Unit 3 Schools and Universities

Thinking Ahead

Students are asked to discuss the following questions in groups. The reference answers for the questions are offered below:

1. Do you like your university? Describe your dream university.

Well, I love it. It is awesome! I’ve never had so much fun or learned so much about a topic, or most importantly, learned so much about myself. I’ve met so many great and diverse people and been in situations that I never thought I’d ever be in. I would not trade my years at the university for anything.

My dream university is the one where I can breathe the cool air and chat with my easy-going friends about our common interest freely.

The beautiful campus with a lake and extensive parkland greenery is a must. Moreover, I dreamed of joining numerous student clubs and other organizations which demonstrate the breadth of student interests in academic and career areas, social issues, athletics and much more.

In my opinion, studying in a university is an experience that goes far beyond lectures, and the academic life should be dynamic and vibrant （生气勃勃的）.

2. How do you make use of the facilities and resources in your university?

My university boasts numerous facilities including library, gym, pub, etc, among which the library and gym are the two which I make full use of. As for me, study is still the priority. The library facility includes traditional reading areas where silence is the rule; there, it is less likely to be distracted by the noise outside. There are also areas designated for group study where you can communicate and interact with your colleagues for group projects. Also, the enormous collections of the books help to broaden my horizon and the library staff provide us with the effective Internet searching strategy, which enables me to study independently.

Moreover, being in good physical health is critical to maintaining good academic standing as well as quality of life. The campus gym offers enormous facility with spaces and programs for students at all levels of physical skill and activity. I go to gym three times a week to get good workout. It helps me to relax and release the stress, and concentrate easily on my academic study.

“Oxford is the pre-eminent research university that, when it does things, it does things at the very very highest level. And serious-research universities are places where the cleverest people on the planet think really hard about the hardest problems on the planet.”

“I would say that the things that strike me the most about Oxford, what I do appreciate about it the most is that it taught me to think again. That the spirit in the air, of learning, of feeling like you are a part of a long legacy of centuries of academic excellence, and being around people also who reaffirm that.”

As a student at the Oxford University, you become a member of an Oxford college, which contains a wealth of history and tradition. There are 39 different colleges in the university; each has its own academic fellowship and individual student community.

Freshers’ Week

Freshers’ Week at universities can be a nerve-wracking experience.

The UK has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, it can be overwhelming and sometimes confusing.

October is usually the busiest month in the academic calendar. Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life.

However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-wracking. Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?

Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.

Here are some top tips from past students on how to survive Freshers’Week:

●Blend in. Make sure you are aware of British social etiquette. Have a few wine

glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.

●Be hospitable. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head

start in making friends.

●Be sociable. The more acti ve you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new

people than if you’re someone who never leaves their room.

●Bring a doorstop. Ke ep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive

messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.

So with a bit of clever planning and motivation, Freshers’Week can give you a great start to yo ur university life and soon you’ll be passing on your wisdom to next year’s new recruits.

Task 2

Students will listen to a conversation between a teacher and a student, and then do the exercises as required. Before listening, students are supposed to read the words and expressions related to the dialogue.

Transcript

A Dialogue between a Teacher and a Student

Dr Richardson: Enter, please.

David Simons: Good afternoon, Dr Richardson.

Dr Richardson: Good afternoon. You’re David Simons, is that right?

David Simons: Yes. I’ve an appointment to talk about the course requirements with you. Dr Richardson: Fine. Now why don’t you take a seat over there and I’ll just get some details from you. First, can I have your home address and your student number? David Simons: That’s 15 Market Avenue, Hornsby and my student number is C97H85. Dr Richardson: OK. Now I see here that you’ve already completed 18 credit points, but that you haven’t done the Screen Studies course which is normally a prerequisite for this course. Why is that, David?

David Simons: Oh, the course coordinator gave me an exemption because I’ve worked for a couple of years in the movie and television business and they considered my practical experience fulfilled the same requirements.

Dr Richardson: Fine. Shall we go over the course requirements first, and then you can bring up any queries or problems you might have. It might be most useful to start with a few dates. The final examination will be in the last week of June, that’s the week of the 23rd. but the final date hasn’t been set. It should be the 25th or the 20th, but you don’t have to worry about that yet. Before that, as you can see in your study guide, there are three essay assignments and some set exercises. I’ll deal with these first. These set exercises are concerned with defining concepts and key terms. They do have fixed answers not in the wording but in the content. To that extent they are quite mechanical, and provide an opportunity for you to do very well as long as your answers are very specific and clear.

