M: As I start describing how quiet it is to be out in the woods.I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going.Cross-country skiing isn’t as easy as some people think.It takes a lot of energy, but that’s not part of my paper.So I guess I should leave it out.But now I don’t know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it.It all fits together.It’s not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by.That’s different.W: Then you’ll have to include that in your point.The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort.Why leave that out? Part of your point you knew before hand but part you discovered as you wrote.That’s common, right? M: Yeah, I guess so.Q19: What is the topic of the man’s writing assignment?

There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts.For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes.But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age.Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful.Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes.We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad.Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue.Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained.Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television.However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another.There are close to one million nerve fibres that connect the eyeball to the brain, as of yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person.Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced.But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26.What does the speaker want to tell us about eyesight? 27.What do studies about wearing the wrong glasses show? 28.What do we learn about eye transplanting from the talk? Passage Two 听力原文

When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers.If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities.In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home.Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings.Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience.The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received.They were affectionate and cooperative.However, even when caregiving is satisfying, it is hard work.Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative.One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent.Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance.On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children.Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters.Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29.Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents? 30.Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes? 31.According to the passage, what must caregivers learn to do? Passage Three Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.Since a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections.My coworkers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety hazards in the workplace.Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about 7 hours a day.The supervisor of the laboratory is beginning to get headaches and dizzy spells because she says it’s dangerous to breathe some of the chemical smoke there.An X-rays technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment.She insists that it’s exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation.She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and asked that government agency to inspect the department.I’ve heard that at a factory in the area two pregnant women who were working with paint requested a transfer to a safer department, because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies.The supervisor of personnel refused the request.In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owners was too busy or too mean to do anything about it.Finally, they all met an agree to wear ski-clothing to work the next day.The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees.But he had the heating system replaced right away.Questions 32-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.32 What does the talk focus on? 33 What did the X-ray technician ask her company to do? 34 What does the speaker say about the two pregnant women working with paint? 35 Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing to work? Section C Compound Dictation

Contrary to the old warning that time waits for no one, time slows down when you are on the move.It also slows down more as you move faster, which means astronauts some day may survive so long in space that they would return to an earth of the distant future.If you could move at the speed of light, your time would stand still, if you could move faster than light, your time would move backward.Although no form of matter yet discovered, moves as fast as or faster than light, scientific experiments has already confirmed that accelerated motion causes a traveler’s time to be stretched.Albert Einstein predicted this in 1905, when he introduced the concept of relative time as part of his special theory of relativity.A search is now under way to confirm the suspected existence of particles of matter that move at a speed greater than light.And therefore, might serve as our passports to the past.An obsession with time, saving, gaming, wasting, losing and mastering it, seems to have been a part of humanity for as long as human have existed.Humanity also has been obsessed with trying to capture the meaning of time.Einstein used a definition of time for experimental purposes, as that which is measured by a clock.Thus time and time’s relativity are measurable by any hour glass, alarm clock, or atomic clock that can measure a billionth of a second.附：2011年6月全国大学英语四级听力答案

Part I Writing

The quotation mentioned in the directions really makes a lot of sense.No doubt, everyone wishes for success either at his work or in his personal life.Still, a lot of us couldn‟t make it.The only reason is that we didn‟t try hard enough for our dream, or we just dreamed but took no action at all.If we‟ve got a goal in our life, we have to take our prompt action and put out constant efforts along the way to final success, not just sitting on our hands and dreaming.As the saying teaches us, it‟s essential for us to take action to realize our dream or initial goal.Success won‟t come to you if you are not willing to try for it.Numerous examples in human history illustrate the importance of taking action instead of daydreaming.For now, let‟s take high school senior students for example.Every one of them wishes for a chance to be admitted into an ideal university.But, obviously, this goal won‟t come by itself.Every student must study hard and fight for his dream.He has to work diligently to have a positive mindset first, and more importantly he has to deal with tons of test papers on all the subjects he learnt.Only in this way, can he be enrolled in a desirable school.It‟s easily said than done.To take action and make constant efforts along the way to success is not easy.One needs to have a strong will in the first place.In addition, a maximal amount of self discipline is a must.Part II Listening Comprehension

M: Easy.You can just write down those questions and remember to address them after the meeting or at another time.W: Good.Another question, how can I deal with opinions from other members of the group?

