[02:30.57]College English Test Band Four
[02:34.62]Part Three Listening Comprehension
[02:38.56]Section A
[02:40.31]Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.
[02:49.27]At the end of each conversation,
[02:52.12]one or more questions will be asked about what was said.
[02:56.17]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.
[03:01.63]After each question there will be a pause.
[03:05.90]During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D),
[03:13.67]and decide which is the best answer.
[03:16.62]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2
[03:21.86]with a single line through the centre.
[03:24.90]Now let's begin with the eight short conversations.
[03:30.70]11. M: Today's a bad day for me.
[03:37.15]I fell off a step and twisted my ankle.
[03:40.43]W: Don't worry. Usually ankle injuries heal quickly
[03:45.14]if you stop regular activities for a while.
[03:48.64]Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
[04:08.29]12. W: May I see your ticket, please?
[04:13.21]I think you are sitting in my seat.
[04:15.84]M: Oh, you're right. My seat is in the balcony.
[04:19.88]I'm terribly sorry.
[04:22.18]Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?
[04:43.25]13. W: Did you hear Jay Smith died in his sleep last night?
[04:50.14]M: Yes, it's very sad.
[04:52.33]Please let everybody know that whoever wants to may attend the funeral.
[04:57.69]Q: What are the speakers talking about?
[05:17.26]14. M: Have you taken Professor Young's exam before?
[05:23.61]I'm kind of nervous.
[05:25.57]W: Yes. Just concentrate on the important ideas
[05:29.73]she's talked about in class, and ignore the details.
[05:34.00]Q: How does the woman suggest the man prepare for Professor Young's exam?
[05:55.27]15. W: I'm so sorry, sir.
[06:00.95]And you'll let me pay to have your jacket cleaned, won't you?
[06:04.56]M: That's all right. It could happen to anyone.
[06:07.74]And I'm sure that coffee doesn't leave lasting marks on clothing.
[06:12.66]Q: What can we infer from the conversation?
[06:32.60]16. W: Have you seen the movie The Departed?
[06:38.07]The plot is so complicated that I really got lost.
[06:42.01]M: Yeah. I felt the same. But after I saw it a second time,
[06:46.71]I could put all the pieces together.
[06:49.23]Q: How did the two speakers find the movie?
[07:08.49]17. M: I'm really surprised you got an A on the test.
[07:15.38]You didn't seem to have done a lot of reading.
[07:18.00]W: Now you know why I never missed a lecture.
[07:21.94]Q: What contributes to the woman's high score?
[07:41.17

]18. W: Have you heard about the new digital television system?
[07:48.07]It lets people get about 500 channels.
[07:51.90]M: Yeah, but I doubt that will have anything different from what we watch now.
[07:56.49]Q: What does the man mean?
[08:14.46]Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
[08:18.94]Conversation One
[08:21.13]W: Gosh, have you seen this, Richard?
[08:25.18]M: See what?
[08:26.38]W: In the paper, it says there's a man going round
[08:30.53]pretending he is from the electricity board.
[08:33.59]He's been calling at people's homes,
[08:36.88]saying he's come to check that all their appliances are safe.
[08:41.69]Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea,
[08:45.41]and while they are out of the room,
[08:47.49]he steals their money, handbag, whatever, and makes off with it.
[08:52.74]M: But you know Jean, it's partly their own fault.
[08:55.80]You should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them.
[09:00.18]W: It's all very well to say that,
[09:02.58]but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas
[09:06.96]and you automatically think they are OK
[09:10.02]especially if they flash a card to you.
[09:12.75]M: Does this man have an ID then?
[09:15.15]W: Yes, that's just it.
[09:17.12]It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time.
[09:21.17]According to the paper, the police are warning people, especially pensioners,
[09:27.52]not to admit anyone unless they have an appointment.
[09:31.45]It's a bit sad. One old lady told them,
[09:35.06]she'd just been to the post office to draw her pension,
[09:38.78]when he called, she said he must follow her home.
[09:42.39]He stole the whole lot.
[09:44.47]M: But, what does he look like? Surely they must have a description.
[09:48.71]W: Oh, yes. They have. Let's see, in his 30s, tall, bushy dark hair,
[09:56.15]slight northern accent. Sounds a bit like you actually.
