I'm a freshman at Peking University and I'm majoring in chemistry. At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several years ago and I'm getting better at it. My favorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big problem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me. But I've decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. I'm a library science major at the National University of Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of the official languages and you have to be fluent in English to get a good job.I've been studying English since high school. I'm good at reading because I like learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and articles written in English. Our textbooks at the university are in English, too. I know writing is also very important, but I find it really difficult.When I graduate from the university I would like a job in the city library where I can read all kinds of new books.Part CHow to Improve Listening ComprehensionAmong the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, I find listening most difficult because I worry about the words I don't know. Now I'm trying to focus on the general idea, not worrying about the new words. This makes me feel good, because I know I've understood something. Then, I listen again carefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult parts again. In this way I come to understand better both the main idea and the details of the listening text.Unit 2Part ADialogue 1:—It's a really wonderful evening. Thank you very much for inviting us.—I'm glad you enjoyed it.—Maybe we could get together sometime at my home.—Sounds nice.Dialogue 2:—Great party, isn't it?—Yeah, really.—You look familiar to me. Have we met before?—I'm afraid not.Dialogue 3:—I'm afraid I have to go now.—So soon? Well, I enjoyed our talk together.—Me too.Dialogue 4:—Excuse me, could you tell me the time?—It's half past 5 by my watch.—Thank you very much.—You're welcome.Dialogue 5:—Is this seat taken?—Oh, let me move my stuff.—Aren't you Jack Brown? I'm Bill, Bill Stone.—Oh, hello, Bill. Fancy meeting you here!Dialogue 6:—Hi, Jack. So good to see you.—Oh, hi, Andy. It's been quite a while since we saw each other last. How're things with you?—Just fine. What've you been doing these years?—Well, I've been studying for my PhD degree here at the university.—That's wonderful.Statement 1:May I introduce Miss Jones to you?Statement 2:John Davis was born in California in 1930.Statement 3:I can't agree with you more.Statement 4:My birthday is on June 20th.Statement 5:Paul, is your sister married?Statement 6:Look, here comes Mr. Black, our sales manager.Statement 7:Bob isn't in the library right now.Statement 8:Mr. Taylor is said to be leaving for South Africa soon.Statement 9:Pass me the beer, please.Statement 10:I was wondering if you could help Anna with her music lessons.Part BHow to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors. Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that's the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But others, such as age, money or people's appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation.Weather -- It sure is cold today, isn't it?News -- Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn't always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, "Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn't catch it." Or "Could you speak more slowly, please?"At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. "Well, I really need to be going", or "It was nice talking to you" are frequently used by people to end a conversation.Part CHow to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors.

What would the student probably do right after the conversation?Part CWhat College Professors DoCollege professors are often believed to lead easy lives of quiet thinking while teaching one or two classes every week. But college professors do much more than go to class. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly. And that same college professor works from sixty to eighty hours a week.Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which they revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare notes than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experiments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions.When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behind closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrow's classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must feel strongly about the importance of the college experience.Statements:1. College professors actually lead a busy life, while teaching.2. Usually professors spend about sixty to eighty hours a week in the classroom.3. Professors spend part of their time in reading and studying, because they always feel their knowledge needs to be improved and updated.4. College professors have to do all kinds of things besides their usual load of teaching.5. In order to remain as professors, they may spend their time in writing books and articles.6. Professors are always working when not in the classroom or in the office.7. Professors have to accept their busy schedule willingly, if they want to be qualified for their jobs.Unit 4Part ADialogue 1:(At a party)A: Great party, isn't it?B: Yeah, super.

And two others were frayed at the edges.As you can imagine, Mrs. White was very angry and she went back immediately to complain. When she arrived, the store was closed and two other angry ladies were waiting outside. One of them told Mrs. Whitethat she had bought some towels that morning, and the other lady said that she had purchased a linen tablecloth. In both cases the goods were defective. A little later some other women joined them, and they all told the same story.Finally the storekeeper appeared and let them in. The poor man looked very worried.

That means you cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place. You need to go to a specialroom called the reserve room. It's down the hall and to the right.Student: I'm sorry—I still don't understand what you mean by on reserve.Librarian: You see, your professor wants everyone in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of the otherstudents will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor has insured thatall students have the opportunity to read it by placing it on reserve.Student: So, will I be able to find this book?Librarian: Yes, when a book is on reserve, a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve librarian for the book. The student can have the book for a few hours, andhe or she MUST read it in the library during that time. That way, the book stays inthe library, and all students have a chance to read it.Student: OK. Thank you. I understand now.Librarian: Will there be anything else?Student: No! I am on my way to the reserve room. Thanks again!KeyA. Answer the following questions.1)What's the student's problem?Key: According to the syllabus, the book he is looking for is in the library, but he couldn't find it.2)What's the meaning of "on reserve"?Key: That means the student cannot find the book on the shelves in its usual place.She/He needs to go to a special room called the reserve room.3)Why does the professor put the books on reserve?Key: The professor wants every one in the class to read the chapter.

Most universities will not accept students without this test. It is also used to help decide how much financial aid should be given to each student.Scores range from 200 to 800 for each part. There is a total of 1,600 points. The test is held every year from October to June. But seniors must take it before December in order to include their scores in their university applications. The average total score for an American high school student is around 1,000.A poor SAT score can prevent a student from going to a good university. Students who want to go to one of American's best universities, such as Harvard or Yale, must score between 1,430 and 1,600.The test can be taken over and over again, but all the scores will appear on the students' records. However, unlike Chinese universities, the score is not the only thing needed. American universities also look at a student's subject grades, what they do outside of school, and their teachers' recommendations.In addition to the SAT I, some universities require high school students to take at least three SATⅡs. These one-hour exams can be taken in any subject, for example chemistry or French.KeyA.

The university entrance exam is a standard nationwide test held every year in January. It provides tests for 31 subjects in six subject areas: Japanese language, geography and history, civics, math, science and a foreign language. All national and public universities, as well as some private ones make use of this exam. But many places also have their own tests in February or later, before the new school year starts in April.In order to pass the exam for the best universities such as the National University of Tokyo, many students attend special preparation schools on top of their regular classes. These extra schools can last for one to two years between high school and university.Although every student has the chance of going to a Japanese university, only 50 percent of high school seniors actually choose further study.KeyA.

大学英语听说教程1听力原文Unit 1 ListeningPart 11. W: Good morning, can I help you?M: Yes, I'd like to inquire about the English courses offered here. W: Sure, we have various levels of courses tailored to different needs. Let me give you a brochure.2. M: How was your weekend?W: I had a really great time. I went hiking with my friends in the mountains.3. W: Hi Tom, I haven't seen you for ages! How have you been?M: I've been pretty busy with my job. How about you?4. M: Excuse me, could you tell me where the nearest post office is? W: Sure. Go straight down this street and you'll see it on yourleft-hand side.5. W: Did you hear about the Eastern Music Festival happening next month?M: Yes, I heard about it. I'm planning to go and enjoy some live performances.Part 2Passage 1Just picture this: You're walking down the street, coffee in hand, feeling good and confident. Suddenly, you trip and spill your coffee all over yourself. Embarrassing, right? But don't worry,everyone has unpleasant experiences like this sometimes. The key is to handle them with grace. Instead of panicking or feeling ashamed, try to stay calm and remember that accidents happen to everyone. Clean yourself up, laugh it off, and move on. People around you will admire your composure.Passage 2Feeling stressed out? Taking a walk outdoors may be just what you need. According to a recent study, spending time in nature can reduce stress and increase happiness. When you're surrounded by nature, your brain enters a state of relaxation, allowing you to focus better and be more creative. So next time you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, take a break and go for a walk in the park. You'll come back feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever challenges come your way.。

