2017年6月大学英语四级听力真题原文(卷一)
【导语】以下是⽆忧考整理的2017年6⽉⼤学英语四级听⼒真题原⽂(卷⼀),仅供参考。
⼩编提醒:英语四级考试采取“多题多卷”模式,试题顺序不统⼀,请依据试题进⾏核对! ⼀.新闻听⼒ 【News Report 1】 One of Google's self-driving cars crashed into a bus in California last month. There were no injuries. It is not the first time one of Google's famed self-driving cars has been involved in a crash, but it may be the first time it has caused one. On February 14th the self-driving car, travelling at 2mph (3km/h), pulled out in front of a public bus going 15mph(24km/h). The man in the Google vehicle reported that he assumed the bus would slow down to let the car out, and so he did not switch to the manual mode. In a statement, Google said: "We clearly bear some responsibility, because if our car hadn't moved, there wouldn't have been a crash." That said, our test driver believed the bus was going to slow or stop to allow us to merge into the traffic, and that there would be sufficient space to do that." The company's self-driving cars have done well over a million miles across various states in the US, and until now have only reported minor accidents. Q1: According to Google, what was the cause of the accident? B The test driver made a wrong judgement Q2: How have Google’s self-driving cars performed so far? D They have generally done quite well. 【News Report 2】 Thousands of bees left a town after landing on the back of a car when their queen got stuck in its boot. Tom Moses who works at a nearby national park, noticed a “brown patch” on the back of the car after the owner parked it to do some shopping. When he looked closer he realized it was a huge group of bees. Moses said: “I have never seen that many bees in one spot. It was very unusual. They were very close together and there was a lot of noise and movements, it was interesting to see such a strange sight. But there were a lot of people around and I was a bit worried about the bees and the people stopping to look. I thought that someone might do something stupid. Moses called two local bees specialists who helped removed the bees by attracting them into a box. Moses spent three hours looking after the bees and was stung five times, he said my stings are a bit painful but I am pleased that all worked out and I could help, people need to realize that bees are valuable and they should be looked after. Q3. What do we learn about Tom Moses? A He works at a national park. Q4. What do we know about the bees on the back of the car? B They were making a lot of noise. 【News report 3】 A new species of snake has been discovered on a remote island in the Bahamas. Scientists identified 20 of the one meter-long snakes during two trips to the Caribbean islands. The second trip was made in October last year. One of the creatures made a dramatic appearance by moving on to the head of the team leader as he slept. The snake has been named silver boa because it is metallic colored and the first specimen found was climbing a silver palm tree. The team was led by Dr. Graham Reynolds, from Harvard University, the scientist confirmed the snake was a previously unknown species after conducting a genetic analysis of tissue samples. Commenting on the find, snake expert Robert Henderson from the Museum of Natural History, said: “Worldwide new species of frogs are being discovered and described quite regularity. New species of snakes, however, are much rarer. Q5. What is the news report mainly about? A The discovery of a new species of snake. Q6. What do we learn about the scientific team leader? C A snake crawled onto his head in his sleep. Q7. How did the newly discovered creature get its name? D From its colour. ⼆.对话听⼒ 【Conversation 1】 W: Did you enjoy your stay with us, Mr. Brown? M: Yes, very much. I had a wonderful time here. Now I'm going to the airport. My flight leaves in less than 2 hours. So, could you tell me, what's the quickest way to get there? W: Well, we can call a taxi for you. We also have a free airport shuttle service. M: That sounds great, but will the shuttle get me to the airport in time? W: Yes, it should. The next shuttle leaves in 15 minutes. And it takes some 25 minutes to get to the airport. M: Fantastic! I'll just wait in the lobby. Will you please let me know when it's leaving? W: Of course, sir. M: Now I would like to settle my mini-bar bill. How much is that? W: Let's see. It comes to $37.50. How would you like to pay for it? M: I'll pay with my credit card. Thanks. But I'll need a receipt, so I can charge it to my company. W: Absolutely! Here you are, sir. If you like, I can leave your bags with the porter. And he can load them onto the shuttle for you when it arrives. M: That would be great. Thank you. W: Would you like to leave a comment on our web page when you have time? M: Sure. I had a really good stay here, and I'd like to recommend your hotel to my friends and colleagues. W: That’s very kind of you. Thank you again for staying at Sheraton Hotel. Q8. Why does the man ask about the quickest way to the airport? A The security check takes time. Q9. How is the man going to pay his bill? B By credit card. Q10. What did the man ask the woman to do? A Give him a receipt. Q11. What favor does the woman ask of the man? D Posting a comment on the hotel’s webpage. 【Conversation 2 】 M: You know, Ben’s given up making those terrible faces he used to make. The other day, he came home from school almost in tears. His teacher said if he went on like that, his face would get stuck when the winds changed. W: And he believed her? M: Yeah, he’s only a little boy. Don’t you remember all those things we used to believe when we were little? I remember my aunt Mary used to say if you swallow a cherrystone, a tree would grow out of your mouth. And I’m still terrified today, sort of subconsciously. You know, if I swallow one by mistake… W: Yeah, I suppose you're right. The one that used to get me was that swans could break your leg when they blow of the wing. M: They can, can’t they? I always thought they could. W: No, they are not that strong. But there’s another one even more terrifying. That is, if you put a post stamp on upside down, you will go to prison. M: No, never heard of that. But my grandmother was a terror for that kind of thing. For example, she would say, you will get a spot on your tongue if you tell a lie. If you eat stale bread, your hair will curl. And here’s one more. We went on a campaign trip once in Italy, and my wife spent the whole time worrying about bats getting into her hair. She said her grandmother reckoned you had to shave your head to get it out. My wife was really terrified. W: Silly, isn’t it? But that’s how some parents try to keep their kids from doing the wrong thing or getting into trouble. Q12: What does the man say about Ben? C He has stopped making terrible faces. Q13: What did aunt Marry used to do when the man was a child? D Warn him of danger by making up a story. Q14: What does the woman believe swans could do? They could break pp’s legs. Q15: What did the grandmother of the man’s wife say? B One would have to shave their head to remove a bat in their hair. 三.短⽂听⼒ 【Passage 1】 If I could go back in history and live when I liked, I wouldn't go back very far. In fact, I'd like to relive a period I've already lived – the 1960s. I was in my twenties, and everything was being renewed. People would come in out of a formal and almost Victorian attitude, and you really felt anything was possible. Meeting people was the thing, and you went to coffee bars where you met friends and spent the evening. The cinema, the theater, all that was every exciting with new things coming out. In fact, we seemed to be out, all the time! I don't really remember working – of course, I was a student – or sitting around at home very much. That just wasn't where the scene was, even eating! It was the first time, ordinary people started going out to eat. We were beginning to be adventurous about food, but we were more interested in meeting people than in eating or drinking. And dress, yes, that was the revolution. I mean, girls went around in really short skirts, and wore flowers in their hair. And men were in jeans, and could wear their hair long too. It was a wonderful period. It was like living in an age you could never have imagined, and that never has come back. We didn't have much money, but it didn't matter.

Police say the gunman was StevenKazmierczak,27, a former graduate student in Sociology at the school.Police say he purchased the shotgun and two of the handguns on Saturday, indicating he may have planned the attack in advance,(2) but authorities have not determined a motive for the shooting.
