Directions: In this section, you will hear several short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Passage One

Choosing your neighborhood is probably the most important step in finding a home. Your neighborhood partly determines your personal safety. It affects the education of your children and of the children around you. Your neighborhood affects the way you feel about your life, as well as your enjoyment of your home. Here are some tips for finding a neighborhood to live in. First, you should start by driving around the areas that you find inviting. You may want to start with areas near your home or near schools that you know are good, or that your children are attending. You may also start near the home of relatives or close friends. While driving, be sure to record the names of neighborhoods that attract you. Second, collect sales and rental information. If you are looking to buy a home, take a sales booklet from each home that provides one for the public. This will help you get an idea of what the neighborhood has to offer, and the price range of house. This will also help you avoid an area that you can't afford. If you are renting, write down phone numbers and call the owners. Last but not least, once you have narrowed down where you want to live and are at the point of making final decisions, drive through the neighborhoods at later hours. It's a good time to check out how safe the area is. Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard.

1.Choosing a good neighborhood is very important because _____.

A.you have to live there forever

B.you can't always live in the same place

C.it is about the education of your children

D.it affects your health

2.Where can you start if you want to research the area by driving?

A.Near supermarkets.

B.Near good schools.

C.Near good restaurants.

D.Near poor households.

3.If you want to buy a house in the neighborhood, you should ____.

A.ask your neighbors

B.collect sales booklets

C.call your friends

D.collect rental information

4.Why is it important to know the price range of house?

A.Because you can avoid areas that you can't afford.

B.Because you will be better prepared for settling down.

C.Because you can borrow money as early as possible.

D.Because you can know whether people living there are rich or

not.

5.Before making your final decision, you should ____.

A.call a real estate agent

B.visit your future neighbors

C.bring your family to the neighborhood and listen to their

opinions

D.drive through the neighborhood at later hours

Passage Two

Once upon a time people knew and depended upon their neighbors. With speed and technology we have become ever more separated from each other. As income becomes limited, prices rise and some people lose their jobs, we can become less dependent on strangers and more dependent on neighbors and family. Maybe we can find more riches in creating a caring, pleasant community where we live. One way to do that is to stop by your neighbor's house to say hello or wish them a happy holiday. If a neighbor is aging, is a single parent or has lost a job, he or she may be too proud to ask for a hand. Maybe you can assist in some way. If you have extras, such as party gifts, books, handmade gifts, children's clothes, ask your neighbors if they might be interested. It's all done in the spirit of sharing, not charity. Your neighbors might even have offerings you'll appreciate in return at some point. If you are entertaining and know you have neighbors who are alone during the holidays, invite them to join you. Even if they don't come, they're likely to feel less lonely knowing someone cared to ask. Maybe the biggest gift we can give is the gift of ourselves. As people gather together to help each other, they grow stronger. Then wonderful friendships will be established, lives will be improved or even saved, and laughter will be born, if we reach out to our neighbors!

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.

1.As prices rise and people lose their jobs, we can become more dependent on ____.

A.the country

B.our neighbors

C.the local government

D.ourselves

2.What is TRUE about a neighbor who is a single and jobless parent?

A.He or she will ask others for help.

B.He or she will stay at home.

C.He or she will be too proud to ask for help.

D.He or she will make no friends.

3.You can share extras with your neighbors, such as ____.

A.food leftovers

B.yesterday's newspaper

C.children's clothes

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/2e5108297.html,ed cars

4.What if a lonely neighbor refuses your invitation to a home party?

A.You will feel humiliated.

B.You will not become friends.

C.He will certainly invite you next time.

D.He will feel less lonely.

5.The biggest gift we can offer is ____.

My house is in a thick forest in Florida and we are experiencing a severe drought this year. Friday night my neighbor held a big party. I don't mind the loud music or rude guests. But they lit a fire deep in their backyard at the edge of the woods. I was scared and I called the fire department. They came and frankly must have been friends with half the party. When I asked them just as they pulled out, the fireman said he told them to put it out. Obviously they did nothing! The fire was not really put out. Today, at noon, the woods caught on fire behind my house. It took 25 men and two bush trucks six hours to put it out.

Directions: Look at the picture below, which is about two neighbors. It seems the woman has helped the man with something and he is thanking her. You are required to play the man and deliver your thanks. Your presentation should consist of three parts: 1) what she has done for you;

