M: Why isn’t Jane here yet? Do you think we should try to call her or go look forher?W: Give her a few more minutes.Q: What does the woman’s attitude to Jane? (D)Part FourIt began as g game. High school and college students thought they could use personal computers to go into telephone company computers and make free，long-distance telephone calls. These young people soon gained the name “hackers”.As hackers gained experience，they began going into computers at banks，airlines and other businesses. In one case，a hacker instructed an airline’s computer to give him free airplane tickets. The U.S. government was worried that hackers may go into its networks of defense computers. In November 1988，a college student went into a U.S. Defense Department computer network. The hacker put into a computer program. This program could copy itself. Government officials shut down the network before the program reached every computer in the system. Shutting down the system angered many researchers who were using the computers. The hacker turned himself in to police and told them how to get his program out of the computer system. He was charged with a crime.Questions:1. What did the hackers want when they planned to go into the telephone companycomputers? (D)2. Why is the U.S. government worried? (B)3. When did a hacker go into the defense system? (A)4. What did he do when he got into the defense system? (C)5. What was the consequence of the hacker? (C)Part FiveThe polish takes his pleasure seriously. He likes to have an aim even when spending his spare time. During the summer，people start work very early in the morning so that they can finish early and enjoy a leisurely afternoon. It is difficult to imagine Polish people going aimlessly for a walk in the country，though they might go to pick wild fruit，to visit a place of interest or to walk 20 kilometers as a training exercise. They are often respected for their immense enjoyment of the arts. All parks are beautifully cared for and are for the use and enjoyment of the people. Quite ordinary people will talk with obvious delight about concerts. There is always a crowd at the door of the theatre，asking for returned tickets. People in Poland now have far more leisure time and more money than ever before. It is therefore possible to spend the weekends in many new ways. Many people now have over 20 days’holiday a year. This provides an opportunity for holidays in the country or at the seaside.1. F2. F3. F4.T5.T。

英语听力入门1unit12dictation答案

英语听力入门1u n i t12d i c t a t i o n答案-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1Different people have different ways of learning. We call this your “learning style,”and it’s based on your senses. To learn, you need to use your different senses—hearing, seeing, touching, etc., to bring information to your brain. Now, most people use one of their senses more than the others.Some people learn best by listening. They are called hearing learners. And others learn best by reading or looking at pictures. They are called visual learners. And some learn best by touching and doing things. They are called tactile learners. Now scientists don’t know why people use one sense more than the others. Maybe the sense they use most just works best for them.2Today, we tell about one of the most famous national parks in the United States. It is one of the most beautiful places in the county. Yosemite National Park is a place of extremes. It has high mountains. It has valleys formed ancient ice that cut deep into the Earth millions of years ago. Water from high in the mountains falls in many places to the green valley far below. There are thirteen beautiful waterfalls in Yosemite Valley. One of these waterfalls, Yosemite Falls，is the fifth highest on Earth. Yosemite has a beautiful slow-moving river and large grassy areas where you can see wild animals.3America’s national road system makes it possible to drive coast to coast. From the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west is a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers. Or you could drive more than two thousand kilometers and go from the Canadian border south to the Mexican border. The highway system has made it possible for people to work in a city and live outside it. And it has made it possible for people to travel easily and quickly from one parts of the country to anther.4The way you look at someone conveys important cultural messages. Without your even knowing it, your gaze speaks volumes. “The eyes are the window of the soul,”according to the old saying. Staring is acceptable in some cultures but not in others.A wink can mean a compliment or an insult, depending on the culture. A direct gaze can be a sign of honesty or an indication of disrespect and rudeness, according to the culture that surrounds the gazer. The way a person gazes thus expresses a strong message—but this message can be easily misunderstood if cultural norms are not shared.5This time of the year Americans spend lots of time shopping for holiday gifts for their family members and friends. Many people visit a lot of stores in large shopping centers to buy their gifts. Others order goods by telephone from catalogues, the magazines that offer company’s products. And many are doing their holiday shopping on the Internet. Industry experts say American businesses should have about 184,000 million dollars in sales during November and December. 63% of people who use the Internet say they expect to buy at least some gifts there.IOC stands for International Olympic Committee, which governs the Olympics in general. It was founded in Paris on 23 June 1894. Its headquarters are in the Swiss city of Lausanne. Its official languages are English and French. IOC members come from five different continents--Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. They choose Olympic cities six years in advance. All the Olympic movement’s rules are contained in a book called The Olympic Charter. There’s an Olympic museum and Studies Center in Lausanne. It contains posters, documents, medals, books, photos, paintings, films and sculptures.7There are far too many road accidents in this country, too many deaths and too many people injured. One wonders who are most to blame, drivers or pedestrians. Some people say that the blame cannot be put fairly without considering the state of the roads and the whole transport system. On the other hand, many experts are convinced that the larger part of the blame for the death toll must be put on persons and persons alone. To be fair, pedestrians, drivers and road conditions are all to blame. One looks forward to the day when the motor-car has been replaced by some less dangerous means of transport.8Petroleum has been important since ancient times. In Latin, the name means “rock oil.” Petroleum is a fossil fuel. The liquid comes from the remains of plants and animals that died millions of years ago. These remains were buried deep below levels of rock over time and under great pressure. This geological process created complex molecules of hydrogen and carbon. Oil can also contain other elements. Crude oil, or unprocessed petroleum, is called sour when it contains a lot of sulfur, an impurity. Sour crude requires more refining than sweet crude, which is often more valuable.9In September of 2000, world leaders set eight goals for bringing millions of people out of poverty. These became known as the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Among them: cut in half the number of people living on less than one dollar a day and halt the spread of AIDS and malaria. The goals also include improving survival rates for pregnant women and young children, and educating all children. Working for equality between women and men and dealing with environmental needs like safe water also are included. The target date for reaching the goals is 2015.10One way to think about time is to imagine a world without time. There could be no movement, because time and movement cannot be separated. A world without time could exist only as long as there were no changes. For time and change are linked. We know that time has passed when something changes. In the real world—the world with time—changes never stop. Some changes happen only once in a while, like an eclipse of the moon. Others happen repeatedly, like the rising andsetting of the sun. Humans always have noted natural events that repeat themselves. When people began to count such events, they began to measure time.11The World Future Society has published a special report about forces changing the world. One of them is population growth. The report says the world is expected to have more than nine thousand million people by the middle of this century. Population growth in many industrial nations, however, is expected to drop. But medical progress helps their people to live longer lives. International migration is also shaping the future. The report says there is some resistance, but also growing acceptance of cultural differences. The world economy is also becoming more integrated. On the issue of energy, the use of oil is expected to reach 110 million barrels a day by 2020.。

