Hello, Ricky.M: Hello. [1.A]Yes I looked at the provision of training by employers in this country, and found that most have a 'winner-takes-all' approach to training. Despite low-levels of basic skills, companies spend most of their training budgets on their most qualified employees, particularly managers. This simply doesn't result in the quality we need.W: But does this really matter?M: Yes, because even though there have been enormous efforts to make training available to everyone, the under-development of the workforce in this country is a major factor in our poor productivity. It's also true that the time people spend being trained is below the average of the world's industrialized economies.W: [2.A]Training is particularly bad in the fast-food industry, isn't it?M: Well, [2.B]the industry certainly has the image of offering low-paid, low-prestige jobs with no future prospects. And there are jobs that don't demand a great deal of skill, for instance using the latest technology for cooking. [2.A][2.B]But in fact, that image isn't entirely accurate.Not only are pay and conditions improving, but [2.D]some fast-food chains are better than many other service sector employers at combining commercial success with the development of its workforce.W: Can you give us an example?M: Well, the Burger House chain gives its staff the chance to take courses in all sorts of things, not just those needed for cooking or serving. When the annual training programme is circulated, staff plan with their managers which courses to attend. They encourage people to spend as much time being trained as they think they can benefit from. In the long term, the company gains financially, because it creates a source of potential managers.W: But still, working in a fast food establishment is much worse than in an expensive restaurant, isn't it?M: [3.A]In both cases, the work can resemble a production line, [3.B]with the pressure limiting the chances of job satisfaction. [3.D]But, expensive restaurants depend on the reputation of one or two individuals; the rest have little chance to move from low to high-skilled work. In some fast-food chains, almost half the managers have worked their way up from the kitchens.And while the type of service varies, I've seen good and bad quality in expensive restaurants and fast-food places, and that depends on training.W: Where will the pressure for improved training come from?M: In fact, it's internal. [4.A][4.B]Although customers are affected by the end result of training, they also tend to be sensitive to prices. So, [4.C]in fact, it's mostly people who have already worked their way up to managerial levels who want to help others in the same way.[4.D]Another advantage of course, is that training attracts job applicants, which makesrecruitment easier.W: What recommendations did you make in your report?M: [5.A]My main one is that the government should support training by letting companies claim tax relief. Many companies already get this for certain types of training, but the proposal would particularly help unskilled workers aiming at intermediate qualifications. [5.B]The government should also work with the sector skills council to improve training and working conditions in those industries where it's necessary.W: Do you think the government will act on your proposals?M: Well, [5.D]I want to reintroduce the idea of people getting grants, so that they can choose training for themselves, but there were problems with this a few years ago, so the political will probably isn't there to try it again. [5.C]I'm confident we'll see a review of all the vocational qualifications, though, which would remove some of the inconsistencies that are there now.And to be honest, my idea for all workers to spend a minimum time on training is unlikely to be introduced just yet.W: Ricky Bland, thank you.M: Thank you.【答案解析】 11。

星期3 WednesdaySuccess covers a multitude of blunders.成功由大量失望铸就。
学习内容题材词数建议时间错误统计做题备忘Text A 教育人物487 6分钟/5Text B 自然现象404 5.5分钟/4Text C 工业社会394 6分钟/6Text D 女性人物573 7.5分钟/5今日练习It is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is most incredible and unending effort. Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if y ou don’t believ e that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three real teachers in a lifetime are the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Rickets.I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.My three teachers had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing. They did not tell. They catalyzed(催化,刺激) a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizon sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable. But most important of all, the truth, that dangerous stuff, became beautiful and very precious.I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery.She aroused us to shouting, book-waving discussion. She had the noisiest class in school and she di dn’t ev en seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies.She was fired and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I could not do simple arithmetic but through her I sensed that abstract mathematics was very much like music. When she was relieved, sadness came over us but the light did not go out. She left her signature on us, the literature of the teacher who writes on minds. I have had many teachers who told me soon-forgotten backs but only three who crested in me a new thing, a new attitude and a new hunger. I suppose that to a large extent I am the unsigned manuscript of the high school teacher. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person?I can tell my son who looks forward with horror to fifteen years of drudgery (繁重而乏味的工作) that somewhere in the dusty dark a magic may happen that will light up the years if he isvery lucky.1. According to the first paragraph, the author assumes that[A] an illiterate adult enjoy learning knowledge.[B] learning to read is a tough thing.[C] school life is easy and enjoyable.[D] adults often remember their dull school life.2. According to the passage, all of the following can make a teacher EXCEPT that[A] teachers are keen on their career.[B] teachers can enlighten students to conceive.[C] teachers should be also artists in other fields.[D] teachers inspire students to discover.3. According to the author, what’s the most important feature for a real teacher?[A] A teacher should make fun in the class.[B] A teacher should breathe curiosity into students.[C] A teacher should school basic things.[D] A teacher should be knowledgeable.4. Mentioning the first teac her’s influence, the author compared himself to[A] a captured firefly.[B] a musician.[C] light.[D] an unsigned manuscript.5. An appropriate title for the passage might be[A] What Makes a Real Teacher?