He said it was probably hereditary. My father was bald by the time he was thirty.W: And how old are you?M: Me? I’m twenty-eight.W: And are losing a lot of hair then?M: Well, it comes out a lot when I comb my hair and you can see a thin part on the top of my head.W: Does that really worry you, Jim?M: Well, I don’t like it.

And I wonder if there is some special shampoo I should use, and if you could tell me one that I should buy, something like that, you know, to stop it getting worse.W: Well, you know, Jim, to be honest with you there’s not really a lot you can do about it, actually, I’m afrai d. I mean, baldness is one of those things that, in my experience, you just have to accept. Some men find it more difficult to accept baldness than others. There is one piece of advice, though, Jim, and that’s don’t try to comb your hair over the bald or t hin patch.Whatever you do, don’t comb it over because that usually looks ridiculous. And the other thing that usually looks ridiculous is a man with a wig, that is, the false hairpiece. Don’t let anyone persuade you to buy one of those false hairpiece things, because they usually look much worse than a bald man. I actually think bald men can look very attractive.

How long have you been in Australia?W: A year in Adelaide and six months in Sydney. I prefer Sydney, and I’ve got more friends here. M: What’s your address at your aunt’s house?百度文库- 让每个人平等地提升自我W: Flat one, 539 Forest Road, Canterbury. And the post code is 2036.M: OK. What are you studying now?W: I was studying General English in Adelaide and now I’m doing Academic English, because I’m trying to get into Medicine next year.M: That sounds good, but it’ll take you a long time. When would you like to move out from your aunt’s?W: My cousin arrives on Friday morning, so I’d better be out on T hursday.M: Is that the seventh of September?W: Yes, that’s right.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the conversation you have just heard.33.

M: Stress is generally driven by the feeling of being out of control of a situation, and a feeling of a situation controlling you.Trading in financial markets combines both.W: How do you relax in the evening?M: I very rarely do anything work-related. So it's easy to escapethe markets. I generally go to the gym or go for a run,especially if I've had a bad day. I always cook a meal, rather than have a take-away., to do something my brain would regard as creative.W: Do you think what you do to relax is an effective way to beat stress? M: I don't think there's a specific rule about how to beat stress. I generally find that what I do is effective for me.W: Would you consider changing your job because of the high-stress factor?

I enjoy a mental challenge. Trading generates a wide range of emotions second by second.

