Children were responsible for the vast majority of cases. 95% of objects removed from noses, and 85% from ears. Every year, an average of 1,218 nose,and 2,479 ear removals took place between 2010 and 2016. ( 17 ) According to England's hospital episodes statistics, children aged 1 to 4 were the most likely to need help from doctors for a foreign object in their nose. 5 to 9 -year-olds come to the hospital with something in their ears the most.Jewelry items accounted for up to 40% of cases in both the ears and noses of children. Paper and plastic toys for the items removed next most from noses. Cotton buds, and pencils were also found in years.( 18 ) According to the study, the occurrence of foreign objects in children is generally attributed to curiosity. Children have an impulse to explore their noses and ears. This results in the accidental entry of foreign objects. Any ear, nose and throat surgeon has many weird stories about wonderful objects found in the noses and ears of children and adults. Batteries can pose a particular danger. In all cases, prevention is better than cure. This is why many toys contain warnings about small parts. Recognizing problems early and seeking medical attention is important.Question16 What does England spend an annual£3 million on?A ) Providing routine care for small childrenB ) Paying hospital bills for emergency cases.C ) Doing research on ear, nose and throat diseases.D ) Removing objects from patients’ noses and ears.Question17 What do we learn from England's hospital episodes statistics?A ) Many children like to smell things they find or play with.B ) Many children like to put foreign objects in their mouth.C ) Five-to nine-year-olds are the most likely to put things in their ears.D ) Children aged one to four are often more curious than older children.Question18 What is generally believed to account for children putting things in their ears or noses?A ) They tend to act out of impulse.B ) They want to attract attentions.C ) They are unaware of the potential risks.D ) They are curious about these body parts.Passage 2( 21 ) Good morning. Today, I would like to talk to you about my charity Re-bicycle.But before that, let me introduce someone. This is Layla Rahimi. She was so scared when she first moved to new Zealand. Does she struggled to leave the house? I would spend days working up the courage to walk to the supermarket for basic supplies. ( 19 ) After a few months of being quite down and unhappy, she was invited to join a local bike club. At this time, Re-bicycle got involved and gave Layla a second-hand bicycle. Within weeks, her depression had begun to ease as she cycled. The bicycle totally changed her life, giving her hope and a true feeling of freedom. ( 20 ) To date, Re-bicycle has donated more than 200 bikes to those in need and is now expanding bike-riding lessons as a demand source. With a bike, new comers here can travel farther but for almost no cost. The 3 hours a day they used to spend walking to and from English language lessons has been reduced to just 1hour.( 21 ) Our bike riding lessons are so successful that we are urgently looking for more volunteers, learning to ride a bike is almost always more difficult for an adult. And this can take days and weeks rather than hours. So if any of you have some free time during the weekend, please come join us at Re-bicycle and make a difference in someone’s life.Question 19. What did Re-bicycle do to help Layla Rahimi?A ) It paid for her English lessons.B ) It gave her a used bicycle.C ) It delivered her daily necessities.D ) It provided her with physical therapy.Question 20.

The results are both interesting and humorous. The scientists first sent some mice and especially designed cage to the international space station.The cage allowed them to study the behavior of the mice remotely from earth, via video.As you’ll notice in the video, ( 23 ) the mice definitely seem uncomfortable at the beginning of the experiment.They move around clumsily, drifting within the small confines of the cage and do their best to figure out which way is up, but without success. However, it’s not long before the mice begin to catch on.They adapt remarkably well to their new environment, and even use the lack of gravity to their advantage as they push themselves around the cage. That’s when things really get wild. ( 24 ) The 11th day of the experiment shows the mice are not just dealing with the gravity change, but actually seem to be enjoying it. Several of the mice are observed running around the cage walls. The scientists wanted to see whether the mice would continue doing the same kinds of activities they were observed doing on earth.( 25 ) The study showed that the mice kept much of the routines intact, including cleaning themselves and eating when hungry.Question 22 : What do NASA scientists want to learn about?A ) How mice imitate human behavior in space.B ) How low gravity affects the human body.C ) How mice interact in a new environment.D ) How animals deal with lack of gravity.Question 23: What does the passage say about the mice at the beginning of the experiment?A ) They were not used to the low-gravity environment.B ) They found it difficult to figure out where they were.C )They found the space in the cage too small to stay in.D ) They were not sensitive to the changed environment.Question 24: What was observed about the mice on the 11th day of the experiment?A ) They tried everything possible to escape from the cage.B ) They continued to behave as they did in the beginning.C ) They already felt at home in the new environment.D ) They had found a lot more activities to engage in.Question 25: What did the scientists find about the mice from the experiment?A ) They repeated their activities every day.B ) They behaved as if they were on Earth.C ) They begin to eat less after some time.D ) They changed their routines in space.答案1-7 ACBABDC8-15 ACDADBCB16-25 DCDBABDDCB。