[B] My First Real Teacher[C] Three teachers of Mine[D] A Teacher Who Inflames MeText BOn most shores you will notice that the sea level changes throughout the day. These ups and downs of the seas are called tides.Why should tides occur? Everything on t he Earth’s surface is attr acted towards the Earth by a force called gravity. The Moon and the Sun also have a gravitational pull of their own. As the Moon passes around the Earth it attracts the waters of the oceans on the side facing it, pulling them away from the Earth, and causing them to bulge. On the opposite side from this “tidal bulge”, there is another one because on that side, the land is closer to the Moon than the waters, and the land is pulled away from the seas, leaving a bulge behind. These two bulges remain in the same position in relation to the Moon, but the rotation of the Earth means that each of them appears to move around the Earth. These bulges are called high water, and the gaps between them are called low water.There are two other factors that help in the formation of the tides. You know that if you cause the water in your bath to rock, it may rise and fall against the side of the bath for some time. In the same way, once the tides have begun, the waters tend to continue to rock up and down and they are given an extra push by the attraction of the Moon. The Sun also tends to attract the Earth’s oceans towards itself, but because it is so much further away, the attraction is less important. At。

王长喜六级冲刺试题答案及听力原文
参考答案【作文范文】Personal Information LeakageAn online survey conducted in 2008 showed that nearly 89 percent of the 2,422 people polled claimed their personal information had been leaked and they suffered. Take a lawyer polled for example. He registered some of his personal information some years ago when he bought insurance for his new car. Since then, every year he received dozens of calls from different companies trying to sell him insurances.With personal information leaked, your nightmare would start. You would be continuously bombarded by anonymous messages or phone calls via mobile phones and other communication channels for private tutoring, apartment sales, insurances…the list goes on.Worst still, if your confidential information was made known to criminals, you might have large purchases made on your credit card, funds withdrawn from your bank account, and even major loans taken out in your name.To protect your personal information, the best way is thinking before acting. For example, if yo u don‟t want your personal information out there, avoid filling out ballots for “free draws” or other promotions. These are ways to get your name, address and telephone number on a junk mail or telemarketing list.1. [D]2. [C]3. [B]4. [C]5. [D]6. [C]7.

M: Well, it‟s just that I can‟t stay here all my life, can I?W: No, of course you can‟t. Nobody ever suggested anything of the sort. When have I ever tried to keep you at home? Haven‟t I just said that you must lead your own life?Q: What does the woman mean?12. W: These books are three weeks overdue. How much is the fine for late returns?M: You are in luck. We‟re trying to encourage returns so there‟s no fine this week.Q: What does the man mean?13. W: I want to go to the concert tonight, but it starts at seven, and I have to work until six.M: I‟ve got an idea. I‟ll pick you up after work and we‟ll eat downtown. That‟ll give us plenty of time to get to the concert.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?14. W: Did you and Tommy go shopping this afternoon together?M: Yes, he seemed to have bought a store home, but all I got was a sore foot. I don‟t know, and perhaps it was not my day.Q: What does the man mean?15. W: Professor Smith caught some students cheating on the final exam and failed them right then and there.M: Serves them right. I don‟t sympathize with anyone trying to pass that way.Q: What does the man mean?16. W: Friday‟s speaker is supposed to be wonderful. Are you going to attend the semina r on that day?M: Yes, but I haven‟t been able to get the ticket yet. Since the lecture is open to the public, I imagine that the tickets may have already been sold out.Q: Why is the man afraid he won‟t be able to attend the seminar?17. M: This TV set is getting worse and worse. Now it doesn‟t work at all.W: Here‟s an advertisement on the newspaper about a big TV sale. Usually a big sale like this would have some good bargains. What would you say?Q: What does the woman suggest?18. W: Remember to bring everything with you: the pencil, ID card, everything. After the exam your father and I willtake you to the beach for relaxation.M: I know, as this is really an important physics examination for me.Q: What is the man going to do now?Now you will hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneW: Good evening and welcome to tonight‟s program. Our guest is the world-renowned Dr. Charles Adams, who has sparked a great deal of attention over the past several years for his research in the area of language learning. His new book, Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast, has been on the best seller list for the past six weeks.Welcome to our program.M: Ah, it‟s a pleasure to be here.W: Now, Dr. Adams, tell us about the title of your book, Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast.M: Well, one of the most important keys to learning another language is to establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time.W: So what are some of the basic keys you are suggesting in the book?M: Well, as I just mentioned, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning. And small steps, little by little, are the key.W: Now you mentioned something about maximizing your learning potential by learning about your own individual learning styles. Can you elaborate on that?M: Sure. People often have different ways of learning and approach learning tasks differently. Some people are visual learners who prefer to see models of the patterns they are expected to learn; others are auditory learners who favor hearing instructions, for example, over reading them.W: Well, Dr. Adams, what is your learning style?M: Well, I‟m a very tactile learner.W: You mean one who learns through hands-on experience?M: Exactly.W: Okay. We have just heard from Dr. Charles Adams, author of the book, Learning Languages over Eggs and Toast.Thanks for joining us.M: My pleasure.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?20. According to the man, what is the important point in learning a foreign language?21. What does the man suggest in his book?22. What do we learn at the end of the conversation?Conversation TwoM: Hurry up, Kate. We‟ll be late.W: I am hurrying. I can‟t move any faster.M: It‟s always the same. We can never get anywhere on time.W: Right! I‟m ready. Really, David, if you gave me some help around the house, we‟d never have to hurry like this. I can‟t do everything, you know.M: W ell, we‟d better be off. We‟re late already.W: Oh, no! It‟s absolutely pouring. We can‟t go out in that. We‟ll be soaked.M: Nonsense! Come on. It‟s only a shower. It won‟t last long.W: A shower? That! It‟s set in for the night. I‟m not going out in that.M: Well, you‟ve got your umbrella, haven‟t you? Use that. And anyway, it‟s only five minutes to the Johnsons‟house.W: It might just as well be five miles in that rain. And I haven‟t got my umbrella. I left it in the office.M: That wasn‟t very cleve r of you, was it?W: Well, we could use your umbrella, I suppose.M: We can‟t. I left it on the train six weeks ago.W: Oh, David. Really, you are impossible.M: Well, we can‟t stand here all night. We‟re late enough as it is. Let‟s go.W: I‟m not going out in that. And that‟s final.M: I‟d better ring for a taxi then.W: Yes. You‟d better, hadn‟t you?Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. Why does Kate refuse to leave the house then?24. What are Kate and David going to do?25. What happened to David’s umbrella?Section BPassage OneThere was a story many years ago of a school teacher — Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn‟t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother‟s perfume.Teddy said, “Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children. Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy‟s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M. D.The story doesn‟t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson‟s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn‟t know how to teach until I met you.”Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?27. What did Mrs. Thompson find out about Teddy?28. In what way did Mrs. Thompson change?29. Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?Passage TwoA study involving 8,500 teenagers from all social backgrounds found that most of them are ignorant when it comes to money. The findings, the first in a series of reports from NatWest that has started a five-year research project into teenagers and money, are particularly worrying as this generation of young people is likely to be burdened with greater debts than any before.University tuition fees are currently capped at 3,000 pounds annually, but this will be reviewed next year and the Government is under enormous pressure to raise the ceiling.In the research, the teenagers were presented with the terms of four different loans but 76 per cent failed to identify the cheapest. The young people also predicted that they would be earning on average 31,000 pounds by the age of 25, although the average salary for those aged 22 to 29 is just 17,800. The teenagers expected to be in debt when they finished university or training, although half said that they assumed the debts would be less than 10,000 pounds. Average debts for graduates are 12,363 poundsStephen Moir, head of community investment at the Royal Bank of Scotland Group which owns NatWest, said, “The more exposed young people are to financial issues, and the younger they become aware of them, the more likely they are to become responsible, forward-planning adults who manage their finances confidently and effectively.”Ministers are deeply concerned about the financial pressures on teenagers and young people because of student loans and rising housing costs. They have just introduced new lessons in how to manage debts. Nikki Fairweather, aged 15, from St. Helens, said that she had benefited from lessons on personal finance, but admitted that she still had a lot to learn about money.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. Which can be found from the five-year research project?31. What should students do according to Stephen Moir?32. What can we learn from the passage?Passage ThreeCelebrity has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don‟t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others‟ products to developing their own.Celebrity clothing lines aren‟t a completely new phenomeno n, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they‟re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world-top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.However, for every success story, there‟s a related warn ing tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product‟s origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty returning to tried-and-true labels.Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity‟s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego‟s potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved gr eat wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion-like celebrity — has always been temporary.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33. What do we know about fashion magazines today?34. What is a change in the consumer market that can be found today?35. What is the passage mainly about?Section CNinety percent of Americans know that most of their compatriots are overweight, but just 40 percent believe themselves to be too fat. Government statistics show that more than 60 percent of the U.S. population is overweight, and half is obese, meaning they are at serious risk of health effects from their weight. But the Pew Research Center telephone survey of more than 2,000 adults finds that many people overestimate how tall they are and underestimate how much they weigh — and thus do not rate themselves as overweight, even when they are. The survey finds that most Americans, including those who say they are overweight, agree that personal behavior — rather than genetic disposition or marketing by food companies — is the main reason people are overweight. In particular, the public says that a failure to get enough exercise is the most important reason, followed by a lack of willpower about what to eat. About half of the public also says that the kinds of foods marketed at restaurants and grocery stores are a very important cause, and roughly a third says the same about the effects of genetics and heredity. And at least some people appear to have given up on dieting to control their weight.One in four respondents in the survey say they are currently dieting, and 52 percent say they have dieted at some point in their lives. In a poll taken 15 years ago, the percentage of adults reported having ever dieted was slightly higher. Those surveyed agree that maintaining a healthy weight is important. Virtually everyone agrees that a person‟s weight has an impact on the chances for a long and healthy life.答案解析【作文范文】To Issue Consumption Coupons or Not?In the early 2009 when the world was fighting with financial crisis, the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou handed out coupons worth 100 to 200 Yuan to the city‟s low-income households and all the primary and middle school students. The move gained a positive response wh en people‟s spending surged.Following the positive example set by Hangzhou, many other cities in China are considering carrying out similar practices.However, people hold mixed views regarding whether the move should be promoted, especially nationwide. Firm supporters say that these coupons can help restore consumers‟ confidence, encourage them to spend more and stimulate the economy. But some other insiders are more cautious about the issuance of such coupons. They hold that coupons only have a one-off stimulus effect and should not be used as a long-term practice.My attitude towards the issue depends on to whom these coupons would be given. If the coupons were to be allocated to everyone regardless of their economic situations, I would disagree. But if local governments hand out coupons only to low-income families, as Hangzhou has experimented, I would agree.1. [B]2. [D]3. [C]4. [D]5. [C]6. [B]7.

