OneBirds are famous for carrying things around.Some, like homing pigeons, can be trained to deliver messages and packages.Other birds unknowingly carry seeds that cling to them for the ride.Canadian scientists have found a worrisome, new example of the power that birds have to spread stuff around.Way up north in the Canadian Arctic, seabirds are picking up dangerous chemicals in the ocean and delivering them to ponds near where the birds live.Some 10,000 pairs of the birds, called fulmars, a kind of Arctic seabird, make their nests on Devon Island, north of the Arctic Circle.The fulmars travel some 400 kilometers over the sea to find food.When they return home, their droppings end up all around their nesting sites, including in nearby ponds.Previously, scientists noticed pollutants arriving in the Arctic with the wind.Salmon also carry dangerous chemicals as the fish migrate between rivers and the sea.The bodies of fish and other meat-eaters can build up high levels of the chemicals.To test the polluting power of fulmars, researchers collected samples of deposit from 11 ponds on Devon Island.In ponds closest to the colony, the results showed there were far more pollutants than in ponds less affected by the birds.The pollutants in the ponds appear to come from fish that fulmars eat when they're out on the ocean.People who live, hunt, or fish near bird colonies need to be careful, the researchers say.The birds don't mean to cause harm, but the chemicals they carry can cause major problems.Questions 9 to 12 are based on the passage you have just

TwoIn recent years, the death rate among American centenarians—people who have lived to age 100 or older— has decreased, dropping 14 percent for women and 20 percent for men from 2023 to 2023.The leading causes of death in this age group are also changing.In 2023, the top five causes of death for centenarians were heart disease, stroke, flu, cancer and Alzheimer's disease.But by 2023, the death rate from Alzheimer's disease for this age group had more than doubled—increasing from 3.8 percent to 8.5 percent—making the progressive brain disease the second leading cause of death for centenarians.One reason for the rise in deaths from Alzheimer's disease in this group may be that developing this condition remains possible even after people beat the odds of dying from other diseases such as cancer.People physically fit enough to survive over 100 years ultimately give in to diseases such as Alzheimer's which affects the mind and cognitive function.In other words, it appears that their minds give out before their bodies do.On the other hand, the death rate from flu dropped from 7.4 percent in 2023 to 4.1 percent in 2023.That pushed flu from the third leading cause of death to the fifth.Overall, the total number of centenarians is going up.In 2023, there were 72,197 centenarians, compared to 50,281 in 2023.But because this population is getting larger, the number of deaths in this group is also increasing— 18,434 centenarians died in 2023, whereas 25,914 died in 2023.Questions 13 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Questio.13.Wha.doe.th.speake.sa.abou.th.ris.o.dyin.fo.America.centenari

I think what we need to do is consider a definition.I'm going to define what love is but then most of the experiments I'm going to talk about are really focused more on attraction than love.And I'm going to pick a definition from a former colleague, Robert Sternberg, who is now the dean at Tufts University but was here on our faculty at Yale for nearly thirty years.And he has a theory of love that argues that it's made up of three components: intimacy, passion, and commitment, or what is sometimes called decision commitment.And these are relatively straightforward.He argued that you don't have love if you don't have all three of these elements.Intimacy is the feeling of closeness, of connectedness with someone, of bonding.Operationally, you could think of intimacy as you share secrets, you share information with this person that you don't share with anybody else.Okay.That'rmatio.tha.i sn'.share.wit.othe.people.The second element is passion.Passion is the drive that leads to romance.You can think of it as physical attraction.And Sternberg argues that this is a required component of a love relationship.The third element of love in Sternberg's theory is what he calls decision commitment, the decision that one is in a love relationship, the willingness to label it as such, and a commitment to maintain that relationship at least for some period of time.Sternberg would argue it's not love if you don't call it love and if you don't have some desire to maintain the relationship.So if you have all three of these, intimacy, passion and commitment, in Sternberg's theory you have love.Now what's interesting about the theory is what do you have if you only have one out of three or two out of three.What do you have and how is it different if you have a different two out of three?What's interesting about this kind of theorizing is it gives rise to many different combinations that can be quite interesting when you break them down and start to look them carefully.So what I've done is I've taken Sternberg's three elements of love, intimacy, passion and commitment, and I've listed out the different kinds of relationships you would have if you had zero, one, two or three out of the three elements.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Questio.16.Wha.doe.th.speake.sa.abou.mos.o.th.experiment.mentione.i.h

I am Elizabeth Hoffler, Master of Social Work.I am a social worker, a lobbyist, and a special assistant to the executive director at the National Association of Social Workers.Today we are going to be talking about becoming a social worker.Social work is the helping profession.Its primary mission is to enhance human well-being and help meet thebasic needs of all people, with a particular focus on those who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty.We often deal with complex human needs.Social work is different from other professions, because we focus on the person and environment.We deal with the external factors that impact a person's situation and outlook.And we create opportunity for assessment and intervention, to help clients and communities cope effectively with their reality and change that reality when necessary.In thousands of ways social workers help other people, people from every age, every background, across the country.Wherever needed, social workers come to help.The most well-known aspect of the profession is that of a social safety net.We help guide people to critical resources and counsel them on life-changing decisions.There are more than 600,000 professional social workers in the country, and we all either have a bachelor's degree, a master's degree, or a PhD in Social Work.There are more clinically trained social workers than clinically trained psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric nurses combined.Throughout this series you will learn more about the profession, the necessary steps to get a social work degree, the rich history of social work, and the many ways that social workers help others.Later in this series, you will hear from Stacy Collins and Mel Wilson, fellow social workers at the National Association of Social Workers.Stacy is going to walk you through the step-by-step process of becoming a social worker, and Mel will tell you about the range of options you have once you get your social work degree, as well as the high standards of responsibility he social workers must adhere to.The National Association of Social Workers represents nearly 145,000 social workers across the country.Our mission is to promote, protect, and advance the social work profession.We hope you enjoy this series about how you can make a difference by becoming a social worker.Next, we are going to talk about choosing social work.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the recording you have just heard.Questio.19.Wha.doe.th.speake.mainl.tal.about?Questio.20.Wha.d.socia.worker.mainl.do?mon.accordin.t.th.speaker?Questio.22.Wha.i.Me.Wilso.goin.t.tal.abou.i.th.series?Recording ThreeToday, I'd like to talk about what happens when celebrity role models get behind healthy habits, but at the same time, promote junk food.Currently, there's mounting criticism of Michelle Obama's “Let's Move!”campaign, which fights childhood obesity by encouraging youngsters to become more physically active, and has signed on singer Beyoncéand basketball player Shaquille O'Neal, both of whom also endorse sodas, which are a major contributor to the obesity epidemic.Now there's a lot more evidence of how powerful a celebrity— especially a professional athlete— can be in influencing children's behavior.In a report published by the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University, researchers studied 100 professional athletes and their endorsement contracts.The team focused on athletes since they are theoretically the best role models for active, healthy lifestyles for children.After sorting the deals by category, they determined that among the 512 brands associated with the athletes, most involved sporting goods, followed closely by food and beverage brands.Sports drinks, which are often high in sugar and calories made up most ofthe food and drink deals, with soft drinks and fast food filling out the remainder.Of the 46 beverages endorsed by professional athletes, 93% relied exclusively on sugar for all of their calories.It's no surprise that high-profile athletes can influence children's eating behaviors, but the scientists were able to quantify how prevalent these endorsements are in the children's environment.Advertisements featuring professional athletes and their endorsed products tend to get impressive exposure on TV, radio, in print and online.And in 2023, the researchers reported that children ages 12 to 17 saw more athlete-endorsed food and beverage brand commercials than adults.One reason any campaign wants a popular celebrity spokesperson is because kids are attracted to them no matter what they are doing.We can't expect kids to turn off that admiration when the same person is selling sugar.At best, kids might be confused.At worst, they'll think the messages about soda are the same as the messages about water, but those two beverages aren't the same.If children are turning to athletes as role models, it's in their best interest if their idols are consistent.Consistent messaging of positive behaviors will show healthier lifestylesfor kids to follow.Questions 23 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Questio.23.Wha.i.th.ai.o.Michell.Obama'.campaign?Questio.24.Wha.doe.researc.fin.abou.advertisement.featurin.professiona. athletes?Questio.25.Wha.doe.th.speake.thin.kids.idol.shoul.do?对话一男:

