国际交流英语视听说4Unit1FurtherListening1Finding affordable land for housing is a challenge in many of the world's largest cities. Some residents of Tokyo, Japan, have found a solution to this problem. They are building homes on pieces of land as small as 344 square feet (32 square meters)These "micro-homes" allow people to live close to central Tokyo and cost much less than other homes in the city. Many micro-homes have several floors and big windows that maximize sunlight.找打可用的土地来建房子是许多超大城市所面临的挑战。

在日本东京的一些居民找到了解决这个问题的办法，他们在一块仅有344平方英尺（相当于32平方米）的土地上建房子。

这种“迷你房子”可以让人们比其他的房子花更少的钱而能够靠近东京市区住居。

许多“迷你房子”有很多层，并且有很大的窗户来最大限度的采光。

Many cities have problems with air pollution and smog. What can big cities do to regulate the amount of air pollution and smog generated by cars and factories? An Italian company has come up with an innovative tool to reduce pollution: smog-eating cement. The cement contains a substance that converts pollution into harmless chemicals. The harmless chemicals wash off roadways when it rains. Smog-eating materials are also being used in roof tiles in Los Angeles, California, the smoggiest city in the United States许多城市面临着空气污染和烟雾的问题，这些大城市能够在控制空气污染，汽车和工厂产生的烟雾的问题上做些什么呢？一家意大利公司已经找到了一种革命性的工具来解决这一污染问题：它就是一种吸附烟尘的凝胶，这种凝胶可以将污染物转化成无害的化学物质。

The photos come from countries all over the world, so it’s just a normal part of life for Griffiths to travel. Living in other countries is not for everyone, but for Griffiths and her children, it’s an adventure. Her children especially love the Middle East, and their experiences in that part of the world helped them to learn about other cultures. Griffiths’ work can also be dangerous. Traveling is not always safe. In the Galapagos Islands, Griffiths found herself in the water with sharks one day! Besides writing and taking pictures, Griffiths teaches photography skills to people who want to become photographers. They know they are learning from one of the best photographers in the world.Unit 2Listening 1A.

The group of researchers tickled the necks, feet, hands, and armpits of young apes. The team recorded more than 800 of the resulting laughs on tape. The research suggests that the apes’ panting noise is the sound of laughter. They think that this panting is the basis for human expressions of joy—the “ha-ha” sound we make when we laugh. When we find something funny, such as a joke, we laugh. When apes find something funny, such as a tickle, they laugh. Humans find many situations funny—such as jokes, tickles, TV comedy shows—but we are not unique because animals laugh, too.Unit 3Listening 1A. 1.He is an anthropologist. 2. The durian fruit.3.

Spain 3. “a little bit of heart ” 4. work 5. hot teaListening 3 DictationDo you like to eat bugs? Some people do, and some people don’t. But here’s the surprise—even if you don’t like eating insects, you are probably eating them anyway.In the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows some insects and insect parts in food, as long as they don’t make people sick. For example, for every 3.5 ounces, chocolate can have up to 60 insect parts and peanut butter can have 30 insect fragments, according to the FDA. Tomato sauce can’t con tain more than 30 fly eggs per 3.5 ounces.And food is not the only place you can find insects and insect parts. Cochineal insects give ared or pink coloring to foods, lipsticks, and beverages. The small bugs are listed as “cochineal extract” on the ingr edient list. The fact is—you can’t always avoid eating insects.Unit 4Listening 1A. b. A straw house is another way to “go green”.B. 1. Building a house from wood means cutting down trees and damaging the environment. Strawis a kind of grass, and it takes little energy to grow.2. After the straw is dry, farmers use a machine to make bales—large rectangular bricks of straw.Then, builders build walls with the bales. When they finish the walls, they cover them with plaster inside and outside.3. Furbish used about 900 straw bales for his family’s house. His company used about 4,000bales to build an elementary school in Maryland.Listening 2A. 1. T 2. F (Y ou don’t have to be a Mexican citizen to own property here.) 3. T1.Baja California has coasts on the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, so tourists can enjoy sealife such as dolphins, whales, and unusual fish. Its beautiful mountains and deserts are also excellent for hiking and sightseeing.2. The housing growth in Baja California may cause damage to the environment as more and more people move in. Baja California is also very dry, so having enough drinking water for everyone is another concern.Listening 3 DictationIn Barcelona, Spain, both visitors and residents of the city know about the architect Antoni Gaudí. The Casa Milà is perhaps his best-known building. From the outside, the walls look like natural stone. On the roof, several large, unusual works of art are actually chimneys—they carry away gases from cooking and heating from inside the apartments.The Casa Batlló is another of Gaudí’s apartment buildings. The outside of the building is very colorful, and it’s easy to see that Gaudí was an artis t as well as an architect. Not every apartment is spacious, but each apartment has a balcony, so residents can stand outside their bedrooms or living rooms and see the street below.Unit 5Listening 1A. 1-3 b c cB 1. T2. F (The number has actually grown.)3. F (They seem to find it appealing.)4. F (James Joyce is one of the most respected modern writers.)Listening 2A.1-3 c b aListening 3 DictationAncient Egyptians knew that death was inevitable—all living things eventually die— but in an attempt to make the afterlife as comfortable as possible, mummies were accompanied by things they would need in the future. The items buried with ancient Egyptians represented important aspects of their daily lives—everything from furniture to cooking oil. They believed that in the afterlife, these items became real and useful to the dead person. That idea may not seem rational nowadays, but ancient Egyptians didn’t distinguish between human needs before and after death. They even mummified pieces of meat to represent the food the dead person would need.Unit 6 Analytical ListeningListening 1ListeningA.√Astronauts often don’t get enough sleep.√Astronauts wear special spacesuits to protect their bodies.√Astronauts need to get a lot of exercise in space.B. 1-4 c c a bC. 1.

