英语专八听力原文及答案
英语专八听力原文及答案The popularity of EnglishGood morning, everyone. T oday's lecture is about the popularity of English.As we all know, English is widely used in the world. Althpugh English is not the language with the largest number of native or first language speakers, it has really become a lingua franca. Then what is a lingua franca The term refers to a language which is widely adopted for communication between two speakers whose native languages are different from each others and where one or both speakers are using it as a second language ( Q1). For example, when an Indian talks to a Singaporean using English, then English is the lingua franca.Then actually how many people speak English as either a first or a second language Some researches suggested that a few years ago that between 320 , 000 , 000 to 380 , 000 , 000 people spoke English as a first language. And anyway between 250 , 000 , 000 to 350 , 000 , 000 as a second language ( Q2 ) . And of course , if we include people who are learning English as a foreign language all over the world, that number may increase dramatically. Then we may ask a question, how did English get there That is how did English gain the present status of popularity There are in fact a number of interlocking reasons for the popularity of English as a lingua franca. Many of the reasons are historical , but they also include economic and cultural factors that influenced and sustained this spread of the language. Let's go through the reasons one by one. First, it's the historical reason ( Q3) . This is related to the colonial history. As we know, when' the Pilgrim Fathers landed on the Massachusetts coast in 1620after their journey from England, they brought with them not just a set of religious beliefs, a pioneering spirit or a desire for colonization, but also their language. Although many years later, the Americans broke away from their colonial master, the language of English remained and still does. It was the same in Australia too. When Commander Philippe planted the British flag in Sydney curve on the 26th of January 1788 , it was not just a bunch of British convicts and their guardians but also a language. In other parts of the former British Empire, English rapidly became a unifying or dominating means of control. For example, it became a lingua franca in India where a variety of indigenous languages made the use of any one of them as a whole country system problematic ( Q4). So the imposition of English as the one language of a ministration helps maintain the colonizers' control and power. Thus English traveled around many parts of the world in those days and long after that colonial empire has faded away. It is too widely used as a main or at least an institutional language in countries as far apart as Jamaica and Pakistan, \ Uganda and New Zealand. That is the first factor. Now the second major factor. in the spread of English has been the spread of commerce throughout the world. The spread of international commerce has taken English along with it ( Q5 ) . This is the 20111 century phenomenon of globalization. Therefore, one of the first sights many travelers see when arriving in countries as diverse as Brazil, China for example, it's the yellow, twin art sign of a Macdonald's fast food restaurant or some other famous brand's outlets. And without doubt, English is used as the language of communication in the international business community.And the third factor related to the popular use of English is the boom in international travel ( Q6). And you will find thatmuch travel and tourism is carried on around the world in English. Of course this is not always the case. As the multi-lingualism of many tourism workers in different countries demonstrate. But a visit to most airports on the globe will show signs not only in the language of that country but also in English. Just as many airline announcements are broadcast in English too. Whatever the language of the country the airport is situated in. So far, English is also the preferred language of air-traffic control in many countries and it is used widely in sea travel communication ( Q7 ).Another factor has something to do with the information exchange