A Speech During Freshmen’s Week

I would first of all like to welcome you all to the college.

I know you have all worked hard in order to get here

and I hope you will find all your effort has been worthwhile

and that we will be able to help you achieve

your ambitions as far as possible.

Please make use of our facilities to the full and

if you are in any doubt of what we have to offer,

please do not hesitate to ask.

I would like to make clear to you your part of the contract,

which you must fulfil if you wish us to fulfil ours.

Learning, as I’m sure you realise is a two way process

and without a significant investment from you,

all our efforts will come to nothing.

Now, about class attendance.

You are required to attend 80% of classes.

If you do not do so,

we will not be able to give you a certificate of attendance

should you require one for any particular purpose.

In other words,

we will not regard you as having followed the course at all.

The compulsory courses are those classes

you take in your assigned groups.

In a minute, Mr. Lucas will tell you which group you are in.

The extra, individual work available in the laboratory

or the computer room is, of course, optional.

In addition to classwork,

you are supposed to put in 3-4 hours a day of private study.

This year we have changed our methods of assessment,

in an effort to get away from the formal examination

and move towards a system which better reflects work done throughout the year. You are required to hand in 5 pieces of written work

as part of your final assessment-

these you may choose from your class assignments.

At the end of the course

there will be a formal examination consisting of 3 three-hour papers.

You do not have to take the last of these-

you can submit a 10, 000 word extended essay instead.

You should discuss the title of this with your tutor.

You can obtain more details about the examination from your tutor.

On a more practical note,

we do not want to have too many rules and regulations,

but for the sake of public safety and comfort there must be some.

It is expressly forbidden to smoke in the classrooms

as this poses a fire hazard.

We also ask that you do not take food and drink into the classrooms.

About your dorm.

You are not permitted to put up overnight guests in your rooms.

Similarly, we can’t allow you to entertain more than

5 guests during the day in your rooms,

as this causes a disturbance.

If you wish to hold larger parties,

please reserve the common room for that purpose.

We hope that you will find these rules reasonable

and enjoy your stay with us.

I will now hand you back to Miss Johnson,

who will assign you to your groups.

Now, you have TWO minutes to complete your work.

THIS IS THE END OF SECTION A TALK.

SECTION B CONVERSATIONS

英语专业四级TEM4听力听写原文1993—2013

英语专业四级考试1993年——203年听写原文 1993 Package Holidays Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive place, are increasingly popular. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination．Everything is laid on for you．There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother to arrange anything yourselves．You make friends and have a good time. But there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people．This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time traveling．Of course, there are carefully planned stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient. But time is always short．There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend you holiday with a group of people you have never met before． (1994) The American Family The American family unit is changing. There used to be mainly two types of families, the extended and the nuclear. The former included mother, father, children, and some other relatives such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby. Then as the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people began moving to different parts of the country in order to search for job opportunities. These moves split up the extended family. The nuclear family consisting of only parents and children has therefore become far more wide spread. Today’s family, however, can be composed of diverse co mbinations. With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there's an increase in single-parent homes—a father or mother living with one or more children. Blended families occur when divorced men and women remarry and combine the children from former marriages into a new family. On the other hand, there is an increase in childless couples while one in rive Americans lives alone. (1995) Unidentified Flying Objects There are many explanations for why UFOs visit the Earth. / The most popular one is that they maybe visitors from other planets./ To fly such aircraft, their builders must develop different forms of aviation,/because they seem to fly much faster than normal aircraft./ The UFOs, it is believed, must contain scientists/ from other planets who are studying life on earth./ It is even believed that several such aircraft may have landed on earth/ and the space visitors may be living amongst us./ But there are also less fantastic explanations available./ Although some sightings of UFOs are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily./ In many cases the observers might have made a mistake./ They might have seen a weather balloon or an aircraft./ Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground,/ reflected on to the clouds./ However, the exact cause of many sightings still remained a mystery.

On Sunday, the castle’s owner John Gordon, 76, was forced to move out his property after the River Dee swept away about 60 feet of land, leaving the castle dangerous close to the river. According to the Scottish Daily Record. Abergeldie castle located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland was built by Sir Alexander Gordon of Midmar who later became the Earl of Huntly. The castle which is located on 11,700 acres was leased to members of the royal family between 1848 and 1970, including King Edward VII and George V. The Scottish Environment Protection Agency has issued more than 35 flood warnings covering several regions, as Scotland continues to clean up the after Storm Frank hit the country last Wednesday. “This means that rivers will rise more slowly, but then stay high for much longer.” the environmental agency said. Q1. Why did John Gordon move out of Abergeldie castle? Q2. What happened in Scotland last Wednesday? Section A - 2 Rescue efforts were underway Thursday morning for 17 miners who were stuck in an elevator below ground at a Cargill rock salt mine near Lansing, New York, according to Marcia Lynch. Public information officer with Tompkins County’s emergency response department, emergency workers have made contact with the miners via a radio. And they all appear to be uninjured, said Jessica Verfuss, the emergency department’s assistant director. Crews have managed to provide heat packs and blankets to the miners so that they can keep warm during the rescue operation, Verfuss said. Details about what led to the workers’ being trapped in the elevator went immediately available. The mine, along New York’s Cayuga Lake, processes salt used for road treatment. It produces about 2 million tons of salt that is shipped to more than 1,500 places in the northeastern United States, the rock salt mine is one of three operated by Cargill with the other two in Louisiana and Ohio. Q3. What does the news report say about the salt miners? Q4.What did the rescue team do? Section A - 3 The U.S. Postal Service announced today that it is considering closing about 3,700 post offices over the next year because of falling revenues. Facing an $8.3 billion budget deficit this year, closing post officers is one of several proposals the Postal Service has put forth recently to cut costs. Last week, for
