Dictation 1 Superstition 迷信One person in four in Britain is, apparently, superstitious,and they'll do everything from hanging horseshoes over their fireplace to crossing their fingers,touching wood and absolutely never walking under a ladder.And they're careful about cats.Black cats are supposed to be the familiars of witches,so if one is following you it's definitely bad luck- a witch is after you!On the other hand, if one crosses your path and continues then it's good luck because it hasn't noticed you.However, in some places the beliefs are different- so it pays to know where your black cat comes from!Old superstitions linger even in today's modern world.The author Philip Pullman drew on them in his award winning novel "His Dark Materials".The novel, which appeals to both children and adults,has been adapted for radio and also the theatre.Dictation 2 Graduate Student 研究生Graduate students specialize in a particular field of study.They study to become experts in this field and to learn new advances in their fields while they earn an M.A. or Ph.D.Sometimes when they get an M. A. in one field they begin studying another field.They hope that when they earn their graduate degrees they will succeed in finding important jobs.They hope to get jobs that are interesting and high paying.The life of a graduate student is often difficult.They are usually too busy studying to make a good living.Often they have to pay high tuition fees for their education.Some give up studying before they get their degrees.But most keep on working at their studies until they graduate.In today's world, most graduate students don't regret spending time with their studies.They are finding that new developments are occurring in all fields.For many graduate study has become a necessity.Dictation 3 April Fool's Day 愚人节1st April is a day to be careful,or you could easily get tricked by someone.It's April Fool's Day,a day when people traditionally like to try to make a fool of someone else and laugh at them.There are lots of theories surrounding the origins of the day,but one explanation is connected with the change in the calendar in the 16th century,which meant that 1st April was no longer the beginning of the year.Those who still celebrated the New Year on 1st April were called fools.So what kind of pranks do people play on April Fool's Day?Well, there are lots of simple tricks that you can play on your friends.For example, you could wear a black sweater and pull a piece of white thread through it,so that people try to pull it off.You could change the time on someone's alarm clock so that they're late for work.Dictation 4 Living Online 网上生活How do you meet new people, make new friends,or find out about the latest bands?Here in the UK young people have traditionally done their socializing in bars, pubs and clubs.However, there is a new generation growing up that finds it easier to manage their social lives on the net,using free websites like MySpace, Bebo or MSN Spaces.Welcome to the social networking website- a place where you can present yourself to the digital community and meet other like-minded people.The most successful social networking website in the UK is .As of July 2006, MySpace is the world's fourth most popular English-language website,attracting almost 3 millionvisitors per month.MySpace claims to have 95 million members with 500,000 new members joining the community each week.So how has it become so successful?Perhaps its secret is in its simplicity.Each new member can build their own page simply- uploading photos, videos and MP3 files.Dictation 5 Mother's Day 母亲节Does your mother know how much you appreciate her?Well, Mother's Day is the time to show her.It's a chance to say 'thank you',or to tell your mum how much you love her.In Britain, Mother's Day, or Mothering Sunday,falls on a different day each year,because it takes place a few weeks before the festival of Easter.But it is always in the early springtime,which seems appropriate,as the season when new plants emerge,and baby birds and animals are born.In the USA, Mother's Day takes place a little later, in May,and many other countries also celebrate their mothers on different days of the year.It began many years ago, when children,especially girls, as young as 10 would live and work away from home as housemaids and other types of servant.Mothering Sunday was a day when everyone was allowed to go to their home village or town, and visit their mothers.Dictation 6 Online Shopping 网上购物With only two weeks to go before Christmas,buying presents is a high priority for a lot of people.However, this year not so many people are leaving their homesto browse around the shops.These days lots of people can do their shopping in the comfort of their own home with the help of the internet.Online shopping is becoming more and more popular for a number of reasons;prices are often lower online,you don't have to queue up in busy shops and you can buy almost any product imaginable with just a few clicks of your puter trends are often male-dominated but this year women are expected to do more shopping on the internet than men.It seems women are now more attracted to the convenience of online shopping than they used to be.Average spending online this Christmas by women will rise to 240 pounds compared to the slightly lower average of 233 pounds for men.Dictation 7 Reality TV 真实电视The latest fashion on British TV is Reality TV.Reality TV means that shows follow and film ordinary people in an artificial situation.This could be at work, or in some kind of competition.One of the first and most popular Reality TV shows is Big Brother.In this show, 15 complete strangers have to live together in a house for 11 weeks.They are filmed 24 hours a day, and shown on television.Each week, the viewers vote to evict one of the housemates.Finally, only one is left,and they win the prize money! The show was an instant hit,and runs in several countries.The housemates often become stars as a result of the show,and appear in national newspapers and on other shows.Another very popular show is I'm a Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here!In this show, 10 celebrities have to complete tasks