interviewee,its difficult to strike a balance between maintaining the educational quality and making sure as many people as possible receive university education.in the past years, china has been confronted with the same problem.the university eollment has been on the increase and some institutions of higher learning do not have enough teachers and teaching facilities,thus affecting the educational quality.task 3:lets group work!vi. further listening and speakinglistening task:task1: problems with our educational systemscript:hi, everybody. my topic today is problems with our educational system.i disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened for a long time in our educational system.it seems that educators just want to give standardized tests,which focus only on academic performance and neglect students abilities and interest in other areas.i think there are a lot of people who are very intelligent,but havent had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in a broader-minded educational system.i feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high school are too academic, and, as a result,many kids have lost their interest in cators often fail to recognize various kinds of intelligence.they simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded as possible. i think being well-rounded isnt really possible.and as a consequence, some students i believe to be intelligent cant get into good colleges if they,you know, havent scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliant writers. another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students are separatedfrom the rest of the school.some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower than others. and theyre very aware of their social position, you know.i think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive. theyre just acting in a way they are expected. often their grades go from bad to worse. and thats pretty sad.i think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent,but they never actually realize their potential because of the way they are treated early on in their education.keys:(1)standardized tests(2)abilities and interest(3)interest(4)pressure(5)well-rounded(6)get into good colleges(7)the rest of the school(8)from bad to worsetask 2: the final examscriptat a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course.they were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, etc. that each had an a so far for the semester.these four friends were so confident that on the weekend before the final, they decided to go up to the university of virginia and party with some friends there.ning. rather than taking the final then,they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to him why they missed it.they explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam, but, unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back and didnt have a spare. as a result, they missed the final.the professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final the following day.the guys were relieved and elated.the next day, the professor placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a paper, and told them to begin.they looked at the first problem, worth five points.it was a simple question on a chemical reaction.cool, they all thought at the same time, each one in his separate room, this is going to be easy.each finished the problem and then turned the page.on the second page was a question worth 95 points: which of the tires was flat?keys:(1)course(2)quizzes(3)semester(4)confident(5)party(6)make(7)missed(8)they had a flat tire on the way back and didnt have a spare(9)placed them in separate rooms, handed each of

arrival of the pilgrims at plymouth,the university has grown from nine students with a single master to the present eollment of more than 21,000 students,including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools. over 14,000 people work at harvard, including more than 2,100 faculty members. harvard has produced eight american presidents and many nobel prize winners. during its early years, harvard offered a classic academic course based on the model of english universities,but consistent with the prevailing puritan philosophy.although many of its early graduates became ministers in puritan churches throughout new england,the university was never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.under president pusey, harvard started what was then the largest fundraising campaign in the history of american higher education.it was an 82.5-million-dollar program for the university.the program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created new professorships,and expanded harvards physical facilities.neii l. rudenstine took office as harvards 26th president in 1991.as part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among the universitys schools and faculties,rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of harvards main intellectual priorities.he also stressed the importance of the universitys excellence in undergraduate education,the significance of keeping harvards doors open to students from families of different economic backgrounds,and the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapid information growth and serious fund shortage.keys: 1.b 2.a 3. c 4.d 5.dviewing and speaking:task 1:university budget cutsscripthost: well, david lammy, the university minister, joins me from westminster. now thanks for joining us this lunchtime,mr. lammy. how do these cuts... tie in with your much trumpeted commitment to increasing higher education?interviewee: well, i think its important to remind viewers that we will spend well over 12 billion pounds on higher education this year and to also say that there will be more students at university next year than ever before in our history.but what is important is that when they get to university, is that they have good facilities, good buildings,that they have good contact with their lecturers and, for students from poorer backgrounds that they receive