But before you go, you should make a plan to help you be better prepared. Here are some tips.Firstly, the weather in Thailand is hot and humid all year, so you should pack sunglasses, T-shirts, and sandals with you. Secondly, you should buy your plane ticket early. Thailand is the very popular place for a vacation, and the planes are very full. Thirdly, the traffic in this country is very bad and people drive really fast, so you should rent a car. Another tip is that you should drink a lot of water and juice to stay cool. Finally, and this is a very important tip, you shouldn‟t take photos outside in the afternoon. I t‟s too sunny and bright! Remember these tips and you‟ll have a great time there. Have fun in Thailand!Optional Listening 3Watch the Weather!Most people plan their vacations very carefully. They think a lot of about plane tickets, passports, hotel reservations. But they often forget about one important thing --- the weather. You should learn about right time to visit your vacation spot. Here is some information to help you plan your next vacation.Italy. The weather is sunny all year, but it sometimes cold in winter. April and May are warm and beautiful. From June to September, it's very hot.Australia. Summer here is from December to April. It sometimes rains, but the weather is usually very good. In winter, it snows a little in some places, but most of Australia isn‟t very cold.Hong Kong, China. The weather is hot and very humid here a lot of the year. In July and August, it's sometimes very windy and there are bad storms. October and November are warm and not humid, but in December and January, it gets very chilly sometimes.Germany. From November to April, the weath er is cold, cloudy and snowy. In spring, it‟s warm, but there is a lot of rain. July and August are usually warm and sunny.India. You shouldn‟t travel to India from June to September. There is a lot of rain everywhere. From November to April, after the rainy season, the weather is nice and cold. In April and May, it often gets very hotOptional Listening 4In Tokyo, it is an envelope with $850,000 in cash. At Florida Disney World, it's a glass eye. At a hotel in England, it's a goat and a false leg. Here are these things similar? They are unusual things that people leave in hotel rooms, in airports, and on city streets. Irish Martino works in the Lost and Found Center at the airport in a US city. “Sure, we find the usual stuff --- cell phones, keys, sungla sses and wallets,” she says, “But people also forget some weird things at the airport, too.” What does Ms. Martino find? A woman‟s false teeth in the bathroom. A mannequin in an airport waiting area. “How do you forget those things?” Ms. Martino wonders. N obuo Hasuda works for the Lost and Found Center in downtown Tokyo .The Center has almost 800,000 items. 300,000 of them are umbrellas! There are also many other things --- jewelry and briefcases, snowshoes, and musical instruments. Mr. Hasuda keeps the lost things for six months and two weeks. After this time, the finder can take the items. This is good luck for some people. Remember the envelope in Tokyo with $850,000? The owner didn‟t claim it. Now the money belongs to the finder!Optional Listening 5Roberto is packing for a trip and Mike is helping him. Mike asks about the souvenirs that Roberto brings for his family. Roberto explains that the book is for his niece and small Statue of liberty belongs to his father. Roberto says that he's ready to go, but then Milk finds a teddy bear and asks whose it is. Roberto says that it belongs to him and explains that it was a gift from Claudia, so he always trowels with it. Mike says he thinks the bear makes a cute travel partner for Roberto.Unit 3Track 1-3-1A: Hi, Mike.

She is always training --- even on weekends.A: What about your parents?Mike: My dad plays tennis and my mom plays golf.A: And what about you, Mike? Do you play any sports?Mike: Me? Not really. I liked surfing, skiing, but just for fun.Optional Listening 1Dad: Ashley?Ashley: Yeah, Dad! I am in my room. I‟m packing.Dad: Hi, honey, I can not believe you are going to college!Ashley: I know.Dad: So, what do you want to study?Ashley: Art.Dad: Art!? Come on, Ashley. Be serious.Ashley: I am serious, Dad.Dad: I think you should study business so you can get a good job.Ashley: Business!?Dad: Yes, you are a smart, organized young woman. It is perfect for you.Ashley: But, Dad ... there is a lot I can do with an art degree. The business world is very competitive...Dad: I do not know, Ashley...Ashley: Come on Dad. Let us look at the university website. There‟s more information there.Optional Listening 2A: I interviewed Sara Foxx.

He wants to make a good salary and he loves to travel.A: Well, Sara hates to fly. It seems Jason would be the person we need.B: Unfortunately, he doesn‟t have any sales experience.Optional Listening 3I‟m Don Pierce. A good actor works very, very hard. People think that actors spend their time at a lot o f parties and nightclubs, but that isn‟t true. Actors spend hours --- many hours --- studying their lines for each movie. And you really have to understand people so that you can understand your character in the movie.I‟m Janice. I think the most importan t thing for a good doctor is being a good listener. You have to understand people and their problems. A good doctor likes to solve problems and always wants to help his or her patients. And you can‟t be impulsive --- you should always be careful. Sometimes the first answer you think of isn‟t the right answer. Doctors need a lot of energy, because they are usually hardworking.Hi, I‟m Daniel. To be a success in business, you have to work well with groups of people. At the same time, you need to have strong opinions and be able to explain your opinions clearly. Good business-people always like to make new things and try new ideas. They are very organized, and they work very long hours.Optional Listening 4The DreamerA dreamer thinks there is a “right” way to do things. This person wants to live in the “perfect world”. A dreamer is often hardworking and organized. Many are good listeners and like to help others. Many dreamers work as teachers, lawyers, and in leadership roles.The PartnerA partner wants to be in a group. For this person, rules and group harmony are important. These rules keep peace in the group. Partners are often serious, careful people. Many do well as teachers, managers, police officers, and politicians.The ThinkerFor thinkers, understanding things is very important. They like to solve problems and make new things. Thinkers can also be competitive. They are independent and often have very strong opinions. Many thinkers work as scientists, inventors, politicians, and engineers.The ArtistArtists want to be free. They don‟t want to follow the rules all the time. Artist like action and are often impulsive. They also like trying new things. Like thinkers, many artists have strong opinions. Many artists are creative and do well as musicians, actors, fashion designers, and athletes.Optional Listening 5Claudia and Sun-hee are watching a baseball game and start to talk about sports. Claudia says that she plays baseball five or six times a year. Sun-hee says that she often goes swimming and loves to play tennis. She also says that she's not very competitive and just wants to have fun. When a baseball player invites them to play, Sun-hee asks if the game is serious or for fun. The man says it's for fun, so Claudia and Sun-hee agree to play. But then while she is telling everyone how athletic she and Sun-hee are, Claudia falls off the bench!Unit 4Track 1-4-1Paula: Wow, another year is over!Mick: I know. Happy New Year, Paula!Paula: Same too you, Mick. So do you have any New Year‟s resolutio ns?Mick: Yeah. This year, I want to get a new job.Paula: Really?Mick: Yeah. I make good money now, but the hours are long. How about you? What‟s your New Year‟s resolution?Paula: I‟m not sure. This year I want to meet some new people and do something f un.Mick: Like what?Paula: I don‟t know. Maybe I need a hobby.Mick: Well, what do you like to do?Paula: I love to dance. I‟d like to study modern dance.Mick: You should take a class. Then you can do something fun and meet other people, too. Paula: That‟s a good idea!Optional Listening 1Interviewer: And, welcome back to KPLX radio in Los Angeles. We‟re talking this morning with Europe‟s hottest singer, Yeliz. Thanks for joining us.Yeliz: Sure, hello, Los Angeles!Interviewer: So, tell us a little about yourself, Yeliz. Where are you from exactly?Yeliz: I was born in Istanbul, but I live in Scotland now. My dad‟s Scottish. My mom‟s Turkish. Interviewer: You‟re only 17. What‟s it like being successful at your age?Yeliz: It‟s pretty exciting. I get to travel, and meet some interesting people.Interviewer: You‟re touring now, but what are your plans for the future?Yeliz: After the tour, I want to take a break. Then, later this year, I plan to make a new CD. Interviewer: Do you have any advice for other young artists?Yeliz: Well, I‟d say, follow your dreams, work hard, and you can be successful.Optional Listening 2If you want to become a successful business person, you should do three things. First, you should think about your goals every day. Make plans for today, tomorrow and next year. Second, you should join a business club. You can learn a lot from the other members, and they can give you good advice. Third, you shouldn‟t work every night and every weekend. Sometimes you should take a break. You get more energy and ideas when you relax. And you need a lot of energy and ideas to make money!Optional Listening 3Find your dreamWe all have dreams, but some people actually make their dreams come true. Their secret? They quit dreaming. And they start doing. Even a very big dream starts with small steps, and small goals. Maybe your dream is to become a doctor. Start by thinking about small goals for yourself. Ask, “What can I do today?” You can‟t start medical school today, but you can send e-mails and make phone calls to get information about medical schools. Make a list of schools to call, and then call a few of them every day. What do you need for your dream? Tell friends and family members --- many of them can help you. For example, you want to become an artist. You need a lot of cheap paper for drawing. Maybe your friend‟s brother throws away a lot of big paper at his office. So, share your dream with the world! Another good idea is talking to people who are doing your dream job. Do you dream about having your own restaurant? Go to a favorite restaurant and ask the owner lots of questions. Most people like to talk about their work.Optional Listening 4A life-time dreamEveryone has his or her own dream jobs. Let‟s listen to Yi Wang, a 29-year-old young teacher, and Hicham Nassir, who are going to talk about their dream jobs.“At the moment, I‟m teaching chemistry at a university in Beijing. It‟s a good job, but my dream is to make films. In China, young artists move to Beijing from all over the country. Many of them are painters, writers, and actors. I‟d like to make a film about their lives and their work.” Wang is writing the film now with help from her friends. But it isn‟t easy. “At the moment, the biggest problem is money,” explains Wang. “We don‟t have much.” But this isn‟t going to stop Wang and her partners. She says, “First, we are going to make this movie. Then, we‟d like to show it in China and, maybe someday, at film festivals around the world.”16-year-old Hicham Nassir is a soccer pla yer. He‟s getting ready for a soccer match with his teammates. Hicham, the team‟s star player, is a native of Morocco. He now lives in London with his family. “My parents want me to go to college, and major in business or law,” he explains. “They want me to become a lawyer or a successful businessman.

