Passage One
With wild carrots, the roots are white, small and skinny, so you’d have to pick a lot of wild carrots to get enough to eat. Doctors used carrot seeds and roots as medicine on the theory that foods that taste bad must be good for you. 野生胡萝卜的根是白色的，又小又瘦，所以你必须采摘很多野生胡萝卜才能得到足够的
食物。医生用胡萝卜种子和根作为药物，认为味道不好的食物一定对你
有好处。
Around 800 AD, people in Central Asia managed to develop a new kind of carrot—a purple carrot that attracted more interest
from international traders. (17) Then in the late 1500s, food scientists in the Netherlands cultivated large, straight, sweet, red carrots like the ones we eat today. But people still mostly fed carrots to horses, donkeys and pigs, and didn’t eat them themselves.
大约在公元800年，中亚人试图发展一种新的carrot-a紫色胡萝卜，吸
引了更多的兴趣，从国际贸易类。（17）然后在16世纪末，在荷兰食品
科学家培育大的，直的，甜的，红色的胡萝卜像今天我们吃的。但人们
仍然主要喂胡萝卜，马，驴和猪，并没有吃他们自己。
In the 1600s, people in China used carrots as medicine, but
they also ate carrots boiled in soup. The red color was popular for Chinese New Year celebrations. (18) But carrots got their biggest boost during the two world wars when food shortages forced people to eat them, and governments told everyone how healthy carrots were; Today, cooler countries grow most of the world’s carrots. Machines do most of the planting and picking, and carrots are easy to store and ship, so they are cheap
almost everywhere.
在17世纪，人们在中国以胡萝卜为药，但他们也吃胡萝卜煮的汤。红色在中国新年庆祝活动中很受欢迎。（18）胡萝卜在两次世界大战中得到最大的推动，当时粮食短缺迫使人们食用它们，各国政府告诉每个人胡萝卜是多么健康；如今，较冷的国家种植了世界上大部分的胡萝卜。大多数的机器都种植和采摘，胡萝卜很容易储存和运输，所以它们几乎到处都是便宜的。
Passage Two
Katherine loved Facebook. With Facebook, she could stay connected with her family no matter how far away they were. She could see their photos and read their status updates. With Facebook, she could keep her relatives up to date on what she was doing.
凯瑟琳喜欢脸谱网。有了脸谱网，她可以和家人保持联系，不管他们离我们有多远。她可以看到他们的照片并阅读他们的状态更新。有了脸谱网，她可以让她的亲戚知道她在做什么。 (19) Another thing Katherine loved about Facebook was that she didn’t have to think about time zones when updating family. Whenever she
called her parents or other relatives, she always had to think about the time difference so that she wouldn’t wake someone up or call when she knew they were in church. (19) Facebook was so convenient. （19）
凯瑟琳喜欢脸谱网的另一件事是她在更新家庭时不必考虑时区。每当她打电话给她的父母或其他亲戚，她总是不得不考虑时间的差异，这样她就不会叫醒某人或打电话时，她知道他们在教堂。（19）脸谱网很方便。
When Catherine joined Facebook, some of her classmates at high school started to add her as a friend. (20) At first, this didn’t bother her. She loved learning about the success of people she knew when she was just a teenager. She loved finding out people were getting married, having babies and travelling.
(21) Soon however, Katherine found herself comparing herself with the people she was reading about on Facebook. It began to make her feel bad that some people seem to be doing so much better than she was. She was also spending a lot of time on Facebook. It took a lot of time and energy to keep up with everyone’s status updates. Katherine started to think. She looked at the list of over 500 friends she had on Facebook and realized some of them were not really friends at all.
当凯瑟琳加入脸谱网时，她的一些高中同学开始把她当作朋友。（20）起初，这并没有打扰她。她喜欢学习她年轻时所认识的人的成功。她喜欢找到人们结婚、生孩子和旅行。（21）很快，凯瑟琳发现自己和她在脸谱网上读过的人进行了比较。有些人似乎比她做得好得多，这使她感到难过。她也花了很多时间在脸谱网上。要跟上每个人的状态更新需要
花费很多时间和精力。凯瑟琳开始思考。她查看了她在脸谱网上的500
多个朋友的名单，发现其中有些朋友根本就不是真正的朋友。
Passage Three Do you know where a mule comes from It is the child of a donkey and a horse. (22) Mules have strong muscles like horses but they eat less, can work longer, and are gentler like donkeys. George Washington was the first person in the United States to own mules. He had heard that mules made good farm animals and he contacted the U.S. ambassador in Spain to ask about them. (23) In 1785, King Charles III of Spain sent Washington a male donkey as a gift. That male donkey became the father of the mule industry in the U.S. 你知道骡子是从哪里来的吗？它是驴和马的孩子。（22）骡子有强壮的肌肉，像马，但它们吃得少，能工作得更长，而且比驴更温和。乔治·华盛顿是美国第一个拥有骡子的人。他听说骡子是很好的农场动物，他联系了驻西班牙的大使询问他们。（23）1785年，西班牙国王Charles III送给华盛顿一头驴作为礼物。那只公驴成了美国骡业的父亲。
Every April, Maury County holds a Mule Day celebration. (24) Held in Columbia, Tennessee, Mule Day had its beginnings as “Breeder’s Day” in the 1840s. Farmers and farm animal breeders would bring their animals to market every April to show, buy and trade. This was an important business before the days of tractors when many families made a living from farming,
and mules were used as work animals. (25) Eventually, tractors began to replace mules, making them less in demand. 每年四月，莫里县举行骡日庆祝活动。（24）在哥伦比亚市举行，田纳西、骡日起源“饲养员的一天”的年代，农民和农场动物的饲养者会带着他们的牲畜市场每年四月显示，购买和交易。在拖拉机时代，这是一项重要的生意，许多家庭以务农为生，骡子则被用作劳动动物。（25）最后，拖拉机开始取代骡子，使他们的需求减少。
A parade was added to Mule Day in 1934 to attract more people. Over the years, other activities have been added. And today more than 200,000 people show up each year to watch and participate. If you visit during Mule Day celebrations, you might see mule-driving contests, square dances, horn shows, or even tree cutting competitions. 1934的骡子节增加了游行队伍以吸引更多的人。多年来，增加了其他活动。今天，每年有200000多人出席观看和参加。如果你在“骡子日”庆祝活动中参观，你可能会看到骡子比赛、广场舞、喇叭表演甚至是树木切割比赛。