a grant.and you know 40 percent of students who are going to university are in receipt of some grants. so we have to plan...host:but theres going to be less money next year. thats the bottom line, isnt it? interviewee: er, we are asking universities to make a one percent cut in their teaching grant.thats 51 million out of a total budget of over five billion.look, i think there are families across the country preparing for christmas spending a bit less and theyre,you know, its a lot more than one percent that theyre, theyre feeling.so i think this is reasonable to ask universities if we are to ensure that we cancontinue to send more young people to university and we remain committed to that. host:and briefly, what about these two-year degrees? this is a reduction in standards, isnt it?interviewee:well, we, we, we... its important in this country that we remember that students arent just the classic 18- to 21-year-old undergraduates.we want mature students. we want more parttime students and over the last few years weve been growing the number of foundation degree,two-year degrees that ensure that transition into high university and high level skills. thats what we want to support and thats what were indicating in the grant letter that weve sent to universities over the last few days.host:ok. david lammy, thank you so much for joining us.interviewee:thank you.keys:(1)increasing(2)12 / twelve(3)more(4)facilities(5)lecturers(6)poorer(7)grant【篇三：第三版新视野大学英语3视听说】aringt2 daredevil bungee jumpingcup of tea feel goodachievement t3

We went to Beijing to see the Great Wall, the Ming Tombs and Beijing' s Siheyuan.M: But I heard they have tom down a lot of such houses because people in the city need better housing.W: Yeah, I think no one goes anywhere in the world to see apartment houses. How canBeijing be Beijing without Hutongs?Q: What conclusion can be drawn from the conversation?15. W: What made you steal so much money? Did you need so much?M: First, I discovered this huge amount of money. Then I went from the need to pay off a few debts to what can only be described as greed.W: You just couldn't hold back your greed for money?M: Yeah, there is no way to justify it.Q: What is the possible relationship between the two speakers?16. W: Good evening. Can I help you?M: Oh, good evening. Yes, please. I'd like to have some information about nice places where I can have a drink.W: Well, you could go to the pub not far from the hotel.

(B)UNDERSTANDING LONG CONVERSATIONSConversation1 (Dr. Scott and Thomas Hunt talk about a man called Martin.)M 1: Dr. Scott, I have had some problems since my father died and left me all his money. Do you remember Martin, the man who took care of my father's gardens for many years?M2: A smiling, polite fellow, right?M 1: That's the man. I told him his job ended the day my father died. Well, three days ago he came to my office, smiling as always, and demanded that I pay him $100,000. He claimed to have been taking care of the trees outside my father's room when Dad prepared another will, leaving all of his money to his brother in New Zealand.M2: You believed him?M 1: I admit the news surprised me. Sometime during the last week in November, Dad and I had argued about my plans to marry Elizabeth. Dad did not want us to marry, so it seemed possible that he had decided to change his will and leave all his money to his brother instead of to me. Martin said he had my father' s second will and offered to sell it to me and keep it a secret for one hundred thousand dollars. He told me that the second will would be considered legal because it was dated November 31, the day after the will that left my father's money to me. I refused. He tried to bargain, asking $50,000, and then $25,000. M2: You paid nothing, I hope?M 1: Nothing at all. I told him to get out of my house.M2: Quite right. The story is clearly not true! Questions 1 to 5 are based on the conversation you have just heard.1. Who was Martin?2. According to Martin, who did Thomas' father leave his money to?3. What did Thomas and his father argue about?4. How much did Martin demand first in order to keep the "secret"?5. Why did Dr. Scott say the story was clearly not true?Conversation 2M: Excuse me, madam.W: Yes?M: Would you mind letting me take a look in your bag?W: I beg your pardon?M: I'd like to look into your bag, if you don't mind.W: Well I'm afraid I certainly do mind, if it's all the same to you. Now go away. M: I'm afraid I shall have to insist, madam.W: And just who are you to insist, may I ask? I advise you to go away before I calla policeman.M: I am a policeman, madam. Here's my identity card.W: What? Oh... well.., and just what right does that give you to go around looking into people's bags?M: None whatsoever, unless I have reason to believe that there's something in the bags belonging to someone else?W: What do you mean belonging to someone else?M: Well, perhaps, things that haven't been paid for?W: Are you talking about stolen goods? I don't know what things are coming to when perfectly honest citizens get stopped in the street and have their bags examined.M: Exactly, but ifthe citizens are honest they wouldn't mind, would they? So mayI look in your bag, madam? We don't want to make a fuss, do we?W: Fuss? Who's making a fuss? Stopping people in the street and demanding to see what they've got in their bags. Now go away. I've got a train to catch.M: I'm sorry. I'm trying to do my job as politely as possible but I'm afraid you're making it rather difficult. However, I must insist on seeing what you have in your bag.W: And what, precisely, do you expect to find in there? The jewels?M: Madam, if there's nothing in there which doesn't belong to you, you can go straight off and catch your train and I'll apologize for the inconvenience. W: Oh, very well. There you are.M: Thank you. And ten men's watches?W: Er, yes. I get very nervous if I don't know the time. Anxiety, you know. We all suffer from it in this day and age.M: I see you smoke a lot, too, madam. Fifteen cigarette lighters?W: Yes, I am rather a heavy smoker.

