上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--ST 6

Sample test 6.Part A. Spot dictation. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Remember you will hear the passage only once.The development of the space shuttle has dramatically reduced the cost of sending loads into space. The shuttle takes off from earth like a rocket and lands again like a huge aircraft. It can transport not only its own crew but also passengers and has a huge cargo hold which is capable of carrying large satellites or a space laboratory. Before the space shuttle was created, it was necessary to plan trips into space several years in advance. However, for the rest of the century, it should be possible to make space flights every week or so. Any scientist or engineer needing to travel into orbit was simply take the next shuttle flight, stay as long as necessary and then return at his or her convenience. It is difficult to imagine the immense opportunities created by the shuttle. One of the greatest advantages of having a reusable space vehicle is that it can take one load after another into orbit. Very large space stations could not be launched in their complete form directly from earth, but they could be built piece by piece in space. The space shuttle is likely to be used as a general work horse for the rest of the century, and the building of such stations in orbit should become common place. Once these huge orbiting space stations are completed, they are likely to become the platforms from which hundreds of robots space ships could be launched cheaply and easily to explore the solar system and to certain mining operations on the moon. The technology needed for this is already developed and available. And because of commercial and military pressures to develop space technology, it is likely the governments will be increasingly willing to start extensive programs of space engineering, exploration and research.Part B. Listening comprehension.1. Statements. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short statements. These statements will be spoken only once. And you will not find them written on the paper. So you must listen carefully. When you hear a statement read the answer choices and decide which one is closest in meaning to the statement you have heard. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Now let’s begin with question number one.1) After working at the same company for 45 years the chief accountant wasn’t too unhappy to be retiring in the coming August.2) I can’t go to the concert tonight. You might ask Betty for a ride. And I think she is leaving around 7:30.3) It’s stuffing here but I can’t open that window. I am afraid it’s the kind it doesn’t open. I need to go out for a while for fresh air.4) This has been an unusually cool summer. I actually had to get out my wool sweaters in August, which I never did in the past.5) I don’t really know what qualifications are needed for the job. But I think a degree in modern language or political science would be useful.6) Business people spent a lot of time in meetings, and meetings come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from formal committee meetings to informal one on one meetings.7) Crimes figures released today show that illegal drugs worth more than 500 million dollarswere seized by customs officers last year.8) It was the worst earth quake that hit the country for over 2 decades. Thousands of residents have a second night camped out in parks and gardens.9) Almost no one I’ve talked to disapprove of providing child care for working women, as this is becoming a popular idea these days.10) If the local gove rnment make stricter laws factories won’t discharge waste products into rivers and lakes, the environment will certainly improve within a few years.2. Talks and conversations. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short talks and conversations. After each of these you will hear a few questions. Listen carefully, because you will hear the talk or conversation and the questions only once. When you hear a question read the four answer choices and choose the best answer to that question. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet.Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following talk.This is the final call for Olympic Airways to Athens flight number OA260. Any remaining passengers must go immediately to gate two while the flight now is closing. Olympic Airways flight number OA260 is closing now at gate two. Scandinavian Airlines to Stockholm flight number SK528 is now boarding at gate four. Passengers to New York British Airways regrets to advise a delay of 35 minutes on their flight number BA175 to New York. That is a delay of 35 minutes on British Airways flight number BA175 to New York. Austrian Airlines to Vienna flight number OS455 now boarding at gate 8. Austrian Airlines flight number OS455 boarding now at gate 8.Questions:11) Where is this announcement most probably made?12) Which of the following statements is true about the Olympic Airways flight to Athens?13) Where is the Scandinavian Airlines flight scheduled to fly?14) According to the announcement how much longer will passengers to New York have to wait?15) According to the announcement at which gate are passengers to Vienna boarding? Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following talk.Moving away from newsp apers. Let’s now focus on magazines. Now the first magazine was a little periodical called The Review. And it was started in London in 1704. It looked a lot like the newspapers of the time, but in terms of its content it was much different. Newspapers were concerned mainly with news events, but The Review focused on important domestic issues of the day as well as the policies of the government. Now in England at that time people could still be thrown in jail for publishing articles that were critical of the king. And that’s what happened to Daniel Defoe, he was the out-spoken founder of The Review. Defoe actually wrote the first issue of The Review from prison. You see, he had been arrested because of his writing set criticize the policies of the church of England, which was headed by the king. After his release Defoe continued to produce The Review, and the magazine started to appeal on a more frequent schedule about 3 times a week. It didn’t take long for other magazines to start popping up. In 1709 a magazine called The Tablet began publication. This new magazine contain a mixture of news, poetry, political analysis and philosophical essays.Questions:16) What is the main topic of the talk?17) What is significant about the review?18) According to the speaker how was the review different from early newspapers?19) Why was Daniel Defoe arrested?20) What does the speaker say about the tadler?Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following conversation.M: Now, could you tell me your name, please?W: Yes, officer. It’s Daniels. Mrs. Jennifer Daniels.M: And could I have your address too, please?W: Yes, of course. It’s 27th Springfield Road Bristol.M: So could you tell me please exactly what you saw the incident?W: Yes, well, I was just coming out of the supermarket exit, when all of a sudden I heard this cry. And when I turned around to see what it was I saw this man sort of tugging at this woman’s handbag, and she was hitting him with her free hand. And then he pushed her and she fell to the ground. He then ran off on the street around the corner.M: I see. And could you describe the man for me?W: Well, mm, let me see. He was medium height, about 30. It all happen so quickly, it’s hard to remember.M: Do please try. It could be very important in helping us to catch him.W: Oh, yes, I do remember something else. He was wearing a yellow jacket. You know, like inner acts or thing, and jeans, blue jeans.M: Did you notice the color of his hair by any chance?W: Oh, dark, I should say. Yes, dar k brown. And that’s all about I can remember I am afraid. It was very wavy.M: Thank you very much Mrs. Daniels. You’ve been very helpful. We will probably be in touch.Questions:21) Who was asking Mrs. Daniels most probably?22) Where did the incident take place?23) According to Mrs. Daniels about what age was the man involved?24) What was the man wearing?25) What color was the man’s hair as far as Mrs. Daniels could remember?Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following talk.There is a great deal of land in the United States, but there are also a great many people. Where did the people come from? The first Americans were Indians. Today there are about 900,000 American Indians. There is one part of the country with a specially large Indian population. That is the southwest. Blacks first came to America from Africa as slaves. President Lincoln freed the slaves in 1863. About 11 percent of the present American population are blacks. The first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Soon immigrants began to arrive from many other countries. And they are still arriving. In 1790, the new nation had fewer than 4 million. Today there are more than 210,000,000. These include people from all parts of the world.Questions:26) What might be the best title for this passage?27) How much is the American Indian population?28) Who were the first people living in America?29) What is the current size of the American population?30) According to the passage which of the following statements is true?Part C. Listening and translation.1. Sentence translation. Directions: Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.1) Watching TV was a leisure activity that occupy the most time, 2.6 hours per day, accounting for about half of the leisure time on average for both men and women.2) Researchers in the US and Japan have concluded that diet rich in fruit and vegetable juice may substantially lower the risk of certain diseases.3) The majority of my friends are worried about crime, because the economy isn’t good, and street gangs are getting stronger.4) The United States president has said that the Star War’s project will not go ahead if there is a new arms agreement with Russia.5) The latest inflation figure was issued today. The current inflation rate is 7.5 percent. That’s one percent up on last year.2. Passage translation. Directions: Listen and translate each passage you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below. You may take notes while you are listening.1) Recently I’ve been doing a lot more shopping on the internet because a lot of the retailers have websites and it’s cheaper sometimes to go right to their websites and get exactly what you want. Sometimes it’s 50 percent less than what you would pay if you were at a regular store. So there is no point in going to the mall when you can just do it at home. And it’s fast too. You can get things sent to you almost right away. I love shopping on the internet.2) I am definitely not an internet shopper. I am not a catalogue shopper either. I like going into a store and physically seeing something. If I am going to wear it, I like trying it on. I even like trying things on that I am not going to get. I like window shopping. I really like the experiences of shopping. I really like going into the department store, especially when it’s not crowded. I also like discount stores to look for bargains.。