2024年6月四级第一套解析

2024年6月四级第一套解析

2024年6月四级第一套解析一、听力部分哇塞,2024年6月四级第一套的听力部分还真有点小难度呢。

就说那个长对话吧,语速感觉比之前练习的都要快一些。

那些个连读、弱读的地方,真的很容易让人懵圈。

我当时听的时候,心里就在想,这可咋整呀。

不过呢,里面有些话题还挺有趣的,像是关于旅行的那个对话,提到了好多小众的旅游景点,要是能真的去那些地方玩,肯定超酷。

还有听力里的短文部分,有的文章结构好复杂。

感觉出题人就是故意想考我们对文章整体的理解能力。

那些细节题啊,稍微一走神就错过了。

但是有个好处就是,它的主题都还比较贴近生活,像环保啊、文化交流之类的。

所以只要平时多关注关注这些方面的新闻啥的,做起来可能会更得心应手一些。

二、阅读部分阅读可是四级的重头戏呢。

这第一套的阅读,词汇量要求真的不低。

好多单词我都看着眼熟,但是就是想不起来准确的意思。

比如说那个阅读文章里的“sophisticated”这个词,我当时就卡了一下,后来才反应过来是“复杂的、精致的”意思。

在阅读理解的题型方面,那种细节推理题真的很折磨人。

要在一大段文字里找那么一丁点儿的线索,就像大海捞针一样。

不过那些主旨题倒是还好一点,如果读文章的时候能抓住开头和结尾的关键句,基本上能猜出个大概。

还有就是匹配题,要把长长的句子和段落对应起来,真的要很细心才行,一不小心就会张冠李戴。

三、写作部分写作的题目也很有意思。

我当时拿到题目的时候,脑子就开始飞速运转了。

要想写出一篇出彩的作文,首先得有个好的开头。

我就想了个比较俏皮的开头句,想吸引一下阅卷老师的注意力。

然后中间部分呢,我就尽量用一些比较高级的句式,像定语从句、倒装句之类的。

但是又不能用得太生硬,不然就会显得很刻意。

说到论据部分,我就结合了自己的一些生活经历。

比如说要论证某个观点的时候,我就讲了我在社团活动里遇到的类似情况。

这样写出来的文章感觉就很接地气,也比较有说服力。

不过呢,写作的时候时间真的很紧张,我还差点没写完,最后草草结尾了,现在想想还挺遗憾的呢。

2023年12月四级听力第一套原文第一节 (长对话)M: Good morning, Jane. I wanted to talk to you about a project I’ve been working on.W: Morning, Bill. Sure, go ahead.M: Well, as you know, our company is expanding its operations globally. I’ve been assigned the task of identifying potential markets for our products.W: That sounds like a challenging job, Bill. So, what have you found so far?M: I’ve done some research, and I think we should focus on two key markets - China and India. These two countries have a large population and a growing middle class.W: That makes sense. But what about the competition in these markets? I’ve heard that both China and India have a lot of local companies.M: You’re right, Jane. The competition is fierce in these markets. However, our products have unique features that set us apart from the local companies. I believe we can offer something different and attract customers.W: That’s a good point, Bill. What’s your plan for entering these markets?M: I propose that we start by establishing partnerships with local distributors in China and India. They have better knowledge of the local market and customer preferences. This will help us gain a foothold and build a strong network of customers.W: That sounds like a solid plan. How soon do you think we can start implementing it?M: I’ve already reached out to a few potential partners in both countries. I think we can start the process within the next month.W: That’s great, Bill. I appreciate your hard work on this project. I’m confident that with your plan, we can successfully enter these markets.M: Thank you, Jane. I’m excited about this opportunity and I’ll do my best to make it a success.第二节 (短文)Narrator: Welcome to today’s lecture on sustainable agriculture. In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on sustainable practices in the agricultural sector. Sustainable agriculture refers to the production of food, fiber, or other plant or animal products using farming techniques that protect the environment, public health, human communities, and animal welfare.One key aspect of sustainable agriculture is soil conservation. Soil erosion is a major concern in many agricultural areas, as it leads to the loss of fertile topsoil. Tocombat this, farmers can implement measures such as contour plowing, terracing, and cover cropping to prevent soil erosion and improve soil quality.Another important component of sustainable agriculture is water management. In many regions, water scarcity is a significant issue. Farmers can adopt water-saving techniques such as drip irrigation, crop rotation, and rainwater harvesting to optimize water usage and reduce water wastage.Furthermore, sustainable agriculture also emphasizes biodiversity conservation. Monoculture farming, which involves growing only one type of crop, is detrimental to biodiversity. To promote biodiversity, farmers can implement practices such as agroforestry, which involves growing trees alongside crops, and maintaining natural habitats for beneficial organisms such as bees and birds.In addition to these practices, organic farming is also considered a sustainable approach to agriculture. Organic farmers avoid synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms. Instead, they rely on natural fertilizers, crop rotation, and biological pest control to maintain the health of their crops and minimize the negative impact on the environment.Overall, sustainable agriculture is crucial for ensuring food security and protecting the environment. By adopting sustainable practices, farmers can reduce their reliance on harmful chemicals, conserve natural resources, and contribute to the long-term sustainability of the agricultural sector.结束语以上是2023年12月四级听力第一套原文的内容。

