Conversation1

Li:What a wonderful view! This is such a great city!Do you ever get tired of living in London, Andy?

A;"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford"

Li:That's a quotation by Samuel Johnson, isn't it?

A:Correct,so do you have any plans when you finish at Oxford?

Li: I've got another year to go and then I suppose I'll go back home.

A; And you will find a job?

Li:I think I have to do my Master's before I look for work.But I must admit London is very special.Do you think you would ever leave London?

A:Sure, I'd love to come to china one day, and I like traveling. But i think I'll always come back here.

Li:Well, your roots are here and there are so many opportunities.

A;But have you ever thought of living in London for a year or two?

Li:Yes, but what could I do here? I had planned to become a teacher.But i have often thought if there was a job i could do here in publishing,maybe as an editor, I'll go for it. A:That's sounds like a great idea.I think that would really suit you

Li:Maybe I should update my CV and send it to one or two publisher.

A:Don't make it look too good

Li:Why not?

A;Well,if you enjoy working with London Time Off, we don't want you working with anyone else

Li:Oh, working with you and Joe it's great fun and really interesting. I couldn't think of a better way to find out about a city

A;So maybe you should think about applying for a job with us

Li:But do you think I'd stand a chance(有可能，有希望)?I mean, I'm not sure if Joe likes me

A:Don't even think about it!Joe is very straight talking and I promise you that you'd know if he didn't like you.

Li:Perhaps we should both update our CVs and look for jobs together A:Hey,right!That would be fun.

Conversation2

Li:Talking about future plans,how do you see your career developing?

A:My career?Well, I like working for London Time Off.It's a part of a larger media company called Lift off USA,so there are lots of opportunities.But...

Li:But...What?

A:It's not always very easy working with Joe.I mean,I kind of think he has a different agenda（different way of thinking from Andy不一样的想法）.I like his work, but sometimes I don't think his heart is in his job.

Li:How did he end up in London?

A:He did media studies in the States,and then found work as a gofer（杂工）at Lift off USA in New York.

Li:What's a gofer?

A:Go for this,go for that.It's a word for the least experienced person in the film and TV industry.Then he came to London and got a proper job as a researcher at Lift off UK,and then after a few years he got the producer's job in London Time Off

Li:He is good at his job,isn't he?

A:Yes,he is confident and competent at what he does,so the people who work with him rate him quite highly（speak highly of）.

Li:Except you?

A:No,I rate him too.And I get on with him quite well,although we are not best budies or anything like that,it's just...I want his job!

Li:Now we know your little secret.I promise I won't tell anyone

A:Janet,there was something I was going to ask you...

Li:Sure,what is it?

A:I was wondering...oh,it's nothing.Anyway,all this talk about your future career is making me thirsty.Let's go for a drink.

Li:Who is round ?

A:You...

Passage1

“It’s not enough to ask what successful people are like...It is only by asking where they are from that we can unravel阐明the 1.logic逻辑；理由behind who succeed and who doesn't."

This is the basic idea of an intriguing有趣的book called Outliers局外人, by the American journalist Malcolm Gladwell. The book 2.explores探索the factors which contribute to促成people who are 3.extremely非常地successful in their careers, for example, the role that family, culture and friendship play.

Gladwell examines检查the causes of why the 4.majority大多数of Canada ice hockey 冰球players are born in the first few months of the calendar日历year, what the founder 建立者of Microsoft Bill Gates did to achieve his 5.extraordinary非凡的success, and why the Beatles 6.managed to能够redefine重新定义the whole of popular music in the 1960s.

Gladwell points out that the youth hockey league in Canada 7.recruits招收from January the first, so that players born early in the year are bigger, stronger and better athletes than others born later in the year. And because they have this 8.advantage优势at the start of their sports career, they‘re given extra 9.coaching辅导, and so there’s a greater chance that they‘ll be picked for an elite精英的hockey team in the future.

He calls this 10.phenomenon现象accumulative累积的advantage, a bit like the idea that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Success depends on the 11.process过程by which talented有天赋的athletes are 12.identified确认as much as it does on their own abilities.

Another 13.aspect方面which contributes to success is the 10000 hour rule. Great success demands an 14.enormous大量的amount of time for practice and training. For example, the Beatles performed live in Hamburg Germany more than 1200 times over four years, much more than the 10000 hours Gladwell 15.claims宣称is necessary for great success. So by the time they returned to England, they had developed their talent and sounded completely different from any other group.

In the same way, Bill Gates had thousands of hours’worth值…的量of programming 编程because he had 16.access使用to a computer at his high school. He also became a teenager just at the right time to take advantage of the https://www.wendangku.net/doc/7b4845311.html,test最新的developments in computer technology. All through the book, Gladwell repeats his claim that it’s not just talent or 18.genius天才which 19.determines决定someone’s success, but opportunity, advantage and even simple good luck.

Outliers has met with extraordinary success, matched比得上only by Gladwell‘s own career for 25 years in journalism新闻业. As a result, many critics评论家have seen it as an autobiography自传, in which the writer appears to be 20.apologizing道歉；辩解for his own personal achievements. But the idea that you have to be born at the right moment, in the right place and in the right family, and then you have to work really hard is a thought-provoking引人深思的way of revisiting our traditional view of genius and great achievement. It’s certainly worth reading, as long as只要you don't take it too seriously. Passage1 P8-3选择题答案bdac

Unit 2 A good read

Conversation1

Joe: OK, when you finished chatting, let's get down to work.

