Unit One New Campus, New LifeⅠ. Pre-listening ActivitiesChoice 1略Choice 2There are pros and cons of living on campus.Pros Cons1. Accessibility to the school 1. Little privacy2. Increased social life 2. Limited space3. Possible low GPA (grade pointaverage)■ScriptThere are pros and cons of living on campus.Pros1. Accessibility to the school. If you live on campus, you can easily walk to the classes, libraries, computer labs, cafeterias, etc. You don’t have to waste time and money on driving to school, finding a parking space, and so forth.2. Increased social life. Living on campus will allow you to meet more people and establish more friendships than living off campus. You will also usually be aware of any campus activities and how to be involved in them.Cons1. Little privacy. When living in a dorm, it can be very hard to find privacy. You have to share bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. You may never have quiet time in your dorm because there will always be something going on.2. Limited space. At most colleges, the dorm rooms are tiny. You have to limit what you bring to school, or your space will be too crowded.3. Possible low GPA (grade point average). Because dorm life is very social, your grades may be affected in a negative way. If you constantly choose hanging out with your dorm buddies over studying at the library, then your GPA will suffer.Ⅱ.

D3. B4. C5. A■ScriptListening for general comprehensionFreshmen 15 is a plague that haunts the mind of all newly high school graduates. You hear of this horror tale before even stepping foot on a college campus. So what exactly is the freshmen 15? Legend says that during your freshmen year of college, you end up gaining around fifteen pounds. Is this simply a story told to scare young freshmen, or a reality?The bad news is that a noticeable weight gain does occur among college students. However, the good news is it’s not as drastic as fifteen pounds. Food served in the dining halls is laden with fats while exercise in college has become a true burden. It is difficult to schedule a workout session among the already busy schedule filled with classes, clubs, homework, and organizations. Here at USC, the professors like to pack their students with work upon work, so students can truly “eat the fruits of the knowledge tree.”For an average student, it is considered a celebration if you could simply finish all your homework on time and sleep before 2 a.m. With that said, who cares about exercise?Listening for specific comprehension1. According to the passage, what does “15”refer to?2. How is the food like in the college’s dining halls?3. Which of the following is NOT included in the students’busy schedule according to the passage?4. How much work does the professors give to the students in USC?5. How does a student feel if he finishes homework and sleeps before 2 a.m.?Passage TwoListening for general comprehension1. taking notes2. Four suggestions are given in the passageListening for specific comprehension1. A2. C3. A4. B5. C■ScriptListening for general comprehensionIt’s necessary for a student to take notes when he attends a lecture. The notes can be readily used in the future when the student forgets or reviews something.When a student takes notes in a lecture he has to do four things.Firstly, he has to understand what’s said, as the speaker says it. He can’t stop the lecture in order to look up a new word or check an unfamiliar sentence pattern.The second thing the student has to do is to decide what’s important in the lecture. Many lecturers pause, and speak more slowly and loudly, when they’re making an important point.The third task that faces the student is that he has to write down the important points. The student should abbreviate, write down the important words, usually nouns, sometimes verbs or adjectives, and should write one point on each line. He ought, if possible, to choose a moment to write when the lecturer isn’t giving vitalinformation.Finally, the student’s notes must show the connections between the various points he’s noted. If he makes intelligent use of spacing and underlining, together with the use of conventional signs and the numbering of points, he’ll be able to understand the framework of the lecture more easily.Listening for specific comprehension1. Why is it necessary for a student to take notes?2. What can a student do during a lecture if there is something he can’t understand?3. What do many lectures do when they are making an important point?4. When is the right moment to write down the important points?5. What may not be helpful for a student to understand the framework of thelecture more easily according to the passage?Passage ThreeListening for general comprehension1. The passage is about how to cope with a new school year.2. There are three tips mentioned in the passage.Listening for specific comprehension1. D2. A3. C4. B5. C■ScriptListening for general comprehensionHow do you approach a new school year? Do you have feelings of happiness and excitement or feelings of dread? New teachers, classes, classmates and maybe even a new school can all cause students to worry. But there are some things you can do to avoid the back-to-school blues.Become familiarWill you go to a new school this year? Then during the summer, visit your new school. Find out exactly where it is and how long it takes to get there. This will help you avoid confusion on the day.Ask friends to introduce you to a student who goes to the school. You’ll feel better knowing some there.Keep it in balanceDecide how many activities you’ll participate in, and don’t do too much. Keeping schoolwork, home life and extra activities in balance will keep your stress level low.Here’s another tip to help you prepare for the first day of school. Start going to bed and getting up at your normal school time two weeks before school begins. Then your body and mind will become rested and prepared for the first day.Get involvedThe best way to make new friends is to join school clubs. Choose something you enjoy and you’ll meet people who share your interests.A+ for attitudeDuring those first scary days, having a positive attitude will help you survive.Concentrate on the exciting things you’ll learn and the fun you’ll have with your classmates. With rest, preparation and the right attitude, you’ll be off to a great school year!Listening for specific comprehension1. What may cause students to worry according to the passage?2. What do you need to find out when you visit your new school?3. Why do we need to keep schoolwork, home life and extra activities in balance?4. To prepare for your first school day, when should you start getting up at your normal school time?5.

