Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached an intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about student who want to learn specialist English for their work or professional life? Most students, who fit into this third group have a clear idea about what they want to learn. A bank clerk, for example, wants to use this specialist vocabulary and technical terms of finance. But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialist English is not always so easy. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field from airline pilots to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of that specialist language, andnot many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way specialist English is taught in schools. This type of course is usually known as English for Specific Purposes, or ESP and there isn't ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters travel agents and people working in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular ESP courses are for business English.Questions 11 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What is the characteristic of learners of special English?12. Who needs ESP courses most?13. What are the most popular ESP courses in Britain?14. What is the speaker mainly talking about?KEY: D A B CPassage 2:The first step to stop drug abuse is knowing why people start to use drugs. The reasons people abuse drugs are as different as people are from one to another. But there seems to be one common thread: people seem to take drugs to change the way they feel. They want to feel better or feel happy or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about themselves when they are under the influence of drugs. But the effects don't last long. Drugs don't solve problems. They just postpone them. No matter how far drugs may take you, it's alwaysaround trip. After a while, people who miss drugs may feel worse about themselves, and then they may use more drugs. If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help. Themost important part you can play is to be there. You can let your friends know that you care. You can listen and try to solve the problem behind your friend's need to use drugs. Two people together can often solve a problem that seems too big for one person alone. Studies of heavy abusers in the United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted. They didn't have close friends to talk to. When you or your friends take the time to care for each other, you're all helping to stop drugs abuse. After all, what is a friend for?Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.15. Why do some people abuse drugs?16. According to the passage, what is the best way to stop friends from abusing drugs?17. What are the findings of the studies about heavy drug users?KEY: B A APassage 3：Bows and arrows, are one of man's oldest weapons. They gave early man an effective weapon to kill his enemies. The ordinary bow or short bow was used by early all early people. This bow bad limited power and short range. However, man overcame these faults by learning to track his targets at a close range. The long bow was most likely discovered when someone found out that a five-foot piece of wood made a better bow than a three-foot piece. Hundreds of thousands of these bows were made and used for three hundred years. However, not one is known to survive today. We believe that a force of about one hundred pounds was needs to pull the string all the way back on a long bow. For a long time the bow was just a bent stick andstring. In fact, more changes have taken place in a bow in the past 25 years than in the last 7 centuries. Today, bow is forceful. It is as exact as a gun. In addition, it requires little strength to draw the string. Modern bows also have precise aiming devices. In indoor contests, perfect scores from 40 yard are common. The invention of the bows itself ranks with discovery of fire and the wheel. It was a great-step-forward for man. Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.18.

