Unit 6Section One Tactics for ListeningPart 1 Phonetics---- Stress, Intonation and AccentPeter: You've been to Zanada, haven't you?Peter: Oh yes, I remember. You went a couple of years ago, didn't you ?Peter: Now, let's see ... It's er, it's a mainly agricultural country, isn't it?Peter: Well yes, I know, but there's not much industry once you've left the coast, is there?Peter: I see ... Mm, so the North would be the best place to go to, wouldn't it?Peter: Yeah. Mind you, I should think the South is very beautiful, isn't it?Peter: (laughs) Yeah. That's right. Oh and what about transport? It'd be better to hire a car, wouldn't it?Peter: Really? That's cheap. It costs that much a day here, doesn't it? Peter: Yeah, well that's fine, Maggie. Thanks a lot. Bye.Part 2 Listening and Note-takingIdentifying CriminalsCan computers help the police to identify criminals? Experts nowthink computers can make it easier for the police to find people they want to question.At the present, the system most widely used by the British police is called Photofit. Witnesses describe a suspect and then a picture is built up like a jigsaw（锯曲线机）, using five different sets of features. These are: hairs, eyes, nose, mouth and chin. This system can be very useful in finding criminals, but only in one case out of twenty. Quite often, almost half the time, in fact, Photofit pictures are misleading. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, the picture may look nothing at all like the suspect. Secondly, likeness may be so general that it is not at all helpful. And unfortunately, a bad likeness can lead to the arrest of an innocent person.Witness’s attitudes can influence their descriptions. In a recent experiment, a group of people was shown a picture of a man and told that he was a mass murderer. When asked to produce Photofit pictures of this man, they made pictures that showed a murderous-looking individual. But at the same time, a second group was shown the same picture and told that the same man was a lifeboat captain who had received a medal for bravery. When the second group produced Photofit pictures, these showed a man who was handsome and well-groomed.The police have another way of identifying criminals. Policerecords contain tens of thousands of photographs of people convicted of crimes. Witnesses can look through these in the hope of recognising suspects; however, it has been discovered that a witness begins to forget the culprit's (criminal) features after spending a long time looking through these photographs.The computer system called FRAME (Face Retrieval and Matching Equipment) combines the best features of both methods. All the photographs on record are put on the computer file. When a witness describes a suspect, the computer searches the file for photographs that fit the description.. The witness is then presented with a small number of photographs to look through.Of course, this system, as it exists at present, will only help to identify people whose photographs are already on police files. So now, experts have to work on the problem of getting accurate descriptions from witnesses. One thing they have discovered is that witnesses give better descriptions when they are encouraged to recall the scene of the crime. They do not need to go there: just imagining the scene works just as well.Exercise A:1. Computers can make it easier for the police to find people theywant to question.2. A bad likeness can lead to the arrest of an innocent person.3. A witness begins to forget the culprit's features after spending a long time looking through these photographs.4. Experts have to work on the problem of getting accurate descriptions from witnesses.5.