It can mean a relaxing, 30-minute walk while listening to your favorite music.10. when was the last time you had some quality, quiet time alone?11. Finding a few moments of peace and quiet might be just what you need.■ScriptAt any given point in time, most college students are stressed about something. While having stress in your life is normal and often unavoidable, being stressed is something you can control. Follow the following tips to learn how to keep your stress in check and how to relax when it gets to be too much.Get Some Sleep. Being in college means your sleep schedule is, most likely, far from ideal. Getting more sleep can help your mind refocus, recharge, and rebalance. This can mean a quick nap, a night when you go to bed early, or a promise to yourself to stick with a regular sleep schedule.Get Some Exercise. You may think that if you don’t have the time to sleep and eat properly, you definitely don’t have the time to exercise. Fair enough, but if you’re feeling stressed, it may be that you need to squeeze it in somehow. Exercise doesn’t necessarily have to involve a 2-hour, exhausting workout at the campus gym. It can mean a relaxing, 30-minute walk while listening to your favorite music. Get Some Quiet Time. T ake one moment and think: when was the last time you had some quality, quiet time alone? Personal space for students in college rarely exists. You may share your room, your bathroom, your classrooms, your dining hall, the gym, the bookstore, the library, and anywhere else you go during an average day. Finding a few moments of peace and quiet might be just what you need. Stepping out from the crazy college environment for a few minutes can do wonders for reducing your stress.IV.

Pre-listening ActivitiesPart 1略Part 21. the first Sunday in the month of August2. the third Sunday in August3. the third week of May■ScriptHuman beings are social creatures and have always valued the importance of friends in their lives. The first Sunday of August was declared as a holiday in US in honor of friends by U.S. Congress in 1935. Since then, World Friendship Day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday in the month of August.This beautiful idea of celebrating Friendship Day was joyfully accepted by several other countries across the world. Celebrating Friendship Day in a traditional manner, people meet their friends and exchange cards and flowers to honor their friends.It may be noted that some associations celebrate Friendship Day in an entirely different time of the year and with different customs. For instance, Women’s Friendship Day is on the third Sunday in August.International Friendship Month is February.Old Friends, New Friends Week is the third week of May.However, what is remarkably same is the idea behind the celebration of the day.

Then rain began to speak: “You foolish colors, don’t you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me.”Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands.The rain continued: “From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace.

In 2000, around a quarter of unmarried people between the ages of 16 and 59 were cohabiting in Great Britain. Cohabiting couples are also starting families without first being married. Before 1960 this was very unusual, but in 2001 around 23 percent of births in the UK were to cohabiting couples.Furthermore, British people are generally getting married at a later age now and many women do not want to have children immediately. They prefer to concentrate on their jobs and put off having a baby until late thirties.Another phenomenon is that the number of single-parent families in Britain is increasing. This is mainly due to more marriages ending in divorce, but some women are also choosing to have children as single parents without being married.Ⅱ.

If you don’t pass your exam,you’ll have to go out and work.M: I don’t see that it makes much difference. If I have a job, I have to do boring work every day; but if I’m at school, I must listen to boring teachers every day. Q: Which does Tom prefer, work or studying at school?7. W: You still have a social science requirement to fulfill, Jim. You can take history,psychology, anthropology, or sociology.

Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences.Tim: Today someone said I was a pig. I got angry at first, but then I was told that he was talking about my Chinese Zodiac symbol. I was a pig because I was born in the year of the pig.Zhao Lin: Ha ha, we do have this tradition. I am one year younger than you, so I am a mouse. In China, every year is represented by an animal. There are a total of twelve animals so the zodiac follows a twelve-year cycle.Tim: Those animals are …Zhao Lin: They are the mouse, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.Tim: Interesting, but why these 12 animals instead of others?Zhao Lin: According to the legend, during a Chinese new year celebration, Buddha invited all the animals to his kingdom, but unfortunately, for reasons only known to the animals, a total of 12 turned up. The mouse came first, followed by the ox, the tiger, the rabbit and so on and finally the pig. Out of gratitude, Buddha decided to name the year after each of the animals in their order of arrival, and people born of that year would inherit the traits of that particular animal. Some Chinese consider this superstitious, but many truly believe that the signs reveal the hidden secrets of a person’s character. Some people are very careful about the zodiac when choosing their spouse.Tim: Really? If their zodiacs don’t match, will they break up?Zhao Lin: In fact, people all know that a zodiac match cannot be the deciding factor.But there are still many sayings like, sheep and rabbits are ideal partners for pigs, but monkeys and snakes are bad for pigs.III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.Jo Shoesmith from Maryland, says the hardest part of her divorce was figuring out what to do with Misha, Nike, Shay, Violet, Momma Kitty and Cotton—the three dogs and three cats she and her ex-husband had cared for during their married years.“The lead-up导致物to the break-up was very rough, especially for Nike, who became so nervous, she would tremble发抖and pace踱步,”Shoesmith told The Christian Science Monitor基督教科学箴言报.“We did not want to put them through any more unnecessary stress.”At the time of the couple’s separation, Shoesmith got sole custody子女单亲监护协议of the cats, with her ex前夫, Martin Stephens from West Virginia, paying “cat support”. The former couple has joint custody共同监护of the dogs. This means that Shoesmith and Stephens travel back and forth between their two homes every other week just to spend time with their pets.The couple separated in 1997, when pet custody监护抚养权was unusual. Today, however, many top law schools, including Harvard, Georgetown and Yale, offer animal law courses on pet custody. The Animal Legal Defense Fund has handled several divorce cases with pet owners, and two law firms in California have partners who specialize in专门研究pet custody.“Certainly there is a giggle factor,” says lawyer David Wolfson, “but this area of the law needed to change to reflect that people do form special bonds with their pets.”Questions:1. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?2. How often does the former couple travel between their homes to spend time with their pets?3. Which of the following is true about pet custody nowadays?4. What can we learn from the passage?Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the following passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words or sentences you hear.Lawmakers in Northwest China’s Shaanxi Province enacted a law on Saturday that is intended to improve protection of the Qinling Mountains, a habitat of endangered giant pandas.The law is aimed at preserving biodiversity,preventing soil erosion水土流失and promoting harmony between man and nature in the mountain range.It requires all future development projects in the Qinling Mountains to be assessed for their possible impact on the ecology and bans real estate projects and polluting industries in nature reserves, where the ecology is more vulnerable. The law also ban s mining采矿and resource exploration in nature reserves and forest parks. According to the law, local governments must ensure immediate demolition of existing projects that are potentially harmful to the ecology.The Qinling range is home to approximately 300 Qinling pandas, a sub-species of giant pandas on the verge of extinction, and many other rare animals稀有动物under state protection, such as golden monkey s, the red ibis and antelopes.Unit 2 GeographyPart I In-class ListeningI. Understanding Basic SkillsListening TaskDirections: In this section, you will hear some information about geography. Listen carefully and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).1. The atmosphere of the Earth is quite thin compared to the radius半径. A very fragile脆弱的layer of gases protects us from the vacuum真空，空间of space. We must be very careful in the way we treat the atmosphere.2. The focus of the earthquake is directly below the epicenter震中. The epicenter is the point directly above the focus on the surface. The focus焦点中心is the true origin of the earthquake.3. Much of our energy is received from the Sun. You will feel the days warm and the nights cool because you are either facing or not facing the Sun. Other energy comes from within the planet. We have a molten iron core融化的铁芯that creates a magnetic field磁场to protect the Earth. There is also molten rock熔岩just below the surface that releases energy into our atmosphere and heats the oceans.4. Climate and weather are very different ideas. Weather describes the current水流conditions. Your weather might be rainy, cloudy, or hot. Climate describes the region’s environment over long periods. While snow is not something you would expect in the climate, variations in weather happen all of the time.5. The biosphere is all about life. Physical geographers地理学者use the term biosphere to describe our living world. This is where all of the trees, bugs臭虫, and animals live in. It also reaches deep into the ground at a dark cave洞穴or to the bottom of the ocean at hydrothermal vents深海热泉.II. Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the following conversation and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.W: Dr. Smith, I’ve got a question here. Well, we talks about erosion侵蚀and the deposit 沉淀of sediment on the deep sea floor, but I’m confused. For that to happen, there would have to be some kind of force down there moving the mud 泥土or sand or whatever, right? But I thought there weren’t any waves orcurrents 水流that deep in the ocean.M: Tha t’s not exactly correct. It’s true that deep down on the ocean floor we won’t have the same kinds of currents we find in shallow er更浅的parts. But we do find what we call turbidity currents浊流. This wasn’t in the book but the term came up in class. Do you remember what it means?W: Umh, turbidity currents? Oh, yeah! Isn’t that when sediment沉淀物like sand or mud gets stirred up激起，搅拌and mixes with water? And then this mixture flows through the water around it, right?M: Good!W: Uh, but I thought that only happened in rivers.M: Well. Yes. This does occur in rivers, but we see turbidity currents deep in the ocean as well.W: But how do they get started there?M: Earthquakes mostly. When an earthquake occurs under water, it throws up抛起tremendous巨大的amounts of mud or sand that becomes suspended悬浮in a layer of water near the bottom of the ocean. This layer is so much dense r and heavier than other ocean water that it flows right down the slopes斜坡of the ocean floor and gains more and more speed as it moves along. Then it’s just like the winds blowing across the desert沙漠picking up扬起from one place and moving it along and finally dropping it somewhere else.Questions:1. What is the main topic of the conversation?2. What does the professor ask the student to explain?3. According to the professor, how do earthquakes cause turbidity currents?4. Why does the professor mention desert winds?III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F).Advice on how much fertilizer to use will soon be just a phone call away for rice farmers in the Philippines. The Philippine Department of Agriculture and the International Rice Research Institute plan to launch a free service next month. Farmers will call a number and a recorded voice will ask them simple questions. For example, farmers will be asked about the size of their field and how many bags of rice it produced last year. About ten minutes later the farmer will get a text message文字信息. The message will advise what kind of fertilizer to use and how much. The grower will also get suggestions about when to plant and harvest收割the rice.Roland Buresh at the International Rice Research Institute says the service couldhelp farmers in the Philippines increase their yields产量and their profits收益. Danielle Nierenberg at the Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research group, says the system could also help reduce pollution.The technology could also be copied for crops in other places. Danielle Nierenberg has been traveling across sub-Saharan Africa. She says the cost of a cell phone there is low enough that most farmers have their own or borrow someone else’s.In Zambia, for example, farmers without bank accounts can use their phones to buy seeds and fertilizers. They can also get information on how much their crop is selling for in city markets. They can decide whether they want to travel all the way from their village to the city, because sometimes farmers get there and prices are too low.Listening Task 2Directions:Listen to the passage and fill the blanks with the information you’v e heard.The Japanese archipelago is located in an area where several continental and oceanic plates meet. This is the cause of frequent earthquakes and the presence of many volcanoes and hot springs across Japan.Many parts of the country have experienced devastating earthquakes in the past. The Great Kanto Earthquake, the worst in Japanese history, hit the Kanto plain around Tokyo in 1923 and resulted in the deaths of over 100,000 people. In January 1995 a strong earthquake hit the city of Kobe and surroundings. Known as the Southern Hyogo Earthquake or Great Hanshin Earthquake, it killed 6,000 and injured 415,000 people. 100,000 homes were completely destroyed and 185,000 were severely damaged.As to the earthquake measurement, the Japanese “shindo” scale for measuri ng earthquakes is more commonly used in Japan than the Richter scale to describe earthquakes. Shindo refers to the intensity of an earthquake at a given location.Every household should keep a survival kit with a flashlight, a radio, a first aid kit and enough food and water to last for a few days. Avoid placing heavy objects in places where they could easily fall during an earthquake and cause injury or block exits. Have a fire extinguisher. Familiarize yourself with the designated evacuation area in your neighborhood.Unit 3 OceanPart I In-class ListeningI.

Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the following conversation and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.A student is interviewing a weatherman Li Hua.M: Hello, Li Hua. I’m interested in hurricanes飓风whose matchless无比的无敌的power and the loss they cause are often reported in TV news. I wonder how a hurricane form.W: OK! In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical热带的Atlantic and the Caribbean Sea加勒比海. About half of them generate strong circle盘旋的winds of 75 miles per hour or more. At first, these great storms travel aimlessly漫无目的over the sea, hit the coast海岸and form circling disturbance干扰骚乱hundreds even thousands of miles out to the sea. M: Is such a circle disturbance called hurricane?W: No. When the conditions are just right, moist air湿空气flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, the moisture in the warm air produces rain and with the moisture, the heat is converted into energy in form of strong wind. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl旋转in a counter-clockwise逆时针motion.M: How long does a hurricane exist?W: Its average life is only nine days. But it is difficult to imagine how great energy it produces in a single day.M: How great?W: The energy released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for six months.M: Wow! How much rain does a hurricane bring?W: A typical hurricane brings 6-12 inches downpours倾盆大雨, resulting in sudden flood. The water level rises at 15 feet above the normal as it moves toward shore.M: And there, it causes millions of dollars of damage and brings death to large number of people.W: Yeah.M: Thank you very much!W: You’re welcome!Questions:1. When do hurricanes often occur?2. When is a tropic storm considered to be a hurricane?3. In what motion do hurricanes usually begin to swirl as the heat increases?4. On an average how long does a hurricane exist？5. What a rainfall does a hurricane bring?III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific Ocean, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 miles wide where Columbus crossed it. Even its narrowest is about 2,000 miles wide.Two things make the Atlantic rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. Also it is the world’s saltiest ocean.There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much water there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water were brought to it by rivers, it would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up.One of the largest mountain ranges山脉of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. This mountain range runs north and south down the middle of the ocean. The tops of a few mountains reach up露出来above the sea and make islands.Ocean currents海洋洋流are sometimes called “rivers in the sea”. One of these “rivers”in the Atlantic is called “the Gulf Stream”. It is a current of warm water. Another is “Labrador Current拉布拉多寒流”. It is a current of cold water. The cold water comes from the Arctic Ocean current北冰洋洋流.Today the Atlantic is a great highway交通干线. However it is not always a smooth and safe one. Storms暴风雨sweep across it and pile up积累great waves. Icebergs float down from the north across of the path of ships.Questions:1. How wide is the Atlantic Ocean where Columbus crossed?2. Which of the following makes the Atlantic Ocean unusual?3. Which of the following is sometimes called “River in the sea”?4. Where does one of the largest mountain ranges of the world rise from?5. What does the “High Way” mean in this passage？Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the words you have heard.The Arctic Ocean is located in the Northern Hemisphere, and almost in the Arctic North polar region. It’s the smallest and shallowest of the world’s five major oceans.The Arctic Ocean is almost completely surrounded by Eurasia, North America, Greenland, and by several islands. It occupies a roughly circular basin and covers an area of 14 million sq. km, almost the size of Russia. The coast line is over 45 thousand km.The Arctic Ocean’s salinity varies seasonally as the ice cover melts and freezes. Its salinity is the lowest on average of the five major oceans, due to the low evaporation, heavy freshwater inflow from rivers and streams, and limited connection and outflow to surrounding oceanic water with higher salinity.The Arctic Ocean holds 25% or more of the world’s undiscovered oil and gas resources. Fish, seals, whales hares, polar bears, sea gulls can be found in abundance in the area. However, it has a fragile ecosystem which is slow to change and slow to recover from disruption or damage.Unit 4 Environmental ProtectionPart I In-class ListeningI. Understanding Basic SkillsListening TaskDirections: Listen to the following short conversations and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.1. M: Do sit down, please. Would you like something to drink?W: Yes, please. That’ll be nice.Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?2. M: A terrible day again, I wonder when this will end.W: Well, the weatherman predicts it won’t last long. Better weather is on the way. Q: What will the weather be like in the near future?3. W: I wonder if I could use your phone.M: Oh, I’m sorry. You see, it’s out of order again.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?4. M: Your power of concentration is amazing. Didn’t you hear me come in?W: Are you talking to me?Q: What can be inferred from this conversation about the woman?5. W: I’ve got time to buy a magazine, haven’t I?M: The train is about to leave.Q: What does the man mean?6. M: Aren’t we supposed to have a literature test this afternoon?W: It’s postponed because the teacher has to attend a conference.Q: What can we learn from this conversation?7. W: I am afraid this research work is really beyond me.M: Oh, why not come to Dr. Scott?Q: What does the man mean?8. W: I wonder if a problem like this can be solved by Linda.M: Well, if she can’t solve it, no one can.Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?9. M: The play should have begun ten minutes ago. What’s holding things up?W: The main actor is caught in a traffic jam.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?10. M: Do you like Professor Zhang’s class?W: I never miss her class, you know.Q: What can we learn from the conversation?II. Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences. (Emma and Michael are talking about tropical rain forests.)W: Hi, Michael, how did you enjoy your trip to Brazil?M: Oh, very well. We’ve been to different parts of the country.W: What do you like most about Brazil?M: Its forests. Brazil has one of the largest tropical rain forests in the world. There are many different kinds of trees there. It’s wonderful.W: I can imagine. It’s said that the area is the heaven for plants. Is that true?M: Yes. It has an average rainfall of about 400 inches a year, and the average temperature is about 28℃. It’s just the right condition for trees to grow.W: But a recent report says that tropical rain forests will disappear soon. Is it true?Why is it happening?M: It’s true. It is because of the destruction of forests. Men are over cutting down trees for money.W: It’s really stupid to do so. They don’t know such destruction may even change the climate.M: That’s what we are worried about. Trees are closely related to climate. Climate changes may also lead to decrease in trees. The result will be terrible.III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions you hear.There are many stories about global warming. You cannot pick up a newspaper or watch TV without hearing about it. There are different opinions on it. A small number of people think that global warming is not real. They say that the earth’s climate has been changing for as long as anyone can remember. Why worry about the changes that are happening today?Most people, on the other hand, take the problem very seriously indeed. Scientists have shown that for the past twenty years the temperature of the earth has been increasing by 0.1℃every year. As the earth gets hotter, ice caps in the North Pole and the South Pole will slowly melt. The level of the oceans will rise. A recent report says the sea will rise by 70 meters in the next five generations.But there will be many more changes. Certain areas of the earth will become wetter, while others will become drier. Areas which today are green and fertile will turn into deserts. Summers will become warmer. Tropical diseases such as malaria will be common in areas where today that are unknown.Why is this happening? For many people the answer is simple—greenhouse gases are allowing more of the infrared heat from sun to reach us on earth. They believe the solution is also simple and lies with each one of us—stop producing greenhouse gases. In other words, stop using your car!Questions:1. What changes will be brought about by global warming?2. Which of the following is true?3. What should we do to stop global warming?4. Which of the following is the most probable title for the passage?Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the following passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words or phrases you hear.On July the 4th, 2010, Chinese actress Li Bingbing, was designated in Shanghai as the first national Goodwill Ambassador in China for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).As Goodwill Ambassador, Li Bingbing will help UNEP in its mission to generate awareness and understanding of environmental causes, as well as inspire positive action.The new Goodwill Ambassador will help focus attention on some of the biggest threats facing the planet, climate change and environment.“I am honored to have this opportunity to work with UNEP on the environment. I am an environmentalist in my personal life and I try to share this passion with my fans and the wider public,” she said.Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director said: “Li Bingbing is our first G oodwill Ambassador in China and UNEP is delighted to welcome her on board. UNEP commends her personal commitment to a greener lifestyle and her passion to influence the public.”Test OneI. Understanding Basic SkillsDirections: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words, phrases or sentences you hear.All big cities are quite similar. Living in a modern Asian city is not very different from living in an American city. The same cannot be said about living on farms, however.In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, however, each farm family lives on its own fields, often beyond the sight of any neighbors. Instead of traveling from a village to the fields every morning, American farmers stay on their land throughout the week. They travel to the nearest town on Saturdays for shopping or on Sundays for church. The children ride on buses to large schools which serve all of the farm families living in the area. In some areas, there are small schools serving a few farm families, and the children walk to school.Of course life keeps changing for everyone, including farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios and television sets. And of course there are modern machines for farming. All of these have changed farm life.For many years, however, farming in America was often a lonely way of living. Farmers had to deal with their own problems, instead of getting help from others. They learned to try new methods, and to trust their own ideas instead of following older ways.II.

