Take on Listening:Listening and Speaking Strategies

Lesson 2

Denise: Excuse me, miss, how much does it cost to ride BART

Stranger: Well, that depends on your destination. From here to Glen Park it’s only a dollar ten, but if you go as far as Fremont, it costs a lot more.

Tom: We’re going to Berkeley. Do you know what the fare is

Stranger: There are two stations in Berkeley. Which one are you interested in Denise: Oh, gee, I’m not sure. We’re from out of town. We’re visiting my sister. She told me her house is just a stone’s throw from the UC Berkeley campus. Which station is that

Stranger: The downtown Berkeley station is really close to the university. I’m sure that’s the one you want.

Denise: Tom, are you going to remember this, or should I be jotting this down Tom: What is there to write down, Denise The woman is giving us very simple directions. So, how much is the fare to downtown Berkeley

Stranger: Let’s go take a look at the map over there. You see, the map shows you how much it costs to go from one station to another. Ah, there it is: two dollars and sixty-five cents.

Tom: Two sixty-five That’s highway robbery for such a short distance!

Denise: You think that’s expensive Tom from our house to Amherst it costs twice as much as that.

Tom: Yeah, but that’s an hour ride. You really get your money’s worth. Stranger: Yeah…Uh…Well, did your sister explain which train to take

Tom: Berkeley. WE take the Berkeley train to Berkeley, right

Stranger: Well, no actually. That’s just one stop on the Richmond line. Here, let me show you on this map. Here we are a t Powell Street in San Francisco, and it’s basically a straight shot on the Richnond line to the downtown Berkeley station. Denise: Yes, my sister said we wouldn’t have to change trains.

Stranger: Uh-oh, what time is it

Denise: It’s 8:15.

Stranger: You can’t go directly to Berkeley from San Francisco after 8:04. Tom: Uh-oh. Is there another train we can catch

Stranger: Don’t worry. You can take the Pittsburg line. Look here, take the Pittsburg line to the 12th Street Station in Oakland, and then transfer to the Richmond train. The Richmond train will stop in Berkeley. Get off at the downtown station. From there you can walk to your sister’s house.

Denise: We want to be there by 9 o’clock. If we have to transfer, w e might be late. Do you think we’ll make it in time

Stranger: It doesn’t take that long. Let’s see; there’s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train right away at 8:34, and you’ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46.

Tom: Let’s see if I’ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap.

Stranger: Yeah, you’ll have no trouble.

Tom: Thank you ve ry much for your help, Miss. You’re a very kind young lady. Denise: And so pretty and smart, too! Tell me dear, I notice you’re not wearing a ring.

Stranger: Well, no, uh…

Denise; You know, my sister’s son is very handsome. I think you two would like each other…

Stranger: Uh, well; oh! I think I hear your train coming! You’d better hurry so you don’t miss it!

