At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause.

I wonder if I should visit a doctor.W: Well, it could be due to muscle injuries. To play it safe, I think you should.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?12.M: Thomas is always late when we have a meeting. Maybe one of us should give him a ring each time.W: That’s really annoying. But I’ll volunteer.Q: What will the woman probably do?13.M: The restaurant doesn’t seem to be making ends meet this year. Don’t you think so?W: Yes, but there’s no competitor along this street. So it’s probably worthwhile to keep it running.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?14.M: Would you like to drink another cup of tea?W: I’d be overdoing it if I had one more.Q: What does the woman mean?15.M: Will you be able to give me the report by tomorrow?W: Well, it still takes time to estimate the budget. But hopefully I will pull everything together.Q: What does the woman imply?16.M: Oh, my god, the soup dried up so fast!W: I told you not to keep the heat on high, didn’t I?Q: What did the woman suggest that the man do?17.M: That’s an awfully bad color for the bedroom.W: Well, that’s the color Tommy and Alice insisted on. You know how hard it is for them to make the same decision.Q: What does the woman imply about Tommy and Alice?18.M: The novel’s been selling like hot cakes since it was launched last month.W: I understand they will be running a second print soon.Q: What can be inferred about the book?Now you’ll hear two long conversations.Conversation OneM: Hi Janice, please come in and take a seat.W: Well, you would like to check the progress of the website-design, right?M: Yes, but it seems that we’ve got some problems with the BBS. The part-time web designer was not as good as what we had thought before. She informed us just now that she could not complete this task.W: Well, didn’t you talk with her about what she should do at the beginning?M: Not really. She was recommended by Jason and from what he told me, she sounded to be pretty qualified to do the job. I’m not asking for a terrific web design but to build up a structure with all the basic elements of web design.W: Did you ask her why she wasn’t frank with you in the beginning if she couldn’t do the BBS？M: I did. But she said it was a communication problem.W: So now what do you plan to do since she got the job half done?M: On one side, I will not pay her full fees since she wasn’t honest with me in the beginning. On the other side, I have to search around for another guy to complete the job.W: Agreed. That should also teach her a lesson. For us, I think we had better turn to our Part-time Job Center for help. There, we can get a professional to work at it.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. Why hasn’t the website been completed?20. What was the website designer not honest about?21. How did the man deal with the dishonest website designer?22. What does the woman suggest about the following steps to be taken?Conversation TwoM: Look at all the equipment here. They must be used for some kind of sport.W: You are right. They are for climbing mountains. Have you ever tried that before?M: No, never, have you?W: Almost for two years.M: Two years? Wow! What was it like the first time?W: Well, you’ve got to take it step by step even though you are anxious to do certain indoor practice at first.M: Isn’t it a bit dangerous? I heard that a 20-year-old colleague student lost his life when climbing the cliff the other day.W: Yes, it does happen from time to time, most often by people who just trywhen they are not yet ready for any risk.M: Are there any climbing clubs for freshmen to join then?W: Yes, for sure. But you need time to pick out the best one. Nowadays, too many of these climbing clubs are too eager to initiate trips without checking properly the skill levels of the climbers.M: Well, anyway, Katrina, thanks for your kind suggestion. I have to leave for class now.W: My pleasure. See you then.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. Where did the conversation probably take place?24. According to the woman, why do most climbing accidents occur?25. What is important for freshmen to do before climbing?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneStress comes in all shapes and sizes and it’s hard to get through a day without hearing or reading something about stress. Some doctors refer to stress as some kind of new plague. However, numerous surveys confirm that the problem has been progressively serious since the 1980s. Stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. Without stress, there could be no life. However, just as distress can cause disease, there are good stresses that offset this, and promote wellness. Increased stress results in increased productivity – up to a point. However, this level differs for each of us. We all need to find the proper level of stress that promotes optimal performance. Good health is more than just the absence of illness. Rather, it is a very robust state of physical and emotional well being that acknowledges the importance and inseparability of mind and body relationships. Later, in the nextprogram, I hope you will join me in the pursuit of learning how to harness stress, so that it can work for you and make you more productive.