Unit 6 Find the Right WordsPart I Getting readyAudioscript:The English language can be traced back to prehistoric Indo-European through the West Germanic line. However, many other influences have shaped the development of Modern English. We will review some important dates in the history of the English language. The first three are Latin influences:1. In 5,5 . Caesar conquered Britain and the Celtic people.2. In 43. . Rome colonized the island.3. The Romans remained for 400 years (the first four centuries of the Christian Era).The next significant dates were:4. The year 499 (which was the year of the Anglo-Saxon conquest of the island).5. From 500 on, the West Germanic language was the basic language of Britain (or England).Influences from other languages continued however.6. In the sixth and seventh centuries England wasChristianized by missionaries sent by the Pope (so that Latin influence continued).Then,7. In the eig11th and ninth centuries the Norsemen (Vikings), invaded England with their Old Norse language.8. In 1066. the Norman Conquest brought French linguistic influence.9. The French influence continued for 300 years (the ninth century through the 11th century).10. And finally, in the fifteen and sixteen hundreds, when classical learning was revived, there was continued Latin language influence.Audioscript:1. People are delighted if you can speak their language, and they don't care how well you speak it. They are not upset when you make mistakes. I think in order to learn, you mustn't be afraid of making mistakes.2. I'm a very shy person and it's not easy for me to talk to strangers. But you have to force yourself to talk to people. That's what I did and it really helped me.3. I think the best language learners are people with a sense of humor. Try to laugh at your own mistakes and don'ttake yourself too seriously. You'll find that other people will be sympathetic when you make mistakes.4. I took two courses in business studies. I read, studied, listened to lectures and took notes in English. It was a very good experience for me because I didn't have time to think about the language. I recommend forgetting about the grammar and thinking about the meaning instead.5. In my experience, learning a foreign language always involves a lot of time, a lot of boring work and lots of problems! In short, if you want to learn another language you have to work hard.6. Try to read as much as you can. I think that's the best way to improve your English and to learn more new words.I always try to read something in English everyday.Part II Skills to communicate badnewsAudioscript:Avi Arditti:I'm Avi Arditti with Rosanne Skirble, and thisweek on Wordmaster: giving doctors better skills tocommunicate bad news.Rosanne Skirble:Anthony Back is a medical oncologist at the University of Washington and the FredHutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. Heand four colleagues are in the fifth year leadinga program funded with one and one-half milliondollars from the National Cancer Institute.Avi Arditti:Doctor Back says specially trained actors play cancer patients to help oncologists learn how toavoid sounding insensitive when the prognosis isgrim.Anthony Back:Probably the biggest misconception I face is that you're either born with this or you're not. Infact, what the research shows is that people learnto do this over time. And the way they learn to doit is they see good role models, they practice, theyget specific feedback on what they're doing, theytry-out new things, they innovate and develop newconversational practices for themselves.Avi Arditti:Can you give us some examples of those conversational practices -- what are some ways toimpart bad newsAnthony Back:Here's an example: The patient has had cancer in the past, has been doing well and is coming infor some routine follow-up tests. The routinefollow-up tests unexpectedly show the cancer hasstarted to come back.The doctor will typically go in and say to thepatient, "Guess what, your cancer's back." And thepatient will be just blown away, right There are acouple of practices there that doctors can do thatcan help. One is to start with -- especially if youdon't know the patient -- asking what the patientexpected, what did they understand about theircancer, what were they expecting with this test.Because if the patient says to you "You know, theydidn't tell me anything. I'm just here because I gotthis appointment in the mail," that's one whole kindof comprehension level. Whereas if the patient says"I had a Tl Nl MO lung cancer and they told me I hada fifty-five percent chance of disease recurrencein the next two years," that's a whole differentstory, rightThe second thing is that after you give thisdifficult news, then I think it's really importantto address both the cognitive reaction and also thekind of the emotional side of it.Rosanne Skirble: What are some of the phrases or the ways in which you can couch this newsAnthony Back:You know, the way to make it easier is to make sure that you are going from the context the patientdrew for you. So you go from what the