Andy: OK, sure.

Janet: Fine by me. What's on the agenda?

Joe: First up today is Read all about it! Now, I assume everyone has read all the books for the future? Has anyone read any of the books?

Andy: Well, Joe, there are over 20 new books coming out next month, so…

Joe: I'm sorry, I really think that's quite unacceptable. It's your job! What about you, Janet? Janet: I'm sorry but this is the first time I've worked on Read all about it! And I didn't know I was meant to read all the books.

Andy: Have you read them?

Joe: No, but that's why you're my assistants. You're meant to assist me.

Andy: It's true that we need to read the books, Joe, but we haven't…

Joe: OK, there you go. You are always making excuses!

Andy: And what's more, we haven't even chosen the books yet.

Joe: OK, let's get down with it. What's on the list?

Janet: I suppose we're looking for books with a London angle（伦敦视角）?

Andy: Not necessarily.

Janet: Is it OK to look for non-fiction too?

Joe: Absolutely.

Janet: OK, here's an idea. There's a new biography（自传）of Charles Dickens which I'm

reading.

Andy: Sounds good-his books are always on TV.

Janet: You see I'm studying Dickens at university, and I noticed it in the bookshop last week. It's really interesting.

Joe: OK, tell us more.

Janet: Well, it's a description of the London locations where he set many of his books like Oliver Twist and David Copperfield.

Andy: Sounds right up your street（拿手的）!

Joe Well done, Janet. Maybe you can show Andy how to plan the feature. OK, that's it everyone. Let's get to it!

Conversation2

Janet: What's the matter with Joe today?

Andy: No idea. He's a bit like that sometimes. He gets annoyed with me, but I don't really know why.

Janet: He wasn't being at all fair. How often does he get like this?

Andy: Well, I suppose it's not very often. But sometimes he really gets on my nerves（使某人心烦意乱）.

Janet: Don't let it get to you. He's probably got too much work, and he's stressed.

Andy: Well, he should keep his problems away from the studio. Anyway, you're the expert on Dickens, tell me something about him.

Janet: Well, Charles Dickens was one of the most popular novelists in 19th century Britain. Many of his novels first appeared in magazines, in short episodes. Each one had a cliffhanger at the end that made people want to read the next episode（集，一集）. Andy: And was he a Londoner?

Janet: He was born in Portsmouth but his family moved to London when he was ten years old.

Andy: And he set most of his stories in London, didn't he?

Janet: That's right. He knew the city very well.

Andy: Whereabouts in London are his stories set?

Janet: Around the Law Courts in the centre of London. He worked as a court reporter and many of the real life stories he heard in court inspired some of most famous characters in his novels. Andy: I think some of his stories take place south of the river?

Janet: That's right, especially around Docklands. The thing was…Dickens was a social commentator（社会评论员）as much as he was a novelist-his stories describe the hardship, the poverty, and crime which many Londoners experienced in the 19th century. It makes me want to read some Dickens again. Maybe I'll just go shopping for a copy of Great Expectations.

Andy: Anyway, you did me a huge favour. That was a real brainwave（突然想到的妙计，灵感）to suggest the new biography.

Janet: Cheer up Andy. It wasn't your fault.

Andy: No, it's OK, I'll get over it. Go on, off you go and enjoy your shopping! Conversation2 P15-6选择题答案abdcc

Passage1

M：So how long has your book group读书会been running?

C：Well, let me see, it's over 20 years now. I think it's actually one of the oldest book groups around, because it was only about 20 years ago that they started to become 1.fashionable流行的in the UK.

M：And how often do you have meetings?

C：We meet about once every four or five weeks, although we try to avoid meetings in the summer holidays, and during the run-up to（前奏，预备期）Christmas when we all start to get busy with other things.

M：And how many 2.members成员do you have?

C：We're ten in all, although it's rare that everyone can 3.attend参加.

M：And what happens during the meeting?

C：Well, we usually meet at one of our homes, and we start 4.fairly非常地late, around 8:30, and the 5.host主人prepares dinner, and sometime during the meal, someone asks "So what did you think of the book?" and that's when the discussion starts.

M：It sounds quite https://www.wendangku.net/doc/7b4845311.html,rmal随意的，不正式的.

C：It is, yes, and sometimes if we haven't enjoyed the book, the meal becomes more important than the discussion. But it's fairly 7.rare罕见的that no one likes the book, and it gets quite interesting when opinions about it are 8.divided有分歧的.

M：And what sort of books do you read?

C：Oh, all kinds, actually, not just novels, although I must admit that being a member of the club makes me read more modern fiction小说than I might do 9.otherwise相反地. But we also read the 10.classics名著, you know the novels we all read or should have read 30 years ago, and it's quite good fun to revisit them, to see if our views of the books have changed. We re-read Thomas Hardy recently, and 11.whereas而I used to love it when I was a student, this time I thought it was exasperatingly惹人恼火地12.dull无聊的. And we read non-fiction纪实文学, quite a lot of history and travel writing. A couple of the members like 13.poetry诗歌, which I don't, but you know, we're 14.tolerant宽容的of each other's choice, and it gives us a chance to try things we wouldn't usually read.

M：And how do you choose the books?

