Long Conversation 1
M: Well, did you enjoy it?
W: Yes, I enjoy it much more that I thought I would.
M: Really?
W: Yes, I don’t usually go to science fiction films. I don’t think they are much better than comics on film, if you know what I mean.
M: Yes, sure. And a few years ago, they were certainly like that. But they’ve got a lot better now.
W: Yes, and historical film s, that’s what I really like. I never miss a good film set in middle ages. Oh, and love stories, I never miss one on TV.
M: Fondly enough, I don’t like those kinds of films at all. But to come back to this one, I personally didn’t think it was very good. It certainly wasn’t as good as other science fiction films I’ve ever seen.
W: Wasn’t it?
M: No, not at all. Oh, the effects were very good.
W: Yes, I thought they were marvelous, especially the battle in space, incredible.

M: And how long does it last?
M: Well, it supposed to start at 6, but that’s a bit of problem because people have difficulty getting through the traffic. So we start at 6: 30 and then it goes on until the 9 o’clock.
M: And what was your reason for wanting to do the class?
W: Well, I just bought my first car and I don’t know anything about cars. So I thought it was a good opportunity to learn. I guess most of the people in the class are in the same situation.
M: Um, and what do you actually do? Do you bring the car along to the class?
W: Yes, we do. And in the first part of the lesson, the first half hour, the man who runs the class will go through some particular part of the car, and we’ll learn about it. And then we spend the rest of the time, actually working on my own cars, the same problem.
M: And how many people are there in the class?
W: Mm, I think 16, but 3 quarters of them are women. It’s q uite interesting because the man is obviously used to teaching man. And he always starts his sentence by saying,” Wow, your chops were slow.” And then he stops and says “Oh, any woman, you ladies, but...ur...”
M: Mm: Sounds funny.
Q:
22. What does the woman say about her evening class?

Section B Passages
Passage 1
We don’t choose friends on the basis of how much money they have, of course, but lots of differences can be disturbing to both sides. Aaron, for example, was single, and earns a very good salary. Her friend, Pat, the divorced mother of three, is struggli ng to make ends meet. “We are both frequent theater-goers,” Aaron explains, “and I’ll gladly pay for two tickets, just to have Pass Company it plays in concerts, but she won’t go anywhere unless she can pay her own way. I hate to go alone, so we both stay home. It all seems so silly.” Pat sees the situation differently. After her unhappy marriage to a man who was trying to control her without considering her wishes and feelings, she says, “it’s very important to me to carry my own weight. I’m not comfortable in any relationship where all I do is taking. ”
The difficult situation finally changed when Aaron moved recently. Pat’s children were with their father, so she took a picnic lunch to her friends new plays, then spend the day helping her unpack and get settled. “I was so grateful,” Aarons says, “But I persuaded Pat to let me return the favour in my own way with season tickets to our little theater group. I think she’s beginning to recognize that she contributes as much to our friendship, but I do”
26. What do we learn about Pat?
27. What draws Aaron and Pat together?
28. What does Aaron do to return Pat’s favor?
29. What do we learn friendship from the passage?
Passage 2
Sun School in the town of Ashbert in England is a day school for children age 10 to 18.It is based on the value of social equality between students and stuff, and has few rules. Sun School believes that the healthy growth of the child is more important than academic success. It offers a variety of lessons and activities for students to choose from. In free time for children to follow their own interests. Classes are small, and based on the individual needs of each child. The timetable is fixed. But democratically decided and students are expected to attend. The weekly school meeting is at the center of the way sun school is organized. It mix all the decisions that affect the school, including rules, the timetable and accepting or rejecting new students and teachers. Participating in these meetings gives children an understand of democratic decision making and helps them develops their skills of argument and persuasion. The most import advantage of the school meeting is that it shows the children that the school is really theirs. They have the right to decide on changes. And the sc hool’s success or failure depends on their decisions and their behavior. Sun School employs no cooking or cleaning stuff, these jobs are done by students and teachers. Decorating and simple repairs are also done by students, it is believed that school truly belongs to who use it, they must take responsibility for its maintenance.