patientunderstands and you try to use their words as muchas possible. And then, when you get to the reallybad part of the news, I think it's actuallyimportant to be direct and concrete and not to couchthe news. It's better to say "The cancer has comeback" than to say "There are hypo-densities in yourliver on the CT" (or) "You have a malignancy." Allthose euphemisms force patients to struggle tounderstand what's happening to them, and it adds totheir confusion and distress.Rosanne Skirble: :Well, should they say things like "I wish things were different" or "I hope for the best," orshould a doctor kind of maintain a distanceAnthony Back:You know, my thought about that actually is that the more skilled the physician, the less theyhave to distance themselves. There are some phrasesthat we use, and the most important ones are reallythe ones that are about empathy for the patient. Youknow, "I see this is a difficult situation, I seethis is not what you expected, I'm hoping for thebest." And I think it's fine for doctors to talkabout hope, and I think it's important actually. AviArditti:Let me ask you, have you seen any cultural differences come up in the training programs asyou've had doctors go throughAnthony Back:You know, we have actually a verymulticultural group of physicians who come, andthey all bring in all their own different valuesabout how frank should people be. Because theAmerican standard, of course, is that patientsthemselves get all the information, they make thedecision themselves, and there's this very strongemphasis on autonomy. And in a lot of other culturesthat's really not the case.Rosanne Skirble:And what got you started in the first place Anthony Back:What got me started was, when I was an oncology trainee, and this was after a personal experience-- my mother had died of a pre-leukemia kind of thing-- I remember walking around in the bone-marrowtransplant wards with this experienced -- it wasthis other, older senior physician -- going aroundhaving these life-and-death conversations withpatients and thinking, God, there has got to be abetter way to do this.Avi Arditti:The result, says Doctor Anthony Back in Seattle, is a program that has now trained about onehundred-eighty oncologists at retreats held twicea year. The program Web site is -- that'so-n-c-o-t-a-l-k dot i-n-f-o.Part III Foreign accents Audioscript:Section IAs far as I'm concerned, I do tend to judge people I meet by their accents. I don't mean that I'm a sort of snob, and only like people with posh accents, but I never feel comfortable with a new person until I've been able to place them from the way they speak. If it's an English person, I feel much more at ease if I can say "Ah, he comes form Liverpool", or "He's probably been to public school". I suppose then I know what to talk about and what to expect from the other person.The same is true of foreigners. Personally, I prefer a foreigner to speak with a recognizable foreign accent, so that I know that I'm talking to a Frenchman, a Ghanaian, a Pole, and so on. So for me, it seems a bit pointless for foreigners to try desperately hard to get rid of their national accent and try to speak BBC English. If someone is clearly French, I know there's no point in talking about cricket or making jokes about the Irish. And frankly, I think it even sounds more attractive. I can't really explain why, but if a person has a foreign accent, they seem to be more interesting, even if they are saying the most ordinary things.Audioscript:Section IIMind you, there is a limit to intelligibility. If the accent is so strong that you have a struggle to understand what they are saying, then that gets in the way of the conversation, and the flow is broken while you try to sort out the sounds into meaningful bits. I don't mean an accent as strong as that. I'm talking about the kind of accent where you can tell immediately which country the person comes from, but where they've got enough English to carry on a good conversation without searching for words, or messing up the grammar so that you lose the thread. I suppose it's the kind of accent most foreigners have, really. To be honest, it's only a very few who have such a good ear that they produce more or less genuine British English, and even then it can be quite amusing because they may have picked up a clearly regional accent, or even a very upper-class accent which doesn't fit in with their character at all. But most foreigners who learn English are desperately keen to get rid of their foreign accents and waste a lot of time trying to do so.Part IV More about the topic: Love and GrammarAudioscript:Are you looking for love When you want to impress a potential girlfriend or boyfriend, you take great care with your appearance and try to be on your best behaviour. But . . . what about your grammar Do you check if you are using verbs and commas properlyIf not, you'd better think again. The research arm of dating site OKCupid has suggested that bad grammar can ruin your love life. It looked at 500 000 first contacts on the site and concluded that "netspeak, bad grammar