C：Well, at the end of the evening the person who hosts the dinner-basically基本上, the cook- has the right to choose the next book.

M：And that works OK?

C：Yes, although there's quite a lot of stress on choosing something that will earn everyone else's 15.respect尊重. And we've got one member who likes science fiction, so we try not to go to his place too often!

Unit 3 Fashion statement

Conversation1

Tanya: Hey! That looks good on you! You should try it on.

Janet: No thanks, I’m just looking.

Tanya: Go on, try it on. I can tell it suits you.

Janet: You seem to want me to buy something. And I’m not sure I want to buy anything at all.

Tanya: Well, yes .I’m pretty sure you want to buy something.

Janet: How do you know?

Tanya: Well, it’s my job to know wha t women want to wear.

Janet: How do you know what I want to wear?

Tanya: I can just tell. Most women don’t hold things up like that unless they know they want to buy it, but either they haven’t got the money or they are nervous about impulse buying. Janet: So what type of Tanya am I then?

Tanya: No money.

Janet: Yeah! You are right, but how do you know?

Tanya: If you were nervous about impulse（心血来潮的，一时冲动的）buying, you’ll feel good that you’ve made a careful decision.

Janet: That’s pretty smart. What is your job then?

Tanya: I’m a buyer for a store in New York City. I’m here for London Fashion Week. Hey, do you want to go? I have some free tickets for the catwalk show this afternoon.

Janet: Well, I’m not sure. I’m waiting for a friend for a friend, actually ,and…

Joe: Hi, Janet!

Janet: Joe! What are you doing here?

Joe: Why the surprise?

Janet: It’s just…I didn’t expect to see you. That’s all. Er, this is …

Tanya: Hello, I’m Tanya Feinstein. Is this the friend you were waiting for…

Janet: NO. Yes!

Tanya: So would you both like to come this afternoon?

Janet: Tanya has invited us to the catwalk show this afternoon.

Tanya：Look at this. Oh, it’s perfect. I’ll try it on. I’ll leave you two to make up your minds.

Conversation2

Joe: Who is she? Is she a friend of yours?

Janet: No, she just came up to me and started talking about fashion. She’s a buyer for some New York fashion store.

Joe: But why she invited us to a catwalk show?

Janet: She’s giving out free tickets. Part of her job I think.

Joe: So do you want to go?

Janet: I suppose so. Have not got any money for shopping, so why not?

Tanya: OK, you guys made up your mind?

Joe: You sure you got a couple of tickets for us?

Tanya: Sure!

Joe: Thanks. So what is your take on the London fashion scene then?

Tanya: As far as I am concerned, the clothes shops in London are some of the best in the

world. The way I see it, if I want haute couture（高级时装）I can go to Paris or Milan. But if I want street fashion that will look good in New York too, I come to London. The kids here all have this unique style.

Joe: But they can not afford designer prices.

Tanya: In London the fashion tends to start on the streets. It gets popular among the kids, and then the designers come and pick up on their style, turn it into designer clothes. Whereas in Paris or Milan, it is more of a top-down process(从上至下的过程).

Janet: Top-down?

Tanya: Sure. The big name designers create these wonderful clothes but they are really only for a few rich people.

Joe: So you think it is different in London?

Tanya: I sure do. And. if you ask me, New York as well. Anyway, you ready?

Joe: Sure. Why not? Janet?

Janet: Well…Oh well, it is getting late. So, I suppose so.

Tanya: OK, follow me .Let us get a cab.

Presenter: Three times.

Penny: Yes, if I was …if I was going to go to gym, for instance, having dropped the children off at school I’d be wearing an outfit一套服装for…just a 1.casual休闲的outfit for doing the school run, then I’d go to gym and get changed and then if I was going out in the evening I’d change again.

Um maybe take something off, like er my shoes and change into a pair of 2.slippers拖鞋or something, just a pair of sneakers 运动鞋. Um but there are times when if I go to gym, like Penny said, or if we are going out, my wife and I are going out for some 3.occasion场合, I have to change into something a little nicer.

Presenter: And, and so what would, what would be the occasion when you changed into something nicer? It would be different from a work…？

Penny: Well I am going for an interview in an hour’s time so I’ve got to look quite smart 整洁的；优雅的and presentable拿得出的；像样的so that’s why I am looking smarter than I 6.normally通常地would do in the day.

Presenter: How about you?

Eric: I am able to go to work in fairly casual clothes so you know it’s fairly relaxed, nice and easy, anything I’m comfortable with but as long as it’s clean and boss says it’s alright.

Eric: Maybe a little bit fashion conscious yeah. You don’t want to stand out like a sore thumb很显眼and people make fun of you, you know for some reason, but at the same time you want to have your own bit of individuality个性.

Presenter: I think you are discreetly不显眼地fashion conscious, would you agree with…？

Penny: Yes and another a good 8.trick窍门I always do is carry my high heels高跟鞋in my hand bag and go in my trainers运动鞋you see, and then I can 9.charge向…冲去along and jump on the bus and then, and then look…

If I’m feeling maybe a bit down I do not want to wear black because it’s quite draining精疲力尽的and also as you get older it’s draining too, so I might put on some warm colors or which um, I don’t know, sort of make your skin look lighter and your eyes 11.sparkle闪烁a little more.

Unit 4 Money talks

Conversation1

Andy: So what happened then?

