What about?A: One of the press operators arrived an hour and a half late.B: But that's a straightforward affair. He will simply lose partof his pay. That's why we have a clock-in system.A: But the point is the man was clocked-in at 8 o'clock. We have John standing by the time clock, and he swears he saw nothing irregular.B: Is John reliable?A: Yes, he is. That's why we chose him for the job.B: Have you spoken to the man who was late?A: Not yet. I thought I'd have a word with you first. He's a difficult man, and I think there's been some trouble on the shop floor. I've got a feeling that trade union representative is behind this. The manager told me that Jack Green's been very active around the shop the last few days.B: Well, what do you want me to do?A: I was wondering if you'd see Smith, the man who was late, because you are so much better at handling things like this.B: Oh, alright. I'll see him. I must say I agree with you about there being bad feelings in the works. I've had the idea for sometime that Jack Green's been busy stirring things up in connectionwith the latest wage claim. He's always trying to make trouble. Well, I'll get the manager to send Smith up here.Q8. What will happen to the press operator who was late for the work according to the woman?Q9. What does the man say about John who stands by the time clock?Q10. Why does the man suggest the woman see the worker who was late?Q11. What does the woman say about Jack Green?Conversation 2A: Our topic today is about somethings that foreigners nearly always say when they visit Britain. It's 'Why are the British so cold?' And they're talking about the British personality – thefamous British 'reserve'. It means that we aren't very friendly, we aren't very open.B: So do you think it's true?A: It's a difficult one. So many people who visit Britain sayit's difficult to make friends with British people. They say we're cold, reserved, unfriendly...B: I think it's true. Look at Americans or Australians. They speak the same language, but they're much more open. And you see it when you travel, people - I mean strangers - speak to you on the street or on the train. British people seldom speak on the train. Or the bus. Not in London, anyway.A: 'Not in London'. That's it. Capital cities are full of tourists and are never very friendly. People are different in other parts of the country.B: Not completely. I met a woman once, an Italian. She's been working in Manchester for two years,and no one - not one of her colleagues - had ever invited her to their home. They were friendly to her at work, but nothing else. She couldn't believe it. She said that would never happen in Italy.A: You know what they say – 'an Englishman's home is his castle'. It’s really difficult to get inside.B: Yeah. It's about being private. You go home to your house and your garden and you close the door. It's your place.A: That's why the British don't like flats. They prefer to livein houses.B: That’s true.Q12. What do foreigners generally think of British people according to the woman?Q13. What may British people typically do one the train according to the man?Q14. What does the man say about the Italian woman working in Manchester?Q15. Why do British people prefer houses to flats?Section CDirections: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear three or four questions.