and bad spelling are huge turn-offs".On the other hand, the correct use of apostrophes seems to be quite an aphrodisiac. Using "don't" and "won't" caused better than average response rates says the research. American writer Twist Phelan, who went on 100 online dates in 100 days and later married someone she met online, believes that grammar is an important "filter system" for prospective partners. She says: "If you're trying to datea woman, I don't expect flowery Jane Austen prose. But aren't you trying to put your best foot forward" Perhaps you think you are ready to start looking for an English-speaking girlfriend or boyfriend. Am I right You go online, look at the picture and start calling him or her "beautiful", "gorgeous" and "sexy" before you meet. Will it work The research says it won't! The wrong adjective can put a full stop on a potential relationship. People enjoy receiving compliments but not when they sound like a pick-up line.General compliments such as "cool", "it's nice that ..." and "awesome" got good responses from the dating site users.So now you are ready. Keep your wits about you because many things online are not what they seem; and watch your vocabulary and punctuation.Some say that a comma might even save lives -- as in the example: "Let's eat, my darling!" as opposed to "Let's eat my darling!"Can you see which one would grant you a meal with your date and which one would land you in jailPart V Do you know ... Audioscript:Alex:Hello, Carole Is that youCarole:Alex! What on earth are you doing ... a stupid question, you're doing the same as I am.Alex:What are you laughing atCarole: Well, actually I'm just reading this article in Punch. It's the Franglais column. It's very funny. Alex:Oh, yes, yes, er ...Carole:I know this is only a spoof, but I think these adaptions of English into French or French intoEnglish can be very funny. How does it occuractuallyAlex:Oh, I suppose it came after the war, you know when the Americans were in France and a lot of Englishwords and expressions came into French. Er ...Carole:Oh, I see, yes, so ...Alex:But after that there was a strong reaction against it, I think.Carole:You mean people don't... aren't very keen on it.A sort of linguistic imperialism.Alex:Exactly, yes, er, take the ex ... example like "lift"you see. We've got no, no word in French for "lift". Carole:You mean "lift", the thing that goes up and down ... Alex:No, no. No, no, I mean, erm, would you like a lift home or something like that.Carole: Mm.Alex:Would you like a lift. What would you say in French You would say something like, er, can I take you homewith my carCarole:Oh, I see, so ...Alex:It's so much easier to say er, would you like a lift, you see.Carole:... I see, so in fact it's often for words that there's no equivalent for in...Alex:Yes, that... that's it, yes.Carole:... in French.Alex:Yes.Carole:Or something ... I suppose the same would apply to something like erm, "le weekend".Alex:Yes, yes. That goes a bit ... that goes back a bit.Yes, I suppose it was something er, before, evenbefore the first World War.Carole:Oh, that one's really old. Are there any more recent examplesAlex:Er, oh yes. "Speakerine" is a good example. Carole:SpeakerineAlex:Speakerine, yes.Carole:That doesn't even sound French. That sounds more German.Alex:Yes, it's a bit of a monster actually. You know, it means an announcer or a, a newsreader.Carole:Oh, I see, on the, on the box!Alex:Yes.Carole:And there are other things, aren't there, that are distortions like that. Erm ... oh, what's the oneI can, erm ... "le smoking" ...Alex:Ah, le smoking, yes.Carole:... which means, er, dinner jacket in English ... Alex:And we say smoking in French. It's very strange, in fact. But you've got another one, "the training",the training. And you ...Carole:What's thatAlex:Oh, it's like, it's like a pyjama in French. And you will say, I don't know, er...Carole:The pyjamaAlex:... children it's getting late, erm, put, put your training on and go to bed.Carole:How peculiar, because I mean, training means something quite different. Are there any otherreasons why we borrow, why the French borrow words,borrow English wordsAlex:Er, snob value, I suppose.Carole:Oh, really.Alex:Oh, yes. Er ...Carole:You mean English words are snobbish in French Alex:Yes. They would, they would take a word like "building" and think it's much better to live in abuilding than to be -- to live in a house. Carole:How strange, because building is such ... Alex:So we say building; we are living in the building. Carole:It's such a mundane word in English. I mean, it sounds just so ordinary.Alex:Yes, it is.Carole:But surely, I mean something like "le parking" which is very common, that, that can't have snob value,can itAlex:No, no, of course, I mean just the French is cumbersome.Carole: Mm. Receptionist: Mrs. Harding, could you go through now pleaseCarole:Oh dear! I've got to go.Alex:Bye, bye, Carole.Carole:I hope it's not too painful, Alex. Thanks, bye.Part VII Watch and enjoy Videoscript:-- Jove! Good heavens!-- Oh, sir. Is there any sign of it stopping-- I'm afraid not.