David Simons: Yes, I see there are about twenty terms here. How long should the answers be?

Dr Richarson: You shouldn’t exceed 250 words for each term.

David Simons:Right. That looks easy enough. And the third assignment seems fairly straightforward too. Just a journalistic type review of a recent development in television. It’s not so different from what I’ve done in my work.

Dr Richarson: Yes, it should be fairly easy for you, but don’t exceed 1,000 words on that one. Essays 1 and 2 are the long ones. The first essay should be about 2,000 words and the second 2,500 to 3,000, and the approach for both should be analytical.

In the first one, your focus should be on TV and the audience, and you should primarily consider the theoretical issues, particularly in relation to trying to understand audience studies. In the second, I’ll want you to focus on analyzing television programs.

David Simons: Should I concentrate on one particular type of program for that?

Dr Richarson: Not necessarily. But you must be careful not to overextend yourself here.

A comparison between two programs or even between two channels is fine, or a

focus on one type of program, such as a particular series, works well here.

David Simons: So if I wanted to look at television news programs, that would be OK? Dr Richarson:Yes, there would be no problem with that. In fact it’s quite a popular choice, and most students handle it very well.

David Simons: Good. I’ll probably do that, because it’s the area I want to work in later.

Additional Listening

In this section, students will listen to a lecture given by a counselor about the campus facilities and then do the exercises as required. Before listening, students are supposed to read the words and expressions related to the lecture.

Campus Facilities

Hi, I am your counselor for this year. Today we will visit the facilities available to you on our campus. As students, you should take advantage of everything you have available to you.

How many of you like sports? Well, I hope most of you do, because our school has great sports facilities. We have an indoor gym with state of the art equipment. First I want to tell you about our basketball facilities. There are 2 basketball courts, both are full court

and open for student use. We offer basketball leagues that all students are invited to join, just sign up with a team. Usually there are games on the courts, but during the league time, only the teams are allowed to use the courts. The basketball courts are open 24 hours a day. If you want a job, you can be a referee at the games.

Next, I want to tell you about the tennis facilities. We have 5 tennis courts available for student use. The tennis courts are open everyday 8 am until 10 in the evening. You should call ahead to reserve a court, because they are very popular and can often be booked weeks in advance. There are rackets and balls available for rent at the front desk of the courts.

There is an Olympic size swimming pool that is open for students and the general public. There are also showers and locker rooms available. The swimming pool is open everyday 9 am until 7 in the evening. There are openings for the position of lifeguards, so if you are looking for a job in the sun, this might be good for you.

There are also 2 weight rooms and a gymnastics room. The weight rooms have all the standard equipment available. Please check with the gym to see the open hours, because they vary from time to time. The gymnastics room is usually not open for individual users because there are almost always classes held in the room. However, if you are interested, you may sign up for gymnastics classes. Plus if you like martial arts and boxing, we offer classes for everyone, from beginners to advanced students. Please check the schedule for availability. There is everything available from Chinese Wushu to Brazilian wrestling.

I will talk for a brief moment about our library system. Our campus has 3 libraries available to undergraduate students, one additional graduate library, and one faculty library. The libraries are open daily until midnight, except for during testing periods, when the libraries will be open 24 hours. Please look on a map to see where the libraries are located. All students with a valid ID can check out books, with a maximum of 10 books at a time. Books can be checked out for a 2 weeks period, and then renewed for a one month maximum. After that, there is a 1$ fine per week that the book is overdue. I will repeat that…There is a hefty one dollar fine per week! So it is a good idea to return books on time. If you lose a book, then you will have to repay the library for it, plus a fine. If you damage a book, most likely you will have to repay the value of the book. So please, enjoy the library facilities, but take care of the school’s belongings. The library is also equipped with 200 computers for student use. They are all internet ready and available for use. You must sign up at the library for 1 hour timeslots. You may sign up for up to 3 consecutive slots at a time. No one can use the computers without first signing in at the library.

That is it for now. Thank you for your attention.