Janet: I saw some wonderful clothes, and had a wonderful day.

Andy: But what were you doing there with Joe? I thought you were meeting with me. Janet: You were late.

Andy: Ah, yes. You got me there.

Janet: Joe is right you know. You are late quite often.

Andy: Ok.

Janet: I didn’t know what to do because l didn’t know you were on you way. And Tanya offered me the free tickets and then Joe just turned up.

Andy: Oh well. Look, I’m really sorry I didn’t… Oh, I’d better take this. Hi, Andy speaking. Oh, yes of course. Hi, Mr. Pearson. Are we still on for today? It’s the guy we’re meeting today. Yes, we’re already here. Something unexpected has come up. OK, su re，we will have to make another arrangement to meet. That’s fine, no problem. So when would it be convenient for you? I think that’s OK, but can I check my schedule? Can you hold on for a moment, please? He can’t make it this morning. Are we clear this afternoon? Janet: I think so, yes.

Andy: That’s OK. Could we make it at 2:30 rather than 2:00? Well, let me think. How about at our local, the Duke of York? Would that be OK with you?... Sure, no problem. See you this afternoon. Bye!

Janet: What’s he coming to talk about?

Andy: The city. The financial capital of the world… Next to New York, of course. I’d better tell Joe about the change of plan.

Conversation2

Janet: So what does the world high finance have to do with our website?

Joe: Well, I thought we could do something on the Bank of England Museum- It’s really quite interesting.

Janet: So who exactly is Tim Pearson?

Joe: He works there and he’s coming along today to plan our in terview and a tour round museum.

Janet: So we’re not actually doing any firming?

Andy: No. Just asking more about the Bank and the museum.

Tim: Hi.

Joe: Hi, Tim.

Andy: Hi, Tim.

Janet: Hi, I’m Janet.

Tim: Hi, Janet. Right, so where do you want to begin?

Joe: I’ve got a plan of the museum. Can we go through it with you?

Tim: Fine. Basically, the Bank of England Museum tells the story of the Bank of England. There’s also a collection of Bank notes and gold bars.

Andy: Any free samples?

Tim: Sorry, no chance! Now, you come in here on the left, past the museum shop. Then the first room you enter is a reconstruction of a late 18th century banking hall.

Janet: And moving through to this room, on the top right hand site?

Tim: That’s the story of the early years at the Bank from when it was founded in 1964. Janet: What about this room on the left?

Tim: That’s the bank’s collection of silver goods, a pile of gold bars. And this room here below contains a description of how the modern economy works.

Janet: So is our paper money always backed by its value in gold?

Tim: Yes, the notes they gave or received were originally receipts for the loans in gold. But gradually these paper receipts replaced the gold and became bank notes.

Janet: So is the Bank independent or controlled by the government?

Tim: The Bank was given its independence in 1997.

Janet: And why didn’t the Bank help the economy during the credit crunch in 2008? Tim: Well, it’s a bit difficult to explain…

Andy: Take your time, Tim, we’d really like to know.

Tim: Well, uh…

Conversation2 P39-5选择题答案bcdac

Passage1

Presenter: With me today is Tara Black, author of The History of Money. Tara, before we had money, we exchanged交换things, didn’t we?

Tara: Yes, that’s right. In the Stone Age, people exchanged things like salt or 1.cattle牛. But of course the problem is that the things you exchange don’t last持久. And so money was introduced as a more 2.permanent永久的way of paying for things. And of course, money’s also a lot easier to use. You can carry it around with you very easily. Presenter: So when did people start changing from exchanging goods to paying for things with money?

Tara: Well, as far back as 5000 BC, people in China and the Middle East were exchanging 3.metals金属for goods.

Presenter: As long ago as that?

Tara: Yes. The first silver银ingots金银铸块、锭…

Presenter: Silver bars条? Tara: Yes, they appeared around 2200BC in Europe and were used as 4.currency货币. Coins then appeared in Lydia around 700 BC.

Presenter: Lydia?

Tara: Lydia is a country in what’s now known as Turkey土耳其. Then other countries followed their example and started 5.producing制造them. A Greek希腊的coin, the drachma德拉克马，希腊原货币单位, became the 6.standard标准的form of money in large parts of Asia and Europe.

Presenter: And the first paper money?

Tara: Paper money was first used in china around 960 AD.

Presenter: It’s always China, isn’t it?

Tara: Quite often, yes.

Presenter: So as well as being long-lasting持久的；耐用的and 7.convenient方便的, a big advantage of coins and paper money is that they have a standard value标准价值.

Tara: Yes, they’re known as 8.representative代表的money. Every coin or paper has a certain value that doesn’t depend on the 9.actual实际的value of the paper or metal. Presenter: And how did banks started?

Tara: Both the early Persians波斯人and the Ancient Egyptians埃及人had storehouses仓库where they kept their country’s grain粮食- we’re talking about 3000 BC. They exchanged the grain for promissory note期票；约定支付的票据. This 10.meant意味着a written promise to pay back a 11.sum金额of money to someone. Really, these storehouses can be seen as the first banks.

Presenter: I see.

Tara: So over a great many centuries banks became places where money was 12.deposited 存and lent贷. And they 13.guaranteed保证that a note票据of a certain value could be exchanged for a certain amount of silver.

Presenter: And then there was the gold standard金本位, wasn’t there?