each week,such as eating insects.Dictation 8 School 学校September is traditionally the end of summer and the beginning of autumn in the UK.It is also the month when children go back to school after their long summerholidays.There are two types of school in England.State-run schools are paid for by the government,so are free to attend.Independent Schools are private,which means you have to pay to attend.The school day usually starts at 9 in the morning and finishes around 4,with breaks for lunch of course!In many schools, you have to wear a uniform too.Children start school when they are 5 years old.This is called primary school,and lasts until the child is 11 when he or she will go on to senior school.Secondary school is compulsory from 11 until 16 years of age.At 16, students take national examinations called GCSE's.After this, students can stay at school for another 2 years and take A Level examinations.Dictation 9 The Modern Family 现代家庭Father leaves for work in the morning after breakfast.The two children take the bus to school,and mother stays home cooking and cleaning until father and the kids return home in the evening.This is the traditional picture of a happy family living in Britain.The past 20 years have seen enormous changes in the lives and structure of families in Britain.The biggest change has been caused by divorce.As many as 2 out of 3 marriages now end in divorce,leading to a situation where many children live with one parent and only see the other at weekends or holidays.There has also been a huge rise in the number of women with children who work.The large rise in divorces has meant many women need to work to support themselves and their children.Even when there is no divorce,many families need both parents to work in order to survive.Dictation 10 Mid-Autumn Festival 中秋节On 25th September this year, people all over China will be getting together to eat with their families,look at the moon and celebrate one of the biggest festivalsin the Chinese lunar calendar.However, the celebrations stretch far beyond the borders of China.Here in the UK events are taking place for Chinese people living here,and to teach the people of Britain more about this popular festival.The Soho Theatre in London conducted a study which showed that Chinese Londoners don't engage much with the arts world.As a result, 'Moon walking In China has been created to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.This is no normal theatre production though,as it doesn't take place in the theatre.Theatre professionals and volunteers from the local community will take audiences around the streets of Soho on a magical lantern-lit walk through the landmarks and backstreets of Chinatown.Dictation 11 The Dragon 龙When many people in the west think of China,the animal that they think of is the dragon.For them, the dragon is an aggressive monster that breathes fire.Many popular legends tell of how dragons killed brave knights and ate beautiful maidens.For Chinese people however,the dragon is not an evil monster.It's a cultural and spiritual symbolfor prosperity and good luck.The dragon's main task is to create harmony and bring rain.Dragons are celebrated in art and architecture,and of course the dragon dance is a very popular lions of Chinese have the word 'long',meaning dragon, as part of their name.China isn't the only country to have the dragon as its symbol. Wales, one of the four countries in the UK,has a red dragon proudly displayed on itsflag.The only other country in the world with a dragon on its flag is Bhutan,the tiny country between China and India.Dictation 12 Rainy Britain 阴雨的英国Britain is famous around the world for its rainy weather,but many parts of the country this June are experiencing much more rain than they have ever seen before.Torrential downpours have caused rivers to burst their banks,roads have been closed and many people have been evacuated from their homes because of the floods.The worst hit area seems to be the north of England.There have even been fatalities as people got stuck in the rain or were washed away by the floodwaters.Flood warnings have been issued in many parts of the UK and it is said that over a month's worth of rain has fallen in just the last couple of days.The rain has also caused chaosat some of Britain's famous June events.The Glastonbury festival is a four-day-long outdoor music festival and while it is traditionally quite rainy and muddy there,this year was particularly bad.Dictation 13 Christmas traditions 圣诞节传统There are many ways to celebrate Christmas,and some British people like to go on holiday,go out for lunch to a restaurant,or spend the day with friends.But most people's idea of a traditional Christmas involves spending a few days with their family- sometimes their extended family.The day is the most exciting for the children. They may have spent weeks or even months dreaming of the presents they want most. Since the beginning of December,they may have opened their advent calendars,finding a new festive picture, chocolate, or small gift,to count down each day until 25th December.On Christmas Eve, they hang up stockings,ready to be filled with presents by Santa Claus.Often a thank you gift of a mince pie and a glass of sherry will be left,as well as a carrot for those hungry reindeer.Dictation 14 Olympic Slogan 奥运口号Beijing unveiled the slogan for the 2008 Olympics "One World, One Dream" was finally selected from more than 210,000 entries from around the world.Beijing's original bid to host the 2008 games had a different slogan "New Beijing, Great Olympics".The organizers felt the new slogan shifted the focus nicely from the city of Beijing itself to the spirit of the Olympics- unity, friendship amongst nations and progress.It was also felt that the "One World, One Dream" slogan captured the traditional Chinese values of peace and harmony.The Olympics hasn't always had a slogan attached to each host country.In fact it wasn't until 1988 at the Seoul Olympics in South Korea that the first slogan appeared."Harmony and Progress" was chosen and it seems to have been a popular theme over the years.Dictation 15 Sunbed 太阳床In the UK, a country known for its bad weather and