If so, be careful. There is a pickpocket looking for you. World travelers, away from home and usually carrying a lot of money, are often troubled by pickpockets in foreign countries, but they should remember that there are pickpockets in their own countries, too.A typical pickpocket is under forty years of age, usually a male. He has trained himself in running. Generally, he carries a newspaper or magazine in his hand. He may appear fairly clever and pretend to be calm. He has learned his job from another pickpocket, and he pays his "teacher" back by giving him a percentage of the money or things which he steals.The good pickpocket always operates in crowded places. Very well-dressed men and slightly drunken men are the favorite objects of the pickpocket.An average-sized department store hires about six or seven men and women who are looking for pickpockets and thieves all the time. Many police districts have such people whose only job is to catch the pickpockets quickly. But a good pickpocket knows these things and is very careful. He is especially busy on buses, trains and subways between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. when there are many shoppers with a lot of money to spend. He carefully remembers the payday ofcompanies.Pickpocketing and stealing from a shop together represent about 75% of daytime crime in America. The sentence for these crimes is usually from three to five years in prison. After finishing their sentence, pickpockets and thieves usually advance to more serious crimes.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. What does a typical pickpocket look like?2. Where does a good pickpocket always operate?3. What will happen to a pickpocket if he is caught in America?4. What will a pickpocket most probably do after finishing his sentence?5. What is the main purpose of the author of the passage?Passage2A wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil was for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values.A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isn't hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and for their consequences.Of the many values that hold civilization together -- honesty, kindness, and so on --accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law -- and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or who have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people's behavior are far less effective than internal controls such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner controls are loosening. Someone considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life.The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, shockingly, it's the criminal who is considered the victim because of the school that didn't teach him to read, because of the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, and because of the parents who didn't provide a stable home.I don't believe it. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We in America badly need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.6. According to the author, what is wrong with the American way of life?7. What do people in large cities and suburbs tend to have?8. What is the shift in most people's attitude towards criminals?9. What will be the consequences if criminals are considered victims?10. What is more effective than external controls on people's behavior? Passage3Lillian Beard smiled while she worked. "Why are you so happy?" her coworkers asked her."Last week some of my income tax was paid back." Lillian answered. "This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $462 in my pocket. I'm thinking about the money. How will I spend it?"After work Lillian came back home and decided to wash some clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty. So she put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she remembered the money in the pocket of her jeans. Lillian ran to the washing machine a nd took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table to dry.A few hours later the money was still wet. Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in it and left the kitchen. When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the microwave door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned.The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her. "If I can see the numbers on the burned bills, I can give you new money." Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $17.A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. "Tell Ms. Beard to send the burned money to the U.S. Department of Treasury," the people said. "Maybe she can get her money back."Lillian sent her money to the Department of Treasury. The experts looked at Lillian's burned money and sent her a check for $231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn't buy anything. She gave the $231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, "When I burned the $462, I thought, 'Well, my money is gone.' The check for $231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me."Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. Why was Lillian so happy that day?12. What happened to the money?13. How much money did she get back from the bank?14. How did she spend the money finally?15. What did she realize after what had happened?Passage4American TV and movies once gave a tough and cruel picture of the American police, though now there are TV series which have policemen as heroes and defenders of society. The police are grateful for their new image, especially in cities where there are black ghettos. White policemen are now careful of how they speak and behave towards their fellow black citizens.The ordinary policeman, is a city or a state employee. He cannot arrest anyone outside his city or his state. He cannot even cross the border into a neighboring state to catch a criminal. If he does, he can be charged with breaking the law of that state. The police who have to be really tough are those that operate in big cities, like New York, Chicago and Detroit, which have large ghettos and organized criminals.Since the majority of criminals are armed, American policemen have to use their guns more often than most policemen in other places. American policemen get shot down, run over, beaten up, and their wives are often in fear that one day their men will not come home.Many policemen do a lot to help children whose parents are criminals. They understand better than most citizens the awful sufferings of the ghettos. They feel sorry for the drug users, but often treat roughly the "pushers" who sell the drugs -- when they can catch them. They have been criticized for making no serious efforts to break up the many different drug rings. They claim that such a task would be never-ending.In big cities, the Po l ice Commissioner (Head of the Force) is often appointed by the Mayor and therefore senior police officers tend to be too closely linked to politics. Their ambitions sometimes tempt them to turn a blind eye or to accept bribes, which makes the ordinary policemen rather disappointed.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. How were the American police once described in American TV and movies?17. Why do the police of New York, Chicago and Detroit have a particularly tough time?18. In what way are American policemen different from those in other places?19. How do American policemen treat the children of criminals?20. What do senior police officers tend to be closely linked to?Key:Passage 1: 1. (B) 2. (C) 3. (B) 4. (D) 5. (B)Passage 2: 6. (A) 7. (C) 8. (B) 9. (D) 10. (D)Passage 3: 11. (B) 12. (C) 13. (A) 14.