ThanksPart CTapescript Defective GoodsThe other day, Mrs. White bought some bed linen at a small store near her home. The store had a good reputation, and Mrs. White had often shopped there before. But when she got home and examined the sheets, Mrs. White was shocked. One of them had a big hole in the middle, and another was badly stained. And two others were frayed at the edges.As you can imagine, Mrs. White was very angry and she went back immediately to complain. When she arrived, the store was closed and the two other angry ladies were waiting outside. One of them told Mrs. White that she had bought some towels that morning, and the other lady said that she had purchased a linen tablecloth. In both cases the goods were defective. A little later some other women joined them, and they all told the same story.Finally the storekeeper appeared and let them in. The poor man looked very worried. He became very nervous when the ladies threatened to call the police, but he denied trying to cheat them. Then he explained what had happened. In his absence, the driver of a delivery truck had mistaken his shop for a secondhand goods store and had delivered a load of used material from a nearby hotel. The sales clerk had not bothered to check the delivery and had started selling the defective goods right away.The storekeeper apologized for the mis take and promised to exchange the ladies’ purchases and to refund half the price. Needless to say he fired the careless assistant.。

Onesaid to the other, “Why are we down in this hole digging a ditch when our bossis standing up there in the shade of a tree?” “I don’t know,” responded theothe r. “I’ll ask him.”So he climbed out of the hole and went to his boss. “Why are we diggingin the hot sun and you’re standing in the shade?” “Intelligence,” the bosssaid. “What do you mean, intelligence?”The boss said, “Well, I’ll show you. I’ll put my han d on this tree andI want you to hit it with your fist as hard as you can.” The ditch digger tooka mighty swing and tried to hit the boss’ hand. The boss removed his hand andthe ditch digger hit the tree. The boss said, “That’s intelligence!”The ditch digg er went back to his hole. His friend asked, “What did hesay?” “He said we are down here because of intelligence.” “What’sintelligence?” said the friend. The ditch digger put his hand on his face andsaid, “Take your shovel and hit my hand.”Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks withthe exact words or phrases you hear.Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others.Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man withan unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presenceof a pretty girl. He fumbles for words and talks in a halting manner. But don’tmake the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can expresshimself eloquently.Other people may fool you into overestimating their intelligence byputting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes inclass is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when itcomes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.It all boils down to this—you can’t judge someone byappearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get toknow him. Then you can observe how he reacts to different situations. The moresituations you observe, the more accurate your judgment is likely to be. Sotake your time. Don’t judge the book by its cover.Test ThreeI.