30. What value is Sun School based on?
31. What is characteristic of the school decision making process program?
32. Why does sun school ask the students to do the maintenance?
Passage 3
Well, to continue, as i mentioned earlier, there is also research that demonstrates that individuals perform worse, not better on tasks when other people are there. R.W.Harburt did an interesting experiment. He had his subjects learn a finger maze. This is a game in which you indicate with your finger the way through a complex system of passages or paths. The subjects who had an audience did worse than the subjects who did alone.
Now how can we explain these very different results? It seemed very confusing for a long time. Social psychologist, John Roberts, finally cleared up the confusion about why people sometimes perform better and sometimes worse in front of an audience. Roberts found that the presence of an audience facilitates what you already know how to do. That is, if you know what you are doing, having an audience helps you do it better. But if you don’t already know how to do something, you will probably make some mistakes and you will make mistakes for a longer time if you have an audience. That’s exactly what happened to the subjects who were learning the finger maze.
So, if you were doing well, having an audience increases the chances that you will continue to do well. If you were doing badly, having an audience increases the chances that you will continue to do badly. Roberts cleverly pointed out that when you are first learning something, you are better off working alone than practicing with other people.
33. What did the speaker probably discuss before coming to this part of the talk?
34. When does the presence of an audience facilitate your performance according to Roberts?
35. What does Roberts think as a better way to learn new things?

专业四级考试的“复合式听写” 1.通过卷血文字捕捉信息，找岀线索、了解大意“复合式听写”材料多为说明文(Exposition),这一体裁的文章具不主题突出，条理分明，层次清楚、语言简洁、逻辑性强的特点。文章的开头或段首多半有主题句(topic sentence), Z后的段、句进一步具体扩展、说明或论证主题句。根据“复合式听写”样题，听写第二部分二、三自然段首和段尾均有完整的主题旬o考生应利用一切机会，如考前空隙或播放考试指令时间，浏览试卷该项下文字部分,尤其是主题旬,根据主题句预测文章发展线索和大意。 以样题为例，根据第二段未题句"Often people like to take with them a gift for the host* s wife of a party they have been invited to. ” 及 Again, you may choose something for the host's wife alone or for the entire family. 考生不难推测所记要点应是作客时，客人应带些什么礼品及所赠对象，而决不会涉及作客时应穿什么样的服装或到、离主人家时间等方面的内容，这样便增强了考生对文章的认知度)熟悉感。缩小了内容范I韦I，考生听音时更具针对性和准确性，心理放松，更为白信，使白己在考试屮处于主动地位。 