What about?A: One of the press operators arrived an hour and a half late.B: But that's a straightforward affair. He will simply lose part of his pay.

历年英语四级听力真题及答案

2012年6月英语四级Students have been complaining more and more about stolen property.Radios, cell phones, bicycles, pocket (36)calculators, and books have all been reported stolen. Are there enough campus police to do the job? There are 20 officers in the campus security division. Their job is to (37)handle crime, accidents, lost and found (38)items, and traffic problems on campus. More than half of their time is spent directing traffic and writing parking tickets. (39)Responding promptly to accidents and other (40)emergencies is important, but it is their smallest job. Dealing with crime takes up the rest of their time. Very (41)rarely did any violent crimes actually (42)occur.In the last five years there have been no (43)murders, seven robberies, and about sixty other violent attacks, most of these involving fights at parties. On the other hand, (44)there have been hundreds of thefts and cases of deliberate damaging of public property, which usually involves breaking windows or lights, or writing on walls. The thefts are not the carefully planned burglaries that you see in movies.(45)Things get stolen when it is just easy to steal them because they are left lying around unwatched. Do we really need more police?Hiring more campus police would cost money, possibly making our tuition go up again.(46) A better way to solve this problem might be for all of us to be more careful with our things.2011年12月Our lives are woven together.

(42) Evidence of interdependence is everywhere; we are on this (43) journey together.(44) As I was growing up, I remember being carefully taught that independence not interdependence was everything. “Make your own way”,“Stand on your own two feet” or my mother’s favorite remark when I was face-to-face with consequences of some action:“Now that you’ve made your bed, lie on it！” Total independence is a dominant thing in our culture. I imagine that (45) what my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibilities for my actions and my choices. But the teaching was shaped by our cultural imagines. And instead, I grew up believing that I was supposed to be totally independent and consequently became very reluctant to ask for help.(46) I would do almost anything not to be a burden, and not require any help from anybody.2011年6月大学英语四级听Contrary to the old warning that time waits for no one, time slows down when you are on the move. It also slows down more as you move faster, which means astronauts(宇航员)__________ someday may (36)__________ so long in space that they would return to an Earth of the (37)__________ future.

After you hear a question,you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneI first met Joe Gumps when we were both 9 years old, which is probablythe only reason he is one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high school, we wouldn’t even have had thechance to get to know each other. Joe is a day student, but I ama boarding st udent. We haven’t been in the same classes, sportsor extra curriculum activities. Nonetheless, I spend nearly every weekend at his house, and we talk on the phone every night. This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know eachother, due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests.In fact, to be honest, I struggle even now to think of things we have in common, but maybe that’s what makes us enjoy each other’s company so much. When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I’ve known whom I never disliked but simply didn’t take the time to get to know. Thanks to Joe, I have realized how little basis there is, for the social divisions that exist in every community. Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places. Questions:26. Why does the speaker say Joe Gumps become one of his best friends26. A)They shared mutual friends in school.B)They had known each other since childhood.C)They shared many extracurricular activities.D)They had many interests in common.27. Where does the speaker spend most of his weekends27. A)At a local club. B)At the sports center.B)At Joe's house. D)At the bearing school.28. What has the speaker learned from his friendship with Joe28. A)Durable friendships can be very difficult to maintain.B)One has to be respectful of other people in order to win respect.C)It is hard for people from different backgrounds to become friends.D)Social divisions will break down if people get to know each other.Passage 2It was a bad night for Louis. His research in the neighboringtown had taken longer than he expected. It was late and he was very tired when he drove home. He turned into his building’s parking lot, but all the spaces were full. He drove back out onto the street looking for a parking space. The first block was full. The next block was almost empty. L ouis didn’t see a no-parking sign, but he suspected that if parking were allowed there, most of the spaces would be filled. Then he saw a small parking lot with two free spaces. Hewas so glad to see them that he didn’t even think to read the sign by the entrance. He drove in, parked, and hurried home to go to bed. The next morning he went back to the lot to get his car. It was gone. He ran home and telephoned the city police to say that his car had been stolen. It took the police only a minute to tell him what had happened. His car had been on a private lot.