Sometimes I drive to school and the traffic is terrible.Optional Listening 2A city for a vacationSingapore is a great city for vacation. There are a lot of interesting things to see. You can visit Chinatown and Little India and go shopping on Orchard Road. Singapore also has many good restaurants. There are some great beaches for swimming near the city, and the parks are really beautiful. The city has very good public transportation--- you can take a bus, train or subway. It is a safe city and there is not much crime. It‟s also a clean city .There is not much pollution .The only problem is that Singapore is expensive. The population of Singapore is approximately 4.84 million. With a medley of Chinese, Indian and Malay influences and a tropical climate, tasty food, good shopping and vibrant nightlife scene, this Garden City makes a great stopover or springboard into the region.Optional Listening 3Choosing a CityIstanbul is a very unusual city --- one part is in Europe, and the other part is in Asia. About 9 million people live there. Visitors love Istanbul because it has many beautiful, old buildings and the food is great. At night, the seafood restaurants are very popular. And everything in Istanbul is very affordable for visitors. Traffic is a problem in the city, because there are too many cars for the old streets. There are also subways, trains and buses, and some people take boats to go between the European side and the Asian side. The weather is very good in summer, but in winter, it's sometimes very cold.Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It's near the mountains and the sea, and there are many great parks where you can walk, ride a bicycle, or just relax. The city has good public transportation, with buses and fast trains that go everywhere. There are about 600,000 peoplein Vancouver, but it's a very clean city, and there is not much pollution. Two bad points --- prices are very high, and the weather is not very good. Vancouver is famous for rain! But there are many good museums for those rainy days, and in the evening, the city has great restaurants and nightclubs to visit.Optional Listening 4San Jose, Costa Rica. When people think of Costa Rica, they imagine rain forests, rivers and beautiful beaches. These things are not in San Jose. But the city is still one of the world's best. Why? Unlike other cities in Central and South America, the city has comfortable weather all year (15-26/ 60-79). Housing is affordable in San Jose. Also, many of the city‟s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels, art galleries and cafes. Beautiful volcanoes and mountains surround the city. You can visit them easily from the San Jose. Minuses: There‟s good public transportation, but traffic and air pollution are our problem in the city center.Hong Kong, China. Why live in Hong Kong? Here are two good reasons. The city: This lovely city --- once a small fishing village --- is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern skyscrapers are next to small temples. Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy crowds fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. The food: Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes (try the dim sum). There‟s also food from Europe, North Am erica, and other parts of Asia. Minuses: This small city has a large population. How many people live in Hong Kong? About seven million! That's why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and air pollution are also problem.Optional Listening 5Sun-hee and Tara come home and find a note from Claudia. Claudia wants them to meet her at a restaurant called Giovanni‟s. She gives Sun-hee and Tara directions to the restaurant, but Tara forgets Claudia‟s note. They ask a man for directions, but they don‟t unders tand them. They finally take a taxi to the restaurant. When they get there, they are surprised. The restaurant is right across the street from the subway station.Unit 6Track 1-6-4Hello, Everyone! Welcome to Sarah Winchester‟s house in beautiful San Jos e, California. Sarah died in 1992.

In the cooperative, everyone buys a share of an apartment building. If a low-earning requirement is met, the buys can get a low-interest loan from the government.2) During the day, heat from sunlight is collected through windows on the south side of the house. At night, the windows are covered, and the collected warmth heats the home.【原文】In recent years, there have been important social and economic changes in the United States. And, these changes have affected almost all of America’s housing system, from home building to home buying.First of all, American families are growing smaller. People today are having fewer children, or choosing not to have children at all. Many people are marrying later in life. And, about 40 percent of all American marriages end in divorce.All this means that many Americans now want smaller houses. And, a larger percentage are buying apartments.This has created a shortage of rental housing in many parts of the country. It has caused special difficulties for those who are old or poor, and do not have the money to buy a place of their own.Some people are solving this problem by forming cooperatives. In a cooperative, everyone in an apartment building joins together and buys a share of the building. If 20 percent of those living in the cooperative have low earnings, then the group can get a low-interest loan from the government. If people want to sell their share in the cooperative, they cannot receive more than they paid for it. This helps keep the cost of cooperatives low.Recent concern over the cost of energy also has brought changes in American housing. Some people are moving back to the cities, to save the cost of driving long distances to work. And, many Americans have begun to seek homes that cost less to heat and light. Some homes are being built underground. They cost almost nothing to heat, because the temperature of the earth changes very little as the seasons change.Other new houses get their energy from the sun. During the day, heat from sunlight is collected through windows on the south side of the house. At night, the windows are covered, and the collected warmth heats the home.Recently, the American economy has also had a major effect on American housing. Inflation has pushed the cost of homes higher and higher. And, interest rates have become very high. Buyers now must pay as much as 18 percent interest for housing loans.Americans with just moderate earnings now find it very difficult to make monthly payments on new home. In the last few months, even apartments have grown too costly for most people to buy.T ask 9【答案】A.1) Debate on Radio Time.2) Four guests are in the studio. James and Alice are from Sheffield; David and Louise are from a small village in Y orkshire.3) The topic is how living in town compares with living in the country.【原文】Mike: Hello everyone, and welcome to this month’s edition of Debate on Radio Time, the programme for students of English round the world. With me in the studio today I have four guests, James and Alice from Sheffield, and David and Louise from a small village in Y orkshire. How does living in a town compare with living in the country? What do they all think? Let’s start with you, James.James: Living in a town like Sheffield is wonderful. There is so much to do. My parents often go to the theatre or the cinema. I belong to a youth club and go to lots of discos. There’s a good swimming pool at the Sports Centre and a large library. Public transport is good, so it’s easy to get from one place to another. I live very near my school, so I can walk there, and it’s easy to visit my friends.Mike: So you’re very happy. What about you, Alice?Alice: Well, James is right in many ways. But I don’t like living in town. It’s very noisy with all the traffic, and rather dirty. I like going for long walks in the fresh air, but we’ve only got parks. I cycle to school to get some exercise but it’s rather dangerous, and car drivers shout at you. I don’t really like discos or cinemas. I like open fields and a peaceful life. Mike: So you’re a country girl at heart? Do you ag ree with her, David?David: Y es, I do. Y ou’re closer to nature in the country and it’s much quieter. Y ou can watch the plants and animals change with the seasons, and there’s more room to play out of doors.And people are more friendly. They seem to have more time, so they stop and talk to you.There’s less traffic too, so the air stays fresh.Mike: Do you agree with David, Louise?Louise: Not really. I think life in the country is very dull. It’s too quiet. And you can’t really play anywhere because the fields are full of crops and animals. There is less traffic, but people drive very fast on country roads, so they are quite dangerous. I don’t like animals. The nearest youth club is ten miles away. The worst thing is that I have to get up very early.Public transport is very bad in the country, so I have to catch a special school bus from the other end of the village. All my school friends live in different villages, and it’s difficult to see them out of school. Life’s much better in town.Mike: Well, w e don’t agree. Two for and two against. Well, where is it best to live? Can you think of any more points? Have a debate in your class and take a vote. Now it’s goodbye from James, Alice, David and Louise.All: Goodbye, everybody.Mike: Thank you for joining us and until next Radio Time. Goodbye from me.T ask 10【答案】Well, I think I’d prefer to live in a village because ... well, I think the people there are friendly and there is a lot of fresh air. I think life generally is healthier in a village and I like being close to nature. And it’s very important for my work as a writer to have peace and quiet.Well, I’d prefer to live in a city because there’s more going on. Er ... being an actress, I need to go to the cinema and the theatre and there’s far more entertainment in the city than there is in the country, Of course. I also like it because ... um ... people are more open-minded. Peopledon’t ... um ... mind what you do in the city. And for the shopping as well, I mean, I love going to the village shops, but the stores and shops in London can’t compare with anything.Y es, well, I prefer living in a village. It’s safer than a city and there’s less crime and of course there’s less traffic, so it’s much more pleasant. Then, it’s much cheaper than the city. There are…you know, rents are cheaper and so of course are house prices. It’s quiet, it’s…it’s peaceful. Y es, I much prefer living in a village.Y es you. Think of the children Roger. It seems to me that you’re so…so carried away with the idea…that you’re going to…the idea of buying a house at long last that…well…your personal likes and dislikes are…are making you anything but practical. Alex for example. He’ll be going to secondary school next year. And as far as I’m concerned the nearer the school the better. Have you read the description of your beautiful village house? Where is it? Y es, here we are. “Local primary school within walking distance” it says. That of course means that the nearest secondary school will be in Colchester.T ask 11【答案】to, are, of, is, in, for, to, to, of, or, of, to【原文】Is it better to rent furniture or to buy your own home furnishings? Today, many young people are renting instead of buying, and furniture rental is one of the fastest-growing businesses in the United States. The reason for this trend is quite simple. People prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture that they really like instead of buying used or cheap furniture. Renting has another advantage too. It saves people the cost of moving their furniture to other parts of the country when they relocate.T ask 12【答案】For many years, owning a home has been an important part of the American dream. Since the end of World War II, that dream has come true for a growing number of Americans. Just before the war, less than half of all families in the United States owned their own homes. Toda, about 65 percent do.Americans also are living in newer homes than at any other time in American history. The average home today is about 23 years old.Many of these new houses are in suburban areas, just outside America’s cities. About 30 years ago, builders started putting up houses in these areas by the hundreds, and sold them as quickly as they could build them. Today, 35 percent of all Americans live in suburban housing areas that did no exist 30 years ago. The remaining 65 are divided about equally, between cities and small towns.。