According to American law, if someone is accused of a crime, he or she is considered innocent until the court proves that the person is guilty. In other words, it is the responsibility of the court to prove that a person is guilty. It is not the responsibility of the person to prove that he or she is innocent.In order to arrest a person, the police have to be reasonably sure that a crime has been committed. The police must give the suspect the reasons why they are arresting him and tell him his rights under the law. Then the police take the suspect to the police station to “book” him. “Bookin g means that the name of the person and the charges against him are formally listed at the police station. The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge. The judge decides whether the suspect should be kept in jail or released. If the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels that he will return to court rather than run away—for example, because he owns a house and has a family—he can go free. Otherwise, the suspect must put up bail. At this time, too, the judge will appoint a cour t layer to defend the suspect if he can’t afford one.The suspect returns to court a week or two later. A lawyer from the district attorney’s office presents a case against the suspect. This is called a hearing. The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses. The judge at thehearing then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial. If the judge decides that there is sufficient evidence to call for a trial, he or she sets a date for the suspect to appear in court to formally plead guilty or not guilty.At the trial, a jury of 12 people listens to the evidence from both attorneys and hears the testimony of the witnesses. Then the jury goes into a private room to consider the evidence and decide whether the defendant is guilty of the crime. If the jury decides that the defendant is innocent, he goes free. However, if he is convicted, the judge sets a date for the defendant to appear in court again for sentencing. At this time, the judge tells the convicted person what his punishment will be. The judge may sentence him to prison, order him to pay a fine, or place him on probation.The American justice system is very complex and sometimes operates slowly. However, every step is designed to protect the rights of the people. These individual rights are the basis, or foundation, of the American government.1. What is the main idea of the passage?(A) The American court system requires that a suspect prove that he or she is innocent.(B) The US court system is designed to protect the rights of the people.(C) Under the American court system, judge decides if a suspect is innocent or guilty.(D) The US court system is designed to help the police present a case against the suspect.2. What follows ‘in other words’ (para.1)?(A) An example of the previous sentence.(B) A new idea about the court system.(C) An item of evidence to call for a trial. 5(D) A restatement of the previous sentence.3. According to the passage, ‘he can go free’ (para.3) means _________.(A) the suspect is free to choose a lawyer to defend him(B) the suspect does not have to go to trial because the judge has decided he is innocent(C) the suspect will be informed by mail whether he is innocent or not(D) the suspect does not have to wait in jail or pay money until he goes to trial4. What is the purpose of having the suspect pay bail?(A) To pay for the judge and the trial.(B) To pay for a court lawyer to defend the suspect.(C) To ensure that the suspect will return to court.(D) To ensure that the suspect will appear in prison.5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A) The American justice system sometimes operates slowly.(B) The police can arrest a suspect without giving any reasons.(C) It is the responsibility of the suspect to prove he is innocent.(D) The jury considers the evidence in the court room.Questions 6—10So you’ve got an invention—you and around 39,000 others each year, according to 2002 statistics!The 64,000-dollar question, if you have come up with a device which you believe to be the answer to the energy crisis or you’ve invented a lawnmower which cuts grass with a jet of water (not so daft, someone has invented one), is how to ensure you’re the one to reap the rewards of your ingenuity. How will all yougarden shed boffins out there keep others from capitalizing on your ideas and lining their pockets at your expense?One of the first steps to protect your interest is to patent your invention. That can keep it out of the grasp of the pirates for at least the next 20 years. And for this reason inventors in their droves beat a constant trail from all over the country to the doors of an anonymous grey-fronted building just behind London’s Holborn to try and patent their devices.The building houses the Patent Office. It’s an ant h eap of corridors, offices and filing rooms—a sorting house and storage depot for one of the world’s biggest and most varied collections of technical data. Some ten million patents—English and foreign—are listed