The second trip was made in October last year.One of the creatures made a dramatic appearance by moving on to the head of the team leader as he slept.The snake has been named silver boa because it is metallic 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 Museum of NaturalHistory, said: “Worldwide new species of frogs are being discovered and described quite regularity.

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.W: And he believed her?M: Yeah, he’s only a little boy. 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. And I’m still terrified today, sort of subconsciously. You know, if I swallow one by mistake…W: Yeah, I suppose you're right. The one that used to get me was that swans could break your leg when they blow of the wing.M: They can, can’t they? I always thought they could.W: No, they are not that strong. But there’s another one even more terrifying. That is, if you put a post stamp on upside down, you will go to prison.M: No, never heard of that. But my grandmother was a terror for that kind of thing. For example, she would say, you will get a spot on your tongue if you tell a lie. If you eat stale bread, your hair will curl.

A.One would get a spot on their tongues if they told a lie deliberately.B.One would have to shave their head to remove a bat in their hair.C.One would go to prison if they put a stamp on upside down.D.One would have curly hair if they ate too much stale bread.听力篇章第一篇：If I could go back in history and live when I liked, I wouldn't go back very far. 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 just heard:16. Why does the speaker say he would like to relive the 1960s?17. What does the speaker say was the most popular thing to do at that time?18. What do we learn about the speaker?听力篇章第二篇：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 themouth, 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 develop better 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?Q20. What does a dog do when it sees the expressions of angry dogs?Q21. How does a dog sense people's feelings?听力篇章第三篇：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. To 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. Some animals 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?23. What do we learn about animals that sleep through winter?24. How do animals like mice adapt to the severe winter?25. Why do some birds fly in groups when migrating, according to the speaker?。

Hops, for example, which give many a modern beer its bitter flavor, are a _____(26)recent addition to the beverage. This was mentioned in reference to brewing in the ninth century. Now, researchers have found a _____(27)ingredient in residue(残留物) from 5000-year-old beer brewing equipment. While excavating two pits at a site in the central plains of China, scientists discovered fragments from pots, funnels, amphorae, and stoves (stove fragment pictured). The different shapes of the containers _____(28)they were used to brew, filter, and store beer. They may be ancient “beer-making toolkits,”and the earliest _____(29)evidence of beer brewing in China, the researchers report online today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The majority of the grains, about 80%, were from cereal crops like millet and barley(大麦), and about 10% were bits of roots, _____(32)likely, would have made the beer sweeter, the scientists say. Barley was an unexpected find: The crop was domesticated in western Eurasia and didn’t become a _____(33)food in central China until about 2000 years ago, according to the researchers.

