?One solution is to give them some responsibilities, not as individuals, but as a team. For example, some supermarkets combine office staff, the people who fill the shelves, and the people who work at the checkout into a team. And let them decide what product lines to stock, how to display them, and so on.Many people now talk about the importance of a company shared values or culture, with which all the staff can identify. For example, being the best hotel chain, or making the best, the most user friendly, or the most reliable products in a particular field. Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets, which ultimately only concern a few people. Unfortunately, there is only a limited numberof such goals to go around. And by definition, not all the competing companies in an industry can seriously play in to be the best.Question 32-35Q32. What can actually motivate workers according to Frederick Herzberg?Q33. What does the speaker say about jobs in the computer era?Q34. What do some supermarkets do to motivate employees?Q35. Why does the speaker say financial targets are less likely to motivate workers?Section CIn the humanities, authors write to inform you in many ways. These methods can be classified into three types of informational writing: factual, descriptive and process.Factual writing provides background information on an author, composer or artist, or on a type of music, literature or art. Examples of factual writing include notes on a book jacket, or album cover and longer pieces, such as an article describing a style of music, which you might read in a music appreciation course. This kind of writing provides a context for your study of the humanities.As its name implies, descriptive writing simply describes, or provides an image of a piece of music, art or literature. For example, descriptive writing might list the colors an artists used in the painting, or the instrument a composer included in a musical composition, so as to make pictures or sound in the readers¡¯ mind, by calling up specific details of the work. Descriptive writing in the humanities, particularly in literature, is often mixed with critical writing.Process writing explains a series of actions that bring about result. It tells the reader how to do something. For example, explaining the technique used to shoot a film. This kind of writing is often found in art, where understanding how an art has created a certain effect is important. Authors may actually use more than onetype of technique in a given piece of informational writing.出师表两汉：诸葛亮先帝创业未半而中道崩殂，今天下三分，益州疲弊，此诚危急存亡之秋也。

四级英语考试真题202312月听力In the realm of language proficiency assessments, the listening component of the College English Test (CET) Level 4 presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities for learners. The December 2023 session of the CET-4 listening examination was no exception, offering a diverse array of audio prompts designed to evaluate the listening skills of test-takers in real-world scenarios.The examination commenced with a series of short conversations, each followed by a question that required examinees to identify key information. This section tested the ability to comprehend the gist of dialogues and to recognize specific details, such as names, dates, and places. For instance, one conversation took place in a university setting where two students discussed the scheduling of their final exams, highlighting the importance of understanding academic context and terminology.Following the brief exchanges, the test progressed to longer dialogues and monologues. These passages were more complex, featuring advanced vocabulary and varied sentence structures. They demanded a higher level of concentration and the ability to infer meaning from context. Topics ranged from cultural discussions, such as the analysis of a classic novel, to practical matters like navigating public transportation systems.One notable monologue involved a lecture on environmental science, where the speaker detailed the effects of climate change on different ecosystems. The lecture was rich with technical terms and statistics, requiring listeners to distinguish between main ideas and supporting details. The ability to follow a structured presentation and to take effective notes was crucial for success in this part of the examination.The final section of the listening test presented a mini-lecture that was academic in nature but accessible in content. It revolved around the history of the English language, tracing its evolution from Old English to the modern era. The speaker elucidated on the influences of other languages and historical events that shaped English, providing a comprehensive overview that was both informative and engaging.Throughout the test, the audio recordings were clear, but the pace varied, simulating the natural speed of native speakers. This realistic approach prepared students for actual conversations they might encounter in English-speaking environments. The questions that accompanied the recordings were precise, leaving little room for ambiguity, yet they required careful listening to avoid common pitfalls such as distractors.In conclusion, the December 2023 CET-4 listening examination was a well-constructed assessment that mirrored the complexities of real-life communication. It not only tested the examinees' ability to understand spoken English but also their capacity to analyze, synthesize, and apply the information they heard. As such, it served as both a benchmark for language proficiency and a learning experience that could guide students in their ongoing quest for mastery of the English language. The examination underscored the significance of active listening skills, which are essential not only for academic success but also for effective interaction in a globalized world. 。