I mean, some people believe anything, don’t they? Well, it doesn't make sense, does it?Things flying around in the sky, coming down from another planet and all that? No, I think when the scientists say it's happened and we can explain how it happened -- I mean, when we have some real proof, then I'll believe it.B: There could be some truth in it, but I tend to think it's just a tourist attraction. I can't explain the photographs. And then there are the photographs of "Bigfoot," the erm, er, Abominable Snowman* in the mountains of India. Well, that's the same sort of thing. I suppose it could be true, but it's the same with all these stories, you'd like to see it for yourself before you believe it.C：Oh, yes. They definitely exist. Yes, I believe that some people come back to haunt* us. I mean, we've all had strange feelings about people who are no longer with us, or strange feelings about certain places. I think those feelings are a kind of ghost. We don't always see something, you know, in a long white dress going "whooo-ooo" in the middle of the night, but we can have strong feelings about the past. Some people have very strong feelings so they actually begin to see things, something moving, a shape, alight, I don't know. Scientific facts can't explain everything in this world, you know.ExerciseＡ：１．Probably some photographs of mysterious shapes, footprints or that sort of things.2. The first speaker.Exercise B:1. I only believe things when there is real proof or scientificexplanation.2. People sometimes just duplicate old mysterious stories in a newsetting to attract tourists.3. There do exist ghosts. When people have a very strong feelingabout the past, they begin to see ghosts.Dialogue 2 Unidentified Flying ObjectsInterviewer: Mr Burton, you say that you have seen a UFO. Is that right?Mr Burton: Yes, absolutely right. It happened just over a year ago. Interviewer: And where was this?Mr Burton: Near my home in Aldershot, in the south of England. I live near the big military base in Aldershot. Interviewer: What time of day was it?Mr Burton: It was about one o'clock in the morning. I was out fishing.The weather forecast said it was going to be a warm, clearnight with no clouds, and that's perfect for fishing. Interviewer: And what happened?Mr Burton: Well, I saw a bright light coming towards me at about three hundred feet, and then itstarted to land. It was behind some trees, but I could seeit clearly because there was a full moon. Then I saw twoforms coming towards me, and when they were about fivefeet away, they just stopped and looked at me for a goodten or fifteen seconds.Interviewer: What did they look like?Mr Burton: They were quite small, about four feet tall, dressed in green suits from head to foot, and they had helmets of thesame colour with a red visor*, so I couldn't see their faces.They both carried space guns.Interviewer: Did they speak to you?Mr Burton: Yes. The one on the right said "Come this way, please." Interviewer: Weren't you frightened? ... I mean, weren't you surprised that they spoke English.Mr Burton: They spoke in a funny accent. It sounded more like a machine talking than a person.No, I wasn't frightened. I don't know why. The one whospoke started to walk towards the light, and I followedhim, with the other one behind me. We got to a wall andthe first "form" just walked through it! I couldn't believeit! 1 had to climb over it, and then we got to thespaceship.Interviewer: What did that look like?Mr Burton: It was about forty-five feet across, and silver, very, very shiny, and there were round windows all round the side. Interviewer: Did you go inside?Mr Burton: Yes, I did. There were steps going up, and we went into an octagonal* room. I stood there for about ten minutes.The walls, the floor, and the ceiling were all black, lcouldn't see any controls or instruments, but there was acentral column going up from the floor to the ceiling,about four feel wide, right in the middle of the room. Interviewer: Were there any more of these "forms"?Mr Burton: No, just the two. Suddenly, one of them said "Stand under the red light." I couldn'tsee any red light, but then 1 moved to the right and 1could see it up on the wall, justunder the ceiling. I stood there for about five minutes,and then a voice said "What is your age?" I said"Seventy-four." Then they told me to turn around. Afterabout five more minutes one of them said "You can go.You are too old and ill for our purposes." So I left andwent back, to the river.Interviewer: Did the spaceship take off?Mr Burton: Yes, I heard a very high-pitched noise, like a scream, and the thing took off straight into the sky anddisappeared. I sat by the river and watched it go. Thiswas about two o'clock.Interviewer: Then what did you do'?Mr Burton: Next morning I went to the police, and in the afternoon someone from the Ministry ofDefense came to my house to interview me.He told me to keep quiet about the whole thing, andtell absolutely no one. I thought this was verystrange, but I did as he told me.Interviewer:Why have you decided to tell people about it now?Mr Burton: Because I want people to know what happened to me.I didn't use to believe in UFOs, but now I know theyexist. I think governments are trying to hide something,but people have a right to know.Interviewer：Thank you, Mr Burton, very much. A fascinating story.Passage 1 The Loch Ness MonsterThe Loch Ness is an enormous lake in Northern Scotland. It is about 24 miles long and one mile wide, and has an approximate depth of 1000 feet.One of the strangest and most fascinating things about Scotland* is the Loch* Ness Monster. Some people believe in the monster's existence. Many do not! However, very important bodies of people do believe there is some truth in the famous monster story: experts from Britain's Royal Air Force*, scientists from the Boston Academy of Applied Science* and computer specialists from NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, U.S.A.), to mention but a few!Loch Ness is an enormous lake in Northern Scotland. It is about twenty-four miles long and one mile wide, and has an approximate depth of 1,000 feet, which makes it very difficult for anybody to find and examine the highly elusive* monster. In fact the first convincing reports of people seeing the monster date from only about six years before the beginning of the Second World War. Since then here have been other sightings, and photographs of the monster have been taken ! Many of these photographs have later been recognized asfakes（捏造的报道）--silly jokes played on an unsuspecting public! However, other photographs have amazed the most searching scientific minds. In fact, it seems certain that something (and probably several of them) does exist in the deep waters of Loch Ness. The most amazing photographs show a flipper* -- the flipper perhaps of a very large animal (twenty or thirty feet long, it is imagined).From these photos British specialist in animal life, Sir Peter Scott, who is also an artist, has constructed this picture of what he believes the monster might look like.But where did the monster come from? Did it mysteriously climb out of a prehistoric world beneath the earth's crust*? Did it originally swim into the lake from the sea? Before the Ice Age, Loch Ness opened into the sea. Was the young monster's egg frozen into the ice of the Ice Age? And somehow did the monster come alive again when the ice went away? We just do not know! Can we ever find the answers to all the questions surrounding the legend* of the Loch Ness Monster, do you think?Exercise A:Loch Ness is an enormous lake in Northern Scotland. It is about twenty-four miles long and one mile wide, and has an approximate depth of 1,000 feet.Exercise B:l. C 2. A 3. D 4. A 5. B 6. B 7. C 8. D Exercise C:1.

