y, too. They are active, but not as active as the thinner mice. But they only live about two years, not the three years or more of the thinner mice.The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups. Most of the day, these mice are eating or sleeping. They’re not very active. These mice are living longer than the scientists thought — about a year and a half. But they are not healthy. They’re sick more often than the other two groups.The experiment is still going on. The scientists hope to finish their studies in two years.Task 2【答案】A.1) People keep fish in a certain place just as they keep sheep and cattle.2) By education.3) Waste pollutes the sea, and plankton dies. Other sea animals that live on plankton cannot findenough food.4) They needed to kill whales for their meat, their bones and the oil from their fat. But they have other materials now.B.C.People on land'Large fishSmaller fishZoo planktonPlant plankton【原文】Mike: Good morning, and welcome to Radio Time. For our monthly programme, Science Today, I've invited a group of scientists to the studio to talk about sea life — Professor Adams, Dr. Brown and Dr. Church. It's good to have you with us. Professor Adams, I've read in the papers that sea life is in danger. Is this true?Adams: I'm afraid so, very true. As the world population grows, we need more food, so we catch more fish. We're overfishing the sea, and soon there won't BE any fish.Brown: The answer is to start more fish farms on land.Church: I agree. We must keep fish, like we keep sheep and cattle.Adams: Fish farms are a good idea, but I don't think they will solve the problem of overfishing the sea. We have to stop people fishing in certain parts of the ocean.Church: Yes. We need international rules to protect fish, and all the countries of the world must agree to obey them.Brown: We have rules now, and people don't obey them. I agree that we must stop fishing incertain parts of the ocean...Adams: And we must only allow each country to catch a certain number of fish — but how do we make people obey these rules?Church: I don't know. By education perhaps?Mike: You mean, teach people about sea life?Church: Exactly. We must explain how everything depends on everything else. If people want to eat fish in the future, then they must stop killing so many fish now.Brown: Waste is another problem. We're filling the oceans of the world with our rubbish. The sea can no longer clean itself. It's not safe to swim near the beaches, and out at sea plankton is starting to die.Adams: And without plant plankton for the zoo plankton, and zoo plankton for small fish and shellfish, the large fish can't find any food, and so it goes on.Church: One reason why whales are disappearing is that they can't find enough food.Mike: Whales eat plankton, don't they?Church: Yes. And some people still want to eat whale meat. In the past people needed to kill whales for their meat, their bones and the oil from their fat. But we have other materials now. People must stop killing whales.Brown: I agree. We mustn't lose the largest sea mammal in the world.Adams: Everyone must work to save the whale. It's a wonderful animal, and it has a right to life. Mike; And everyone must try to understand about sea life and protect it. Well, thank you for coming on the program me and I hope our listeners will remember what you said. Don't let our oceans die, and remember, no food for the fish means no fish for food!Task 3【答案】A.1) b2) a3) b4) cB.1) Measure; Mix; Pour; Put on; Pack2) late; sick; vacations; strike; 24 hours; 7 days; 365 daysC.1) A worker will program the robots. She/He will type the orders into a computer, telling the robots what ingredients to use, how long to mix them, and which labels to use.2) A technician from the robot company will come within an hour to fix it.3) No.【原文】Boss: Robots? Why are you talking about robots? We're a small company, we make cough syrup.We only have twenty workers. Robots are fine for large factories, not small ones likeours.Assistant: Boss, small companies can use robots, too. They're great workers.Boss: I don't know. Talk to me about them ten years from now.Assistant: Boss, listen, this is a simple operation here. We make 10 different kinds of cough syrup.But each operation only has 5 steps, so we'll only need 5 robots. One robot will measurethe ingredients, and a second robot will mix them. A third robot will pour the syrup intothe bottles. Then a fourth robot will put the labels on. The last robot will pack the bottlesinto boxes. Right now, we have 20 workers doing these jobs.Boss: But each kind of syrup is different. How will these robots know what to do? Assistant: We'll tell them. One worker will program the robots. She'll just type the orders into a computer, tell the robots what ingredients to use, how long to mix them, and whichlabels to use.Boss: And what happens when one of the robots breaks down?Assistant: They don't break down very often. And the robot company will have a technician here within an hour.Boss: I just can't picture it. What will we have here? A quiet building with robots rolling around doing the work?Assistant: That's it! And these robots are great workers. They'll never come to work late, they won't call in sick, they won't take vacations, they won't go on strike, and they'll work 24hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.Boss: I don't know. It sounds like a good idea, but I need time to think. What about the men and women who work here now? Most of them are good workers. They have families tosupport.Assistant: Boss, that's the only problem. We won't need them anymore.Task 4【答案】A.inventions; immediate; manufactured goods; growth; farms; grew up; coal; iron; pleasant; over-crowdedB.Part 2FactoryA.1. Long2. LowB. commonC. childrenPart 3women and childrenA. 