A. For most of us, memory is a mess of blurred and faded pictures of our lives. As much as we would like to cling on to our past, even the saddest moments can be washed away with time.B. Ask Nima Verseh what he was doing for any day in the past 15years, however, and he will give you the details of the weather, what he was wearing, or even what side of the train he was sitting on his journey to work. “My memory is like a library of video tapes, walk-throughs of every day of my life from waking to sleeping,”he explains.C. Veiseh can even put a date on when those tapes started recording: 15 December 2000, when he met his first girlfriend at his best friend’s16th birthday party. He had always had a good memory, but the thrill of young love seems to have shifted a gear in his mind: from now on, he would start recording his whole life in detail. “I could tell you everything about every day after that.”D. Needless to say, people like Veiseh are of great interest to neuroscientists (神经科学专家) hoping to understand the way the brain records our lives. A couple of recent papers have finally opened a window on these people’s extraordinary minds. And such research might even suggest ways for us all to relive our past with greater clarity.E. ‘Highly superior autobiographical memory’(or HSAM for short) , first came to light in the early 2000s, with a young woman named Jill Price, Emailing the neuroscientist and memory researcher Jim McGaugh one day, she claimed that she could recall every day of her life since the age of 12. Could he help explain her experiences?F. McGaugh invited her to his lab, and began to test her: he would give her a date and ask her to tell him about the world events on that day. True to her word, she was correct almost every time.G. It didn’t take long for magazines and documentary film-makers to come to understand her “total recall”,and thanks to the subsequent media interest, a few dozen other subjects (including Verseh) have since come forward and contacted the team at the University of California, Irvine.H. Interestingly, their memories are highly self-centred: although they can remember “autobiographical”life events in extraordinary detail, they seem to be no better than average at recalling impersonal information, such as random (任意选取的) lists of words. Nor are they necessarily better at remembering a round of drinks, say. And although their memories are vast, they are still likely to suffer from “false memories”.Clearly, there is no such thing as a “perfect”memory—their extraordinary minds are still using the same flawed tools that the rest of us rely on. The question is, how?I. Lawrence Patihis at the University of Southern Mississippi recently studied around 20 people with HSAM and found that they scored particularly high on two measures: fantasy proneness (倾向) and absorption. Fantasy proneness could be considered a tendency to imagine and daydream, whereas absorption is the tendency to allow yur mind to become fully absorbed in an activity—to pay complete attention to the sensations (感受) and theexperiences. “I’m extremely sensitive to sounds, smells and visual detail,”explains Nicole Donohue, who has taken part in many of these studies. “I definitely feel things more strongly than the average person.”J. The absorption helps them to establish strong foundations for recollection, says Patihis, and the fantasy proneness means that they revisit those memories again and again in the coming weeks and months. Each time this initial memory trace is “replayed”,it becomes even stronger. In some ways, you probably go through that process after a big event like your wedding day—but the difference is that thanks to thir other psychological tendencies, the HSAM subjects are doing it day in, day out, for the whole of their lives.K. Not everyone with a tendency to fantasies will develop HSAM, though, so Patihis suggests that something must have caused them to think so much about their past. “Maybe some experience in their childhood meant that they became obsessed (着迷) with calendars and what happened to them,”says Patihis.L. The people with HSAM I’ve interviewed would certainly agree that it can be a mixed blessing. On the plus side, it allows you to relive the most transformative and enriching experiences. Verseh, for instance, travelled a lot in his youth. In his spare time, he visited the local art galleries, and the paintings are now lodged deep in his autobiographical memories.M. “Imagine being able to remember every painting, on every wall, in every gallery space, between nearly 40 countries,”he says. “That’s a big education in art by itself.”With this comprehensive knowledge of the history of art, he has since become a professional painter. N. Donohue, now a history teacher, agrees that it helped during certain parts of her education: “I can definitely remember what I learned on certain days at school. I could imagine what the teacher was saying or what it looked life in the book.”O. Not everyone with HSAM has experienced these benefits, however. Viewing the past in high definition can make it very difficult to get over pain and regret. “It can be very hard to forget embarrassing moments,”say Donohue. “You feel the same emotions—it is just as raw, just as fresh…You can’t turn off that stream of memories, no matter how hard you try.”Veiseh agrees: “It is like having these open wounds—they are just a part of you,”he says.P. This means they often have to make a special effort to lay the past to res. Bill, for instance, often gets painful “flashbacks”,in which unwanted memories intrude into his consciousness, but overall he has chosen to see it as the best way of avoiding repeating the same mistakes. “Some people are absorbed in the past but not open to new memories, but that’s not the case for me. I look forward to each day and experiencing something new.”36. People with HSAM have the same memory as ordinary people when it comes to impersonal information.37. Fantasy proneness will not necessarily cause people to develop HSAM.38. V erseh began to remember the details of is everyday experiences after he met his first young love.39. Many more people with HSAM started to contact researchers due to the mass media.40. People with HSAM often have to make efforts to avoid focusing on the past.41. Most people do not have clear memories of past events.42. HSAM can be both a curse and a blessing.43. A young woman sought explanation from a brain scientist when she noticed her unusual memory.44. Some people with HSAM find it very hard to get rid of unpleasant memories.45. A recent study of people with HSAM reveals that they are liable to fantasy and full absorption in an activity.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. 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 mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.The phrase almost completes itself: midlife crisis. It’s the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing, their prospects narrowing and death approaching.There’s only one problem with the cliché(套话) . It isn’t true.“In fact, there is almost no hard evidence for midlife crisis other than a few smallpilot studies conducted decades ago,”Barbara Hagerty writes in her new book, Life Reimagined. The bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause, or a shifting of gears in the 40s or 50s, but this shift “can be exciting, rather than terrifying.”Barbara Hagerty looks at some of the features of people who turn midlife into a rebirth. They break routines, because “autopilot is death.”They choose purpose over happiness—having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. They give priority to relationships, as careers often recede (逐渐淡化).Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy. Midlife seems life the second big phase of decision—making. Your identity has been formed; you’ve built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.Karl Barth described midlife precisely this way. At middle age, he wrote, “the sowingis behind; now is the time to reap. The run has been taken; now is the time to leap. Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself.”The middle-aged person, Barth continued, can see death in the distance, but moves with a “measured haste”to get big new things done while there is still time.What Barth wrote decades ago is even truer today. People are healthy and energetic longer. We have presidential candidates running for their first term in office at age 68, 69 and 74. A longer lifespan is changing the narrative structure of life itself. What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point—the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.46. What does the author think of the phrase “midlife crisis”?A. It has led to a lot of debate.B. It is widely acknowledged.C. It is no longer fashionable.D. It misrepresents real life.47. How does Barbara hagerty view midlife?A. It may be the beginning of a crisis.B. It can be a new phase of one’s life.C. It can be terrifying for the unprepared.D. It may see old-age diseases approaching.48. How is midlife pictured in the book Life Reimagined?A. It can be quite rosy.B. It can be burdensome.C. It undergoes radical transformation.D. It makes for the best part of one’s life.49. According to Karl Barth, midlife is the time .A. to relaxB. to matureC. to harvestD. to reflect50. What does the author say about midlife today?A. It is more meaningful than other stages of life.B. It is likely to change the narrative of one’s life.C. It is more important to those with a longer lifespan.D. It is likely to be a critical turning point in one’s life.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.In sprint, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs”that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,”says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.”Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patternswere believed to offer protection against evil.“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,”says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old Symbols, however, still endure. A decorate egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.51. Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?A. It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.B. It is their major source of protein in winter.C. It can easily be made into a work of art.D. It can bring wealth and honor to them.52. What do we learn about the decorated “eggs”in Russia?A. They are shaped like jewel cases.B. They are cherished by the rich.C. They are heavily painted in red.D. They are favored as a form of art.53. Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?A. Eggs serve as an enduring symbol or new life.B. Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.C. Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.D. Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.54. Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?A. She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.B. She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.C. She always derives great pleasure from designing something new.D. she is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.55. What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting?A. It originated in the eastern part of Europe.B. It has a history of over two thousand years.C. It is the most time-honored form of fancy artD. It is especially favored as a church decoration.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.黄河是亚洲第三、世界第六长的河流。

