Section A
News Item 1
You probably think college students are experts at sleeping, but parties, preparations for tests, personal problems and general stress can rack a student's sleep habits, which can be bad for the body and the mind. Texas Tech University is even offering a class called Improving Your Sleep Habits. People suffering from sleep loss are at an increased risk from obesity, psychological problems and car crashes. Students who don't get enough sleep have poor attendance and lower grades. On top of all that, 2a new study published in the journal Learning and Memory finds you are probably better off sleeping than making last-minute preparations for a test. Two hundred college kids were taught to play some unfamiliar video games. Subjects who learned the games in the morning lost some skills when they played again 12 hours later, 1but they did much better after getting a good night's sleep. So if you really want to do your job well, don't forget to get some sleep.
News Item 2
Long queues, delayed flights and overcrowding at airport shave become almost as much a topic for conversation in Britain as the traditional complaining about the weather. Meanwhile there are complaints that poor service in London's major airports is discouraging foreigners from doing business in Britain. Much of the criticism is directed at the British Airports Authority which runs seven major airports, including the three main ones serving in London. 3 The Competition Commission is now to investigate whether the British Airports Authority needs to sell off some of its assets. The idea is the competition between rival operators would lead to better service at airports. The British Airports Authority recently bought by a Spanish company, says the root cause of the problem is not the ownership structure 4 but a lack of runway and terminal capacity which is addressing through a program of heavy investment. News Item 3
5Under the law in Massachusetts, tobacco companies have to measure the nicotine content of every type of cigarette and report the results. The Department of Public Health in Boston gathers and carefully examines the figures and then draws its conclusions. A hundred and sixteen brands were looked at for this study. Ninety-two were found to have higher nicotine yields than they did six years previously. 6The biggest increases tended to be in brands that were popular with young smokers. That worries the department because of the addictive nature of nicotine. Stand Glance, a professor of medicine in San Francisco explains why. “The amount of nicotine that's delivered in every cigarette is 10% higher than it was six years ago, which means that it is easier to get hooked and harder to quit. 7The big tobacco companies have always insisted that they are frank with their customers about the dangers of smoking and provide them with enough detail to make an informed decision. However, none of them were prepared to comment on this study or discuss the detailed nicotine content of their products.”
Section B
Conversation 1
M: And you know, one thing that I want to ask you. It's great that you have had this experience of teaching in Indonesia and following up on what you just mentioned, what would you recommend for students who do not live in an English speaking country and, you know, they want to learn.
I don't know about perfecting but they want to at least be able to communicate decently. How can they go about this
W: Yeah, it's really hard. That's the real struggle because, right now, 8 I do live in Holland, but I really don't socialize much with Dutch people and my boyfriend's English is so good that we just basically speak English all the time. So I have to make a real effort to practice. There is as much listening exposure as I want—all I have to do is turn on the TV.
M: And reading also, right
W: Yeah, reading. 10There is plenty I can get to read and listen to, but for speaking, there really is no substitute for trying to speak and use the language in a relaxed atmosphere. 9So I think that's really the challenge for people who live in a country where their target language isn't spoken. And for that, gosh, what would I do if I didn't have people here, 10 probably try to find a club. In Sweden, they have a really cool system called study circles, well, it's not... 11 it's like a course. But really, you just have a course leader who is there, sort of, as a coach and guide and to help out, and you don't get grades, and you go just because you want to learn.
Conversation 2
W: Okay, Nelson. 12So we are talking about driving and are there any rules or regulations that you like to change
M: I'm not sure I want to change rules, but I'd like the police to be stricter on the rules. Like if people jump traffic lights, I don't know why there isn't a camera of the traffic lights to stop people doing that. Or like speeding. It's very easy to put speed cameras in certain places.
W: 13Maybe car manufacturers should have some responsibility in limiting the power of their engines. What's the point in producing an engine that is big and powerful enough to go, like 200km/h when the speed limit is only 100
M: 14Right, but do you know there are no speed limits in Germany
W: People there do drive responsibly, though. Often people break laws simply because the laws are there. If the law isn't there, people will drive within their ability range. When you got speed limits, this creates situations that actually present dangers on the road.
M: Do you think Germans have better education about personal responsibility when driving W: Possibly. They also have very good cars.
M: Right.
W: If you got a good car that can go at a high speed then it's really nice to do that.
M: But still, with care.
W: So I think it's the restrictions that create the dangers sometimes.
M: Okay.
W: Obviously, when driving through a residential area or where there is a school, you've got to have speed policemen.
M: Speed bumps.
W: Yes, speed bumps. Those speed bumps that force you to slow down. I think they are a good idea.
M:15So you don't think fining people is useful.
