英语专业四级TEM4听力听写原文1993—2013

英语专业四级考试1993年——203年听写原文 1993 Package Holidays Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive place, are increasingly popular. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination.Everything is laid on for you.There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother to arrange anything yourselves.You make friends and have a good time. But there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people.This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time traveling.Of course, there are carefully planned stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient. But time is always short.There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend you holiday with a group of people you have never met before. (1994) The American Family The American family unit is changing. There used to be mainly two types of families, the extended and the nuclear. The former included mother, father, children, and some other relatives such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby. Then as the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people began moving to different parts of the country in order to search for job opportunities. These moves split up the extended family. The nuclear family consisting of only parents and children has therefore become far more wide spread. Today’s family, however, can be composed of diverse co mbinations. With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there's an increase in single-parent homes—a father or mother living with one or more children. Blended families occur when divorced men and women remarry and combine the children from former marriages into a new family. On the other hand, there is an increase in childless couples while one in rive Americans lives alone. (1995) Unidentified Flying Objects There are many explanations for why UFOs visit the Earth. / The most popular one is that they maybe visitors from other planets./ To fly such aircraft, their builders must develop different forms of aviation,/because they seem to fly much faster than normal aircraft./ The UFOs, it is believed, must contain scientists/ from other planets who are studying life on earth./ It is even believed that several such aircraft may have landed on earth/ and the space visitors may be living amongst us./ But there are also less fantastic explanations available./ Although some sightings of UFOs are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily./ In many cases the observers might have made a mistake./ They might have seen a weather balloon or an aircraft./ Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground,/ reflected on to the clouds./ However, the exact cause of many sightings still remained a mystery.

英语四级听力长对话技巧解析

下面是为各位考生整理的英语四级听力技巧解析,供大家参考。希望给各位考生带来帮助。 对于四级听力长对话,考生应始终牢记:不要奢望将其内容一字不落地完全听懂并且记住。因为即使在日常生活中用母语对话,这也几乎是不可能的,同时也是不必要的。在日常生活中,我们只要掌握自己关心的信息,而在听力考试中,我们则要抓住关键的命题点。 以下分听前预测和听时抓“点”两个步骤详解听力长对话的应试策略。 一、听前预测 听前预测对于听力长对话非常重要。放音间隔的时间应尽可能留作预测之用。若想有效使用这短短几十秒的放音间隔时间,需把握以下两个原则: 1. 先纵后横 所谓“先纵”,就是首先通读每篇后的3-4个小题,找出关键词,前后联系,预测全篇大致主题。 所谓“后横”,就是在仍有时间的情况下,通看各题选项,看看是否存在生词,总结长句的核心意思,以此预测考点和可能的答案。 两步预测都要注意随时做出标注,划出关键词或简写长句的大意,因为单凭记忆在"高压"的听力考试中是万万靠不住的。 以2007年12月Conversation Two为例: 23. A) She is thirsty for promotion. B) She wants a much higher salary. C) She is tired of her present work. D) She wants to save travel expenses. 首先通过promotion, salary和work可得出本对话的大致主题是有关职业,再联系两次出现的wants,想到或许与求职有关,并顺理成章地想到可能会谈到离职的原因、新职位的性质以及薪酬等等。这就是上面所说的"先纵"。 此后我们可对选项中较长的词语做标注,如下划线所示。通过听录音我们发现本题答案的对应信息在原文中是"I'm fed up with my job.", 正是"tired of"的同义置换。这就是上面所说的"后横"。 可见,事先标注关键信息,可让我们在听时将注意力集中到更小的"点",起到事半功倍的效果。 2. 分清主次 与生活中的情形相似,双方对话的时候常有主次之分,如:一方询问,另一方作答时,关键信息多出现在作答一方,考点自然也就多出于此。分清对话双方的主次对于我们预测考点出现的位置很重要,方法也简单易行。

英语四级听力解题技巧

英语四级听力解题技巧之“一二三四” 一个中心:A部分以大学校园生活为中心 四级听力的A部分试题中,有很多都直接来自托福(TOEFL)听力A部分,还有部分是托福听力试题改编的。托福考试的目的就是检测非英语国家学生是否到美国接受高等教育的语言能力,其中听力的测试范围主要是大学校园生活(campus life)。通过历年试题的研究可以看出,四级听力A部分大多数试题涉及到大学校园生活。谈话的话题大多涉及大学生活中的各个场景,诸如吃饭、学习、借书、做作业、考试、开车、生病、找工作等等。每一类场景都有特定的词汇和固定谈话思路,我们可以通过选项的一些词汇,推测谈话的话题。带着托福情结的部分四、六级听力试题,答案是很有规律的。 在四级听力中,常见的场景有:(1)作业场景;作业包括assignment,paper,essay,presentation,experiment等形式,作业一般很多,很难。(2)课程及考试场景;课程(course)一般很难,very challenging,好让有志于赴美读书的各国青年才俊们三思而后行。(3)授课场景;教授的课(含lecture,presentation等)讲的极为枯燥,很难听懂但是学生却对教授评价甚高;(4)考试场景;考试一般很难,女生比男生用功,考的好,还很爱帮助男生上进。(5)放假场景;大家思乡心切,急于回家。(7)打工找工作场景:工作难找,面试要做充分准备。(8)事故场景:学生一般命大,遇到交通事故(甚至飞机坠毁),往往车(包括自行车)毁而人无大碍,受点轻伤或者毫发未伤。(9)看show场景;一般人多票难买。(10)噪音场景;一般是嫌原来的住处too noisy,不利于安心学习。(11)找人一般找不到。(12)教授、医生、学生一般都很忙。(13)飞机、火车一般都晚点。(14)遇事不要着急,要耐心,要等待。