M: Professor Lyle, you published the result of ynur study in the journal, right'? W: Yes, a study of 62 formerly inactive women who began exercising three timesa week for six months.M: What docs the study suggest?W: It suggests that even moderate exercise may lead to reduced iron levels in the blood of women.M: Could you tell me how many of women in general are affected by iron deficiency?W: Yes, certainly. One in four female teenagers, one in five women aged 18 to 45 and up to 80 percent of female endurance athletes.Q: Generally speaking, what percentage of female teenagers is not affected by iron deficiency?2. M: What's the matter, Jane?W: I have a headache, I keel) coughing and have a running nose.M: You've caught a cold. You'd better take some medicine and go to bed. And by the way, 1 think you need more exercise since you often catch colds.W: I want to exercise but never seem to find the time.M: Why not do it first thing in the morning?Q: What does the man suggest the woman to do'?3. W: Well, Mr. Johnson, you're at greatest risk since you smoke and drink too much. M: Am 1 in a serious condition?W: Yes, absolutely. It might be a good idea if you give up drinking and smoking altogether.M: Oh dear... I'm afraid that's out of the question.Q: How does the man feel about the doctor's advice?4. W: I'm absolutely exhausted since there are so many things to do before everybodyarrives for the party.M: What have you prepared for the party?W: I've cooked some meat, chicken and fish plus some vegetables.M: That sounds really good! When will the party begin?W: At 6: 00.M: Well, I can get the drink for you.W: Oh, can you, Mike? That'd be a great help.Q: Why is the woman so tired?5. M: Here is the result of your blood test. It shows that you have an irondeficiency.W: Iron deficiency! That's impossible.M: It's true. So that's why you often feel weak, tired and out of breath.W: Can I correct it?M: Yes, of course. You'd better correct the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet such as meat, chicken, fish, and some leafy green vegetables. I also recommend cooking in iron pans, as food can derive iron from the pan during the cooking process.Q: How can the woman solve her problem?6. M: What would you like to have, Becky?W: Just some sliced tomatoes and a glass of juice.M: How about some beef?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I am restricting my diet to control weight. Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?7. M: I really wish David would take more interest in medicine and become a doctorlike us. I don't know why he wants to become an athlete.W: But he's grown up. I think he should do what he wants to.Q: What does the father want his son to be?8. W: You look rather pale. Aren't you feeling well?M: Not very. I was sick most of the night. I didn't sleep very well. I think it's something I ate.W: Did you eat at Rome last night?M: No, we ate at that new restaurant. And I must have eaten something that didn't agree with me.Q: Why isn't the man feeling well?9. W: Hello.M: Oh, Hi, Joan. It's Joe. How are you doing?W: Terrible.M: Oh, what's the problem?W: I've got a pain in the shoulder.M: Oh, that's too bad. Why don't you go to the health center and see a doctor? W: Yeah, I suppose I ought to, but you know how I hate doctors.M: Well, at least you'd better lie down and take it easy for a while.W: Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I will.Q: What's the matter with the woman?10. W: Mr. Anderson, we think it's necessary for you to have another blood test.M: Why? I had one in our local hospital.W: Well, the traditional method of calculating the amount of iron in blood in that hospital is not sufficient. Instead, it's important to check levels ofa different compound.M: A different compound?W: Yeah, the compound indicates the amount of storage of iron in the blood. M: Ok, if you think it's necessary, then go ahead. Anything to get rid of the trouble.Q: What can be concluded from the conversation?11. W: What's your opinion of the new study conducted by that team of researchers? M: Well, I think they have really done a good job. According to their study, women who were normally inactive and then started a program of moderate exercise showed evidence of iron loss.W: So women should not ignore the amount of iron they take in.Q: What's the attitude of the man towards the researchers?12. M: There are more and more claims that people need some iron supplements in theirdaily life.W: I think it depends. Firstly experts say it's advisable for people to have a yearly blood test to check blood iron reserves. Then people should talk witha physician to see if their iron deficiency should be corrected by modifyingtheir diet or by taking supplements.M: Are they equally effective?W: No. In general, it's better to undo the problem by adding more iron-rich foods to the diet, because iron supplements can have serious shortcomings or may be poisonous in some cases.Q: What can be learned from the conversation?13. W: Shouldn't