And we'll submit it to my professor tomorrow.B:Oh,[Q1]I haven't even started writing mine yet.So I'm really worried dpout finishing by the end of next semester.A:You mean you haven't even begun yours yet?The final draft is due in five months.B:Of course[Q1]I've startedit,but I can't get to the writing yet,as I haven't found enough res migis to use.So I'm still researching the topic.A:Maybe the problem is the way you're doing your research.[Q2]I started by talking to my professor about where to look for information. And based on that,I found books in the library and a lot of reputable journal articles on the internet.B:I've tried all that,but don't have enough to write the dissertation. As my department's minimum length is70pages.I think the problem is that my topic isn't viable.And honestly,[Q3]my professor did warn me at the beginning,that I might not be able to find enough material.But I was so interested in the topicthat I didn't let his advice deter me.A:Well,I suggest you find a new topic.After all,our professors are here to guide us so it's best to listen to them.B:In retrospect,[Q3]IwishIhad listened to him,but I didn't.And now I don't want to give up my topic,as I've already invested so much time and energy.A:If you're committed to your current topic,maybe you could make some adjustments rather than abandoning it completely.What is your topic?B:It's depictions of femininity in folklore from the south of the country.A:That's pretty narrow.You.cgalg Find more material if you made the topic broader maybe by including other kinds of depictions.B:[Q4]Broadening the topic is a great idea.I'l start by including folklore from other regions of the country.Question1What does the woman say about her dissertation?Question2What does the man say about his professor?Question3What does the woman say about her professor?Question4What do we learn the woman will do to complete her dissertition?听力长对话真题原文Conversation2W:Today on Book Talk,we're lucky enough to host John Robbins and discuss his new book,why Americans are fat and how we can lose weight.John isn't just a respected writer,he's also one of the rare celebrity authors writing about science today.(Question5)M:Thanks for having me,Rebecca,but I'm hardly a celebrityW∶That's very modest of you to say，considering that your four books have sold a total of7million copies worldwide.And they've been translated into12different languages.What makes people so fascinated with your work?M:Well,people read my books because more than60%of Americans areoverweight or obese,and other countries are facing similar problems Basically,we all want to know how to fix things.(Question6)W:We certainly do.I read your new book,and it's fabulous, especially when it comes to the way you make diffigult science easy for laymen to understand.That's no small achievement.M:I'm glad to hear you find my work accessible.Because I was worried when I wrote it,that discussing the science might make the book more suited for a specialist audience.My last book was written primarily for the medical community.(Question7)But this time,I want to help ordinary people take control of their weightW:And how do you suggest they do that?Can you give us the basics of your advice for people who want to lose weight?M:Briefly,I argue that every person needs to consider their metabolism,and eat what suits their body's needs.I don't advocate one single diet.(Question8)Some people should eat more carbohydrates than others.And different people need different amounts of protein fat.W:But you do have some recommendations for everyone,including eating10servings of vegetables and three of fruit a day.Welltalk about those recommendations next,but now we need to take a short break for a message from our sponsor.Question5:What does the woman say about the man in her introduction?Question6:What has motivated the man to write his books?。

