W: Well, I’m ambitious.I do hope that my career as a secretary will lead me eventually into management.M: I see.You have foreign languages? W: French and Italian.M: Well, I think the best thing for you to do is do reply a writing to the advertisement.W: Can’t I arrange for an interview now?

M: Well, I’m afraid we must wait until all the applications are in, in writing, and we’ll then decide on the short list.If you are on the short list, of course we should see you.W: Oh, I see.M: I look forward to receiving your application in writing in a day or two.W: Oh, yes, yes, certainly.M: Ok, thank you very much.Goodbye.W: Thank you.Goodbye.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.22.How did the woman get to know about the job vacancy? 23.Why did the woman find the job appealing? 24.What had the woman been doing in Geneva? 25.What was the woman asked to do in the end? Section B Passage One One of the greatest heartbreaks for fire fighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead.Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster.To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire.He displays fire fighters’ equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on.“If you see us,” Velez tells them, “don’t hide!We are not monsters.We have come to rescue you.” Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish.Growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents.Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks.But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives.For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris.In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters? What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez? What do we learn about Pete Gentry? What message is the speaker trying to convey?

Passage Two Some people want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early.I see people pursuing higher paying and increasingly demanding careers to accomplish this goal.They make many personal sacrifices in exchange for income today.The problem is that tomorrow might not come.Even if it all goes according to plan, will you know how to be happy when you are not working if you spend your entire life making money? More importantly, who will be around for you to share your leisure time with? At the other extreme are people who live only for today.Why bother saving when I might not be here tomorrow, they argue.The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all.And most people don't want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living.The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older.You maybe surprise to hear me say that if you must pick an extreme I think it's better to pick the spend-all approach.As long as you don't mind continuing to work, assuming your health allows, you should be OK.At least, you are making use of your money, and hopefully deriving value and pleasure from it.Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake.It may never come.Retirement can be a great time for some people.For others, it is a time of boredom, loneliness and poor health.Why do some people pursue higher paying but demanding careers?

What is the danger facing people who live only for today?

What does the speaker seem to advocate?

Passage Three Imagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion.How fair will that be? Well, it happens everyday to high schoolers.Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves.Even though I’d never steal.Store employees looked at me like I’m some kind of hardened criminal.For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Graben Gore Restaurant to have a hot dog.We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside.A new sign in the window told the story.“No more than two students at a time”.After 15 minutes, we finally got in.But the store manger laid the evil eye on us.I asked him about the new sign, and he said, “You kids are stealing too much stuff.” You kids? Too much stuff? We were not only assumed to be thieves, but brilliant, greedy thieves.The most annoying thing though, is the way employees watched my friends and me.It’s horrible.Once, at a drug store, I was looking around and found a guy standing on a large box, stocking the shelves.He was watching my hands, more than he was watching his own.I showed him that my hands were empty.He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger.How crazy is that!

33.What does the speaker find to be unfair?

34.What measure did the Graben Gore Restaurant take to stop stealing?

35.What happened in a drug store that greatly annoyed the speaker

Section C Writing keeps us in touch with other people.We write to communicate with relatives and friends.We write to preserve our family histories so our children and grandchildren can learn and appreciate their heritage.With computers and Internet connections in so many households, colleges, and businesses, people are e-mailing friends and relatives all the time--or talking to them in writing in online chat rooms.It is cheaper than calling long distance, and a lot more convenient than waiting until Sunday for the telephone rates to drop.Students are e-mailing their professors to receive and discuss their classroom assignments and to submit them.They are e-mailing classmates to discuss and collaborate on homework.They are also sharing information about concerts and sports events, as well as jokes and their philosophies of life.Despite the growing importance of computers, however, there will always be a place and need for the personal letter.A hand-written note to a friend or a family member is the best way to communicate important thoughts.No matter what the content of the message, its real point is, “I want you to know that I care about you.” This writing practice brings rewards that can’t be seen in bank accounts, but only in the success of human relationships

l 11.A)The man should visit the museums.B)She can’t stand the hot weather.C)The beach resort is a good choice.D)She enjoys staying in Washington.答案：D 解析：Woman最后說到I’ll be happy here no matter what the temperature.這表明了她待在這里很愉快，很享受待在華盛頓，故選D。

Section A長對話答案

19.What do we learn about the woman? 【答案】D She was a witness to the crime.【解析】文中男士需要女士描述一下搶劫銀行的人（describe the man who robbed the bank）。選項中B提到了robbery，但是對話中沒有說明女士是受害者（victim）；D選項提到了她目擊了某個犯罪經過，robbery顯然是crime的一種。

20.What did the suspect look like? 【答案】A A tall man with dark hair and a moustache.【解析】原文中提到The man was tall, six foot, and he had dark hair, and he had moustache.，對應選項A。

21.What did the man finally asked the woman to do? 【答案】A Identify the suspect from pictures.【解析】對話結尾處，男士要求女士look at some photographs，很顯然，他的目的是讓女士通過照片來辨別嫌疑人。因此選擇A。