10 years old; minesB. 10 working hours/day for women and for boys under 18C. form unionsC.1)Socialists demanded complete changes in the system of Government and the way people earned their living.But other social reformers only wanted to achieve their goals by peaceful means, particularly by passing new laws.2) The Consequences of the Industrial Revolution in Britain【原文】Part 1The early inventions and discoveries which began the Industrial Revolution had important consequences. One immediate result was the great increase in the quantity of manufactured goods available. Another important result was the rapid growth of cities. Many country people left their farms to work in factories. Gradually, new towns grew up around these factories which were built near the sources of coal, iron and waterpower. Some of the great cities of England, such as Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham, started in this way.The industrial towns were not pleasant places to live in. The workers' quarters were over-crowded and the people lived in the midst of filth and disease.Part 2The Industrial Revolution also brought about what was later called the factory system. Working conditions in factories were bad. The people had to work long hours for small wages. Accidents were common and the employer took no responsibility for them. The most unfortunate victims of the factory system were children. Children only four or five years old were employed in factories and mines.Part 3Many influential people began to protest against the terrible conditions under which the people lived and worked. Gradually, the English Parliament made new laws to protect workers, particularly women and children. In 1842, it was made illegal to employ women, and children under ten years old, to work in the mines. Another law was passed in 1847 allowing only ten hours of work per day for women and for boys under eighteen years of age. After 1824, working men were also allowed to form unions to bargain peacefully with their employers for better working conditions and better wages. Strikes were, however, forbidden for many years.Part 4As the factory system grew, a number of men criticized its evils. Some of these men merely wanted new laws to protect the workers. Others, who were later known as Socialists or Communists, demanded complete changes in the system of Government and the way people earned their living.Task 5【答案】A.1) T2) T3) F4) T5) F6) F7) T8) T【原文】Miranda went to one side of the control room and touched a button. The door of the safety room slid open. Miranda went inside and closed the door. She had a plan of her own.The large blue capsules were on the tray which had come out of the wall. Miranda picked upa capsule and opened it carefully. It was full of white powder. She emptied the white powder into some water. Then she poured the liquid into an injection gun.Miranda put the gun carefully into a pocket in her overalls. She now had a weapon of her own."Garth will not think of searching me," Miranda said to herself. "He doesn't know I have a different plan for the crystals."Miranda went back to the control room. Omega was silently charging the power banks. The visual display showed the sleeping bodies of Garth and V aron."When will the ship be ready to leave for Zeron?" she asked Omega eagerly."In three and a half hour's time," was Omega's reply."Keep watching Garth," Miranda ordered. "But you can stop watching Varon. He is locked in his cabin. He cannot get out until I open the door.""It will be done," Omega answered.He pressed the button on the control panel. The picture of V aron disappeared and the picture of the sleeping body of Garth filled the screen.Miranda went out into the corridor and walked the short distance to Varon's cabin. She touched a button in the wall and the door opened immediately. Varon was lying asleep on the bunk.Miranda looked down at him."You're a fool," she thought. "How can you lie there sleeping? Anyone who trusts Garth is a fool."She shook Varon by the shoulder until he woke up."What's wrong?" he asked sleepily. "Are we ready to leave?""Not yet," replied Miranda. "I have come to talk to you. I want you to help me.""I am going to help you to get the Zeron crystals. What more help do you want?" asked Varon."You know very little about me and Garth," began Miranda."I know enough," interrupted Varon. "You are thieves. And you are murderers!""I am not a murderer," said Miranda. "I helped Garth on Earth. But I did not kill the owner of this spaceship."Task 6【答案】A.1) c2) b3) cB.