Unit 6-Conversation 1Janet: What are you reading, KateKate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know itJanet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary.Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year.Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials.Janet: My screen's gone dark.Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously.Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet.Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything!Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ...I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ...Janet: If only I'd backed things up!Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK.Janet: I hope so.Unit 6-Conversation 2Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland.Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ...Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop!Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon.Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work.Kate: She should have been more careful.Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief!Kate: You were talking in your sleep.Janet: What was I sayingKate: "Stupid, stupid."M ark: I've sorted out your computer.Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problemMark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark.Kate: He's great, isn't heJanet: Yes. So are you, Kate.Kate: You're such a good friend.Unit 6-Outside viewComputers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about thatUnit 6-Listening inNews ReportUS Scientists have announced the discovery of gravitational waves, which are tiny waves produced by massive objects moving very quickly. Two black holes produced the waves when they crashed into each other about billion years ago. A black hole is a place in space where the gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape. This announcement of the discovery comes a century after Albert Einstein first predicted gravitational waves would exist.The discovery was made possible by using a highly sensitive instrument designed to detect signals of gravitational waves and identify their sources. This discovery proves that there are gravitational waves, and strongly confirms the existence of black holes.With this discovery, scientists are given a new tool to study and understand the universe. The waves could help scientists learn more about what happened immediately after the universe began and how the universe expanded. Scientists hope that they may be able to observe parts of the universe that were previously undetectable.1.What discovery have US scientists made2.What features do black holes have according to thenews report3.Why is the discovery importantPassage 1When you have a biscuit with your cup of tea, do you dunk it And if so, what’s the perfect way to do it That’s the subject of today’s Science in Action report. It may be hard to believe but scientists at the University of Bristol have been analyzing this question. And after a two-month study they devised a mathematical formula for dunking biscuits. So no more melting chocolate, or biscuit crumbs in the bottom of your cup, which is the fate of one in four biscuits that are dunked in tea, according to research by a biscuit manufacturer. Doughnut dunkers don’t face the same problems because doughnuts are held together with an elastic net of protein, gluten. This substance allows the doughnut to absorb liquid without breaking down its structure. The structure of a biscuit, however, is held together by sugar which melts when placed in hot tea or coffee.So what is the answer The researcher, let by Dr. Len Fisher, discovered that holding the biscuit in a horizontal position – or “flat-on”– has a significant effect on the amount of time that a biscuit can stay in hot liquid before falling apart. In fact this horizontal dunking results in a dunking time up to four times longer than traditional vertical dunking.What’s the reason for this It seems that the answer is related to diffusion, in other words, the length of time it takes for the liquid to penetrate the structure of the biscuit. Basically, it takes longer for the liquid to travel through the channels of a biscuit when it is laid flat on the surface of the liquid. Also the fact that when a biscuit is dunked horizontally, with the biscuit submerged in the liquid, and the chocolate coating staying out of the liquid, the chocolate helps hold the biscuit together. Another factor influencing the equation is the temperature of the tea –the hotter the tea, the faster the sugar melts.Researchers also found that by dunking a biscuit into tea or coffee, up to ten times more flavor is release than it the b iscuit is eaten dry. So it’s worth experimenting yourself. If you are wondering how you can perfect the horizontal dunk, the researchers have come up with an idea for a biscuit-holding device to make dunking biscuits easier. They are even mow working on producing a table giving guidelines on dunking times for different types of biscuit. On that note, I think it’s time to go off to the canteen for a tea break!Passage 2Peter: Hey Louise, look at this book about crop circles - some of the photos are absolutelyunbelievable.Louise: You don t believe in all that stuff, do you PeterPeter: I'm not saying I believe in UFOs and things, but some of the formations are fascinating.They’re made up of lots of interconnectedcircles and geometrical shapes. You know, inthe past few years, there have been morereports of them. The circles are gettinglarger and the designs are getting moreintricate... I'm sure that they can't all beman-made. Think about it - they're socomplicated, and they appear at night in themiddle of fields of wheat barley or corn.It’s definitely pretty weird!Louise: I know, but l saw a TV documentary about it, and they showed how a group of hoaxers madean elaborate crop circle in a field at nightusing wooden plank, ropes, plastic tubes anda garden roller. They even fooled some of thepeople who believe in the paranormal-alienscoming down in UFOs and aliens coming downin UFOs and creating them, and so on. Peter: I'm sure lots of them are created by people just to get publicity but look here-it says,“The first records of crop circles go backas far as the 17th century. Since the 1970sthere have been over 12,000 reports fromcountries all around the world includingItaly, America, South Africa, Australia andBrazil.” Most reports are from here inEngland though.Louise: B ut surely that’s just because they get so much media coverage these days, so morepeople are making them.Peter: Perhaps, but how do you explain the fact that the actual chemical composition of thegrains of corps inside the circles changesScientific tests have found they have ahigher protein level. The stems of the grainshave often been exposed to high temperatures.And they found that the soil within thecircles contains more iron than the soiloutside. So far, the hoaxers haven't beenable to copy all these features.Louise: W ell, I'm not a scientist but I'm pretty sceptical about all these so-calledparanormal explanations. I remember in theprogramme I watched, the researchers foundsigns of human interference, such as holesin the earth and footprints!Peter: Come on… you must admit, that still leavesa lot which is unexplained!Louise: T here's lots of things that are hard to explain but this really...。