Conversation 1W: Wow! I would give anything to be more like Audrey Hepburn!M:(1)I never really understood why so many girls were such big fans of her. I mean I've seen the famous films, Rome Holiday, breakfast at Tiffany's, and a few others, but I still don't fully get it. Was she that great of an actressW: Well, for me, my adoration goes beyond her movies. She had such a classic elegance about her. She was always so poised, in part because she spent years training as a ballet dancer before becoming an actress.M: Why didn't she stick to dancing as a careerW: It seems it was fate. (2)She suffered from inadequate nutrition during the war, and therefore a career as a professional dancer would have been too demanding on her body. So she focused on acting instead. Roman Holiday was her first big break which made her a star.M: Was that the film that opened with her shopping for jewelry in New York city, you know, the scene she was wearing a black dress and dark sunglasses with a pearl necklace and long black gloves I see the photo of her in that costume everywhere. W: No, that one is Breakfast at Tiffany's. That costume is often referred to as the most famous little black dress of all time. (3)Her character in that film is very outgoing and charming, even though in real life Audrey always described herself as shy and quiet.M: So what did she do after her acting careerW: (4)She dedicated much of her life to helping children in need. Her family received international aid during the war when she was growing up. I think that left a big impression on her. That's where I got the idea to volunteer for children's charity next weekend.M: I'll join you. I may not be as charming as Audrey Hepburn, but I'm all for supporting a good cause.对话1Wow, I would give anything to be more like Audrey Hepburn.哇!如果我能变得更像奥黛丽·赫本那样的话,无论让我付出什么我都愿意。

小学生提高英语听力必看的动画电影:里约大冒险导语:想要学好一门功我们需要找到好的技巧,而不是死记硬背。
好的方法和技巧会让学到的知识更牢固,使用起来也比较灵活,下面###的小编整理了一些学习的技巧,请大家随时注重###更新的最新资讯。
影片讲述一只明尼苏达州小镇上的金刚鹦鹉,一直认为自己是世界上仅存的一只金刚鹦鹉。
一天他得知里约热内卢还有另外一只金刚鹦鹉,并且还是一只雌性金刚鹦鹉,他便决定离开家乡,前往巴西的里约热内卢。
冒险就这么开始了。
一只名为布鲁的蓝金刚鹦鹉从小就被偷猎者从巴西的热带雨林抓到了美国,机缘巧合下被一名善良的女孩琳达收留。
长期与鸟隔绝的生活使他养成了很多“宠物”特有的毛病,比如饶舌、不热爱大自然、盲目眷恋主人、只会讲文雅的笑话等等,并且让人严重鄙视的是,身为一只鸟,他居然连飞都不会。
更悲哀的是,布鲁以前盲目的认为:就算不会飞,他也是一只快乐的鸟。
布鲁一直认为自己是世界上仅存的一只金刚鹦鹉,直到有一天,一位叫胡里奥的鸟类学家找到并告诉他,在巴西的里约热内卢还有一只蓝金刚鹦鹉,并且还是一只雌性金刚鹦鹉,想要邀请布鲁前去繁殖后代。
于是,为了拯救蓝色金刚鹦鹉,布鲁、琳达和胡里奥一行来到了里约,一段充满异域风情的冒险之旅就这么开始了。
在此过程中,布鲁学会了重新理解这个世界,学会了像其他鸟儿一样在空中自由翱翔。
最重要的是,布鲁懂得了关爱他人,它与珠儿之间也所以产生了一条连接心与心的温暖的链条,一条再也无法挣脱也无需挣脱的爱情的链条。
《里约大冒险》为我们奉献了一场无与伦比的视听盛宴。

最新-高中英语 游里约热内卢(A trip to Rio De Janeiro)作文素材 精品
游里约热内卢(A trip to Rio De Janeiro)I love travelling. When I was young, my parents always took me to other places to visit, such as Beijing, Zhuhai and Guilin. But as I grow up, there’s such a heavy study-pressure that I can hardly afford time and energy to travel. Fortunately, I can “travel” to a lot of far-away attractions in the fantastic world of books and TV. Recently I have learnt about Rio De Janeiro from books. I feel excited and want very much to travel there.Rio De Janeiro lies along the coast of Atlantic Ocean. It’s Brazil’s second largest city. Firstly, I love the climate in Rio De Janeiro. Sea climate is comfortable and it never gets too dry or too wet. Secondly, I love the beautiful beaches. I always form a picture in my mind of being at the seaside. I imagine myself walking on the beach. The sunshine is mild in the late afternoon and I feel the soft wind moving across my face. I can see the sun moving slowly below the sea level, just like a hot, red ball falling into the water. Some seagulls are flying above the sea and others rest themselves on ship-boards. I take off my shoes. Soft sand flows through my toes. Little waves sometimes run towards me and wet my trousers, just like naughty children. I enjoy this feast for both my body and spirit. Now I know that the beauty of nature is the greatest beauty in the world.Alone, I’m just walking, walking and walking……。

《现代⼤学英语听⼒2》听⼒原⽂及题⽬答案Unit12Unit 12Task 1【答案】A.1) Olmsted wanted the park to be a rural paradise within an urban area, a place for all —“rich and poor, young and old".2) East Side Central Park was opened in 1876.3) Because this part of Fifth Avenue has many museums, which used to be mansions built soon after the opening of East Side Central Park by wealthy New Yorkers.4) Central Park West is the street on the western side of the park. It has large and unusual apartment buildings.5) People laughed because they believed that nobody with money would live in an apartment house, especially when it was so far from the center of town. (It was just like the Dakotas, which are located in the western part of the United States.)B.1) in the middle of; in the 1850s; landscape architect2) explore; renting a bicycle; gardens; a zoo; a skating rink; old-fashioned; a lake; an outdoor theater3) The Metropolitan Museum of Art4) famous residents【原⽂】The value of land in Manhattan has turned the island into a sea of concrete. Fortunately for New York's residents, there is one major exception: Central Park.This huge park in the middle of the city was designed in the 1850s by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. Olmsted wanted the park to be a rural paradise within an urban area, a place for all —“rich and poor, young and old". Central Park is still much as he intended.You can take a horse and buggy ride through Central Park. You can explore the park even better by renting a bicycle. Attractions in the park include gardens, a zoo, a skating rink, an old-fashioned carousel, a lake where you can row, and an outdoor theater, where events are held each summer.East Side Central Park was opened in 