06年12月24日长对话第一篇原文：
W: Hello, Patrick, is that you?
M: Yeah Jane, what can I do for you?
W: I was calling about the apple tree that you were trimming yesterday.
M: That was hard work!
W: I’m sure it was. It sure looked difficult.
M: Yeah, I’m glad it’s finished. Hauling the branches to the front for garbage pick up was no fun 
either.
W: Well, I don’t think you’re quite finished yet, some of the larger branches fell over into my 
yard, and I think you should come and get them.
M: Listen Jane, I don’t see why I should do that. You eat all the apples that fall in your yard and 
you’ve never complained about that before.
W: Well, it’s easier to pick up apples than to drag tree branches all the way to the curb. My kids 
pick up the apples, and the branches are just too big for them to drag.
M: Well, I guess you’ll just have to do it yourself Jane.
W: Patrick, I wish you would reconsider. We’ve always gotten along fairly well, but I think you’re 
out of line here. The branches are your responsibility.
M: Sorry Jane, I disagree! You take the benefits of the apple tree, but refuse to deal with the bad 
side of it. Besides, it won’t take you any time to get the branches out front!
W: Get the branches off my property or I’ll have to sue you.
M: Yeah? For what?! You’re taking those law classes too seriously! I’ve gotta go, I have to pick 
up my son.
W: You’ll be hearing from me.
M: Yeah, yeah. See you in court Jane.

06年12月24日长对话第二篇原文
M: Did you hear about the air crash that occurred in South America recently? It was quite a tragic 
accident!
W: No, I didn’t see anything in the news about it. What happened?
M: A foreign airliner was attempting to land at night in a mountainous area in Argentina and flew 
into a hill!
W: That sounds really terrible! Did anyone survive?
M: No, everyone aboard, including the crew, was killed instantly.
W: What were the circumstances? Were there bad weather, a fire, or engine failure?
M: Apparently, there were some low clouds in the area, but mostly it was just miscommunication 
between the pilots and the air traffic controllers.
W: Weren’t they both speaking in English, the official international aviation language?
M: Yes they were, but the transmission from poor quality radios was slightly distorted and the 
accents of the Spanish speaking controllers was so strong that the pilots that the pilots 
misunderstood a vital instruction.
W: How could a misunderstanding like that cause such a serious accident?
M: The pilots were told to descend to 2-2,000 feet. The instruction actually meant 22,000 feet, but 
they thought they heard descend 2,000 feet. That’s a huge difference, and it should have been 
confirmed, but it was not. Unfortunately, the terrain of the mountains in Norweija extends up to 
20,000 feet.
W: So the pilots did descend to the wrong altitude then, thinking they were following the air 
controller’s instructions.
M: Sadly enough, yes they did. It was a really bad mistake. Many people died as a result of the 
simply misunderstanding.
W: Wow, that’s a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate with 
each other.
23. What was the cause of the tragedy?
24. How high are the mountains in the region?
25. What lesson could be drawn from the accident?

M: Hi, Ms. Rowling, how old were you when you started to write? And what was your first book?
W: I wrote my first finished story when I was about 6. It was about a small animal, a rabbit I 
mean, and I’ve been writing ever since.
M: Why did you choose to be an author?
W: If someone asked me how to achieve happiness, step one would be finding out what you love 
doing most and step two would be finding someone to pay you to do it. I consider myself very 
lucky indeed to be able to support myself by writing.
M: Do you have any plans to write books for adults?
W: My first two novels were for adults. I suppose I might write another one, but I never really 
imagine a target audience when I’m writing. The ideas come first, so it really depends on the idea 
that grabs me next!
M: Where did the ideas for the Harry Potter books come from?
W: I’ve no idea where the ideas come from and I hope I’ll never find out. It would spoil my 
excitement if it turned out I just have a funny wrinkle on the surface of my brain, which makes me 
think about invisible train platforms.
M: How did you come up with the names of your characters?
W: I invented some of them, but I also collected strange names. I’ve got them from ancient saints, 
maps, dictionaries, plants, war memoirs, and people I’ve met.
M: Oh, you are really resourceful.

M: You know this isn’t the first time that people are saying Brazil will be a great economic power. 
The same thing was said over 100 years ago, but it didn’t happen.
W: Yes, but you must admit the world’s a very different place now.
M: Of course. In fact, I believe that there may be some truths in the predictions this time around. 
First of all, though, we must remember the problems facing Brazil at the moment.
W: Such as? 
M: There’s an enormous gap between the rich and the poor in this country. In San Paulo, you can 
see shopping malls full of designer goods right next door to the slum areas without proper water or 
electricity supplies. A lot of work needs to be done to help people in those areas improve their 
lives.
W: What needs to be done? 
M: Education, for example. For Brazil, to be successful, we need to offer education to all 
Brazilians. Successful countries, like South Korea and Singapore, have excellent education 
systems. Brazil needs to learn from these countries.
W: So you’re hopeful for the future?

