Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington University, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller:Dr. Miller: Thank you for that introduction. Today, Id like to preface my remarks with a story from my own life which I feel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting back the tears, he spoke proudly of the fact that he had built their home from the ground up, and that he had pounded every nail and laid every brick in the process. The prospect of having to sell their home and give up their independence, and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. It was,in my grandfathers own words, like having a limb cut off. He exclaimed in a forceful manner that he felt he wasnt important anymore.For them and some older Americans, their so-called “golden years”are at times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of not only ones health but the loss of identity and self-worth. In many societies, this self-identity is closely related with our social status, occupation, material possessions, or independence. Furthermore, we often live in societies that value what is “new” or in fashion, and our own usage of words in the English language is often a sign of bad news for older Americans. I mean how would your family react if you came home tonight exclaiming, “Hey, come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!” Unfortunately, the word “old” calls to mind images of the need to replace or discard.Now, many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform, medical care, and the development of public facilities for senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, Id like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies.First of all, Id like to talk about . . .16. What does the introduction say about Dr. Howard Millers articles and books?17. What is the greatest fear of Dr. Millers grandfather?18. What does Dr. Miller say the “golden years” can often mean?19. What is the focus of Dr. Millers speech?解：这是一篇关于老龄化社会，老年人的晚年生活等问题的演讲。

四六级新题型改革
四六级新题型改革这次四六级新题型改革引起了各方讨论（【官方通知】关于大学英语四、六级考试题型调整的说明），大家普遍认为难度有所增加。
难度上是否有所增加暂且不提，但单从测试结构上来说，对四六级考生的确实提出了更高的要求。
首先，主观题所占分值比例大幅度增加了。
在英语四六级考试改革前的英语四六级试卷中，主观题比例仅占到20%。
而这次改革后，主观题比例上升到30%。
其次，在很大程度上抑制了临时抱佛脚的侥幸心态。
纵观这次发布的样卷，单纯对某个词汇和语法点的考察题型已经全部取消，取而代之的是对考生英语综合运用能力的考察。
再次，四六级整卷中每个部分所占的分值比例分布更为合理。
除了听力和阅读仍然是得分大头外，其余部分的洗牌让整个分值分布更为平均。
这就让之前绝大多数培训机构所宣扬的抓大题放小题的策略失效，每个部分都变得举足轻重。
题型的变革代表着考委会希望四六级考生不仅仅能够通过这个考试，同时也能全面提高英语应用能力。
那么，对于如此重大的变革，我们的四六级考生应该如何备考呢？从宏观的指导思想上来说有两点需要注意：首先，大家要从心态上杜绝临时抱佛脚、侥幸过级的想法。
至少给自己间留出3个月左右的备考时间，不要再因为报考费便宜而总是裸考。
要知道，总是裸考不过，既伤心又伤钱包啊。
再者，从复习策略上来看，首先，你需要判断一下自己当前水平。
如果整体基础较差，单词大部分不认识、句子看不懂。
那么建议先老老实实背单词，学点语法。
这个学习过程大约需要至少持续一个月左右。
等到单词认得差不多了，我们再来谈解题技巧、出题思路这些知识。
解决了以上两点，现在我们来具体谈谈如何提高各部分能力来应对新题型改革。
从试卷结构上来看，新题型的改革主要集中在听力、阅读、翻译三个分项上。
下面我们就从这三方面出发，给予大家一些建议。
听力：想要提高听力就练听写。
这个已经是一个亘古不变的真理了。
看到这里的同学，你可长长心吧，不如利用空余时间来大家论坛四六级每日一练多练练听力。
英语四级新题型变化
变化一：听力比重提高 听力篇增加长对话淡化答题技巧
新题型中，听力的比重由20％上升到35％，阅读理解比重由40％下降到35％。所 以我个人认为，以前在四、六级考试中被公认的“得阅读者得天下”应改为“得 听力者得天下，得阅读者守天下”。
听力总共分为三个部分： 第一部分由八个小对话和两个长对话组成； 第二部分是三篇小文章； 第三部分为复合式听写。
• 即按照写作、快速阅读理解、听力理解、仔细阅 测试时间的长度也从原来的20分钟增加到了35分钟。
三篇（共10题，每篇3到4题，分值比例10％） 加快答题速度加强针对训练
读理解、完形填空和翻译的顺序进行测试。 4．写作可采用中英文互译法提高英语基本表达能力。
坚持每天听半小时英语，临考前增加听力练习时间。
• 考试流程变化（1）：
• 熟悉规则这是成功的第一步，希望以下内容能够引起大家足够的重视! • 考试从9:10开始，首先做写作题，9:40结束，同时开始做快速阅读题。

