Part 1 Listening Comprehension
Passage1 Dolphins
A: Listen to the passage and complete the following blanks with the information you get.
There are about 30 species of the Dolphins which major from 1.5 to 9 meters. They are found in warm and tropical oceans and are extremely faster swimmers, often reaching a speed of 20 knots. In spite of their size, they dive in and out of the water in a most agile manner, they are, in fact, mammals and belong to the family of toothed whales. They possess extremely acute hearing and use an echolocation system to find prey. The best- known species, the one familiar to anybody who has visited a dolphinarium, is the grey-brown bottle-nosed dolphin.
The idea that the dolphin is the one of man’s best friends goes back long way on history. But why are dolphins so appalling? What makes them such lovable and entertaining creatures? The fact is that they are intelligent, inquisitive and quick to lean. They also have a curious expression, rather like a human smile, which is particularly attractive. Dolphins are specially found of children. A dolphin near Melbourne in Australia .recognized one litter girl in particular and kept to returning to see her, they are also capable of forming long-lasting relationships, And one school ,which arrived at a bay in New Zealand. Stayed for over a year and had regular contact with the local inhabitants. However, despite the widespread belief that dolphins can talk, the truth is that they are only able to imitate sounds.
B: listen to the passage again and answer the questions .why are dolphins so appealing?
Passage2 the richer scale
Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the information you get.
A powerful earthquake shook western India late last month. Thousands of people were killed. The quake mainly affected the Indian state of
Gujarat*, but was felt in Pakistan, Bangladesh* and Nepal*.
Earthquakes are caused by movements of the surface of the Earth. Scientists measure their power on the Richter scale*. The recent earthquake in India measured seven-point-seven.
The Richter scale was developed in 35 by Charles Richter of the California Institute of Technology. It measures the amount of energy released by an earthquake.
Energy flows from the center of an earthquake in waves. Scientists
measure waves with a device called a seismograph*. A special pen is connected to the device. It moves across a piece of paper whenever the Earth moves.
Scientists use seismographs to measure movements in areas of the Earth that have suffered earthquakes before. They find the center of a new earthquake by studying seismographs operating near it. They use the devices to learn the strength of the earthquake at its center. They rate it on the Richter scale.
An earthquake with a rating of two or less is not usually felt by people and is recorded only on local seismographs. A rating of more than six means the earthquake is strong enough to destroy buildings.
Each step on the Richter Scale represents a big increase in power. For example, an earthquake rated five is ten times stronger than an earthquake rated four. A quake rated six is ten times stronger than one rated five and so on…
The Richter Scale has no upper limit. Scientists sometimes discuss the size of earthquakes as moderate, large, major or great. A moderate earthquake measures five on the Richter scale. A large one measure six.
A major earthquake measures seven. And a great earthquake measures eight or higher. The largest known earthquakes have been measured between eight-point-eight and eight-point-nine.
The United States National Earthquake Information Center reports about earthquakes all over the world. It says there are
between-thousand and fourteen-thousand earthquakes each year. Scientists say they expect about eighteen major earthquakes and one great earthquake in any one year.
Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the information you get from the tape.
Earthquakes are caused by movements of the surface of the earth. The amount of energy released by an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale which was developed in 1935 by Charles Richter of the California Institute of Technology. As energy flows from the center of an earthquake in waves, scientists measure the waves with a device called seismograph. A special pen is connected to the device. Whenever the Earth moves, the device moves across apiece of paper. Scientists use devices to learn the strength of the earthquake at its center and then rate it on the Richter scale. An earthquake with a rating of two or less is not usually felt by people. A rating of more than six means the earthquake is strong enough to destroy buildings. Each step on the Richter scale represents a big increase in power. A quake rated five is ten times stronger than that rated four and so on …Scientists classify the size of earthquakes as moderate, large, major or great. A moderate earthquake measures five on the Richter Scale. A large one measures six. A major
earthquake measures seven. And a great earthquake measures eight or higher. According to the United States National Earthquake Information Center there are between 12,000 and 14,000 earthquakes each year.
Part 2 Oral Work
Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the following topics.
Weather has a powerful effect on people. Sometimes it influences
intelligence and feelings.
In a 1983 study by scientists, it was found that storms can increase people’s intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand , can lower it .
Students in many of the United States often do badly in exams in the hot months of the year, July and August.
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold
Weather . In hot summer, overweight people may feel unhappy. The summer heat may make them tired and irritable.
Are you feeling sad, tried, forgetful, or very intelligent today? The weather may be the cause.
Exercise: Listen to the passage and then give your opinion on the
following topics.
1.Do you think weather has a powerful effect on people?
Does it influence your intelligence and feeling in some way?