W: Well, Jack, I would offer you another drink but I have guests coming and I haven‟t even begun to prepare thedinner. Thanks for stopping by.M: Thanks for the drink. It has been nice seeing you, too.Q: Why did the woman mention her dinner guests?12. W: This is the worst drought ever since the sixties.M: Yes. But it‟s just the opposite in the south. They have the severest flood for the past 30 years.Q: What do we know about the weather in the south?13. M: It says here the next train is due in at 7:50.W: I know, but I don‟t know whether I can make that one. I‟d rather call you from the station than have youwaiting around for an hour.Q: What does the woman mean?14. W: Hi, John, we have so many tests next week and the professor is still pressing us to hand in the term paperbefore Friday. Are you prepared for the tests?M: As far as preparation is concerned, there will never be an end to it.Q: What does the man imply?15. W: Could you spare me a few minutes to go over a letter I have just written? You see I‟ve never written a letter inEnglish before, so I‟ve probably made lots of mistakes.M: Okay. Please sit down. What‟s the letter for?Q: What does the woman want to do?16. W: Have yo u finished the assignment given by Professor Smith? I don‟t think you have much difficulty doingthat experiment.M: No, but I didn‟t expect it would take me most of the day.Q: What does the man mean?17. W: I‟m sorry, sir. But you‟re allowed only one piece of luggage on the plane. You‟ll have to check in one of yoursuitcases at the baggage counter.M: Actually, one of these belongs to the woman up ahead. I‟m just giving her a hand.Q: What does the man mean?18. W: I spent so much money on photocopying this afternoon in the library that I don‟t have enough money left fordinner. Can you lend me a few dollars?M: Sorry. I am short of money at the moment. I was hoping to borrow some money from you.W: Conversation OneW: Dr. Jones, how exactly would you define eccentricity?M: Well, we all have our own particular habits which others find irritating or amusing, but an eccentric is someone who behaves in a totally different manner from those in the society in which he lives.W: When you talk about eccentricity, are you referring mainly to matters of appearance?M: Not specifically, no. There are many other ways in which eccentricity is displayed. For instance, some individuals like to leave their marks on this earth with strange buildings. Others have the craziest desires which influence their whole way of life.W: Can you give me an example?M: Certainly. One that immediately springs to mind was a Victorian surgeon by the name of Buckland. Being a great animal lover he used to share his house openly with the strangest creatures, including snakes, bears, rats, monkeys and eagles.W: That must have been quite dangerous at times. Does one of these stand out in your mind at all?M: Yes, I suppose this century has produced one of the most famous ones: the American billionaire, Howard Hughes. W: But he wasn‟t a recluse all his life, was he?M: That‟s correct. In fact, he was just the opposite in his younger day s. He was a rich young man who loved the Hollywood society of his day. But he began to disappear for long periods when he grew tired of high living.Finally, nobody was allowed to touch his food and he would wrap his hand in a tissue before picking anything up.He didn‟t even allow a barber to go near him too often and his hair and beard grew down to his waist.W: Did he live completely alone?M: No, that was the strangest thing. He always stayed in luxury hotels with a group of servants to take care of him.He used to spend his days locked up in a penthouse suit watching adventure films over and over again and often eating nothing but ice cream and chocolate bars.W: It sounds a very sad story.M: It does. But, as you said earlier, life would be the same without characters like him, wouldn‟t it?Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What did the woman want to talk to Dr. Jones about?20. According to the conversation, what’s the meaning of eccentricity?21. Who is Howard Hughes?22. Which statement is true according to your comprehension of this conversation?Conversation TwoW: Now I‟ve got your background, let‟s talk about the management trainee scheme. What exactly do you think a manager does?M: I don‟t know a great deal about the work.W: But have you got any ideas about it? You must have thought about it.M: Well, er, I suppose he has a lot of, er, what is called, policy-making to do. And, um, he‟d have to know how to work with people and all about the company.W: Um.M: Yes, I, er, should think a manager must know, er, something about all aspects of the work.W: Yes, that‟s right. We like our executive staff to undergo a thorough training. Young men on our trainee scheme have to work through every branch in the company.M: Well, if I had to do it, I suppose. But I was thinking that my French and German would mean that I could specialize in overseas work. I‟d like to be some sort of an export salesman and travel abroad.W: You know the charm of traveling abroad disapp ears when you‟ve got to work hard. It‟s not all fun and game.M: Oh, yes, I realize that. It‟s just that my knowledge of languages would be useful.W: Now, Mr. Smith, is there anything you want to ask me?M: Well, there‟s one or two things. I‟d like to know if I‟d have to sign a contract, what the salary is and what the prospects are.W: With our scheme, Mr. Smith, there is no contract involved. Your progress is kept under constant review. If we, at any time, decide we don‟t like you, then that‟s that! We r eserve the right to dismiss you. Of course, you have the same choice about us. As for salary, you‟d be on our fixed scale starting at 870 pounds. For the successful trainee, the prospects are very good.