新标准⼤学英语视听说教程听⼒原⽂Unit 6-Conversation 1Janet: What are you reading, KateKate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know itJanet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary.Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year.Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials.Janet: My screen's gone dark.Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously.Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet.Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything!Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ...I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ...Janet: If only I'd backed things up!Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK.Janet: I hope so.Unit 6-Conversation 2Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland.Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ...Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop!Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon.Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work.Kate: She should have been more careful.Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief!Kate: You were talking in your sleep.Janet: What was I sayingKate: "Stupid, stupid."M ark: I've sorted out your computer.Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problemMark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark.Kate: He's great, isn't heJanet: Yes. So are you, Kate.Kate: You're such a good friend.Unit 6-Outside viewComputers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about thatUnit 6-Listening inNews ReportUS Scientists have announced the discovery of gravitational waves, which are tiny waves produced by massive objects moving very quickly. Two black holes produced the waves when they crashed into each other about billion years ago. A black hole is a place in space where the gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape. This announcement of the discovery comes a century after Albert Einstein first predicted gravitational waves would exist.The discovery was made possible by using a highly sensitive instrument designed to detect signals of gravitational waves and identify their sources. This discovery proves that there are gravitational waves, and strongly confirms the existence of black holes.With this discovery, scientists are given a new tool to study and understand the universe. The waves could help scientists learn more about what happened immediately after the universe began and how the universe expanded. Scientists hope that they may be able to observe parts of the universe that were previously undetectable.1.What discovery have US scientists made2.What features do black holes have according to thenews report3.Why is the discovery importantPassage 1When you have a biscuit with your cup of tea, do you dunk it And if so, what’s the perfect way to do it That’s the subject of today’s Science in Action report. It may be hard to believe but scientists at the University of Bristol have been analyzing this question. And after a two-month study they devised a mathematical formula for dunking biscuits. So no more melting chocolate, or biscuit crumbs in the bottom of your cup, which is the fate of one in four biscuits that are dunked in tea, according to research by a biscuit manufacturer. Doughnut dunkers don’t face the same problems because doughnuts are held together with an elastic net of protein, gluten. This substance allows the doughnut to absorb liquid without breaking down its structure. The structure of a biscuit, however, is held together by sugar which melts when placed in hot tea or coffee. So what is the answer The researcher, let by Dr. Len Fisher, discovered that holding the biscuit in a horizontal position – or “flat-on”– has a significant effect on the amount of time that a biscuit can stay in hot liquid before falling apart. In fact this horizontal dunking results in a dunking time up to four times longer than traditional vertical dunking.What’s the reason for this It seems that the answer is related to diffusion, in other words, the length of time it takes for theliquid to penetrate the structure of the biscuit. Basically, it takes longer for the liquid to travel through the channels of a biscuit when it is laid flat on the surface of the liquid. Also the fact that when a biscuit is dunked horizontally, with the biscuit submerged in the liquid, and the chocolate coating staying out of the liquid, the chocolate helps hold the biscuit together. Another factor influencing the equation is the temperature of the tea –the hotter the tea, the faster the sugar melts. Researchers also found that by dunking a biscuit into tea or coffee, up to ten times more flavor is release than it the b iscuit is eaten dry. So it’s worth experimenting yourself. If you are wondering how you can perfect the horizontal dunk, the researchers have come up with an idea for a biscuit-holding device to make dunking biscuits easier. They are even mow working on producing a table giving guidelines on dunking times for different types of biscuit. On that note, I think it’s time to go off to the canteen for a tea break!Passage 2Peter: Hey Louise, look at this book about crop circles - some of the photos are absolutelyunbelievable.Louise: You don t believe in all that stuff, do you PeterPeter: I'm not saying I believe in UFOs and things, but some of the formations are fascinating.They’re made up of lots of interconnectedcircles and geometrical shapes. You know, inthe past few years, there have been morereports of them. The circles are gettinglarger and the designs are getting moreintricate... I'm sure that they can't all beman-made. Think about it - they're socomplicated, and they appear at night in themiddle of fields of wheat barley or corn.It’s definitely pretty weird!Louise: I know, but l saw a TV documentary about it, and they showed how a group of hoaxers madean elaborate crop circle in a field at nightusing wooden plank, ropes, plastic tubes anda garden roller. They even fooled some of thepeople who believe in the paranormal-alienscoming down in UFOs and aliens coming downin UFOs and creating them, and so on. Peter: I'm sure lots of them are created by people just to get publicity but look here-it says,“The first records of crop circles go backas far as the 17th century. Since the 1970sthere have been over 12,000 reports fromcountries all around the world includingItaly, America, South Africa, Australia andBrazil.” Most reports are from here inEngland though.Louise: B ut surely that’s just because they get so much media coverage these days, so more people are making them.Peter: Perhaps, but how do you explain the fact that the actual chemical composition of the grains of corps inside the circles changesScientific tests have found they have ahigher protein level. The stems of the grainshave often been exposed to high temperatures.And they found that the soil within thecircles contains more iron than the soiloutside. So far, the hoaxers haven't beenable to copy all these features.Louise: W ell, I'm not a scientist but I'm pretty sceptical about all these so-called paranormal explanations. I remember in theprogramme I watched, the researchers foundsigns of human interference, such as holesin the earth and footprints!Peter: Come on… you must admit, that still leavesa lot which is unexplained!Louise: T here's lots of things that are hard to explain but this really...。

Many restaurants, in particular the great chain restaurant company, McDonald's, specialize in "fast food蔦food which is served at the counter ready H to go”，or H to take out n. The food, cooked and hot, is packed into cardboard and plastic containers, and hot drinks go into plastic cups with tight-fitting lids. There are also drive-in fast-food restaurants, where customers do not have to leave their cars. They first stop at a board where the menu is displayed, give an order through a microphone and then drive another twenty yards, where a girl hands them the meal ready cooked and packed・ People who prefer to eat at a table in the restaurant also receive their food in cardboard or plastic containers, and the knives, forks and spoons are plastic, too. When they have finished, customers throw everything except the tray into a trash can.Part BIn most cities, large and small, you can eat Mexican or Italian food. And even small towns have coffee shops serving simple meals, drinks of all kinds, and excellent, freshly made coffee. You sit at the counter, or are served at a table. Service in restaurants and coffee shops is efficient and friendly. Waiters and waitresses often introduce themselves, H Hi! Em Don (or Debbie). What can I get you folks?” This friendliness is natural and not entirely influenced by the hope of a high tip. In any case, people usually tip 15 percent of the check. One of the most pleasant things about waiters and waitresses is that they refill your coffee cup several times for no extra charge.Listening IIIScript:1.The big baker bakes black bread.2."The bun is better buttered," Bill muttered.3.CheryPs cheap chip shop sells cheap chips.4.You can have:Fried fresh fish,Fish fried fresh,Fresh fried fish,Fresh fish fried.Or fish fresh fried.5.All I want is a proper cup of coffeeMade in a proper coffee pot.You can believe it or not一I want a cup of coffeeIn a proper coffee pot.Tin coffee pots orIron coffeepots.TheyTe no use to me.If I can't have aProper cup of coffeeIn a proper copper coffeepot、PH have a cup of tea.Listening IV1.

Its going to be a long six weeks!Listening III1TFTFTT2foreign owners / foreign food / aware / very good / time/ effort / slower / a hurry / shopping and sightseeingScript:Visitors to Britain are always complaining about English food. But they do not really know what they are talking about because they rarely get a chance to eat it. Most of the restaurants in large towns have foreign owners and serve foreign food・When visitors are invited to eat in an English home, their hosts often feel they must offer them something foreign and exotic. Those of us who do know English food are aware that at its best it can be really very good. On the other hand it is true to say that sometimes it is terrible. Part of the problem is that we are not really interested in food 一we eat to live; we do not live to eat. So we don't generally spend the necessary time and effort needed to cook really good meals. We prefer food that is simple and easy to cook, or ready prepared food which only needs heating up before eating. You can find the best English food in the country away from the large towns, where life is slower and people are not in such a hurry. But, of course, most visitors come to London. They come because they are interested in shopping and sightseeing. They do not come because of food, so why should they complain about it?Listening IV1.CDE2.Television / Meat and potatoes / Sugar-filled biscuits, cakes and chips / Becausechemicals make the hamburgers look good. / One can remain healthy withoutmeat.Script:All right! Enough biscuits, cola, and chips! It seems that junk food is all that the children want to eat these days. Television controls their tastes. The kids see well-known personalities eating potato chips, candy, and other processed food, and they want to be like their heroes. How do they do it? They eat the same food. I wish there were more characters like old Popeye the sailor, who ate spinach and not chips. Just because I like brown rice, beans, and fresh vegetables, I don*t expect my children to eat this "health food11. Fm glad to cook traditional meals of meat and potatoes for them. I really can't be too upset with the kids because most adults aren't careful about what they eat. The other night, my wife and I went to a party where there was plenty to drink but very little for us to eat. They served hot dogs and hamburgers. I can't eat hotdogs, with all those preservatives, and hamburgers are filled with chemicals so that they look good. Besides the meat, they had sugar-filled biscuits and cake, and, of course, chips. Terrible! I don't want the world to change because of me, but I think that people should realize that there are alternatives to eating meat. They always tell me that I probably don't get my essential proteins. But I feel better than ever and Fm sure that it's because Fm vegetarian. I would really like to see more television advertisements which show the benefits of good, healthy, natural food・。

T FQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Just like an S1 .individual a mutual fund can also buy or sell shares of a company's stock. A mutual fund is a group of stocks and bonds that is S2 owned by a group of people. A financial company is in charge of the mutual fund, which is S3 managed by one or more portfolio managers. The people who S4 invest . in mutual funds are also known as shareholders because a unit of S5 ownership in a mutual fund is called a share. A mutual fund uses the cash invested by its S6 shareholders to purchase stocks, or in some case, bonds. The fund's shareholders are indirect S7 investors in that portfolio of stocks or bonds. Since a mutual fund may contain the stocks of many companies in its portfolio, S8 . shareholders are often able to own a greater and more diverse number of stocks than if they invested directly in the stock marketMost mutual funds are open-end funds. This means that at the end of every day, S9 the investment management company sponsoring the fund issues new shares to investors and buys back shares from investors wishing to leave the fund .A mutual fund can also be a closed-end fund. The sponsor of a closed-end fund registers and issues a fixed number of shares at the initial offering, similar to a common stock. Investors then can buy or sell these shares through a stock exchange. S10The sponsor does not buy back or issue shares after a closed-end fund is launched, so the investor must trade them through a broker.Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.How can a teen be convinced to stop smoking--or persuaded never to take up the habit at all?Those questions became even more crucial last week when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that tobacco use among teenagers increased by nearly one-third in the last decade . In 1994, 27.5% of teens used cigarettes, smokeless tobacco or cigars. In 2004, 36.4% did .Teens have their own issues their own pressures. What works for adult smokers may not work for adolescents.To survey the teens, the questions must be carefully phrased because "teens get turned off if you ask them a lot of direct questions ,"says April Roeseler, a health educator and chief of local programs for the Tobacco Control Section of the California Department of Health Services, which runs the California Smokers’ Helpline. With teenagers, counselors aim to be more conversational.The first phone call generally takes about 45 minutes, with discussion about why the teen began smoking and the extent of the habit. In the next few weeks, the counselor sets up additional telephone appointments, with up to a total of eight sessions.Now 260 teens who have participated in the program are being followed, says Lester Brown, assistant professor of family and preventive medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and the principal investigator for the project. Researchers want to see whether the teens who quit remain nonsmokers."Things are looking promising," he says, but he could offer no success-rate figures. Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Every day, the average person breathes in about 20,000 liters of air. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air.Air pollution includes all pollutants found in the atmosphere These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles.Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Pollutants can be trapped inside buildings, causing indoor pollution that lasts for a long time.The sources of air pollution are both natural and human-based. As one might expect, humans have been producing increasing amounts of pollution as time has progressed, and they now account for the majority of pollutants released into the air.Air pollution has been a problem throughout history Even in Ancient Rome people complained about smoke put into the atmosphere .The effects of air pollution are diverse and numerous.Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings , and severely affects the natural ecosystem.Because it is located in the atmosphere, air pollution is able to travel easily. As a result, air pollution is a global problem and has been the subject of global cooperation and conflict.Some areas now suffer more than others from air pollution.Cities with largenumbers of automobiles or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from air pollution problems. .Part 1 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.In such a mature industry with many low-fare competitors and tiny profits from operations, it is essential that airline managers identify controllable costs.In order to establish and maintain air services, airlines have a high level of fixed and operating costs: labor, fuel , airplanes, engines, spares and parts, IT services and networks , airport equipment, airport handling services, sales distribution, training,insurance , and other costs. Thus all but a few cents on the dollar in ticket sales is paid out to a wide variety of external providers or internal cost centers. Moreover, the industry is structured so that airlines often act as tax collectors. Ticket prices include a number of fees, taxes , and surcharges they have little or no control over , and these are passed through to various providers. Airlines are also responsible for carrying out government regulations.If airlines carry passengers without proper documents on an international flight, they are responsible for carrying them back to the originating country .Analysis of the last five years shows that all the other player s in the air transport chain are far more profitable than the airlines, who collect and pass through fees and revenues to them from ticket sales.While airlines as a whole earned 6% return on capital employed, airports earned 10% , catering companies 10-13% , handling companies 11-14%, aircraft lessors 5%, aircraft manufacturers 16%, and global distribution companies more than 30%.Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Many Americans buy an evergreen tree for Christmas. They put the tree in their home and hang small lights and colorful objects on it. The evergreen is usually a pine or a fir tree. It remains green during the cold, dark months of winter in the northern part of the world. So it is a symbol of everlasting life.The Christmas tree may have developed in part from a popular play performed. hundreds of years ago in what is now Germany. Traditionally, the play was held on December twenty-fourth, the day before Christmas. The play was about the first people that God created--Adam and Eve. People put apples on an evergreen tree to represent the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden.By the year 1600, some Germans began bringing evergreen trees into their homes. They put fruit, nuts and sweets on the trees They shared the food among family members and friends after the holiday season.Some people say the German religious reformer Martin Luther was the first person to add lighted candles to a tree. They say he did this to show how wonderful the stars had appeared to him as he traveled one night .In the early 1800s, German settlers in the state of Pennsylvania were the first to celebrate the holiday with Christmas trees in the United States.The Christmas tree tradition spread to many parts of the world. Today, some form of Christmas tree is part of most Christmas celebrations.Some peopleput a star on top of their Christmas tree. It represents the star that led the three wise men to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.。

Morgis happy to be alive.Tuesday was like any other day for Morgan. She was at school. It was fourth period, and she was the first student to arrive in the gymnasium for her physical education class.Suddenly, there was a loud noise.“There w a s a sharp cracking noise and then a loud boom. After that, I don’t remember anything.” said Morgan.The roof of the gymnasium had collapsed under the heavy snow. Morgan was trapped underneath, she couldn’t escape.“I woke up and there was a big piece of wood on my leg, I couldn move it. I was starting to get cold.” Fortunately, help was nearby. A new program using “rescue robot” was tried for the first time.“We were nervous about using the robot,” said Derrick Sneed the man in charge of the program，“but in the end ,the robot gave us reliableinformation. It was extremely well.”The rescue robot was able to go into the gym and locate Morgan’sexact position.“We send in robot first because it may not be safe for humans,”s are not as useful as robots in some situations.Mr. Sneed. “Human beingA gas leak, for example, could kill you or me, but wouldn’t hurt a roAlthough it didn’t happen in Morgan’s case, some rescue robots can bring fresh air or water to people who are trapped.Rescue robots go into rough, dangerous places. They work in life ordeath situations. They have to be durable.Doctor says that Morgan is doing well. She should be going home intwo or three days. What is the first thing she wants to do after she gets outof the hospital?“I want to meet my hero,” laughs Morgan, “that little robot that savedmy life！”Ad or no adIs advertising really necessary? B illions of dollars are spent on itevery year, so it must be important. After all, it’s a busy world. You haveto advertise, sell products and make money.！Not every company thinks that way. The No-Ad company (“no-ad”stands for “not advertised”) avoids big advertising campaigns. The company was started in 1960, and is successful today. Their products are still affordable because the company saves the money on advertising. They also use their savings to support a drug and alcohol awareness program to educate high school students.No-Ad sells by word of mouth. “Word of mouth advertising” happens when a person tells another person about a good experience with a product or service. That second person then tells another friend, family member or colleague. And so a chain of information is created.Typically, advertisers talk about how good their product is. Although they say things like, “Studies show that our product is the best”or “Everyone loves this product”, it can sound insincere or unconvincing. It’s much more believable to hear about a product from someone who did not make it. Our friends’ opinions are very important to us, so we often listen to their advice about a product.Word-of-mouth advertising has other advantages too, it’s cost-effective (after all, it’s free). And a company doesn’t have to create a complex business plan to do it. Here is some advice for small business about word- of-mouth advertising:Be prepared to talk about your company at any time. You never know------who you will meet. Always carry business cards.Only say positive things about your company. Don’t say negative things about your company.Help other companies by referring people to them. The more you help others, the more good fortune will come back to you.-----。