Tara: Yes, the gold standard was 14.applied应用all over the world from 1870 to 1915 but it was slowly 15.abandoned抛弃.

Presenter: When did it become easier…

Unit 5 Gender studies

Conversation1

Andy: I loved the question you asked Tim Pearson about financial crisis.

Janet: Well, I shouldn’t have asked it. After all he is an expert!

Andy: There you go again, you’re always putting yourself down. You don’t know how to take a compliment（称赞，恭维）.

Janet: True. I never find it easy to accept praise. Do you think women have been conditioned to accept criticism（批评，指责）?

Andy: Well, I think that’s gender stereotyping（对...产生成见，模式化）. Do you think that men are good at accepting compliments?

Janet: Well, they seem to be able to deal with criticism much better.

Andy: Don’t you believe it!

Janet: Anyway, thank you, I accept your compliment.

Andy: Not only that, but I think you’d make a really TV presenter.

Janet: I’m not so sure. I haven’t seen many women in television here.

Andy: Well, in the media in general, I can assure（确保，使确信）you that there are lots of women in presenting and management roles.

Janet: Well, maybe, but I’m Chinese as well. I don’t think I’ll be accepted as a presenter on a British TV programme.

Andy: Gender and racial stereotyping. I mean, it depends on what job and sometimes where you work in London, of course, but generally, Londoners are proud of their multi-ethnic community. Especially the Chinese, because cook great food!

Janet: Now who’s doing the stereotyping! But seriously, lo ok at all these smart women walking to work. Are they all secretaries or managers?

Andy: OK, it’s a good point. I think that many women manage to get middle management jobs in most professions. But it’s true that a lot of them talk about the glass ceiling. Janet: What’s the glass ceiling?

Andy: It’s the situation where a woman is successful in a company, but then she hits the glass ceiling- this invisible（不可见的，隐形的）barrier which stops her going any higher in her career.

Conversation2

Janet: So what do you think causes the glass ceiling?

Andy: It’s partly prejudice by men about women’s abilities in management. But it’s also when women take time off to have children; they don’t always recover the same power when they return to work.

Janet: It not fair.

Andy: You’re right, it’s not fair. I read here that only five to ten percent of the top companies in America and British are run by women.

Janet: That’s extraordinary! In China there appears to be more women in top jobs, but I may be wrong. Andy: And look, here are some more statistics. About 60 percent of university graduations in Europe and North America are women. And something like 75 percent of the eight million new jobs in Europe have been filled by women.

Janet: So the percentage of women in the total workforce is growing.

Andy: You got it! But women in the UK are in a slight majority—there are more women than men.

Janet: Do you think it’s especially bad in the UK, and in London especially?

Andy: Not really. Some jobs which were traditionally done by women, like nursing, are now also done by men, and like engineering which are done by women. And there are plenty of women’s football teams!

Janet: Women’s football! We have women’s football in China too.

Andy: Mind you, their matches don’t get many spectators!

Janet: I give up. What else has changed?

Andy: I think fathers spend more quality time with their children today. But I bet you it’s still the women who spend most looking after the children and the home.

Janet: I guess that’s true everywhere.

Andy: Anywa y, I am going home to watch the match on TV. The local women’s team, of course.

Janet: It’s typical of you men! You always bring it back to football!

Andy: And that’s typical of you women! You always bring it back to gender stereotyping. Conversation2 P51-5选择题答案bccab

Passage1

Presenter: Has feminism女权主义，男女平等主义gone too far in the way men are shown in advertisements? Do you think there are too many ads now in which men are shown as 1.stupid愚蠢的or weak?

Speaker 1: 2.Definitely当然, yes. I can think of three ads right now where men are shown as stupid. The one that 3.annoys使恼火；生气me most is the one where this guy is doing this DIY job and he’s no good at it. And his girlfriend is standing by waiting to do the job herself. Fine, if it was one ad, but it’s not, it’s a whole 4.attitude态度now to men. It’s not good for us, it’s not good for women either.

Speaker 2: Um, well, yes, I do feel that feminism has gone too far. I mean, great, women

have made a lot of 5.progress进步in the last 40 years, but it shouldn’t mean we treat men as 6.inferior(等级或地位) 低等的，次要的, which is what we see in quite a few ads these days. So no, I don’t really like the way men are 7.portrayed描绘in advertisements. Speaker 3: Has feminism gone too far in advertisements? No way! Feminism has only just begun, there’s no real 8.equality平等of pay in this country, and men still have all the top jobs. Women continue to be shown as 9.objects对象in ads rather than as real people, and until that stops I really don’t think we can say that feminism has gone too far. I agree that in advertisements these days men aren’t always shown as super-masculine阳刚的, but that’s good and much nearer the truth.

Speaker4：Ads are about selling and I guess selling the idea that men are weak makes people laugh. And if people laugh at an ad they are more likely to remember it and therefore more likely to buy the product. But on the whole总的来说, I’d 10.disagree不同意; I think men are still shown driving expensive cars and working, you know-looking 11.powerful强大的. Then coming home to their wives who look after the children. Speaker5: Well I find the way men are shown in ads annoying. There’s that one where this woman is angry with her 12.partner配偶for his choice of car 13. insurance保险. The idea is that she’s smart and he’s 14.dumb笨的.

