Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington University, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our graying society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller:Dr. Miller: Thank you for that introduction. Today, Id like to preface my remarks with a story from my own life which I feel highlights the common concerns that bring us here together. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting back the tears, he spoke proudly of the fact that he had built their home from the ground up, and that he had pounded every nail and laid every brick in the process. The prospect of having to sell their home and give up their independence, and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. It was,in my grandfathers own words, like having a limb cut off. He exclaimed in a forceful manner that he felt he wasnt important anymore.For them and some older Americans, their so-called “golden years”are at times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of not only ones health but the loss of identity and self-worth. In many societies, this self-identity is closely related with our social status, occupation, material possessions, or independence. Furthermore, we often live in societies that value what is “new” or in fashion, and our own usage of words in the English language is often a sign of bad news for older Americans. I mean how would your family react if you came home tonight exclaiming, “Hey, come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!” Unfortunately, the word “old” calls to mind images of the need to replace or discard.Now, many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform, medical care, and the development of public facilities for senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, Id like to focus my comments on an important issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with changing our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our societies.First of all, Id like to talk about . . .16. What does the introduction say about Dr. Howard Millers articles and books?17. What is the greatest fear of Dr. Millers grandfather?18. What does Dr. Miller say the “golden years” can often mean?19. What is the focus of Dr. Millers speech?解：这是一篇关于老龄化社会，老年人的晚年生活等问题的演讲。

At the end of each news report, you will hear two or three questions. Both the news report and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.Kenyan police say one person was killed and 26 injured in an explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi. The blast hit a bus about to set off for the Ugandan capital Kampala. LastJuly, the Somali group al-Shabab said it was behind the blasts in the Ugandan capital which killed more than 70 people. Will Ross reports from the Kenyan capital.The explosion happened beside a bus which was about to set off for an overnight journey from Nairobi to the Ugandan capital Kampala. Some eyewitnesses report that a bag was about to be loaded on board, but it exploded during a security check. Windows of the red bus were left smashed, and blood could be seen on the ground beside the vehicle. Just hours earlier, Uganda’s police chief had warn ed of possible Christmas-time attacks by Somali rebels.1. What is the news report mainly about?2. When did the incident occur?Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.Woolworths is one of the best known names on the British High Street. It’s been in business nearly a century. Many of its 800 stores are likely to close following the company’s decision to call in administrators after an attempt to sell the business for a token £1 failed.The company has huge debt s. The immediate cause for the collapse has been Britain’s slide toward recession, which has cut into consumer spending. However, the business had been in trouble for years.Known for low-priced general goods, Woolworths has struggled in the face of competition from supermarkets expanding beyond groceries and a new generation of internet retailers.Many of the store group’s 25,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs. Some profitable areas such as the DVD publishing business will survive.3. What do we learn about Woolworths from the news report?4. What did Woolworths attempt to do recently?Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.Cairo is known for its overcrowded roads, irregular driving practices and shaky old vehicles, but also for its air pollution. In recent months, though, environmental studies indicate there have been signs of improvement. That’s due in part to the removal of many of the capital’s old-fashioned black and white taxis. Most of these dated back to the 1960s and 70s and were in a poor state of repair.After new legislation demanded their removal from the roads, a low interest loan scheme was set up with three Egyptian banks so drivers could buy new cars. The government pays about $900 for old ones to be discarded and advertising on the new vehicles helps cover repayments.The idea has proved popular with customers ― they can now travel in air-conditioned comfort and because the new cabs are metered, they don’t have to argue over fares. Banks and car manufacturers are glad for the extra business in tough economic times. As for the taxi drivers, most are delighted to be behind the wheel of new cars, although there have been a few complaints about switching from black and white to a plain white colour.5. What change took place in Cairo recently?6. What helped bring about the change?7. Why do customers no longer argue with new cab drivers?Section BDirections: In this section, you will hear two long conversations. At the end of each conversation, you will hear four questions.

