Dictation Script (Week 1-2)Passage 2A change in women’s lifeThe important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-time or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to the abilities and interests of each of them.Passage 3A popular pastime of the English peopleOne of the best means of understanding the people of any nation is watching what they do with their non-working time.Most English men, women and children love growing things, especially flowers. Visitors to England in spring, summer, or autumn are likely to see gardens all the way along the railway lines. There are flowers at the airports and flowers in factory grounds, as well as in gardens along the roads. Each English town has at least one park with beautifully kept flower beds. Public buildings of every kind have brilliant window boxes and sometimes baskets of flowers are hanging on them.But what the English enjoy most is growing things themselves. If it is impossible to have a garden, then a window box or something growing in a pot will do. Looking at each other’s gardens is a popular pastime with the English.Passage 4British and American Police OfficersReal policemen, both in Britain and the U.S., hardly recognize any common points between their lives and what they see on TV – if they ever get home in time.Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them.The first difference is that a policeman’s real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what’s more, he has to put it into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants totalk to.Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty – or not of stupid, unimportant crimes.Passage 5Living spaceHow much living space does a person need? What happens when his space needs are not met? Scientists are doing experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behaviour of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have enough living space, they eat well, sleep well and produce their young well. But if their living conditions become too crowded, their behaviour and even their health change obviously. They can not sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and worry become clear. The more crowded they are, the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus, for rats, population and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is enough space not only satisfactory, but necessary for human survival? These are interesting questions.Passage 6The United NationsIn 1945, representatives of 50 nations met to plan this organization. It was called the United Nations. After the war, many more nations joined.There are two major parts of the United Nations. One is called the General Assembly. In the General Assembly, every member nation is represented and has an equal vote.The second part is called the Security Council. It has representatives of just 15 nations. Five nations are permanent members: the United States, Russia, France, Britain, and China. The 10 other members are elected every two years by the General Assembly.The major job of the Security Council is to keep peace in the world. If necessary, it can send troops from member nations to try to stop little wars before they turn into big ones.It is hard to get the nations of the Security Council to agree on when this is necessary. But they did vote to try to stop wars.Passage 7PlasticWe use plastic wrap to protect our foods. We put our garbage in plastic or plastic cans. We sit on plastic chairs, play with plastic toys, drink from plastic cups, and wash our hair with shampoo from plastic bottles!Plastic does not grow in nature. It is made by mixing certain things together. We call it a produced or manufactured material. Plastic was first made in the 1860s from plants, such as wood and cotton. That plastic was soft and burned easily.The first modern plastics were made in the 1930s. Most clear plastic starts out as thick, black oil. That plastic coating inside a pan begins as natural gas.Over the years, hundreds of different plastics have been developed. Some are hard and strong. Some are soft and bendable. Some are clear. Some are many colored. There is a plastic for almost every need. Scientists continue to experiment with plastics. They hope to find even ways to use them!。

