英语四级听力新题型模拟听写训练:第1套-短篇新闻(1) Questions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item. Recently, a photo showing a visitor on the Great Wall last week aroused a heated discussion on the Internet. They called it the "great queue of China". It was, with the famous structure snaking to the horizon behind him completely hidden by a mass of other tourists. The vast imperial palace, the Forbidden City, at one point welcomed more than 180,000 visitors in a single day. In the desert at Dunhuang, at least two camels transporting tourists reportedly died from overwork in the Golden Week. And Chinese media said road traffic was up by thirteen percent on last year, causing unprecedented jams. 英语四级听力新题型模拟听写训练(第1套) 短篇新闻(2) Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item. These days, German government has been criticized for not doing enough to commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I. Germany has spent less on events than some other European countries. And the events which have taken place have been seen as half-hearted by critics. Traditionally in Germany the First World War is overshadowed by the Second World War. History teaching in German schools tends to focus on the crimes of the Nazis rather than what happened a generation earlier. And since 1945 there's been a strong aversion in Germany to anything that might be seen as glorifying militarism. So many people here are uncomfortable with any anniversary of a war or a battle. There's still some disagreement among historians about who was responsible for World War I. But having spent the last 70 years making up for Nazi guilt, many Germans have little appetite to now take on the blame for the First World War, too. Question 3.What makes the German government be criticized recently? Question 4.What's the attitude of German people towards militarism? 问题3和问题4是基于下面这则新闻的。 近日，德国政府被谴责的原因是因为第一次世界大战100周年的活动做得不够充分。 相比欧洲其他各国，德国对此纪念活动不够重视。 其举行的纪念活动更被民众指责敷衍了事。 在德国，第二次世界大战比第一次世界大战更受重视。 德国的的历史教学也更加侧重纳粹所犯罪行，而并非发生在上一代人身上的悲剧。 1945年以来，德国民众强烈反对任何可能被视为美化军国主义的行为。 因此，每当有任何战争或战役纪念日时，德国民众心中多有不快。 历史学家在“谁该对第一次世界大战负责”的问题上仍然存在分歧。 过去的70年里，德国一直在弥补纳粹所犯下的罪行, 因此，多数德国人认为德国也不应该为第一次世界大战担责。 问题3.德国政府因何倍受指责？ 问题4.德国民众对军国Questions 3 and 4 will be based on the following news item.

2021年12月英语四级(第2套)听力真题新闻报道(1) The British government has called for more men to consider a career in nursing. Figures show the number of male nurses has fallen in the last three years. Now, the number of men working in the nursing sector has reached a seven-year low. Numbers of male nurses increased between 2021 and 2021 and reached a peak of 7168. This figure has dropped to only 6924 in 2021. The UK Health Secretary said this is clearly a cultural problem, and probably one that exists in many parts of the world. But we can make efforts to change that now. We want to persuade males to think about career options of going into nursing. There is absolutely no reason why men can't go into this profession. The health secretary said that the government already has plans to attract a more varied workforce into nursing. She stated, we are leading the way on workforce planning. We will become the first nation in Europe to publish a national health and care workforce plan.英国政府呼吁更多的男性考虑从事护理工作。数据显示男护士的数量在过去三年中有所下降。现在，在护理部门工作的男性人数已达到7年来的最低水平。2021年至2021年期间，男护士人数增加，达到过一个高峰，有7168人。2021年，这一数字已降至

2020年9月英语四级听力原文：短篇新闻1海洋污染
2020年9月英语四级听力原文：短篇新闻1 海洋污染 Section A News Report 1 A NASA satellite orbiting over Portugal took photographs that reveal the effects of pollution from ships. One of the photos shows a thin film of clouds above the brilliant blue of the North Atlantic, cut by white lines of thicker clouds that look like scars. NASA officials explained those thicker clouds are signs of ship traffic below. When ships power their ways through the ocean, they pump exhaust into the atmosphere, just as cars do. And those massive amounts of particles can cause clouds to form. Get enough of those particles in one place, as from the exhaust of a ship, and they can lead to the creation of new clouds easily visible from space. “These clouds can be huge, some of them stretch hundreds of ki lometers from end to end”, NSAS officials said. It’s likely that these sorts of clouds are having some effect on the global climate, according to NASA officials. But scientists aren’t yet sure what effect it has.

2021年12月英语四级(第2套)听力真题短文(1) Analytical skills are our ability to understand and solve problems using information we have available. These skills are extremely important for our professional, social, and intellectual lives. What are the best ways to improve them? One way is to expand your world view. Unfortunately, this takes time. Ultimately, it will help you better evaluate information and analyze different ideas and outcomes. Traveling is a great way to expand your world view, although it can be expensive. An entertaining way of enhancing your analytical skills is to engage them by playing brain games. These are games that challenge you to think deeply and to develop your analytical skills. These games will get you used to thinking in a certain way. As a result, they will help improve your ability to think. However, opinions vary on whether video games are effective. The general consensus is that the best ones avoid mindless violence, and instead focus on strategy and challenge us to solve problems and achieve broad goals. Joining a debate or reading club or group is also a good idea. This provides people with the opportunity to come together and discuss ideas,