Sir Peter Scott is a British specialist in animal life and also an artist.Passage 2 FossilFossil*, remains or traces of prehistoric plants and animals, buried and preserved in sedimentary* rock, or trapped in organic matter. Fossils representing most living groups have been discovered as well as many fossils representing groups that are now extinct. Fossils range in age from 3.5 billion-year-old traces of microscopic cyanobacteria* (blue-green algae) to lO,O00-year-old remains of animals preserved during the last Ice Age.Fossils are most commonly found in limestone, sandstone, and shale (sedimentary rock). Remains of organisms can also be foundtrapped in natural asphalt, amber, and ice. The hard, indigestible skeletons and shells of animals and the woody material of plants are usually preserved best. Fossils of organisms made of soft tissue that decays readily are more rare. Paleontologists* (scientists who study prehistoric life) use fossils to learn how life has changed and evolved throughout earth's history.Many factors can influence how fossils are preserved. Remains of an organism may be replaced by minerals, dissolved by an acidic solution to leave only their impression, or simply reduced to a more stable form. The fossilization of an organism depends on the chemistry of the environment and on the biochemical makeup of the organism. As a result, not all organisms in a community will be preserved.Plants are most commonly fossilized through carbonization. In this process, the mobile oils in the plant's organic matter are leached out* and the remaining matter is reduced to a carbon film. Plants have an inner structure of rigid organic walls that may be preserved in this manner, revealing the framework of the original cells. Animal soft tissue has a less rigid cellular structure and is rarely preserved through carbonization. Although paleontologists have found the carbonized skin of some ichthyosaurs*, marine reptiles from the Mesozoic* Era (240 to 65 million years before present), themicroscopic structure of the skin was not preserved.Different types of fossils are found in different geological formations, depending on the prehistoric environment represented and the age of the rock. Older rocks are found on low, eroded continents near the edges of large oceans. Younger rocks are found more commonly where there is active mountain building and volcanic activity. Old fossils are most commonly found where an old mountain range has eroded, such as in eastern North America and northern Europe, or where two old continents have collided, such as in Russia. Younger fossils are found at the ocean side of young mountains where an ocean plate is colliding with a continental plate, such as in western North and south America and in New Zealand.Exercise A:Plants are most commonly fossilized through carbonization.

Working group talks set for June 21-22 will lay the groundwork for discussions later in the week.Beijing has already hosted two rounds of the so-called six-party talks, but both have made little headway into resolving the standoff*. China hopes all sides will deepen their discussions based onpeacefully through dialogue and reaching the final goal of a nuclear freed Korean Peninsula.The United States and its key Asian allies, South Korea and Japan, have been pushing Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear program since the extent of the program became known in December 2002. Exercise A: This news item is about a new round of six-nation talks on North Korea's nuclear programExercise B:1.

全新版大学英语第二版听说教程2（unit1~7）答案
全新版⼤学英语第⼆版听说教程2（unit1~7）答案Unit 1 SportsPart AListening StrategyIdentifying NumbersNumbers appear very often in every kind of listening material. The ability to catch the exact numbers spoken in English is an important but difficult skill for a Chinese learner.

But recentlyI have failed to keep up with football.W: Now you’re busy with your golf games.Q: What do you know about the man from the conversation?Unit 2 Food and DrinksPart AListening StrategyListening “Between the Lines”People do not always say directly what they mean. Very often, we have to listen “between the lines”. The English language offers many ways for people to imply, rather than directly state, their meaning. To find out what a speaker really means, wecan rely on such things as the context, the meaning of an idiom, and the intonation used. For example, if someone says “I have an essay to write” in answer to an invitation to go somew here, we can infer from the context that he cannot accept the invitation. And if someone says “Andrew passed with flying colors” in reply to an inquiry about how Andrew did on a test, we can infer from the meaning of the idiom “to pass with flying colors” that Andrew did very well on the test. Often, intonation also helps to reveal the real meaning of a message. For example, “He is very clever” said with an ironic tone means just the opposite.You are going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers. Listen carefully and write down “Yes” or “No” to each of the following questions.1. Q: Does the woman enjoy the food in that restaurant? Yes2. Q: Is the man satisfied with the restaurant’s service?

Q: Will Sue eat out with the man tonight? NoScript:1. M: Have you ever been to that big restaurant opposite the school gate?W: Yes, many times. Whenever my friends come to visit me, I’ll take them there to eat.2. W: Is there something wrong, sir?M: My wife and I have been kept waiting for nearly an hour for our meal.3. W: Where is the cake I made this morning?M: We ate it, mom. Can you make another one for us?4. W: I hear you like chicken very much.M: Next to beef.5. M: Have you tried this wine before?W: No, never. It’s my first time, but it’s really to my taste.6. M: John, do you want a soda?W: Soda? I think it tastes like medicine.7. W: Why, the fish is left almost untouched.M: Well, it would be good if it were less salty.8. M: Hi, Sue, would you like to eat out tonight?W: Oh, I’d really like to, but m y sister may come to visit me this evening.Part BPre-listening TaskQuestions for DiscussionYou are going to talk about food and drinks. Read the following questions and discuss them with your partner.1. Where do you usually have your meals? What do you think of the food there?2. What do you usually have for breakfast, lunch and supper?3. Do you sometimes eat out? What kind of place do you like to go to?4. What is your favorite food / dish / drink?5. How do you like health food?Demo:4. What is your favorite food? (Why do you like it?)I am not picky about food and it is hard for me to decide which food I like most. Meat, bread, vegetables, fruit, fish …, I like them all. It can be said that my favorites change with the season. For example, in spring, my favorite food includes vegetables and fruit. I like them because they are tasty, nutritious and easy to digest.Additional Question for DiscussionAre there any differences or similarities between Chinese table manners and Western table manners?Demo:Chinese table manners are different from Western table manners in several aspects. One example is that, to show kindness and hospitality (好客), many Chinese would put food with their own chopsticks (筷⼦) onto their guests’ bowls or plates even though the guests indicate they do not want the food or so much of it. However, very few Westerners would do this. They would ask their guests to help themselves to the food they like.Language FocusHere are some sentences and structures that you might find useful in discussing the above questions.●I usually have meals at the school canteen.

