And you'll let me pay to have your jacket cleaned, won't you?--That's all right. It could happen to anyone. And I'm sure that coffee doesn't leave lasting marks on clothing.What can we infer from the conversation?Q16.--Have you seen the movie "the departed"?

He is been calling at people's homes, saying he is check that all their appliances are safe. Then he gets around them to make him a cup of tea, and while they out of the room, he steals their money, handbag, whatever, and makes offwith it.M: But you know Jean, it's partly their own fault. They should never let anyone like that in unless you are expecting them.W: It's all very well to say that, but someone comes to the door and says electricity or gas. And you automaticallythink they are ok. Especially they flashed a card to you.M: does this man have an ID then?W: Yes, that’s just it. It seems he used to work for the electricity board at one time. According to the paper, the police are warning people especially pensioners. Not to admit anyone unless theyhave an appointment. It's a bit sad. One old lady told them, she's just been to the post office to draw her pension, when he called, she said he must followed her home. He stole the whole lot. M: but, what does he look like. Surely they must have a description.W: oh, yes. They have. Let’s see, in his 30s, tall, bushy dark hair, slight northern accent. Sounds a bit like you actually.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard19. What does the woman want the man to read in the newspaper?20. How did the man mentioned in the newspaper try to win further trust from the victims?21. What is the warning from the police?22. what does the woman speaker tell us about the old lady?Conversation twoM: Miss Jones, could you tell me more about your first job with hotel marketing concepts.W: yes, certainly. I was a marketing consultantresponsible for marketing ten UK hotels. They were all luxury hotels in the leisure sector all of very high standard.M: Which markets were you responsible for?W: For Europe and Japan.M: I see from your resumethat you speak Japanese. Have you ever been to Japan?W: Yes, I have. I spent a month in Japan in 2023. I met all the key people in the tourist industry,the big tour operators, and the tourist organizations. As I speak Japanese, I had a very big advantage.M: Yes, of course. Have you had any contact with Japan, in your present job?W: yes, I’ve had a lot. Cruises have become very popular with the Japanese both for holidays and for business conferences. In fact, the market for all types of luxury holidays for the Japanese has increased a lot recently.M: really? I’m interested to hear more about that. But first tell me have ever traveled on a l uxury train, the Orienting Expressfor example.W: no I haven’t. But I’ve traveled on the Gracial express to Switzerland, and I traveled across China by train about 8 years ago. I love train travel. That’s why I am very interested in this job. Questions 23 to 25 five are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.23. What did the woman do in her first job?24. What gave the woman an advantage during her business trip in Japan?25. Why is the woman applying for the new job?Section BPassage OneTime! I think a lot about time. And not just because it’s the name of the news organizationI work for. Like most working people, I find time or the lack of it ,a never ending frustrationand an unwinnable battle. My everyday is a race against the clock that I never, ever seem to win. This ishardly a lonesome complaint. According to the families and work institutes national study of the changing workforce, fifty-five percent of employees say they don’t have enough time for themselves, sixty-three percent don’t have enough time for their spousesor partners, and sixty-seven percent don’t have enough time for their children. It’s also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestorsreturned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts and complained about how little time they had to pay in battle scenes on their cave wars. The difference is that the boss of animal-hunting and the head of nut-gathering probably told them to shut up or no survivalfor you. Today’s workers are still demanding control over their time. The difference is today’s bosses are listening. I’ve been reading a report issued today called ‘When Work Works’ produced jointly by three organizations. They set out to find and award the employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.Questions 26~28 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.26. What is the speaker complaining about?27. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?28. Why does the speaker suggest all bosses read the report by the three organizations?Passage Two"Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get, the more you want to give." Penelope Leach once said. What she said proves to be true of my blooded family. I was born in 1931. As the youngest of six children, I learned to sharemy parents' love. Raising sixchildren during the difficult times of the Great Depression took its toll on my parents' relationship and resulted in their divorcewhen I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationships with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce. Several years later a wonderful woman came into his life, and they were married. She had two sons, one of them still at home. Under her influence, we became a “blended family” and a good relationship developed between the two families. She alwaystreated us as if we were her own children.It was because of our other mother -- Daddy's second wife -- that he became closer to his own children. They shared over twenty-five years together before our father passed away. At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother -- Daddy's first wife -- attending his funeral.I will never forget the unconditionallove shown by my stepmother when I asked her if she would object to mother attending Daddy's funeral. Without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied.“Of course not, Honey-she's the mother of my children.”Questions 29~31 are based on the passag e you’ve just heard.29. According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents' divorce?30. What brought the father closer to her own children?31. What message does the speaker want to convey in this talk?Passage ThreeIn February last year, my wife lost her job. Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died of heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close thebusiness because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy. My wife and I read the WANT ads each day.Then one morning, as I was hanging out the “going out of business” sign at the greenhouse, the door opened, and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company had just moved into the new office park on the edge of town. She was looking for pots and plants to place in the receptionareas in the offices. “I don’t know anything about plants,” she said, “I’m sure in a few weeks they’ll all be dead.”While I was helping her select her purchases, my mind was raising. Perhaps as many as a dozen firms have recently opened offices in the new office park, and there were several hundred more acreswith construction underway. That afternoon, I drove out to the office park. By 6 o’clock that evening, I had signed contracts with seven companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintainthem. Within a week, I had worked out an agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owner’s family. Business is now increasing rapidly, and one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.Questions 32~35 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.32. What do we learn about the greenhouse?33. What was the speaker doing when the customer walked in on morning?34. What did the speaker think of when serving the office manager?35. What was the speaker’s hope for the future?Section CWe are now witnessing the emergence of the advance economy based on information and knowledge: physical labor, raw materials and capital are no longer the key ingredientsin the creational wealt h. Now the vital raw material in our economy is knowledge. Tomorrow’s wealth depends on the development and exchange of knowledge. And individuals entering the workforce offer the knowledge not their muscles. Knowledge workers get paid for their education and their ability to learn. Knowledge workers engagein mind work,they deal with symbols,words,figures and data. What does all this mean for you? As a future knowledge worker,you can expect to be generating,processing as well as exchaning information. Currently, three out of four jobs involve mind work,and that number will increase sharply in the future. Management and employees alike will be making decisions in such areas as product development, quality control and customer satisfaction. In the new world of work, you can look forward to being in constant training to acquire new skills that will help you keep up with improve technologies and procedures.You can also expect to be taking greater control of your career. Gone out of the nine-to-five jobs,lifelong securtiy, predictable promotions and even the conventionalwork place as you are familiar with. Don't expect the companies will provide you with a clearly defined work path. And don't wait for someone to empoweryou, you have to empower yourself.。

