2024年6月大学英语四级考试听力原文（第2套）News Report OneA JetBlue Airlines flight from West Palm Beach to New York City was forced to turn around and land Sunday morning after the plane struck a bird.The flight from Palm Beach International Airport to LaGuardia Airport turned around just minutes after takeoff following the strike.No injuries were reported on the plane, and the flight took off once again seven and a half hours after the first attempt."It was like a split second of panic that resulted in this nervous reaction on the plane," said passenger Brian Healy. "There was total quiet and then there was relief when the plane came to a stop."An email from JetBlue read, "Our team is working to accommodate customers on later flights."Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 1. What do we learn about the JetBlue Airlines flight from the news report?Question 2.How did the passengers feel when the plane came to a stop, according to Brian Healy?News Report TwoA deadly snake which had finally been tracked down after escaping a zoo has slipped away for the second time.The poisonous snake forced the closure of the attraction last week when staff noticed the disappearance.After six days of desperate searching, he was eventually found and placed in a supposedly secure area.But it seems the animal is no fan of the zoo because yet again he is out on the loose.The snake is a relative newcomer to the zoo but has already been frustrating its staff.The staff believe he squeezed himself out of a gap located around new energy-saving bulbs installed inside the snake house.He was only found the first time around because staff brought in a special machine to trace him inside a wall opening.This kind of snake is one of the most deadly and poisonous in the wild, and they can range from three to five metres in length.Questions 3 and 4 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 3. What do we learn about the deadly snake from the news report?Question 4. How have the zoo staff been feeling about the snake?News Report ThreeElectric bikes have been the craze in downtown Jacksonville since they were first introduced earlier this month as a one-year pilot program.But they're leading to safety concerns, mainly at night when some riders don't follow the rules of the road.As the night goes on, groups of riders are often seen traveling in just about every direction in the streets and on pedestrian paths.That is increasing the probability of dangerous accidents.Electric bike riders have to follow all the same rules as you would if you were in an automobile.That means no running red lights or traveling in the opposite direction of traffic on one-way streets.City Council member Anna Cumber was instrumental in introducing the electric bikes to Jacksonville as a way to bring new life into downtown. And she's aware of the concerns.Cumber said, "People can have fun, but both drivers and riders are responsible for paying attention while on the road. And never assume the driver is going to stop or see you."Questions 5 to 7 are based on the news report you have just heard.Question 5.What do we learn from the news report about the introduction of electric bikes into Jacksonville?Question 6. What are electric bike riders supposed to do?Question 7. Why did City Council member Anna Cumber advocate the introduction of electric bikes into Jacksonville?Conversation OneWhat's the best way to teach children how to save and spend their money?You should make money a regular topic of discussion. It's best to start young. So it's instinctive rather than a scary subject.In our family, we talk openly about things like the budget for holidays, how taxes reduce your income, and how to shop around for the best deals.Indeed. It's also essential to make money real for children through practical examples.Working out how much we save using discount pizza coupons, for example, is much more relevant than abstract sums.We also give our kids pocket money, and the amount they get is linked to chores, such as putting the bins out and emptying the dishwasher.We do that, too. And it's paid according to their age, ￡2 for each year. So they can see some progression.Teaching them to save is important. We opened the savings account when they were young.After birthdays and Christmas, they would go to the branch and deposit their gift money.Oh, I hadn't considered doing that. In our house, we have transparentmoney boxes for them to put small change in. So they can see their savings grow.When the time is right, I'll start talking to our children about investing and show them how the money saved for their further education has grown.I am always talking to my elder daughter about the importance of saving into a pension.She's just started a part-time job and was thinking of not contributing to her pension. Luckily, I managed to persuade her otherwise.Yes, it's such an important lesson to learn.Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 8. What should we do with the topic of money according to the woman?Question 9.How does the woman say money can be made real for children?Question 10.What is the common practice between the man and the woman?Question 11. What is the woman always talking about to her elder daughter?Conversation TwoWelcome to Books in Review. Our guest today is John Banks, the author of the bestselling new book. Glad to be here, Jane.Your book has sold 2,000,000 copies. But before we discuss why it's getting so much attention, let's talk about your background.You're an economist and spent two decades teaching at universities?I spent 25 years as a professor actually, and then for the last 10 years, I've worked as a political consultant, advising politicians at the national level about problems in our country.You discuss three of those problems in the book, improving public education, reducing our nation's health care burden, and increasing personal savings.But your ideas about education are the most controversial.Absolutely. A lot of people think I'm trying to punish students who aren't doing well, when actually my goal is to give all students more incentive to succeed.I'm not sure I agree with you. Your proposal to pay cash rewards to students who get good grades is a particular problem.What about students who don't get good grades? It seems like you're blaming them for not succeeding when poor performance in school isn't the child's fault.But my proposal is not just to reward students with good grades, but also students who show improvement.Okay. Another criticism of the plan is the cash rewards themselves. Where will the money come from?If students do better, we'll spend less on schooling. So in the end,the rewards will pay for themselves.What about now? How will we fund the rewards in the meantime?Well, by increasing taxes or moving money from other areas of the budget into education.