After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneIn today’s class, we’ll discuss Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved.As I’m sure you all know, Morrison is both a popular and a highly respected author, and it’s not easy to be both. Born in 1931, Morrison has written some of the most touching and intelligent works on theAfrican-American experience ever written by anyone, and yet to call her an“African-American writer” doesn’t seem to do her justice. In many ways, she’s simply an American writer—and certainly one of our best.Beloved is a truly remarkable work. It was recommended for nearly every major literary prize, including the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, and it in fact won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Morrison herself is distinguished for having won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1993.What makes Beloved unique is the skillful, sure way in which Morrison blends intensely personal storytelling and American history, racial themes and gender themes, the experience of Blacks with the experience of all people everywhere, the down-to-earth reality of slavery with a sense of mysterious spirituality.W e’ll be paying special attention to these themes as we discuss this work. I’m particularly interested in your views on the relative importance of race and gender in this book. Is it more important that Sethe, the main character, is black or that she’s a wo man? Which contributes more to her being? What does Morrison tell us about both?Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. What do we learn about Toni Morrison?17. What honor did Toni Morrison receive in 1993?18. What does the speaker tell us about Sethe, the main character in Morrison’snovel Beloved?Passage TwoThe topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you may think that gift-giving is a universal custom. But actually, the rules of gift-giving vary quite a lot, and not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. In North America, the rules are fairly simple. If you’re invited to someone’s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item from your co untry. Among friends, family, and business associates, we generally don’t give gifts on other occasions except on someone’s birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, on the other hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. The tradition of gift-giving in Japan is very ancient. There are many detailed rules for everything from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. And while Europeans don’t generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some for mal customswhen visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, can carry special meaning.Today we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on with additional examples. But let’s not miss the main poi nt here: If we are not aware of and sensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities for miscommunication and conflict are enormous. Whether we learn about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respect differences among people in order to get along successfully with our global neighbors.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.19. What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?20. What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift-giving?21. What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?Passage ThreeHetty Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and opened her own bank account.Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia.Hetty’s meanness was well known. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken biscuits which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much loved dog. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son Ned fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned lost his leg.When she died in 1916 she left her children $100 million. Her daughter built a hospital with her money.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.22. What do we learn about Hetty Green as a child?23. How did Hetty Green become rich overnight?24. Why was Hetty Green much hated?25. What do we learn about Hetty’s daughter?参考答案Part II Listening Comprehension Section A1. B2. C3. A4. D5. D6. A7. CSection B8. D9. B10. B11. C12. A13. B14. C15. DSection C16. A17. B18. D19. D20. C21.

After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1with a single line through the centre.Conversation OneW: Hello.M: Hello, is that the reference library?W: Yes. Can I help you?M: I hope so. I rang earlier and asked for some information about Denys Hawtin, the scientist. You asked me to ring back.W: Oh, yes. I have found something.M: Good. I’ve got a pencil and paper. Pe rhaps you could read out what it says.W: Certainly. Hawtin, Denys. Born: Darlington 1836; died New York 1920.M: Yes. Got that.W: Inventor and physicist. The son of a farm worker, he was admitted to the University of London at the age of fifteen.M: Yes.W: He graduated at seventeen with a first class degree in Physics and Mathematics. All right?M: Yes, all right.W: He made his first notable achievement at the age of eighteen. It was a method of refrigeration which arose from his work in low temperature physics. He became professor of Mathematics at the University of Manchester at twenty-four, where he remained for twelve years. During that time he married one of his students,Natasha Willoughby.M: Yes. Go on.W: Later, working together in London, they laid the foundation of modern Physics by showing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles. For this he and his wife received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1910, and did so again in 1912 for their work on very high frequency radio waves. In his lifetime Hawtin patented 244 inventions. Do you want any more?M: Yes. When did he go to America?W: Let me see. In 1920 he went to teach in New York, and died there suddenly after only three weeks. Still, he was a good age.M: Yes. I suppose so. Well, thanks.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. What do we learn about Denys Hawtin when he was 15?2. What did Denys Hawtin do at the age of 24?3. For what were Denys Hawtin and his wife awarded the Nobel Prize a second time?4. Why did Denys Hawtin go to New York?Conversation TwoW: This is Lisa Meyer in the WBZ newsroom, talking with Mike Bassichis, who is the director of the Gifford School, about the cleanup fr om last week’s fire and what the possible cause of that blaze may have been.M: We’re getting ready for our entire staff to return early from vacation tomorrow whereupon we are going to move into temporary classrooms. And the other buildings that did not burn are being de-smoked. As to the cause of the fire, all we know is that we were having trouble with the pilot lights since we bought the stove in July and it had been serviced three times. Well, as a matter of fact, we think it was a malfunctioning stove that may have caused the fire. Nothing definite yet has been determined.W: Have you heard from other schools or other institutional users of this stove that have had the same problem?M: No. I wouldn’t know anything more about the stove itself. All I kno w is that this fire went up so quickly that there’s been a suspicion about why it went up so quickly. And it may be that there was a gas blast. But, again, this has not been determined officially by anybody.。