全国大学英语四、六级考试听力试题调整的说明
全国大学英语四、六级考试听力试题调整的说明关于全国大学英语四、六级考试听力试题调整的说明同学们是否已经听说大学英语四级听力改革了?下面是店铺为大家整理的大学英语四级听力改革说明，希望能帮助到大家!自2016年6月考试起，全国大学英语四六级考试委员会将对四六级考试的听力试题作局部调整。
调整的相关内容说明如下：1.取消短对话;2.取消短文听写;3.新增短篇新闻(3段)，每段设置2~3个小题，共7题，每小题1分，新闻长度130~190词;4.长对话(2段)由原来的共7题调整为共8题，每小题1分，对话长度不变;5.短文理解(3段)题型不变，题目设置还是10个，分值由原来的每小题1分调整为每小题2分;6.考试时间考试时间由原来的35分钟减为25分钟。
从上面的试题结构变化可以看出，最大的变化就是取消了短对话和短文听写这2个题型，增加了短篇新闻听力这个新题型。
虽然考试时间和问题个数及分值设置都有变化，但是这些不会影响到同学们平常的练习，以前怎么练习还是怎么练习，只是要加强短文理解的练习力度，毕竟它的一小题的分值是2分。
同学们现在需要做的是多听新闻听力，总结短篇新闻的特点及答题技巧。
考试吧向大家推荐多听以下几个电台的新闻：VOA,BBC,ABC,CRI 等，上网搜一下，很多网站都会有这些电台的新闻听力，若能找到这些新闻听力的文本，是再好不过的了。
一些网站会延后更新新闻听力的`文本，大家可以多搜搜。
不过，在看听力文本之前，自己要多听几遍，慢慢地就会发现自己能听出来的越来越多，不需要文本，也能轻松听懂。
短篇新闻听力有着新闻听力的共性：面广量大的词汇结构，频繁使用缩略词，句式复杂，语言口语化等，可是毕竟是短篇，信息量不会太大，所以大家不必慌张，平常多加练习即可。
多听多总结，就会慢慢适用新闻听力，多找相应的新闻听力题练习，相信考试时就能轻松得分了。
敬请期待文都教育出品的大学英语四级预测卷及听力指导用书。

At the end of each news report, you will hear two or three questions. Both the news report 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 1 with a single line through the centre.Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi. The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. LastJuly, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warn ed of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. When did the incident occur?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It’s been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token £1 failed.The company has huge debt s. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain’s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years.Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.Many of the store group’s 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report?4. What did Woolworths attempt to do recently?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution. In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.The idea has proved popular with customers ― they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. Banks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white to a plain white colour.5. What change took place in Cairo recently?6. What helped bring about the change?7. Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions.

My own company, LCP, Liquid Control Products, is a leader in safety from leaks in the field of chemical processing.

Well, Mr. Grand is not available just now.M: Can you tell me when I could reach him?W: He’s very busy for the next few days –then he’ll be away in New York. So it’s difficult to give you a time.M: Could I speak to someone else, perhaps?W: Who in particular?M: A colleague for example?W: You’re speaking to his personal assistant. I can deal with calls for Mr. Grand.M: Yes, well, could I ring him tomorrow?W: No, I’m sorry he won’t be free tomorrow. Listen, let me suggest something.