The scientific evidence from countries like Australia, Canada, and the USA clearly indicates a decline in the birds' numbers.M: But can anyone be sure if the decline is really caused by the hunting or by climate change?W: It's caused by both in fact. We see more droughts in countries like Australia. Ducks are birds that feed and breed in areas where there is a lot of water, but their habitats have been shrinking in recent decades because of the droughts.5/ 16M: And I guess with fewer places to inhabit, they concentrate in greater numbers in few areas, which surely makes them easier targets for the hunters.W: It does. My grandfather was a duck hunter. He told me hunting ducks and geese began in the 19th century. They were easily found and plentifully available food source in farming areas, especially for poor immigrants.M: What do they use for hunting during that period?W: They use new types of guns, and birds could easily be shot down in flight, and in such great numbers that commercial hunting of ducks and geese became an industry. Yet, there's no commercial farming of these birds nowadays. Their meat is hardly eaten in western countries.M: No, duck hunting seemingly exists as the continuation of a tradition.W: Well, ducks have never been popular with farmers like my grandfather anyway because they sometimes destroy crops. In fact, farmers used to poison them in large numbers.M: That somehow doesn't surprise me. Nobody places much value on the lives of these poor birds or on their meat.Q8: What does the woman find unbelievable?A) The number of ducks has declined sharply in recent years.6/ 16B) Climate change has little effect on the lives of wild ducks.C) Duck meat is not eaten in Australia, Canada and the U.S.D) Duck hunting remains legal in many parts of the world.Q9: What does the woman say has caused the shrinking of ducks' habitats in Australia?A) Droughts.B) Bushfires.C) Farming.D) Hunting.Q10: Why is there no commercial farming of ducks and geese in western countries?A) They are not easy to domesticate.B) Their meat is not that popular.C) It is not environmentally friendly.D) It is not considered cost-effective.Q11: What does the woman say about farmers in her grandfather's time?A) They hunted ducks as a traditional sport.B) They killed wild ducks and geese for food.C) They raised ducks and geese for their eggs.D) They poisoned wild ducks in large numbers.7/ 16Long Conversation 2M: Okay, Miss Bright. I finished calculating. I estimate you have between 210 and 240 square meters of walls and ceiling.W: So how much would the pain job cost?M: That would depend on the quality of paint you choose. We carry two brands -one cost 60 cents every square meter, and the other 90 cents. The second is guaranteed to look great for about 10 years, whereas the cheaper one will start to dull after around 6 or 7 years.W: In that case, we would prefer the more expensive option.M: All right, then. So including labor costs, taxes, and everything, this job would come to $3,000.W: Emm, to be perfectly honest, that's more than I expected.M: Please bear in mind that the price includes moving all the furniture, and the whole task would take 2 days.W: Really? Why?M: Well, we can't paint the walls without clearing all the furniture first. So every time we paint a room, we first have to move the furniture to another room. So that takes more time. Plus, it requires two people, which works out more expensive.W: I see. But does that mean I could not live here in my own house during those 2 days?8/ 16M: That is correct.W: Oh well, that changes everything I'm afraid. I would have to stay with a friend or check into a hotel. I hadn't considered any of that. I'm starting to realize that painting my house is far more troublesome than I had anticipated.M: This is usually the case. Most of our clients go through the same realization.W: I see.M: You have my number. Please feel free to call me for any further questions.W: Thank you.Q12: What is the woman planning to do?A) Have her house repainted.B) Replace some of her old furniture.C) Move into a newly-painted house.D) Calculate the cost of the paint job.Q13: What is the woman's chief concern?A) How long the work will take.B) How much the work will cost.C) How the paint job is to be done.D) How many workers are needed.9/ 16Q14: What does the woman have to do while the paint job is being done?A) Cover up her furniture.B) Ask some friends for help.C)Stay somewhere else.D) Oversee the work herself.Q15: What has the woman come to realize at the end of the conversation?A) She could have asked a friend for help with the paint job.B) Painting a house involves more trouble than she thought.C) she should have repainted her house much earlier.D) Moving her furniture is harder than the paint job.Section CPassage 1Homework is an important part of schooling, but the purposes of giving children homework will change as they grow older. At the primary level, the main aim is to cultivate good habits, like learning to plan and exercising self discipline. During the secondary school years, extending what is learned at school is positively related to academic achievement. So the content of homework becomes more important.So how can you help your child do their best?10/ 16Creating an ideal working environment will make it easier for them to get down to their assignments quickly. Make sure it's free of distractions. And for primary school children at least somewhere near you. So you can answer questions and offer encouragement.You probably have to help younger children plan their session. But it's important that by the end of primary school, it's second nature get them to tell you everything they have to do, then encourage them to establish an order in which they do work.When there are several different assignments, make sure they begin with one they enjoy. So it seems easy to get started. It's best to take on the most difficult task second. Once they're settled, but before they get tired.If older children have more than an hour of homework, encourage them to schedule a short break to stretch.If you encourage them to tell you what they've learned, they'll absorb the information more deeply and remember it more readily.Q16: What is the main aim of homework for primary school kids?A) To cultivate good habits.B) To prepare for secondary school.C) To review what is learned in class.D) To stimulate interest in learning.11/ 16Q17: What does the passage suggest parents do to help their children?A) Discuss their academic achievements with them.B) Create an ideal study environment for them.C) Allow them to learn independently.D) Check their homework promptly.Q18: What should children do to deal with multiple assignments?A) Finish them before they get tired.B) Tackle the most difficult task first.C) Start with something they enjoy.D) Focus on the most important ones.Passage 2Workers at Mexican Oil Company will receive a health incentive of almost $300 a year if they meet certain body weight standards. To qualify for the bonus, they must maintain a healthy weight. For those who are overweight or obese, they can receive the bonus if they reduce their weight by 10 % during the year.Some applaud the policy as fair, because it rewards both individuals who maintain a healthy weight and those who are working towards achieving it.12/ 16But critics say the policy contradicts recommendations by many health experts who warned that a person's weight is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. That means weight can be hard for individuals to control, which makes the bonus unfair.Some experts say the policy is inconsistent with the science of what we know about body weight regulation. These experts argue that focusing on wage is the wrong approach. A more productive method of encouraging health among employees is to promote healthy behaviors. For example, companies can give workers gym memberships, or encourage participation in lectures on healthy eating and living. They can also reduce sweets and provide healthier snacks in the office and healthier meals at the company canteen. Or they can give employees more time during their lunch break to exercise. These are much better and much more productive ways for companies to move forward on their employees’well being.Q19: Who will qualify for the bonus in Mexican Oil Company?A) Workers who meet its body weight standards.B) Workers who can lose 30 pounds in a year.C) Workers who try the hardest to lose weight.D) Workers who are in the top 10% of the slimmest.13/ 16Q20.:What do critics think of Mexican Oil Company's bonus policy?A) Impractical.B) Inconsistent.C) Unmanageable.D) Unfair.Q21: What do experts propose companies do about workers’well being?A) Offer them much fatter bonuses.B) Improve working environment.C) Encourage healthy behaviors.D) Provide free lunch and snacks.Passage 3Campaigners have warned that the British government is not doing enough to prevent left-handed pupils from falling behind their peers. They claim that thousands of children are still being penalized for being left-handed. This is due to a lack of action from ministers who failed to take any meaningful action for years.It is feared that a failure to address early year challenges such as poor handwriting is too much more serious problems down the line with these pupils facing reduced career prospects.14/ 16Studies in recent years show that left-handed children are more likely to suffer with learning difficulties, and their scores are lower on IQ tests.Campaigners feel it's strange that children and British schools are penalized because they happen to be left-handed. They don't understand why successive governments have failed to act on this. They want the Department of Education to record which children areleft-handed and what their educational attainments are since they make up some 10 % of the population.In early year education, left-handed children are struggling and making a mess of their handwriting. Educators don't know how to deal with this. In many cases, there's no active help and a lack of teacher training. Campaigners point out that a high percentage of the prison population is left-handed. They say that these prison numbers are unusually high and ask why it is the case.Q22: Why are some people criticizing the British government?A) It has not done enough to help left-handed children.B) It has treated left-handed children as being disabled.C) It has not built facilities specially for the left-handed.D) It has ignored campaigns on behalf of the left-handed.15/ 16Q23: What do studies in recent years show about left-handed children?A) They are as intelligent as other children.B) They have a distinctive style of handwriting.C) They sometimes have psychological problems.D) They tend to have more difficulties in learning.Q24: What do the campaigners demand the Department of Education do?A) Punish teachers discriminating against left-handed students.B) Lay more emphasis on improving children’s mental health.C) Encourage students to develop various professional skills.D) Keep track of left-handed children’s school performance.Q25: What do the campaigners want to know about left-handed prisoners?A) How they can be reduced in number.B) Why their numbers are so high.C) What percentage they account for.D) If their percentage keeps increasing.答案1-7 CABCDBC 8-15 DABDABCB 16-25 ABCADCADDB16/ 16。

