Some snakes live in warm, dry deserts. Others live in green forests,fields and woodlands. Some never go far from water and are fine swimmers. Some live all their lives in the sea. Most snakes can swim. [27]Because snakes are cold-blooded and depend on warm air for comfort and existence, the largest number of snakes is found in the hottest parts of the earth. Even so, many snakes stay away from the direct rays of the sun when possible. If extra hot weather comes along, snakes find a coolest place possible and stay there. In places where it freezes, snakes often hide themselves far under the ground or in caves and stay until spring. Snakes are smart enough to stay alive. They are smart enough to find food and kill their enemies. [28]But compared with other animals, they are believed to be below average in intelligence.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26.

大学英语四级考试——听力篇(一
大学英语四级考试——听力篇（一）听的能力的提高，对于外语学习有着至关重要的作用。
大学四级英语测试注重对考生听力理解能力的培养和检测，要求考生们领会英语语义，对听到的语音信号进行加工；使自身对英语的背景知识、语境和语言知识的了解相互作用，对听力材料不断进行吸收，最终形成语言理解。
【改革目标】高等教育英语教学改革的三个方面是：一、修改原有教学大纲，制订新的《大学英语课程教学要求》，将原有的以阅读理解为主转变到以听力为主、全面提高英语综合应用能力；二、改革现有教学模式；三、改革大学英语教学检测和评价体系，建立适应时代要求的大学英语评价体系，该项测试突出培养和检测学生以英语听说能力为主的综合应用能力。
改革就是要改掉“哑巴英语”，就是要解决听不懂、说不出的问题。
【综合要求】要达到大学四级听力的水平，《大学英语课程教学要求（试行）》提出了明确的要求：◆能听懂英语授课；◆能听懂日常谈话和一般性题材的讲座；◆能基本听懂慢速英语节目，语速为每分钟130词左右，能掌握其中心大意，抓住要点；◆能运用基本的听力技巧帮助理解。
【题型变化】大学英语四级考试题型改革后，听力部分改动较大，主要的变化有以下几个方面：听力的分值由原来的20%提升为35%，其中听力对话占15%，包括短对话和长对话，测试题型为多项选择；听力短文占20%，包括选择题型的短文和复合式听写。
【题型构成】➢Section A部分由两种题型构成：短对话和长对话。
短对话部分由原来的10题减至8题，占分值的8%。
增加了两篇长对话，每篇3至4题，共7题，分值比例为7%。
Section B部分仍然为短文题，即我们俗称的passage，共3篇，每篇设3~4个题目，共10题，分值比例10%。
Section C部分为复合式听写：其中词汇听写由原来的7个增加至8个，句子听写仍保持3句不变，复合式听写部分总共占分值的10%。
总的来说，题目的总量增加了，做题时间增长了，无形中增加了对同学在做题目时精力集中程度的考验。

Land fills are places to dump waste, but they are un-popular because they can pollute the soil used to cover them and that’s bad for people who may build new homes there. Recycling also re-uses valuable raw materials such as aluminum and paper. Finally recycling can leave a lower garbage bill. Recycling lowers the amount of waste put into land fills. Therefore less money is spend for garbage disposalW:So,has recycling changed over the yearsM: 10/20 years ago,you could buy milk in returnable refill able gas bottles and many people recycled voluntarily, now you buy milk and other products in plastic bottles or paper containers. Because of the high cost of disposing of these things in land fills,many city governments now have recycling programs.W:How does recycling help the environmentM: Recycling helps the environment mainly by saving energy For example it takes 95% less energy to produce recycled aluminum than to produce new aluminum.W:Can one person really make a difference, if only a few people recycle then what’s the pointM: If not you then who If we combine our efforts we can make a difference. Each of us contributes to the waste problem. Over millions of tons of waste that go into the land fills started as an old pair of slippers, a broken tv set or a used magazine that came from somebody’s house,maybe yours.Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard9.

