6月英語四級聽力真題及原文 篇1
Section A
Directions: In this section, you will bear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each questions there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B),C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer sheet 1 with a single line through the center.
Now let’s begin with the eight shortconversations.
1.
W: Tom, would you be interested in serving on the membership committee this year?
M: Can I get back to you on that in a few days?
Q: What does the man mean?
2.
W: We should buy a good guide book and study it before our trip to Vancouver.
M: We could. But they are overpriced. What about the library?
Q: What does the man mean?
3.
W: You took a history course this term, didn’t you? What can you say about it?
M: Well, the trouble is that I never get through the weekly reading list, though some books are quite interesting.
Q: What does the man mean?
4.
M: I'm taking my girlfriend to the fancy new restaurant for her birthday tonight.
W: I went there last weekend. I found it rather disappointing.
Q: What does the woman mean?
5.
W: Winter is over at last. Time to put away my gloves and boots.
M: I've been waiting for this for months.
Q: What does the man mean?
6.
M: Look, the curtain is going up slowly and all the lights over the stage are lit up.
W: Yeah, the play is starting. Oh, something caught my sleeve. Give me a hand please, Bob.
Q: Where are the speakers now?
7.
W: You only have water to serve your guests?
M: This isn’t just plain water. This is mineral water from Tibet.
Q: What does the man imply?
8.
W: When do you have time to discuss our environmental report? I think we will have to make some revisions.
M: I’ll be free at 3 o’clock this afternoon. But what exactly needs to be changed?
Q: What are the speakers going to do this afternoon?
Now you’ll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Why is it important to recycle?
M: There are many reasons. Recycling is one way to keep waste out of landfills. Landfills are places to dump waste.
But they are unpopular, because they can pollute the soil used to cover them and that’s bad for people who may build new homes there.
Recycling also reuses valuable raw materials, such as aluminum and paper.
Finally, recycling can leave a lower garbage bill.
Recycling lowers the amount of waste put into landfills, therefore, less money is spent for garbage disposal.
W: How has recycling changed over the years?
M: Ten or twenty years ago, you could buy milk in returnable, refillable, glass bottles, and many people recycled voluntarily.
Now you buy milk and other products in plastic bottles or paper containers.
Because of the high cost of disposing of these things in landfills, many city governments now have recycling programs.
W: How does recycling help the environment?
M: Recycling helps the environment mainly by saving energy.
For example, it takes 95 percent less energy to produce recycled aluminum than to produce new aluminum.
W: Can one person really make a difference? If only a few people recycle, then what’s the point?
M: If not you, then who? If we combine our efforts, we can make a difference. Each of us contributes to the waste problem.
All the millions of tons of waste that go into landfills started as an old pair of slippers, a broken TV set, or a used magazine that came from somebody’s house—maybe yours!
9. Why are landfills unpopular according to the man?
10. What does the man say has contributed to the increasing amount of waste over the years?
11. According to the man, how does recycling help the environment?
12. Why does the man say everybody should make an effort to recycle?
Conversation Two
W: Could you please give me information on airfares from Miami to Bellingham, Washington? We’d like to buy a good flight as cheaply as possible.
M: Let’s see. I want to advise you to pay the normal one-way economy class fare of $555.
If you can fly on a Tuesday or Wednesday and buy your tickets at least 21 days in advance, I suggest you book a round-trip excursion flight.
W: But we may not need the return tickets.
M: That’s all right. Even if you don’t use them, you should be able to save $89 over the one-way fare.
Of course, I’d recommend early booking. You ought to try to reserve the “Super Saver” seats.
There are only a few of them and they are 50% cheaper than the others.
W: That sounds like a good idea.
M: Wait, to save another hundred dollars or so, why don’t you book a flight to Vancouver, Canada?
W: But that’s farther than where we want to go.
M: I know, but you can take a bus from Vancouver back to Bellingham and still save money.
And if you are travelling with children, you might be able to get a discount if you fly economy class. But they don’t get any discount.
But to take the advantage of the airline’s guarantee fare policy, you’d have to make reservations and pay for your tickets at least six weeks in advance.
Try and begin the search for available seats...
W: No, thank you.
M: Excuse me?
W: I’ll call you back if we don’t decide to drive.

