Texas Tech University is even offering a class called Improving Your Sleep Habits. People suffering from sleep loss are at an increased risk from obesity, psychological problems and car crashes. Students who don't get enough sleep have poor attendance and lower grades. On top of all that, (2)a new study published in the journal Learning and Memory finds you are probably better off sleeping than making last-minute preparations for a test. Two hundred college kids were taught to play some unfamiliar video games. Subjects who learned the games in the morning lost some skills when they played again 12 hours later, (1)but they did much better after getting a good night's sleep. So if you really want to do your job well, don't forget to get some sleep.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.What is the news report mainly about?解析：主旨大意题。
2017年12月大学英语四级参考答案及听力原文
2017年12月丨四级听力*注：2017年12月全国大学英语四级考试共有两套听力。
听力第一套听力原文：A 9-year-old girl in New Mexico has raised more than $500 for her little brother who needs heart surgery in Houston, Texas this July. Addison Witulski's grandmother Kim Allred, said Addison probably overheard a conversation between family members talking about the funds needed to get her little brother to treatment. "I guess she overheard her grandfather and me talking about how we're worried about how we're going to get to Houston, for my grandson's heart surgery," said Allred. She decided to go outside and have a lemonade stand and make some drawings and pictures and sell them.” That's when Addison and her friends Erika and Emily Borden decided to sell lemonade for 50 cents a cup and sell pictures for 25 cents each.Before Allred knew it, New Mexico State Police Officers were among the many stopping by helping them reach a total of$568. The family turned to social media expressing their gratitude saying, "From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to deeply thank each and every person that stopped by!"1: Who did Addison raise the money for?2: How did Addison raise the money?News Report 2:Last week, France announced that the country will pave 621 miles of road with solar panels over the next five years with the goal of providing cheap, renewable energy to five million people. Called the Ward Way, the roads will be built through joint efforts with the French road building company Colas and the National Institute of Solar Energy. The company spent the last five years developing solar panels that are only about a quarter of inch thick and are strong enough to stand up to heavy highway traffic without breaking or making the roads more slippery. The panels are also designed so that they canbe installed directly on top of the existing roadways, making them relatively cheap and easy to install. France is the first country to kick around the idea of paving its roads with solar panels. In November 2015, the Netherlands completed a229-foot long bike path paved with solar panels as a test for future projects. However, this is the first time a panel has been designed to be laid directly on top existing roads and the first project to install the panels on public highways.3: What was France’s purpose o f constructing theWard Way?4: What is special about the solar panels used in the Ward Way?News Report 3Lions have disappeared from much of Africa, but for the past few years scientists have wondered if the big cats were hanging on in remote parts of Sudan and Ethiopia. Continuousfighting in the region has made surveys difficult. But scientists released a report Monday documenting with hard evidence the discovery of "lost lions." A team with Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, supported by a charity organization, spent two nights in November camping in a national park in northwest Ethiopia on the Ethiopia-Sudan border. The researchers set out six camera traps, capturing images of lions, and the identified lion tracks. The scientists concluded that lions are also likely to live in a neighboring national park across the border in Sudan. The International Union for Conservation of Nature had previously considered the area a "possible range" for the species, and local people had reported seeing lions in the area, but no one presented convincing evidence.5: What has made it difficult to survey lions in remote parts of Sudan and Ethiopia?6: What was the main purpose of the research?7: What did the researchers find in the national park?Conversation OneM: I beg you’re looking forward to the end of this month. Aren’t you?W: Yes, I am. How did you know?M: David told me you had a special birthday coming up. W: Oh, yes. That’s right. This year would be my golden birthday.M: What does t hat mean? I’ve never heard of a golden birthday.W: I’ve actually just learned of this concept myself. Fortunately, just in time to celebrate. A golden or lucky birthday is when one turns the age of their birth date. So, for example, my sister’s birthday i s December 9th and her golden birthday would have been the year she turns 9 years old. Come to think of it , my parents did throw her a surprise party that year.M: Interesting. Too bad I missed mine. My golden birthday would’ve been four years ago. I assu medly got a big plan then.W: Actually yes. My husband is planning a surprise holiday for the two of us next week. I have no idea what he’s gotten in mind, but I’m excited to find out. Has he mentioned anything to you?M: He might have.W: Anything you’d like to share? I’m dying to know what kind of trip he has planned where we’re going.M: Yeah, nothing at all.W: Not a clue. Hard to imagine, isn’t it! Though I must say, I think it has been even more fun keeping the secret for me the past few weeks.M: I’m sure both of you will have a fantastic time. Happy golden birthday! I can’t wait to hear all about it when you get back.8. What does the woman looking forward to?9. What did the woman’s parents do on her sister’s lucky birthday?10. What is the woman eager to find out about?11. What does the man say at the end of the conversation? Conversation TwoW: Mr. Green, What do you think makes a successful negotiator?M: Well, It does hard to define, but I think successful negotiators have several things in common. They are always polite and rational people, they are firm, but flexible. They can recognize power and know how to use it. They are sensitive to the dynamics in the negotiation, the way it raises and falls, and how may change the direction. They project the image of confidence, and perhaps most importantly, they know when to stop.W: And what about an unsuccessful negotiator?M: Well, this probably all of us when we start out. We are probably immature and over-trusting, too