英语听力入门第一册原文及答案Step by step 3000 book 2Unit1 Part 1 原文Part 1 Warming upA Tapescript:The Porter FamilyMr William Porter is very old. He's 87. And Mrs Catherine Porter is80. Mr Porter is from Wales. John Porter and Mary are brother and sister John Porter is 53 and he's a lawyer.His wife Susan is 48 ,and she's an architect.James Porter and Joan Lee are cousins. James Porter is 24 and Joan Lee is 17.B Tapescript:Here are a few general ideas I believe help make a marriage work:1.Go on dates with each other.Renew romantic feelings by spending special time together.2. Be as specific as you can when you complain ,make a request ,or offer praise.3. When stressed by fatigue or your own insecurities ,imagine you and your partner in a foxhole ,surrounded by danger.Instead of striking out at your partner ,find a way to protect the partnership!4. When you feel "distant ," talk about it with your partner.5. Be assured that partners in all marriages sometimes get tired,irritable ,or distracted. Work together to understand each other.6. Respect each other.Leave if danger exists. Find professional help if physical ,sexual ,emotional ,or verbal abuse occurs.7. Fight to "understand ," not to "win. "C Tapescript:Having been married for more than 40 years ,I can attest to truth of the following statement: To excel in the art of domestic argument ,one must master the art of losingModern psychologists are taken with the "lose-lose" solution. But inmarriage ,success resides more in "lose-lose" solutions. Out of these ,both parties can win. For in the love configuration ,losing gives a gift that always returns.The issues that people argue over most in marriage ,such as how to spend money ,often aren't the real ones. The key issue is: who is going to be in control? When I was younger,my need to control arose out of fear,a lack of trust ,insecurity. The day I finally realized I needn't to controlmy wife-that ,indeed ,I ought not to control her ,that I couldn't control her ,and that if I try to ,I would destroy our marriage - was the day our marriage began.What is it we want most from a marriage? To love and be loved. To be happy and secure .To grow to discover A love relationship is the garden in which we plant ,cultivate and harvest the most precious of crops ,our own self,and in which our spouse is provided the same rich soil in which to bloom.We cannot obtain what we want unless our partner also gets what he or she wants. So remember: if you want to feel loved and respected ,give up control.Unit1 Part 1 答案Part I - A87, 80, 53, 48, 24, 17Part I - B1.spending special time together.2.specific, complain, request, praise.3.fatigue, insecurities, foxhole, striking out , protect.4.distant5.all marriages, Work together o understand6.Respect, danger, professional, physical, verbal7.Understand, winPart I - C40, excel, domestic argument, losingwin-win, lose-lose, win, a gift, returnsargue over, aren't, who, in control, fear, didn't need, ought not to , couldn't, tried to, destroy, marriage love, loved, secure, discover, garden, cultivate, the most precious, own self, bloom.obtain, our partner, loved and respected, control.Unit1 Part 2 原文Part 2A Tapescript:Many people in Western cultures choose their own wives and husbands. In many other cultures ,spouses are often chosen by the parents In China and Japan before this century (20th century) ,upper-class marriages were arranged by the older males. In many cultures in the MiddleEast ,Asia ,and pre-industrial Europe ,the man's family negotiated negotiated a"bride price" with the woman's family :the man's family was expected to pay it.In Hindu India ,the bride's family paid a "groom's price" to the family of the man. These customs are weakening : for instance ,only 9. 2 percent of Japanese marriages are now arranged.What are the criteria for choosing mates? Most marriages-whether arranged by families or occurring from personal attraction or love-are based on similar social backgrounds. In other words ,the man and the woman come from the same social class ( or else a class that is only slightly higher or slightly lower). Among many people in Egypt ,key members of the man's family must go to the family of the woman and propose marriage. These family members must be able to show that the man's family is at least of the same social class as the woman and that a certain amount of money exists to allow the marriage to go forward. Having the same race or the same ethnic background is the second main criterion for marriage throughout the world. In the U. S. ,where there are many different races ,only 3 percent of all marriages are between blacks and whites ,meaning that the races are still largely separate in marriage.In many countries ,marriage is also based on the woman and man having the same religion :this is a third common criterion for choosing a mate. In cultures in which religion is a very strongvalue ,marriages would often not take place if there were religious differences.B Tapescript:A: What do you think it is that attracts people to each other ,that makespeople want to be together?B: I think that perhaps unfortunately in the initial stages it' s the physicalappearance that attacts. I think unless you find somebody attractive ,unless there's something about them一it could only perhaps be theway they smile or they laugh ,or a twinkle in their eye ,or the way acurl falls over their forehead. But something like that has to make youinterested enough to find out more about that person ,unless that'sthere I think you just don't bother.So initially physical attraction Ithink is all-important.A: Why do you say" unfortunately" ?B: Because in fact it shouldn't be what somebody looks like that is important.You should be able to look beyond the physical appearance and see what sort of a person he or she is ,whether they're selfish or selfless ,whether they're kind ,caring. But I think initially you're not bothered with that.That comes perhaps later.A: In pop songs and magazines and newspapers and so on ,the idea of falling in love is always emphasized ,so people have this idea that you have to fall in love. Do you think this is misleading for people? Do you think people expect something that in fact doesn't exist?B: Yes I do ,in fact I think we can probably lay the blame for the high percentage of divorces-it's a third I think now ,isn't it? I think one in three people get divorced. Probably as far as I can see it ,the reason is that they go into marriage or into a relationship with a very romantic view of love which I think has been created by the pop songs ,by all the love stories ,by the Barbara Cartland novels ,etc.·,that young people read. Really ,you meet someone ,you fall in love ,and that' s it ,it' s the beginning ,they live happily ever after.And I think that' s the problem ,because people just expect that ,and it's not like that.A: So what is it ,do you think ,that really sustains a relationship ,that keeps a relationship going?B: Well ,I think you have to differentiate between falling in love with somebody ,which I see as more superficial ,and loving somebody ,which I see as a deeper emotion and one that perhaps lasts. Falling in love is superficial attraction ,being attracted to somebody physically , having fun together ,whereas loving somebody I think is an emotion that grows ,it comes with shared experiences ,perhaps enjoying doing the same things together ,shared hobbies ,shared interests ,suffering together as well ,going through the bad times ,helping each other , supporting each other. I think all that needs time to grow ,and I' d call thatlove ,and I think that' s what makes a relationship last.C Tapescript;For years men and women have been getting married. They say their wedding vows which bring them together as one. They promise to love and cherish each other until death do them part.When a man and a woman get married ,it is one of the biggest decisions they will make in life. A man may select a woman because he ,in his own eyes ,sees her as the" just-right" wife for him. Every man has his own definition of what the "just-right" wife is. For instance ,the millionaire man and the poor man both may define their "just-right" wife according to her physical qualities.A millionaire may describe his "just-right" wife as charming ,beautiful ,sexy ,intelligent ,and well developed. On the other hand ,a poor man may define his "just-right" wife aspleasing ,attractive ,desirable ,knowledgeable ,and shapely. Both men describe their" just-right" wife by the same physical qualities but use different words.Although some men define the "just-right" wife by her physical qualities,other men describe their "just-right" wife by her athletic qualities.For example ,the outdoors man may define his "just-right" wife as a woman who loves to fish ,to camp ,to hunt ,and to water ski ,whereas the inside sportsman may define his "just-right" wife as a woman who enjoys watching football ,basketball ,baseball ,and wrestling. Both of these men define their" just-right" wife by her sports qualities but in two different atmospheres.Men from all nationalities also have their definition of the" just-right"wife. For example ,the Italian man describes his woman as a woman who stands six feet one inch tall with blonde hair and blue eyes ,and whois well developed in the upper portion of her body. On the other hand ,the French man may describe his ideal woman as a woman who stands only five feet three inches with brown hair and green eyes ,and who is moderately built.Other nationalities ,such as the German man .and the Spanish man , may define their" just-right" wifeas a woman with style. The German man may describe his "just-right" wife as a woman who likes to drive expensive sports cars ,a woman who visits a different foreign country every month and wears only the mostexpensive designer clothing. But the Spanish man may define his "just -right" wife as a woman who enjoys giving dinner parties every weekend ,wearing a lot of jewelry ,and drinking expensive wines.Unit1 Part 2 答案Part II- AA21.similar social backgrounds.2.the same race or same ethnic background.3.the same religion.A3Japan / 9.2% / arranged marriages3% / between blacks and whitesPart II - B1.physical appearance;2.what somebody looks like, ....., look beyond the physical appearance3.the high percentage of divorces.4.falling love with somebody,..... ,loving somebodyPart II - Cone of the biggest decisions they will make in life,as the "just-right" wife for him,definition of what the "just-right"wife is,the millionaire man and the poor man ,her physical qualities,different words,by her physical qualities,by her athletic qualities,in two different atmospheres,also have their definition of the "just-right" wife,the German man's definition is different from the Spanish man's.Unit1 Part 3 原文Part 3B Tapescript;Ka-kate Ke-Kerry Co-Coralyn J-Jill Ca-CaroleKa: I was on my way home from junior high and in order to get to my house you have to walk by this baseball diamond.