W: Tell me, Peter, what makes Harrods so famous? 
M: Well, it's the biggest department store in UK. And its food hall and the Egyptian hall are very 
famous. People come to Harrods just to see them.
W: What is special about the food hall?
M: It sells many different kinds of food. For example, it has 250 kinds of cheese from all over the 
world and more than 180 kinds of bread. Customers also love all the different kinds of chocolate. 
They buy a hundred tons every year.
W: That's amazing! And why is the Egyptian hall so famous?
M: Well, when people see it, they feel they were in another world. It looks like an Egyptian 
building from four thousand years ago. And it sells beautiful objects. They're not four thousand 
years old, of course.
W: Is it true that Harrods produces its own electricity?
M: Yes, it does, 70%, enough for a small town. To light the outside of the building, we use 11,500 
light bulbs.
W: Really? Tell me, how many customers do you have on an average day? And how much do 
they spend?
M: About 30,000 people come on an average day. But during the sales, the number increases to 
300,000 customers a day. How much do they spend? Well, on average, customers spend about 1.5 
million pounds a day. The record for one day is 9 million pounds.
W: Nine million pounds in one day?
M: Yes, on the first day of the "January sales".
W: Harrods says it sells everything to everybody everywhere. Is that really true?
M: Oh, yes, of course! Absolutely everything!
Q19: What is the food hall of Harrods noted for?
Q20: What does the Egyptian hall seem like to the customers?
Q21: What makes customers find surprising about Harrods?
Q22: About how many customers come to Harrods on an average day?

M: No, really. What have you been doing these past few weeks? The last time I saw you, you were 
looking for a new job.
W: Well, that's not exactly true. I was thinking about changing jobs. Luckily, they offered me a 
new position in the accounting department.
M: A step-up in the big business world.
W: I wouldn't exaggerate, but I'm pleased. I had been hoping to get a promotion for a while. So 
when it finally came through, I was relieved. Actually, that's why I was looking for a new job. I 
just didn't want to work there anymore if they weren’t going to recognize my efforts.
M: Right, sometimes you could do your best and it seems like the others don't know you exist. I 
hope the money is better.
W: I got a reasonable raise. Now, enough about me. I’m dying to hear your news.
M: I'm getting married.
W: No! You said you’d never get married.
M: That was then, and this is now. You’ve got to meet Andrea, she’s great.
W: This is all news to me. I didn't even know you were dating.
M: We weren’t. We’ve just been dating for 2 weeks now.
W: And you're getting married?
M: I know. I can't help it. I just know she is the one.
W: Well, congratulations! That’s fantastic.
M: Thanks. I’m glad to hear you feel that way.

原文：
This is Ray McCarthy with the news. Reports are coming in of a major train crash in Japan. A 
passenger train carrying hundreds of workers home from the center of Tokyo is reported to have 
hit an oncoming goods train. Both were traveling at high speed. 
Figures are not yet available but it is believed that the death toll could be as high as 300, with 
hundreds more injured. Emergency and rescue services rushed to the scene. But our reporter says 
it will take days to clear the track and to establish the numbers of the dead and injured. There was 
a similar accident on the same stretch of track four years ago.
There was another bomb scare in a large London store last night during late night shopping. 
Following a telephone call to the police from an anonymous caller, hundreds of shoppers were 
shepherded out of the store while roads in the area were sealed off. Police dogs spent hours 
searching the store for a bag which the caller claimed contained 50 pounds of explosives. Nothing 
was found and the store was given the all-clear by opening time this morning. A police spokesman 
said that this was the third bomb scare within a week and that we should all be on our guard. And 
finally, the motoring organizations have issued a warning to drivers following the recent falls of 
snow in many parts of the country. Although the falls may be slight, they say extra care is needed.
Q32: What accident happened recently in Japan?
Q33: What do the reports say about the recent accident in Japan? 
 Q34: Why did people have to leave the London store last night?
Q35: What did motoring organizations advise drivers to do?

原文：
The 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 kidnappers 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 hours and conditions. A 
spokesman for the management said that they'd hope they could now get back to producing cars, 
and that they lost lot of money and orders over this dispute.
And finally the weather. After a cold 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.
Questions 26 – 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
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?

BBC News with Neil Nunes
The Italian President Giorgio Napolitano has tried to reassure the world's financial markets 
that his country will be able to pay its massive debts. The financial crisis in Italy, one of the 
world's largest economies, has deepened with the key interest rate on government bonds rising 
to 7%. That's the point at which several much smaller eurozone countries had to ask for 
international bailouts. President Napolitano called for the country to find a renewed sense of 
responsibility and cohesion.

"We must act in order to depart urgently today from a very dangerous squeeze on the titles 
of our state debt on the financial markets and on the conditions of our banks."
The president said Italy would pass a new financial stability law within days and the Prime 
Minister Silvio Berlusconi would then fulfil his promise to resign.
Politicians in Greece have failed to reach an agreement on a new prime minister after three 
days of intense wrangling. From Athens, here's Mark Lowen.
This is yet another twist in the extraordinary political drama unfolding in Greece over the 
past few days. A meeting between the prime minister, president and other political parties 
intended to name the country's next leader has broken up, and another round of talks called for 
Thursday morning. Earlier, George Papandreou gave a farewell television address, announcing 
that the new government would implement Greece's bailout package so as to receive its 
international loan, and he said Greece would do all it can to stay in the eurozone. But behind 
the scenes, the wrangling goes on, leaving a perilous power vacuum.
A Saudi man has gone on trial at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp charged with being 
behind an al-Qaeda attack on an American warship in Yemen more than a decade ago. Abd al-
Rahim al-Nashiri is accused of organising the suicide attack on the USS Cole in the year 2000. 
Marcus George reports from Guantanamo.
Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri was led into court, unshackled by minders wearing surgical gloves. 
His hair and beard were cropped, and he was dressed in white prison clothes. This was his first 
appearance in public since his capture. He appeared calm and spoke with his attorneys with 
ease, at one point, giving them a thumbs-up sign. What followed was an initial hearing to 
discuss the charges against him. He's accused of organising the attack on the USS Cole in 
Yemen using a craft laden with explosives that killed 17 American servicemen.
The US army has handed over its second biggest base in Iraq to the Iraqi government ahead 
of the planned withdrawal of all American forces at the end of the year. Joint Base Balad housed 
more than 35,000 US military personnel and contractors at the height of the Iraq conflict. At 
one time, the US had some 500 bases in Iraq. There are 11 left.
World News from the BBC
Syrian and Egyptian activists have prevented Syrian opposition leaders from meeting the 
Arab League in Cairo, accusing them of treachery. The activists threw eggs and scuffled with the 
opposition leaders as they arrived at the Arab League headquarters. Correspondents say the 
incident reveals again the splits within the anti-government movement in Syria with many 
dismissing the opposition leadership as out of touch.
Russia says it won't support new sanctions against Iran following the publication of a UN 
report raising new concerns about its nuclear programme. A Russian spokesman said new 
sanctions would be interpreted more widely as an attempt to force regime change in Iran. Iran 
denies any military nuclear ambitions.
World football's governing body Fifa has agreed to allow Britain's football teams to wear red 
commemorative poppies on their arms this weekend to honour the country's war dead. The 
decision is compromise in a row which has drawn in politicians and even the royal family, as 
Alex Capstick reports.
Both the British Prime Minister David Cameron and Prince William, second in line to the 
throne, had written to Fifa expressing their dismay at its refusal to allow jerseys with poppies 
embroidered onto them from being worn by the England and Wales teams this weekend. Fifa 
has a blanket ban on symbols of a political, religious or commercial nature being shown on