可编辑修改精选全文完整版Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversationsand 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both of the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices, marked A), B), C) and D),and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the center. Now let’s begin with the 4eight short conversations.1. M: I hear you have got a role in a play. How on earth did you get it? W: Well, when I heard the role was coming up, I read the book until I could learn the lines by heart and understood the character, and I had an interview and got it.Q: How did the woman get the role in the play?2. W: You seem to have had perfect health all your life.M: Yeah. I don’t remember ever having to see a doctor. I eat healthy food and take plenty of exercise. Most of all, I look at the sunny side even when things aren’t going so well.Q: What is the most important reason for the man’s perfect health?3. M: Susan, how long have we known each other?W: Let’s see. We met when you interviewed me for a teaching job. I wasthen in my senior year at college, and it has already been eight years since I graduated.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?4. W: It seems my pet dog doesn’t like the new place. He seemed to be happy all day in the countryside.M: Just ignore it. I still remember you were unhappy when you first moved here, but you are happy now. He is sure to overcome in a week or two.Q: What should the woman do according to the man?5. M: You said you got a bachelor’s degree in Engineering. Where did you get it?W: From Iowa State University. And I’m now working on my master’s. That’s part of the reason I applied for this position.Q: What can we learn about the woman?6. W: Do you daydream? Scientists recently say its advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.M: Even if it is true, I don’t think you can achieve success without hard work. It can at most make you feel happy.Q: What does the man probably agree with?7. M: Did you see the Oscar ceremony last night? It was also a fashion show when the stars stepped onto the red carpet. There were all types of fancy gowns and dresses.W: That is a great help for you and I believe you will be inspired by the show.Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?8. W: You are late again. Haven’t I told you that you should be away from home half an hour earlier?M: I’m sorry. I did do that and the traffic is OK, but I can’t do nothing in my car when I saw an old man in need of help.Q: What accounts for the man’s being late?Now you will hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneW: Tom, I suppose you must have heard about that great piece of concrete falling onto a car in that terrible accident in South Street yesterday, haven't you?M: Yes, I saw it in the paper. From a 200-foot-high building, wasn't it? W: Oh, yes. I saw the car; it was totally damaged.M: You usually park your car around there, don't you, Brenda?W: Yes, I left it in that very spot a couple of days ago, but yesterday it was parked up the road.M: You are lucky then.W: Out of luck, you mean! I'd be very pleased if my old car were smashed to bits. I could claim from the insurance company then.M: But you used to be so proud of your car, weren't you?W: It was years ago, but now there are all sorts of repairs to be done, and I just haven't got enough spare cash to put it right.M: You can always sell it, can't you?W: Few people are stupid enough to buy a car in that condition.M: The woman whose car was crushed yesterday was very annoyed about it. She will be given a new car by the builders, though.W: Yes, but her car was a specially built model that can't be replaced, and there was hardly anything wrong with it.M: Well, that's life! When people actually want to get rid of their cars, this sort of thing seldom happens, does it?Questions 9 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.9. What happened in South Street yesterday?10. Why does the woman consider herself unlucky in terms of yesterday's accident?11. How did the owner feel when she knew her car was crushed? Conversation TwoW: Good morning, sir. I understand that you have been robbed.M: I certainly have.W: When did that happen?M: About two hours ago.W: Why didn't you report it?M: I couldn't. I was bound.W: Please tell me exactly what happened.M: I was sitting in this room watching television when someone knocked on the door. Without thinking, I opened it.W: That wasn't very wise, sir.M: I know. I was expecting my wife, you see, and thought it was her.W: You should never open a door without looking to see who it is.M: Yes, I know, I regret it very much.W: What happened?M: Two men pushed into the flat. One of them threatened me with a knife while the other bound me.W: Can you remember what they look like?M: I'm afraid not. They were both wearing stockings over their faces. W: What did they take?M: My wallet, with $300 in it, my wristwatch, some of my wife's jewelry from our bedroom, and a silver photo frame.W: They don't seem to have done much damage to the flat.M: No. They had just begun to search my house when the dogs next door began to bark. They ran off then leaving me bound. It was some time before my wife returned and released me. I phoned the police at once.W: My men began searching the area as soon as we received your call. I can't promise you that we'll recover your property but we'll certainly doour best.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12. What does the woman do?13. Why did the man open the door without thinking?14. Why can't the man remember what the robbers look like?15. Why did the robbers leave in a hurry?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages, at the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the center.Passage OneOld age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50. In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were 18 years old. The findings came from a survey of more than 340 000 adults in the United States. The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress. Arthur Stone in theDepartment of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50s. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70s. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70s and 80s. The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory proposed by some sociologists is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What does the speaker say about the recent findings?17. What can be inferred about happiness from the passage?18. According to the researchers, why do people become happier when they get older?Passage TwoBarbara Jordan was a lawyer, educator and member of Congress.She was well known for her powerful, thoughtful speeches. Barbara Charline Jordan was born in the southern city of Houston, Texas in 1936. Her father was a Baptist minister. In high school, Barbara heard a speech from a black woman lawyer. She decided to become a lawyer herself. Later, Miss Jordan attended the all-black college, Texas Southern University in Houston. She led a championship debating team and became known for her speaking skills. She finished at the top of her class. Then she went onto Boston University law school in Boston, Massachusetts. After she finished law school, Miss Jordan returned to Texas. She began to work as a lawyer. She also discovered she was interested in politics. In 1966, she decided to seek a seat in the Texas Senate and won. Barbara Jordan became the first black person to serve in the Texas Senate since 1883. After eight years in the Texas Senate, Miss Jordan campaigned for a seat in the United States House of Representatives. She won easily. She became the first woman and first black to be elected to Congress to represent Texas. In Congress, Miss Jordan spoke for the poor, for women, for African-Americans and Latin-Americans. She believed strongly, however, in being loyal to her state and her political party. She considered the interests of the people of Texas before those of any other group. Then, in 1977, Miss Jordan returned to Texas. Barbara Jordan began teaching about political values at the University of Texas. Her classes were so popular that students hadto be chosen from a long list.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What's the passage mainly about?20. Why did Barbara Jordan decide to become a lawyer?21. What do we learn about Barbara Jordan when she was in Congress?22. What did Barbara Jordan do after she returned to Texas in 1977? Passage ThreeRoute 66 was once very famous in America. It has been called "The Main Street of America." The idea for Route 66 started in Oklahoma. Citizens there wanted to link their state with states to the east and west. By the 1920s, federal officials wanted to connect state roads to provide a shorter, faster way across the country. So a plan was developed to connect existing state roads into one long national highway. United States Highway 66 was established on November 11, 1926. It was one of the first federal highways. It crossed eight states. It was 3 800 km long. It passed through the center of many cities and towns. It crossed deserts, mountains, valleys and rivers. In the 1930s, people suffered through the Great Depression. In Oklahoma, many poor families lost their farms because of dust storms. So they traveled west to California on Route 66 in search of a better life. In the 1950s,holiday travel brought more and more families out West to explore. Route 66 represented the spirit of movement and excitement. Later, people were getting fewer and fewerkicks on Route 66. By 1962, parts of the road were closed because they were in poor condition. The federal government was building bigger highways. Cars and trucks could travel at higher speeds. People started driving on these new interstate highways instead of the old Route 66. Finally, in 1985, Route 66 was officially removed from the national highway system. People have formed groups to save parts of the old 66 and many of the interesting places to eat, stay and see along the way. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23. What do we learn about Route 66?24. Why did Route 66 represent the spirit of movement and excitement?25. What can be inferred about Route 66 from the passage?Section C3Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. Now listen to the passage. New Year in the United States is celebrated on January 1, the first day of the Gregorian Calendar. This is a federal holiday in the US. On this day, many people make resolutions to give away bad deeds and renew life with good ones. It's the time to remember the achievements and make merry for theNew Year. New Year is expected to bring good luck and charm for people and this is the reason why Americans love to celebrate it with fun and enjoyment. New Year's Eve celebration is a festival affair for the people of the US. They love to enjoy even the last minute of the going year and welcome the New Year with a blast. Midnight parties, luxury dinners, live music and the dance floors make a perfect New Year's Eve bash. Every year, a huge ball is organized at Times Square in New York City, which is watched over by large number of Americans. A minute before the New Year's Day, a brightly lighted ball is dropped slowly from the top of a pole. As soon as the ball reaches the ground, it gives a signal of New Year and everybody hugs and kisses each other wishing Happy New Year. Elsewhere, many of the New Year's parties in the US have a dress code or a theme. People cover their faces with masks. To have some merriment with the family members at the beginning of the New Year, people prefer to celebrate it at their homes. There is also a tradition to open champagne bottles as the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve. They unmask themselves only when the clock strikes 12. Now the passage will be read again.