Speaker6: I’ve never really thought about it. I think it’s just to make people laugh, isn’t? To show the guy as a bit of an 15.idiot笨蛋and the woman as the boss. It’s just a joke.

I don’t really know much about feminism. I don’t think so, no.

Conversation1

J:I think this is my favourite view in the whole of London.Big Ben is really a important part of the life of the country.

A:It's well worth a visit.

Li:So are you saying that you can go up Big Ben?

A:Sure, I went up when I was a kid.I can highly recommend(极力推荐) it.

J;That would be a great idea for the website.Do a report on a visit to the House of Parliament and Big Ben.

Li:So you mean that I can just go to the entrance and ask to go up the tower?

A:Well, I'm not too sure,actually.But I can try and find https://www.wendangku.net/doc/7b4845311.html,e to think of it,I'm pretty sure you need to get permission from your Member of Parliament.

J;Ah,you and I don't have one,because we aren't UK residents.So I guess that means we can't go up Big Ben

A; I don't really know,to be honest.But it is also well worth taking a tour around the House of Parliament .

Li:So, what you are saying is that visitorslike myself can go into the most important government building in the country?Well, I'd love to do that.

A; I think they do tours in the summer.But there is a trick question:can you actully see Big Ben from here?

J:I haven't a clue(我没有一点思绪).

Li:Well...yes.That's it up there, isn't it?

A:Wrong,in fact, Big Ben is the name of the bell, and not the clock tower

J;I had no idea.

A;So if you can do tours round Big Ben and the House of Parliament, why don't we put something about it on the websites?

J:Fine by me,you OK to do the research?

A:No problem.But can we get somone from the House of Parliament to update us?

J;Sure, actually I know someone who works there, I will give her a call now and see if she can meet us at lunch time.

Conversation2

J:Hi,Sarah

S;Hi, guys

J:Thanks for coming

A:So can you tell us what you know about the House of Parliament ?

S:Sure

J:So tell us about Big Ben

S:Big Ben is widely believed to be the clock tower, but in fact it is the bell at the top

A:And when was the tower built

S:In 1859

J:And how old are the House of Parliament?

S:They are completed in 1850

J:So none of these building we can see are really old?

S:No,that's not what I'm trying to say. Er, the oldest part of the ancient Palace of Weatminster is Weatminster Hall,which dates back to the 11th century.Er, it would appear that it was used for entertaining and as a court room.

A:So how did the system of Parliament we know now first start

S: It seems that over hundreds of years Parliament we know has developed into two houses-the House of Lords and the House of Commons with elected representatives from all over the country

Li:And they are what you call MPs?

S:Yes,there is little doubt that they were the first MPs although not everyone had the right to bote in these days.

Li:So who is more powerful, the King, the Queen, or the prime minster ?

S:Well, it is widely though that the king or queen has more powerful.But it's the government which is elected by the people and the prime minster is the leader of the government.So he or she is considered to be the most powerful person in the country

Li:That's fascinating!But what's even more amazing is how old is the House of Parliament are?

A:Two large houses, one palace, one hall.I wonder if there 's a spare room

Li:What do you mean ?

A:Well, I was annoyed to be told that I have to move out of my flat.I was even more furiour to learn that I have to leave by next month

Li:So what will you do

A:Search me!I would do with a royal palace to live in.

Passage1

Just as Chinese children learn about the 1.emperors皇帝of China, English children learn about England's history through its kings and queens. There have been many more kings than queens but one of the greatest and most loved rulers of England was a woman--Queen Elizabeth I. During her 2.reign统治in the second half of the 16th century Elizabeth made England rich from international 3.trade贸易and also defeated打败one of the most frightening恐怖的4.invasions入侵England ever faced.

Elizabeth's father, King Henry VII, had six wives—he 5.divorced离婚two of them and executed处死two. Elizabth's mother, Queen Anne Boleyn, was Henry's second wife and one of those whom he executed, when Elizabeth was three years old. Elizabeth, who was born in 1553, was very 6.intelligent聪明的, talented有天赋的, and, usually for a woman, received an 7.excellent优秀的education. However, for much of her early life she was afraid that she would be executed like her mother. But after the death of her half-brother同父异母兄弟and half-sister, she became Queen in 1558 at the age of 25. All the rulers of Europe wanted to marry her and Elizabeth 8.advisors顾问；劝告者also wanted her to marry and have a son. But Elizabeth never did, because she was afraid a husband would try to control her.

One of Elizabeth's greatest problems was her cousin表妹, Marry, Queen of Scots苏格兰人. Marry believed she should have been ruler of England. 9.Believing that her cousin was a danger to her as long as只要she 10.remained仍然alive, Elizabeth imprisoned关押，监禁Marry in 1568 and finally executed her in 1587. The King of Spain西班牙, Philip II, had once wanted to marry Elizabeth but the two countries then became enemies. Marry, Queen of Scots shared the same 11.religion宗教as Philip, and her death gave the King an 12.excuse借口to go to war with England. At the same time Spain was the most powerful country in Europe and in 1558 Philip 13.assembled集结a huge navy海军called the Spainish Armada. It 14.sailed航行for England with the 15.intention意图of invading it. Queen Elizabeth made a famous speech to her soldiers, in which she said: "I know I have the body of a weak and feeble虚弱的，无力的woman, but I have the heart and stomach精神；傲气of a king, and of a King of England too." The Spainish Armada was defeated.