Do you have any particular place in mind?Peter: Well, I think I’d like to eat something that’s not too heavy. I’ve been eating a little too much lately. Kate: Me too. Peter: I love Italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. They always seem to serve so much food in Italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to.Kate: Chinese food would be good.Peter: Yes, or maybe some Japanese sushi. That style uses a lot of natural flavors, and not much oil or cream or heavy sauces.Kate: Yes, either of those choices would be good. Let’s just meet on Saturday night, and decide then where to eat.

And you have a variety of choices as to what to eat, from French food, Italian food, Chinese food, Japanese food, and Mexican food, to Malaysian or Thai food. Italian cuisine uses a lot of tomato sauce, cheese, and cream, and its food is more on the heavy side. Pizza and pasta (for example, spaghetti and macaroni) are popular with diners. Our own Chinese cuisine is noted for its combination of color, flavor and smell, and Sichuan-style spicy food and Chinese snacks are much favored by foreigners for their delicious taste. Japanese cuisine lays great emphasis on artistic presentation of its dishes. Compared to Italian and Chinese cuisine, the Japanese style of cooking is probably lighter. It uses a lot of raw food, especially raw fish, all kinds of seafood, and soy sauce with less oil and fat.2. for a whilefor quite some time3. Do you have any particular place in mind?Do you want to go to any particular restaurant to eat? “Do you have any pa rticular … in mind?” can be used for various situations.

What counts as important details depends on the kind of information we want. Generally speaking, if we are listening to the narration of an event, we need to sharpen our ears not only for what happened, but also when and where, how and why it happened. In listening to a weather report, on the other hand, the important details we should watch out for are the current weather conditions, temperature, and weather outlook.You’re going to hear two short passages about weather. While listening, pay attention to such details as the weather conditions, temperature, weather outlook, damage caused by bad weather and so on, and write them down in note form. Then complete the exercises in your book.1. a. General weather conditions for today:Fine and pleasant.b. Temperature:High: 18 °C (64 °F)c. Weather outlook:Mostly cloudy with heavy showers moving in from the west.2. a. When did the storm start and how long did it last?It started around 8 p.m. and lasted for about three hours.b. How damaging was the storm?It caused four deaths and serious damage including a widespread power failure.Script:1. The weather today: a fine day is in store nearly everywhere, with the best of the sunshine in southern and central areas of Britain. A pleasant day, then, with long sunny periods developing. There will be light winds with a maximum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, 64 degrees Fahrenheit.Look at the outlook for the next few days: it will become mostly cloudy with heavy showers moving in from the west.2. A storm in Changchun, capital of Northeast China’s Jilin Province, claimed four lives on Sunday. The storm lasted about three hours from around 8 p.m. The winds reached speeds of over a hundred miles an hour, causing serious damage and a widespread power failure.Part BPre-listening TaskQuestions for DiscussionYou are going to talk about weather and weather forecasts.

What kind of climate do you like or dislike?5. Which season do you like best? Why?Demo:4. What kind of climate do you like or dislike?I like the climate of Shenyang City in the northern part of China. In spring it’s neither too hot nor too cold, with the temperaturebetween 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit. The summer there is cool and pleasant. In the fall the leaves change colors with the temperature around 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Perhaps the winter there is the best time, for the scenery is gorgeous. The snow is like powder covering the ground everywhere and that makes it an amazing place for skiing and snowboarding.Additional Question for DiscussionDo you think it is possible or impossible to give accurate weather forecasts?Demo:I think it is too much to ask for accurate weather forecasts at present. There are still quite a few things about the weather that we just don’t understand. We have to further develop meteorological (⽓象的) science and related technologies. There is a long way to go before we can hope to have very accurate weather forecasts.Language FocusHere are some sentences and structures that you might find useful in discussing the above questions.●It’s fine / sunny / warm / rainy / cloudy / snowy / windy / freezing / foggy / dry / chilly today.●The air is close / oppressive.● A storm is coming up / building up / in the making.●It’s raining off and on / cats and dogs.●The rain / snow has stopped / let up.●It’s going to cloud over.●It’s going to be a cold day with damaging northwesterly winds / hot and humid day with a high of 36 degreesCentigrade.●It seems to be clearing up.●The weather forecast says it’s going to be clear and sunny / muggy and humid / cold and wet.●The high will be … and the low will be …●The temperature will reach a h igh of ... in the afternoon / drop to a low of … at night.●I often tune in to the radio or TV / read newspapers /go online to check on weather conditions.●I like mild / warm / cool / dry climate.●I dislike / cannot stand hot / humid / wet / very dry / bitterly cold climate.●I like spring best.