Some snakes live in warm, dry deserts. Others live in green forests,fields and woodlands. Some never go far from water and are fine swimmers. Some live all their lives in the sea. Most snakes can swim. [27]Because snakes are cold-blooded and depend on warm air for comfort and existence, the largest number of snakes is found in the hottest parts of the earth. Even so, many snakes stay away from the direct rays of the sun when possible. If extra hot weather comes along, snakes find a coolest place possible and stay there. In places where it freezes, snakes often hide themselves far under the ground or in caves and stay until spring. Snakes are smart enough to stay alive. They are smart enough to find food and kill their enemies. [28]But compared with other animals, they are believed to be below average in intelligence.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. In which of the following places have snakes never been found?正确答案：D解析：短文开头就提到，除了北极地区和南太平洋的一些岛屿外，到处都有蛇类。

英语四级听力材料1. Social MediaIn today's fast-paced society, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. With the development of technology, people can now easily connect with each other through platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.One of the advantages of social media is that it allows us to keep in touch with friends and family who are far away. We can share photos, videos, and updates on our lives, and stay connected even if we are thousands of miles apart.Another advantage of social media is that it provides a platform for us to express our thoughts and opinions. We can post our thoughts on current events, share our views on different topics, and engage in discussions with others. Social media has become a powerful tool that gives a voice to everyone, no matter their background or status.However, social media also has its disadvantages. One of the main drawbacks is that it can be addictive. Many people spend hours on social media, scrolling through their news feeds and checking notifications. This addiction to social media can have negative effects on our mental health and productivity.Moreover, social media can also be a breeding ground for cyberbullying and harassment. Anyone can hide behind a screen and say hurtful things to others, leading to emotional distress and even suicide in extreme cases. It is important for social mediaplatforms to have measures in place to protect users from such harmful activities.In conclusion, social media has both advantages and disadvantages. While it allows us to connect with others and express ourselves, it can also be addictive and a source of negativity. It is up to us to use social media responsibly and ensure that it enhances our lives rather than hinders them.2. Global WarmingGlobal warming is a phenomenon that has attracted much attention in recent years. It refers to the increase in the Earth's average temperature due to the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.One of the main causes of global warming is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. When these fuels are burned, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and causing the Earth's temperature to rise.The consequences of global warming are far-reaching and severe. Rising temperatures lead to the melting of glaciers and ice caps, causing sea levels to rise. This poses a threat to coastal communities and low-lying areas, leading to flooding and the loss of habitat for many species.Global warming also disrupts ecosystems and threatens biodiversity. Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns canlead to the extinction of certain species and the spread of invasive species. This can have a ripple effect on the food chain and ultimately impact human survival.In addition, global warming can result in extreme weather events such as heatwaves, hurricanes, and droughts. These events can cause loss of life and widespread damage to infrastructure and crops, leading to economic losses and social unrest.To combat global warming, it is important for countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. This can be achieved through the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, as well as improving energy efficiency in industries and households. In conclusion, global warming is a serious issue that requires immediate action. It not only threatens the environment and biodiversity, but also has significant social and economic implications. It is crucial for individuals, governments, and businesses to work together to mitigate the effects of global warming and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come.。