there.file, catalogue after catalogue detail the brain-children of inventors down the centuries, from a 1600’s machine gun designed to fire square bullets at infidels and round ones at Christians, to present-day laser, nuclear and computer technology.The first ‘letters patent’ were granted as long ago as 1449 to a Flemish craftsman by the name of John Utynam. The letters, written in Latin, are still on the office. They were granted by King Henry VI and entitled Utynam to ‘import into this country’ his knowledge of making stained glass windows in o rder to install such windows at Eton College.Present-day patents procedure is a more sophisticated affair than getting a go-ahead note from the monarch. These days the strict procedures governing whether you get a patent for your revolutionary mouse-trap or solar-powered back-scratcher have been reduced to a pretty exact science.From start to finish it will take around two and a half years and cost ￡165 forthe inventor to gain patent protection for his brainchild. That’s if he’s lucky. By no means all who apply to the Patent Office, which is a branch of the Department of Trade, get a patent. 6A key man at the Patent Office is Bernard Partridge, Principal Examiner (Administration), who boils down to one word the vital ingredient any inventor needs before he can hope to overcome the many hurdles in the complex procedure of obtaining a patent—‘ingenuity’.6. People take out a patent because they want to __________.(A) keep their ideas from being stolen(B) reap the rewards of somebody else’s ingenuity(C) visit the patent office building(D) come up with more new devices7. The phrase ‘the brain-children of inventors’ (para.5) means _________.(A) the children with high intelligence(B) the inventions that people come up with(C) a device that a child believes to be the answer to the energy crisis(D) a lawnmower that an individual has invented to cut grass8. What have the 1600’s machine gun and the present-day laser in common?(A) Both were approved by the monarch.(B) Both were granted by King Henry VI.(C) Both were rejected by the Department of Trade.(D) Both were patented.9. Why is John Utynam still remembered?(A) He is the first person to get a patent for his revolutionary mouse-trap.(B) He is the first person to be granted an official patent.(C) He is the first person to be an officer in the Patent Office.(D) He is the first person to have invented a lawnmower.10. According to the passage, how would you describe the complex procedure of obtaining a patent for an invention?(A) It is rather expensive.(B) It is an impossible task.(C) It is extremely difficult.(D) It is very tricky.Questions 11—15All living cells on earth require moisture for their metabolism. Cereal grains when brought in from the field, although they may appear to be dry, may contain 20 per cent of moisture or more. If they are stored in a bin thus, there is sufficient moisture in them to support several varieties of insects. These insects will, therefore, live and breed and, as they grow and eat the grain, it provides them with biological energy for their life processes. This energy will, just as in man, become manifest as heat. Since the bulk of the grain acts as an insulator, the temperature surrounding the colony of insects will rise so that, not only is part of the grain spoiled by the direct attack of the insects but more may be damaged by the heat. Sometimes, the temperature may even rise to the point where the stored grain catches fire. For safe storage, grain must be dried until its moisture content is 13 per cent or less.Traditional arts of food preservation took advantage of this principle in a number of ways. The plant seeds, wheat, rye, rice, barley millet, maize, are themselves structures evolved by nature to provide stored food. The starch of their endosperm is used for the nourishment of the embryo during the time itover-winters (if it is a plant of the Temperate Zone) and until its new leaves have 7grown and their chlorophyll can trap energy from the sunlight to nourish the new-grown plant. The separation by threshing and winnowing is, therefore, to some degree part of a technique of food preservation.The direct drying of other foods has also been used. Fish has been dried in many parts of the world besides Africa. Slices of dried meat are prepared by numerous races. Biltong, a form of dried meat, was a customary food for travelers. The drying of meat or fish, either in the sun or over a fire, quite apart from the degree to which it exposes the food to infection by bacteria and infestation by insects, tends also to harm its quality. Proteins are complex molecular structures which are readily disrupted. This is the reason why dried meat becomes tough and can, with some scientific justification, by likened to leather. The technical process of drying foods indirectly by pickling them in the strong salt solutions commonly called ‘brine’ does less harm to the protein than straightforward drying, particularly if this is carried out at high temperatures. It is for this reason that many of the typical drying processes are not taken to completion. That is to say, the outer parts may be dried leaving a moist inner section. Under these circumstances, preservation is only partial. The dried food keeps longer than it would have undried but it cannot be kept indefinitely. For this reason, traditional processes are to be found in many parts of the world in which a combination of partial drying and pickling in brine is used. Quite often the drying involves exposure to smoke. Foods treated in this way are, besides fish of various sorts, bacon, hams and numerous types of sausages.11. According to the passage, insects spoil stored cereals by ________.