2017年6月大学英语四级听力在线练习篇1American soldier Bowe Bergdahl has returned to active duty in the United States Army. The Taliban in Afghanistan kidnapped and held Sergeant Bergdahl for five years.An Army spokesman said Monday that Sergeant Bergdahl has completed the final part of the recovery process. He said the soldier is being sent to a U.S. Army base near San Antonio in the southern state of Texas, where he can, in the spokesmans words, "contribute to the mission."A U.S. Defense Department spokesman said Sergeant Bergdahl will be doing administrative work. The Army said an investigation continues into the facts surrounding his disappearance and capture.U.S. Army Sergeant Bowe Berghdal is pictured in this undated handout photo provided by the U.S. Army.Military officials say he walked away from his base in Afghanistan in 2009. Some of his former military workers say he willingly left his group, or unit.The Afghan Taliban released the sergeant May 31 in a prisoner exchange. The U.S. released five Taliban leaders held in U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The exchange caused intense debate. The Taliban detainees were sent to Qatar. The Qatari government has said it will watch the five men for a year.Sergeant Bergdahl was examined at a U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, after his release. He later was moved to a military hospital at Fort Sam Houston in Texas for treatment. Reports say he will live in military housing at the base in Texas.Sergeant Bergdahls release led to celebration in the United States. But that turned into a political debate about whether he had left his post and whether the prisoner exchange should have taken place.2017年6月大学英语四级听力在线练习篇2The Brazilian government says it invested billions of dollars to prepare for the 2014 World Cup. The money has been spent on infrastructure like roads and stadiums for World Cup events. It also has paid for security and social projects. The government says these investments will result in long-term gains for Brazil, but independent experts say effects of the spending are mixed.Urban planners say the $11 billion spent on stadiums and infrastructure has created jobs for poor Brazilians, but they say this development has a price. The public works have driven up the cost of housing. This, say some experts, has push poor people further away from jobs and public services.Brazil stars mourn unhappy endingSome people are questioning the value of Police Pacification Units, called the UPP in Portuguese. Officials have sent the special police forces to drive out drug traffickers and other criminals. But the results have been mixed, says Chris Gaffney. He teaches at Fluminense University in Rio de Janeiro.Professor Gaffney says the drug traffickers just move their operations to other favelas. But he adds that the UPP have brought some order to once lawless neighborhoods."These places were closed in many respects to the formalmarket. But the UPP goes in [to the favela] and it removes the barrier of the drug traffickers and allows all kinds of market forces to flow through it," explained Gaffney.He says these forces have opened some areas to tourism or state-support projects or businesses. The organizing body of the World Cup, FIFA, also invested in social programs.Lisa Delpy Neirotti is with Georgetown University in Washington D.C. She says the investments have led to programs for educating young people about the environment, the disease AIDS, or the importance of staying in school. She says FIFA pressure the Brazilian government to accept some pro-environmental measures like treating and reusing waster at stadiums.FIFA also wanted the structures built for the World Cup to meet the guidelines of LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The U.S. Green Building Council set up the LEED Certification Program to recognize best in class building policies.Brazils government says the World Cup will add billions of dollars to the economy, but many Brazilians believe the money will go to only a few people.Critics note some cities in Europe have rejected proposals to hold huge sporting events. They say a new models is needed if nations organizing such activities are to avoid protests like those earlier in Brazil.2017年6月大学英语四级听力在线练习篇3The end of the World Cup does not mean the end of international competition in Brazil this year. A major football event will happen in the South American country later this month, but with teams of robots playing the game, which is known assoccer in the United States. The robot teams are guided by teams of humans from around the world. The event is known as RoboCup.Technology students at the University of Pennsylvania are trying for their fourth victory at the competition, which is held this year in the coastal city Joao Pessoa. The students have won the last three RoboCup competitions.US students prepare for robotic football championshipWatching robots play football is similar to watching children play the game. The kicks are not good, theres a lot of falling down, and people are there to guide and support the team members. Jian Qiao Li is one of the leaders of the University of Pennsylvania team.He says one goal he has for the robot team is to make sure the machines can find the goal and the ball. He also wants the robots to be able to know where they are on the playing field. And he wants the team to be able to better control the walking and kicking abilities of the robots.Qin He is another leader of the robot team. She says the abilities of the robots increase every year. Ms. He says the US team is meeting its goals.The robots know the differences between the colors green and red, and they can decide where to go and where the ball is on the playing field. She says if there are three robot players on the field at the same time, they will communicate with each other to decide the different responsibilities for each robot.U.S. team member Christopher Akatsuka hopes for another victory in Brazil. The team has won the RoboCup the past three years in the Netherlands, Mexico and Turkey."They have very good team player right now. As long as theirdetection is good, I think theyll be very competitive; we just hope to compete against the real good German teams, because the Germans always do very well," says Akatsuka.Mr Akatsuka says RoboCup is an exciting technology competition."Each team develops their own software; basically its a competition of who has the best software, who has the best decision-making at a given point... its really exciting," says Akatsuka.The event begins July 19th and ends July 25th. Some RoboCup participants hope to develop a team of robots that can play against humans by 2050.。