emotional or aggressive. We are unsure of ourselves and want to be liked by everyone. Good negotiators learn fast, pool negotiators remain like that and go on losing negotiations,W: In your opinion, can the skills of negotiation be taught? M: Well, you can teach someone how to prepare for negotiation. There perhaps six stages in every negotiation, get to know the other side, stay your goals, start the process, clarify there is a disagreement or conflict, reassess your position, making acceptable compromise, and finally reach some agreements and principals. These stages can be studied, and strategies to be used in each can be planned before-hand. But I think the really successful negotiator is probably born with the sixth sense that may respond properly to the situation at hand.W: The artistic sense you just described?M: Yes, that’s right12. What’s the man say about good negotiators?13. What does the man say, maybe the most important thing to a successful negotiator?14. How is a good negotiator different from a poor one?15. What’s the first stage of a negation according to the man?Passage OneSome people wonder why countries spend millions of dollars on space projects. They want to know how space research helps people on earth. Actually, space technology helps people on earth every day. This is called spin-off technology. Spin-off technology is space technology that is now used on earth. In early space programs, such as the Apollo missions of the 1960s and 1970s and in the space shuttle missions today, scientists developed objects for the astronauts to use on the moon and in space. We now use some of these objects every day. For example, we have quartz crystal clocks and watches accurate to within one minute a year. We purify the water we drink with the water filter designed for the astronauts to use inspace. The cordless hand held tools we use in our homes, such as vacuum cleaners, flashlights, drills came from the technology of these early space programs. On cold winter days, we can stay warm with battery-operated gloves and socks, especially made coats and jackets. All the clothes are similar to the space suits designs that kept astronauts comfortable in the temperatures of the moon, in our spin offs from space technology. These products are only a few examples of the many ways space technology helps us in our everyday lives. No one knows how new spin off technology from the international space station will help us in the future.16. What do some people want to know about space exploration?17. What did scientist do for the space shuttle missions?18. What does the speaker say about the quartz crystal clocks and watches?Passage TwoWell, if I could get back in history and live, I'd like to get back to the 18th century and perhaps in colonial America in Yankee new England where one of my ancestors lived, because it was the beginning of something. By the 18th century, there was a feeling of community that had grown. My ancestor was the preacher traveling around countryside. People lived in small communities. It was fisherman and farmers who provided fresh food that tasted and looked like food. Unlike today’s supermarkets, and there were small towns and New York wasn't that far away. I'm deeply attached to the puritan tradition not in a religious sense. But they believed in working for something, working for goals. And I like that. They worked hard at whatever they did, but they had a sense of achievement. They believed in goodness, in community, and helping one another. I love the colonial fabrics or the silver works, the furnishings, the combination of elegance simplicity. I'd love it. The printing, the books, I’m very attached to all that kind of thing. That may not all be very entertaining in the modern sense of the world, but I would have enjoyed spending my evenings in that environment, discussing newideas, building a new world, and I can see myself sitting on a small chair by the fire doing needle work.19. Why does the speaker say she would like to go back and live in the 18th century America?20. What does the speaker say about the Puritans?21. What would the speaker like doing if she could go back to the past?Passage threeIf you are lost in the woods, a little knowledge concerned with some people called a hardship into an enjoyable stay away from the troubles of modern society. When you think you're lost,sit down on the log or rock, or lean against the tree, and recite something you are memorized to bring your mind to the point where is under control. Don’t run blindly if you must move, don't follow stream unless you know it, and in that case you're not lost. Streams normally flow through wide land before theyreach a lake or river though there are more eatable plants, there may also be wild animals, poisonous snakes, and other hazards. Many experts feel it is the wisest to walk up hill. At the top of most hills and mountains are trails living back to civilizations. If there are no trails, you're much easier to be seen on top of the hill. And you may even spot the highway or railroad from this point. Nowadays, the first way some of you search for you is by air. In the wide lands or in dense grass, we're very hard to spot. Anytime you are going to the woods, somebody should know where you're going, and when you are expected to return, also when someone comes to looking, you should be able to signal to them.22. What does the speaker advise you to do first if you are lost in the woods?23. What will happen if you follow an unknown stream in the woods?24. What do many experts think is the wisest thing to do if you're lost in the woods?25. What should you do before you go into the woods?参考答案：1. D) Her little brother.2. B) By selling lemonade and pictures.3. B) Providing clean energy to five million people.4. C) They can be laid right on top of existing highways.5. C) Endless fighing in the region.6. D) To find evidence of the lions'disappearance.7. A) Lions'tracks.8. D) Her "lucky brithday".9. A) Threw her a superise party.10. C) The trip her husband has planned.11.B)He is eager to learn how the couple's holiday turns out.12.D)They are sensitive to the dynamics of a negotiation.13.A)They know when to stop.14.B)They learn quickly.15.C)Get to konw the other side.16.A)How space research benefits people on Earth17.C)They developed objects for astronauts to use in outer space.18.B)They are extremely accurate.19.C)It marked the beginning of something new.20.D)They believed in working for goals.21.B)Doing needlework by the fire.22.A)Sit down and try to calm yourself.23.C)You may expose youself to unexpected dangers.24.A)Walk uphill.25.D)Inform somebody of your plan.听力第二套参考答案：1.

