大学英语四六级听力备考技巧

大学英语四六级听力备考技巧对于很多的大学生，当然不仅仅在大学生这个群体，在中国任何一个群起，英语能力上，都是听、说能力弱于读写。

所以，其实四六级真正的难处就在于听力这部分。

这次小编给大家整理了大学英语四六级听力备考技巧，供大家阅读参考。

大学英语四六级听力备考技巧一、挑选合适的听力训练材料是前提现在有很多的六级英语听力资料，水平也是参差不齐，想提升听力水平，必须得选择科学适合的听力材料。

最好的方式就是找最近的四六级听力真题来进行训练，在练习的时候，严格按照考试的标准来，做完之后进行总结，包括自己错误的原因、听力中涉及到的陌生词汇和陌生表达、出题规律等等。

二、保持好听力训练的常态英语是一门语言，而语言学习的关键，就在于常态化的训练。

如果想提升大学英语四六级听力的竞争力，那么考生一定好学会每天花定量的时间来进行听力训练，比如每天坚持练习1个小时的听力。

正式考试中听力限时30分钟，考生每天就可以拿半个小时的时间来进行听力模拟训练，然后再用另外30分钟来进行反思与总结，自查自纠。

反思的具体步骤比如自己为什么会做错，是因为单词的原因还是短语理解存在问题，或者是因为语法知识点难倒了自己等等，然后进行相应的补救措施，像单词存在着问题的话，就可以进行查字典——看单词各种解释义项——看例句——看同义词——做好单词笔记等等这样的步骤。

如果是语法上存在着问题的话，就要找到相应的语法知识点，然后进行相应的集中训练。

三、练习大学英语四六级听力的具体技巧在挑选到合适的材料以及确定好了听力训练常态后，我们可以进一步来看看在听力训练中有哪些可以运用的具体技巧。

1、短对话大学英语四六级听力短对话只播放一遍，如果在这一遍就能够抓到足够多的信息并筛选出正确的答案呢?准确率最高的一种方式就是先大致浏览下答案选项，然后在听的过程中注重对于短对话的整体理解，千万不要听到什么选什么，因为这有可能就是陷阱，有可能被偷换了主语或者概念。

一般来说，在听力短对话这部分，答案基本上都是需要进行同义替换的。

The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. Last July, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside thevehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.1. What is the news report mainly about？2.

It’s been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token £1 failed.The company has huge debts. Th e immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain’s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years.Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.Many of the store group’s 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report？4.

In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.The idea has proved popular with customers ― they can n ow travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. Banks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars,although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white toa plain white colour.5.