6年级课文听写以下是六年级课文《月光曲》的听写内容:《月光曲》一天傍晚,贝多芬在幽静的小路上散步。

他听到断断续续的钢琴声从一所茅屋里传出来,弹的正是他的曲子。

贝多芬走近茅屋,琴声忽然停了,屋子里有人在谈话。

一个姑娘说:“这首曲子多难弹啊!我只听别人弹过几遍,总是记不住该怎样弹。

要是能听一听贝多芬自己是怎样弹的,那有多好啊!”一个男的说:“是啊,可是音乐会的入场券太贵了,咱们又太穷。

”姑娘说:“哥哥,你别难过,我不过随便说说罢了。

”贝多芬听到这里,推开门,轻轻地走了进去。

茅屋里点着一支蜡烛。

在微弱的烛光下,男的正在做皮鞋。

窗前有架旧钢琴,前面坐着一个十六七岁的姑娘,脸很清秀,可是眼睛失明了。

皮鞋匠看见进来个陌生人,站起来问:“先生,您找谁?走错门了吧?”贝多芬说:“不,我是来弹一首曲子给这位姑娘听的。

”姑娘连忙站起来让座。

贝多芬坐在钢琴前面,弹起盲姑娘刚才弹的那首曲子来。

盲姑娘听得入了神,一曲弹完,她激动地说:“弹得多纯熟啊!感情多深哪!您,您就是贝多芬先生吧?”贝多芬没有回答,他问盲姑娘:“您爱听吗?我再给您弹一首吧。

”一阵风把蜡烛吹灭了。

月光照进窗子来,茅屋里的一切好像披上了银纱,显得格外清幽。

贝多芬望了望站在他身旁的兄妹俩,借着清幽的月光,按起了琴键。

皮鞋匠静静地听着。

他好像面对着大海,月亮正从水天相接的地方升起来。

微波粼粼的海面上,霎时间洒遍了银光。

月亮越升越高,穿过一缕一缕轻纱似的微云。

忽然,海面上刮起了大风,卷起了巨浪。

被月光照得雪亮的浪花,一个连一个朝着岸边涌过来……皮鞋匠看看他妹妹,月光正照在她那宁静的脸上,照着她睁得大大的眼睛。

她仿佛也看到了,看到了她从来没有看到的景象,在月光照耀下的波涛汹涌的大海。

兄妹俩被美妙的琴声陶醉了。

等他们苏醒过来,贝多芬早已离开了茅屋。

他飞奔回客店,花了一夜工夫,把刚才弹的曲子——《月光曲》记录了下来。

以上就是这篇课文的全部内容。

专四听力训练原文专业四级标准听写二十篇TEM 4 Dictation PracticesPassage 1 SaltWe do not know when man first began to use salt, / but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. / Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate slated fish. / Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to preserve the dead. /Stealing salt was considered a major crime during some periods of history. / In 18th century, for instance, / if a person was caught stealing salt, he can be put in jail. / History records that about ten thousand people were put in jail during that century for stealing salt. / About 150 years before, in the year 1553, / taking more salt that one was allowed to was punishable as a crime. / The offender’s ear was cut off.Salt was an important item on the table of royalty. / It was traditionally placed in front of the king when he sat down to eat. / Important guests at the king’s table were seated near the salt. / Less important guests were given seats farther away from it. / (175 words)Passage 2 PerceptionsAsk three people to look out of the same window at a busy street and tell you what they see. / Probably you will receive three different answers. / Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it. /Perceiving goes in our minds. / Of the three people who look out of the window / one may say that he sees a policeman giving a driver a ticket. / Another may say that he sees a rush –hour traffic jam at the street corner. / The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children. / For perception is the mind’s interpretation / of what the senses – in this case our eyes – tell us. /Many psychologists today are working to try to explain / just how a person experiences or perceive the world around him. / Using a scientific method these psychologists set up experiments: / they are trying to find out what makes different people / perceive totally different things about the same scene. / (164 words)Passage 3 BalloonsBalloons have been used for sport for about one hundred years. / There are two kinds of sport balloons: gas and hot air. / Hot air balloons are safer than gas balloons, / which may catch fire. / Hot air balloons are preferred by most balloonists in theUnited States because of their safety. / They are also cheaper and easier to manager than gas balloons. / Despite the ease of operating a balloon, / pilots must watch the weather carefully. / Sport balloon flights are best early in the morning / or late in the afternoon, when the wind is light. / Over the years, balloonists have tried unsuccessfully to cross the Atlantic. / It wasn't until 1978 that three American balloonists succeeded. / It took them just six days to make the trip / from their homes in the United States to Paris, France. / Their voyage captured the imagination of the whole world. / (143 words)Passage 4 You Found a Job, Now How do You Save Money?Saving your hard earned money can be difficult, / as most of us enjoy spending rather than saving, / I certainly had a tough time holding onto my money every payday. / When I got my first few paychecks, / right away I spent the cold, hard cash I’d earned by hard work. /But I quickly realized that this sort of spending wouldn’t really help me get the things I wanted. / So I made a pact with myself. I promise that before I did anything with the money, / I would deposit at least 50% of the money into my saving account. / That way, I eliminated the temptation to spend that money. /After I got used to saving my money, / it was much easier for me not to be tempted to buy things when I saw them. / WhenI saw a CD or video game that looked appealing, / I learned to ask myself, “Do I really need this?” / Asking this question helped me appreciate my money and not let it slip out of my wallet quite so fast. / (173 words)Passage 5 Online Health ForumThere are many aspects to health, illness and healing. / Among all the teachings there is one theme that is universal to them all / and that is the unquestionable benefit achieved by communicating with others about health and its related issues. / It is with this single philosophy in mind / that we have developed this site as a forum for communication. / Dealing with a medical concern is often difficult. / Connecting with others who are going through the same thing / can make a world of difference. / Our mission is to develop online communities to help you make those connections. / You can post questions, comments and respond to messages from others. / We’ve got various topics, and we’re adding more all the time. / If you don’t see the topic you are looking for, / just let us know and we will consider a message board for it. / We hope you decide to become a regular participant / and help to make this a great resource. / (158 words)Passage 6 WordsHow men first learn to invent words is unknown, / in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. / All we really knowthat is men, unlike animals, / somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, / actions and things, so that they can communicate with each other; / and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, / which could be represent those sounds, and which could be written down. / Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, wer call words. / The power of words, then lies in their associations, / that is, the things they bring up before our minds. / Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; / and the longer wer live, the more we reminded of the glad and sad events / of our past by certain words wer read and learn, / the more the number of the words / that means something to us increase. / (149 words)Passage 7 Teacher-student RelationshipThe relationship between a teacher and a student can be either good or bad, helpful or harmful. / Either way, the relationship can affect the student for the rest of his life. / A good teacher-student relationship will make the teacher’s job worthwhile. / A bad relationship can discourage the student from learning / and make teaching an unpleasant task. /In order to have a good