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question 12. What do we learn about the man?Question 13. What does the woman say is the most controversial?Question 14. What does the man say is his real goal?Question 15.What will be one option for funding the proposed rewards according to the man?Passage OneI met three different people today, and each time, when I asked, "How are you?" The reply was exactly the same, "I'm busy".Honestly, I hear the same answer from the vast majority of people I meet. So I started to think: "Guess what? Everybody's busy!"I'm busy, you're busy, everybody's busy. So you being busy doesn't make me sympathetic at all. Because "busy" is the state of the world.So I'm launching a campaign to stop people complaining about being "busy". It may sound harsh, but the truth is, nobody cares.In a busy world, "being busy" doesn't stand out, nor does it mean productive, creative, accomplished, or professional.Steve Maraboli once said, "When someone tells you they are too busy... It's not a reflection of their schedule; it's a reflection of YOUR spot on their schedule."Donna Lynn Hope has also remarked, "Busy doesn't mean better. I've never envied a busy person—the one who likes to point out their busy lives to others."The reality is, nobody's too busy—It's just about priorities. So the next time someone asks you how you are, maybe respond differently.In my experience, the "I'm busy" response is really covering up the fact that they're not actually accomplishing their real purpose.And "being busy" is the lie they tell themselves about why they can't achieve it.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 16. Why is the speaker launching a campaign?Question 17. What does the speaker advise us to do next time someone asks us how we are?Question 18.Why do many people make the "I'm busy" response, according to the speaker?Passage TwoMore and more people are taking up extreme sports like snowboarding, skateboarding, mountain biking, and many more. Why are these sportsbecoming so popular?One thing that extreme sports do better than perhaps anything else is to help you stop being afraid.It may sound strange to say that their main function is to induce fear, but after a time, your fear response to other things in life will be dramatically reduced.After all, if you can jump out of a plane or off a bridge, then you can face anything else easily. When doing extreme sports, you have to become more focused.You'll be pushed to your limits. And if you aren't focused, you'll make dangerous mistakes.Learning to be this focused when enjoying extreme sports will help you to be focused at work, keeping you more productive and ultimately more successful.It's great to stay fit and healthy, but standard exercise routines and sports only work the same muscles repeatedly.With extreme sports, you'll be working entirely different muscles, and that means you get an all-over workout.Extreme sports also burn a lot more calories than other sports. Skateboarding, for example, can burn as many as 500 calories per hour. Basketball burns around 300 in the same time.When you find that you can overcome the physical or mental challenges involved in extreme sports, you'll feel superhuman and your self-confidence will be at an all-time high.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 19. What may sound strange to say about extreme sports?Question 20. Why should one be highly focused when doing extreme sports?Question 21. How can extreme sports benefit us more than standard exercise routines and sports?Passage ThreeMost of us have been in teams or organizations where we've had conflict with the people that we're working with around the ideas or decisions that we're discussing.Conflict is natural. We all bring different life and work experiences to the table. We all have different personality preferences and tendencies.We're not all going to have the same ideas on how to approach policies, programs, or problems.But too often we get caught in this place where conflict is perceived to be negative — something we want to avoid so that we can maintain the harmony of our workplace.This could be because some people want to avoid conflict at all costs,after all they still have to work together. But this kind of artificial harmony isn't the answer.Productive conflict is a vital part of teams and organizations that want to push forward and do more.Without conflict, we're often stuck in this artificial harmony where people don't express potentially innovative ideas for fear that they may start conflict with others.But if you're in a place where you have a basis of trust, conflict can be extremely productive. It can lead to increased innovation and greater trust on teams.It may be an uncomfortable process, but good leaders and healthy teams recognize that productive and healthy conflict is an important part of how they function.Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.Question 22.What does the passage say about conflict in organizations?Question 23. Why do some people want to avoid conflict at all costs?Question 24.Why is productive conflict important for teams and organizations?Question 25. What does productive conflict need as a basis?。

Doesn’t the size of the daily paper surprise you?M: Yes, it certainly does. The newspaper staff — the reporters, writers, editors, and linotype operators — must be busy continuously. They need a large ci rculation to support such a staff, don’t they?W: I’m sure they do. Of course, much of a newspaper’s income comes from advertisements.M: That’s true. You try to read the whole paper, don’t you?W: No. I just read the parts that interest me. I glance at the headlines, but I read the sports page and the business section carefully. Do you read those?M: No, but I do read the editorials and the news section. You saw the article about the earthquake in Japan, didn’t you? W: Yes. That was a terrible disaster. Do you think newspapers should print stories like that?M: Certainly they should! They’re part of the news of the day and people want to know about them. Don’t you agree? W: Yes, I suppose disasters are news, too. It seems to me that newspapers would be more pleasant to read if they had a large society section and more comic strips. Don’t you like to read articles about celebrations and happy events?M: Yes, I enjoy reading them. But since you don’t like to read unhappy news, why do you subscribe to two newsp apers?If I were you, I wouldn’t read a newspaper at all.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What sort of newspaper will the man buy?【解析】选[B]。