22.How did the woman get to know about the job vacancy? 【答案】A By reading a newspaper ad.【解析】 job vacancy指空缺的職位。在對話一開始，女士就說到她的目的：I’m calling about the job that was in the paper last night.從這句話中可以看出她得知職位信息的來源是the paper last night，對應A選項。

23.Why did the woman find the job appealing? 【答案】B She could work close to her family.【解析】本題關鍵詞是appealing，意為引起興趣的。女士提到她喜歡這份工作的原因是be near to the family.，close是near的同義替換詞，因此選擇B選項。

24.What had the woman been doing in Geneva? 【答案】C Working as a secretary.【解析】女士提到她在日內瓦做了一些secretarial work，也就是選項C中的secretary。雖然她也提到之前在大學學習，但是她取得的學位是a degree in English，而非選項D中的a degree in French.25.What was the woman asked to do in the end? 【答案】C Send in a written application as soon as possible.【解析】對話中女士希望得到面試機會，但是男士要求先要遞交書面申請（reply a writing to the advertisement），并不是所有人都能得到面試機會，因此選擇答案C。Section B第一篇答案 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters? 【解析】D)They mistake the firefighters for monsters.細節題，從開始when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster一句中便可得出因為不熟悉消防人員戴面具的形象，孩子們以為來救援的消防人員是怪獸，所以躲起來。所以選D。其他選項文中都沒有涉及到。What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez? 【解析】B)He often teaches children what to do during a fire.本篇文章大篇幅講的是Eric Velez給社區里的孩子講解消防知識，讓他們熟悉消防人員及消防工具的過程。選項A，put out fire雖然是Eric Velez的工作，但是本文重點不是在其消防員救活這個工作上，C、D選項很容易就可以排除。所以選B。What do we learn about Pete Gentry? 【解析】A)He saved the life of his brother choking on food.細節題，從Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food一句便可得出答案，文章中關于Pete Gentry的主要信息就是他救了噎著食物的弟弟。所以選A。做題時一定要把人名及其所做的事準確對應起來。What message is the speaker trying to convey? 【解析】D)Informative speeches can save lives.主旨題，本文舉了一個大例子，一下小例子來證明教育性的演說有救人性命的好處。雖然在文章最后也列舉了下其他好處，但是主旨還是拯救生命。所以選D。其他幾個選項都主要講細節處，很容易就可以排除。

聽力答案及解析（SecB 第二篇）

聽力文章分析：

本篇聽力講述的是截然不同的兩種生活態度，一種是“make and save a lot of money in order to retire early”，另一種則是“live only for today”，作者在陳述兩種不同態度之后，針對兩種態度給出了自己的看法“it's better to pick the spend-all approach”。本篇聽力不是太難，沒有較難的詞匯，雖然有幾個需要注意的句式，如：“At the other extreme are people who live only for today.Why bother saving? ”等，但是通過上下文也是不難理解的，而且結構也比較清楚，基本上可以分為三部分：兩種不同的態度和作者的觀點，所考察的三道題也上針對了這三個主要的點。由此可見，聽聽力的時候依然首先要從全文來把握，把握文章的要點，在把握要點的基礎上，有重點的去聽一些細節，如與要點相關的原因和后果，以及作者本人對這些事情的看法，遇到與此相關的信號詞或者關鍵詞時就一定要注意重點記憶。

答案及解析： C)To make money for early retirement.本題考察原因，問為什么人們喜歡比較苛求但收入較高的工作，其實聽力一開始就用in order to 給出了原因，即：retire early，所以選C項。

A)They may have to continue to work in old age.本題考察后果，問只為當下而活的人面臨著什么危險，從“The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older.”中可以看出A是正確選項，及在年老時有可能不得不繼續工作。

B)Enjoying yourself while you can.本課考察文章作者的態度，從 “Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake.”中可以看出，作者認為想等到退休后再做自己想做的事情以及和自己喜歡的人在一起可能是一種錯誤，所以選B，即趁著自己還可以的時候要懂得享受生活。

第三篇：2010年12月大學英語四級聽力真題的試題與答案學習啊

學英語簡單嗎？肯定會有許多學生說：“難死了”。

為什么有好多學生對英語的學習都感到頭疼呢？答案只有一個：“不得法?！?英語與漢語一樣都是一種語言，為什么你說漢語會如此流利？那是因為你置身于一個漢語環境中，如果你在倫敦呆上半年，保準說起英語來會非常流利。但很多中學生沒有很好的英語環境，那么你可以自己設置一個英語環境，堅持“多說”、“多聽”、“多讀”、“多寫”，那么你的英語成績肯定會很出色。

一、多“說”。

自己多創造機會與英語教師多講英語，見了同學，尤其是和好朋友在一起時盡量用英語去問候，談心情……這時候你需隨身攜帶一個英漢互譯小詞典，遇到生詞時查一下這些生詞，也不用刻意去記，用的多了，這個單詞自然而然就會記住。千萬別把學英語當成負擔，始終把它當成一件有趣的事情去做。