teacher-student relationship, / respect between teacher and student is very important. / If the teacher is too strict, he frightens the student. / If the teacher is too friendly, the student may become lazy and stop lear ning hard. / The teacher’s attitude and approach shouldbe in between those two extremes. / As for the student, his proper respect to the teacher must be shown all the time. / He should be eager to learn and willing to work hard. /In conclusion, a good teacher-student relationship can be beneficial to both. / The student absorbs knowledge eagerly and enjoyable, / and the teacher gains satisfaction from his work. / (163 words)Passage 8 NearsightednessWeak eyesight is a term that is generally used to refer to nearsighted eyes. / People who are nearsighted can see well at a short range, / but anything very far away is likely to be unclear. / The term “weak eyesight” is misleading, / for in nearsighted eyes the lens of the eye is actually too strong. / The nearsighted lens is so powerful that it focuses the light coming onto the eye so quickly. / Nearsightedness is common, and its growth may be graded; / often the unclearness of distant object is so slight at first / that a person may not recognize the condition. /Nearsightedness is frequently discovered first at school. / It is here that a student first realizes the difficulty of seeing words on the blackboard, / whereas others in the class have no trouble reading the blackboard at all. / After discovery, nearsightedness can easily be corrected. / You just needs a pair of glasses / which can decrease the power of the lens of theeye. / (161 words)Passage 9 Rice CookingRice is very much under appreciated in the United States. / With the exception of Asian cooking, / rice is usually a side dish or combined with other ingredients. / Rice is very nutritious, low cost and easy-to prepare food. / There are different types of rice available and the cooking time varies by type of rice. / Follow the package instructions for the amount of liquid necessary and the cooking times. / Both vary for each type of rice. / Regular white rice has been milled / to remove the hull comes in long, medium and short grains. / Long grained rice is the best for all-purpose use. / Brown rice has a pleasant nutty flavor and a firmer texture. / While white rice is cooked in about 15 minutes, / brown rice takes 45 to 50 minutes to cook. / When cooking rice do not be concerned if you have cooked rice left over. / There are some excellent recipes, which use cooked rice. / (151 words)Passage 10 First Sign of AIDSThe virus causing AIDS enters the blood and quickly penetrates certain white cells in the body. / At first there is often little or no trace of the virus at all. / This situation usually lasts for six to twelve weeks. / During this time the person is free of symptoms / and antibody tests are negative. / The first thing that happens after infection / is that many people develop a flue-like illness. / This may be severe enoughto look like glandular fever / with swollen glands in the neck and armpits, / tiredness, fever and night sweats. / Some of those white cells are dying, / virus is being released, / and for the first time the body is working hard to make correct antibodies. / At this stage the blood test will usually become positive. / Most people do not realize what is happening, / although when they later develop AIDS they look back / and remember it clearly. / Most people have produce antibodies in about twelve weeks. / (156 words)Passage 11 The Library of CongressThe Library of Congress is the national library of the United States. / It was founded in 1800 to serve the needs of the congressmen. / Today, it contains books, articles and documents on every subject imaginable. / Besides senators, congressmen and other government officials, / it serves libraries, researchers, artists and scientists throughout the country and the world. /The Library is one of the largest libraries in the world. / It has a collection of 74 million items which are housed in three buildings. / The bookshelves stretch for 350 miles. / Of the 18 million books, more than half are in languages other than English. /The main reading room is a great hall of marble pillars. / It is the center of activity in the library. / There is a computer catalog center with six terminals for quick access toinformation. / For greater speed and efficiency, / the library has installed an electric book –carrying system / that carries books from one building to another in only a few seconds. / (160 words)Passage 12 A Car Soccer RaceAmerican football is different from the European football / and some people think that it is better. / Now there’s a new kind of football or soccer which is played in America. / It’s called car soccer. / The players drive small cars, which are called Beetles. / The players try to catch the ball in their cars. / The cars are protected all since they often crash into each other. / The ball is larger than the usual one and the players are protected, too. / In 1985, the First European car soccer match took place in West Germany. / Teams from some countries in European played in the match. / The Beetles raced around the ground madly / while the spectators shouted “The ball is behind you”. / When the match ended, three cars had been crashed into pieces. / And the players as well as many of the spectators were badly hurt and had to be taken to hospital. / Will this car soccer become as popular as football? I doubt. / (160 words)Passage 13 Changes of Family LifeThe concept of family life has changed considerably over the years. / In earliest times, several generations lived togetherin clans, / which consisted of all living descendents and their husbands or wives. / These clans were almost totallyself-sufficient, / every member contributing in some way toward the survival of the group. / The men hunted and fished for food or sometimes maintained flocks of sheep or goats. / The women baked bread and roasted the meat their men provided. / Special members of the community were selected to make products like pottery, baskets and home weapons. / But with the development of greater varieties of food, clothing and shelter, / a single clan could no longer develop all the individual skills the group required. / Clans merged into larger societies and at the same time broke into smaller units consisting of married couples and their children. / Later the Industrial Revolution brought about even more important changes in family life. / New inventions brought shorter working hours for men and easier housekeeping routines for women. / Today a productive family life suggests not the group’s cooperative efforts of working together, / but the pleasant and meaningful sharing of its leisure. / (185 words)Passage 14 VitaminsIt was not until the beginning of this century that it was recognized / that certain substances were essential in