【原文】Potts: Now, Mr. Macadam, what makes you so sure that there is a monster in Loch Ness? Macadam: I've seen it, Professor Potts! I've seen it with my own eyes, I tell you! I was there by Loch Ness very early one morning. I was standing by the edge of the lake. Suddenly Isaw a pair of eyes in the water. They were looking at me. Then a head came up out ofthe water, and this thing began to swim towards me. I was really frightened, you know!I was holding a bottle in my hand at the time. I threw it at the monster. Then themonster dived and swam away underwater. But I know you don't believe my story, doyou, Professor Potts?Potts: Well, I believe that you saw something. But are you certain that it was a monster?Could you see it clearly? Are you sure that it wasn't just some kind of animal or bird?You see, I don't believe in monsters. And I don't think there's anything strange orunusual in Loch Ness. If there are any monsters there, why hasn't anyone caught oneyet? Why aren't there any really clear photos or films of one?Macadam: Ah, well let me explain. Loch Ness is very deep, you know — more than 200 metres deep in some places. And the water's a dark brown colour. These monsters don't cometo the surface of the lake very often. They live in deep water, near the bottom of thelake. You can't see much down there. So it's very hard to find these monsters. And it'sharder to catch one. Dr. Hunt knows a lot about Loch Ness. You believe there's amonster there, don't you, Doctor?Dr. Hunt: Well, actually, I used to think that the whole idea of "Nessie" was just a joke. But now I'm not so sure. Nowadays we know a lot about land animals, but the underwater worldis still full of mysteries. I don't like the word "monster", but I believe there may besomething unusual in Loch Ness. It may be a big animal. It may be a fish that scientistsdon't know about. It could even be a kind of dinosaur that didn't die 65 million yearsago. Who knows? It's an exciting idea, but we can't be certain until we have somebetter pictures, or, best of all, until someone catches one of these things so thatscientists can study it properly.Task 7【答案】A.1) F2) T3) F4) F5) TB.1) Dispute over the genetically modified crops.2) Biotech foods come from material that has been genetically modified by scientists to resist in-sects or disease.3) European consumers feared possible health risks of these new foods.4) First the foods must be labeled clearly. Second, producers will have to trace GMOs at all stagesof production.5) Because the aid contained biotech grain, which Africans feared could be used as seed and thereby threaten future exports to the EU.【原文】The European Parliament on Wednesday passed two laws that could open the way for European Union nations to lift an unofficial ban on genetically modified crops. This is a major trade issue with the United States, whose farmers claim the ban has cost almost $300 million a year in lost corn exports.The new laws, expected to be adopted by EU governments before the end of the year, would allow the distribution of genetically modified foods as long as they are clearly labeled. The rules would also force producers to trace genetically modified organisms, or GMOs, at all stages of production.The new laws require the 15 nations of the EU to establish their own measures to prevent seeds from farms growing genetically modified crops from blowing into fields of conventional farms.European consumers fear possible health risks from genetically modified products, but EU Health Commissioner David Byrne insists this is not a concern."The purpose of this legislation is to inform consumers about the exact nature and characteristics of the food, to enable them to make informed choices. The purpose of labeling is not to inform the consumer about the safety or lack of safety of a food. If a food is unsafe, it cannot be placed on the market at all."The United States has filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization in an attempt to have the unofficial EU moratorium on so-called biotech foods lifted.Washington has also said previously it is unhappy with the new labeling rules and other requirements, which it believes are too costly and restrictive.Biotech foods come from material that has been genetically modified by scientists to resist in-sects or disease. Such foods have been widely grown in North America for years.The EU imposed its unofficial moratorium on new biotech foods five years ago because of fears by European consumers about possible health risks.The issue has worldwide implications. Last year, several African nations rejected US food aid because it contained biotech grain, which Africans feared could be used as seed and thereby threaten future exports to the European Union.Task 8【答案】A.1) b2) a3) b4) cB.1) It's the largest anywhere in the world.2) They built two different types of power station side by side. They want to find which is the best system for harnessing the power of the sun.3) Water is converted to steam to drive the turbines in the usual way.4) The sun often disappears.C.