According to the man, how does recycling help the environment12. Why does the man say everybody should make an effort to recycle Conversation 2W: Could you please give me information on airfares from Miami to Birmingham WashingtonWe would like to buy some how to fly as cheaply as possible.M: Let’s see, I won’t advice you to pay the normal one way economy transfer of 555 dollars, if you can fly on a Tuesday or Wednesdayand buy your tickets at least 21 days in advance I suggest you book a round trip extension flight.W: But we may not need the return ticketsM: That’s alright Even if you don’t use them,you should be able to save 89 dollars over the one way fare, of course I’d recommend only booking, you ought to try to reserve the super saver seats, there are only a few of them and they are 15% cheaper than the others. W: That sounds like a good ideaM: Wait, to save another 100 dollars or so, why do n’t you book a flight to Vancouver CanadaW: Well that’s better than me want to goM: I know, but you can take a bus from Vancouver back to Birmingham and still save money and if you are travelling with children you might be able to get a discount and if you fly economy class. If they don’t get any discount B ut to take advantage of the airline’s guaranteed fare policy you’d have to make reservations and pay your tickets at least 6 weeks in advance. Should I begin to search for available seatsW: No, thank you M: Excuse meW: I may call you back if we do n’t decide to drive.Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard13. Where is the woman planning to go14. What is the woma n’s purpose in calling the man15. What does the man advise the woman to dopassage 1:What makes a person famous This is a mystery that many people have carefully thought about. All kinds of myths surround the lives of well-known people. Most people are familiar with the works of WilliamShakespeare, one of the greatest English writers of the 16th and 17di centuries. Yet, how many know Shakespeare, the person, the man behind the works After centuries of research, scholars are still trying to discover Shakespeare’s personal history. It is not easily found in his writings. Authors of the time could not protect their works. An acting company,for example,could change a play if they wanted to. Nowadays, writers have copyrights to protect their work. Many myths arose about Shakespeare. Some said he had no formal education, others believed that he began his career by tending the horses of wealthy men. All of these myths are interesting, but are they true Probably not. Shakespeare’s father was a respected man in Stratford upon Avon, a member of the town council. He sent young William to grammar school. Most people of Elizabethan times did not continue beyond grammar school. So Shakespeare did have at least an average education. Some parts of Shakespeare life will always remain unknown The Great London Fire of 1666 burnt many important documents that could have been a source of clues. We will always be let with many questions and few facts.Q16: What does the speaker say about William ShakespeareQ17: What do we learn about Shake spears fatherQ18: Why does the speaker say part of Shakespeare’s life will remain a mysteryPassage 2Almost everyone suffers from a headache occasionally. But some people suffer from repeated, frequent headaches.A headache is important (19) because it can be the first warning of a serious condition that could probably be controlled if discovered early. If a person removes the warning, day after day, with apain-killer7 he or she may pass the point of easy control.The professional name for covering up a symptom is “masking”. A headache specialist once said, (20) “Masking symptoms is not the best way of treatment. Sometimes it is wiser to stand still than to advance in darkness.”A headache often interferes needlessly with normal, happy living. The employee with a headache does less work. In a flash of temper he or she may upset his fellow workers or customers, causing a direct or indirect loss to the organization. The mother with a headache suffers and disturbs the family. She upsets her husband and children.(21)Rest, quiet and fresh airs stop many common headaches. Lying down and possibly falling asleep may help. One can often handle tension headaches by rubbing and pressing the neck muscles. Heat from an electric pad or a warm bed may also help.Because hunger may be overlooked as a headache source, one must make a habit of regular meals. If the meal must be postponed for more than one hour, a snack helps to avoid a hunger headache.19. Why does the speaker say “a headache is important”20. What the specialist suggest we do with headaches21. What does the speaker say helps relieve the symptoms of common headaches Passage 3If you paychecks seem disappearing into thin air, you maybe struck in money traps, but do n’t despair. Most people can get unstuck without going bankrupt. The biggest budget mistake is no budget at all. As one reader put it we just put all the bills in a pile, than try to decide which to pay. As she another has learnt, however, the money usually runs out before the bills do. The same problem plagues many who do have a detailed budget. Then study it, we read it lookedgood on paper, but it never seems to work.Why not Often because the budgets are unrealistic. The solution: make a detailed record of where all your money goes now, than study carefully. Look for an expense that can be cut back, and do n’t give up in the face fixed expense. Many of this can be reduced too. Li fact, it is very often easier to save on essentials than one enjoyable extra. If housing takes more than 25% of your income, for example, consider moving to a cheaper place or renting out an extra room. If utility bills are high, get the whole family involved in a conservation plan. Some bills can be eliminated altogether. When one mother realized that a cable TV was costing five hundred dollars a year. She decided that network TV was n’t so bad. If you question every expense, you can find a few can be reduced.22 what does the speak say it’s a biggest budget mistake23what does the speaker say about the so-called fixed expenses.24. What does the speaker suggest the people do to save housing expense25. What is mainly discussed in the talk复合式听写Perhaps because going to college is so much a part of the American dream, many people go for no particular reason. Some go because their paren ts expect it. Others because it’s what their friend are doing. Then there is the belief that college degree will automatically ensure a good job and high pay. Some students drift through four years attending courses or skipping them as the case maybe. Reading only what ca n’t be avoided, looking for less demanding courses and never been touched or changed in any important way. For few these people, college provides no satisfaction yet, because there parental or peer pressure they cannot voluntarily leave. They stop trying in the hopethat their teachers will make the decision for them by failing them. To put it bluntly, unless you are willing to make your college years count, you might be better off doing something else. Not everyone should attend college, nor should everyone who does attend begin right after high school. Many college students profit from taking a year or so off. A year out in the world helps some people to sort out their priorities and goals. If you really going to get something out of going to college, you have to make it mean something and to do that, you must have some idea why you are there, what you hope to get out of it and probably even what you hope to become.。

I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn’t as easy as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that’s not part of my paper. So I guess I should leave it out. But now I don’t know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It’s not like just sitting down s omewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That’s different.W: Then you’ll have to include that in your point.

