大学英语六级听力MP3(含lrc字幕),第1期

大学英语六级听力MP3(含lrc字幕),第1期篇一：2015年12月大学英语六级考试听力备考建议 2015年12月大学英语六级考试听力备考建议六级考试听力部分占到总分数的35%，分为听力对话(占15%)、短文听力(10%)和单词及词组听写(10%)三部分。一、学生听力差主要有几方面的原因：第一、词汇量不够第二、语音不过关第三、泛听多、精听少第四、不适应听力的语境第五、对文化背景和常用短语不熟悉英文口语中有很多口语化的词汇是英语课本中没见过的，但是在听力中经常出现，这就要求你要积极一点，多积累一些，最起码应该把历年真题中出现的口语化语言积累起来，方便记忆。建议你在学习词汇时要边听边记，开始认识词汇时就要把发音把握好，同时在做听力练习时，尤其在精听时要仔细听一下每个单词的发音，体会一下英美发音的不同。二、备考听力的三点建议： 1、每天40分钟专攻听力听力能力的提高是个潜移默化的过程，“三分练，七分养”。因此，在准备六级听力的过程中，最重要的是保证每天都有听英语。建议每天抽出40分钟时间专攻听力，新闻，综艺节目，有声读物或者电影等，但是你一定要集中注意力，沉浸在英文环境中。 2、加强听写的锻炼听写是提高听力的有效途径。建议找一些标准英语的听力材料，推荐英音版《新概念》第二册或第三册，这套教材的听力部分语速适中，发音清晰准确，语法严谨，非常适合用来提高听力。请务必要精听，保证每个词都听清楚，都可以写出来。这样坚持一段时间，效果是惊人的。作为调节，也可以看一些英文原声电影或电视剧，初期，可以是中英文字幕都有，反复看，中英文交替看，直到看明白为止。渐渐只看英文字幕到没有中英文字幕，也能听出个大概意思来，写出影视剧的台词来。 3、通过历年真题练习听力真题仍旧是最为重要的练习材料。建议将历年的真题反复听，仔细听，连续听至少三轮，将没听清楚，不能确定，没及时反应出来的地方标出来反复听，对照参考答案认真分析。将听力中的短对话研究一下，认真把短对话默写一遍，如果你能认真做，并把短对话能默写出来，你的听力水平已经上了很大一个台阶。有时间的还可以背诵听力材料，对培养语感和记忆听力中的口语也有好处。篇二：论坛里的资料下载方式主要分为两种论坛里的资料下载方式主要分为两种。一为附件上传（多为压缩包、word文档和mp3），直接注册登录然后右击“另存为”，不要使用迅雷等下载工具（论坛资料全部免费，不需要积分），二为FTP上传，需要使用迅雷等下载工具，右击选择“使用迅雷下载”，可能因为下载的人比较多，需要多试多等。 1）word和PDF格式的资料都可以打印，PDF文档需要用PDF阅读器阅读，请点击：阅读器补充：解压之后，双击SumatraPDFPortable.exe，然后将你要打开的PDF文件拖入就可以阅读。 2）若附件形式的压缩包文件名为*.part1, *.part2，这就是分卷压缩，全部下载后，大家解压part1这个文件就可以。因为下载的人比较多，连接需要时间，大家稍等下就可以连接上。 2011年6月英语六级考试的预测卷等资料会在这里不断更新英语四六级口语考试2011年5月报名通知（考试日期5月28、29日）版主建议：如何准备2011年6月大学英语六级考试【大家首发】淘金高阶2011年6月六级巅峰训练之中译英【大家首发】淘金高阶2011年6月六级巅峰训练之完型填空【大家首发】淘金高阶2011年6月六级巅峰训练之写作【大家首发】淘金高阶2011年6月六级巅峰训练之篇章阅读理解【大家首发】淘金高阶2011年6月六级巅峰训练之短句问答淘金高阶2011年6月6级巅峰训练之听力理解电子书及mp3下载【大家首发】淘金高阶2011年6月六级巅峰训练之快速阅读理解最新六级考试标准分换算表【真题及模拟新书】新东方大学英语六级考试:全真预测试卷(备战2011年6月6级考试)第二套完整版新东方大学英语六级考试:全真预测试卷(备战2011年6月6级考试)第一套完整版历年大学英语六级真题试卷word+答案+听力原文+MP3（1990-2010.6）星火2011年大学英语六级冲刺试卷二（含听力及解析）完整版星火2011年大学英语六级冲刺试卷一（含听力及解析）完整版星火2011年大学英语六级冲刺试卷三（含听力及解析）完整版星火2011年英语六级听力高分突破-5套模拟文本及mp3下载【词汇新书】浙江大学出版社2010版《710分新题型大学英语六级考试词汇点详注》电子书下载人大四六级考前系列2010版《我的谐音联想记忆法六级词汇》电子书下载【大家网首发】《2011版长喜英语六级词汇串联记忆》电子书及mp3下载星火2010版《大学英语核心词汇30天突破--六级》电子书下载北京语言大学出版社2010版《新东方大学英语6级考试:核心高频词汇突破》电子书 2010版《大学英语四六级词汇重点突破》电子版世界图书出版公司《篇章记忆21篇魔术美文串记大学英语6级词汇》电子版【阅读新书】【写作翻译完形新书】西安交通大学出版社2010版《英语六级综合技能改错完形翻译20天冲关快训》电子书上海交通大学出版社2010版《大学英语6级完形改错周周练》电子书下载西安交通大学出版社2010版《全新大学英语四六级考试写作标准范文100篇》电子版【其他新书】北京大学出版社2009版《大学英语6级考试强化训练710分》电子书下载经验：【活动】七嘴八舌之我的六级之路（2010年12月查分后）英语六级考试流程及考生注意事项【王长喜】2010年12月考前模考大礼——三套考前最新命制试卷word+mp3 《新东方2010年12月六级考试全真预测试卷》需要打包下载的筒子请跟帖~(已更新文件) 【大家网首发】2010年12月星火六级预测作文18篇下载 2010年08月《星火英语六级考试模拟试卷》(听力+名师讲座音频+高频词汇音频含字幕)下载【大家网首发】2010版大学英语六级算分器(710分)网络首度公开 2010最新六级答题卡分享下载~~ 2009-2010年六级新书大家论坛首发-- 星火系列：【大家网首发】2010版星火六级2000高频词汇必备文本及MP3含字幕下载星火2010年12月英语六级5套听力模拟卷电子书及MP3含字幕下载【大家网首发】《星火英语6级点评历年真题(2010.6-2006.12)(2010.12》 [大家网首发]2010版星火《大学英语6级考试完形改错翻译语法》电子书下载【大家网首发】《星火2010年12月英语新题型大学英语6级考试一本全》完整版星火2009版《读题源文章记六级词汇》PDF电子书下载星火《大学英语6级词汇:词根+联想+图解记忆法(分频版)(2010下)》PDF电子书下载星火2009版《读题源文章记六级词汇》PDF电子书下载星火《新要求大学英语6级词汇周计划(2010下》PDF电子书下载大学六级英语词汇星火式巧记速记精1-6级 pdf 下载新东方系列：新东方宋平明《六级英语真题诵典:长难句+常考词汇》2009版PDF下载宋平明《大学英语6级美文晨读100篇》2009版PDF下载【大家网首发】《新东方2010年12月大学英语六级考试全真预测试卷10套》（含MP3）汇总【大家网首发】新东方内部培训资料2010年12月六级全真预测试卷复习资料及词汇【大家网首发】2010版《新东方六级词汇词根+联想记忆法(乱序版)》电子书+MP3 王长喜系列：各家六级最新辅导书：陈新仁：[2010]谁还在背单词大学英语六级词汇第2版【大家网首发】优蛋下载 115网盘优蛋下载器《攻克六级710分:词汇完型填空及翻译(最新版)》2009版PDF下载王迈迈《最新大学英语六级考试词汇必备2000例详解》PDF电子书下载新东方《大学英语六级听力特训》电子书下载星火《大学英语6级考试听力周计划(2010下)》MP3(含字幕)下载吉林大学出版社《大学英语新题型巅峰突破6级全程攻略》电子书下载【决战2010年12月六级】大学英语六级考试押题试卷（含答案）打包下载(2003word可打开) 《六级词汇巧战一本通》PDF下载【大家网首发】陈新仁《谁还在背单词大学英语六级词汇》第2版[2010] 《超级蜘蛛网记:6级单词》PDF下载《大学英语新六级阅读周计划》 PDF电子书下载《大学英语新六级写作周计划》 PDF电子书下载《如鱼得水记单词_六级词汇篇章记忆》电子版下载【大家网首发】史上最牛词根书《Words图解词根、词源10000单词速记(上册)》【大家网首发】史上最牛词根书《Words图解词根、词源10000单词速记(下册)》真题与模拟：历年大学英语六级真题试卷word+答案+听力原文+MP3（1990-2010.6）【大家网首发】《星火英语6级点评历年真题(2010.6-2006.12)(2010.12》【大家网首发】《新东方2010年12月大学英语六级考试全真预测试卷10套》（含MP3）汇总【大家网首发】新东方内部培训资料2010年12月六级全真预测试卷复习资料及词汇【大家网首发】2010版星火英语六级听力突破5套模拟题文本及MP3(含字幕)下载综合： [大家网首发]2010 版王长喜《大学英语6级考试巅峰训练(第10版)》电子书及MP3 【大家网首发】《星火2010年12月英语新题型大学英语6级考试一本全》完整版江涛2006年版《六级英语晨读经典100篇》MP3+PDF下载阎丽华2008年版《星火晨读英语美文100篇六级第三版》word+mp3下载星火六级晨读英语美文100篇之8篇精美有声电子书下载新东方大学英语六级四十天突破：讲义与笔记六级考试终极答题技巧 2010年12月英语六级完型填空解题方法及复习策略六级词汇：《星火英语新要求大学英语6级词汇周计划(2010下》PDF电子书下载《如鱼得水记单词_六级词汇篇章记忆》电子版下载【大家网首发】2010版《新东方六级词汇词根+联想记忆法(乱序版)》电子书+MP3 【大家网首发】史上最牛词根书《Words图解词根、词源10000单词速记(下册)》【大家网首发】史上最牛词根书《Words图解词根、词源10000单词速记(上册)》胡敏练口语记单词大学英语六级(CET-6)词汇(mp3+文本)含音标大纲全部词汇：权威解释+科学记忆+形似总结（excel版）六级必考词500！（真的很有用，我做阅读理解时很多陌生词都在里面）张亚哲六级词汇笔记美化打印版英语六级核心词汇完美版英语四六级历年真题词汇汇编(word版) 六级作文：【大家网首发】马晓燕《大学英语六级考试精品范文100篇》完整版《大学英语四、六级考试作文范文精品》电子书下载星火六级晨读精品电子杂志（有声书）英语六级作文万能句型新东方六级写作_内部资料六级听力： 2010年版星火《大学英语六级考试听力直通249分》mp3含字幕下载王长喜2008.12六级加赠5套标准听力（全书+音频）全套命题改革与预测试卷08.12六级标准预测试卷全套MP3（上海交大）全套已发布

M: I’m looking for an unfurnished two-bedroom apartment, but all your apartments are furnished.W: We can take care of that. We can simply remove the furniture.Q: What does the woman mean?2. W: I don’t agree with Mr. Johnson on his views about social welfare. He seems to suggest that the poor are robbing the rich.M: He might have used better words to express his idea. But I’ve found what he said makes a lot of sense.Q: What does the man mean?3.W: I’ve been studying all the time, but I still can’t see any improvement in my grades.M: Maybe instead of studying in your dorm, you’d better go some place where there are fewer distractions.Q: What does the man advise the woman to do?4. W: The seminar originally scheduled for today has been cancelled. The hours I’ve spent preparing for it are totally wasted.M: Not really. As far as I know it’s been postponed till next week.Q: What does the man say about the seminar?5. M: Hi, Janet, I hear you’ve just returned from a tour of Australia. Did you get a chance to visit the Sydney Opera House?W: Of course I did. It would be a shame for anyone visiting Australia not to see this unique creation in architecture. Its magnificent beauty is simply beyond description.Q: What do we learn from this conversation?6. M: Sherry, how are you doing with your thesis?W: Oh my thesis. That’s something I definitely don’t want to talk about right now. I finished my draft some time ago. But my supervisor said I should do more research if I want to achieve the quality that he expects of me.Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the woman’s thesis?7. W: I can’t believe Karen is late for such an importance occasion as a job interview. I reminded her time and again yesterday.M: You should have known her better by now. Everything you tell her goes in one ear and out the other.Q: What does the man imply?8. W: Hi, Joe, I wonder if you could do me a favor and tell the professor I’ve lost my voice. So I can’t attend this morning’s class. I need time to study for tomorrow’s exam.M: I don’t think it’s wise to say so. Since you’re not going to give the lecture, you might as well simply skip the class and apologize to the professor later.Q: What will the woman probably do?9. M: After high school, I’d like to go to college and major in business administration. I really like power and enjoy telling people what to do.W: You’re very ambitious. But I’d rather spend my college days finding out what children are interested in. Child’s psychology is for me.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?10. M: It seems the restaurants here have little business these days.W: That’s true. But ours is a scenic resort. And this is not the busy season. When summer comes, you’ll see armies of tourists waiting in line in order to get a seat.Q: What do we learn from the conversation about the restaurants in the town?Section BPassage OneBoth John and Sue joined the staff of a successful public relations firm in New York during the same year. They had just completed their PR degrees at a nearby university and were thrilled to be hired by one of the finest PR firms in the city. John’s first assignment was to create a promotion campaign for a client who was putting a new game on the market. Initially Sue was assigned to work with a sportswear company on a marketing concept for its newest line of clothing. As time passed and work with their respective first clients became more and more difficult, John and Sue realized that they had been assigned two of the toughest clients in town. Although John completed his assignments quickly and successfully, he was furious when he learned that the boss had deliberately assigned him a difficult client. In response he not only complained to his colleagues but also to the boss’s secretary. Sue, on the other hand, had a more difficult time satisfying her first client and she took several additional months to actually complete the assignment. However, she just laughed when she heard that the boss had made the assignment purposely. Over the next two years, John worked reluctantly with each assignment and problem that he encountered. Sue accepted each assignment cheerfully. And when problems arose, she responded with her characteristic “No problem, I can handle it.” Although Sue took longer tocomplete her projects than John and both were equally successful on the assignments they completed, Sue was given the first promotion when there came a vacancy.11. What’s the relationship between John and Sue now?12. Why was John was furious after he finished his first assignment?13. What’s Sue’s attitude to difficult tasks?14. How does the story end?Passage TwoAmerican visitors to Eastern Asia are often surprised and puzzled by how Asian cultures and customs differ from those in the United States. What’s considered typical or proper social conduct in one country may be regard as odd, improper or even rude in the other. For example, people from some Eastern Asian countries may begin a conversation with a stranger by asking personal questions about family, home or work. Such questions are thought to be friendly, whereas they might be considered offensive in the United States. On the other hand, people in most Asian cultures are far more guarded about expressing their feelings publicly than most Americans are. Openly displaying annoyance or anger, yelling, arguing loudly and so forth is considered ill-mannered in countries such as Japan. Many Eastern Asians prefer to hold their emotions in check and instead express themselves with great politeness. They try not to be blunt and avoid making direct criticisms. In fact, they often keep their differences of opinion to themselves and merely smile and remain silent rather than engage in a confrontation. By comparison, Americans are often frank about displaying both positive and negative emotions on the street and in other public places. Americans visiting Asia should keep in mind that suchbehavior may cause offense. A major difference between Americans culture and most Asian cultures is that in Asia, the community is more important than the individual. Most Americans are considered a success when they make a name for themselves.15. How would some Asians start their conversation when they meet for the first time?16. What would a Japanese do when he feels annoyed?17. What is encouraged in American culture according to the passage?Passage ThreeIn order for a chemical to be considered a drug, it must have the capacity to affect how the body works. No substance that has the power to do this is completely safe. Drugs are only approved after tests have demonstrated that they are relatively safe when used as directed and when their benefits outweigh their risks. Thus some very dangerous drugs are approved because they are necessary to treat serious illnesses. Many people suffer ill effects from drugs called side effects, even though they take the drug exactly as directed. The human population contains a great variety of genetic variation, but drugs are tested on just a few thousand people. When a particular drug is taken by millions, some people may not respond in a predictable way, even though the drug has been tested. A patient may also acquire a tolerance for a certain drug, which means the patient has to take ever larger doses to produce the desired effect. Tolerance may lead to habituation, in which the person becomes so dependent on the drug that he or she becomes addicted to it. Addition causes severe psychological and physical disturbances when the drug is taken away. Finally, drugs often have unwanted side effects. Thisusually causes only minor discomfort, such as a skin rash, headache or sleepiness. Certain drugs, however, can produce serious adverse reactions.18. Under what circumstances are drugs approved?19. Why do many people suffer side effects from a drug even though they take it as directed?20. What will happen when patients acquire a tolerance for a certain drug?。