(A) consuming all the grain themselves(B) generating heat and raising the surrounding temperature(C) increasing the moisture content in the grain(D) attacking each other for more grain12. In speaking of the traditional methods of food preservation, the writer ________.(A) expresses doubts about direct smoking(B) describes salting and pickling as ineffective(C) condemns direct drying(D) mentions threshing and winnowing13. Direct drying affects the quality of meat or fish because ________.(A) it exposes them to insects(B) it makes them hard(C) it damages the protein(D) it develops bacteria14. We can learn from the passage that salting preserves food by ________.(A) destroying the protein(B) drawing away moisture from the food(C) drying the food in the sun(D) dressing the food15. According to the passage, partial drying is useful because ________.(A) it damages the protein less(B) it can be combined with pickling(C) it leaves the inside moist(D) it makes the food soft8Questions 16—20We are moving inexorably into the age of automation. Our aim is not to devise a mechanism which can perform a thousand different actions of any individual man but, on the contrary, one which could by a single action replace a thousand men.Industrial automation has moved along three lines. First there is the conveyor belt system of continuous production whereby separate operations are linked into a single sequence. The goods produced by this well-established method are untouched by the worker, and the machine replaces both unskilled and semiskilled. Secondly, there is automation with feedback control of the quality of the product: here mechanisms are built into the system which can compare the output with a norm, that is, the actual product with what it is supposed to be, and then correct any shortcomings. The entire cycle of operations dispenses with human control except in so far as monitors are concerned. One or two examples of this type of automation will illustrate its immense possibilities. There is a factory in the U.S.A. which makes 1,000 million electric light bulbs a year, and the factory employs three hundred people. If the preautomation techniques were to be employed, the labour force required would leap to 25,000.A motor manufacturing company with 45,000 spare parts regulates their entire supply entirely by computer. Computers can be entrusted with most of the supervision of industrial installations, such as chemical plants or oil refineries. Thirdly, there is computer automation, for banks, accounting departments, insurance companies and the like. Here the essential features are the recording, storing, sorting and retrieval of information.The principal merit of modern computing machines is the achievement of their vastly greater speed of operation by comparison with unaided human effort; a task which otherwise might take years, if attempted at all, now takes days or hours.One of the most urgent problems of industrial societies rapidly introducing automation is how to fill the time that will be made free by the machines which will take over the tasks of the workers. The question is not simply of filling empty time but also of utilizing the surplus human energy that will be released. We are already seeing straws in the wind: destructive outbursts on the part of youth whose work no longer demands muscular strength. While automation will undoubtedly do away with a large number of tedious jobs, are we sure that it will not put others which are equally tedious in their place? For an enormous amount of sheer monitoring will be required. A man in an automated plant may have to sit for hours on and watching dials and taking decisive action when some signal informs him that all is not well. What meaning will his occupation bear for the worker? How will he devote his free time after a four or five hour stint of labour? Moreover, what, indeed, will be the significance for him of his leisure? If industry of the future could be purged of its monotony and meaninglessness, man would then be better equipped to use his leisure time constructively.16. The main purpose of automation is _________.(A) to devise the machine which could replace the semi-skilled(B) to process information as fast as possible(C) to develop an efficient labor-saving mechanism(D) to make an individual man perform many different actions17. The chief benefit of computing machines is ________.(A) their greater speed of operation(B) their control of the product quality(C) their conveyor belt system of continuous production9(D) their supervision of industrial installations18. One of the problems brought about by automation in industrial societies is _________.(A) plenty of information(B) surplus human energy(C) destructive outbursts(D) less leisure time19. Which of the following best explains the use of ‘stint’ (para.4)?(A) Effort.(B) Force.(C) Excess.(D) Period.20. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A) There is no automation with feedback control of the quality of the product.(B) Computers are reliable in any supervision of industrial installations.(C) The essential features for banks are the recording and sorting of information.(D) Automation will undoubtedly eliminate numerous tedious jobs.