【原文】Japan is the land of the rising sun. And by the sea on one of the Japanese islands at the little town of Neo, they're taking the national symbol seriously. The town now has its own power station, and it's the largest anywhere in the world to be powered by the sun.This massive installation is clear evidence of the Japanese commitment to solar power. And perhaps only they could have gone this far, to stage what's in effect a solar energy competition.There are, in fact, two totally different types of power station here, side by side, and each one of them is capable of generating one megawatt of electricity. And although they began this year feeding electricity into the power network to supply about 2,000 local houses, this is basically just one enormous experiment to find the best way of harnessing the sun.The mirrors here are part of just one of the solar power stations, and each one is made of specially treated glass which reflects 95 percent of the sunlight falling on them. They then focus that light up to the top of a central tower. Altogether, there are 800 of these mirrors arranged in a circle around the tower, and to make sure they're always reflecting the sunlight onto the collecting surface at the top, a series of computers dotted amongst the mirrors adjusts their position so they follow the movement of the sun across the sky.As they heat the collecting surface to over 400~ Centigrade, water in concealed pipes is converted to steam and returns back down the tower to drive a turbine and generator in the usual way.But the obvious problem with solar energy is that the sun often disappears, even here where the site was carefully chosen because it's one of the sunniest spots in Japan. Completely overcast days are a write-off, but this station does cope very well with those days where there are some sunny spells, and that's because enough steam can be stored in these tanks to run the generators for three hours. And they expect the station to be able to operate for more than 200 days a year.So much for system one. It's a Western design, but only the Japanese have completed a station this big. And it's only half of their experiment.Beside it is the other entry in the competition, and this whole concept is completely home-grown. It uses mirrors again--2,500 of them--arranged on vast structures rather like football stands. Each of the stands faces south and every single mirror is individually controlled to track the sun across the sky. But this time there's no central tower.Instead, the mirrors reflect the light onto a second set of parabolic mirrors facing them. These focus the sunlight and its heat onto a water pipe clearly visible in its protective vacuum tube. In the pipe the water is converted to steam and used to generate electricity as before.It's a little early in the two-year test period to be certain yet which of the two designs is most effective. But it does look as though between the autumn and the spring, when the sun's at an angle, this parabolic type is better. But in the summer, when the sun's overhead, that central tower seems to have the advantage.But when they have got the results of the tests, the next stage is to go on and build a power station ten times bigger than either of these. Coming to the right conclusions about solar power is even more important in Japan than it is in most countries. 75 percent of their energy comes from imported oil. They are determined to reduce that to 50 percent. And that will mean building a whole string of solar power stations throughout the country.Task 9【原文】The future will not determine itself. The future is determined by the actions of the present day.Edward Cornish, the editor of The Futurist magazine published by the World Future Society, says:The responsibility we have for the future begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future — that the future is not something imposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future both through what we do and what we do not do.A novel way of teaching may change the way universities are run. An engineering teacher at the American University of Illinois has had great success without textbooks, without exams and without deadlines. His students won nine of the top ten engineering awards in a university competition.The engineering professor, Ricardo Uribe, let his engineering students express themselves, in-stead of telling them what to do. His students all focused on the problems that interested them, not what their teacher told 'them. They worked their own hours, not hours set by the university. They did not have to sit tests, and they helped each other in open classes.。

【2022年】山东省滨州市公共英语二级(笔试)真题(含答案)

2021年安徽省安庆市公共英语二级(笔试)真题(含答案)学校:________ 班级:________ 姓名:________ 考号:________一、3.