But we don't really understand what it is. We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative, but we don't know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural gift like good looks Or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully, we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives. The creative process has always been accepted as a source of all important work in the arts. But we should not think the creativity play the role only in the arts. Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it. And this is what the creativity is all about. Imagining the world in a new way, and despite what you maybelieve about the limits of your own creative imaginations, we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolute new way. In fact, you were born with it. It is your birth right as a human being. And what's more, you use it every day almost every moment of your life. Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences. It's your creative mind to get the meaning from the chaos of your experiences and brings order to your world. 32: What did the speaker most probably discuss last time32. A)Famous creative individuals. C)A major scientific discovery.B)The mysteriousness of creativity. D)Creativity as shown in arts.33: What is a widely accepted idea about the creative process 33. A)It is something people all engage in. C) It starts soon after we are born.B) It helps people acquire knowledge. D) It is the source of all artistic work.34: What leads to major scientific discoveries according to the speaker34. A) Creative imagination. C) Natural curiosity.B) Logical reasoning. D) Critical thinking.35: What does the speaker imply about the creative process35. A)It is beyond ordinary people. C)It is part of everyday life.B)It is yet to be fully understood. D)It is a unique human trait.Students have been complaining more and more about stolen property. Radios, cell phones, bicycles, pocket （calculators ）and books have all been reported stolen. Are there enough campus police to do the job There are 20 officers in the campus security division. Their job is to（handle） crime, accidents, lost and found （items）, and traffic problems on campus. More than half of their time is spent directing traffic and writing parking tickets. Responding promptly to accidents and other （emergencies） is important, but it is their smallest job. Dealing with crime takes up the rest of their time. Very （rarely）did any violent crimes actually （occur）.In the last five years there have been no （murders）, seven robberies, and about sixty other violent attacks, most of these involving fights at parties. On the other hand, （there have been hundredsof thefts and cases of deliberate damaging of public property）, which usually involves breaking windows or lights, orwriting on walls. The thefts are not the carefully planned burglaries that you see in movies. （Things get stolen when it is just easy to steal them because they are left lying around unwatched.） Do we really need more policeHiring more campus police would cost money, possibly making our tuition go up again. （A better way to solve this problem might be for all of us to be more careful with our things.）短对话：15.

英语四级听力真题及参考答案

2015年12月英语四级听力真题及参考答案Employers have the right to monitor their workers ' online private messages, according to a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). It comes after a Romanian man was fired for sending personal messages while at work. The Strasbourg court sided on Tuesday with the employer of a Romanian engineer who was dismissed from his job after using Yahoo Messenger to communicate with hisfianc e e while at work.During his time as an engineer, Bogdan Barbulescu was asked by his employer to create a Yahoo Messenger account to answer his clients ' queries. However, he was informed in July that he had breached company rules by using the program for personal reasons, and was subsequently sacked. Barbulescu took his case against Romania to the human rights court later, alleging that his employer's decision to [01:]end his contract was based on a violation of his right to confidential correspondence.1. What is legal for employers according to the ECHR?2. What can we learn about Bogdan Barbulescu?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.At the Sifa Primary School outside Nairobi, Kenya, students pay theirtuition with a new, local currency called the pesa. The school is one of several institutions that accept the community currency. The currency is widely used by peoplein the Gatina Village. The pesas are equal in value to the Kenyan shilling and can be spent in the community just like cash. The new currency gives poor people more buying power than they would otherwise have. If members of the community have a shortage of the national currency, they can use the community currency to get access to the goods and services they may need. The non-profit group Grassroots Economics introduced the currency here last year. Community currency programs are being set up by non-profit organizations across the world. They help poor communities increase trade and create jobs, according to Grassroots Economics, based in Mombasa, Kenya. It does not replace but rather supplements the national currency system, reported the non-profit group.3. What is the advantage of the pesa?4. What can we learn about the Grassroots Economics?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.Health officials in Brazil have declared a state of emergency in several states. They are also warning women not to get pregnant. These extreme actions are the result of a recent rise in birth defects. About 2 400 babies in Brazil were born recently with extremely small heads. The babies have a condition called microcephaly. Microcephaly causes severe brain damage. Todate, 29 of these babies have died. The number of microcephaly cases in Brazil is about 10 times higher than what the country usually sees in a year.The US Centers for Disease Control says the link between a virus infectionand microcephaly is being investigated. The virus is called Zika.Zika is spread by mosquitos. Some babies in Brazil with microcephaly have tested positive for the Zika virus while others have tested negative. [05:]The CDC says that Brazil reported its first case of Zika virus in May 2015. Since then, the virus has spread and has caused infections in many Brazilian states and other countries in Latin America.5. What situation is Brazil facing?6. How many deaths have been reported so far?7. What is related to the situation according to the CDC?Section BDirections: In this section,Conversation OneW: Hi Leo, why do you say English would become the world language?M: Well. For one thing, it 's so commonly used. The only languagethat is used by more people is Chinese.W: Why is English spoken by so many people?M: It 's spoken in many countries of the world because of the British Empire. And now of course, there is the influence of America as well.W: Many students find English a difficult language to learn.M: Oh, all languages are difficult to learn. But English does have two great advantages.W: What are they?M: Well, first of all, it has a very international vocabulary.It has many German, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian words init. So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English. In fact, English has words from many other languages as well.W: Why is that?M: Well, partly because English speakers have travelled a lot.They bring back words with them, so English really does have an international vocabulary.W: And what is the other advantage of English?M: It 's that English grammar is really quite easy. For example,it doesn't have dozens of different endings forits nouns,adjectives and verbs, not like Latin, Russian and German for example.W: Why is that?M: Well, it 's quite interesting actually. It 's because of the French. When the French ruled England, French was the official language, and only the common people spoke English. They tried to make their language as simple as possible. So they made the grammar easier.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversationyou have justheard.8. What does the man say about Chinese?9. What made English a widely used language?10.

