《英语听力教程》Unit3答案
Unit 3 El Nino? La Nina?Part ID. warmer/ green house effect / sea levels/ climate zonesAs 1998 ends and people look forward to the last year of the century, the World Almanac spoke with experts about what comes next. Almanac editorial director says the experts believe the next century will bring lots of changes.Warm, of course, that our climate is going to continue getting warmer. That’s the subject, by the way, of another new article on the 1999 World Almanac. The greenhouse effect, exactly w hat causes it, and what steps to be taken to, perhaps to alleviate global warmings. I’ve seen recently that 1998 is going to go down as the warmest year ever on record. And so that’s going to be a major issue of the next century, and possible tremendous consequences of the global warmings, whether it is rising sea levels affecting the coastal areas; changes in climate zones affecting what crops can be grown, and in what regions. This is potentially a very significant trend to be watched.E. Cyclone: North or south of equator / Typhoon:/ Hurricane: Eastern PacificMajor ocean storms in the northern part of the world usually develop in late summer or autumn over waters near the equator. They are known by several different names. Scientists call these storms cyclones when they happen just north or south of the equator in the Indian Ocean. In the western Pacific Ocean or the China Sea, these storms are called typhoons. In the eastern Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, they are called hurricanes.Part IIA. Outline 1. A. weather pattern/ global climateB. 1. twice a decade 2. 12-18 monthsC. 1. warmer weather/ 2. wetter than usual/ drierD. the decline of winds II. 1. droughtsB. a cyclic weather pattern/ about twice a decade/ wetter/ drier/ cold water away from South America’s west/ to expand eastward toward the America’s / move eastward too/ the weather around the world/ droughts/ rains and flooding/ on the South American fishing industry/ to become depletive/ the strength of it/Satellite readings confirm that conditions are right for another El Nino, a cyclic weather pattern that affects the global climate.El Nino’s normally show up about twice a decade and it lasts about 12 to 18 months, bringing warmer weather to parts of the earth. Some regions become wetter than usual, others drier. The El Nino, which began in 1991 has lingered through this year. Although several years might have been expected to pass before the next one, an American-French satellite observing the oceans has found a sign that El Nino may come back quicker than expected.These kinds of things still happen. This is Brig Jacker, an oceanographer of the US Naval Research Laboratory in Mississippi.Every year is unpredictable. One year might be El Nino year, one year might not. Generally El Nino’s come in four year cycles. But there’s nothing to say that you can’t have two El Nino years in a row.El Nino’s begin with the decline of winds pulling cold water away from South America’s west coast to around the equator. This allows warm water in the western Pacific Ocean to expandeastward toward the America’s. At the same time, the clouds and rain over the warm water move eastward too. Radar aboard the American-French satellite detected the hint that such water movement began in early August and reached South America two months later. It saw a ripple called a “Calvin wave”moving slowly eastward. Such pulses sometimes give rise to El Nino conditions in the eastern equatorial Pacific.El Nino’s can change the weather around the world, but how much depends on its strength. A strong one in 1982 and 1983 has been linked to droughts in Australia and Indonesia, rains and flooding in South America, and unseasonably in 1991 has caused trouble. It has been associated with devastating floods in the US southeast last year and in the US Midwest this year. El Nino’s are hard on the South American fishing industry. The warm waters prevent nutrients rich cold water from rising to the surface, causing fish stocks to become depletive. Mr. Jacker said a new El Nino apparently would be mild but he is not betting on it yet.The US Naval oceanographer says predictions are difficult because the strength of El Nino depends on how winds affect the Calvin wave that has moved across the Pacific.Part III Lick ObservatoryB. location: an hour’s drive/ summit/Origin of the name: a wealthy businessmanSize: one meter diameter/ secondTime: 1888Present function: research/ an educational toolC. way of observation: human eyes; in the cold/ TV screenGains and losses: Romance/ the sky/ efficiency/ reality/ universeQuestions:1.Because lick Observatory is near “Silicon V alley”, a region of the states high-technology.2.Because Lick Observatory was built on his estate and he was buried at the base of thetelescope at this won request.3.By using the 19th century telescope, you have a feeling of romance with direct viewing withthe human eyes. By sing the modern devices, you lose that romance but gain the efficiency.That’s an exchange.It’s about an hour’s drive from the outskirts of San Jose, California, near the upper side of the state’s high-technology region known as Silicon V alley. As a visitor drives up the narrow winding road past red flowers, and eucalyptus trees, one of the first two seismographic stations in the world, it’s almost a surprise to glimpse the largest dome of Lick Observatory’s eight telescopes. Overlooking the world of computer age manufacturing are telescopes from the turn of the century which help shape our understanding of the universe.The huge dome, housing Lick Observatory’s giant, one meter wide reflecting telescope, is one of the few instruments in motion this morning on Mount Hamilton. At the 1260-meter summit of Mount Hamilton is a small village of 55 permanent residents, some of them students in a one-room school house. But most at the research complex are visiting astronomers catching their first hours of sleep in an old dormitory after a night’s work at the telescopes. Reminton Stone, director of operations at Lick Observatory has worked at the top of Mount Hamilton for three decades. Now a part of the University of California, Lick Observatory got its name from a welthy businessman who never studied astronomy as MR. Stone explains: “And he came to SanFrancisco, just before the gold rush and he made a huge amount of money on real estate. When he died, he specified that some portion of his estate should be used to build the largest and most powerful telescope yet made and which was a 36 inch at that time. And at his own request he is buried at the base of the telescope. So this s a memorial to himself.”The telescope with its ode-meter-diameter reflecting lens was the largest telescope in the world for seven years following its completion in 1888. and today, its’ still the second largest telescope of its kind. Although the one meter reflecting telescope is still used for some research, its hard to adapt today’s electronic instruments to the old historic telescope. Now, it is used mostly as an educational tool for teachers and the thousands of visitors who come each year. While the other telescopes at Lick Observatory are connected to electronic imagine devices that allow the astronomers to view celestial objects on television screens, the 19th century telescope allows direct viewing with the human eye. It’s one of the few giant telescopes in the world tht still requires some users to sit out in the cold under the dark sky and the dome. That brings a feeling of nostalgia to Reminton Stone.I really do miss being able to see the sky, and seeing these wonderful data appear in the computer screen is really nice, but it’s very divorced from the reality, from the universe. I miss a lot being in a dark place in these fields to look up to see the stars. We go out every now and then if we are working at…, we’re at the control room, we do go out to keep track of the skies, where the clouds are, and so forth, but one loses the romance and one gains greatly the efficiency. It’s a trade-off. Astronomer Reminton Stone, who manages the Lick Observatory complex at the top of mount Hamilton, California.Part IV. The national climatic Data Center.A.OutlineI.