body has agreed for the red emblem to be emblazoned on black armbands which will be worn 
by the players.
President Obama has approved an unusual measure to help reduce America's budget deficit 
by cutting back on the number of branded coffee mugs, T-shirts and other official trinkets given 
away by government departments. The items, known collectively as swag, are paid for by 
taxpayers and used by the government to promote its work.

Passage 1 
Most people know what a hot dog is. It's a sausage in a roll. But do you know why it's called a hot 
dog? Well, the long red sausage which goes into a hotdog is called a Frankfurter?. It got its name 
from the German town Frankfurt. The sausages were very popular, but hot frankfurters were

difficult to sell in crowds One man, Harry Stevens, had the job of feeding the crowds in baseball 
games. He had an idea. Why not put the frankfurters in long, hot bread rolls? This made them easy 
to sell. The “red hot" had a hot and attractive taste and became very popular. But in 1903, an 
American cartoonist drew a long German sausage dog in place of the frankfurter so a frankfurter 
in a roll soon became known as a “hot dog". It was a joke, but some people really thought the 
sausages contained dog meat. For a while, sales of hotdogs failed, but not for long.? 
11. What is a frankfurter?
12. What was Harry Stevens' job? 
13. Why did sales of hot dogs decrease for some time? 
Passage 2
We all scream for water when thirsty, but do you know in very hot, dry weather, plants also make 
faint sounds — as if they are crying out for help? 
You see, in a plant's stem there are hundreds of “water pipes" that bring water and minerals from 
the soil all the way up to the leaves. As the ground turns dry, it becomes harder and harder for the 
plants to do this? 
In severe droughts, plants have to fight to pull out any water available. Scientist Robert winter has 
found out that when it is really bad their water pipes snap from the tension like rubber bands. 
When that happens, the whole plant vibrates a little. The snapping pipes make noises ten thousand 
times more quiet than a whisper? 
Robert knows that healthy, well-watered plants are quiet. He also knows that many insects prefer 
attacking dry plants rather than healthy plants. How do the insects know which are healthy plants 
and which are not? Robert thinks that the insects may listen for the plants that cry and then they 
may buzz in to kill? 
To test his theory, Robert is using a device that can imitate plant cries. He attaches it to a quiet, 
healthy plant so the plant sounds thirsty. Then he watches insects to see if they attack more often 
than usual? 
If he is right, scientists could use the insects' ability against them. They could build traps that 
imitate crying plants. So when the insects buzz in to eat, they won't buzz out. 
14. What do plants do when they are thirsty? 
15. What plants do many insects tend to attack? 
16. What could scientists do if Robert's theory proves to be true?

Passage 3
People enjoy taking trips, but what are the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. 
People travel because they want to broaden their horizons to learn about other people and other 
places. They are curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at 
different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson. 
On a trip, a person can learn directly — by visiting museums and historic spots. What does a 
tourist learn who sees the art museums, visits the historical palaces and other scenic spots in Paris, 
and shops along the River Seine? he gets a vivid picture— a real-life—one of the French people. 
He learns about their attitudes, how they feel about business, beauty and history? 
What about the tourist who goes to Hongkong? Does he get the same information that he could get 
from a book? he might read that Hongkong is crowded, that there is less than 200 square meters of 
space for each person, but seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He 
might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway, but the sight of so 
many vehicles parked along the roadside will be a much more vivid lesson. The tourist to 
Hongkong will never forget the contrasts — the straight vertical lines of the tall modern buildings 
and the moving lines of boats that people live in?