City Disease1Task One: Traffic Congestion and Soaring Housing PricesIn this part the program is turned on to the 12th Five-Year-Plan that beginsin 2011. And one focus of that is to tackle challenges during China’s urbanization.When cities become larger, how can they also become more livable? Our reporter Wang Guan joined us here in the studio. He did a bit of research on a problem perhaps few of us can escape today, which is called traffic congestion. So Wang Guan, looks like traffic in big cities is getting worse and seriously compromising our quality of life!Oh! Yes, James. Few would argue that China, as an emerging economy, needs to sell cars. In fact, it sold more cars than any other country since 2009. This is also the problem. Take Beijing for example, the city where we are living. The city already has more than 4 million vehicles. And in the first half of this year, nearly two-thousand a day were added to the street. If this trend continues, in 4 years time, the capital will have 7 million cars.To put the figure into perspective, the maximum capacity for the city’s urban area is 200-thousand vehicles. In other words, should Beijing’s first, second and third ring roads become congested, they can only accommodate less than a quarter of a million vehicles, let alone seven million.And it’s amazing also to find out how OFTEN Beijingers use their vehicles. For example, recently I have did a little bit of research that according to the Beijing Traffic Research Center, the annual mileage of Beijing residen ts’ cars is 15 thousand kilometers, twice the number of Tokyo and 1.5 times than the residents in London. And 40 percent of the times, Beijingers use their cars for trips less than 5 kilometers, which is considered not necessary for taking rides with cars.Let’s look at Beijing and the other big cities, including many many big cities in China. But what about China’s smaller cities, especially its many many towns?We learned soaring housing prices is a major issue in Chinese second-tier cities. For example, in the first quarter, home prices increased more than 10 percent in cities such as Haikou, Kunming and Shenzhen, as are shown. You can see right now as shown in yellow. And also in cities including Nanjing, Shantou and Tangshan, the figure reached nearly 20 percent.The rising real estate price is believed to be associated with a controversial land-bidding system. Now developers who offer the highest price, and possibly withthe strongest connections with key local officials, get the land, regardless of their2 professional track record or credentials.A report submitted by the NPC standing committee says in 2009, less than 30 percent of the central governments budget for affordable housing was duly spent by local officials.So the lack of supervision and transparency we see here are believed to be a cause, which also gives rise to irregular dealings and corruption in other spheres of the society. That includes illegal land-grabbing, cronyism in the workplace, and academic misconduct. All these prevented these second-tier and third-tier Chinese cities from becoming fairer.Task Two: Difficulties in Buying a HouseSpecial Report: Global Financial CrisisAs the US economy goes into recession Americans are finding it’s difficult to buy a house. Real estate agents are having a tough time. Zeng Siwei takes a look at the current US housing market.John Jameson is the president of a consulting firm in Washington. He can earn more than 700-thousand US dollars a year. Thirteen years ago, John bought a villa in Washington for 250-thousand dollars. But he moved out after he and his wife divorced. Since then, he has been living with his daughter in a rented apartment. John now wants a change. This villa costs nearly 2.5 million dollars. It’s merely three blocks away from his office.(John Jameson, Home Buyer)All makes it the best of Washington. And it’s got a lot of space. It’s got back yard, front yard, windows on the side, and a lot of bedrooms and a big basement and a nice family area. John decides to buy the villa and apply for a mortgage from the bank.(John Jameson, Home Buyer)“I have a good income from my business. I have a lot of savings and a perfect credit record. So I thought they’re gonna say, ‘No problem, we’ll give you a loan immediately.’ That’s what I thought.”But it turns out to be opposite.(John Jameson, Home Buyer)“It was what they told me. One, I’m gonna have to go to see very senior management in the bank. And two, the loan is gonna require a much much larger down payment than just six months ago.”A higher down payment is not a big deal for John. But he has to wait longer for the mortgage approval. And that’s what really makes him anxious. The banks have their own explanation for raising the threshold. According to statistics from the National Association of Realtors, ten percent of US home buyers with mortgages are behind on their payments for more than a month, or face foreclosures during the third quarter. The stricter evaluation procedures and higher down payment are preventing many low-income Americans from buying houses. This is creating tough times for real estate agents.3 (Wang Jianyu, Real Estate Agent)“It used to take one or two months to sell a house. Now it normally needs three to four months, or even more.”Real estate developers face the same woes.In 2008, nearly five million homes have been sold in the US, over 12 percent down from last year. And the sales volume for new homes is 486 thousand, over 37 percent less from 2007.(Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist, National Association Realtors)“I n some places home prices are still rising, for closure rates are declining and people are still buying homes. But in other areas home prices are coming down so fast, so quickly that it is causing people to be underwater, meaning that their home values is less than the mortgage that they owe. So there is a large market variation and overall the US housing market right now is struggling.”In the sluggish market, John Jameson only wants a home where he and his daughter can enjoy a more comfortable life. John anxiously looks forward to the mortgage approval, and of course, the day they will move into the new home. Task Three: Aging PopulationChina’s aging population is growing rapidly. The latest projection is that in 2050 one out of three Chinese will be over 60 years old! This issue, not surprisingly, has generated heated debate in the annual session of the top advisory body, the CPPCC. Wang Guan takes a close look.China is likely to grow old before it grows rich. That’s the concern of some CPPCC members att ending the body’s annual sessions in Beijing.According to the latest figures, China currently has 20 million people over 80 years of age. That number will quadruple in 40 years. And by 2050, 400 million Chinese will be above 60 years old which means one in every four Chinese will belong to that category.The United Nations maintains that a country with more than ten percent of its population over 60 is an aging society.However, targeted services lag far behind.In most Chinese cities, senior citizens’ hom es are few and far between. The existing ones can’t provide senior residents with sufficient activities. That’s why for most Chinese, when they grow old, they stay with their children or spouses.(Yang Chao, CPPCC member)“Senior citizens’ homes should inc lude recreational centers, hospitals and senior citizens’ universities...where they can draw, read books, play ball -games, swim and form discussion groups. It should be a place to empower the senior citizens once again.”Some CPPCC members suggest that more of the national budget should go towards serving China’s aging population, namely by building more infrastructure and improve service in senior citizens’ homes. They say the government should encourage insurance companies to be more involved in providing services for senior4 citizens. (Yang Chao)“Commercial organizations should play a bigger role. The government should also have some favorable policies such as tax reduction for senior citizens.” CPPCC members say for those senior citizens who prefer to stay in their own homes, relevant services should be expanded. Besides regular food delivery and medical services, psychological counseling, for example, should also be provided.High Rise Apartments Vulnerable to FireThis catastrophe is being blamed on careless actions by welders. While the investigation continues, the blaze has set off alarm bells over fire safety in tower blocks, which are considered vulnerable in such circumstances.Zhang Mimi brings us more.Monday afternoon’s inten se blaze in this downtown apartment building has left a blackened and painful scar on a once peaceful neighborhood.Vehicles are not allowed within one block of the gutted ( 羊肠小道，内脏) building, but Shanghai residents from near and far continue to visit the scene, mourning the deceased and sharing opinions of the fire.(A Shanghai resident said)“My colleague was inside the building alone when the fire broke out..(A Shanghai resident)“Everyone should be prepared and be aware of the fire safety measures.” It’s believed that unlicensed welders ignited flammable nylon netting and bamboo on the scaffolding ( 脚手架). At least 53 people died and the intensity of the blaze has laid bare the risks and dangers of high rise living. The towering buildings can produce a stack effect, which quickly spreads the smoke to a height where even the tallest ladder can not reach.Professor Chen Baosheng, an expert in disaster prevention, says once a fire breaks out, the fire doors, smoke detectors and automatic sprinklers ( 洒水装置) should mitigate ( 减轻) the disastrous effects.(Prof. Chen Baosheng, Dept. of architecture of Tongji University)“Just like this stadium. Each building should be divided into different zones for preventing fires. Smoke detectors and sprinklers should be installed every 3.6 meters and fire doors should remain closed at all times.”Shanghai is home to the wo rld’s largest number of high rises. There are currently over 14-thousand buildings that are over eight stories in height. Five-hundred are over one hundred meters. While some believe the web of tower blocks display the city’s wealth, and the country’s fast urbanization, others worry these buildings fall short of adequate fire safety measures and enforcement.Experts have yet to find out whether this particular building had properly installed fire safety equipment. Professor Chen warns that proper regulation is5 urgently needed. (Professor Chen Baosheng)“Fire prevention technologies in high -rises are up-to-date. But I think we should step up efforts in terms of regulations and maintenance. Fire doors and exits should not be blocked and in the case of this bui lding, the welding should be supervised.”The massive blaze has many Shanghai residents checking out the fire prevention equipment in their own building. Many say they need to learn more about what to do during an emergency.High-rise fire fighting poses a global challenge. Fanned by strong wind, a blaze could engulf a thirty story building in half a minute, leaving residents little chances of survival. The tragedy at this complex calls for serious attention from the government to tighten enforcement of safety measures and to stop such deadly disaster from being a common occurrence.练习答案Unit Six City DiseaseTask One:1.