He looked for the girl whose heart he knew ,but whose face he didn't ,the girl with the rose. Hi s interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued ,not with the words of the book ,but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book ,he discovered the previous owner's name ,Miss Hollis Maynell.With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II. During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail.Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph ,but she refused. She felt that if he really cared ,it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return from Europe ,they scheduled their first meeting-7: 00 p. m. at the Grand Central Station in New York."You will recognize me ," she wrote ,"by the red rose I' ll be wearing on my lapel." So at 7: 00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved ,but whose face he'd never seen. I' ll let MrBlanchard tell you what happened.A young woman was coming toward me ,her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears. Her eyes were as blue flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness ,and in her pale green suit she was like spring time coming alive. I started toward her , entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved , a small ,provocative smile curved her lips. "Going my way ,sailor?" she murmured. Al most uncontrollably I made one step closer to her ,and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40 ,she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat... She was. more than plump ,her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away.I felt as though I was split into two ,so keen was my desire to follow her ,and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own. And there she stood. Her pale plump face was gentle and sensible ,her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her.This would not be love , but it would be something precious ,something perhaps even better than love.I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman ,even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment: "I' m Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?" The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about ,son ," she answered ,"but the young lady in the green suit who just went by ,she begged me to wear this rose on my coat.And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner ,I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street.She said it was some kind of test'" It' s not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom.Unit1 Part 4答案Part IVBook, choked, disappointment, take you to dinner, tolerant smile, went by, rose, big restaurant, test, understand and admireUnit2 Part 1 原文Part1ATapescript:1.TAURUS April 21-May 21 ,represented by a bull2.VIRGO August 23-September 23 ,represented by a young woman3.