lack of sunshine,there appears to be an ever increasing number of very tanned young people.So just how are they achieving their golden tans?Some are opting for the sun-free option and are getting their tan from a bottle.However, it appears that others are turning to tanning salons, of which there are thousands in the UK.While in China young people often prefer to remain fair,in the UK there seems to be a growing desire for tanned skin.So why dothe British prefer to be bronzed?Often, they are trying to emulate their favorite celebrities,footballers, or footballers' wives.Research from the British Sunbed Association suggests that many people believe a tan makes them feel and look healthier.This is a belief that is most definitely not shared by Cancer Research UK.They firmly state that being tanned is not a sign of health.Dictation 16 Speechwriting 写演讲稿The success of a speech is often attributed to the skill of the speaker,with merit being given to speakers who are confident, articulate,But often it is not the speakers who write these moving speeches,it is a speechwriter.And one industry in which this practice is common is that of politics. Well according to a recent job advertisement from the US Embassy in Britain,a political speechwriter needs to have exceptional interpersonal skills, be detail oriented and able to demonstrate a deep knowledge of their subject.They must also work closely with speakers and be able to relate to their style.Some believe that the best speechwriters have an inherent talent,a natural creative instinct,and that speechwriting is an art form.Dictation 17 A Walk in the Park 在公园散步Exercising in natural areas is not only good for your physical health-it can improve your mood and sense of well-being in as little as five minutes. Environmental Health and Technology.Exercise alone is known to make you happier.So is being in a natural setting.So scientists wanted to see the effect of combining the two.They evaluated 10 different UK studies involving more than 1,200 people.Participants had taken part in activities such as gardening,sailing and country walks, and rated their mood and self-esteem.The research showed that both areas get a significant boost with as little as five minutes of outdoor exercise.And people with mental disorders benefited the most.The study authors say this is the first study to quantify the amount of time needed to get a positive effect.Dictation 18 Fast food Makes Us Less Patient 快餐使我们失去耐性Fast food is a multibillion-dollar industry,and for some of us, drive-through dinner has become a way of life.Granted, sometimes we grab something quick because we really don't have time.But psychologists got to wondering whether all this speed eating might actually make us less patient.In a series of experiments,the scientists showed volunteers logos from several fast-food chains or asked them to recall the last time they'd visited.And they found that folks who had thought about fast food would then read faster,even though no one told them to hurry.And they also expressed a preference for time-saving products,like shampoo plus conditioner.And they tended to opt for immediate rewards,like getting a small cash payment right away rather than waiting a week for a larger sum.So if you want to ease the pace,forget meditation. Try a slow cooker.Dictation 19 Light All Night Not Alright 整夜开灯并非好事A nightlight may keep those monsters under the bed.But it may also open the door to the blues.If you have access to electricity,you no doubt switch on a lamp,maybe even watch a little TV,after the sun goes down.But our bodies use cues about lightness and dark to regulate our hormones and of course our sleep cycles.So what might these extra photons be doing to our health?To find out, scientists housed micein a room where the lights were always on.After three weeks,they found that mice who lived in the spotlight showed symptoms of depression,more so than mice who enjoyed eight hours of darkness at night.Interestingly, mice who could escape the light by ducking into a dark tube also escaped the worst of the depression.So flip that light switch at your own risk.Because the artificial brightness that helps keep us up could also bring us down.Dictation 20 London 2012 Olympic Games 伦敦2012奥运会After a hard-fought campaign,London has been awarded the right to host the 2012 Olympic Games.The UK capital saw off competition from four rival cities:Paris, Madrid, Moscow and New York.Londoners can now look forward to the transformation of their city in the same way as their counterparts in Beijing.Indeed, there are many similarities in the two cities approach to hosting the games.Both cities need to invest in developing their infrastructure in order to cope with the demands of the event.However, this kind of investment is far from cheap- it is estimated that it will cost around $40 billion to prepare for the 2008 games,much of which will be spent on transport links.Nevertheless, the benefits of becoming an Olympic city can be enormous- Barcelona, which hosted the 1992 games,was completely regenerated and has since become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.Dictation 21 Picnic 野餐As summertime begins in Britain,people start to feel the urge to go outside to eat.People love to have a picnic whenever the weather is good enough,especially people with children.It's a great way to spend a sunny afternoon.Even in the centre of London, on a sunny day,the parks are full of office worker seating their lunch outside on the grass.That might be a pretty basic picnic- a shop-bought sandwich and a bottle of water.But if people are planning a picnic on the beach or at the park,they would probably pack a cool bag with a whole variety of home-made sandwiches,snacks, cake, fruit and soft drinks.They might have a picnic rug to sit on,and paper plates and cups.University students enjoy having picnics,and usually take along some kind of sports equipment,such as a ball in order to burn off some energy after lunch.Dictation 23 The Compass 指南针A magnetic compass is a device that has been used for centuries now,and its utility in helping people find their way is undoubted.Before technology gave us the privilege of