City Disease1Task One: Traffic Congestion and Soaring Housing PricesIn this part the program is turned on to the 12th Five-Year-Plan that beginsin 2011. And one focus of that is to tackle challenges during China’s urbanization.When cities become larger, how can they also become more livable? Our reporter Wang Guan joined us here in the studio. He did a bit of research on a problem perhaps few of us can escape today, which is called traffic congestion. So Wang Guan, looks like traffic in big cities is getting worse and seriously compromising our quality of life!Oh! Yes, James. Few would argue that China, as an emerging economy, needs to sell cars. In fact, it sold more cars than any other country since 2009. This is also the problem. Take Beijing for example, the city where we are living. The city already has more than 4 million vehicles. And in the first half of this year, nearly two-thousand a day were added to the street. If this trend continues, in 4 years time, the capital will have 7 million cars.To put the figure into perspective, the maximum capacity for the city’s urban area is 200-thousand vehicles. In other words, should Beijing’s first, second and third ring roads become congested, they can only accommodate less than a quarter of a million vehicles, let alone seven million.And it’s amazing also to find out how OFTEN Beijingers use their vehicles. For example, recently I have did a little bit of research that according to the Beijing Traffic Research Center, the annual mileage of Beijing residen ts’ cars is 15 thousand kilometers, twice the number of Tokyo and 1.5 times than the residents in London. And 40 percent of the times, Beijingers use their cars for trips less than 5 kilometers, which is considered not necessary for taking rides with cars.Let’s look at Beijing and the other big cities, including many many big cities in China. But what about China’s smaller cities, especially its many many towns?We learned soaring housing prices is a major issue in Chinese second-tier cities. For example, in the first quarter, home prices increased more than 10 percent in cities such as Haikou, Kunming and Shenzhen, as are shown. You can see right now as shown in yellow. And also in cities including Nanjing, Shantou and Tangshan, the figure reached nearly 20 percent.The rising real estate price is believed to be associated with a controversial land-bidding system. Now developers who offer the highest price, and possibly withthe strongest connections with key local officials, get the land, regardless of their2 professional track record or credentials.A report submitted by the NPC standing committee says in 2009, less than 30 percent of the central governments budget for affordable housing was duly spent by local officials.So the lack of supervision and transparency we see here are believed to be a cause, which also gives rise to irregular dealings and corruption in other spheres of the society. That includes illegal land-grabbing, cronyism in the workplace, and academic misconduct. All these prevented these second-tier and third-tier Chinese cities from becoming fairer.Task Two: Difficulties in Buying a HouseSpecial Report: Global Financial CrisisAs the US economy goes into recession Americans are finding it’s difficult to buy a house. Real estate agents are having a tough time. Zeng Siwei takes a look at the current US housing market.John Jameson is the president of a consulting firm in Washington. He can earn more than 700-thousand US dollars a year. Thirteen years ago, John bought a villa in Washington for 250-thousand dollars. But he moved out after he and his wife divorced. Since then, he has been living with his daughter in a rented apartment. John now wants a change. This villa costs nearly 2.5 million dollars. It’s merely three blocks away from his office.(John Jameson, Home Buyer)All makes it the best of Washington. And it’s got a lot of space. It’s got back yard, front yard, windows on the side, and a lot of bedrooms and a big basement and a nice family area. John decides to buy the villa and apply for a mortgage from the bank.(John Jameson, Home Buyer)“I have a good income from my business. I have a lot of savings and a perfect credit record. So I thought they’re gonna say, ‘No problem, we’ll give you a loan immediately.’ That’s what I thought.”But it turns out to be opposite.(John Jameson, Home Buyer)“It was what they told me. One, I’m gonna have to go to see very senior management in the bank. And two, the loan is gonna require a much much larger down payment than just six months ago.”A higher down payment is not a big deal for John. But he has to wait longer for the mortgage approval. And that’s what really makes him anxious. The banks have their own explanation for raising the threshold. According to statistics from the National Association of Realtors, ten percent of US home buyers with mortgages are behind on their payments for more than a month, or face foreclosures during the third quarter. The stricter evaluation procedures and higher down payment are preventing many low-income Americans from buying houses. This is creating tough times for real estate agents.3 (Wang Jianyu, Real Estate Agent)“It used to take one or two months to sell a house. Now it normally needs three to four months, or even more.”Real estate developers face the same woes.In 2008, nearly five million homes have been sold in the US, over 12 percent down from last year. And the sales volume for new homes is 486 thousand, over 37 percent less from 2007.(Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist, National Association Realtors)“I n some places home prices are still rising, for closure rates are declining and people are still buying homes. But in other areas home prices are coming down so fast, so quickly that it is causing people to be underwater, meaning that their home values is less than the mortgage that they owe. So there is a large market variation and overall the US housing market right now is struggling.”In the sluggish market, John Jameson only wants a home where he and his daughter can enjoy a more comfortable life. John anxiously looks forward to the mortgage approval, and of course, the day they will move into the new home. Task Three: Aging PopulationChina’s aging population is growing rapidly. The latest projection is that in 2050 one out of three Chinese will be over 60 years old! This issue, not surprisingly, has generated heated debate in the annual session of the top advisory body, the CPPCC. Wang Guan takes a close look.China is likely to grow old before it grows rich. That’s the concern of some CPPCC members att ending the body’s annual sessions in Beijing.According to the latest figures, China currently has 20 million people over 80 years of age. That number will quadruple in 40 years. And by 2050, 400 million Chinese will be above 60 years old which means one in every four Chinese will belong to that category.The United Nations maintains that a country with more than ten percent of its population over 60 is an aging society.However, targeted services lag far behind.In most Chinese cities, senior citizens’ hom es are few and far between. The existing ones can’t provide senior residents with sufficient activities. That’s why for most Chinese, when they grow old, they stay with their children or spouses.(Yang Chao, CPPCC member)“Senior citizens’ homes should inc lude recreational centers, hospitals and senior citizens’ universities...where they can draw, read books, play ball -games, swim and form discussion groups. It should be a place to empower the senior citizens once again.”Some CPPCC members suggest that more of the national budget should go towards serving China’s aging population, namely by building more infrastructure and improve service in senior citizens’ homes. They say the government should encourage insurance companies to be more involved in providing services for senior4 citizens. (Yang Chao)“Commercial organizations should play a bigger role. The government should also have some favorable policies such as tax reduction for senior citizens.” CPPCC members say for those senior citizens who prefer to stay in their own homes, relevant services should be expanded. Besides regular food delivery and medical services, psychological counseling, for example, should also be provided.High Rise Apartments Vulnerable to FireThis catastrophe is being blamed on careless actions by welders. While the investigation continues, the blaze has set off alarm bells over fire safety in tower blocks, which are considered vulnerable in such circumstances.Zhang Mimi brings us more.Monday afternoon’s inten se blaze in this downtown apartment building has left a blackened and painful scar on a once peaceful neighborhood.Vehicles are not allowed within one block of the gutted ( 羊肠小道，内脏) building, but Shanghai residents from near and far continue to visit the scene, mourning the deceased and sharing opinions of the fire.(A Shanghai resident said)“My colleague was inside the building alone when the fire broke out..(A Shanghai resident)“Everyone should be prepared and be aware of the fire safety measures.” It’s believed that unlicensed welders ignited flammable nylon netting and bamboo on the scaffolding ( 脚手架). At least 53 people died and the intensity of the blaze has laid bare the risks and dangers of high rise living. The towering buildings can produce a stack effect, which quickly spreads the smoke to a height where even the tallest ladder can not reach.Professor Chen Baosheng, an expert in disaster prevention, says once a fire breaks out, the fire doors, smoke detectors and automatic sprinklers ( 洒水装置) should mitigate ( 减轻) the disastrous effects.(Prof. Chen Baosheng, Dept. of architecture of Tongji University)“Just like this stadium. Each building should be divided into different zones for preventing fires. Smoke detectors and sprinklers should be installed every 3.6 meters and fire doors should remain closed at all times.”Shanghai is home to the wo rld’s largest number of high rises. There are currently over 14-thousand buildings that are over eight stories in height. Five-hundred are over one hundred meters. While some believe the web of tower blocks display the city’s wealth, and the country’s fast urbanization, others worry these buildings fall short of adequate fire safety measures and enforcement.Experts have yet to find out whether this particular building had properly installed fire safety equipment. Professor Chen warns that proper regulation is5 urgently needed. (Professor Chen Baosheng)“Fire prevention technologies in high -rises are up-to-date. But I think we should step up efforts in terms of regulations and maintenance. Fire doors and exits should not be blocked and in the case of this bui lding, the welding should be supervised.”The massive blaze has many Shanghai residents checking out the fire prevention equipment in their own building. Many say they need to learn more about what to do during an emergency.High-rise fire fighting poses a global challenge. Fanned by strong wind, a blaze could engulf a thirty story building in half a minute, leaving residents little chances of survival. The tragedy at this complex calls for serious attention from the government to tighten enforcement of safety measures and to stop such deadly disaster from being a common occurrence.练习答案Unit Six City DiseaseTask One:1.

