2) He wanted to make sure that the driver heard him.

3) The conductor came and shouted at him.

4) The landlady told him that’s the signal for the driver to go on and only the conductor was allowed to ring the bell twice. That’s why the conductor got so annoyed.

【原文】

A strange thing happened to Henri yesterday. He was on a bus and wanted to get off. So he stood up and rang the bell. To make sure the driver heard him he rang it twice, but the bus didn’t stop, and the conductor came and shouted at him.

The conductor was so annoyed, and spoke so fast, that Henri didn’t understand a word. The bus stopped at the next bus stop and Henri got off. As he got off he heard someone say, “I think he’s a foreigner.”

When Henri got home, he told his landlady about the incident.

“How many times did you ring the bell?” she asked.

“Twice,” said Henri.

“Well, that’s the signal for the driver to go on,” his landlady explained. “Only the conductor is allowed to ring the bell twi ce. That’s why he got so annoyed.”

Henri nodded. “I see,” he said.

【原文】

The Taylor family, who live in North London, are planning to spend a day in Norwich. They can’t agree how to get there.

Mr. Taylor: I don’t want to drive all that way. Let’s go by train.

Mrs. Taylor: But that’s so expensive. It’s much cheaper for a family to go by car.

Peter: Why not try the coach? It’ll be cheaper than the train, and Daddy won’t have to drive.

Alison: But I’ll be sick! I hate traveling by coach.

Mrs. Taylor: Which is the quickest way to get there?

Mr. Taylor: Well, it’ll take at least three hours by car.

Peter: No, it won’t. Not if we take the motorway out of London.

Alison: I’m sure there’s a fast train service.

Mrs. Taylor: But we’ll have to get to Liverpool Street first. And then there’s the tube fares at this end, and bus or taxi fares at the other.

Alison: And the coach station is at Victoria, so that’s an extra journey too.

Mr. Taylor: I think there are som e special family rail fares. Perhaps that’ll be the cheapes t way.

Peter: But it won’t be the most convenient.

Mrs. Taylor: Why don’t we check all the facts and then decide?

Peter: OK.

Task 3

A.

of, without, of,

for, to, by, to, to, into

from, with

on, in, around, about

B.

1) school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. When their children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turns driving them to school.

2) they can save gasoline and it is easier for them to find parking places

3) too many cars are on the road and have created many problems

【原文】

The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or even more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.

Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.

Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays, taking her own children and the neighbors’ children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesdays and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.

More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and use less gasoline. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.

Task 4

【答案】

1) T, 2) F, 3) T, 4) F

【原文】

Mr. Fine: Can anyone in the class explain some differences between a zip code and an area code?

Mary: Both of them are numbers.

Mr. Fine: That’s how they are alike. But how are they different?

Mary: A zip code is for mailing letters. An area code is for making phone calls,

Mr. Fine: What kind of phone calls?

Mary: Long distance calls.

Mr. Fine: All right. And what is a zip code?

Mary: When I write a letter to my friends in New York City, I write 10027 on the envelope.

That’s their zip code. I have some other friends i n New York City, but their zip code is

10003.

Mr. Fine: In a big city there are different zip codes for different parts of the city. What about area codes?

Mary: Sometimes a whole small city has the same area code.

Mr. Fine: That’s right. And sometimes a whole state has the same area code if it doesn’t have many telephones. For example, the area code for the whole state of Arizona is 802.

Mary: But New York State has millions of telephones, so it has more than one area code.

Task 5

【答案】

A.

1) c, 2) b, 3) a, 4) c, 5) a, 6) c, 7) b, 8) c

B.

1) would have got up on time

2) would have woken up James

3) would have been on the plane that crashed

4) would have lost his life in the crash

【原文】

James wrote a play for television about an immigrant family who came to England from Pakistan, and the problems they had settled down in England. The play was surprisingly successful, and it was bought by an American TV company.

James was invited to go to New York to help with the production. He lived in Dulwich, which is an hour’s journey away from Heathrow. The flight was due to leave at 8:30 am, so he had to be at the airport about 7:30 in the morning. He ordered a mini-cab for 6:30, set his alarm for 5:45, and went to sleep. Unfortunately he forgot to wind the clock, and it stopped shortly after midnight. Also the driver of the mini-cab had to work very late that night and overslept.

James woke with that awful feeling that something was wrong. He looked at his alarm clock. It stood there silently, with the hands pointing to 12:10. He turned on the radio and discovered that it was, in fact, ten to nine. He swore quietly and switched on the electric kettle.