the diet to prevent or cure some diseases. / These substances are now known as vitamins. / They are vital for growth, good health, / and maintenance of the normal functions of the body. / A well-balanced diet should provide all the vitamins we normally require. / Those of us who are fortunate enough to be able to buy sufficient food / should not suffer from vitamin deficiency./ However, for various reasons, / some people do not maintain a balanced diet. / People often lose their appetite because of illness. / People living alone may not bother to eat proper meals, / and people on a diet may not eat sufficient quantities of necessary foods. / Moreover, modern methods of preserving, freezing, and long-term storage of food, / together with overcooking, can destroy many of the vitamins. / (145 words)Passage 15 CometsIn recent years scientists’ investigation of comets has increased / because of growing interest in the origin of the sun and planets. / Scientists want to learn how comets are formed. / They think that such information will help explain the origin of the solar system. / The word “comet” comes from Greek and means “hairy object”. / In history comets have a special place. / People believed that they brought news of death, destruction or military victories. / The tails of comets provide viewers with spectacular sights at night. / Comet tails are millions of kilometers long. / The tails frequently reach lengths of 250 million kilometers and more. / The most famous comet of history is called Halley’s Comet, which appears every 76 years. / It was named for Edward Halley, a British astronomer. / He predicted the appearance of the comet in 1758, 16 years after his deat h. / Halley’s Comet is extremely bright and has two tails. / In the 20th century it returned in 1910 and 1986. / (159 words)Passage 16 Mobile Phone EtiquetteThe mobile phone has created a new way of life. / It gives us the opportunity to reach people when and wherever we like. / But when mobile phones become as commonplace as wristwatches, / it seems they are creating embarrassing situations. / People let their phones ring in restaurants, theaters or business meetings. / People loudly discuss very personal issues over their phones while strangers are around them. / People spend all their time in the presence of friends / paying more attention to those at the other end of their mobile phones. / By now, everyone knows that mobile phone etiquette is a real problem. / These are tips for being a good mobile citizen. / Firstly, remember to check your phone is off at activities. / Secondly, respect the people around you when you make or take calls in public. / Thirdly, don’t answer your c ell phone while talking with another person / unless that phone call is more important than the person you are with. / Follow these rules and you’ll be a responsible mobile phone user by being considerate to others.Passage 17 Reduce, Reuse and RecycleIn recent years there has been an increase awareness of the importance of recycling. / The three Rs to keep in mind / for a cleaner environment are: reduce, reuse, and recycle. / Reducing is the best way to protect the environment. / However, if you can’t reduce something, reuse it and if you can’t reuse it, recycle it. / Reducing waste means shopping with the environment in mind. / Consider the environmental impact ofeach product before you buy it. / Make a list of what you need before you go shopping; / this will reduce impulse buying. / Avoid buying things that can’t be recycled. / Learning to reuse is easy after a little practice. / For example, you can reuse shopping bags. / Buy durable, high quality goods for a longer life outside the landfill. / Although durable goods may cost a little more at first, / they will save your money and help save the environment in the long run. / Before throwing anything away, think about how each item can be reused. / (162 words)Passage 18 Mercy KillingSome people hold that for patients with painful and terminal disease mercy killing is a solution, / for it will allow them to die a peaceful death and it seems to benefit everybody: / the patients themselves, their relatives, the medical staff, / and the patients who are waiting for hospital beds. / But mercy killing is still a controversial issue. / Those who are strongly against it hold / that the possibility of abuse will expose sick people to all kinds of danger. / At present, many societies and organization have been formed in the world to promote mercy killing / but in no country has it been legalized. / However, in the Netherlands the society and the courts tend to tolerate doctor-assisted suicide / if strict criteria are met. / In 1995 about 2.3% of all Dutch deaths, or 3118 cases, / were attributed to mercy killing by government studies. / A few cases of mercy killing are also reported in the U.S. / although the majority of the public are against it. / (161 words)Passage 19 WorryWorry is like blood pressure. / You need a certain level to live, but too much can kill you. / People who worry too much suffer. / For all their hard work, for all their humor and willingness to laugh at themselves, / for all theirself-awareness, worries just cannot achieve peace of mind. / Worry is amazingly common. / At least one in four of us –about 65 million Americans / –will meet the criteria for an anxiety disorder at some point in our lifetime. / Even those individuals whose lives are going well / may worry excessively on occasion. / And yet, worry is a very treatable condition. / Most people today are not aware of all that we have learned about worry in the last 50 years. / We’ve come to understand different types of worry and the underlying triggers. / Worry may accompany simple shyness, depression of generalized anxiety disorder. / Each kind of worry responds to specific and powerful techniques. / (151 words)Passage 20 The Attitude of GratitudeThanksgiving Day is a day for giving thanks to family and friends in the United States. / Some people think Thanksgiving is the most important holiday of the year / because they believe the two most important words in the English are “thank you”. / For business success, a “thank you” tells a prospect or partner / that you are appreciative of what he has just done. / And that means you have an interest in that person / and the business relationship as well. / For social interaction,expressing gratitude is equally important to show / how you value the other person and the social relationship you have with him. / Therefore, “thank you” is a bonding phrase. / Additionally, giving thanks is most important for out own pursuit of happiness. / Whatever you have, you can either appreciate of not. / If you appreciate it and really notice that you have it, it will bring you happiness. / However, if you take it for granted, and focus on things you don’t have, / what you do have won’t bring you hap piness. / (169 words)。