someone go to the supermarket to select some bread and cereals withthe words "iron-added" on the label?M: Don't look at me.Q: What does the man mean?14. M: I was shocked when I heard you'd finished your research project a whole monthearly.W: How we managed to do it is still a mystery to me.M: So what about your findings?W: We've found that active women of child-bearing age are most likely to have low iron levels. Actually men are not safe either, especially if they don't eat meat and have a high level of physical activity.Q: What can be drawn from the conversation?15. W: Eggs are supposed to be one of the most healthy foods.M: Next to potatoes.Q: What does the man mean?16. M: The doctor tells me that I'm in the second stage of iron deficiency.W: The second stage?M: Yeah, there are three stages. The first and most common is having low iron reserves, a condition that typically has no symptoms. In the second stage, fatigue and poor performance may begin to appear.W: Then maybe there's nothing serious since you're not at the third stage.M: That's not true. According to the doctor, if I wait until that point, I'll be in trouble.Q: What does the man mean?17. M: Ms. Beard, when will you suggest we meet to discuss the new study further?W: I am not really sure. What do you suggest?M: Urmn, shall we meet, say, at 10:15 on Thursday?W: Sure.Q: Why are they going to meet?18. W: Ah, Jack, good to see you again. Everything ready in your clinic?M: Oh, yes, Miss Temple. We can start very early tomorrow. Have you told the women to be there at eight?W: They will all be there.M: Are there many women with the problem?W: Well, yes, quite a few. You see, some of them are not careful about their food choices and they don't pay attention to some warning signs.M: You can't change their habits easily.Q: What do the woman and man mainly talk about?19. M: It seems that you've been in such a bad mood lately.W: I get up late in the morning, but I still sleep a lot and feel sleepy.M: You'd better get up early and do some running in the morning.W: But I heard exercise can result in iron loss through a variety of mechanisms.Q: What does the woman mean?20. M: Would you like some more chicken?W: No, thanks. It is delicious, but I've had enough. I understand you've becomea real cook recently, Paul.M: Well, since my wife began working, I decided to help out by making the meals every once in a while.Q: How often does Paul do the cooking at home?Key: 1.

No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, a Hollywood columnist used the name in his column.3.Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.4.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 filmwith fivespokes, 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 p ress called the award "the Academy statuette", "the golden trop hy" or "the statue of merit".The entertainment trade paper; Weekly Variety, even attem pted to popu larize "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 OscarNo hard evidenceexists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixthAwards Presentation in 1934, Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used the name in his column in reference to Katharine Hep burn's first Best Actress win.The Academy itself didn't use the nickname officially until 佃39.Since its conce ption,the Oscar statuette has met exacting uniform standards - with a few notable exce ptions.ln the 1930s, juvenile p layers received miniature rep licas* of the statuette; a ventriloquist* Edgar Bergen was p resented 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 featureSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Between 1942 and 1944, in support of the war effort, Oscars were made of p laster. 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 wasmade higher. In 1945, the base was changed frommarble to metal and in 1949, Academy Award statuettesbegan 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 p acked into a Styrofoam container slightly largerthan a shoebox.Eight of these are then p acked into a larger cardboard box, and the large boxesare shipped to the Academy offices in Beverly Hills via air exp ress, with no identifiable markings.On March 10, 2000, 55 Academy Awards mysteriouslyvanished en route from the Windy City* to the City of Angels. Nine days later, 52 of stolen statuettes were discovered next to a Dump ster*n the Koreatown section of LosAngeles by Willie Fulgear. who was later invited by the Academy to attend theOscar 2000 ceremonies as a sp ecial guest.For eight decades,the Oscars have survived war, weathered earthquakes, and even managed to esca pe unscathed* from common thieves. Since 1995, however, R. S. Owens has rep aired more than 160 statuettes. "Maybe somebody used chemicals onthem to p olish them and the chemicals rubbedright through the lacquer* and into the gold," explains the company president. "Or maybepeople stored them someplacewhere they corroded." Although he stressesthat 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.