Unit 1 Ghosts for Tea “十便士看一次海湾风光,”那个带着一架望远镜的老头说道:“多么晴朗美丽的早晨。请来看看那古老的灯塔和1935年失事的大轮船残骸吧。” 要十便士简直是敲诈勒索,可是海湾的景色确实壮丽。 峭壁向远方伸展,海风激起的阵阵波浪泛着白花,冲上海滩。海面上几艘游艇张着乳白色的风帆优雅地避开浪头蜿蜓前进。山崖下面,一群海鸥相互叫唤着,在海面上盘旋飞翔。离岸一英里处,在海浪贪婪地吮舔着的岩岸上,那座古老的灯塔矗立在一座石头平台上。说实话,我毫不吝惜那几个钱。当我把望远镜转朝灯塔时,站在我身旁的那个老头拍了拍我的手腕。 “您听过在那座灯塔里发生的一起骇人听闻的惨案吗?”他压低了嗓音对我说。 “我想这个地方看起来非常富有戏剧性,有关它的传说一定不少,”我说。 “这可不是传说,”那老头郑重其事地说。“我父亲认识那起惨案的两个当事人。一切都发生在50年前的今天。让我说给您听听吧。” 他的声音似乎变得更低沉、更富有戏剧性了。 “整整一个礼拜,风暴困住了那座灯塔,”他开始说。“咆啸的大海波涛汹涌,海浪拍打着岩石,轰然作响。岸上的人们十分担心在那儿工作的两个人。 他们俩是多年的挚友,但在两三个礼拜前,他们在乡村酒店里玩牌时吵了一架。马丁指责布莱克打牌时耍赖,布莱克则发誓要对侮辱他人格的不实之辞进行报复。多亏一位他们俩都尊敬的人好言相劝,他们才互相道了歉,并似乎很快地结束了他们之间的不快。不过各自心里还有些怨恨。因此,人们担心长时间与世隔绝所造成的极度紧张和恶劣的天气会使他们俩神经过敏,尽管两人的朋友们不消说还根本没意识到后果会有多么严重。” “离今50年前的那个晚上,灯塔上没有出现灯光,直到凌晨两点钟左右才有一束灯光突然发出警告信号。 “第二天早上,灯光依然可见。风暴已经平息了,人们派出一条救生船前去查看情况。等待人们的却是一个不忍目睹的场面——马丁和布莱克的起居室一片骇人景象,桌子翻倒在地,一副牌散得到处都是,地板上溅满了血迹。营救人员爬上旋梯来到灯塔间,在那儿发现了马丁的尸体蜷缩在仍然亮着的灯旁。他是被戳死的。两天后,布莱克的尸体被潮水冲了上来,他身上划破多处,浑身青肿,伤得不轻。 “我们只是在那时才猜测到究竟发生了什么事。这场大惨剧只是由于他们俩再次争吵而引起的。他们准是因为与世隔绝而心烦意孔,于是开始玩牌。马丁又怀疑布莱克耍赖,指责这位原先的朋友不老实。接着一场格斗发生了,布莱克一把操起刀子,在一阵狂怒之下向他的伙伴刺去,马丁受了致命伤而倒下。布莱克被自己的行为惊呆了。他受不了这里的孤独寂寞以及风浪的拍击声,于是狂奔到栏杆边纵身投向下面的岩石。接着大海吞噬了他。 “但当时马丁还活着。过了几小时,也就是在天色暗下来以后,他苏醒过来,想起了自己点灯的职责。于是,可怜的马丁忍着剧痛,慢慢地爬上旋梯,一步一步地爬到灯前。用最后剩下的一口气,他点亮了灯塔,然后倒下。 “数年后,据说那座灯塔闹鬼了。就因为这些传说,当地迷信的居民中没有人愿意接替做灯塔管理员。如今人们都说,每年到出事的那一天,尤其是当海上风急浪高的时候,人们