Reference Answer

In my opinion, a good university should create a most beautiful academic setting where the historic architecture and the inviting green spaces are integrated together. Students can be able to really breathe in the atmosphere. A good university should be dedicated to helping students think smart as they build their academic, personal and career success. I think the key ingredients of a good education include a capable faculty, and strong academic programs. A good university should balance its educational program and close attention to student needs with a progressive look to the future to meet the needs of changing society. In addition to the beautiful campus and the prestigious academic strength, students should enjoy excellent accommodations that help define the university experience. Moreover, a good university should boast attractive and abundant resources and facilities, which support students to enjoy and experience the high-quality academic program, and colorful social life at the same time.

Task 2 Group Work

Students are asked to redesign and redecorate the apartment they have just rented.

Teaching Strategy

Step 1

Divide the class into pairs and ask them to share the two-bedroom apartment.

Step 2

Ask the students to think of the things they want to put in the apartment and where they’d like to put them

Step 3

Let the students begin the discussion and reach an agreement.

Step 4

Ask the students to draw the layout of their apartment and present it to the class.

Task 3 Problem Solving

Fresher’s Week at universities can be a nerve-wracking experience. Students are asked to identify the problems they might encounter at university and come up with solutions to them.

Teaching Strategy

Step 1

List the categories of problems that students may encounter at university on the board. Such as, study, financial problem, relations with others, etc.

Step 2

Divide the class into groups of four. Assign each group a specific category for discussion. Each group, with the help of the related words and phrases, is required to list in detail the problems relevant to the category given to them and tries hard to offer advice or solutions to these problems.

Step 3

Draw the chart on the board. 10-15 minutes later, ask each group to report what they have discussed.

Reference Answer

Far from reflecting on the many new opportunities before me, I was wondering if I will ever feel settled when I first stepped into the college. I was even experiencing doubts about my decision to go to university in the first place. It seems that most new students go through a negative period in which our thoughts may be dominated by feelings of loneliness, anxiety, homesickness or combination of these.

It is important to believe that you are not the only one feeling like this; even those around you appear to be happy and coping well. If you are feeling homesick, phone home and talk it through with your family and friends. However, try not to give up too quickly and rush home at the first available opportunity as this will not help in the long term. It will mean that you are not around at times when other freshers are making a big effort to initiate friendship and may mean you miss important social events. Instead, you might suggest that your friends from home visit you at university. This is particularly important if you are hoping to combine a long-distance relationship with life at university.

Time for Fun

Unit 6 Traveling and Sightseeing Thinking Ahead Students are asked to discuss the following questions in groups. The reference answers for the questions are offered below: 1. Do you like traveling? Where have you been before? Yes, I do. I have been to quite a lot of places, Mountain Tai, the Great Wall, Korea and Singapore, among which, Singapore impresses me the most for its combination of both a prosperous society and city of natural beauty. Believe me: you can never forget this country once you take a deep breath of fresh air there. 2. How to make a reservation in the hotel? Firstly, you should make it clear when you want to check in, how long you are supposed to stay there. Then, you should tell what kind of room and how many rooms you want. The last but not the least is that, you must leave your name and maybe your contact number, which will surely help you a lot afterwards. 3. What should you pay attention to when at table abroad? mind your manners at table; pay attention to your words and gestures; handle your knives and forks correctly; never talk with your mouth full; never make sounds when you’re eating or drinking something.