La Nina?Part ID. warmer/ green house effect / sea levels/ climate zonesAs 1998 ends and people look forward to the last year of the century, the World Almanac spoke with experts about what comes next. Almanac editorial director says the experts believe the next century will bring lots of changes.Warm, of course, that our climate is going to continue getting warmer. That’s the subject, by the way, of another new article on the 1999 World Almanac. The greenhouse effect, exactly what causes it, and what steps to be taken to, perhaps to alleviate global warmings. I’ve seen recently that 1998 is going to g o down as the warmest year ever on record. And so that’s going to be a major issue of the next century, and possible tremendous consequences of the global warmings, whether it is rising sea levels affecting the coastal areas; changes in climate zones affecting what crops can be grown, and in what regions. This is potentially a very significant trend to be watched.E. Cyclone: North or south of equator / Typhoon:/ Hurricane: Eastern PacificMajor ocean storms in the northern part of the world usually develop in late summer or autumn over waters near the equator. They are known by several different names. Scientists call these storms cyclones when they happen just north or south of the equator in the Indian Ocean. In the western Pacific Ocean or the China Sea, these storms are called typhoons. In the eastern Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, they are called hurricanes.Part IIA. Outline 1.

Here is David Willis.The storm with winds of up to 75 miles an hour struck India’s southeast coast, flattening homes, destroying crops and cutting transport links. Eyewitnesses reported tidal waves more than 12 feet high. The storm was followed by torrential rains, which swept away roads and railway lines, and flooded low lying areas. More than 40 people are thought to have died when a ferry sank. But most of the deaths have been due to flooding, houses collapsing or electrocutions. More than 100,000 people have been evacuated from their homes and are taking shelter in relief camps. After surveying the flooded area by helicopter, the chief minister said it resembled a burial ground. He’s appealed to the federal government to treat t he incident as a national calamity.

The worst of the heavy rains and thunderstorms that have been sweeping parts of Europe during the past week appears to be over. Exceptionally heavy rainfall brought flooding to many parts of Germany, Switzerland, Northern Italy and France and chaos to rail and road transport. Although most flights are expected to be back to normal by this time tomorrow, there are expected to be serious delays on the German and Italian motorways over the forthcoming holiday weekend and train services are unlikely to be normalized for several days. A government spokeswoman in France announced that the damage to homes and property is expected to be at least four thousand million francs. It is reported that at least five people have lost their lives. Experts agree that casualty figures are lowbecause emergency warnings were issued on the day before the storms began. The federal government in Switzerland has urged motorists and rail travelers not to travel during the next few days and no international traffic will be allowed on the main north-south motorway routes across the country until next Tuesday.Part III. EarthquakesA. Another earthquake, the fifth in three days, hit Japan last night. Hundreds of homes have now been destroyed or badly damaged, and thousands have been made homeless since the earthquakes started. Many of the homeless have begun to make themselves makeshift shelters from the rubble. Electricity, gas and water supplies have also been seriously disrupted.

Many Asian cultures have included frog legs in their diets for centuries -- or at least until they have run out of frogs. But the most famous frog-eaters, and the people who inspired frog-eating in Europe and the United States are the French. By 1977 the French government, so concerned about the scarcity of its native frog, banned commercial hunting of its own amphibians. So the French turned to India and Bangladesh for frogs.As happened in France, American frog-leg fanciers and restaurants also turned increasingly to frozen imports. According to figures collected from government agencies, the United States imported more than million pounds of frozen frog meat each year between 1981 and 1984.So many frozen frog legs were exported from India to Europe and the United States. One of the attractions of Indian frogs, apart from the fact that they have bigger legs than French frogs, was the price. In London, a pound of frozen frog's legs from India cost about ￡, compared with ￡ for the French variety.Indian scientists have described as "disastrous" the rate at whichfrogs are disappearing from the rice fields and wetlands, where they protect crops by devouring damagingsince the India and Bangladesh frog-export bans, Indonesia has become the major exporter of frog legs to the United States and Europe. But no matter what country the legs come from, one thing is usually constant: The legs once belonged to frogs are taken from the wild, not from farms.Frogs are nearly impossible to farm economically in the countries where frogs are commercially harvested from the wild.Exercise A:1.

Since we only startedlast July, we' ve kept them down to attract customers. It's only ￡30 ayear to join. Then an hour in the gym costs ￡ -- the same as halfan hour on the sunbed. Sauna and Jacuzzi are both ~ for half anhour.Interviewer: And is the club doing wellLama: Well, so far, yes, it's doing really well. I had no idea it was going to be such a success, actually. We're both verypleased. The sunbed's so popular, especially with the over65s, that we're getting another one in August.