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.23. How does Mr. Smith sound when asked what a manager’s role is?24. What does Mr. Smith say he would like to be?25. What can we learn about the management trainee scheme?Section BPassage OneZoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going well — she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work. “The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through,” she said. “After everything I‟d done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn‟t feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life.”Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay. Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in northwest Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.“The moment I arrived at Kathy‟s farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay,” said Zoe.“Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless.”Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets. “It‟s a hard life, physically very tiring,” she says. “In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted. But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy‟s wonderful dinners.”Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor. Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing —watching a lamb being born is unbelievable, she says, “It‟s one of the most moving experiences I‟ve ever had. I could never go back to city life now.”Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. How did Zoe find her life in London when working as a PR consultant?27. What is the most important reason Zoe we nt to visit Kathy’s farm?28. How does Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage?29. What is the main idea of the passage?。

长喜英语 专四阅读周计划 第三周星期四后快乐周末
长喜英语专四阅读周计划第三周星期四后快乐周末学英语找长喜第三周欢乐周末欢乐周末阅读点津5大题型解题妙招一、事实细节题因此类题都是针对原文某一详细信息出题,解答此类题时,考生需要先抓住问题中的关键词,然后快速回到文章中找到这一细节。
在认真阅读过细节所在句子的前后几句后,再核对、分析、推断所给选项,得出正确答案。
1.在原文细节处消失一些关键词,如however,but,moreover,therefore,thus时,要特殊留意句子前后意义的转折、递进、因果等关系。
2.细节题的答案一般是同义替换项或者同义转换项,少数状况下可在原文直接摄取答案。
3.选项与原句内容相像,但其中含有肯定语气词的一般不是答案。
这些语气词有:must,never,the most,all,merely,only,have to,any,no,completely,none,hardly等。
选项中含不非常确定的语气词的一般是答案,这些词有:could,may,often,should,usually,might,most,more or less,likely,possible等。
4.若题干中含有Not或Except等词,通常可采纳排解法进行解答。
首先要抓住题干关键词,回到原文中查找相关信息,一一排解原文提到的选项。
在专四的阅读中,该类题与原文相符的三个选项通常不会集中在一处,而是分散在相邻的几段中,所以需要特殊留意。
二、推理推断题推理推断题主要测试考生对没有直接说出来的隐含内容能否正确理解并得出正确结论,或对前面已叙述的内容或下文将要叙述的内容进行正确的推理。
考生需依据内容、规律关系,有理有据地推断出正确答案。
1.精确定位考查点。
此种题有两种考法:一是通过题干关键词直接告知考生信息定位点;另一种是与要考生依据答案中提到的细节到原文中去查找相关信息。
2.合乎常理、意义深刻的一般是答案;而措辞过于肯定的,一般不是答案。
3.对原文内容进行复述或同义转述的不是答案。
王长喜老师 专八听力周计划 第二周(听力会话)星期二
星期2 Tuesday 6大设题点一、会话开头会话的开头部分一般都会引出会话的主题,比较容易设主旨题或细节题,主要考查对会话主题或所涉及场景的把握。
二、会话结尾会话结尾往往会涉及会话双方的态度、建议或决定等总结性的内容,而且经常能够进一步体现会话的主题及场景,也是出题者设题时考虑的重点。
【例2】(05-5)三、会话中的逻辑关系处会话中经常会涉及到表示并列、转折、因果等逻辑关系的短语或句式,因果、转折等逻辑关系处,这些地方也很受出题人的青睐。
【例3】(08-1)四、会话中举例或列举处会话中常出现举列或列举的地方也常常是设题的重点,尤其是涉及列举的地方往往是Except ,Incorrect 题型的设题热点,因此听音时听到such as, two, three ,the first, the second, for example 等信息词时,应多加留意。
【例4】(05-3)五、会话中的比较对比处会话中比较对比处涉及到的是两事物或多事物,客观上能够引起考生的思维混乱,所以容易成为考试的设题点。
【例5】(10-4)六、会话中数字信息处会话中出现年代、时间、价格等数字信息的地方,也经常被作为设题的一个重点,但要注意,一般都是考查与数字相关的其他细节信息,而单纯考查数字的题目并不常见。

Joining us today is the creator of that cartoon strip, Lynn Johnston. Lynn, how did you begin writing cartoons?W: Um, I think out of frustration and, um, just a need to be silly when I was really young. In fact, I found cartoons that my mother had kept from elementary school, ah, doing, ah, almost political gags about the, ah, about the Board of Education in Vancouver.M: Well, why did you choose the family as a focus?W: [1.C]Because it’s something I’m familiar with, and something that probably launches me into more fits of rage, depression, anxiety, joy, and love. All the, the gamut of emotions is there, and some people feel all those things for their job…M: There aren’t many woman cartoonists out there, Lynn. Was it hard for you to break into the business?W: No, not at all. It isn’t hard for you to break into the business if you have specific things that they’re looking for, you know, and it doesn’t matter what gender you are now. I mean, at one time maybe, women had trouble breaking in. I don’t know. I’m… I’ve just been here for the last ten years or so but, em, no, no, I had no problem and the welcome was wonderful…M: Well, that’s great. Now the cartoons you do, are they based on people in your own family?How do they feel about it?W: To begin with, they were based on my family, because I could always draw my family, and, and, I didn’t, ah, apply for this job. It was offered to me, which was amazing. I did some books on pregnancy when I was expecting my son and when he was very small, and ah, the books, ah, three small books ended up at the syndicate, and they wrote to me and asked me if I was interested in trying to do a daily comic strip, and, ah, gosh, I, I just never thought that I had that sort of resource. [2.D]I, I wasn’t thrilled at all. When I signed the contract, they all wanted to go and have dinner, and I went back to the hotel