A7. C六级听力样题Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.Moderator （会议主持人）:Hello Ladies and Gentleman, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker for today’s session, Dr. Howard Miller. Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington University, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller: Dr. Miller:Thank you for that introduction. Today, I’d like to preface my remarks with a story from my own life which I feel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting back the tears, he spoke proudly of the fact that he had built their home from the ground up, and that he had pounded every nail and laid every brick in the process. The prospect of having to sell their home and give up their independence, and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. It was, in my grandfather’s own words, like having a limb cut off. He exclaimed in a forceful manner that he felt he wasn’t impo rtant anymore. For them and some older Americans, their so-called “golden years” are at times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of not only one’s health but the loss of identity and self-worth. In many societies, this self-identity is closely related with our social status, occupation, material possessions, or independence. Furthermore, we often live in societies that value what is “new” or in fashion, and our own usage of words in the English language is often a sign of bad news for older Americans. I mean how would your family react if you came home tonight exclaiming, “Hey, come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!” Unfortunately, the word “old” calls to mind images of the need to replace or discard.Now, many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform, medical care, and the development of public facilities for senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, I’d like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies.First of all, I’d like to talk about . . .16. What does the introduction say about Dr. Howard Miller’s articles and books？17. What is the greatest fear of Dr. Miller’s grandfather？18. What does Dr. Miller say the “golden years” can often me an？19. What is the focus of Dr. Miller’s speechNow listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.16. A) They investigate the retirement homes in America.B) They are on issues facing senior citizens in America.C) They describe the great pleasures of the golden years.D) They are filled with fond memories of his grandparents.17. A) The loss of the ability to take care of himself.B) The feeling of not being important any more.C) Being unable to find a good retirement home.D) Leaving the home he had lived in for 60 years.18. A) The loss of identity and self-worth.B) Fear of being replaced or discarded.C) Freedom from pressure and worldly cares.D) The possession of wealth and high respect.19. A) The urgency of pension reform.B) Medical care for senior citizens.C) Finding meaningful roles for the elderly in society.D) The development of public facilities for senior citizens.Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.20. A) It seriously impacts their physical and mental development.B) It has become a problem affecting global economic growth.C) It is a common problem found in underdeveloped countries.D) It is an issue often overlooked by parents in many countries.21. A) They will live longer. C) Theyget along well with people.B) They get better pay. D) Theydevelop much higher IQs.22. A) Appropriated funds to promote research of nutrient-rich foods.B) Encouraged breastfeeding for the first six months of a child’s life.C) Recruited volunteers to teach rural people about health and nutrition.D) Targeted hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children.Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.The 2010 Global Hunger Index report was released today by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). It notes that, in recent years, experts have come to the conclusion that undernourishment between conception and a child’s second birthday can have serious and long-lasting impacts.Undernourishment during this approximately 1,000-day window can seriously check the growth and development of children and render them more likely to get sick and die than well-fed children. Preventing hunger allows children to develop both physically and mentally.Says IFPRI’s Marie Ruel, “They will be more likely to perform well in school. They will stay in school longer. And then at adulthood, IFPRI has actually demonstrated that children who were better nourished have higher wages, by a pretty large margin,by 46 percent.”Ruel says that means the productivity of a nation’s future generations depends in a large part on the first 1,000 days of life.“This is why we’re all on board in focusing on those thousand days to improve nutritio n. After that, the damage is done and is highly irreversible.”The data on nutrition and childhood development has been slowly coming together for decades. But Ruel says scientific consensus alone will not solve the problem. “It’s not enough that nutritionists know you have to intervene then, if we don’t have the politicians on board, and also the...people that implement [programs] in the field.”Ruel says there are encouraging signs that politicians and implementers are beginning to get on board. Many major donors and the United Nations are targeting hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children. They focus on improving diets or providing micro-food supplements. They improve access to pre-birth care and encourage exclusive breastfeeding for t he first six months of a child’s life. Ruel says in the 1980s Thailand was able to reduce child undernourishment by recruiting a large number of volunteers to travel the countryside teaching about health and nutrition.“They really did very active promoti on of diversity in the diet and good eating habits. So they were providing more food to people, but also educating people on how to use them, and also educating people on how to feed their young children.”Ruel says countries may take different approaches to reducing child undernutrition. But she says nations will not make progress fighting hunger and poverty until they begin to focus on those critical first thousand days.20. What is the experts’ conclusion regarding children’s undernourishment in their earliest days of life21. What does IFPRI’s Marie Ruel say about well-fed children in their adult life？22. What did Thailand do to reduce child undernourishment in the 1980sNow listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.I’d like to look at a vital aspect of e-commerce, and that is the nature of the product or service. There are certain products and services that are very suitable for selling online, and others that simply don’t work.Suitable products generally have a high value-to-weight ratio. Items such as CDs and DVDs are obvious examples. Books, although heavier and so more expensive to post, still have a high enough value-to-weight ratio, as the success of Amazon, which started off selling only books, shows. Laptop computers are another good product for selling online.Digital products, such as software, films and music, can be sold in a purely virtual environment. The goods are paid for by online transactions, and then downloaded onto the buyer’s computer. There are no postage or delivery costs, so prices can be kept low.Many successful virtual companies provide digital services, such as financial transactions, in the case of Paypal, or means of communication, as Skype does. The key to success here is providing an easy-to-use, reliable service. Do this and you can easily become the market leader, as Skype has proved.Products which are potentially embarrassing to buy also do well in the virtual environment. Some of the most profitable e-commerce companies are those selling sex-related products or services. For a similar reason, online gambling is highly popular.Products which are usually considered unsuitable for selling online include those that have a taste or smell component. Food, especially fresh food, falls into this category, along with perfume. Clothes and other items that need to be tried on such as diamond rings and gold necklaces are generally not suited to virtual retailing,and, of course, items with a low value-to-weight ratio.There are exceptions, though. Online grocery shopping has really taken off, with most major supermarkets offering the service. The inconvenience of not being able to see the food you are buying is outweighed by the time saved and convenience of having the goods delivered. Typical users of online supermarkets include the elderly, people who work long hours and those without their own transport.23 What is important to the success of an online store？24. What products are unsuitable for selling online？25. Who are more likely to buy groceries onlineNow listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.23. A) The guaranteed quality of its goods.B) The huge volume of its annual sales.C) The service it provides to its customers.D) The high value-to-weight ratio of its goods.24. A) Those having a taste or smell component.B) Products potentially embarrassing to buy.C) Those that require very careful handling.D) Services involving a personal element.25. A) Those who live in the virtual world.B) Those who have to work long hours.C) Those who are used to online transactions.D) Those who don’t mind paying a little more.Section C16. B 17. D18. A 19.

Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached an intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about student who want to learn specialist English for their work or professional life? Most students, who fit into this third group have a clear idea about what they want to learn. A bank clerk, for example, wants to use this specialist vocabulary and technical terms of finance. But for teachers, deciding how to teach specialist English is not always so easy. For a start, the variety is enormous. Every field from airline pilots to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of that specialist language, andnot many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way specialist English is taught in schools. This type of course is usually known as English for Specific Purposes, or ESP and there isn't ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain, for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters travel agents and people working in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular ESP courses are for business English.Questions 11 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What is the characteristic of learners of special English?12. Who needs ESP courses most?13. What are the most popular ESP courses in Britain?14. What is the speaker mainly talking about?KEY: D A B CPassage 2:The first step to stop drug abuse is knowing why people start to use drugs. The reasons people abuse drugs are as different as people are from one to another. But there seems to be one common thread: people seem to take drugs to change the way they feel. They want to feel better or feel happy or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about themselves when they are under the influence of drugs. But the effects don't last long. Drugs don't solve problems. They just postpone them. No matter how far drugs may take you, it's alwaysaround trip. After a while, people who miss drugs may feel worse about themselves, and then they may use more drugs. If someone you know is using or abusing drugs, you can help. Themost important part you can play is to be there. You can let your friends know that you care. You can listen and try to solve the problem behind your friend's need to use drugs. Two people together can often solve a problem that seems too big for one person alone. Studies of heavy abusers in the United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted. They didn't have close friends to talk to. When you or your friends take the time to care for each other, you're all helping to stop drugs abuse. After all, what is a friend for?Questions 15 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.15. Why do some people abuse drugs?16. According to the passage, what is the best way to stop friends from abusing drugs?17. What are the findings of the studies about heavy drug users?KEY: B A APassage 3：Bows and arrows, are one of man's oldest weapons. They gave early man an effective weapon to kill his enemies. The ordinary bow or short bow was used by early all early people. This bow bad limited power and short range. However, man overcame these faults by learning to track his targets at a close range. The long bow was most likely discovered when someone found out that a five-foot piece of wood made a better bow than a three-foot piece. Hundreds of thousands of these bows were made and used for three hundred years. However, not one is known to survive today. We believe that a force of about one hundred pounds was needs to pull the string all the way back on a long bow. For a long time the bow was just a bent stick andstring. In fact, more changes have taken place in a bow in the past 25 years than in the last 7 centuries. Today, bow is forceful. It is as exact as a gun. In addition, it requires little strength to draw the string. Modern bows also have precise aiming devices. In indoor contests, perfect scores from 40 yard are common. The invention of the bows itself ranks with discovery of fire and the wheel. It was a great-step-forward for man. Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.18. Why did man have to track his target at a close range when using a short bow?19. What does the passage tell us about the long bow?20. What do we know about modern bows?:KEY: C B APassage 4：Key: 1. in a loud voice2. particularly interesting3. in the same room4. in curing them5. had a talk6. suffering from a delusion7. who are you。

Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked the fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster. To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays fire fighters equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. If you see us, Velez tells them, don t hide! We are not monsters. We have come to rescue you. Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish. Growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents. Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks. But it s a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris. In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.26 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters?27 What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez?28 What do we learn about Pete Gentry?29 What message is the speaker trying to convey?Passage TwoSome people want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early.I see people pursuing higher paying and increasingly demanding careers to accomplish this goal. They make many personal sacrifices in exchange for income today. The problem is that tomorrow might not come. Even if it all goes according to plan, will you know how to be happy when you are not working ifyou spend your entire life making money? More importantly, who will be around for you to share your leisure time with? At the other extreme are people who live only for today. Why bother saving when I might not be here tomorrow, they argue. The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all. And most people don t want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living. The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older. You maybe surprise to hear me say that if you must pick an extreme I think it s better to pick the spend-all approach. As long as you don t mind continuing to work, assuming your health allows, you should be OK. At least, you are making use of your money, and hopefully deriving value and pleasure from it. Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake. It may never come. Retirement can be a great time for some people. For others, it is a time of boredom, loneliness and poor health.30 Why do some people pursue higher paying but demanding careers?31 What is the danger facing people who live only for today?32 What does the speaker seem to advocate?Passage ThreeImagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. How fair will that be? Well, it happens everyday to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves. Even though I d never steal.Store employees looked at me like I m some kind of hardened criminal. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Graben Gore Restaurant to have a hot dog. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story. No more than two students at a time . After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he said, You kids are stealing too much stuff. You kids? Too much stuff? We were not only assumed to be thieves, but brilliant, greedy thieves. The most annoying thing though, is the way employees watched my friends and me. It s horrible.Once, at a drug store, I was looking around and found a guy standing on a large box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands, more than he was watching his own. I showed him that my hands were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. How crazy is that!33. What does the speaker find to be unfair?34. What measure did the Graben Gore Restaurant take to stop stealing?35. What happened in a drug store that greatly annoyed the speaker?Section CWriting keeps us in touch with other people. We write to communicate with relatives and friends. We write to preserve our family histories so our children and grandchildren can learn and appreciate their heritage. With computers and Internet connections in so many households, colleges, and businesses, people are e-mailing friends and relatives all the time -- or talking to them in writing in online chat rooms. It is cheaper than calling long distance, and a lot more convenient than waiting until Sunday for the telephone rates to drop. Students are e-mailing their professors to receive and discuss their classroom assignments and to submit them. They are e-mailing classmates to discuss and collaborate on homework. They are also sharing information about concerts and sports events, as well as jokes and their philosophies of life.Despite the growing importance of computers, however, there will always be a place and need for the personal letter. A hand-written note to a friend or a family member is the best way to communicate important thoughts. No matter what the content of the message, its real point is, I want you to know that I care about you. This writing practice brings rewards that can t be seen in bank accounts, but only in the success of human relationships.2011年6月CET4英语四级听力真题原文Section A11.

For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad.

Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check.

It’s been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token £1 failed.The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain’s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years.Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.Many of the store group’s 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs.

In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.The idea has proved popular w ith customers ― they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. Banks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white to a plain white colour.5.