新视野大学英语视听说教程1原文及答案Unit6

II. Listening Skills Listening to People Talk About Health 1.M: I haven’t been to see my doctor for a very long time. I’m worried that he’ll be angry with me for not having a physical examination for so long. W: Which is more important, the doctor’s feelings or your health? You’d better go if you want to make sure everything is all right with you. It seems that the man worries more about the doctor’s feelings than his own health. 2.W: Oh, I’ve got a cold. I’m not used to the cold weather, and it often gets the best of me. What I need now is some good medicine. M: The best medicine is to keep healthy. I promise you that if you get involved with some sort of physical exercise, you’ll get sick a lot less. Why don’t you try joining a gym? The woman catches cold easily and believes in taking some good medicine, but the man thinks physical exercise is more important. 3.W: Exams are coming up soon. I’ve been so busy with schoolwork that I’ve had a lot of trouble sleeping. M: School is important, but so is your health. Maybe you should talk to a doctor. Doctors see people all the time for this very problem. They can help you. The woman has been so busy with schoolwork that she has had difficulty sleeping. The man believes that health is important that she should see a doctor. 4. M: Do you mind if I have a cigarette before we eat? W: Well, actually, I do. If you don’t mind, could you smoke outside? If you want to poison your body and shorten your life, that’s your business. But as for me, I want to live long and healthy. The woman asks the man to smoke outside because she wants to live long and healthy. She believes second-hand smoke causes cancer too. 5. W: Robert, when we last talked, you promised there would be less television and junk food, and more exercise in your life. But now you’re becoming quite overweight. M: I know it’s bad, but I really like watching TV. After all we should enjoy ourselves while we are young. W: But you’re risking your health watching TV so much. M: Oh, yes: heart trouble, high blood pressure. But I’d rather die than give up TV. The man once promised he would watch TV less, eat less junk food and have more exercise. But he believes it is more important to enjoy himself, although the woman says he’s risking his health watching TV so much. III. Listening In Task 1: Diets If you’re a young lady in your twenties, you may be either on a diet or wondering which diet to follow. Indeed, people are so concerned with their appearance that the word “diet”has lost its original meaning. It now has the same meaning as “weight loss diet”. There was a time when women bound their waists to have a nice figure. Them came Twiggy, a British supermodel most famous in the 1960s, and since then everyone has wanted to look like a twig. Because of this trend, many diets have become popular. It is not uncommon to meet young girls who look weak enough to be blown away in the wind, yet they are still talking about diets! However, extreme diets can lead to health problems. Many such dieters may end up with very serious disorders. Princess Diana suffered from an excessively strong appetite; Karen Carpenter, a popular singer of the 1970s, died of the less of appetite. You should know that looking good is important but not when it comes at he risk of your health and life. Better eating habits and proper exercise are all you need to be fit and look good. 1.A 2.C 3.B 4.B 5.C Task 2: Culture Shock (D=Doctor; S=Student) D: Hello, I’m Dr. Black. How’re you feeling? S: I’m not feeling well, doctor.

She was surprised to see so many Englishmen who looked alike. They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats. They were all carrying umbrellas and newspapers. When she returned home she asked Mr clark about these strange creatures. "They must be typical English gentlemen," she said." I have often read about them and seen photographs of them. They all look as if they are wearing a uniform. Does the typical English gentleman still exist?" Mr. Clark laughed. "I've never thought about it," he answered." It's true that many of the men who work in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I suppose they are typical Englishmen. But look at this." Mr. Clark picked up a magazine and pointed at a photo of a young man. "He's just as typical, perhaps. It seems as if there is no such thing as a 'typical' Englishman. Do you know the English saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world'? That's true of all countries-including England." “Oh, just like the poem ‘If All the Seas Were One Sea’,” Gretel began to hum happily. If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea that would be! If all the trees were one tree, what a great tree that would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, w hat a great splash that would be!” Task 2 【答案】 A. 1) people were much busier 2) colder than England; minus thirty degrees; last longer 3) much more mountainous; much higher and much more rocky; more beautiful 4) tend to be more crowded 5) the houses; smaller B. 1) T 2) T 3) F 4) F 5) F 【原文】 John is British but has worked in Japan.

2016年6月大学英语四级考试真题（第3套）参考答案 Part I Writing Dear Jack, I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for the assistance you provided to me. You are the kindest teacher that I have ever met. If it had not been for your help and encouragement, I am afraid that I would not have made remarkable progress in English throughout the school year. There is no denying the fact that my success in entering college is attributed in great part to your guidance and encouragement. It was you who motivated me to study hard and brought home to me the importance of mastering English to my future achievement. Moreover, not only did you help me find out a feasible way to improve my English, but you also made plans and set goals to achieve my full potential in learning English. Again, many thanks for all the things you have done for me. May everything go well with you. Sincerely yours, Part IV Translation Wuzhen is an ancient water town in Zhejiang Province, located on the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. This is a charming place, with many ancient bridges, Chinese hotels and restaurants. Over the past 1,000 years, the water system and life styles in Wuzhen have not undergone many changes, thus making it a museum showing the ancient civilization. All the houses in Wuzhen are built of stone and wood. For centuries, the local people have built houses and markets along the river. Countless beautiful spacious courtyards hide between houses, and visitors will make a surprising discovery wherever they go.