How can it be just okay when last week you were thrilled about the place and kept posting photos of it online?W: (1) Well, last week when I moved in, the apartment seemed cozy, just the right size for one person. But now it just seems tiny, shabby and solitary.M: Ah, that’s the problem. You miss your roommates from university, don’t you?W:(2) I’m going to sound like an idiot, because I used to complain to you all the time about how crowded our dormitory room was, and about all the things they did to irritate me, like watching movies late at night without headphones, or talking loudly early in the morning. But now I miss them terribly. M: Of course, you do. That’s perfectly normal. (3) When I got my first place, I remember thinking I couldn’t wait to live by myself and get away from my juvenile roommates and all their annoying habits. But then I began missing them and feeling lonely and thinking that our dormitory was like paradise. Even though there were six of us guys in one small room.W: I thought it was just me who felt like that.M:Look, you lived at home with us, and then you had three roommates, and this is your first time living alone, so it’s hard. But your first apartment is a milestone in your life. And you should celebrate it. Tell me about the apartment.W: Actually, it’s not bad. In fact, it’s pretty adorable now that I have decorated it and it has everything I need. I have a kitchen to cook in and a bathroom all to myself, and then another room with my bed at one end and a sofa, a small table and chairs at the other end.M: That does sound adorable, and (4) I can’t wait to see it. And neither can mom and dad.Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q1. What was the woman’s first impression of the apartment? 答案: B)Q2. Why does the woman say she’s going to sound like an idiot? 答案: B)Q3. What do we learn about the man when he left the dormitory to live on his own? 答案: C)Q4. What does the man say he can’t wait to do? 答案: A)Conversation TwoW: Welcome to our program book talk. (5) Our guest today is Frank Jones, a critic of our education system and the author of a new book, How to Reform Our Universities.M: Hello, Susan.W: Frank, you support radically changing universities in America.M:Yes. (6) I believe that the purpose of higher education is to prepare young people to enter the workforce and that our current system fails to do this. We’re allocating too many resources to disciplines that don’t match the needs of employers.W:I think your attitude to education is a bit cynical, Frank. Surely the purpose of university is to prepare young people to participate fully in civic life rather than just to find well paid jobs.M: Susan, many young graduates struggle to find any job, let alone a good one. The job market is grim, particularly for students who study the arts.W:I agree that it isn’t easy for young people to find work, but you propose closing down all departments that aren’t directly related to science and technology. Is that really the solution?M: You’re overstating my point. (7) My argument is that we need to use more of our budget on areas like science and engineering. To do that, we need to take money from subjects like literature and music.W: (8) But the arts have value. They’re an important part of our culture. Studying literature or music or sculpture might not result in a job in that area, but it helps young people to think about the world in a deeper way, which makes them better citizens and makes for a better society.M: l agree that the arts are valuable to society, but it’s naive to think that not only the most talented, but all students should study them at university level. The odds are very competitive, and most graduates will end up with a great deal of debt obtaining a degree that has little value on the job market. Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q5. What do we learn from the conversation about the man? 答案: D)Q6. What does the man believe is the problem with the current American system of higher education? 答案: C)Q7. How should the education budget be allocated according to the man? 答案: A)Q8. What does the woman say the arts can do? 答案: D)Passage One(9) Do you ever have the annoying feeling that you don’t have time to really think anymore? You’re not alone. A variety of factors have conspired to rob us of time for reflection about ourselves and our lives. Today our preoccupied minds are rarely silent. The average person receives hundreds of texts and voice messages a day. And holidays for many of us are action packed weeks more likely full of family activities than opportunities for tranquility and contemplation.(10) Regular reflection, however, underlies all great professionals. It’s a prerequisite for you to recharge your mental batteries, see things in a new light and tap into your creativity. Almost all of the great advisors that I have studied have found ways to get away from it all and contemplate their life and work. Some researchers in the field of creativity, in fact, believe that insight occurs during the reflection and relaxation that follows a period of intense activity. Schedule your time for reflection about your work, or a particular project you’re engaged in.I usually block out half an hour. Don’t answer the phone. Push your papers to the side. Sketch, make lists, draw mind maps of ideas that come to you. At the end, write down any emerging ideas.When you’re alone, stop worrying and think. A lot of our downtime is spent worrying about troublesome things in our lives or fantasizing about how we’d like our lives to be. (11) Revisit things during moments of relaxation after a period of intense work. This is when we are the most creative. Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q9. What do we learn about the feeling that one doesn’t have time to think anymore? 答案: A)Q10. What trait do all great professionals share? 答案: B)Q11. What do some researchers believe is conducive to creative ideas? 答案: D)Passage Two(12) Even before Colorado was a state, it had post offices. The first opened in 1859 in a settlement founded by migrants searching for gold. Life could be unpredictable out west. Gold failed to appear，drought ruined farmers, and settlers clashed with Native Americans.On the settlement’s location, now stands a sprawling university campus. Amid all the changes, one feature remained constant: the postal service. The maps tracing America’s westward expansion are telling. In 1864 there were few postal branches on land controlled by Native Americans, which still accounted for most of the West. Over the next 25 years, post offices grew quickly. Colonization of the West could be regarded as a result of big government rather than pioneers. (13) As federal subsidies and land grants tempted people into the deserts and plains, the post kept them connected.In the mid-19th century, the Post Office Department was far from a centralized bureaucracy. To keep up with migration patterns, postal services were added to existing businesses. (14) The federal government commissioned private wagons to carry the mail. Short-term contracts were granted to local businessmen to act as postmasters. These partnerships enabled the mail to quickly follow migrants, helping knit together remote parts of the country.Mr. Blevins, a digital historian, wrote a book on the history of the US postal service. (15) He used data science to analyze historical trends. Most strikingly, he built an accompanying website complete with interactive maps. They show readers how, within a generation, the postal service helped colonize a continent. These online interactive maps illustrate the formative power of snail mail.Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.Q12. What does the passage say about Colorado before it became a state? 答案: C)Q13. How did the postal service contribute to America’s westward expansion? 答案: D)Q14. What did the federal government do to meet the increasing demand for the postal service in the West? 答案: B)Q15. What did Mr. Blevins do to study the history of the US postal service? 