GPS navigation systems,the act of finding out where you are and which side is northwas carried out simply with the help of a compass.We've all seen a compass at some point or the other,and this has almost always led us to the question"How does a compass work?"The answer to this question can be explained through the concept of the earth's electromagnetism.Simply speaking, a compass is basically a small magnet that has a needle attached on one end.The other end of the magnet is attached to a freely moving pin.When the compass is held out steadily,the magnet becomes parallel with the magnetic field of the Earth,and this causes it to point north.Dictation 24 Ball Games 球类运动Ball games have become an integral part of modern society.They give usentertainment providing us a means to safely free ourselves from stress.There are many different ball games that can do this for us.Some people enjoy football, while others like basketball.These two ball games are the most popular in China.Other games such as baseball are growing in appeal,yet have not become popular.The development of these games is interesting.Basketball is one of the few sports with a known date of birth.Football, or soccer, originally developed from traits found in both China and Europe.It has grown to become the world's most popular sport.In Europe, football clubs have been established,which in turn has been copied in the rest of the world.These football clubs train players who may later go to play for their nations in the World Cup.This is the most watched ballgame championship on the planet.Dictation 25 Water Sports 水上运动The history of man's involvement with water sports stretches back before history was written down.It is a history of the development of technology as well as human physical achievement.Man first took to water in boats that sailed around the world with nothing but the stars to guide them.The seas and rivers were a mystery to be feared,for lurked unknown creatures and death by drowning.Few actually ventured into the water.As a sport, however, water sports such as swimming, diving,and water polo are new comparatively to those on land.Probably the oldest one is rowing in a rowboat.This is seen in modern games such as competitions between rowing clubs in British and American universities.Olympic Water Sports began with swimming but did not end there.The different kinds of water sports such as diving or water skiing came later.Dictation 26 Famous Universities 名校Many countries have excellent universities.There are, however, few world famous ones.These universities have achieved their fame through a combination of both their age and the high levels of quality in their instruction.Throughout their histories,each one has been a testing ground for the leadership of the nation.In the United States, Harvard and Yale attract thousands of foreign students who would use what they learn for the advancement of their own nations.In this way, these schools have developed an interesting method of international communication.Graduates around the world are able to connect with each other by having graduated from one of the finest universities in the world.Leaders in every field, whether government officials or ground-breaking scientists,who graduated from the same school have a direct link to each other and understand each other much better.Dictation 27 Ideal Life 理想人生The ideal life is one that many people would like to pursue,yet few achieve.The balance between dreams and reality is one that is difficult to overcome.Many people choose a vocation in the hopes that it would bring them wealth and success.However, after years of labor in their chosen field,they begin to hate their jobs.This is mainly because they have neglected other parts of their lives in search of this success.These people devote their lives to working and are unable to separate themselves from their work.They find that it may not be enough.Some have jobs where their principles and emotional health are challenged by dishonesty or bad work environments.Thesepeople can begin to become influenced by the environment in which they work,leading to personal or health problems.This choice is not a permanent situation, however,as many people have chosen to change the values of their lives.Dictation 28 Reeducation and Employment 再教育和就业During the course of our lives,we must make many choices that we may come to regret.This is especially true when choosing a career.Jobs that sound exciting or rewarding become dull or not worth it as we live our daily existence.This is where reeducation can help.Occupational schools have been set up to train people in jobs that they may be better suited for.People can adapt their interests and talents through selected courses. They can learn cooking skills, which are always in great demand. Gardening is an option for those who enjoy the outdoorsor have a green thumb. If a person is interested in motors or cars, they can get training as a mechanic. Even more, the learning of a foreign language would allow them the opening of a dream life.The job qualification certificates they earn can also be used too enhance their resumes,so that they are trained in a variety of skills.Dictation 29 Made in China 中国制造The label, Made in China,is one that is becoming increasing common in shopping centers all over the world.In the United States,shoppers at Wal-Mart the nation's largest retailer have a wide selection of products mostly produced in China.The large amount of Chinese imports have created a large selection of goods in other countries as people begin to buy more and more products made in China.These goods are even readily available in other Asian nations,where Chinese-made goods are quite popular.Chinese brand names are also becoming more well-known outside of China.The development of China has amazed the world with its growth.And also, as China is a developing economy with large amounts of labor,industries are beginning to relocatein an effort to minimize costs and increase profits.The results of these relocations are that nations are beginning to try to limit the flow of Chinese goods with the use of taxes and import restrictions.Dictation 30 Glaciers 冰川Glaciers are