2023年12月四级英语听力原文第一套全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm 9 years old. I go to Sunshine Elementary School. Today I want to tell you all about my summer vacation last year. It was the best summer ever!First, my family went on a big trip to the beach. We drove for like a hundred hours to get there. Ok, maybe not that long, but it felt like forever in the car! When we finally made it, I was so excited to see the ocean. The water was this amazing blue-green color and the waves crashed against the sand. It was beautiful!We stayed at this really cool beach house right on the water. Every morning I would wake up and run outside to feel the warm sand between my toes. My little brother Michael and I spent hours building sandcastles and burying each other in the sand. One time we tried to bury Dad too but he's too big!In the afternoons, we went swimming and boogie boarding in the waves. The first few times the waves knocked me over and I got all salty water up my nose. But I got better at riding themand had a blast! Michael was too little for the big waves so he just played in the shallow water, making sand pies.Our beach house had its own little pool too which was nice when we got tired of the ocean. Mom and Dad would relax on the deck with their books and drinks with umbrellas in them while we splashed around. In the evenings, we roasted marshmallows over the fire pit and looked at all the stars you could see without any city lights around.After a week at the beach, we went to visit my grandparents who live on a farm upstate. It's a long drive from the ocean but it's really pretty going through the mountains and forests. When we got there, my cousin Emma was already at the farm. Emma is 11 so she's a little older than me but we still have a lot of fun together.Grandma and Grandpa have a huge garden and they let us pick all kinds of fresh fruits and veggies right from the vines and bushes. We made yummy salads and smoothies with everything we harvested. I tried a cherry tomato straight off the plant for the first time - it was so flavorful and juicy, way better than the ones from the grocery store!My favorite part about the farm was getting to help take care of all the animals. Grandpa has cows, pigs, chickens, and even acouple of goats! In the mornings, Emma and I would go collect the eggs from the chicken coop for breakfast. The chickens are pretty funny, always running around and pecking at the ground.Then we helped Grandpa feed all the other animals: hay for the cows, slop for the pigs, and grain for the goats. The baby calves were my favorite - they were so cute and curious, sticking their big tongues out at us. The pigs always got super excited and ran around crazily whenever we brought their food. And the goats were silly, they tried to eat everything including my shirt!After chores in the mornings, we had the whole day to explore and play around the farm. There's a big red barn with a hay loft that was fun to jump into the hay piles from up high. We played hide and seek, climbed trees, and went on adventures through the woods and pastures. Sometimes Emma and I brought baskets to go pick wildflowers or blackberries growing along the trails.In the evenings, the whole family sat on the porch, sipping lemonade or iced tea and watching the fireflies come out as the sun went down. The lightning bugs blinked on and off all around us, it was magical! Before bedtime Grandpa would tell us exciting stories about when he was a kid growing up on the farm.After two fun weeks at the beach and on the farm, it was time to head back home to the city. I was really sad to leave, but also excited to see my friends again and tell them all about my awesome summer adventures. I can't wait for summer vacation to come again this year - maybe we'll go camping or visit Yellowstone National Park! No matter what, I'm sure it will be another summer to remember.So that was my summer in a nutshell. Thanks for listening, everyone! Being a kid is the best, isn't it? We get to have fun, use our imaginations, and make so many great memories. I feel lucky. Well, I should get going, it's almost time for recess! See you later!篇2Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I'm in 5th grade at Maple Tree Elementary School. Today I want to tell you all about my favorite hobby - raising chickens! It might sound a little weird for a kid to be into raising chickens, but I just love those silly birds.It all started a couple years ago when my dad built a really nice coop in our backyard. He used to have chickens when he was a kid growing up on a farm. My mom wasn't sure about thewhole chicken idea at first, but I begged and begged until they finally agreed to get a few hens.We went to this cool farm store and I got to pick out three little chicks. I named them Penny, Claudette, and Miss Fuzzybutt. They were just the most adorable little puffballs! We set them up in a big plastic tub in the laundry room with a heat lamp until they were old enough to go outside.Taking care of baby chicks is a lot of work! You have to make sure their bedding stays clean and dry. And they need food and water that gets refreshed all the time. But watching them run around and peep and nap under the heat lamp was just the cutest thing.Once they got bigger and could go out in the coop, that's when the real fun started! Penny was the first one who started laying eggs. I'll never forget the morning I went out and found that very first egg in the nesting box. I was SO proud!Over time, we ended up with way more eggs than my family could eat. That's when Mom had the idea to let me start selling them. I set up a little egg stand at the end of our driveway with a cash box. People loved getting farm fresh eggs right in the neighborhood. On weekends, I would go door-to-door taking orders too.With the money I earned, I was able to save up and get more chickens! I started studying all about the different breeds. Now I have Rhode Island Reds, Australorps, Buff Orpingtons, and even a few fancy Silkie chickens. My favorite is the Silkies because they have such crazy feathery feet!Taking care of the flock is a big responsibility. Every morning before school, I head out to the coop to feed the chickens, give them fresh water, and collect any eggs they laid overnight. I talk to them and inspect everything to make sure they're healthy and happy.On weekends, I have to do bigger chores like cleaning out the full coop and putting down fresh bedding and hay. It's kind of gross work, but I don't mind too much. My chickens are my feathery little buddies!One of the best parts is getting to watch the chickens be chickens. They have such funny personalities! Some are bossier than others. A few love to just lounge around, while others are busy scratching and pecking at every little thing. I get such a kick out of watching them Free Ranger around the yard, chasing bugs and doing their chicken dances.Occasionally a chicken will go broody, which means she wants to sit on a bunch of eggs to hatch out baby chicks. Whenthat happens, I get to go through and pick out fertile eggs from my best laying hens. Then I make a cozy little nest for the broody hen and put the eggs underneath her. It's so amazing to watch a hen being a mom!In about 21 days, the chicks start pecking their way out of the eggs. It's unbelievably cute to see those tiny balls of fluff emerge! The mom clucks to them and keeps them warm and safe under her wings. After they're ready, I move the babies to their own enclosure and get to enjoy watching another generation of chickens grow up.Raising chickens has taught me so much about the cycle of life, being responsible, and where our food comes from. It's also just a really fun hobby! Weird as it sounds, I've made some great friends through my chickens too. There's a huge "chicken fancy" community online and at shows and swaps. We're all weirdos obsessed with our feathered friends!I even started a Instagram account to share photos and videos of my flock. People from all over the world follow along with my chicken adventures! Who knows, maybe I'll take over the family chicken biz after college and become a full-time chicken lady. Though my future career plans may change, one thing's forsure - I'll always make room in my life for a few feathered buddies!篇3My Big Summer VacationHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm going to tell you all about my super awesome summer vacation this year. It was the best summer ever!It started off right after school let out in June. My mom and dad told me we were going to drive down to Florida to visit my grandparents and go to Disney World! I was so excited, I could barely sleep the night before we left. We packed up our car with snacks, games, and my stuffed tiger Stripes to keep me company.The drive took forever. We had to stop a bunch of times for food and bathroom breaks. I asked my dad about a million times "Are we there yet?" He just laughed and said not yet. I tried so hard to be patient but it was really difficult when Disney World was waiting!Finally, after what felt like a billion hours in the car, we made it to my grandparents' house. They live in this really prettyneighborhood with palm trees and swimming pools. My grandpa gave me the biggest hug and my grandma had baked my favorite chocolate chip cookies! Their dog Daisy was so happy to see me too and she licked my face about a hundred times.The next day, we all piled back into the car and drove to Disney World. I could hardly contain my excitement! When we got there, the first thing we did was go on the Haunted Mansion ride. Some of the ghosts popped out and made me jump, but I didn't get too scared because I knew they were just pretend.After that, we rode on Splash Mountain and got completely drenched from the big drop at the end. We had to buy me a new Goofy t-shirt because my old one was so wet. Then we went on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and saw all the ship cannons and Captain Jack Sparrow sword fighting. So cool!The best part though was getting to meet Mickey Mouse himself! We waited in line for over an hour, but it was totally worth it. When it was finally my turn, I gave Mickey a high five and he hugged me. We took the best picture together with me holding his big white gloved hands. That picture is hanging on my bedroom wall now.We spent four whole days at Disney World and I loved every second of it. We rode every ride, saw all the shows, and ate somuch junk food like cotton candy, popcorn, and Mickey Mouse-shaped pretzels. By the time we left to go back to my grandparents' house, I was so tired but so happy.The rest of our time in Florida, we just relaxed by the pool, played games, and I got some practice in with my grandpa pitching me baseballs. He used to be a pro baseball player when he was young! On the 4th of July, we had an awesome BBQ with hamburgers, hot dogs, and watermelon. Then at night, we watched the fireworks show that the neighborhood puts on. It was sparkling and booming and so much fun.Finally though, it was time to head back home to New York. I was really sad to leave my grandparents and Florida behind. The drive back didn't seem as bad though, because I was dreaming about the next time I'd get to come back. I spent most of the drive napping with Stripes and thinking about all the incredible memories I made.That's the story of my amazing summer vacation! Writing this makes me want summer to come back already so I can have more adventures. A kid can dream, right? Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you all next time!