He was just pouring the boiling water into the teapot when the nine o’clock pips sounded on the radio. The announcer began to read the news, “... reports are coming in of a crash near Heathrow Airport. A Boeing 707 bound for New York crashed shortly after taking off this morning. Flight number 2234...” James turned pale.

“My flight,” he said out loud. “If I hadn’t overslept, I’d have been on that plane”.

Task 6

A.

1) 1964, the United States

2) safety belts

3) 40

5) 24

B.

1) They do not smoke while driving.

2) They have had more education than non-users.

3) They know someone who was injured (but not killed) in an automobile accident.

C.

the importance of using seat belts in driving

【原文】

According to the American Automobile Association, since 1964 all cars sold in the United States have been equipped with seat belts. (These are also called safety belts.) Many studies of automobile accidents have shown that safety belts can save lives. One study showed that 40 percent of those killed in auto accidents could have been saved if they had been wearing seat belts.

Unfortunately belts are worn only by a small percentage of drivers and passengers — about 15 percent in cities, and only 9 percent in small towns. And safety belts cannot protect people who do not wear them.

In order to find out what kinds of people do wear seat belts a study was made in seven cities in the United States. The following facts were learned about those who use their safety belt:

1. They do not smoke while driving.

2. They have had more education than non-users.

3. They know someone who was injured (but not killed) in an automobile accident.

Advertisements based on these facts have been printed in newspapers and magazines in order to teach people the importance of using seat belts. But these advertisements have not helped much. Some people believe there should be a law requiring drivers and passengers to use safety belts. In Australia, where there is such a law, deaths in auto accidents have decreased 24 percent.

【原文】

PartⅠ

(Telephone ringing constantly. Sound of key turning in lock, door opening.)

Miss Brown: (answering telephone) Good morning. Blue Star Travel Agency. Can I help you? Mr. Phillips: Is that you, Miss Brown? I’ve been ringing the office for 10 minutes. Where have you been?

Miss Brown: Sorry, Mr. Phillips. I’ve just arrived. The traffic was terrible this morning.

Mr. Phillips: The traffic is still terrible. I’ve been in a traffic jam for more than an hour. Look after the office until I get there. It may take a long time.

Miss Brown: certainly, Mr. Phillips. Good luck.

(Sound of hanging up.)

(to herself) Thank goodness the boss is late too! The first thing I’m going to do is

take my coat off. Then I’m going to sit down and have a cup of coffee. I think I’ll

switch the radio on too.

PartⅡ

(Radio being switched on.)

Radio: Here is a message for all motorists. Most major roads leading in and out of London are congested. Motorists should use alternative routes wherever possible. The time is

now 9:30. Here is the local traffic news.

Announcer: Heavy rain during the night has flooded parts of the South Circular Road. An articulated lorry has broken down on the M1. Traffic is now only 2 lane and moving

very slowly. Strong winds during the night have blown down a number of trees on the

M6 and many sections are not in use. That is the end of the local traffic news. For

more news listen again at 10 o’clock.

(Sound of radio being switched off and door opening.)

Betty: (breathless) Hello, Carol. Sorry, bu t I couldn’t get here earlier.

Miss Brown: Never mind, Betty. Have a cup of coffee and relax.

Part III

(Door open and slammed. Background of typing.)

Miss Brown: Oh, it’s you Mr. Phillips. We’ve been worried about you. Are you all right? Would you like a cup of coffee?

Mr. Phillips: I’m going straight to my office. Are my letters waiting for me? Yes, I would. And some biscuits.

(Door slams.)

Miss White: Phew. What’s the matter with him? Why is he in such a bad mood?

Miss Brown: Let’s make a cup of coffee for him and find out. If you make the coffee, I’ll sp eak to Mr. Phillips.

(Polite knock at door, door opening.)

Miss Brown: We’re making some coffee Mr. Phillips. Would you like to have it with us? You could tell us about your awful journey.

(Background sound of cups.)

Miss White: Was the traffic bad, Mr. Phillips?

Mr. Phillips: Was the traffic bad? We were in traffic jams for three hours. I left home at the usual time and decided to use a new route. For the first time, I used the M4. Never again.

That was because of the storms last night. Then the traffic lights were out of order.

After that there was a breakdown and.., finally, I ran out of petrol.

(Giggles from Miss W. and Miss B. Footsteps. Door slams.)

Task 8

【答案】

1) b, 2) a, 3) c

B.

a) It was chosen because the cost of energy is not so great as with a bus system.

b) It was chosen because it is much easier to carry a greater number of passengers by train than by bus or car.

c) It was chosen because the noise and pollution are not so great as with buses and cars.