C六级听力样题Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.Moderator （会议主持人）:Hello Ladies and Gentleman, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker for today’s session, Dr. Howard Miller. Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington Universit y, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller:Dr. Miller:Thank you for that introduction. Today, I’d like to preface my remarks with a story from my ownlife which I feel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting back the tears, he spoke proudly of the fact that he had built their home from the ground up, and that he had pounded every nail and laid every brick in the process. The prospect of having to sell their home and give up their independence, and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. It was, in my grandfather’s own words, like having a limb cut off. He exclaimed in a forceful manner that he felt he wasn’t important anymore.For them and some older Americans, their so-called “golden years” are at times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of not only one’s health but the loss of identity and self-worth. In many societies, this self-identity is closely related with our social status, occupation, material possessions, or independence. Furthermore, we often live in societies that value what is “new” or in fashion, and our own usage of words in the English language is often a sign of bad news for older Americans. I mean how would your family react if you came home tonight exclaiming, “Hey, come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!” Unfortunately, the word “old” calls to mind i mages of the need to replace or discard.Now, many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform, medical care, and the development of public facilities for senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, I’d like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies.First of all, I’d like to talk about . . .16. What does the introduction say about Dr. Howard Miller’s articles and books?17. What is the greatest fear of Dr. Miller’s grandfather?18. What does Dr. Miller say the “golden years” can often mean?19. What is the focus of Dr. Miller’s speech?Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 16 to 19.16. A) They investigate the retirement homes in America.B) They are on issues facing senior citizens in America.C) They describe the great pleasures of the golden years.D) They are filled with fond memories of his grandparents.17. A) The loss of the ability to take care of himself.B) The feeling of not being important any more.C) Being unable to find a good retirement home.D) Leaving the home he had lived in for 60 years.18. A) The loss of identity and self-worth.B) Fear of being replaced or discarded.C) Freedom from pressure and worldly cares.D) The possession of wealth and high respect.19. A) The urgency of pension reform.B) Medical care for senior citizens.C) Finding meaningful roles for the elderly in society.D) The development of public facilities for senior citizens.Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.20. A) It seriously impacts their physical and mental development.B) It has become a problem affecting global economic growth.C) It is a common problem found in underdeveloped countries.D) It is an issue often overlooked by parents in many countries.21. A) They will live longer. C) They get along well with people.B) They get better pay. D) They develop much higher IQs.22. A) Appropriated funds to promote research of nutrient-rich foods.B) Encouraged breastfeeding for the first six months of a child’s life.C) Recruited volunteers to teach rural people about health and nutrition.D) Targeted hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children.Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.The 2010 Global Hunger Index report was released today by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). It notes that, in recent years, experts have come to the conclusion that undernourishment between conception and a child’s second birthday can have serious andlong-lasting impacts.Undernourishment during this approximately 1,000-day window can seriously check the growth and development of children and render them more likely to get sick and die than well-fed children. Preventing hunger allows children to develop both physically and mentally.Says IFPRI’s Marie Ruel, “They will be more likely to perform well in school. They will stay in school longer. And then at adulthood, IFPRI has actually demonstrated that children who were better nourished have higher wages, by a pretty large margin, by 46 percent.”Ruel says that means the productivity of a nation’s future generations depends in a large part on the first 1,000 days of life.“This is why we’re all on board in focusing on those thousand days to improve nutrition. After that, the damage is done and is highly irreversible.”The data on nutrition and childhood development has been slowly coming together for decades. But Ruel says scientific consensus alone will not solve the problem.“It’s not enough that nutritionists know you have to intervene then, if we don’t have the politicians on board, and also the...people that implement [programs] in the field.”Ruel says there are encouraging signs that politicians and implementers are beginning to get on board. Many major donors and the United Nations are targeting hunger-relief programs at pregnant women and young children. They focus on improving diets or providing micro-food supplements. They improve access to pre-birth care and encourage exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of a child’s life.Ruel says in the 1980s Thailand was able to reduce child undernourishment by recruiting a large number of volunteers to travel the countryside teaching about health and nutrition.“They really did very active promotion of diversity in the diet and good eating habits. So they were providing more food to people, but also educating people on how to use them, and also educating people on how to feed their young children.”Ruel says countries may take different approaches to reducing child undernutrition. But she saysnations will not make progress fighting hunger and poverty until they begin to focus on those critical first thousand days.20. What is the experts’ conclusion regarding children’s undernourishment in their earliest days of life?21. What does IFPRI’s Marie Ruel say about well-fed children in their adult life?22. What did Thailand do to reduce child undernourishment in the 1980s?Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.I’d like to look at a vital aspect of e-commerce, and that is the nature of the product or service. There are certain products and services that are very suitable for selling online, and others that simply don’t work.Suitable products generally have a high value-to-weight ratio. Items such as CDs and DVDs are obvious examples. Books, although heavier and so more expensive to post, still have a high enough value-to-weight ratio, as the success of Amazon, which started off selling only books, shows. Laptop computers are another good product for selling online.Digital products, such as software, films and music, can be sold in a purely virtual environment. The goods are paid for by online transactions, and then downloaded onto the buyer’s computer. There are no postage or delivery costs, so prices can be kept low.Many successful virtual companies provide digital services, such as financial transactions, in the case of Paypal, or means of communication, as Skype does. The key to success here is providing an easy-to-use, reliable service. Do this and you can easily become the market leader, as Skype has proved.Products which are potentially embarrassing to buy also do well in the virtual environment. Some of the most profitable e-commerce companies are those selling sex-related products or services. For a similar reason, online gambling is highly popular.Products which are usually considered unsuitable for selling online include those that have a taste or smell component. Food, especially fresh food, falls into this category, along with perfume. Clothes and other items that need to be tried on such as diamond rings and gold necklaces are generally not suited to virtual retailing, and, of course, items with a low value-to-weight ratio. There are exceptions, though. Online grocery shopping has really taken off, with most major supermarkets offering the service. The inconvenience of not being able to see the food you are buying is outweighed by the time saved and convenience of having the goods delivered. Typical users of online supermarkets include the elderly, people who work long hours and those without their own transport.23 What is important to the success of an online store?24. What products are unsuitable for selling online?25. Who are more likely to buy groceries online?Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 23 to 25.23. A) The guaranteed quality of its goods.B) The huge volume of its annual sales.C) The service it provides to its customers.D) The high value-to-weight ratio of its goods.24. A) Those having a taste or smell component.B) Products potentially embarrassing to buy.C) Those that require very careful handling.D) Services involving a personal element.25. A) Those who live in the virtual world.B) Those who have to work long hours.C) Those who are used to online transactions.D) Those who don’t mind paying a little more.Section C16. B 17. D 18. A 19.

Tape Script of Listening 611. Now, Mr. Jones, why do you want to go to Australia? Well, I’m really thinking about my children. You see, there aren’t many jobs I can do here. Why does the man want to go to Australia?12. We’ll have to hurry if we’re going to be on time to the airport. It’s already 8:30. Well, it takes only half an hour to get to the airport, and the plane doesn’t leave until 9:15. I think we’ll make it all right if we leave immediately. How much time is the couple allowing once they get to the airport?13. Why didn’t you stop when we first signaled? I’m sorry. Will I have to pay a fine? What is the probable relationship between the man and the woman?14. Did you find the tickets? Hurry up! We’re going to be late. You said you kept them on the desk. Thank goodness I checked the drawer. How could we go without the tickets? Where were the tickets?15. What happened to you, John? I went to a night club in the town and I drank the local beverage.