英语四级听力材料下载2016年6月英语四级听力材料下载Part II Listening ComprehensionSection ANews Report OneYou probably think college students are experts at sleeping, but parties, preparations for test, personal problems and general stress can rag a student’s sleep habits which can be bad for the body and for the mind. Texas Tech University is even offering a class called improving your sleep habits. People suffering from sleep loss are at an increased risk from obesity, psychological problems and car crashes. Students who don’t get enough sleep have poor attendance and lower grades. On top of all that, a new study published in the journal Learning and Memory finds you are probably better off sleeping than making last-minute preparations for a test. Two hundred college kids were talked toplay some unfamiliar video games. Subjects who learned the games in the morning lost some skills when they played again 12 hours later. But they did much better after getting a good night sleep. So if you really want to do yourjob well, don’t forget to get some sleep.News Report TwoLong queues, delayed flights and over-crowing at airports have become almost as much a topic for conversation in Britain, as the traditional complaining about the weather. Meanwhile, there are complains that the poor service at London’s major airports is discouraging foreigners from doing business in Britain. Much of the criticism is directed at the British Airport Authority, which runs seven major airports, including the three main ones serving London. The competition commission is now to investigate whether the British Airport Authority needs to sell off some of its assets. The idea is the competition between rival operators would lead to better service at airports. The British Airport Authority, recently bought by a Spanish company, says the root cause of the problem is not the ownership structure, but a lack of runway and terminal capacity, which is addressing through a program of heavy investment.News Report ThreeUnder the law in Massachusetts, tobacco companies have to measure the nicotine content of every type of cigarette and report the results. The Department of Public Health in Bostongathers and carefully examines the figures and then draws its conclusions.A hundred and sixteen brands were looked at for the study. Ninety two were found to have highernicotine yields than they did six years previously. The biggest increases tended to be in brands that were popular with young smokers. That worries the department because of the addicted nature of nicotine. Stendal Glanz, a professor of medicine in San Francisco, explains why, “The amount of nicotine that is delivered in every cigarette is ten percent higher than it was six years ago, which means that is easier to get hooked and harder to quit.The big tobacco companies have always insisted that they are frank with their customers about the dangers of smoking and provide them withenough detail to make an informed decision. However, none of them were prepared to comment on this study or discuss the detailed nicotine content of their products.”Section BConversation OneM: And you know one thing that I want to ask you, it is greatly you have happy experiences of teaching in Indonesia and following up on what you have just mentioned. What would youto recommend for students who do not live in English speaking country? And you know, they want to learn. I don’t know about perfecting but they want at least to be able to communicate decently. How can we go about this?W: Yeah, it is really hard. That’s the real struggle because right now I do live in Holland but I really don’t socialize much with Dutch people. And my boyfriend’s English is so good that we just basically speak English all the time. SoI have to make a real effort to practice. There is as muchlistening exposure as I want. All I have to do is turning on the TV.M: And reading also, right?W: Yeah, reading. There is plenty I can get to read and listen to. But for speaking, there really is no substitute for trying to speak and use the language in a relaxed atmosphere.So I think that’s really the challenge for people who live in a country where their target language isn’t spoken. And for that, gosh, what would I do? If I didn’t have people here, probably… try to find a club? In Sweden, they havea really cool system called study circles,well it’s not.It’s like a course, but really you just have a course leader, who is there sort of as a coaching guideand to help out. Andyou don’t get grades, and you go just because you want to learn.Conversation TwoW: OK, Nathan, so we’re talking about driving. Andare there any rules or regulations that you’d like to change?M: I’m not sure I want to change rules, but I’d like the police to be strict on the rules. Like, if people jump the traffic lights, I don’t know why there isn’ta camera on the traffic lights to stop people doing that. Or like speeding, it is very easy to put speed cameras in some places.W: Maybe car manufacturers should have some responsibility in limiting the power of their engines. What’s the point in producing the engines that is big and powerful enough to golike 200 kilometers /h when the speed limit is only 100. M: Right. But do you