答案: C)Recording OneIn last week’s lecture, we discussed reasons why people forget things. This week, we will discuss a surprising reason why we might remember some things: anxiety. Think about something as simple as buying a coffee. That may not seem like an experience that would make a deep impression on your memory. But anxiety could change that. (16) In fact, a new study suggests that people with higher anxiety levels might remember certain information better than people with lower anxiety levels. That’s because higher levels of anxiety may make people more susceptible to negative feelings. Putting them in a more negative state of mind, that in turn, may make them able to better remember some events. Let’s take a closer look at that new study now. (17) In the study, the researchers started by giving 80 undergraduate students an anxiety test. The test measured the participants’anxiety levels over the proceeding two weeks.Then, to test memory, the participants were shown a series of neutral words one at a time. Some of the words were printed onto photos of negative scenes, meaning images that could affect their emotions negatively, such as a photo of a car accident, or a cemetery. The rest of the words were printed onto photos of neutral scenes, such as a photo of a lake or trees. Neutral words included words like table or desk that don’t elicit emotion.Later, the participants were asked to think back to the words they were shown earlier, which caused them to reenter either a negative or neutral mindset. The participants were then presented with another set of neutral words, and their memory of these new words was tested.The researchers found that the new words presented to people in a negative mindset were better remembered by people with higher levels of anxiety than those with lower levels of anxiety.In other words, when highly anxious individuals took in otherwise emotionally neutral information that was presented to them, it became colored by their negative mindset, making them remember the information better. But these same effects were not seen in people with low levels of anxiety.(18) Previous studies have found that extreme levels of anxiety such as those experienced by people diagnosed with an anxiety disorder can be quite detrimental to memory and cognitive performance. But the highly anxious people in this study represent individuals who are managing their anxiety and for whom anxiety is not a serious problem.Questions 16 to 18 are based on the recording you have just heard.Q16. What does the speaker say the new study suggests? 答案: A)Q17. What did researchers do first in the new study? 答案: C)Q18. What do we learn from previous studies about anxiety? 答案: B)Recording TwoOver the past 20 years, the internet has gradually become a dominant feature of our lives. It has changed how we communicate with each other. And it has definitely transformed the way we do business with each other. Marketing has also changed in a number of ways.For instance, in the past, consumers had to call a phone number and patiently wait on hold in order to get the information they wanted. (19) Today, they want the information immediately. They’ll go to the company’s social media page and post comments and questions, expecting to receive an immediate response. If they don’t get their questions answered soon, they’ll move on to another company that will answer them quickly.Marketing departments today need to follow technological development. For example, this year’s smartphone is smarter than last year’s; self-driving cars are now on the road. Marketers have to do research on which technologies are coming into being. Otherwise, they risk being left behind in the virtual dust.Marketing has also changed due to the importance of video. People don’t just want to read text; they want to watch things happening. Companies now have to explore how they can use video on a consistent basis to share information about their businesses. Fortunately, it’s extremely easy to shoot something these days. All you need is a smartphone.But what’s the result of all this? Shorter attention spans. We are n’t the same people that we were 20 years ago. Not only have we grown accustomed to getting the information we want instantaneously, our attention spans are much shorter. If something doesn’t capture our attention within a few seconds, we’re on to the next piece of content. (20) Marketers need to figure out ways to speak directly to the customer’s emotions, and they need to figure out how to do that as quickly as possible. Once people are emotionally engaged, they’ll stick with you.If marketing has changed this much in the past 20 years, imagine what the next 20 years will bring. In a recent survey, only nine percent of marketers could say with confidence that their marketing efforts were actually working. Their confidence is being shaken because the rules of the game change every year. That’s why (21) it’s important for marketers to pay attention to the latest technologicaldevelopments and consider collaborating with technological innovators. That way, they’ll be moving at the same pace as the tech industry.Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard.Q19. What does the speaker say about today’s consumers? 答案: D)Q20. How do marketers capture consumers’ attention as quickly as possible? 答案: C)Q21. What does the speaker suggest marketers do to meet future challenges? 答案: B)Recording ThreeYou might be surprised to learn that (22) the benefits of friendships extend beyond people’s social life and into their work, which is interesting when considering the extent to which people sacrifice friendships, or at least the time they spend with friends because of the extended hours they’re devoting to work. Just last week, I was remarking to a colleague that I’m content with only one social engagement per week. But according to recent research, that’s evidently not enough.(23) In an initial study of more than 700 respondents, scholars from an American university analyzed the impact that friends, as opposed to family, have on self-esteem and well-being. Friends came out substantially on top. That’s because to be someone’s mate is a voluntary act, unlike family who people rarely get to choose. The researchers found that when people choose to cultivate and maintain supportive friendships with an individual, it means that the person is valued and worthy of their limited time. Such sentiments of value and worthiness boost our self-esteem.The second study comprised more than 300 participants. It proved that the better we feel about ourselves, the more likely we will perform our job confidently and competently. (24) This follow-up study found that non-work friends even improved people’s job satisfaction. They have as much of an impact on how much they love their jobs, as do the friends they have at work, despite not actually being at our place of work. These types of friends tend to be our preferred outlet for venting about work-related matters. This is an avenue that may not be available at the office.So even though friendships can be easy to neglect when confronted by pressures at work, or even pressures at home, neglecting our friends can turn out to be harmful and counterproductive. That’s why when determining how to create a better work life balance, we need to consider not only how to balance work and family demands, but also how to cultivate and sustain supportive friendships. It’s for this reason that (25) managers should never discriminate when it comes to requests from employees for flexible work arrangements. It’s irrelevant whether their need for a desired schedule is due to, say, parenting responsibilities, or a craving to hang out with their best mate. What matters is the opportunity to engage in a nourishing activity outside of work. That will definitely have a follow-on effect at work. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the recording you have just heard.Q22. What does the speaker say is interesting? 答案: D)Q23. What did researchers from an American university analyze in their initial study? 答案: A)Q24. What did the second study find about non-work friends? 答案: D)Q25. What does the speaker suggest managers do? 答案: A)。