formed in places where the temperatures are extremely cold.This could even include places that are at sea level,but are mostly places that are high up on mountains.In such cold places it snows most of the year.This snow will settle down and when it snows again the lower layer of snow gets compressed.Every time it snows,the below layers will compress more,finally turning into hard ice.This ice is what forms the glacier.When the temperature rises slightly,the outer edges of the formed glacier and fresh snow will melt.a glacier to form and sustai For n itself it is of prime importance that the amount of snow that falls on it must be more than the amount of glacier that has melted.This is the only way in which the glacierwill be able to maintain itself and keep increasing in size year after year.Dictation 31 Oxygen 氧气Oxygen, that thing you breathe,that essential gas that keeps the world going round is really more important than you give it credit for.Oxygen is what essentially and literally keeps you alive and keeps you going.Consider this: people can survive fora few days without food and water,but do you think a person can survive even a few minutes without oxygen?No, the brain would die and the heart would stop pumping immediately.This is how essential oxygen is to the human body.It is used to convert fats and proteins from the food we consume into heat and energy for the body and its normal functioning.Oxygen is essential for the production of living cells and for respiration of these cells as well.Oxygen is also used in removing toxic waste from the body.Quite simply put, the more the oxygen there is in the body,the more energetic the body will be.Dictation 32 Purpose of Society 社会的作用One of the primary purposes of society is the formation of an organized group of individuals,who can support each other in various ways.It is in those difficult times that you realize the importance of being a part of society.It is the members of your social group who come forward to render all the help you need.The support given by society can be of the physical, emotional, financial or medical form.A society is characterized by social networks.They form an integral part of society.Social networks are defined as the maps of relationships between people.Relationships give rise to social interactions between people of a society.Individuals belonging to different ethnic groups can come together, thanks to societies.Their interactions give rise to strong social bonds that result in long-lasting relationships.A society gives rise to a family system and an organization of relationships,which form the heart of any social group.Dictation 33 Mountains 山脉Mountains are a type of landforms that are characterized by a higher elevation, in comparison to the surrounding areas.They are higher than 600 meters,and taller than the hills.The world's tallest mountains are located in Asia and the largest range of mountains is present in the Atlantic Ocean.Some of the highest mountain peaks are located in the oceans.Mountains represent varying climatic conditions based on their height.For example, in case of a tall mountain,the conditions at the base differ from the top of the mountain.In comparison to the mountain base,the top portion is colder and there is less oxygen and less protection from the sun's rays.It is estimated that half of the world population depends on mountains for water.In fact, the major rivers of the world are fed by mountains.Many mountains have glacial lakes that are formed due to melting of the glaciers.Dictation 34 Internet Relationship 网络关系Internet relationships are ones that are made through online communication with a prospective friend or date.Nowadays, many people are turning towards makings such relationships as they think these are more reliable than ones that are created by meeting in person.People have their own individual views regarding such relationships.Internet relationships can be made for the purpose of getting a date or just friendship.There is a debate going on in the online community about these online relationships.Some say that these kind of bonding is not at all reliable,as anyone can pose as a person who he is not, in reality.On the other hand,if you use the Internet in the best possible manner,this bonding can go well further genuinely.This simply means that, along with emails and chats,if you use real-time。

2023年英语专四听力突破辅导如何进行英语听写练习
英语专四听力突破辅导:如何进行英语听写练习精听一个重要的练习方法是听写(Dictation)。
英语专业四级考试中听写还是很重要的一块。
考察方式是,一篇文章一共读四遍。
第一遍总听,大约把握文章主题和大意。
听第二遍时开始写,但肯定会漏掉很多词没写下来。
第三遍开始补空。
最后一遍总体检查。
假如我们平时练习听力也用这样的方法的话,你会发现既浪费时间,提高得也很缓慢。
但说心里话,我觉得当时的老师并没有教给我们什么学习方法,完全靠拼命反复做题。
由我的经历可以得出:你要是特别能吃苦,可以天天学英语十几个小时,并且坚持下来的话,你的英语同样可以学好,在刻苦练习的过程中自己也会总结出很多学习方法和规律。
可人的生命太短暂了,假如我们把有限的生命错误地投入到一些低效能的事情上的话,就得不偿失了。
人要把有限的精力投入到最有也许带来效益的事情上去。
现在大家有福了!我会尽力帮大家总结提炼些能帮助你们高效提高英语水平的学习方法。
听写材料的选择建议大家不要用电影对白或者托福听力的对话部分练听写。
换句话说,对话类型的材料(conversations)是不适合拿来练听写的。
因素很简朴,对话的难点不在于某一个词,或一个复杂的句型,或比较晦涩的内容,或巨大的信息量。
难点往往来自于一些音变现象,比如连读失去爆破;来自于一些俚语习惯表达;来自于上下文语境的理解。
换句话说,很多对话材料,就算原文里每个单词你都结识,但不一定理解这句话的意思。
所以,费了半天劲听写下来的对话内容,要么看不懂不理解;要么就是这次看懂了,下次还是听不出。
所以,对话材料应当采用的练习方法其实是跟读模仿。
后面会讲到。
用来练听写的材料应当是一个人的陈述、讲座之类的(Lecture)。
之所以选择这样的材料,是和练听写的目地分不开的。
练听写的核心本质其实是为了提高我们快速理解和记忆的能力。
有的同学误认为听写就是要把听到的所有内容都写下来,那是一些考试的规定,不是我们平时提高听力的方法。
2020年英语专业四级考试听力原文
PART Ⅱ DICTATIONMoneyMoney is accepted across the world as payment for goods or services. People use money tobuy food, clothes and hundreds of other things. In the past, many different things were used as money. People on Pacific islands once exchanged shells for goods. The Chinese used cloth and knives. In Africa, elephant tusks or salt were used. Even today, some people in Africa are still paidin salt. Coins were first invented by the Chinese. Originally, they were round pieces of metal witha hole in the center, so that a piece of string could keep them together. This made doing business much easier, but people still found coins inconvenient to carry when they wanted to buy something expensive. To solve this problem, the Chinese again came up with the solution. They began to use paper money for coins. Now paper notes are used throughout the world.PART III LISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A1.