2024年6月大学英语四级考试听力原文(第1套)
2024年6月大学英语四级考试听力原文（第1套）News Report OneSix people had to move away from their home to another place after a fire broke out in a building on Main Street Saturday, officials said.Firefighters responded to the three-story building shortly after 1 p.m. for a reported structure fire, according to Norwalk Deputy Fire Chief Adam Markowitz.Markowitz said crews encountered heavy smoke coming from the second floor when they arrived.A team of about 25 firefighters then spent about 25 minutes extinguishing the flames.Officials described the structure as a mixed-use building that features commercial businesses on the first floor and residential on the second and third floors.Town records list four apartments in the building.Due to smoke and heat damage, the four apartments were declared uninhabitable, and the six residents had to move to another place, officials said.No injuries were reported in connection with the fire.The Norwalk Fire Marshal is investigating the cause and origin of the fire.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 1. Why did the six residents have to find another place to stay?Question 2. What does the news report say the Norwalk Fire Marshal is doing?News Report TwoA new study has cast doubt on historic research suggesting that the season or month of someone's birth is associated with an increased risk of certain mental health conditions.The study looks at symptoms of anxiety and depression among more than 70,000 older adults in Europe.A number of past studies have found the link between season of birth and mental health diagnoses.Researchers have suggested that such links could arise from various things.These include nutrient intake, sun exposure, climate, and disease exposure varying across the course of the year.However, evidence has been mixed.More recent studies have suggested that factors such as social class or economic background have more to do with these diagnoses than month of birth.Overall, the new study found no significant relationship between participants' month of birth and symptoms of depression or anxiety.There was some variability in some countries.In Poland, depressive symptoms fluctuated a little depending on birth month.In the Czech Republic, the same was true of anxiety symptoms.But on the whole, there was no systematic pattern.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 3. What have a number of past studies found about season of birth?Question 4. What did the new study find about the relationship between participants' month of birth and symptoms of depression?New Report ThreeGenetic researchers in China have made a clone of a star police dog.The clone was born in a laboratory in Beijing in December.Tests show that the clone and her mother are almost identical genetically.The mother dog helped solve multiple murders and many other crimes.The clone has already performed better than traditionally bred dogs on several tests.If the clone continues to perform as well as expected, it could mean a huge reduction in the training time for police dogs, which usually takes about five years.The ultimate goal of scientists is to produce clones of talented police dogs that can be trained in months instead of years.However, this goal is not yet possible due to the current costs of the technology.This is not the first time a clone has been made of a star police dog.In South Korea, six clones began working with the police in 2008.Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 5. What do the researchers' tests show about the cloned dog?Question 6. What is the scientists' purpose in cloning police dogs?Question 7. Why does the news report say the scientists' goal is not yet possible?Conversation OneTom, did you see the article online about the new TV series based on the book The Three Body Problem?A colleague mentioned the book, but I've been so busy writing my thesis that 1 haven't been able to read for pleasure in months.Well, sounds like if you're going to read anything for fun, this is the book.It's written by a Chinese science fiction writer.I can't remember his name, but he's written three books in all, and The Three Body Problem is the first in the series.I don't want to say too much and spoil it for you, but it's definitely got some amazing technological and sociological concepts in it.It does sound like it would suit my taste, but if they are making a TV series based on it now, I don't know if I should read the book or watch the show first.I think it's better to read the book first.It's rare for the show or movie to be better than the book.And then, you just end up ruining the book for yourself, if the show isn't very good.When is the show supposed to start?I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of data I still need to collect to finish my thesis.But I still need to relax sometimes.I can't remember exactly.It's pretty soon, and it's going to be quite long.There are 24 episodes.Well, maybe you could download an electronic copy of the book and try to read it before the show starts.That's a good idea.And then, maybe we can watch the series together.Thanks for the tip, Alice.W: No problem.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 8. How did the man get to know about the book The Three Body Problem?Question 9. What does the woman say she can't remember about the book's author?Question 10. What does the man have to do to finish his thesis?Question 11. What will the man most probably do first after the conversation?Conversation TwoHello, good afternoon.I have an inquiry to make.It's about the vegetarian food festival you are holding on the 19th of August at the Newcastle City Hall.Yes, of course. My name's Philip How can I help you?It says on your website that you are still looking for vendors, and I grow organic vegetables on my farm, as well as doing my own home baking.Would I be able to sell both the vegetables and items baked from them at the festival?That's exactly the type of thing we are looking for.We're getting close to the deadline, however.Do you prefer to fill out an application on the web, or to print it out and fill it in by hand and then post it back to us?Remember that you will have to have all your certificates to hand when you are filling out the forms, as the standards are high and they'll be carefully checked before anyone will be able to sell their produce at the event.I should be fine with doing it on your website, and I already have all my certificates, as we run a small farm shop too.But can you give me your details anyway?Sure. Please address it to the Organic Organization, Vendor Applications, 112 Queens Road, Newcastle, Northumbria.The postcode is NU 29 3LJ.Remember that the closing date is next Tuesday, the 28th of June.That's absolutely wonderful.Thank you so much for your help. Goodbye.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 12.Why does the woman call the man?Question 13. What is the man still looking for?Question 14. What does the man say they are getting close to?Question 15. What does the man finally ask the woman to remember?Passage OneSupporters call it "wild camping"; opponents call it "illegal camping".What both sides accept is that there has been a boom in the past few months, with increasing numbers of visitors pitching their tents on any bit of land they fancy in the UK.In part, this reflects the fact that official campsites have been wholly or partially closed, or are overflowing in a summer when fewer people are going abroad.It is also cheap, at a time when many are worried about what the economic future holds.But it may also be an expression of a desire for going outdoors- a response to the months of lockdown.Most of the coverage of the boom in wild camping has been negative.Camping in public parks has now been banned for August and the early part of September because campers dump litter, human waste, and even their tents on the grassland.Similar action has been taken even in Scotland, where camping is usually permitted on most of its open land.Clearly there have to be rules.It would make sense that wild campers need to ask for permission to camp from landowners, especially outside Scotland, where the law is farmore restrictive.It would be common sense for people to use small tents and leave no trace of their visit.They have been attracted by a patch of land this close to wilderness, and it is their responsibility to keep it that way.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 16. Why has wild camping become popular in the UK?Question 17. Why is camping banned for part of the summer in public parks?Question 18. What does the speaker suggest campers do?Passage TwoImagine boating down the Amazon River, minding your own business calmly keeping an eye out for alarmingly large snakes- and a curious pink dolphin appears to swim alongside.While this may seem like a mythical creature, pink dolphins do exist in the Amazon region.The Amazon river dolphin is a giant among its species.It can measure up to 2 meters long and weigh around 204 kilograms.Size isn't the only thing that sets the Amazon river dolphin apart.Thriving in South American rivers and temporary lakes caused by seasonal flooding, this freshwater dolphin is sometimes shockingly pink.Although born gray, males of the species are easily identified as they enter adulthood by a decisive pink shade.Their unusual coloring is believed to be the result of scar tissue from dolphin fights-- whether play-fighting or a serious bid for a mate.The deeper the pink, the more attractive the males are believed to be, and the older the male, the more pink it will have.There's also a theory that this color helps the dolphins more readily blend in with their surroundings.During heavy rains, rivers along the Amazon rainforest turn a pink shade, and with it male dolphins are harder to detect.The Amazon wetland system, fed by the Amazon River, is a crucial place for pink dolphins to breed, and since 2018 has been granted internationally protected status.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 19. What does the passage say about pink dolphins?Question 20. What is the unusual coloring of pink dolphins believed to originate in?Question 21. What has become of the Amazon wetland system since 2018?Passage ThreeIn a new Merrill Lynch/Age Wave survey, a full 70% of the early adults said they received financial support from their parents in the past yearand 58% said they couldn't afford their current lifestyles without it.The most common types of financial support include cell phone plans, food, school costs and car expenses.Parental financial support of early adults, said Ken Dychtwald, CEO of Age Wave, is "the new normal".But 64% of the young adults surveyed said parents' financial support to children age 25 to 34 is "a bad thing", because it makes those kids dependent.By contrast, only 29% thought supporting men and women age 18 to 24 is bad; the remaining 71% thought that assistance "helps the adult children get ahead".Dychtwald believes the young women and men surveyed were saying that by 25 younger adults ought to be financially independent.In fact, the respondents said, financial independence defines adulthood."Financial independence is something they were struggling with and challenged by. And it scared them a bit," Dychtwald said.One big reason they're struggling is attributed to college loans, of which the average amounts to $37,000.Many of the parents have taken on college loans for the kids, too, sometimes at the expense of their own finances.In the survey, 60% of early adults define financial success as being debt-fee.Whether that's likely, or even possible, anytime soon, is anyone's guess.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 22. What do we learn from a new survey by Merrill Lynch/Age Wave?Question 23. Why did most young adults in the survey say financial support to children aged 25 to 34 is a bad thing?Question 24. What did the respondents in the survey say regarding financial independence?Question 25. What is one big reason young adults are struggling?。