Another publication has monthly reports from 1500 observation stationsaround the world.5.The center had more than 900,000 requests from government officials, business owners,weather researchers and the general public last year.More and more people need to know about the weather. Anyone wanting information about past weather conditions can turn to a center supported by the United States government.The National Climatic Data Center reportedly has the world’s largest active collection of weather information. The National Climatic Data Center or NCDC was formed in 1951. it was established as a record center for America’s Department of Commerce. Its headquarters is in the southern city of Asheville, North Carolina.The NCDC collects weather records gathered by a number of weather observers and theUntied States government agencies. The Department of Defense, the National Weather Service and the coastguard are among those providing weather information. The center also collects weather records from around the world. Some information held by the NCDC is only a few hours old. Other records are a lot older. For example, the office has written weather observations made by early American diplomat Benjamin Franklin and by the third President of the United States Thomas Jefferson.Today modern scientific equipment including satellites, radar and solar radiation systems help people learn about the weather. Information collected by airplanes and ships also is used. The NCDC organizes this information and helps prepare it for publication and other uses. The center assists in the production of written records, weather maps and pictures. The information also is shared by computer, microfilm and telephone. The NCDC produces several publications about earth environment. One has monthly and yearly records about weather conditions in about 270 American cities. Another publication has monthly reports from 1500 observation stations around the world. It also has information from about 800 upper air stations which measure weather conditions at all levels of the atmosphere. The National Climatic Data Center receives requests for information from all over the world. Last year the center reportedly had more than 900,000 requests from government officials, business owners, weather researchers and the general public.Part V Do you know…?Meaning: little girlTime: the western coast of South America / The Pacific coast of Peru and EcuadorTime: winter monthsDuration: one to two years.Evidence: the eastern Pacific oceanImpacts: those of EL Nino/ drier than normal and others wetter.Scientists say the weather event known as El Nino is ending. Scientific instruments have shown that the Pacific Ocean waters warmed by El Nino are becoming cooler. Many weather experts are expecting the change in ocean temperatures to lead to conditions known as La Nina. El Nino means the little boy in the Spanish language, La Nina means the little girl.La Nina develops when winds near the western coast of South America strengthen. This causes cold air to form near the Pacific coast of Peru and Ecuador. Unusually low water temperatures in the eastern Pacific Ocean are evidence of La Nina. Ocean surface temperatures there drop almost 4 degrees. La Nina is strongest during winter months in the northern part of the world. It usually lasts one to two years. La Nina’s effects can be just as severe as those of EL Nino.Recently weather experts met in Colorado to exchange their findings about La Nina. The National Center for Atmospheric Research organized the conference. The experts agreed that the colder Pacific Ocean waters might influence weather conditions around the world. La Nina could make some places drier than normal and others wetter. Some reports presented at the conference said Southeast Asia is likely to receive a lot of rain during the present la Nina, so could South America, Central America and Africa. The northwestern part of Canada and the United States could be wetter than normal. The studies found that the southern untied States could be warmer and drier and more severe storms are possible in the western Atlantic Ocean.。

