英语听力短文训练材料

【导语】在英语听⼒⾥，短⽂听⼒是难度较⼤的⼀种，因此，考⽣可以在⽇常的英语听⼒⾥多进⾏⼀些短⽂听⼒，强化⾃⼰这⽅⾯的英语听⼒能⼒。

下⾯是分享的英语听⼒短⽂训练材料。

欢迎阅读参考！1.英语听⼒短⽂训练材料《酸奶》 When you open a container of yogurt, you’ll often see liquid collected on top. Some people mix it back into the yogurt, and others drain it off. What is it, and where does it come from? 打开⼀盒酸奶，你常常会发现有⼀层液体浮在表⾯。

有的⼈把它拌⼊酸奶中，有的⼈则将这层液体倒掉。

这层液体究竟是什么东西，它⼜是从哪来的呢? To solve the mystery of the liquid in yogurt, let’s take a few steps back, to the milk that yogurt is made of. Milk has two different types of proteins. Most of the proteins are casein proteins, and the rest are whey proteins–of curds and whey fame. 为了揭开酸奶中这层液体的神秘⾯纱，让我们往回追溯，去看看制作酸奶的原料—⽜奶。

⽜奶有两种不同类型的蛋⽩质。

⼤部分蛋⽩质是酪蛋⽩，其余是乳清蛋⽩，包括凝质和乳清。

If you look at a glass of milk, you can’t tell the casein from the whey. But that changes when special bacteria are added to milk to make yogurt. Yogurt-producing bacteria ferment the sugars in milk and produce an acid. As a result, the mixture is more acidic than before, and this higher acidity solidifies the casein proteins. The whey proteins, on the other hand, don’t solidify, and separate out from the casein as liquid. 单单看⼀杯⽜奶，我们是⽆法从中分辨出酪蛋⽩和乳清的。