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What aspect of stress is the talk mainly about?27. How can we deal with stress according to the doctor?28. What will the doctor do in the next program?Passage TwoMany people think that sitting is easier on their backs than standing or lifting. Not true. People whose jobs require them to sit for long periods of time suffer as much from back pain as people who lift all day long. Many world-class researchers believe that the huge increase in back pain over the past couple of decades – and it is huge – has a lot to do with the fact that more and more of us are spending our work days in chairs. A lot of people have the notion that, if their back pain gets bad enough, they can always resort to surgery. Nothing could be further from the truth. The amount of pain someone has has very little to do with whether or not he or she would benefit from surgery. One British researcher has estimated that for every 10,000 people who experience back pain, only four need surgery. Not very many years ago, back pain patients were routinely put to bed, sometimes for weeks or months. No longer. Two or three days of bed-rest is now the norm. After that, people are advised to return to their normal activities, gradually if necessary. The reasons for the 180°shift are interesting. For starters, if you stay in bed, your muscle strength can decline by as much as three percent a day.Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.29. What misunderstanding about back pain do people hold in the beginning?30. What role does surgery play in curing back pain?31. Why don’t back pain patients get put to bed for more than two or three days?Passage ThreeNo one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and fourthousand years ago. In time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs and the Persians. The Persians called their dish sharbat, from which our word sherbet comes. Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular, first in Venice and then throughout Italy. In 1533, when Catherine de Medici left Italy to marry the future Kind Henry Ⅱof France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before. Among them was “ice cream”. For each day of the wedding festivities Catherine’s cooks prepared a different flavor of her favorite dessert - “ice cream”. At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Procopio’s “ice cream parlor” became so popular that other shops were opened. About 1640, King CharlesⅠintroduced ice cream to England. He had heard it was the rage in Italy and France. He served ice cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a great success. The king ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret. Charles felt that only royalty should be served the dessert. But the secret soon leaked out. Ice cream quickly became the rage in England too.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What is the passage mainly about?33. According to the passage, who made the first ice cream?34. When did ice cream become popular in Italy?35. Why did Charles order his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main pointsin your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.The Romans built great “aqueducts” to carry fresh water from the mountains to the cities. Many of these aqueducts are still standing today. The Roman (36) Emperors even set up a (37) government health service. They built the first great public hospitals in Europe, and they paid doctors to look after poor people.When the Roman Empire fell to pieces, these (38) civilized methods of treatment (39) disappeared from most of Europe, for more than a thousand years. People went back to the old ways. They lived in dirty conditions, which helped to cause diseases; and they asked God to cure the (40) diseases. They shut up (41) mentally sick people in prisons. Or they burnt them alive because they were supposed to have (42) magic powers. But the work of the Greek and Roman doctors was not lost.Over a thousand years ago, the Arabs moved into many of the (43) Mediterranean countries. They took big parts of the old Roman lands. (44) They translated the Greek and Roman medical books into Arabic. Arab doctors themselves made many new discoveries.(45) When civilization at last came back to Europe, men once again translated the Greek and Roman works on medicine into Latin. Slowly, European doctors discovered again the things that the Greeks and Romans had known so long ago. (46) Slowly, they began to make new discoveries and found out more about the way the body works.。