全新版大学英语听说教程第二版3听力原文与答案Unit1_12全新版大学英语第二版听说教程第三册听力原文及答案Unit 1Text 1Dating with My Mother (Part One)After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman.It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.' The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie.'What's wrong?' she asked.'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.''I would like that a lot,' she said.When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were allimpressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said.Exercise 1: 1. c 2. a 3.bQuestions:1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy?2. What do you know about the speaker's mother?3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy?Exercise 2:1. She suggested that her husband spend more time with his mother. She said to her husband, "Life is too short, but you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together , it will make us closer."2. 1) ...she was waiting by the door with her coat on and she had her hair curled.2) She had told her lady friends about this.Text 2Dating with My Mother (Part Two)We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us.'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said.'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said.We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie.'I'll go out with you again,' my mother said as I dropped her off, 'but only if you let me buy dinner next time.'I agreed.'How was your date?' my wife asked when I got home thatevening. 'Nice...nicer than I thought it would be,' I said.Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month. Sometimes we take in a movie, but mostly we talk. I tell her about my trails at work and brag about the kids and Peggy. Mom fills me in on family gossip and tells me about her past. Now I know what it was like for her to work in a factory during the Second World War. I know how she met my father there, and know how they went through the difficult times. I can't get enough of these stories. They are important to me, a part of my history. We also talk about the future. Because of health problems, my mother worries about the days ahead.Spending time with my mom has taught me the importance of slowing down. Peggy was right. Dating another woman has helped my marriage. Exercise 1: 1. c 2. d 3. dQuestions:1. What does the story mainly tell us?2. Which of the following is true?3. What can you learn from the story?Ex. 2 1. took// out to dinner// neighborhood2. nicer than he expected.3. A couple of times.4. the importance of slowing down//his marriageUnit 2Text1What a Coincidence! (Part One)Andrew had always wanted to be a doctor. But the tuition for a medical school in 1984 was 15,000 dollars a year, which was more than his family could afford. To help him realize his dream, his father, Mr. Stewart, a real estate agent, began searching the house-for-sale ads in newspapers in order to find extra business.One advertisement that he noted down was for the sale of a house in a nearby town. Mr. Stewart called the owner, trying to persuade him to let him be his agent. Somehow he succeeded andthe owner promised that he would come to him if he failed to get a good deal with his present agent. Then they made an appointment to meet and discuss the thing.As good things are never easy to acquire, the time for the appointment had to be changed almost ten times. On the day when they were supposed to meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Stewart received another call from the owner. His heart sank as he feared there would be another change of time. And so it was. The owner told him that he couldn't make it at three but if he would come right then, they could talk it over. Mr. Stewart was overjoyed. Leaving everything aside, he immediately set out to drive to the house.As he approached the area, he had a strange feeling of having been there before. The streets, the trees, the neighborhood, all looked familiar to him. And when he finally reached the house, something clicked in his mind. It used to be the house of his father-in-law! The old man had died fifteen years ago but when he was alive, he had often visited him with his wife and children. He remembered that, like his son Andrew, his father-in-law had also wanted to study medicine and, failing to do so, had always hoped that one of his two daughters or his grandchildren could someday become a doctor.Exercise 1:1. b 2. a 3. d 4. cQuestions:1. Who are the two main characters in the story you have just heard?2. How did Mr. Stewart get to know the owner of the house?3. What problem did Mr. Stewart have?4. What is the coincidence in the story you have just heard?Exercise 2:1984 / son / medical school / tuition / afford it / realize / newspaper ads / extra business / advertisement / succeeded / agent / changed / phone call / put aside / doing / immediately / familiar / father-in-law's / visited / his father-in-law alive / coincidenceText2What a Coincidence! (Part Two)When he entered the house, Mr. Stewart was even more amazed to find that the house was decorated exactly as he had remembered it. He told the owner about this and the latter became intrigued too. However, they were in for even greater surprises. It so happened that in the middle of their discussion, a postman came to deliver a letter. And the letter was addressed to Mr. Stewart's father-in-law! Were it not for Mr. Stewart's presence there and then, the letter would be returned as no person of that name lived in the house any longer. As the postman demanded a signature on the receipt slip, Mr. Stewart signed for his long-deceased father-in-law. Mystified, the owner urged Mr. Stewart to open the letter and see what it contained. The letter was from a bank. When he opened it,two words immediately met his eye -- 'For education'. It was a bank statement of an amount his father-in-law had put in years ago for his grandchildren's education needs. With the interest it had earned over the years, the standing value of the amount came to a little over $15,000, just enough money to cover the tuition of Andrew's first year at a medical college!Another thing that is worth mentioning is about the postman. The original postman, who had worked in this neighborhood, called in sick that day. So the postman, who was new to the area, came to deliver mail in his place. Had it been the old postman, the