阅读理解(10题)1.America has had many Presidents who have been famous all over the world. People from other countries know the names Washington, Kennedy and so on. However, many men who have served as President of the United States have not been famous in other parts of the world. One example is J.Q .Adams, the sixth man to serve as U.S.President.Very little happened while Adams was President. It was an unhappy time for him, and he wasn't very effective, when his term ended, he went back to the Congress and served as a representative sentative(众议院议员). While he wasin Congress, people began to respect him more than they had done while he was President. Adams was strongly against slavery and tried to outlaw it in Washington D.C.People began to look back on his presidency with a different view. Now they saw that he was an independent man with high ideal who loved his country and hated slavery Adams died in 1848 while speaking in the House of Representative.When Adams served as the sixth U.S. President, ____________.A.his people didn't regard him as a great manB.he tried a lot of means to get rid of slaveryC.his high ideal made an impression on American peopleD.he did a lot of things against laws2.In the past, news was______.A.sent by telegraphB.passed from one person to anotherC.sent by letterD.sent by telephone3.It is obvious that UNESCO ______.A.is a company in FranceB.is a world organization in the U. N.C.works mainly at fighting against illiteracyD.had many experts whose level of attainment is far from literacy4.The reason "Father was in a hurry to get home" was that he ______.A.wasn't feeling very wellB.hated to drive in the darkC.wanted to take some exerciseD.didn't want to be caught by the police5.Although the sport is very popular, some people are still ______.A.expanding its equipmentB.asking for instructionsC.afraid of going down the mountainsidesD.curious about the sport6.A dog is a more demanding pot than a cat because ______.A.it must be trained so that it won't biteB.it demands more food and spaceC.it needs more love and careD.it must be looked after carefully7.A reservoir is used ______.A.to keep the fields wetB.to store waterC.to join canalsD.to prevent farmers from getting water8.One of the quickest and most effective ways to improve your vocabulary is by learning to recognize the most common Latin and Greek roots, since any one of them can help you define a number of English words. Whenever you come upon an unfamiliar word, first check to see if it has a recognizable root. If you know that the Latin root "ami" for example, means like or love, you can easily figure out that "amiable" means pleasant, friendly and "amorous" means loving. Even ff you cannot define a word exactly, recognizing the root will still give you a general idea of the word's meaning. Remembering thatthe Greek root "geo" means earth would certainly help you define "geophysics" as the physics of the earth, but it also might help you figure out that "geocentric" has to do with the center of the earth or with the earth as a center. Begin by studying the following lists of common Latin and Greek roots and representative words.The word "geochemistry" most probably means the chemistry of ______. A.the earth B.the moon C.the ocean D.the minerals9.The first tin coins were made ______.A.in ChinaB.in PhilippineC.in EnglandD.in countries of Africa10.Which of the following is true?A.Mr. Reese was luckier than the soldiers.B.Both Mr. Reese and the soldiers were out of luck.C.Nothing made Mr. Reese complain.D.The soldiers wanted to help Mr. Reese.二、2.英语知识运用(10题)11.【B18】A.containsB.containingC.containedD.having contained12.【B10】A.someB.suchC.lessD.no13.【B11】A.normalmonC.unusualD.quick14.【B4】A.materialsB.affairsC.mattersD.things15.

Unit 9Task 1【答案】1) the campus hero; the women’s track coach2) the class started before I got here3) will develop4) cloudy; the glass is a little dirty5) a symbol of happiness; wear black【原文】1) Man: I had the girls running in circles when I was in college.Woman: I never knew you were the campus hero.Man: I wasn't. I was the women's track coach.2) Instructor: Mr. Jenkins, why are you late?Student: I guess because the class started before I got here.3) Woman: Doctor, you have to come immediately--my baby swallowed some camera film!Doctor: Just calm yourself, nothing will develop.4) Customer: Waiter, this water is cloudy.Waiter: The water's okay, madam. It's just that the glass is a little dirty.5) Woman: The bride wears white on her wedding day as a symbol of happiness, for this is themost joyous day in her entire life.Man: Why does the groom wear black?Task 2【答案】Speakers Preferences Reasonslst speaker French Melodic; easy on the ear; poetic; a rhythm to thelanguage; rounded; no sharp, jagged edges; pleasing2nd speaker Dane speaking English Beautiful, low, sensitive, very soft quality3rd speaker French speaking English Nice pronunciation of "h" and "th"; very nice, steadyrhythms; gentle; lyrical4th speaker Mediterranean accents Mediterranean culture; gives English life; beautifulmixture of the serious Northern European and theSouthern European5th speaker Swedish accent Makes her smile; sing-songy; makes her want toimitate【原文】Catherine: I think firstly I find the French language, very melodic to listen to. It's very easy on the ear, and it almost sounds poetic. No matter what kind of mood the individual is in,who's talking, or what they're talking about, there seems to be a rhythm to the language.And it's rounded; there are no sharp, jagged edges to the language, so it's very pleasingto the ear.Chris: I think the accent I really like is the Dane speaking English. They sound awful when they speak Danish, but when they speak English there's a beautiful, low, sensitive, verysoft quality about it.Donald: I like the way they bring their French pronunciation into English. They can't pronounce "h"s and they can't pronounce "th" properly. And I think that actually sounds very nice.Also I like the rhythm: they bring