During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.11. M: It’s said that Jim and Jessie are moving to Arizona?W: No, to Mexico, and their house might be sold to a man from Arizona, and a young couple from Philadelphia also want to buy it.Q: Where will Jim and Jessie go to live?12. M: I’m sorry, madam. The train is somewhat behind schedule. Take a seat, and I’ll notify you as soon as weknow something definite.W: Thank you. I’ll sit here and read a magazine in the meantime.Q: What does the man mean?13. M: In listening, what do you think is the most important thing?W: Predicting. If you can’t, you’ll have to concentrate very hard on every word you hear rather than the overall meaning.Q: Why is predicting so important?14. M: I was quite surprised when I heard Bill play the piano. From the way he talked I thought he was juststarting his lessons.W: Oh, that’s the way he always talks.Q: What do we learn about Bill?15. W: How do you usually spend your weekend?M: In the summer, I usually sit in the park. In the autumn, I go for long walks. At other times of the year, I like to do odd jobs around the house or paint.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?16. M: How are you feeling now? The last time I saw you, you were about to go to hospital.W: I’m feeling better than I have for years. It’s hard to believe the operation was only a few weeks ago.Q: What do we learn about the woman?17.

My only recreation is skateboarding.W: Oh, I know it. It is included in extreme sports. I think it’s too dangerous for me.M: Maybe. But it emphasizes participation and a spirit of courage, and it can give one the extreme sense of cheerfulness and success. I’m getting to like the game more and more.W: I often see some “new age people” show off their various skills to handle a skateboard, which makes me wonder in awe. I think these people must have undergone much sufferings of flesh in order to ride skillfully. M: Although it is easy to ride, the condition of the road surface should also be paid attention to. It’s better to be equipped with helmet, eye shades, ankle shield, knee shield and elbow shield.W: If you go out recently you will find some people riding something just like the skateboard. What’s that?M: Oh, that’s scooter.W: It’s also very popular now.M: Yes.

It is the color this season. How about this pair? They are new models of this famous brand and were just on sale in the shops last week. They sell well in our shop.M: They are great. I’m also familiar with this brand of shoes. Can I try them on?W: Certainly, just give me a moment while I get a pair in your size. Please take a seat. I will be back in a moment.