1876. Wealthy New Yorkers soon built mansions along Fifth Avenue, on the park's east side. The Vanderbilts, a large family, at one point had eleven mansions on Fifth Avenue!The mansions that remain now hold art collections. For example, there's the Frick Collection in what was once the home of millionaire Henry Clay Frick. The Frick is a delightful museum to wander through since it's set up, not like a museum, but as it was when the Fricks lived there.This part of Fifth Avenue along Central Park has so many museums that it's called "Museum Mile". The Metropolitan Museum of Art, with huge collections of art from around the world, may be the most important museum in the United States.The street on the western side of the park, Central Park West, has large and unusual apartment buildings. When the first one was being built, people laughed. They said nobody with money would live in an apartment house, especially when it was so far from the center of townthat it might as well be in the Dakotas. The builder had the last laugh; he named his building the Dakota, and when it opened, every apartment was occupied.The Dakota has had many famous residents, including actress Lauren Bacail and conductor/ composer Leonard Bernstein. But, above all, the building makes people think of John Lennon, who lived there and was killed right outside on December8th, 1980.Task 21) twelve miles; several hundred; eight hundred thousand2) over a thousand3) far; grander; biggerB.1) F2) T3) T【原⽂】Constantinople and the Medieval SocietyIn the ninth and tenth centuries Constantinople was one of the biggest, richest and most sophisticated cities in the world. The city was surrounded by about twelve miles of walls, and inside were several hundred churches and chapels and about eight hundred thousand inhabitants. The river and harbor were crowded with sailing ships from all over the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. Above it all was the dome of Sancta Sophia. At night, lit by over a thousand lamps hanging from its dome and arches, the whole building glowed.Paris and the Leisure SocietyThe crowds of fashionable people going around in coaches or walking in the Tuileries gardens were a new development in the European city. They formed what was called "society": a group of people who did things together, entertained each other and behaved in a certain way. Society became an extremely important element in cities: theatres, opera houses, pleasure gardens, racecourses, cof-fee houses, shops, entire neighbourhoods and finally entire towns grew up as a result of it.Manchester and the Industrial SocietyOut of the Industrial Revolution grew Manchester and other industrial cities. For a newcomer the first view of Manchester and its smoking chimneys must have been as amazing as the first view of Constantinople in the tenth century. In Manchester factory chimneys far outnumbered church towers, and warehouses were grander and bigger than the town hall.Task 3【答案】【原⽂】Well, I love Greece and I'd really love to go back to Greece. It's so nice, and so warm, and the people are lovely, and I love swimming.Nepal. I like the purity of soul of the people there. They're the nicest, most direct, most unneurotic people that I've ever met anywhere in the world.Gee, I don't know, I mean I like Turkey. I liked Austria, but I wasn't there long enough to really enjoy it. Switzerland, Switzerland, Switzerland was it. Yeah, I was hiking in Switzerland. Switzerland was grand.Cyprus. The food was wonderful. The people were wonderful. The sun was wonderful, and the sea was wonderful. Cyprus is a lovely placa.It has to be Brazil. I was lucky enough to go there a couple of years ago. The thing that impressed me most of all were the people and how friendly they were.Task 41) The majority of Australians are of English, Irish, Italian, Greek, Dutch, and Polish descent. Over the past 50 years, a large number of Asian and African immigrants have poured in. Besides, about one percent of the population is Aborigine.2) Because much of the land in Australia, particularly in the Outback, is so arid that people are unable to live there.B.1) T2) TC.1) Make friends with; Explore; Marvel at; be awed by2) vast; amazing; peaceful; unique3) relax on our beautiful beaches; thousands of years ago; meet interesting people【原⽂】Is Australia the world's largest island or its smallest continent? Actually, it's both. In fact, Australia is the only country that is also a continent. Although roughly the size of the United States mainland, Australia has a population of about 16.5 million people. That makes this island nation one of the least densely populated countries.What ethnic groups make up the Australian population? The majority of Australians are of English, Irish, Italian, Greek, Dutch, and Polish descent. However, over the past 50 years, some 4 million people from more than 120 countries have made Australia their home. This includes a large number of Asian and African immigrants. About 1 percent of the population is Aborigine. The Aboriginal people were the first settlers in Australia. They came from Asia about 40,000 years ago.In addition to being the smallest continent, Australia is also the driest inhabited continent, Lush green pastures may be typical in sheep farming areas (there are, by the way, more sheep thanpeople in Australia). However, much of the land, particularly in the Outback, is so arid that people are unable to live there. That explains why most Australians live in metropolitan areas, many of which line the coast, and why Australia is considered one of the world's more urbanized countries.Make friends with a koala at one of our