Egypt regained a semblance of independence when one of Alexander'sgenerals set himself up as king of a new Egyptian state.The Nile River* was a kind friend but occasionally it was a hard taskmaster*. It taught the people who lived along its banks the noble art of "teamwork". They depended upon each other to build their irrigation trenches and keep their dikesin repair. In this way they learned how to get along with their neighbors andtheir mutual-benefit-associationquite easily developedinto an organized state.Then one man grew more powerful than most of his neighbors and he became the leader of the community and their commander-in-chief when the enviousneighbors ofwestern Asia invaded the prosperous valley. In due course of time he becametheir King and ruled all the land from the Mediterranean to the mountains of the west.But these political adventures of the old pharaohs* (the word meant "theMan who lived in the Big House") rarely interested the patient and toiling peasant of the grain fields. Providedhe was not obliged topay more taxes to hisKing than he thought lust, he accepted the rule of pharaoh as accepted therule of Mighty Osiris *.It was different however when a foreign invader came and robbed him of his possessions.After twenty centuries of independent life, a savage Arab tribe of shepherds, called the Hyksos, attacked Egypt and for five hundred years they were the masters of the valley of the Nile. They were highly unpopular and great hate was also felt for the Hebrews who came to the land of Goshen* to find a shelter after their long wandering through the desert and who helped the foreign usurper* by acting as his tax-gatherers and his civil servants.But shortly after the year 1700 B.C., the people of Thebes began a revolution and after a long struggle the Hyksos were driven out of the country and Egypt was free once more.A thousand years later, when Assyria* conquered all of western Asia, Egypt became part of the empire of Sardanapalus*. In the seventhcentury B.C., it becameonce more an independent stateExercise A Pre-listening Question,It is the Great Pyramid of Giza probably. The great pyramid is believed to have been built over a 20-year period. The site was first prepared, and blocks of stone were transported and placed. An outer casing (which disappeared over the years) was then used to smooththe surface. Although it is not known how the blocks were put in place, several theories have been proposed. One theoriynvolves the constructionof a straight or spiral ramp that was raised as the construction proceeded. This ramp, coated with mud and water, eased the displacement of theblocks which were pushed (or pulled) into place. A secondtheory suggeststhat the blocks were placed using long levers with a short angled foot.1. Exercise B Sentence DictationDirections: Listen to some sentences and write them down.

Many Asian cultures have included frog legsin their diets for centuries — or at least until they have run out of frogs.But themost famous frogeaters, and the people who inspired frogeating in Europe andthe United States are the French. By 1977 the French government, so concernedabout the scarcity of its native frog, banned commercial hunting of its ownamphibians*. So the French turned to India and Bangladesh for frogs.As happened in France, American frogleg fanciers and restaurants also turnedincreasingly to frozen imports.According to figures collected from governmentagencies,the United States imported more than 6.5 million pounds of frozen frogmeat each year between 1981 and 1984.So many frozen frog legs were exported from India to Europe and the UnitedStates. One of the attractions of Indian frogs, apart from the fact that they havebigger legs than French frogs, was the price. In London, a pound of frozen frog’slegs from India cost about £1.75, compared with £3.75 for the French variety.Indian scientists have described as “disastrous” the rate at which frogs aredisappearing from the rice fields and wetlands, where they protect crops bydevouring* damaging insects.Since the India and Bangladesh frogexport bans, Indonesia has become themajor exporter of frog legs to the United States and Europe. But no matter whatcountry the legs come from, one thing is usually constant: The legs once belong tofrogs that are taken from the wild, not from farms. Frogs are nearly impossible tofarm economically in the countries where frogs are commercially harvested fromthe wild.KeyA.1. Many Asian cultures have included frog legs in their diets forcenturies.2.