英语听力50篇文本

听写50篇文本Passage 1 Town and Country Life in England There 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. (154 words.)Passage 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 a full-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 marry younger, 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 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 on each of them. (154 words)Passage 3 A Popular Pastime of the English People One of the best means of understanding the people of any nation is watching what they 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 the 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 widow box or something growing in a pot will do. Looking at each other’s gardens is a popular pastime with the English. (144words.)Passage 4 British and American Police Officers Real policemen, both in Britain and the U.S., hardly recognize any common points between their lives and what they see on TV—if they ever get home in time.Some things are about the same, of course, but the policemen do not think 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 a nd, 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. (177words)Passage 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, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus, for rats, population 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.(147 words)Passage 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. (156 words)Passage 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 doesn’t 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 1930s. Most clear plastic starts out asthick, 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! (160 words)Passage 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 other attractive 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 a 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. (166 words)Passage 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 religion’s rules. Albert was a quiet 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 the 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. (143 words.)Passage 10 Private CarsWith the increase in the general standard of living, some ordinary Chinese families begin to afford a car. Yet opinions of the development of a private car vary from person to person.It gives a much greater degree of comfort and mobility. The owner of a car is no longer forced to rely on public transport, and hence no irritation caused by waiting for buses or taxis. However, others strongly object to developing private cars. They maintain that as more and more cars are produced and run in the street, a large volume of poisonous gas will be given off, polluting the atmosphere and causing actual harm to the health of people.Whether private cars should be developed in China is a difficult question to answer, yet the desire for the comfort and independence a private car can bring will not be eliminated.(143words)Passage 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 today, 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?” (148 words)Passage 12 A Young Man’s PromiseOne day a young man was writing a letter to his girl friend 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 could 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.” (154 words)Passage 13 A Kind NeighborMr. and Mrs. Jones’ apartment was full of luggage, package, 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 because there was no place for her to sit. “Oh, that’s OK,” said the lady. “I just come to welcome you to your new home. As you know, in some parts of this city neighbors are not friendly at all. There are some apartment houses where people don’t know any of their neighbors, not even the ones next door. But in this building everyone is very friendly with everyone else. We are like one big happy family. I’m sue you’ll be very happy here. ” Mr. and Mrs. Jones said, “But madam, we are not new dwellers in this department. We’ve lived her for two years. We’re moving out tomorrow. ” (163 words)Passage 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 Wedne sday. You can get them from studio.”“No,” Mrs. William said, “Please send them to us.”The photographs arrived a week later, but Mrs. Williams was not happy when shesaw them. She got into her car and drove to the photographer’s studio. She went inside a nd 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. William said.“Well,” the photographer answered, “that isn’t our fault. Why didn’t you think of that before you married him?” (148 words)Passage 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 battlefield 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 surly 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.(147 words)Passage 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.” (138 words)Passage 17 Living Things ReactYou and all organisms live in an environment. An environment is made up of everything that surrounds an organism. It can include the air, the water, the soil, and even other organism.An organism responds to changes in its environment. When an organism responds to a change, it reacts in a 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? (156 wordsPassage 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. They 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 not know they are working for the plants by planting seeds as they travel to different places. (147 words)Passage 19 Finding the Direction and Location How 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 counts 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!Passage 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.(175 words)Passage 21 SoilsThere are many different kinds of soils. Different soils have different types of rock and minerals in them than other. 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. (150 words)Passage 22 CrisisLife is a contest! Who will win? A bluebird and sparrow both compete for space to build their nests. A fast-growing maple tree and slower-growing dogwood compete for the sunlight they both need. Oil competes with coal and nuclear power as an energy source for electric power plants.There is a problem. There is a limited amount of space for birds, sunlight for trees, and energy for people! If we do not cut back on our uses of some of our resources, someday they will be gone!How can we use energy today and know we will have enough to go around in the future? We can choose alternate, or replacement, energy resources. It takes the earth millions of years to create coal, oil, and gas. They are nonrenewable resources.Solar energy, wind energy and water energy are renewable. What other ways we conserve our resources? How can we make sure there is always enough to go around? (159 words.)Passage 23 America’s Worst SurpriseDecember 7, 1941 was one of the worst days in American history. Nearly all Americans who are old enough to remember that day can still remember what they were doing at the moment they heard “the news”. The news was that America had been attacked!Shortly before 2:00 P.M., a radio dispatch came into Washington from Honolulu, Hawaii. “Air Raid, Pearl Harbor —This is no drill.” Japanese planes had begun an attack on the largest American military base in the Pacific. They first destroyed places on the ground. Then they bombed the ships in the harbor.No one had expected the attack. So no one was prepared for it. And it did not take long for the Japanese to do their damage. When the smoke cleared, the Navy counted its losses. Eighteen ships had been sunk or badly damaged. Nearly 150 planes had been destroyed. More than 2,400 Americans had been killed and more than 1,200 wounded. (157 words)Passage 24 Great Depression in the U.S.In 1929, the bills started to come in. American industry had produced too many goods. Americans could not afford to buy all of them. So factories had to cut down on their production. Many workers lost their jobs. Investors tried to get their moneyback. But businesses did not have enough money to pay them. Banks tried to get their money back from investors. But the investors could not pay, either. Too