His son, George IV, began the reconstruction of the house, /which was not finished until the time of Queen Victoria/ who was the first queen to live there. /Today, the Queen’s home is officially called Buckingham Palace, /although many Londoners still call it Buck House. /When the queen is in residence, /a flag called the Royal Standard/ flies at the top of a pole. /The palace is guarded by sentries of the Guards Division. /The guards are changed in the morning/in the forecourt behind the railings. /The ceremony is always very popular with tourist, /who take many photographs, mainly because it is so colorful. /The new guard marches behind a band/and arrives in the forecourt at about 11:30. /The ceremony usually lasts half an hour. / PART 21-5 BBCDC 6-10 AABDD 11-15 DACDA16-20 BCCCA21-25 CBBAC 26-30 ADADA(2)PART 11William Shakespeare is best known for his plays, /but he and his period are also studied by scholars/who are interested in theatre architecture. /The design of theatres has changed a lot/sinc e the Greeks first acted in open-air theatres. /Every period in history/has had its different style of theatres. /Shakespeare’s name has always been connected/with the Globe Theatre which was in London/on the south bank of the river Thames. /The Globe, a circular theatre. /Shakespeare acted in this theatre/and also helped to manage it. /In fact, the Globe, was not very different/from many modern theatres. /Today, many of the huge theatres/of the 19th century have disappeared. /Modern theatres are more intimate and certainly much smaller. /Unlike the Globe, most modern theatres, however, have a roof! /PART 21-5 CBABA6-10 DDABA11-15 CDDCB 16-20 ADBAD 21-25 AABDD 26-30 BCCDC(3)PART 1Social insects live in integrated communities/ which in some ways are similar to human communities. /In both types of communities / there is division of labor. / In insect societies certain insects are responsible for reproduction; / the workers collect food / while the soldiers defend the colony. / In the same way human groups such as farmers and shopkeepers / have 2specialized functions in producing goods / and providing services to the community./Insect and human societies are also alike / in that individual members of the community worktogether. / Ants coordinate their efforts to build nests. / Similarly, in human societies engineers, architects, / town planners and construction workers unite to build cities. /The nests of social insects/ are as complex as a man-made city. / In some insect nests special accommodation is provided/ for the young and for food storage. / Many nests also have devices for regulating the temperature. /So insect nests are as functional as human houses. /PART 21-5 CBBCA6-10 BDBDB 11-15 CDACA16-20 ACADC 21-25 CAAAC 26-30 CDBDA(4)PART 1Throughout history man has changed his physical environment / in order to improve his way of life. /With the tools of technology / he has altered many physical features of the earth. / He’s transformed woodlands and prairies into farmland, / and made lakes reservoirs out of rivers/ for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric power. / Man has also modified the face of the earth/ by draining marshes and cutting through mountains/ to build roadways and railways. /3However, man’s changes to the physical environment/ have not always had beneficial results. / Today, pollution of the air and water / is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. / Each day thousands of tons of gases / come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles; / smoke from factories pollutes the air of the industrialized areas / and the surrounding areas of countryside. / So it is necessary for man to limit the growth / of technology in order to survive on earth. / PART 21-5 CCCDC 6-10 BDCAD 11-15 CCDAC 15-20 DBCDB 21-25 AACAB 26-30 BBDAA(5)PART 1There are mainly two types of elephants. / There are the Asiatic elephant, which is found in Indian, for example, / and the African elephant. / They are very much alike / but the African elephant is generally larger. / One characteristic of Asiatic elephants is that / they do not like being exposed to the sun, / and consequently they prefer to live in shady places. They are also very fond of bathing. / Apart from that, the most important difference / between the two varieties—between the Asiatic and the Africa elephants--/ is that the Asiatic elephant is more easily trained. / Elephants in India, for example, / have been caught and tamed for many hundreds of years. / We have already noted that they have good memories, / and it is this makes them 4easy to train. / Since they are immensely strong, they can carry and drag huge objects, such as the trunks of trees, and rocks. / This makes them extremely valuable beasts of burden. /PART 21-5 CCCDD 6-10 BBACB 11-15 ACABA16-20 DDDAB 21-25 DACAD 26-30 ADDBA(6)PART 1Are you worried by the rising crime rate? / If you are, then you probably know that your house , possessions and person / are increasingly in danger of suffering from the tremendous rise / in the cases of burglary and assault. / Figures indicate an ever-increasing crime rate / but it is only too easy to imagine “It will never happen to me”. / Unfortunately statistics show that it really can happen to you and,/ if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim./ Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do. / Protect Alarms can help you to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, / simple to operate and easily affordable. /Y ou must remember that possessing a burglar alarm is no indication / that your house is packed with valuable possessions. / It quite simply indicates to unwelcome visitors / that they will not break into the house easily. PART 251-5 CCADB 6-10 ACABB 11-15 ACBDB 16-20 AABDA21-25 CADCC 26-30 BADBA(7)PART 1Almost everyone knows that laser is used to produce very powerful beams of light. / These beams of light are so powerful./that they can make holes in steel in a flash./Today laser is getting wider and wider use /in more and more fields./Why is laser so much more powerful than other kinds of light? / What makes laser beams so different from other light beams? / Laser is a kind of light and also a form of energy. / A laser beam is made up of every short waves . /The laser beam keeps going on and off all the time./During the time /the laser beam is off ,/ the energy for the next flash is being built up,/ so when the beam is on again , /it will be a very strong flash. /The laser beam is much more powerful than other light beams. /PART 21-5 DBDBC 6-10 BACDD 11-15 AADAA16-20 CCABC 21-25 DDADD 26-30 CBCAD(8)PART 1Y ou can not see an atom, nor the electrical power with it./Y et you can see 6large holes made in the earth by atomic force./Y ou can see the power plants.

In businesses, the careful scheduling oftime and the separation of activities are mon practices.Appointment calendars are printed with 15-, 30-, and 60-niinute time slots.