Last August, Susan and 42 other students got wet and dirty while removing six tons of garbage 
from the river running across their city. They cleaned up the river as part of a week-long 
environmental camp. Like one in three American rivers, this river is so polluted that（考点1） 
it’s unsafe for swimming and fishing, still, Susan, who has just completed her third summer on the 
river clean-up, scene has changed in this river. “Since we started three years ago, the river is 
getting a lot cleaner”, she says. Environmental scientists praised the teenagers for removing 
garbage that can harm wild life. Waterbirds, for example, can choke on plastic bottle rings and get 
cut by scrap metal. Three years ago, when the clean-up started, garbage was everywhere, but this 
year, the teenagers had to hunt for garbage. （考点2）They turn the clean-up into a competition 
to see who could find the most garbage and unload their boats fastest. By the end of the six hour

13.What is the expected reaction of the local people to the students’ efforts? 
Passage two 
Why do we cry? Can you imagine life without tears? Not only do tears keep your eyes lubricated, 
they also contain a substance that kills certain bacteria so they can’t infect your eyes. Give up your 
tears ,and you’ll lose this on-the-spot defense. Nobody wants to give up the flood of extra tears 
you produce when you get something physical or chemical in your eyes. Tears are very good at 
washing this irritating stuff out .Another thing you couldn’t do without your tears is cry from joy, 
anger or sadness. Humans are the only animals that produce tears in response to emotions, and 
most people say a good cry makes them feel better. Many scientists, therefore, believe that crying 
somehow helps us cope with emotional situations. Tear researcher, Winifred, is trying to figure 
out how it happens. One possibility he says is that tears discharge certain chemicals from your 
body, chemicals that build up during stress. When people talk about crying it out, “I think that 
might actually be what they are doing”, he says. If Fred is right, what do you think will happen to 
people who restrain their tears? Boys, for example ,cry only about a quarter as often as girls once 
they reach teenage years, and we all cry a lot less now than we did as babies .Could it possibly be 
that we face less stress? Maybe we found another ways to deal with it, or maybe we just feel 
embarrassed.

Passage One 原文：
In January 1989, the Community of European Railways presented their proposal for a high speed 
Pan-European train network （考点1）extending from Sweden to Sicily, and from Portugal to 
Poland by the year 2020. If their proposal becomes a reality, it will revolutionize train travel in 
Europe. Journeys between major cities will take half the time they take today.（考点2） Brussels 
will be only one and a half hours from Paris. The quickest way to get from Paris to Frankfurt, 
from Barcelona to Madrid will be by train, not plane.  When the network is complete, it will 
integrate three types of railway line: totally new high speed lines with trains operating at speeds of 
300 kilometers per hour, upgraded lines which allow for speeds up to 200 to 225 kilometers per 
hour, and existing lines for local connections and distribution of freight. If business people can 
choose between a 3-hour train journey from city-center to city-center and 1-hour flight, they’ll 
choose the train, says an executive travel consultant. They won’t go by plane any more. If you 
calculate flight time, check-in and travel to-and-from the airport, you’ll find almost no difference. 
And if your plane arrives late due to bad weather or air traffic jams or strikes, then the train 
passengers will arrive at their destination first. Since France introduced the first 260 kilometer per 
hour high speed train service between Paris and Lyons in 1981, the trains have achieved higher 
and higher speeds. On many routes, airlines have lost up to 90% of their passengers to high speed 
trains. If people accept the Community of European Railways’plan, the 21 century will be the new 
age of the train. 
 What is the proposal presented by the Community of European Railways? 
 What will happen when the proposal becomes a reality? 
 Why will business people prefer a 3-hour train journey to a 1-hour flight? 
 When did France introduce the first high speed train service? 
Passage Two原文：
Western doctors are beginning to understand what traditional healers have always known that the 
body and the mind （考点1）are inseparable. Until recently, modern urban physicians heal the 
body, psychiatrists the mind, and priests the soul. However, the medical world is now paying more 
attention to holistic medicine, which is an approach based on the belief that people’s state of mind 
can make them sick or speed their recovery from sickness. Several studies show that effectiveness 
新东方在线 [www.koolearn.com ]网络课堂电子教材系列  六级基础听力

of a certain drug often depends on the patient’s expectations（考点2） of it. For example, in one 
recent study, psychiatrists at a major hospital tried to see how patients could be made calm. They 
divided them into two groups. One group was given a drug while the other group received a 
harmless substance instead of medicine without their knowledge. Surprisingly, more patients in 
the second group showed the desired effect than those in the first group. In study after study, 
there’s a positive reaction in almost one-third of the patients taking harmless substances. How was 
this possible? How can such a substance have an effect on the body? Evidence from a 1997 study 
at the University of California shows that several patients who receiced such substances were able 
to produce their own natural drug, that is, as they took the substance their brains released natural 
chemicals that act like a drug. Scientists theorized that the amount of these chemicals released by 
a person’s brain quite possibly indicates how much faith the person has in his or her doctor. 
 Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard. 
 According to the speaker, what are western doctors beginning to understand? 
 What does the recent study at a major hospital seem to prove? 
 What evidence does the 1997 study at the University of California produce? 
Passage Three原文
So we’ve already talked a bit about the growth of extreme sports like rockclimbing. As 
psychologists, we need to ask ourselves: Why is this person doing this? Why do people take these 
risks and put themselves in danger when they don’t have to? One common trait among risk-takers 
is that they enjoy strong feelings or sensations. （考点1）We call this trait sensation-seeking. A 
sensation-seeker is someone who’s always looking for new sensations. What else do we know 
about sensation-seekers? Well, as I said, sensation-seekers like strong emotions. You can this trait 
in many parts of a person’s life, not just in extreme sports. For example, many sensation-seekers 
enjoy hard rock music. They like the loud sound and strong emotion of the songs. Similarly, 
sensation-seekers enjoy frightening horror movies. They like the feeling of being scared and 
horrified while watching the movie. This feeling is even stronger for extreme sports where the 
person faces real danger. Sensation-seekers feel the danger is very exciting. In addition, sensation-
seekers like new experiences that force them to push their personal limits. For them, repeating the 
same things everyday is boring. （考点2）Many sensation-seekers choose jobs that involve risk, 
such as starting a new business or being an emergency room doctor. These jobs are different every 
day , so they never know what will happen. That’s why many sensation-seekers also like extreme 
sports. When you do rock-climbing, you never know what will happen. The activity is always new 
and different. 
 Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 
 According to the speaker, what is a common trait aming risk-takers? 
 What do sensation-seekers find boring? 
 What is the speaker’s profession?