M: Yes, you‟d better if you can manage to spare some time.Attending a long meeting might be a tiring job for most people.W: Ok, I‟ll mind that.M: Don‟t worry too much.You‟d be good if you can picture possible problems beforehand.W: That‟s right.But, without your advice, I would feel at a loss about the meeting.M: Never mind.My pleasure to help in some way.W: Anyway, thanks, Ted.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.8.What‟s Lucy busy doing now? 9.What does Ted suggest Lucy do at the very beginning of the meeting? 10.How can Lucy deal with new problems appearing during the meeting? 11.What might participants with dominant personality help with the meeting?

W: Very well.I‟m selecting among several job offers.M: Sounds great.So, you‟ll have to get prepared for your coming job interviews.W: That‟s right.M: You‟ll be ok if you stayed focused.If you watch elite athletes right before a competition, you‟ll see they are fiercely focused.W: I wish I could do like that.M: You will make it if you accomplish last-minute job interview preparations.W: Last-minute job interview preparations? M: Yes, that means what you should do right before you‟re on the way to your interview.W: That sounds horrifying.What can I do, precisely? M: First, check Twitter and the company‟s website one last time.W: What for? M: On your way, tap on Twitter and the company‟s website to see if there is any company breaking news you might be able to relevantly reference.It will make you seem interested, informed and help you stand out from other candidates.W: Yes, that‟s what I should learn by heart.M: Secondly, check yourself out, too.That really matters.Try to make a good first impression, especially if your appointment is after lunch, find a mirror and do a quick check on your teeth.W: I know what you mean.A stain in teeth may be very embarrassing.M: No doubt.Be careful with your clothes.Sometimes, due to the limited time for preparation, some candidates may wear their clothes inside-out.That appears to be very ridiculous.W: Right.First impression really counts in job interviews.M: Respect the front desk, too.I also want to mention this to you.W: Why the front desk particularly? M: Don‟t ignore the security team or receptionist at the front desk.W: I‟ll try to show them a proper amount of respect.M: Good.You‟ll never regret it.He or she may be a spy for your future boss.In fact, he or she holds more power than you think.Having a bad relationship with him or her might prematurely end your candidacy for the position.W: Wow, I‟d better not mess with the person at the front desk.M: So, remember to finish your cell phone conversations before you enter the building and take care not to bring any trouble to him or her.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.12.What is the woman doing now? 13.What is the man‟s first suggestion before attending a job interview? 14.How can the woman ensure a good first impression? 15.What is said about the receptionist at the front desk?

Pride and Prejudice is one of the best books I‟ve ever read, if not the best.It is like a textbook on how to pace a story, which is a hard thing to do, for me at least.It is a perfect social comedy.The dialogue is both believable, natural-seeming, and yet ten million times more interesting, witty and articulate than anything real people say.The characters are so well-drawn, interesting, and deep that you get drawn into the story from the first page.Elizabeth Bennet is such a charming, funny, wonderful character—Jane Austen wrote, in a letter, about Elizabeth: “I must confess that I think her as delightful a creature as ever appeared in print, and how I shall be able to tolerate those who do not like her at least I do not know…”.One thing I love about Jane Austen is that she never takes herself seriously, yet she clearly loves her characters, even when they are behaving stupidly.She seems to have had a great eye for the ridiculous in people and society, but not a bitter, hateful one.I‟ve read many essays about the feminism of Jane Austen‟s writing;she clearly saw the desperation and despair of the social position of women: Unable to work, or even to inherit, they had to marry, and marry well, or live in poverty.And Jane Austen clearly saw women as intellectually equal to men.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16.How does the speaker consider the dialogue in the novel concerned? 17.What did Jane Austen say about Elizabeth Bennet? 18.What did Jane Austen write about the social position of women?