Every day Werner used to take us to the nursery slope* to practise, and toget to the top you had to go up on a ski lift.Teresa: Which wasn't really very easy.Simon: No, and if you fell off you'd start sliding down the slope, rightinto all the people coming up!Sally- Mmm.Simon: Well, on that day we were all going up on the ski lift, you know, we were just getting used to it, and, you see there was this onewoman in our class who never got the hang of* it. She didn't haveany sort of control over her skis and whenever she started sliding,she would sort of stick her ski sticks out in front of her, youknow, like swords or something.Teresa: I always tried to avoid her, but on that day I was right behind her on the ski lift* and just as she was getting to the top, sheslipped and started sliding down the slope.Sally: Did she ~Simon: Mmm, with her ski sticks waving around in front of her!Teresa: So of course everyone sort of let go and tried to jump off the ski lift to get out of the way.Simon: And that's how they all ended up in a pile at the bottom of the slope -- it was lucky I had my camera with me.Sally: I bet that woman was popular!Simon oh,yes. everybody's favourite!Exercise A:1. They are looking at some pictures.2. A ski class for beginners.3. Two.Exercise B:Everyday the coach took them to a nursery slope. They got to the top on a ski lift. In their class there was one woman who could never learn how to ski. She couldn't control her skis and whenever she started sliding, she would stick her ski sticks out in front of her. People always tried to avoid her.One day as she was getting to the top, she slipped and started sliding down the slope. Everyone let go and tried to jump off the ski lift to get out of the way and they all ended up in a pile at the bottom of the slope.Passage 2 The Truth about the French!Skiing in France is heaven on Earth for a dedicated skier. There are resorts where you can access skiing terrain that is larger than all the ski resorts in Utah* and Colorado* combined.The larger resorts have an adequate number of restaurants and discos. It is a good idea to eat a good lunch because the mountain restaurants are normally much better than the restaurants in the ski stations.French resorts are mostly government owned and operated. The social system puts a high percentage of money back into the areas. This provides state-of-the-art* lifts, snow making and snow grooming. In general, an intermediate skier who can read a lift map will easily be able to ski allday avoiding lift lines and crowds, even during the busiest season.The French school systems have a staggered* two-week winter vacation period. When the snow is good, nearly all of France migrates to the mountains for this period. The break usually covers the last two weeks of February and the first week of March. The time to absolutely avoid is the "Paris school holiday week" which will always be in the middle period of the vacation time but alternates starting the first or second week of the break.No one has a more undeserved* reputation about his or her character than the French. The French are not generally arrogant and rude. Tree, in large tourist centers there are unpleasant people and if you're looking for or expecting rudeness, you may just provoke* it. Generally the French, especially in the countryside, are as kind as you wish and you will find warmth and acceptance. The most fractious* Frenchman is easily disarmed by a little sincerity*.When greeting someone or saying good-bye, always shake hands. Don't use a firm, pumping handshake, but a quick, slight pressure one. When you enter a room or a sbop you should greet everyone there. If you meet a person you know very well use their first name and kiss both cheeks. Men don't usually kiss unless they are relatives. Good topics of conversation include food, sports, hobbies and where you come from. Topics to avoid are prices, where items were bought, what someone does for a living, income and age. Questions about personal and family life are considered private. Expect to find the French well-informed about the history, culture and politics of othercountries. To gain their respect, be prepared to show some knowledge of the history and politics of France.France is generally a very safe country to visit. Pickpockets, however, are not unheard of. In large cities particularly, take precautions against theft. Always secure your vehicles, leave nothing of value visible and don't carry your wallet in your back pocket. Beware of begging children!Exercise A:When greeting someone or saying good-bye, always shake hands. Don't use a firm, pumping handshake, but a quick, slight pressure one.

The Transport Minister Gilles de Robien said a segment of the three-building 2E terminal at Charles de Gaulle airport would return to service on July 15. In the May 23 disaster, failing glass, steel and masonry* killed four travelers -- two Chinese,one Czech* and one Lebanese*. Three others were injured.A preliminary report by experts said Tuesday that a weakness in the concrete that formed the futuristic terminal's vaulted roof may have contributed to the collapse.Officials are still unsure about what exactly caused it to collapse. Exercise A:This news item is about the new information Of France Charles de Gaulle airport where a segment of the roof collapsed in May.Exercise B:News Item 2An Antonov 26 plane crashed in northwestern Congo shortly after take-off on Saturday, killing all 22 Congolese passengers and the crew. It was not known how many crew members were on the plane when it crashed near the town of Boende, more than 600 km northeast of the capital Kinshasa. The cause of the crash was unknown.A string of accidents this week has underlined the parlous* state of Democratic Republic of Congo's transport infrastructure* after five years of war and decades of misrule.More than 160 people drowned when a ferry sank during a storm on Lake Mai-Ndombe, north east of Kinshasa, on Tuesday.On Saturday, 18 people were killed or injured when a small truck experienced brake trouble and crashed near the eastern town of Goma. Exercise A:This news item is about a strine of accidents this week in Congo. Exercise B:Section three oral workRetellingThere is a street called "The Strand" in Galveston, where hundreds of thousands of touristsvisit today. This street was Mama's stomping* ground as a kid. Before Mama died, we took a streetcar around Galveston to see all the lovely, restored homes. What a great day. She knew morethan the tour guide. As we sat enjoying the sights, Mama said, "Liz, do you know why my nose is a little crooked*" (I thought, "Where did that come from") "No, Mama, you haven't ever mentioned it," I replied."Well," said mother, "one day I followed my brothers to The Strand, and a streetcar ran overme. I put myself flat down between the rails and pushed my face in the ground so hard, I broke mynose! It sure caused a lot of chaos*. People screamed, the police came, and I just crawled out,brushed myself off and went home. The only thing 1 ever noticed different about me was a crookedI just looked at her nose and looked at Mama in utter disbelief!Section Four Supplementary ExercisesBabies and IntelligenceSome people thought babies were not able to learn things until theywere five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babiesbegin learning on their first day of life.Research scientists at the National Institute of Child Health andDevelopment note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment.They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes.A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her motheror other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicatewith other humans. This ability to learn exists in a baby even before birth.They say newborn babies can recognize and understand sounds they heardwhile they were still developing inside their mothers.The Finnish researchers used devices to measures the babies' brainactivity. The researchersplayed recordings of spoken sounds for up to one hour while the babiesslept.The head of the study believes that babies can learn while asleepbecause the part of their brains called the cerebral cortex* remainsactive at night. The cortex is very important for learning. This part ofthe brain is not active in adults while they sleep.Many experts say the first years of a child's life are importantfor all later development. AnAmerican study shows how mothers can strongly influence socialdevelopment and language skills in their children. The study involved morethan 1,200 mothers and children. Researchers studied the children fromthe age of one month to three years. They observed the mothers playingwith their children four times during this period.The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers.The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children'sactivities and did not interfere unnecessarily. They tested the childrenfor thinking and language development when they were three years old.The children of depressed women did not do as well on tests as thechildren of women who did not suffer from depression. The children ofdepressed women did poorly on tests of language skills and understandingwhat they hear. These children also were less cooperative and had moreproblems dealing with other people.Another study suggests that babies who are bigger at birth generallyare more intelligent later in life. It found that the intelligence of achild at seven years of age is directly linked to his or her weight atbirth. Study organizers say this is probably because heavier babiesreceived more nutrition* during important periods of brain developmentbefore they were born.The study involved almost 3,500 children. Researchers in New York City used traditional tests to measure intelligence. Brothers and sisters were tested so that the effects of birth weight alone could be separated from the effects of diet or other considerations.The researchers found that children with higher birth weights generally did better on the intelligence tests. Also, the link between birth weight and intelligence later in life was stronger for boys than for girls.Exercise A:1.