In the core of the sun, the pressures are so great againstthe gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a solid core.However, no one really knows the fact, since the center of the sun can never bedirectly observed.The sun’s outermost layer begins about 10,000 miles above the visiblesurface and goes outward for millions of miles. This is the only part of thesun that can be seen during eclipses such as the one in February 1979. At anyother time, the corona can be seen only when special instruments are used oncameras and telescopes to shut out the glare of the sun’s rays.The corona is a brilliant, pearly white, filmy light, about as brightas the full moon. Its beautiful rays are sensational sight during an eclipse.The corona’s rays flash out in a brilliant fan that has wispy spike like raysnear the sun’s north and south poles. The corona is thickest at the sun’sequator.The corona rays are made up of gases streamingoutward at tremendous speed and reaching a temperature of more than two milliondegrees Fahrenheit. The rays of sun thin out as they reach the space around theplanets. By the time the sun’s corona rays reach the earth, they are weak andinvisible.Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the passage and fill inthe blanks with the exact words or sentences you hear.Countries benefit greatly from hosting an Olympic Games, gainingpublicity and increased tourism, but the most visible improvements usually goto the host city alone. This is obviously the case with Beijing. The 2008Summer Games lasted for just sixteen days, but the impact on the city will lastdecades.Beijing spent at least $20 billion ontransforming the crowded and polluted capital into a clean and different city.About one quarter of the total went to clean up the air and water pollution,while the rest was spent on infrastructures, including transportation andinformation services.A key factor in Beijing’s winning bid was apromise to improve the city’s poor air quality. Thousands of buses were changedfrom diesel to natural gas, and natural gas was piped into the city’s homes,replacing the coal-burning furnaces that cause much of the pollution.Beijing also appeared to havelearnt from the mistakes of previous host cities. Against the advice of the InternationalOlympic Committee, Sydney built a large 125,000-seat stadium for the 2000Summer Games, and it was filled to the capacity during many of the ceremoniesand events. But in the yearsfollowing the Games, Sydney has had troublefilling the seats. Beijing, by contrast, only built an 80,000-seat stadium.Unit 1 YouthPart I In-classListeningI.

Increased social life 2. Limited space3. Possible low GPA (grade pointaverage)■ScriptThere are pros and cons of living on campus.Pros1. Accessibility to the school. If you live on campus, you can easily walk to the classes, libraries, computer labs, cafeterias, etc. You don’t have to waste time and money on driving to school, finding a parking space, and so forth.2. Increased social life. Living on campus will allow you to meet more people and establish more friendships than living off campus. You will also usually be aware of any campus activities and how to be involved in them.Cons1. Little privacy. When living in a dorm, it can be very hard to find privacy. You have to share bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. You may never have quiet time in your dorm because there will always be something going on.2. Limited space. At most colleges, the dorm rooms are tiny. You have to limit what you bring to school, or your space will be too crowded.3. Possible low GPA (grade point average). Because dorm life is very social, your grades may be affected in a negative way. If you constantly choose hanging out with your dorm buddies over studying at the library, then your GPA will suffer.Ⅱ.

D5. A■ScriptListening for general comprehensionFreshmen 15 is a plague that haunts the mind of all newly high school graduates. You hear of this horror tale before even stepping foot on a college campus. So what exactly is the freshmen 15? Legend says that during your freshmen year of college, you end up gaining around fifteen pounds. Is this simply a story told to scare young freshmen, or a reality?The bad news is that a noticeable weight gain does occur among college students. However, the good news is it’s not as drastic as fifteen pounds. Food served in the dining halls is laden with fats while exercise in college has become a true burden. It is difficult to schedule a workout session among the already busy schedule filled with classes, clubs, homework, and organizations. Here at USC, the professors like to pack their students with work upon work, so students can truly “eat the fruits of the knowledge tree.”For an average student, it is considered a celebration if you could simply finish all your homework on time and sleep before 2 a.m. With that said, who cares about exercise?Listening for specific comprehension1. According to the passage, what does “15”refer to?2. How is the food like in the college’s dining halls?3. Which of the following is NOT included in the students’busy schedule according to the passage?。

Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions: Listen to the passage and choose the best answers to the following questions.The Origin of JazzJazz is a gift to the world from the American Jacks. It‟s rooted in the music that the black slaves sang as they picked cotton in Alabama. This strange rhythmic chanting, with its African harmonies, was encouraged by the white masters, who knew that it helped to get the work done.In the 1790s the Methodists began to convert the slaves to Christianity. Led by their own black ministers, the blacks worshipped in their own black churches—or out in the open air. Music played an essential part in their services. Before long they had Africanized the music of the Christian hymnbooks.It was the freeing of the slaves in 1865 which finally brought black musicians into the world of entertainment. In that great part of New Orleans, on the Mississippi River, bands of self-taught black musicians found work of another kind. In the colorful, pleasure-loving city, a flourishing “red light” district had grown up. To add to the attractions of their “houses”, the madams hired black bands. These black musicians had heard plenty of western-style music and were undoubtedly influenced by it, but most of them could not read music or write it down. They simply struck up a short theme and then improvised endlessly on it.This improvised music, with its exciting syncopated rhythms, its “African”harmonies, its expression of emotion and mood, became known as jazz.Listening Task 2Directions:Listen to the passage and choose the best answers to the following questions.When Stevie Morris was born, it looked as though his life would be very hard. Not only was he poor and black, he was also blind from birth. But Stevie was so busy laughing, playing, and enjoying himself that he didn‟t notice how he was different from other children.Almost as soon as he could walk, Stevie showed a love for music. His family was amazed by how quickly Stevie learned to play the toy drum set and the toy harmonica he was given. Despite the handicap, he began to teach himself the piano at the age of seven, and had also mastered drums and harmonica by the age of nine. Soon, Stevie began playing rock and roll music with his friends on the front porch of the apartment building where he lived.When Stevie was only nine years old, he auditioned for Motown Records. When they heard him play, the record company people knew he was something special. They came up with the word “Wonder” surname stating that “We can‟t keep introducing him as the …8th Wonder of the World‟”. And soon Stevie had a new name. He would become world famous as Little Stevie Wonder.Stevie Wonder‟s first hit record, called “Fingertips”, came when he was just twelve years old. As he became an adult, Stevie started producing his own albums and became one of the most popular and influential performers in popular music. “The man has been, probably, the most influential Black Music artist over the last 4 decades.”In 1973, at the height of his fame, Stevie encountered another challenge. A car accident left him badly injured, unable to speak or walk. But Stevie fought back from the accident and soon resumed his place at the top of the pop music charts. Stevie Wonder overcame his own darkness and his music has brought sunshine to the shadow of many other lives.Unit 5 SportsPart I In-class ListeningI.

Understanding a ConversationListening TaskDirections: Listen to the conversation and fill in the blanks according to what you hear.W: My classmates are talking a lot about IQ these days. Do you know what it is all about?M: Yes. IQ, or intelligence quotient, is a number used to indicate a person’s intelligence.W: Yeah, and what is it based on?M: It’s based on a comparison of his or her score on an intelligence test with the scores of others on the same test. W: Well, I see. And what is the purpose for the researchers to test people’s IQ?M: Different IQ tests are carried out in different fields and they are of great help.Take the school for example.Teachers in some countries use IQ scores to help judge whether children are progressing. If a child scores high on IQ tests but does poorly in class, the teacher may try to determine what circumstances keep the child from learning. If a child scores low on IQ tests and is doing poorly in class, the teacher may try to separate learning tasks into smaller or more familiar units.W: That sounds nice. Do you know the result of the practice?M: Yes, with such help, the children make progress rapidly. IQ tests can also provide a means of grouping individuals with similar abilities.III. Understanding PassagesListening Task 1Directions:Listen to the passage and write down the relevant information.What Is Intelligence?Two men were digging a ditch in the mountain on a very hot day. One said to the other, “Why are we down in this hole digging a ditch when our boss is standing up there in the shade of a tree?” “I don’t know,” responded the other. “I’ll ask him.”So he climbe d out of the hole and went to his boss. “Why are we digging in the hot sun and you’re standing in the shade?” “Intelligence,” the boss said. “What do you mean, i ntelligence?”The boss said, “Well, I’ll show you. I’ll put my hand on this tree and I want you to hit it with your fist as hard as you can.” The ditch digger took a mighty swing and tried to hit the boss’ hand. The boss removed his hand and the ditch digger hit the tree. The boss said, “That’s intelligence!”The ditch digger went back to his hole. His friend asked, “What did he say?” “He said we are down here because of intelligence.” “What’s intelligence?” said the friend. The ditch digger put his hand on his face and said, “Take your shovel and hit my hand.”Listening Task 2Directions: Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks with the exact words or phrases you hear.Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for words and talks in a halting manner. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. Wit h a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently.Other people may fool you into overestimating their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.It all boils down to this—you can’t judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate your judgment is likely to be. S o take your time. Don’t judge the book by its cover.。