wildlife parks. Explore the lush, green bush land areas of the Blue Mountains. Marvel at the coral of our magnificent Great Barrier Reef. Or be awed by our ancient landscapes and strange land formations. Whatever your interests are, Australia has what you're looking for.Lining our coast are some of the world's most sophisticated cities like Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney. There you can enjoy all the best in food, fashion, the arts, theater, and sports. But you won't want to miss the wonders of the vast and amazing Outback or the peaceful beauty of the bush. Australia has a variety of unique trees, plants, and wildlife. Discover them at any of our magnificent wildlife reserves and parks.No matter where you go in Australia, you'll find something to delight you. So surf or ski, relax on our beautiful beaches, see Aboriginal rock art painted thousands of years ago, and meet interesting people. Don't wait. It's always a good time to visit Australia.Task 5【答案】B.1) Columbus thought he had arrived in the Indies (the name then used for Asia) when he arrived in the Bahamas.2) It was named after another Italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci, who was a friend of Columbus's and who later explored the coastline of the New World.C. TFor many years, people believed that the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus discovered America. But, in fact, others had reached America before him. Thousands of years ago, Asians crossed the Bering Strait to Alaska and then moved through North America and on to South America. Others have claimed that travelers from Europe and China also visited America. According to some people, sailors from China crossed the Pacific to Mexico in A.D. 459. Irish explorers also may have visited America in the ninth and tenth centuries. Irish people reached Iceland in the ninth century before the Norsemen, who came from Scandinavia. They may have sailed from Iceland to America after the Norsemen arrived.The Norsemen themselves may also have visited America. They were used to sailing longdistances in their ships. Some Norse stories tell of a Norseman called Bjarni Herjolfsson who visited America in A.D. 986. Another Norseman named Leif Ericsson probably lived for a time in Newfoundland in Canada but then returned to Greenland. However, the first Western explorer we can be sure about was Christopher Columbus. He left Spain on August 3rd, 1492, and on October 12th, he arrived in the Bahamas. Columbus thought he had arrived in the Indies (the name then used for Asia). That is why he called the people Indians. He spent many weeks sailing around the Caribbean and then went back to Spain. He made several more voyages to the New World, though he never actually landed in North America.So, who was America named after? It was named after another Italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci, who was a friend of Columbus's and who later explored the coastline of the New World.Task 6【答案】A.1) a few hundred metres off the coast of2) 64,000; 8,000B.1) Because the population of Skye is getting smaller. Its young people are being tempted by mainland life and the chance of better jobs and better pay.2) His plan is to build a bridge linking Skye with the mainland. He thinks this will bring new work to the island, and stop people from going away from their homes.3) Because they think that the bridge will bring in too many tourists and take away the island's independence and character.C. c【原⽂】The island of Skye is one of the most romantic places in the British Isles, but it is suffering a crisis and a local businessman has got an idea to save it. The island of Skye stands just a few hundred metres off the coast of Western Scotland and it is one of the most beautiful parts of the British Isles. In the summer it is bathed in sunshine, and in the winter it is covered in mists. There is mystery in its hills and valleys, and a strange, almost dream like beauty.Like so many other rural communities, however, Skye is in danger. The population is getting smaller. A hundred years ago there were 64,000 inhabitants on the island; now there are only 8,000. Skye's young people are being tempted by mainland life and the chance of better jobs and better pay."If you come back in twenty years," says Skye businessman Colin Stuart, "there'll be nobody here." That is why he is trying to get support for a new scheme — a bridge linking Skye with the mainland. He thinks this will bring new work to the island, and stop people from “going over the water" and away from their homes.But Colin Stuart's scheme has not been popular with many of the islanders. "They have not been persuaded yet," says Stuart. "They think that the bridge will bring in too many tourists and take away the island's independence and character. I tell them that unless we bring new business to Skye there will be nobody here to enjoy our independence." Colin Stuart has been to Norway and seen how islands there are joined by sea bridges; and that's what he wants to do in Skye. "If enough money can be raised by interested people, the decline of Skye can be stopped." Only time will tell if Colin Stuart's idea will be accepted.Task 71) parks; museums and shops; in the centre of; further out2) 4503) in the 16th century; in 1835London is famous for its parks, as well as its museums and shops. These parks are both in the centre of the city and further out. It is the central parks which are the most famous.St. James's Park was first opened 450 years ago. It is very close to Buckingham Palace, and to the government offices in Whitehall. Unlike Green Park, which is also very close