英语专业四级考试历年听写原文(1993年——2006年)Package Holidays (1993)Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive place, are increasingly popular. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination.Everything is laid on for you.There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother to arrange anything yourselve s.You make friends and have a good time. But there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people.This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you s pend almost your entire time traveling.Of c ourse, there are carefully planned stops for you to visit historic buildings and monument s. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, t he ancient. But time is always short.There i s also the added disadvantage of being oblig ed to spend you holiday with a group of pe ople you have never met before.The American Family (1994)The American family unit is changing. There used to be mainly two types of famili es, the extended and the nuclear. The forme r included mother, father, children, and som e other relatives such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby. Then as the economy progressed from agricultural to ind ustrial, people began moving to different par ts of the country in order to search for job opportunities. These moves split up the exte nded family.The nuclear family consisting o f only parents and children has therefore be come far more wide spread. Today’s family, however, can be composed of diverse combi nations. With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there's an increase in single-parent ho mes—a father or mother living with one or more children.Blended families occur when divorced men and women remarry and com bine the children from former marriages into a new family. On the other hand, there is an increase in childless couples while one i n rive Americans lives alone.Unidentified Flying Objects (1995)There are many explanations for why U FOs visit the Earth. / The most popular one is that they maybe visitors from other plan ets./ To fly such aircraft, their builders must develop different forms of aviation,/because they seem to fly much faster than normal ai rcraft./ The UFOs, it is believed, must contai n scientists/ from other planets who are stud ying life on earth./ It is even believed that s everal such aircraft may have landed on ear th/ and the space visitors may be living amo ngst us./ But there are also less fantastic ex planations available./ Although some sighting s of UFOs are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily./ In many cases th e observers might have made a mistake./ Th ey might have seen a weather balloon or anaircraft./ Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground,/ refl ected on to the clouds./ However, the exact cause of many sightings still remained a mys tery.The Indian Medicine Man (1996)Among the Indians of North America, t he medicine man was a very important pers on. He could cure illness and he could spea k to the spirits. The spirits were the supern atural forces that controlled the world. The Indians believed that bad spirits made peopl e ill. So when people were ill, the medicine man tried to help them by using magic. He spoke to the good spirits and asked for thei r help. Many people were cured, because th ey thought the spirits were helping them, bu t really these people cured themselves. Somet imes your own mind is the best doctor for you. The medicine men were often successful for another reason, too. They knew about plants that really can cure illness. A lot ofmedicines are made from the plants that we re used by medicine men hundred of years ago.Legal Age for Marriage (1997)Throughout the United States, the legal age for marriage shows some difference. The most common age without parents’ consent is 18 for both females and males. However, persons who are under age in their home s tate can get married in another state, and t hen return to the home state legally married. Each state issues its own marriage license. Both residents and non-residents are qualifie d for such a license. The fees and ceremonie s vary greatly from state to state. Most state s, for instance, have a blood test requiremen t, but a few do not. Most states permit eith er a civil or religious ceremony, but a few r equire the ceremony to be religious. In most states a waiting period is required before t he license is issued. This period is from oneto five days depending on the state. A thre e-day-wait is the most common. In some stat es there is no required waiting period.The Railways in Britain (1998)The success of early railways, such as t he lines between big cities,/ led to a great in crease in railway building in Victorian times. / Between 1835 and 1865 about 25000 kilo meters of track were built,/ and over 100 ra ilway companies were created. /Railway travel transformed people's lives. / Trains were first designed to carry goods. / However, a law in the 19th century force d railway companies to run one cheap train a day / which stopped at every station and cost only a penny a mile. / Soon working c lass passengers found they could afford to tr avel by rail. / Cheap day excursion trains b ecame popular and seaside resorts grew rapi dly. / The railways also provided thousands of new jobs:/ building carriages, running therailways and repairing the tracks. / Railwa ys even changed the time. / The need to run the railways on time meant that local time was abolished/ and clocks showed the same t ime all over the country. /United Nations Day(1999)The 24th of October is celebrated as Un ited Nations Day. h is a day that belongs to everyone. And it is celebrated in most coun tries of the world. Some countries celebrate for a week instead of a day. In many parts of the world, schools have special programs for the day. Boys and girls in some commun ities decorate a UN tree. In other communiti es, young people put on plays about the UN. Some libraries exhibit childr en’s art worksth the songs and dances of other countries o r give parties where foods of other countries are served. No matter how the day is celeb rated, the purpose of these celebrations is to help everyone understand the UN, and the important roles it plays in world affairs. Th e UN encourages people to learn about othe r lands and their customs. In this way, peop le can gain a better understanding and appr eciation of peoples all over the world.What We Know About Language(2000) Many things about language are a mys tery and will remain so. However, we now d o know something about it. First, we know t hat all human beings have a language of so me sort. No human race anywhere on earth is so backward that it has no language of i ts own at all. Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many phe languages they speak are by no means p rimitive. In all the languages existing in the world today, there are complexities that mus t have been developed for years. Third, we know that all languages are perfectly adequa te. Each is a perfect means of expressing its culture. And finally, we know that language changes over time, which is natural and no rmal if a language is to survive. The langua ge which remains unchanged is nothing but dead.Characteristics of A Good Reader(2001) To improve your reading habits, you must understand the characteristics of a goo d reader. First, the good reader usually read s rapidly. Of course, he does not read every piece of material at the same rate. But whe ther he is reading a newspaper or a chapterely fast. He has learned to read for ideas ra ther than words one at a time. Next, the go od reader can recognize and understand gen eral ideas and specific details. Thus he is ab le to comprehend the material with a minim um of effort and a maximum of interest. Fi nally, the good reader has in his command s everal special skills, which he can apply to r eading problems as they occur. For the colle ge student, the most helpful of these skills i nclude making use of the various aids to un derstanding that most text books provide an d skim-reading for a general survey. Disappearing Forests(2002)The world’s forests are disappearing. Aen lost since agriculture began some 10,000 years ago. The remaining forests are home t o half of the world’s species, thus becoming the chief resource for their survival. Tropica l rain forests once covered 12% of the land of the planet, as well as supporting at least half of the world’s species of plants and an imals. These rain forests are home to million s of people. But there are other demands on them. For example, much has been cut for timber. An increasing amount of forest lan d has been used for industrial purposes or f or agricultural development such as crop-gro wing. By the 1990’s less than half of the ear th’s original rain forests remained, and they continued to di sapp ear at an alarming rate every year. As a result the world’s forests are now facing gradual extinction.Salmon (2003)Every year, millions of salmon swim fro m the ocean into the mouths of rivers and t hen steadily up the rivers. Passing through waters, around rocks and waterfalls, the fish finally reach their original streams or lakes. They dig out nests in the riverbed and lay their eggs. Then, exhausted by their journe y, the parent salmon die. They have finished the task that nature has given them. Month s, or years later, the young fish start their t rip to the ocean. They live in the salt water from 2-7 years, until they, too are ready to swim back to reproduce. Their life cycle he lps man provide himself with a basic food-fi sh. When the adult salmon gather at the riv er mouths for the annual trip up the rivers, they are in the best possible condition, and nearly every harbor has its salmon fishing fleet ready to catch thousands for markets. Money (2004)Money is accepted across the world as payment for goods or services. People use m oney to buy food, clothes and hundreds of o ther things. In the past, many different thin gs were used as money. People on Pacific isl ands once exchanged shells for goods. The C hinese used cloth and knives. In Africa, elep hant tusks or salt were used. Even today, so me people in Africa are still paid in salt. C oins were first invented by the Chinese. Ori ginally, they were round pieces of metal wit h a hole in the center, so that a piece of str ing could keep them together. This made doi ng business much easier, but people still fou nd coins inconvenient to carry when they w anted to buy something expensive. To solve t his problem, the Chinese again came up wit h the solution. They began to use paper mo ney for coins. Now paper notes are used thr oughout the world.The Wrist Watch (2005)It is generally believed that wrist watch es are an exception / to the normal sequenc e in the evolution of man's jewelry. / Revers ing the usual order, they were first worn by women, / and then adopted by men. / In t he old days, queens included wrist watches a mong their crown jewelry. / Later, they wer e worn by Swiss workers and farmers. / Unt il World War I, Americans associated the w atch with fortune hunters. / Then army offic ers discovered that the wrist watch was mos t practical for active combat. / Race car dri vers also loved to wear wrist watches, / and pilots found them most useful while flying. / Soon men dared to wear wrist watches wit hout feeling self-conscious. / By 1924, some 30 percent of man's watches were worn on tAnd they are now worn by both men and women / for practical purposes rather than for decoration.The Internet (2006)The Internet is the most significant prog ress in the field of communications. / Imagin e a book that never ends, a library with a million floors, / or imagine a research projec t with thousands of scientists / working arou nd the clock forever. / This is the magic of the Internet. / Yet the Internet has the pote ntial for good and bad. / One can find well-organized, information-rich websites. / At the same time, one can also find wasteful websi tes. / Most websites are known as different I nternet applications. / These include online g ames, chat rooms (chatrooms) and so on. / These applications have great power, too. / Sometimes the power can be so great / that young people may easily become victims tothe seriousness of the problem. / We must w ork together to use its power for better end s.专业四级标准听写二十篇TEM 4 Dictation Practices Passage 1SaltWe do not know when man first began to use salt, / but we do know that it has b een used in many different ways throughout history. / Historical evidence shows, for exa mple, that people who lived over

