Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey fromNa irobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to beloade d on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were leftsmashed, a nd blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier,Uganda's police chief had warned of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. When did the incident occur?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It's been in businessnearl y a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company's decision tocall in ad ministrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token £1 failed.The company has huge debts. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain's slidetowar d recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been introuble for years.Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition fromsu permarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.Many of the store group's 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs.

In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there havebeen si gns of improvement. That's due in part to the removal of many of the capital's old-fashioned blac k and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in apoor state of repai r.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.The idea has proved popular with customers ― they can now travel in air-conditioned comfortan d because the new cabs are metered, they don't have to argue over fares. Banks and carmanufact urers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times.

Then mark the correspondin g letter on AnswerSheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneIn today's class, we'll discuss Toni Morrison's novel Beloved. As I'm sure you all know, Morrisonis both a popular and a highly respected author, and it's not easy to be both. Born in 1931,Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on the African-Americanexperience ever written by anyone, and yet to call her an “African-American writer” doesn'tseem to do her ju stice. In many ways, she's simply an American writer—and certainly one ofour best.Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every major literary prize,incl uding the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact wonthe P ulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the NobelPrize fo r literature in 1993.What makes Beloved unique is the skillful, sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personals torytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of Blackswith the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with a sense ofmyst erious spirituality.We'll be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work. I'm particularlyinterest ed in your views on the relative importance of race and gender in this book. Is it moreimportant t hat Sethe, the main character, is black or that she's a woman? Which contributesmore to her bei ng? What does Morrison tell us about both?Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do we learn about Toni Morrison?17. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993?18. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character in Morrison's novel Beloved?Passage TwoThe topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may thinkth at gift-giving is a universal custom. But actually, the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot, and notkn owing them can result in great embarrassment. In North America, the rules are fairly simple.If yo u're invited to someone's home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from yourcountr y. Among friends, family, and business associates, we generally don't give gifts on otheroccasions except on someone's birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the other hand, givegifts quite fre quently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift-giving inJapan is very anc ient. There are many detailed rules for everything from the color of thewrapping paper to the tim e of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don't generallyexchange business gifts, they do fo llow some formal customs when visiting homes, such asbringing flowers. The type and color of flo wers, however, can carry special meaning.Today we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additionalexamples. But let's not miss the main point here: If we are not aware of and sensitive to culturaldifferences, the possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learnabout these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respectdifferences among p eople in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?20. What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift-giving?21. What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?Passage ThreeHetty Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Herfather was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two herfather to ok her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six shestarted read ing the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account.Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million. She went to New York andinvest ed on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15cents. She b ecame one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she marriedEdward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.Hetty's meanness was well known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to theloc al grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone forher m uch loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. Shenever bough t clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when herson Ned fell an d injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking forfree medical help. I n the end Ned lost his leg.When she died in 1916 she left her children $100 million. Her daughter built a hospital with herm oney.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?25. What do we learn about Hetty's daughter?参考答案Part II Listening ComprehensionSection A1. B2. C3. A4. D5. D6. A7. CSection B8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C 12. A 13. B 14. C 15. DSection C16. A 17. B 18. D 19.

We’ve shared a sales job at Sonatech for about two years now.W: Well, how do you divide up your schedule?M: You know we are both sales representatives, and we take orders over the phone. When we started job sharing it was difficult, because we both worked all day Monday. I worked Tuesday and Thursday and Arthur worked Wednesday and Friday. The problem was that when I was in the office on Tuesday. I would talk to people, then they would call back on Wednesday with a question. But Arthur couldn’t answer the question and he couldn’t ask me about it because I wasn’t in the office. So he had to ask the people to call me back the ne_t day, Thursday. Of course, they didn’t like to wait until the ne_t day to have their questions answered.W: Yes, that sounds like a problem.M: So, finally we decided that Arthur would work in the mornings and I would work in the afternoons.