篇4Hello, my name is Amy and I'm nine years old. I'm in fourth grade at Sunshine Elementary School. Today I want to tell you all about my summer vacation last year. It was the best summer ever!It all started on the last day of school in June. My teacher, Mrs. Robinson, gave us big smiles and told us to have a wonderful summer. As soon as the bell rang, all my classmates rushed out of the classroom cheering. School was finally out for the summer!The first couple weeks of vacation, I just hung out at home a lot. I played video games, watched TV shows and movies, and slept in really late. My parents let me stay up past my bedtime too. It was awesome not having any homework or having to wake up early. I could just relax and do whatever I wanted.After a few weeks though, I started to get kind of bored just being at home all day. I asked my mom if we could go somewhere fun for a little vacation. She said we could go visit my aunt, uncle, and cousins who live upstate near the mountains. I was really excited because I loved visiting their house - they have a huge backyard with a playground, trampoline, and a pool!We packed up the car and made the five-hour drive to their place. As soon as we arrived, my twin cousins Jacob and Emmaran out to greet me. We were so happy to see each other since it had been an entire year. We spent the first couple days just playing together in their backyard and catching up.Then my aunt surprised us and said she had planned a fun activity for us - we were going hiking on a trail in the nearby mountains! I had never been hiking before, so I was a little nervous but also really excited. The next morning, we all woke up early and my uncle packed us a bunch of snacks and waters for the hike.When we got to the hiking trail, I was amazed by how beautiful the mountains and forests were. The air smelled so fresh and clean. Our hiking guide taught us about all the different trees, plants, and animals we saw along the way. After about an hour of hiking, we stopped at this incredible viewpoint looking out over a huge green valley. It felt like we were on top of the world!The hike was tough and my legs were super sore after, but I had a total blast. When we got back to my aunt and uncle's house, we had a big cookout to celebrate. My aunt made her famous barbecue chicken and corn on the cob. It was so delicious after working up an appetite on the hike.We spent the rest of our vacation days swimming in their pool, jumping on the trampoline, and having fun together. On our last night, we had a big sleepover in their living room and watched movies together. I was really sad when it was time to leave and head back home.The drive home felt really long, but I kept myself busy by writing in my summer journal about all the fun things we did. I decided that hiking was my new favorite activity. As soon as we got home, I asked my parents if we could go on more hiking trips before summer ended.A couple weeks later, my dad got us permits to go hiking and camping in a national park a few hours away from our house. We packed a tent, sleeping bags, and hiking supplies into our car and set off early one morning. When we arrived at the park, I was just in awe of the towering mountains, bright blue lakes, and endless forests surrounding us.After setting up our campsite, we headed out on the hiking trail. This time I was prepared with my new hiking boots, backpack, and plenty of water and snacks. We stopped along the way to admire the beautiful scenery and look for cool plants and animals. At one point, we spotted a family of deer so perfectly camouflaged in the trees. It was magical.That night after our hike, we cooked tinfoil dinners over the campfire. We spent the evening roasting s'mores, looking at the starry night sky, and telling scary stories. Sleeping in the tent was a little cold and uncomfortable, but also felt like a fun adventure. I'll never forget that experience of being out in nature.The next morning, we hiked to an amazing waterfall before packing up and heading home. In the car, I wrote more stories and poems in my journal about our camping trip. I knew my friends at home wouldn't believe how much fun I had "roughing it" in the great outdoors!Those trips with my cousins and family camping were definitely the highlights of my summer vacation last year. I used to think hiking and being outdoors was kind of boring. But after those awesome experiences, I realized how amazing nature is. It felt like a whole new world to explore and appreciate.Now that I'm back in school, I really miss the fun and freedom of summer. But I'm already counting down the days until next summer when I can go on more outdoor adventures! Maybe Mom and Dad will even let me go to sleepaway camp. A girl can dream, right?Anyway, that's the story of my best summer ever. Being a kid really is the best - getting to have fun, use my imagination, andmake incredible memories with my family. I feel so lucky. Thanks for listening, goodbye!篇5Hi everybody! My name is Lily and I'm 9 years old. I'm in 4th grade at Sunshine Elementary School. Today I want to tell you all about my summer vacation last year. It was the best summer ever!It started out kind of boring at first. In early June, school let out and I didn't have anything to do. My parents both work a lot so they couldn't take time off. I spent the first few weeks just hanging around the house, watching TV, and playing video games. Honestly, I was getting pretty bored!But then in mid-June, my grandparents invited me to come stay with them at their farm for a few weeks. I was so excited! My grandparents live out in the countryside, about a 3 hour drive from our house in the city.When we got to their farm, I immediately loved it. They have a huge garden full of all kinds of fruits and vegetables. There were rows and rows of corn, tomatoes, carrots, green beans, and more. My grandpa showed me how to tell when the crops are ready to harvest.They also have lots of farm animals too. There were chickens running around everywhere! My grandma taught me how to collect the eggs from the chicken coop. We also had some cows that my grandpa milked every morning. I got to feed and pet the cows, rabbits, and sheep too. Feeding the animals was my favorite part!Spending time on the farm was like being in a whole new world compared to living in the city. Everything moved at a slower, more relaxed pace. I loved waking up early to watch the beautiful sunrises. At night we could see every single star in the sky since there were no city lights.My grandparents kept me busy helping out with all the farm chores too. I helped my grandma can fruits and vegetables from the garden to save for later. We made jars and jars of strawberry jam, pickles, sauerkraut, and tomato sauce. Yum! I also helped my grandpa by collecting firewood, painting some old farm equipment, and repairing part of the fence around the pasture.Some days we just explored around the farm too. We went on long walks through the fields and forests looking for cool plants, animals, and bugs. My grandpa taught me so much about nature and the outdoors. We even camped out under the starsone night and cooked our dinner over the campfire. I loved every single minute!After a few wonderful weeks on the farm, it was time to head back home to the city. I was really sad to leave, but also excited to see my parents again and tell them all about my adventures. We stopped for ice cream on the drive home and I couldn't stop talking! I had so many amazing stories and memories from my time on the farm.When I got back home, things definitely felt different. The city suddenly seemed so loud, crowded, and busy compared to the nice quiet farm. But I was happy to sleep in my own bed again and see my friends from school. We had all kinds of fun play dates at the park and beach for the rest of the summer.Overall, my summer vacation was truly the best! I'm so grateful I got to spend that special time on my grandparents' farm making wonderful memories. I learned so much and had incredible new experiences. Even though I love living in the city, part of my heart will always be in the countryside after that amazing visit. I'm already counting down the days until next summer when I can go back to the farm again!篇6Hi there! My name is Lily and I'm 10 years old. I go to Forest Hill Elementary School here in my hometown. I really love going to school and learning new things every day! My favorite subjects are math and science because I find them super fascinating.In math class, we've been working on multiplication and division of larger numbers. I used to get confused with keeping all the digits straight when multiplying multi-digit numbers. But my teacher Mr. Jenkins taught us some really helpful tricks for lining everything up properly. Now I can multiply huge numbers like a pro! I just have to be really careful and take it one step at a time.Science has been awesome this year too. We've learned all about the human body and how our organs and systems work together. My friend Jacob thinks all that stuff about blood and guts is kind of gross. But I think it's so cool how our hearts pump blood throughout our bodies to keep us alive and healthy. We even got to make models of the circulatory system out of straws and plastic tubing. Science is my jam for sure!Another thing I really enjoyed learning about in science was the planets in our solar system. I can still remember all their names in order: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,Uranus, Neptune. We watched some really neat videos about the different planets and their features. Venus is a smokin' hot world with volcanoes and a toxic atmosphere. But Uranus is just the opposite - it's a weird icy planet that spins on its side! My personal favorite is Saturn though, because of its beautiful rings circling all around it. I'd love to Travel there someday just to see the rings up close.Recess and gym class are highlights of my day too. I love getting exercise and playing fun games like kickball and dodgeball with my friends. I'm not the most athletic kid, but I always try my hardest. My gym teacher Mr. Rodriguez says as long as I'm giving 100% effort, that's what matters most. Sometimes I get a little overexcited though and bend the rules a tiny bit. Like last week when I may have stepped over the line to kick the ball in kickball. Whoops! I felt pretty bad about that.My absolute favorite part of the school day is when we get read-aloud time. Our teacher Mrs. Palmer has such an engaging way of reading books and really bringing the stories to life. We recently started the classic novel Charlotte's Web about the beloved pig Wilbur and his friend Charlotte the spider. It's a story that makes you super emotional - one minute you're laughing at Wilbur's hilarious antics, and the next you're crying becausesomething sad happens. Books like that really suck you in and transport you to another world. I hope I never outgrow my love of getting lost in a great book.Public speaking is another area I struggle with. I get sooo nervous having to present in front of the whole class! My hands get sweaty, my voice starts shaking, and I can barely remember what I wanted to say. It's like my mind goes completely blank. Mrs. Palmer says it's perfectly normal to feel that way, and the more I practice, the easier it will become over time. She's absolutely right - the few times I've had to repeat a presentation, it did go much smoother. Baby steps, right?Overall, I really love my school and all my teachers and classmates. They make learning engaging and fun while still challenging me to work hard. Even with subjects that don't come naturally to me, I know they're patient and will help me improve.I feel so lucky to have such a great support system.I can't wait to see what the rest of this school year has in store! We're going to start learning about geology and the Earth's layers soon, which sounds fascinating. There's also going to be an epic fifth grade vs. teachers kickball game that I'm superrr stoked for. Hopefully I can kick some serious ball without stepping over the line this time. Wish me luck!。