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. 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 Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneAs any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general, the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores are,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.” The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their brothers and sisters. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible”, says Lewis, “when you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, it’s often the case that it’s middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?27. Why do parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner?28. What can we learn from Lewis’ research?29. Which statement would the writer agree to?Passage TwoTeams of teachers and school administrators from at least fourteen American cities are at a conference in Washington. The American Federation of Teachers, a labor union, holds the Quest conference every two years. This year, one of the subjects is a tutoring program that provides extra help to students in Rochester, New York. The Rochester City School District was one of five in the nation recognized by the Bush administration for their tutoring programs. Tutoring is big business in the United States these days. There are private learning centers where parents can take their children after school. Test preparation companies are also doing well. One reason for all this tutoring is the growing competition for places at top universities. Another influence is the Bush Administration’s federal education law, called No Child Left Behind. The law requires services like free tutoring for poor students at schools that fail to meet educational goals for three years. There is federal money to pay the tutors. But the No Child Left Behind law does not say who must do the tutoring. It can be a private company or local teachers. The law does say, however, that the provider must have shown a record of effectiveness in helping students learn. In Rochester, the tutoring is provided by a teachers union, the Rochester Teachers’ Association. The program began in the spring of 2003 with 47 students and 15 tutors.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. What organization is the host of the Quest conference?31. Which is one of the reasons that tutoring becomes popular in the United States?32. Who will pay the tutors in the program?Passage ThreeA well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday and the price did not matter, since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a number of beautiful expensive pearls, he chose a nice black one that cost $ 5,000. He paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left. A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. He had to buy one of exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted to have a pair of earrings made. “Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, “I would say it’s nearly impossible to find an exact one like that pearl.” The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offered $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the ad but nobody had a pearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up, a little old lady came in to his shop. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. “I don’t like to part with it,” she said sadly, “I inherited it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers. But I really need money.” The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich man’s hotel to tell him the good news. The man, however, was nowhere to be found.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. Why did the man pay $ 5,000 for the black pearl without bargaining?34. What’s the requirement of another pearl the man wanted?35. How much money does the man cheat the jeweler of?Section CDirections:In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.For Americans, time is money. They say, “You only get so much time in this life; you’d better use it wisely.” The future will not be better than the past or present, as Americans are trained to see things, unless people use their time for constructive activities. Thus, Americans admire a “well-organized” person, one who has a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them. The ideal person is punctual and is considerate of other people’s time. They do not waste people’s time with conversation or other activity that has no visible beneficial outcome. The American attitude toward time is not necessarily shared by others, especially non-Europeans. They are more likely to regard time as something that is simply there around them, not something they can use. One of the more difficult things many students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day. In this context, the fast food industry can be seen as a clear example of American cultural product. McDonald’s, KFC, and other fast food establishments are successful in a country where many people want to spend the least amount of time preparing and eating meals. As McDonald’s restaurants spread around the world, they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture, bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.Model Test 2Section A11. M: When does the next train leave?W: You have just missed one by 15 minutes. Trains leave every fifty minutes, so you’ll have to wait for a while.Q: How long does the man have to wait for the next train?12. W: It is said you’re moving to a new apartment soon.M: Yes. I have to do so though the rent is too high. My present roommate plays the piano all night and I can’t sleep.Q: Why does the man want to move?13. M: If you had got up earlier by 15 minutes, we could have been able to catch the Greyhound bus to Chicago.W: Yes, if my watch hadn’t betrayed me.Q: Why did the man and the woman miss the bus?14. W: You didn’t drive to your office this morning. Is something wrong with your car?M: No, I’m taking a medicine yesterday and it is making me drowsy, so I couldn’t drive regularly.Q: Why didn’t the man drive?15. M: I’ll have the steak, French Fries, and let's see, chocolate ice-cream for dissert.W: Oh, Oh, you know these things will ruin your health, too much fat and sugar. How about ordering some vegetables and fruit instead?Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?16. W: I certainly would like to buy the blue dress I saw in the department store, but I don’t have enough money.M: Well, if you would budget your money more carefully, you would be able to buy it.Q: How does the man feel about the woman?17. M: I can hardly recognize you. You look smarter wearing that pair of sunglasses. But it seems unnecessary towear it in such a cloudy day.W: Yes, that’s true. But you see I have got a scratch on my face. It’s really ugly.Q: For what reason does the woman wear sunglasses?18. W: How’s your new job with the company? And do you get along well with your boss?M: It seemed promising at first, but I feel that I’m no salesman. And to add fuel to the fire, the boss and I have our differences.Q: What do we know from the conversation?Now you’ll hear two long conversations.Conversation OneM: So, Rebecca, what did you do for spring break?W: I went to southern California. I was in Los Angeles and San Diego. And I stopped in San Juan Capistrano.That’s south of Los Angeles and north of San Diego. I happened to be there just about the time the swallows returned.M: Oh, I’ve heard about that ― they always return on the same day, don’t they?W: That’s right, on March 19th. And they always fly away on the same day, October 23rd. In the meantime, they migrate over 7,000 miles to get to their winter homes.M: 7,000 miles! And they always come back on the same day!W: Yes, except for one year, a long time ago they were delayed by a storm at sea. Besides, San Juan Capistrano suffered a disaster once.M: Once? What happened to it?W: It was destroyed by an earthquake almost 200 years ago. But there was an old adobe church that survived. Theswallows built their nests in the walls and towers of that church.M: You were lucky to be there on the day of the year when the swallows returned.W: Well, I wasn’t there exactly on that day. I got to town a couple of days later, but I did see the parade celebrating the swallows’ return.M: They had a parade? The people there must really like those swallows.W: Sure. They bring lots of tourists to town, and besides, the swallows eat insects including mosquitoes!Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. Where is the town of San Juan Capistrano?20. When do the swallows return to San Juan Capistrano?21. Why didn’t the swallows come back on the same day as usual one year?22. Where did the swallows build their nests after the earthquake 200 years ago?Conversation TwoM: English Language Center. May I help you?W: Yes. I’m calling to find out more information about your program. For example, what kind of courses do you offer?M: Well, first of all, the purpose of our program is to provide language learning opportunities to this area’s community, whether a student’s goal is to master basic functional language skills, let’s say, for his or her job, or to study intensively to enter a US college or university.W: Okay, I’m calling for a friend who is interested in attending a US university.M: And that’s the kind of, uh, instruction that we provide, from basic communication courses to content-based classes such as computer literacy, intercultural communication, and business English.W: Great. What are your application deadlines for the next semester?M: Well, we ask applicants to apply no later than two months before the semester begins. This gives us time to process the application and issue the students’ I-20.W: An I-20?M: Oh, an I-20 is a form that indicates that we are giving permission for the student to study in our program, and then the student takes this form to the US embassy in his or her home country to apply for the F-1 student visa. W: Alright. What is the tuition for a full-time student?M: It’s two thousand thirty dollars.W: And how does one apply?M: Well, we can send you an application and you can mail it back to us, or you can fill out our application that’s on our website.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. Which was NOT mentioned as part of the purposes of the English Language Center?24. Which of the following statements is TRUE?25. If the fall semester begins on August 29th, by what date should one have applied to the program?Section BPassage OneAt the University of Kansas art museum, investigators tested the effects of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical system under the carpet. The experiment revealed that those who entered the dark brown room walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in theroom than the people in the white environment. Dark brown stimulated more activity, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room influences those inside. Another experiment presented subjects with photographs of faces that were to be rated in terms of energy and well-being. Three groups of subjects were used. Each was shown the same photos, but each group was in a different kind of room. One group was in an ugly room that resembled a messy storeroom. Another group was in an average room, a nice office. The third group was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting and drapes. Results showed that the subjects in the beautiful room tended to give higher ratings to the faces than those in the ugly room. Other studies suggest that students do better on tests taken in comfortable, attractive rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. Which of the following best expressed the main idea of the passage?27. What can be inferred about visitors in a white-colored room?28. How did ugly rooms influence visitors at an exhibition?29. According to the passage, in which rooms do students tend to do best on tests?Passage TwoBy the end of the 1980s the total number of UK TV licences was around 19 million. During the 1980s and 1990s cable and satellite TV both played an increasing role in the media in Britain, providing a greater choice for those prepared to pay for it. One of the biggest changes in the way people in Britain spend their leisure time in recent years has been an increase in the amount of time spent watching television. The average winter viewing figures are now about twenty-eight hours per week. As you might expect, television viewing is less popular in summer than in winter and more popular with passengers than any other age group. Viewing also varies according to social classes, with professional and managerial classes watching less than the unskilled and the unemployed. On average, women watch more than men. British TV has an international reputation for producing programs of a high quality, such as documentaries, nature programs, comedies and drama series and according to the government there should be a combination of “competition, quality and choice” in any plans for the future of TV. However, not everyone agrees that more TV means better TV and it has been argued that the standard programs with a mass appeal such as soap operas, quiz shows and situation comedies are not very high. “Minority programs”, such as many of those broadcast on BBC 2 and Channel 4, might disappear.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. What is the average figure of people watching TV in winter?31. Who, in general, watch TV more in Britain?32. What are the “Minority programs”?Passage ThreeThe World Health Organization (WHO) says more effort is needed to stop the trade in forged medicines. Acting as a coordinating authority on international public health, the United Nations health agency says countries must work together to fight the growing threat from drugs that are not what they seem. WHO officials discussed the problem during a recent high-level meeting in Rome. Delegates at the conference included representatives of government agencies, consumer groups and the drug industry. Forged medicines trick people into believing they are taking something that will make them well. Instead, it might make them sicker or even kill them. The World Health Organization says forged medicines are present in all countries. Experts point out the problem is worst in developing countries. Forged medicines are thought to represent 10 percent of drug sales worldwide. A group in the United States estimates that profits from forged drug sales will reach 75 billion dollars by 2010. The Center forMedicines in the Public Interest estimated the profits last year at almost 40 billion dollars. WHO official say identifying forged medicines is getting more difficult. Criminals are improving their methods. Representatives at the meeting in Rome agreed to creat e an international expert group. Among its duties, the new group will try to strengthen national laws and establish better systems to identify forged drugs.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. What did WHO officials discuss during a recent high-level meeting in Rome?34. Where is the problem of forged drugs worst according to experts?35. Why is it becoming increasingly difficult to identify forged medicine?Section CI have learned, often the hard way, that there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey. First of all, always check and double-check departure times. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. I walked calmly to the departure desk, thinking I still had a little time to spare. I hadn’t bothered to take a good look at the ticket. The clerk at the desk told me politely but firmly that the departure time was 10:15 and that the flight was, according to international regulations, “now closed”. I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting. The important rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency with you when you arrive in a country. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and since I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen, buddy! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was very embarrassing.Model Test 3Section A11. W: It’s a miracle that Frank came out of the accident alive.M: Yes. It’s hard to believe that there would be a survivor from the plane crash especially after such a serious explosion.Q: What can we know about Frank from the conversation?12. M: Can you give me some information about the cost of a trip to Los Angeles?W: I’m sorry, sir. I can’t give that information over the phone. The travel agent will be able to help you.Q: Where will the man want to go?13. M: What would be like working with those young stars?W: It was a great group, I always got mad when people said that we didn’t get along, just because we were girls. There was never a fight. We had a great time.Q: What does the woman mean?14. M: How did they build up such a grand bridge within 3 years?W: You know, workers overcame numerous numbers of difficulties. Most workers worked day and night on work-sites. Some young workers even delay their wedding plan for it.Q: How did they build up the bridge?15. W: I thought you had gone to the drugstore at the corner?M: I did, but the druggist had been robbed on his way to the store this morning. I had to hear all about that before I could get the medicine.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?16. M: When can we turn our papers over and begin?W: You may begin now. You will have thirty minutes to answer forty true or false questions.Q: What is the man doing?17. W: Didn’t you tell Tom about the decision we made at the meeting?M: Whatever I say to him goes in one ear and out the other.Q: Why did the man refuse to tell Tom about their decision?18. W: How do you like your new job, Stan?M: Fine. Now I am dealing with the financial reports and studying the books. Next week I will start to handle some of the accounts.Q: What does the man do?Now you’ll hear two long conversations.Conversation OneW: Hey, Joe, haven’t seen you for months. Care for a drink at the bar?M: I’d love to, but I’m already late for the talk about the benefits of walkathon this weekend.W: Walkathon? What’s all this about?M: Don’t you know? Most of the residents in Packer Hall are going to try to walk the seven miles from the engineering library, across campus and down to city hall, in an effort to raise money for the new children’s hospital.W: Sounds like a good idea. But I don’t understand where the money comes from.M: Well, a few days before the walkathon, each participant goes around asking people to pledge just a certain amount of money for each mile that he or she expects to walk in the event. Then after the walkathon’s over, the participants go back to those same people, collect the money pledged and send it into the hospital.W: So you mean if someone pledges, say, a dollar a mile, and you walk five miles, you can get five dollars?M: That’s right. Of course, most of my friends aren’t such big spenders; the biggest pledge I’ve gotten so far is 25。

