other parts of North America. Today Mexico has two kinds of cowboys. One kind called “charros” [who] ride horses and compete in sports. The other are the vaqueros that I just described, and who work with cattle on the ranches, especially in the north of the country. The vaqueros still ride horses and live outdoors for many months at a time. This is a picture of Manuel Rodriguez, a young vaquero in Coahuila, Mexico. Manuel started helping his father at La Mora Ranch when he was only four years old. He was the fourth generation of his family to work at La Mora Ranch. Manuel recently got married and moved to the city, but he plans to move back to the countryside and work as a vaquero again after his first child is born. OK, so from this we can see that the cowboy’s way of life hasn’t changed. That’s because the work hasn’t changed. Cowboys still ride

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.

There are holes in the pipes that the player covers with his or her fingers to play different notes.Bagpipes have a long history. Musicians in ancient Rome played a similar instrument with an airbag and pipes.

Why have the PlayPump locations become a center of social activity?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________The PlayPump locations have become a center of social activity because children can play there and adults can gather while they collect the water.Listening 2In rural Africa, clean water is a luxury. Many small villages in Africa don’t have access to clean water. Most people don’t have plumbing in their homes. 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.。

Listening 2
2. Why are some people worried about the housing growth?
Answer Keys 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.
Answer Keys Building a house from wood means cutting down trees and damaging the environment. Straw is a kind of grass, and it takes little energy to grow.
Answer Keys Baja California has coasts on the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, so tourists can enjoy sea life such as dolphins, whales, and unusual fish. Its beautiful mountains and deserts are also excellent for hiking and sightseeing.

They have a bag that holds air, and one or more small pipes that make the notes of the music. The player blows air into the bag, and then the air comes out slowly through the pipes to make the sound. There are holes in the pipes that the player covers with his or her fingers to play different notes.Bagpipes have a long history. Musicians in ancient Rome played a similar instrument with an airbag and pipes. Today m the most famous bagpipes are in Scotland and Ireland, but there are many different instruments like this in different regions of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.Unit 31.Brazil has more fresh water available for its people than any other country.2.Farmers require 911 gallons (3,449 liters) of water to produce 2.2 pounds (one kilogram)ofrice.3.Clean water is very important for staying healthy, About one million people die each yearfrom drinking dirty water.4.Melting snow and ice is a fast and easy way to provide drinking water for people in coldplaces.5.China has built more than 22,000 dams to manage water for different uses such as electricity.6.Scientists say that 13 gallons （49 liters）of water per day is enough for one person.7.You can collect water in a desert with just a sheet of plastic and an empty can.8.Water is a renewable resource, so we can use the same water again and again.9.The Nile River in Africa (the longest river in the world) flows through four differentcountries.10.People in Australia use the smallest amount of water of any country in the world.Unit 4For the past four weeks we have studied attachment theory, beginning with Harry Harlow’s experiments with monkeys. In those experiments, researchers took baby monkeys from their mothers. The monkeys had many emotional problems without their mother’s love. We also studied john Bowlby. His work showed us that human babies need a sense of security, too. Without this security from an adult, they have problems in future relationships. Finally, we looked at Phillip Shaver’s recent ideas about attachment theory and romantic love.Your assignment is to plan a class presentation of 10 to 15 minutes. First, select tow of theresearchers we studied. You will briefly summarize their research and then explain which scientist’s work you think will have the greatest impact on people today. Be sure to support your opinion with reasons.Unit 5There are fewer than 800 mountain gorillas in the world. They live in four national parks. In Africa. Mountain gorillas live in family groups with as many as 40 gorillas, Adult male gorillas can weigh over 400 pounds (180 kilograms). Female gorillas become mothers at around 10 years old, and have one baby every here or four years. Mountain gorillas are mainly vegetarian. They eat so many plants that they rarely need to drink water. Mountain gorillas are shy. Most of the time, they avoid human beings. They gorilla’s only predators are humans and leopards. Losing the land where they live s a much larger problem for them.Unit 6Bernard Weber wanted to use modern technology to bring the people of the world closer together. He knew that the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World were chosen by one person. Si of the wonders don’t exist anymore. So he created a way to let the world determine the New Seven Wonders: an open election using the Internet and text messaging. Anyone could nominate a special site, and anyone could vote. Naturally, many people voted for sites in their own countries. In some places, people were encouraged by their government to vote. Sites in 220 countries were nominated, so there were plenty of wonders to vote for. Millions of votes were registered, and on July 7th, 2007, the seven winners were announced in Lisbon, Portugal. Fourteen finalists were also announced-perhaps because it was difficult to limit the Wonders of the World to only seven.Unit 7Anthropologists, scientists who study human beings, have long said that modern humans first lived in Africa, and then moved east toward Asia, north across the Mediterranean, and later throughout the world.Now a very large genetic study supports that theory. They study looked at nearly 1,000 people in 51 places around the world. It found the most genetic diversity in Africa, and less genetic diversity farther away from Africa. How did this happen? When small groups of people moved away, they took only a small amount of all the possible genetic information with them. People in the small groups reproduce. Their offspring inherited their parents’ more limited set of genes. Their traits were very similar to those of their parents. This process continue as small groups of people continued as small groups of people continued to move farther from Africa.Unit 8A business plan is your map to success. In it, you write down what you hope to achieve n your new business and how you will do it. Your business plan should answer the following questions:1.