letter would undoubtedly be returned to the sender as he knew full well that no person bearing that name lived in that house any longer.The miracle was a blessing for Andrew. With the money given to him by his grandfather he was able to study medicine. Now he is a doctor in Illinois.Exercise1：1.The house was decorated exactly the same as Mr. Stewart rememberedit2.Mr. Stewart happened to be in the house when a postman came to delivera letter to his father-in-law who had died 15 years ago.3.The old postman had called in sick that day, and the postman who camein his place was not familiar with the neighborhood. Other wise the letter would have been returned to its sender.Exercise 2:1. He was intrigued.2. A bank statement.3. his father-in-law had put an amount of money in the bank for his grandchildren's education.4. A little over $15,000.5. He could use the money to cover the tuition of his first year at a medical college.6. He is a doctor in Illinois.Text 1Krimali (Part One)On the morning of the devastating earthquake that struck India in 2001, Krimali, a girl of 17, had just left home to go to an interview for a position of a sales clerk. She was pleased with her green and yellow flowered dress, but felt something wasn't quite right about her hair. She returned home, removing her shoes and leaving them at the door.Moments later, the earthquake struck. Ceilings and walls in the building shook in the deafening noise. Then everything began crashing down.Krimali and her immediate family escaped serious injury but wereunable to make their way out. The ceiling of an entire room towered above the only possible escape route. Completely detached on three sides, the huge slab clung to an outside wall on its fourth side. To an observer, it could drop at any moment.People were screaming and didn't know what to do. Krimali decided to act. Carefully she climbed barefoot up and down the debris until she reached a point just beneath the swaying ceiling. About four meters below were uneven pieces of concrete, broken glass and smashed furniture, all mixed with sharp spikes of iron. She knew if she could manage to get down to the ground level, she could make her way to safety. She paused to figure out the best way down. As there wasn't any good place to jump, she just jumped. Luckily, she landed in a crouch, her feet missing any sharp edges. Emboldened by her good fortune, Krimali knew it was up to her to persuade others to follow.Exercise 1: Ex 1 1-2 c c Ex 2 1-8 T F F F F T T FKrimali ( Part Two)Krimali planned to rescue her family first, but just then she heard a woman from two storeys above screaming for someone to save her two-month-old baby."Throw the baby to me," Krimali shouted. "I can catch her!"The woman refused. Krimali told the woman to wrap the baby in bed sheets and then toss her down. Crying uncontrollably, the mother wrapped the little girl but still would not part with her baby. As the mother tried to decide what to do, Krimali intently watched the concrete ceiling hanging above her. Finally the mother tossed the baby. Krimali made a clean catch. A bright smile lit up the woman's face. "I'll be back!" Krimali called out, hugging the child to her as she hurriedly picked her way out to where survivors had gathered.She gave up the baby, then asked if any of the men there would come back with her to help others trapped in the building. No one came forward, for they were all afraid of that swaying ceiling. But for Krimali, a small girl of 154 centimeters in height and weighing about 50 kilos, her fears had been lifted by what she had accomplished.On her way back into the ruins, she saw part of a large door. It was extremely heavy but she managed to drag it to the spot just below the hanging ceiling. By placing it on the ruins, she created something like a sliding board. With Krimali coaching her, the baby's mother partly jumped and partly rolled down the board to the ground level. Krimali led her through the debris to her baby.In the hours that followed Krimali made countless rescue missions into the building, each time in the shadow of the hugeceiling. Thanks to her courage, about two dozen men, women and children were saved. Exercise 1:Questions :1-2 d bExercise 2:1. Because she was afraid Krimali might not be able to catch her.2. Because she thought the bed sheets could somehow protect the baby from being hurt if she failed to catch her.3. Because they were afraid of the swaying ceiling.4. To make it easier and safer for people to get down.5. About two dozen were saved.Unit 4Text 1A Marriage Agreement (Part One)(Tom and Linda have signed a marriage agreement. Both agree not to break the rules outlined in the agreement. John, a reporter, is talking to them about the agreement.)John: Tom, Linda, first I'd like to ask you why you decided to write this unusual agreement.Tom: We found that many problems are caused when a person has different expectations from his or her spouse. We wanted to talk about everything openly and honestly before we started living together.Linda: Also we both know how important it is to respect each other's pet peeves. Like, I can get very annoyed if others leave stuff -- clothing, papers, everything! -- lying around on the floor. It really bugged me, so we put that in the agreement.John: This is mentioned in Article 1: Cleaning Up, isn't it? It says, "Nothing will be left on the floor overnight. Everything mustbe cleaned up and put away before going to bed."Tom: Then I'll know clearly what Linda's expectations are.John: I see. What about Article 2: Sleeping? It says, "We will go to bed at 11 p.m. and get up at 6:30 a.m. except on weekends." I'm sure some people hearing this will think that this agreement isn't very romantic. Tom: Well, we disagree. We think it's very romantic. This agreement shows that we sat down and talked, and really tried to understand the other person. A lot of problems occur in a marriage when people don't talk about what they want.Linda: That's right. When we disagreed about something, we worked out a solution that was good for both of us. I would much rather have Tom really listen to me and understand my needs than give me a bunch of flowers or a box of candy.Exercise 1: 1. b 2. c 3.aQuestions:1. Which statement best summarizes the marriage agreement between Tom and Linda?2. According to Tom, what will give rise to problems in a marriage?。

