英语四级历年复合式听写听力原文2012年6月：Students have been complaining more and more about stolen property. Radios, cell phones, bicycles, pocket calculators and books have all been reported stolen. Are there enough campus police to do the job? There are 20 offices in the campus security divis ion. Their job is to handle crime, accidents, lost and found items, and traffic problems on campus. More than half of their time is spent directing traffic and writing parking tickets. Responding promptly to accidents and other emergencies is important, but it is their smallest job. Dealing with crime takes up the rest of their time. Very rarely did any violent crimes actually occur.In the last five years there have been no murders, seven robberies, and about sixty other violent attacks, most of these involving fights at parties. On the other hand, there have been hundreds of thefts and cases of deliberate damaging of public property, which usually involves breaking windows or lights, or writing on walls. The thefts are not the carefully planned burglaries that you see in movies. Things get stolen when it is just easy to steal them because they are left lying around unwatched. Do we really need more police？Hiring more campus police would cost money, possibly making our tuition go up again. A better way to solve this problem might be for all of us to be more careful with our things.2011年12月：Our 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 or my life completely on my own. Even if I am on vacation in the mountains, I’m 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 theme in our culture.I imagine that what my parents were trying to teach me was to takeresponsibility for my actions and my choices. But the teaching was shaped by our cultural images. 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 anybody。

W: Yes, I enjoy it much more that I thought I would. M: Really? I don’t think they are W: Yes, I don’t usually go to science fiction films.much better than comics on film, if you know what I mean. M : Yes, sure. And a few years ago, they were certainly like that. 9. But they’ve got a lot better now.W: Yes, and historical films, that’s what I really like. I never miss a good film set in middle ages. Oh, and love stories, I never miss one on TV. M: Fondly enough, I don’t like those kinds of films at all. But to come think it was very good. It certainly back to this one, I personally didn’t think it was very good. It certainly wasn’t as good as other science fiction films I’ve ever seen.W: Wasn’t it?M: No, not at all. Oh, 10. the effects were very good. W: Yes, I thought they were marvelous, especially the battle in space, incredible. M: Yes, but I was going to say I thought the acting was terrible. W: Yes. 11. I suppose Jason was too good to be true. And what was the name of the Baddy? M: Cargon? W: 11. Yea h. Cargon was really evil, wasn’t he? But I suppose that’s —good triumphing over evil. And the what these films are all aboutcharacters have to be black and white. M: Well , yes, but not always. Worth the well wasn’t like for example. Anyway, you enjoy the film. That’s the most important.W: Yes, I did. Thanks for taking me. Q: 9. What does the man say about the science fiction films? 10. What opinion did the speakers share about the film they just seen? 11. What to be learned about Jason and Cargon? Long Conversation 2 M: Can I ask you about your evening class? What class do you go to? W: Car maintenance. M: 12. What night of the week it on? W: Wednesday night. M: And how long does it last? em because M: Well, it supposed to start at 6, but that’s a bit of problpeople have difficulty getting through the traffic. So we start at 6: 30 and then it goes on until the 9 o’clock.M: And what was your reason for wanting to do the class? Well, I just bought my first car and I don’t know anything about W: 13. W ell, I just bought my first car and I don’t know anything about cars. So I thought it was a good opportunity to learn. I guess most of the people in the class are in the same situation. M: Um, and what do you actually do? Do you bring the car along to the class? W: Yes, we do. 14. And in the first part of the lesson, the first half hour, the man who runs the class will go though some particular part of the car, and we’ll learn about it. And then we spend the rest of the time, actually working on my own cars, the same problem. M: And how many people are there in the class? W: Mm, I think 16, 15. but 3 quarters of them are women. It’s quite interesting because the man is obviously used to teaching man. And he always starts his sentence by saying, ” Wow, your chops were slow.” And then he stops and says “Oh, any woman, you ladies, but...ur..” M: Mm..sounds funny. Q: 12. What does the woman say about her evening class? 13. Why did the woman want to attend to the class? 14. What do the people who attend the class do in the first part of the lesson? 15. What do we learn about participants in the class? Section B Passages Passage 1 19.19.We don’t choose friends on the basis of how much money they have, We don’t choose friends on the basis of how much money they have, of course, but lots of differences can be disturbing to both sides. Aaron, for example, was single, and earns a very good salary. 16. Her friend, Pat, the divorced mother of three, is struggling to make ends meet. 17.“We “We are are both frequent theater-goers,” Aaron explains, “ and I’ll gladly pay for two tickets, just to have pass company it plays in concerts , but she won’t go anywhere unless she can pay her own way. I hate to go alone, so we both stay home. It all seems so silly.” Pat sees the situation differently. After her unhappy marriage to a man who was trying to control her without considering her wishes and feelings, she says, “ it’s very important to me to carry my own weight. I’m not comfortable in any relationship where all I do is take. ”The difficult situation finally changed when Aaron moved recently. Pat’s children were with their father, so she took a picnic lunch to her friends new place, then spend the day helping her unpack and get settled. 18. “ I was so grateful, ”Aarons says, “ but I persuaded Pat to let me return the favor in my own way with season tickets to our little theater group. I think she’s beginning to recognize that she contributes as much to our friendship, but I do”16. What do we learn about Pat? 17. What draws Aaron and Pat together? 18. What does Aaron do to return Pat’s favor?19. What do we learn friendship from the passage? Passage 2 Sun School in the town of Ashburton, England, is a day school for children aged 10 to 18. 