(D)Section CGeorge Herbert Mead said that humans are talked into humanity. He meant that we gain personal identity as we communicate with others. In the earliest years of our lives, our parents tell us who we are. "You're (36)intelligent." "You're so strong." We first see ourselves through the eyes of others, so their messages form important (37)foundations of our self-concepts. Later we interact with teachers, friends, (38)romantic partners, and co-workers who communicate their views of us.Thus, how we see ourselves (39)reflects the views of us that others communicate.The (40)profound connection between identity and communication is (41)dramatically evident in children who are (42)deprived of human contact. Case studies of children who were isolated from others reveal that they lack a firm self-concept, and their mental and psychological development is severely (43)hindered by lack of language.Communication with others not only affects our sense of identity but also directly influences our physical and emotional well-being. Consistently, (44)research shows that communicating with others promotes health, whereas social isolation is linked to stress,disease,and early death. People who lack close friends have greater levels of anxiety and depression than people who are close to others. (45)A group of reseachers reviewed scores of studies that traced the relationship between health and interaction with others. The conclusion was that social isolation is statistically as dangerous as high blood pressure, smoking and obesity. Many doctors and researchers believe that (46)loneliness harms the immune system, making us more vulnerable to a range of minor and major illnesses.听力原文11. M: Oh, I‟m so sorry I forgot to bring along the book you borrowed from the library.W: What a terrible memory you have! Anyway, I won‟t need it until Friday night. As long as I can get it by then, OK?Q: What do we learn from this conversation?12. W: Doctor, I haven‟t been able to get enough sleep lately, and I‟m too tired to concentrate inclass.M: Well, you know, spending too much time indoors with all that artificial lighting can do that to you. Your body loses track of whether it‟s day or ni ght.Q: What does the man imply?13. M: I think I‟ll get one of those new T-shirts, you know, with the school‟s logo on both the frontand back.W:You‟ll regret it. They are expensive, and I‟ve heard the printing fades easily when you wash them.Q: What does the woman mean?14. W: I think your article in the school newspaper is right on target, and your viewpoints havecertainly convinced me.M: Thanks, but in view of the general responses, you and I are definitely in the minority.Q: What does the man mean?15. M: Daisy was furious yesterday because I lost her notebook. Should I go see her andapologize to again?W: Well, if I were you, I‟d let her cool off a few days before I approach her.Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?16. M: Would you please tell me where I can get batteries for this brand of camera?W: Let me have a look. Oh, yes, go down this aisle, pass the garden tools, you‟ll find them on the shelf next to the light bulbs.Q: What is the man looking for?17. M: Our basketball team i s playing in the finals but I don‟t have a ticket. I guess I‟ll just watchit on TV. Do you want to come over?W: Actually I have a ticket. But I‟m not feeling well. You can have it for what it cost me.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?18. M: Ho ney, I‟ll be going straight to the theatre from work this evening. Could you bring mysuit and tie along?W: Sure, it‟s the first performance of the State Symphony Orchestra in our city, so suit and tie is a must.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?Long ConversationsConversation 1M: I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic, and the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy.W: So you are not sure which to go for?M: That‟s it. Of course, the conditions of wo rk are very different: The Polytechnic is offering two-year contract which could be renewed, but the language school is only offering a year‟s contract, and that‟s a different minus. It could be renewed, but you never know.W: I see. So it‟s much less secure. But you don‟t need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23.M: That‟s true.W: What about the salaries?M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. I‟ll be getting the equivalent of about ￡22,000 a year there, but only ￡20,000 at the Polytechnic. But then the hours are different.At the Polytechnic I‟d have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration, whereas the Pistoia school is only asking for 30 hours teaching.W: Mmm…M: Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories, and a couple of children‟s classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching.W: Well, that sounds much more varied and interesting. And I‟d imagine you would be doing quire a lot of teaching outside the school, and moving around quite a bit.M: Yes, whereas with the Polytechnic position, I‟d be stuck in the school all day.Q19. What do we learn about the man from the conversation?Q20. What do we learn about the students at the Polytechnic?Q21. What does the woman think of the job at the Language school?Conversation 2Good evening and welcome to tonight's edition of Legendary Lives. Our subject this evening is James Dean, actor and hero for the young people of his time. Edward Murray is the author of a new biography of Dean.W: Good evening, Edward.M: Hello Tina.W: Edward, tell us what you know about Dean's early life.M: He was born in Indiana in 1931, but his parents moved to California when he was five. He wasn't there long though because his mother passed away just four years later. Jimmy's father sent him back to Indiana after that to live with his aunt.W: So how did he get into acting?M: Well, first he acted in plays at high school, then he went to college in California where he got seriously into acting. In 1951 he moved to New York to do more stage acting.W: Then when did his movie career really start?M: 1955. His first starring role was in East of Eden. It was fabulous. Dean became a huge success.But the movie that really made him famous was his second one, Rebel Without a Cause, that was about teenagers who felt like they didn't fit into society.W: So how many more movies did he make?M: Just one more, then he died in that car crash in California in 1955.W: What a tragedy! He only made three movies! So what made him the legend he still is today? M: Well I guess his looks, his acting ability, his short life, and maybe the type of character he played in his movies. Many young people saw him as a symbol of American youths.Q22 What is the woman doing?Q23 Why did James Dean move back to Indiana when he was young?Q24 What does the man say James Dean did at college in California?Section BPassage 1The time is 9 o‟clock and this is Marian Snow with the news.The German authorities are sending investigators to discover the cause of the plane crash late yesterday on the island of Tenerife. The plane, a Boeing 737, taking German holiday makers to the island crashed into a hillside as it circled while preparing to land. The plane was carrying 180 passengers. It‟s thought there are no survivors. Rescue workers were at the scene.The British industrialist James Louis, held by kidnapper in central Africa for the past 8 months, was released unharmed yesterday. The kidnappers had been demanding 1 million pounds for the release of Mr. Louis. The London Bank and their agents who had been negotiating with the kidnappers have not said whether any amount of money has been paid.The 500 UK motors workers who had been on strike in High Town for the past 3 three weeks went back to work this morning. This follows successful talks between management and union representatives, which resulted in a new agreement on working hour and conditions. A spokesman for the management said they‟d hope they could now get back to producing cars, and that they lost lots of money and orders over this dispute.And finally the weather. After a code start, most of the country should be warm and sunny. But towards late afternoon, rain will spread from Scotland to cover most parts by midnight.26 What does the news say about the Boeing 737 plane?27 What happened to British industrialist James Louis?28 How did the 3-week strike in High Town end?29 What kind of weather will be expected by midnight in most parts of the country?Passage 2Juan Louis, a junior geology major, decided to give an informative speech about how earthquakes occur. From his audience and analysis he learned that only 2 or 3 of his classmates knew much of anything about geology. Juan realized then that he must present his speech at an elementary level and with a minimum of scientific language. As he prepared the speech, Juan kept asking himself, “How can I make this clear and meaningful to someone who knows nothing about earthquakes or geological principles?” Since he was speaking in the Midwest, he decided to begin by not ing that the most severe earthquake in American history took place not in California or Alaska but at New Madrid, Missouri in 1811. If such an earthquake happened today, it would be felt from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean and would flatten most of the cities in the Mississippi valley. That, he figured, should get his classmates‟ attention. Throughout the body of the speech, Juan dealt only with the basic mechanics of the earthquakes, carefully avoid technical terms. He also prepared visual aids, diagramming photo line, so his classmates wouldn‟t get confused. To be absolutely safe, Juan asked his roommate, who was not a geology major, to listen to the speech. “Stop me,” he said, “any time I say something you don‟t understand.” Juan‟s roommate sto pped him four times. And at each spot, Juan worked out a way to make his point more clearly. Finally, he had a speech that was interesting and perfectly understandable to his audience.Q30 What did Juan Louis learn from the analysis of his audience?Q31 How did Juan Louis start his speech?Q32 What did Juan ask his roommate to do when he was making his trial speech?Passage 3Esperanto is an artificial language, designed to serve internationally as an auxiliary means of communication among speakers of different languages. It was created by Ludwig Lazar Zamenhof, a polish Jewish doctor specialized in eye diseases. Esperanto was first presented in 1887. An international movement was launched to promote its use. Despite arguments and disagreements, the movement has continued to flourish and has members in more than 80 countries. Esperanto is used internationally across language boundaries by at least 1 million people, particularly in specialized fields. It is used in personal contexts, on radio broadcasts and in a number of Its popularity has spread form Europe, both east and west, to such countries as Brazil and Japan. It is, however, in China that Esperanto has had its greatest impact. It is taught in universities and used in many translations, often in scientific or technological works. EL POPOLA CHINIO, whichmeans from people‟s China, it‟s a monthly magazine in Esperanto and it‟s read worldwide. Radio Beijing‟s Esperanto program is the most popular program in Esperanto in the world. Esperanto vocabulary is d rawn primarily from Latin, the Roman‟s languages, English and German. Spelling is completely regular. A simple and consistent set of endings indicates grammatical functions of words. Thus for example, every noun ends in “o”, every adjective in “a”, and bas ic form of every verb in “i”. Esperanto also has a highly productive system of constructing new words from old ones.Q33 What does the speaker tell us about Esperanto?Q34 What is said about the international movement to promote the use of Esperanto?Q35 What does the speaker say about Esperanto in China?2010年12月英语六级听力试题Part I Listening ComprehensionSection A11.