many people owned money. And few of them could pay their bills.During the next few years, business got worse and worse. By 1932, banks all over the country were closing.People without money could not buy goods. So more businesses closed. More and more people lost their jobs. By 1932, more than 12 million Americans were jobless. Millions more were earning barely enough to live on. The country was in a great depression they had never experienced before. (151 words)Passage 25 A Place of Our OwnWe are all usually very careful when we buy something for the house. Why? Because we have to live with it for a long time. We paint a room to make it brighter, so we choose the colours carefully.We buy new curtains in order to match the newly decorated room, so they must be the right colour. We move the furniture round so as to make more space — or we buy new furniture — and so on. It is an endless business.Rich or poor, we take time to furnish a room. Perhaps some people buy furniture in order to impress their friends. But most of us just want to enjoy our surroundings. We want to live as comfortably as we can afford to. We spend a large part of our lives at home. We want to make a small corner in the world which we can recognize as oPassage 26 Travel for WorkYou can see them in every airport in the world. They are businessmen and women who have to travel for their work.When they first applied for the job, they may have thought of good food and hotels, huge expense accounts and fashionable cities. Now they have to sit in airport lounges, tired and uncomfortable in their smart clothes, listening to the loudspeaker announce “The flight to Tokyo, or Berlin, or New York is delayed for another two hours”. Some people say to me, “How lucky you are to be able to travel abroad in your work! You can go sightseeing without paying any money by yourself!” They think that my job is like a continual holiday. It is not.There are advantages, of course, and I do think I am lucky, but only because I can go to places I would never visit if I was a tourist. (149 words)Passage 27 IntelligenceAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience?Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus, the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, held by most experts now, can be supported in a number of ways. As is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.(154 words)Passage 28 A Free Dress Every WeekThe temptation to steal is greater than ever before especially in large shops and people are not so honest as they once were.A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it for her as quickly as possible. The woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter.. Believe it or not, the girl “gave” her mother a free dress every week. (148 words)Passage 29 TimeTime is tangible. One can gain time, spend time, waste time, save time, or even kill time. Common questions in American English reveal this concrete quality as though time were a possession. “Do you have any time?”, “Can you get some time for this?”, “How much free time do you have?” The treatment of time as a possession influences the way that time is carefully divided.Generally, Americans are taught to do one thing at a time and may be uncomfortable when an activity is interrupted. In businesses, the careful scheduling of time and the separation of activities are common practices. Appointment calendars are printed with 15-, 30-, and 60-min ute time slots. The idea that “there is a time and place for everything” extends to American social life. Visitors who drop by without prior notice may interrupt their host’s personal time. Thus, calling friends on the telephone before visiting them is gen erally preferred to visitors’ dropping by. (157 words)Passage 30 CartoonistIn a good cartoon, the artist can tell in a few lines as much as a writer can tell in half a dozen paragraphs. The cartoonist not only tells a story but he also tries to persuade the reader to his way of thinking. He has great influence on public opinion. In a political campaign, he plays an important part. Controversial issues in Congress or at meetings of the United Nations may keep the cartoonist well-supplies with current materials.A clever cartoonist may cause laughter because he often uses humour in his drawings. If he is sketching a famous person, he takes a prominent feature and exaggerates it. Cartoonists, for instance, like to lengthen an already long nose and to widen a n already broad grin. This exaggeration of a person’s characteristics is called caricature. The artist uses such exaggeration to put his message across. (144 words)Passage 31 Water PollutionWater is very important to us. Factories and plants need water for industrial uses and large pieces of farmland need it for irrigation. Without water to drink, people die in a short time.Today most water sources are so dirty that people must purify water beforedrinking. Water becomes dirty in many ways: industrial pollution is one of them. With the development of industry, plants and factories pour tons of industrial wastes into rivers every day. The rivers have become seriously polluted, and the water is becoming unfit for drinking or irrigation. The same thing has also happened to our seas and oceans. So, the problem of water pollution is almost worldwide.Scientists of many countries have done a lot of work to stop pollution. The polluted water in some places has become clean and drinkable again. Perhaps one day the people in all towns and cities will be drinking clean water. That day, we believe, is not very far off. (161 words)Passage 32 Making a ComplaintComplaining about faulty goods or bad services is never easy. But if something you have bought is faulty or does not do what was claimed for it, you are not asking for a favour to get it put right.Complaints should be made to a responsible person. Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, taking with you any receipt you may have. In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so you can complain direct. In a chain store, ask the manager. If you telephone, ask the name of the person who handles your enquiry, otherwise you may never find out who dealt with the complaint later. If you do not want to do it in person, write a letter. Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. At this stage you should give any receipt number, but you should not need to give receipt or other papers to prove you bought the article. (164 words)Passage 33 Where Do the British LiveNearly everyone in Britain would like to own their own home and, whether they do or not, they are prepared to put time and money into decorating and furnishing it or even making structural alterations to it. Because of the climate and because of the expense involved in going out for the evening, the British spend a lot of time at home and a large part of their social life takes place there.Young people tend to stay with their families longer these days as accommodation is expensive but, when they move away to a job or college, there are various options open to them. They can get lodgings with a landlady. This means that they rent a room in someone’s house and have breakfast with the family. They can also get a bed-sitting room, that is to say one self-contained room in which they can cook, live and sleep. Alternatively, they can share a rented flat or house with a group of young people, perhaps the most popular option of all. (172 words)Passage 34 Will Computer Replace Human Beings?We are in the computer age today. The computers are working all kinds of wonders now. They are very useful in automatic control and data processing. At the same time, computers are finding their way into the home. They seem to be so clever and can solve such complicated problems that some people think sooner or later they will replace us.But I do not think that there is such a possibility. My reason is very simple: Computers are machines, not humans. And our tasks are far too various and complicated for any one single kind of machine to perform.Probably the greatest difference between man and computer is that the former。