What did the man claim about the speed limit sign?Q24. What did the woman say about the man’s driving license?Q25. What was the man’s penalty?Part III Listening ComprehensionSection BPassage 1Since I started working part-time at a grocery store, I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buy something. To me, a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping card. One of the first things customers forget is how to count. There is no other way to e_plain how so many people get in their e_press line, which is clearly marked _ items or less, with _, 25 or even a cart load of items. Customers also forget why they came to the store in thefirst place. Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will say, “Oops, I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread. I hope you don’t mind waiting while I go get it.” Five minutes later, he’s back with the bread, a bottle of milk, and three rolls of paper towels. Strange is that seems customers also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries. Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the groceries, my customers will wait until I announce the total. Then, in surprise, she says, “Oh no, what did I do with my check book?” After 5 minutes of digging through her purse, she borrows my pen because she’s forgotten hers. But I have to be tolerant of customers because they pay my salary, and that’s something I can’t afford to forget.Q26. What does the speaker say about customers’ entering the grocery store?Q27. Which customers are supposed to be in the e_press line?Q28. What does the speaker say some customers do when they arrive at the check-out counter?Q29. What does the speaker say about his job at the end of the talk? Passage 2The speech delivery style of Europeans and Asians tends to be very formal. Speakers of these cultures often read oral presentations from carefully retain manual scripts. On the other hand, American speakers are generally more informal relative to speakers and other cultures. American audiences prefer natural, spontaneous delivery that conveys a lively sense of communication. They don’t relay well to speakers who read from a manual script. If you use an outline of your ideas instead of a prepare te_t, your speech will not only sound more natural, but you will also be ableto establish better relationship with your listeners and keep their attention. The language and style you use when making an oral presentation should not be the same as the language in style you use when writing. Well retain information, that is meant to be read, does not work as well when it is heard. It is, therefore, important for you to adapt retain te_ts or outlines for presentations. Good speakers are much more informal when speaking than when writing. They also use their own words and develop their own speaking styles. Whenever possible, they use short words. Listeners are appreciated when speakers use simple, everyday words in a presentation. One advantage is that it is much easier for speakers to pronounce short words correctly. Another is that long and sophisticated vocabulary choices make listening more difficult.Question 30 to 3230. What does the speaker say American audiences prefer?31. What should one pay attention to when making an oral presentation?32. What does the speaker focus on in the talk?Passage 3Let children learn to judge their own workA child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He compares a thousand times a day the difference between language as he uses it and language as those around him use it. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, kids learning to do all the other things they learn without adult teachers, to walk, run, climb, ride a bike, play games, compare their own performance with what more skilled people do, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school wenever give a child a chance to detect his mistakes. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him. Soon he becomes dependent on the e_pert. We should let him do it himself. Let him figure out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what is the answer to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or that.If right answers need to be given, as in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such tedious work? Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that they can’t find the way to get the right answer. Question 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q33 How does a child learn to do something according to the speaker?Q34 What belief do teachers commonly hold according to the speaker?Q35 What does the speaker imply about the current way of teaching?Time is, for the average American, of utmost importance. To the foreign visitor, Americans seem to be more concerned with getting things accomplished on time (according to a predetermined schedule) than they are with developing deep interpersonal relations. Schedules, for the American, are meant to be planned and then followed in the smallest detail. It may seem to you that most Americans are completely controlled by the little machines they wear on their wrists, cutting their discussions off abruptly to make it to their ne_t appointment on time.Americans’ language is filled with references to time, giving a clear indication of how much it is valued. Time is something to be “on,” to be “kept,” “filled,” “saved,” “wasted,” “gained,” “planned,” “given,” “made the most of,” even “killed.”The international visitor soon learns that it is considered very rude to be late -- even by _ minutes -- for an appointment in America.Time is so valued in America, because by considering time to be important one can clearly achieve more than if o ne “wastes” time and doesn’t keep busy. This philosophy has proven its worth. It has enabled Americans to be e_tremely productive, and productivity itself is highly valued in America. Many American proverbs stress the value of guarding time, using it wisely, and setting and working toward specific goals. Americans believe in spending their time and energy today so that the fruits of their labor may be enjoyed at a later time.真题答案：_.C) Fifteen_.D) use her computer_.C) coming back home_.D) telephone_.A) Si__.C) posters_.D) story_.B) Buy_.C) changes_.D) library_.B) Winters that are not too cold_.B) adventure23.B) buildings24.A) parks25.D) lifestyle26.C) countryside27.B) patience28.C) leisure time29.A) information30.D) temperature31.A) To attract32.C) cohabitation33.C) stressed34.A) se_ist institution35.D) compensation36. ordinary37. switch38. enter39. adopt40. businesses41. married_ he needs_go camping_ she failed_ he is actually_ rules_ he has got_ he is not easy_ refuel_ they have greatly _ the effects were _ they are two_ it usually23 to improve24 listen25 most fo them26 she enjoys27 their identical28 pay for29 it can be30 equal education31 democratic32 to enable them33 improvement34 when you already35 working by oneself36 selection37 knowledge38 vegetables39 purchasing40 determines41 single42 responsible43 rush44 partly, now all half lf amrican homes have microwave ovens45 the united states depatrment of agriculture and food industry collect sales and statisticas keep regular records 46 red meat which use to be the mos_、buy_、she is going_、he is making_、she has every_、it is more_、the old_、the storm_、children should _、handle_、conflicts between _、they are given_、near23、he did24、it should25、he had his26、they behave27、those with _28、go29、it calls30、it needs goods31、a natural32、the key33、by observing34、看不清35、最长的那个_年_月_日四级听力真题及答案.。