或許你有機會碰上外國人，你應大膽地上去跟他打招呼，和他談天氣、談風景、談學?！皇莿e問及他的年紀，婚史等私人問題。盡量用一些你學過的詞匯，句子去和他談天說地。不久你會發現與老外聊天要比你與中國人談英語容易的多。因為他和你交談時會用許多簡單詞匯，而且不太看重說法，你只要發音準確，準能順利地交流下去。只是你必須要有信心，敢于表達自己的思想。

如果沒有合適的伙伴也沒關系，你可以拿過一本書或其它什么東西做假想對象，對它談你一天的所見所聞，談你的快樂，你的悲傷等等，長此堅持下去你的口語肯定會有較大的提高。

二、多“聽”

尋找一切可以聽英語的機會。別人用英語交談時，你應該大膽地去參與，多聽聽各種各樣人的發音，男女老少，節奏快的慢的你都應該接觸到，如果這樣的機會少的話，你可以選擇你不知內容的文章去聽，這將會對你幫助很大，而你去聽學過的課文的磁帶，那將會對你的語言語調的學習有很大的幫助。

三、多“讀”。

“讀”可以分為兩種。一種是“默讀”。每天給予一定時間的練習將會對你提高閱讀速度有很大的好處，讀的內容可以是你的課本，但最好是一些有趣的小讀物，因為現在的英語高考越來越重視閱讀量和閱讀速度。每道題的得分都與你的理解程度有很大關系，所以經過高中三年閱讀的訓練后，你必定會在高考中勝券在握。另一種是“朗讀”這是學語言必不可少的一種學習途徑。

四、多“寫”

有的同學總是抱怨時間緊，根本沒時間寫作文。其實“寫”的形式很多，不一定就寫作文才提高寫作能力。比如寫下你一天中發生的一些重要的事情，或當天學了某一個詞組，你可以創設一個語境恰如其份地用上這個詞。這樣即可幫你記住這個詞的用法，又可以鍛煉你的寫作能力，比如學“wish”一詞時，可寫一小段如下：

The teacher often asks us what we want to be in the future.My good friend Tom wishes to be a soldier.However,I'm different.I wish I were a teacher in the future.But my mother wishes me to be a doctor.只幾句話：但wish的幾種用法已躍然紙上，這樣寫下來印象會深刻得多，這樣比死記硬背wish的用法也有趣輕松的多。

學習英語不用花大塊的時間，10分鐘的散步可以練“說”,吃完飯后可以讀一會兒英語小說，睡前聽幾分鐘英語，可以使你得到更好地休息……只要你每天抽出一些時間來練英語，你的英語成績肯定會很快提高的。

背英語單詞技巧

1、循環記憶法

艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線

人的大腦是一個記憶的寶庫，人腦經歷過的事物，思考過的問題，體驗過的情感和情緒，練習過的動作，都可以成為人們記憶的內容。例如英文的學習中單詞、短語和句子，甚至文章的內容都是通過記憶完成的。從“記”到“憶”是有個過程的，這其中包括了識記、保持、再認和回憶。有很多 人在學習英語的過程中，只注重了學習當時的記憶效果，孰不知，要想做好學習的記憶工作，是要下一番工夫的，單純的注重當時的記憶效果，而忽視了后期的保持和再認同樣是達不到良好的效果的。

在信息的處理上，記憶是對輸入信息的編碼、貯存和提取的過程，從信息處理的角度上，英文的第一次學習和背誦只是一個輸入編碼的過程。人的記憶的能力從生理上講是十分驚人的，它可以存貯1015比特(byte，字節)的信息，可是每個人的記憶寶庫被挖掘的只占10%，還有更多的記憶發揮空間。這是因為，有些人只關注了記憶的當時效果，卻忽視了記憶中的更大的問題--即記憶的牢固度問題，那就牽涉到心理學中常說的關于記憶遺忘的規律。

一、艾賓浩斯記憶規律曲線解釋

德國有一位著名的心理學家名叫艾賓浩斯(Hermann Ebbinghaus，1850-1909)，他在1885年發表了他的實驗報告后，記憶研究就成了心理學中被研究最多的領域之一，而艾賓浩斯正是發現記憶遺忘規律的第一人。

根據我們所知道的，記憶的保持在時間上是不同的，有短時的記憶和長時的記憶兩種。而我們平時的記憶的過程是這樣的：

輸入的信息在經過人的注意過程的學習后，便成為了人的短時的記憶，但是如果不經過及時的復習，這些記住過的東西就會遺忘，而經過了及時的復習，這些短時的記憶就會成為了人的一種長時的記憶，從而在大腦中保持著很長的時間。那么，對于我們來講，怎樣才叫做遺忘呢，所謂遺忘就是我們對于曾經記憶過的東西不能再認起來，也不能回憶起來，或者是錯誤的再認和錯誤的回憶，這些都是遺忘。艾賓浩斯在做這個實驗的時候是拿自己作為測試對象的，他得出了一些關于記憶的結論。他選用了一些根本沒有意義的音節，也就是那些不能拼出單詞來的眾多字母的組合，比如asww，cfhhj，ijikmb，rfyjbc等等。他經過對自己的測試，得到了一些數據。