2017年6月大学英语四级听力真题原文（卷一）

【导语】以下是⽆忧考整理的2017年6⽉⼤学英语四级听⼒真题原⽂（卷⼀），仅供参考。

⼩编提醒：英语四级考试采取“多题多卷”模式，试题顺序不统⼀，请依据试题进⾏核对！⼀.新闻听⼒【News Report 1】 One of Google's self-driving cars crashed into a bus in California last month. There were no injuries. It is not the first time one of Google's famed self-driving cars has been involved in a crash, but it may be the first time it has caused one. On February 14th the self-driving car, travelling at 2mph (3km/h), pulled out in front of a public bus going 15mph(24km/h). 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 a statement, Google said: "We clearly bear some responsibility, because if our car hadn't moved, there wouldn't have been a crash." That said, our test driver believed the bus was going to slow or stop to allow us to merge into the traffic, and that there would be sufficient space to do that." The company's self-driving cars have done well over a million miles across various states in the US, and until now have only reported minor accidents. Q1: According to Google, what was the cause of the accident? B The test driver made a wrong judgement Q2: How have Google’s self-driving cars performed so far? D They have generally done quite well. 【News Report 2】 Thousands of bees left a town after landing on the back of a car when their queen got stuck in its boot. Tom Moses who works at a nearby national park, noticed a “brown patch” on the back of the car after the owner parked it to do some shopping. When he looked closer he realized it was a huge group of bees. Moses said: “I have never seen that many bees in one spot. It was very unusual. They were very close together and there was a lot of noise and movements, 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 bees specialists who helped removed 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 am pleased that all worked out and I could help, people need to realize that bees are valuable and they should be looked after. Q3. What do we learn about Tom Moses? A He works at a national park. Q4. What do we know about the bees on the back of the car? B They were making a lot of noise. 【News report 3】 A new species of snake has been discovered on a remote island in the Bahamas. Scientists identified 20 of the one meter-long snakes during two trips to the Caribbean islands. The second trip was made in October last year. One of the creatures made a dramatic appearance by moving on to the head of the team leader as he slept. The snake has been named silver boa because it is metallic 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 Museum of Natural History, said: “Worldwide new species of frogs are being discovered and described quite regularity. New species of snakes, however, are much rarer. Q5. What is the news report mainly about? A The discovery of a new species of snake. Q6. What do we learn about the scientific team leader? C A snake crawled onto his head in his sleep. Q7. How did the newly discovered creature get its name? D From its colour. ⼆.对话听⼒【Conversation 1】 W: Did you enjoy your stay with us, Mr. Brown? M: Yes, very much. I had a wonderful time here. Now I'm going to the airport. My flight leaves in less than 2 hours. So, could you tell me, what's the quickest way to get there? W: Well, we can call a taxi for you. We also have a free airport shuttle service. M: That sounds great, but will the shuttle get me to the airport in time? W: Yes, it should. The next shuttle leaves in 15 minutes. And it takes some 25 minutes to get to the airport. M: Fantastic! I'll just wait in the lobby. Will you please let me know when it's leaving? W: Of course, sir. M: Now I would like to settle my mini-bar bill. How much is that? W: Let's see. It comes to $37.50. How would you like to pay for it? M: I'll pay with my credit card. Thanks. But I'll need a receipt, so I can charge it to my company. W: Absolutely! Here you are, sir. If you like, I can leave your bags with the porter. And he can load them onto the shuttle for you when it arrives. M: That would be great. Thank you. W: Would you like to leave a comment on our web page when you have time? M: Sure. I had a really good stay here, and I'd like to recommend your hotel to my friends and colleagues. W: That’s very kind of you. Thank you again for staying at Sheraton Hotel. Q8. Why does the man ask about the quickest way to the airport? A The security check takes time. Q9. How is the man going to pay his bill? B By credit card. Q10. What did the man ask the woman to do? A Give him a receipt. Q11. What favor does the woman ask of the man? D Posting a comment on the hotel’s webpage. 【Conversation 2 】 M: 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. W: And he believed her? M: Yeah, he’s only a little boy. 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. And I’m still terrified today, sort of subconsciously. You know, if I swallow one by mistake… W: Yeah, I suppose you're right. The one that used to get me was that swans could break your leg when they blow of the wing. M: They can, can’t they? I always thought they could. W: No, they are not that strong. But there’s another one even more terrifying. That is, if you put a post stamp on upside down, you will go to prison. M: No, never heard of that. But my grandmother was a terror for that kind of thing. For example, she would say, you will get a spot on your tongue if you tell a lie. If you eat stale bread, your hair will curl. And here’s one more. We went on a campaign trip once in Italy, and my wife spent the whole time worrying about bats getting into her hair. She said her grandmother reckoned you had to shave your head to get it out. My wife was really terrified. W: Silly, isn’t it? But that’s how some parents try to keep their kids from doing the wrong thing or getting into trouble. Q12: What does the man say about Ben? C He has stopped making terrible faces. Q13: What did aunt Marry used to do when the man was a child? D Warn him of danger by making up a story. Q14: What does the woman believe swans could do? They could break pp’s legs. Q15: What did the grandmother of the man’s wife say? B One would have to shave their head to remove a bat in their hair. 三.短⽂听⼒【Passage 1】 If I could go back in history and live when I liked, I wouldn't go back very far. 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.