Within its borders are five of the world’s highest peaks.Switzerland is a small, landlocked country, 15,944 square miles in area. It’s bordered by France, Austria, and Italy.more than 20,000,000 people live in Argentine. About 97 percent are of European stock. Most argentines live on the eastern plains. Fewer than 19% live in the dry western and northwestern provinces.Austria is 32,376 square miles in area. This makes it twice the size of neighboring Switzerland. There are about 7,150,000 people living in Austria. More than one third of the people live in or near Vienna, the capital city.Colombia is the only country in South America with a coastline on the both sides of the continent. It is a big country with an area of 439,828 square miles and about 16,300,000persons live in Colombia.Saudi Arabia’s area is estimated to be about 830,000 square miles.

Yet it has only 26 million people, which is less than half the population of the United Kingdom. It extends from the Great Lakes in the south to the majestic Rocky Mountains in the west, and the bleak ArcticIslands in the far north. A third of the country is covered by forest and there are also vast grasslands and countless lakes and rivers.There are great variations in climate. Winters are extremely cold except in Vancouver which has a milder climate owing to its location on the west coast, so take a heavy overcoat and a fur hat. Canadian summers are warm on the whole, especially inland, so you’ll only need lighweight clothing.A quarter of all Canadians, mainly those living in the province of Quebec in the east, speak French as their first language. In addition, there are half a million American Indians, a million Germans and smaller numbers of Italians, Ukrainians and Inuit, Canada has two official languages: English and French, except in the province of Quebec where French alone is the official language. You’ll find English spoken virtually everywhere apart from Que bec and if you plan to visit Quebec City, you’ll definitely need a French phrasebook if you don’t speak French.Eating out is a pleasure in Canada and you’ll find restaurants, coffee shops and snack bars to suit every pocket. Menus offer a wide choice with excellent seafood like Pacific salmon, lobsters and clams, meat dishes including moose steaks and beefsteaks, and also a range of ethnic foods. For the sweet course, the specialty /speciality is waffles, a kind of thick pancake, served with maple syrup. Beer is good but foreign wines, even those from neighboring America, tend to be quite dear and local wines are not particularly good.Canada has some of the world’s most modern shopping centers. Clothes tend to be slightly expensive by European standards but there are some bargains to be had. Good buys include moccasins, a kind of soft leather shoe made by Indians, woolen gloves and sweaters, wood carvings, leather goods and maple syrup, of course.The unit of currency is the Canadian dollar. Banking hours are from 10 am to 3 pm Monday to Thursday and till later on Fridays.Have a good trip, and thank you for calling the information line.

T2F3F4. T5 F6. T7. FOh, David, hi! You know, I’ve been meaning to talk to you. I’m planning a trip to Australia, and I wonder if you could give me some advice.Sure! What do you want to know?Wel l, I thought I’d start my trip in Sydney. What should I see there?Well, the most important thing to see, of course, is the harbor, which is the most beautiful in the world.Oh, right. Do they have boat trips?Yeah, of course, they do. They have wonderful boat trips! The one that I recommend particularly is a trip around the harbor in an old sailing ship. Oh, that sounds like lots of fun!Yeah. And, of course, then there’s the Sydney Opera House, which everyone knows about. And, you can see wonderful things there…concerts and opera and theater.Oh, I definitely want to go there! Now what about places to stay? Can you recommend some place inexpensive?Yeah, let me see… Probably, of course, you know I don’t stay in these places, but probably the most inexpensive place would be a backpacker’s hotel. There are lots of those.Ok, thanks. That sounds good. Uh, where should I go after Sydney?After Sydney, lets’ see… I’d recommend that you travel up the coast to the Great Barrier Reef, which is in North Queensland.Right. I’ve heard a lot about it! But what is there to do there?Well, you can go scuba diving and see the coral reef and the tropical fish up close…You know I don’t like to get wet.Well, there are always these glass-bottom boats you c an travel on. They’re fabulous! Yeah,and there’re literally hundreds of islands you can explore.Wow! And are there places to stay?Yeah, sure. If you want to spend lots of money, you can stay at one of these fabulous resort hotels or, if you want o do it on the cheap, you can go to a guesthouse, which are much cheaper.Right. That sounds good. Well, what next?Next, well, I guess you should go inland to Ayers Rock In Uluru national Park. Ayers Rock? What is that? How do you spell it?It’s Ayers Rock. Its’ the largest rock in the world! You must know about it!No kidding! No, I’ve never heard of it! What do you do when you visit it?Well, it’s mainly hiking and trekking. You can walk right round the base of it if you like. It takes about fi ve and a half miles, I guess, but it’s really well worth it. And there are cave paintings in the rock, and the colors of the rock at sunrise and sunset are just fabulous.Sounds like I should bring my camera!You sure should! Finally, let’s see, I guess you should travel north to visit the KakaduNational Park.Kkadu? How do you spell that?It’s a tropical forest where you can go hiking and see all sorts of wildlife…Oh?Oh, and there are some beautiful waterfalls there as well.And do they allow camping there?Yeah, there are lots and lots of campsites. The only thing is that you’ve got to watch outfor the crocodiles!Ugh! Well, David, thanks a lot! You’ve been a big help!No problem.I can’t wait to go!Statements:When David was in Sy dney, he didn’t stay there for night.The Great Barrier Reef is in South Queensland in AustraliaFrom what Nancy says, one can know that she is fond of swimmingIn Uluru national Park, Nancy can see the largest rock in the world.If Nancy likes to walk around the base of the rock, she has to walk about five miles.Nancy will bring her camera with her when she travels in Australia.There are no crocodiles in the tropical forest in Australia.Part IV.