即使“复合式听写”材料为其它体裁的文章，听音前浏览下试题也大大有裨益。因为文章具有一致性和连贯性的特点，从试题屮我们总会搜索到一些有参考价值的材料。 2.听写结合，双管齐下 根据“复合式听写”新题型通知说明，第一遍是全文朗读，要求考生注意听懂全文内容。由于听音前考生已测览了卷血文字，对听力材料有了大致的了解，因此听读第一遍时，考生可以适当地填写些单词和做些笔记，听为主，记为辅，要做好“复合式听写”，考生需多多实践，获取较强的边听边记能力。听音贯穿着期待、预知、分析、综合。推理和判断等一系列过程，考生应同时快速记下儿个关键词，而在记笔记时，又要能有效；专注地去听，获取信息理解全文。听写屮边听边记具有必要性，听为手段，写为目的；听和记两种不同的语言技能在'复合式听写“中有着紧密的联系，相互促进。第一遍记下关键词有助于第二遍听写时启发记忆，提示要点，同时也减轻了第二遍笔记的任务，使笔记更加充实、完整，依次与出的内容要点才会更加全面、准确。另一方面，边听边记也具有可行性，试想学主听外籍教师上课，听了一遍不是也可记下授课要点吗？只要多加练习，其实也不难做到。 3.提高记笔记的效率 一般考生听完两汤基木可听懂句意；但只凭记忆写要点，往往容易有疏漏和错误。足够信息量的笔记是写好要点的重要条件；但如何在有限的时间内记录下更多的内容呢？这里介绍儿种方法。 首先,可使用缩略语。仍以样题为例,可用esp.代especially, sth代something, apprec代appreciation等。没有缩略语的词汇,如字母较少的单词,可完整写出该词，如gift, take,字母较多的单词(只写该词前几个字母；这里的基木要求是快速；省时，并能表达含义。缩略语不一定要求规范，茯室可用些符号, 所记内容不一定要求完整，只要能起到提示的作用，白己能看懂就行了。 其次，由于“复合式听写”第二部分朗读时没有停顿，即使使甩缩略语也难记下全文，因此考生应有选择地记笔记。英语屮实词具有表意功能，而虚词多具语法功能，所记词应以实词为主。 另外，因为“复合式听写”第二部分只要求写出内容要点，这样考生应重点记下句中的中心词。(同样以样题为例)短语a thank-you gift, greatly appreciated 和quite acceptable中的定、状语便可略去不记。 通过这儿种方法，考生大大压缩了所记的词语，赢得了时问，精练了内容，增大了笔记的信息量，为写好内容要点创造了条件。 4.书面表达内容要点 “复合式听写”全文朗读两遍后停顿五分钟，让考生根据所听和所记内容写出第二部分主要意思。答题时，考生应针对以上内容及第一部分和第二部分的主题句进行诊折、判断，概括。文章要点显然不可缺漏，但也无需有闻必录,多多益善，考生应分清主次,有所取爱，从这个意义上说,“复合式听写”还要求考生具有一定的逻辑分析。归纳能力。文字表达应简洁、通顺、准确。分析样题参考答案，我们不难发现它有以下特点：\ 1.将内容要点分列为几点，清楚明白，一目了然。 2.要点尽可能用完整的简单句表达，不宜用短语，句式也不宜过手复杂。 3.尽量省去语句屮可有可无的修饰成份。

一、给分标准 1. 36-43每题0.5分。拼写完全正确的单词给0.5分，凡有错不给分，大小写错误忽略不计; 2. 44-46题满分为2分，答出内容且语言正确各得1分; 二、扣分标准 1. 44-46题中有语言错误扣0.5分，每题语言错误扣分不超过0.5分，凡不得分部分，如有语言错误不再重复扣分; 2. 44-46题中凡与问题无关的内容扣0.5分。 3. 44-46题中如出现明显属于笔误造成的大小写、标点符号错误，不扣分。 4. 用汉语回答问题不给分。 复合式听写是一种非常有效的综合性测试形式，可以考查学生词汇量、拼写、句法、听力、理解、记笔记和一定的书面表达等多方面的要素和技能。全面打好语言基本功是提高听写能力的重要途径，但听写训练具有自身的科学性和技巧性，多练加巧练则可取得事半功倍的成效。 从以往历年的考题来看，总体说来，以前的文章多取材围绕日常生活、科技发展、历史起源、人物回顾、文化娱乐等。文章的开头或段首多半有主题句，之后的段落和句子进一步具体扩展、说明或论证主题句。考生应利用一切机会，如考前空隙或播放考试指令时间，浏览试卷该项下文字部分，尤其是主题句，根据主题句预测文章发展线索和大意。 复合式听写包括两部分：第一部分要求考生根据录音内容准确填出空格里的词汇，一般为一个单词，全段共填8个单词；第二部分要求考生听完后写出该部分的文章重点。复合式听写的全文内容约250字，共朗读三遍。第一遍为全文朗读，语速正常，中间无停顿；第二遍朗读时在所填句子后停顿一段时间，让考生根据所听内容写出主要意思；第三遍又以正常语速朗读全文，没有停顿。有一点需要提醒大家的是，录音中有明确对考生的提示：“you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words'’，也就是说你可以在听懂句意后进行归纳，并用自己的话简练地将要点表达出来。 复合式听写的考察要点 第一，对于较难单词拼写的考察 一些长度较长，属于大学四级范畴但又不包含在高中词汇的词往往是四级考试词汇部分的重点考察对象，例如“investigated”、“recommend”等。 第二，名词的单复数问题一直是复合式听写考察的一个重点 不仅考察听力，也考察考生的语法功底，语法功底薄弱的考生往往在检查时将这一点忽略，造成了会做的题也失分的局面。好在这样的问题如果多加注意也是可以解决的。毕竟给名词变复数这类简单的转换还不至于难倒我们。但是对于一种类型的词我们一定要多加注意，就是一些有时候可数有时候不可数的单词，比如曾在四级中考过experience一词，当它表示“经历”时为可数名词，而表示“经验”时却是不可数名词，当时该题就考察了“life experiences”生活经历的意思。