A mutual fund is a group of stocks and bonds that is S2 owned by a group of people. A financial company is in charge of the mutual fund, which is S3 managed by one or more portfolio managers. The people who S4 invest . in mutual funds are also known as shareholders because a unit of S5 ownership in a mutual fund is called a share. A mutual fund uses the cash invested by its S6 shareholders to purchase stocks, or in some case, bonds. The fund's shareholders are indirect S7 investors in that portfolio of stocks or bonds. Since a mutual fund may contain the stocks of many companies in its portfolio, S8 . shareholders are often able to own a greater and more diverse number of stocks than if they invested directly in the stock marketMost mutual funds are open-end funds. This means that at the end of every day, S9 the investment management company sponsoring the fund issues new shares to investors and buys back shares from investors wishing to leave the fund . A mutual fund can also be a closed-end fund. The sponsor of a closed-end fund registers and issues a fixed number of shares at the initial offering, similar to a common stock. Investors then can buy or sell these shares through a stock exchange.

In 1994, 27.5% of teens used cigarettes, smokeless tobacco or cigars. In 2004, 36.4% did .Teens have their own issues their own pressures. What works for adult smokers may not work for adolescents.To survey the teens, the questions must be carefully phrased because "teens get turned off if you ask them a lot of direct questions ,"says April Roeseler, a health educator and chief of local programs for the Tobacco Control Section of the California Department of Health Services, which runs the California Smokers’ Helpline. With teenagers, counselors aim to be more conversational.The first phone call generally takes about 45 minutes, with discussion about why the teen began smoking and the extent of the habit. In the next few weeks, the counselor sets up additional telephone appointments, with up to a total of eight sessions.Now 260 teens who have participated in the program are being followed, says Lester Brown, assistant professor of family and preventive medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and the principal investigator for the project. Researchers want to see whether the teens who quit remain nonsmokers."Things are looking promising," he says, but he could offer no success-rate figures. Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Every day, the average person breathes in about 20,000 liters of air. Every time we breathe, we risk inhaling dangerous chemicals that have found their way into the air.Air pollution includes all pollutants found in the atmosphere These dangerous substances can be either in the form of gases or particles .Air pollution can be found both outdoors and indoors. Pollutants can be trapped inside buildings, causing indoor pollution that lasts for a long time.The sources of air pollution are both natural and human-based. As one might expect, humans have been producing increasing amounts of pollution as time has progressed, and they now account for the majority of pollutants released into the air. Air pollution has been a problem throughout history Even in Ancient Rome people complained about smoke put into the atmosphere .The effects of air pollution are diverse and numerous.Air pollution can have serious consequences for the health of human beings , and severely affects the natural ecosystem.Because it is located in the atmosphere, air pollution is able to travel easily. As a result, air pollution is a global problem and has been the subject of global cooperation and conflict.Some areas now suffer more than others from air pollution.Cities with large numbers of automobiles or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from air pollution problems. .Part 1 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.In such a mature industry with many low-fare competitors and tiny profits from operations, it is essential that airline managers identify controllable costs.In order to establish and maintain air services, airlines have a high level of fixed and operating costs: labor, fuel , airplanes, engines, spares and parts, IT services and networks , airport equipment, airport handling services, sales distribution, training, insurance , and other costs. Thus all but a few cents on the dollar in ticket sales is paid out to a wide variety of external providers or internal cost centers. Moreover, the industry is structured so that airlines often act as tax collectors. Ticket prices include a number of fees, taxes , and surcharges they have little or no control over , and these are passed through to various providers. Airlines are also responsible for carrying out government regulations.If airlines carry passengers without proper documents on an international flight, they are responsible for carrying them back to the originating country .Analysis of the last five years shows that all the other player s in the air transport chain are far more profitable than the airlines, who collect and pass through fees and revenues to them from ticket sales.While airlines as a whole earned 6% return on capital employed, airports earned 10% , catering companies 10-13% , handling companies 11-14%, aircraft lessors 5%, aircraft manufacturers 16%, and global distribution companies more than 30%.Part 2 Compound dictationQuestions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Many Americans buy an evergreen tree for Christmas. They put the tree in their home and hang small lights and colorful objects on it. The evergreen is usually a pine or a fir tree. It remains green during the cold, dark months of winter in the northern part of the world. So it is a symbol of everlasting life.The Christmas tree may have developed in part from a popular play performed. hundreds of years ago in what is now Germany. Traditionally, the play was held on December twenty-fourth, the day before Christmas. The play was about the first people that God created--Adam and Eve. People put apples on an evergreen tree to represent the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden.By the year 1600, some Germans began bringing evergreen trees into their homes. They put fruit, nuts and sweets on the trees They shared the food among family members and friends after the holiday season.Some people say the German religious reformer Martin Luther was the first person to add lighted candles to a tree. They say he did this to show how wonderful the stars had appeared to him as he traveled one night .In the early 1800s, German settlers in the state of Pennsylvania were the first to celebrate the holiday with Christmas trees in the United States.The Christmas tree tradition spread to many parts of the world. Today, some form of Christmas tree is part of most Christmas celebrations. Some people put a star on top of their Christmas tree. It represents the star that led the three wise men to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem.。