On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special.The origin of Father's Day is not clear. Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. Others say the first Father's Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington.The president of the Chicago branch (分部) of the Lions' Club, Harry Meek, is said to have celebrated the first Father's Day with his organization in 1915, and the day that they chose was the third Sunday in June, the closest date to Meek's own birthday!Regardless of when the first true Father's Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was Mrs. Bruce John Dodd of Spokane, Washington. Mrs. Dodd felt that she had an outstanding father. He was a veteran of the Civil War. His wife had died young, and he had raised six children without their mother.When children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are whimsical so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for the father's being there whenever the child needed Dad.第6题：Fathers' Day was celebrated on the ______ of Jane.参考答案：third Sunday详细解答：第7题：When was the first Father's Day celebrated? ________参考答案：In 1915详细解答：第8题：Mrs. Todd, an outstanding promoter of Fathers' Day, had a father who served as a veteran in ______.参考答案：the Civil War详细解答：第9题：Mrs. Todd's father raised ______ without their mother.参考答案：6 children详细解答：第10题：When children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send ______.参考答案：greeting cards详细解答：Part C You will hear three dialogues or monologues.

It stands on an island at the entrance to the New York City harbor. It is almost ninety-three meters tall, one of the tallest statues ever built. Its complete name is "Liberty Enlightening the World".The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the people of the United States from the people of France. It was an expression of friendship and the goal of liberty shared by the people of both countries.The idea for the statue came from a French history expert in eighteen sixty-five. Six years later, artist Frederic Bartholdi traveled to the United States to seek support for building the statue. He decided it should stand on an island in New York harbor.Bartholdi began designing the statue when he returned to France. He designed the woman's face to look like his mother's. French officials organized a group to raise money and supervise the project. The French people gave four hundred thousand dollars to build the statue. In eighteen seventy-seven, the Americans established a similar committee to raise money needed to build the statue's base.The statue was built in France. Bartholdi had hoped it would be ready on the one hundredth anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence in eighteen seventy-six. But it was not. France officially presented the statue to the United States Minister to France in Paris on July fourth, eighteen eighty-four.The statue was then taken apart and sent to the United States.第11题：Why was the Statue of Liberty closed in 2001?A.Because it couldn't endure the test of time and needed repairing.B.Because it was threatened by terrorist attacks.C.Because it was damaged by tourists.D.Because it would endanger the visitors.参考答案：B答案解析：第12题：The purpose of the speaker is to ______.A.introduce how to build a statueB.introduce how to pass a statuteC.introduce the history of the Statue of LibertyD.show the friendship between countries参考答案：C答案解析：第13题：Which of the following is INCORRECT according to the speaker?A.The Statue of Liberty was a gift to the people of the United States from the people of Germany.B.The designer designed the woman's face to look like his mother's.C.The Statue of Liberty represents a woman holding a torch of fire.D.The Statue had to be taken apart to be shipped to the US.参考答案：A答案解析：Questions 14-16 are based on the following passage.

That is part of an area that meant hope for slaves trying to escape. It was called the "freedom corridor". Black people fleeing their owners could stand on the other side of the river and dream of freedom across the water.The Freedom Center cost one hundred ten million dollars to build. Its collection shows two hundred objects. These include a copy of a wagon with a false bottom that was used to hide fleeing slaves. There are also photographs of Americans who were activists against slavery.Visitors can also see objects from the Civil War. The southern states fought the northern states from eighteen sixty-one to eighteen sixty-five. In eighteen sixty-three, President Abraham Lincoln announced an order to free the slaves.Perhaps the center's most interesting object is a small building where slaves were kept. This wooden "pen" stands two levels high. A slave trader built it in the eighteen thirties. People captured in Africa were temporarily forced to stay inside the pen. Then they were sold for service in places further south. The slave pen was found on a farm in the state of Kentucky. The owner of the farm gave it to the Freedom Center. Experts spent six years researching the history of the building.Television star Oprah Winfrey introduces one of the films shown at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. Actors tell about a young woman who escapes slavery. She flees to a town called Ripley, Ohio. Her former owners try to recapture her.

In modern times, May Day also became a traditional day for countries to honor workers.In eighteen eighty-nine, Socialists held an international congress in Paris. They chose May first as a workers' holiday and a day for demonstrations. Since then, the first of May has been observed as International Labor Day.The United States, however, had already settled on another day. Peter McGuire was a New York labor leader. He is said to have suggested the first Monday in September as a holiday to honor labor. He said it was a nice time of the year for a celebration. He suggested parades to show the strength of labor organizations. And he urged people to end the day with outdoor parties.The first Labor Day celebration in the United States took place in New York City on September fifth, eighteen eighty-two.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the space given.Passage OneQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage: Every time we open our mouths and speak we label ourselves -- I am English, you may be Bulgarian or African. We areall human beings, but sometimes we have communication problems which can lead to suspicion and misunderstanding. If you speak English, you have an advantage. The English languagemeans power and freedom to many. It dominates international relations. It affects nearly all our lives inone way or another, influencing everything from pop music to diplomatic relations. Yet only around 10% of the world's population are native English speakers. Many of you reading now will have struggled to learn the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation of this very complicated language. But there could be another solution: learning Esperanto. Esperanto, meaning "one who hopes", is an artificial language, said to be the easiest in the world to learn. It was invented in 1887 by Ludwig Zamnehof, a young Polish optician (眼镜商).The usefulness of Esperanto has been recognized the world over. It is now estimated that around eight million people in over 100 countries have at least some knowledge of it. In Esperanto, we have a language that is easy to learn and fair to all speakers because it belongs not to one nation but to us all. Many people who have tried to learn other languages and failed, have succeeded in Esperanto becauseit is so easy. Although it is often seen as a joke and not as an important living language, it has been considered dangerous and governments are sometimes afraid of it.Your view of the world is largely based on the language you speak. If you are French, you have a French view, if youare Chinese view and so on. Peter Miles, of the Esperanto Translation Service in England, says that speakingEsperanto gives you a truly international view of the world. He regards himself as a citizen of the world looking down from a satellite circling the earth, who is able to communicate with people all over the world in Esperanto. A nice thought!51. What is the best title for the passage?A) Esperanto -- An Artificial LanguageB) Esperanto -- A Language For AllC) Esperanto -- People's HopeD) Esperanto -- A Nice Thought52. Esperanto is ______.A) not an important living languageB) Zamnehof's mother tongueC) accepted by all peopleD) a favorite of some linguists53. It is implied but not stated that ______.A) Zamnehof hated RussianB) English is more difficult to learn than EsperantoC) Peter Miles is an astronautD) Eight million people can speak Esperanto54. Peter Miles is ______.A) from the Esperanto Translation Service in EnglandB) in charge of the Esperanto Translation Organization of BritainC) a member of the Esperanto Translation Organization in BritainD) a member of the Translation Service of Europe55. The author speaks of Esperanto _____.A) in an objective wayB) in a subjective wayC) in an unfavorable wayD) in a favorable wayPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage: Honeybees cannot live alone. Their body structure and instincts equip them for life in a colony of community, where they have acomplex social organization and the various duties are divided among the individuals according to physical fitness and age. An individual worker bee。