2018年12月英语六级听力真题原文及答案

2018年12月英语六级听力真题原文及答案Conversation 1A: Hey I just read a great book about physics. I think you’d like it. It’s called the physics of the world. It‘s written by a scientist named Sylvia Mendez.B: Oh I read that book. It was great. The writer is a warm and competent guide to the mysteries of physics. I think it promises enrichment for any reader from those who know little about science to the career physicist.A: And it‘s refreshing to see a strong curious clever woman adding her voice to the scientific discourse and a field that has been traditionally dominated by men. I think she has to be commended for making an effort to include anecdotes about little known female scientists. You know they were often victims of a generation firmly convinced that the woman’s place was in the home.B: I like how the book is clearly written with each chapter brought to life by pieces of fascinating knowledge. For example in one chapter she exposes a myth that I‘ve heard taught by university physics professors. I’ve often heard that medieval glass windows are thicker at the bottom because glass flowslike a fluid. This, she shows, is not true. The distortion is actually thanks to a peculiarity of the glassmakers process.A: Yeah I like how she cultivates scientific engagement by providing a host of Do It Yourself experiments that bring the same foundational principles of classical physics that govern everything from the solar system to your kitchen table. From using complex laws of physics to test whether a spinning egg is cooked to measuring atmospheric pressure by lifting a piece of cardboard. Her hands-on examples make her book a truly interactive read.B: Yes, I must say this, a equation-free book is an ideal read for scientists of all stripes, anyone teaching science and even people who dislike physics.Question 1:What does the woman say about the book the man recommended?Question 2: What can we find in the book the man recommended?Question 3:How does the author bring her book to life? Question 4: How does the book cultivate readers interest in physics.Conversation 2A:Hi professor. I was hoping I could have a moment of your time if you‘re not too busy. I’m having some problems getting started on my dissertation and I was hoping you could give me some advice on how to begin.B:Sure. I have quite a few students though.So can you remind me what your topic is?A:The general topic I chose is aesthetics, but that‘s as far as I’ve got I don‘t really know where to go from there.B:Yeah, that‘s much too large a topic. You really need to narrow it down in order to make it more accessible. Otherwise you’ll be writing a book.A:Exactly. That‘s what I wanted to ask you about. I was hoping it would be possible for me to change topics. I’m really more interested in nature than beauty.B:I‘m afraid you have to adhere to the assigned topic. Still, If you’re interested in nature, then that certainly can be worked into your dissertation. We‘ve talked about Hume before in class right.A:Oh yeah, he‘s the philosopher who wrote about where our ideas of beauty come from.B:Exactly. I suggest you go to the library and get a copy of his biography. Start from there. But remember to stick to the parameters of the assignment. This paper is a large part of your cumulative grade. So make sure to follow the instructions. If you take a look at his biography. You can get a good idea of how his life experiences manifest themselves in his theories of beauty, specifically the way he looked towards nature as the origin of what we find beautiful.A:Great. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, Professor. I‘ll let you get back to class now.B:If there‘s anything else you need, please come see me in my office any time.Question 5: What is the man‘s problem?Question 6: What does the professor think of the man‘s topic? Question 7: What’s the man really more interested in? Question 8: What does the professor say the man has to do? Passage 1During the arctic winter from October to March, the average temperature in the frozen north typically hovers around minus 20 degrees Celsius. But this year the Arctic is experiencing much higher temperatures. On February the 20th the temperature inGreenland climbed above freezing or zero degrees Celsius and it stayed there for over 24 hours. Then on February the 24th the temperature on Greenland‘s northern tip reached six degrees Celsius. Climate scientists describe the phenomenon as stunning. Weather conditions that drive this bizarre temperature surge have visited the Arctic before. They typically appear about once in a decade. However, the last such increase in temperature took place two years ago. This is troubling as climbing arctic temperatures combined with rapid sea ice loss are creating a new type of climate feedback loop which could accelerate Arctic warming. Indeed, sea ice cover in the Arctic is melting faster than expected. Without those masses of cooling sea ice, warm air brought to the Arctic can penetrate further inland than it ever did before. The air can stay warmer longer too. This drives additional melting. Overall earth is warming at a rapid pace. 2014 through 2017 rank as the hottest years on record and the Arctic is warming twice as fast as any place else on earth. This raises unique challenges for Arctic wildlife and indigenous people who depend on Arctic ecosystems to survive. Previously climate forecasts predicted that Arctic summer ice would disappear entirely by around 2060, but based on whatscientists are seeing now the Arctic may be facing summers without ice within 20 years.Question 9: What did climate scientists describe as stunning? Question 10: What does the passage say about that temperature surge in the Arctic?Question 11: What may occur in 20 years according to scientists’recent observations?Passage 2A good dose of willpower is often necessary to see any task through whether it‘s sticking to a spending plan or finishing a great novel. And if you want to increase that willpower. A new study suggests you just simply have to believe you have it. According to this study, what matters most is what we think about our willpower. If we believe it’s a finite resource, we act that way, we feel exhausted and need breaks between demanding mental tasks. However, people who view their willpower as a limitless resource get energized instead. The researchers used a psychological assessment tool to test the validity of the study. They asked 1100 Americans and 1600 Europeans to grade different statements such as after a challenging mental activity, my energy is depleted and I mustrest to get it refueled again or I can focus on a mental task for long periods without feeling tired.Although there was little difference between men and women overall. Americans were more likely to admit to needing breaks after completing mentally challenging tasks European participants on the other hand claimed they were able to keep going. Based on the findings, the researchers suggest that the key to boosting your willpower is to believe that you have an abundant supply of it. Your feelings about your willpower affect the way you behave. But these feelings are changeable, they said. Changing your beliefs about the nature of your self-control can have positive effects on character development. This leads to healthier behaviors and perceptions of other people.Question 12: What is often necessary for carrying through a task?Question 13: What is the finding of the new study?Question 14: What do we learn about European participants as compared with their American counterparts?Question 15: What do the research say concerning people‘s feelings about willpower?Lecture 1Here is my baby niece Sarah. Her mum is a doctor and her dad is a lawyer. By the time Sarah goes to college the jobs her parents do are going to look dramatically different. In 2013, researchers at Oxford University did a study on the future of work.They concluded that almost one in every two jobs has a high risk of being automated by machines. Machine learning is the technology that‘s responsible for most of this disruption. It’s the most powerful branch of artificial intelligence. It allows machines to learn from data and copy some of the things that humans can do. My company, Kaggle, operates on the cutting edge of machine learning. We bring together hundreds of thousands of experts to solve important problems for industry and academia. This gives us an unique perspective on what machines can do, what they can‘t do and what jobs they might automate or threaten. Machine learning started making its way into industry in the early 90s. It started with relatively simple tasks. It started with things like assessing credit risk from loan applications, sorting the mail by reading handwritten zip codes. Over the past few years, we have made dramatic breakthroughs. Machine learning is now capable of far, far more complex tasks. In 2012, Kaggle challenged its community to build a programthat could grade high school essays. The winning programs were able to match the grades given by human teachers. Now given the right data, machines are going to outperform humans at tasks like this. A teacher might read 10000 essays over a 40-year career. A machine can read millions of essays within minutes. We have no chance of competing against machines on frequent high-volume tasks, but there are things we can do that machines cannot. Where machines have made very little progress is in tackling novel situations. Machines can’t handle things they haven‘t seen many times before. The fundamental limitation of machine learning is that it needs to learn from large volumes of past data. But humans don’t. We have the ability to connect seemingly different threads to solve problems we‘ve never seen before.Question 16. What did the researchers at Oxford University conclude?Question 17. What do we learn about Kaggle companies winning programs?Question 18. What is the fundamental limitation on machine learning?Lecture 2we‘ve talked recently about the importance of sustainable energy. We’ve also talked about the different theories on how