Trouble with a criminal.参考答案：11) C 12) B 13) D 14) D 15) C听力文本：A lawyer friend of mine, Patricia, has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law".Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. They have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to the people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers' fees? It is unfair if these people cannot get the legal help they need.Public interest lawyers, who also have had expensive and highly specialized training, fill this need. Patricia, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients have the help they need, even if they can pay nothing at all.Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty goods. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened to be driven out of their homes and have no place to go. Their cases are all called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seek those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases.Q 11: What is this passage about?Q 12: What is unfair according to the speaker?Q 13: What can be inferred from this passage?Q 14: What do we know from this passage?Q 15: What is an example of a civil case?∧收起答案复合式听写10题Directions：Listen to a short passage three times.

We started to 22) cross the boulevard to get to the second circle. It was raining so hard that we decided to go inside a restaurant instead. Ten minutes later, as we were looking out the window, we saw everyone was 23) running away from something. At first, we did not know what was going on. We went outside the restaurant to see what was happening. People seemed shocked.A huge flood was 24) streaming down the mountain. We were standing on a higher place, so we could see everything. We were scared. Cars, rocks, and people were floating on the water like little toys toward the little market at the south end of the circle. The height of the water was almost to the top of the trees.After a few minutes, the flood's flow was reduced, so we decided to leave the area before the water entered the street we were on.It was reported that the flood 25) destroyed a big area and approximately 300 people were killed or disappeared that day. Later, we also learned that a dam had burst during the rain.Unit2短对话5题Directions：Listen to five short conversations and choose the best answer to each question you hear.1)A.

But be careful who you take advice from, because the workplace is changing very fast right now. As the new generation makes its voice heard at work, a lot of the old rules no longer apply. Here are two job-hunting rules that will hold you back if you're not careful:Bad Rule No. 1: Draw a clear picture of yourself. A résumé is not supposed to give the story of your life; it's a marketing document. So the goal is not to tell every single thing about yourself, but rather to get an interview. And the best way to land an interview is to make the employer want to find out more about you.Bad Rule No. 2: Don't be too narrow. If you're not narrow, then what are you selling? Think about cars. Is a BMW the car that meets every need for every person? Is a Saturn the car for high-end and low-end markets? You're no different from a car. You can't be everything to everyone.Q 11: What is the passage about?Q 12: What can we infer from the passage?Q 13: What does the author think about résumés?Q 14: What is the best way to get an interview?Q 15: In what sense are people like cars?∧收起答案复合式听写10题Directions：Listen to a short passage three times.