C.

1) 12.5, above and below

2) Germany, Canada

3) Calgary

4) 24

5) only one man

6) separate

7) 30 seconds

8) open the doors themselves.

9) automatic ticket machines (placed) on the platforms, zipcards

10) get a $25 fine

【原文】

Calgary is an oil town. It is home for more than half a million Canadians, and this population may well be much closer to three quarters of a million or more by the end of the century. Downtown Calgary is famous: the tall office buildings in the center of the city were in the “Superman” mov ies. But Calgary is also the home of a very modern transport system, and the Light Rail Transit (LRT) is part of it.

The rail system was chosen because the cost of energy is not so great as with a bus system, because it is much easier to carry a greater number of passengers by train than by bus or car, and because the noise and pollution is not so great as with buses and cars.

But what is the LRT? It is a 12.5-kilometre route, above and below ground. The light train cars are made in Germany and Canada. In Germany they are made by Siemens in Dusseldorf, and then taken to Canada where final assembly is done in Calgary. Each car is just over 24 metres long, and each train is operated by only one man — the driver. The driver is in a separate cabin, and he can’t talk to passengers.

The trains stop for about 30 seconds at each station, and passengers who want to get in or out must open the doors themselves.

Automatic ticket machines are placed on the platforms. Passengers can buy a ticket from these, or they can buy special monthly tickets called zipcards. However, if passengers are caught without a ticket they may get a $25 fine.

Task 9

【答案】

A.

1) deaths and people injured

2) drivers, pedestrians, and road conditions

3) may cause drivers and pedestrians endanger lives through no fault of their own

4) too many road signs, faulty traffic lights, sudden narrowing of a street, and congested parking

a) drive too fast and without any consideration for others

b) think they are safe at the wheel even though they have drunk too much alcohol

c) out of some curious sense of power, are incapable of understanding that their car is a lethal

weapon if improperly used

6)

a) step off the pavement without first looking to the left or right

b) cross roads when the traffic lights are against them

c) jump off a moving bus

B.

Pedestrians, drivers and road conditions are all to blame for road accidents.

【原文】

There are far too many road accidents in this country: too many deaths and too many people injured. One wonders who are most to blame: drivers or pedestrians. Some people say that the blame cannot be put fairly without considering the state of the roads and the whole transport system. In crowded cities like London, Birmingham or Manchester, road conditions are so chaotic that both driver and pedestrian often endanger lives through no fault of their own. Such deficiencies as too many road signs, faulty traffic lights, sudden narrowing of a street, congested parking are all a sure indication of bad road conditions.

On the other hand, many experts are convinced that the larger part of the blame for the death toll must be put on persons and persons alone: drivers who drive too fast and without any consideration for others, drivers who think they are safe at the wheel even though they have drunk too much alcohol, drivers who, out of some curious sense of power, are incapable of understanding that their car is a lethal weapon if improperly used. Pedestrians, likewise, must share the guilt: stepping off the pavement without first looking to the left or right, crossing roads when the traffic lights are against them, jumping off a moving bus. To be fair, pedestrians, drivers and road conditions are all to blame.

One looks forward to the day when the motor car has been replaced by some less dangerous means of transport.

Task 10

【答案】

A.

1) 11, 2) Over 400, 3) Over 4,000, 4) $ 400, 5) 60 days

B.

1) Most people are going to die from accidents caused by drunk drivers.

2) Joe’s sister is worried because it’s getting late and he is drunk.

3) The green Ford that Joe is driving is weaving from left to right.

4) When Officer Williams asks Joe to walk along the white line, he can’t do it. Joe also fails the breath test.

5) He’s going to appear in court next week. He is going to receive a $400 fine. The judge is also going to suspend his license for sixty days.

C.

enjoying, family party, leave, stay, wait, drives, fine, slowly, had, drinks

【原文】

It’s a holiday weekend. The police officers were sitting in a hot room receiving instructions from their captain. One of these officers was Ed Williams. He and ten other officers were on special duty. This weekend alone, over 400 people are going to die from accidents caused by drunk drivers. Over 4,000 people are going to receive serious injuries, all caused by drunk drivers. The officers are going to try to prevent these accidents before they happen．

Meanwhile, Joe Forest is enjoying himself at a family party. It’s getting late and he’s telling his sister that he’s going to leave. She’s asking him to stay and wait a few hours before he drives. “Don’t worry. I’m going to be fine. I’m going to drive slowly. I only had a few drinks.”