Listen to it and complete the following sentences according to the information you’ve heard with the words and phrases provided in the box. Then listen to it again and check your answers.A Way to Improve English Listening QuicklyFew days ago, I watched a video which was taken by certain member of Taiwan University for teaching students how to improve English listening skill. Some advice is given from the lecturer. The source of the information is the Writing Center website.Today, I try to watch English movie without Chinese translating subtitles. At the beginning, it is very difficult to understand what the actors are talking about. But gradually, I can figure out more and more words. I know that the method does work to improve my listening skill. Certainly! My English listening ability is not good enough. It is fun to learn things and I always believe that.Page 8 Passage 2Now you’ll hear a passage, which is followed by four questions. Listen to it and choose the best answer to each of the following questions. Then listen to it again and check your answers.Many Chinese students have studied English for more than ten years. However, when they meet a native speaker, they are still unable to speak English very well. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uncomfortable. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.Many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to think about their ideas in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and positive belief in themselves.Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those native speakers with whom you are speaking? Don’t be shy! They will not laugh at yo u just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of mistakes is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that continual practice will help you succeed.习题答案及参考译文：Section A Listening and SpeakingPart One PronunciationⅠ. 清辅音： ☐ ♦ ♦♦ ♦❒ ♦☞ ♐ ♦ ☞ ♒浊辅音： ♌ ♎ ♑ ♎ ♎❒ ♎☪ ❆ ✞ ❒ ● ♦ ❍ ⏹ ☠Ⅱ.略Part Three DialoguesDialogue 1Ⅰ. 1.

My topic today is about our college life. Several months ago I was sitting in the classroom of my senior high school, struggling for my dream to be a college student. At that time, I knew I should and must go on with my school education in this autumn, for I want to be good, just good. I will be a true man in the future who can live on my own. I will be a true man who can do something for my mother and my motherland.When I came here, I found our college was not the same as the one in my imagination. But they are both good. I think I have adapted to my college life. And I can even say I have got accustomed to it.In order to succeed in the future, I have made careful plans. Firstly, I will work harder and try to master English and computer technology. Secondly, I hope I can work in the student union to get some practical experience. Thirdly, I will make new plans.

Unit 11.Okay, okay, let’s begin. Hello, everyone. My name’s Susan Hudson and I’ll be your teacher for this class, Intercultural Communication.Uh, to begin with, please take a look at the syllabus in front of you. As you all should know by now, this class meets on Tuesdays from 3:15 to 4:50. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Thursday in Room 405 during the last two months of the class.Uh, this is the text for the class, Beyond Language. Unfortunately, the books haven’t come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to purchase them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again, as you see on your course outline, grading is determined by your performance on a midterm and final test, periodic quizzes, uh, a research project, and classroom participation.My office hours are from 1:00 to 2:00 on Wednesdays, and you can set up an appointment to meet with me at other times as well.2.Librarian: Can I help you?Student: Yes. I am a bit confused. My sociology class is supposed to read a chapter in a book called Sociology and the Modern Age. According to the syllabus,the book is in the library, but I haven’t been able to find it.Librarian: Do you have your syllabus with you? May I see it?Student: Yes, uh...I put it in the front of my sociology notebook. Yes, here it is. Librarian: Let me see. Oh yes. Your professor has placed this book on reserve. That means you cannot find it on the shelves in its usual place. You need to goto a special room called the reserve room. It’s down the hall and to theright.Student: I’m sorry—I still don’t understand what you mea n by on reserve. Librarian: You see, your professor wants everyone in the class to read the chapter. If one student removes the book from the library, it is likely that none of theother students will have the opportunity to read it. So, your professor hasinsured that all students have the opportunity to read it by placing it onreserve.Student: So, will I be able to find this book?Librarian: Yes, when a book is on reserve, a student can go to the reserve room and ask the reserve librarian for the book. The student can have the book for afew hours, and he or she MUST read it in the library during that time. Thatway, the book stays in the library, and all students have a chance to read it. Student: OK. Thank you. I understand now.Librarian: Will there be anything else?Student: No! I am on my way to the reserve room. Thanks again!3.Hello and welcome to the university library.

What’s up?Randall: Well, I just wanted to go over the schedule for Wednesday’s orientation meeting to make sure everything is ready.Faith: Okay. Here’s a copy of the tentative schedule. [Okay.] Now, the registration starts at 8:30 and goes until 9:15. [All right.] Then, the orientation meeting will commence at 9:30.Randall: Okay. Now, we had planned originally for the meeting to go until 10:30, but now we have someone from the international center coming to speak to thestudents on extracurricular activities, so how about ending the meetingaround 11?Faith: Fine. And, uh, then students will take the placement tests from 11:15 until noon [OK.], followed by 20-minute break before lunch. [OK.] And, immediately after lunch, we have reserved a campus shuttle to give students a 45-minute tour starting at 1:30. [Oh. OK.] We want to show students around the university, including the union building, the library, and the student services building.Randall: Great. Now, how about the oral interviews?Faith: Well, we’re planning to start them at 2:15.Randall: Uh, well, teachers are going to be up to their ears in preparations, and they’ll be hard pressed to start then.Faith: Ok, let’s get things rolling around 2:45.Randall: Ok, here, let me jot that down. Uh, could you grab a pen off my desk? Faith: Right. Finding anything on your desk is like finding a needle in a haystack.[Oh, it’s not that bad.] Here, use mine.Randall: OK. And we’ll need 150 copies of this program guide by then.Faith: Hey. That’s a tall order on such short notice! How about lending me a hand to put things together [OK.] by this afternoon so we don’t have to worry about them?Randall: OK. And I think the manager has given the green light to go ahead and use the more expensive paper and binding for the guides this time.Faith: OK. So the interviews will go from 2:45 until, let’s say, 4:30. [OK.] I hopewe can wrap things up by 5.Randall: Great. I think the bottom line is to keep things running smoothly throughout the day.Faith: I agree. I’ll pass this schedule by the director for a final look5.Receptionist: Good morning.