They have also studied the development of the personality ,for example ,how a baby learns to love. In recent studies at two universities in the United States ,scientists have investigated the development of self-esteem.Self-esteem is the respect a person has for himself ,his belief in his ability and in the value of what he does. The scientists studied self-esteem in young boys. They gave them many tests. These tests measured the boys' abilities and also how they felt about their own abilities. After the tests ,the boys were divided into three groups - those with high self-esteem ,those with middle self-esteem and those with low self-esteem. The scientists continued to study the boys in all situations. They studied them at home ,at work ,inschool ,and with their friends.From their studies ,the scientists made some observations. Boys with high self-esteem were active. They were able to express their ideas. They were successful in school and in their relations with other people. In discussions ,they led. They didn't just listen.. They were interested in world problems. They were creative and believed that they could finish whatever they started. They seldom became tired or sick. In many ways , the boys with middle self-esteem were like the boys with high self-esteem. They too expressed their ideas freely and saw the world as a good and happy place. However ,they were not sure of their own value as people. They did their best work when they were sure that other people liked them. The boys with low self-esteem were different from the other two groups. They were sad most of the time. They were afraid to start activities. They felt that no one loved them. They could not express their ideas. They were afraid of anger.In a discussion ,they listened ,but they didn't talk.The scientists asked ,"How do some boys develop high self-esteem?" "What is different in their lives?" Some of the answers were surprising. High self-esteem did not depend upon physical appearance ,or money ,or size of family. It did not depend upon how much the mother was at home. The scientists found that there was a closeness between the boys with high self-esteem and their parents. Their parents showed real interest in them ,and spent time with them. They listened to their sons and gave them help when theboys asked for it.They knew their sons' friends. The sons knew that they were important to their parents. These parents demanded good behavior.They made definite rules. They were strict ,but not harsh. They corrected their sons' behavior by rewards ,not by punishment.They never took away their love. On the other hand ,the Parents of boys with low self-esteem let their sons do almost anything. If a boy made amistake ,the parents punished him harshly. The boys believed that their parents didn't love them. There were no definite rules. The family life of the boys with high self-esteem was democratic. The parents maderules ,but they led in a kind and thoughtful way. They showed respect for their children's ideas ,even when they did not agree with them. They let the boys give their opinions in discussions of family plans. These boys were productive citizens. Now these scientists are studying other groups of children. They want to learn how to help children with low self-esteem feel better about themselves. In this way ,these children can become productive citizens too.Unit2 Part 2 答案Part IIYoung boys1.

These people suffer from the common mental sickness known as depression. Depression can affect anyone. Researchers say one out of ten persons in the world has the chance of developing a major depression at some time.About 80 percent of the depressed patients can be helped with one of several drugs that have all been found effective in treating depression. Doctors say,however ,the drugs must be used very carefully .Depression also can be treated without drugs. Some doctors say that moderate activity four or five times a week can help treat minor depression. For example ,running or walking rapidly for 30 minutes four times a week can improve mental as well .as physical health. The traditional treatment for depression known as psycho-therapy calls for depressed people to spend an hour or more each week talking about their condition with doctor trained to treat mental problems. Discussion is supposed to help depressed people discover new ways of thinking and dealing with probles·。