In fact, they have been in use for centuries. 25 centuries ago, kites were well-known in China. These first kites were probably made ofwood. They may even have been covered with silk, because silk were used a lot at that time. Early kites were built for certain uses. In ancient China, they will use to carry ropes to cross rivers. Once across, the ropes were tear down and wooden bridges would hang for them. Legend tells of one General who flew musical kites over the enemies ' camp. The enemy fled,believing the sounds to be the warming voices of angels. By the 15th century, many people flew kites in Europe. Marco Polo may have brought the kite back from his visit to China. The kite has been linked to great names and events. For instance, Benjamin Franklin used kite to prove the lightening electricity. He flew the kite in the storm. He did this in order to draw lightening from the clouds. He tied a metal key and a strip of silk to the kite line. The silk ribbon would stop the lightening from passing through his body. Benjamin ' sidea was first laughed at. But later on, it enlightened the invention of the lightening rod. With such grand history, kite flying is short remain an entertaining and popular sport.Question 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 16: What does the speaker say about kite?Question 17: What did ancient Chinese use cats to do?Question 18: Why did BF flied a kite in the storm?短文2I have learnt many languages, but I ' m not mastered themthe way the professional interpreter or translator has. Still, they have open doors for me. They have allowed me the opportunity to seek jobs in international contexts and help me get those jobs. Like many people who have lived overseas for a while simply got crazy about it. I can 't image living my professional or social life without international interactions. Since 1977, I have spent much more time abroad than in the United States. I like going to new places, eating new foods and experiencing new cultures. If you can speak the language, it 's easier to get to know the country and its people. If I had the time and money. I would live for a year in as many countries as possible. Beyond my career, my facility with languages has given me a few rare opportunities. Once, just after I returned my year in Vienna. I was asked to translate for a German judge at Olympic level horse event and learned a lot about the sport.In Japan, once when I was in the studio audience of a TV cooking show, I was asked to go up on the stage and taste the beef dish that was being prepared and tell what I thought. They asked “ Was it as good as American beef? ” It was very excitingfor me to be on Japanese TV, speaking in Japanese about how delicious the beef was.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you 've justheard.Question 19 What does the speaker say about herself?Question 20 What does the speaker say about many people who have lived overseas for a while?Question 21 How did the speaker experience of living in Vienna benefit her?Question 22 What was the speaker asked to do in the Japanese studio?短文3Dr. Ben Carsen grew up in a poor single parent house-hold in Detroit.

According to his own not so fond memories.He had a terrible temper, and once threatened to kill another child. Dr. Carsen was headed down part of selfdistraction until a critical moment in his youth.

And had to read two books a week, and write book reports about them. His mother 's strategy worked. “Of course didn 't know she couldn 't read. So there I was submitting these reports. ”he said. She would put check marks on them like she had been reading them. As I began to read about scientists ，economistsand philosophers. I started imaging myself in their shoes. As he got into the hobbit of hard work, his grade began to soar.Ultimately he received a scholarship to attending Yale University, and later he was admitted to the University of Michigan Medical School.He is now a leading surgeon at Johns Hopkins Medical School and he is also the author of the three books.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you just heard.ve Q23 What do we learn about Ben Carsen?Q24 What did Ben Carsen 's classmates and teachers think of him when he was first at school?Q25 What did Ben Carsen 's mother tell him to do when he was a school boy?Part 4 听写题When you look up at the night sky, what do you see? There are other heavenly bodies out there besides the moon and stars. One of the most fascinating of this is a comet. Comets were formed around the same the earth was formed. They are made up of ice and other frozen liquids and gasses. Now and then these dirty snow balls begin to orbit the sun just as the planets do. As a comet gets closer to the sun. Some gasses in it begin to unfreeze. They combine with dust particles from the comet to form a huge cloud. As the comet gets even nearer to the sun and solar wind blows the cloud behind the comet thus forming its tail. The tail and generally fuzzy atmosphere around the comet are characteristics that can help identify this phenomenon inthe night sky. In any given year, about dozen known comets come close to the sun in their orbits. The average person can 't seethem all of course. Usually there is only one or two a year bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Comet Hale-Bopp discovered in 1995 was an unusually bright comet. Its orbit bought relatively to the earth within 122 million miles of it.But Hale- Bopp came a long way on its earthly visit. It won 'tbe back for another 4 thousand years or so.参考答案1. B.