that can be done. So far, our discussions have all been theoretical. Now I have a practical question for you all. Can you run a 140,000 kilogram train on just the steam generated by solar power? Well, one engineer, Tim Casselman, believes it‘s possible. And his home city of Sacramento, California should see the technology’s first test as part of the upgrading of its rail yard. Casselman, who is an inventor and self-proclaimed steam visionary, is campaigning for a new steam train that runs without any fire and could run on an existing 10 kilometer line drawing tourists and perhaps offering city commuters a green alternative to their cars. Casselman wants to build an array of solar magnifying mirrors at one end of the line to collect and focus heat onto water filled tubes. This would generate steam that could be used to fill tanks on a small steam train without the use of fire. Supplying power to trains in this way would offer the shortest distance from well to wheels he says with the least amount of energy lost. According to Harry Valentijn, a Canadian engineer who is researching modern steam technology, a special tank measuring 2 by 10 metres could store over 750 kilowatt hours of energy as high pressure steam enough to pulla two car train for an hour or so. Energy to drive a steam locomotive can be stored in other materials besides water, for example, a team at Tohoku University in Japan has studied materials that can store large amounts of heat when heated. These materials turn from a solid into a liquid absorbing energy as they change phase. The liquid is maintained above its melting point until steam is required at which point the liquid is allowed to turn back into a solid releasing its stored energy. Another team at Nagoya University in Japan has tested calcium compound as an energy storage material. Heating this chemical compound drives off carbon dioxide gas, leaving calcium oxide. The gas can be stored under pressure and attain to recover the energy. The gas is fed back over the calcium oxide. In theory, says Valentijn, this can create a high enough temperature to generate superheated steam.Question 19: What has the speaker previously talked about? Question 20: What is Tim Casselman trying to do in Sacramento? Question 21: What has a Japanese research team tried to do? Lecture 3Today‘s crisis in care for older people in England has two main causes.First,people are living longer with a lot more complex needs. Second, they rely on a system that has long been marked by a poor relation between national health and social-care services. Current services originate in two key measures. They are the National Health Service and the 1948 National Assistance Act. This required local government to provide residential accommodation for older people and supervise care homes run by independent organizations.They also provided home and community services including meals, day centers and home helpers and other subsidized services. The National Health Service was free and wholly publicly provided. It delivered the best health-care for all. No such vision guided residential and community care though. The care was substantially provided by voluntary services which worked together with local authorities as they long had with eligibility based on income. Today, life expectancy has risen from 66 for a male at birth in 1948 to around 80 now. In addition, there is better overall health and improved medical knowledge and care. This means an unprecedented number of people are surviving longer in conditions requiring expert support. Families provide at least as much care as they ever did. Even so,they can rarely without subsidised support address serious personal needs. Care for older people faced persistent criticism as these trends became apparent. From the early 1960s, local authorities were required to plan health and welfare services. The aim was to enable older people to remain in their own homes for as long as possible, but this increased concern about the lack of coordination between free health and paid-for social care. Through the 1970s, a number of measures sought to improve matter. However, at a time of financial crisis, funding diminished and little changed. In the 1980s, the government cut spending. Meanwhile, preference for private over public services made management even more difficult. Simultaneously, the number of sick older people grew. Governments emphasized the need to improve services. They did so though while doing little to stop the erosion of available aid. Services were irregular across authorities. Unless you were prepared to pay, they were increasingly difficult to obtain for any but the most severely disabled. Why has 60 years of criticism produced so little change? Discrimination against older people has a long history. Additionally, those affected by inadequate health and social care are too vulnerable to launch the protests that have addressed other forms of discrimination.Question 22: What is one cause of the current crisis in care for the elderly in England?Question 23: What does the speaker say about residential and community care?Question 24: What made management of care for the elderly more difficult in the 1980s?Question 25: What does the speaker say about older people in England?【听力真题答案】1-5：ABCDD6-10 :ABCAC11-15：BCDAB16-20：ADCDA21-25：BDACB1.

For questions 1-7, choose the best answerfrom the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Forquestions 8-10, complete the sentences with theinformation given in the passage.Google's Plan for World's Biggest Online Library: PhilanthropyOr Act of Piracy?In recent years, teams of workers dispatched by Google have been working hard to make digital copies of books. So far, Google has scanned more than 10 million titles from libraries in America and Europe - including half a million volumes held by the Bodleian in Oxford. The exact method it uses is unclear; the company does not allow outsiders to observe the process.Why is Google undertaking such a venture? Why is it even interested in all those out-of-printlibrary books, most of which have been gathering dust on forgotten shelves for decades? Thecompany claims its motives are essentially public-spirited. Its overall mission, after all, is to "organise the world's information", so it would be odd if that information did not include books.The company likes to present itself as having lofty aspirations. "This really isn't about making money. We are doing this for the good of society." As Santiago de la Mora, head of Google Books for Europe, puts it: "By making it possible to search the millions of books that exist today, we hope to expand the frontiers of human knowledge."Dan Clancy, the chief architect of Google Books, does seem genuine in his conviction that thisis primarilya philanthropic (慈善旳) exercise. "Google's core business issearch and find, soobviously what helps improve Google's search engine is good for Google," he says. "But we havenever built a spreadsheet (电子数据表) outlining the financial benefits of this, and I have neverhad to justify the amount I am spending to the company's founders."It is easy, talking to Clancy and his colleagues, to be swept along by their missionary passion. But Google's book-scanning project is proving controversial. Several opponents have recently emerged, ranging from rival tech giants such as Microsoft and Amazon to small bodies representing authors and publishers across the world. In broad terms, these opponents have levelled two sets of criticisms at Google.First, they have questioned whether the primary responsibility for digitally archiving the world's books should be allowed to fall to a commercial company. In a recent essay in the New YorkReview of Books, Robert Darnton, the head of Harvard University's library, argued that because such books are a common resource – the possession of us all – only public,not-for-profit bodiesshould be given the power to control them.The second related criticism is that Google's scanning of books is actually illegal. This allegation has led to Googlebecoming mired in (陷入) a legal battle whose scope and complexity makes the Jarndyce and Jarndyce case in Charles Dickens' Bleak House look straightforward.At its centre, however, is one simple issue: that of copyright. The inconvenient fact about most books, to which Google has arguably paid insufficient attention, is that they are protected by copyright. Copyright laws differ from country to country, but in general protection extends for the duration of an author's life and for a substantial period afterwards, thus allowing the author's heirs to benefit. (In Britain and America, this post-death period is 70 years.) This means, of course, that almost all of the books published in the 20th century are still undercopyright – and the last century saw more books published than in all previous centuries combined. Of the roughly 40 million books in US libraries, for example, an estimated 32 million are in copyright. Of these, some 27 million are out of print.Outside the US, Google has made sure only to scan books that are out of copyright and thus in the "public domain" (works such as the Bodleian's first edition of Middlemarch, which anyone canread for free on Google Books Search).But, within the US, the company has scanned bothin-copyright and out-of-copyright works. Inits defence, Google points out that it displays only small segments of books that are in copyright– arguing that such displays are "fair use". But critics allege that by making electronic copies of these books without first seeking the permission of copyright holders, Google has committed piracy."The key principle of copyright law has always been that works can be copied only once authors have expressly given their permission," says Piers Blofeld, of the Sheil Land literary agency in London. "Google has reversed this – it has simply copied all these works without bothering toask."In , the Authors Guild of America, together with a group of US publishers, launched a class action suit (集团诉讼) against Google that, after more than two years of negotiation, endedwith an