three people to look out of the same window at a busy street and tell you what t hey see. / Probably you will receive three di fferent answers. / Each person sees the samescene, but each perceives

he s ees a rush –hour traffic jam at the street c orner. / The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with fo ur children. / For perception is the mind’s i nterpretation / of what the senses –in this case our eyes –tell us. /Many psychologists today are working to t ry to explain / just how a person experience s or perceive the world around him. / Using a scientific method these psychologists set u p experiments: / they are trying to find out what makes different people / perceive totall y different things about the same scene. / (1 64 words)Passage 3 Ball oonsBalloons have been used for sport for a bout one hundred years. / There are two ki nds of sport balloons: gas and hot air. / Hot air balloons are safer than gas balloons, / which may catch fire. /

/ I would deposit at least 50% of the money into my saving account. / That w ay, I eliminated the temptation to spend that money. /After I got used to saving my money, / it was much easier for me not to be tempted t o buy things when I saw them. / When I sa w a CD or video game that looked appealin g, / I learned to ask myself, “Do I really ne ed this?” / Asking this question helped me a ppreciate my money and not let it slip out of my wallet quite so fast. / (173 words) Passage 5 Online He alth ForumThere are many aspects to health, illness a nd healing. / Among all the teachings there is one

agreed upon certain signs, called letter s, / which could be represent those sounds, and which could be written down. / Those s ounds, whether spoken or written in letters, wer call words. / The power of words, then lies in their associations, / that is, the things they bring up before our minds. / Words b ecome filled with meaning for us by experie nce; / and the longer wer live, the more we