Part 3 PassageThe Truth about the French!ScriptB.Listen to the passage and choose the best answer toeach ofthe questions you will hear.Skiing in France is heaven on Earth for a dedicated skier. There are resortswhere you can access skiing terrain that is larger than all the ski resorts in Utah*and Colorado* combined.The larger resorts have an adequate number of restaurants and discos. It is agood idea to eat a good lunch because the mountain restaurants are normallymuch better than the restaurants in the ski stations.French resorts are mostly government owned and operated. The social systemputs a high percentage of money back into the areas. This provides stateoftheart*lifts, snow making and snow grooming. In general, an intermediate skier whocan read a lift map will easily be able to ski all day avoiding lift lines and crowds,even during the busiest season.The French school systems have a staggered* twoweek winter vacation period.When the snow is good,nearly all of France migrates to the mountains for thisperiod. The break usually covers the last two weeks of February and the first weekof March. The time to absolutely avoid is the “Paris school holiday week” whichwill always be in the middle period of the vacation time but alternates starting thefirst or second week of the break.No one has a more undeserved* reputation about his or her character thanthe French. The French are not generally arrogant and rude. True, in largetourist centers there are unpleasant people and if you’re looking for or expectingrudeness, you may just provoke* it. Generally the French, especially in thecountryside, are as kind as you wish and you will find warmth and acceptance.The most fractious* Frenchman is easily disarmed by a little sincerity*.When greeting someone or saying goodbye, always shake hands. Don’t usea firm, pumping handshake, but a quick, slight pressure one. When you enter aroom or a shop you should greet everyone there. If you meet a person you knowvery well, use their first name and kissboth cheeks. Men don’t usually kiss unlessthey are relatives. Good topics of conversation include food, sports, hobbies andwhere you come from. Topics to avoid are prices, where items were bought, whatsomeone does for a living, income and age. Questions about personal and familylife are considered private. Expect to find the French wellinformed about thehistory, culture and politics of other countries. To gain their respect, be preparedto show some knowledge of the history and politics of France.France is generally a very safe country to visit.Pickpockets, however, are notunheard of. In large cities particularly, take precautions against theft. Alwayssecure your vehicles, leave nothing of value visible and don’t carry your wallet inyour back pocket. Beware of begging children!Questions:1. How large are the ski resorts in France?2. Why do people prefer to eat lunch at the mountain restaurants?3. How do most of the French resorts operate?4. What kind of vacation do French students usually have?5. What kind of unfair reputation do the French have?6. What is recommended when greeting someone or saying goodbye?7. What are good topics of conversation?8. What is still necessary when visiting France?C. Listen to the passage again and discuss the followingquestions.KeyA. Skiing can be divided into crosscountry skiing andalpine skiing. Crosscountryskiing is a lowimpact, aerobic activity. It is becoming increasinglypopular. It can be enjoyed even if you have a relatively low skill level. It does notrequire exorbitant lift fees, and it has a relatively low injury rate (crosscountryskiing has an injury rate about 10 times less than alpine skiing). Skiing uses moremuscles than running and is less stressful on the legs.Alpine or downhill skiing is a popular family sportshared by people of all agesand athletic abilities. It has less benefits for aerobic fitness than crosscountryskiing because activity is usually in short bursts, but it is good for strengtheningmuscles particularly those in the upper leg. Alpine skiing is also a tough sport,particularly demanding on the legs.B. 1. C 2. A 3. A 4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 8. DC.1. Because there are resorts where you can access skiingterrain that is larger thanall the ski resorts inUtah and Colorado combined.2.

You can write down some key words andphrases.There is a street called “The Strand” in Galveston, where hundreds of thousands oftourists visit today. This street was Mama’s stomping* ground as a kid. Before Mamadied, we took a streetcar around Galveston to see all the lovely, restored homes.What a great day. She knew more than the tour guide. As we sat enjoying the sights,Mama said, “Liz, do you know why my nose is a little crooked*?” (I thought, “Wheredid that come from?”) “No, Mama, you haven’t ever mentioned it,” I replied.“Well,” said mother, “one day I followed my brothers to The Strand, and a streetcarran over me. I put myself flat down between the rails and pushed my face in theground so hard that I broke my nose! It sure causeda lot of chaos*. People screamed,the police came, and Ijust crawled out, brushed myself off and went home. Theonlything I ever noticed different about me was a crooked nose.”I just looked at her noseand looked at Mama in utter disbelief!Section Four Supplementary ExercisesPart 1 PassageBabies and IntelligenceScriptA. Listen to the passage and answer the followingquestions.Some people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five orsix months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on theirfirst day of life.Research scientists at the National Institute of Child Health and Developmentnote that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a babywill smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get thebest care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is howbabies learn to connect and communicate with other humans.This ability tolearn exists in a baby even before birth.They say newborn babies can recognizeand understand sounds they heard while they were still developing inside theirmothers.The Finnish researchers