know…there are no speed limits in Germany. W: People there do drive responsibly though. Often, people break laws simply because the laws are there. If the law isn’t there, people will drive within their ability range. When you’ve got speed limits, this creates situations that actually present dangers on the road.M: Do you think Germans have better education about the personal responsibility when driving?W: Possibly. They also have very good cars.M: Right.W: If you’ve got a good car that can go at a high speed, then it’s really nice to do that.M: But still with care.W: So I think it’s the restrictions that create the dangers sometimesM: OKW:Obviously, when driving through residential areas or where there is a school, you’ve got to have speed policeman. M: SpeedbumpsW: Yes, speedbumps, those speed-bumps that force you to slow down. I think that’s a good idea.M: So you don’t think fining people is useful?W: Not really, because the police don’t have time to police every single driver.Section CPassage OneBehind the cards register at a store in downtown San Francisco, Sam Azar swiped his credit card to pay for a pack of cigarettes. The store’s card reader failed to scan the card’s man-made stripe. Azar tried again and again.No luck. Ascustomers began to queue, Mr. Azar reached beneath the counter for a black plastic bag. He wrapped one layer of the plastic around the card and tried again. Success, the sale was completed. “I don’t know how it works, it just does,”said Mr. Azar who learned the trick from another clerk. Therefore, the company that makes the store’s card reader would not confirm or deny that plastic bag trick worked. But it’s one of many low-tech fixes for high-tech failures that people without engineering degrees have discovered often out of desperation and shared. Today’s shaky economy is likely to produce many more such tricks. “In postwar Japan, the economy wasn’t doing so great, so you couldn’t get everyday use items like household cleaners, ”says Lisa Khayyam, author of Yowaza, a book named after the Japanese term for clever lifestyle tips and tricks. So people look for ways to dowith what they had. Today, Americans are finding their own tips and tricks for fixing malfunctioning devices with supplies as simple as paper and glue. Some, like Mr. Azar’s plastic bag, are open to arguments as to how they work, or whether they really work at all. But manytech-homeremedies can be explained by a little science. Passage TwoIf you are a graduate student, you may depend on youradviser for many things，including help with improving grades, acquiring financial support, forming and examining committee and getting letters of recommendation. If you are a graduate teaching assistant, your adviser also may be your boss. Academic departments vary in that procedures for assigning academic advisers to graduate students. In some departments, either the chairman or the director of graduate studies serves for at leastthe first semester as a new student adviser. Then the students select an adviser based on shared academic interests. In other departments, a new student is assigned a faculty adviser based on some systems of distribution of departments advising load. Later, students may have the opportunity of selecting adviser that they prefer. In any case,new graduate students can learn who their advisers or temporary advisers are by visiting or emailing the departmental office and asking for the information. Graduation requirements specify the number of credits you must earn,the minimum grade point average you must achieve and the distribution of credits you must have for among differing departments or fields of study. In addition, it is necessary to apply for graduation, when you are near the time that you will be completing your graduation requirements. Since graduation requirements vary amongdivisions among the university, you should consult the Bulletin of information. You should also direct your questions to your departmental office or academic adviser.Passage ThreeJody Hebert is a diet and nutrition expert who travels around the state to speak in middle and high schools. She primarily speaks to students in health classes, but sometimes the school will arrange for her to speak to several different groups of girls. Her biggest concern is the emphasis American culture places on thinness and the negative ways that this affects girls today. Jody has a Ph.D in nutrition, but more important, she has personal experience.Her mother told her to diet when she was only 8 years old. Jody has created several different presentationswhich she gives to different types of audiences, and she tries to establish an emotional connection with the students so that they will feel comfortable asking questions or talking to her privately. She shows them pictures and images from popular culture of beautiful women and explain how computers are used to make the women look even more thin and beautiful than they are in real life. She describes how the definition of beauty has changed over the years and even from culture to culture. She then talks about health issues and thephysical damages that can occur as a result of dieting. Finally, she addresses self-respect and the notion that a person’s sense of beauty must include more than how much a person weighs. Sometimes Jody feels that she succeeds in persuading some students to stop dieting; other times, she feels that she fails.。