Harrogate became a fashionable resort during Victorian times,when people came to take a bath in the mineral waters.Today,few people come to visit the town for its mineral waters.Instead,Harrogate has become a popular town for people to retire to.Its clean air, attractive parks,and the absence of any industry,make this an ideal spot for people looking for a quiet life.Now,to tell us more about Harrogate,I have with me Tom Percival, President of the Chamber of Commerce.Tom,one of the things visitor notices about Harrogate is the large area of open park land right down into the middle of the town.Can you tell us more about it?M:Yes,certainly.The area is called the Stray.W:Why the Stray?M:It’s called that because in the old days,people let their cattle stray on the area,which was common land.W:Oh,I see.M:Then,we’ve changes in farming and in land ownership.The Stray became part of the land owned by Harrogate.W:And is it protected?M:Oh,yes,indeed.As a special law,no one can build anything on the stray.It’s protected forever.W:So it will always be park land?M:That’s right.As you can see,some of the Stray is used for sports fields.W:I believe it looks lovely in the spring.M:Yes,it does.There’re spring flowers on the old trees,and people visit the town just to see the flowers.Question22-25are based on the conversation you have just heard.Q22.Where does this conversation most probably take place?Q23.What do we learn about modern Harrogate?Q24.What does the man say about the area called the Stray?Q25.What attracts people most in the Stray during the spring time?答案：22.B)In a resort town.23.D)It is an ideal place for people to retire to.24.D)It is protected as parkland by a special law.25.C)The beautiful flowers.Section BDirections:In this section,you will hear3short passages.At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions.Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once.After you hear a question,you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B),C)and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneRussell Fazio,an Ohio State psychology professor who has studied interracial roommates there and at Indiana University,discovered an intriguing academic effect.In a study analyzing data on thousands of Ohio State freshmen who lived in dorms,he found that black freshmen who came to college with high standardized test scores earned better grades if they had a white roommate—even if the roommate’s test scores were low.The roommate’s race had no effect on the grades of white students or low-scoring black students.Perhaps,the study speculated,having a white roommate helps academically prepared black students adjust to a predominantly white university.That same study found that randomly assigned interracial roommates at Ohio State broke up before the end of the quarter about twice as often as same-race roommates.Because interracial roommate relationships are often problematic,Dr.Fazio said,many students would like to move out,but university housing policies may make it hard to leave.“At Indiana University,where housing was not so tight,more interracial roommates split up,”he said.“Here at Ohio State,where housing was tight,they were told to work it out. The most interesting thing we found was that if the relationship managed to continue for just10weeks,we could see an improvement in racial attitudes.”Dr.Fazio’s Indiana study found that three times as many randomly assigned interracial roommates were no longer living together at the end of the semester,compared with white roommates.The interracial roommates spent less time together,and had fewer joint activities than the white pairs.Question26-2926.What do we know about Russell Fazio?27.Who benefited from living with a white roommate according to Fazio’s study?28.What did the study find about randomly assigned interracial roommates at Ohio State University?29.What did Dr.Fazio find interesting about interracial roommates who had lived together for10weeks?答案：26,C.He specialized in interpersonal relationship.27.D.Black freshman with high standardized scores28,C.They broke up more often than same-race roommates29,C.The racial attitudes improved.Passage twoIn a small laboratory at the Medical University of South Carolina,Dr.Vladimir Mironov has been working for a decade to grow meat.A developmental biologist and tissue engineer, Dr.Mironov,is one of only a few scientists worldwide involved in bioengineering'cultured' meat.It's a product he believes could help solve future global food crises resulting from shrinking amounts of land available for growing meat the old-fashioned way.“Growth of cultured meat is also under way in the Netherlands”,Mironov told Reuters in an interview,“but in the United States,it is science in search of funding and demand.”The new National Institute of Food and Agriculture won't fund it,the National Institutes of Health won't fund it,and the NASA funded it only briefly,Mironov said."It's classic disruptive technology,"Mironov said."Bringing any new technology on the market,on average,costs$1billion.We don't even have$1million."Director of the Advanced Tissue Biofabrication Center in the Department of Regenerative Medicine and Cell Biology at the medical university,Mironov now primarily conducts research on tissue engineering,or growing,of human organs."There's an unpleasant factor when people find out meat is grown in a lab.They don't like to associate technology with food,"said Nicholas Genovese,a visiting scholar in cancer cell biology."But there are a lot of products that we eat today that are considered natural that are produced in a similar manner,"Genovese said.30.What does Dr.Mironov think of bioengineering cultured meat?31.What does Dr.Mironov say about the funding for their research?32.What does Nicholas Genovese say about a lot of products we eat today?答案：30,A.It will help solve the global food crisis.31,D.It is still far from being sufficient.32,D.They are not as natural as we believed.Passage threeBernard Jackson is a free man today,but he has many bitter memories.Jackson spent five years in prison after a jury wrongly convicted him of raping two women.At Jackson's trial,although two witnesses testified that Jackson was with them in another location at the times of the crimes,he was convicted anyway.Why?The jury believed the testimony of the two victims,who positively identified Jackson as the man who has attacked them. The court eventually freed Jackson after the police found the man who had really committed the crimes.Jackson was similar in appearance to the guilty man.The two women has made a mistake in identity.As a result,Jackson has lost five years of his life.The two women in this case were eyewitnesses.They clearly saw the man whoattacked them,yet they mistakenly identified an innocent person.Similar incidents have occurred before.Eyewitnesses to other crimes have identified the wrong person in a police lineup or in photographs.Many factors influence the accuracy of eyewitness testimony.For instance,witnesses sometimes see photographs of several suspects before they try to identify the person they saw in a lineup of people.They can become confused by seeing many photographs or similar faces.The number of people in the lineup,and whether it is a live lineup or a photograph,may also affect a witness's decision.People sometimes have difficulty identifying people of other races.The questions the police ask witnesses also have an effect on them.Question33:What do we learn about Bernard Jackson?Question34:What led directly to Jackson’s sentence?Question35:What lesson do we learn from Jackson’s case?答案：33,A.He was wrongly imprisoned34,A.The two victims’identification35,B.Many factors influence the accuracy of witness testimony.Section CDirections:In this section,you will hear a passage three times.When the passage is read for the first time,you should listen carefully for its general idea.When the passage is read for the second time,you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from36to43with the exact words you have just heard.For blanks numbered from44to46you are required to fill in the missing information.For these blanks,you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words.Finally,when the passage is read for the third time,you should check what you have written.答案：36.slight37.official38.shrinking39.plunge40.decline41.primary42.heads43.Poverty44.Hampered by higher taxes and weak demand for its exports,Mexico's economy is seen only partially recovering this year.45.Mexico has historically had high drop-out rates as poor families pull kids out of school to help put food on the table，46.The nation's drop-out problem is just the latest bad news for the long-term competitiveness of the Mexican economy.2011年12月六级听力原文Part III Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections:In this section,you will hear8short conversations and2long conversations.At the end of each conversation,one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.After each question there will be a pause.During the pause,you must read the four choices marked A),B),C) and D),and decide which is the best answer.Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.11.W:This crazy bus schedule has got me completely confused.I can’t figure out when my bus to Cleveland leaves?M:Why don’t you just go to the ticket window and ask?Q:What does the man suggest the woman do?12.W:I really enjoyed the TV special about drafts last night.Did you get home in time to see it?W:Oh,yes,but I wish I could have stayed awake long enough to see the whole thing.Q:What does the man mean?13.W:Airport,please.I’m running a little late.So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct.M:Sure,but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game.Q:What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?14.W:May I make a recommendation,sir?Our seafood with this special sauce is very good. M:Thank you,but I don’t eat shellfish.I’m allergic to it.Q:Where does this conversation most probably take place?15.W:now one more question if you don’t mind,what position in the company appeals to you most?M:Well,I’d like the position of sales manager if that position is still vacant.Q:What do we learn about the man?16.M:I don’t think I want to live in the dormitory next year.I need more privacy.W:I know what you mean.But check out the cost if renting an apartment first.I won’t be surprised if you change your mind.Q:What does the woman imply?17.M:You’re on the right track.I just think you need to narrow the topic down.W:Yeah,you’re right.I always start by choosing two boarder topics when I’m doing a research paper.Q:What do we learn from the conversation?18.W:This picnic should beat the last one we went to,doesn’t it?M:Oh,yeah,we had to spend the whole time inside.Good thing,the weather was cooperative this time.What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?Long ConversationConversation OneM:When I say I live in Sweden,people always want to know about the seasons.W:The seasons?M:Yeah,you know how cold it is in winter?What is it like when the days are so short? W:So what is it like?M:Well,it is cold,very cold in winter.Sometimes it is cold as26degrees below centigrade.And of course when you go out,you’ll wrap up warm.But inside in the houses it’s always very warm,much warmer than at home.Swedish people always complain that when they visit England,the houses are cold even in the good winter.W:And what about the darkness?M:Well,yeah,around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight,so you really looks forward to the spring.It is