DCBAC听力原文News Report OneAutomakers and tech companies are working hard to offer the first true self-driving car, but 75% of drivers say they wouldn’t feel safe in such a vehicle. Still, 60% of drivers would like to get some kind of self-driving feature, such as automatic braking or self-parking, the next time they buy a new car. The attitudes are published in a new AAA (Triple A) survey of 1,800 drivers.Advocates of self-driving cars argue they would be safer than cars driven by humans because they wouldn’t get distracted or drive when tired. But those surveyed by AAA say they trust their own driving skills. Many feel the technology is too new and unproven.John Nielsen, AAA’s managing director of automotive engineering and repair, said tests suggest drivers may be overestimating their own abilities. He also believes they will be more likely to trust self-driving cars as they become more familiar with features such as automatic braking or parking. He estimated that the “comfort level” will increase considerably in five to ten years.1.What is the finding of the AAA survey?2.What does John Nielsen say about self-driving cars?News Report TwoOne dog has been killed and multiple dogs have been injured by a snowmobile driver in what appears to be an intentional attack on competitors in the Iditarod Race in Alaska.Aliy Zirkle was the first to report an attack. A snowmobile driver had repeatedly attempted to harm her and her team, and one of Zirkle’s dogs had received a non-life-threatening injury. Zirkle reported the attack when she arrived in Nulato, Alaska, in the early hours of the morning. Then Jeff King, a four-time champion, reported a similar attack. His team was hit by a snowmobile driver, injuring several dogs and killing a 3-year-old male dog. Reporter Zachariah Hughes says that neither King nor Zirkle was injured. Although this incident very much alters the race of the two participants competing for a win, both are going to continue on their way toward the finishingline.Alaska State Troopers released a statement saying they’ve arrested Arnold Demoski, 26. He faces a trial on several charges.3.What is the news report mainly about?4.What do we learn about Jeff King?News Report ThreeA tour boat turned over off the coast of Nicaragua, killing at least 13 people and leaving more passengers missing, officials said.The boat was carrying 32 people — 25 Costa Ricans, four Americans and three Nicaraguans. The 13 dead were all Costa Rican, the foreign ministry said. The boat, traveling between Nicaragua’s Big Corn Island and Little Corn Island, turned over Saturday near the larger island. Some passengers remain missing, the Costa Rican foreign ministry said, but did not specify how many. A local radio said an unspecified number of people were rescued, including the tour boat’s owner, Hilario Blandon. Nicaraguan naval authorities had banned sea travel in the area because of bad weather and strong winds, but the tour boat proceeded anyway.Blandon, the boat’s owner, has been arrested by Nicaraguan authorities, the state-run news agency said. 7Both he and a crew member, are being investigated for unintentional murder and exposing people to danger, according to police.5. What happened to the tour boat sailing off the Nicaraguan coast?6. How many people was the boat carrying?7. What do we know about the owner of the boat?Section BConversation OneM: Hi, Susan! You’re looking very smart today.W: I always look smart, James. Actually I’m on my way to a job interview.M: What job? Oh, you mean for the summer holidays?W: Yeah, there is only two weeks to go. I’ve got a second interview with that big foreign accountancy firm in the city center. You know the one.M: That’s fantastic!W: The work is just helping out with the data input, you know, but the pay isn’t too bad. It might suit you too. I know they hav e released two temporary positions available. And I don’t think they have anyone else yet.M: Um, if they take you on, tell them you know a friend who’d be really good too. I really need the money, and the experience will look good on my resume. Maybe we’ll be working together, the dream team.W: OK, we’ll do. If the boss likes me, I’ll mention it. It will be good to have someone around who I know. I’ll phone you afterwards. But perhaps you should put in an application anyway.M: Thanks, Susan. That’s great! Listen, do you want a lift to the city? I have my dad’s car today and nothing else to do this morning.W: Sure. Thanks, James.M: Let’s go then. The car is over there.W: By the way, how is your knowledge of accountancy? The interviewer may ask you about it.M: No problem. I think I can survive. 11I might just have to review a few accountancy terms. Maybe you can give me a practicing interview first.W: Of course. Let’s go then. Don’t want to be late!8. Where will Susan probably get a job?9. What will Susan’s future job involve?10. Why did James want the job in that company?11. What did James say he’ll have to do to prepare for the interview?Conversation TwoW: There is new data out today the confirms that many Americans are not good at math. And when it comes to everyday technology skills, we are did last compared to other developed countries. Here is Gabriele Emannuel of National Public Radio.M: Let’s start with the bad news that Americans are terr ible at technology skills, using email, naming a file on the computer, using the link on a webpage or just texting someone.W: No country scored below the US.M: Only one country, Poland performed as poorly as we did. Who came out the first? Japan did the best and then Finland. If you look at data about reading and math, you’ll notice something interesting: Young adults who went to college or graduate school were doing pretty well. In literacy, they were actually doing better than the peers in any other countries.W: So that’s a bit of good news!M: But when you look at Americans who have a high school diploma, they look a lot like other countries’ high school dropouts. We have a lot of work to do. That’s especially true when it comes to