A. HistoryB. Natural HistoryC. North America/ 90,000E. city park systemF. a business area filled with old buildings, gas lights and vehicles pulled by horses Tapescript:Denver is the largest city and capital of the western state of Colorado. There’s a marker on the step in the StateCapitolBuilding. Standing there, you are exactly 1.6 kilometers above sea level, one mile high. Denver is known as “the-mile-high city”, but it does not appear to be that high. This is because it is built almost completely on smooth flat land. Denver is the largest city of the Rocky Mountains. Many people believe it is actually in the Rocky Mountains. However, it is about 50 kilometers east of them.The city of Denver has a population of about 470,000 people. This makes it the 26th largest city in the United States. The area around Denver has more than 1,600,000 people. Cityofficials are proud of the fact that Denver receives more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Storms moving east across the country lose much of their strength in the Rockies. So Denver gets only about 35 centimeters of rain and snow a year. The nearby mountains, however, get a lot more than that.Denver is the business and marketing center for all the RockyMountain area. It has more than 1500 manufacturing companies. Food processing is the main manufacturing activity. Other factories make equipment for the defense, space high technology and transportation industries. Gold production is also important. Denver is home to companies that control half the gold produced in the United States.The computer and communications industries have become increasingly important in recent years. Denver has the third highest number of high technology jobs in relation to the population. The area also has become a center for companies that do business in other countries. This is true throughout the western states. In fact, more jobs in the American west are linked to foreign trade in any other part of the country.Tourism is also an important industry in Denver. For example, the ColoradoHistoryMuseum shows the history of the native American Indians, gold miners and other people who moved to Colorado. The Denver Museum of Natural History shows Indian objects and examples of local wildlife. Many visitors to Colorado and Rocky Mountains use Denver’s new intern ational airport, which opened in 1995. it was the first major new airport built in the United States in 21 years. It cost almost 5,000 million dollars. It is the largest airport in North America, almost 90,000 passengers land at DenverInternationalAirport each day.There is a lot to see and do in Denver. The StateCapitolBuilding is in the center of the city. The top is covered with more than 500 g of gold. On a clear day, a visitor to the Capitol can see for a distance of almost 250 kilometers. 87 years ago, city officials began to purchase land to make sure it would be protected from development. Today, the city owns 8000 hectares. On this land, Denver has built the largest city park system in the nation. Finally, there’s Larama Square. It is a business area that is said to look like Denver of the early 1900s. Larama Square is filled with old buildings, gas lights and vehicles pulled by horses. It is a part of the new Denver that lives in the past.Part V. Do you Know…?ICELAND----- in the Atlantic/a small population / an island countryBrazil----- a newly-built capital /a pretty large country/famous for its jungles/a South American countryNew Zealand----- hotter than Britain/ a small population/ a mountainous country/a wet climate/divided into two islands.or pigs.。

If the statuettes don't meet strict quality control standards, they are immediately cut in half and melted down.5.The large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices via air express, with no identifiable markings.The Oscar statuette, designed by MGM's* chief art director Cedric Gibbons, depicts* a knight holding a crusader's* sword, standing on a reel of film with five spokes, signifying the original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians.Born in 1928, years would pass before the Academy Award of Merit was officially named "Oscar". Industry insiders and members of the press called the award "the Academy statuette", "the golden trophy" or "the statue of merit". The entertainment trade paper, Weekly Variety, even attempted to popularize "the iron man". The term never stuck.A popular story has been that an Academy librarian and eventual executive director, Margaret Herrick, thought the statuette resembled her uncle Oscar and said so, and that as a result the Academy staff began referring to it as Oscar.No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used the name in his column in reference to Katharine Hepburn's first Best Actress win. The Academy itself didn't use the nickname officially until 1939.Since its conception, the Oscar statuette has met exacting uniform standards - with a few notable exceptions. In the 1930s, juvenile players received miniature replicas* of the statuette; a ventriloquist* Edgar Bergen was presented with a wooden statuette with a moveable mouth; and Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Between 1942 and 1944, in support of the war effort, Oscars were made of plaster. After the War, winners turned in the temporary awards for golden Oscar statuettes.The traditional Oscar statuette, however, hasn't changed since the 1940s, when the base was made higher. In 1945, the base was changed from marble to metal and in 1949, Academy Award statuettes began to be numbered, starting with No. 501.Approximately 50 Oscars are made each year in Chicago by the manufacturer, R. S. Owens. If they don't meet strict quality control standards, the statuettes are immediately cut in half and melted down.Each award is individually packed into a Styrofoam* container slightlylarger than a shoebox.Eight of these are then packed into a larger cardboard box, and the large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices in Beverly Hills via air express, with no identifiable markings.On March 10, 2000, 55 Academy Awards mysteriously vanished en route from the Windy City* to the City of Angels. Nine days later, 52 of stolenstatuettes were discovered next to a Dumpster* in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles by Willie Fulgear, who was later invited by the Academy to attend the Oscar 2000 ceremonies as a special guest.For eight decades, the Oscars have survived war, weathered earthquakes, and even managed to escape unscathed* from common thieves. Since 1995, however, R. S. Owens has repaired more than 160 statuettes. "Maybe somebody used chemicals on them to polish them and the chemicals rubbed right through the lacquer* and into the gold," explains the company president. "Or maybe people stored them someplace where they corroded." Although he stresses that the statuette is made to endure, Siegel offers this sage advice to all Oscar winners: "If it gets dusty, simply wipe it with a soft dry cloth." Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionEvery January, the attention of the entertainment community and of film fans around the world turns to the upcoming Academy Awards, the highest honor in filmmaking.

The president says the Iraqi leader has a choice to make: disarm peacefully or be disarmed by force: "If Saddam Hussein does not comply to the detail of the resolution, we will lead a coalition to disarm him. It is over. We are through with negotiations. There is no more time. The man must disarm. He said he would disarm. He now must disarm." Mr. Bush spoke with reporters while touring the Washington D.C. police department, a tour designed to highlight his plan to create a cabinet level Department of Homeland Security.