sometimes a bit depressing.But you see the summers are amazing,from May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never sets.It’s still light in the midnight.You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.W:Oh,yeah,the land of the midnight sun.M:Yeah,that’s right,but it’s wonderful.You won’t stay up all night.And the Swedes makes most of it often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about2or3 in the afternoon,so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings.They’d like to work hard,but play hard,too.I think Londoners work longer hours,but I’m not sure this is a good thing.Q19:What do we learn about the man from the conversation?Q20:What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter?Q21:How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden? Q21:What does the man say about the Swedish people?Conversation TwoW:What kind of training does one need to go into this type of job?M:That’s a very good question.I don’t think there is any,specifically.W:For example,in your case,what was your educational background?M:Well,I did a degree in French at Nottingham.After that,I did careers work in secondary schools like the careers guidance people.Here is in the university.Then I went into local government because I found I was more interested in the administrative side.Then progressed on to universities.So there wasn’t any plan and there was no specific training. There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now.W:But in the first place,you did a French degree.M:In my time,there wasn’t a degree you could do for administration.I think most of the administrators I’ve come across have degrees and all sorts of things.W:Well,I know in my case,I did an English literature degree and I didn’t really expect to end up doing what I am doing now.M:Quite.W:But you are local to Nottingham,actually?Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University?M:No,no,I come from the north of England,from west Yorkshire.Nottingham was one of the universities I put on my list.And I like the look of it.The campus is just beautiful.W:Yes,indeed.Let’s see.Were you from the industrial part of Yorkshire?M:Yes,from the Woolen District.Q23.What was the man’s major at university?Q24:What was the man’s job in secondary schools?Q25:What attracted the man to Nottingham University?Section BPassage OneWhile Gail Obcamp,an American artist was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan,she was confused to see that many of her Japanese listeners have their eyes closed.Were they tuned off because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form or they deliberately tried to signal their rejection of her?Obcamp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful.Japanese listeners sometimes closed their eyes to enhance concentration. Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words.Some day youmay be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of minority group in North America.Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings.Here are some examples.In the deaf culture of North America,many listeners show applause not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air.In some cultures,both overseas and in some minority groups in North America,listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker. Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact.In some countries,whistling by listeners is a sign of approval while in other courtiers it is a form of insult.Questions:26,What did Obcamp’s speech focus on?27,Why do Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes while listening to a speech? 28,What does the speaker try to explain?Passage TwoChris is in charge of purchasing and maintaining equipment in his Division at Taxlong Company.He is soon going to have an evaluation interview with his supervisor and the personnel director to discuss the work he has done in the past year.Salary,promotion and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting.Chris has made several changes for his Division in the past year.First,he bought new equipment for one of the departments.He has been particularly happy about the new equipment because many of the employees have told him how much it has helped them.Along with improving the equipment,Chris began a program to train employees to use equipment better and do simple maintenance themselves.The training saved time for the employees and money for the company.Unfortunately,one serious problem developed during the year.Two employees the Chris hired were stealing,and he had to fire them.Chris knows that a new job for a purchasing and maintenance manager for the whole company will be open in a few months,and he would like to be promoted to the job.Chris knows,however,that someone else wants that new job,too.Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another Division of the company.She has also made several changes over the year. Chris knows that his boss likes Kim’s work,and he expects that his work will be compared with hers.Questions29to32are based on the passage you have just heard.29.What is Chris’s main responsibility at Taxlong Company?30.What problem did Chris encounter in his Division?31.What does Chris hope for in the near future?32.What do we learn about Kim from the passage?Passage ThreeProverbs,sometimes called sayings,are examples of folk wisdom.They are little lessonswhich older people of a culture pass down to the younger people to teach them about life. Many proverbs remind people of the values that are important in the culture.Values teach people how to act,what is right,and what is wrong.Because the values of each culture are different,understanding the values of another culture helps explain how people think and act.Understanding your own culture values is important too.If you can accept that people from other cultures act according to their values,not yours,getting along with them will be much easier.Many proverbs are very old.So some of the values they teach may not be as important in the culture as they once were.For example,Americans today do not pay much attention to the proverb“Haste makes waste”,because patience is not important to them.But if you know about past values,it helps you to understand the present and many of the older values are still strong today.Benjamin Franklin,a famous American diplomat,writer and scientist,died in1790,but his proverb“Time is money”is taken more seriously by Americans of today than ever before.A study of proverbs from around the world shows that some values are shared by many cultures.In many cases though,the same idea is expressed differently.Questions33-35are based on the passage you have just heard.33.Why are proverbs so important?34.According to the speaker what happens to some proverbs with the passage of time? 35What do we learn from the study of proverbs from around the world?Section CCompound DictationOur lives are woven together.As much as I enjoy my own company,I no longer imagine I can get through a single day much less all my life completely on my own.Even if I am on vacation in the mountains,I am eating food someone else has grown,living in a house someone else has built,wearing clothes someone else has sewn from cloth woven by others,using electricity someone else is distributing to my house.Evidence of interdependence is everywhere;we are on this journey together.As I was growing up,I remember being carefully taught that independence not interdependence was everything.“Make your own way”,”Stand on your own two feet”or my mother’s favorite remark when I was face-to-face with consequences of some action: Now that you’ve made your bed,lie on it.Total independence is a dominant thing in our culture.I imagine that what my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibilities for my actions and my choices.But the teaching was shaped by our cultural imagines.And instead,I grew up believing that I was supposed to be totally independent and consequently became very reluctant to ask for help.I would do almost anything not to be a burden,and not require any help from anybody2011年6月六级听力原文11M:I left20pages here to copy,here’s the receiptW:I’m sorry,sir,but we are a little behind,could you come back in a few minutes?Q:what does the woman mean?12W:I hope you are not to put out with me for the delay,I had to stop for the Fred’s home to pick up a book on my way hereM:well,that’s not a big deal,but you might at least phone if you know you will keep someone waitingQ:what do we learn about the women?13W:Mark is the best candidate for chairman of the student’s union,isn’t he?M:well,that guy won’t be able to win the election unless he got the majority vote from women students,and I am not sure about it?Q:what does the man mean?14M:sorry to have kept you waiting,Madam,I’ve located your luggage,it was left behind in Paris and won’t arrive until later this eveningW:oh,I can’t believe this,have it been to delivered to my hotel then,I guessQ:what happened to the woman’s luggage?15W：I don’t think we have enough information for our presentation.But we have to give it tomorrow.That doesn’t seem to be much we can do about it.M:Yeah,at this point,we’ll have to make do with what we’ve got.Q:what does the man suggest they do?16M:I’m taking this great course psychology of language.It’s really interesting.Since you’re psychology major,you should sign up for it.W:Actually,I tried to do that.But they told me I have to take language studies first.Q:What do we learn from the conversation?17W:Can you believe the way Larry was talking to his roommate?No wonder they don’t get along.M:Well,maybe Larry was just reacting to something his roommate said.There are two sides to every story you know.Q:What does the man imply about Larry and his roommate?18M:We don’t have the resources to stop those people from buying us out.Unless a miracle happens,this may be the end of us.W:I still have hope we can get help from the bank.After all,we don’t need that much money.Q:What do we learn about the speakers from the conversation?Conversation OneQuestions19to22are based on the conversation you have just heard.W:You know I've often wondered why people laugh at the picture of a big belly businessman slipping on a banana skin and falling on his bottom.We are to feel sorry for them.M:Actually,Laura,I think we laugh because we are glad it didn't happen to us.But of course there is also a kind of humorous satisfaction in seeing somebody self-important making a fool of themselves.W:Yes,and there are a lot of jokes about people who are too fat or physically handicapped,you know,deaf,or short-sighted things like that.After all,it's not really funny to be like that.M:Oh,I think that's because we're embarrassed.We don't know how to cope with the situation.Perhaps we are even a bit frightened we may get like that,so we laugh.M:What about the custard pie routine?W:What do you mean'custard pie routine'?M:You know,all those old films where someone gets so outraged with his boss,He picks up a custard pie and plasters it all over the other person's face.W:That never makes me laugh much,because you can guess what's going to happen.But a lot of people still find it laughable.It must because of the sort of the thing we'd all love to do once in a while and never quiet have the courage to.M:I had an old aunt who used to throw cups of tea at people when she was particularly irritated.She said it relieved her feelings.W:It must have come a bit expensive.M:Not really.She took care never to throw her best china.19.Why does the man say we laughed when we see some self-important people。