to the Palace, St. James's Park is very attractive, with a long, narrow lake, which is occupied by ducks and other water birds. Green Park, on the other hand, is very bare. There is a story it was once used by a leper colony, and since then no flowers and plants have grown.Hundreds of years ago, deer, bears and wild bulls were kept in Hyde Park, and for centuries the Kings and Queens of England went there to hunt. Now it's famous for the Serpentine — the lake, and for Speaker's Comer, where people can, and do, say anything about almost every subject under the sun. Now there are still deer in one of London's parks--Richmond Park in the southwest of London.Kensington Gardens is next to Hyde Park, and it is very popular with both the old and the young. On warmer days there are always people at the Round Pond, where they come to sail their model boats.The last of the large central parks is Regent's Park. This was used by Henry VIII in the 16th century as a hunting park, but it was first opened as Regent's Park in 1835. Today, the park is famous for its lake and its flowers, as well as for London Zoo, which is in the northeast comer.There is also an open-air theatre, where the public can see many of Shakespeare's plays in the summer months.Task 8【答案】A.1) They are in the desert in southern Peru near the Nazca city2) The lines were discovered in the early 1930s.3) Because the forms were so big, they were difficult to see from the ground, only visible from theair. They were not discovered until aircraft flew over this region.B.37 miles long; 1 mile wide; straight lines; parallel; strange symbols; on a giant scale; 200 B.C.; 600 A.D.【原⽂】In the southern desert of Peru, about 200 miles south of Lima, there lies a plain near the Nazca city. Across this plain, in an area measuring 37 miles long and 1 mile wide, is an assortment of perfectly straight lines, many running parallel, others intersecting, forming a grand geometric form. In and around the lines there are also strange symbols, and pictures of birds and beasts all etched on a giant scale that can only be appreciated from the sky. They are called the Nazca Lines, made some-time between 200 B.C. and 600 A.D.The forms are so difficult to see from the ground that they were not discovered until aircraft, being used to survey for water, spotted them in the early 1930s.The Nazca Lines are an enigma. No one knows who had built them or indeed why. Since their discovery, the Nazca Lines have inspired fantastic explanations from ancient gods, a landing strip for returning aliens, a celestial calendar, used for rituals probably related to astronomy, to a map of underground water supplies. These lines still remain a mystery to this day. Task 91) It erupted on August 24th, 79 A.D.2) 2,0003) In Pompeii, there are lots of shops for clothes and shoes, and all kinds of food. The city is also full of workshops. People make many things like tables, chairs and pots. There are hotels, restaurants and bars for all the summer visitors. There are theaters too.B.1) F2) T3) F【原⽂】In the year 79 A.D. the volcano V esuvius erupted. A Roman writer, Pliny, was near Vesuvius at the time. Many years later he wrote a letter to a friend about it."... My mother and I were at my uncle's house in Misenum. On August 24th, after lunch, my mother said to my uncle, 'Look at that cloud! Look at the shape!' It came from one of the mountains. It was like a giant umbrella, white in some places, black in others. My uncle was very interested in the cloud. He wanted to take a boat and go close to the mountain. He invited me, but I said no. I wanted to study. Then a message came from one of his friends whose house was at the foot of Vesuvius. She wanted to leave, but she hadn't got a boat, so my uncle immediately went to her. But the sea near V esuvius was full of stones from the volcano. My uncle spent the night at Stabiae, south of Pompeii. The next morning, suddenly, he died by the sea. I was 17 at the time..."Most people left Pompeii on that day. But 2,000 didn't — and they all died. Between 3 and 5 meters of stone and ash fell on the city. It was dark for two days: Then the sun came back, but no one could see Pompeii.1,700 years later people found the ancient city of Pompeii. So now you can visit Pompeii and see a city from the past. It's not very different from our cities today. There were lots of shops for clothes and shoes, and all kinds of food. The city was also full of workshops. People made many things like tables, chairs and pots. There were hotels, restaurants and bars for all the summer visitors. There were theaters too. Life was good in ancient Pompeii — before August 24th 79!Task 10【答案】How did New York become America’s largest city; geography; history; economics1) northeast; heavily; seaports2) raw materials; finished goods3) 1815; the ports; the central regions of the country4) the best solution; 18255) were cut to about one-tenth of what they had been; the leading city of the coast6) the railroads; tied; even more closely7) Exports; imports; were eager to; as a result; receiving people from European countries; homes; goods; services; labor【原⽂】In the 18th century New York was smaller than Philadelphia and Boston. Today it is the largest city in America. How can the change in its size and importance be explained?To answer this question we must consider certain facts about geography, history, and economics. Together these three willexplain the huge growth of America's most famous city.The map of the Northeast shows that four of the most heavily populated areas in this region are around seaports. At these points materials from across the sea enter the United