French rhythms into English--nice, steady rhythmsand I like that too. It's just it, it... whenever I hear a French person speaking English itsounds more gentle and more lyrical.Lesley: I think the most attractive foreign accents for me are Mediterranean accents because they, if you like, import their own culture into the English accent and give it a lot of life that sometimes, that kind of--the gestures and everything that the English people don't have, so you get a beautiful mixture of the serious Northern European and the Southern European together.Susan: I like the Swedish accent because it, it makes me smile and the way it's spoken is so sing-songy that you can't help but smile when other people actually speak it. And it always makes you want to try and put the accent on yourself.Task 3【答案】spelling; meaning; history; a slab of ham; a lump of bread; hunk of something to eat; a strong man;a book of maps; the top bone of the neck; Olympians; holding the sky on his head and hands; Sixteenth; on the cover of a book of maps; blessing; I hope you will have a good night; day’s eye; it has a little golden eye, like a tiny sun; the English daisy closes at night; the English loved their daisies.【原文】The spelling and meaning of words are very interesting. But what's more interesting is the history of a word, or where it came from. Let's examine some of the words and see how they got into our language.LUNCH Lunch perhaps comes from an old Spanish word lonje, a slab of ham. We may also get our word from a form of lump, maybe a lump of bread, but whether lunch comes from ham or bread, it meant a hunk of something to eat.ATLAS An atlas is a strong man, and also a book of maps. The story of this word begins a long time ago in Greece. The ancient Greeks believed that their gods had once been a race of giants called Titans. The Titans fought with another group of gods called Olympians, and the Olympians won. Atlas was a Titan. He was punished for fighting by having to stand at the western edge of the world, holding the sky on his head and hands, so that it would not fall on the world and smash anything.After the ancient Greek religion died out, the idea of Atlas changed. From holding up the sky with his head and hands, he came to be thought of as holding the world on his shoulders. Mercator, a mapmaker of the sixteenth century, used a picture of Atlas on the cover of a book of maps, so a book of maps came to be called an atlas.The word has still another meaning. The top bone of the neck is called atlas because it supports the head.GOOD-BYE Good-bye is a blessing; originally it was God be with ye, and in the course of time it became one word. Many of our greetings are good wishes, but we say them with so little thought that we forget this. When we say good morning, good evening, good night, and so on, what we are really saying is, "I hope you will have a good morning (or evening, or night)."DAISY The daisy has a little golden eye, like a tiny sun. Perhaps this is the reason the English people named it day's eye, or perhaps they chose the name because the English daisy closes at night. The English loved their daisies, which were pink and red, as well as white. Six hundred years or so ago, the English poet Chaucer said:The daisy, or else the eye of the day,The queen, and prettiest flower of all.Task 4【答案】A.1) T2) T3) F4) T5) FB.1) b2) c3) a4) c5) c6) b【原文】MATTHEW: Chris, why is it that there are so many different languages , and that in Europe certainly if you travel more than a hundred miles , you're likely to find peoplespeaking a completely different language to your own?CHRIS: Well, it's true to say that there are er ... hundreds and hundreds of different languages.It's perhaps um . . . however , more interesting and more informative to say that thereare several different groups of languages er . .. Most European languages,with theexception of I think Finnish and er .. . Basque and . . . Hungarian I believe,belong tothe Indo-European group of languages, I'm not very sure myself of the . . . the actualdetails of the history of these languages, but you can be very sure that er ... most ofthese languages , say Latin and Greek nd our own language a and er . . . German ander ... French and ... all the others, are connected. The reason why you can travel fromone Willage to another in Switzerland and er . . . from one area to another in Englandand find different dialects, if not different languages spoken, is that um ... severalhundred years ago communication was by word of mouth. Word of mouth meant thatpeople had to move ; if people were to move they needed roads and there were noroads.MATTHEW: Do you see any chance for a universal language like Esperanto?CHRIS: Not for an artificial er ... language, no ... I suppose the Roman Catholic Church usedLatin. but Latin had a ... a particular religious basis and this is probably why it wastherefore chosen. I don't see very much chance for Esperanto; I think it's an awfullygood idea but I don't believe that language works like that.I think people willprobably er .. . work towards the most convenient language to use.They will not setout to learn a new language. It seems to me that er ... either English,. Russian orChinese, perhaps