around the world. As we all know, a great deal of academic discourse around the world takes place in English. It is often a lingua franca of conferences, for example. And many journal articles in fields as diverse as astronomy, trial psychology and zoology have English as a kind of default language ( Q8).The last factor I cite here concerns popular culture. In the western world at least, English is a dominating language in popular culture. Pop music in English can be heard on many radios ( Q9). Thus many people who are not English speakers can sing words from their favorite English medium songs. And many people who are regular cinema-goers or TV viewers can frequently hear English in sub-titled films coming out of the USA.\Now, to sum up, in today's lecture, we have reviewed some of the reasons or factors that lie behind the popular use of English as the NO. 1 world language. Before we finish, I would like to leave a few questions for you to think about. Is the status of English as the NO. 1 world language assured in the future Will it split into varieties that become less mutually intelligible Or some other language or languages take the place of English asthe world language in future ( Q1 ). These questions are not easy to answer, I know, but they are definitely worth pondering over after the lecture. OK, let's bring us to the end of today's lecture. Thank you for your attention. SECTION B CONVERSATION W Hello! Freddy.NI: Hello! Marry. How nice to see you again! How is everything goingW Fine. Busy these daysM : Yeah. With lots of things to do. Would you like to join me for a drinkW: Ok! Thanks!M: Any news recentlyW Oh! Well , I read in the local paper the other day that the government is planning to build an airport here. You knew that M Afraid not.】My real objection to this idea of a new airport is... is that the whole thing is so wasteful. I mean, we know we are currently in a fuel crisis. We know that we've got to conserve oil and fuel and allthe rest of it and yet here the government seems quite deliberately to be encouraging people to travel, to use. And these jets use a heck of a lot of oil. I mean it takes a ton of oil, a ton of petrol before one of this big jets even takes off (Q1).M: Hmmm.W: It seems so completely short-sighted to me, quite apart from all the waste of land and so on. I can't see, I can't see the rational behind really wanting an... an airport at all.M: Well, surely you must admit the existing airport nearby are becoming swarmed. I mean, why should people...NV: Well, they are being swarmed.111: be treated like cattle when there's a chance of a new airport here.W: But, but really, people shouldn't be traveling as much. That's, that's why most of the journeys, I mean, they are swarmed, because there is far too much unnecessary tourism and so on. It isn't necessary for people to travel so fast, or still, even so often ( Q2).M: Well. You take the climate here in this country. Now, just before Christmas, there 'was this dreadful cold spell and there was a tremendous increase in the number of people who wanted to leave and spend Christmas and the New Year in a reasonable climate of sun and a certain mild climate. And in summer, the same situation occurs. It is unbearably hot here and people want go somewhere cool.W: Yes, I can sympathize with that. But it is still not really necessary to do or as it is necessary to conserve fuel and it is necessary to ... well not to waste land, I mean, land for new airport could be used for far more important things which would benefit the people here far more ( Q2). I mean, it could be used for farming, for instance.M: True./W: It could also be used for housing, or it could be used for parks, you know. People then, could come and enjoy themselves without having to travel far.Mi But, airports do bring some local advantages. They bring roads, there's obviously extra employment, for instance, new hotels, shops, restaurants will have to be built, this means, more jobs for the locals and it is good for local economy ( Q3).W: But, you ask the people, you ask those who are now living near the airports, for instance, whether they reckon that airports are bringing them advantages or the airport