math. You go to the store and there is a sale. Buy one, get the second one, half off. You decide to buy two, how much you pay?W: You mean high school graduates cannot do this task in general?M: You are right. What does that tell us about our education system? Well, it tells us that we need to think about the preparedness of our students as they are leaving high school.W: Right. And schools, employers, in fact, we all need to do something about it. Thank you, Gabriele.12. What does the man say about Americans?13. Who performs the best in technology skills according to the man?14. In what aspect did American college students perform well?15. What do we learn from the conversation about American high school education?Section CPassage OneWild carrots probably evolved with the other flowering plants, about 360 million years ago. Like apples, carrots are native to Central Asia. That’s why horses, which also come from Central Asia, like both apples and carrots so much. With wild carrots, the roots are white, small and skinny, so we have to pick a lot of wild carrots to get enough to eat. Doctors used carrot seeds and roots as medicine, on the theory that foods that taste bad must be good for you.Around 800 AD, people in Central Asia, managed to develop a new kind of carrot—a purple carrot—thatattracted more interest from international traders. Then in the late 1500s, food scientists in the Netherlands cultivated large, straight, sweet, red carrots like the ones we eat today. But people still mostly fed carrots to horses, donkeys and pigs, and didn’t eat them themselves. In the 1600, people in China used carrots as medicine, but they also ate carrots boiled in soup. The red color was popular for Chinese New Year celebrations.But carrots got their biggest boost during the two World Wars, when food shortages force people to eat them, and governments told everyone how healthy carrots were. Today, cooler countries grow most of the world’s carrots. Mac hines do most of the planting and picking, and carrots are easy to store and ship, so they are cheap almost everywhere.16. What do we learn from the talk about wild carrots?17. What does the speaker say about carrots in the late 1500s?18. Why did people turn to carrots for food during the two World Wars?Passage TwoKatherine loved Facebook. With Facebook she could stay connected with her family no matter how far away they were. She could see their photos and read their status updates. With Facebook she could keep her relatives up to date on what she was doing. Another thing Katherine loved about Facebook was that she didn’t have to think about time zones when updating family. Whenever she called her parents or other relatives, she always had to think about the time difference so that she wouldn’t wake someone up or call when she knew they were in church.Facebook was so convenient. When Katherine joined Facebook, some of her classmates at high school started to add her as a friend. At first, this didn’t bother her. She loved learning about the success of people she knew when she was just a teenager. She loved finding out people were getting married, having babies and traveling. Soon however, Katherine found herself comparing herself with the people she was reading about on Facebook. It began to make her feel bad that some people seemed to be doing so much better than she was. She was also spending a lot of time on Facebook. It took a lot of time and energy to keep up with everyone’s status updates. Katherine started to think. She looked at the list of over 500 friends she had on Facebook and realized some of them were not really friends at all.19. What was one particular convenience Katherine loved about Facebook?20. How did Katherine feel when her classmates added her as a Facebook friend?21. What made Katherine feel bad about herself later on?Passage ThreeDo you know where a mule comes from? It is the child of a donkey and a horse. Mules have strong muscles like horses but they eat less, can work longer, and are gentler, like donkeys. George Washington was the first person in the United States to own mules. He had heard that mules made good farm animals. And he contacted the US ambassador in Spain to ask about them. In 1785, King Charles III of Spain sent Washington a male donkey as a gift. That male donkey became the father of the mule industry in the US.Every April, Maury County holds a Mule Day celebration. Held in Columbia, Tennessee, Mule Day had its beginning as “Breeders’ Day” in the 1840s. Farmers and farm animal breeders would bring their animals to market every April to show, buy, and trade. This was an important business before the days of tractors, when many families made a living from farming and mules were used as work animals. Eventually, tractors began to replace mules, making them less in demand.A parade was added to Mule Day in 1934 to attract more people. Over the years other activities have beenadded, and today more than 200,000 people show up each year to watch and participate. If you visit the Mule Day celebrations, you might see mule-driving contests, square dances or shows, or even a lumberjack competitions.22. What does the speaker say about mules?23. What do we learn about the donkey which is said to be the father of the US mule industry?24. What did farmers usually do on Mule Day in the 1840s?25. What made mules less in demand in America?【参考译文】The Pearl River, an extensive river system in southern China, flows through Guangzhou City. It is China’s third-longest river, only after the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. The Pearl River Delta (PRD) is one of the most developed regions in China with an area of about 11,000 square kilometers. It is the largest urban area in the world in both size and population. The nine largest cities of PRD have a combined population of over 57 million. Since the reform and opening up was adopted by the Chinese government in the late 1970s, the Delta has become one of the leading economic regions and a major manufacturing center of China and the world.。