The first few questions were about everyday topics like food and hobbies. I felt pretty confident answering these questions, so I was off to a good start.But then things got a bit tougher. There was a section about academic topics, like history and science. I was a bit nervous because these are not my strong subjects. But I listened carefully and tried my best to answer the questions.There was also a section where we had to listen to a conversation between two people and answer questions about it. This was tricky because sometimes they spoke really fast and I had to concentrate hard to catch everything they were saying.One of the hardest parts of the exam was when they played a recording of a lecture. The speaker had a strong accent and was talking about a complex topic. I really had to focus and listen carefully to understand what he was saying.Overall, the exam was challenging but I think I did okay. I tried my best and that's all I could do.

Abergeldie Castle,located in Aberdeenshire,Scotland,was built by Sir Alexander Gordon of Midmar who later became the Earl of Huntly.The castle, which is located on 11,700 acres, was leased to members of the royal family between 1848 and 1970,including King Edward VII and George V.The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has issued more than 35 flood warningscovering several regions,as Scotland continues to clean upafter Storm Frank hit the country last Wednesday."This means that rivers will rise more slowly,but then stay high for much longer,"the environmental agency said.Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news reportyou have just heard.1.Wh.di.Joh.Gordo.mov.ou.o.Abergeldi.Castle?s.Wednesday?News Report TwoRescu.effort.wer.underwa.Thursda.mornin.fo.1.miner.wh.wer.stuc.i.a.elevato.belo.groun.a.C nsing.Ne.Y ork,accordin.t.Marci.Lynch,rmatio.office.wit.To mpkin.County'.emergenc.respons.department.Emergenc.worker.hav.mad.contac.wit.th.mine r.vi..radio,an.the.al.appea.t.b.uninjured,sai.Jessic.Verfuss,th.emergenc.department'.assistan. director.Crew.hav.manage.t.provid.hea.pack.an.blanket.t.th.miner.s.tha.the.ca.kee.war.durin .th.rescu.operation,Verfus.said.Detail.abou.wha.le.toth.workers.bein.trappe.i.th.elevato.were n'.immediatel.available.Th.mine.alon.Ne.York'ke,e.fo.roa.treatmentlio.ton.o.sal.tha.i.shippe.t.mor.tha.1,50.place.i.th.northeaster.Unite.States .Th.roc.sal.min.i.on.o.thre.operate.b.Cargil.wit.th.othe.twoi.Louisian.an.Ohio.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news reportyou have just heard.3.Wha.doe.th.new.repor.sa.abou.th.sal.miners?4.Wha.di.th.rescu.tea.do?News Report ThreeThe U.S.Postal Service announced todaythat it is considering closingabout 3,700 post offices over the next yearbecause of falling revenues.Facing an $8.3 billion budget deficit this year, closing post offices is one of several proposalsthe Postal Service has put forth recently to cut st week, for example,Postmaster General Pat Donahoe announced plansto stop mail delivery on Saturdays,a move he says could save $3 billion annually."We are losing revenue as we speak,"Donahoe said."We do not want taxpayer money.We want to be self-sufficient.