Most universities will not accept students without this test. It is also used to help decide how much financial aid should be given to each student.Scores range from 200 to 800 for each part. There is a total of 1,600 points. Thetest is held every year from October to June. But seniors must take it before December in order to include their scores in their university applications. The average total score for an American high school student is around 1,000.A poor SAT score can prevent a student from going to a good university. Students who want to go to one of America’s best universities, such as Harvard or Yale, must score between 1,430 and 1,600.The test can be taken over and over again, but all the scores will appear on the students’ records. However, unlike Chinese universities, the score is not the only thing needed. American universities also look at a student’s subject gra des, what they do outside of school, and their teachers’ recommendations.In addition to the SAT 1, some universities require high school students to take at least three SAT IIs. These one-hour exams can be taken in any subject, for example chemistry or French.7.Japanese students need 12 years of study before entering universities.They choose the places they want to go and apply before January of their final year. The university entrance exam is a standard nationwide test held every year in January. It provides tests for 31 subjects in six subject areas: Japanese language, geography and history, civics, math, science and a foreign language. All national and public universities, as well as some private ones make use of this exam. But many places also have their own tests in February or later, before the new school year starts in April.In order to pass the exam for the best universities such as the National University of Tokyo, many students attend special preparation schools on top of their regular classes. These extra schools can last for one to two years between high school and university.Although every student has the chance of going to a Japanese university, only 50 percent of high school seniors actually choose further study.8.The School was opened in 1955 and is part of a non-profit-making educational foundation. Its 200 students, from 30-40 countries, work in large, attractive buildings set in extensive, beautiful gardens, within easy reach of the centre of Cambridge, The School has dining rooms, a library, video filming studio, language laboratories, listening and self-access study centres, computers, as well as facilities for tennis, table tennis, volleyball, basketball, badminton and football.General English classes are for students aged 17+. Complete beginners are not accepted. Students have classes for 21 hours a week. Other subjects available within the General English timetable include English for Business and English Literature. The cost of tuition, materials and books per term is ￡1,130. Accommodation is with local families. Lunch is provided in the School Monday to Friday. All other meals are taken with the family. There is a full range of social activities including excursions, discos and theatre-visits. The total cost of all non-tuition services is ￡670 per term. There are 3 terms of 10 weeks and summer courses of 9 weeks and 3 1/2 weeks.9.This school has a capacity of 220 students. It occupies a 19th century building in a quiet tree- filled square close to Victoria Station in central London.General courses, either in the mornings or afternoons, comprise 15 50-minuteperiods per week. We cater for a wide range of classes from beginners to advanced, enabling us to place students at the level indicated by the special entry test which all students take. There are usually no more than 14 students in a class. In addition to the 15 lessons, there are daily individual laboratory sessions and lectures on life in Britain at no extra costThere are 8 classrooms, a multi-media learning centre, language laboratory, video, computer, lecture hall, canteen. We are open from January to December for courses of 3 to 14 weeks. There is a special 2-week Easter Course and Refresher Courses for overseas teachers of English in summer. Fees are approximately￡46 per week for general courses. Accommodation can be arranged with selected families with half board. There is a full social programme and regular excursions.10.This school, founded in 1953, is a non-profit making Charitable Trust. Situated in residential North Oxford, 3 km from the city centre, the College occupies a complex of purpose-built blocks and 14 large Victorian houses providing academic and residential accommodation. Facilities include an excellent library, video room, language laboratories, computer room, science laboratories, assembly hall and coffee bar.A particular benefit for the EFL student is the opportunity to live and study with native English speakers taking the two-year International Baccalaureate course, or courses at university level.All students are encouraged to participate in social and extracurricular activities including sports, horse riding, drama, art, crafts, photography, films, concerts and excursions.Academic Year Courses (21 hours per week) leading to all principal EFL examinations, concentrate on language with selected studies in Literature, Politics, History, Art History, and Computing. Most students live in college houses each supervised by a resident warden, but some prefer family accommodation.Unit 21. 1) They live in Africa and India. They have four legs and a tail. They are very big and very strong. They are intelligent, too. They have a trunk and some of them have tusks. They sometimes live for 70 years.2) They live in Africa and Asia. They are brown. They have arms and legs, but they don’t have a tail. Their arms are very long and they have big ears. They are good climbers. They are very intelligent, too.3) They live in Africa. They are very tall. They have four legs, a tail and a very long neck. They eat leaves and twigs. They can run very fast. They are brown and white.4) They live in very cold countries. They have wings, but they can’t fly. They are good swimmers. They eat fish. They are blue and white or black and white.5) They live in Australia. They are red or gray. They have short front legs, long back legs and a very long tail. The back legs and the tail are very strong. They can run very fast. The females carry their young in a pouch.6) They live in Africa. They have four legs and a tail. They have a beautiful coat withblack and white or brown and white stripes. They eat grass and plants.7) They live in very cold countries. They have four legs. They are very big and very strong. They have a white coat. They can swim. They eat seals and fish.2. The fastest animal on land is the cheetah. It can run at a speed of about 100 kilometres an hour. The fastest bird in the world can fly at 170 km/h, and the fastest fish can swim at more than 100 km/h.Human beings are not very fast. The fastest man in the world can only run at about 40 km/h.Many animals can run faster than this. But most animals run on four legs. Four legs are better than two, aren’t they? Why do we onl y have two legs?Scientists say that we are more intelligent than other animals because we stand on two legs, so we can use our hands for other things. We can pick things up with them. We can use tools. Human beings have used tools for millions of years. That is why our brains have developed. That is why we have become the most intelligent animals in the world.In the past few years, we have made all kinds of machines. We have made cars, ships, aeroplanes and spacecraft. In these machines we can travel faster than any animal—by land, by sea, or by air. We can even go to the moon. No other animal has ever done that!3. A: You know, we’re studying dinosaurs in science class.It’s really interesting.B: Oh, yeah? Hey, have you learned why the dinosaurs disappeared?A: Well, no one knows for sure.B: I thought it had something to do with the climate. The temperature might have gotten cooler and killed them off.A: Yeah, that’s one theory. Another idea is that they may have run out of food.B: Uh-huh. And you know, there’s even a theory that they could have been destroyed by aliens from outer space.A: That sounds crazy to me!4. For the shortest life, the first prize must go to the mayfly, which typically lives only a matter of a few hours after it emerges from its shell. Few mayflies live to see the sun rise again. These creatures devote their whole lives to a single desperate mission: finding a mate and producing young. They don’t even have functional mouths and stomachs. They simply have no time to eat. In fact they have no time for anything else.The record-holder for the longest life may be the Arctic clam, one of which lived quietly underwater for 220 years. However it did not have any birth certificate to prove this. One could only judge by its growth rings.If you insist on better documentation, the oldest animal ever was probably a tortoise that died in 1918. It had been captured already full-grown in 1766, nine years before the American Revolution began and it died 152 years later as World War I came to a close5. Every year about 17 million animals are used in Laboratory experiments. But in many countries today, a difficult question is being asked: Do we have the right to use animals in this way?People who are for using animals in research argue that the use of animals in medical research has many practical benefits. Animal research has enabled researchers to develop treatments for many diseases, such as heart disease and depression. It would not have been possible to develop vaccines for diseases like smallpox and polio without animal research. Every drug anyone takes today was tried first on animals.Future medical research is dependent on the use of animals. Which is more important: the life of a rat or that of a three-year-old child?Medical research is also an excellent way of using unwanted animals. Last year, over 12 million animals had to be killed in animal shelters because no one wanted them as pets.However those who are against it point out that the fact that humans benefit cannot be used to justify using animals in research any more than it can be used to justify experimenting on other humans. Animals suffer a lot during these experiments. They are forced to live in small cages, and they may be unable to move.Much of the research that is carried out is unnecessary anyway.Animals have the same rights as humans do— to be able to move freely and not to have pain or fear forced on them. Researchers must find other ways of doing their research, using cell culture and computer modeling. There should be no animals in research laboratories at all.6. Visitors to the National Zoo in Washington D. C. can see three new young tigers. The rare babies met the public for the first time late last month. Chip O’Neal tells us about them.The mother tiger sat nearby on the grass as her babies rolled, chased and bit each other playfully. Then Korenchy also jumped into the games. Her cubs were born at the zoo four months ago. They are called Mike, Eric and Chrisy. The new young tigers at the National Zoo each weigh about 13 kilograms. Their fur is dark orange with black stripes. They eat horse meat and drink milk from Korenchy.Korenchy and her babies are Sumatran tigers. Sumatran tigers came from the Indonesian island of Sumatra. They are now in danger of disappearing from the earth. Fewer than 500 of these tigers remain in the world. That includes about 60 living in zoos in North America.Korenchy came to the National Zoo from the Jakarta Zoo in Indonesia. The girl was part of the Sumatran Tiger Species Survival Program. Korenchy has given birth to live cubs three tines. The father of her new cubs is Rokan, a Sumatran tiger who arrived two years ago from another zoo. Korenchy and Rokan had their babies the natural way instead of the scientific method often used to produce young animals in zoos.A wire fence separates Rokan from his babies. Zoo workers who care for Rokan say he reaches through the fence to wash the cubs with his tongue. They say this means he recognizes Mike, Eric and Chrisy as his cubs. However, zoo officials are hoping that Rokan will produce more cubs with another female Sumatran tiger at the zoo, so they do not want him to become too interested in this family.The National Zoo hopes to keep the Sumatran tiger cubs for at least 18 months beforesending them to other zoos. That is about the age when most tiger cubs in the wild leave their mothers. The National Zoo has placed cameras in the Sumatran tigers’ living area, so people with computers can see them. To do this, use your computer to find the National Zoo’s Website at www. /natzoo.7. An old expression says, “Man’s best friend is his dog.” Today, however, it seems that cats have replaced dogs as the most popular pets in American homes.Americans have more than 62 million pet dogs. But even more cats— more than 64 million — live in American homes.These pet cats may have long hair or short hair. They are different colors and sizes. Some are costly animals that take part in competitions. Many more are common American mixtures of several kinds of cats.Most house cats live a good life. They are not expected to work for their food. Instead, they rule their homes like furry kings and queens. They wait for their owners to serve them.Americans are increasingly serious about their cats. These concerns have made the care of cats into big business.Each year, cat owners buy tons of food especially prepared for cats. They buy toys and other equipment. They buy jewelry and clothes for themselves with images of cats on them. Some owners even bury their dead pets in special burial grounds.Humans have loved and respected cats for centuries. Scientists have evidence that cats and people lived together as long as 8000 years ago. The small house cat was once a highly honored animal. In ancient Egypt, for example, people who killed a cat could be punished by death.Early in American history cats were not treated as gods, however. They probably arrived in the United States with settlers and traders from Europe. These cats worked. They killed rats and mice.Sometimes, Americans mistreated their cats. During the early days of the nation, religious extremists believed that some cats were working for the devil. Black cats were especially suspected of being evil.Later, American families who had enough food began taking cats into their homes. People cared for the cats because the animals gave them pleasure. The cats thanked people for feeding them by making a purring sound. This pleasant noise usually means a cat is happy.Animal experts offer several reasons why cats have become so popular as house pets. They say cats need less care than dogs. And cats do not seem to suffer as much as dogs from being alone if the owners are away.Still, millions of other people do not like cats at all. They say dogs are better and more loving pets. They say cats do not have much feeling. They believe cats stay with people only to be fed. Cat owners defend their pets against such criticism. They say cats are just much more independent than dogs.A student of animal medicine explains the situation this way: dogs follow you around — they want you to talk to them and play with them a lot of the time. Cats like more space and more privacy — this does not mean they do not love their owners.。