英语听力入门3000第一册答案（12）

英语听力入门3000第一册答案（12）英语听力入门3000第一册答案Many cultures, including France and a number of Latin American countries, show approval by the thumb-up gesture. But in Bangladesh, the same sign means rejection, not approval! Two thumbs are better than one in Kenya, where this double sign means approval. The thumb and all fingertips pulled together ("the hand purse"), while waving toward the body, means "good" in Tunisia. Unfortunately, the same sign can also mean "Wait!"In many parts of the world, people often use hand clapping to show thanks or positive feelings. Greeks indicate approval or "yes" by tilting their heads to either side. Downward nodding can mean approval in Lebanon and Iran. In T onga, raising the eyebrows indicates agreement or liking.An Italian gesture of praise or happiness is he "", in which the person pokes his or her index finger into the cheek and twists it. Kissing one's own fingertips is a sign of happiness, joy, and utter approval of something or someone especially in Europe and Latin America.Gesture of DisapprovalGestures of disapproval, dislike, or "no" are just as varied. Mexico and Costa Rica use the gesture of shaking the whole hand from side to side with the index finger extended and the palm outward. A similar gesture is used all the way in Japan.In Bolivia and Hunduras, people wave the index finger as a negative sign. In labanon, negativity can also be expressed by shaking the index finger from side to side.Folks in Barbados express disgust by puckering their lips and making a sound (chupse). In Bangladesh, the thumbs-up sign isused to show disapproval or rejection, not approval. In Greece, Iran, and Italy, a slight upward not (the head toss) shows "no".In many countries around the globe, a common sigh for saying "Go away" is brushing the fingers or the hand toward the irritating person or thing. No wonder it is called the "brush-off". Part IVChina is the biggest market in the world, and many countries such as Germany, the USA, the UK and Russia do a lot of business there. Let's have a look at some important tips to help you be successful with these nationalities.Firstly, you must be punctual with Germans. Even 5 minutes late makes a bad impression. Being punctual is also very important in the USA. In the UK, it's important to be punctual for business meetings, but nobody expects you to be on time for a social event. Half past seven really means quarter to eight, or even eight o'clock! With Russians, always be on time, but don't besurprised if your Russian contact is very late! It is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!In all four countries, it is best to dress formally and use dark colors. In Russia, designer clothes are very common. Don't be surprised if you go to an office in the UK on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans. Many companies have "dress down Friday", when people wear casual clothes.In Germany, first names are only used with family members and close friends, so be prepared to use titles and last names. In the USA you will usually be invited to use first names almost immediately. The British are quite informal and using first names in business is more and more common, especially among younger people. In Russia, however, nobody uses first names, souse titles and last names.In conversation, the British and the Americans value humor, and both like to talk about sport. The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British. The Germans, however, prefer to get strait down to business!Finally, when doing business in all countries make sure you have a lot of business cards. Remember that in Germany, once a deal has been agreed, you can’t change it! In the USA, money is more important than relationships, whereas in Russia it’s important to get to know your contact well. Finally, don’t be surprised if a British meeting seems like chaos, with everybody participating and giving opinions!So, use these tips, and you will be on your way to s successful international business career!Unit 12Item oneDifferent people have different ways of learning. We call this your ―learning style‖, and it’s based on your senses. To learn, you need to use your different senses – hearing, seeing, touching, etc., to bring information to your brain. Now, most people use one of their senses more than the others.Some people learn best by listening. They are called hearing learners. And others learn best by reading or looking at pictures. They are called visual learners. And some learn best by touching and doing things. They are called tactile learners. Now scientists don’t know why people use one sense more than the others. Maybe the sense they use most just works best for them.下载文档。

Unit12 Dictation答案

Unit 12 DictationItem oneJudith Wallerstein studied 93 children over a generation. Her findings haven’t been published in a medical journal, only in her book.She says children of divorce are more likely to abuse drugs, and that 40 percent of them avoid mar riage themselves. When they do marry, fail at nearly twice the usual rate.Wallerstein’s families divorced a generation ago. Times have changed and with them the attitude t oward divorce and the attention to divorce’s innocent victims.“In our pare nts’ generation people who got divorced didn’t talk about it, they were embarrassed b y it.”Programs like Kid’s Turn try to mitigate some of the effects of divorce with family counseling. So the next generation more aware of the trauma may be better equipped to handle it..Item twoMondays are generally seen as the worst day of the week because people feel grumpy and tired at having to go back to work after a weekend with a different sleep pattern.However, it’s not all bad! Many people feel optimistic at this time, that things can only get better. Psychologists offer suggestions of how to combat feeling blue. These include spending 15 minutes doing “gratitude exercises” thinking about and writing down what you are grateful for, such as he alth, family, friends and so on.Taking up a new hobby, doing some exercise, going to bed earlier, eating a healthy breakfast, and l istening to some uplifting music, are all recommended as ways to feel more cheerful.Item threeWe are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of your fears are bro ught on by your own experience, by what someone has told you, or by what you’ve read in the pap ers. Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy relationships. Fears, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what’s holding you back, what’s keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.Item fourCollege graduation brings both the satisfaction of academic achievement and the expectation of a well-paying job. But for 6,000 graduates at San Jose State this year, there’s uncertainty as they e nter one of the worst job markets in decades. Ryan Stewart has a freshly minted degree in religious studies, but no job prospects.When the class of 2003 entered college the future never looked brighter. But in the four years they ’ve been here, the world outside these gates has changed dramatically.Ryan Stewart may just end up going back to school.“I’d like to teach college some day and that requires going to more school, which would be great in a bad economy.”To some students a degree may not be the ticket to instant wealth. For now, they can only hope tha t its value will increase over time.Item fiveOn February 28th, 2003, the Vietnam-France Hospital in Hanoi asked Carlo Urbani for help. The I talian doctor was an expert on communicable diseases. He was based in Vietnam for the World He alth Organization.The hospital asked Doctor Urbani to help identify an unusual infection. He recognized it as a new threat. He made sure other hospitals increased their infection-control measures.On March 11th, Doctor Urbani developed signs of severe acute respiratory syndrome. Four days la ter, the World Health Organization declared it a worldwide health threat.Carlo Urbani was the first doctor to warn the world of the disease that became known as SARS. H e died of it on March 29th, 2003. He was 46 years old.Item sixLance Armstrong was born on September 18, 1971. Athletic from the start, Lance became a profes sional athlete by the age of 16. Lance entered this first Tour de France in 1995. Unfortunately, in O ctober of 1996, everything changed. Lance was diagnosed with testicular cancer. With chances of r ecovery less than 50%, Lance began a course of treatment that would include two surgeries and ch emotherapy. Remarkably, though, just five months after his initial diagnoses, Lance was back on a bike rebuilding the strength he had lost. Lance went on to fully recover and, amazingly, win the T our de France a record seven times since his bout with cancer. He is a beacon of hope and source o f inspiration.Item sevenThe latest fashion on British TV is Reality TV. Reality TV means that shows follow and film ordin ary people in 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 stran gers have to live together in a house for 11 weeks. They are filmed 24 hours a day, and shown on t elevision. Each week, the viewers vote to evict one of the housemates. Finally, only one is left, an d they win the prize money – 50,000 pounds!The snow 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.Item eightA number of big chain stores in China are trying to popularize cotton shopping bags to reduce the amount of plastic ones being thrown away.However, the China Youth Daily reports that the cotton shopping bags are not selling well, becaus e people still prefer free plastic ones.The paper says it’s not wise to charge for these cotton bags, and supermarkets should think about h ow to encourage customers to use them by making it more convenient and cheaper. The paper sug gests that supermarkets provide the cotton bags for free and encourage people to reuse them. Meanwhile, the paper also gives advice on how to reduce costs for supermarkets selling these cott on shopping bags. It says they should encourage donations from businesses to print advertisements on the sides.Item nineMore than 160,000 people died or disappeared in northern Sumatra on December 26, 2004, when t owering waves battered the coast.