There’s nothing I can do. No. No. Look. No. I didn’t drop it off a building or anythi ng. I mean, whatdifference can ten days make? I mean you…you can… Sir, I’m sorry, we have the six-month rule for a reason. We can’t…Well, but you can bend the rule a little bit. Make an exception for you? Then we’ll have to make an exception for everybody. You could say it’s only a month, it’s only two months. I just lost twenty dollars worth of tapes. Sir, I’m sorry, it’s too late. It actually ate the tapes. I mean, they’re destroyed. I mean…Well, sir, you know when your warranty runs out. You should have brought itin before. It was guaranteed for six months. I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do. Paying for this is adding insult to injury. I mean, surely you’re going to make good on this cassette player.

Why did the man bring the machine back to the store?24. What was the woman’s reaction to the man’s request?25. Why did the woman refuse to repair the man’s machine for free? Passage OneThe diamond is considered the most famous and valuable jewel in the world. Diamonds are made as a result of great volcanic heat and pressure.A volcano is a mountain with a hole in the top. When a volcano is very active it sometimes explodes and causes great damage.Diamonds were pushed towards the surface of the earth millions of years ago by a number of great volcanic explosions. It is in the narrow volcanic pipes that diamonds are found. They are also found among the sand stones of certain river beds, and in a few places on the floor of the sea. For they were washed down the mountain sides by the rain. Diamonds are very rare. There are not many diamond pipes or diamond-producing rivers in the world. During the last century adventurers from Europe went to Brazil, because they had heard that there were diamonds in the River Amazon. Many of these early diamond miners died of illness or were lost forever in the great forests. But some returned home rich. The earliest known diamonds were found in India many centuries ago. The most recent and exciting discoveries have been made in eastern Russia. But most of the world’s diamonds now come from the Congo, from Tanzania—which has the largest diamond mine in the world—and from South Africa.26. Which of the following is not mentioned by the speaker?27. According to the passage, where did diamond first come into existence?28. What do you think is the best title for this passage?Passage TwoThe sea is the largest unknown part of our world. It covers seventy-one percent of the earth. There is still much to be discovered about this vast blanket of water.If the waters of the ocean could be moved away, the sea floor with its wide valleys, irregular fountains and rivers in the sea would be an unbelievable sight. Around the edges of the continents the ocean floor is flat and the water does not become much deeper for about thirty miles. Where there are high young mountains along the coast, this flat part may be much less than thirty miles. But where rivers flow into the sea, the flat area may extend for hundreds of miles.The region near the continents, where the water is not so deep, is the place where you can find a lot of living creatures and plants. Below these living creatures and plants are the largest known quantities of minerals.At the end of the flat part the sea floor suddenly drops down, forming deep hollows which are shaped like bowls. These huge hollows hold most of the world’s water.29. How much percent of the earth does the sea cover?30. How is the water around the edges of the continents?31. Where is the good place for living creatures in the sea?Passage ThreeFrank Cummings had been waiting for three days. He had seen people walk in the out of the hotel across the street. Not one of them was the person Frank was looking for. “I know she’s in there,” he said to himself. “And I know she can’t stay in her room forever. Sooner or later she has to come out.” He checked his camera again and looked out of the window. The seat next to him was covered with cameras of all sizes.He started to think about her. He needed a good picture of her to complete his book of photographs. Everyone knows she didn’t like photographers. She always tried to avoid them. Frank was watching the hotel door when she suddenly appeared. She was tall, beautiful, and wearing fashionable clothes. A companion stood next to her. On her other side was a very big man—a driver she also used as a guard. “She wasbeauty and talent,” Frank thought. “Now I know why her fans admire her.”All at once the actress and the others entered a car and drove away. The photographer followed them in his car. “Just one prize picture,” he said. “That’s all I really want.” He knew this book of photographs would make him famous.32. What was Frank Cummings?33. Who were with the actress?34. Why did Frank need a good picture of the actress?35. What did everyone know about the actress?。