专四听力材料
专四听力材料Good morning, everyone. Today, I am going to talk about the impact of technology on our daily lives. As we all know, technology is advancing rapidly and has become an integral part of our daily lives.Firstly, technology has greatly improved our communication. With the advent of smartphones and the internet, we can now instantly connect with people from all around the world. We can send messages, make phone calls, or even video chat with our loved ones, regardless of where they are. This has made it easier for us to stay in touch with friends and family, especially for those who live far away.Secondly, technology has revolutionized the way we work. Many traditional jobs have been replaced by machines or computers, which has increased productivity and efficiency. For example, in factories, robots can now perform tasks that used to be done by humans, resulting in faster production and reduced costs. In offices, computers have made it easier to store and access information, making work more streamlined and organized.Furthermore, technology has improved our access to information. In the past, we had to go to the library or search through books to find the information we needed. Now, with just a few clicks on the internet, we can find information on any topic we desire. This has made learning more convenient and accessible for everyone. However, along with the benefits, there are also some negative effects of technology. One major concern is our dependence ontechnology. Many people are now relying on their smartphones for almost everything, from communication to entertainment. This over-reliance on technology can be detrimental to our social skills and mental health.Moreover, technology has also given rise to new forms of crimes, such as hacking and online scams. It is important for individuals to be cautious when using technology and take necessary measures to protect themselves from cyber threats.In conclusion, technology has had a significant impact on our daily lives. It has improved our communication, changed the way we work, and increased our access to information. However, we need to be aware of the negative effects and use technology responsibly.。

专四听力------摘自李书民主编《新编高校英语专业四级考试指南及模拟试题》,上海外语教育出版社,2011年11月,上海,P 23-62。
听写完成后需要检查:字母大小写、名词单复数、动词时态和冠词的使用。
还可以根据自己的情况另外确定一些需要检查的方面。
听力理解应试技巧:掌握相应的英语词汇;尽快锁定听力内容的大概意思;多听以正常速度朗读的各种听力材料;遇到听不懂的地方,不要去想它,继续听下去经常听、经常练习,持之以恒;对自己要有信心。
试题分析:(一)对话部分试题分析与考试技巧:1、对话部分考点(1) 语言能力的测试:与听力内容本身密切相关的问题都属于对语言能力的测试,而这类考题又占对话听力理解问题的绝大部分。
因此考生就语言本身多加钻研仍是获取高分的有效途径。
这种涉及到语言层面的理解性问题又可以分为两大类:宏题和细题。
考生需要宏观把握文章内容才能回答的有关意图、推论等方面的问题成为“宏题”,考生需要边听边记忆才能具体回答的有关单词、辨音、时间、地点、年代、数据等方面的细节问题称之为“细题”。
“宏题”中常用的提问方式举例如下:What do we learn from the conversation? Where does the conversation take place?What do Mark and John think about…? What is the speaker’s attitude to…?What conclusion can we draw from this converstaion?Which of the following words is most appropriate to describe…?What can be said about the speaker’s opinion of…? What does the speaker mean?What does the speaker imply?“宏题”需要考生通过合理的推理和概括总结才能得到答案。
“细题”中常用的提问方式举例如下:What is NOT Mr. Lewis’purpose of the visit? What does the bowler do?What kind of cell did Mr. Lewis use when he was 8?A batsman in cricket does all the following EXCEPT_______.According to the conversation, when (where, who, what, why or how) did…?What are the causes of the accident?What is …? Why was…?What’s the telephone number of…?(2) 非语言能力的测试我们知道,对话部分作为听力理解考核的一部分,它决不单纯地考查考生的语言综合运用能力,而且还会考查考生对对话中任务的非语言信息获取的能力。