Unit 1 愉悦舒适不能指引你领略人生的全部,与逆境的艰苦搏斗常常会使人生变得丰富而有意义。 幸福隐藏的另一面 凯思琳?麦克高恩 1 咫风、房屋失火、癌症、激流漂筏失事、坠机、昏暗小巷遭歹徒袭击,没人想找上这些事儿。但出人意料的是,很多人发现遭受这样一次痛苦的磨难最终会使他们向好的方面转变。他们可能都会这样说:“我希望这事没发生,但因为它我变得更完美了。” 2 我们都爱听人们经历苦难后发生转变的故事,可能是因为这些故事证实了一条真正的心理学_L的真理,这条真理有时会湮没在无数关于灾难的报道中:在最困难的境况中,人所具有的一种内在的奋发向上的能力会进发出来。对那些令人极度恐慌的经历作出积极回应的并不仅限于最坚强或最勇敢的人。实际上,大约半数与逆境抗争过的人都说他们的生活从此在某些方面有了改善。 3 诸如此类有关危机改变一生的发现有着可观的研究前景,这正是创伤后成长这一新学科的研究领域。这一新兴领域已经证实了曾经被视为陈词滥调的一个真理:大难不死,意志弥坚。创伤后压力绝不是唯一可能的结果。在遭遇了即使最可怕的经历之后,也只有一小部分成年人会受到长期的心理折磨。更常见的情况是,人们会恢复过来—甚至最终会成功发达。 4 那些经受住苦难打击的人是有关幸福悖论的生动例证:为了尽可能地过上最好的生活,我们所需要的不仅仅是愉悦的感受。我们这个时代的人对幸福的追求已经缩小到只追求福气:一生没有烦恼,没有痛苦和困惑。 5 这种对幸福的平淡定义忽略了问题的主要方面—种富有意义的生活所带来的那种丰富、完整的愉悦。那就是幸福背后隐藏的那种本质—是我们在明智的男男女女身上所欣赏到并渴望在我们自己生活中培育的那种不可言喻的品质。事实证明,一些遭受苦难最多的人-他们被迫全力应付他们未曾预料到的打击,并重新思考他们生活的意义—或许对那种深刻的、给人以强烈满足感的人生经历(哲学家们过去称之为“美好生活”的探寻)最有发言权。 6 这种对美好生活的更为广泛的定义把深深的满足感和一种通过移情与他人建立的深切联系融合在一起。它主要受愉悦情感的支配,但同时也夹杂着惆怅和悔恨。密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校的心理学家劳拉?金认为:“幸福仅仅是许许多多人生价值中的一种。”慈悲、智慧、无私、洞察力及创造力—有时只有经历逆境的考验才能培育这些品质,因为有时只有极端的情形才能迫使我们去承受痛苦的改变过程。只过安宁的、无忧无虑的生活是不足以体验一段完整的人生的。我们也需要成长-尽管有时成长是痛苦的。 7 在纽约市皇后区一间漆黑的房间里,31岁的时装设计师特蕾西?塞尔感到自己奄奄一息。就在几个月前,她已经停止服用控制她关节炎的强效免疫抑制药。她从没预见到接下来将要发生的事:停药之后的反应最终使她全身剧烈疼痛,神经系统出现严重问题。最轻微的动作—比如说试着吞咽—对她来说也痛苦不堪。甚至将脸压在枕头上也几乎难以忍受。 8 塞尔并不是懦弱的人。她在两岁时就被诊断得了幼年型类风湿性关节炎,一生都在忍受着病症和治疗(药物、手术)的折磨。但是这一次,她实在不堪忍受了,

【VIP专享】新世纪研究生英语教程综合英语第五版答案

U1 Free Falling 1.What is the main subject introduced in paragraph one? It is the description of the effect of saying farewell to his parents, friends and folks on the author. 2.How is the story organized? The story is chronologically organized (following the time sequence in which the event unfolded itself). 3.How did Weckerly feel before the day of his departure? He felt eager and excited to wait for the day to come. 4.How did his mood change when the day had really come? At the very beginning he became sentimental about saying good-bye to many people around him. Facing the reality of becoming independent, he began to feel afraid and uncertain . 5.What do you think about the ending of the story? It is very impressive. Weckerly ends the story with a metaphor which catches the essence of the particular moment accurately. He compares himself to a rookie skydiver preparing for his first plunge, which leads to possible outcomes: sheer excitement or eventual death. The last sentence "He closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and jumps" symbolizes the fact that from that day on the author jumps into the future of being independent no matter how long and complicated the road to it is. U6 The myth of the paperless office 1. What are the disadvantages of paper according to the author? Paper takes up precious space, can be in only one place at a time, is extremely hard to index or search through, and lacks all the interactivity and linking ability of hypertext. 2. What are the major categories of files in an office? In the office, files can be mainly classified into hot files, documents to be acted on immediately; warm files, still active but of less urgency and cold files, docements that don’t need immediate attention. 3. Why is it unpleasant to read something on a computer screen? Because there are such annoyances as the relatively fuzzy type, glare, the need to scroll

Denise: Yes, my sister said we wouldn’t have to change trains. Stranger: Uh-oh, what time is it Denise: It’s 8:15. Stranger: You can’t go directly to Berkeley from San Francisco after 8:04. Tom: Uh-oh. Is there another train we can catch Stranger: Don’t worry. You can take the Pittsburg line. Look here, take the Pittsburg line to the 12th Street Station in Oakland, and then transfer to the Richmond train. The Richmond train will stop in Berkeley. Get off at the downtown station. From there you can walk to your sister’s house. Denise: We want to be there by 9 o’clock. If we have to transfer, w e might be late. Do you think we’ll make it in time Stranger: It doesn’t take that long. Let’s see; there’s a train from here at 8:18. It arrives at the 12th Street Oakland station at 8:34. You can get a Richmond train right away at 8:34, and you’ll arrive in Berkeley at 8:46. Tom: Let’s see if I’ve go t this right: We take the 8:18 Pittsburg train and arrive in Oakland at 8:34. Then we take the 8:34 Richmond train to Berkeley. That should be a snap.