announcement last October that Google and the claimants had reached an out-of-courtsettlement. The full details are complicated - the text alone runs to 385pages– and trying tosummarise it is no easy task. "Part of the problem is that it is basically incomprehensible," saysBlofeld, one of the settlement's most vocal British critics.Broadly, the deal provides a mechanism for Google to compensate authors and publishers whose rights it has breached (including giving them a share of any future revenue it generates fromtheir works). In exchange for this, the rights holders agree not to sue Google in future.This settlement hands Google the power - but only with the agreement of individual rights holders – to exploit its database of out-of-print books. It can include them in subscription deals sold to libraries or sell them individually under a consumer licence. It is these commercial provisions that are proving the settlement's most controversial aspect.Critics point out that, by giving Google the right to commercially exploit its database, thesettlement paves the way for a subtle shift in the company's role from provider of information to seller. "Google's business model has always been to provide information for free, and sell advertising on the basis of the traffic this generates," points out James Grimmelmann, associate professor at New York Law School. Now, he says, because of the settlement's provisions, Google could become a significant force in bookselling.Interest in this aspect of the settlement has focused on "orphan" works, where there is noknown copyrightholder – these make up an estimated 5-10% of the books Google has scanned. Under the settlement, when no rights holders come forward and register their interest in a work, commercial control automatically reverts to Google. Google will be able to display up to 20% oforphan works for free, include them in its subscription deals to libraries and sell them to individual buyers under the consumer licence.It is by no means certain that the settlement willbe enacted (执行) – it is the subject of afairness hearing in the US courts. But if it is enacted, Google will in effect be off the hook as far as copyright violations in the US are concerned. Many people are seriously concerned by this - and the company is likely to face challenges in other courts around the world.No one knows the precise use Google will make of the intellectual property it has gained byscanning the world's library books, and the truth, as Gleick, an American science writer and member of the Authors Guild, points out, is that the company probably doesn't even know itself. But what is certain is that, in some way or other, Google's entrance into digital bookselling will have a significant impact on the book world in the years to come.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

And we can expect soon?W：the world is always conducting science and there are constantly new things being discovered. In fact,right now we have too much data sitting in computers.For example,we have thousands of photos of planet mars taken by telescopes that nobody has ever seen.We have them yet.Nobody has had time to look at them with their own eyes,let alone analyze them.Questions one to four are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question1.Why does the woman say she can be so energetic?答案：Oh,well,I just love what I do.Question2.What has the woman been engaged in?答案：The education of science and the further understanding of science.Question3.What does the woman say about the benefit teaching brings to her?答案：teaching a subject helps me comprehend it better myselfQuestion4.How does the woman say new scientific breakthroughs can be made possible?答案：to look at them with their own eyes and analyze themConversation two.对于梦的起源的探讨(摊手)M：Do you think dreams have special meanings?W：No,I don't think they do.M：Don't either.But some people do.I would say people who believe that dreams have meanings are superstitious,especially nowadays,in the past,during the times of ancient Egypt,Greece or China,people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future.But today,with all the scientific knowledge that we have,I think it's much harder to believe in these sorts of things.W：My grandmother is superstitious,and she thinks dreams can predict the future.Once she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed,can you guess what she did?She didn't take that flight.She didn't even bother to go to the airport the following day.Instead she took the same flight.But a week later,everything was fine.Of course,no plane ever crashed.M：How funny did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport?It's been statistically proven.People can be so irrational sometimes.W：Yes,absolutely.But even if we think they are ridiculous,emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.M：Exactly.People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings.But in fact, some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day.I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that children's dreams were usually simple representations of their wishes,things they wished would happen.But in adults,dreams a much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.W：Isn't it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bizarre as dreams?Psychology is like the rational study of irrational feelings.Questions five to eight are based on the conversation you have just heard.Question5.What do both speakers think of dreams?答案：they don’t have special meaningsQuestion6.Why didn't the woman's grandmother take her scheduled flight?答案：Once she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashedQuestion7.What does the woman say about people's emotions?答案：emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.Question8.What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults dreams?答案：But in adults,dreams a much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.Passage one.南极考察队对于V湖冰面下生物的探索While some scientists explore the surface of antarctica,others are learning more about a giant body of water four kilometres beneath the ice pack.Scientists first discovered lake Voss dock in the19seventy's by using radio waves that penetrate the ice.Since then,they have used sound waves and even satellites to map this massive body of water.How does the water in lake Vohs dog remain liquid beneath an ice sheet?The thick glacier above acts like an insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing,says Martin Siegert, a glaciologist from the university of Wales.In addition,geothermal heat from deep within the earth may warm the hidden lake.The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in lake vohs stock closed off from the outside world for more than2million years.Anything found there will be totally alien to what's on the surface of the earth to see a good scientists are trying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination.Again,robots might be the solution.If all goes as planned,a drill shaped robot will through the surface eyes.When it reaches the lake,it will release another robot that canswim in the lake,take pictures,and look for signs of life.The scientists hope their discoveries will shed light on life in outer space,which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions.Recently,close up pictures of jupiter,as moon europa shows signs of water beneath its icy surface. Once tested in antarctica,robots could be sent to europa to search for life there too.Questions9to11.Based on the passage you have just heard.Question9.What did scientists first use to discover lake V stock in the1970s?答案：using radio waves that penetrate the iceQuestion10.What do scientists think about lake vast dock?答案：microorganisms may be living in lake vohs stock closed off from the outside world for more than2million yearsQuestion11.What do the scientists hope their discoveries will do?答案：shed light on life in outer space,which might exist in similar dark and airless conditionsPassage two.吉姆斯对于印第安语言的记录及其科研过程和心得The idea to study the American Indian tribe torah,who Morris came to James Copeland in1984, when he discovered that very little research had been done on their language.He could did a tribe member through a social worker who worked with the tribesmen in Mexico.At first,the tribe member named gonzales was very reluctant to cooperate.He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language.But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit that are home,orris gonzales agreed to help.He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary.Copeland says,thanks to him that are who Morris understood what our mission was and started trusting us.Entering the world of that,Hamas has been a laborious project for Copeland.To reach their homeland, he must drive2.5days from Houston,Texas.He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribesmen can't easily get and gives the goods to them as a gesture of friendship that are Morris,who don't believe in accumulating wealth,take the food and share it among themselves.For Copeland,the experience has not only been academically satisfying,but also has enriched his life in several ways.I see people rejecting technology and living a very hard,traditional life,which offers me another notion about the meaning of progress in the western tradition.Hesays,I experience the simplicity of living in nature that I would otherwise only be able to read about.I see a lot of beauty in their sense of sharing and concern for each other.Questions12to15are based on the passage you have just heard.Question12.Why did James Copeland want to study the American Indian tribe torah Morris?答案：he discovered that very little research had been done on their languageQuestion13.How did gonzalez help James Copeland?答案：He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediaryQuestion14.What does the speaker say about James copeland's trip to that are humorous village?答案：don't believe in accumulating wealth,take the food and share it among themselvesQuestion15.What impresses James Copeland about that are a humorist tribe,答案：I see a lot of beauty in their sense of sharing and concern for each other.recording one.