然后，艾賓浩斯又根據了這些點描繪出了一條曲線，這就是非常有名的揭示遺忘規律的曲線：艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線，圖中豎軸表示學習中記住的知識數量，橫軸表示時間(天數)，曲線表示記憶量變化的規律。

這條曲線告訴人們在學習中的遺忘是有規律的，遺忘的進程不是均衡的，不是固定的一天丟掉幾個，轉天又丟幾個的，而是在記憶的最初階段遺忘的速度很快，后來就逐漸減慢了，到了相當長的時候后，幾乎就不再遺忘了，這就是遺忘的發展規律，即“先快后慢”的原則。觀察這條遺忘曲線，你會發現,學得的知識在一天后，如不抓緊復習,就只剩下原來的25%)。隨著時間的推移,遺忘的速度減慢，遺忘的數量也就減少。有人做過一個實驗，兩組學生學習一段課文，甲組在學習后不久進行一次復習，乙組不予復習，一天后甲組保持98%，乙組保持56%；一周后甲組保持83%，乙組保持33%。乙組的遺忘平均值比甲組高。

二、不同性質材料有不同的遺忘曲線

而且，艾賓浩斯還在關于記憶的實驗中發現，記住12個無意義音節，平均需要重復16.5次；為了記住36個無意義章節，需重復54次；而記憶六首詩中的480個音節，平均只需要重復8次！這個實驗告訴我們，凡是理解了的知識，就能記得迅速、全面而牢固。不然，愣是死記硬背，那也是費力不討好的。因此，比較容易記憶的是那些有意義的材料，而那些無意義的材料在記憶的時候比較費力氣，在以后回憶起來的時候也很不輕松。因此，艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線是關于遺忘的一種曲線，而且是對無意義的音節而言，對于與其他材料的對比，艾賓浩斯又得出了不同性質材料的不同遺忘曲線，不過他們大體上都是一致的。

因此，艾賓浩斯的實驗向我們充分證實了一個道理，學習要勤于復習，而且記憶的理解效果越好，遺忘的也越慢。

三、不同的人有不同的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線--個性化的艾賓浩斯

上述的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線是艾賓浩斯在實驗室中經過了大量測試后，產生了不同的記憶數據，從而生成的一種曲線，是一個具有共性的群體規律。此記憶曲線并不考慮接受試驗個人的個性特點，而是尋求一種處于平衡點的記憶規律。

但是記憶規律可以具體到我們每個人，因為我們的生理特點、生活經歷不同，可能導致我們有不同的記憶習慣、記憶方式、記憶特點。規律對于自然人改造世界的行為，只能起一個催化的作用，如果與每個人的記憶特點相吻合，那么就如順水揚帆，一日千里；如果與個人記憶特點相悖，記憶效果則會大打折扣。因此，我們要根據每個人的不同特點，尋找到屬于自己的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線

英語學習作為一門語言技能，通過大量的訓練和練習任何人是可以掌握的。一般地說，英語學習的原則是聽、說領先，讀、寫跟上。李揚的瘋狂英語提倡，首先建立起我能學好英語的信心，然后以句子為單位，大量地模仿，瘋狂地操練，大聲地朗讀，最后達到自如地說英語，他的方法對提高說英語的能力很奏效。鐘道隆教授45歲開始學英語，一年后，學成出國當口語翻譯，并創造了逆苦惱、逆急于求成、逆速成的逆向學習英語的方法。他還提出學習英語要遵循聽、寫、說、背、想的方法，他的方法強調以聽為主，并且把所聽到的內容全部寫下來。尤其是他的學習精神最可佳，他學習英語用壞了十幾臺錄音機，你可想象他聽了多少英語；用完的圓珠筆芯幾乎裝滿了一個一拉罐，你可想象他寫了多少，在一年半內，累計業余學習英語時間大約三千小時，也就說每天抽出幾個小時來學英語。如果我們做到他那樣，一定也能學好英語。最重要的是堅持，只要能下定決心，堅持每天至少一個小時的學習英語，戰勝自我最后肯定會有收獲的。

注意方法，循序漸進 決心下定，還注意學習方法，有時根據自己的情況和不同的學習目的，選擇不同的學習方法，但是學習英語一定要踏踏實實地、一步一個腳印地走。要把基礎知識掌握好，也就是說，發音要正確、基本詞匯要掌握牢、基本句式要熟練、基本語法要會用。

（1）要過好語音關。把每一個音標發正確，注意改正有問題的音素，特別是那些容易混淆的音素，盡早地掌握國際音標，并盡量的掌握一些讀音規則，盡快地能利用讀音規則來拼單詞，掌握讀音規則對單詞的記憶和拼寫非常有用。