Officer Williams is at a toll booth, watching cars enter the area. A green Ford is approaching, weaving from left to right. Officer Williams stops the car and tells Joe to get out. He asks Joe to walk along the white line. Joe can’t do it. Joe also fails the breath test. Officer Williams is telling Joe that he’s going to issue him a summons. And he can’t drive his car home. Joe calls his sister. She’s going to come and drive him home.

This was Joe’s first offense. He’s going to appear in court next week. He is going to receive a $400 fine. The judge is also going to suspend his license for 60 days. This first time, other drivers were lucky. Joe didn’t kill them. But what about the future, is Joe going to stop drinking and driving?

Task 11

【答案】

If you are a daily Transit rider, carry a zipcard. It’s quick, convenient and gives you unlimited rides on any regular Calgary Transit service. The zipcard saves you money too! Pay the adult fare of 90c, twice a day for 22 working days each month, adds up to $39.60. But a zipcard costs just $31 a month. It also saves you the extra 10c on all express buses. Buy a zipcard and take advantage of the best way to ride.

大学英语听力教学心得

大学英语听力教学心得 庞静 相对于其他正规院校的本科生来说，高职生的英语基础较差，平均水平不高。从英语听力课的教学来看，其不足主要表现为词汇量少，语音语感较差，知识面窄，独立进行分析判断能力不足，从而反应较慢。除此之外，高职生在英语听力学习方面的不足还表现为缺乏良好的英语听力的自我控制能力和逻辑思维能力，缺乏良好的听力习惯，缺乏应有的自学能力，这一切都无形中构成了高职生英语听力学习的障碍。在我上的大学英语听力的部分系部表现的特别明显。教材是教学的依据，教材的选用和利用对于教学来讲意义重大。虽说我们学校的大学英语听力选用了不同的教材——外语系选用的大学英语听力；人文系选用的英语教程；音乐美术系选用的实用英语。但由于系部不同班级的学生水平也参差不齐，所以因材施教显得尤为重要。 外语系学生相对英语成绩相对较好，大部分学生的学习积极性都比较高。处在这个竞争愈来愈激烈的社会中，他们强烈地感受到自身的不足，从而有着很高的学习积极性。但同时也有相当一部分同学由于种种原因或自卑不前，或自满松懈，或心不在焉，学习态度和学习成绩均和前者有着很大差距，形成两极分化。外语系选用的教材中每个单元由三部分组成：第一部分通常是语音练习，它对于纠正学生的发音很有帮助。教师在完成这一部分的听力练习之后可以接着让学生跟读，模仿，从单词到长句，循序渐进。同时讲解相应的发音规则。第二部分通常是对话和短文。由于部分学生基础较差，如果按照机械的程序从讲解词汇，介绍背景，播放录音直至完成练习，他们会感到十分吃力。于是我一般在讲完词汇和介绍完背景之后，先把所要播放的录音内容概述一下，当然语速要慢。这样可以给学生留下一定的适应时间，帮助他们理解接下来的内容。第三部分是口头练习，这一部分往往会被忽略，我认为这是十分可惜的。不妨让学生根据所听的内容编排对话，复述大意或进行主题讨论，将听与说结合，把听到的内容用自己的语言表达出来。语言是交流的工具，而交流则包涵了由听到说的过程。听是说的基础，听最终要服务于说。 人文系现在的英语教程听力没个单元有不同的话题，围绕这个话题从report 来引出话题，这部分比较简单。然后10个段对话，1个长对话，1个短文听力。这部分听完，再简单讲解一下基本上要花一节课的时间。对于学生的认知，45分钟都在不停的听，做题目无疑会走神，事倍功半，往往是开始20分钟效率特别高，然后就思想松散了听的有一句没一句的。休息5分钟后按照课本内容是听电影片段做填词。这部分联系简单但由于是原声电影说话的语速很快而且连读，省略都很多，加之听力疲劳。所以效果也不佳。我觉得还是听与说要结合交替进

大学英语5听力上海外语教育出版社 lesson 1 partA problems facing foreign students Today I'd like to talk about some of the problems that students face when they follow a cource of study through the medium of English--if English is not their mother tongue. The problems can be divided into three broad categories: psychological ,cultural and linguistic. The first two categories mainly affect those who come to study in Britain from Asia and Africa.I'll come to comment only briefy on these two categories and then spend most of the time looking at linguistic difficulties which apply to everyone. some of the common psychological problems really involve fear of unknown: for example,whether one's academic studies will be too difficult.Looking at the cultural problems,we can see that some of them are very practical nature, for example , arranging satisfactory accommodation.Others are less easy to define.