Because school is out and the weather is great. And most of all, because we all deserve a break. When Americans take a break, they often head for their favorite vacation spots.Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees, and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friends or relatives in distant states. Others go on low-budget weekend excursions and stay in economy motels. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious resorts and hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles to camp out in comfort, while others "rough it" by sleeping in tents.Most Americans prefer to travel within their nation's border. Why? For one thing, it's cheaper than traveling abroad, and there's no language problem. Besides that, the vast American territory offers numerous tourist attractions. Nature lovers can enjoy beaches, mountains, canyons, lakes and a wealth of natural wonders. Major cities offer visitors a multitude of urban delights. The convenience of modern freeways, railways and airplanes makes travel in America as easy as pie.Many American vacations are as unique as the people who take them. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more "family friendly" vacation resorts offer special programs for children. Environmentalists prefer "green vacations". These trips allow them to observe plants and flowers closely without disturbing the sensitive balance of nature. Some people find sea cruises relaxing and refreshing. Others hit the water to go fishing, skiing or rafting. Daring tourists get the thrill of a lifetime on expeditions in remote places from Africa to Asia.Q 11: What is the passage mainly about?Q 12: Which of the following is true of traveling in recreational vehicles?Q 13: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason why Americans prefer to travel within the United States?Q 14: Which of the following is true of America, according to the passage?Q 15: How can environmentalists benefit from "green vacations"?∧收起答案复合式听写10题Directions：Listen to a short passage three times.

Dinner parties usually star between 7 and 8 p.m. and end at about 11. If you are invited to a dinner party, ask your host or hostess what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. If you want to be extra polite, you can say to your host or hostess how much you like the room, or the picture on the wall. But remember—it’s not polite to ask how much things cost.In many families, the husband sits at one end and the wife sits at the other end.They eat with their guests.Y ou’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables and the dessert, followed by coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.There is one more thing you should remember to do. Call your host and hostess the nest day to tell them how much you enjoy the dinner, or write them a short “thank you” letter. British people like to say “thank you , thank you” all the time!1. What is considered proper able manners as a polite gust?A. Say thank you all the time.B. Wait to be served and do not help yourself with food.C.

Say how much you like the things in your hosts room and ask about their prices.D. Write or call your host and hostess to thank them for a wonderful evening you had.Passage two:As a person living in the 21st century, you will probably move several times in your life time. And most of those moves will take you to another city—a new job, new friends sometimes a whole new lifestyle.Moving offers the opportunity to make personal changes as well as to change the place where you live and work.When no one knows you, you can make these changes in yourself and your lifestyle more easily because your old friends aren’t watching you and you don’t have the pressure of your former co-workers.Moving offers opportunities, but, of course, it can also cause problems. It takes time to adjust to change and you might feel lonely and unhappy at first. Moving also can cause problems within the family. If both you and your husband or wife work, probably only one of you will benefit professionally from the move. The other may feel angry. And children may feel angry too, because they have to live their friends and school.In the end, moving will be easier if you can focus on the present. That is, don’t waste time missing the life you left behind. Instead, start making a new life in your new city. And don’t waste time that you might have to move again in a couple o f years. Think about where you are now and make the most of it.1. What is the passage main about?A. The opportunity that moving offers.B. The problems that moving causes.C. The Americans’ new life.D. The advantages and disadvantages of moving.2. What are you supposed to do when you move to a new place and a new job according to the passage?A. To think about the nest move.B. To start making new friends.C. To miss your life in the past.D. To start a new life.Passage there:Helen was a university student.

Unit 8 MysteriesPART II LISTENING AND SPEAKINGLESSON A Scary MonstersLISTENINGScriptReinhold Messner is a famous mountain climber from Austria. He was the first person to climb the highest 14 mountains on Earth. For years, Messner heard stories about the Yeti, but he didn’t believe them. Then he had a scary experience.He was alone on a hike in the Himalayas. It was early evening. Suddenly, he heard a strange sound and he saw something—maybe an animal. It moved very fast.He walked more, and then he heard the strange sound again. Nearby, he saw ... something. It walked on two legs, like a person. It had short legs, but at the same time, it was over two meters tall. It also had very long arms. And it had hair on all of its body.Messner looked at this half person, half animal. And it looked at him. And then the thing walked away—very quickly into the mountains. And it was gone.Today, there are no apes in the Himalayas, but in the past, there were. Around three hundred thousand years ago, a type of giant ape lived in the Himalayas.It was three meters (ten feet) tall and weighed more than five hundred kilograms (one thousand pounds). Some scientists think it walked on two legs, like humans.Maybe the Yeti and this ancient (very old) animal are similar.1.stories about关于……的故事2.be on a hike徒步旅行3.walk on two legs两条腿走路4.be gone消失CONVERSATIONScriptA: Do you think Yetis are real?B: Maybe.A: Really?B: Yeah.

In 1977, he worked at Ohio State University in the U.S. At the school, there was a large radio telescope called “Big Ear.” It listened for signals from space, and it made a report each day.Ehman read the report every day. Each time, the sky was quiet. Then, on August 15, something interesting happened.At 10:16 p.m., Big Ear got a very powerful signal from space. How powerful? Think of it this way: imagine listening to soft music on the radio, and then suddenly it becomes very loud. The signal was unusual because it was very “loud.”Also, it lasted for almost a minute and a half. Ehman was very surprised. On the report, he wrote the word “Wow!”The signal came from outside our solar system, say scientists. Where exactly? We don’t know. Was it a message from another planet? Maybe, but even now, scientists are not sure. We only got the signal one time. Scientists continue to study the skies, but for now, the Wow! signal is still a mystery.st for持续了……时间Listening 2ScriptOn a summer’s night in July of nineteen forty-seven, something strange happened in the town of Roswell, New Mexico. People saw objects flying in the sky and then they heard a loud crash.Near Roswell, the army found pieces of a flying machine on the ground, but it wasn’t a plane.A few days later, the army made a surprising announcement: They said the machine was a UFO—maybe one from space.But then, a few hours later, the army made another announcement: They said their first message wasn’t correct. The object wasn’t a UFO from another planet. It was a weather balloon.Today, the army still says the object was a weather balloon. But some people say they saw strange bodies near the crash site in 1947. They were dead, but they weren’t human. And now, a man named Chas e Brandon says the army’s story is not true. Brandon worked for the government for many years. In 2012, he talked about Roswell. He said the flying machine that crashed wasn’t from Earth. He also said there were aliens. The events at Roswell definitely happened, says Brandon, but the government doesn’t want people to know about it.1.Roswell 罗斯威尔市(新墨西哥州东南部城市)LISTENING SKILLS （无注解）Script1.