is bringing noise and vast motorways and the whole area is desolated, isn't it ( Q2) M: But, the airport infrastructure relies on housing and other facilities for the great number of people who would be employed in the airport, the pilot even, the stewardnesses. They have to live somewhere near the airport, rightW: Yeah, but it's, it's just so damaging to the whole area. I think, airports, from my point of view, the whole concept is outdated really. With modern technology, we're going to make a lot of travel unnecessary, really (Q4). For example, it won't be necessary for businessman to fly out toa foreign country to talk to somebody. They can just lift up telephone in the office, press the button and see the person they want to do business with. You see, business deals can be made without having to travel back and forth, rightM: Yes, you're right. But, for a lot of people, 'personal contact is important. And this means travel, and means quick travel, air 'travel and we just need a new airport (Q5).SECTION C NEWS BROADCASTNews Item 1 (for question 6)The New Moderates Party began forming the new Swedish government on Monday. In Sunday's Elections , the New Moderates Party defeated the Social Democrats. The Social Democratic Party has controlled Sweden for all but nine years since 1932 , building up the country's generous welfare state. But the New Moderates wants to change it. ( Q6 ) Sweden's welfare system is famed around the world, but the system encourages people to be lazy and unemployment is also high in Sweden. Onereason is the high tax on companies which makes it difficult to employ new people.News Item 2 (for questions 7 and 8)！Much of the world was watching on television when the command of the Apollo-11 mission Neal Armstrong took the first steps on the moon in July 1969. The pictures of that historic footstep and everything else about that and subsequent of Apollo moon landings were recorded on magnetic tape at three NASA ground tracking stations around the world. The tapes were then shipped to a NASA operation centre near Washington—the Goddard Space Flight Centre. ( Q7 ) In late 1969 , the space agency began transferring them and tens of thousands of tapes from other space missions to a nearby U. S. government archives warehouse: NASA says it asked for them back in the 1970s, but now does not know where they are. "I probably am overly sensitive to the word `lost' . I did not feel they are lost. " said Richard Nafzger, a Goddard Space Flight Centre engineer who was in charge of television processing from all of NASA's ground receiving sites. The Space Agency has authorized him to set aside his other duties for the foreseeable future and devote his time to the hunt for the tapes. Nafzger says- they are stored somewhere. ( Q8 )News Item 3 (for questions 9 and 10)More than 22 million people who live in the Unite State don't speak or understand English very well and that can be deadly. In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Doctor Glan Flores highlights some cases where language barriers prevented patients from communicating with health-care providers with serious consequences. ( Q9 ) Doctor Floresrecords one incident in which English-speaking doctors `thought a Spanish-speaking man was suffering from a drug over-doze. "He was in the hospital basically for two days being worked up for drug abuse " , Flores says. " They finally did a head CT scan and realized he had had a major bleed into his brain. He ended up being paralyzed and he got a 71 million dollars settlement award from the hospital. " Doctor Flores , a professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin, saysthat despite examples like that, the majority of US health-care facilities still do not have trained interpreters on sight, but he acknowledges that increasing numbers of health care workers are bilingual and that more clinics and hospitals do make sure their staff and patients understand each other.

第一章听力填空5种记笔记技巧一、抓主题、记实词一般来说,讲座文章通常采用“总-分-总”的结构,中心突出、结构清晰、层次分明。
因此(开头)主题、分论点或结论句中出现的关键性名词、动词和形容词等是听录音和记笔记的重点。