英语专业四级考试答案ListeningPART I DICTATIONThink Positively and Feel PositivelyAre you confident or insecure in a difficult situation?Do you react positively or negatively?The answer may depend in part on whom you are around.A study found that negative thinking can be contagious in some cases. For example，the researchers studied 103 college roommates. They measured each roommate’s tendency towards negative thinking. It was found that thinking patterns can be contagious. Students with a negative thinking roommate became more depressed themselves and students with more positive thinking roommates were more likely to become more positive as well.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A TALK1. success2. challenging settings3.

Parents claim that by doing so，they can save a lot of money born of busy school holidays. Educational officials strongly oppose this tendency on the ground that it encourages truancy，which in turn damages a child’s education. From my perspective，the merits of banning term-time holidays outweigh its demerits.To begin with，taking tough measures on this kind of truancy is conducive to the normal teaching process，one of the key elements to guarantee kid’s academic performance. As we know，currently，teachers have the discretion to approve a certain time of absence from school for each child，which is supposed to be for illness and is not supposed to be granted for holidays. By definitely abolishing the right of head teachers to “authorize absence” from the classroom，thoseteachers can rarely be pestered by parents who want to take children to go on a holiday just to save money，which severely disrupts teaching process. What ‘s more，without strict penalties imposed on the parents who lead to their kid’s playing truant，those parents can gradually view asking for holiday leave as a right. Once this cultural expectation is formed，the level of truancy will dramatically increase.Accordingly，the growing trend of term-time holidays should be banned with no delay. In this way，teachers can impart knowledge without disturbance and parents will be deterred from saving money at the expense of sacrificing their kid’s education.专四听力原文PART I DICTATIONThink Positively and Feel PositivelyAre you confident or insecure in a difficult situation?Do you react positively or negatively?The answer may depend in part on whom you are around.A study found that negative thinking can be contagious in some cases.

Students with a negative thinking roommate became more depressed themselves and students with more positive thinking roommates were more likely to become more positive as well.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A TALKWhat is Grit?Good morning，everyone. Today I would like to talk about my recent research project，concerning the key to success. I would like to start my topic with my own story.When I was 27 years old，I left for a demanding job - teaching seventh graders math in the New York City public schools. And like any teacher，I made quizzes and tests. I gave out homework assignments. When the work came back，I calculated grades.What struck me was that I.Q. was not the only difference between my best and my worst students. Some of my strongest performers did not have super I.Q. scores. Some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well.And I felt interested in knowing the reason why the students’ math performance is not that closely related to their IQ scores. I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of challengingsettings，and in every study my question was，who is successful here and why?My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy. We tried to predict which students would stay in military training and which would drop out. We went to the National Spelling Contest and tried to predict which children would advance furthest in competition. We worked with private companies，asking，which of these sales people is going to keep their jobs?And who's going to earn the most money?We went to many places. And finally，one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. And it wasn't social intelligence. It wasn't good looks，physical health，and it wasn't I.Q. It was grit. What is grit?Well，grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. Grit is sticking with your future，day in，day out，not just for the week，not just for the month，but for years，and working really hard to make future a reality. Grit is living your life like it's a marathon，not a sprint.A few years ago，I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools. I asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires，and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate. It turned out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate，even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure，things like family income，test scores，and so on. To me，the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know，how little science knows，about building it. Every day，parents and teachers asked me，"How do I build grit in kids?How do I keep them motivated for the long run?" Our data show very clearly that there are many talented individuals who simply do not follow through on their commitment. In fact，in our data，grit is usually unrelated to measures of talent.So far，the best idea I've heard about building grit in kids is something called "growth mindset." Growth mindset is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed，that it can change with your effort. Kids with grit are much more likely to persevere when they fail，because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition.So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. But we need more. And that's where I'm going to end my talk，because that's where we are. That's the work that stands before us. We have to be willing to fail，to be wrong，to start over again with lessons learned.As a conclusion，we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier. Next time，I would like to share with you my experience in building up students’ grit.Section BConversation OneW：Hello，this is Kate Smith. I’m calling from ABC Company.M：Oh，hello，Kate. Great to hear from you.W：You’ve already been told that you’ve been short-listed for interview.M：Oh，yes.W：W ell we’re very excited about meeting you. Ok，I just want to talk you through the procedure for the day. Someone will meet you when you arrive，and then bring you up to meet myself and Arthur Miller，the CEO.M：Ok sounds good. So will you be the only members of the interview panel there then?W：Yes，it’ll be just me and Arthur who will talk to you. The interview will be in three parts – first of all we’ll ask you some general questions about yourself and your educational andprofessional background，and then we’ll move on to specifics.M：Oh，er，Specifics?Well er，what kind of questions will you be asking?W：Well，it’ll be very similar to the personal statement you submitted with your CV - we’ll be expecting you to to give actual examples of problems you’ve faced and solved，and of what you feel are the major successes in your career so far.M：Ok well yeah，that sounds great –can’t wait！