Japanese, will be the language of the future er . . . My bet's onEnglish.MATTHEW: Maggie, why do you think it is that so few English people speak a second language? MAGGIE: I think when you learn a language at school ...it tends to be rather a dead occupation, and it's very difficult to stimulate any interest among school children. But when youactually go to the country and spend say a month in . . . in an exchange visit whenyou're a schoolgirl, or a schoolboy um ... then you suddenly become more interestedbecause you ... you want to communicate with poeple when you're actually abroad,and it's not safe to rely on the fact that most people speak English when um . . . inforeign countries. Mm . . . I think English people traditionally thought that . . . thatforeigners always spoke English, and a lot of foreigners do, but there are people thatyou meet in the street or you want to take a bus somewhere, then you find that youneed to speak the language and'it's very unnerving to be in a situation where you can'tcommunicate with people when you do want to travel around.MATTHEW: Have you ever been abroad and learnt er ... a language in the country? MAGGIE: Yes , well when I was a secretary I er... went and lived in Geneva for two years, andI learnt French at school but I . . . I really didn't speak it at all. I knew it theoreticallybut I wasn't able to communicate with people. But I was in a situation where if I didn't speak French , then I would not have been able to do my shopping and buy food ,and so I picked the language up and I made friends with French people ... Swiss French people,and I found that if I wanted to communicate with all . . . all the people that I met ,then I had to learn French, and I think it's the best method of learning because you'rein the situation. It's very hard at times —you can sit through dinner parties and notunderstand what ... what's going on and you think everybody thinks you're stupidbecause you can't communicate with them, but it's ... it's the hard way but I think it'sthe best way to learn.MATTHEW: Elfriede, you come from Austria and yet you've been living in England now for the last three years. Has having to learn and speak another language created greatproblems?ELFRIEDE: Um ... At the beginning, yes, it was rather difficult for me to get the right job . . .um. after you've lived here for one or two years you get to know the system and thenthat's quite good. You know how to use libraries and oh .. . you get to know where toum... call in emergencies; um ... you get to know ... er ...trying to get a radio andunderstand the radio and all the . . . programmes they have . . . um and when they'reon and the little stories.MATTHEW: What about English humour on the radio?ELFRIEDE: Um . . . I think that takes a very very long time to understand and I'm sorry to say that I haven't managed yet to understand it completely, but er... I find it veryinteresting to speak other languages um ... because English people have differenter ...have a different mentality, and have a very different character and a differenttemperament and it is fascinating for me to talk to them um... and also for myself tobe able to express myself in a different language and to communicate with them.Task 5【答案】1) A mother is leaving instructions with her babysitter before going out.2) Wake up; give her the dummy; give her a cuddle; sing to her; read her a story; go back to sleep.3) Two friends are taking about their holiday together.4) It reminds.., of... holiday; city; wine; good food; tower; view; walking along the river; paintings;I love...; I like...; I remember...5) Two women are meeting at a doctor’s waiting room.6) It's diagnosed; have another look; do something about...; go away; give.., for...; it's your turn. 【原文】Number 1Fiona: Okay, Deek, I'm off now. [Okay.] Everything's okay, is it?Deek: Yes, I think so. The only thing is... is she likely to wake up?Fiona: No, I don't think so. She doesn't usually, but...Deek: What if she does?Fiona: Well, yes.

When they were speaking quickly, I mean.Lesley: Well, it is difficult, of course. And then I liked that tower, too.Fiona: You liked that tower? I'm not sure about it, really. (No) It's very unusual, right in the centre of the city.Lesley: True, but there's a lovely view from the top.Fiona: Oh, you went right up, didn't you? (Mm, yes) Oh no, I didn't.Lesley: Of course you didn't.Fiona: I remember that day. We weren't together.Lesley: No, that's right. (Mm) You went down by the river, didn't you?Fiona: That's it.

Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though they word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their voices. This self imitation leads on to deliberate imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need not get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation; and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use, at say seven months, of "mama" as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply Because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes.Playful and apparently meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents cash in on this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.Task 7【答案】Topic: Body language1.