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--Unit 6

中级口译听力教程第三版3AAn intermediate course of English listening. Third edition.Unit six. Part one. A news summary.3. Exercises. 1. Listen to the broadcast news summary, and then briefly answer the following questions.This is 4 o’clock. Here is the news summary. There has been a serious accident on the M6 motor way in Lancashire, in which as least 6 people have lost their lives. It happened early this morning near Preston, when a coach carrying 45 passengers collided with a heavy lorry. Rescue operations had been going on throughout the day and the section of the motor way has been closed to traffic. Important talks had been taking place at 10 Downing Street today between the prime minister and trade union leaders. They have agreed to work together to find ways of combating inflation and reducing the president level of unemployment in British industry. Meanwhile the government has failed to avert a national a bus strike. And the bus drivers’ union has announced that no buses will run for next Monday. The decision to go ahead of the strike was announced by a union spokesman at the end of a meeting earlier this afternoon, during which government representatives failed to persuade the union and the employers to agree on a new wage plan. The forest fire in southern France. Firemen from 6 different towns had been fighting all day to prevent the fire from spreading further. Latest reports say that the blaze had still not been brought under control. And an estimated 3 million pounds worth of damage has already been caused. Four people have died in the fire so far, and 20 more have been taken to hospital with burns and other injuries. The French government has asked all tourists to avoid the area. Police in Manchester had been continuing their search for the murder of 71 year old Mrs. Jane Symptoms, who was found beaten to death in the kitchen of her home 2 days ago. Articles found at the murder scene had been taken away for examination by police experts. And the detective superintendent in charge of the case has appealed for information from members of the public. This morning detectives began making house to house inquires in the immediate neighborhood.2. Listen again and then supply the missing information in the following passage.Part two. Statements. 2. Exercises. Listen and then choose the answer which is closed in meaning to each statement you hear.1) I haven’t had a ch ance to wear my new shirt yet. I have been meaning to exchange it for a larger size.2) I have tried several times to tell Kao that the concert begins at 8, but the line has been busy. Will you be seeing him anyway?3) At our first meeting I got the impression that Susan was really curious about me. She asked me repeatedly how I earned my living.4) Arther has 3 brothers living on 3 different continents. He gets incredible phone bills every month. They haven’t been able to see each other for years.5) Robert was away from campus the whole week, and thus missed his chance to meet the well-known actress, who gave a speech to the students.6) Apart from meeting her colleagues in the office Jennifer has no one to talk to, she has felt lonely since her son left for the United States.7) Finding employment is not easy these days in this part of the country. If I were you I would be delighted with such a job offer.8) There is a bus that can get you to the airport, but you can’t rely on it. I can give you a r ide if you can wait while I put these things away.9) It seems that we shall have to go without Louise. She was supposed to arrive by 10 o’clock to join us, but it’s already 11:30.10) Since none of us knew that Virginia had gone steady with any young man, the news of her marriage caused us no little surprise.11) Linda was called into the manager’s office this morning, she was told that unless she came to work regularly she will lose her job.12) The due day for our final paper is still 4 weeks away. But the professor said not to wait until the last minute to hand it in.13) I’ve been living off campus this year, and I am going to next year too. It’s so much nicer than living in the dormitory sharing the bathroom and the kitchen.14) It looks that I have to pay a fine for this book, the library book must be returned within one week according the regulations.15) They have announced that the flight has been delayed until 4 o’clock. I am just wondering how we are going to kill these 2 hours.16) Fashio ns will always change with time. At first many people didn’t like that kind of music, but after a while it caught on.17) After preparing for such a long time, Barbra finally discovered she was illegible for the song contest to be held in February next year.18) Obviously Carol has been unhappy with her own job. She works as a nurse but she would rather teach at a primary or secondary school.19) Sera used to teach psychology at a good university in Glasgow. But now she is a corporate statistician based in London. She earns much more than before.20) They are going to change the meeting from Wednesday to Friday, but it’s all the same to me. My schedule this week is not tight at all.Part 3. 