Passage one:
Time
I think a lot about time and not just because it’s the name of the news organization I work for. Like most working people, I find time or the lack of it, are never ending frustration and an unwinable battle. My every day is a race against the clock that I never ever seem to win. This is hardly a lonesome complaint, according to the families and work institutes, national study of the changing work force. 55% of the employees say they don’t have enough time for themselves, 63% don’t have enough time for their spouses or partners, and 67% don’t have enough time for their children. It’s also not a new complaint. I bet our ancestors returned home from hunting wild animals and gathering nuts, and complained about how little time they had to paint battle scenes on their cave walls. The differences about the boresome animal hunting and ahead of not gathering probably told them to shut up or no survival for you. Today’s workers are still demanding control over their time, the differences today’s bosses are listening. I’ve been reading your report issued today called when work works, produced jointly by 3 organizations. They set out to find and warn the employers who employ the most creative and most effective ways to give their workers flexibility. I found this report worth reading and suggest every boss should read it for ideas.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What is the speaker complaining about?
He’s in a hurry to work everyday and doesn’t have enough spare time.
27. What does the speaker say about our ancestors?
They were busy with finding food outside in order to survive.
28. Why does the speaker suggest all the bosses read the report by the 3 organizations? Because this report may help them keep their most creative and effective workers working without too much complaint.
Passage 2
Loving a child is a circular business. The more you give, the more you get. The more you want to give, Penalaeone said. What she said proves to be true of my blended family. I was born in 1931as the youngest of 6 children, I learn to share my parents’love. Raising 6 children during the difficult time of the Great Depression took its toll on my parents’relationship and resulted in their divorce when I was 18 years old. Daddy never had very close relationship with his children and drifted even farther away from us after the divorce. Several years later, a wonderful woman came into his life, and they were married. She had 2 sons. One of them is still at home. Under her influence we became a blended family and a good relationship developed between the 2 families. She always treated us as if we were her own children. It was because of
our other mother, daddy’s second wife, that he became closer to his own children. They shared over 25 years together before our father passed away. At the time of his death, the question came up of my mother, daddy’s first wife, attending his funeral. I will never forget the unconditional love shown by my stepmother. When I asked her if she would object mother attending daddy’s funeral. Without giving it a second thought, she immediately replied, “of course not honey, she is the mother of my children.”
Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you’ve just heard.
29. According to the speaker, what contributed to her parents’divorce?
The difficult time of the Great Depression
30. What brought his father closer to his children?
A wonderful woman, his stepmother
31. What message does the speaker want to convey in this talk?
Unconditional love may contribute greatly to keeping closer relationship between family members.
Passage 3
In February last year, my wife lost her job.
Just as suddenly, the owner of the greenhouse where I worked as manager died of heart attack. His family announced that they were going to close the business because no one in the family wanted to run it. Things looked pretty gloomy, my wife and I read the want-ads each day. Then one morning, as I was hanging up a Going Out the Business sign at greenhouse, the door opened and in walked a customer. She was an office manager whose company has just moved into the new office park on the edge of town. She was looking for parted plants to place in the reception areas and offices. "I don’t know anything about plants," she said. "I’m sure in a few weeks that all be dead." Why I was helping her select her purchases? My mind was racing. Perhaps as many as a dozen firms had recently opened offices in the new office park and there were several hundred more acres with construction under way. That afternoon, I drove out to the office park. By six o’clock that evening I had signed contracts with seven companies to rent plants from me and pay me a fee to maintain them. Within a week, I had worked out an agreement to lease the greenhouse from the owner’s family. Business is now increasing rapidly. And one day, we hope to be the proud owners of the greenhouse.

It is a place where we can buy plants.

2018年12月大学英语四级真题听力原文(第一套) 来源：文都教育 News 1 A device that weighs less than one kilogram is part of a mission that will allow scientists to deliver fourth generation or 4G mobile coverage to the moon in 2019. If successful, the tiny device will provide the moon with its first ever mobile phone network. The lunar network will support high definition streaming of video and data between the moon and earth. The network is part of a mission to the moon. This is a project with the goal of landing the first privately paid for mission to the moon. The 4G mission is set to launch from Cape Canaveral in the United States on a space X Falcon 9 rocket in 2019. Mission to the moon intends to establish and test the first elements of a communications network on the moon. The scientists working on the project opted to build a 4G rather than a fifth generation or 5G network. This is because fifth generation networks are still in testing and trial phases. This means that a 5G network may not yet be stable enough to work on the mo on’s surface. Question 1: What are scientists planning to do? Question 2: Why did scientists choose to set up a 4G network in their mission? News 2 It’s responded to a fire Wednesday night at an abandoned mall in Heywood. The fire was reported at 9:26 pm at an old shopping center on Michigan Avenue near St. Mary’s Church. Six fire engines, two trucks and two chiefs responded to the scene. Crews had the fire under control in about 45 minutes and managed to contain the fire to its point of origin. There were some people inside the building when the fire broke out but there were no reports of any injuries. Fire investigators have responded to the scene but have not yet determined the cause of the fire. Firefighters will remain on the scene until later this m orning to ensure that the fire doesn’t start up again. The shopping mall had not been in use since 2002. In 2014 City Hall developed a plan to knock down the building and replace it with affordable housing. However the plan was dropped due to lack of funds. Question 3: What does the news item say about the fire? Question 4: What had City Hall planned to do? News 3 Potato chips in Japan are being sold for 6X their normal price.