学英语简单吗？肯定会有许多学生说：“难死了〞。

为什么有好多学生对英语的学习都感到头疼呢？答案只有一个：“不得法。

〞英语与汉语一样都是一种语言，为什么你说汉语会如此流利？那是因为你置身于一个汉语环境中，假设你在伦敦呆上半年，保准说起英语来会非常流利。

但很多中学生没有很好的英语环境，那么你可以自己设置一个英语环境，坚持“多说〞、“多听〞、“多读〞、“多写〞，那么你的英语成绩肯定会很出色。

一、多“说〞。

自己多创造时机与英语教师多讲英语，见了同学，尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候，谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典，遇到生词时查一下这些生词，也不用刻意去记，用的多了，这个单词自然而然就会记住。

千万别把学英语当成负担，始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。

或许你有时机碰上外国人，你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼，和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪，婚史等私人问题。

尽量用一些你学过的词汇，句子去和他谈天说地。

不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。

因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇，而且不太看重说法，你只要发音准确，准能顺利地交流下去。

只是你必需要有信心，敢于表达自己的思想。

假设没有适宜的伙伴也没关系，你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象，对它谈你一天的所见所闻，谈你的快乐，你的悲伤等等，长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的进步。

二、多“听〞寻找一切可以听英语的时机。

别人用英语交谈时，你应该大胆地去参与，多听听各种各样人的发音，男女老少，节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到，假设这样的时机少的话，你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听，这将会对你帮助很大，而你去听学过的课文的磁带，那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很大的帮助。

三、多“读〞。

“读〞可以分为两种。

一种是“默读〞。

每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你进步阅读速度有很大的好处，读的内容可以是你的课本，但最好是一些有趣的小读物，因为如今的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。

每道题的得分都与你的理解程度有很大关系，所以经过高中三年阅读的训练后，你必定会在高考中胜券在握。

另一种是“朗读〞这是学语言必不可少的一种学习途径。

四、多“写〞有的同学总是抱怨时间紧，根本没时间写作文。

其实“写〞的形式很多，不一定就写作文才进步写作才能。

比方写下你一天中发生的一些重要的事情，或当天学了某一个词组，你可以创设一个语境恰如其份地用上这个词。

这样即可帮你记住这个词的用法，又可以锻炼你的写作才能，比方学“wish〞一词时，可写一小段如下：The teacher often asks us what we want to be in the future.My good friend Tom wishes to be a soldier.However,I'm different .I wish I were a teacher in the future.But my mother wishes me to be a doctor.只几句话：但wish的几种用法已跃然纸上，这样写下来印象会深化得多，这样比死记硬背wish的用法也有趣轻松的多。

学习英语不用花大块的时间，10分钟的漫步可以练"说",吃完饭后可以读一会儿英语小说，睡前听几分钟英语，可以使你得到更好地休息……只要你每天抽出一些时间来练英语，你的英语成绩肯定会很快进步的。

背英语单词技巧1、循环记忆法艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线人的大脑是一个记忆的宝库，人脑经历过的事物，考虑过的问题，体验过的情感和情绪，练习过的动作，都可以成为人们记忆的内容。

例如英文的学习中单词、短语和句子，甚至文章的内容都是通过记忆完成的。

从"记"到"忆"是有个过程的，这其中包括了识记、保持、再认和回忆。

有很多人在学习英语的过程中，只注重了学习当时的记忆效果，孰不知，要想做好学习的记忆工作，是要下一番工夫的，单纯的注重当时的记忆效果，而无视了后期的保持和再认同样是达不到良好的效果的。

在信息的处理上，记忆是对输入信息的编码、贮存和提取的过程，从信息处理的角度上，英文的第一次学习和背诵只是一个输入编码的过程。

人的记忆的才能从生理上讲是非常惊人的，它可以存贮1015比特(byte，字节)的信息，可是每个人的记忆宝库被挖掘的只占10%，还有更多的记忆发挥空间。

这是因为，有些人只关注了记忆的当时效果，却无视了记忆中的更大的问题--即记忆的结实度问题，那就牵涉到心理学中常说的关于记忆遗忘的规律。

一、艾宾浩斯记忆规律曲线解释德国有一位著名的心理学家名叫艾宾浩斯(Hermann Ebbinghaus，1850-1909)，他在1885年发表了他的实验报告后，记忆研究就成了心理学中被研究最多的领域之一，而艾宾浩斯正是发现记忆遗忘规律的第一人。