What is the man's job?Q24. Why does the man prefer to cook a meal rather than have a take-away? Q25. What does the man say about an element of stress in his job?Section BPassage 1Since early times, people have been fascinated with the idea of life existing somewhere else besides earth. Until recently, scientists believe that life on other planets was just a hopeful dream. But now they are beginning to locate places where life could form. In 1997, they saw evidence of planets near other stars like the sun. But scientists now think that life could be evennearer in our own solar system. One place scientists are studying very closely is Europa(木卫二-木星最亮的四颗行星之一),a moon of Jupiter. Space probes have provided evidence that Europahas a large ocean under its surface. The probes have also madescientists think that under its surface Europa has a rocky core givingoff volcanic heat. Water and heat from volcanic activity are two basic conditions needed for life to form. A third is certain basic chemicals such as carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.Scientists believe there might be such chemicals lying at the bottom of Europa's ocean. They may have already created life or may be about to. You may wonder if light is also needed for life to form. Until recently, scientists thought that light was essential. But now, places have been found on earth that are in total blackness such as caves several miles beneath the surface.And bacteria(细菌), primitive forms of life, have been seen there.So the lack of light in Europa's sub-surface ocean doesn't automatically rule out life forming.Questions 26 to 2826. What did scientists once believe according to the passage?27. What have scientists found about Europa, a moon of Jupiter?28. What have scientists come to know recently about formation of life?Passage 2In her early days as an emergency room physician, Doctor Joanna Myer treated a child who had suffered a second degree burn. After the child had been treated and was being prepared for discharge, Doctor Myertalked to the parents about how they should care for the child at home. Also listening to her were a half a dozen other family members. A few hours later, when she came to say goodbye, the family asked her tosettle an argument they'd been having over exactly what advice she had given. “As I talked to them, I was amazed.” she said, ”All of them had heard the simple instructions I have given just a few hours before, but they have three or four different versions. The most basic details were unclear and confusing. I was surprised, because these were intelligent people.” This episode gave Doctor Myer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or later—most people just don't listen very well. Nowadays, she says she repeats her instructions, and even conducts a reality check with some patients. She asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do. She also provides take-home sheets which are computer printouts tailored to the patients' situation. Dr. Myer's listeners are not unusual. When new or difficult material is presented, almost all listeners are faced with the challenge because human speech lacks the stability andpermanence of the printed word. Oral communication is fast-movingand impermanent.Question 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard:29. What did the child's family members argue about in the hospital?30. What did Dr. Myer do to insure her patients understand her instructions?31. What does the speaker say about human speech?Passage 3It's logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits and job security motivate workers, but one expert, Fredrick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers. They are merely satisfiers. Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility. However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there're always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs and lots of unskilled people who have to do them. So how do mangers motivate people in such jobs? One solution is to give them some responsibilities, not as individuals, but as a part of a team. For example, some supermarkets canbuy office stuff to people who fill the shelves, and the people who work at the check out into a team, and let them decide what product lines to stock, how to display them and so on. Many people now talk about the importance of a company's shared values or culture with which all the staff can identify, for example, being the best hotel chain, or making the best, the most user-friendly or the most reliable products in a particular field. Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financialtargets which automatically only concern a few people. Unfortunately, there's only a limited number of such goals to go around and by definition, not all the competing companies in that industry canseriously plan to be the best.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32. What can actually motivate workers according to Fredrick Herzberg?33. What does the speaker say about jobs in the computer era?34. What do some supermarkets do to motivate their employees?35. Why does the speaker say financial targets are less likely to motivate workers?Section CIn the humanities, authors write to inform you in many ways. These methods can be (36) classified into three types of informational writing: factual, descriptive, and process.Factual writing provides (37) background information on an author, composer or artist or on a type of music, literature, or art. Examplesof factual writing include notes in the book jacket or (38) album cover and longer pieces, such as an article describing a style of music which you might read in a music (39) appreciation course. This kind of writing provides a (40) context for your study of humanities.As its name (41) implies, descriptive writing simply describes or provides an (42) image of, a piece of music, art or literature. For example, descriptive writing might list the colors an artist used in a painting or the (43) instruments a composerincluded in the musical composition. So as to make pictures ofsounds in the readers' mind by calling up the specific details ofthe work.. (44) Descriptive writing in the humanities, particularlyin literature is often mixed with critical writing.Process writing explains a series of actions that bring about a result. (45). It tells the reader how to do something, for example, explaining the technique used to shoot a film. This kind of writing is often found in art, where understanding how an artist created a certain effect is important. (46) Authors may actually use more than one type of technique in the given piece ofinformational writing.答案:11. A 12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D 16. C 17. D 18. A19. C 20. B 21. C 22. A23. D 24. B 25.

听力建议要保证每天听上至少三十分钟的真题听力,不要计较能听懂多少,首先要保证听,其次才是精听。
具体的做法就是:(1)第一天:完整的听一套真题听力。
不要在乎结果,尽量听,哪怕只能听懂其中的几个词也可以接受。
(2)第二天:把之前一天听过的听力再听一遍。
也不是急于全文听懂。
在这次听过之后,可以把原文拿出来朗读一遍。
(3)第三天:还是之前的材料,这次听一句,停顿一下,尽量重复说一遍,至于对错与否,也不要太过执着。
(4)第四天:材料同上,完整的听一遍即可,这次通常会有点感觉到能听懂较多了。
(5)第五天:材料同上,听一句,重述一句,对着原文检查一下,再听,再复述,到完全正确为止。
这就是一份真题应该做到的精听。
如果第五天还不能做到,就按照上述步骤的4,5重复做到完全正确为止。
短对话听力题型是四级考试中固定的而且相对简单的题型,共8道题。
采用一男一女对话的形式,对话内容是日常生活信息。
在平时多听的基础上,加上必要的技巧,相对来说还是比较容易得分的。
一、常考题型1.地点题【试题特点】地点题提问的是对话发生的地点,常用的提问方式有:Where does the conversation most probably take place?Where does this conversation most likely occur?Where are the two speakers?【答题技巧】地点题的解答需要抓住与特定地点相关的常用词语。
这类题目的对话中一般不会提到具体场所,问题往往要求根据对话内容推测出谈话场所或某人的去向。
要注意抓取信息词,即与特定地点相关的最常用词语。
【典型例题】【例7】A) At a clinic. B) In a supermarket.C) At a restaurant. D) In an ice cream shop.【录音】W:I’ll have the steak, French fries, and let s see, chocolate ice cream for dissert.M: Oh, oh, you know these things will ruin your health, too much fat and sugar, how about ordering some vegetables and fruit instead?Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?机场(飞机上)重点1.机场地点Security check(安检处) Gate(登机口)Check-in counter (换票柜台) Customs (海关)2. 机场人物Air-hostess/stewardess (空姐) steward (空哥、空少)flight attendant (飞机乘务员)3. 飞机动作Take off/land (起飞、降落) ascend/descend(上升、下降)postpone/delay/cancel (推迟、延迟、取消)最近题目例句:(2007-12)I hope you are packed and ready to leave. (我希望你已经打包完毕准备出发了)I have packed my passport in one of my bags.