然而，过高的音量可能会对考生的听力造成损害，因此四六级耳机的最大输入功率应符合国家标准。

根据国家标准，四六级耳机的最大输入功率不应超过200mW。

3. 输出声音质量：播放设备需要能够提供清晰、准确的英语听力材料，确保考生能够听到高质量的声音。

4. 抗干扰能力：播放设备应具备抗干扰能力，以减少外部噪音和其他干扰因素对听力材料的干扰。

5. 稳定性：播放设备应具有稳定的性能，以确保在考试期间不会出现故障或音质问题。

6. 易于操作：播放设备应易于操作，以便在考试期间快速、准确地调整音量和频道等设置。

总之，四六级英语听力播放设备需要符合一定的标准，以确保考试的公正性和准确性。

四六级英语考试听力分值从20%扩大到35%

四六级英语考试听力分值从20%扩大到35% 四六级侧重听说等应用能力考查四六级改革多次，题目形式和分值设置变化很大，越来越重视测试学生的英文综合水平。

近两年，四六级考试人数逐渐走高，在校大学生报考人数逐渐增多。

自从四六级1987年9月问世以来，其成绩的权威性已成为众多用人单位招聘人才的敲门砖，以至于报考四六级人数逐年增加。

1987年第一次考才10万人，到2004年这一年四六级全国参加考试人数竟然突破了1100万。

由此可见学生、各大高校乃至社会工作者对证书的重要性的热衷。

新题型较之旧题型本身难度加大，其中最大难关是听力，其次是主观题分值的增加。

将阅读分值从占总分的40%改为35%，听力则从以前的20%扩大到35%，这对传统课堂环境下的大学生来说挑战不小。

此外，题型也有大变化。

主观题分值可能从以前考试的25%提高到占总卷分数的40%以上。

阅读由原来的多项选择题变为：多项选择题、选词填空，快速阅读的是非判断句子题的结合体，增加了主观题，加大了难度。

而综合部分则增加改错、篇章问答和翻译，改错以前只是在六级考试中才出现，而统计显示，改错题全国六级考生的得分通常低于3分。

对此，专家表示，如果从前平常的口语对话练习是一种“点缀”，那么新题型后的考试要求在校大学生要更多把英语用起来，不是在英语角里简单机械地重复对话，而是要多和口语水平高的人做一些比较深入的对话，在语境中理解词、句等的意思和用法，对考试帮助会很大。

大框架不变但考得更“细”研究生入学英语考试是国内难度最大的英语考试。

2008年考研新大纲刚一出台，即引起众多考生关注。

2008年新大纲和去年比，并没有大幅调整，从词汇到题目设置都维持了去年的内容和架构，但在一些方面提出更为细致和深入的要求。

语法上，历年考研大纲均未对语法知识提出很详实的要求，但从近几年考试风格看，对语法点的考察从词法开始倾向于句法，不再过多考察词性、搭配等，而侧重于比较句等句法知识，从对单一语法点的考察转变向语法综合运用，例如在完形中考察连词构成复合句，在翻译中考察从句划分和修饰判定等。