现代大学英语听力UNIT原文及答案

Unit 4 Task 1 【答案】 A. 1) They are farms that grow vegetables for city people to eat fresh. 2) It’s a farm that grow plants and flowers to sell. 3) They protect the plants from the cold in the winter but let them get plenty of light, so the plants can be grown all through the year. B. 1) canned, frozen 2) flowers, garden plants, home gardens, yards, window boxes 3) buildings, furniture, firewood 【原文】 Grain, vegetables and fruits are found on most farms. All of them are food for animals and people. Grain can be fed to animals just as it is harvested. But before people use them grains are usually made into flour or breakfast cereal. Bread, macaroni（通心粉）, and cereals（麦片）all come from grain. Tomatoes, beans, potatoes, beets（甜菜）, lettuce（生菜）, carrots and onions are field and garden vegetables. Can you think of any others Vegetables are good for people and for some animals such as pigs and rabbits. Farms that grow vegetables for city people to eat fresh are called truck farms. Truck farms are usually close to big cities. Each day hundreds of loads of fresh vegetables are brought to stores on the farmers' trucks. Without the truck farmers people in cities would not eat well. And without city people who eat fresh vegetables, the truck farmers would have no work. There are many kinds of fruit. Apples, pears, peaches, cherries, oranges, grapefruit, and berries are a few kinds. You will be able to think of other kinds that you like. Most fruit is grown on specialized farms. But many general farms have some fruit to use and sell also. Like vegetables, fruit is sold fresh in markets. But a large part of both fruit and vegetable crops is sent to factories to be canned or frozen. In warm parts of our country farmers grow cotton, rice, tobacco, sugar cane（甘蔗）, and peanuts. Specialized farms raise flowers and garden plants. They are sold to florists（花商）and to families for home gardens, or yards, or window boxes. A farm that grow plants and flowers to sell is called a nursery（苗圃）. Most nurseries have glass buildings, called hothouses or greenhouses. The hothouses are heated to protect the plants from cold in the winter but let them get plenty of light, so they can be grown all through the year. Some farms grow only trees. Some of these are Christmas tree farms. Others are large forests where trees are grown for their wood. The wood is used for buildings, furniture and firewood. Some tree farms grow only nut trees.

大学英语听力教学模式 [摘要]本文针对目前大学英语教学改革中对学习者听力要求的不断提高与有限的听力教学之间的矛盾,利用在新生当中进行的有关听力方面的调查结果,归纳并分析讨论了EFL学习者在听力方面存在的问题, 指出EFL学习者在提高听力理解方面存在着诸多需要教师帮助解决的问题,并对大学英语听力教学模式提出了一些建议。 [关键词] 听力障碍;教学模式;听力技能 一、引言 听力理解一直是中国英语学习者在英语学习方面比较头痛的一个问题。随着大学英语教学改革的不断深入,听力理解题目在大学英语测试中所占的比例已达到35%。然而学生的听力课时仍然极其有限,通常平均每周为1-2节。无疑,教师面临着如何在有限的课时内进行有效的听力教学的严峻挑战。传统的听力教学模式中,教师很少去教学生怎样听,而更多的只是将大量的视听材料“灌”给学生,认为学生在接触过大量的听力内容之后便会自然而然地获得听力方面的技能,无需向学生讲授如何去听。教学中,多数教师遵循着同一种固定的模式——打开课本,讲解生词,播放磁带或光盘,提问/回答问题,给出答案。长此以往,学生会发现这种教学模式远远没有解决自己听力上的问题,进而对这种单调的教学模式失去兴趣,而学习者学习兴趣的丧失便成为了英语听力学习中最大的障碍。因此,作为教师很有必要在如何讲授听力课程方面寻找新的思路。 二、英语学习者的听力障碍 在学生中多次进行的问卷调查结果显示,听力理解成为学习者的头痛问题主要源于以下几个方面的障碍: 1. 听力理解过程的认识 对于听力理解过程的认识多数学习者只停留在“听一段材料,然后能够知道材料里说的是什么,并能回答设置的相关题目”这一层面上,对于听力理解到底是一种什么样的过程其实并不清楚。Howatt and Dakin 指出听力理解要求听者能够在接受说话者的语音、理解其语言中的词汇、语法的基础上判断和领会其所说的内容。要实现这一过程,听者需要具备一系列的听力技能,即我们通常所说的微技能。听力微技能包括: (1)预想说话者会说什么;