W：Then there’ll be a chance for you to ask us any questions - about the job itself，or ABC Company in general...M：Oh，erm，ok...I’ll think of something!W：After that，we’d like you to give a short presentation on how you see ABC as a company progressing，and how you see yourself taking us there.M：Ok so will I be expected to give like a formal style presentation?W：It can be as formal or informal as you like. There’ll be a computer and a data projector there available. If you need anything else，just let us know.M：Oh，erm ok，a presentation！I’ll think of something. I haven’t done one of those in a while... W：Is that all clear?M：Yes.W：Great，so，Daniel，I’ll see you at 11am，Thursday，next week.M：Ok，great. I look forward to meeting you！Thanks，bye.W：Bye.Questions 1 to 5 are based on Conversation One.Question 1：Why does the woman call the man?Question 2：What kind of questions can the man ask in an interview?Question 3：Which is the last part of the interview?Question 4：What might b e expected from the man’s presentation?Question 5：When is the interview scheduled?Conversation TwoW：It says a growing number of students are making a major hole from the minute they enter the real world，because they are already some of them，more than 100,000 dollars in debt. With usnow is Mark Spencer. He is the senior financial analyst from SBC Bank. Welcome to you.M：Thank you，nice to be with you.W：Now，I guess there are two kinds of debts，good debt and bad debt. Where does this go? M：Well，student loan debt is traditionally considered good debt，but the problem for many students and their families is that the cost of colleges has been going up at 6-8% a year，far faster than the income，far faster than the standard of living. That means debt’s taking on a bigger and bigger role in financing education.W：How much debt is too much debt for-for one student?M：Well，one guideline is that you look at the first-year salary in your field after graduation，and use that as a barometer，but even then…W：Is that right?M：Well，you are talking big payments even in that instance. For example，30,000 dollars’ worth of debt，if you are gonna repay that over 10 years，you are talking more than 300 dollars a month’s debt in payments every month for 10 years.W：But there are surely more than one way to get a loan for college. There are government programs，there are so many kinds of grants. What’s-what’s the best advice for people who are looking for these loans to try to keep themselves from going under?M：I understand that loans are just one way of college finance. Take advantage of the other opportunities，things like a college savings’ plan. Let-let you save on a tax advantage basis，so you can put money away in these accounts and withdraw tax-free to pay for that education. W：So it’s important to start early and that really reduces their reliance on debt later.M：Another thing. Leave no stone unturned，looking at grants，scholarships，even on campus jobs.I mean every dollar you get that way is seen as another dollar you don’t have to borrow later. W：The kinds of jobs that so many students，fresh off students，like to go into，eh——charitystuff，volunteer work. This debt is eliminating a lot of that，isn’t it?M：I think that’s the social cost，really，I mean，you know，when you consider that，you know，people may pass up a rewarding career and charitable work or a non-profit organization，because they have to get a higher salary some places else to pay off that debt.W：Yeah，that’s for sure. Mark Spencer，senior financial analyst from SBC Bank，Mark，good you could be here.M：Thank you.Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation TwoQuestion 6：What is the interview mainly about?Question 7：How does the cost of education change every year?Question 8：What is used to measure student loan debt as a guideline?Question 9：What is the advantage of joining a college savings’ plan?Question 10：What is the possible social cost of college loan?。

11.A Henpecked Husband and His WifeThere was once a large, fat woman who had a small, thin husband. He had a job in a big company and was given his weekly wages every Friday evening. As soon as he got home on Fridays, his wife used to make him give her all his money, and then she used to give him back only enough to buy his lunch in his company every day.One day, the small man came home very excited. He hurried into the living-room. His wife was listening to the radio and eating chocolates there.“You will never guess what happened to me to day, dear.” he said.He waited for a few seconds and then added, “I won ten thousand dollars on the lottery!”“That is wonderful! ” said his wife delightedly. But then she pulled a long face and added angrily, “But how could you afford to buy the ticket?Useful Words and Expressions:1. henpecked 怕老婆的，妻管严的2. lottery 彩票a great lottery 虚无缥缈的事3. pull a long face 拉下脸来have a face to say that脸皮厚得竟能讲出这种话12.A Young Man’s PromiseOne day, a young man was writing a letter to his girlfriend who lived just a few miles away in a nearby town. He was telling her how much he loved her and how wonderful he thought she was. The more he wrote the more poetic he became. Finally he said that in order to be with her, he would suffer the greatest difficulties, he would face the greatest dangers that anyone couldn’t imagine. In fact, to spend only one minute with her, he would swim across the widest river, he would enter the deepest forest, and he would fight against the fiercest animals with his bare hands.He finished the letter, signed his name and then suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to mention something quite important. So, in a postscript below his name, he added:“By the way, I’ll be over to see you on Wednesday night, if it doesn’t rain.”13.A Kind NeighborMr. and Mrs. Jones’ apartment was full of l uggage, packages, furniture