Seeing the stars at night, however, is not easy to do in a city. Streetlights and lights from businesses and advertisers shine into the night sky, and only the brightest stars can be seen.The dark-sky movement wants to change this. They argue that seeing the night sky is important for everyone——not only for astronomers. They say that outdoor lighting affects human health and wildlife, and they recommend simple things such as streetlights that only let light shine down at the street, not up at the sky.Unit 7Listening 1ListeningA.Slide 1: Location: Montreal, CanadaImportance: 2. brings people togetherSlide 2: Location: Madrid, SpainType of art: chalk artSlide 3: Location: California, U.S.A.Type of art: sand artSlide 4: Time to finish a piece: 7 hoursReason art is temporary: ocean tides erase the artListening 2ListeningA. b. to inform the audience about a musicianB.(1) Peace, Love(2) two (3) left the trio and began his solo career(4) a singer (5) he can’t play every note on the ukulele (6) play alone Viewing the WorldWhile ViewingC. 1. ninth 2. art 3.

The Silent Evolution is a group of sculptures on the ocean floor. Taylor used real people as models when he was making them. There are more than 400 of them, and together, they form one huge piece of art. It’s especially interesting because Taylor did not repeat any of the sculptures —each one is a sculpture of a different person. The sculptures are temporary, because sea animals and plants make their homes on them, and in time, and a new reef will form.Listening 2A.1. It began at zoos in the United States.2.

There are a lot of festivals here, and many kinds of music, but my favorite kind of music is traditional Mexican music—the kind of music my grandparents and great-grandparents listened to.I’m a folk dancer, and I love to perform at special events. To be a folk dancers, you have to love the culture and the music here. That’s the most important thing, but we also need to work hard and practice a lot. We dance in groups, and every person has to know the steps. And you can’t buy traditional folk dancing dresses at the store, so we have to make our own. We wear traditional dresses that only come from this part of Mexico.Unit 8Further ListeningListening 1A. 1. baby talk 2. rhesus monkeys 3. 1) a raised pitch 2) a swooping, sing-song styleB. 1.

This growing need for energy causes us to burn more and more fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels such as coal puts carbon into the air. Carbon dioxide, or CO2, and other gases reduce the amount of heat that goes out into space. When less heat goes out into space, it means that more heat stays in the earth’s atmosphere. When more heat stays in the earth’s atmosphere, the average temperature increases, making it warmer.To be continued >>>Listening 1A significantly higher average temperature leads to climate change and changes to the weather. Climate change can have a negative impact on people’s lives. For example, climate change can make it difficult to grow food in some places. People are starting to conserve energy by making changes that cause them to use less fuel. For example, people are buying smaller cars. Smaller cars are more efficient because they use less gas and oil.Listening 2Yoho National Park, British Columbia, CanadaListening 2A | Read the statements.

Theybelieve this increase in temperature is having a negative impacton our environment. You might think that protecting the planet istoo big a job for you, but it isn’t. There are many small andpractical ways you can conserve energy and help protect theenvironment. Here are some helpful tips.Cut back on driving by taking public transportation or walkingmore often. You will save a lot of gas if you drive to work two orthree days a week instead of five! Shop at local stores close toyour home.To be continued >>>Listening 2You will drive less, so you can spend less money on gas and more money on food. Turn off lights and electronics whenyou aren’t using them so you don’t waste electricity. Replace your old appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers with new, efficient models. Old appliances consume more energy than new ones. Keep track of the electricity and gas you use and how you use it. Write down the different activities you do that use gas or electricity and how often you do them in an energy journal.To be continued >>>Listening 2Use your energy journal to help you set a lower target for your energy use each month. For example, if your energy bill is $100 one month, try lowering your bill to $80, or by 20 percent the next month. Try to reduce the amount of energy you use by making gradual changes to your lifestyle. You will see that making small changes each month can have a big impact on the amount of energy you use—and help protect our beautiful planet!Listening 3 Dictation.Listen to some ideas about energy saving and write down what you hear.