and was sick. I just really never thought that I could do it, and I chose the family because that’s what I knew the best and I could draw my family over and over again. But over the years, the characters have taken on their own, ah, specific, ah, identities and they might have the body language or speech patterns of my own family but the stories are fabricated, the situations are fabricated.M: Do you think that teenagers today have different problems and concerns from your teenage days?W: I think the problems and concerns are the same. I think they’re launched into adulthood much more quickly. I think the kids today are far ahead of us. But, and, and, I, I think that most of the things they’re facing are the same things that we faced. My daughter is fifteen. [3]She worries about her, her hair and her skin and her clothing and her marks and her friendships just as much as I did.M: What are the concerns of people caught in the middle, dealing with both bringing up their children and coping with their aging parents?W: Em,[4.B] I think that there’s guilt on both sides. Especially at, at the stage that, that you’re in at that point when your parents are, are in their seventies and your children are in their late teens —em, you’re, dealing with, with, too, you’re dealing with children who are becomingadults and with parents who are becoming children, and you’re in this state of constant, em, flux. [4.A]You don’t know where you’re going to go or where you’re going to turn, and, you know, you suddenly become the stable, ah, solid rock of the family, and I, I can’t imagine anybody who would ever consider themselves the stable solid rock. We all need a parent or someone we imagine to be more mature or more, uh, knowledgeable than we are. It’s a very difficult time. And, and both of my parents passed away recently, and dealing with all of that was very, very difficult. And I, I think the word “guilt”, you know, comes, comes forward more than anything. You don’t want to put your parents in a nursing home and, [4.C]and at the same time you’re, you’re, arguing with your children about how much freedom to give them, so you’re, you’re, letting go of your children and yet you’re suddenly organizing your parents as if they were children. It was, it was, a very, very tough time.M: I can imagine. Lynn, do your cartoons appear in other countries besides Canada?W: Yeah, em, it’s in quite a few other countries. It’s in, em, oh it’s in Japan and Britain and Australia and Sweden and Germany and Denmark and Italy…M: Fantastic.W: …and Spain and, and Mexico. It’s, it’s really, it’s translated into quite a number of different languages.M: What do you think is the most difficult thing about writing cartoons for a daily newspaper? W: Em,[5.A] I think probably the translation, because I use a lot of colloquial expressions, like "paying through the nose". We know what that means in English, but how does it translate into Japanese? And so the translators really have a, a challenging job, to try and make the comic strip make sense and still have a punch line of some sort. And I know they hire very talented cartoonists and comedy writers in other countries to do this. But, you know, I don't know, I can't speak Danish so I don't know how to translate it into Danish. But I've met the translator and he assures me it's great.M: Well, Lynn. You're doing a remarkable job and your cartoon strip is enjoyed by millions.Thank you very, very much for spending some time with us today.W: Oh, you're very welcome. Thank you for calling.【听力原文】M: Good afternoon, Wynet.W: Good afternoon.M: I understand that you’ve learned at least one other language, ah, is that right?W: That’s true. I’ve learnt two, French and Mandarin Chinese.M: OK, and, ah, how did you learn Mandarin?W: [1.D]I learned Mandarin while I was in the People’s Republic of China. I was there last year teaching English.M: And what made you decide to learn Mandarin while you were in China? Did you have to…W: No, but I wanted to be able to communicate with the people in their own language.M: OK, and how exactly did you go about learning Mandarin?W: [2.A]I began to pick words up from some of my students or while I was out in the market doing shopping, trying to do shopping, [2.B]but then I began to attend a class that was intensive four hours a day to pick up the basics of Chinese which is quite a difficult language. M: And how long did this class go on?W: I attended it for about a month.M: And then what happened?W: Then I learnt most of my Chinese from students who would take me to the market and they would teach me words in Chinese and I would reciprocate by teaching them the English word.