英语听力入门1unit12--dictation答案教案资料

英语听力入门1u n i t12--d i c t a t i o n答案Different people have different ways of learning. We call this your “learning style,”and it’s based on your senses. To learn, you need to use your different senses—hearing, seeing, touching, etc., to bring information to your brain. Now, most people use one of their senses more than the others.Some people learn best by listening. They are called hearing learners. And others learn best by reading or looking at pictures. They are called visual learners. And some learn best by touching and doing things. They are called tactile learners. Now scientists don’t know why people use one sense more than the others. Maybe the sense they use most just works best for them.2Today, we tell about one of the most famous national parks in the United States. It is one of the most beautiful places in the county. Yosemite National Park is a place of extremes. It has high mountains. It has valleys formed ancient ice that cut deep into the Earth millions of years ago. Water from high in the mountains falls in many places to the green valley far below. There are thirteen beautiful waterfalls in Yosemite Valley. One of these waterfalls, Yosemite Falls，is the fifth highest on Earth.Yosemite has a beautiful slow-moving river and large grassy areas where you can see wild animals.3America’s national road system makes it possible to drive coast to coast. From the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west is a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers. Or you could drive more than two thousand kilometers and go from the Canadian border south to the Mexican border. The highway system has made it possible for people to work in a city and live outside it. And it has made it possible for people to travel easily and quickly from one parts of the country to anther.4The way you look at someone conveys important cultural messages. Without your even knowing it, your gaze speaks volumes. “The eyes are the window of the soul,”according to the old saying. Staring is acceptable in some cultures but not in others. A wink can mean a compliment or an insult, depending on the culture. A direct gaze can be a sign of honesty or an indication of disrespect and rudeness, according to the culture that surrounds the gazer. The way a person gazes thus expresses a strong message—but this message can be easily misunderstood if cultural norms are not shared.5This time of the year Americans spend lots of time shopping for holiday gifts for their family members and friends. Many people visit a lot of stores in large shopping centers to buy their gifts. Others order goods by telephone from catalogues, the magazines that offer company’s products. And many are doing their holiday shopping on the Internet. Industry experts say American businesses should have about 184,000 million dollars in sales during November and December. 63% of people who use the Internet say they expect to buy at least some gifts there.IOC stands for International Olympic Committee, which governs the Olympicsin general. It was founded in Paris on 23 June 1894. Its headquarters are in the Swiss city of Lausanne. Its official languages are English and French. IOC members come from five different continents--Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. They choose Olympic cities six years in advance. All the Olympic movement’s rules are contained in a book called The Olympic Charter. There’s an Olympic museum and Studies Center in Lausanne. It contains posters, documents, medals, books, photos, paintings, films and sculptures.7There are far too many road accidents in this country, too many deaths and too many people injured. One wonders who are most to blame, drivers or pedestrians. Some people say that the blame cannot be put fairly without considering the state of the roads and the whole transport system. On the other hand, many experts are convinced that the larger part of the blame for the death toll must be put on persons and persons alone. To be fair, pedestrians, drivers and road conditions are all to blame. One looks forward to the day when the motor-car has been replaced by some less dangerous means of transport.8Petroleum has been important since ancient times. In Latin, the name means “rock oil.” Petroleum is a fossil fuel. The liquid comes from the remains of plants and animals that died millions of years ago. These remains were buried deep below levels of rock over time and under great pressure. This geological process created complex molecules of hydrogen and carbon. Oil can also contain other elements. Crude oil, or unprocessed petroleum, is called sour when it contains a lot of sulfur, an impurity. Sour crude requires more refining than sweet crude, which is often more valuable.9In September of 2000, world leaders set eight goals for bringing millions of people out of poverty. These became known as the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Among them: cut in half the number of people living on less than one dollar a day and halt the spread of AIDS and malaria. The goals also include improving survival rates for pregnant women and young children, and educating all children. Working for equality between women and men and dealing with environmental needs like safe water also are included. The target date for reaching the goals is 2015.10One way to think about time is to imagine a world without time. There could be no movement, because time and movement cannot be separated. A world without time could exist only as long as there were no changes. For time and change are linked. We know that time has passed when something changes. In the real world—the world with time—changes never stop. Some changes happen only once in a while, like an eclipse of the moon. Others happen repeatedly, like the rising and setting of the sun. Humans always have noted natural events that repeat themselves. When people began to count such events, they began to measure time.The World Future Society has published a special report about forces changing the world. One of them is population growth. The report says the world is expected to have more than nine thousand million people by the middle of this century. Population growth in many industrial nations, however, is expected to drop. But medical progress helps their people to live longer lives. International migration is also shaping the future. The report says there is some resistance, but also growing acceptance of cultural differences. The world economy is also becoming more integrated. On the issue of energy, the use of oil is expected to reach 110 million barrels a day by 2020.。

London teachers are now in the second week oftheir strike for better pay. Tim Burston, BBC correspondentfor education was there.Lesson 18DictationMrs. Brink: Come in. Oh, it's you again. Tom. What have you done thistime?Tom: I've cut my finger and it's bleeding a lot.Mrs. Brink: Let me see, Tom... Hmmm, that is a bad cut. I can clean itand put a plaster on it, but you'll have to see the doctor.Lesson 19DictationDoctor Sowanso is the Secretary General of the United Nations. He’s one of the busiest men in the world.