TListening 1In the 1800s, cowboys worked with cattle all across the western region of the United States. An important factor in the cowboys’ work was the railroad. Most cattle were in Texas, but the railroadwas more than 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers) away. Cowboysmoved the cattle there in big cattle drives. Experts estimate that in a cattle drive, only 10 cowboys could take more than 3,000 cattle to a railroad town. Cowboys typically worked for about four months, and received all their pay at the end. Then they spent it very quickly in the town. The average cowboy was only 24 years old. Working alone with their cattle, cowboys developed some very interesting customs. For example, at night, some cowboys would sing to the cattle to keep them quiet. Some traditional American songs came from these singing cowboys. Cowboys have not disappearedTo be continued >>>Listening 1completely, but there are not nearly as many as there were in the past. One reason for this is very few young people want to workso hard for so little money, so the cowboys’ way of life is endangered. Although the number of actual cowboys has decreased, there are many people who help preserve aspects of the cowboy culture. For example, cowboy hats and boots are very popular, especially in the western part of the United States, and many places still have rodeos.Listening 2At a charreada in Mexico, cowboys called “charros” compete in teams.A |Read the questions.

Instead, they often must walk longdistances to wells and haul heavy containers of water back.Traditionally, people must walk eight kilometers to get water, and carry very heavy containers that weigh about 40 pounds (18 kilograms).A new invention called the PlayPump is changing life in manyvillages. It uses a children’s toy called a merry-go-round toprovide clean water. As the merrygo-round spins, it pumps cleanwater up from deep underground and stores it in a huge tank.People are welcome to come and help themselves to the water.To be continued >>>Listening 2Patricia Molope, 17, explains that before her South African village got a PlayPump, people would pay a taxi driver to take them to afar-off well. “Sometimes the taxi drivers were busy, and we wouldhave to go without bathing in order to save our water. It was too far to walk there. But now we have our own clean water in our village, and life is better.”The exhausting chore of carrying water traditionally falls to womenand girls. Hauling water for miles—and hours—each day is such abig job, it sometimes prevents girls from being able to attend school. Thanks to the PlayPump, getting water is quick and easy—and even boys join in. The pumps have become a center of social activity where kids and adults gather to visit while collecting water.。

Welcome to Venice, everybody! To start our tour today, I want to tell you about a challenge we face in our beautiful city: floodsYou see, a large portion of Venice was built on a salt marsh. City planners had to find a way to maximize space and use every part of the marsh. Builders placed hundreds of wooden logs deep into the marsh. Then they placed building foundations on top of the logs. By doing this, they were able to convert the salt marsh into land for farming. But the salt marsh is like a giant sponge.各位，欢迎来到威尼斯，我想要告诉你们我们美丽的威尼斯面临的一个挑战：洪水。

你是知道的，威尼斯的大部分建立在盐沼地上。

城市规划者不得不找到一种方法最大可能的利用湿地的每一部分。

建设者们放置了成千上万的木深入在沼泽中。

通过这样，他们可以将盐沼地变成农地。

但是盐沼地像一个巨大的海绵。

The weight of the city pushes down on the salt marsh and buildings slowly sink into the water. High tides, called acqua alta are also a problem. Now, Venice floods on a regular basis.Venetian residents are used to the floods, but our old and beautiful buildings suffer. Many structures are damaged by the water and the restoration of these buildings is very expensive.城市自身的重量将自己压入盐沼里，建筑物也缓慢的陷入水中。