Unit3 美国人的酷爱 我父亲是别克人。在经济大萧条以前,他本是史达兹人。然而,就像成千上万经济状况处于 上升阶段的有车族一样,那场可悲的经济逆转使他们非得调整对汽车的胃口不可。到他死的时候,他开过的那些别克轿车就不只是普通意义上的交通工具了,而且将父亲定位于这样的 社会阶层——比庞蒂亚克人富有,但比不上克迪拉克人。拥有别克轿车让人一看便知父亲的 社会地位。与别克人相当的还有福特人和克莱斯勒人。 我们美国人与汽车的特殊缘分,其坚实的基础就在于对一种轿车品牌的忠诚,这种忠诚因其来之不易而倍受珍惜。·这就是爱吗?也许用词过分,可美国人对这些机器的尊重甚过所有其 他机器——不仅将它们视为20世纪雕塑大观中的标志,而且还将它们视为社会的护身符。 我记忆中的第一辆别克车是一辆闪闪发亮的黑色轿车,椅子的衬垫是厚厚的马海毛,离合器拉杆是新式的。我父亲爱吹嘘说这辆车一小时能跑120英里。一想到这样的速度就会令男人 们兴奋不已。我照着家里的菲尔可牌收音机盒里播出的格林,霍利特驾驶的那个神秘机器的 名字,给这头漂亮的牲口取了个名副其实的绰号——黑美驹。 20世纪中,电话、电视或者个人电脑,这一切都使人类环境发生了巨大变化。然而,与电 话、电视、电脑不同的是,汽车却享有人格化的地位。有些汽车可以成为家庭成员,机械宠 物。我们给汽车起名字,在自己·家的车道上精心打扮汽车,在汽车不能满足我们的需要时 诅咒它们。在折旧换新之时为旧车的离去而悲哀。 人们对汽车的热爱让环境保护者、安全为重的倡导者以及社会工程师们感到不安。他们认为通往人间天堂的道路应该到处都铺设公交运输所必备的发亮轨道。他们想象着我们加入未来 拥挤不堪的自行车行列,而不是像一位激动不已的评论家所预见的那样,坐在“傲慢的双轮马车”方向盘后。这种态度不是现在才有的。首先是铁路,接着是汽车造成的人口流动早已 使得守旧的特权阶层感到不安。在战场上有过辉煌,但却以鄙视下层民众而出名的威林顿公 爵在150年前就曾反对英国发展铁路,这是因为火车只会怂恿普通人毫无意义地到处走动。 汽车呢,而今大家都认同的是,它污染环境、杀人、残害人、驱使人们离家游荡,实在可鄙。因此,汽车应被开除球籍,越快越好(还应带走路边购物中心、“免下车’’餐馆以及垃圾食品店等等乱七八糟的东西)。 的确,汽车应该对出现的许多问题负责,然而,汽车也是伟大的解放者。批评家们却宁愿对 这一事实视而不见。汽车可以使人口大规模地流动:从城市到郊区,从东部到西部,从南方 到北方。而近来更多的人又从北方回到南方,因为数百万人希望找到改善经济状况的机会。 一片片蔓延无矩的都市建筑群拔地而起——洛杉矶、澳兰多、亚特兰大、夏洛特、达拉斯、 拉斯韦加斯、菲尼克斯等等,其规划都是以适应汽车的需要为出发点。这样的规划并不完美(若代之以适应公共交通的规划也完美不起来),但实际状况仍然是:南部和西部环绕汽车兴 建的城市正在飞跃发展。环境保护主义者在担忧,大多数人却照样开着车。 在美国有1亿7千5百万人持有驾驶执照,开着近2亿辆汽车,行驶在390万英里的道路上。人们坐上自己的轿车、轻型货车、摩托车、带卧室的汽车、运动用车,每年行驶约2万4千亿英里。每年约有1,500,百万辆崭新的轿车和轻型货车涌上公路。赛车已成为这个国 家发展最快的运动项目。汽车行业雇了230万员工,比任何其他制造业都要多。