（2）掌握一定數量的英語單詞。對于學習者來說掌握英語詞匯是一難關，學習單詞要從單詞的形、音、義這三方面去掌握，要注意單詞的一詞多義，一詞多類的用法，要學會一些構詞法的知識，來擴展詞匯量。學習單詞要在語言材料中去學，要結合詞組，通過句子，閱讀文章來活記單詞，死記的單詞是記不牢的。堅持在讀、說前，先反復聽，聽的時候反應單詞、句子的意思和節奏，想一下單詞的拼法、句子結構。并要同學習語法規則有機結合起來進行。

（3）掌握好基本語法。語法在學習英語中也很重要，它能幫助我們把握住英語的基本規律，通過例句或語言現象把死的語法規則要記住，活的規則要通過做大量的練習掌握。總之學習英語要通過聽、說、讀、寫、譯來進行操練，不但要注意數量，更重要的是要注意質量，尤其是基本知識要掌握的準確，熟練。只有經過大量的實踐，才能做到熟能生巧，運用自如。

提前預習，有的放矢

作為學生，在每次上課前，都要對要學的課文提前預習。首先在音標的幫助下試著拼讀單詞，也可以借助配套磁帶反復聽，對比一下，把握不準的要標出來，注意上課老師的發音，還要記一下單詞的漢語意思和詞性。借助課文的注釋或輔導材料，預習一遍課文，找出不明白的地方，做到心中有數，在教師講課時注意聽這些地方?？傊A習的目的是熟悉要學的內容，找出不明白的地方，帶著問題聽課，做到有的放矢。

認真聽課，積極配合

課堂是老師與學生一起學習、掌握、運用知識的主要場所。作為起主導作用的老師一方引導學生搞好課堂教學是很必要的，但也需要學習者的積極配合。上課要專心聽講、作好筆記、認真操練、積極思考。預習時出現的問題在課堂上教師沒有講到的，要向老師提出，把問題搞清楚，老師講授的問題，先注意聽，下課后整理一下筆記，反復思考一下這些問題，抓住老師所講的重點，難點和考點?？傊?，上課時要做到耳聽、眼觀、嘴動、腦想，調動起多個感官來。

完成作業，找出問題

學完每一課，要認真完成課后作業。做作業時一定不要看參考書上題的答案，做完后再對答案，對于作業中所出現的不明白的問題，應該記下來，等下次上課時提出來。做作業是英語學習的很重要的環節，它是消化知識和鞏固知識的過程，一定要認真完成規定的作業，筆頭作業要動一動筆，口頭作業要動一動嘴，提高聽力要練一練耳，課文在聽和讀的基礎上，最好背誦某些精彩段落?？傊?，要做大量的練習，英語是練出來的，一定不要偷懶。

及時復習，鞏固知識

學會了的東西隨著時間的流逝會逐漸遺忘，但學語言有遺忘現象是正常的。更不必因為有遺忘現象而影響自己學好英語的信心與決心。問題在于怎樣來減輕遺忘的程度。善于類比，總結知識，把新學的知識同過去學的有關的知識進行橫向和縱向比較和聯系。建立錯誤檔案記錄，加深印象，以避免再反同樣錯誤。我們大部分知識和技能是靠重復獲得的，及時復習對于記憶非常必要，學英語就是要堅持天天不斷的練，不斷地重復基本句型，常用詞匯和基本語法等。學習英語的過程也是同遺忘做斗爭的過程。

總而言之，只要你能做到下定決心學，注意學習方法，把課前預習，認真聽課，完成作業，及時復習這些環節作好了，你一定能夠學好英語

Section B Passage One One of the greatest heartbreaks for fire fighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead.Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster.To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire.He displays fire fighters’ equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on.“If you see us,” Velez tells them, “don’t hide!We are not monsters.We have come to rescue you.” Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish.Growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents.Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks.But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives.For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris.In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters? What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez? What do we learn about Pete Gentry? What message is the speaker trying to convey?

Passage Two Some people want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early.I see people pursuing higher paying and increasingly demanding careers to accomplish this goal.They make many personal sacrifices in exchange for income today.The problem is that tomorrow might not come.Even if it all goes according to plan, will you know how to be happy when you are not working if you spend your entire life making money? More importantly, who will be around for you to share your leisure time with? At the other extreme are people who live only for today.Why bother saving when I might not be here tomorrow, they argue.The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all.And most people don't want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living.The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older.You maybe surprise to hear me say that if you must pick an extreme I think it's better to pick the spend-all approach.As long as you don't mind continuing to work, assuming your health allows, you should be OK.At least, you are making use of your money, and hopefully deriving value and pleasure from it.Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake.It may never come.Retirement can be a great time for some people.For others, it is a time of boredom, loneliness and poor health.Why do some people pursue higher paying but demanding careers?

What is the danger facing people who live only for today?

What does the speaker seem to advocate?