It made a very large crater.The asteroid caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, scientists think. It also caused almost seventy percent of all life on Earth to die out.It changed our planet forever. But how did this happen?Was it the debris from the crash? Or the heat from the explosion? Or was it something else?To answer this question, scientists want to recreate the crash from 65 million years ago.In the United States, a team of scientists puts a bomb in the ground.The team moves to a safe place. And they wait…Scientists:“Standby for count…5, 4, 3, 2, 1”“Oh man, awesome. Oh, beautiful ejecta falling—Ooh, that’s a crater. Good job, guys—outstanding.”Narrator:Now, scientists can study the explosion. They watch high speed cameras. And they learn a lot.What do the scientists see?One of the first things is the large white circle. This is a shockwave, and it is moving very fast.It’s a very powerful wall of air. And it can kill almost anything.65 million years ago, as the wave moved, it probably killed anything within 150 kilometers in the first 10 seconds.Now, scientists go and look at the crater. The crater is big, but the real crater in Mexico is much larger. It’s 180 kilometers wide!In this experiment, debris from the explosion rains down for more than 10 seconds. 65 million years ago, a huge amount of debris went into the air. Some of the pieces of debris were the size of buildings.The power of the asteroid is hard to imagine. But now, scientists understand it a little better.1.crash into 撞击；与……相撞2.die out绝种；灭亡3.high speed cameras高速摄像机。

The computer company— Microsoft has become the first company in history to be valued at more than 500,000 million dollars. Microsoft produces an operating system that is used in most of the computers in the world. Microsoft was established by Bill Gates. If the company were a country, it would have the 9th largest economy in the world.News Item 2In Washington, a judge has ruled that Microsoft Company has acted as a monopoly. Thismeans Microsoft took steps to end competition from other companies to gain total control of the market. The judge said that Microsoft’s business actions harmed people who buy computer products. The court decision is considered a major defeat for the company. Microsoft is the world’s largest maker of computer software products.Task 6【答案】A.1) T, 2) F, 3) F, 4) T, 5) T, 6) TB.Judge Jackson’s rulings1) misusing, computer programs2) two smaller businessesThe Federal Appeals Court’s rulings1) block competition2) reconsider3) fair/being fair, Microsoft and Bill GatesLegal experts’ comments1) the Federal government, Microsoft2)a) The Supreme Courtb) a new trial, the unresolved legal questionsc) negotiations, privatelyBill Gates’ responsethe situation, solutionProspects1) an agreement2) punished, pay money【原文】In November, a Washington D.C. judge found the Microsoft Corporation guilty of misusing its power to control the market for computer programs. Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson announced his findings after months of trial. He said Microsoft uses its power to illegally block competition.Judge Jackson later ordered that Microsoft be divided into two smaller businesses. The Microsoft Corporation quickly appealed Judge Jackson’s ruling to a Federal Court.Last week, the Federal Appeals Court ruled on the case. It said Microsoft Corporation was guilty of creating a company that used its power to block competition. The seven Appeals Court judges agreed with Judge Jackson that Microsoft limited creativity in the computer industry and harmed the public. They said that Microsoft was guilty of violating several federal laws.However, the Federal Appeals Court also said the Washington D.C. court must reconsider its order to divide Microsoft into two smaller companies. The federal court dismissed Judge Jackson’s decision. The Appeals Court judges accused Judge Jackson of not being fair during the Microsoft Trial. They severely criticized him for comments he made about Microsoft and its chairman to reporters during the trial.The Federal Appeals Court also said Judge Jackson repeated these mistakes several times. Itsaid the public would lose its trust in a legal system that permits judges to speak their opinions to reporters during a trial.Legal experts say both the federal government and Microsoft can claim small victories with the Federal Appeals Court ruling. The experts say government lawyers were able to prove that Microsoft is guilty of violating federal laws. At the same time, Microsoft can claim a victory because it may not have to divide into two smaller companies.Legal experts say government lawyers and the lawyers for Microsoft must now choose one of three different possible paths. First, either side could appeal the Federal Court’s decision to the Supreme Court. Or, they could request a new trial before a different lower court judge to consider some of the unresolved legal questions. A third choice is for both sides to reopen negotiations to try to settle the case privately. Such efforts failed during the Clinton Administration.Bill Gates is the head of Microsoft Corporation. He says it is now a good time for all the groups involved to discuss the situation and see what kind of solution could be negotiated.Most legal experts believe that the Microsoft Company and government lawyers will come to an agreement during future negotiations. They say Microsoft may be punished by being forced to pay money.Task 7【答案】News Item 1A.1) It will send Destiny into Orbit.2) It is a scientific research laboratory.3) Destiny is the most technologically complex research center ever put into space.4) Over one billion dollars.5) It will last eleven Days.6) The will make three walks in space to attach the laboratory to the International Space Station’s Control Centre.News Item 2B.News Lead: The first laboratory has been connected to the International Space Station.1) launched, Wednesday, February 7th2) Destiny3) mechanical arm4) a linking device5) protective clothing, complete work【原文】News Item 1In space news. The space shuttle Atlantis has taken off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The spaceship will send the Destiny scientific research laboratory into orbit. The laboratory is an important part of the International Space Station. NASA officials say Destiny is the most technologically complex research center ever put into space. The laboratory has cost over 1,000,000,000 dollars to build. Space shuttle astronauts will make three walks in space during an eleven-day mission to attach the laboratory to the International Space Station’s Control Center. News Item 2The first laboratory has been connected to the International Space Station. The American space shuttle Atlantis was launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Wednesday, February 7th. It carried the new laboratory Destiny to the space station, which is orbiting Earth. Destiny is the first of six space laboratories that will be launched and added to the space station. The five crew members of Atlantis used the space shuttle’s huge mechanical arm to take the laboratory out of the shuttle. The arm carefully moved Destiny to a linking device on the International Space Station. Two members of the Atlantis crew put on protective clothing. They left the shuttle and moved out into space to complete work on the link.Task 8【答案】110 stories, employing, desks, collapse, figures, recovered, crashed, dead, searching, 800【原文】The World Trade Center is 110 stories high. Four hundred firms had offices there employing tens of thousands of people. When the planes hit, it’s thought between 10 and 20 thousand people would have been sitting at their desks. Before the collapse of the building, many people did manage to get away, but figures aren’t yet known.So far 55 bodies have been recovered. 260 police officers and firefighters who went into the building after the planes crashed are missing and feared dead. In the Pentagon, the world’s largest office building, rescuers are still searching the rubble. It’s thought around 80 bodies there have been found but estimates of those who died could go up to about 800.Task 9【答案】A.released, number one, terrorist attack, The Rising【原文】Bruce Springsteen’s new a lbum was released July 30th. It is number one in record sales in more than ten countries. Most of its songs are about the September 11th terrorist attacks. Shep O’Neal plays some of the songs on the album, The Rising.“You’re Missing” is probably the sadde st song on The Rising. A woman’s husband has died. She and her children see the many things that belonged to him around the house, but he is gone.“Into the Fire” is about one of the hundreds of police, firefighters and rescue workers who died in the terrorist attacks. The song honors the love and sense of duty he showed that day. It is also a prayer for the strength and hope that his sacrifice represents.Songs on The Rising also express anger about the attacks. But, the anger is mostly a personal statemen t, not a political one. The song “Empty Skies” describes the desire to strike back that a person feels after a senseless loss.The album’s title song appeals to listeners to come together and heal each other. We leave you now with Bruce Springsteen’s hopeful title song, “The Rising.”Task 10【答案】News Item 1A.1) A four-year exhibition of the work of the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh has opened in Amsterdam.2) It is one of his early drawings in water color, pencil and ink, depicting a woman carrying a child along a windswept road.3) A German art dealer acting for an anonymous collector.4) In 1883.News Item 2B.movie industry, directing, editing, released, Oscar, metals, statue, weighs, priceless, offers, earning 【原文】News Item 1A four-year exhibition of the works of the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh has opened in Amsterdam with the unveiling of one of his early drawings which has only recently come to light; the drawing in water color, pencil and ink depicts a woman carrying a child along a windswept road.