and boxes. Both of them were very busy when they heard the doorbell ring. Mrs. Jones went to open it and she saw a middle-aged lady outside. The lady said she lived next door. Mrs. Jones invited her to come in and apologized bec ause there was no place for her to sit. “Oh, that’s OK.” said the lady. “I just come to welcome to your new home. As you know, in some parts of this city, neighbors are not friendly at all. They are some apartment houses where people don’t know any of thei r neighbors, not even the ones next door. But in this building, everyone is very friendly with everyone else. We are a big happy family. I am sure you will be very happy here.” Mr. and Mrs. Jones said, “But madam, we are not new dwellers in this apartment. We’ve lived here for two years. We are moving out tomorrow.”14.That Isn’t Our FaultMr. and Mrs. Williams got married when he was twenty-three, and she was twenty. Twenty-five years later, they had a big party, and a photographer came and took some photographs of them.Then the photographer gave Mrs. Williams a card and said, “They’ll be ready next Wednesday. You can get them from studio.”“No,” Mrs. Williams said, “please send them to us.”The photographs arrived a week later, but Mrs. Williams was not happy when she saw them. She got into her car and drove to the photographer’s studio. She went inside and said angrily, “You took some photographs of me and my husband last week, but I’m not going to pay for them.”“Oh, why not?” the photographer asked.“Because my husband looks like a monkey,” Mrs. Williams said.“Well,” the photographer answered, “that isn’t our fault. Why didn’t you think of that before you married him?”15.A Guide’s AnswerIn 1861, the Civil War started in the United States between the Northern and the Southern states. The war continued with great bitterness until 1865, when the Northerners were victorious. However, even today, many Southerners have not forgotten their defeat, or forgiven the Northerners.A few years ago, a party of American tourists were going round one of the battlefields of the Civil War with a guide who came from one of the Southern states. At each place, the guide told the tourists stirring stories about how a few Southern soldiers had conquered powerful forces of Northerners there.At last, one of the tourists, a lady who came from the North, stopped the guide and said to him, “ But surely that the Northern army must have won at least one victory in the Civil War?”“Not as long as I’m the guide here, madam,” answered the Southern guide.16.A Qualified PilotThe captain of a small ship had to go along a rocky coast, but he was unfamiliar with it, so he tried to find a qualified pilot to guide him. He went ashore in one of the small ports, and a local fisherman pretended that he was a pilot because he needed some money. The captain took him on board and asked him where to steer the ship.After half an hour, the captain began to suspect that the fisherman did not really know what he was doing and where he was going.“Are you sure you are a qualified pilot?” he asked.“Oh, yes,” answered the fisherman. “I know every rock on this part of the coast.”Suddenly there was a terrible crash from under the ship. At once the fisherman added, “And that’s one of them.”17.Living Things ReactYou and all organisms live an environment. An environment is made up of everything thatsurrounds an organism. It can include the air, the water, the soil, and even other organisms.An organism responds to changes in its environment. When an organism responds to a change, it reacts in certain ways. All living things respond in some way.Have you ever noticed how plants and insects respond to light? Plants bend toward light. Insects fly toward light.Living things also respond in other ways. The leaves on some trees respond to a change in season. In autumn, they change colors and then fall off the branches Animals also respond to a change in season. Squirrels save nuts for the winter. Bears sleep through the winter in a cave.You respond to your environment in many ways, too. You may shiver if you are cold. What other ways do you respond to changes in your environment?18.Flowering PlantsWhat are the parts of a flower?Flowers can have male parts and female parts. The female parts make eggs that become seeds. The male parts make pollen. Pollen is a powdery material that is needed by the eggs to make seeds. To make seeds, pollen and eggs must come together. The wind, insects, and birds bring pollen to eggs. Many animals love flowers’ bright colors. T hey also like a sugary liquid in flowers. This is called nectar. While they drink nectar, pollen rubs off on their bodies. As they move, some of this pollen gets delivered to the female flower parts.Over time, the female parts turn into fruits that contain seeds. Animals often eat the fruits and the seeds pass through their bodies as waste. The animals do no know they are working for the plants by planting seeds as they travel to different places!Useful words and Expressions:1. flowering 开花的2. pollen 花粉3. powdery 粉状的4. sugar 含糖的，甜的5. nectar花蜜，甘露6. rub 磨擦19.Finding the Direction and LocationHow can you tell which direction? By day, look for the Sun. It is in the east in the morning and the west in the afternoon. At night, use the Big Dipper to help you find the North Star. It would be better to bring a compass because its needle always points north.How do you know how far you have gone? You could count every step. Each step is about two feet. You’d better wear a pedometer which is a tool that coun ts steps. If you know where you started, which direction you are heading, and how far you have gone, you can use a good map to figure out exactly where you are.Today there is a new way for travelers to figure out where they are. It is the GPS. It has 24 satellites that orbit the earth and constantly broadcast their positions. Someday you may carry a small receiver as you hike and use GPS to find out if you are there yet!Useful Words and Expressions:1. dipper北斗七星2. compass 罗盘3. pedometer 步数计4. GPS= Global Position System全球定位系统5. orbit 轨道，绕……轨道而行6. receiver 接收器20.WavesHow does light get from the sun to the earth? How does music get from the stage to the audience? They move the same way-----in waves!Light and sound are forms of energy. All waves carry energy, but they may carry it differently. Light and sound travel through different kinds of matter. For example, light waves cannot move through walls, but