下面是给大家整理的大学英语四六级听力材料的相关知识，供大家参阅!大学英语四六级听力材料1The Importance of SoundHearing can soothe and comfort.The snapping of logs in the fireplace, the gossipy whisper of a broom, the inquisitive wheeze of a drawer opening ; all are savored sounds that make us feel at home.In a well-loved home, every chair produced a different, recognizable creak, every window a different click, groan or squeak.The kitchen by itself is a source of many pleasing sounds.Every place, every event has a sound dimension.The sense of hearing can perhaps be restored to modern man if he better understands its worth and how it works.Most people would be surprised to discover how far the sense can be pushed by cultivation.At a friend's house recently, my wife opened her purse and some coins spilled out, one after another, onto the floor.“Three quarters, two dimes, a nickel and three pennies,”said our host as he came in from the next room.And as an afterthought: “One of the quarters is silver.”He was right, down to the last penny.“How did you do it?”we asked.“Try it yourself.”he said.We did, and with a little practice we found it easy.Curiously, evidence indicates that people need sound.When we are lost in thought, we involuntarily drum with our fingers or tap with a pencil ; a reminder that we are still surrounded by a world outside ourselves.Just cutting down reflected sound can produce some odd results.The nearest thing on earth to the silence of outer space, for example, is the “anechoic chamber”at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in Burray Hills, N.J., which is lined with material that absorbs 99.98% of all reflected sound.Men who have remained in the room for more than an hour report that they feel nervous and out of touch with reality.大学英语四六级听力材料2This I BelieveI believe in the supreme worth of the individual and hisright to life, liberty, and pursuit ofhappiness.I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation, everypossession, a duty.I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is theservant of the people and not their master.I believe in the dignity of labor whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a livingbut that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite ofa sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs.I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man’s word should be as good as his bond;that character ; not wealth or power or position ; is of supreme worth.I believe the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in thepurifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the humansoul set free.I believe in the all-wise and all-loving God, named by whatever name; and that individual’shighest fulfillment, greatest happiness and widest usefulness are to be found in living inharmony with his will.I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that rightcan and will triumph over might.大学英语四六级听力材料3Passage 55. Stress and Relaxation It is commonly believed that only rich middle-aged businessmen suffer from stress. In factanyone may become ill as a result of stress if they experience a lot of worry over a long periodand their health is not especially good. Stress can be a friend or an enemy: it can warn you thatyou are under too much pressure and should change your way of life.It can kill you if you don't notice the warning signals. Doctors agree that it is probably thebiggest single cause of illness in the Western world. When we are very frightened and worriedour bodies produce certain chemicals to help us fight what is troubling us.Unfortunately, these chemicals produce the energy needed to run away fast from an object offear, and in modern life that's often impossible. If we don't use up thesechemicals, or if weproduce too many of them, they may actually harm us. The parts of the body that are mostaffected by stress are the stomach, heart,skin, head and back.Stress can cause car accidents, heart attacks, and alcoholism, and may even drive people tosuicide. Our living and working conditions may put us under stress. Overcrowding in large cities,traffic jams, competition for jobs, worry about the future, any big changes in our lives, maycause stress. Some British doctors have pointed out that one of Britain's worst waves ofinfluenza happened soon after the new coins came into use. Also if you have changed jobs ormoved house in recent months you are more likely to fall ill than if you haven't. And morepeople commit suicide in times of inflation. As with all illnesses, prevention is better than cure.If you find you can't relax, it is a sign of danger. "When you're taking work home, when youcan't enjoy an evening with friends, when you haven't time for outdoor exercise;that is thetime to stop and ask yourself whether your present life really suits you." Says one familydoctor. " Then it's time to join a relaxation class, or take up dancing, painting or gardening."大学英语四六级听力材料4Passage 54. Dining Etiquette When DatingBe sure to make reservations if the restaurant you chose is a fancy or popular one. It's very embarrassing to show up without reservations and having to wait for a table, leaving very bad impression on your date. Also, be sure to check to see if they have a dress code and tell your date in advance what to wear.When your food arrives, proper dinning etiquette requires you to eat at a moderate pace so that you have time to talk. A good measure of how fast you should eat is to count 10 seconds between each mouthful and it's a bad dining etiquette if you gobble down your food and you spend the rest of the time watching your date eat. Don't slurp your soup, smack your lips, or chew with your mouth open. Nothing is more unsightly than watching someone talk and chew their food at the same time. Your napkin should be placed on your lap at all times. Don't tuck it into your belt or use it as a bib. If you have to get up, place it neatly on your seat. When eating, insert your fork straight in your mouth. Don't place your fork in the side of your mouth as it increases the chances of food sliding away, which could be veryembarrassing. If you get food stuck in your mouth don't pick it out with your fingers or fork at the table. Excuse yourself and go to the restroom and get it out with a toothpick. When dinning, keep your eyes on your date at all times and try to smile between mouthfuls. Occasionally,you should make an effort to show some interest and ask questions like,"How do you like the beef?" If she needs anything, you are the one who is supposed to flag down the waiter by a gentle wave of the hand until someone notices you.看过大学英语四六级听力材料的相关知识的人还。

He is soon going to have an evaluation interview with his supervisor and the personnel director to discuss the work he has done in the past year. Salary, promotion and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting. Chris has made several changes for his Division in the past year. First, he bought new equipment for one of the departments. He has been particularly happy about the new equipment because many of the employees have told him how much it has helped them. Along with improving the equipment, Chris began a program to train employees to use equipment better and do simple maintenance themselves. The training saved time for the employees and money for the company. Unfortunately, one serious problem developed during the year. Two employees the Chris hired were stealing, and he had to fire them. Chris knows that a new job for a purchasing and maintenance manager for the whole company will be open in a few months, and he would like to be promoted to the job. Chris knows, however, that someone else wants that new job, too. Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another Division of the company. She has also made several changes over the year. Chris knows that his boss likes Kim’s work, and he expects that his work will be compared with hers.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29.

There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now.But in the first place, you did a French degree.In my time, there wasn’t a degree you could do for administration. I think most of the administrators I’ve come across have degrees and all sorts of things.Well, I know in my case, I did an English literature degree and I didn’t really expect to end up doing what I am doing now. Quite.But you are local to Nottingham, actually? Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University?No, no, I come from the north of England, from west Yorkshire.