Whatever’s that?Mal c: It’s great.Boy: Yeah, i t’s great.Mum: I daresay it is. But what is it?Malc: It’s break dancing. You dance on your shoulders and on your back and on your head when you are good enough.Mum: It doesn’t sound much like dancing to me.Boy: It is. It’s great!Malc: Yeah.Mum: More like some competition in the Olympic Games.Malc: Yeah. It’s good exercise. Keeps you fit. But not like school athletics. It’s great.Mum: And where are you off to do your break dancing?Malc: Oh, we do it in the street. Anywhere! You don’t have to go to a dance hall to do it. You just do it — where you feel like it.Boy: It’s great.Mum: But you can’t just start dancing in the street like that.Boy: Why not? We take the portable cassette recorder and when we find a nice street, we turn the music up really loud and start dancing.Mum: And don’t the neighbours and police complain?Malc: No. They’re too interested watching us dance.Mum: On your back, shoulders and heads? I see. It sounds fascinating, I must say.I’m not surprised they watch. Very amusing.Boy: Yeah, it’s great. We have competitions to see who can do it the fastest without falling over. Malc’s the winner so far.Malc: Yeah, I’m the best. I teach the others but they can’t do it like me yet. Mum: I suppose that explains the conditions of your clothes lately.Boy: What do you mean, Mum?Mum: All these tears and holes I’ve suddenly been noticing in unusual places. That explains it. If you’re dancing on your shoulders and backs, you’ll be wearing your hair out next, I suppose.Malc: On, come on, Mum. It’s great.Mum: Oh well, off you go. But in future wear all your old pullovers and shirts, will you? It’s not very great sitting up late at night sewing up holes in your new ones. Go on, off with you.Task 5【答案】1) c, 2) a, 3) c, 4) b, 5) b【原文】Hello everybody, and welcome back to a thrilling game at the Tokyo Dome with the US Team taking a drumming at the hands of the Japanese national team going into the second half, 51 to 26. The US Dream Team is made up of NBA veterans —supposedly the best we have to offer —but they need a miracle to dig themselves out of a hole and come back at this point.Unfortunately for the Dream Team, their leading scorer, High-Fly Wilson, was ejected one minute into the second quarter after climbing into the stands and fighting with a spectator who had continually heckled Wilson for shooting three airballs in a row.Another unuaual moment came late in the second quarter when the Japanese center, Tomohiro Suzuki, suffered a concussion and was knocked out cold as he lunged for a ball and collided with the knee of one of his own teammates. There also have been several other injuries, including the loss of starting forward, Masa Harada.Some of the coaches on the US team are attributing the team’s slow performance to some raw fish they had last night while attending a banquet in their honor. Next thing we’ll know, they’ll be blaming their players’ cement hands on a demonstration class on Japanese paper folding earlier in the week. Who knows what’ll be next?OK, it looks like we’re ready for the second half.Task 6【答案】A.80 hectares, 470,000 square meters, 17,600, 760-hectare, 14, 15, less than a 30-minute driveB.1) It is located in the western part of the Village and consists of apartment buildings, dining halls, and other facilities.2) It is located in the eastern part of the Village and will provide leisure facilities and cultural activities for athletes.3) After the Games, it will become a residential area.【原文】Olympic VillageWith a land area of 80 hectares and a total building floor area of 470,000 square meters, the Olympic Village, located within the Olympic Green, will accommodate 17,600 athletes and team officials. A 760-hectare “Forest Park” will also be created within the Olympic Village.14 venues will be used to hold 15 sporting events within the Olympic Green.

I think, er, to stop violence on the terraces then, yes you must stop some of the violence on the field.A: Maybe professionalism is part of this.

For example, I believe in Rugby when one person is sent off, generally there’s... there’s someone from the opposing side also sent off, and I think it’s fair to say that in most trouble spots there…there is more than one person involved. By doing things like that you defuse the situation.B: I think the referees in Rugby are much tougher. I mean one word against the referee inRugby and you’re off in a lot of cases.A: But also, of course, it’s an amateur game. There isn’t the money in it is there, for the players.B: But even in Rugby League where there is money involved, although perhaps not such a large extent on the whole as in football, the referee usually has much more control of the situation.Task 10【答案】A.1) How do top athletes handle defeat and disappointment?Or where do they find the spark to keep going after a loss?2) Wining or losing depends solely on the athlete’s own skill and effort.B.1) Think positively.2) Stick with it.3) Work on small things.4) Learn from mistakes.5) Pick yourself up.C.1) Name: Siri LindleyProfession: long-distance running, swimming, cyclingResponse: make me stronger and more determined, pick my head up, start thinking positive, visualize myself succeeding2) Name: Allen JohnsonProfession: 100-meter hurdles at the 1996 OlympicsResponse: You can’t be the best every day, you can be the best on some days3) Name: Diver Mark RuizProfession: national championsResponse: the little things that count, practice that much harder, feel motivated to practice, if I don’t train well,I don’t do well.4) Name: Shannon MillerProfession: two goldsResponse: go back to the gym and figure out what went wrong, learn form your mistakes 5) Name: Michael WeissProfession: one of the best, a lot of spillsResponse: a part of growing, lift you up, pick yourself up【原文】Top athletes offer advice on making the most of a loss How do top athletes handle defeat and disappointment? In many cases, an athlete can turn to his or her teammates for support and encouragement. But in some sports, the performer competes as an individual. Winning or losing depends solely on the athlete’s own skill and effort.I asked several top performers in individual sports like gymnastics, skating, and track and field where they find the spark to keep going after a loss. Maybe theirresponses will be helpful to you, too.Siri Lindley is a top triathlete, competing in events that combine long-distance running, swimming, and cycling. “I try to use what I learn from each loss to make me stronger and more determined,” she says. “Then I pick my head up and start thinking positive and I visualize myself succeeding the next time. Let the losses make you stronger.”Allen Johnson won a gold medal in the 100-meter hurdles at the 1996 Olympics, but he knows that he can’t win every race. “When I don’t win, I have to accept the fact that I made a mistake or that someone was better on that day,” he says. “You can’t be the best every day, but you can be the best on some days.”Diver Mark R uiz has won many national championships. “In my sport it is the little things that count,” he says. “Each dive must be done perfectly. If I don’t do well in a meet, it pushes me to practice that much harder. If I don’t feel motivated to practice, I remind myself that if I don’t train well, I don’t do well. So I go right back to working on all the small things.”Gymnast Shannon Miller has won several Olympic medals, including two golds. “If I make a mistake in the middle of a competition, I try to forget about it because I have to go on,” she says. “If I do poorly over the course of an entire meet, I go back to the gym and figure out what went wrong. It’s so important to learn from your mistakes.”Figure skater Michael Weiss is one of the best in his sport, but there have been a lot of spills along the way. “I look at failing as a part of growing,” he says.“When you lose and you are feeling down, without teammates to lift you up, you have to be strong enough to pick yourself up.”Task 11【答案】Title: Preventing Sporting Injuries1. IntroductionImportance of sports: a great way to keep in shape for most people, and a great start on the road to a healthy lifestyle.Topic of the talk: tips for getting the most out of your fitness programme and preventing injury.2.