They deign trends and create new styles. Paris has been the traditional center of world fashion, though recently British designers have had great influence in setting new styles, and so have certain designers in the United States and Italy. French designers guard the secrets of their new designs until their collections are shown to the public. Then pictures of the styles are published in newspapers and magazines all over the world. People from many countries travel to Paris to buy the clothes and copy the newest ideas. In January they go to see the spring clothes; and in July, to see the autumn designs. Many dress manufacturers from other countries buy the original clothes of the famous French designers. They then take them back to their own sewing rooms, where the clothes are copied and made up in great numbers. That‟s why you may be able to buy in your town the clothing that is in the latest style without paying a very high price for it. Other manufacturers use the Paris styles simply as a starting point for their own ideas. Still others may adapt only a part of the French design into their own styles.1.

How about the blue one?B: No, I don‟t like the color. Thanks.V. Let‟s TalkThe MiniskirtMary Quant was a famous dress designer in the 1960s. Her main contribution to fashion history was the miniskirt. During the 1960s many young people were starting to think women could do more in life than be wives and mothers. Clothes became a weapon in the battle between generations. Anything different and daring was soon popular. During this period miniskirts attracted the world‟s attention. It was teenagers and very young girls who bought short shirts that displayed their legs. Ms. Quant said that at her fashion shop, young women began demanding shorter and shorter skirts. “If I didn‟t make them short enough, the girls that had wonderful legs would take scissors and shorten the skirts themselves.”S he said. Eventually, Ms. Quant‟s skirts, which arrived in the United States in the mid-60‟s, were reduced to about five inches. In parts of Europe and North America the miniskirt represented loose morals. Members of the older generation believed good girls would never appear in miniskirts. But in Ms. Quant‟s opinion, short skirts worn with heavy pantyhose would make the girl look childlike. Lately, feminists have come to see mini as a symbol of women‟s liberation, as a powerful weapon against the traditional stereotype of the woman simply as wife and mother.1.D2.D3.A4.C5.BVI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Paying for the New ClothesDaughter: Mom, I need some new clothes. Everything I have is out of date. The new semester will be starting soon—can we go shopping?Mother: You have a closet full of clothes that are still in very good condition.Your father and I already have to pay you university tuition…and there‟rethe books too.Daughter:But everyone else will be wearing the latest Levis. And I will look stupid wearing the same old skirts I wore in high school. T hey are so long. Peoplewill think I came form the middle ages.Mother: But…Daughter: Maybe I could get a part-time job to help pay for the new clothes. Mother:No, you need to study. But university is a new experience…maybe we can look for something not too expensive.Daughter: Wonderful, at least we can have a look.The daughter wants to buy new clothes, but the mother disagrees, saying she still has a lot of clothes in good condition and the parents have to pay for the university tuition. The daughter argues that she needs clothes in fashion, so as not to look as if she had come form the middle ages. The daughter then suggests getting a part-time job to cover the expenses. Not wanting to affect the daughter‟s studies, the mother finally agrees to buy new clothes.Task 2: A Model‟s Description of Her WorkBefore the fashion show started, we had a rehearsal. In a small room we were each given a space. A dresser got us into the fashion clothes, then an assistant checked that the style was right—the correct number of buttons undone, the trousers pulled to the right height. Once dressed, we queued up in order by the door. The fashion designer checked that the clothing was as the he wanted. The music started, and we went out. We posed for the photographers, turned and walked back. It was a breeze.I walked back into the room, too excited to realize I was meant to hurry. In the few steps from the door you can throw off quite a few layers of clothing. By failing to do so, I almost missed my next turn.At 8:30p.m., with the audience in place, we were back in the clothes. We went out again, to a full house. The music was loud, but clear. You could hear the talking—fashion shows are not theatre, and people don‟t keep quiet. Journalists discuss what to write about; buyers discuss whether they can make a profit from the clothes. And although you have been chosen for your looks that are suitable for certain dresses, as a model, you are just an advertisement for the designer. So you walk through conversations, unable to stop or react. You are not a creative human being, just a smiling doll.1.T2.F3.T4.F5.FTask 3: Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka-dot Bikini She was afraid to come out of the lockerShe was as nervous as she could beShe was afraid to come out of the lockerShe was afraid that somebody would seeOne, two, three, four, tell people what she woreIt was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniThat she wore for the first time today.An itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikiniSo in the locker she wanted to stay.Two, three, four, stick around we‟ll tell you moreShe was afraid to come out in the openAnd so a b lank et around her she woreShe was afraid to come out in the openAnd so she sat bundled up on the shoreTwo, three, four, tell the people what she wore…SpeakingBuying an Expensive DressNancy: Your new low-cut dress is wonderful.Jill: Thank you, Nancy.