sound waves can. That is why you can hear people talking in another room even though you cannot see them. The energy of some waves is destructive. An earthquake produces seismic waves.Catch a wave. Ask a friend to stand a few feet away from you. Stretch a spring between you. Shake the spring to transfer energy to it. What happens? The spring bounces up and down in waves. When the waves reach your friend, they bounce back to you!Light waves travel 300,000 kilometers (186,000 miles) per second! They can also travel through a vacuum. That is why light from the sun and distant stars can travel through space to the earth!Useful Words and Expressions;1. destructive 破坏的2. seismic地震的3. vacuum真空21.SoilsThere are many different kinds of soils. Different soils have different types of rock and minerals in them. Some soils have more water in them than others. Some soils might have more plant and animal material in them, too.Different kinds of soils are found in different parts of the world. There are several kinds of soils found in the United States. In some areas, the soil has a lot of clay. Other soils are very sandy. Loam is a kind of soil that has a good mixture of clay and sand.In some places, soil layers are very thick. Lots of plants grow in places with a thick soil layer. In dry and windy places soil layers are much thinner. Layers of soil on mountains are thin because gravity pulls the soil downhill.The type of soil in a particular place affects what kinds of plants can grow there.Useful Words:1. clay 黏土，泥土2. loam 肥土3. layer 层4. gravity 地心引力，重力5. downhill 往下。

英语专业四级听力50篇1.Town and Country Life in EnglandThere is a big difference between town life and country life in England. In the country, everybody knows everybody else. They know what time you get up, what time you go to bed and what you have for dinner. If you want help, you will always get it and you will be glad to help others.In a large town like London, however, it can sometimes happen that you have never seen your next door neighbor and you do not know his name or anything about him. People in London are often very lonely. This is because people go to different places in the evenings and at weekends. If you walk through the streets in the centre of London on Sunday, it is like a town without people. One is sorry for old people living on their own. They could die in their homes and would not be discovered for weeks or even months.2.A Change in Women’s LifeThe important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took afull-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marryyounger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.3.A Popular Pastime of the English PeopleOne of the best means of understanding the people of any nation is watching what the do with their non-working time.Most English men, women and children love growing things, especially flowers. Visitors to England in spring, summer or autumn are likely to see gardens all they way along the railway lines. There are flowers at the airports and flowers in factory grounds, as well as in gardens along the roads. Each English town has at least one park with beautifully kept flower beds. Public buildings of every kind have brilliant window boxes and sometimes baskets of flowers are hanging on them.But what the English enjoy most is growing things themselves. If it is impossible to have a garden, then a window box or something growing in a pot will do. Looking at each other’s gardens is a popular pastime with the English.Useful Words and Expressions:1. window box:窗台上的花盆箱2.pastime 消遣，娱乐Swimming is my favorite pastime.4.British and American Police OfficersReal policemen, both in Britain and the U.S., hardly recognize any common points between their lives and what they se on TV—if they ever get home in time.Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them much of them.The first difference is that a policeman’s real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what’s more, he has to put it into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to.Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty--- or not of stupid, unimportant crimes.Useful Words and Expressions:1. think much of 重视，尊重2. in court 在法庭上3. criminal 罪犯，犯罪者4. guilty 犯罪的，有罪的5.Living SpaceHow much living space does a person need? What happens when his space needs are not met? Scientists are doing experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have enough living space, they eat well, sleep well and produce their young well. But if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior and even their health change obviously. They can not sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and worry become clear. The more crowded they are, and more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus, for rats, populations and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is enough space not only satisfactory, but necessary for human survival? These are interesting questions.6 The United NationsIn 1945, representatives of 50 nations met to plan this organization. It was called the United Nations. After the war, many more nations joined. There are two major parts of the United Nations. One is called the General Assembly. In the General Assembly, every member nation is represented and has an equal vote.The second part is called the Security Council. It has representatives of just 15 nations. Five nations are permanent members: the United States, Russia, France, Britain, and China. The 10 other members are elected every two years by the General Assembly.The major job of the Security Council is to keep peace in the world. If necessary, it can send troops from member nations to try to stop little wars before they turn into big ones.It is hard to get the nations of the Security Council to agree on when this is necessary. But they did vote to try to stop wars.Useful Words and Expressions:1. representative 代表2. General Assembly 联合国大会3. permanent 永久的，持久的4. Security Council 联合国安全理事会7 PlasticWe use plastic wrap to protect our foods. We put our garbage in plastic bags or plastic cans. We sit on plastic chairs, play with plastic toys, drink from plastic cups, and wash our hair with shampoo from plastic bottles! Plastic does not grow in nature. It is made by mixing certain things together. We call it a produced or manufactured material. Plastic was first made in the 1860s from plants, such as wood and cotton. That plastic was soft and