The most common age without parents’ consent is 18 for both females and males. However, persons who are under age in their home state can get married in another state, and then return to the home state legally married. Each state issues its own marriage license. Both residents and non-residents are qualified for such a license. The fees and ceremonies vary greatly from state to state. Most states, for instance, have a blood test requirement, but a few do not. Most states permit either a civil or religious ceremony, but a few require the ceremony to be religious. In most states a waiting period is required before the license is issued. This period is from one to five days depending on the state. A three-day-wait is the most common. In some states there is no required waiting period.The Railways in Britain (1998)The success of early railways, such as the lines between big cities,/ led to a great increase in railway building in Victorian times. / Between 1835 and 1865 about 25000 kilometers of track were built,/ and over 100 railway companies were created. /Railway travel transformed people's lives. / Trains were first designed to carry goods. / However, a law in the 19th century forced railway companiesto run one cheap train a day / which stopped at every station and cost only a penny a mile. / Soon working class passengers found they could afford to travel by rail. / Cheap day excursion trains became popular and seaside resorts grew rapidly. / The railways also provided thousands of new jobs:/ building carriages, running the railways and repairing the tracks. / Railways even changed the time. / The need to run the railways on time meant that local time was abolished/ and clocks showed the same time all over the country. /United Nations Day (1999)The 24th of October is celebrated as United Nations Day. h is a day that belongs to everyone. And it is celebrated in most countries of the world. Some countries celebrate for a week instead of a day. In many parts of the world, schools have special programs for the day. Boys and girls in some communities decorate a UN tree. In other communities, young people put on plays about the UN. Some libraries exhibit children’s art works from around the world. Schools celebrate with the songs and dances of other countries or give parties where foods of other countries are served. No matter how the day is celebrated, the purpose of these celebrations is to help everyone understand the UN, and the important roles it plays in world affairs. The UN encourages people to learn about other lands and their customs. In this way, people can gain a better understanding and appreciation of peoples all over the world.What We Know About Language (2000)Many things about language are a mystery and will remain so. However, we now do know something about it. First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. No human race anywhere on earth is so backward that it has no language of its own at all. Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many peoples whose cultures are undeveloped but the languages they speak are by no means primitive. In all the languages existing in the world today, there are complexities that must have been developed for years. Third, we know that all languages are perfectly adequate. Each is a perfect means of expressing its culture. And finally, we know that language changes over time, which is natural and normal if a language is to survive. The language which remains unchanged is nothing but dead.Characteristics of A Good Reader (2001)To improve your reading habits, you must understand the characteristics of a good reader. First, the good reader usually reads rapidly. Of course, he does not read every piece of material at the same rate. But whether he is reading a newspaper or a chapter in a physics text, his reading rate is relatively fast. He has learned to read for ideas rather than words one at a time. Next, the good reader can recognize and understand general ideas and specific details. Thus he is able to comprehend the material with a minimum of effort and a maximum of interest. Finally, the good reader has in his command several special skills, which he can apply to reading problems as they occur. For the college student, the most helpful of these skills include making use of the various aids to understanding that most text books provide and skim-reading for a general survey.Disappearing Forests (2002)The world’s forests are disappearing. As much as 1/3 of the total tree cover has been lost since agriculture began some 10,000 years ago. The remaining forests are home to half of the world’s species, thus becoming the chief resource for their survival. Tropical rain forests once covered 12% of the land of the planet, as well as supporting at least half of the world’s species of plants and animals. These rain forests are home to millions of people. But there are other demands on them. For example, much has been cut for timber. An increasing amount of forest land has been used for industrial purposes or for agricultural development such as crop-growing. By the 1990’s less than half of the earth’s original rain forests remained, and they continued to disappear at an alarming rate every year. As a result the world’s forests are now facing gradual extinction.Salmon (2003)Every year, millions of salmon swim from the ocean into the mouths of rivers and then steadily up the rivers. Passing through waters, around rocks and waterfalls, the fish finally reach their original streams or lakes. They dig out nests in the riverbed and lay their eggs. Then, exhausted by their journey, the parent salmon die. They have finished the task that nature has given them. Months, or years later, the young fish start their trip to the ocean. They live in the salt water from 2-7 years, until they, too are ready to swim back to reproduce. Their life cycle helps man provide himself with a basic food-fish. When the adult salmon gather at the river mouths for the annual trip up the rivers, they are in the best possible condition, and nearly every harbor has its salmon fishing fleet ready to catch thousands for markets.Money (2004)Money is accepted across the world as payment for goods or services. People use money to buy food, clothes and hundreds of other things. In the past, many different things were used as money. People on Pacific islands once exchanged shells for goods. The Chinese used cloth and knives. In Africa, elephant tusks or salt were used. Even today, some people in Africa are still paid in salt. Coins were first invented by the Chinese. Originally, they were round pieces of metal with a hole in the center, so that a piece of string could keep them together. This made doing business much easier, but people still found coins inconvenient to carry when they wanted to buy something expensive. To solve this problem, the Chinese again came up with the solution. They began to use paper money for coins. Now paper notes are used throughout the world.The Wrist Watch (2005)It is generally believed that wrist watches are an exception / to the normal sequence in the evolution of man's jewelry. / Reversing the usual order, they were first worn by women, / and then adopted by men. / In the old days, queens included wrist watches among their crown jewelry. / Later, they were worn by Swiss workers and farmers. / Until World War I, Americans associated the watch with fortune hunters. / Then army officers discovered that the wrist watch was most practical for active combat. / Race car drivers also loved to wear wrist watches, / and pilots found them most useful while flying. / Soon men dared to wear wrist watches without feeling self-conscious. / By 1924, some 30 percent of man's watches were worn on the wrist. / Today, the figure is 90 percent. / And they are now worn by both men and women / for practical purposes rather than for decoration.The Internet (2006)The Internet is the most significant progress in the field of communications. / Imagine a book that never ends, a library with a million floors, / or imagine a research project with thousands of scientists / working around the clock forever. / This is the magic of the Internet. / Yet the Internet has the potential for good and bad. / One can find well-organized, information-rich websites. / At the same time, one can also find wasteful websites. / Most websites are known as different Internet applications. / These include online games, chat rooms (chatrooms) and so on. / These applications have great power, too. / Sometimes the power can be so great / that young people may easily becomevictims to their attraction. / So we need to recognize the seriousness of the problem. / We must work together to use its power for better ends.2007AdvertisingAdvertising has already become a specialized activity in modern times. In today’s business world, supply is usually greater than demand. There is great competition between manufacturers of the same kind of product because they want to persuade customers to buy their particular brand. They always have to remind their customers of the name and qualities of their products by advertising. The manufacture advertises in newspapers and on the radio. He sometimes employs sales girls to distribute samples of their products. He sometimes advertises on the Internet as well. In addition, he always has advertisements put into television programs that will accept them. Manufactures often spend huge sums of money on advertisements. We buy a particular product because we think that is the best. We usually think so because the advertisements say so. People often don’t ask themselves if the advertisements are telling the truth when they buy advertised products from shops.2008Choosing a CareerWhen students graduate from college, many of them do not know how they want to spend their working lives and they sometimes move from job to job, until they find something that suits them and of equal importance to which they are suited. Others never find the job in which they are really happy. They remain all their lives square pegs in round holes. When we choose our careers we need to ask ourselves two questions. First, what do we think we would like to be? Second, what kind of people are we? The idea, for example, of being a painter or a musician may seem very attractive. But unless we have great talent and are willing to work very hard, we are certain to fail in these occupations and failure will lead to unhappiness in life. So it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.2009New Year's EveFor many people in the west, New Year's Eve is the biggest party of the year. /lt's the time to get together with friends or family/and welcome in the coming year. / New Year's parties can take place in different places. /Some people hold a house party; others attend street parties;/ while some just go for a few drinks with their friends. /Big cities have large and spectacular fireworks displays. / There is one thing that all New Year's Eve parties have in common,/ the countdown to midnight./ When the clock strikes 12, people give a loud cheer and sing songs./ It's also popular to make a promise in the New Year. /This is called a New Year's resolution. / Typical resolutionsinclude giving up smoking and keeping fit. /However, the promise is often broken quite quickly /and people are back into their bad habits within weeks or days.2010 British educational systemBritain has a well-respected higher education system / and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. / But to those who are new to this system, it can sometimes be confusing. / October is usually the busiest month in the academic calendar. / Universities have something called Freshmen’s Week for their newcomers. / It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, / join lots of clubs and settle into university life. / However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, / the prospect of meeting strangers in classrooms and dormitories can be worrying. / Where do you start and who should you make friends with? / Which clubs and societies should you join? / Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you. / They worry about starting their university social life on the right foot. / So just take it all in slowly. / Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years./。