When he was done, he stood up and walked toward the door. The barman shouted after him, “Hey mister, are you going to pay for those drinks?”Tom turned around and replied, “I have already paid you,” and then walked out of the bar. Almost immediately he saw one of his friends Richard and told him about the barman, “Just go in there and drink all you want, then get up and leave. When the barman asks you to pay the bill, just tell him you have already paid.”This sounded easy enough, so Richard went in and has several drinks. The barman went to him and said, “Before you came in, another man was here. When I asked him to pay his bill, he told me he‟d paid, but I don‟t remember him paying me.”Richard said, “I would love to stay and hear your story, but I don‟t have time. CanI havemy change please?”1. A2.B3.D4.C5.CTask 3: Why not just print money?What‟s the solution to a recession, a time of little economic activity? Just print money! Sounds reasonable, doesn‟t it? Let‟s see if this will work by using an example. Let‟s pretend that all the students in your class make up the ENTER population of the country, and the teacher represents the government. Let‟s also pretend each student has exactly $1.00.Since we are in a recession, let‟s have the teacher, who represents the government, print money. He prints $1.00 more for everyone. Now everyone has $1.00 more to spend. More money to spend sounds like a great way to get us out of recession, since more money to spend means demand for goods and services.Then if that works, why don‟t we give MORE money away? How about $100? Now we have lots of money to spend. So no more recession, right?Not really, because we have only looked at one side of the problem. As more and more people receive more and more money, what‟ll happen?Since everyone has more money, the students all go shopping to spend that extra money. This causes the demand for goods and services to rise, and people who sell goods and services raise price. For example, if you could buy a new music CD at $10 in the past, now the price could be $1,000! This is called inflation.So, the original reason for printing all this money was to help get us of recession, but we have only replaced one problem with another.1.T2.T3.F4.F5.FIV. Speaking OutModel 1 I want to blow it all.John: Hey, Se-Jin, do you want to come shopping with me? My dad just gave me my monthly allowance and I want to blow it all.Se-Jin:That sounds just like you, John! What do you want to buy?John: I don‟t know…Some music CDs, maybe.Se-Jin: If you spend all that money on things you don‟t even know if you want, you won‟t have any money left when you need it.John: But if I just save my money, that doesn‟t s sound like much fun either. Besides,I need some new CDs.Se-Jin: You also need a financial advisor!Now Your TurnA: Hey, do you want to come shopping with me? I just got some money from my part-time job, and I want to get rid of it right away.B: That‟s your style. What do you want to buy?A: I don‟t know…some fashionable clothes, maybe.B: If you waste all your money on things you don‟t even know if you want, you‟ll be out of money completely when you need it.A: But if I just hold on to my money…that doesn‟t make much sense either. I really need some new clothes. What‟s the point of saving lots of money without fun? B: As I see it, you need a person to look after your money.Model 2 Can money buy everything?Peter: I‟m trying to think of ways to become rich. If I could get my hands on a lot of money, I‟ll be really happy.Jane: Do you really think so? I‟m not so sure.Peter: Of course, why wouldn‟t I? I‟d be able to have anything I want.Jane: Well, there are plenty of people who have a lot of money but aren‟t happy. What do you say to that?Peter: But if I became a millionaire, I‟d buy whatever I wanted.Jane: Can you buy true love? Can you buy the moon?Peter: Maybe not, but I can buy a house with a lot of modern conveniences. Jane: So many people think like you do, buy look at all the divorces, suicides and murders among wealthy people. How do you explain that?Peter: Maybe there‟s something in what you said.Now Your TurnA: I really hope I can make a fortune. If I had a lot of money, I‟d be as happy as a king.B: Do you really believe so? I have my doubts about it.A: Of course, why wouldn‟t I? If I were a millionaire, there‟s nothing I couldn‟t buy.B: Well, can you but health? Can you but true friendship?B: Maybe not. But I can but a big house and car, and make my life more comfortable. A: Maybe you have a point there. Money can bring material comforts. But don‟t forget, there are also divorces and suicides among wealthy people.B: Well, there is some truth in what you said. Money cannot but real happiness.

I wonder if you could give me a loan.Se-Jin: Dream on! I‟m hard up myself.John: You see, I want to buy some new stereo equipment, and I‟m just about a hundred short.Se-Jin: Why not save up for it?John: The stores have all stuff on a huge sales promotion right now. I could save at least 30 percent!S-Jin: John, I‟d lend you money if you were in a jam. But a new stereo isn‟t an emergency.John: Then I‟m afraid I have to find someone who is more easy-going.Now Your TurnA: Hi, I was trying to catch up with you.B: What happened?A: Money had burned a hole in my pocket. You usually have some savings. I wonder if you can lend me some money?B: You‟re daydreaming. I‟m short of money myself.A: Look, I want to buy a digital camera, and I‟m only short of 150 bucks.B: Why not save towards it?A: The camera is on sale right now. This can save me almost 25 percent.B:Well, I‟d lend you the money if you were in real redouble.But a new camera isn‟t urgent. A: Then I‟m afraid I‟ll have to try someone who‟s more generous.V. Let‟s TalkStory of a MiserThere was a miser who loved money more than anything else. Just before he died, he said to his wife, “Now, listen. When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the caske t with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me.”He made her promise with all her heart that when he dies, she would pit all the money in the casket with him. Then he died. He was laid in the casket, his wife was sitting there wearing black, and her friend was sitting next to her.When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got already to close the casket, the wife said, “Wait a minute!” She had a box with her. She came over with the box and put it in the casket.Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. He friend said, “Girl, I know you weren‟t fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband!”She said, “Listen, I‟m a Christian. I can‟t go back on my word. I promise him that I would put all the money in the casket with him.”“You mean you really put that money in the casket with him!?”“I surely did,” said the wife. “I wrote him a check.”1. more than2. money casket3. promise4. in the casket5. sitting black6. next to/beside7. close8. a box9. away/off10. foolish all that money/the money11. a Christian on her word12. put the money13. a checkVI.

Many American don‟t like to carry much cash. For them the cards are convenient and safe to use. Credit cards are gaining popularity, even for buying small items. They are accepted almost everywhere, though not at fast food restaurants.Credit cards allow you to purchase things that you may not currently have the money to buy. When you use a credit card, the credit card company that issued the credit card pays the store. Later, a bill will be mailed to you by your credit card company for the amount you purchased. At that time, you can either pay the bill in full, or only pay a minimum amount, and wait till later to finish paying. If you wait till later, you will owe the credit card company interest on the amount that you do not pay.1.D2.C3.B4.C5.ASpeakingCan you change a twenty-dollar bill?Cashier: How can I help you, Miss?Jill: Could you change a 20 for me?Cashier: Sure.

Listening SkillsTo keep our children safe from those dangerous criminals, these tips might be helpful. First, children should be encouraged always to ask permission fromheir caregiver before they go anywhere .They should not only tell the care giver where they will be at all times, but also who will be looking after them. also, children should never walk or ride their bikes alone. Instead, they should travn groups whenever possible. more importantly, children should be taught to stay away from strangers, though they may offer to show them a puppy or give them candy.children should be taught to say “no” and run, scream, or fight if necessary. moreover,children should be told that no problem is too big or too sm to ask grown-ups. in fact,it is never too late to ask for help ,and to keep asking until ty get the help they need. last but not least,we should realize that many child-attack cases involve a family member or family friend, for example, a stepfather, sister‟s boyfriend, babysitter, neighbor, and so on.III.

Unit 6Outside ViewHost: Three American cyclists who only have three real legs between them are cycling through Oxford on a trek from Scotland to Greece. The trio sponsored by Otto Bock USA all have prosthetic limbs and are hoping the challenge will raise awareness of the diversity of designs available. Six TV caught up with Mick Wright, Sedan Sherret and Brad Kennedy earlier on today. Cyclist: Yeah it's a little tough, I don’t like cycling. But you know, if we can, you know help somebody, motivate somebody to get back to an active lifestyle and put their mind to something good, it’s all worth it.Reporter: And so what's really the point of this trip?Cyclist: To raise awareness of the abilities of those with disabilities. If you’ve lost a limb doesn't mean you sit on a couch. You can still be active; you can lead a healthy lifestyle. And you can do challenges that you may have always wanted to do when you were fully healthy and with two legs. Reporter: And the trip is 2500 miles from Glasgow to Athens. How are you guys coping? Cycling: Oh, I think we're doing really well. We’re still in the, this is the first week of riding. We’re conditioning, we're getting used to the--，we've had spectacular weather, it’s been, I mean ,we got sunburnt in Scotland. It’s, we’re, we’re getting accustomed to life on the road and every day our pace is increasing and we're getting stronger. So I think it’s, it’s marvelous. Reporter: And will you, when you get to Athens, what’s your plan there?Cyclist: Hopefully take a little time to rest, relax vacation a little bit, and maybe throw the bike in the ocean, just the good things in life.Reporter: And what's been the worst, most difficult thing you've come acrossed so far?Cyclist: We've had some very challenging weather and some challenging hills. ButWe’ve actually enjoyed all of it.It’s been difficult but I think all of the Riding has been good. Reporter: And how are the legs holding up?Cyclist: Oh great! Now we always say that our prosthetic limbs are the ones that are doing f abulous. It’s, it’s the, it’s the, as we refer to, the meat leg that, that might, might be a little weaker. But everybody's riding really strongly and they're just, just performing marvelously.主持人：三名只有三条腿的自行车爱好者正在进行一个从苏格兰到希腊的艰苦骑行。