At this time of the year it was not very crowded. It was a lovely day with only a few little white clouds, like puffs of smoke, in the sky. It was not too hot, as it sometimes was during the summer, but pleasantly warm. Edward and Ann sat down at a table outside one of the cafes.After they had been sitting there enjoying the sunshine for a few minutes,a young waiter, not much more than a boy.came to take their order.He spoke no English,but after a lot of laugher and pointing at the menu,they thought they had managed to make him understand that all the wanted was ice cream.There were several flavours,lemon,chocolate,coffee,orange and vanilla and they both chose coffee. “I love coffee ice cream,”said Ann.After a little while the waiter returned.He was carrying a big trav,which he set down very carefully on the table in front of Edward and Ann.There were two cups of coffee and two plain ice creams on the tray.“We didn’t order coffee,”said Edward crossly, “we ordered coffeeice cream .He ought to be able to understand simple English.”The waiter smiled and looked pleased.“No,”said Ann laughing, “it’s his country.We ought to be able to speak his language.”Key:BCDBCCDAPart3New Item 1In Houston,Texas,a federal investigating jury has charged the Arthur Andersen Company with blocking efforts to justice in the Enron case.Arthur Andersen employees kept financial records and provided advice to the failed energy company Enron.

Every day after school they had gone down to field behind the pub to see what was happening.First the men had put up the big tent and thenmoved in all the seats,and finally they had fixed the coloured lights round the outside of the tent.In another part of the field,the children watched as the animals were fed and exercised . Sometimes, to their delight ,two young wome n stood on the horses’ backs and galloped round and round. But the most exciting moment of all was when the trainer allowed them to watch him go into the lion’s cage. The children were sure he would be attacked, but he came out again unhurt and smiling. At last the opening night came round.Then the most terrible thing happened;their mother forbade them to go because she said it was unkind to put animals in a circus.The children were unable to make her change her mind,and they had to sit at home while the music and lights in the field reminded them of what they were missing.Section FourPart1 Greetings and IntroductionsGreetings and introductions are an essential aspect of US culture.Their importance can never be overemphasized.In social situations,a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However,in the business world is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position.If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other,introduce the oneyou know less well to the one you know better.There might be occasions where in you will have to introduce yourself.For example,if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate,you might start off by extending your hand and saying “Hello!I am…” If you have been introduced ear lier to someone,do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.Americans shake their hands when first introduced to a new person.Rarely they shake hands while parting.As a part of greeting,sometimes,social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well. If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English,do not use your native or any foreign language for more than a sexually explicit stories or jokes.When you are in a theatre, it’s not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.Key:BDDCBBDBAmerican IndiansThe native people of North and South America were given the same “Indians”by fhe explor er Christopher Columbus.He thought he had reached a place called the Indies.In time,the termsAmericans Indian and Indian became widely used. About 2,000,000 native Americans live in the United States today. Others live in cities.Traditional culture remains strong in areas where large numbers of Indians live.But many Americans worry that their cultural traditions will be lost as young people leave these areas for economic reasons.The economic situation of American Indians as a group is not good. About 50% of those who live on reservations have no job. Those who do have jobs earn less than other Americans.Most Indians hold low-paying unskilled jobs. Indians have many health problems and do not live as long as other Americans.But the situation is improving as more Indians are becoming educated. Today, most native Americans graduate from high school.At least 9% of all Indians 25 years old or older have finished college.The economic situation also has improved as native American tribes create businesses on their lands.One example is the Pequot tribe of the northeast. The tribe owns and operates a hotel,a gambling casino,and a museum of its culture and history . Today,American Indians are trying to control their land without interference from the government. This includes control over hunting and fishing rights,and mining operations,This includescontrol over hunting and fishing rights, and mining operations.They are trying to protect their land from pollution.

What do you think?Woman: Humph.Man: “Humph!” what do you mean “Humph?” I was the star player in high school.Woman: Yeah, twenty-five years ago. Look, I just don’t want you having a heart attack running up and down the court.Man: So, what are you suggesting? Should I just abandon the idea? I’m not that out of shape. Woman: Well... you ought to at least have a physical before you begin. I mean, it has been at least five years since you played at all.Man: Well, OK, but...Woman: And you need to watch your diet and cut back on the fatty foods, like ice cream. And you should try eating more fresh fruits and vegetables.Man: Yeah, you’re probably right.Woman: And you should take up a little weight training to strengthen your muscles or perhaps try cycling to build up your cardiovascular system.

Whatever’s that?Mal c: It’s great.Boy: Yeah, it’s great.Mum: I daresay it is. But what is it?Malc: It’s break dancing. You dance on your shoulders and on your back and on your head when you are good enough.Mum: It doesn’t sound much like dancing to me.Boy: It is. It’s great!Malc: Yeah.Mum: More like some competition in the Olympic Games.Malc: Yeah. It’s good exercise. Keeps you fit. But not like school athletics. It’s great.Mum: And where are you off to do your break dancing?Malc: Oh, we do it in the street. Anywhere! You don’t have to go to a dance hall to do it. You just do it — where you feel like it.Boy: It’s great.Mum: But you can’t just start dancing in the street like that.Boy: Why not? We take the portable cassette recorder and when we find a nice street, we turn the music up really loud and start dancing.Mum: And don’t the neighbours and police complain?Malc: No. They’re too interested watching us dance.Mum: On your back, shoulders and heads? I see. It sounds fascinating, I must say. I’m not surprised they watch. Very amusing.Boy: Yeah, it’s great. We have competitions to see who can do it the fastest without falling over.Malc’s the winner so far.Malc: Yeah, I’m the best. I teach the others but they can’t do it like me yet.Mum: I suppose that explains the conditions of your clothes lately.Boy: What do you mean, Mum?Mum: All these tears and holes I’ve suddenly been noticing in unusual places. That explains it. If you’re dancing on your shoulders and backs, you’ll be wearing your hair out next, I suppose.Malc: On, c ome on, Mum. It’s great.Mum: Oh well, off you go. But in future wear all your old pullovers and shirts, will you? It’s not very great sitting up late at night sewing up holes in your new ones. Go on, off with you.Task 5【答案】1) c, 2) a, 3) c, 4) b, 5) b【原文】Hello everybody, and welcome back to a thrilling game at the Tokyo Dome with the US Team taking a drumming at the hands of the Japanese national team going into the second half, 51 to 26. The US Dream Team is made up of NBA veterans — supposedly the best we have to offer — but they need a miracle to dig themselves out of a hole and come back at this point.Unfortunately for the Dream Team, their leading scorer, High-Fly Wilson, was ejected one minute into the second quarter after climbing into the stands and fighting with a spectator who had continually heckled Wilson for shooting three airballs in a row.Another unuaual moment came late in the second quarter when the Japanese center, Tomohiro Suzuki, suffered a concussion and was knocked out cold as he lunged for a ball and collided with the knee of one of his own teammates. There also have been several other injuries, including the loss of starting forward, Masa Harada.Some of the coaches on the US team are attributing the team’s slow performance to some raw fish they had last night while attending a banquet in their honor. Next thing we’ll know, they’ll be blaming their players’ cement hands on a demonstration class on Japanese paper folding earlier in the week. Who knows what’ll be next?OK, it looks like we’re ready for the second half.Task 6【答案】A.80 hectares, 470,000 square meters, 17,600, 760-hectare, 14, 15, less than a 30-minute driveB.1) It is located in the western part of the Village and consists of apartment buildings, dining halls, and other facilities.2) It is located in the eastern part of the Village and will provide leisure facilities and cultural activities for athletes.3) After the Games, it will become a residential area.【原文】Olympic VillageWith a land area of 80 hectares and a total building floor area of 470,000 square meters, the Olympic Village, located within the Olympic Green, will accommodate 17,600 athletes and team officials. A 760-hectare “Forest Park” will also be created within the Olympic Village.14 venues will be used to hold 15 sporting events within the Olympic Green. These venues are in walking distance from the Olympic Village. All other Olympic venues in Beijing will be less than a 30-minute drive from the Village.The Olympic Village will provide safe and comfortable facilities to help athletes achieve their peak performance during the Games.