- The success of early railways, such as the lines between big cities,/ led to a great increase in railway building in Victorian times. / Between 1835 and 1865 about 25000 kilometers of track were built,/ and over 100 railway companies were created. / Railway travel transformed people's lives. / Trains were first designed to carry goods. / However, a law in the 19th century forced railway companies to run one cheap train a day / which stopped at every station and cost only a penny a mile. / Soon working class passengers found they could afford to travel by rail. / Cheap day excursion trains became popular and seaside resorts grew rapidly. / The railways also provided thousands of new jobs:/ building carriages, running the railways and repairing the tracks. / Railways even changed the time. / The need to run the railways on time meant that local time was abolished/ and clocks showed the same time all over the country. / United Nations Day (1999) The 24th of October is celebrated as United Nations Day. h is a day that belongs to everyone. And it is celebrated in most countries of the world. Some countries celebrate for a week instead of a day. In many parts of the world, schools have special programs for the day. Boys and girls in some communities decorate a UN tree. In other communities, young people put on plays about the UN. Some libraries exhibit children’s art works from around the world. Schools celebrate with the songs and dances of other countries or give parties where foods of other countries are served. No matter how the day is celebrated, the purpose of these celebrations is to help everyone understand the UN, and the important roles it plays in world affairs. The UN encourages people to learn about other lands and their customs. In this way, people can gain a better understanding and appreciation of peoples all over the world. What We Know About Language (2000) Many things about language are a mystery and will remain so. However, we now do know something about it. First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. No human race anywhere on earth is so backward that it has no language of its own at all. Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many peoples whose cultures are undeveloped but the languages they speak are by no means primitive. In all the languages existing in the world today, there are complexities that must have been developed for years. Third, we know that all languages are perfectly adequate. Each is a perfect means of expressing its culture. And finally, we know that language changes over time, which is natural and normal if a language is to survive. The language which remains unchanged is nothing but dead. Characteristics of A Good Reader (2001) To improve your reading habits, you must understand the characteristics of a good reader.

大学英语四级听力短对话解题技巧

大学英语四级听力短对话解题技巧 短对话6大解题技巧 四级考试短对话听力共由8组短对话构成,每组对话为一个话轮(通常由一男一女各读一句),对话后有一个针对对话内容提出的问题。考生需根据所听到的录音内容,从试卷上提供的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。考试时,每组短对话和问题只朗读一遍,每个问题后留有15秒答题时间。短对话听力部分的取材一般为考生比较熟悉,与考生学习、生活或与工作、旅游等密切相关的常见话题。 技巧1听到什么不选什么 严格来说,“听到什么不选什么”是一个颇有风险的“技巧”。可是,正如风险投资一样,风险越高,回报率也就越高。此外,由于短对话很“短”,来来回回就两三句话,考点挖掘的余地全在对话的几个词。因此,命题者必然要在选项上做文章,如通过将原文的词汇加以组合,拼凑成与原文“貌合神离”的干扰选项,让没有听懂全文、只听到个别词句的考生上当受骗。而正确答案往往是原文的同义替换(或解释说明)。“听到什么不选什么”这一技巧尤其适用于一些比较简单的短对话! 技巧2答非所问,必有弦外之音 在段对话中,如果一个说话人使用了一般疑问句,第二个说话人该怎样回答呢?通常来说,第二个说话人应该用Yes 或No——刚开始学英语的时候,老师就教我们这一点了。然而,在短对话听力中,我们经常听到的却是Yes 或No的变体,即回答中不仅没有出现Yes 或No,而且有时候还会用问句来回答问句!这时,出题人往往会考查对第二个说话人回答的理解。一般来说,如果第二个说话人对第一个说话人的一般疑问句不作直接回答,则通常表示第二个说话人对第一个说话人所提及的内容持一种否定态度,或者是一种带条件的肯定态度。正确答案即可由此选定。 技巧3简单回答不简单 短对话听力考试中,有时对于第一个说话人的提问或者声明,第二个说话人的回答会包含“简单回答+详细解说”两部分。其中,简短回答部分是日常口语,容易听懂;然而后面紧跟着的解说部分则往往较长,且充满了种种艰深的词汇,令人费解。 若详细解说前没有but,则解说部分是对前面简短问题的补充说明;若详细解说前有but,则属于“中but题”,解说部分含义与简短回答部分相反,由此可推出答案。通常来说,第二个说话人的简短回答是其完整回答的“先遣部队”,对理解对话、解答问题具有重要的价值,应留意。 技巧4直接排除语义相近选项 当四个选项中有两个(以上)选项在意思上相同或相近时,可以初步排除这两个(以上)的(同)近义选项,再带着预先的期待听录音,往往事半功倍。本技巧特别适合逻辑分析能力比听力能力强的考生。

News 1 A device that weighs less than one kilogram is part of a mission that will allow scientists to deliver fourth generation or 4G mobile coverage to the moon in 2019。 If successful, the tiny device will provide the moon with its first ever mobile phone network。 The lunar network will support high definition streaming of video and data between the moon and earth。 The network is part of a mission to the moon。 This is a project with the goal of landing the first privately paid for mission to the moon。 The 4G mission is set to launch from Cape Canaveral in the United States on a space X Falcon 9 rocket in 2019。 Mission to the moon intends to establish and test the first elements of a communications network on the moon。 The scientists working on the project opted to build a 4G rather than a fifth generation or 5G network。 This is because fifth generation networks are still in testing and trial phases。 This means that a 5G network may not yet be stable enough to work on the moon‘s surface Question 1:What are scientists planning to do? Question 2:Why did scientists choose to set up a 4G network in their mission?