States, and the product of the land are sent there for export across the sea.Economists know that places where transportation lines meet are good places for making raw materials into finished goods. That is why seaports often have cities nearby. But cities like New York needed more than their geographical location in order to become great industrial centers. Their development did not happen simply by chance.About 1815, when many Americans from the east coast had already moved toward the west, trade routes from the ports to the central regions of the country began to be a serious problem.The slow wagons of that time,drawn by horses or oxen, were too expensive for moving heavy freight very far. Americans had long admired Europe's canals. In New York State a canal seemed the best solution to the transportation problem. From the eastern end of Lake Erie all the way across the state to the Hudson River there is a long strip of low land. Here the Erie Canal was constructed. After several years of work it was completed in 1825.The canal produced an immediate effect. Freight costs were cut to about one-tenth of what they had been. New York City, which had been smaller than Philadelphia and Boston, quicklybecame the leading city of the coast. In the years that followed, transportation routes on the Great Lakes were joined to routes on the Mississippi River. Then New York City became the end point of a great inland shipping system that extended from the Atlantic Ocean far up the western branches of the Mississippi.The coming of the railroads made canal shipping less important,but it tied New York even more closely to the central regions of the country. It was easier for people in the central states to ship their goods to New York for export overseas.Exports from New York were greater than imports. Consequently, shipping companies were eager to fill their ships with passengers on the return trip from Europe. Passengers could come from Europe very cheaply as a result.Thus New York became the greatest port for receiving people from European countries. Many of these people remained in the city. Others stayed in New York for a few weeks, months, or years, and then moved to other parts of the United States. For these great number of new Americans New York had to provide homes, goods, and services. Their labor helped the city be come great.Task 11【原⽂】London is one of the biggest cities in the world. It has a population of over 8 million. Some people like it very much because there is a lot to do there and it is very interesting. There are hundreds of cinemas, theatres, museums and restaurants there. But other people don't like it because there is so much traffic and noise everywhere.Brighton is a medium-sized town with a population of around 300,000. It is on the coast, about 50 miles from London. Of course it isn't as interesting as London, but the air is a lot cleaner and better. There are a few factories, but not many. It isn't very easy to find a good job there. But there are a lot of hotels and language schools in the town, and in the summer the town is full of tourists.。

2019年6月四级第二套听力
2019年6月四级第二套听力2019年6月四级第二套听力内容如下:France is facing potentially more than one billion dollars in lost revenue this year, due to huge declines in tourism. Safety concerns have been one of the biggest reasons why the country has lost over half a billion in revenue already in the first six months of 2016. The terror attacks in Paris last November, we were called Europe's worst in the past decade, besides violence, workers strikes and heavy floods are said to have also been why international tourists have stayed away. So far in the Paris region, there's been a forty-six percent decline in Japanese visitors, thirty-five percent fewer Russians and twenty-seven percent fewer Italians. American travelers seemed the least affected, Their numbers have only dropped by roughly five percent.

英语听力练习:浪漫之滨里约热内卢
In Rio de Janeiro Brazil, where the mountains meet the beach, with six million residents and more than a million tourists a year, a cleanup of the beaches from past years is now a major issue. Until recently, the beach was a place for Cariocas, as Rio residents are known, to escape their worries, and not to brood on new ones. But the issue of protecting Rio’s world-class coastline hastrickled into the public consciousness.
Coastal planning was never a very popular subject here in Brazil, despite the fact that we have more than five thousand miles of sand beaches in our country. But people in general, they didn't know. But in the last 20 years, there is a
growing consciousness about the subject. And lately people
are much more concerned about the problems along the coastline.
That burgeoning public awareness was fueled by a series
of coastal calamities, including the dumping and leaking of raw sewage, the appearance of ugly parasitic sea formation known as black tongues, oil spills and fish die-offs. As a result, celebrated beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema suffer sporadic closings.
The government is improving the sewers and they are conscious about the importance of this kind of environmental issue. Nowadays, the population won't accept any more dirty beaches andlagoons.
Heavy public investment to the tune of about 15 million dollars has been spent to improve the water that ends up on these beaches. For the moment then, the glorious beaches of
Rio de Janeiro are getting more of the attention they deserve from public officials. But moreremains to be done. In the meantime, they will likely continue to get plenty of
attention from armies of beach-lovers, Cariocas and tourists alike.。