[10:00.63]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[10:09.05]19. What does the woman want the man to read in the newspaper?
[10:32.06]20. How did the man mentioned in the newspaper
[10:38.31]try to win further trust from the victims?
[10:56.31]21. What is the warning from the police?
[11:17.68]22. What does the woman speaker tell us about the old lady?
[11:40.11]Conversation Two
[11:42.73]M: Miss Jones, could you tell me more about your first job
[11:48.43]with hotel marketing concepts.
[11:51.05]W: Yes, certainly. I was a marketing consultant
[11:55.46]responsible for marketing 10 UK hotels.
[11:59.50]They were all luxury hotels in the leisure sector,
[12:03.65]all of very high standard.
[12:06.72]M: Which markets were you responsible for?
[12:09.56]W: For Europe and Japan.
[12:11.31]M: I see from your resume that you speak Japanese.
[12:15.68]Have you ever been to Japan?
[12:17.87]W: Yes, I have. I spent a month in Japan in 2006.
[12:22.79]I met all the key people in the tourist industry,
[12:25.96]th

e big tour operators,
[12:27.72]and the tourist organizations.
[12:29.61]As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage.
[12:33.66]M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan,
[12:38.04]in your present job?
[12:39.78]W: Yes, I've had a lot.
[12:41.54]Cruises have become very popular with the Japanese
[12:45.69]both for holidays and for business conferences.
[12:49.41]In fact, the market for all types of luxury holidays
[12:53.35]for the Japanese has increased a lot recently.
[12:56.52]M: Really? I'm interested to hear more about that.
[12:59.91]But first tell me, have you ever traveled on a luxury train,
[13:03.85]the Orient Express for example?
[13:06.80]W: No, I haven't. But I've traveled on the Glacier Express through Switzerland,
[13:12.26]and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago.
[13:16.97]I love train travel. That's why I am very interested in this job.
[13:22.44]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[13:30.31]23. What did the woman do in her first job?
[13:52.19]24. What gave the woman an advantage during her business trip in Japan?
[14:15.66]25. Why is the woman applying for the new job?
[14:36.34]Section B
[14:38.19]Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages.
[14:45.42]At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions.
[14:49.46]Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.
[14:55.15]After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer
[14:59.63]from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
[15:04.88]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2
[15:10.13]with a single line through the centre.
[15:13.08]Passage One
[15:16.36]Time. I think a lot about time
[15:21.18]and not just because it's the name of the news organization I work for.
[15:26.21]Like most working people,
[15:29.16]I find time or the lack of it a never ending frustration and an unwinable battle.
[15:36.49]My every day is a race against the clock that I never ever seem to win.
[15:42.84]This is hardly a lonesome complaint.
[15:46.88]According to the Families and Work Institutes, national study of the changing workforce,
[15:53.11]55% of the employees say they don't have enough time for themselves,
[15:59.68]63% don't have enough time for their spouses or partners,
[16:05.36]and 67% don't have enough time for their children.
[16:10.51]It's also not a new complaint.
[16:13.67]I bet our ancestors returned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts,
[16:20.24]and complained about how little time they had to paint battle scenes on their cave walls.
[16:26.15]The difference is that the boss of animal hunting and the head of nut gathering
[16:32.70]probably told them to “Shut up!” or “No survival for you!”
[16:36.75]Today's workers are still demanding control over their time,
[16:42.22]the difference is: today's bosses are listening.
[16:46.82]I've been reading a report issued today called When Work Works,
[1

6:53.26]produced jointly by three organizations.
[16:56.76]They set out to find and award the employers
[17:01.25]who employ the most creative and most effective ways
[17:04.97]to give their workers flexibility.
[17:07.92]I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.
[17:15.47]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[17:23.23]26. What is the speaker complaining about?
[17:44.72]27. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?
[18:06.52]28. Why does the speaker suggest all bosses read the report by the three organizations?
[18:31.96]Passage Two
[18:33.50]“Loving a child is a circular business.
[18:37.76]The more you give, the more you get, the more you want to give.”
[18:42.58]Penalapy Leach once said.
[18:44.65]What she said proves to be true of my blended family.