听力材料分类与难度等级

听力材料分类与难度等级随着全球英语教育的发展，听力考试成为了英语考试中不可或缺的一部分。

为了更好地组织听力教学和考试，听力材料的分类与难度等级成为了一个重要的问题。

本文将就这一话题展开论述。

一、听力材料分类根据不同的目的和使用范围，听力材料可以分为多个类别。

以下是一些常见的分类方式：1. 主题分类：根据材料所涉及的主题将其分类。

例如，旅游、教育、科技等。

2. 形式分类：根据材料的形式和内容将其分类。

例如，讲座、新闻报道、对话等。

3. 难度分类：根据材料的难易程度将其分类。

接下来将详细讨论此类别。

二、听力材料难度等级为了满足不同学习者的需求和评估学生听力水平，听力材料一般被划分为不同的难度等级。

以下是一些常见的听力材料难度等级：1. 初级水平：适合入门学习者，材料内容简单易懂，语速较慢，重点词汇和句子较少。

2. 中级水平：适合掌握一定基础的学习者，材料内容略复杂，语速适中，较多使用常见词汇和简短句子。

3. 高级水平：适合有一定英语听力能力的学习者，材料内容较复杂，语速较快，使用较多的高级词汇和长句。

不同等级的听力材料可以帮助学习者逐步提高听力技巧和语言运用能力。

在教学和考试中，学生可以按照自己的实际水平选择适当难度的材料进行学习和练习。

三、听力材料分类与难度等级的重要性听力材料的分类与难度等级对于教学和考试都具有重要意义。

首先，合理分类听力材料可以帮助教师更好地组织教学内容，根据学生的水平选择适当的材料进行教学。

这样可以提高教学效果，让学生在适当的挑战中不断进步。

其次，根据难度等级划分听力材料可以为学生提供明确的学习目标和评估标准。

学生可以根据自己的实际情况选择适合自己的等级进行学习，同时可以通过逐级挑战提高听力水平。

最后，将听力材料按照难度等级分类也方便了考试的组织和评估。

考试机构可以根据学生报名情况和需求，提供不同难度等级的听力材料供学生选择。

综上所述，听力材料的分类与难度等级在英语教学和考试中扮演着重要的角色。

听力材料的分类与特点

听力材料的分类与特点一、听力材料的分类在学习英语过程中，听力是必不可少的一项技能。

而对于听力材料的分类，我们可以从不同的角度进行划分。

1. 根据材料内容分类根据材料的内容，听力材料可以分为日常对话、新闻报道、学术讲座、广播节目等。

每种类型的听力材料都有其特定的表达方式和语言特点，对于学习者来说，需要针对不同类型的材料进行有针对性的训练。

2. 根据听力目的分类根据学习者的听力目的，听力材料可以分为考试听力、商务听力、英语口语听力等。

考试听力专注于培养学生的听力技巧和应试能力，商务听力则注重学习者在商务场景中的交流能力，而英语口语听力则针对学习者在日常生活中与外国人交流的需求。

3. 根据难度分类根据听力材料的难度，可以分为初级、中级和高级听力。

初级听力主要以简单的日常对话为主，中级听力则涵盖了更丰富的语言表达和主题，而高级听力则涉及较为复杂的学术讲座和专业领域的材料。

根据自身水平选择适当难度的听力材料是提高听力能力的有效途径。

二、听力材料的特点1. 涉及多样的语言表达方式听力材料中，学习者将接触到丰富多样的语言表达方式，例如自然对话、口音变化、语速快慢等。

这些不同的语言表达方式对于学习者来说，都需要进行适应和理解，从而提高对不同语言形式的识别和理解能力。

2. 语言信息瞬间流逝相比阅读和写作，听力材料的语言信息是瞬间流逝的。

学习者需要在有限的时间内对信息进行听取、理解和记忆，这对于英语学习者来说是一项挑战。

因此，提高听力技巧和速度的训练是必不可少的。

3. 信息的不完整与省略听力材料中，信息往往是不完整和省略的，这是为了模拟真实的语言环境。

学习者需要通过上下文的理解和推测来填补信息的空缺，从而准确地理解听力材料的意思。

4. 语音语调的变化听力材料中，语音语调的变化是很常见的。

例如，不同的发音、弱读、连读等，这些都给学习者带来困扰。

学习者需要通过大量的听力训练来熟悉并理解这些语音语调的变化。

5. 听力材料的真实性与阅读材料相比，听力材料更加贴近真实语言环境。

大学英语听力短文30篇材料

大学英语听力短文30篇材料cation in china today has been developing rapidly. In many provinces, it is compulsory and free. Most children start school at the age of six. They attend five years of elementary school and six years of high school. After graduation from high school, a student can start his higher education in a two-year college, a four-year college, a university or specialized professional school. Most colleges admit students on the basis of their entrance examination records. The cost of college education is not very high and the great part of it is met by their families. Those students can get support from their college. Many students receive scholarships from the school, the government or private foundations and organizations. The great progress has been made in China in the field of education. There is still a comparatively large part of population in the country who cannot read and write.2.Dreams are a product of the sleeper's mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams.Few events more than two days old turn up. Deep wishes or fears - especially those held since childhood- often appear in dreams, and many dreams fulfil such wishes. Events in the sleeper's surrounding- a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.Some dreams involve deep feelings that a person may not realize he has. Psychiatrists(精神病医生)often use material from a patient's dreams to help the person understand himself better.Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory, and emotional adjustment.( People who get plenty of sleep-but are awakened each time they begin to dream- become anxious and restless.)3.According to psychologists, an emotion is aroused when a man or animal view something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused, when we think something can help us.An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person's thoughts. Everyone has emotions, but many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions, but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.4. The issue of re-employment has emerged with large numbers of surplus labors having been laid off. There's no doubt that it would lead to endless trouble, if the surplus were not reorganized properly. In order to maintain social stability and secure people's normal living standards, it's essential to work out solutions to the problem. Solving the problem is a two-way operation, as far as governments and workers are concerned. On the one hand, the government at all levels should try every possible means to create a wide range of employment options open to laid-off workers. On the other hand, these workers ought not to sit idle and wait for opportunities to come. So long as they don't lose heart and constantly strive to better themselves, their futures will be bright5. Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child -- or even an animal, such as a pigeon -- can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face”looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind considerate, friendly and warm.6. Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It might be walking, cycling, or swimming , or in winter , skating or skiing . It might be a game of some kind—football, hockey, golf or tennis., or it might be mountaineering . Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship , and to take risks on high mountains ? This astonishment it probably caused by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team sport”. We should be mistaken in this . There are , it is true , no “matcher”between “teams”of climbers , however, when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend , there is obviously teamwork .7. An old man died and left his son a lot of money. But the son was a foolish young man , he quickly spent all the money, and soon he had nothing left. Of course, when that happened all his friends left him. When he was quite poor and alone, he went to see Nasreddin, who was a kind clever old man and often helped people when they had troubles."My money is finished and my friends have gone," said the young man. "What will happen to me now ?""Don't worry, young man, "answered Nasreddin. "Everything will soon be all right again,and you will soon feel much happier."The young man was very glad. "Am I going to get rich again then " he asked Nasreddin."No, I didn't mean that," said the old man. "I meant that you would soon get used to being poor and having no friends."8. A man was travelling abroad(国外)in a small redcar.One day he left the car and went shopping.When he came back,its roof(顶部)was badly damaged(毁坏).Some boys told him that an elephant had damaged it.The man did not believe them,but they took him to a circus(马戏团)which was near there.The owner of the elephant said, “I am very sorry!My elephant has a big,round, red chair.He thought that your car was his chair,and he sat on it!”Then he gave the man a letter,in which he said that he was sorry and he would pay for all the damage.When the man got back to his owncountry,the customs(海关)officers would not believe his story.They said, “You sold your new car while you were abroad and bought this old one!”It was only when the man showed them the letter from the man of the circus that they believed him.9. A long time ago, people thought that the sun went around the earth. In some countries, people even said that the sun was God. They thought the God drove across the sky each day on a golden horse. Now we know the earth goes around the sun. It takes the earth a year to go all the way around the sun. Today men even know how far it is for the earth to go around the sun. They tell us that the earth travels over 1000 miles a minute on its journey around the sun. The sun is really a star. It's much bigger than the earth, and it's very hot. Some people have been to the moon, but no one can ever go to the sun. It's far too hot for people to live anywhere near it. The sun is 300,000 times heavier than the earth, and more than 1 million times larger.10. Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be taught to do a number or simple jobs. They say that in a film oron TV, we may see elephants or monkeys, dogs, bears or other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are always given something to eat in return for doing them. The scientists said that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get something to eat in return. Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house. And elephants can be used to do some heavy jobs. And we can also teach animals to work in factories. Apes, for example, have been used in America to help make cars.And scientists believe that these large monkeys may one day get in crops and even drive trains.11.If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington 1876 - 1947 concluded from other mans’work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.12.