xx年英语四级听力mp3下载For many years, machines have been doing work that people once did, including some difficult jobs. Search and rescue operations in dangerous environments are often seen as the first areas that will employ high technology robots. But there is another area that may soon take jobs traditionally held by human beings: the restaurant industry.Teams from around the world peted in early June at the DARPA Robotic Challenge Finals in California. A team from South Korea and its robot, called DRC-Hubo, won first place in the petition. The second and third place finishers were from the United States.The robots were required to drive a vehicle, climb up steps and do mechanical work. Such activities are easy for humans to perform, but more difficult for machines.Not all of the petitors were suessful. The failures showed how difficult it is to design effective walking machines.Recently, crowds gathered for the food machinery and technology show in Tokyo, Japan. They witnessed a robotic chef preparing food. Other machines cooked, baked tasty pastries and even made sushi.Akihiro Suzuki works at Yaskawa Electric, a pany that develops robots. He says robots cannot do everything a human can, but they are able to work without being tired.He says robots cannot taste food, change heating levels or seasonings to get the best flavor. But he says if a food can be easily prepared, a robot can repeat the same movement to reproduce the same meal.One Japanese woman who saw the robots working wanted to bring them home.Masayo Mori says she would like to have a husband who could work like a robot.Suzumo Machinery demonstrated its sushi maker robot. It performs the often difficult work of wrapping the popular Japanese food.

Kudzu, as any farmer in the south will sadly tell you, is a super-powered weed. It is a strong climbing plant. Once it gets started, Kudzu is almost impossible to stop. It climbs to the tops of the tallest trees. It can cover large buildings. Whole barns and farm houses have been known to disappear from view. Wherever it grows, its thick twisting stems are extremely hard to remove. Kudzu was once thought to be a helpful plant. Originally found in Asia, it was brought to America to help protect the land from being swallowed by the sea. It was planted where its tough roots which grow up to five feet long could help hold back the soil. But the plant soon spread to places where it wasn't wanted. Farmers now have to fight to keep it from killing other plants. In a way, Kudzu is a sign of labor shortage in the south. Where there is no one to workthe fields, Kudzu soon takes over. The northern United States faces no threat from Kudzu. Harsh winters kill it off. The plant loves the warmth of the south, but the south surely doesn't love it. If someone could invent some use for Kudzu and remove it from southern farmland, his or her fortune would be assured.11.What do we learn about “Kudzu“ from the passage?12.What will happen if the fields are neglected in the southern United States?13.Why isn't Kudzu a threat to the northern United States?Passage 2The word “university” comes from the Latin word “universitas"，meaning “the whole”. Later, in Latin legal language, “universitas” meant a society or corporation. In the Middle Ages, the word meant “ an association of teachers and scholars”. The origins of universities can be traced back to the 12th to14th centuries. In the early 12th century, long before universities were organized in the modern sense, students gathered together for higher studies at certain centers of learning. The earliest centers in the Europe were at Bolonia in Italy, founded in 1088. Other early centers were set up in France, the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany from 1150 to 1386. The first universities in Britain were Oxford and Cambridge. They were established in 1185 and 1209 respectively. The famous London University was founded in 1836. This was followed by the foundation of several universities such as Manchester and Birmingham, whichdeveloped from provincial colleges. It was in the 1960 s that the largest expansion of higher education took place in Britain. This expansion took 3 basic forms： existing universities were enlarged, new universities were developed from existing colleges and completely new universities were set up. In Britain, finance for universities comes from three source： the first, and the largest source, is grants from the government, the second source is fees paid by students and the third one is private donations. All the British universities except one receive some government funding. The exception is Buckingham, which is Britain's only independent university.14.What did the word 〃Universitas〃 mean in the Middle Ages?15.Why was the 1960s so significant for British Higher Education?16.What is the main financial source for British universities?Passage 3One of the biggest problems in developing countries is hunger. An organization called Heifer International is working to improve the situation. The organization sends farm animals to families and communities around the world. An American farmer, Dan West, developed the idea for Heifer International in the 1930s. Mr. West was working in Spain where he discovered a need for cows. Many families were starving because of the civil war in that county. So Mr. West asked his friends in the United States to send some cows. The first Heifer animals were sent in 1944. Since that time, more than4,000,000 people in 115 countries have had better lives because of Heifer animals. To receive a Heifer animal,families must first explain their needs and