第三篇：2013年12月英語四級聽力原文

2013年12月英語四級聽力填空原文 When Captain Cook asked the chiefs in Tahiti why they always ate apart and alone, they replied, “Because it is right.” If we ask Americans why they eat with knives and forks, or why their men wear pants instead of skirts or why they may be married to only one person at a time, we are likely to get similar and very uninformative answers because it’s right, because that’s the way it’s done, because it’s the custom or even I don’t know.The reason for these and countless other patterns of social behavior is that they are controlled by social norms shared rules or guide lines which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation.Norms define how people ought to behave under particular circumstances in a particular society.We conform to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they exist.In fact we are much more likely to notice departures from norms than conformity to them.You will not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced, but you might be a little startled if they bowed, started to stroke you or kissed you on both cheeks.Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate in other parts of the world.When we visit another society whose norms are different, we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.

8.According to Tom, William lost his job not because he was always sick and usually went to work late, but because he made a big error in last month’s accounting and the boss was angry with him.

SECTION BCONVERSATION

SECTION CNEWS BROADCAST

News Item One(17-18)

Haitian hunger strikers at the US labor base at Guantannamo Bay, Cuba, have begun refusing all fluids and medical treatments.15 of the 267 Haitians are at the base.7 are prepared to die, if necessary, to force the US to admit the rest of them.The Haitians are eligible to pursue political asylum in the US, but have been barred from entry because most have the AIDS virus.The Clinton Administration says they would lift the ban on their entry, but it is not known when.

News Item Two(19)

The top three US auto-makers have decided not to proceed with plans to file a trade complaint with Japanese auto-makers.General Motors, Ford and Chrysler had planned to accuse Japanese companies of dumping cars below market prices in the US, but they dropped the idea, citing a pledge by the Clinton Administration to address the US-Japan trade imbalance.

News Item Three(20-21)

About 100 people are now known have died in what has been described as “the worst storm” ever to hit the eastern US this century.The hurricane-force winds first struck the Gulf of Mexico and have now spread across the Canadian border, continuing to bring reckless snowfalls, severe flooding, and causing millions of dollars in damage.All major airports have now reopened and airlines are beginning to cope with a backlog of thousands of stranded passengers.The storm also paralyzed areas of Cuba, where several people were killed, and property and crops destroyed.

News Item Four(22)

France has carried out another underground nuclear test in the South Pacific.It is the fifth in the region since September.The test was conducted at the Moruroa atoll on Wednesday.Paris has

come under strong criticism for its nuclear testing programme, especially from Asia-Pacific countries.A State Department spokeswoman in Washington expressed disappointment at the latest French test.France has promised to sign a global test ban treaty after it completes its current series of nuclear tests in the Pacific.

News Item Five(23)

The association representing British airline pilots says that there is an urgent need to raise levels of air safety throughout the world.In the statement,the association, known as Bobo, warns that unless air safety improves travelers face a perilous future.The association also said that the standard of training must be raised among fly crews and air traffic controllers as the sky has become ever more crowded.

News Item Six(24-25)

The Western European Union, the defense organization linking most countries of the European Community, is meeting in Luxembourg to discuss ways to reinforce economic sanctions against the Serbs by tightening controls on the River Danube.It is expected to approve of a proposal to send patrol boats manned by armed police and customs officers with power to search and turn back ships suspected of breaking the sanctions.International efforts to isolate Serbia have been undermined by ships carrying oil and other illegal supplies from the Black Sea region along the Danube into the former Yugoslavia after ignoring attempts by the local authorities to stop them.It is reported that most of the illegal traffic of goods is believed to be arriving in Serbia over land from Greece and former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonian.