At the same time, expenses in college pile up surprisingly quickly. A part time job is a good way to balance costs while ensuring there is enough time left over for both academic subjects and after-class activities.If you are a college student looking for a part time job, the best place to start your job search is right on campus. There are tons of on-campus job opportunities, and as a student, you’ll automatically be given hiring priority. Plus, on-campus jobs eliminate commuting time, and could be a great way to connect with academic and professional resources at your university. Check withyour school’s career service or employment office for help to find a campus job. Of course, there are opportunities for part-time workoff-campus, too. If you spend a little time digging for the right part time jobs, you’ll save yourself time when you find a job that leaves you with enough time to get your school work done, too. If you are a college student looking for work but worry you won’t have enough time to devote to academic subjects, consider working as a study hall or a library monitor. Responsibilities generally include supervising study spaces to ensure that a quiet atmosphere is maintained. It’s a pretty easy job, but one with lots of downtime-which means you will have plenty of time to catch up on reading, do homework or study for an exam.Q16: What does the speaker say about college students applyingfor on-campus jobs?Q17: What can students do to find a campus job according to the speaker?Q18: What does the speaker say is a library monitor’s responsibility?Passage TwoAgricultural workers in green tea fields near Mt. Kenya are gathering the tea leaves. It is beautiful to see. The rows of tea bushes are straight. All appears to be well. But the farmers who planted the bushes are worried. Nelson Kibara is one of them. He has been growing tea in the Kerugoya area for 40 years.He says the prices this year have been so low that he has made almost no profit. He says he must grow different kinds of tea if he is to survive.Mr. Kibara and hundreds of other farmers have been removing some of their tea bushes and planting a new kind of tea developed by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya. Its leaves are purple and brown. When the tea is boiled, the drink has a purple color. Medical researchers have studied the health benefits of the new tea. They say it is healthier than green tea and could be sold for a price that is three to four times higher than the price of green tea.But Mr. Kibara says he has not received a higher price for his purple tea crop.He says the market for the tea is unstable and he is often forced to sell his purple tea for the same price as green tea leaves. Hesays there are not enough buyers willing to pay more for the purple tea.Q19. Why have tea farmers in Kenya decided to grow purple tea?Q20. What do researchers say about purple tea?Q21. What does Mr. Kibara find about purple tea?Passage ThreeToday's consumers want beautiful handcrafted s to wear and tohave for their home environment. They prefer something unique andthey demand quality. Craftsmen today are meeting this demand. People and homes are showing great change as more and more uniquehandcrafted items become available. Handcrafts are big business. No long does a good craftsman have to work in a job he dislikes all day and then try to create at night. He has earned his professional status. He is now a respected member of society. Parts of the fun of being a craftsman is meeting other craftsmen. They love to sharetheir ideas and materials and help others find markets for their work. Craftsmen have helped educate consumers to make wise choices. They help them become aware of design and technique. They help them relate their choice to its intended use. They often involve consumers intrying the craft themselves. When a group of craftsmen expends to include more members, a small craft organization is formed. Such an organization does a lot in training workshops in special media, craft marketing techniques, craft fairs and sales, festivals, TV appearances and demonstrations. State art councils help sponsor local arts and crafts festivals which draw crowds of tourist consumers.This boosts the local economy considerably because tourists not only buy crafts, but they also use the restaurants and hotels and other services of the area.Q22. What does the speaker say about today's consumers?Q23. What does the speaker say about a good craftsman in the past?Q24. What do craftsmen help consumers do?Q25. Why do state art councilshelp sponsor local arts and crafts festivals?听力参照答案：Section A1. [A] It was dangerous to live in.2. [B] A storm3. [B] They were trapped in an underground elevator.4.

历年英语四级听力真题及答案

2012年6月英语四级Students have been complaining more and more about stolen property.Radios, cell phones, bicycles, pocket (36)calculators, and books have all been reported stolen. Are there enough campus police to do the job? There are 20 officers in the campus security division. Their job is to (37)handle crime, accidents, lost and found (38)items, and traffic problems on campus. More than half of their time is spent directing traffic and writing parking tickets. (39)Responding promptly to accidents and other (40)emergencies is important, but it is their smallest job. Dealing with crime takes up the rest of their time. Very (41)rarely did any violent crimes actually (42)occur.In the last five years there have been no (43)murders, seven robberies, and about sixty other violent attacks, most of these involving fights at parties. On the other hand, (44)there have been hundreds of thefts and cases of deliberate damaging of public property, which usually involves breaking windows or lights, or writing on walls. The thefts are not the carefully planned burglaries that you see in movies.(45)Things get stolen when it is just easy to steal them because they are left lying around unwatched. Do we really need more police?Hiring more campus police would cost money, possibly making our tuition go up again.(46) A better way to solve this problem might be for all of us to be more careful with our things.2011年12月Our lives are woven together. As much as I enjoy my own (36) company,I no longer imagine I can get through a (37) single day much less all my life(38) completely on my own. Even if I am on (39) vacation in the mountains,I am eating food someone else has grown, living in a house someone else has(40) built, wearing clothes someone else has sewn from cloth woven by others, using (41) electricity someone else is distributing to my house. (42) Evidence of interdependence is everywhere; we are on this (43) journey together.(44) As I was growing up, I remember being carefully taught that independence not interdependence was everything. “Make your own way”,“Stand on your own two feet” or my mother’s favorite remark when I was face-to-face with consequences of some action:“Now that you’ve made your bed, lie on it！” Total independence is a dominant thing in our culture. I imagine that (45) what my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibilities for my actions and my choices. But the teaching was shaped by our cultural imagines. And instead, I grew up believing that I was supposed to be totally independent and consequently became very reluctant to ask for help.(46) I would do almost anything not to be a burden, and not require any help from anybody.2011年6月大学英语四级听Contrary to the old warning that time waits for no one, time slows down when you are on the move. It also slows down more as you move faster, which means astronauts(宇航员)__________ someday may (36)__________ so long in space that they would return to an Earth of the (37)__________ future.

Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneI first met Joe Gumps when we were both 9 years old, which is probablythe only reason he is one of my best friends. If I had first met Joe as a freshman in high school, we wouldn’t even have had thechance to get to know each other. Joe is a day student, but I ama boarding st udent. We haven’t been in the same classes, sportsor extra curriculum activities. Nonetheless, I spend nearly every weekend at his house, and we talk on the phone every night. This is not to say that we would not have been compatible if we had first met in our freshman year. Rather, we would not have been likely to spend enough time getting to know eachother, due to the lack of immediately visible mutual interests.In fact, to be honest, I struggle even now to think of things we have in common, but maybe that’s what makes us enjoy each other’s company so much. When I look at my friendship with Joe, I wonder how many people I’ve known whom I never disliked but simply didn’t take the time to get to know. Thanks to Joe, I have realized how little basis there is, for the social divisions that exist in every community. Since this realization, I have begun to make an even more determined effort to find friends in unexpected people and places. Questions:26.

He drove back out onto the street looking for a parking space. The first block was full. The next block was almost empty.

But we don't really understand what it is. We seem to feel that some people are naturally creative, but we don't know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural gift like good looks Or is it something that can be acquired like knowledge Perhaps if we analyze the creative process carefully, we might get some insight into what it is and how it might work in our lives. The creative process has always been accepted as a source of all important work in the arts. But we should not think the creativity play the role only in the arts. Every major scientific discovery began with someone imagining the world to look differently from the way others saw it. And this is what the creativity is all about. Imagining the world in a new way, and despite what you maybelieve about the limits of your own creative imaginations, we all have the potential to imagine the world in an absolute new way. In fact, you were born with it. It is your birth right as a human being. And what's more, you use it every day almost every moment of your life. Your creative imagination is what you use to make sense of your experiences. It's your creative mind to get the meaning from the chaos of your experiences and brings order to your world. 32: What did the speaker most probably discuss last time32. A)Famous creative individuals. C)A major scientific discovery.B)The mysteriousness of creativity. D)Creativity as shown in arts.33: What is a widely accepted idea about the creative process 33. A)It is something people all engage in. C) It starts soon after we are born.B) It helps people acquire knowledge. D) It is the source of all artistic work.34: What leads to major scientific discoveries according to the speaker34. A) Creative imagination. C) Natural curiosity.B) Logical reasoning. D) Critical thinking.35: What does the speaker imply about the creative process35. A)It is beyond ordinary people. C)It is part of everyday life.B)It is yet to be fully understood. D)It is a unique human trait.Students have been complaining more and more about stolen property. Radios, cell phones, bicycles, pocket （calculators ）and books have all been reported stolen. Are there enough campus police to do the job There are 20 officers in the campus security division. Their job is to（handle） crime, accidents, lost and found （items）, and traffic problems on campus. More than half of their time is spent directing traffic and writing parking tickets. Responding promptly to accidents and other （emergencies） is important, but it is their smallest job. Dealing with crime takes up the rest of their time. Very （rarely）did any violent crimes actually （occur）.In the last five years there have been no （murders）, seven robberies, and about sixty other violent attacks, most of these involving fights at parties. On the other hand, （there have been hundredsof thefts and cases of deliberate damaging of public property）, which usually involves breaking windows or lights, orwriting on walls. The thefts are not the carefully planned burglaries that you see in movies. （Things get stolen when it is just easy to steal them because they are left lying around unwatched.） Do we really need more policeHiring more campus police would cost money, possibly making our tuition go up again. （A better way to solve this problem might be for all of us to be more careful with our things.）短对话：15.