burned easily.The first modern plastics were made in the 1930s. Most clear plastic starts out as thick, black oil. That plastic coating inside a pan begins as natural gas.Over the years, hundreds of different plastics have been developed. Some are hard and strong. Some are soft and bendable. Some are clear. Some are many-colored. There is a plastic for almost every need. Scientists continue to experiment with plastics. They hope to find even ways to use them!8 Display of GoodsAre supermarkets designed to persuade us to buy more?Fresh fruit and vegetables are displayed near supermarket entrances. This gives the impression that only healthy food is sold in the shop. Basic foods that everyone buys, like sugar and tea, are not put near each other. They are kept in different aisles so customers are taken past otherattractive foods before they find what they want. In this way, shoppers are encouraged to buy products that they do not really need.Sweets are often placed at children’s eye level at the checkout. While parents are waiting to pay, children reach for the sweets and put them in the trolley.More is bought from a fifteen-foot display of one type of product than from a ten-foot one. Customers also buy more when shelves are full than when they are half empty. They do not like to buy from shelves with few products on them because they feel there is something wrong with those products that are there.Useful Words and Expressions:1. aisle 走廊，过道2. trolley 手推车3. checkout 收款台9 Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein was born in Germany in 1879, His father owned a factory that made electrical devices. His mother enjoyed music and books. His parents were Jewish but they did not observe many of the re ligion’s rules. Albert was a quite child who spent much of his time alone. He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read. When Albert was five years old,his father gave him a compass. The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction—to be north. He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move. Their answers about magnetism and gravity were difficult for the boy to understand. Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them. He said later that he felt something hidden had to be behind things.Useful expressions and words:1. device 装置，设备leave to one’s own devices 听任某人自行其是，允许某人按自己的意愿做事She left the child to her own devices for an hour in the afternoon.她允许孩子在下午有一个小时的自由支配时间。

Recently, university students around the world were asked to volunteer in a global experiment called Unplugged. It was designed tosee how young people would react if they were asked to observe a total media ban by unplugging all forms of media devices for 24 hours. The experiment is now over but the full findings haven't yet been known. However, during the experiment, Dr. Gerodimos said there were already signs of how much the exercise affected volunteers. During their 24 hour experiment, a BBC reporter plus cameraman followed them around for the day. They were asked to write down 100 lines about their day offline. The words revealed how they are influenced. Elliot was surprised by how empty her life was without the radio or newspapers despite being aware of the social importance of the media. Being deprived of the media for 24 hours, Caroline Scott thinks her day-to-day activities become so much harder to carry out than usual. Charlotte Gay even thinks the most difficult item is to be without her mobile phone because it is not only a social tool but her main access point of communication.

Since this is new for many, some tips are certainly useful. If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably they will enjoy the experience. If you will be eating a good deal alone, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be muchbetter for your digestion. You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, you should think about your travel needs as a business woman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed. Take a folding case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on the trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can keep currently required papers separate.

The news was about a prize for some scientific discovery. The announcer, Ralph Story, said, "All great discoveries are made by people between the ages of 25 and 30." Being a little over 30 myself, I wanted to disagree with him. The next day, I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the ages of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right. First, I looked at some of the scientific discoveries. The famous experiment that proved that bodies of different weights fall at the same speed was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madame Curie started her research that led to a Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world changing theory of relativity.Well, enough of that. Then how about the field of politics? Surely it took the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it does, but look when these people started their careers. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln gave up the life of a country lawyer and was elected to the government at what age? 26! But why don't best years come after 30? After 30, I guess, most people do not want to take risks or try a new way. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the age of 50, while the latter was still trying new ways of painting when he was 90! Perhaps there is still hope for me.What did the speaker do to prove Ralph was wrong?(2).A．He doubts more strongly about Ralph's words.B．He is sure that he is right to disagree with Ralph.C．He is not sure whether Ralph is right or wrong.D．He believes what Ralph said.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D. √解析：[听力原文]What is the speaker's opinion about Ralph's statement after his research?(3).A．People can be creative at all ages but the young are better.B．People aged between 20 and 25 are more creative.C．People cannot make useful discoveries when becoming old.D．Old people cannot make scientific discoveries.（分数：3.00）A. √B.C.D.解析：[听力原文]What does the speaker agree with according to the passage?(4).A．Not too bad. B．Very excited. C．A little angry. D．Rather disappointed.（分数：3.00）A. √B.C.D.解析：[听力原文]How does the speaker most probably feel about himself in the end?四、Section C(总题数：1，分数：25.00)England still has a system which it's had since the Second World War.