PART Ⅲ LISTENING COMPREHENSION

SECTION A STATEMENT

1．答案：C

【問句譯文】講話者考試做得怎樣？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】解答本題的關(guān)鍵是聽清“I couldn't do the last four...but I did the first five．”這里是說她不會做后面的四個題，但做了前面的五個題，故選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。

2．答案：A

【問句譯文】 Jane認(rèn)為瑞士奶酪怎樣？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】解答本題的關(guān)鍵詞是“no better cheese than Swiss cheese ”，由此可知，Jane認(rèn)為瑞士奶酪是最好的，故選A。

3．答案：D

【問句譯文】John先去了哪兒？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】解答本題的關(guān)鍵是分清做事的先后順序，“Before．．．John had his emergency brake checked and fixed at the service station...”，由此得出John應(yīng)該首先去“the service station”。

【問句譯文】Betty的愿望是什么？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】 解答本題的關(guān)鍵詞有would rather（寧愿......倒愿意......）和send away（解雇，開除，趕走）。故“Betty would rather that her husband didn't send away...”是說“Betty倒寧愿丈夫不解雇那個清潔女工，但她丈夫?qū)夤退！惫蔬x項(xiàng)C為正確答案。

5．答案：A

【問句譯文】Fred花了多少錢買那輛車？

【試題分析】本題為推理題。

【詳細(xì)解答】解答本題的關(guān)鍵是要聽出這是一個虛擬語氣句，“...would have paid twice as mush as he did...if the salesman had insisted...”，意思是說“如果售貨員堅(jiān)持的話，F(xiàn)red寧愿為此付兩倍的價錢。”由此可知，售貨員沒有堅(jiān)持原價，F(xiàn)red只用要價的一半的錢就把車買下了。

6．答案：B

【問句譯文】為何終身教育是有實(shí)際意義的？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】在談到終身教育時，講話者說“Of course there are certain limits but these are not age limits.”由此可知，選項(xiàng)B為正確答案。

7．答案：B

【問句譯文】根據(jù)講話者的觀點(diǎn)，最困難的事是什么？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】解答本題的關(guān)鍵句是“And that is perhaps the most difficult...”，但這里的that指的是上句中的“get away from people”，故本題的正確答案為B。

8．答案：C

【問句譯文】William為何被解雇？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】只要聽清關(guān)鍵句“...because he made a big error...”，就可判斷正確答案為C。 SECTION B CONVERSATION

9．答案：B

【問句譯文】Mark為何拒絕了那份工作？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】當(dāng)女士說到Mark拒絕了那份工作時，男士說“the hours were convenient but he wouldn't have been able to make ends meet．”由此可以看出，Mark嫌這份工作的薪水太低，所以拒絕了。

10．答案：B

【問句譯文】他們認(rèn)為那家餐館如何？

【試題分析】本題為推理題。

【詳細(xì)解答】本題可以從女士的話中推理出答案，她說“Very few small restaurants like this serve good food”，即“很少有像這樣的小餐館能提供好的食物的。”也就是說這餐館的食物可能不好吃，因此答案選B。

11．答案：D 

【問句譯文】Mary說得好的是哪種語言？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】解答本題的關(guān)鍵詞是“fluent in English”，由此判斷Mary說得好的是英語。

【問句譯文】那位女士認(rèn)為John怎樣？

【試題分析】本題為推理題。

【詳細(xì)解答】男士說“John must have been joking when he said that he was going to live in Boston.”他認(rèn)為John說要去波士頓居住是一句玩笑話，女士則說“Don't be so sure”，說明她不同意男士的看法，也就是說她認(rèn)為John或許真的要去波士頓居住，故選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。

13.答案：B

【問句譯文】那位女士應(yīng)該在幾點(diǎn)種之前趕到？

【試題分析】本題為計(jì)算題。

【詳細(xì)解答】已經(jīng)是l0:45，女士還沒有等到公汽，就問身邊的一位男士是否還有公汽，男士回答說“...you've just missed the last one which left 5 minutes ago”，意思是說末班車5分鐘前已離去，由此可以計(jì)算如果女士在10:40趕到，就可以趕上末班車。故答案選B。

14．答案：A

【問句譯文】由對話我們可以知道什么？

【試題分析】本題為細(xì)節(jié)題。

【詳細(xì)解答】女士以為男士病了，男士說“They must have confused me with my brothe Jack．”意思是說“把我和我弟弟Jack搞混了”，由此可知，John并沒生病，生病的是他的弟弟Jack，故答案選A。

15．答案：A

【問句譯文】男士的語氣如何？

【試題分析】本題為推理題。
