[00：31.46]are true or false. Writer "T" for true and "F" for false.
[00：41.26]A potato farmer was sent to prison just at the time
[00：49.43]when he should have been digging the ground
for planting the new crop of potatoes.
[00：58.43]He knew that his wife would not be strong enough to do the digging by herself,
[01：06.92]but that she could manage to do the planting;
[01：12.50]and he also knew that he did not have any friends or neighbors
[01：20.06]who would be willing to do the digging for him.
[01：25.90]" Please do not dig the potato field. I hid
the money and the gun there."
[01：35.65]Ten days later he got a letter from his wife. It said,
[01：43.93]" I think somebody is reading your letters before they go out of the prison.
[01：52.54]Some policemen arrived here two days ago and dug up the whole potato field.
[02：01.86]What shall I do now?"The prisoner wrote back at once,

[03：14.18]and he also knew that he did not have any friends or neighbors
[03：21.89]who would be willing to do the digging for him.
[03：27.68]So he wrote a letter to his wife which said,
[03：33.84]" Please do not dig the potato field. I hid
the money and the gun there."

[04：38.82]and fill in the table with the information you get from the tape.
[04：45.12]The manager of a large office building
[04：50.05]received many complaints about the lift service in the building.
[04：56.50]He hired a group of engineers to study the situation.
[05：02.18]They suggested two solutions：
[05：07.19]1. adding more lifts of the same type;
[05：14.03]2. replacing the lifts with faster ones.
[05：20.18]The manager decided that both suggestions were too expensive.
[05：27.10]So he asked a psychologist to study the problem.
[05：33.18]The psychologist noticed that many people felt
[05：39.01]angry and impatient because they thought they had to wait too long for the lift.
[05：47.65]However,the psychologist found that they only had to wait a relatively short time.
[05：56.94]It occurred to him that the reason they felt angry and impatient
[06：04.28]was that they had nothing to do while they were waiting for the lifts.
[06：11.09]He suggested a simple,inexpensive solution to the manager.
[06：18.00]This was adopted and complaints stopped immediately.
[06：25.27]The solution was to place a large mirror next to the lifts.

《现代大学英语听力2》听力原文及题目答案Unit 4Unit 4 Task 1 【答案】 1) They were orphans and had nobody to support them. 2) Each boy was given only one bowl of gruel for supper and no more —far from enough. 3) They boys were so hungry that they could not bear it any more. They decided that tone of them must ask the master for more gruel. Olive Twist was chosen by casting lots. 4) He never thought that any boy would dare to ask for more food than the given portion. Therefore, he was both surprised and angry on hearing Oliver’s request. 5) He was struck on the head by the master and pushed out of the room. And for a week Olive remained prisoner in the cellar. 【原文】 Oliver Twist had no parents and lived in the workhouse. The room in which the boys had their food was a large stone hall. Each boy was given one bowl of gruel and no more. The bowls never needed washing. The boys polished them with their spoons. But still the boys were hungry. Oliver Twist and the other boys suffered from slow starvation for three months. At last they got so wild with hunger that one of the boys, who was tall for his age, said: "If this goes on, I am afraid I shall eat the boy who sleeps next me." He had wild hungry eyes and the boys believed him. The boys gathered and thought of a plan. "One of us must walk up to the master at supper this evening and ask for more gruel," said one boy. "Let us east lots," said another. "In that way we shall see who must go up to the master and ask for more." So they cast lots. The lot fell to Oliver Twist. He had to go up to the master