Check with your school's careers serviceor employment office for helpto find a campus job. Of course, there are opportunitiesfor part-time work off-campus, too.If you spend a little timedigging for the right part-time jobs,you’ll save yourself time—when you find a job thatleaves you with enough time—to get your school work done, too.If you are a college tudentlooking for work but worriedyou won't have enough timeto devote to academic ubjects,consider working as a study hallor library monitor.Responsibilities generally include supervising study spaces to ensurethat a quiet atmosphere is maintained.It's a pretty easy job,but one with lots of downtime—which means you’ll have plenty of timeto catch up on eading,do homework or study for an exam.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passageyou have just heard.16.Wha.doe.th.speake.sa.abou.colleg.student.applyin.fo.on-campu.jobs?17.Wha.ca.student.d.t.fin..campu.jo.accordin.t.th.speaker?18.Wha.doe.th.speake.sa.i..librar.monitor'.responsibility?Passage TwoAgricultural workers in green tea fields near Mt.Kenya are gathering the tea leaves.I.i.beautifu.t.see.Th.row.o.te.bushe.ar.straight.Al.appear.t.b.well.Bu.th.farmer.wh.plante.th.bushesar.worried.Nelso.Kibar.i.on.o.them.H.ha.bee.growin.te.i.th.Kerugoy.areafo.4.years.H.sa y.th.price.thi.yearhav.bee.s.lo.tha.h.ha.mad.almos.n.profit.H.say.h.mus.gro.differen.kind.o.te ai.h.i.t.survive.Mr.Kibar.an.hundred.o.othe.farmershav.bee.removin.som.o.thei.te.bushesan. plantin..ne.kin.o.teadevelope.b.th.Te.Researc.Foundatio.o.Kenya.It.leave.ar.purpl.an.brown.

apply for(申请),这是工作的第一步;既然要申请,必然 需要递交letter of application(求职信),只要你足够 confident about yourself,就有可能获得job interview(工 作面试)的机会。是否能够give a good impression(留个 好印象)给主管,那就得看你个人造化了。

of. 四个选项中 "Call the mother", "Try to communicate",
"Help them", "Remind them "这些动作让人联想到这个 题目可能会涉及解决问题的方法。最后,把这几个选项 联合起来,可以做一番联想:一个在"the Golden Gate Bridge"从事某种职业的人。在桥上遇到一个问题,最后 用一种方法把它解决了。有了这个大概的方向以后,听 这篇文章就会有感觉了。