对话中的称呼语往往会直接暴露出说话人的身份或说话双方的关系,比如Mr.一词就表明对方很可能是自己的上级或老师。
同时要善于捕捉关键词及人物语气。
解答这类试题,不但要熟悉体现某种人物关系或某种职业的相关词汇,而且要注意说话人的语气和态度,比如师生之间、夫妻之间、家长与孩子之间以及老板与员工之间的说话方式和语气均有自己的特点。
在短对话部分常考的职业身份有:教授(professor)、秘书(secretary)、医生(doctor)、老板(boss)、服务员(waiter/waitress)、主人(host/hostess)、修理工(repairer/plumber/electrician…)、家庭角色(husband/wife/son/daughter/girlfriend…)短对话部分涉及的人物关系包括:夫妻(husband—wife)、父子(father—son)、母子(mother—son)、师生(teacher—student)、同学(schoolmate/ classmate)、同事(colleague)、老板与秘书(boss—secretary)、雇主与雇员(employer—employee)、医生与病人(doctor—patient)、服务员与顾客(waiter/waitress—customer)、主人与客人(host/hostess—guest)、警察与司机(policeman—driver)、管理员与借阅者(librarian—reader)、房东与租房者(landlord/landlady—tenant)【典型例题】【例8】A) A bank clerk. B) A secretary. C) A landlady. D) A doctor.【录音】M:According to your ad. in this morning’s paper, you have an apartment for rent.W: Yes,I have. It’s on the second floor. W ould you like to have a look? Come this way, please.Q: Who is the woman?【解析】从四个选项看,该题提问的是身份职业。
从对话中出现的关键词是an apartment for rent和ad.分析,录音中出现的男士和女士的关系应当是房东和租客的关系,因此这位女士应当是房东。
3.数字计算题【试题特点】数字计算题常见的提问方式有:What time…?How far/long…?How much/man y…?数字计算题一般涉及时间和价钱的运算。
(1)对活动发生时间的提问。
在通常情况下,该类试题一般不会直接告诉我们问题中所问的时间,而是会涉及时间的一些简单的加减运算。
要注意一些关键词,如:a quarter(to/past), half (past), daily, weekly, fortnight等。
1.时刻的读法:3:00 读作 three o'clock3:15 读作 a quarter past three / three fifteen3:45 读作 a quarter o four / three forty-five3:10 读作 ten past three/ three ten3:30 读作 half past three /three thirty2.年、月、日的读法1999年6月9日:June ninth,nineteen ninety-nine前天:the day before yesterday后天:the day after tomorrow每隔一天: every other day两个星期:a fortnight一百年:a century十年:a decade3.分数与小数的表达1/2 one half1/4 one fourth/one quarter3/4 three quarters0.547读作 zero point five four seven(2)商品的价格。
同样,在短对话中,该类试题也涉及一些简单的加减乘除运算。
要注意一些关键词,如:10% off, discount折扣, double两倍, half the price, couple两个, pair, dozen一打, a real bargain真正的便宜货, on sale打折,change找零等。
尤其要注意单件商品的价格,买多件商品是否优惠、找零,以及最后的问题是说话人要付的钱、单件商品的价格,还是买若干商品需要付的钱。
1. 货币名称和价格的说法Dollar美元,cent 美分, a quarter 25美分, a dime 10美分, a nickel 5美分【答题技巧】速记信息。
这类题目的对话中一般都不会只出现一个数字,因此一定要对出现的数字及相关要点信息进行速记。
听清问题。
做这类题目时,必须清楚地抓住问题是针对什么提问,然后才能根据记录的信息将答案对号入座。
不要直取答案。
这类题目的答案一般都不会是原文中数字信息的再现,往往需要经过简单的运算才能得出答案。