第一篇：
Edgar Poe, an American writer, was born in 1809. His parents were actors. Edgar was a baby 
when his father left the family. He was two years old when his mother died. He was taken into the 
home of a wealthy business man named John Allen. He then received his real name, Edgar Poe. 
As a young man, Poe attended the University of Virginia. He was a good student, but he liked to 
drink alcohol and play card games for money. As an unskilled game player, he often lost money. 
Since he could’t pay off his gambling money, he left university and began working for magazines. 
He worked hard, yet he was not well paid, or well-known. At the age of 27, he got married. For a 
time it seemed that Poe would find happiness, but his wife was sick for most of their marriage, and 
died in 1847. Through all his crises, Poe produced many stories and poems which appeared in 
different publications, yet he didn’t become famous until 1845, when his poem, The Raven, was 
published. There is a question, however, about Poe’s importance in American Literarure. Some 
critics say that Poe was one of  American’s best writers, and even influenced many French writers, 
but others disagree. They say that Poe’s work is difficult to understand and most of his writing 
describes many unpleasant situations and events. Edgar Allen Poe died in 1849 when he was 40 
years old. It is said that he was found dead after days of heavy drinking.
26. What happened to Edgar Allen Poe’s family. When he was only two years old?

More than fifty years ago, the United Nations declared that literacy is a basic human right. It’s a 
very important for improving the lives of individuals, however, it is estimated that 880 million 
adults around the world are illterate, that is, they are unable to read or write. A majority of them 
are women. Over 100 million school age children around the world do not attend school. Many

others complete school or fail to finish their studies without learning to read or write. Many 
countries depend on the efforts of people who offer their time to help illiterate individuals. For 
example, John Mogger became concerned about the problem of illiteracy three years ago, so he 
started teaching five prisoners in Brazil. In his teaching, he developed a system with these 
prisoners. He says his way of teaching can help anyone learn how to read and write with about 
thirty hours of study. To learn his systerm, people must first know how to write letters of the 
alphabet and learn which sounds they represent. The system divides letters into three groups. The 
first group of letter can be written between two lines. The second can be written between two lines 
but part of the letter is above the top line. The trird group has letters that are partly written below 
the lower line. John Mogger taught his students to write simple words from the letters, in this way, 
his students learned more than seven hundred words. Many of them can now write to family 
members. They also can read newspapers and magazines.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. According to the speaker, which group of people make up the majority of the illiterate 
population?
31. What is the most important feature of John Mogger’s method of teaching the alphabet?
32. What does John Mogger say about his teaching method?

Farmers usually use plows to prepare their fields for planting crops. Plows cut into the ground, and 
lift up weeds, and other unwanted plants. However, plowing is blamed for causing severe damage 
to topsoil by removing the plants that protect soil from being blown or washed away. Many 
farmers in South Asia are now trying a process called Low Till Farming. Low Till Farming limits 
the use of plows. In this method of farming, seeds and fertilizer are put into the soil through small 
cuts made in the surface of the ground. Low Till Agriculture leaves much or all the soil and 
remains of plants on the ground. They serve as a natural fertilizer and help support the roots of 
future crops. They take in rain and allow it to flow into the soil instead of running off. It has been 
proved that Low Till Farming increases havests and reduces water use, and this method reduced 
the need for chemical products because there are fewer unwanted plants. Scientists say Low Till 
Farming is becoming popular in South Asia, which is facing a severe water shortage. They say the 
area will become depended on imported food unless water is saved through methods like. 
Currently, more than 150 million people in South Asia depend on local rice and wheat crops. 
Farmers grow rice during wet weather. During the dry season they grow wheat in the same fields. 
Famers are using the Low Till method to plant wheat after harvesting rice. Scientists say Low Till

D) Cutting the budget for repairs and replacements.
I had flown from San Francisco to Virginia to attend a conference on multiculturalism. Hundreds 
of educators from across the country were meeting to discuss the need for greater cultural 
diversity in the school curriculum. I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, my driver and I chatted 
about the weather and the tourists. The driver was a White man in forties. ‘How long have you 
been in this country?’ he asked. ‘All my life!’ I replied, ‘I was born in the United States.’ With 
strong southern accent, he remarked, ‘I was wondering because your English is excellent.’ Then I 
explained as I had done many times before, ‘My grandfather came here from China in the 1880s. 
My family has been here in America for ever a hundred years.’ He glanced at me in the mirror. 
Somehow, I didn’t look American to him. My appearance looked foreign. Questions liked the one 
my taxi driver asked make me feel uncomfortable. But I can understand why he could not see me 
as an American. He had a narrow but widely shared sense of the past: a history that has viewed 
Americans as descendants of Europeans. Race has functioned as something necessary to the 
construction of American character and quality in the creation of our national identity—American 
has been defined as ‘white’. But American has been racially diverse since our very beginning on 
the Virginia shore, where the first group of Englishmen and Africans arrived in the 17th century. 
And this reality is increasingly become visible everywhere.
11.What was the theme of the conference the speaker was to attend?
12.Why did the taxi driver ask the speaker how long he has been in the US?
13.What message did the speaker wish to convey?
Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect 
for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed 
services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat 
from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the 
flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. 
Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part 
of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or 
boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or 
badgers of the US, When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a 
covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to 
fall to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take 
every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or 
floor, nor to brush against objects.
14.How do Americans ensure proper respect for the national flag?
15.What is the regulation regarding the raising of the American National Flag?
16. How should the American National Flag be displayed at an unveiling ceremony?
17．What do we learn about the use of the American National Flag?