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does notmean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.13.Spring appears to be the best time of the year for thinking. Fall is the next-best season than winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.14.Whatever one does one should do it with confidence.If one has no confidence, there is little possibility that one can achieve anything when faced with hardships.This truth seems to be self-evident. In reality, however, we do see a lot of people who always complain that they lack the ability to do something, or that their difficulties are too great to overcome. For some, this might be true,but for many others, this only shows that they have lost heart. Why do some people often feel frustrated even though they are capable of doing something? I think there are two main reasons. In the first place,these people don't have a correct estimate of themselves. Secondly, it is possible that they exaggerate the difficulties.15.In my opinion, one can build up faith in oneself as long as he has the right attitude towards his own abilities. We should neither underestimate nor overestimate our abilities. As a proverb says,"where there is a will, there is a way". With confidence, we can certainly cope with any task we are faced with.16.Choosing a career is one of the most important things in a person's life. Finding the right career, we will be happy and successful. Finding the wrong one, we will not be able to fully display our our talents. Unfortunately, many of us make causely mistakes, the trouble is that we often choose a career for the wrong reasons. For example, some people simply follow in the footsteps of their parents and relatives, and many others change jobs constantly under the influence of friends who give them their advice. As a result, they can't make the best use of their talents, and they get no well in their work. These mistakes can be avoided by taking into account some factors, such as our choice of occupation and a necessary information about the job before we make the decision. Above all, it is important to make a fare evaluation of ourselves. Be sure that we know where our interest lies and what our abilityis. Only by doing so, can we both excel in and enjoy our work.This term several useful and interesting courses have been offered. An introduction to European culture, for instance, gives us a lot of background knowledge of the history of European philosophy, literature and arts. From time to time, we see slight shows of famous paintings, and hear tapes of famous pieces of music, these make the lecture all the more interesting.American society and culture is another course that attracts a large audience. The teacher who visited the united state not long ago, discusses new train and changes in American life, as well as American history and traditions. We like these and other courses very much, because they help us not only to improve our English, but also to broaden our vision.17.There are two main causes of cancer: heredity and environment. We can do nothing to change our heredity, that is, the basic physical characteristics that are passed on to us by our parents. However, we can do a great deal to control our environment, which may account for eighty to ninety percent of all cancers. Enviromnentalpollution can be divided into two kinds: personal and nonpersonal. Personal pollution may be defined roughly as unhealthy habits such as smoking, drinking, and eating the wrong foods. Clearly, with enough will power we can control this personal environment. nonpersonal pollution, on the other hand, refers to those things which are beyond our individual control. One example would be industrial pollution, which is very hard to control because of the expense involved. It would be expensive in terms of profits and, perhaps, jobs.The American automobile industry, for example, resisted the law requiring smog-control devices because it feared the added expense would reduce profits. Nevertheless, some laws protecting the environment have been quite successful in reducing pollution.18.Some teachers seem to be good teachers,but they are not. Even though their students have no special faults to find with them. They are not good teachers because they have no special vision,no special urge,no fight. They know their respect fields well. They have orderly minds. Their courses are well planed and efficiently taught. Yet something keeps them from being a great teacher,like sarcritice. This kind of teacher is more interested in thesubject being taught than in students or social progress. A good teacher is always eager to bring about a social structure in which people will be free to be themselves. European countries seem to accept individuality much more than the United States does.Thte automobile has probably changed people's way of life more than any other invention of the last century.More than electric lights,television,air travel ,or even computers,automobiles have changed where people live and work ,and how they make a living.Before there were cars,people generally traveled on foot or by horse over unpaved roads.Whether they lived in the city or the country ,they rarely went farther than a few miles from home.They saw the same people and