Passage Three Imagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion.How fair will that be? Well, it happens everyday to high schoolers.Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves.Even though I’d never steal.Store employees looked at me like I’m some kind of hardened criminal.For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Graben Gore Restaurant to have a hot dog.We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside.A new sign in the window told the story.“No more than two students at a time”.After 15 minutes, we finally got in.But the store manger laid the evil eye on us.I asked him about the new sign, and he said, “You kids are stealing too much stuff.” You kids? Too much stuff? We were not only assumed to be thieves, but brilliant, greedy thieves.The most annoying thing though, is the way employees watched my friends and me.It’s horrible.Once, at a drug store, I was looking around and found a guy standing on a large box, stocking the shelves.He was watching my hands, more than he was watching his own.I showed him that my hands were empty.He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger.How crazy is that!

33.What does the speaker find to be unfair?

34.What measure did the Graben Gore Restaurant take to stop stealing?

35.What happened in a drug store that greatly annoyed the speaker

Section C Writing keeps us in touch with other people.We write to communicate with relatives and friends.We write to preserve our family histories so our children and grandchildren can learn and appreciate their heritage.With computers and Internet connections in so many households, colleges, and businesses, people are e-mailing friends and relatives all the time--or talking to them in writing in online chat rooms.It is cheaper than calling long distance, and a lot more convenient than waiting until Sunday for the telephone rates to drop.Students are e-mailing their professors to receive and discuss their classroom assignments and to submit them.They are e-mailing classmates to discuss and collaborate on homework.They are also sharing information about concerts and sports events, as well as jokes and their philosophies of life.Despite the growing importance of computers, however, there will always be a place and need for the personal letter.A hand-written note to a friend or a family member is the best way to communicate important thoughts.No matter what the content of the message, its real point is, “I want you to know that I care about you.” This writing practice brings rewards that can’t be seen in bank accounts, but only in the success of human relationships

l 11.A)The man should visit the museums.B)She can’t stand the hot weather.C)The beach resort is a good choice.D)She enjoys staying in Washington.答案：D 解析：Woman最后說到I’ll be happy here no matter what the temperature.這表明了她待在這里很愉快，很享受待在華盛頓，故選D。

15.A)The woman knows how to deal with the police.B)The woman had been fined many times before.C)The woman had violated traffic regulations.D)The woman is good at finding excuses.答案：C 解析：警察開頭問到 Why didn’t you stop when we first signaled you at the crossroads? 通過這句話就可以知道女士沒有遵守交通規則，故選C。

Section A長對話答案

19.What do we learn about the woman? 【答案】D She was a witness to the crime.【解析】文中男士需要女士描述一下搶劫銀行的人（describe the man who robbed the bank）。選項中B提到了robbery，但是對話中沒有說明女士是受害者（victim）；D選項提到了她目擊了某個犯罪經過，robbery顯然是crime的一種。

20.What did the suspect look like? 【答案】A A tall man with dark hair and a moustache.【解析】原文中提到The man was tall, six foot, and he had dark hair, and he had moustache.，對應選項A。

21.What did the man finally asked the woman to do? 【答案】A Identify the suspect from pictures.【解析】對話結尾處，男士要求女士look at some photographs，很顯然，他的目的是讓女士通過照片來辨別嫌疑人。因此選擇A。

22.How did the woman get to know about the job vacancy? 【答案】A By reading a newspaper ad.【解析】 job vacancy指空缺的職位。在對話一開始，女士就說到她的目的：I’m calling about the job that was in the paper last night.從這句話中可以看出她得知職位信息的來源是the paper last night，對應A選項。

23.Why did the woman find the job appealing? 【答案】B She could work close to her family.【解析】本題關鍵詞是appealing，意為引起興趣的。女士提到她喜歡這份工作的原因是be near to the family.，close是near的同義替換詞，因此選擇B選項。

24.What had the woman been doing in Geneva? 【答案】C Working as a secretary.【解析】女士提到她在日內瓦做了一些secretarial work，也就是選項C中的secretary。雖然她也提到之前在大學學習，但是她取得的學位是a degree in English，而非選項D中的a degree in French.25.What was the woman asked to do in the end? 【答案】C Send in a written application as soon as possible.【解析】對話中女士希望得到面試機會，但是男士要求先要遞交書面申請（reply a writing to the advertisement），并不是所有人都能得到面試機會，因此選擇答案C。Section B第一篇答案 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters? 【解析】D)They mistake the firefighters for monsters.細節題，從開始when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster一句中便可得出因為不熟悉消防人員戴面具的形象，孩子們以為來救援的消防人員是怪獸，所以躲起來。所以選D。其他選項文中都沒有涉及到。What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez? 【解析】B)He often teaches children what to do during a fire.本篇文章大篇幅講的是Eric Velez給社區里的孩子講解消防知識，讓他們熟悉消防人員及消防工具的過程。選項A，put out fire雖然是Eric Velez的工作，但是本文重點不是在其消防員救活這個工作上，C、D選項很容易就可以排除。所以選B。What do we learn about Pete Gentry? 【解析】A)He saved the life of his brother choking on food.細節題，從Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food一句便可得出答案，文章中關于Pete Gentry的主要信息就是他救了噎著食物的弟弟。所以選A。做題時一定要把人名及其所做的事準確對應起來。What message is the speaker trying to convey? 【解析】D)Informative speeches can save lives.主旨題，本文舉了一個大例子，一下小例子來證明教育性的演說有救人性命的好處。雖然在文章最后也列舉了下其他好處，但是主旨還是拯救生命。所以選D。其他幾個選項都主要講細節處，很容易就可以排除。