比如说话者的语音语调、词的重读、弱读、重复等,这些因素在某种程度上都传达了说话者的态度:怀疑,惊讶、迟疑、不确定等。
如果能对这些非语言因素多加注意,那么将对理解对话意思起到事半功倍的效果。
比如: well, uh 等小词的出现,声调的运用都可以暗含某种情绪色彩。
短文部分试题分析与考试技巧:1、短文部分考点短文部分由若干短篇文章组成,每篇长度大约为200个单词,每篇后又若干道题目,共10题,要求考生听完后就问题作出选择。
这一部分难度相对而言比较大,主要是因为文章包含的信息多,考生往往抓不住中心,记不住要点,不知道该听什么,不知全文的关键所在。
由于文章长,还会出现“听了后面忘了前面”的情况。
考生有时还会觉得自己听的时候都听懂了,做题的时候却对录音印象模糊,不知道该选哪一个答案好。
在一篇短文中,有时还不时出现一些听不懂的单词,这更容易使考生乱了方寸。
另外,使考生感到十分头痛的是短文信息量比对话大得多,而内容、题材也更广、更丰富,考生需要了解的信息也更多,他们往往难以在听一遍录音的情况下抓住要点和关键。
考生要想取得比较好的成绩,一是要强化听、记的能力,而是要扩大自己的知识面,多学习一些英美概况知识,这对提高短文听力理解非常有用。
这种题型的特点是在有限的时间内叙述一件事或论述一个观点,因此不需要考生听懂每一个单词,只要听懂大意,抓住关键信息就可答对题目。
考生若遇到生词不必惊慌,几个生词不会影响对全文的理解。
由于短文有一定长度,仅凭大脑的记忆是不够的,考生须边听边记录,用一些简单的符号记下重要的内容。
短文后的问题有的是针对文章中的一些具体信息的提问,比如地点、年龄、职业等,有的是针对文章的主要内容提问,还有的则是问作者的观点。
2、短文特点(1)题材和内容主要包括一些小故事、人物传记、风土人情、文化、教育、体育、新闻报道、英美历史、地理、科普常识和社会生活等。
题材可以包括记叙文、说明文、议论文等。
短文涉及的范围有:a. 社会问题:文化教育、妇女解放、民族问题、环境污染、交通灯。
议论文比较多,坐着唱对某一社会问题进行分析和研究,从未表达自己的观点。
由于要表达作者的观点,问题既有主观的,也有客观的,回答这类问题时常需要做一定的推理分析。
b. 一般知识:人物传记、风土人情、文艺、体育、历史知识等。
因为是一般介绍,所以问题多以客观形式出现,需要注意时间、情节的细节和顺序。
考生在听这种故事性比较强的短文时应注意故事发生的时间、地点和主要人物以及事件发生的原因、过程和结果。
时间、地点和人物一般出现在故事的开头,而过程和结果往往在中间和后半部分。
c. 主要介绍自然科学方面的情况,语言和其他几种略不相同,如被动语态的使用和一些科技词汇的运用,这种体裁信息量相对大一点。
(2)短文部分主要参考考生对文章大意、中心思想、重要细节的理解与领会以及根据所获取的相关信息对文中的某些细节进行联想、判断的能力。
(3)常见的提问方式:a. 对主要内容的判断:What is the main idea/ topic/ od this passage?What is the title of the lecture?What can we learn from the passage?What does the passage tell us essentially?What is the subject they are talking about?What is the passage mainly about?What statement best expresses the mian idea?b. 对具体实施的判断用wh-question的形式对短文中有关人名、地名、时间、原因、数据、目的、年代等提问(有时也包括一些是非题)c. 对某些词句的理解What did the man mean by saying (mentioning)…?According to the passage, what does the word/phrase mean?What is …?d. 对谈话人的观点、态度的判断What is the speaker’s attitude toward…?What can be said about the speaker’s opinion of …?What does the speaker mean?According to the writer, what is the solution to the problem discussed in the passage?3、短文应试技巧对于短文听力题,如果注意以下几个方面,就有可能取得比较满意的成绩。
(1)预先估计考试问题预测说话人的意图是听力理解的基本技巧,是提高听力理解能力的根本途径,同时也可以帮助考生提高逻辑思维能力。
虽然短文的信息量大,但实际上每篇文章的出题点也就三四个。
如果能预先估计出会有哪些问题,就能在听的时候心中有数,有的放矢,注意听那些与问题有关的地方。
要想预先知道大概会考什么,就需要在听录音前迅速地将每题的选项浏览一遍。
考生可以在考前的听力训练中对此多加练习。
预测技巧的成败主要取决于考生对文章题目的理解深度、掌握的背景知识的多少、对关键词的捕捉能力以及对语言环境的熟悉程度。
预测时所依赖的词汇和短语的特征越明显,预测的正确性也就越高,理解程度也就越深。
在听之前,考生如果快速浏览选择项,就可以对短文的内容有个大概的了解与推测。
有时考生通过纵向、横向比较则能发现一些解体的重要信息。
这些信息优势与选项有相符之处,可以帮助考生确定问题的类型。
由于短文提醒考查内容大多是有关细节的,所以这部分的选项中的正确答案与原文意思有时基本一致,问题也常常按照短文叙述的先后顺序提出,考生可以边听录音边看答案,听到什么选什么,从而避免“考到的没记住,记住的没考到”的现象,同时对那些不太重要的词句以及没有听到的个别单词置之不理。
(2)做适当、简要的记录为了能准确地记住短文的有关内容,并不受选项内容的干扰,最好的方法就是迅速就短文中可能出现的考点做一些笔记。
遇到数字、人名、地名、时间、年、月、日时要做记录,否则可能忘掉或者混淆。
比较题的选择项一般是属于同一范畴的几个词语,可能涉及时间、地点、任务、数据等,假如不做简要的记录,选择时可能对这些已经听懂的内容辨别不清或者错位。
(3)注意短文的中心思想和主题这类问题一般在短文听力中都是必考的。
要正确回答此类问题,考生需要抓住文章主题句和一些表示文章结构的词。
抓住这些就能对文章有个大概了解,就能比较容易地听懂短文内容。
主题句通常是文章的第一句话或者最后一句话(个别情况下主题句也可能出现在段落的中间),他们对整篇文章的内容起一个概括和提示的作用,实际上是文章的中心论点或者是说话人对所谈内容持有的观点和态度。
主题句后面的句子通常是阐述具体的情节、说明和证实主题。
因此,听清主题句,对于了解文章的内容,听懂大意、了解全文的中心意思非常重要。
(4)记住关键信息词英语朗读有一个重要特征就是有轻重之分,那些表示实际意义的名词、动词、形容词、数量词等是关键词,朗读时比较重,容易听清楚。
由于答案多是与原文相似、相同或作同位解释,因此对那些出现频率较高的词考生要多留心,待听完全文后再根据提问对所要选择的内容,做进一步的概括、判断。
(5)根据常识做适当的分析判断在听短文时,由于某种原因考生可能没有完全听懂某些单词和句子。
这是考生可以根据已获得的部分信息和一般常识来进行选择。