But the award can be priceless to the person who receives it. Winning an Oscar can mean becoming much more famous. It can mean getting offers to work in the best movies. It also can mean earning much more money.Task 11【答案】News media are the means, or methods, by which people learn what is happening in their city, in their country, and in the world. The news can be classified into two general categories. The categories are print media and electronic media.Print media are usually divided into magazines and newspapers.

Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the world were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. The Princess concluded with a simple message: "We must stop landmines." And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message. But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as "very ill-informed" and a "loose cannon". Opposition parties, the media and the public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess's trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government's policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government. To try and limit the damage, both the Foreign Secretary and the Defense Secretary gave corresponding statements respectively. For the Princess, the trip to this war-tom country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landmines can cause. She said that the experience had also given her the chance to get closer to people and their problems. 16. Why did Princess Diana pay a visit to Angola in 1997?A.Because she was ill-informed of the government's policy.B.Because they were actually opposed to banning landmines. √C.Because she had not consulted the government before the visit.D.Because they believed that she had misinterpreted the situation in Angola.解析：[听力原文] Why did some members of the British government criticize Diana?A.It had caused embarrassment to the British government.B.It had brought her closer to the ordinary people. √C.It had greatly promoted her popularity.D.It had affected her relations with the British government.解析：[听力原文] What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?{{B}}Passage TwoQuestions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.{{/B}}{{B}}Passage TwoQuestions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.{{/B}} （分数：21.00）A.Seven-tenths.B.Eight-tenths.C.Nine-tenths. √D.Six-tenths.解析：[听力原文]19-21 Antarctica has nine-tenths of all the world's ice. If all this ice melted, the level of the world's oceans would rise 250 feet. Most cities along the coast would be drowned. In New York Harbor, water would almost cover the Statue of Liberty's head. But the ice in Antarctica does not melt. The temperature stays well below freezing the year round in most places. Antarcticais the coldest place on earth. The temperature there has been known to drop to more than 100 degrees below zero. Antarctica does not have much plant life. Only a few simple plants such as mosses can grow there. The climate is so harsh, and food so scare, that people cannot settle in Antarctica. But along the coasts of the continent there are many birds, fish and animals. Thousands of whales and millions of seals swim in Antarctica seas. Six kinds of seals are found. The fur seal, the smallest, has long been hunted for its silky fur. The tough-skinned elephant seal is the largest. It can weigh as much as four tons. Most of the world's whaling takes place in Antarctica waters. The blue whale is the largest animal that has ever lived. A number of birds live in Antarctica, and fly over the water and ice. Penguins are the best-known of Antarctic birds.

The streams, lakes, meadows, mountain, ridges and forests that make the Pocono an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Pocono's natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy named the area one of America's "Last Great Places". Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy's officer Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area. Cook attributes the Conservancy's success in the Pocono to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents. "The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community," Cook said. "The people who live there respect the land." They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with theconservation effort. 22.