2017年6月英语四级听力真题（第一套）

2017年6⽉英语四级听⼒真题（第⼀套）长对话第⼀篇： W: Did you enjoy your stay with us, Mr. Brown? M: Yes, very much. I had a wonderful time here. Now I'm going to the airport. My flight leaves in less than 2 hours. So, could you tell me, what's the quickest way to get there? W: Well, we can call a taxi for you. We also have a free airport shuttle service. M: That sounds great, but will the shuttle get me to the airport in time? W: Yes, it should. The next shuttle leaves in 15 minutes. And it takes some 25 minutes to get to the airport. M: Fantastic! I'll just wait in the lobby. Will you please let me know when it's leaving? W: Of course, sir. M: Now I would like to settle my mini-bar bill. How much is that? W: Let's see. It comes to $37.50. How would you like to pay for it? M: I'll pay with my credit card. Thanks. But I'll need a receipt, so I can charge it to my company. W: Absolutely! Here you are, sir. If you like, I can leave your bags with the porter. And he can load them onto the shuttle for you when it arrives. M: That would be great. Thank you. W: Would you like to leave a comment on our web page when you have time? M: Sure. I had a really good stay here, and I'd like to recommend your hotel to my friends and colleagues. W: That’s very kind of you. Thank you again for staying at Sheraton Hotel. Q8. Why does the man ask about the quickest way to the airport? Q9. How is the man going to pay his bill? Q10. What did the man ask the woman to do? Q11. What favor does the woman ask of the man? 长对话第⼆篇： Long conversation 2 M: 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. W: And he believed her? M: Yeah, he’s only a little boy. 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. And I’m still terrified today, sort of subconsciously. You know, if I swallow one by mistake… W: Yeah, I suppose you're right. The one that used to get me was that swans could break your leg when they blow of the wing. M: They can, can’t they? I always thought they could. W: No, they are not that strong. But there’s another one even more terrifying. That is, if you put a post stamp on upside down, you will go to prison. M: No, never heard of that. But my grandmother was a terror for that kind of thing. For example, she would say, you will get a spot on your tongue if you tell a lie. If you eat stale bread, your hair will curl. And here’s one more. We went on a campaign trip once in Italy, and my wife spent the whole time worrying about bats getting into her hair. She said hergrandmother reckoned you had to shave your head to get it out. My wife was really terrified. W: Silly, isn’t it? But that’s how some parents try to keep their kids from doing the wrong thing or getting into trouble. Q12: What does the man say about Ben? Q13: What did aunt Marry used to do when the man was a child? Q14: What does the woman believe swans could do? Q15: What did the grandmother of the man’s wife say? 短⽂第⼀篇： If I could go back in history and live when I liked, I wouldn't go back very far. 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 just heard: 16. Why does the speaker say he would like to relive the 1960s? 17. What does the speaker say was the most popular thing to do at that time? 18. What do we learn about the speaker? 短⽂第⼆篇： 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 develop better 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? Q20. What does a dog do when it sees the expressions of angry dogs? Q21. How does a dog sense people's feelings? 短⽂第三篇： Winter in many places is very cold. There is lots of snow around, and the ground freezes, which can make life difficult foranimals. 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. To 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. Some animals 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? 23. What do we learn about animals that sleep through winter? 24. How do animals like mice adapt to the severe winter? 25. Why do some birds fly in groups when migrating, according to the speaker?更多四级真题答案请见>>>。