             In some large American city schools, as many as 20-40% of the students are absent each 
day. There are two major reasons for such absences: one is sickness, and the other is truancy. That 
is staying away from school without permission. Since school officials can’t do much about the 
illness, they are concentrating on reducing the number of truancy. One of the most promising 
schemes has been tried in Florida. The pupils there with good attendance have been given free 
hamburgers, toys and T-shirts. Classes are told if they show improved rates of attendance, they 
can win additional gifts. At the same time, teachers are encouraged to inspire their students to 
come to school regularly. When those teachers are successful, they are also rewarded. “we’ve 
been punishing truancy for years, but that hasn’t brought them back to school,” One school 
principal said. Now we are trying the positive approach. Not only do you learn by showing up 
every day, but you earn. In San Francisco, the board of education has had a somewhat similar 
idea. Schools that show a decrease in deliberate destruction of property can receive the amount of 
money that would be spent on repairs and replacements. For example, 12,000 dollars had been set 
aside for a school’s property damages every year. Since repair expenses of damaged property 
required only 4,000 dollars, the remaining 8,000 dollars was turned over to the student activity 
fund. “Our democracy operates on hope and encouragement,” said the school board member. 
“Why not provide some positive goals for students and teachers to aim at?”
18、 which reason for students’ absences is discussed in great detail?
19 、who will benefit from the scheme being tried in Florida?
20、 what measure has been taken in San Francisco to reduce the destruction of school property?

2010年专业四级考试：
Britain has a well-respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research 
institutions in the world. But to those who are new to this system, it can sometimes be confusing. 
October is usually the busiest month in the academic calendar.       Universities have something 
called “freshman’s week” for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join 
in lots of clubs and settle into university life.
However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect of meeting 
strangers in classrooms and dormitories can be worrying. Where do you start and who should you 
make friends with? Which clubs and society should you join?
Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you. They worry about starting their 
university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that 
you’ll regret for the next three years.
复合式听写基础：
I. 单词量
II. 语法知识
III. 发音
必备基础发音知识：
基础发音要点之一：元音读准
在英语全部的48个音标中共有20个元音(12个单元音+8个双元音)，和28个辅音。其中，元
音部分20个： 
1）单元音12个：[i:],[i],[ɔ:],[ɔ],[u:],[u],[ə:],[ə],[ɑ:],[ʌ],[e],[æ]
2）双元音8个：[ei],[ai],[ɔi],[ɛə],[uə],[iə],[au],[əu]
[i:],[i],[ɔ:],[ɔ],[u:],[u],[ə:],[ə],[ɑ:],[ʌ],[e],[æ]
[ei],[ai],[ɔi],[ɛə],[uə],[iə],[au],[əu]
[e],[æ]和[ai]：如net, bat, night, cat, kite
[ɛə]和[iə]：bear, beer, here, hare, heir
[au]和[əu]：show, shower, toast, know
[ʌ]和[au]：nut, fund, found
试着读以下几句话——
Mary found the fund to get married.
Please send the sand to the factory.
The southern oil field is in the south.
基础发音要点之二：英美发音区别举例
在听力考试中，英式和美式发音是对考生有直接影响的。如，2010年12月，2005年考题。
对于一个只熟悉英式发音或只熟悉美式发音的同学，陌生发音的影响到底有多大？

先请大家来听一个英式发音的音频——
2005年1月六级考试听力部分第一篇短文。
原文(1/7)： 
Both 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.
原文(2/7)： 
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.
原文(3/7)： 
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.
原文(4/7)： 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.
原文(5/7)： 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.
原文(6/7)： 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.” 
原文(7/7)： Although Sue took longer to complete 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.
除了有些分别专属英式或美式英语的单词外，很多单词在英美式英语中发音也不尽相同。
主要区别列举——
either, neither; dance, can’t; hot, not; but, at; build, building, milk; million; fragile, fertile; course, 
nervous; letter, water; school, food
基础发音要点之三：辅音分清浊
辅音一共28个：10对清浊辅音(20个)+鼻音/m/、/n/、/ŋ/ 
(3个)+半元音/j/、/w/(2个)+似拼音/h/、/l/、/r/(3个，其中/l/叫做边音)
容易混淆的：feel, veal; fine, vine; very well; bath, bathe; breath, breathe; sink, zinc; come in, 
coming
清辅音和浊辅音，举例/p/, /b/
(1)以/s/音开头或重读，/s/发音后面的清辅音要浊化。如speak, story, experience