到底什么是激进?女权主义是激进嘛?What is a radical?It seems today that people are terrified of the term,particularly of having the label attached to them.Accusing individuals or groups of being radical often serves to silence them into submission,thereby maintaining the existing state of affairs,and more important, preserving the power of a select minority who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon.The women's movement has been plagued by stereotypes,misrepresentations by the media,and accusations of man hating and radicalism.When the basic foundation of feminism is simply that women deserve equal rights in all facets of life, when faced with a threat of being labeled radical women back down from their worthy cause and consequently participate in their own oppression,it has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves feminists because of the stigma attached to the word.If people refuse to be controlled and intimidated by stigma,as the stigma as lose all their power,without fear and which to feed such stigma as can only die.To me,a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm.What advocates a change in the existing state of affairs?On closer inspection,it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving and therefore is not a constant entity.So why there is deviation from the present situation?Such a threat than the state of affairs itself is unstable.And subject to relentless transformation,it all goes back to maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the rise of those who don't.In fact,when we look at the word radical in a historical context,nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radical in his or her time.Radicals are people who affect change.They are the people about whom history is written.Abolitionists were radicals.Civil rights activists were radicals, even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England or radicals. Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions,mainly by shifting the balance of power that previously existed.There are some radicals who have made a negative impact on humanity.But undeniably,there would simply be no progress without radicals.That being said, next time someone calls me a radical,I will accept that label with pride.Questions16to18are based on the recording you have just heard.Question16.What usually happens when people are accused of being radical?答案：preserving the power of a select minority who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Question17.What is the speaker's definition of a radical?答案：a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm.Question18.What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history?答案：there would simply be no progress without radicals.Recording two.人的社会性因素：不可避免的被环境影响We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us.For instance,you may have known somebody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent.Perhaps.We become part of our immediate environment.None of us are immune to the influences of our own world.And let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and the people in our life.Fred goes off to his new job at a factory.Fred takes his10minute coffee break,but the other workers take a half an hour.Fred says,what's the matter with you guys?Two weeks later,Fred is taking20minute breaks.A month later,Fred takes his half hour.Fred is saying,if you can't beat them,join them,why should I work any harder than the next guy?The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality.It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air.Only then do we realize that we have become accustomed to the nasty smells mix with critical people.And we learn to criticize mixed with happy people.And we learn about happiness.What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly.You may well say that is going to take some effort.It may not be comfortable.I may offend some of my present company.Right?But it is your life.Fred may say I'm always broke frequently depressed. I'm going nowhere and I never do anything exciting.Then we discover that friends,best friends, are always broke,frequently depressed,going nowhere and wishing that life was more exciting. This is not coincidence.Nor is it our business to stand in judgment of Fred.However,if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life,the first thing he'll need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years.It's no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of ill health because they spend their lives around sick people.Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Traditionally,nine out of tension,whose parents'smoke smoke themselves.Obesity is in part an environmental problem.Successful people have successful friends.And so the story goes on.Questions19to21are based on the recording you have just heard.Question19.What does the speaker say about us as human beings?答案：None of us are immune to the influences of our own world.Question20.What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life?答案：It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh airQuestion21.What does the speaker say about psychiatrists?答案：Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons.Recording three.美元的发展历史(这玩意有啥可说的?)Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at a mere glance.Many can identify it by its sound or texture.But few people indeed can accurately describe the world's most powerful, important currency.The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the other.The exact composition of the paper and ink is a closely guarded government secret. Despite its weighty importance,the dollar bill actually weighs little.It requires nearly500bills to tip the scales at a pound.Not only is the dollar bill lightweight,but it also has a brief lifespan.Few dollar bills survive longer.18months.The word dollar is taken from the German word,tailor the name for the world's most important currency in the16th century.The Thaler was a silver coin first minted in1518under the reign of Charles the5th,emperor of Germany.The concept of paper money is a relatively recent innovation in the history of American currency. When the constitution was signed,people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era.Because of this lack of faith,the new American government minted only coins for common currency.Interest bearing bank notes were issued at the same time. But their purpose was limited to providing money for urgent government crises,such as American involvement in the war of1812.The first non interest bearing paper currency was authorized by congress in1862.At the height of the civil war.At this point,citizens,old fears of devalued paper currency had calmed.The dollar bill was born.The new green colored paper money quickly earned the nickname greenback.Today,the American dollar bill is a product of the federal reserve and is issued from the12federal reserve banks around the United States.The government keeps a steady supply of approximately2billion bills in circulation at all times.Controversy continues to surround the true value of the dollar bill.American history has seen generations of politicians argue in favor of a gold standard for American currency.However,for the present,the American dollar bill holds the value that is printed on it and little more.The only other guarantee on the bill is a federal reserve pledge as a confirmation in the form of government securities.Questions22to25are based on the recording you have just heard.Question22.What does the speaker say about the American dollar bill?答案：The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the otherQuestion23.What does the speaker say about the exact composition of the American dollar bill?答案：a closely guarded government secret.Question24.Why did the new American government mint only coins for common currency?答案：because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era.Because of this lack of faithQuestion25.What have generations of American politicians argued for?答案：in favor of a gold standard for American currency。

technology and markets have stimulated the team approach to management. inflation, resource scarcity, reduced personnel levels and budget cuts have all underscored theneed for better coordination in organizations. teammanagement provides for this coordination. team management calls for new skills if personnel potential is to be fully realized. although a team maybe composed of knowledgeable people,they must learn new ways of relating and working together to solve cross-functional problems.when teams consist of experienced employees from hierarchical organizations, who had been conditioned totraditional organizational culture, cooperation may not occurnaturally. it may need to be created.furthermore, the issue is not just how the team can functionmore effectively, but how it integrates with the overallorganization or society it supposedly serves.a group of individuals is not automatically a team. therefore,teambuilding may be necessary in order to improve the group’s performance.casey, an expert in this filed, suggests that the cooperationprocess within teams, must be organized, promoted andmanaged. he believes that team cooperation results whenmembers go beyond their individual capabilities, beyond whateach is used to being and doing. together, the team may thenproduce something new, unique, and superior to that of anyone member. for this to happen, he suggests that themulticultural managers exhibit understandings of their own andothers’ cultural influences and limitations. they should alsocultivate such skills as toleration of ambiguity, persistence andpatience, as well as assertiveness.if a team manager exemplifies such qualities, then the teamas a whole would be better able to realize their potential andachieve their objectives.问题+答案：16. what should team members do to fully realize theirpotential?b) follow closely the fast development of technology.17. what needs to be considered for effective teammanagement?b)