For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrainalso results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibres that connect the eyeball to the brain, as of yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What does the speaker want to tell us about eyesight?27. What do studies about wearing the wrong glasses show?28. What do we learn about eye transplanting from the talk?Passage Two听力原文When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to doQuestions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents?30. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes?31. According to the passage, what must caregivers learn to do?Passage ThreeQuestions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Since a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections. My coworkers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety hazards in the workplace. Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about 7 hours a day. The supervisor of the laboratory is beginning to get headaches and dizzy spells because she says it’s dangerous to breathe some of the chemical smoke there. An X-rays technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment. She insists that it’s exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and asked that government agency to inspect the department. I’ve heard that at a factory in the area two pregnant women who were working with paint requested a transfer to a safer department, because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owners was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met an agree to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he had the heating system replaced right away.Questions 32- 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32 What does the talk focus on?33 What did the X-ray technician ask her company to do?34 What does the speaker say about the two pregnant women working with paint?35 Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing to work?Section C Compound DictationContrary to the old warning that time waits for no one, time slows down when you are on the move. It also slows down more as you move faster, which means astronauts some day may survive so long in space that they would return to an earth of the distant future.If you could move at the speed of light, your time would stand still, if you could move faster than light, your time would move backward. Although no form of matter yet discovered, moves as fast as or faster than light, scientific experiments has already confirmed that accelerated motion ca uses a traveler’s time to be stretched. Albert Einstein predicted this in 1905, when he introduced the concept of relative time as part of his special theory of relativity. A search is now under way to confirm the suspected existence of particles of matter that move at a speed greater than light. Andtherefore, might serve as our passports to the past. An obsession with time, saving, gaming, wasting, losing and mastering it, seems to have been a part of humanity for as long as human have existed. Humanity also has been obsessed with trying to capture the meaning of time. Einstein used a definition of time for experimental purposes, as that which is measured by a clock. Thus time and time’s relativity are measurable by any hour glass, alarm clock, or atomic clock that can measure a billionth of a second.附：2011年6月全国大学英语四级听力答案11.