used devices to measure the babies’ brain activity.The researchers played recordings of spoken sounds for up to one hour while thebabies slept.The head of the study believes that babies can learn while asleep because thepart of their brains called the cerebral cortex* remains active at night. The cortexis very important for learning. This part of the brain is not active in adults whilethey sleep.Many experts say the first years of a ch ild’s life are important for all laterdevelopment. An American study shows how mothers can strongly influencesocial development and language skills in their children. The study involved morethan 1,200 mothers and children. Researchers studied the children from the age ofone month to three years. They observed the mothers playing with their childrenfour times during this period.The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivityof the mothers. Thewomen were considered sensitive if they supported their chi ldren’s activities anddid not interfere unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and languagedevelopment when they were three years old.The children of depressed women did not do as well on tests as the children ofwomen who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed womendid poorly on tests of language skills and understanding what they hear. Thesechildren also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with otherpeople.Another study suggests that babies who are bigger at birth generally are moreintelligent later in life. It found that the intelligence of a child at seven years of ageis directly linked to his or her weight at birth. Study organizers say this is probablybecause heavier babies received more nutrition* during important periods ofbrain development before they were born.The study involved almost 3,500 children. Researchers in New York City usedtraditional tests to measure intelligence. Brothers and sisters were tested sothatthe effects of birth weight alone could be separated from the effects of diet orother considerations.The researchers found that children with higher birth weights generally didbetter on the intelligence tests.Also, the link between birth weight and intelligencelater in life was stronger for boys than for girls.B. Listen to the passage again and complete the chart. KeyA.1. Some people thought babies were able to learnthings when they were five orsix months old.2. Doctors think babies begin learning things on their first day of life.3.

Study 1Study 2Part 2 VideoHaiti Amputee Soccer TeamScriptWatch the video film and answer the questions.In Haiti there is a soccer team unlike any you have ever seen. It is made up ofplayers who have lost legs and arms, mostly during the earthquake in . Just asthe players are different, so is their field, called a “pitch”.People live near it. There arepools of water on it. And cows walk by. The players kick with the same leg they standon.Goalies defend with the only arm they have. The team is called Zaryen. Thatis Creole for “tarantula’ —a spider that can live without one of its legs. A balconycollapsed on Judithe Facile during the earthquake. She was near death. Soccer hasbrought her back to life.“Now I feel like I’m alive. Because, before that, after I lost my leg, I didn’t have anyhope for the future, even though I wa s walking on the crutches.”Cedieu Fortilus says the players have changed the way Haitians think about thedisabled.“When I see they are playing like that, I’m so proud. I’m so proud. I think I’m doinga good job. So, I see so many people, even Haitian, if they are crossing the street, theytake time to look at them because they are doing something very strange. Somethingmany Haitians have never seen in their life.”Several organizations in the United States give money to the team, and pay forartificial arms and legs for all Haitians who need them.Cindy Orange says: “Soccer has taught me to do a lot of things on one leg that Iwasn’t used to doing before.。

In September, satellite pictures showed more than 20000 fires burning in the Amazon. Experts say most of these fires were set by farmers. The farmers were attempting to clear land to grow crops. The World Wildlife Fund says another serious problem is that too many trees in the Amazon rain forest are being cut down. The World Wildlife Fund says the fires show the need for urgent international action to protect the world's rain forests. The group warns that without such action some forests could be lost forever.2. Environmental issues swell to the full in Berlin this week, for the UN spongsored conference on global warming and climate change is the first such meeting since the Rio summit three years ago. With scientists and governments now generally ready to accept that the earth climate is being affected by emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, over a hundred countries are sending delegations. But how much progress has been made implementing the greenhouse gas reduction target agreed on at Rio? Simon Dary reports...Part II The Earth at risk (I)A.I (Interviewer): Brian Cowles is the producer of a new series of documentaries called "The Earth at Risk" which can be seen on Channel 4 later this month. Each program deals with a different continent, doesn't it, Brian?B (Brian Cowles): That's right. We went to America, both North and South and then we went over to Africa and South-East Asia.I: And what did you find in each of these continents?B: Starting with Africa, our film shows the impact of the population on the environment. Generally speaking, this has caused the Sahara Desert to expand. It's a bit of a vicious circle we find. People cut down trees for firewood and their domestic animals eat all the available plants — and so consequently they have to move south as the Sahara Desert expands further south.I mean, soon the whole of Mali will become a desert. And in East Africa: here the grasslands are supporting too many animals and the result is, of course, there's no grass — nothing for the animals to eat.。

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.

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.