[2.D]And I also had a tutor who would teach me about twice a week.M: OK. So you felt the need for some additional, ah, classes?W: Yes.M: OK. What would you say was the most difficult thing about learning Mandarin Chinese?W: For me it was the tones.M: The tones, why was that?W: I don’t have a very good ear for, for tones so it was. I always had to work at getting the right, the right pitch.M: Yes.W: And, which is quite important because you have one pronunciation of a word depending on the tone,otherwise it will be something completely different. It may have four meanings so it’s quite important to get the correct pronunci…or the correct tone.M: And I suppose the grammar and the vocabulary must be very, very different from English. W: Quite different. But actually the grammar is quite simple. You don’t have to worry about different, ah, verb, verb tenses…M: Oh, great.W: So to me that was a welcome relief from French.M: But the vocabulary, a lot of memory work I imagine.W: A lot. Especially if you want to learn the written language.M: [3.D]Was there anything, ah, easy about the, ah, the experience of learning Mandarin Chinese?W: Definitely. Living in the country I was able to take what I was learning in the classroom or from my tutor and go immediately into a situation where I was able to apply it.M: Oh, alright.W: Going to a market to buy my food, to a store to buy some clothes, to buy a train ticket, to go ona journey.M: So you were very motivated then.W: Definitely. Because there were many people who don’t speak English and so it cuts you off from so much of the population and so many things.M: So, I guess it’s pretty clear that you liked the experience.W: Oh, I enjoyed it very much. I would love to do it again.M: [4.A]What did you like most about it? Can you remember?W: I think the time I spent with my students.M: Alright.W: [4.D]And being able to go somewhere and understand what was going on and having somebody to help me. [4.C]Just being able to go into a restaurant and order my own meal. M: [4.B]I suppose you really have a lot better idea about Chinese culture because you’ve learned the language.W: I think so. It…I would be able to communicate with people other than ones who were just in school, in university so it enlarged the number of people and from what backgrounds I could talk to.M: Umm, since you’re learned two languages, one of them a language very different from you mother tongue, would you have any kind of advice to give to someone learning a new language?W: Well, depending on the situation you’re in. I think it’s always helpful to, to keep maybe a diary of what you’re learning so that or some sort of phrase book. For me that was very helpful. M: Alright.W: Umm. [5.D]Also, having learnt two languages, the thing…to me is most important is just being able to get over that, umm, worry of being laughed at.M: Alright.W: [5.D]At saying the thing, the wrong thing. Saying it in the wrong tone for Chinese.M: How, how did you get over that?W: I found people there so enthusiastic that I would be able to even say hello…M: Yes.W: …[5.D]that I wasn’t worried about making a mistake. And I found people so helpful, that they would correct me and so for me that was the most im…the hardest thing to do in earning a language, was just getting beyond that point.M: Alright and how fluent were you by the time you left China?W: Well, I couldn’t have a philosophical discussion, but I was able to go to a restaurant, buy clothes, buy a train ticket, have a basic conversation with people.M: OK. Well. Look, Wynet, thanks a lot for coming and taking with us today. It’s been really interesting.W: It’s been fun, thank you.M: Bye-bye.【答案解析】。

英语专业四级听力周计划第4版听力
英语专业四级听力周计划第4版听力The Importance of Listening Skills in English Proficiency。
In the field of English language learning, listening skills play a crucial role in achieving proficiency. As the fourth edition of the English Proficiency Listening Plan for the College English Test Band 4 (CET-4) suggests, a well-structured listening plan is essential for students to improve their listening abilities. This article aims to explore the significance of listening skills in English proficiency and provide a comprehensive guide to the CET-4 listening plan.Listening skills are fundamental in language acquisition as they enable learners to comprehend spoken language accurately. Effective listening skills allow students to understand the meaning, context, and nuances of spoken English, which in turn enhances their overall language proficiency. Moreover, listening skills are closely linked to other language skills such as speaking, reading, and writing. By developing strong listening skills, students can improve their pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, thereby facilitating effective communication in English.The CET-4 listening plan comprises various components that cater to different aspects of listening skills. These components include extensive listening, intensive listening, note-taking, and summarizing. Extensive listening involves exposing students to a wide range of authentic English materials, such as podcasts, TED talks, and news broadcasts. This helps students develop their overall listening comprehension and familiarize themselves with different accents and speech patterns.Intensive listening, on the other hand, focuses on specific language features and structures. Students engage in activities like listening to dialogues, interviews, and lectures, and then analyze the content to improve their understanding of grammar, vocabulary, and idiomatic expressions. This component allows students to develop a deeper understanding of the language and enhances their ability to extract information from spoken English.Note-taking is a crucial skill in listening comprehension, and the CET-4 listening plan emphasizes its importance. Students are encouraged to take notes while listening to lectures or presentations, enabling them to capture key points, important details, and supporting examples. This practice not only improves their listening skills but also enhances their overall academic performance.Summarizing is another essential component of the listening plan. After listening