Unit 1 Task 1 【答案】 A. unusual, whatever, escape, traditions, present, grey, moulded, shape, here B. 1) Students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance. 2) When people went anywhere on a visit, the pretty English girls all kissed them. 3) Erasmus, Bacon, Milton, Cromwell, and Newton (or Wordsworth, Byron, Tennyson, etc.) 【原文】 My coming to Cambridge has been an unusual experience. From whatever country one comes as a student one cannot escape the influence of the Cambridge traditions---and they go back so far! Here, perhaps, more than anywhere else, I have felt at one and the same time the past, the present and even the future. It’s easy to see in the old grey stone buildings how the past moulded the present and how the present is giving shape to the future. So let me tell you a little of what this university town looks like and how it came to be here at all. The story of the University began, so far as I know, in 1209 when several hundred students and scholars arrived in the little town of Cambridge after having walked 60 miles from Oxford. Of course there were no colleges in those early days and student life was very different from what it is now. Students were of all ages and came from anywhere and everywhere. They were armed; some even banded together to rob the people of the countryside. Gradually the idea of the college developed, and in 1284, Peterhouse, the oldest college in Cambridge, was founded. Life in college was strict; students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance. Books were very scarce and all the lessons were in the Latin language which students were supposed to speak even among themselves. In 1440 King Henry VI founded King’s College, and the other colleges followed. Erasmus, the great Dutch scholar, was at one of these, Queens’ College, from 1511 to 1513, and though he wrote that the college beer was “weak and badly made”, he also mentioned a pleasant custom that unfor tunately seems to have ceased. “The English girls are extremely pretty,” Erasmus said, “soft, pleasant, gentle, and charming. When you go anywhere on a visit the girls all kiss you. They kiss you when you arrive. They kiss you when you go away and again when you return.” Many other great men studied at Cambridge, among them Bacon, Milton, Cromwell, Newton, Wordsworth, Byron and Tennyson. Task 2 【答案】 A. 1) a) 2) b) 3) a) 4) c) B. 1) They usually wear black gowns—long gowns that hang down to the feet are for graduates, and shorter ones for undergraduates. 2) Women students do not play a very active part in university life at Cambridge, but they work harder than men. C. 1) meadows, green, peaceful, bending into, intervals, deep coloured, reflection, contrasts, lawns 2) peace, scholarship, peace, suggest, stretches, charmingly cool, graceful 【原文】 Now let me give you some idea of what you would see if you were to talk around Cambridge. Let us imagine that I am seeing the sights for the first time. It is a quite market town and the shopping centre extends for quite a large area, but I notice more bookshops than one normally sees in country towns, and more tailors’ shops showing in their windows the black gowns that students must wear—long gowns that hang down to the feet for graduates and shorter

Unit1 One day Palph Waldo Emerson, one of America’s greatest thinkers and philosophers, was visited by a local farmer, who saw a book by Plato in Emerson’s library and asked to borrow it. When the farmer returned the book, Emerson asked him how he liked it. The farmer replied, “I liked it. this Plato has a lot of my ideas” During an 18-month period in his early 20s, Sir Isaac Newton invented theories of gravity, light, and color, as well as calculus. At age 85, shortly before his death, he wrote, “I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself le and in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. UNIT2 Human beings misuse the precious fresh water in two ways. It is wasted through careless use and polluted by dumping wastes into it. People build large cities in deserts and grow crops in dry valleys. In the worl d’s dry places, people must learn to avoid waste, to make every gallon count.People pollute water by dumping sewage and industrial wastes into it or by letting pesticides from farm land run into it. Even ground water is polluted by poisons sinking into the earth. Humanity must learn that nothing just “goes away”. People need to treat sewage so it does not pollute the water. They need to keep industrial wastes completely out of the water. UNIT3 When Superman burst onto the screen 60 years ago there had never been a character quite like him, and he remains unique today. The innumerable imitators who followed in his wake have acknowledged his primacy by taking on the title of super hero, but Superman did more than start the trend that came to define the American comic book. His influence spread throughout all known media as he became a star of animated cartoons, radio, recordings, books, motion pictures, and television, whil his image appeared on products ranging from puzzles to peanut butter. He is perhaps the first fictional character to have been so successfully promoted as a universal icon, yet he also continues to remain a publishing phenomenon whose adventures appear in no fewer than five monthly comics magazines. UNIT4 The Chinese have long believed that flexible brush is the perfect means to express one’s inner spirit. Thus calligraphy with ink on paper or silk, whether by scholars, poets, monks, or government officials, is often considered the highest form of art. Great masterworks from earlier periods such as the Tang Dynasty were used as modals for the proper style and the proportion of the more than 50,000 Chinese characters. There were also a number of different scripts to choose from. Ancient seal script, used even today for carving seals, conveys an archaic flavor, as does clerical script, developed in the Han Dynasty by clerks to record government documents. Calligraphy, however, could also be written in regular, running, or cursive script, not unlike our own choices in English-for example, most of us do not write the small letter a in the printed form, but in more rapid pencil or pen movement. Similarly, Chinese calligraphers usually preferred less formal and more dramatic styles of brushwork to regular