1. Listening 1OK, everyone, what I want to do today is continue our discussion about cities and the challenges they face, and, I ’d like to focus on the city of Venice, in Italy, which is an extraordinary example. So, to begin with, let extraordinary example. So, to begin with, let’’s review a few of the points we s review a few of the points we’’ve discussed so far. Remember that, for centuries, the city has been struggling with the problem of flooding. As you know, the regular floodwaters As you know, the regular floodwaters——called the acqua alta called the acqua alta——are a big problem in the city. You may also recall （想起）that the government has started the innovative （创新的） MOSE project to build water barriers and stop flooding from the ocean. Now, flooding is an important issue, but many Venetians say that the city has more serious problems than the acqua alta or the MOSE project. And most of these problems have to do with tourism. Of course, tourism has both the positive and negative side course, tourism has both the positive and negative side——tourism is extremely profitable. But the problem in Venice is too many tourists.For example, in 2007 the number of Venetian residents was 60,000. And what do you think the number of visitors to Venice was in that year? Twenty-one million! Recently, on a single holiday weekend in May, 80,000 tourists visited the city. Public parking lots filled up and were closed. And tourists walked through the streets eating and drinking and leaving a lot of trash behind.The result is that Venice The result is that Venice’’s city services just can s city services just can’’t handle t handle（处理，应对（处理，应对（处理，应对) so many people. ) so many people. The city has to pay more and more money for garbage collection to clean up all of the trash. In addition, public transportation on the famous boats and gondolas(In addition, public transportation on the famous boats and gondolas(平底船平底船平底船) is so crowded ) is so crowded that Venetian residents that Venetian residents（居民）（居民）can barely find room to get on. Along with trash and crowded transportation, city residents also have to deal with higher prices for food and for housing. Food prices continue to rise around the city. Some caf és charge as much as 13 U.S. dollars for a soft drink! In the Rialto Market —an area with many shops and stores shops and stores——some of the grocery （食品，杂货）stores have been replaced by souvenir shops, which means that Venetians have fewer places to buy their groceries. In popular tourist areas, rent has almost tripled(areas, rent has almost tripled(三倍三倍三倍), and many small local businesses ), and many small local businesses ), and many small local businesses——for example, toy for example, toy（玩（玩具） stores and hardware stores and hardware（五金）（五金） stores stores——can can’’t afford to pay.Let me add that there is a serious housing problem in Venice. At one time, there were regulations regulations（规章）（规章） making it illegal to convert making it illegal to convert（改装）（改装）residential buildings into hotels. But a law in 1999 removed those regulations, and the housing problem got even worse. Since then, the number of hotels and guesthouses has increased by 600 percent, and the number of houses that are available for local residents has gone down.These days, housing is only affordable for the very rich or for people who already own houses because they houses because they’’ve been passed down by family. Young Venetians simply can ve been passed down by family. Young Venetians simply can’’t afford to buy any property buy any property（财产）（财产）in the city. This has forced a huge number of Venetian residents to move out of the city. Thirty years ago, the population of Venice was around 120,000. Now it it’’s less than 60,000.So, why does Venice continue to encourage tourism when it causes so many problems? Mainly it Mainly it’’s because tourism in Venice generates s because tourism in Venice generates（产生）（产生）more than two billion U.S. dollars a year in revenue year in revenue（税）—（税）—（税）—and many think that the amount is much higher. and many think that the amount is much higher.Also, there there’’s a lot of financial pressure on Venice. The cleaning of canals canals（水道）（水道）（水道）, , restoration restoration（恢复）（恢复）of old structures, and the MOSE project are all very expensive. Tourism brings in money to help the city solve these problems.Another point I want to make is that many people in Venice have jobs related to tourism. As more tourists come to the city, hotels, restaurants, and museums need to hire more workers. In fact, the city of Venice has a lower unemployment rate than the rest of Italy, and it it’’s likely a result of the tourism industry.Some people think that Venice is to blame for its own problems —that these problems are the result of greed for tourists are the result of greed for tourists’’ money. There There’’s a lot of talk about limiting tourists, taxing tourists, and even asking tourists to avoid the busy seasons of Easter and Carnival. However, as you can see, maximizing the number of tourists in Venice is also necessary. So, there seem to be no simple solutions to Venice to be no simple solutions to Venice’’s tourism problem.好,大家,我今天要做的就是继续讨论城市和他们面临的挑战,我想把重点放在意大利的威尼斯市,这是一个非常好的例子。

The group of researchers tickled the necks, feet, hands, and armpits of young apes. The team recorded more than 800 of the resulting laughs on tape. The research suggests that the apes’ panting noise is the sound of laughter. They think that this panting is the basis for human expressions of joy—the “ha-ha” sound we make when we laugh. When we find something funny, such as a joke, we laugh. When apes find something funny, such as a tickle, they laugh. Humans find many situations funny—such as jokes, tickles, TV comedy shows—but we are not unique because animals laugh, too.Unit 3Listening 1A. 1.He is an anthropologist. 2. The durian fruit.3.