16.A 17.C 18.B

Passage Two

Today, I‟d like to talk about eating habits in China.Unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares.If you are being treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food.Chinese are very proud of their culture of cooking style and will do their best to show their hospitality.And sometimes the host will serve some dishes with his or her own chopsticks to guests to show his or her hospitality.This is a sign of politeness.The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how yummy it is.If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite “thank you” and leave the food there.There are some other rules that are suggested you follow to make your stay in China happier, though you will be forgiven if you have no idea of what they are.First, never stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl, lay them on your dish instead.Otherwise, it is regarded as extremely impolite to the host and seniors present.The reason for this is that when somebody dies, the place for worshiping them contains a bowl of sand or rice with two sticks of incense stuck upright in it.So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it is equivalent to wishing death upon a person at the table……

Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19.What does the speaker say about a Chinese host? 20.How can foreigners treat those rules about eating habits when in China? 21.Why are westerners advised not to stick chopsticks upright in the bowl?

Passage Three Thomas Jefferson, the third president of the United States, was involved in politics from his early adult years.Born into the planter class of Virginia, Jefferson was highly educated and valued his years at the College of William and Mary.He became a lawyer and planter, building on the estate and slaves received from his father.His father was Peter Jefferson, a planter and major slaveholder, and a surveyor in Albemarle County.His ancestors had come to America from Wales, although this remains unclear.His mother was Jane Randolph, daughter of a ship‟s captain and sometime planter.Later in 1752, Peter Jefferson was appointed to the leader of the county, an important position at the time.After he died in 1757, his son Thomas Jefferson obtained his estate, including about 20-40 slaves.On October 1, 1765, when Jefferson was 22, his oldest sister Jane died at the age of 25.He fell into a period of deep mourning, as he was already saddened by the absence of his sisters Mary and Martha, who had been married several years before.Both of them lived at their husbands‟ residences.He drew little comfort from the younger sisters and brothers, as they did not provide him with the same intellectual encouragement as the older sisters had.In a sense, while growing up Jefferson struggled with loneliness and abandonment issues that eventually developed into a habit of avoiding the company of other people as an adult.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22.What did Thomas Jefferson do to make a living after leaving college? 23.What‟s mentioned about Jane Randolph, Jefferson‟s mother? 24.Who died when Jefferson was 22? 25.How was Jefferson‟s personality when he grew up as an adult?

Part IV Translation

According to a survey made by Beijing‟s Haidian District People‟s Court, Chinese people aged above 30, especially 30-39, are most likely to say „no‟ to their marriage, though many are financially stable and have children to care for.Over the past two decades, the public‟s ideas about marriage have changed a lot, as older couples are ready to separate if their marriage fails their expectations of a happy marital life, while young people become more cautious about tying the knot.Among the more than 600 divorce cases surveyed, divorcees between 30 to 40 years of age account for 46.5 percent in 2003, up 9.5 percent in 1981.On the contrary, people aged under 30 tend to stay inside the family circle, with only 6.6 percent getting divorced in 2003, a big drop from 37 percent 22 years ago.

W: Oh, where are we going? M: I want to show you something.W: I know, but what is it? M: A farm.It’s just down this road.It’s a small place, but at least it would be our own.W: A farm? How can we afford to buy a farm? M: It isn’t very large, only 40 acres.We wouldn’t have to pay very much right now.W: Is there a house on the place?

W: Yes, we are, but the money.Do we have enough to get started?

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 neighborhood when 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 neighborhood when 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.26 A)To introduce the chief of the city’s police force B)To comment on a talk by a distinguished guest C)To address the issue of community security D)To explain the functions of the city council 27 A)He has distinguished himself in city management B)He is head of the International Police Force C)He completed his higher education abroad D)He holds a master’s degree in criminology 28 A)To coordinate work among police departments B)To get police officers closer to the local people C)To help the residents in times of emergency D)To enable the police to take prompt action 29 A)Popular B)discouraging C)effective D)controversial

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.30 A)people differ greatly in their ability to communicate B)there are numerous languages in existence C)Most public languages are inherently vague D)Big gaps exist between private and public languages 31 A)it is a sign of human intelligence B)in improves with constant practice C)it is something we are born with D)it varies from person to person 32 A)how private languages are developed B)how different languages are related C)how people create their languages D)how children learn to use language