In general, drowsiness is feeling the need to sleep, while fatigue is a lack of energy and motivation. Drowsiness and apathy (a feeling of indifference or not caring about what happens) can be symptoms of fatigue.Fatigue can be a normal and important response to physical exertion, emotional stress, boredom, or lack of sleep. However, it can also be a nonspecific sign of a more serious psychological or , physical disorder. Fatigue that is not relieved by enough sleep, good nutrition, or a low-stress environment should be evaluated by your doctor. Because fatigue is a common complaint, sometimes a potentially serious cause may be overlooked.The pattern of fatigue may help your doctor determine its underlying cause. For example, if you wake up in the morning rested but rapidly develop fatigue with activity, you may have an ongoing pysical condition like an underactive thyroid*. On the other hand, if you wake up with a low level of energy and have fatigue that lasts throughout the day, you may be depressed.Here are some tips for reducing fatigue:Get adequate, regular, and consistent amounts of sleep each night.Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet and drink plenty of water throughout the day.Exercise regularly.Learn better ways to relax. Try yoga* or meditation*.Maintain a reasonable work and personal schedule.Change your stressful circumstances, if possible. For example, switch jobs, take a vacation, and deal directly with problems in a relationship.Take a multivitamin. Talk to your doctor about what you need and what is best for you.Avoid alcohol, nicotine*, and drag use.If you have chronic* pain or depression, treating either often helps address the fatigue. However, some antidepressant* medications may causeor worsen fatigue. Your medication may have to be adjusted to avoid this problem. Do not stop or change any medications without instruction from your doctor.Stimulants* (including caffeine) are not effective treatments for fatigue, and can actually make the problem worse when the drugs are discontinued. Sedatives* also tend to intensify fatigue in the long run. Exercise A:Fatigue is a feeling of weariness, tiredness, or lack of energy. Fatigue is different from drowsiness.