I think, er, to stop violence on the terraces then, yes you must stop some of the violence on the field.A: Maybe professionalism is part of this.

For example, I believe in Rugby when one person is sent off, generally there’s... there’s someone from the opposing side also sent off, and I think it’s fair to say that in most trouble spots there…there is more than one person involved. By doing things like that you defuse the situation.B: I think the referees in Rugby are much tougher. I mean one word against the referee in Rugby and you’re off in a lot of cases.A: But also, of course, it’s an amateur game. There isn’t t he money in it is there, for the players. B: But even in Rugby League where there is money involved, although perhaps not such a large extent on the whole as in football, the referee usually has much more control of the situation.Task 10【答案】A.1) How do top athletes handle defeat and disappointment?Or where do they find the spark to keep going after a loss?2) Wining or losing depends solely on the athlete’s own skill and effort.B.1) Think positively.2) Stick with it.3) Work on small things.4) Learn from mistakes.5) Pick yourself up.C.1) Name: Siri LindleyProfession: long-distance running, swimming, cyclingResponse: make me stronger and more determined, pick my head up, start thinking positive, visualize myself succeeding2) Name: Allen JohnsonProfession: 100-meter hurdles at the 1996 OlympicsResponse: You can’t be the best every day, you can be the best on some days3) Name: Diver Mark RuizProfession: national championsResponse: the little things that count, practice that much harder, feel motivated to practice, if I don’t train well,I don’t do well.4) Name: Shannon MillerProfession: two goldsResponse: go back to the gym and figure out what went wrong, learn form your mistakes5) Name: Michael WeissProfession: one of the best, a lot of spillsResponse: a part of growing, lift you up, pick yourself up【原文】Top athletes offer advice on making the most of a lossHow do top athletes handle defeat and disappointment? In many cases, an athlete can turn to his or her teammates for support and encouragement. But in some sports, the performer competes as an individual. Winning or losing depends solely on the athlete’s own skill and effort.I asked several top performers in individual sports like gymnastics, skating, and track and field where they find the spark to keep going after a loss. Maybe their responses will be helpful to you, too.Siri Lindley is a top triathlete, competing in events that combine long-distance running, swimming, and cycling. “I try to use what I learn from each loss to make me stronger and more determined,” she says. “Then I pick my head up and start thinking positive and I visualize myself succeeding the next time. Let the losses make you stronger.”Allen Johnson won a gold medal in the 100-meter hurdles at the 1996 Olympics, but he knows that he can’t win every race. “When I don’t win, I have to accept the fact that I made a mistake or that someone was better on that day,” he says. “You can’t be the best every day, but you can be the best on some days.”Diver Mark Ruiz has won many national championships. “In my sport it is the little things that count,” he says. “Each dive must be done perfectly. If I don’t do well in a meet, it pushes me to practice that much harder. If I don’t feel motivated to practice, I remind myself that if I don’t train well, I don’t do well. So I go right back to working on all the small things.”Gymnast Shannon Miller has won several Olympic medals, including two golds. “If I make a mistake in the middle of a competition, I try to forget about it because I have to go on,” she says. “If I do poorly over the course of an entire meet, I go back to the gym and figure out what went wrong. It’s so important to learn from your mistakes.”Figure skater Michael Weiss is one of the best in his sport, but there have been a lot of spills along the way. “I look at failing as a part of growing,” he says.“When you lose and you are feeling down, without teammates to lift you up, you have to be strong enough to pick yourself up.”Task 11【答案】Title: Preventing Sporting Injuries1.

Don’t rely on you r thirst as an indicator of fluid depletion; try to drink consistently before and during your sporting activity. Continuing to drink after you have finished will ensure that weight lost through fluid depletion is replaced. Remember that alcohol and any drinks containing caffeine can led to increased dehydration.If you are outdoors, always remember to bring adequate sum protection, and try to avoid scheduling activities between 10 am and 2 pm, the hottest part of the day.Warning up, cooling downYou can help to reduce the risk of a serious sporting injury by warming up prior to exercise and taking time to cool down after your activity. Stretching prior to exercise helps to promote blood flow to your muscles, increasing flexibility and reducing the chance of getting a new injury or aggravating an old one.A gentle cool down period means you will experience less muscle stiffness and soreness. It also helps to remove waste products form muscles you have used during your activity, replacing them with nutrients and oxygen.Try not to overdo it when beginning a new activity; build on your fitness levels and set goals. knowing your limits means you have less chance of sustaining a sporting injury—a lack offitness increase your chance of experiencing a heat-related injury such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke.The right equipmentNo matter what sport you play, the correct footwear is essential to absorb the impact of movement as well as provide adequate support for your ankles and feet. This is especially important in sports where knee and ankle injuries are common, such as netball and football. To help avoid injury, protective equipment such as knee and elbow pads, helmets, gloves or shin pads may be helpful in many contact sports or sports where there is a risk of crashing.Treating an injuryWhile broken bones and severe sporting injuries, such as concussions, should be treated by a medical professional immediately, less serious sprains and strains can initially be helped by the RICE method.Rest — no exercise or stretching or quick movements.Ice —should be applied for at least 20 minutes as soon as possible after the injury, then every four hours while you are awake, for the next 48 hours. Crushed ice cubes in a wet tea towel or packets of frozen peas are ideal. Be careful to protect your skin from the ice with oil, a paper towel or a tea towel.Compress — use a firm crepe or elastic pressure bandage on the affected joint or limb.Elevate — keep the injured arm or leg up.Food and sportAllow between one and four hours for your food to digest before you participate in any sporting activity, longer if your sport involves running. the ideal meal prior to sport is low in fat and high in carbohydrates —carbohydrates increase your store of glycogen, which fuels the muscles, while a low-fat meal helps you avoid a bloated feeling that may affect your performance.Task 12【答案】Mr. Jones was very fond of climbing mountains, so one year he went to Switzerland for his holidays. After he had climbed some easy mountains, he decided one day to climb a more difficult one; but he did not want to go up it alone, so he found a good Swiss guide, who had often climbed that mountain.At first it was not a difficult climb, but then they came to a place which was not so easy. The guide stopped, turned round and warned Mr. Jones. “Be careful here,”he said, “This is a dangerous place. You can easily fall, and if you do, you will fall straight down a very long way. But,” he cont inued calmly, “if you do fall here, don’t forget to look to the right while you are going down. There is quite an extraordinarily beautiful view there — much more beautiful than the one you can see from here.”。

Listen to it and complete the following sentences according to the information you’ve heard with the words and p hrases provided in the box. Then listen to it again and check your answers.A Way to Improve English Listening QuicklyFew days ago, I watched a video which was taken by certain member of Taiwan University for teaching students how to improve English listening skill. Some advice is given from the lecturer. The source of the information is the Writing Center website.Today, I try to watch English movie without Chinese translating subtitles. At the beginning, it is very difficult to understand what the actors are talking about. But gradually, I can figure out more and more words. I know that the method does work to improve my listening skill. Certainly! My English listening ability is not good enough. It is fun to learn things and I always believe that.Page 8 Passage 2Now you’ll hear a passage, which is followed by four questions. Listen to it and choose the best answer to each of the following questions. Then listen to it again and check your answers.Many Chinese students have studied English for more than ten years. However, when they meet a native speaker, they are still unable to speak English very well. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uncomfortable. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.Many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to think about their ideas in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and positive belief in themselves.Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those native speakers with whom you are speaking? Don’t be shy! They will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of mistakes is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that continual practice will help you succeed.习题答案及参考译文Section A Listening and SpeakingPart One PronunciationⅠ. 清辅音: ☐ ♦ ♦♦ ♦❒ ♦☞ ♐ ♦ ☞ ♒浊辅音: ♌ ♎ ♑ ♎ ♎❒ ♎✞ ❖ ❆ ✞ ❒ ● ♦ ❍ ⏹ ☠Ⅱ. 略Part Three DialoguesDialogue 1Ⅰ. 1.

My topic today is about our college life. Several months ago I was sitting in the classroom of my senior high school, struggling for my dream to be a college student. At that time, I knew I should and must go on with my school education in this autumn, for I want to be good, just good. I will be a true man in the future who can live on my own. I will be a true man who can do something for my mother and my motherland.When I came here, I found our college was not the same as the one in my imagination. But they are both good. I think I have adapted to my college life. And I can even say I have got accustomed to it.In order to succeed in the future, I have made careful plans. Firstly, I will work harder and try to master English and computer technology. Secondly, I hope I can work in the student union to get some practical experience. Thirdly, I will make new plans. That’s all. Thank you.参考译文：我的大学生活1 大学生活伊始，我发觉它与高中生活大不相同。
