现代大学英语听力3原文及答案
Unit 1 Task 1 【答案】 A. unusual, whatever, escape, traditions, present, grey, moulded, shape, here B. 1) Students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance. 2) When people went anywhere on a visit, the pretty English girls all kissed them. 3) Erasmus, Bacon, Milton, Cromwell, and Newton (or Wordsworth, Byron, Tennyson, etc.) 【原文】 My coming to Cambridge has been an unusual experience. From whatever country one comes as a student one cannot escape the influence of the Cambridge traditions---and they go back so far! Here, perhaps, more than anywhere else, I have felt at one and the same time the past, the present and even the future. It’s easy to see in the old grey stone buildings how the past moulded the present and how the present is giving shape to the future. So let me tell you a little of what this university town looks like and how it came to be here at all. The story of the University began, so far as I know, in 1209 when several hundred students and scholars arrived in the little town of Cambridge after having walked 60 miles from Oxford. Of course there were no colleges in those early days and student life was very different from what it is now. Students were of all ages and came from anywhere and everywhere. They were armed; some even banded together to rob the people of the countryside. Gradually the idea of the college developed, and in 1284, Peterhouse, the oldest college in Cambridge, was founded. Life in college was strict; students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance. Books were very scarce and all the lessons were in the Latin language which students were supposed to speak even among themselves. In 1440 King Henry VI founded King’s College, and the other colleges followed. Erasmus, the great Dutch scholar, was at one of these, Queens’ College, from 1511 to 1513, and though he wrote that the college beer was “weak and badly made”, he also mentioned a pleasant custom that unfor tunately seems to have ceased. “The English girls are extremely pretty,” Erasmus said, “soft, pleasant, gentle, and charming. When you go anywhere on a visit the girls all kiss you. They kiss you when you arrive. They kiss you when you go away and again when you return.” Many other great men studied at Cambridge, among them Bacon, Milton, Cromwell, Newton, Wordsworth, Byron and Tennyson. Task 2 【答案】 A. 1) a) 2) b) 3) a) 4) c) B. 1) They usually wear black gowns—long gowns that hang down to the feet are for graduates, and shorter ones for undergraduates. 2) Women students do not play a very active part in university life at Cambridge, but they work harder than men. C. 1) meadows, green, peaceful, bending into, intervals, deep coloured, reflection, contrasts, lawns 2) peace, scholarship, peace, suggest, stretches, charmingly cool, graceful 【原文】 Now let me give you some idea of what you would see if you were to talk around Cambridge. Let us imagine that I am seeing the sights for the first time. It is a quite market town and the shopping centre extends for quite a large area, but I notice more bookshops than one normally sees in country towns, and more tailors’ shops showing in their windows the black gowns that students must wear—long gowns that hang down to the feet for graduates and shorter

Price rises but inflation stays low. 1. Everybody in Britain is talking about falling prices though they know inflation is high. T F 2. Professor Brown found it easy to explain the difficult economic issue. T F 3. Chinese-made products have made Britain poorer. T F 4. In the past decade the CPI in Britain has increased only modestly. T F 5. The low inflation has resulted from higher prices for some goods and lower prices for mass-produced Chinese goods. T F Petrol, up. Eating out, up. School fees, up. Everyone in Britain seems to be talking about price rises, but why then is inflation still so low?
Professor Brown gave the seemingly difficult economic issue a simple answer: It is the low-priced "Made-in-China" products that help keep inflation under control. In his presentation at an economic forum, Brown reminded the price-sensitive Britons that Chinese-made commodities have not only helped bring down the inflation figures, but also made the already rich countries like Britain richer. Consider the following figures. Over the past 10 years, the total cost of living in Britain, as measured by the official consumer price index, has risen by just 14 percent. But that very modest average increase has included high inflation in some categories: school fees, for example, are up 62 percent, hairdressing up 58 percent, holidays up 52 percent, and eating out up 33 percent on average, with top London restaurant prices showing much faster growth. Why then has the total cost of living remained so stable? The answer to the question, the professor said, is not just interesting in its own right, but tells Britons a surprising amount about what is happening today not only in Britain but in the world economy as a whole. Because the prices of mass-produced goods have been plunging: clothes prices down by 42 percent in a decade, shoes by 31 percent and consumer electronics by 63 percent. Professor Brown said that this relates to China's entry into the global economy. By becoming the workshop of the world, China has pushed down the prices of all mass-produced goods.

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.