The Security Council gave Iraq this last opportunity to disarm or face serious consequences, a euphemism* for possible war. The United States says it will make sure Iraq disarms, one way or another.But Mr. Blix* emphasizes that his inspectors will not determine the courseof events in the region. He says they will visit suspected sites, conduct interviews with Iraqi scientists, ferret* out information and report back to the Security Council for its members to decide.As for US and British intelligence reports, which the Bush administration says proves that Iraq has banned weapons, Mr. Blix says he is not going into Iraq with pre-conceived ideas of what is there.The next test for Iraq will be December 8th, the deadline for Iraq to present a full accounting of its weapons programs.

An American professor, Charles Zastrow, offers an interesting answer, particularly to the second question. He argues that there are many kinds of love and that particularly in one kind, which he calls "romantic love", we are strongly influenced not so much by what we actually feel but by what we tell ourselves about the way we feel. He calls this "self-talk" .For example, say a woman is strongly attracted to a man. (It could just as easily happen to a man attracted to a woman.) She tells herself things like "He is all I have ever wanted in a man! He is warm, kind and affectionate and will understand all my needs." But when she discovers that he is, like all of us, just an ordinary human being with both strong and weak points, she is bitterly disappointed.He points out that this kind of love often begins to fade and die as soon as the problems and obstacles which separate the two people are removed and a normal relationship begins.He contrasts romantic love with what he calls "rational love". This is based on such things as: an accurate, objective idea of the other person's strengths as well as their weaknesses, the ability to communicate with each other openly andhonestly, so that you can deal with problems as they arise, the ability to show affection openly to each other and to give as well as receive, a clear knowledge of your own goals in life, realistic and rational "self-talk", so that your feelings are not based on fantasy.This kind of love is far more likely to lead to a lasting, satisfying relationship. But it is much more difficult to achieve, and is not as frequent as romantic love.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide.1.T his passage is about two kinds of love - romantic love and rational love.2.The key words are "romantic love", influenced, "self-talk", fade and die,problems and obstacles, removed, normal relationship: "rational love",accurate, objective, strengths, weaknesses, communicate, show affectionopenly, a clear knowledge, goals in life, realistic and rational, lasting,satisfying relationship, difficult. achieve.Section Two Listening CompressionPart 1 DialogueThe TeacherInterviewer: I recently read an article which said that in primary schools in particular chances of promotion of women teachers are lessthan men, that men generally get promoted far quicker thanwomen in primary education. Is this something you've noticedor is this something you feel?Mary: No, this is something that is so. And we come back full circle really because it's not just teaching. I mean it's everything that men are getting promotion more quickly than women. In the primary sector there are far more women teachers than men but there are more headmasters thanheadmistresses.Interviewer: So where does that leave someone like you? I mean what, what are the possibilities of your promotion in primaryeducation? At the moment you're in charge of a section of theschool,Mary: Yes, I'm ... I'm in charge of the infant department which goes from the children who are three to the children who are seven. And they transferwhen they are seven to higher up the school which is called the juniordepartment. So I'm in charge of the Lower School if you like. Interviewer: And do you have ambition in that sense? I mean would you like to be a headmistress?Mary: No, I would not. I would not like to be a headmistress at all. I mean this is the next stage of my career were I ambitious urn ... but Ibasically enjoy being a classroom teacher. Now perhaps thisgives a clue to why there are not more women heads. I don'tknow I mean in the past it may have been that, and it may stillbe, that because boys are brought up to be more ambitious,that they're the ones who are going for promotion and quickpromotion, I mean, rapid promotion so that they are heads bythe time they're thirty and they start out in their careerthinking that whereas I enjoy being a class teacher and urn (I)was a deputy head before I got this post but I prefer to be inthe classroom with the children than sitting at a desk doingadministration which is what being a head means if you're ahead of a largish* school.Interviewer: Are you pleased that you chose primary teaching as a career and, and if someone came up to you at school-leaving age andwas wondering about what they were going to do would youadvise them to follow in your footsteps?Mary: I'm very pleased that I did - well I'm pleased most of the time. Monday mornings I'm not pleased; some mornings during the week and the end of the holidays I'm not pleased I'm a primary teacher at all but I mean basically I am, 'cos I left teaching once and then went back into it. So I think that shows that I am committed to be a primary teacher.ExerciseDirections: Listen to the dialogue and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).l. F 2.