places year after year.The car opened up whole new worlds.Roads were paved,and motorists went to see different parts of the country .People with cars could live father from their jobs,and so the age of commuting began.New suburbs sprang up around the cities.The auto industry boomed,and millions of Americans made aliving,,manufacturing,selling,servicing or insuring cars.19.Some people live in one community all their lives, while others move around almost as much as nomads. Both experiences have their advantages as well as disadvantages.20.People who stay in one spot can develop lifelong friendships, and such friends may lend a hand if trouble comes. They know each other's life history, and they judge each other for the kind of person each is, not for the image their project.21.Yet spending a lifetime in one location can also lock a person into a limited way of life. Personal change may become very difficult. People with few experiences may develop a narrow outlook and find it hard to understand those who have different ethnic, racial, or religious backgrounds.22.By staying in different places for varying length of time, people can broaden their outlook but still have enough time to make adjustments and form friendships.23.One of Google's self-driving cars crashed into a bus in California last month. There were no injuries. It was not the first time one of the Google's famed self-driving carshave been involved in crash, but it may be the first time it has caused one. On Feb. 14th，the self-driving car, traveling at 2 miles per hour, pulled out in front of a public bus going 15 miles per hour.24.The man in the Google vehicle reported that he assumed the bus would slow down to let the car out, and so he did not switch to the manual mode. In the statement, Google said, we clearly bear some responsibility because if our car hadn't moved, there wouldn't have been the crash. That said our taxi driver believed the bus was going to slow or stop to allow us to merge into the traffic and there would be sufficient space to do that.25.The company's self-driving cars have done well over a million miles across various states in the U. S. and until now have only reported minor accidents.26.Thousands of bees left the town after landing on the back of a car when their queen got stuck in its boot.【3】Tom Moses who works at a nearby National Park noticed a brown patch on the back of the car after theowner parked it to some shopping.When he looked closer, he realized it was a huge group of bees. Moses said,“I've never seen that many bees in one spot. It was very unusual. 【4】They were very close together and there was a lot of noise and movement. It was interesting to see such a strange sight. But there were a lot of people around and I was a bit worried about the bees and the people stopping to look. I thought that someone might do something stupid.” Moses called two local bee specialists who helped remove the bees by attracting them into a box. Moses spent three hours looking after the bees and was stung five times. He said, “My stings are a bit painful,but I'm pleased it all worked out and I could help. People need to realize that bees are valuable and they should be lookeda fter.”27.【5】A new species of snake has been discovered on a remote island in the Bahamas, Scientists identified 20 of the 1-metre-long snakes during two trips to the Caribbean islands. The second trip was made in October last year. 【6】One of the creatures made a dramatic appearance by moving onto the head of a team leader as he slept. 【7】The snake has been named Silver Boabecause it is metal-colored and the first specimen found was climbing a silver palm tree. The team was led by Dr. Graham Reynolds from Harvard University. The scientist confirmed the snake was a previously unknown species after conducting a genetic analysis of tissue samples. Commenting on the find，snake expert Robert Henderson from the Milwaukee Museum of Natural History said, “Worldwide n ew species of frogs are being discovered and described quite regularly. New species of snakes, however, are much rarer.”28.M: 【12】You know, Ben's given up making those terrible faces he used to make. The other day, he came home from school almost in tears. His teacher said if he went on like that, his face would get stuck when the winds changed.29.W: And he believed her?30.M: Yeah, he's only a little boy. Don't you remember all those things we used to believe when we were little? 【13】I remember my aunt Mary used to say if you swallow a cherry stone, a tree would grow out of yourmouth. And I'm still terrified today, sort of subconsciously. You know, if I swallow one by mistake…。