聽力答案及解析（SecB 第二篇）

聽力文章分析：

本篇聽力講述的是截然不同的兩種生活態度，一種是“make and save a lot of money in order to retire early”，另一種則是“live only for today”，作者在陳述兩種不同態度之后，針對兩種態度給出了自己的看法“it's better to pick the spend-all approach”。本篇聽力不是太難，沒有較難的詞匯，雖然有幾個需要注意的句式，如：“At the other extreme are people who live only for today.Why bother saving? ”等，但是通過上下文也是不難理解的，而且結構也比較清楚，基本上可以分為三部分：兩種不同的態度和作者的觀點，所考察的三道題也上針對了這三個主要的點。由此可見，聽聽力的時候依然首先要從全文來把握，把握文章的要點，在把握要點的基礎上，有重點的去聽一些細節，如與要點相關的原因和后果，以及作者本人對這些事情的看法，遇到與此相關的信號詞或者關鍵詞時就一定要注意重點記憶。

答案及解析： C)To make money for early retirement.本題考察原因，問為什么人們喜歡比較苛求但收入較高的工作，其實聽力一開始就用in order to 給出了原因，即：retire early，所以選C項。

A)They may have to continue to work in old age.本題考察后果，問只為當下而活的人面臨著什么危險，從“The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older.”中可以看出A是正確選項，及在年老時有可能不得不繼續工作。

B)Enjoying yourself while you can.本課考察文章作者的態度，從 “Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake.”中可以看出，作者認為想等到退休后再做自己想做的事情以及和自己喜歡的人在一起可能是一種錯誤，所以選B，即趁著自己還可以的時候要懂得享受生活。

Section B Passage One

Members of the city council and distinguished guests, it is my privilege to introduce to you today Mr.Robert Washington, chief of our city’s police force.He will address us on the subject of the Community Policing Program.Most of you know that Mr.Washington has a distinguished record as head of our police force for more than ten years.However, you may not know that he also holds a master’s degree in criminology and studied abroad for a year with the international police force which deals with crimes around the world.Mr.Washington first introduced the Community Policing Program 8 years ago.The idea behind the program is to get the police officers out of their cars and into our neighborhoods where they can talk directly to merchants and residents about the real dynamics of our city.These officers do more than make arrests.They try to find ways to help solve the problems that contribute to crime in the first place.Often that means hooking people up with services offered by other city agencies, such as schools, hospitals, housing, drug treatment centers.And the program seems to be working: crime is down and our citizens report that they feel more secure.Today Mr.Washington is going to tell us more about this program.Now let’s welcome Mr.Robert Washington.26.What is the purpose of the speaker’s remarks?

He will address us on the subject of community policing program.27.What does the speaker say about Mr.Robert Washington?

Most of you know that Mr.Washington has a distinguished record as head of our police force for more than ten years.However, you may not know that he also holds a master’s degree in criminology and studied abroad for a year with the international police force which deals with crimes around the world.Mr.Washington first introduced the community policing program 8 years ago.28.What is the idea behind the Community Policing Program?

The idea behind the program is to get the police officers out of their cars and into our neighborhoods where they can talk directly to merchants and residents about the real dynamics of our city.29.How has the Community Policing Program turned out to be?

And the program seems to be working, crime is down and our citizens report that they feel more secure.Passage Two

There are between 3000 and 6000 public languages in the world, and we must add approximately 6 billion private languages since each one of us necessarily has one.Considering these facts, the possibilities for breakdowns in communication seem infinite in number.However, we do communicate successfully from time to time.And we do learn to speak languages.But learning to speak languages seems to be a very mysterious process.For a long time, people thought that we learned a language only by imitation and association.For example, a baby touches a hot pot and starts to cry.The mother says, “Hot, hot!” And the baby, when it stops crying, imitates the mother and says, “Hot, hot!” However, Noam Chomsky, a famous expert in language, pointed out that although children do learn some words by imitation and association, they also combine words to make meaningful sentences in ways that are unique, unlearned and creative.Because young children can make sentences they have never heard before, Chomsky suggested that human infants are born with the ability to learn language.Chomsky meant that underneath all the differences between public and private languages, there is a universal language mechanism that makes it possible for us, as infants, to learn any language in the world.This theory explains the potential that human infants have for learning language.But it does not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 30.Why does the speaker say there are great possibilities for communication breakdowns?

There are numerous public and private languages.Question 31.What is Chomsky’s point on the ability to learn a language?

Human infants are born with the ability to learn language and the potential to learn any language in the world.Question 32.What does Chomsky’s theory fail to explain according to the speaker?