收稿日期:2003-02-21 作者简介:顾红曦(1965~),女,上海人,广东技术师范学院讲师,研究方向为英美女性文学,语言与文化,英语教学法。陆道夫(1963-),男,安徽六安人,广东技术师范学院副教授,主要从事美国现当代小说、英语教学实践、中西比较文论等研究。 广东技术师范学院学报 2003年第2期 Journal of Guangdong Polytechnic Normal Universi ty No.2,2003 从新托福考试看英语听力训练 顾红曦1 陆道夫 2 (1广东技术师范学院大学英语部,广东广州 510665;2广东技术师范学院外语系,广东广州 510665) 摘 要:即将于2004年正式开始的新托福考试目前已经通过美国ETS 中心设计的 LanguEdge (锋利英语)教程中的考题模型呈现出来,新托福的宗旨基本上是对听、说、读、写综合应用能力的真正考查。新托福试题的内容和题型变得更加贴近北美大学学习和生活的实用需求。相对于旧托福而言,新托福明显增加了我国众多考生明显薄弱的听、说两个环节。新托福不仅将会给中国的英语教学带来一个新的冲击,促进我国英语教学的改革,而且还会给我们的听力教学带来不少有益的启示。 关键词:新托福;英语听力;听力训练;教学;学生 中图分类号:H 319 文献标识码:A 文章编号:1672-402X (2003)02-0097-05 一、新托福考试的宗旨和题型设计 TOEFL(Test of English as a Foreign Language,汉语称之为托福)自从1978年首次引入我国大陆地区,至今已有二十五年的历史了。在此期间,TOEFL 考试的题型曾作过多次调整,听力、语法、词汇和阅读三个部分的难度也逐渐加大。从2000年起,E TS(美国教育考试服务中心)便开始组织美国20多家大学的专家,包括第一线的教授、讲师,成立了 托福2000小组 (TOEFL Group 2000),着手研究制定一套新的托福考试与教育体系。他们广泛调查美国大学教师与学生的意见,即 外国学生到美国上大学,应该具备什么程度的英语水平? 然后定出新的考试标准和方案。即将于2004年正式开始的新托福考试目前已经通过E TS 中心设计的 LanguEdge (锋利英语)教程中的考题模型呈现出来。 LanguEdge(锋利英语)是E TS 中心专门设计用于提高非英语国家的留学生的学术英语技能,帮助他们熟悉或准备新TOE FL 考试的系统,LanguEdge 中的练习和测试环境和新TOEFL 的考试环境非常类似。二者皆取材于北美校园里的学术语境或教学语 境。显而易见,LanguEdge 并不是为英语初学者而设计的,而是针对那些达到中、高级英语水平的学习者。美国ETS 中心国际开发部亚太区总监苏珊 秦谈及新托福的宗旨和托福变革的动机时指出,旧托福是一种 以选择题型为主的考试,时间久了难免出现高分低能的现象,不能准确地反映考生真正的语言应用能力。 而新托福 基本上是对听、说、读、写综合应用能力的真正考查。比如,词汇不一定会比以前的托福考试难,但如果仅想靠死记硬背而得高分就比较困难。如果你能够得到一个真实的好成绩,那么你到英语国家可以马上进入生活与学习。 旧托福中大量的选择、判断题等题型,在新托福中被减至仅占总题量的10%~15%,对语言知识点的考试被大量地揉进了应用能力的考查之中。新托福的评判标准也首先着眼于理解与运用,其次才是表达的精确性,例如,即使考生错一、两个单词,或者语法上出了点小错,但只要你能够表达自己的意思,别人可以懂得你的意思,都不会扣分。新托福考试采用E-RATER 评分系统,主要是计算机评分,但口语部分的试题仍然采用人工评分。 新托福试题分为听、说、读、写四个部分。它的 97

听力教程第二版第二册Unit-3答案

Unit3 Section One T actics for Listening

Part2 Listening and Note-taking A Territory When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space. Animals have their territories, which they mark out with their personal scent. The scent is their territorial signal. Human beings have other territorial signals. There are three kinds of human territory, marked by different territorial signals. First, there are the Tribal T erritories, which in modem terms are known as countries. Countries have a number of territorial signals. The borders are often guarded by soldiers and they usually have customs barriers, flags, and signs. Other signals of the tribal territory are uniforms and national anthems. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country and, while he is there, he must behave like a visitor. Second, there is the Family T erritory, at the center of which is the bedroom. This is usually as far away as possible from the front door. Between the bedroom and the front door are the spaces where visitors are allowed to enter. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house. As soon as they come up the driveway or walk through the front door -- the first signals of family territory -- they are in an area which does not belong to them. They do not feel at home, because it is full of other people's belongings -- from the flowers in the garden to the chairs, tables, carpets, ornaments, and other things in the house. In the same way, when a family goes to the beach or to the park for a picnic, they mark out a small territory with towels, baskets, and other belongings; other families respect this, and try not to sit down right beside them. Finally, there is the Personal T erritory. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space. If a man enters a waiting room and sits at one end of a row of chairs, it is possible to predict where the next man will sit. It won't be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between. In a crowded space like a train, we can't have much personal territory, so we stand looking straight in front of us with blank faces. We don't look at or talk to anyone around us. Exercise A: 1. When we talk about a territory, we mean a defended space. 2. These signals are important, because they warn the visitor that he is entering a foreign country. 3. People behave differently when they're in someone else's house. 4. In public places, people automatically mark out an area of personal space. 5. It won't be next to him or at the other end of the room, but halfway between.