例1[TEM-8,2010]录音Let me give you some examples.The first is whispering,which indicates theneed for secrecy.The second is breathiness.This is to show deep emotion.The third is huskiness,which is to show unimportance.记录重点记录时,要分层次记录,在理解的基础上记下重点的名词、动词、形容词等实词,如whispering,breathiness,huskiness 等。
题目B.examples1.whispering:need for secrecy2.breathiness:deep emotion3.(2):unimportance解析讲座举例说明声音副语言特征能在交际中帮助传达态度和意图。
此题考的是第三个例子huskiness 。
[答案:huskiness]二、表示顺序或层次的词句后是要点讲座在阐述主题和各分论点时经常会出现表示层次和顺序的词、词组或句子来帮助理解文章的整体结构、中心论点和各分论点。
该类表达有:First of all,...//The second point,...//Thirdly,...//Now let’s take a look at the first approach,...//Now let’s move on to the second approach to meaning,...//Now the third approach to meaning,...等。
听音时,应对这些表示顺序或层次的词语之后的信息予以重点注意和记录。
例2[TEM-8,2008]录音Now the second major factor in the spread of English has been the spread ofcommerce throughout the world.记录重点这篇听力材料介绍英语受欢迎的原因,因此听到second 时要特别注意做笔记,因为它后面的要点常是必考之处。
题目Economic reasons●spread of (5)解析原文主题是英语的流行性。
在陈述了主题之后,说话人具体解释了英语之所以变得流行的几个原因。
考生听到second,factor ,可知此处谈论的是第二个原因,与主题的内容紧密相关,故应重点记录。
根据考题可知空格处应填入名词性的实词或名词性短语。
[答案:commerce //international commerce]三、逻辑关系词（转折、因果等）后是要点讲座中大量运用表示逻辑关系的词,借以体现其连贯性和逻辑性,使文章更有说服力,让听者更易接受。
因此表示逻辑关系的词或短语之后的内容是笔记的重点。
常见的表示逻辑关系的结构有:what’s more,but,however,nevertheless,on the other hand,not only...but also...,therefore,so,as a result,consequently,hence,on the contrary,in contrast,by contrast,besides,as well,in addition,furthermore 等。
例3[TEM-8,2007]录音By contrast,one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was,andstill is,its absence of human and animal images.This reflects the Islamic belief that these images are unholy.记录重点听到逻辑关系词by contrast 时要特别注意,它后面的部分是常考之处。
题目Reason:human and (5)are not seen as holy解析逻辑关系结构by contrast 表示细节之间的对照关系。
这说明它后面提及的内容是和已谈论话题进行比较,得出相同或不同之处。
此题通过比较欧洲和中东的艺术特征,得出中东艺术主要特征之一仍旧是缺少人和动物的形象。
根据考题可知空格处应填入与human 并列的名词或名词性短语。
[答案:animal images]四、表示举例的词后是要点讲座中经常会采用举例的方法来解释、说明某一重要观点或概念,从而使关键信息更通俗和具体。
因此听者要尽可能地记下相关信息,并运用所记录的信息来了解文章中的难点。
真题中曾出现过的表示举例的结构有:for example,for instance,such as,like,that is,namely,to illustrate,as an illustration 等。
例4[TEM-8,2006]录音Some scholars argue that the formal properties of the text,like grammar,dic⁃tion,uses of image and so on and so forth,contain and produce the meaning...记录重点听到like 时要特别注意。
在听到这类表示举例的词时,一般需要记录1~2个关键词,以免试题中考到。
题目1)some people’s view:meaning is produced by the formal properties of the textlike (4),etc.解析由like 可知,其后的内容是对formal properties of the text 的具体举例,这是常考之处,记笔记时不可忽视。
此种类型的题目比较容易,grammar,diction,uses of image 这三个例子中,考生只要填入其中一个即可。
[答案:grammar //diction //uses of image]五、表示总结的词句后是要点听力填空的录音材料的结构和层次都比较清晰,也就是说,在开始或完成主题或分论点叙述时通常会出现总结性的词句。
一方面它们能使讲座的结构和观点鲜明,准确地表达演讲者的意图;另一方面能使听者抓住重点,更好地理解演讲者传达的观点。
历年考题中经常出现的该类表达有:to sum up,in summary,to summarize,in a word,generally speaking,finally,in general,in the end,to conclude,in conclusion,in brief,in closing,it can be concluded that...,to draw the conclusion,above all,on the whole,in short 等。
-1--2-例5[TEM-8,2005]录音To sum up,in today’s lecture,we’ve looked at some of the issues in researchpaper writing,like the basic steps,types of research paper,and how to choose a topic.记录重点考生听到to sum up 时需要特别注意,之后是总结部分,是常考之处,同时也对正确理解全文、避免总体理解偏差有较大的帮助。
题目I.Research Papers and Ordinary EssayA.Similarity in (1):解析此处为录音的总结部分,即综述之前已谈论过的重要内容。
如果听者在笔记中对之前的信息有遗漏,可通过这个部分补充或考证已记录的关键信息,从而确保答题的准确率。
[答案:basic steps]第二章访谈/对话6种解题技巧一、找题干的关键词录音原文是一篇800词左右的对话或访谈,如果听的时候没有针对性,就很可能虽然听懂了相当一部分,却唯独没有听到解题的关键句。
因此,在预读考题的时候,要从题干上找出这道题目的关键词是什么,作为听录音时抓听关键句的依据。
例1[TEM-8,2010]题目According to Dr Johnson,which place will witness a radical change in its racialmakeup by 2025?A.Maine. B.Selinsgrove. C.Philadelphia. D.California.录音M:OK.The first is racial diversity.States with the most racially diverse popu⁃lations stand in stark contrast to those with the least racially diverse popu⁃lations.Um,let’s look at two states,California and Maine.From 1990to 2000,California’s Caucasian population —meaning non⁃Hispanic whites —de⁃clined from 57%to 48%.By 2025,as is predicted,that figure will drop to just 34%,which indicates the future change in the racial composition of California.On the contrary,Maine’s Caucasian population was 98%of its total population throughout the 1990s;and by 2025,Maine’s population will still be 97%Caucasian,which means virtually no change in Maine’s racial diversity over the next 20or so years.解析这道题的题干有一个非常明显的提示“by 2025”。