to a passage or a conversation, students are required to summarize the main ideas, key details, and supporting examples. This activity helps students develop their critical thinking skills, as they need to analyze and synthesize the information they have heard. Summarizing also improves students' ability to organize their thoughts and express themselves effectively in both spoken and written English.To make the most of the CET-4 listening plan, students should adopt effective learning strategies. Regular practice is crucial, as it helps students become familiar with different listening tasks and develop their overall listening skills. Additionally, students should actively engage in self-assessment and reflection, identifying their strengths and weaknesses in listening comprehension. This self-awareness allows students to focus on areas that need improvement and tailor their learning strategies accordingly.In conclusion, listening skills are of utmost importance in achieving English proficiency. The CET-4 listening plan provides a comprehensive framework for students to enhance their listening abilities. By incorporating extensive listening, intensive listening, note-taking, and summarizing, students can develop a well-rounded set of listening skills that will not only improve their overall language proficiency but also facilitate effective communication in English. With regular practice and effective learning strategies, students can excel in the listening component of the CET-4 examination and become proficient English language learners.。

Hello, Ricky.M: Hello. [1.A]Yes I looked at the provision of training by employers in this country, and found that most have a 'winner-takes-all' approach to training. Despite low-levels of basic skills, companies spend most of their training budgets on their most qualified employees, particularly managers. This simply doesn't result in the quality we need.W: But does this really matter?M: Yes, because even though there have been enormous efforts to make training available to everyone, the under-development of the workforce in this country is a major factor in our poor productivity. It's also true that the time people spend being trained is below the average of the world's industrialized economies.W: [2.A]Training is particularly bad in the fast-food industry, isn't it?M: Well, [2.B]the industry certainly has the image of offering low-paid, low-prestige jobs with no future prospects. And there are jobs that don't demand a great deal of skill, for instance using the latest technology for cooking. [2.A][2.B]But in fact, that image isn't entirely accurate.Not only are pay and conditions improving, but [2.D]some fast-food chains are better than many other service sector employers at combining commercial success with the development of its workforce.W: Can you give us an example?M: Well, the Burger House chain gives its staff the chance to take courses in all sorts of things, not just those needed for cooking or serving. When the annual training programme is circulated, staff plan with their managers which courses to attend. They encourage people to spend as much time being trained as they think they can benefit from. In the long term, the company gains financially, because it creates a source of potential managers.W: But still, working in a fast food establishment is much worse than in an expensive restaurant, isn't it?M: [3.A]In both cases, the work can resemble a production line, [3.B]with the pressure limiting the chances of job satisfaction. [3.D]But, expensive restaurants depend on the reputation of one or two individuals; the rest have little chance to move from low to high-skilled work. In some fast-food chains, almost half the managers have worked their way up from the kitchens.And while the type of service varies, I've seen good and bad quality in expensive restaurants and fast-food places, and that depends on training.W: Where will the pressure for improved training come from?M: In fact, it's internal. [4.A][4.B]Although customers are affected by the end result of training, they also tend to be sensitive to prices. So, [4.C]in fact, it's mostly people who have already worked their way up to managerial levels who want to help others in the same way.[4.D]Another advantage of course, is that training attracts job applicants, which makesrecruitment easier.W: What recommendations did you make in your report?M: [5.A]My main one is that the government should support training by letting companies claim tax relief. Many companies already get this for certain types of training, but the proposal would particularly help unskilled workers aiming at intermediate qualifications. [5.B]The government should also work with the sector skills council to improve training and working conditions in those industries where it's necessary.W: Do you think the government will act on your proposals?M: Well, [5.D]I want to reintroduce the idea of people getting grants, so that they can choose training for themselves, but there were problems with this a few years ago, so the political will probably isn't there to try it again. [5.C]I'm confident we'll see a review of all the vocational qualifications, though, which would remove some of the inconsistencies that are there now.And to be honest, my idea for all workers to spend a minimum time on training is unlikely to be introduced just yet.W: Ricky Bland, thank you.M: Thank you.【答案解析】 11。