By the time she died in 1603, Elizabeth was ruler of one of the most powerful and richest countries in the world.

Unit 7 No place like home

Conversation1

Janet: SO when do you have to move out.

Andy: Well, my landlord has given me four weeks’ notice to leave. It’s not going to be easy to find somewhere immediately.

Janet: What sort of price range are you looking for?

Andy: well, I can’t spend more than 400 hundred pounds per week.

Janet: That sounds like a lot of money.

Andy: Yes, you are right. London is one of the most expensive cities in the whole world.

Anyway, this one looks quite promising. One bedroom for rent in a flat in Shepher d’s Bush, shared with three other people.

Janet: What’s the rent?

Andy: 110 pounds per week. It’s a bit more than I can afford but let’s see.

Joe: Janet.

Andy: I will try it quickly before we start work.

Joe: Janet, are you in the studio?

Janet: Hi there Joe, I’m here.

Joe: Can you tell Andy that I’d like to have a word with him when he comes in?

Andy: Tell him I’m not in yet.

Janet: Andy, you really shouldn’t ask me to tell lies. I’ll pretend I don’t understand.

Ok, Joe. I’ll tell him, OK!

Hurry up, otherwise he will catch you.

Joe: Oh ,and Janet…Oh I thought you told me he wasn’t in?

Janet: I’m sorry,Joe. I didn’t understand……

Andy: Hello, yes,I was wondering if the room was still vacant…

Joe: Well, tell him that if it’s a pers onal call, he can do it outside business hours, in his own time.

Janet: But he is looking for a new flat.

Joe: Sorry, not interested. Andy, put the phone down, or you will be looking for a new job as well.

Andy: It isn't ?Ok, thanks…Bye, too late, it’s alr eady gone.Pity,it sounds really good. Oh ,hi Joe!

Joe: Andy, I really wish you wouldn’t make private calls at work.

Conversation2

Janet: So why does your landlord want you to move out?

Andy: Well, he’s been living abroad but he’s coming back.J: Sounds fair enough.

A: Sure, but it’s frustrating, because I’ve lived there for nearly two years now, and I quite like it. It’s just round the corner from where I was brought up.

J: Yes, it is kind of nice round there.

A: It’s really convenient for work, as it’s close to a tube station. And it’s fairly cheap, because it’s south of the river.

J: So living south of the River Thames is cheaper?

A: Oh, yes, kind of. Generally north of the River is more expensive because public transport is better, and it always has been more fashionable.

J: But around Borough Market is very fashionable, isn’t it?

A: Well, it’s fashionable now, but it didn’t used to be.

J: Why is the transport better north of the river?

A: Well, the tube was first built in the centre and north of London. In the south, until a few years ago, there were only a couple of tube lines. Plenty of buses, but it’s always been an advantage to be close to a tube station.

J: How about this? Three bedrooms vacant, large living room, no students, no pets.

A: Where is it? Ok, got it. That’s in Finsbury Park. That’s on the Victoria Line. Let’s give it a go.

A: Hello, yes ,I’m calling about the flat in today’s Evening Standard. Can you tell me something about it? …right, yeah, five minutes from the tube…two bedrooms still v acant…Ok, I see

…So, it’s 100 pounds but with electricity, gas and water bills to be paid on top. Can I come round to see it? Ok then, I’ll come round this evening. My name is Andy Harrison…yes, that’s right. Thanks a lot…see you this evening…Bye.

J: Great!

A: It sound great! I’ll go and see it tonight. Do you want to come?

J: I’d love to.

Passage1

A woman who spent nine months living in her car has had a book accepted by major publisher出版商HarperCollins. The book, an autobiography自传, is 1.due预期的to be

published next spring.

The woman, Anya Peters, first came to the attention of the public through a blog博客in which she kept a 2.diary日志of her experience of homelessness无家可归. Peters, a law graduate in her early 30s, became homeless after a 3.series系列of difficult events. Unable to pay the rent, she started living in her car, spending time in 4.institutions公共机构such as libraries and hospitals during the day and sleeping in her car at night. Unusually, she did not seek help from 5.charities慈善机构or hospitals for the homeless. However, her online diary of her experiences, written at public libraries, soon found readers and came to the attention of one of the largest literary agencies文稿代理商. She was encouraged to turn her experiences and blog into a book, which immediately found a publisher. The advance预付款from the book has 6.enabled使…能够Peter to move out of her car into rented accommodation住所.

Anya Peters' story has drawn attention to the problems of homeless people in Britain. There are now more than 100,000 families living in 7.temporary临时的accommodation such as hostels（流浪者）过夜住宿处. The government recently 8.announced宣布plans to halve减半the number of these families in the next four years.

These 9.figures数字do not include rough sleepers露宿者, people who for various reasons such as domestic violence家庭暴力, family breakdown破裂or 10.unemployment失业have no money and nowhere to go so find themselves sleeping on the streets. Last year the number of people sleeping rough in England counted on anyone night was 483, with the highest numbers in London.

It is 11.estimated据估计that the number of rough sleepers has fallen by nearly three-quarters四分之三in the last ten years. While there is a 12.constant经常的movement of people onto the streets, most are helped off the streets into some form of accommodation. Charities play a particularly特别地important part in finding accommodation for rough sleepers, the 13.majority大多数of whom are male, with UK 14.nationality国籍, and aged between 26 and 45. Approximately大约40-50 per cent have or have had drug or 15.alcohol酒精problems and about the same percentage比例have been in prison. These figures do not include the "hidden homeless", people who become homeless but find a temporary solution by staying with family or friends.