goals. They must also make a plan which will allow them to become self-supporting. Local experts usually provide training. The organization says that animals must have food, water, shelter, health care and the ability to reproduce. Without them, the animals will not remain healthy and productive. Heifer International also believes that families must pass on some of their success to others in need. This belief guarantees that each person who takes part in the program also becomes agiver. Every family that receives a Heifer animal must agreeto give that animal's first female baby to other people inneed . Families must also agree to pass on the skills and training they receive from Heifer International. This concept helps communities become self-supporting.17.What does the speaker tell us about Mr. West?18.What is the ultimate goal of Heifer International?19.What are families required to do after they receive support from Heifer International?20.What is the major achievement of Heifer International?。

After that, I did careers work in secondary schools like the careers guidance people. Here is in the university. Then I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative side. Then progressed on to universities. So there wasn’t any plan and there was no specific training. There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now.W: But in the first place, you did a French degree.M: In my time, there wasn’t a degree you could do for administration. I think most of the administrators I’ve come across have degrees and all sorts of things.W: Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didn’t really expect to end up doing what I am doing now.M: Quite.W: But you are local to Nottingham, actually?

Could it be made wider?Q： What are the speakers doing?12,M：I’m thinking about where to go for a bite tonight. Any suggestions, Barbara?W： Well, how about the French restaurant near the KFC? Frankly, I’ve had enough of our canteen food.Q： What do we learn about the woman?13,W：Hey, if you can’t enjoy the music at a sensible volume, why not use earphones? I’m preparing for the speech contest.M：Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize I’ve being bothering you all this time.Q： What is the man probably doing?14,M：Finally, I’ve got the chance to put on my new suit tonight. I hope to make a good impression on your family.W：Come on! It’s only a family reunion. So jeans and T-shirts are just fine.Q： What does the woman mean?15.M： Would you like to see those pants in brown and navy blue? These two colors are coming in this season.W： Oh, actually grey is my favourite color, but I prefer something made from cotton, 100% cotton I mean.Q： What is the woman looking for?16.W： From here, the mountains look as if you could just reach out and touch them.M：That’s why I chose this lodge.

It’s only 799, half the usual price andit’s very tasty.W： Oh really? I will try it.Q： What does the man say about the dish?Conversation 1W：Good evening, and welcome to this week’s business world, the program for and about business people. Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?M： Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I’ll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn’t let anything stand in my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I’d love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want.W：You mean you don’t keep regular hours?M： Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early.W： Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?M： Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It’s great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers.W： Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business.Question 19-22 are based on the conversation you havejust heard.19.What is the woman doing?20.What did Mr. Kayne do before he took over the bicycle shop?21.Why did the man take over a bicycle shop?22.What do we learn about the people working in the shop?Conversation 2W： Well, the main activities in the region were historically steel and paper processing, I think.M：Yes, but I’m not quite sure about the status of those industries now. Could you tell us something about that?W： Yes, of course. In fact, they are less significant, but steel-related manufacturing still accounts for 44% of industrial activity. So it’s still very important. In fact, 80% of Spain’s machine tools are from the Basque Country. As for paper processing, there’s still a little. But it’s no longer what it once was in the region. So, is that clear?M： Yes, thanks.W：Now, to get back to what I was saying, there’s a lot of unemployment as well as geographical problems in the region.M： Sorry, Victoria. What do you mean by geographical problems?W： Well, what I mean is the area is very hilly, mountainous in parts. So there used to be transport problems, now though there are new train links and better roads, but it may be that some smaller towns inland remain not very well connected, is that OK? Does that make sense? When we talk about specific location suggestions for the factory, we’ll see this in more detail, so we’ll come back to this question, OK?M： OK, right.W： So I was about to say something about the work forcein the region and the level of training and education. In general, it’s very good and improving.Question 23-25 are based on the conversation you havejust heard.23. What does the woman say about the steel-related manufacturing in the region?24. What problems hinder the region’s development?25. What will the speakers discuss later?。