The Society named after him was founded in the late 1800s by conservationists concerned with the decline of birds, which were being killed so their feathers could be used in the manufacture of women’s hats.Sponsored by the National Audubon Society, more than 40,000 volunteers will be outside counting birds from today until January 3rd. V olunteers from all 50 states of the United States, every Canadian province, parts of Central and South America, Bermuda, the West Indies and Pacific islands have begun to count and record every individual bird and bird species observed during the two and one half week period of the count.Jeffrey leBarron is the National Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Count editor. He says the count is the longest-running bird census in ornithology.This year, according to MR. LeBaron, more than 1,600 separate bird counts have been scheduled. Some would have as few as 10 people taking part, others with hundreds. The logistics of the Christmas bird count, he adds, are simple.“Each individual count is in a circle. It’s a 15 mile diameter circle, um, around the exact center point. And it’s always the exactly same area that’s done every year, usually, even on the same weekend during the count period. And what the ideal would be, which is virtually impossible, is this census: every single individual bird within that circle on the count day.”Mr. LeBaron says experienced bird counters can get a good idea of the total bird populations within the count circle based on the number of birds they actually see. The editor points out, however, that the counts are not only for experienced birdwatchers.“Anybody that is interested or concerned can become involved. Beginners will go out in a party with experienced individuals who know both the area and the birds in the area, in the field where more eyes and ears are better. And then anybody can point out a bird, and someone in the field will always be able to identify the bird.”Part III. Dolphin captivityA. 1 3 4 5 2B. Thesis Statement 1: Dolphins should be kept in captivityThesis Statement 2: there are educational benefits of keeping marine mammals in captivityCRick Troud: stress / sonar bouncing offDeborah Duffield: little difference in average age of death; life getting better for captive dolphinsRick Troud: natural behavior patterns are altered/ beating each other to death; suffering from fractured skulls, ribs or jaws.Doborah Duffield: Can’t learn from animals in the wild how they operate, breed, what they need, etc.(Alan Tu is an announcer for Colorado Public Radio; Peter Jones is a reporter for Colorado Public Radio. The other speakers are identified in the report.)A: A planned aquatic park in Denver is raising the ire of animal rights activists who object to aproposal to include a captive dolphin display. Although officials for Colorado’s Ocean Journeys say they have yet to make a final decision on the issue, local and national activists have already instigated a “NO Dolphins in Denver” campaign . As Colorado Publ ic Radio’s Peter Jones reports, the battle lineshave been clearly drawn.P: Rick Troud, a former navy dolphin trainer based in Florida, is taking an active role in the “NO Dolphins” campaign.R: Average age in the wild ranges anywhere in some of the studies between 30 and 40 years of age. In captivity, you can expect a dolphin to live maybe 5.13 year and every 7 years in captivity, the dolphin population is dead.P: According to Troud, there are many reasons why dolphins can’t live full lives in captivity.R: if you take a look at where the real dolphin is in the real ocean, you find the dolphin who swims 40 miles a day, is very family-oriented. These animals are separated from their mothers; that’s a stress. You put them is a concrete tank where their sona r bounces off of walls, they can’t swim in the same amount of time and direction that they can in the wild.P: Environmentalist and ocean explorer, Jean Michel Cousteau:J: there are some animals which reject captivity right away, and they’re very suicidal. I’ve had one of those in my own arms for many days. The next morning when I came to take care of him, he was dead. And what he’d done was to swim as fast as he could from one end of the pool on…to the other side and destroyed his head by hitting the wall. They have a very sophisticated brain. I don’t think we have any rights to play with the live of these animals.P: Cousteau’s anti-captivity position is challenged by Dr. Deborah Duffield, a biology professor at Portland State College in Oregon. Her 1990 study compared captive dolphins to the wild population of Sarasota Bay, Florida. Among other findings, the study showed little if any difference in the average age of death.And Duffield says life is generally getting better for captive dolphins.D: the ce nsus data say that every time I do a census, I’ve got older and older animals in it as well as this normal age distribution that we’ve been looking at . So my feeling is that the trend in captivity has been that the group of animals that we’re following ar e getting older, and if they continue to do that over the next five years, they will then indeed be older than the wild population.P: There is also a debate over the educational benefits of keeping marine mammals in captivity. According to Duffield, captive dolphins play an important role in our basic understanding of the animals.D: I firmly believe that we cannot learn anything about organisms that we share this world with if we do not understand how they live in an environment, and what they do, and that watching them go by in the wild will not do it. I cannot tell what an animal needs, unless I know how it operates, how it breeds, what it needs metabolically, and I can’t learn that from animals in the wild.P: But Troud says the dolphin displays are anti-educational because the animals’ natural behavior patterns are altered by captivity.R: IN the wild, you don’t have dolphins who beat each other to death. There are no dolphins that I’ve ever seen stranded on the beach, who are suffering from fractured skull, fractured ribs or fractured jaws, as is the case in captivity.P: the Ocean Journey board will take all factors into consideration before making a final decision on whether to include dolphins in the park. For Colorado Public Radio, I’mPeter Jones.Part IV. Birds—a source of wealthA.I. 9,300II. Habitat A. warmer climates/ 300 different species/ B. colder climatesIII. A. 2. habitat alteration B. esthetic valueIV. Birds’ populationMr. Lebaron says there are about 9,300 different known species of birds. Larger numbers of them live in the warmer climates. For example, more than 300 different species have been counted in Panama, while far fewer species are native to colder climates. Aside from their esthetic value, Mr. LeBaron says birds are important to the environment because they can signal changes in it. “Birds are one of the best indicators that we have of the quality of the environment within the given area. Whether it is a relatively local area, or even primarily on the worldwide bases, they are one of the first things to be altered. They are quite sensitive to a habitat alteration or to other threats. And often times when birds are disappearing out of the area, it just means there is a degradation of the quality of the habitat within that area which will adversely affect everything in there including humans”national Audubon society editor Jeffrey Lebaron calls the world’s bird populations a source of wealth that humans must protect.“people get so much pleasure out of looking at birds and listening to birds. And if they start disappearing just the quality of lie, may be not physically, but the mental quality of life can be degraded quickly.”Jeffrey leBaron says that while the National AudubonSociety’s annual Christmas bird counts show a declin e in some species, many types of birds are actually increasing their populations.Part V Do you know…?1.one and one-half million / 20 times2.100/ 40,000/ 65 million3.3,500/ 2 million square miles/ 3%4.200 animal species/ 1,0005. a third/ two thirds/ three quarters/。