Andy: OK, you up for this, Janet?

Janet: Well, I’ve been willing to give it a go, sure.

Andy: You will be fine.

Joe: Try and do it in one take, Janet. This woman is really quite busy.

Janet: Well, I will do my best. But I find it hard to make any promises.

Joe: OK, here she comes. Hi, Ms Young. I am Joe Varese. We spoke on the phone. Cathy: Hi, Joe. Please call me Cathy.

Joe: And this is Janet Li, our interviewer today, and Andy, our cameraman.

Cathy: It’s nice to meet you all. Where do you want me to stand?

Andy: Over to you, Janet/

Janet: Oh, yes OK……any where you like Cathy, But I’d like you to describe the skyline. So, maybe over here, where we can both see it.

Cathy: Fine, is it OK?

Janet: That’s great. Would you be prepared to talk about the London architecture in general as well as the exhibition?

Cathy: I wouldn’t mind doing that, no, of course not.

Joe: And we're going to try and do this in one take. Cathy, as I know you have to get back for the opening of the exhibition.

Cathy: That's very considerate of you.

Janet: that's the plan. But I'd reluctant to raise your hopes too much.

Andy: can we just check the sound level, please?

Janet: Cathy Young, thank you for joining us today.

Cathy: My pleasure.

Janet: I'm grateful for having the opportunity to ask about the latest architectural exhibition which opens tonight at Somerset House. It's called the London Skyline, past, present and future.

Conversation2

Janet: Why did ask us to meet you here on the South Bank?

Cathy: Well, it's probably the best place to get an idea of the architectural history of London. Straight ahead we can see St Paul's Cathedral, and over my right , the City of

London Skyline.

Janet: Tell me about the St Paul's Cathedral.

Cathy: Well, it's the masterpiece of Sir Christopher Wren, and was completed in 1708. The dome is now one of the most recognizable sights of London.

Janet: And of course, It was a landmark during the 1941 Blitz?

Cathy: Yes. The enemy bombers could see it from a distance, with the result that they knew where to drop their bombs. But to everyone's astonishment, it wasn't damaged. Janet: And what about the modern buildings over there?

Cathy: Yes, absolutely. Perhaps the most notable one is the rocket-shaped building, which Londoners call the Gherkin. This was designed and built in 2004 by Morman Foster. Janet: He was an architect for a new terminal at Beijing Airport, wasn't he?

Cathy: That is absolutely right.

Janet: London is now quite a high-rise city, isn't it?

Cathy: Well, I'm not convinced you're right. It's not at all like Shanghai, or even Beijing. Janet: So what about the future?

Cathy: as you might expect, the future is more skyscrapers. And the most important of all will be the 72 storey Shard of Glass, at 310 metres, one of the tallest buildings in Europe. Janet: And the exhibition opens tonight at Somerset House

Cathy: Exactly, and runs until next September.

Janet: I am sure lots of people who will go and see how such a familiar skyline has changed, and will develop in the future. Cathy Young, thank you very much.

Joe : One take, thank you. Janet. You should be on TV.

Andy: Amazing Janet. You will be on TV one day. If you keep going like this .Well done. Conversation2 P87-6选择题答案ccbdaa

视听说4 听力原文及答案 Unit 1 Leisure activities Part 1 listening one Ever wish you could do magic tricks, or introduce yourself as “magician” at a party? Imagine, everybody wants to have fun, but nothings’ really happening, it’s time for you to show one of your new tricks. Here, you can learn how, and without any need for special materials or much practice. A trick with a coin, a handkerchief and a friend: Put the coin on your palm. Cover the coin with the handkerchief. Ask several people to put their hands beneath the handkerchief and feel the coin, to make sure that it is still there. Then take the corner of the handkerchief and pull it rapidly off your hand. The coin has gone! How? You must make sure the last friend who feels the coin knows the trick and removes the coin when he seems to be just feeling it. And nobody knows where it has gone! A trick with a piece of paper and a pencil: Tell your friend that you can communicate your thoughts without speaking to other people. Write on the piece of paper the word No. Don't let your friends see what you have written. Say, "Now I will communicate this word into your minds." Pretend to concentrate. Ask them if they know what is written on the paper. They will say, "No!" And you say, "Quite correct! I wrote No on the paper!" A trick with an egg and some salt: Ask your friends to stand the egg upright on the table. They won't manage to do it. Say that you can speak to the chicken inside. Say, "Chicken! Can you hear me? Get ready to balance your egg!" When you first get the egg back from your friends, pretend to kiss the egg at the base. Make the base wet. Then put the base into salt which is in your other hand. The salt will stick to the egg. Then put the egg on the table. Twist the egg around a few times as this will arrange the grains of salt. Then it will stand up. Don't forget to thank the chicken. Questions: 1.What does the magician ask people to do in the first trick 2.What happens to the coin? 3.How does the magician prove that he can communicate his thoughts to the audience in the second trick? 4.What is the first step to make the egg stand upright? 5.What else is needed to make the egg stand upright? Keys: 1. B 2. C 3. C 4. A 5. D