At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneIn today’s class, we’ll discuss Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved.As I’m sure you all know, Morrison is both a popular and a highly respected author, and it’s not easy to be both. Born in 1931, Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on theAfrican-American experience ever written by anyone, and yet to call her an“African-American writer” doesn’t seem to do her justice. In many ways, she’s simply an American writer—and certainly one of our best.Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every major literary prize, including the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993.What makes Beloved unique is the skillful, sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personal storytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of Blacks with the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with a sense of mysterious spirituality.W e’ll be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work. I’m particularly interested in your views on the relative importance of race and gender in this book. Is it more important that Sethe, the main character, is black or that she’s a wo man? Which contributes more to her being? What does Morrison tell us about both?Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do we learn about Toni Morrison?17. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993?18. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character in Morrison’snovel Beloved?Passage TwoThe topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may think that gift-giving is a universal custom. But actually, the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot, and not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. In North America, the rules are fairly simple. If you’re invited to someone’s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from your co untry. Among friends, family, and business associates, we generally don’t give gifts on other occasions except on someone’s birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift-giving in Japan is very ancient. There are many detailed rules for everything from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don’t generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some for mal customswhen visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning.Today we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additional examples. But let’s not miss the main poi nt here: If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learn about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respect differences among people in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?20. What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift-giving?21. What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?Passage ThreeHetty Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account.Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.Hetty’s meanness was well known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son Ned fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg.When she died in 1916 she left her children $100 million. Her daughter built a hospital with her money.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?25. What do we learn about Hetty’s daughter?参考答案Part II Listening Comprehension Section A1. B2. C3. A4. D5. D6. A7. CSection B8. D9. B10. B11. C12. A13. B14. C15. DSection C16. A17. B18. D19. D20. C21.

I rang earlier and asked for some information about Denys Hawtin, the scientist. You asked me to ring back.W: Oh, yes. I have found something.M: Good. I’ve got a pencil and paper. Pe rhaps you could read out what it says.W: Certainly. Hawtin, Denys. Born: Darlington 1836; died New York 1920.M: Yes. Got that.W: Inventor and physicist. The son of a farm worker, he was admitted to the University of London at the age of fifteen.M: Yes.W: He graduated at seventeen with a first class degree in Physics and Mathematics. All right?M: Yes, all right.W: He made his first notable achievement at the age of eighteen. It was a method of refrigeration which arose from his work in low temperature physics. He became professor of Mathematics at the University of Manchester at twenty-four, where he remained for twelve years. During that time he married one of his students,Natasha Willoughby.M: Yes. Go on.W: Later, working together in London, they laid the foundation of modern Physics by showing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles. For this he and his wife received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1910, and did so again in 1912 for their work on very high frequency radio waves. In his lifetime Hawtin patented 244 inventions. Do you want any more?M: Yes. When did he go to America?W: Let me see. In 1920 he went to teach in New York, and died there suddenly after only three weeks. Still, he was a good age.M: Yes.

And the other buildings that did not burn are being de-smoked. As to the cause of the fire, all we know is that we were having trouble with the pilot lights since we bought the stove in July and it had been serviced three times. Well, as a matter of fact, we think it was a malfunctioning stove that may have caused the fire. Nothing definite yet has been determined.W: Have you heard from other schools or other institutional users of this stove that have had the same problem?M: No. I wouldn’t know anything more about the stove itself. All I kno w is that this fire went up so quickly that there’s been a suspicion about why it went up so quickly. And it may be that there was a gas blast. But, again, this has not been determined officially by anybody.。

大学英语四六级改革政策变化盘点
大学英语四六级改革政策变化盘点英语四六级考试真是让人高兴让人愁哇，为适应时代进展，四六级考试也在不断改革进步，下面是我整理的高校英语四六级改革政策改变盘点，盼望大家喜爱。

◆二、六级听力试题的调整取消短对话取消短文听写听力篇章调整为2篇(原3篇)新增讲座/讲话(3篇)其他测试内容不变。
改革大大事三:11月口语报考条件改变,报考无门槛全国高校英语四、六级考试委员会办公室发布《下半年全国高校英语四、六级口语考试报名通知》，报考资格那一栏的有了明显的改变，由“从6月及以后全国高校英语四六级(含网考)考试成果为425分及以上”变成了“仅接受完成12月高校英语四六级级笔试报考的考生”。
◆通知解读：下半年起，报名四六级口试没有分数的限制了。
之前官方规定：四六级425分及以上才有资格参与四六级口语考试。
如今没有门槛的限制，只需先报名笔试，随后即可报名口试。