四六级听力改革
大学英语四级考试于1987年9月开考，六级考试自1989年1月首考，每年报考人数上千万。
2005年6月起，总分变为710分，取消合格证书。
2007年1月起，大学英语四六级考试只接受在校生报考，不再接受社会考生报考。
2007年6月起，全部实行网上评卷。
而今年最大的变化就是全国50所高校一千个考点首次尝试“四六级机考”。
很多考生对于四六级机考都还很陌生，那么下面就由小编来带你揭开四六级机考这层“神秘面纱”。
明年，四六级考试，通过听力来完成的考题比重将增大；2009年，全国将有1000个考点试点用计算机答题，考四、六级将有望实现随到随考。
记者昨日获悉，继大学英语系列教材大变脸后，四六级考试听力的比重将进一步增加，作文内容也将可能由听力材料提供。
目前，经上海外语教育出版社出版的，我国首套根据教育部颁布的《大学英语课程教学要求》编写的大学英语系列教材正式出版，这意味着我国大学公共英语教材将大变脸。
昨日，记者就此事采访了川内多所高校的外国语学院负责人，他们纷纷表示，教材改革是必然的，更为关键的是考试这根指挥棒的转变。
据四川大学副校长、全国四六级考委会成员石坚透露，明后年，我国四六级考试也将“大变脸”。
一方面，通过听力来完成的考题比重将进一步增大。
另一方面，2009年，全国将有1000个考点，试点计算机答题。
机考将逐步取代每年两次的纸制考试，采用随到随考的方式，在考试时间上对考生适当分流，今后四、六级考试“打拥堂”的现象将彻底改善。
据介绍，采用机考后，题型将发生很大变化，英语作文也将探索“听力＋作文”的模式，考生需要听一段听力材料，根据材料的要求进行写作。
听力材料将主要来源于媒体新闻和信息。
另外，为了增加对学生说的能力的考察，机考还有可能给一段语音材料，让学生复述，从而考察学生的发音和英语表达能力。
目前，具体有哪些高校参与试点还未确定。
但机考将成为四六级考试发展的必然趋势，有望在全国推广。
针对这项改革，目前，省内各高校都在逐步采取措施，调整教育、考试模式，让学生逐渐适应未来的机考。

社科六级听力改革的分析及措施
文_陶 莎
摘要：大学英语四六级的改革在近些年来被反复提 及，到了今年在听力方面有了重大调整，其目的在 于提升学生的英语综合应用能力。本文主要介绍了 大学英语四六级听力改革的方向，并进一步分析了 大学英语四六级听力改革的应对策略。 关键词：大学；英语；四六级；听力改革；应对策略
就可以应付听力考试，所以听力理解的训练作用并 不大。所以，此次改革就注重听力学习的导向性， 让大学生能够真正地关注英语的使用方法和内容， 让学生更进一步提升对英语的理解和掌握能力。
二、大学英语四六级听力改革的应对措施 1、大学英语教学改革的策略 我国的考试一项对教育有向导性作用，四六 级考试同样也有这样的作用。所以，大学的英语教 育改革应积极顺从四六级考试，改变以往以教师单 一传授为主的教育模式，向计算机教育模式靠拢， 实现学生自主化、个性化的学习方向发展。 具体要到高校、学校各部门之间加强工作的 协调性，积极整合资源，投入相关设备和经历，建 立更符合大学英语教学改革需要的校园网或是局域 网，自主开发英语学习软件，鼓励学生利用丰富的 课余资源完善自身的知识体系。 2、教育方式的优化策略 在课堂当中，教师要改变以往的教学手段， 积极利用现代多媒体技术和网络技术。大学英语教 师要有现代技术的教育观念，学会制作高质量的课 件，积极整合教学资源，让语言教学与技术积极结 合，达到良好的教学效果，为学生树立信息技术应 用的榜样。 除此之外，教师要切实改革听说的教学，积 极利用网上的音频和视频资源，丰富教学的内容。 在教学中，教师可以利用一些真实资料作为教学的 资源，例如 BBC 和中国国际广播等等。教师要积 极利用多媒体网络和学生交流，利用网络辅导学生， 让学生充分地享受自主化学习模式。 我们处于一个缺乏说英语的环境，当下的学 生去学英语主要是为了应付考试，长期处于一个不 练习英语的环境中，对英语的运用十分有限，对其 文化背景的掌握也十分有限。在听的过程中，中西 方文化的差异性会对我们的听力理解造成一些影 响，甚至会有明显的障碍。教师在日常的教学过程 中，可以向学生介绍一些英语国家的文化背景，让 学生充分地了解他们的生活方式与习惯，以此来加 深学生对英语听力的理解。 3、优化学生的自我学习策略 教师要尽快让学生养成自我学习的能力，为 其自我巩固打下坚实的基础。国家设置四六级考试 是为了敦促学生英语综合应用水平的提升。有些学 生对于英语学习产生一些误会，认为掌握相关的应 试技巧就可以通过考试，他们千方百计地掌握答题

英语四六级听力题改革方案
全国大学生四六级考试对学生来说是非常重要的一件事情，在xx 年里，四六级题又有一个新的改革方案，你了解吗?下面就让学习啦来告诉你关于英语四六级听力题改革方案及英语四六级成绩查询方式吧。
为了适应新的形势下社会对大学生英语听力能力需求的变化，进一步提高听力测试的效度，全国大四、六级考试委员会自xx年6月考试起将对四、六级考试的听力试题作局部调整。
调整的相关内容说明如下。
取消短对话
取消短文听写
新增短篇新闻(3段)
其余测试内容不变。
调整后四级听力部分的试题结构见下表：
取消短对话
取消短文听写
听力篇章调整为2篇(原3篇)
新增讲座/讲话(3篇)
其他测试内容不变。
调整后六级听力部分的试题结构见下表：
考前：
1、考前一天晚上准备好第二天考试的必备。
包括：准考证、
___、学生证、2B铅笔(2支以上，笔要削得平一些)、橡皮、圆珠笔或钢笔(两支以上)、耳机、耳机电池、手表、小刀(开试题册)、直尺(备用)。
为了避免遗漏，可以先列一个物品清单，对照清单一一核对物品。
2、考前一天看下天气预报。
是否会下雨?天气热不热?准备好雨伞、霜、纸巾、水。
3、考前饮食：周五晚上吃得清淡一些，以清爽、可口、易吸收为准(蔬菜、清蒸鱼等)。
四级早饭一定要吃(热豆浆/牛奶+馒头等面类食物等)，带上几颗巧克力(甜食有助于兴奋，让自己发挥得更好)
4、考试当天提前20-25分钟到考场，给自己充足的准备时间。
(不用太早，太早考场未必进得去)。
5、心理准备：以自信的心态去对待一次新的挑战，不高估自己，也不贬低自己，认真对待，尽吾志而无悔。
考中：
1、进入考场后不要再喝过多的水，开始考试前去一次洗手间。
2、进入考场，放松心情。
不要想太多，静下心来，专心准备考试。
要对自己有信心，胸有成竹，营造势不可挡的气场。
如果自己还是觉得很紧张，可以做下深，捏紧拳头，再放松。
3、发答题卡，仔细填好，姓名、准考证号、A卷或B卷这三点要反复核查是否填写正确。
4、考试中涂卡，仔细看好题号，边做题边涂卡，做完一部分，再核对一下题号是否正确，如果不对，也只需要改一部分，改答案时，一定要用橡皮擦干净，并且注意有没有擦到其他题目，涂的时候深浅适中，不用太用力去涂。
5、答题时，认真审题，明确要求，一定要高度集中注意力快速、准确地认真读题。
先易后难，增强自信心，千万不能在一类题、或一道题上费时太多。
尽量做完试题，分分必争要做到会多少答多少，即使是没有把握也要敢于写，碰碰运气也无妨。
在标准化考试中，敢于猜测的考生有时也会取得较好的分数。
6、笔写时，卷面整洁，不让扣分答卷字迹工整，书写规范美观，会引起阅卷老师愉悦感，增加评定的分数;反之则会导致印象不好而扣分(特别是作文)。
7、认真检查，把好最后一关。
检查试卷要求、答题思路、解题步骤、答题结果，特别是答题卡上是否有漏划，划错，跳划等现象。