When people see it or hear the name we want them to think of luxury. There are many ways to do this. You show a woman in a fur coat, in a silkevening dress, maybe covered in diamonds. You can show an expensive car, an expensive restaurant, or a man in a tuxedo. We decided to do something different. We show a beautiful woman, simply but elegantly dressed, beside a series of paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, and it works. Because she is wearing the perfume, and because she is next to expensive and beautiful paintings, our perfume must be beautiful and expensive too. It does work.Lesson 22DictationI have always been interested in making things. When I wasa child I used to enjoy painting, but I also liked making things out of clay. I managed to win a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. That is probably the reasonthat I managed to get into art college four years later. But I studied painting at first, not pottery. I like being a potter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay, I enjoy working on a potter’s wheel. I’m happy working by myself and being near my home. I don’t like mass—produced things. I think crafts and craftspeople are very important. When I left college I managed to get grant from the Council, and I hope to become a full—time craftswoman. This workshopis small, but I hope to move to a larger one next year.Lesson 23DictationAre you a morning person or an evening person? That's the question. When do you work best? For me the answer is easy. I work best in the morning. All my creative work is done before lunchtime. I get up at about eight, and then have breakfast. I listen to the radio a bit, and read the papers. And then I start. Usually I work from nine or nine--thirty until twelve but after that I'm useless. On a good day I write fifteen hundred words or more, sometimes two thousand words, in the morning. Then after lunch I go for a walk, or read. In the evening I like to relax, go to the pub or out and meet people. If you're a writer you need self--discipline. But if you're tired, it shows: the mind and body must be fresh.。

Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping.

Tennis clothing has become an important item in fashion world.Early in history tennis was the sport of kings and if one or two of those kings were still ruling today, perhaps no one would be playing the game now. The French king Charles V loved to play tennis, but he was very fat and must have been a funny sight on the tennis court. One day he overheard two women laughing at him as he played and he immediately banned the sport. In England, Henry 1V stopped people from playing tennis because the church leaders of his time were angry that women wore less clothing when they played.

It is an indoor game, and the season extends from late fall, through the winter, to early spring. There are many professional teams, but for the most part basketball is a school sport. There is hardly a high school or college in the country that does not have its team and its loyal fans.In spring and summer, the most popular sport is baseball. During the warm weather you can see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the country. Radio and television bring the details of the big games to every comer of the land, and the activities of the professional teams are a topic of conversation for Americans everywhere.In the fall, the most popular sport is football. As you know, this is not the same kind of game that is so popular in other parts of the word. Like basketball and baseball, it is typically American, and those who have never seen it before have difficulty seeing any sense in it. But for most of the spectators the game itself is not so important as the music, the cheering, and the festive spirit that go with it.I.

But a new study has shown that exercise could be unhealthy, especially for people past middle age. The study wasdone with mice. It showed that although mild (xo.适度的) exercise had a good effect on the muscles of young mice, it harmed the muscles of mice past middle age.The three groups of mice in the experiment aimed in age at young, middle-aged, and elderly humans. The mice were placed on a treadmill (~'~) 30 minutes a day for a five-week period. At the end of that time, the young mice's leg muscles had increased almost 30 percent in weight, but those of the old mice were reduced by 25 percent. No clear pattern showed for the middle-aged mice. David Gershon, an expert who carded out the experiment, explained that the older mice's muscles were probably already breaking down and that exercise worsened the condition. An earlier study by Gershon showed that middle-aged mice benefited from exercise if they started exercising young and continued it.It's clear that because the tests were done on mice, drawing conclusions about human is too early. But the studies do not totally support the theory that exercise is good under any condition. Let's use the tests on mice as a bridge for other studies. Listen to the passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions you hear.1. Why were the mice of different ages used in the study ( C )2. Where were the mice placed ( D )3. What effect did the exercise have on the older mice's muscles ( B )4. Which of the following is the most proper title for the passage ( A ) I5. What was the purpose of experimenting with mice ( D )Passage TwoFootballDo you like playing football Football is the world's most popular game, played in more countries than any other sport. Football has been an Olympic game since 1900. And now it is getting more and more popular all over the world.In 1900, football became one of the first team sports included in the Olympic Games. Duringthe 2000 Sydney Games, the sport celebrated 100 years of Olympic football. Women's football was introduced at the 1996 Olympic Games, where the final attracted a world record crowd for a women's sporting event of 76,000 people. Olympic women footballers must be at least 16 years old.The modem game of football started with the foundation of the Football Association of England in 1863. The ancient Chinese, Greeks and Romans played a similar game, long before English kings the 1300s and 1400s were trying to outlaw the violent sport. Professionals are allowed in the men's tournament. Rules restrict players under 23 years 01d with the exception of three over-age players. At the Athens 2004 Olympic Games there will be an increase in the number of women's teams from 8 to 10. The men's tournament will not change and be set at 16 teams.Listen to the passage and answer the following questions.1. When did football find its way into Olympic GamesIn 1900.2. When was women's football introduced at the Olympic gamesIn 1996.3. How old should Olympic women footballer beAt least 16 years old.4. When was the Football Association of England foundedIn 1863.5.