You already "speak" it and "read" it. Body language is all of thesmall facial expressions, hand gestures and body movements that we make. We may not realize it, but each movement and expression says something about our feelings.In fact, we might say that body language is the clearest and most common way Of communicating our feelings directly to others. We all know the most obvious body "statements": We wave our hands in greeting, we shake hands, pat each other on the back, we hug friends and kiss loved ones. We smile, we laugh, we wink and we frown, and sometimes we cry. All of these gestures are called non-verbal communication (non-verbal means we do not use words to "say" what we feel.)Normally, we don't think very much about our body language. Our facial expressions and gestures are automatic and unconscious most of the time. But researchers tell us we might learn to under-stand each other a little better if we paid conscious attention to the hidden messages in body language. Let's consider a few of the more obvious facial, hand and body gestures.The human face is wonderfully rich in its ability to express feelings. The eyes, the eyebrows, the lips and the facial muscles are all capable of "saying" things.For example, we speak of "wide-eyed wonder". If the eyes open wide, that may mean surprise, wonder, excitement or sometimes fear. And that is an important thing to remember about body language--one element alone does not tell us everything. We have to see gestures in Combination. So wide eyes alone would not tell us whether the person was surprised, pleased or scared, but when we see wide eyes, a little smile and a slight tilt of the head, we understand that the person is "wonderfully pleased"."Squinty" eyes, tight lips, and the head pushed forward probably suggest anger or hostility.Half-closed eyes may suggest fatigue, boredom or indifference. But add a lowered tilt of the head, a fluttering of the eyelids and a slight smile, and we get a coy and flirtatious message.Strangely enough, one of the eye features over which we have very little control--the size of our pupils--says something about our interest in a subject. If we like something, our pupils get larger. Studies show that most men think a woman with large pupils is more "attractive" than the same woman with small pupils. But the men aren't really conscious of the pupils. They just know they like the "looks" better in the samples with large pupils. No wonder eye make-up is so popular.Eyebrows are almost like signal flags: one brow up, one down suggests doubt, disbelief or uncertainty. Both up means surprise or mistrust. Squeeze them together and we get a frown or scowl.The lips shape non-verbal as well as verbal messages. The smile is the most obvious, but try baring the teeth just on one side or pull the lips tightly across the teeth and the smile becomes a snarl and a threat. In this, and in many of our other body gestures, we are close to the animals.The lower lip by itself can say little things. The "pout" is a fat lower lip pushed way out. It means "I'm not happy because I'm not getting what I want." But if we tuck the lower lip into our mouth and bite it, we are conveying anxiety and fear. Licking the lips is a "dry mouth" gesture which usually means stress or anxiety.There are whole books written on hand gestures, and, in fact, hand or sign language has often been highly developed, especially as an aid to the deaf. But the routine hand language, such as pointing with the index finger to accuse someone, or the clenched fist beating in the air to threaten someone, is familiar to us all. But a clenched fist held close to the body usually means tension or anxiety while the open hands, palms up may mean "I'm innocent" or "give me" or "forgive me".Both hands raised up and facing the audience means "I give up" or "I surrender". But tilt the hands and palm down and extend the arm and it means "I bless" or "I give". The "pat on the head" is a kind of blessing or gesture of love and giving. We clap hands to indicate approval or in some cases to call someone or get attention.When the hands get very busy we say that someone "talks with his hands" and among certain individuals and cultures it is almost impossible to talk without a wild display of hand motions.If we are slightly puzzled by something, we may bring our finger to our lips. If it's a real puzzler, we scratch or rub our heads. If we do something wrong, we slap our heads. To start allover something, we often begin by taking our head in both hands to sort of clear our minds and "set our head on straight".These are only a sampling of the many types of body language. There are books which discuss everything from the way we pull an ear to the way we cross our legs. From the looks of things, the only people who don't communicate with body language are the writers. Readers never get to see how often the writer frowns, scratches his chin, slaps his head, purses his lips, stares at the ceiling and throws up his arms.Task 8In contemporary English, there are many reported differences in the talk of males and females . In same gender pairs having conversations, women generally discuss their personal feelings more than men . Men appear to prefer non-personal topics such as sport and news . Men tend to respond to mention personal experiences that match or connect with the other woman’s . There is a pattern documented in the American English social context of women cooperating and seeking connection via language, whereas men are more competitive and concerned with power via language . In mixed-gender pairs having conversations, the rate of men interrupting women is substantially greater than he reverse. Women are reported to use more expressions associated with tentativeness , such as “hedges”(sort of , kind of ) and “tags”(isn’t it ? , don’t you ?) , when expressing an opinion : Well ,erm , I think that golf is kind of boring , don’t you ?。