57
淘宝店铺名：华西教育   阿里旺旺：智龙雁少  更多考研 四六级 资料    
(2)美音、加拿大音中，两个元音音素夹击之下的清辅音，要向其所对应的浊辅音趋化。如 
letter (ladder), water, writer (rider), petal (pedal), meeting, writing, get out
基础发音要点之四：清音浊化现象
关于美音、加拿大音中的清音浊化，我们来看几句来自于99年托福考试的片段:
… Stowe's best writing is about village life in the New England's states in the 19th century. In 
recording to the customs of the villages she wrote about, … In this sense, she was an important 
forerunner to the realistic movement that became popular later in the 19th century. 
基础发音要点附：近音词举例
(1/4)
full fool
odd awed
fund found
border board
council cancel
(2/4)
Stock stalk
staff stuff
pull pool
appeal a pill 
bald board
(3/4)

ceiling sealing
all together altogether
band banned
bear bare
flower flour
flew flu
soy sauce source
floor flaw
bread bred (breed)
sent cent
find fined
heal high heels
fare fair
peace piece
基础发音要点之五：辅音击穿和辅音叠合
(1)/h/很弱,很容易被击穿
 如forehead两种发音
 with+him=with(h)im
 with+her=with(h)er
 like+her=like(h)er
 tell+him=tell(h)im
(2)/t/和/d/在/n/后通常被击穿
 twenty--twen(t)y
 internet--in(t)ernet
(3)/th/在/n/后有时也被击穿
 seen+that=seen (th)at
 I‘ve never seen that movie. 
  (特指“那一个”时除外)
辅音叠合条件：前面单词结尾是辅音，后面单词开头是相同辅音。如例句——
 My friend did it.
 Not today.
 It’s not the right time.

基础发音要点之六：狭义连读
 当前面单词结尾辅音音素，后面单词开头元音音素，在快速发音时则需要连读。如pick up, 
get out，a cup of tea, first of all
 [r]音连读。如far away, forever, figure out, after all, for example
基础发音要点之六：连读
 元音和元音在一定情况下也可以连读
(1) /u/+/w/+元
      go on; How are you
(2) /i/+/j/+元
  Say it again; try it
辅音的同化 education, reduce
(听真题短文问题部分的一句话)
(1)[d]与[j]相邻时, 如Could you, would you
(2)[t]与[j]相邻时, 如Can’t you, won’t you.
(3)[s]与[j]相邻时, 如Miss you, bless you.
(4)[z]与[j]相邻时, 如As you wish.
基础发音要点之七：失去爆破
误区之一：随便一个辅音音素位于单词词尾，遇上后方也是辅音音素的时候就要失去前方
辅音音素的爆破。
误区之二：失去爆破就是把这个音全都抹去，什么都不留下。
英语28个辅音中，[p] [b]、 [t] [d]、 [k] 
[g]这六个音标，一共三组，被称为爆破音。前面单词结尾爆破音，后面单词开头辅音音素
则失去爆破。如exactly，spectacular，notebook，hard time, sit down； good morning, last 
night, good friend
基础发音要点之八：语速、重音和语调等
听一段真题录音——(1/7)
There are some serious problems in the Biramichi river. The local chamber of commerce, which 
represents the industry in the area, hired me as a consultant to do a one year study on fishing in the 
Biramichi river and write a report for them. This is my report.
(2/7)One of the major problems in the Biramichi River is that the level of oxygen in the water is 
too low.Several chemicals have displaced the oxygen. This chemical pollution has two sources---
the factories which dump polluted water directly into the river and the local community which 
dumps untreated human wastes into the river.

(3/7)The local town government has already spent 2 million dollars on waste water treatment 
projects, but it will cost another 27 million to complete the projects. It will take at least 15 years 
for the town to collect enough revenue from taxes to complete these projects.
(4/7)The factories here employ 17,000 people in an area where there is very little alternative 
employment. It is not economically practical to close or relocate the factories. Also the factories 
cannot afford to finance chemical treatment plants by themselves.
(5/7)Another problem is that the members of the Biramichi fishing cooperative are overfishing. 
Fishes are caught when they are on the way upstream to lay eggs. Consequently, not enough fish 
are left to reproduce in large number.
(6/7)The members of cooperative say that they had already reduced their annual catch by 50 
percent. However, my studies indicate that they took fewer fish because there were fewer fish to 
catch, not because they were trying to preserve fishes.
(7/7)11. What was the speaker assigned to do in the past year?
12.What is one of the problems in the B river?
13.What does the passage tell us about the factories along the river?
14.Why was the annual catch of fish in the Biramichi river reduced according to the speaker?

Adults are getting smarter about how smart babies are. Not long ago, researches learned that four 
day olds could understand addition and subtraction. He found that nine month old infants could be 
taught through repeated show and tell to recognize the names of objects that were foreign to them, 
a result that challenges in some ways, the received wisdom that apart from learning to identify 
things common to their daily lives, children don’t being to build vocabulary until well into their 
second year. “It’s no secret that children learn words, but the words they tend to know are linked 
to specific situations in the home,” explains Shaffer. This is the first demonstration that we can 
choose what words the children will learn and that they can respond to them with an unfamiliar 
voice giving instructions in an unfamiliar setting. “Figuring out how human acquire language may 
shed light on why some children learn to read and write later than others,” Shaffer says, “and 
could lead to better treatments for developed mental problems.” What’s more, the study of 
language acquisition offers direct insight into how humans learn. “Language is a test case for 
human cognitive development,” says Shaffer, “but parents eager to teach their infants should take 
note. Even without being taught new words a control group caught up with the other infants within 
a few months.” This is not about advancing development, he says, it’s just about what children can

