第一篇：2012專四聽力 答案 dictation

Nowadays, many of us try to live in a way that will damage the environment as little as possible．We recycle our newspapers and bottles, we take public transport to get to work, we try to buy locally produced fruit and vegetables，and we want to take these attitudes on holiday with us．This is why alternative forms of tourism are becoming popular in the world．There are a lot of names for these new forms of tourism: responsible tourism, nature tourism, adventure tourism, educational tourism and more．Although everyone may have a different definition, most people agree that these new forms of tourism should do the following: first, they should conserve the wildlife and culture of the area;second, they should benefit the local people;third, they should make a profit without destroying natural resources;and finally they should provide an experience that tourists want to pay for．

專四聽力練習聽懂英語新聞的十個方法

(一)專四聽力練習要盡量先以自己熟悉的語言了解新聞內容

同樣的，在進行當天的英文新聞學習前，先從中文的媒體了解當天主要的國際或國內新聞內容，在聽英文新聞時，就容易多了。當然，這是在學習期間，過了入門的階段，就不需要了。

(二)掌握各類新聞的有限單字

世界之廣，事件之多，大部分的人一定認為，要掌握新聞英語的相關單字，恐怕好幾千個，要背完一整本的新聞字庫，才有辦法聽懂。這個想法似乎很合邏輯，但是其實有個極大的錯誤，從政治新聞到娛樂新聞，當然很可能有幾千個單字，但是相關的單字每幾個月，甚至每幾年才出現一次，就是所謂的rarely used vocabulary(罕見單字)，例如：multilateral currency realignment(跨國貨幣調整)或planned obsolescence(計劃的陳廢)，如果連這些也要背，那可真是不得了。

幸好，每天新聞會遇到的單字，八成五以上，都是我們稱為的commonly used vocabulary(常用單字)。換言之，只要你能掌握這五、六百個重復出現的單字(也就是本書所介紹的字匯)，就可以聽懂八成五以上的新聞。其它一些較專門的財經或科學等新聞字匯，等主要的單字會了之后，再慢慢的增加難度。

(三)遇到聽不懂的地方不要去想它，繼續聽下去

你一定有個經驗，在聽英語新聞或英語節目時，遇到一個你不會的字或沒聽清楚的段落，就開始想它的意思，往往造成接下來的內容全都沒聽清楚。所謂“一心不能二用”，絕不可以在聽的同時，邊想前一句的意思，要養成一個習慣，那就是遇到不太懂的地方不要停下來思考，專心聽下去。

某個段落沒聽懂，可能的原因有幾個，也許有個沒學過的單字，或有較特殊的句型，也許主播播報的速度一時加快，甚至自己分心沒聽好。無論原因是什幺，不管它就繼續聽下去，還是有可能將主要內容聽懂，因為九成的時候，漏掉一點，不會是關鍵到讓你無法連接下面的意思，但是如果思惟卡在前一句，肯定全軍覆沒。

但如果另外那一成確實是關鍵呢?要是有空，可以上網找相關內容的新聞，了解一下是否有關鍵單字或內容較不熟悉，如果是重要新聞，一般來講不會報一次就不報了，可以收聽當天其它整點新聞的播報，也許還可以聽到同樣的新聞，也許聽第二次就完全了解了!(四)不要太在乎特殊難懂的人名及地名

2000 年初夏，裴濟發生政變，沒多久就宣布戒嚴令，軍方的領導人，頭銜連姓名叫“Fiji military commander Commodore Frank Bainimarama”，遇到這樣的狀況時，該怎么辦呢?別理它吧!說實話，這些多半時候對了解新聞內容并不影響，我只要知道他是某國的國會領導人就夠了。再如俄羅斯南部某個難念的小城鎮發生什幺事，清楚它他是俄羅斯南部的小城鎮，足夠我了解新聞內容。你也可以試試這種方法，不要為復雜的名稱所困擾。當然，重要的新聞人物及地名還是得熟悉一下。

(五)以正確的播報速度來學習

專業的播音員錄制在CD 片上的新聞都是以正常的速度播報，因為這樣才能真正的學會新聞英語，如果聽不太懂，多聽幾次，一定大有進展。但是，如果用一些速度放慢的教材，那只能永遠聽教材，真正新聞的速度會跟不上。

(六)盡快鎖定大略的新聞內容

不知你是否注意過，聽英語新聞時，主播經常會在報某條新聞前，來句類似And now in sports.....(現在進入體育新聞)，或Turning to the Middle East.....(轉向中東地區.....)或In U.S.election race news.....(有關美國選舉新聞.....)等，沒有一定格式或說法，這樣短短的一句，就是要讓不同類型新聞的轉變自然些。

當然，不是每條新聞前都會給你這樣的提示，要是沒有，自己也得趕快鎖定內容及方向，如果看電視新聞的話，可以試著從畫面了解是哪一類的新聞;若是廣播的話，也應該從第一句就可以判斷。