参考答案：

26.A)To introduce the chief of the city police force.27.D)He holds a master s degree in criminology.28.B)To get police officers closer to the local people.29.C)Effective.30.B)There are numerous languages in existence.31.C)It is something we are born with.32.D)How children learn to use language.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? 33.A)she was a tailor B)she was an engineer C)she was an educator D)she was a public speaker 34.A)Basing them on science-fiction movies.B)Including interesting examples in them C)Adjusting them to different audiences D)Focusing on the latest progress in space science 35.A)Whether spacemen carry weapons B)How spacesuits protect spacemen C)How NASA trains its spacemen D)What spacemen cat and drink Section C 复合式听写

Crime is increasing worldwide.There is every reason to believe the(36)trend will continue through the next few decades.Crime rates have always been high in multicultural industrialized societies such as the United States.But a new(37)phenomenon has appeared on the world(38)scene-rapidly rising crime rates in nations that previously reported few(39)offenses.Street crimes such as robbery, rape,(41)murder and auto theft are clearly rising,(41)particularly in eastern European countries such as Hungary and in western European nations such as the United Kingdom.What is driving this crime(42)explosion? There are no simple answers.Still, there’re certain conditions(43)associated with rising crime.Increasing heterogeneity of populations, greater cultural pluralism, higher immigration, democratization of governments,(44)changing national borders, greater economic growth, and the lack of accepted social ideas of right and wrong.These conditions are increasing observable around the world.For instance, cultures that were previously isolated and homogeneous(同种类的)such as Japan, Denmark, and Greece(45)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(46)failure to recognize and plan for such diversity can lead to serious crime problems.

Section B

Passage One

Do you remember the time when people were a litter nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do.And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away form that.Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance out first, or never saying “Thank you” when others hold the door open for them.We get lazy.And in our laziness, we think that something, like a simple “Thank You” doesn't really matter.But it can matter very much.The fact that no matter how nicely we dress, or how beautifully we decorate we home, we can't be truly elegant without good manners because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand.In fact, I think of the good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret.Haven't you noticed that the1

kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? It's funny how that happens.But it

does.Take the long-lost art of saying “Thank you” like wearing a little makeup or making sure

your hair is neat.Getting into the habit of saying “Thank you” can make you feel better about

yourself.Good manners add to you image while an angry face makes the best dressed person look

ugly.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q11: What is the passage mainly about?Q12: What does the speaker say about the people of the past?Q13: According to the speaker, how could we best improve our image?Passage Two

“Go to the playground and have fun.” Parents will often say to their kids.But they should

remember playgrounds can be dangerous.Each year about 200,000 children end up in hospital

emergency rooms with playground injures.Many injures involve falls from too-high equipment

poorly maintained.Parents should make sure that the equipment in playground that

children are playing safely.Last year the national programme for the

nation's playground a grade of “C” for safety after visiting more playgrounds

nationwide.Parents should watch closely.They should always be and running

sense of security, that's when they can be creative.Q14: What is the cause of playground injures?Passage Three

But picking somebody's pocket sister and I were among the most successful

pickpocket teams in London.and theatre lobbies, airports, shopping centers,restaurants.Now we don't steal but this crime is worldwide.Here is how to protect

yourself:

babies, the elderly, all fair game.My preferred target was the lone female,the there isn't a blind side.If you want to make it even harder, use a bag with

A needs targets who are relaxed and off guard.The perfect setting is clothing

store.When customs wander among the racks, they are completely absorbed in the items they hold

up.The presence of a uniformed security guard is even better.A false sense of security makes a

pickpocket's job much simpler.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q17: Why does the speaker say that picking somebody's pocket is an honorable job in southeast

London?

Q18: According to the speaker, who is most likely to become a victim of pickpockets?Q19: In the speaker's opinion, what is the best place for a man to keep his wallets?

Q20: What is the perfect setting for picking pockets, according to the speaker?