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 mo on’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? News 2 It’s responded to a fire Wednesday night at an abandoned mall in Heywood. The fire was reported at 9:26 pm at an old shopping center on Michigan Avenue near St. Mary’s Church. Six fire engines, two trucks and two chiefs responded to the scene. Crews had the fire under control in about 45 minutes and managed to contain the fire to its point of origin. There were some people inside the building when the fire broke out but there were no reports of any injuries. Fire investigators have responded to the scene but have not yet determined the cause of the fire. Firefighters will remain on the scene until later this m orning to ensure that the fire doesn’t start up again. The shopping mall had not been in use since 2002. In 2014 City Hall developed a plan to knock down the building and replace it with affordable housing. However the plan was dropped due to lack of funds. Question 3: What does the news item say about the fire? Question 4: What had City Hall planned to do? News 3 Potato chips in Japan are being sold for 6X their normal price. This is after the country’s main manufacturer stopped sales due to a potato shortage. Storms and floods and its main potato growing region last year caused the worst harvest and more than 3 decades.

2016年6月大学英语四级真题听力原文(一二三套) 2016年6月大学英语四级真题第一套听力原文 SectionA News report 1 The international labor organization says the number of people without jobs is increasing. In its latest update on global employment trends, the agency says projections of the number on unemployed people this year range from 210 million to nearly 240 million people. The report warns that 200 million poor workers are at risk of joining the ranks of people leaving on less than 2 dollars per day in the past 3 years. The Director-General of the International Labor Organization Juan Somavia notes that some countries have taken measures to address the effects of the global crisis. However, he points out that many countries have not done so. And based on past experiences, it takes 4-5 years after economic recovery for unemployment to return to pre-crisis levels. Mr. Somavia says the International Labour Organization is proposing a global job agreement to deal with unemployment. “It's key objective is to place the center of recovery efforts, measures will generate higher levels of employment and provide basic social protection for the most vulnerable.” 1、What is the news report main about? 2、What does Juan Somavia, Director-General of the International Labour Organization say?

If they want to eat fewer calories, they can. And we expect this will have a huge impact on obesity.