Listen and retell it.She Deserves It!My friend and I were playing baseball last week, and we went to a baseball field. My girlfriend was with us, but she decided that she wanted to take a nap in the outfield. So she took a blanket and she was laying down. She was pretty much out of the way. She was in the safe place for the most part. A little bit later in the afternoon, my friend was batting and I was pitching, I threw the ball and he hit the ball relatively close to her. She was sleeping and she had no idea the ball was coming towards her, so I started yelling and the ball just missed her. I saw the ball just missed her, I started yelling at her to move. She wouldn't listen to me. She was just sleeping saying that everything was okay. I got fed up and thought,"If a ball hits her she deserves it .She deserves to be hit she's being too stubborn." So I said to my friend, "Nick, you know what, go ahead and hit her. She deserves it." On the very next pitch, he hit the ball really hard and it hit fight into my leg and dropped me. I fell down in a serious pain. My girlfriend came running over. It was very ironic. He'd hit me so hard that the stitching on the baseball left imprint on my leg that lasted for about two days.。

1Different people have different ways of learning. We call this your “learning style,” and it’s based on your senses. To learn, you need to use your different senses—hearing, seeing, touching, etc., to bring information to your brain. Now, most people use one of their senses more than the others.Some people learn best by listening. They are called hearing learners. And others learn best by reading or looking at pictures. They are called visual learners. And some learn best by touching and doing things. They are called tactile learners. Now scientists don’t know why people use one sense more than the others. Maybe the sense they use most just works best for them.2Today, we tell about one of the most famous national parks in the United States. It is one of the most beautiful places in the county. Yosemite National Park is a place of extremes. It has high mountains. It has valleys formed ancient ice that cut deep into the Earth millions of years ago. Water from high in the mountains falls in many places to the green valley far below. There are thirteen beautiful waterfalls in Yosemite Valley. One of these waterfalls, Yosemite Falls，is the fifth highest on Earth. Yosemite has a beautiful slow-moving river and large grassy areas where you can see wild animals.3America’s national road system makes it possible to drive coast to coast. From the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west is a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers. Or you could drive more than two thousand kilometers and go from the Canadian border south to the Mexican border. The highway system has made it possible for people to work in a city and live outside it. And it has made it possible for people to travel easily and quickly from one parts of the country to anther.4The way you look at someone conveys important cultural messages. Without your even knowing it, your gaze speaks volumes. “The eyes are the window of the soul,” according to the old saying. Staring is acceptable in some cultures but not in others. A wink can mean a compliment or an insult, depending on the culture. A direct gaze can be a sign of honesty or an indication of disrespect and rudeness, according to the culture that surrounds the gazer. The way a person gazes thus expresses a strong message—but this message can be easily misunderstood if cultural norms are not shared.5This time of the year Americans spend lots of time shopping for holiday gifts for their family members and friends. Many people visit a lot of stores in large shopping centers to buy their gifts. Others order goods by telephone from catalogues, the magazines that offer company’s products. And many are doing their holiday shopping on the Internet. Industry experts say American businesses should have about 184,000 million dollars in sales during November and December. 63% of people who use the Internet say they expect to buy at least some gifts there.6IOC stands for International Olympic Committee, which governs the Olympics in general. It was founded in Paris on 23 June 1894. Its headquarters are in the Swiss city of Lausanne. Its official languages are English and French. IOC members come from five different continents--Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. They choose Olympic cities six years inadvance. All the Olympic movement’s rules are contained in a book called The Olympic Charter. There’s an Olympic museum and Studies Center in Lausanne. It contains posters, documents, medals, books, photos, paintings, films and sculptures.7There are far too many road accidents in this country, too many deaths and too many people injured. One wonders who are most to blame, drivers or pedestrians. Some people say that the blame cannot be put fairly without considering the state of the roads and the whole transport system. On the other hand, many experts are convinced that the larger part of the blame for the death toll must be put on persons and persons alone. To be fair, pedestrians, drivers and road conditions are all to blame. One looks forward to the day when the motor-car has been replaced by some less dangerous means of transport.8Petroleum has been important since ancient times. In Latin, t he name means “rock oil.”Petroleum is a fossil fuel. The liquid comes from the remains of plants and animals that died millions of years ago. These remains were buried deep below levels of rock over time and under great pressure. This geological process created complex molecules of hydrogen and carbon. Oil can also contain other elements. Crude oil, or unprocessed petroleum, is called sour when it contains a lot of sulfur, an impurity. Sour crude requires more refining than sweet crude, which is often more valuable.9In September of 2000, world leaders set eight goals for bringing millions of people out of poverty. These became known as the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Among them: cut in half the number of people living on less than one dollar a day and halt the spread of AIDS and malaria. The goals also include improving survival rates for pregnant women and young children, and educating all children. Working for equality between women and men and dealing with environmental needs like safe water also are included. The target date for reaching the goals is 2015.10One way to think about time is to imagine a world without time. There could be no movement, because time and movement cannot be separated. A world without time could exist only as long as there were no changes. For time and change are linked. We know that time has passed when something changes. In the real world—the world with time—changes never stop. Some changes happen only once in a while, like an eclipse of the moon. Others happen repeatedly, like the rising and setting of the sun. Humans always have noted natural events that repeat themselves. When people began to count such events, they began to measure time.11The World Future Society has published a special report about forces changing the world. One of them is population growth. The report says the world is expected to have more than nine thousand million people by the middle of this century. Population growth in many industrial nations, however, is expected to drop. But medical progress helps their people to live longer lives. International migration is also shaping the future. The report says there is some resistance, but also growing acceptance of cultural differences. The world economy is also becoming more integrated. On the issue of energy, the use of oil is expected to reach 110 million barrels a day by 2020.。