根据我们所知道的，记忆的保持在时间上是不同的，有短时的记忆和长时的记忆两种。

而我们平时的记忆的过程是这样的：输入的信息在经过人的注意过程的学习后，便成为了人的短时的记忆，但是假设不经过及时的复习，这些记住过的东西就会遗忘，而经过了及时的复习，这些短时的记忆就会成为了人的一种长时的记忆，从而在大脑中保持着很长的时间。

那么，对于我们来讲，怎样才叫做遗忘呢，所谓遗忘就是我们对于曾经记忆过的东西不能再认起来，也不能回忆起来，或者是错误的再认和错误的回忆，这些都是遗忘。

艾宾浩斯在做这个实验的时候是拿自己作为测试对象的，他得出了一些关于记忆的结论。

他选用了一些根本没有意义的音节，也就是那些不能拼出单词来的众多字母的组合，比方asww，cfhhj，ijikmb，rfyjbc等等。

他经过对自己的测试，得到了一些数据。

然后，艾宾浩斯又根据了这些点描绘出了一条曲线，这就是非常有名的提醒遗忘规律的曲线：艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线，图中竖轴表示学习中记住的知识数量，横轴表示时间(天数)，曲线表示记忆量变化的规律。

这条曲线告诉人们在学习中的遗忘是有规律的，遗忘的进程不是平衡的，不是固定的一天丢掉几个，转天又丢几个的，而是在记忆的最初阶段遗忘的速度很快，后来就逐渐减慢了，到了相当长的时候后，几乎就不再遗忘了，这就是遗忘的开展规律，即"先快后慢"的原那么。

观察这条遗忘曲线，你会发现,学得的知识在一天后，如不抓紧复习,就只剩下原来的25%)。

随着时间的推移,遗忘的速度减慢，遗忘的数量也就减少。

有人做过一个实验，两组学生学习一段课文，甲组在学习后不久进展一次复习，乙组不予复习，一天后甲组保持98%，乙组保持56%；一周后甲组保持83%，乙组保持33%。

乙组的遗忘平均值比甲组高。

二、不同性质材料有不同的遗忘曲线而且，艾宾浩斯还在关于记忆的实验中发现，记住12个无意义音节，平均需要重复次；为了记住36个无意义章节，需重复54次；而记忆六首诗中的480个音节，平均只需要重复8次！这个实验告诉我们，但凡理解了的知识，就能记得迅速、全面而结实。

不然，愣是死记硬背，那也是费力不讨好的。

因此，比较容易记忆的是那些有意义的材料，而那些无意义的材料在记忆的时候比较费力气，在以后回忆起来的时候也很不轻松。

因此，艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线是关于遗忘的一种曲线，而且是对无意义的音节而言，对于与其他材料的比照，艾宾浩斯又得出了不同性质材料的不同遗忘曲线，不过他们大体上都是一致的。

因此，艾宾浩斯的实验向我们充分证实了一个道理，学习要勤于复习，而且记忆的理解效果越好，遗忘的也越慢。

三、不同的人有不同的艾宾浩斯记忆曲线--个性化的艾宾浩斯上述的艾宾浩斯记忆曲线是艾宾浩斯在实验室中经过了大量测试后，产生了不同的记忆数据，从而生成的一种曲线，是一个具有共性的群体规律。

此记忆曲线并不考虑承受试验个人的个性特点，而是寻求一种处于平衡点的记忆规律。

但是记忆规律可以详细到我们每个人，因为我们的生理特点、生活经历不同，可能导致我们有不同的记忆习惯、记忆方式、记忆特点。

规律对于自然人改造世界的行为，只能起一个催化的作用，假设与每个人的记忆特点相吻合，那么就如顺水扬帆，一日千里；假设与个人记忆特点相悖，记忆效果那么会大打折扣。

因此，我们要根据每个人的不同特点，寻找到属于自己的艾宾浩斯记忆曲线2?如何学英语下定决心，坚持不懈英语学习作为一门语言技能，通过大量的训练和练习任何人是可以掌握的。

一般地说，英语学习的原那么是听、说领先，读、写跟上。

李扬的疯狂英语提倡，首先建立起我能学好英语的信心，然后以句子为单位，大量地模拟，疯狂地操练，大声地朗读，最后到达自如地说英语，他的方法对进步说英语的才能很奏效。

钟道隆教授45岁开始学英语，一年后，学成出国当口语翻译，并创造了逆苦恼、逆急于求成、逆速成的逆向学习英语的方法。

他还提出学习英语要遵循听、写、说、背、想的方法，他的方法强调以听为主，并且把所听到的内容全部写下来。

尤其是他的学习精神最可佳，他学习英语用坏了十几台录音机，你可想象他听了多少英语；用完的圆珠笔芯几乎装满了一个一拉罐，你可想象他写了多少，在一年半内，累计业余学习英语时间大约三千小时，也就说每天抽出几个小时来学英语。

假设我们做到他那样，一定也能学好英语。

最重要的是坚持，只要能下定决心，坚持每天至少一个小时的学习英语，战胜自我最后肯定会有收获的。

注意方法，循序渐进决心下定，还注意学习方法，有时根据自己的情况和不同的学习目的，选择不同的学习方法，但是学习英语一定要踏踏实实地、一步一个脚印地走。

要把根底知识掌握好，也就是说，发音要正确、根本词汇要掌握牢、根本句式要纯熟、根本语法要会用。

〔1〕要过好语音关。

把每一个音标发正确，注意改正有问题的音素，特别是那些容易混淆的音素，尽早地掌握国际音标，并尽量的掌握一些读音规那么，尽快地能利用读音规那么来拼单词，掌握读音规那么对单词的记忆和拼写非常有用。

〔2〕掌握一定数量的英语单词。

对于学习者来说掌握英语词汇是一难关，学习单词要从单词的形、音、义这三方面去掌握，要注意单词的一词多义，一词多类的用法，要学会一些构词法的知识，来扩展词汇量。

学习单词要在语言材料中去学，要结合词组，通过句子，阅读文章来活记单词，死记的单词是记不牢的。

坚持在读、说前，先反复听，听的时候反响单词、句子的意思和节奏，想一下单词的拼法、句子构造。

并要同学习语法规那么有机结合起来进展。

〔3〕掌握好根本语法。

语法在学习英语中也很重要，它能帮助我们把握住英语的根本规律，通过例句或语言现象把死的语法规那么要记住，活的规那么要通过做大量的练习掌握。

总之学习英语要通过听、说、读、写、译来进展操练，不但要注意数量，更重要的是要注意质量，尤其是根本知识要掌握的准确，纯熟。

只有经过大量的理论，才能做到熟能生巧，运用自如。