But here’s the surprise—even if you don’t like eating insects, you are probably eating them anyway.In the United States, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows some insects and insect parts in food, as long as they don’t make people sick. For example, for every 3.5 ounces, chocolate can have up to 60 insect parts and peanut butter can have 30 insect fragments, according to the FDA. Tomato sauce can’t con tain more than 30 fly eggs per 3.5 ounces.And food is not the only place you can find insects and insect parts. Cochineal insects give ared or pink coloring to foods, lipsticks, and beverages. The small bugs are listed as “cochineal extract” on the ingr edient list. The fact is—you can’t always avoid eating insects.Unit 4Listening 1A. b. A straw house is another way to “go green”.B. 1. Building a house from wood means cutting down trees and damaging the environment. Strawis a kind of grass, and it takes little energy to grow.2. After the straw is dry, farmers use a machine to make bales—large rectangular bricks of straw.Then, builders build walls with the bales. When they finish the walls, they cover them with plaster inside and outside.3. Furbish used about 900 straw bales for his family’s house. His company used about 4,000bales to build an elementary school in Maryland.Listening 2A. 1. T 2. F (You don’t have to be a Mexican citizen to own property here.) 3.

Its beautiful mountains and deserts are also excellent for hiking and sightseeing.2. The housing growth in Baja California may cause damage to the environment as more and more people move in. Baja California is also very dry, so having enough drinking water for everyone is another concern.Listening 3 DictationIn Barcelona, Spain, both visitors and residents of the city know about the architect Antoni Gaudí. The Casa Milà is perhaps his best-known building. From the outside, the walls look like natural stone. On the roof, several large, unusual works of art are actually chimneys—they carry away gases from cooking and heating from inside the apartments.The Casa Batlló is another of Gaudí’s apartment buildings. The outside of the building is very colorful, and it’s easy to see that Gaudí was an artis t as well as an architect. Not every apartment is spacious, but each apartment has a balcony, so residents can stand outside their bedrooms or living rooms and see the street below.Unit 5Listening 1A. 1-3 b c cB 1. T2.

The items buried with ancient Egyptians represented important aspects of their daily lives—everything from furniture to cooking oil. They believed that in the afterlife, these items became real and useful to the dead person. That idea may not seem rational nowadays, but ancient Egyptians didn’t distinguish between human needs before and after death. They even mummified pieces of meat to represent the food the dead person would need.Unit 6 Analytical ListeningListening 1ListeningA.√Astronauts often don’t get enough sleep.√Astronauts wear special spacesuits to protect their bodies.√Astronauts need to get a lot of exercise in space.B. 1-4 c c a bC. 1.

Seeing the stars at night, however, is not easy to do in a city. Streetlights and lights from businesses and advertisers shine into the night sky, and only the brightest stars can be seen.The dark-sky movement wants to change this. They argue that seeing the night sky is important for everyone——not only for astronomers. They say that outdoor lighting affects human health and wildlife, and they recommend simple things such as streetlights that only let light shine down at the street, not up at the sky.Unit 7Listening 1ListeningA.Slide 1: Location: Montreal, CanadaImportance: 2. brings people togetherSlide 2: Location: Madrid, SpainType of art: chalk artSlide 3: Location: California, U.S.A.Type of art: sand artSlide 4: Time to finish a piece: 7 hoursReason art is temporary: ocean tides erase the artListening 2ListeningA. b. to inform the audience about a musicianB.(1) Peace, Love(2) two (3) left the trio and began his solo career(4) a singer (5) he can’t play every note on the ukulele (6) play alone Viewing the WorldWhile ViewingC. 1. ninth 2. art 3.

The Silent Evolution is a group of sculptures on the ocean floor. Taylor used real people as models when he was making them. There are more than 400 of them, and together, they form one huge piece of art. It’s especially interesting because Taylor did not repeat any of the sculptures —each one is a sculpture of a different person. The sculptures are temporary, because sea animals and plants make their homes on them, and in time, and a new reef will form.Listening 2A.1. It began at zoos in the United States.2.

To be a folk dancers, you have to love the culture and the music here. That’s the most important thing, but we also need to work hard and practice a lot. We dance in groups, and every person has to know the steps. And you can’t buy traditional folk dancing dresses at the store, so we have to make our own. We wear traditional dresses that only come from this part of Mexico.Unit 8Further ListeningListening 1A. 1. baby talk 2. rhesus monkeys 3. 1) a raised pitch 2) a swooping, sing-song styleB. 1.

They receive an award of $ 10,000. The money supports the work of young people at the beginning of their careers in many fields ——biology, engineering, music and others.Ken Banks is one of the emerging explorers. In places where people can’t access the Internet, his software lets them send a message or other kinds of information with an inexpensive device: a basic cellular telephone. They just connect the phone to a computer. Then they can send information from the computer without using the Internet.。