可编辑修改精选全文完整版Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversationsand 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both of the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices, marked A), B), C) and D),and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the center. Now let’s begin with the 4eight short conversations.1. M: I hear you have got a role in a play. How on earth did you get it? W: Well, when I heard the role was coming up, I read the book until I could learn the lines by heart and understood the character, and I had an interview and got it.Q: How did the woman get the role in the play?2. W: You seem to have had perfect health all your life.M: Yeah. I don’t remember ever having to see a doctor. I eat healthy food and take plenty of exercise. Most of all, I look at the sunny side even when things aren’t going so well.Q: What is the most important reason for the man’s perfect health?3. M: Susan, how long have we known each other?W: Let’s see. We met when you interviewed me for a teaching job. I wasthen in my senior year at college, and it has already been eight years since I graduated.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?4. W: It seems my pet dog doesn’t like the new place. He seemed to be happy all day in the countryside.M: Just ignore it. I still remember you were unhappy when you first moved here, but you are happy now. He is sure to overcome in a week or two.Q: What should the woman do according to the man?5. M: You said you got a bachelor’s degree in Engineering. Where did you get it?W: From Iowa State University. And I’m now working on my master’s. That’s part of the reason I applied for this position.Q: What can we learn about the woman?6. W: Do you daydream? Scientists recently say its advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.M: Even if it is true, I don’t think you can achieve success without hard work. It can at most make you feel happy.Q: What does the man probably agree with?7. M: Did you see the Oscar ceremony last night? It was also a fashion show when the stars stepped onto the red carpet. There were all types of fancy gowns and dresses.W: That is a great help for you and I believe you will be inspired by the show.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?8. W: You are late again. Haven’t I told you that you should be away from home half an hour earlier?M: I’m sorry. I did do that and the traffic is OK, but I can’t do nothing in my car when I saw an old man in need of help.Q: What accounts for the man’s being late?Now you will hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneW: Tom, I suppose you must have heard about that great piece of concrete falling onto a car in that terrible accident in South Street yesterday, haven't you?M: Yes, I saw it in the paper. From a 200-foot-high building, wasn't it? W: Oh, yes. I saw the car; it was totally damaged.M: You usually park your car around there, don't you, Brenda?W: Yes, I left it in that very spot a couple of days ago, but yesterday it was parked up the road.M: You are lucky then.W: Out of luck, you mean! I'd be very pleased if my old car were smashed to bits. I could claim from the insurance company then.M: But you used to be so proud of your car, weren't you?W: It was years ago, but now there are all sorts of repairs to be done, and I just haven't got enough spare cash to put it right.M: You can always sell it, can't you?W: Few people are stupid enough to buy a car in that condition.M: The woman whose car was crushed yesterday was very annoyed about it. She will be given a new car by the builders, though.W: Yes, but her car was a specially built model that can't be replaced, and there was hardly anything wrong with it.M: Well, that's life! When people actually want to get rid of their cars, this sort of thing seldom happens, does it?Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. What happened in South Street yesterday?10. Why does the woman consider herself unlucky in terms of yesterday's accident?11. How did the owner feel when she knew her car was crushed? Conversation TwoW: Good morning, sir. I understand that you have been robbed.M: I certainly have.W: When did that happen?M: About two hours ago.W: Why didn't you report it?M: I couldn't. I was bound.W: Please tell me exactly what happened.M: I was sitting in this room watching television when someone knocked on the door. Without thinking, I opened it.W: That wasn't very wise, sir.M: I know. I was expecting my wife, you see, and thought it was her.W: You should never open a door without looking to see who it is.M: Yes, I know, I regret it very much.W: What happened?M: Two men pushed into the flat. One of them threatened me with a knife while the other bound me.W: Can you remember what they look like?M: I'm afraid not. They were both wearing stockings over their faces. W: What did they take?M: My wallet, with $300 in it, my wristwatch, some of my wife's jewelry from our bedroom, and a silver photo frame.W: They don't seem to have done much damage to the flat.M: No. They had just begun to search my house when the dogs next door began to bark. They ran off then leaving me bound. It was some time before my wife returned and released me. I phoned the police at once.W: My men began searching the area as soon as we received your call. I can't promise you that we'll recover your property but we'll certainly doour best.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. What does the woman do?13. Why did the man open the door without thinking?14. Why can't the man remember what the robbers look like?15.

Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the center.Passage OneOld age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were 18 years old. The findings came from a survey of more than 340 000 adults in the United States. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress. Arthur Stone in theDepartment of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50s. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70s. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70s and 80s. The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory proposed by some sociologists is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What does the speaker say about the recent findings?17. What can be inferred about happiness from the passage?18. According to the researchers, why do people become happier when they get older?Passage TwoBarbara Jordan was a lawyer, educator and member of Congress.She was well known for her powerful, thoughtful speeches. Barbara Charline Jordan was born in the southern city of Houston, Texas in 1936. Her father was a Baptist minister. In high school, Barbara heard a speech from a black woman lawyer. She decided to become a lawyer herself. Later, Miss Jordan attended the all-black college, Texas Southern University in Houston. She led a championship debating team and became known for her speaking skills. She finished at the top of her class. Then she went onto Boston University law school in Boston, Massachusetts. After she finished law school, Miss Jordan returned to Texas. She began to work as a lawyer. She also discovered she was interested in politics. In 1966, she decided to seek a seat in the Texas Senate and won. Barbara Jordan became the first black person to serve in the Texas Senate since 1883. After eight years in the Texas Senate, Miss Jordan campaigned for a seat in the United States House of Representatives. She won easily. She became the first woman and first black to be elected to Congress to represent Texas. In Congress, Miss Jordan spoke for the poor, for women, for African-Americans and Latin-Americans. She believed strongly, however, in being loyal to her state and her political party. She considered the interests of the people of Texas before those of any other group. Then, in 1977, Miss Jordan returned to Texas. Barbara Jordan began teaching about political values at the University of Texas. Her classes were so popular that students hadto be chosen from a long list.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What's the passage mainly about?20. Why did Barbara Jordan decide to become a lawyer?21. What do we learn about Barbara Jordan when she was in Congress?22. What did Barbara Jordan do after she returned to Texas in 1977? Passage ThreeRoute 66 was once very famous in America. It has been called "The Main Street of America." The idea for Route 66 started in Oklahoma. Citizens there wanted to link their state with states to the east and west. By the 1920s, federal officials wanted to connect state roads to provide a shorter, faster way across the country. So a plan was developed to connect existing state roads into one long national highway. United States Highway 66 was established on November 11, 1926. It was one of the first federal highways. It crossed eight states. It was 3 800 km long. It passed through the center of many cities and towns. It crossed deserts, mountains, valleys and rivers. In the 1930s, people suffered through the Great Depression. In Oklahoma, many poor families lost their farms because of dust storms. So they traveled west to California on Route 66 in search of a better life. In the 1950s,holiday travel brought more and more families out West to explore. Route 66 represented the spirit of movement and excitement. Later, people were getting fewer and fewerkicks on Route 66. By 1962, parts of the road were closed because they were in poor condition. The federal government was building bigger highways. Cars and trucks could travel at higher speeds. People started driving on these new interstate highways instead of the old Route 66. Finally, in 1985, Route 66 was officially removed from the national highway system. People have formed groups to save parts of the old 66 and many of the interesting places to eat, stay and see along the way. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23. What do we learn about Route 66?24. Why did Route 66 represent the spirit of movement and excitement?25. What can be inferred about Route 66 from the passage?Section C3Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. Now listen to the passage. New Year in the United States is celebrated on January 1, the first day of the Gregorian Calendar. This is a federal holiday in the US. On this day, many people make resolutions to give away bad deeds and renew life with good ones. It's the time to remember the achievements and make merry for theNew Year. New Year is expected to bring good luck and charm for people and this is the reason why Americans love to celebrate it with fun and enjoyment. New Year's Eve celebration is a festival affair for the people of the US. They love to enjoy even the last minute of the going year and welcome the New Year with a blast. Midnight parties, luxury dinners, live music and the dance floors make a perfect New Year's Eve bash. Every year, a huge ball is organized at Times Square in New York City, which is watched over by large number of Americans. A minute before the New Year's Day, a brightly lighted ball is dropped slowly from the top of a pole. As soon as the ball reaches the ground, it gives a signal of New Year and everybody hugs and kisses each other wishing Happy New Year. Elsewhere, many of the New Year's parties in the US have a dress code or a theme. People cover their faces with masks. To have some merriment with the family members at the beginning of the New Year, people prefer to celebrate it at their homes. There is also a tradition to open champagne bottles as the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve. They unmask themselves only when the clock strikes 12. Now the passage will be read again.

Don’t you remember all those things we used to believe when we were little? I remember my aunt Mary used to say if you swallow a cherrystone, a tree would grow out of your mouth.