Nursing, as a typically female profession, must deal constantly with the false impression that 
nurses are there to wait on the position. As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. 
We do not have any legal or moral obligation to any physician. We provide health teaching, assess 
physical as well as emotional problems, coordinate patient-related services and make all of our 
nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If, in any circumstance, we 
feel that the physician’s order is inappropriate or unsafe, we have a legal responsibility to question 
that order or refuse to carry it out.
Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they 
enter the profession. The emotional and physical stress, however, that occurs due to hard working 
hours is a prime reason for a lot of the career for dissatisfaction. It is sometimes required that we 
work overtime and that we change shifts four or five times a month. That disturbs our personal 
lives, disrupts our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except job-related 
friends and activities. The quality of nursing care is being affected dramatically by these 
situations. Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates as experienced nurses finally give up 
trying to change the system.
Consumers of medically-related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand

sit in the 3rd row, and look squarely at the instructor as she speaks. But your mind is far away, 
floating in the clouds of pleasant daydreams. Occasionally you come back to earth. The instructor 
writes an important term on the chalkboard, and you dutifully copy it in your notebook. Every 
once in a while the instructor makes a witty remark, causing others in the class to laugh. You 
smile politely, pretending that you’ve heard the remark and found it mildly humorous. You have a 
vague sense of guilt that you aren’t paying close attention.
But you tell yourself that any material you miss can be picked up from a friend’s notes. Besides, 
the instructor’s talking about road construction in ancient Rome, and nothing could be more 
boring. So back you go into your private little world, only later do you realize you’ve missed 
important information for a test. Fake listening may be easily exposed, since many speakers are 
sensitive to facial cues and can tell if you’re merely pretending to listen. Your blank expression, 
and the faraway look in your eyes are the cues that betray you inattentiveness. Even if you are not 
exposed there’s another reason to avoid fakery.

Conversation one:
这是一篇采访一名专为左撇子们提供产品的供应商的文章。文中分别谈到了创业理念的来
源、产业如何创始、产业日前发展状况以及这家产品供应商所面对的行业现状。具体细节
为：创业理念开始于一名名叫Gruby的退休印刷工，他本人是一名左撇子，所以想到找生
产商帮他实现自己所想的专门为左撇子设计产品的理念。而这家供应商目前面对的行业现
状为：市面上已有的左撇子产品比最初创业之时，增加了许多；但销售渠道来源主要是网
络订单。而这些，并不对这家供应商公司构成竞争威胁，因为他们在伦敦有门店和网络销
售的双重渠道。因此他们是这种左撇子产品的最大供应商。 　　
Conversation two:
本篇文章为考查细节信息抓取能力题。难度较大主要因为考生可能对产品制造加工行业涉
及到的manufacture、stock、mail-order outlet 
、supplier等专业术语不太熟悉，而形成困扰。但考生只要能听出这是一篇采访类型的文章
，每次都能听到女士（采访者）的问题非常简短，应该立即警惕答案应该是针对男士（被
访者）的回答提问。而女士（采访者）的问题中本身就已经暗示出接下来的回答中的关键
词。如：女士问的“And what’s the range of your 
stock?”一句中，stock即为关键信息词。因此，这篇文章同时也提醒考生平时应该注意商务
用语和商业常识方面的积累。 　　
这篇对话是围绕一次商业活动的推广是否延期和如何收费的讨论。对话中，女士否决了延
期四周这个提议。理由是这次的活动已经错过了两个重要的商业活动事件，而且也没有在
重要杂志上打广告。而男士则坚持要求延期，并表示：活动被耽搁的原因是女士所在公司
没有及时给出对广告的修改。而男士认为是女士所在公司提交细节修改建议太晚而导致耽
搁。女士坚持无需延期，且不应延期，而应定为活动失败。因此，女士向男士的公司提出
降低收费或者明年免费为她们公司做活动的要求。最后，男士提出延期四周并给出20%的

降价。可惜女士仍然要求更低的40%的降价和下一期的免费活动推广。而男士提出还需再
议。显然，他对此提议并不表示赞同。 　　
这篇文章总体不难，考查文章大意。而文章本身围绕是否延期和如何收费这个中心讨论点
展开，没有较生僻的词汇。但值得注意的是，考生需要通过对话推知谈话者的身份，并对
说话者的语气和话外音所包含的内容有所把握。另外，这是一篇在真实的商务谈判场景中
会经常出现的状况。考生注意平时对商业和商务常识方面的知识积累，会对把握整个听力
对话的大意很有帮助。

本篇文章主要是讲述人们对待老鼠不同的道德态度。 　　　　
作者的观点就是：如果我们对一样事物贴上了标签，那么在道德层面上，我们内心会根据
标签的不同作出不同的反应。并不是事物本身有任何好与不好，只是人类自作主张给各个

这篇文章的主题是城市和文化。属于散文性质。 
讲述了不同的人带给纽约不同的气息。第一种，纽约本地人，让纽约完整持续；第二种，
纽约上班族，让纽约躁动不安；第三种，来纽约寻梦的人，他们让纽约充满热情。作者在
内心觉得纽约正是因为有这样三种人才能如此闪耀光彩，尤其是最后一类人，为纽约做出
的贡献最大。 　　本篇文章中，The Three New Yorks 
具有双关含义，既可以指纽约城，也可以指纽约人。有些学生可能看到这里就没看懂。遇

Passage three:
这是一篇很有趣的记叙文。讲述了作者和室友的一段关于看电视问题的对话。 　　
作者一直在强调看电视如何如何不好，并且列举出了一大堆的原因：会让身体变胖，面色
枯黄，视力下降，并且会让孩子们的创造能力，交际能力下降。但是他的室友一直没有接
他的话，一直专心于看自己的电视节目。 
文章最幽默的是，最后一个情节，当室友说要换台的时候，作者立刻不愿意了，真是非常
地讽刺，原来作者自己也是离不开电视机，受不了电视节目的诱惑的。 　　
这篇文章难度比较低，生词几乎没有，大家只要看懂情节，基本上所有问题也可以回答出
来，需要仔细认真，在听听力的时候虚拟场景。