[18:49.19]I was born in 1931. As the youngest of six children,
[18:55.20]I learn to share my parents' love.
[18:57.94]Raising six children during the difficult times of the Great Depression
[19:02.97]took its toll on my parents' relationship
[19:06.14]and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old.
[19:09.97]Daddy never had very close relationships with his children
[19:14.46]and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce.
[19:18.61]Several years later, a wonderful woman came into his life,
[19:24.08]and they were married. She had two sons.
[19:27.36]One of them is still at home.
[19:29.65]Under her influence we became a blended family
[19:34.14]and a good relationship developed between the two families.
[19:38.41]She always treated us as if we were her own children.
[19:42.34]It was because of our other mother, daddy's second wife,
[19:47.04]that he became closer to his own children.
[19:50.54]They shared over 25 years together before our father passed away.
[19:56.23]At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother,
[20:00.94]daddy's first wife, attending his funeral.
[20:04.10]I will never forget the unconditional love shown by my stepmother,
[20:09.03]when I asked her if she would object to mother attending daddy's funeral.
[20:13.84]Without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied,
[20:18.22]“Of course not, honey, she is the mother of my children.”
[20:22.70]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[20:30.46]29. According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents' divorce?
[20:54.90]30. What brought the father closer to his own children?
[21:17.11]31. What message does the speaker want to convey in this talk?
[21:40.13]Passage Three
[21:42.10]In February last year, my wife lost her job.
[21:47.79]Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager
[21:53.70]died of a heart attack.
[21:55.55]His family announced that they were going to close the business
[21:59.71]because no one in the family wanted to run it.
[22:02.66]Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the want-ads

each day.
[22:09.77]Then one morning, as I was hanging out “Going Out of Business” sign at the greenhouse,
[22:16.11]the door opened and in walked a customer.
[22:20.16]She was an office manager
[22:22.90]whose company has just moved into the new office park on the edge of town.
[22:27.60]She was looking for potted plants to place in the reception areas and offices.
[22:33.51]“I don't know anything about plants,” she said.
[22:37.66]“I'm sure in a few weeks they'll all be dead.”
[22:41.05]While I was helping her select her purchases, my mind was racing.
[22:47.39]Perhaps as many as a dozen firms had recently opened offices in the new office park,
[22:54.29]and there were several hundred more acres with construction under way.
[22:59.75]That afternoon, I drove out to the office park.
[23:04.90]By six o'clock that evening I had signed contracts with seven companies
[23:11.23]to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them.
[23:16.04]Within a week, I had worked out an agreement
[23:20.46]to lease the greenhouse from the owner's family.
[23:24.18]Business is now increasing rapidly.
[23:27.13]And one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.
[23:33.04]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[23:39.93]32. What do we learn about the greenhouse?
[24:00.28]33. What was the speaker doing when the customer walked in one morning?
[24:22.12]34. What did the speaker think of when serving the office manager?
[24:44.57]35. What was the speaker's hope for the future?
[25:06.16]Section C
[25:08.24]Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times.
[25:15.13]When the passage is read for the first time,
[25:17.87]you should listen carefully for its general idea.
[25:21.37]When the passage is read for the second time,
[25:24.43]you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43
[25:30.99]with the exact words you have just heard.
[25:34.28]For blanks numbered from 44 to 46
[25:38.32]you are required to fill in the missing information.
[25:41.60]For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard
[25:47.18]or write down the main points in your own words.
[25:51.22]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,
[25:55.05]you should check what you have written.
[25:57.92]Now listen to the passage.
[26:01.20]We're now witnessing the emergence of an advanced economy
[26:06.87]based on information and knowledge.
[26:09.27]Physical labor, raw materials, and capital
[26:14.08]are no longer the key ingredients in the creation of wealth.
[26:18.35]Now the vital raw material in our economy is knowledge.
[26:24.15]Tomorrow's wealth depends on the development and exchange of knowledge.
[26:29.83]And individuals entering the work force offer their knowledge not their muscles.
[26:36.51]Knowledge workers get paid for their education and their ability to learn.
[26:42.85]Knowledge workers engage in mind work.
[26:46.79]They dea

l with symbols: words, figures and data.
[26:53.13]What does all this mean for you?