”通知解读：从下半年开头，一张成果单会同时报道本次口试成果及笔试成果。
要是没有参与口语考试的同学，口语成果那一栏可能会显示为空，将不会有成果!为空是表示“缺考”还是“零分”呢?!当你找工作时，面试官看到你的成果单上的一项成果为空，说不定机会就会跟你失之交臂。

关于全国大学英语四、六级考试听力试题调整的说明——四六级通用资料资料文档
关于全国大学英语四、六级考试听力试题调整的说明
为了适应新的形势下社会对大学生英语听力能力需求的变化，进一步提高听力测试的效度，全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会自20××年6月考试起将对四、六级考试的听力试题作局部调整。
调整的相关内容说明如下。
一、四级听力试题的调整
1.取消短对话
2.取消短文听写
3.新增短篇新闻（3段）
二、六级听力试题的调整
1.取消短对话
2.取消短文听写
3.听力篇章调整为2篇（原3篇）
4.新增讲座/讲话（3篇）
听力改革意味着什么？
1.陪伴了中国大学生十几年的短对话和短文听写将退出历史舞台，取而代之的是新闻听力和学术讲座（lecture）。
取消短对话和短文听写表明难度下降，但增加短篇新闻又意味着难度上升，并向英语专四听力靠拢。
进一步向托福雅思等国际权威考试接近。
2.本次四级调整作了3项调整，而六级作了4项调整。
3.改革之后四级和六级的区分度拉大，六级听力难度依然远高于四级，其中新增题型讲座/讲话明显向TOEFL靠拢。
四级新增短篇新闻（3段），六级新增讲座/讲话（3篇）！！你能感受到"3段"和"3篇"在气势和难度上的差别吗？小编已经感受到大学英语第六感等级考试的恶意了。
4.四级和六级综合来看，正开始慢慢摆脱稚气的填鸭式应试，无论形式上，还是内容选材上，都与国际考试接轨，真正考察考生的语言使用能力，对考生的备考也提出了新的要求。
2023年12月六级改革内容
CET-6六级具体变化如下：1. 完型填空部分彻底取消；这个我们从初中英语考试就熟悉的题型，化为乌有咯~2. 听写复合式听写考察10个单词或短语的填空，不再考察句子，难度系数略微下降；3. 阅读取消快速阅读，改为段落信息匹配题；按照四六级官方公布的样卷，规定考生为15个给定段落，选择一个信息匹配的表述；15个段落，相应10个匹配表述，也就是说，有的段落是干扰信息，你是选不出匹配信息地，需要你进行选择性排除，有别于四级。
此外，六级阅读中，尚有一个变化，值得关注！在四级的阅读中，原先就又“选词填空”这个题目：一篇阅读中挖出10个空，让你从15个给定单词中，选择10个填进去。
六级原先没有这个题目，六级考的是“简答题”：一篇阅读的后面，有5个简答题，规定你根据原文信息，写出这5个题目的答案。

本文将介绍英语四级考试的最新题型和变化趋势。

然而，最新的考试变化显示，对于短文写作，考生可能需要写一封邮件、一份便条、一篇海报或报纸报道等。
而作文的题材也更加广泛，涵盖社会、教育、科技等各个领域。
四、口语部分英语四级考试的口语部分是近几年新增的部分，要求考生用英语进行对话。
新的题型包括自我介绍、问答、讨论话题等。
考生需要流利地表达观点，掌握一定的口语应对策略。
总体来说，英语四级考试的最新题型和变化趋势体现了对考生语言综合能力的更高要求。
通过针对不同语言技能的考查，旨在培养学生的英语应用能力，提高英语语言能力的实际运用能力，使学生能够更好地适应国际化的背景。