It does not really explain how children come to use language in particular ways.Passage Three

When US spacewoman Joan Higginbotham is not flying and working in space, she might be found somewhere on earth giving a speech.Higginbotham, who grew up in Chicago and became an engineer before joining NASA, that is the National Air and Space Administration, gives about a dozen speeches a year.Each speech is different because she tailors her remarks to each audience.Through interviews and E-mails, she finds out in advance her listeners' educational level and what information they want to know.On the subject of space walks, for example, audiences vary in their interests and how much complexity they can comprehend.To elementary school children, Higginbotham may discuss a problem that many kids want to know about.“How do spacemen in a spacesuit eat, drink, and go to the bathroom?” Her answer is “the spacesuit is really a small spacecraft with room for food and water-containers, and a waste-collection system.” To a high school audience, she might satisfy a curiosity that often arises in her pre-speech interviews with students who obviously have seen many science fiction movies.“Do spacemen carry weapons in case they encounter enemies in space?” Her answer is “No”.To scientists, she might provide technical details on such topics as the design of spacesuits that protects spacemen from the deadly temperature extremes of space.Just as elaborate preparation is required for success in space, Higginbotham says that it’s important for speakers to learn as much as possible about their listeners before a speech because every audience is different.33.What did Joan Higginbotham do before joining in NASA?

34.How does Higginbotham prepare her speech on space walks?

35.What does the high school audience want to know about space travel?

Section C Compound Dictation:

Crime is increasing worldwide.There is every reason to believe the trend will continue through the next few decades.Crime rates have always been high in multi-cultural industrialized societies such as the United States.But a new phenomenon has appeared on the world scene: rapidly rising crime rates in nations that previously reported few offences.Street crimes such as robbery, rape, murder and auto theft are clearly rising, particularly in Eastern European countries, such as Hungary, and in Western European nations, such as the Untied Kingdom.What is driving this crime explosion? There are no simple answers.Still, there are certain conditions associated with rising crime.Increasing heterogeneity of population, greater cultural pluralism, higher immigration, democratization of governments, changing national borders, greater economic growth and the lack of accepted social ideas of right and wrong.These conditions are increasingly observable around the world.For instance, cultures that were previously isolated and homogenous, such as Japan, Denmark and Greece, are now facing the sort of cultural variety that has been common in America for most of its history.Multiculturalism can be a rewarding, enriching experience, but it can also lead to a clash of values.Heterogeneity in societies will be the rule in the 21st century, and failure to recognize and plan for such diversity can lead to serious crime problems.

Section B Passage One Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages.At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions.Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choice marked A), B), C)and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage One My father woke me up early one morning when I was fourteen and announced: “Get up!You’re going with me to cut grass.” I felt proud and excited because my father thought I was responsible enough to help him in his business.Still that first day was really hard.From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I cut and trimmed very large yards in a well-to-do part of the city.By the end of the day I was exhausted but I felt food.I had put in a hard day’s labor and had earned six dollars.One day my father spotted some weeds I had missed cutting and pulled me aside.“Get that section again,” he said firmly.“Don’t let me have to tell you to do the job right the first time.” In every job I have held，from cutting lawns to washing dishes to working a machine in a construction site, I have learnt something that help me in my next job.If you look hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.Passage Two I live in a small village in the country.My wife and I run the village shop.We have a very peaceful life.“Boring ”, some might say.But we love it.We know all the people in the village and have plenty of time to stop and chat.I have plenty of time for my hobbies too, gardening, fishing, and walking in the countryside.I love the outdoor life.It wasn’t always like this though.I used to have a really stress job, working till late in the office every evening and often bringing work home at the weekend.The advertising world is very competitive and when I look back, I can’t imagine how I stayed it.I had no private life at all, no time for the really important things in life.Because of the pressure of the job I used to smoke and drink too much.The crisis came when my wife left me.She complained that she never saw me and I had no time for family life.This made me realize what was really important to me.I talked things through with her and decided to get back together again and started a new and better life together.I gave up tobacco and alcohol, and searched for new hobbies.Now I am afraid looking back since the past life seemed a horrible dream.Passage Three “Where is the university” is the question many visitors to Cambridge asked, but no one could point them in any one direction because there is no campus.The university consists of thirty-one self-governing colleges.It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city.Individual colleges choose their own students who have to meet the minimum entrance requirements set by the university.Undergraduates usually live and study in their colleges where they are taught in very small groups.Lectures and laboratory and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings.There are over 10,000 undergraduates and 3,500 post-graduates, about 40% of them are women and some 8% from overseas.As well as teaching, research is of major importance.Since the beginning of the 20th century, more than 60 university members have won Nobel Prizes.University has a huge number of buildings for teaching and research.It has more than 60 specialist subject libraries as well as the university library, which, as a copyright library, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain.Examinations are set and degrees are awarded by the university.It allowed women to take the university exams in 1881, but it was not until 1948 that they were awarded degrees.