四级标准听力测试模拟三SectionB答案解析

Section B Passage One Human beings enjoy challenges. Many of them like physical challenges. They ask themselves questions like these: How fast can I run? How high can I climb? How deep can I dive? How far can I swim? How long can I hold my breath? How much can I lift? How high can I jump? Because people enjoy challenges, they like to play sports and watch other people play sports. They like climbing, running, diving, lifting, jumping, and so on. Every four years millions of people all over the world enjoy the international sports competition called the Olympics. There are challenges that are not physical challenges. There are social and intellectual challenges, too. Leonardo da Vinci, who lived in Italy during the fifteenth century, enjoyed every possible challenge. He was an artist and painted the well known picture, the Mona Lisa. He was an engineer who made plans for a city with roads under the street for traffic. He was an inventor who invented a device to let people breathe under water. He was a scientist, and he learned a great deal about human structure. Another kind of challenge faced the Egyptians between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago when they decided to build the first pyramid. They used six million tons of rock. That is enough to build a ten foot wall around all of France. Four hundred thousand men worked for twenty years to build it. So, for thousands of years, people accepted challenges. Today we still have many challenges before us. Medical science faces the challenges of conquering the many diseases which still attack human beings. Engineers and planners must build new cities and new kinds of transportation. Scientists must develop new forms of energy. And many of us are interested in the challenge of space. We live in an age of challenge. Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. When people participate in sporting activities, what kind of challenge do they face? 【解析】选[B]。

四级标准听力测试模拟三SectionB答案解析（2）

Passage Two Today we’ll examine the role that private transportation — namely, the automobile — plays in city planning. A number of sociologists blame the automobile for the decline of the downtown areas of major cities. In the 1950’s and 1960’s the automobile made it possible to work in the city and yet live in the suburbs many miles away. Shopping patterns changed; instead of going to downtown stores, people in the suburbs went to large shopping malls outside the city and closer to the home. Merchants in the city failed, and their stores closed. Downtown shopping areas became deserted. In recent years there’s been a rebirth of the downtown area, as many suburbanites have moved back to the city. They’ve done this, of course, to avoid highways blocked with commuters from the suburbs. I’ve chosen this particular city planning problem—our dependence on private transportation — to discuss in groups. I’m hoping you will all come up with some novel solutions. Oh, and don’t approach the problem from a purely sociological perspective; try to take into account environmental and economic issues as well. Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard. 29. How did the automobile affect the work force in the 1950’s and 1960’s? 【解析】选[B]。

Now scientists are finding increasing evidence that our mind can have a great effect on our physical health. Since our mind influences how we feel, it's not impossible to say that someone is ill just because he feels ill.�W�WThe influence of the mind on how well we feel is the basis of whatis known as the placebo (which is Latin for \sometimes given placebo pills and begin to feel better because they believe that they have been given real drugs and expect to respond to them. The placebo effect is very strong: research on pain suggests that up to 30% of the effect of most painkillers is a placebo effect. �W�WSo if it's so powerful, why don't doctors use it today?�W�WAccording to Dr. Persaud, they do. \being scanned（扫描）all have a very strong placebo effect,\31.

These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.�W�WMost of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages.�W�WModern science fiction writers don't often write about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the effects of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imaginingfuture worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones.�W�WIn an age where science fact frequently overtakes science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology and come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.36.