大学英语教材原文听力

大学英语教材原文听力听力材料1：Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm from Canada. I'm majoring in English literature. Today, I want to talk about the importance of reading in learning a new language. Reading is an essential part of language acquisition as it helps improve vocabulary, comprehension, and language fluency. When we read, we encounter new words and phrases, and through context, we can understand their meaning. This expands our vocabulary and allows us to express ourselves more accurately in writing and speaking. Additionally, reading exposes us to different writing styles and genres, which enhances our understanding of the language's cultural aspects.听力材料2：Greetings! My name is John, and I'm a linguistics major from the USA. Let's discuss the benefits of listening to original English materials. Listening to authentic English content, such as podcasts, interviews, and speeches, helps improve our listening skills and understanding of natural language usage. By listening to native speakers, we become familiar with various accents, intonations, and pronunciation patterns, which greatly aids our ability to communicate effectively. Moreover, listening to original materials exposes us to different topics and ideas, broadening our knowledge base and critical thinking skills.听力材料3：Hello, everyone! I'm Maria, an English language education student from Brazil. Today, I want to emphasize the importance of integrating listening and reading skills for language learning. By combining these two skills, learners can reinforce their understanding of vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structures. Listening to English materials while simultaneously reading the text allows us to make connections between written words and spoken language. This fosters a deeper comprehension of the language and promotes overall language proficiency.听力材料4：Hey, I'm Chen Wei, a student from China. Let's talk about strategies for enhancing listening comprehension. Firstly, it is crucial to engage in regular listening practice. This can be done by listening to podcasts, audio books, or watching movies and TV shows in English. Secondly, taking notes while listening and reviewing them afterward helps improve retention and understanding. Lastly, it is beneficial to listen to materials with varying difficulty levels, gradually challenging ourselves to understand more complex content. With consistent effort and practice, our listening skills will undoubtedly improve.听力材料5：Greetings, I'm Kavita from India. I would like to discuss the significance of using technology to enhance listening skills. In today's digital age, there are numerous online platforms and applications specifically designed to improve listening comprehension. These resources provide access to authentic listening materials, interactive exercises, and instant feedback. Utilizing technology in language learning not only makes the process moreengaging but also allows learners to practice at their own pace and convenience.听力材料6：Hello, my name is Ahmad, and I come from Jordan. Let's explore the role of group discussions in improving listening skills. Participating in group discussions provides an opportunity to actively listen to others' ideas, opinions, and perspectives. It enhances our ability to comprehend different accents, intonations, and speech patterns in a real-life context. Engaging in discussions also encourages us to respond and express our own thoughts, enhancing our overall communication skills and confidence in using the English language.总结：以上是几位来自不同国家的大学生对于大学英语教材原文听力的观点和建议。