In fact, I'd like to relive a period I've already lived – the 1960s.I was in my twenties, and everything was being renewed. People would come in out of a formal and almost Victorian attitude, and you really felt anything was possible. Meeting people was the thing, and you went to coffee bars where you met friends and spent the evening. The cinema, the theater, all that was every exciting with new things coming out. In fact, we seemed to be out, all the time! I don't really remember working – of course, I was a student – or sitting around at home very much. That just wasn't where the scene was, even eating! It was the first time, ordinary people started going out to eat. We were beginning to be adventurous about food, but we were more interested in meeting people than in eating or drinking. And dress, yes, that was the revolution. I mean, girls went around in really short skirts, and wore flowers in their hair. And men were in jeans, and could wear their hair long too. It was a wonderful period. It was like living in an age you could never have imagined, and that never has come back. We didn't have much money, but it didn't matter. And there was plenty of opportunity to do whatever you felt like doing.Question 16 –18 are based on the passage you have justheard:16. Why does the speaker say he would like to relive the 1960s?C Everything seemed to be changing.17. What does the speaker say was the most popular thing to do at that time?A Meeting people.18. What do we learn about the speaker?D He was a young student in the 1960s.【Passage 2】Dogs, man's best friends, have a clear strategy for dealing with angry owners—they look away.New research shows that dogs limit their eye contact with angry humans. The scientists suggest this may be an attempt to calm humans down. This behavior may have evolved as dogs gradually learned they could benefit from avoiding conflicts with humans.To conduct the tests, the University of Helsinki researchers trained 31 dogs to rest in front of a video screen. Facial photos of dogs and humans were displayed on the screen for 1.5 seconds. They showed threatening, pleasant and neutral expressions. Nearby cameras tracked the dogs' eye movements.Dogs in the study looked most at the eyes of humans and other dogs to sense their emotions. When dogs looked at expressions of angry dogs, their eyes rested more on the mouth, perhaps to interpret the threatening expressions. And when looking at angry humans, they tended to turn away their gaze.Dogs may have learned to detect threat signs from humans and respond by trying to make peace, according to researcher Sanni Somppi. Avoiding conflicts may have helped dogs developbetter bonds with humans.The researchers also note that dogs scan faces as a whole to sense how people are feeling, instead of focusing on a given feature. They suggest this indicates that dogs aren't sensing emotions from a single feature, but piecing together information from all facial features just as humans do.Q19. What do dogs do when they are faced with angry humans?B They avoid looking at them.Q20. What does a dog do when it sees the expressions of angry dogs?C It focuses its eyes on their mouths.Q21. How does a dog sense people's feelings?B By taking in their facial expressions as a whole.【Passage 3】Winter in many places is very cold. There is lots of snow around, and the ground freezes, which can make life difficult for animals. People in cold places live in warm houses and have learned to adapt. What do animals do? There are three main ways that animals survive the cold in winter: sleep, adapt or migrate.Some animals, such as bears, frogs and snakes, sleep all winter. They sleep very deeply and need little or no food. While sleeping, their body temperature drops, and their heart beat slows down. T o prepare for this before winter, these animals eat extra food to become fat, which gives them the energy they need while they sleep.Other animals adapt. For example, by staying active in winter. It is often hard for them to find food. So some animals, such as mice, collect extra food before winter, and hide it. When winter comes, they return to their hiding places to eat the food. Someanimals grow thicker fur, or live in tree holes or underground to stay warm.Some birds migrate by flying to a warmer place for the winter, where they can find more food. Some fly very long distances, including one kind of bird that flies from the remote north of the world, all the way to the distant south. Some birds fly in groups for safety, while others fly alone.Questions 22-25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What does the speaker say about animals in winter?D They resort to different means to survive the bitter cold.23. What do we learn about animals that sleep through winter?C They consume the energy stored before the long sleep.24. How do animals like mice adapt to the severe winter?A By storing enough food beforehand25. Why do some birds fly in groups when migrating, according to the speaker?C To stay safe。
大学英语四级(听力篇章)专项练习试卷22(题后含答案及解析)
大学英语四级（听力篇章）专项练习试卷22(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.听力原文：(16)On the sofa or lying in bed feeling ill? Chances are you’re tucking into some hot soup to help you feel better. It’s what your grandparents would have done, their grandparents and generations before that.(17)As far back as the 12th century, physicians were recommending chicken soup to combat a cold.

Soups were recommended. The nutritional benefits are obvious. A healthy soup provides an easy way to digest the nutrients we need, especially when we’re ill.(16)There’s more than that. The psychological links people have with food do stem from childhood. That is a connection we make on a subconscious level as we grow up, so when we want to feel comforted we look to what our mothers would have provided. Over time we build up food associations with our homes—we like to think of them as warm and cozy. There’s a definite tie there to our appreciation of warm and comforting food. Not many recipes are still handed down through generations, but soup is one of them, with ancient recipes for soup remaining very similar to those in modern cookbooks.(18)People believe that there are emotional reasons for this. When we take soup to people in tough times, there’s something about it that means we are bringing comfort to them because it takes an enormous amount of care inside.16. What is the speaker mainly talking about?17. Why were soups recommended in ancient times?18. Why does taking soup to people in tough times mean bringing comfort to them?1．A．How we can recover soon from illnesses.B．Why we eat soup when we’re ill or in need of comfort.C．What soup we should have when we feel ill.D．How soup originated and developed.正确答案：B解析：主旨大意题。