20. It is based on the value of social equality between students and staff, and has few rules. Sun School believes that the healthy growth of the child is more important than academic success. It offers a variety of lessons and activities for students to choose from and free time for children to follow their own interests. Classes are small, and based on the individual needs of each child. The timetable is fixed, but democratically decided and students are expected to attend. The weekly school meeting is at the center of the way sun school is organized. It makes all the decisions that affect the school, including rules, the timetable and accepting or rejecting new students and teachers. 21. Participating in these meetings gives children an understanding of democratic decision-making and helps them develop their skills of argument and persuasion. The most import advantage of the school meeting is that it shows the children that the school is really theirs. They ’s success or failure have the right to decide on changes. And the schooldepends on their decisions and their behavior. Sun School employs no cooking or cleaning staff, these jobs are done by students and teachers. Decorating and simple repairs are also done by students. 22.It is believed that school truly belongs to who use it, they must take responsibility for its maintenance. 20. What value is Sun School based on? 21.What is characteristic of the school decision-making process ? 22. Why does sun school ask the students to do the maintenance? Passage 3 23. Well, to continue, as I mentioned earlier, there is also research that demonstrates that individuals perform worse, not better on tasks when other people are there. R.W.Harburt did an interesting experiment. He had his subjects learn a finger maze. This is a game in which you indicate with your finger the way through a complex system of passages or paths. The subjects who had an audience did worse than the subjects who did alone. Now how can we explain these very different results? It seemed very confusing for a long time. Social psychologist, John Roberts, finally cleared up the confusion about why people sometimes perform better and sometimes worse in front of an audience. 24. Roberts found that the presence of an audience facilitates what you already know how to do. That is, if you know what you are doing, having an audience helps you do But if you don’t already know how to do something, you will it better. B ut if you don’t already know how to do something, you will probably make some mistakes and you will make mistakes for a longer time if you have an audience. That’s exactly what happened to the subjects who were learning the finger maze. So, if you were doing well, having an audience increases the chances that you will continue to do well. If you were doing badly, having an audience increases the chances that you will continue to do badly. 25. Roberts cleverly pointed out that when you are first learning something, you are better off working alone than practicing with other people. 23. What did the speaker probably discuss before coming to this part of the talk? 24. When does the presence of an audience facilitate your performance according to Roberts? 25. What does Roberts think as a better way to learn new things? Section C Compound Dictation Americans today have different eating habits than they had in the past. There is a wide selection of food available. They have a broader knowledge of nutrition, so they buy more fresh fruit and vegetables than ever before. At the same time, Americans purchase increasing quantities of sweets and sodas. Statistics show that the way people live determines the way they eat. American life-styles have changed. There are now growing numbers of people who live alone, single parents and children, and double-income families. These changing life styles are responsible for the incresing number of people who must rush meals or sometimes simply go without them. Many Americans have less time than ever before to spend preparing food. Partly as a consequence of this limited time, over half of all American homes now have microwave ovens. Moreover, Americans eat out nearly four times a week on average. It is easy to study the amounts and kinds of food that people consume. The United States Department of Agriculture and the food industry collect sales statistics and keep accurate records. This information not only tells us what people are eating but also tells us about the changes in attitudes and tastes. Red meat, which used to be the most popular choice for dinner, is no longer an American favorite. Instead, chicken, turkey, and fish have become more popular. Sales of these foods have greatly increased in recent years. 26. selection 27. vegetables 28. determines 29. growing numbers of 30. responsible 31. rush 32. spend preparing food 33. keep accurate records 34. attitudes 35. favorite 。

2012年12月英语四级真题听力复合式听写原文，考完试的同学可以对比一下自己的考试题目。
Time is, for the average American, of utmost importance. To the foreign visitor, Americans seem to be more concerned with getting things accomplished on time (according to a predetermined schedule) than they are with developing deep interpersonal relations. Schedules, for the American, are meant to be planned and then followed in the smallest detail.
It may seem to you that most Americans are completely controlled by the little machines they wear on their wrists, cutting their discussions off abruptly to make it to their next appointment on time.
Americans’ language is filled with references to time, giving a clear indication of how much it is valued. Time is something to be “on,” to be “kept,” “filled,” “saved,” “wasted,” “gained,” “planned,” “given,” “made the most of,” even “killed.”
The international visitor soon learns that it is considered very rude to be late -- even by 10 minutes -- for an appointment in America.
Time is so valued in America, because by considering time to be important one can clearly achieve more than if one “wastes” time and doesn’t keep busy. This philosophy has proven its worth. It has enabled Americans to be extremely productive, and productivity itself is highly valued in America. Many American proverbs stress the value of guarding time, using it wisely, and setting and working toward specific goals. Americans believe in spending their time and energy today so that the fruits of their labor may be enjoyed at a later time.