W: Not really, because the police don't have time to police every single driver.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
Section C
Passage 1
Behind the cash register at a store in downtown San Francisco, Sam Azar swiped his credit card to pay for a pack of cigarettes. 16The store's card reader failed to scan the card's magnetic strip. Azar tried again, and again. No luck. As customers began to queue, Mr. Azar reached beneath the counter for a black plastic bag.17 He wrapped one layer of the plastic around the card and tried again. Success The sale was completed. “I don't know how it works. It just does.” said Mr. Azar who learned the trick from another clerk. Verifone, the company that makes the store's card reader would not confirm or deny that the plastic bag trick worked. But it's one of many low-tech fixes for high-tech failures that people without engineering degrees have discovered, often out of desperation, and shared. “18 Today's shaky economy is likely to produce many more such tricks. In postwar Japan, the economy wasn't doing so great, so you couldn't get everyday-use items like household cleaners.” says Lisa Katayama, author of Urawa za, a book named after the Japanese term for “clever lifestyle tips and tricks.” So people look for ways to do with what they had. Today, Americans are finding their own tips and tricks for fixingmal-functioning devices with supplies as simple as paper and glue. Some like Mr. Azar's plastic bag are open to argument as to how they work or whether they really work at all. But many tech home remedies can be explained by a little science.
Passage 2
If you are a graduate student, you may depend on your adviser for many things, including help with improving grades, acquiring financial support, forming an examining committee and getting letters of recommendation. If you're a graduate teaching assistant, your adviser also may be your boss. 19Academic departments vary in their procedures for assigning academic advisers to graduate students. In some departments, either the chairman or the director of graduate studies serves for at least the first semester as a new student adviser. Then students select an adviser based on shared academic interests. In other departments, a new student is assigned a faculty adviser based on some system of distribution of the department's advising load. Later, students may have the opportunity of selecting the adviser that they prefer. 20In any case, new graduate students can learn who their advisers or temporary advisers are by visiting or emailing the departmental office and asking for the information. 21Graduation requirements specify the number of credits you must earn, the minimum grade point average you must achieve and the distribution of credits you must have from among differing departments or fields of study. In addition, it is necessary to apply for graduation when you are near the time that you will be completing your graduation requirements. Since graduation requirements vary among divisions of the university, you should consult the Bulletin of Information. You should also direct your questions to your departmental office or academic adviser.
Passage 3
Jody Harbert is a diet and nutrition expert who travels around the state to speak in middle and high schools. 22She primarily speaks to students in health classes, but sometimes the school will arrange for her to speak to several different groups of girls. 23Her biggest concern is the emphasis American culture places on thinness and the negative ways this affects girls today. Jody has a . innutrition, but more important, she has personal experience. Her mother talked her to diet when she was only eight years old. Jody has created several different presentations which she gives to different types of audiences, and she tries to establish an emotional connection with the students so that they will feel comfortable asking questions or talking to her privately. 24She shows them pictures and images from popular culture of beautiful women and explains how computers are used to make the women look even more thin and beautiful than they are in real life. She describes how the definition of beauty has changed over the years and even from culture to culture. She then talks about health issues and the physical damage that can occur as a result of dieting. Finally, she addresses self-respect and the notion that a person's sense of beauty must include more than how much a person weighs. 25Sometimes, Jody feels that she succeeds in persuading some students to stop dieting. Other times, she feels that she fails.

此正确答案为C选项。 【听力原文】 News Report Three Lions have disappeared from much of Africa, but for the past few years scientists have wondered if the big cats were hanging on in remote parts of Sudan and Ethiopia. 【5】 Continuous fighting in the region has made surveys difficult. 【6】But scientists released a report Monday documenting, with hard evidence, the discovery of “lost lions”. A team with Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, supported by a charity organization, spent two nights in November camping in the National Park in northwest Ethiopia, on the Ethiopia-Sudan border.【7】The researchers set out six camera traps capturing images of lions, and identified lion tracks. The scientists concluded that lions are also likely to live in the neighbouring National Park across the border in Sudan. The International Union for Conservation of Nature had previously considered the area a “possible range” for the species, and local people had reported seeing lions in the area, but no one presented convincing evidence. 【杀掉拦路虎】 1.

2020年9月四级听力原文及答案(第一套) Section A 【News report one】 A NASA satellite orbiting over Portugal took photographs that reveal the effects of polluti on from ships. One of the photos shows a thin film of clouds above the brilliant blue of the north Atlantic, cut by white lines of thicker clouds that look like scars. (1) NASA officials expl ained those thicker clouds are signs of ship traffic below when ships power their way throug h the ocean, they pump exhaust into the atmosphere. Just as cars do. And those massive amounts of particles can cause clouds to form, get enough of those p articles in one place as from the exhaust of a ship.