To sing with achoir or to hear a choir singing can be deeply moving. George Eliot* said that she thought voices go deeper into us than other things. Thomas Hardy* in his poem The Voice describes the depth of feeling experienced in recalling the voice of his late wife.When all is well our voices cry out at birth, and develop without effort. Parents respond to happy sounds and interpret the cries. Early attempts at language are praised and encouraged, then, on growing up, voice and talking take a practical place as we learn from, and respond to, those around us. / Talking is central to our existence, with telephone, radio, television, video conferences, videophones and computers to process and print what the owners say, but as human beings we talk with friends and family and at work. Voice becomes our unique sound. As the most portable and one of the most subtle instruments it is rarely fully exercised or explored, and loss of voice can be seen by other people as merely irritating.An infant teacher was the first of several teachers in the 1990s to appeal to a Social Security Tribunal about loss of work (the last 10 years of teaching in primary school) caused by loss of voice at work. She told me how it affected her. Shopkeepers asked her husband what she needed rather than try to make out what she said. At social gatherings it was impossible for her to talk over the hubbub* of voices. Severe restrictions like this diminish a person, and their social identity.The onset of voice problems can be gradual or sudden. Teachers have beenknown to open their mouths to talk and find no sound came. Many voice difficulties arise from unknowing misuse of the vocal mechanism. It is easy to take our voices for granted. Many teachers and professionals such as lawyers, managers, marketing and salesmen; preachers and call centre agents who depend on their voices for work, rarely consider their voices until they lose them.There are many factors that affect our voices, such as home environment and culture, physical build and well-being, thought and emotion, social stance, experience and occupation.Actors in training explore all aspects of a character they play, especially those affecting body and voice. Teaching is also a form of performance to be explored and researched. What kind of teacher are you? What kind of teaching will the pupils respond to? The inadequacy of a young teacher, who is timid and self-conscious, is immediately recognized by the class, while the stress and demands of challenging pupils can stimulate a teacher to negative reactions of anger and shouting. Using a strong "teacher voice", raising the pitch or voice to top noise, or to deepen it unnaturally to demonstrate authority can become a habit.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionWhat do you know about the human voice?Voice, or phonation, is the sound produced by the expiration of air throughvibrating vocal cords. Voice is defined in terms of pitch, quality, and intensity, or loudness.In the frequency domain we can define voice as a series of harmonically related sine waves, starting with a fundamental frequency of about 100 hz for males and about 200 hz for females and extending throughout the 3,000 hz or so frequency range.Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listening to some sentences and write them down.

Study co-author John Sandberg says children in two-parent households spent, on average, four to six more hours per week with their parents in 1997 than youngsters did two decades ago. The increase occurred across the board in both dual income and single income households.He says the study differentiated between "engaged time", in which parents and child actively do something together, and time when they are physically together, but not interacting:"Children with stay-at-home moms spend more time with their moms than children with working mothers.

I've got a roster of programs that I watch, and that's my day and night."NK: Ms King has advanced multiple sclerosis*, which has paralyzed much of her body. A heart attack and cancer treatments have left her too weak to remain at her home and she's been in a nursing home since November.

At her last nursing home, for instance, she wrote personal histories of some of her fellow residents."People in that home had such interesting backgrounds, just like the people here have all got something to be memorized, so I asked each one if they would mind if I'd write their history up ... One was a navy man who'd been all over the world. Another was a mountain man that had cut wood and it's just almost unbelievable. It's so interesting."NK: Ms Helm would probably like to meet eight-nine-year-old Chet Eaton another one of those people who seizes the day.NK: Industry experts say there will be big changes in long-term care over thenext twenty years.More people will opt for home-based care or assisted living facilities so traditional nursing homes will be filled with much sicker and older patients.Long-term care facilities will also better address the psycho-social needs of residents so that feelings of loneliness and boredom will, finally be addressed.

Couples and families can learn to improve understanding and teamwork between spouses, to guide their children to reach their fullest potential, and survive the challenges of family life.Qualified educators are central to the success of family life education, as it is these individuals who bear major responsibility for shaping the educational experience and interacting with participants. Despite their importance, however, few guidelines are available to help prepare family educators. In 1985, the National Council on Family Relations established a certificate program to help improve the training and qualifications of family life educators. Through thisprogram, recognition is given to individuals who hold a baccalaureate* or advanced degree in specified fields of study, have a minimum level of postsecondary education in the content areas of the Framework for Family Life Education, and have completed a specified level of related work experience. The Certificate in Family Life Education (CFLE) is a voluntary credential*, and has been granted to individuals in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico*, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Singapore. An important outcome of the CFLE program has been its influence on the content of the college/university programs that prepare family life educators.The Internet and the World Wide Web present new challenges for family life education.Information technologies make it possible to provide family-related information twenty-four hours a day, every day,. and may help facilitate the preparation of professionals through on-l1ne courses and chat rooms. Although it is likely that these technologies will enhance rather than replace more traditional family life education approaches, important issues that will require attention include the reliability and validity* of the information available and the effectiveness of this form of family education. As well, the emergence of such things as computer-mediated relationships (cyber-relationships) and sexualized Internet use requires rethinking the content and strategies of family life education.Family life education is an important means to help ameliorate family issuesand problems, but in many situations these programs by themselves may not be sufficient unless their development and implementation are supported by social and educational policies and political decisions. School boards and community interest groups may place restrictions on the content taught in schools, thereby failing to meet some important needs of this age group. Inadequate financial support often means that programs are available primarily to those who can afford to pay registration fees. Not necessarily to those who may want or need the programs the most.Underlying the practice of family life education is a basic belief in the importance of family living and a basic respect for persons that recognizes their ability to take charge of their own lives in satisfying ways. Through educational programs, family life education makes an important contribution toward strengthening families to fulfill their significant role as the basic unit of society.Exercise A Pre-listening QuestionFamily life education provides skills and knowledge to enrich individual and family life.