The American Family (1994)The concept of family life has changed considerably over the years. / In earliest times, several generations lived together in clans, / which consisted of all living descendents and their husbands or wives. / These clans were almost totally self-sufficient, / every member contributing in some way toward the survival of the group. / The men hunted and fished for food or sometimes maintained flocks of sheep or goats. / The women baked bread and roasted the meat their men provided. / Special members of the community were selected to make products like pottery, baskets and home weapons. / But with the development of greater varieties of food, clothing and shelter, / a single clan could no longer develop all the individual skills the group required. / Clans merged into larger societies and at the same time broke into smaller units consisting of married couples and their children. / Later the Industrial Revolution brought about even more important changes in family life. / New inventions brought shorter working hours for men and easier housekeeping routines for women. / Today a productive family life suggests not the group's cooperative efforts of working together, / but the pleasant and meaningful sharing of its leisure.Unidentified Flying Objects (1995)There are many explanations for why UFOs visit the Earth. / The most popular one is that they maybe visitors from other planets./ To fly such aircraft, their builders must develop different forms of aviation,/because they seem to flymuch faster than normal aircraft./ The UFOs, it is believed, must contain scientists/ from other planets who are studying life on earth./ It is even believed that several such aircraft may have landed on earth/ and the space visitors may be living amongst us./But there are also less fantastic explanations available./ Although some sightings of UFOs are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily./ In many cases the observers might have made a mistake./ They might have seen a weather balloon or an aircraft./ Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground,/ reflected on to the clouds./ However, the exact cause of many sightings still remained a mystery.The Indian Medicine Man (1996)Among the Indians of North America, the medicine man was a very important person. He could cure illness and he could speak to the spirits. The spirits were the supernatural forces that controlled the world. The Indians believed that bad spirits made people ill. So when people were ill, the medicine man tried to help them by using magic. He spoke to the good spirits and asked for their help. Many people were cured, because they thought the spirits were helping them, but really these people cured themselves. Sometimes your own mind is the best doctor for you. The medicine men were often successful for another reason, too. They knew about plants that really can cure illness. A lot of medicine are made from the plants that were used by medicine men hundred of years ago.Legal Age for Marriage (1997)Throughout the United States, the legal age for marriage shows some difference. The most common age without parents' consent is 18 for both females and males. However, persons who are under age in their home state can get married in another state, and then return to the home state legally married. Each state issues its own marriage license. Both residents and non-residents are qualified for such a license. The fees and ceremonies vary greatly from state to state. Most states, for instance, have a blood test requirement, but a few do not. Most states permit either a civil or religious ceremony, but a few require the ceremony to be religious. In most states a waiting period is required before the license is issued. This period is from one to five days depending on the state. A three-day-wait is the most common. In some states there is no required waiting period.The Railways in Britain (1998)The success of early railways, such as the lines between big cities,/ led to a great increase in railway building in Victorian times. / Between 1835 and 1865 about 25000 kilometres of track were built,/ and over 100 railway companies were created. /Railway travel transformed people's lives. / Trains were first designed to carry goods. / However, a law in the 19th century forced railway companies to run one cheap train a day / which stopped at every station and cost only a penny a mile. / Soon working class passengers found they could afford to travel by rail. / Cheap day excursion trains became popular and seaside resorts grew rapidly. / The railways also provided thousands of new jobs:/ building carriages, running the railways and repairing the tracks. / Railways even changed the time. / Theneed to run the railways on time meant that local time was abolished/ and clocks showed the same time all over the country. /United Nations Day(1999)The 24th of October is celebrated as United Nations Day. h is a day that belongs to everyone. And it is celebrated in most countries of the world. Some countries celebrate for a week instead of a day. In many parts of the world, schools have special programs for the day. Boys and girls in some communities decorate a UN tree. In other communities, young people put on plays about the UN. Some libraries exhibit children's art works from around the world. Schools celebrate with the songs and dances of other countries or give parties where foods of other countries are served. No matter how the day is celebrated, the purpose of these celebrations is to help everyone understand the UN, and the important roles it plays in world affairs. The UN encourages people to learn about other lands and their customs. In this way, people can gain a better understanding and appreciation of peoples all over the world.What We Know About Language(2000)Many things about language are a mystery and will remain so. However, we now do know something about it. First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. No human race anywhere on earth is so backward that it has no language of its own at all. Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many peoples whose cultures are undeveloped but the languages they speak are by no means primitive. In all the languages existing inthe world today, there are complexities that must have been developed for years. Third, we know that all languages are perfectly adequate. Each is a perfect means of expressing its culture. And finally, we know that language changes over time, which is natural and normal if a language is to survive. The language which remains unchanged is nothing but dead.Characteristics of A Good Reader(2001)To improve your reading habits, you must understand the characteristics of a good reader. First, the good reader usually reads rapidly. Of course, he does not read every piece of material at the same rate. But whether he is reading a newspaper or a chapter in a physics text, his reading rate is relatively fast. Hehas learned to read for ideas rather than words one at a time. Next, the good reader can recognize and understand general ideas and specific details. Thus he is able to comprehend the material with a minimum of effort and a maximum of interest. Finally, the good reader has in his command several special skills, which he can apply to reading problems as they occur. For the college student, the most helpful of these skills include use of the various aids to understanding that most text books provide and skim-reading for a general survey.Disappearing Forests(2002)The world's forests are disappearing. As much as 1/3 of the total tree cover has been lost since agriculture began some 10,000 years ago. The remaining forests are home to half of the world's species, thus becoming the chief resource for their survival. Tropical rain forests once covered 12% of the land of the planet,as well as supporting at least half of the world's species of plants and animals. These rain forests are home to millions of people. But there are other demands on them. For example, much has been cut for timber. An increasing amount of forest land has been used for industrial purposes or for agricultural development such as crop-growing. By the 1990' s less than half of the earth' s original rain forests remained, and they continued to disappear at an alarming rate every year. As a result the world's forests are now facing gradual extinction.Salmon (2003)Every year, millions of salmon swim from the ocean into the mouths of rivers and then steadily up the rivers. Passing through waters, around rocks and waterfalls, the fish finally reach their original streams or lakes. They dig out nests in the riverbed and lay their eggs. Then,exhausted by their journey, the parent salmon die. They have finished the task that nature has given them. Months, or years later, the young fish start their trip to the ocean. They live in the salt water from 2-7 years, until they, too are ready to swim back to reproduce. Their life cycle helps man provide himself with a basic food-fish. When the adult salmon gather at the river mouths for the annual trip up the rivers, they are in the best possible condition, and nearly every harbor has its salmon fishing fleet ready to catch thousands for markets.Money (2004)Money is accepted across the world as payment for goods or services. People use money to buy food, clothes and hundreds of other things. In the past, manydifferent things were used as money. People on Pacific islands once exchanged shells for goods. The Chinese used cloth and knives. In Africa, elephant tusks or salt were used. Even today, some people in Africa are still paid in salt. Coins were first invented by the Chinese. Originally, they were round pieces of metal with a hole in the center, so that a piece of string could keep them together. This made doing business much easier, but people still found coins inconvenient to carry when they wanted to buy something expensive. To solve this problem, the Chinese again came up with the solution. They began to use paper money for coins. Now paper notes are used throughout the world.The Wrist Watch (2005)It is generally believed that wrist watches are an exception / to the normal sequence in the evolution of man's jewelry. / Reversing the usual order, they were first worn by women, / and then adopted by men. / In the old days, queens included wrist watches among their crown jewelry. / Later, they were worn by Swiss workers and farmers. / Until World War I, Americans associated the watch with fortune hunters. / Then army officers discovered that the wrist watch was most practical for active combat. / Race car drivers also loved to wear wrist watches, / and pilots found them most useful while flying. / Soon men dared to wear wrist watches without feeling self-conscious. / By 1924, some 30 percent of man's watches were worn on the wrist. / Today, the figure is 90 percent. / And they are now worn by both men and women / for practical purposes rather than for decoration.专业四级考试听写评分标准1. 听写共分15小节；每节1分。