When I left school, I went straight out to work: I worked as a clerk in a small office. My father criticized me, I remember, for not going on studying while I had the chance, but I wanted to earn myself some money. Anyway, that job didn’t last long because I had to go into the army when I was twenty. I stayed in for five years. I don’t know what good my university course did because I’m unemployed now. Oh, I know I got a job when I finished my university course — I was twenty-nine then — but it didn’t last long. Well, I never really thought I would enjoy teaching very much. So, as I say, I’m unemployed now and looking for something else. C Interviewer: Sergio. Thank you for agreeing to this interview. How old are you? Sergio: Um, I’m fifty-one. Interviewer: and what is your profession? Sergio: I’m an accountant. Interviewer: Are you married? Sergio: Yes, I’m married. Interviewer: Does your wife work? Sergio: Yes, luckily. She’s a teacher.

Interviewer: So, how long have you been unemployed? Sergio: Um, for about 6 months. Interviewer: So, Sergio. It must be difficult being unemployed at your age. Sergio: Of course. Many people don’t want to employ someone over fifty. Interviewer: So how do you spend your days? Sergio: I get the newspaper every day and look at the job advertisements. When I see something interesting I apply. Interviewer: Any luck so far? Sergio: Yes, I was offered something last month, but the job was not very interesting. Interviewer: Do you meet other unemployed people? Sergio:Not really. Um, I prefer to stay at home and work on my PC. I’m also studying psychology. Interviewer: That’s an interesting idea. What else do you do? Sergio: I have lunch with my former colleagues about once a month. They often hear about jobs and so on. They often have useful information.

Unit5 Section One Tactics for Listening
Part2 listening and Note-taking Reading
B: When should a child start learning to read and write? This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the ins and outs of reading letters to form words.
If a three-year-old wants to read (or even a two-year-old for that matter), the child deserves to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be "bored" when joining a class of non-readers at infant school is the teacher's affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.
Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic*. If he is, specialist help should immediately be sought.
Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read (if badly done it could put them off reading for life) there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labelling various items in their room. For instance, by a nice piece

Part 2 Listening and Note-Taking Mountain Rescue Service / When an accident is reported to the Mountain Rescue Service the first thing that happens is that the person who reports the accident is closely questioned. The rescue group needs to find out a number of details. First, they need to know exactly where the accident happened, with a map reference if possible. Then they will want to know the time of the accident. They will also need to know how many people were involved in the accident and what kind of injuries there were. Finally, they will ask for other useful details, such as the colour of the victim's clothing and the weather conditions. Then the rescue team's call-out procedure begins. Team members keep their personal equipment at home so as to be ready to set off within fifteen minutes of receiving the call. The advance party of about four people sets off right away. They carry a radio telephone with them to send details to the main party and to the base. They are also equipped and trained to give immediate medical assistance. The main party follows the advance party. They carry a radio telephone and more supplies, including a stretcher for the victim. The third party on the mountain is the back-up group. Their job is to help the main party on its return journey. Rescue control is set up in a mobile base. This vehicle carries the team's supplies other than personal equipment.

Many Asian cultures have included frog legs in their diets for centuries -- or at least until they have run out of frogs. But the most famous frog-eaters, and the people who inspired frog-eating in Europe and the United States are the French. By 1977 the French government, so concerned about the scarcity of its native frog, banned commercial hunting of its own amphibians. So the French turned to India and Bangladesh for frogs. As happened in France, American frog-leg fanciers and restaurants also turned increasingly to frozen imports. According to figures collected from government agencies, the United States imported more than million pounds of frozen frog meat each year between 1981 and 1984. So many frozen frog legs were exported from India to Europe and the United States. One of the attractions of Indian frogs, apart from the fact that they have bigger legs than French frogs, was the price. In London, a pound of frozen frog's legs from India cost about ￡, compared with ￡for the French variety. Indian scientists have described as "disastrous" the rate at which frogs are disappearing from the rice fields and wetlands, where they protect crops by devouring damaging

Part 2 Listening for Gist For hundreds of years man has been fascinated by the idea of flying. One of the first men to produce designs for aircraft was Leonardo da Vinci, an Italian artist who lived in the fifteenth century. However, it was not until the eighteenth century that people began to fly, or perhaps it would be better to say float, across the countryside in balloons. The first hot-air balloon was made in April 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France. In the following years many flights were made by balloon. Some of the flights were for pleasure and others were for delivering mail and for military purposes, such as observation and even bombing. However, in the late nineteenth century, airship s superseded balloons as a form of transport. Airships came after balloons. The first powered and manned flight was made by a Frenchman, Giffard, in September 1852. His airship, powered by steam, traveled twenty-seven kilometers from Paris to Trappes at a speed of eight kilometers per hour. However the days of the airship were numbered as the aero- plane became increasingly safe and popular. Exercise Directions: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide. 1.This passage is about the early history of flying.