国际交流英语视听说答案【篇一：国际交流英语视听说4 u2 听力原文及翻译】ss=txt>tour guide: ok, everyone, here’s our next exhibit. do you see the body of the little bird in that bottle? that is a dusky seaside sparrow. it was an old male that died on june 16, 1987. it’s kind of sad because he was the very last dusky seaside sparrow i n the world. they’re now extinct. yes, you have a question?male: do you know why they became extinct?tour guide: basically, they lost their habitat. see, the dusky seaside sparrow lived only in one place—on merritt island in florida. the island had a lot of mosquitoes and wetlands. the people on merritt island used chemicals to kill the mosquitoes. tour guide: those chemicals were also very harmful to the sparrows, and many died. in addition, the people on merritt island tried to control and exploit the wetlands. as they altered them, the wetlands were no longer a good habitat for the sparrows. the birds died one by one until there weren’t any left. female: so, if people were to blame, can’t we make sure something like that never happens again?tour g uide: we’re trying. the situation with the dusky seaside sparrow makes one thing very clear. we need to protect endangered animals. however, it’s a better strategy to protect the animals andtheir habitats, too. after all, if an animal’s habitat is destr oyed, the animal will likely become extinct.tour guide: we’re trying. the situation with the dusky seaside sparrow makes one thing very clear. we need to protect endangered animals. however, it’s a better strategy to protect the animals andtheir habita ts, too. after all, if an animal’s habitat is destroyed, the animal will likely become extinct. that’s why the endangered species act, which was passed in the united states in 1973, protects both endangered animals and their habitats. for example, the steelhead trout lives in rivers and streams on the west coast of the united states—the columbia river in washington state for instance. recently, both the fish and the river came under the protection of the endangered species act.male: but how can we protect large areas such as rivers and forests? no one—not even the government—can afford to buy or control all the land that endangered species live on.tour guide: good point. in fact, that’s what makes the endangered species act difficult to fully enforce. t here’s an ongoing conflict between some landowners and the government. take the case of the gray wolf, for instance. at one time, the wolves were common all over north america, but by the 1930s they were nearly all killed. then in 1973, the wolves came under the protection of the endangered species act, along with huge areas of land—in wyoming and idaho, for example. this angered ranchers. they think they should have the right to shoot wolves that threaten their sheep and cows.tour guide: so, landowners may understand the need for the protection of endangered species, but it’s understandable that they might also feel that the endangered species act violates their rights. yes?female: is the law working? i mean, what is the status of endangered species today in the unitedstates?tour guide: unfortunately, the situation of threatened and endangered animals is worse now than in 1973, even with the endangered species act in place. reports on topics such as habitat loss, deforestation, and overfishing show that the situation for many species is far worse now than it was in 1973. let me be more specific. right now over 1,300 species in the united states are listed as endangered or threatened.tour guide: and, it’s important to keep in mind that not many species are ever taken off the list. since 1973, in fact, only around 39 species have been removed from the endangered species list. but that number doesn’t indicate the complete story. what’s significant about that number is that only 14 species were removed because they had actually recovered. nine species became extinct, and the others were removed from the list after scientists found evidence that listing the species had been a mistake in the first place. meanwhile, another 300 species may soon be added to the list, including a plant, the las vegas buckwheat, and an insect, the miami blue butterfly. so, you see, even with the endangered species act in place, we’re not making as much progress as we would like.any more questions? ok, let’s move on to the next exhibit. this way, please.导游:好吧,各位,这是我们的下一个展览。

Don’t waste energy drying your dishes in the dishwasher. Drythem by hand instead of using energy by drying them in the dishwasher.2. Cut back on your use of hot water. Take a five-minute shower, or use only four inches (10 centimeters) of water in your bath.3. Keep track of your electric bills. Make a chart of how much energy you use, and watch the numbers go down every month.4. Recycle all of your cans, bottles, and paper. Recycled materials consume much less energy than new materials.5. Unplug computers, printers, TVs, and cell phone chargers when you aren’t using them. They use electricity even when they are turned off—up to eight percent of your electric bill!1.不要浪费精力晒你的菜在洗碗机。