They lived in Chicago when my grandfather worked making ice cream. Mama thrived in the urban environment. At 16, she graduated first in her high school class, went onto secretarial school, and finally worked as an executive secretary for a railroad company. She was beautiful too. When a local photographer used her pictures in his monthly window display, she felt pleased. Her favorite portrait showed her sitting by Lake Michigan, her hair went blown, her gaze reaching toward the horizon. My parents were married in 1944. Dad was a quiet and intelligent man. He was 17 when he left Italy. Soon after, a hit-and-run accident left him with a pemp3anentlimp. Dad worked hard selling candy to Chicago office workers on their break. He had little fomp3al schooling. His English was self-taught. Yet he eventually built a small successful wholesale candy business. Dad was generous and handsome. Mama was devoted to him. After she married, my mother quit her job and gave herself to her family. In 1950, with three small children, dad moved the family to a famp3 40 miles from Chicago. He worked land and commuted to the city to run his business. Mama said goodbye to her parents and friends, and traded her busy city neighborhood for a more isolated life. But shenevercomplained.26 What does the speaker tells us about his mother's early childhood?27 What do we learn about the speaker' s father?28 What does the speaker say about his mother?P2During a 1995 roof collapse, a firefighter named Donald Herbert was left brain damaged. veduchina For ten years, he was unable to speak. Then, one Saturday morning, he did something that shocked his family and doctors. He started speaking. " I want to talk to my wife." Donald Herbert said out of the blue. Staff members of the nursing home where he has lived for more than seven years, raced to get Linda Herbert on the telephone. "It was the first of many conversations the 44-year-old patient had with his family and friends during the 14 hour stretch" Herbert' s uncle Simon Menka said. "How long have I been away?" Herbert asked. "We told him almost ten years," the uncle said, "he thought it was only three months." Herbert was fighting a house fire December 29,1995 when the roof collapsed, burying him underneath. After going without air for several minutes, Herbert was unconscious for two and a half months and has undergone therapy ever since. News accounts in the days and years after his injury, described Herbert as blind and with little if any memory. A video shows him receiving physical therapy but apparently unable to communicate and with little awareness of his surroundings. Menka declined to discuss his nephew' s current condition or whether the apparent progress is continuing. "The family was seeking privacy while doctors evaluated Herbert" , he said. As word of Herbert' s progress spread, visitors streamed into the nursing home. "He' s resting comfortably," the uncle told them.29 What happened to Herbert ten years ago?30 What surprised Donald Herbert' s family and doctors one Saturday?31 How long did Herbert remain unconscious?32 How did Herbert' s family react to the public attention?P3Almost all slates in America have a state fair. They last for one, two or three weeks. veduchina The Indiana state fair is one of the largest and oldest state fairs in USA. It is held every summer. It started in 1852. Its goals were to educate, share ideas, and present Indiana' s best products. The cost of a single ticket to enter the fair was 20 cents. During the early 1930* s, officials of the fair ruled that the people could attend by paying with something other than money. For example, famp3ers brought a bag of grain in exchange for a ticket. With the passage of time, the fair has grown and changed a lot, but it' s still one of Indiana' s most celebrated events. People from all over Indiana and from many other states attend the fair. They can do many things al the fair. They can watching the judging of the price cows, pigs, and other animals; they can see sheep getting their wool cut, and they can learn how that wool is made into clothing; they can watch cows giving birth. In fact, people can learn about the animals they would see except at the fair. The fair provides a chance for the famp3ing communities to show its skills and famp3ing products. For example, visitors might see the world' s largest apple, or the tallest sunflower plant. Today, children and adults at the fair can play new computer games, or attend more traditional games of skill. They can watchperfomp3ances perfomp3ed by famous entertainers. Experts say such fairs are important, because people need to rememberthat they' re connected to the earth and its products, and they depend on animals for many things.33. What were the main goals of the Indiana' s state fair when it started?34. How did some famp3ers gain the entrance to the fair in the early 1930's?35. Why state fairs are important events in the America?复合式听写原文Students' pressure sometimes comes from their parents. Most parents are well meaning, but some of them aren' i very helpful with the problems their sons and daughters have in adjusting to college. And a few of them seem to go out of their way to add to their children' s difficulties. For one thing, parents are often not aware of the kinds of problems their children face. They don' t realize that the competition is keener, that the required standards of work are higher, and that their children may not be prepared for the change. Accustomed to seeing A' sandB' s on the high school report cards, they may be upset when their children' s first semester college grades are below that level. At their kindest, they may gently inquire why John or Mary isn' t doing better, whether he or she is trying as hard as he or she should, and so on. At their worst, they may threaten to take their children out of college, or cut off funds. Sometimes parents regard their children as extensions of themselves, and think it only right and natural that they determine what their children do with their lives. In their involvement and identification with their children, they forget that everyone is different, and that each person must develop in his or her own way. They forget that their children, who are now young adults, must be the ones responsible for what they do and what they are.。

W: I bet they were frozen. M: What? W: The fish sticks. M: Of course they were frozen. We are hundreds of miles from the Ocean. The cafeteria can't afford to fly in fresh fish. W: I just mentioned it because an anecdote Professor Chambers told me in my American social history class this morning. M: He talked about fish sticks? W: Not exactly. But he did talk about frozen fish. OK, this is back in 1912, right? It's 20 degrees below zero. And this guy Clarence Birdseye's out ice-fishing. M: Where is this, Antarctica?