(七)經常聽，經常練習

或許你會認為這幺簡單的道理不用說也知道，但是你會發現，最簡單的道理也是最重要的。

(八)雖然要“聽”新聞，正確的“說”也很重要

本文的目的，是讓你打好收聽新聞英語的基礎，做個一流的“聽眾”，但聽力再怎幺好的中國人，不會自己想做英語主播，所以為什么要管發音呢?其實，這個道理是很簡單，如果自己對某一個新聞單字的發音不對，很可能會聽不懂，例如唱片或記錄叫record，錄音也叫record，但是前者念 ﹝record﹞，后者念﹝record﹞，如果認為這個字只有一個發音，很可能就會弄混。

有時候也很容易將兩個不同單字的發音弄混，例如：Philadelphia battered Chicago，winning 14 to 1.(費城擊敗芝加哥，以 14 比 1 贏球。)如果這句的battered聽成batted，雖然發音接近，但意思就不對了。

避免這方面問題最好的方法，就是聽書所附的 CD 時，單字的部分自己也跟著念。如果花一點時間確定自己的發音是否正確，對聽懂新聞英語也會有幫助。

(九)了解學習新聞英語的過程及進步的速度

學習任何東西，尤其是語言，就像滾雪球一樣，愈滾愈大，到了某個階段，學習的速度會自然而然的加快。學習新聞英語的起步階段，也許經常覺得聽不懂，但是繼續努力，不知不覺會發現，費的精神較少，但聽得懂的部分變多了。

為何了解這個過程是訣竅之一呢?因為很多人還不到“半途”就以為自己學不會，但是其實只要有恒心，絕對可以有令人非常滿意的成果。

(十)對自己有信心

一定有人說，講這個誰都知道，但不少人對自己卻是沒有信心或信心缺乏，而對自己學習的進度及成果大打折扣。英文有句話：We are our own worst enemy.(最大的敵人，便是自己)，雖然學新聞英語一點都不難，但如果心里想：“我一定學不會”，還沒有開始奮戰，已經被自己打敗了，要突破自己設下的心里障礙，專四聽力練習比實際學習的障礙還更困難。

Questions II to 13 are based on the following passage.Love can be seen everywhere.Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less

scientific research than other emotions , such as anger and fear.The reason for this is

twofold.(11)First, love is a very complex emotion, difficult to describe and measure.Secondly, extreme love ia generally not a problem;thus less medical attention has been

paid to it.Love is an enduring, strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or

thing.(12)But it also involves feelings of caring, protection, excitement, and

tenderness.Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: ”puppy“

love, romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth.Though they differ in some respects,they share one important characteristic: a strong positive feeling toward another.Our

feelings toward other people are often complex.(12)We may love someone and, at the

same time, be anffly with him.Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous

of him.We might love someone and, at the same time, hate for specific reasons.Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion.The question is often asked/is it bad

to hate? ”Usually hate does not help us;it makes us feel unhappy and do things that

may hurt others.(13)However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt

someone in order to protect loved ones.Key：11.D12.A13.D14.D

Questions 14 to 16 are based on the following passage.You might think that most of the patients at sleep clinics are being treated for

majority of sleep-clinic patients suffer from disorders of excessive sleep or“hy-

persomnia”.While most insomniacs somehow manage to drag themselves through the

day and function at acceptable, although not optimal.levels.This is not so for people

who suffer from hypersomnia.They are incapacitated by irresistible urges to sleep during the day, often in

inappropriate situations—at business meetings, in supermarkets, or at parties.Even

more dangerous is their failure to remain awake when driving or operating machines.Falling asleep in such situations could obviously be life-threatening,Many hypersomnia suffer from narcolepsy,for which the primary symptom is

excessive daytime sleepiness.(15)Though not apparent in childhood.this symptom

most often appears for the first time during the teen years and continues through a

person's life.The sleep attacks may occur as many as fifteen to twenty times during the

courses of the day and last for periods from fifteen minutes up to two hours.What can be done to help those suffering from narcolepsy?(16)There are certain

drugs that can help, and specialists Suggest voluntary napping to decrease the

frequency of such sleep attacks.Key: 14.D15.B16.C

Questions 17 to 20 are based on the following passage.(17)It was fifty years ago when the economist Milton Friedman proposed School Choice Programs to improve American education.Today, about 36 000 students are served by vouchers.The programs are in the city of Washington D.C..and three of the fifty states: Florida, Ohio and Wisconsin.The number of students will grow with 14 000 new vouchers just approved by lawmakers in Ohio.And Utah will offer a voucher program for disabled students.(18)A few states offer tax credits or other forms of support to help parents pay for private schools.(20)One objection to vouchers has to do with the fact that most private schools are religious.The Constitution separates government and religion.Voucher critics argue that the use of public money for religious school is unconstitutional.Opponents of vouchers suggest public schools should get more money so all children can attend good schools near their home.Yet some people think all families should be offered vouchers, not just poor ones.Milton Friedman and his wife started the Milton and Rose D.Friedman Foundation to work for school choice with the goal to improve, through competition, the quality of education for all.(19)Milton Friedman had his ninety-third birthday on Sunday.The Nobel Prize-winning economist has been talking to reporters about the fiftieth anniversary of his proposal.Mr.Friedman told Education Week that he thinks fifty years from now, all students will be served by school vouchers.Key：17.A18.D19.C20.B