[26:56.84]As a future knowledge worker, you can expect to be generating, processing,
[27:03.74]as well as exchanging information.
[27:07.02]Currently, three out of four jobs involve some form of mind work,
[27:13.80]and that number will increase sharply in the future.
[27:17.84]Management and employees alike will be making decisions
[27:23.65]in such areas as product development, quality control, and customer satisfaction.
[27:29.89]In the new world of work, you can look forward to
[27:35.14]being in constant training to acquire new skills
[27:38.53]that will help you keep up with improved technologies and procedures.
[27:42.90]You can also expect to be taking greater control of your career.
[27:49.14]Gone are the nine-to-five jobs, lifetime security, predictable promotions,
[27:55.91]and even the conventional work place, as you are familiar with.
[28:00.52]Don't expect the companies will provide you with a clearly defined career path.
[28:07.18]And don't wait for someone to empower you. You have to empower yourself.
[28:14.95]Now the passage will be read again.
[28:19.54]We're now witnessing the emergence of an advanced economy
[28:25.34]based on information and knowledge.
[28:28.40]Physical labor, raw materials, and capital
[28:31.43]are no longer the key ingredients in the creation of wealth.
[28:36.68]Now the vital raw material in our economy is knowledge.
[28:42.04]Tomorrow's wealth depends on the development and exchange of knowledge.
[28:47.62]And individuals entering the work force offer their knowledge not their muscles.
[28:54.29]Knowledge workers get paid for their education and their ability to learn.
[28:59.65]Knowledge workers engage in mind work.
[29:03.47]They deal with symbols: words, figures and data.
[29:08.84]What does all this mean for you?
[29:11.24]As a future knowledge worker, you can expect to be generating, processing,
[29:16.82]as well as exchanging information.
[29:19.77]Currently, three out of four jobs involve some form of mind work,
[29:25.85]and that number will increase sharply in the future.
[29:29.25]Management and employees alike will be making decisions
[29:34.17]in such areas as product development, quality control, and customer satisfaction.
[30:51.11]In the new world of work, you can look forward to
[30:55.49]being in constant training to acquire new skills
[30:58.99]that will help you keep up with improved technologies and procedures.
[32:01.83]You can also expect to be taking greater control of your career.
[32:07.96]Gone are the nine-to-five jobs, lifetime security, predictable promotions,
[32:14.52]and even the conventional work place, as you are familiar with.
[32:19.66]Don't expect the companies will provide you with a clearly defined career path.
[33:17.41]And don't wait for someone to empower you. You have to empower yourself.
[33:23.86]Now the passage will be read for the th

ird time.
[33:28.13]We're now witnessing the emergence of an advanced economy
[33:33.83]based on information and knowledge.
[33:36.45]Physical labor, raw materials, and capital
[33:40.83]are no longer the key ingredients in the creation of wealth.
[33:45.32]Now the vital raw material in our economy is knowledge.
[33:51.33]Tomorrow's wealth depends on the development and exchange of knowledge.
[33:56.79]And individuals entering the work force offer their knowledge not their muscles.
[34:03.57]Knowledge workers get paid for their education and their ability to learn.
[34:09.48]Knowledge workers engage in mind work.
[34:13.85]They deal with symbols: words, figures and data.
[34:20.20]What does all this mean for you?
[34:23.81]As a future knowledge worker, you can expect to be generating, processing,
[34:30.81]as well as exchanging information.
[34:34.31]Currently, three out of four jobs involve some form of mind work,
[34:40.65]and that number will increase sharply in the future.
[34:44.70]Management and employees alike will be making decisions
[34:50.72]in such areas as product development, quality control, and customer satisfaction.
[34:57.16]In the new world of work, you can look forward to
[35:02.19]being in constant training to acquire new skills
[35:05.70]that will help you keep up with improved technologies and procedures.
[35:10.18]You can also expect to be taking greater control of your career.
[35:16.19]Gone are the nine-to-five jobs, lifetime security, predictable promotions,
[35:23.09]and even the conventional work place, as you are familiar with.
[35:27.68]Don't expect the companies will provide you with a clearly defined career path.
[35:34.35]And don't wait for someone to empower you. You have to empower yourself.
[35:44.63]This is the end of the listening comprehension.