3. Exercises.1. The introduction of radio. Listen to a short talk about the introduction of radio broadcasting. Choose the best answer to each question you hear.With the introduction of radio newspaper publishers wondered how broadcasting would affect them. Many fear that radio as a quick and easy means of keeping people informed would displace the newspaper industry all together. Others hope that the brief news cast heard on the air would stimulate listeners’ interest in the story so they buy the newspaper to get more information. The second idea turned out to be closer to the truth. Radio and print were not substitutes for each other, but actually support each other. You see the relationship between different media is not always one of displacement but can be one of reinforcement. However this is not always the case. Take television and motion pictures for example, with the popularization of TV, the motion picture industry suffered greatly. Movie attendants dropped when audience members chose to stay at home and being entertained. Likewise when a football game was shown on the air, the stands were often empty, because fans chose to watch the game at home.Questions:1) What is the main topic of this talk?2) According to the speaker what is the relationship between the radio and the newspaper industry?3) According to the speaker how did the introduction of television affect motion pictures?4) Why does the speaker mention a football game?2. Weather forecast. Listen to the following weather report and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.M: Now the weather forecast.W: Well, southern Europe will once again get the best of the weekend weather. And if your holiday starts this weekend then southern Spain is the place to be, with temperatures of 34 degrees along the Mediterranean coast. At the eastern end of the Med too, you can expect uninterrupted sunshine, and temperatures of up to 32 degrees Celsius in Greece, and southeast Italy. But further north the weather is not so settled. Much of France, Belgium and the Netherlands will be cloudy with occasional rain and maximum degrees will be around 22 degrees. Very disappointing for this time of the year. Scotland and Northern Ireland will have heavy rain for much of the weekend and temperatures will drop to a cool 17 degrees. Across most of England the weather will be cloudy but mainly dry with sunny periods. And when the sun does come out temperatures could rise to a maximum of 23 degrees. Questions:1) What temperature will be reached in Southern Spain at the weekend?2) What’s the weather going to be in Greece this weekend?3) What will the weather be in many parts of France, Belgium and the Netherlands?4) What about the weather in Scotland and Northern Ireland from much of the weekend?5) What will the weather be across most of England this weekend?3. Dream dates. Listen to an advertisement and choose the best answer to each question you hear.M: I don’t enjoy dating anymore. I can’t seem to find anyone I have anything in common with. W: I am tired of being alone.M: I have tried everything.W: I want to meet Mr. Right.M(host): Can’t meet your perfect match? Well, don’t give up. Get serious.

Sentence translation. Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.1) Our firm is a joint stock enterprise based in San Francisco, and we employ about 200,000 people around the world.2) This company has a registered capital of 20 million US dollars, and specializes in importing and exporting a great variety of agricultural products.3) A car that was stolen from the supermarket parking lot was found near an old house by the rail road tracks. No one has been arrested yet in connection with the crime.4) Positioned as an ideal platform for light industrial products Hongkong spring fare continued to attract buyers from all over the world. A total of 4,800 buyers attended the four day event.5) The second Asia EXPO was held from 6th to 8th of June 2007 in Warsaw Poland. This year’s show housed the total of 483 boos presented by 436 Asian suppliers. And attracted a total of 40,000 buyers.2. Passage translation. Listen and translate each passage you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below. You may take notes while you are listening.1) We have chosen this wooden construction exhibition since, to our point of view, the exhibition is well positioned and aimed at target customers. Those who would like to buy or build a wooden house instinction from other construction exhibitions which are mainly meant for construction market experts. However, we think it’s importa nt that in the future the exhibition date should include the weekend. This would undoubted attract many visitors and would consequently be appreciated by exhibitors.2) The problem of waste disposal is not going to disappear anytime. In fact it is growing by the minute. In Japan alone consumers throw away some 20 million TVs, washing machines, refrigerators and air conditioners each year. In Europe 6 million tons of electrical and electronic equipment were produced in 2004 alone. And that volume is expected to increase 3 to 5 percent per year, which means by 2015 it could nearly double.