“黄”这个字描述的是其河水浑浊的颜色。

黄河发源于青海，流经九个省份，最后注入渤海。

黄河是中国赖以生存的几条河流之一。

黄河流域(river basin)是中国古代文明的诞生地，也是中国早期历史上最繁荣的地区。

然而，由于极具破坏力的洪水频发，黄河曾造成多次灾害。

在过去几十年里，政府采取了各种措施防止灾害发生。

The Yellow River ranks the third longest in Asia and the sixth longest in the world. The word “yellow”describes the muddy water of the river. The Yellow River，one of several rivers for China to live on，originates from Qinghai，flows through nine provinces, and finally pours into the Bohai Sea. The river basin is not only the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization，but also the most prosperous region in the early history of China. However,due to the frequent devastating floods, it has caused many disasters. In the past few decades,the government has taken various measures to prevent disasters. 听力：SectionA News 1 B The test driver madea wrong judgement 2 D They have generally done quite well.3 A He works at a national park.4 B They were making a lot of noise.5 A The discovery of a new species of snake.6 C A snake crawled onto his head in his sleep.7 D From its colour.

J preventing 34. N sufficient 35. F increased 【原文】As if you needed another reason to hate the gym, it now turns out that exercise can exhaust not only your muscles, but also your eyes. Fear not, however, for coffee can perk them right up again. During vigorous exercise, our muscles tire as they run out of fuel and build up waste products. Muscle performance can also be affected by a phenomenon called “central fatigue,” in which animbalance in the body’s chemical messengers prevents the central nervous system from directing muscle movements effectively. It was not known, however, whether central fatigue might also affect motor systems not directly involved in the exercise itself—such as those that move the eyes. To find out, researchers gave 11 volunteers a carbohydrate solution either with a moderate dose of caffeine—which is known to stimulate the central nervous system—or as a placebo without, during 3 hours of cycling. After exercising, the scientists tested the cyclists with eye-tracking cameras to see how well their brains could still control their visual system. The team found that exercise reduced the speed of rapid eye movements by about 8%, preventing their ability to capture new visual information. The caffeine—the equivalent of two strong cups of coffee—was sufficient to counteract this effect, with some cyclists even displaying increased eye movement speeds, the team reports today in Scientific Reports. So it might be a good idea to get someone else to drive you home after that marathon. 段落信息匹配：36 [H] 题干：Successful team leaders know exactly where the team should go and are able to take promptaction. 37 [D] 题干：Decentralisation of authority was also found to be more effective in military operations. 38 [B] 题干：In many companies,the conventional form of organisation is giving way to a network of teams.39 [J] 题干：Members of poorly managed teams are easily distractedfrom their work. 40 [G] 题干：Teamwork is most effective when team members share the same culture. 41 [A] 题干：According to a report by Deloitte,teamwork is becoming increasingly popular among companies. 42 [F] 题干：Some team members find it hard to agree on questions like membership and the team's purpose. 43 [E] 题干：Some scholars think teamwork may not always be reliable,despite its potential to work wonders. 44 [I] 题干：To ensure employee's commitment,it is advisable to give them more flexibility as to where and how they work. 45 [C] 题干：Product transitions take much less time now than in the past. 仔细阅读1：46 D Britons have developed the habit of saving. 47 B It will remain gloomy. 48 C Luxurious features add much to the price.49 A They are particular about the quality of toilet paper. 50 D Environmental protection is not much of a concern when Britons buy toilet paper. 仔细阅读2：51 B She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly. 52 D They were offered nicotine replacements.53 C It is encouraging. 54 B needs some practice first. 55 A They find it even more difficult. 写作：Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an advertisement on your campus website to sell a computer you used at college. Your advertisement may include its brand, specifications/features, condition and price, and your contact information.

Here consumers can buy almost everything they need. People don't have to waste a lot of their energy and precious time to go from one shop to another to choose the commodities they like. This is especially desirable to the old, the sick and the busy people who cannot go to the shops in person. All they need to do is to sit in front of their computers and click the mousses. The commodities they order will be delivered to them promptly. 资料来源于网络。