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marketed A), B),C) and D). Then marked the correspond letter on Answer sheet I with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
What makes a person famous? This is a mystery that many people have carefully thought about.
All kinds of myths surround the lives of well-known people.
Most people are familiar with the works of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest English writers of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Yet how many know Shakespeare, the person, the man behind the works?
After centuries of research, scholars are still trying to discover Shakespeare's personal history. It is not easily found in his writings.
Authors of the time could not protect their works. An acting company, for example, could change a play if they wanted to. Nowadays, writers have copyrights that protect their work.
Many myths arose about Shakespeare. Some said he had no formal education. Others believed that he began his career by tending the horses of wealthy men.
All of these myths are interesting, but are they true? Probably not.
Shakespeare's father was a respected man in Stratford-on-Avon, a member of the town council. He sent young William to grammar school.
Most people of Elizabethan times did not continue beyond grammar school; so, Shakespeare did have, at least, an average education.
Some parts of Shakespeare's life will always remain unknown.
The Great London Fire of 1666 burned many important documents that could have been a source of clues.
We will always be left with many questions and few facts.
16. What does the speaker say about William Shakespeare?
17. What do we learn about Shakespeare's father?
18. Why does the speaker say parts of Shakespeare's life will remain a mystery?
Passage Two
Almost everyone suffers from a headache occasionally. But some people suffer from repeated, frequent headaches.
A headache is important because it can be the first warning of a serious condition that could probably be controlled if discovered early.
If a person removes the warning, day after day, with a pain-killer, he or she may pass the point of easy control.
The professional name for covering up a symptom is “masking.”
A headache specialist once said, “Masking symptoms is not the best way of treatment. Sometimes it is wiser to stand still than to advance in darkness.”
A headache often interferes needlessly with normal, happy living.
The employee with a headache does less work.
In a flash of temper he or she may upset fellow workers or customers, causing a direct or indirect loss to the organization.
The mother with a headache suffers and disturbs the family. She upsets her husband and children.
Rest, quiet and fresh air stop many common headaches. Lying down and possibly falling asleep may help.
One can often handle tension headaches by rubbing and pressing back neck muscles.
Heat from an electric pad or a warm bath can also help.
Because hunger may be overlooked as a headache source, one must make a habit of regular meals.
If a meal must be postponed for more than an hour, a snack helps to avoid a hunger headache.
19. Why does the speaker say a headache is important?
20. What do specialists suggest we do with headaches?
21. What does the speaker say helps relieve the symptoms of common headaches?
Passage Three
If your paycheck seems to be disappearing into thin air, you may be stuck in money traps.
But don’t despair. Most people can get unstuck without going bankrupt.
The biggest budget mistake is no budget at all.
As one reader put it, “we just put all the bills in a pile, and try to decide which to pay.
As she and others have learned, however, the money usually runs out before the bills do.
The same problem plagues many who do have budget.
In letter after letter we read, “It looks good on paper, but it never seems to work.” Why not?
Often because the budgets are unrealistic.
The solution: make a detailed record of where all your money goes now; then study it carefully.
Look for expenses that can be cut back. And don’t give up in the face of high fixed expenses. Many of these can be reduced too.
In fact, it’s often easier to save on essentials than on enjoyable extras.
If housing takes more than 25 percent of your income, for example, consider moving to a cheaper place, or renting out an extra room.
If utility bills are high, get the whole family involved in a conservation plan.
Some bills can be eliminated altogether.
When one mother realized that cable TV was costing her $500 a year, she decided that network TV wasn’t so bad.
If you question every expense, you can find a few that can be reduced.
22. What does the speaker say is the biggest budget mistake?
23. What does the speaker say about the so-called fixed expenses?
24. What does the speaker suggest people do to save housing expenses?
25. What is mainly discussed in the talk?

When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is reaf for the third time, you should check what you have written.
Now listen to the passage.
Perhaps because going to college is so much a part of the American dream, many people go for no particular reason.
Some go because their parents expect it, others because it’s what their friends are doing.
Then, there’s the belief that a college degree will automatically ensure a good job and high pay.
Some students drag through four years, attending classes, or skipping them as the case may be,
reading only what can’t be avoided, looking for less demanding courses, and never being touched or changed in any important way.
For a few of these people, college provides no satisfaction， yet because of parental or peer pressure, they cannot voluntarily leave.
They stop trying in the hope that their teachers will make the decision for them by failing them.
To put it bluntly， unless you’re willing to make your college years count, you might be better off doing something else.
Not everyone should attend college, nor should everyone who does attend begin right after high school.
Many college students profit from taking a year or so off.
A year out in the world helps some people to sort out their priorities and goals.
If you’re really going to get something out of going to college, you have to make it mean something,
and to do that you must have some idea why you’re there, what you hope to get out of it, and probably even what you hope to become.

Conversion 1
W： Hi Leo， why do you say English would become the world language？
M： Well. For one thing， it’s so commonly used， the only language that is used by more people is Chinese.
W： Why is English spoken by so many people？
M： It’s spoken in many countries of the world because of the British empire. And now of course is the influence of America as well.
W： Many students find English a difficult language to learn.
M： Oh， all languages are difficult to learn. But English does have two greatest advantages.
W： What are they？
M： Well， first of all， it has a very international vocabulary. It has many German， Dutch， French， Spanish and Italian words in it. So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English. In fact， English has words for many other languages as well.
W： Why is that？
M： Well， partly because English speakers have travelled a lot， they bring back words with them. So English really does have an international vocabulary.
W： And what is the other advantage of English？
M： It that English grammar is really quite easy. For example， it doesn’t have dozens of different endings for its nouns， adjectives and verbs， not like Latin， Russian and German for example.
W： Why is that？
M： Well， it’s quite interesting actually， it’s because of the French. When the French ruled England， French was the official language， and only the common people spoke English. They tried to make their language as simple as possible. So they made the grammar easier.

No one knows for sure just how old kites are. In fact， they have been in use for centuries. 25 centuries ago， kites were well-known in China. These first kites were probably made of wood. They may even have been covered with silk， because silk were used a lot at that time. Early kites were built for certain uses. In ancient China， they will use to carry ropes to cross rivers. Once across， the ropes were tear down and wooden bridges would hang for them. Legend tells of one General who flew musical kites over the enemies’ camp. The enemy fled， believing the sounds to be the warming voices of angels. By the 15th century， many people flew kites in Europe. Marco Polo may have brought the kite back from his visit to China. The kite has been linked to great names and events. For instance， Benjamin Franklin used kite to prove the lightening electricity. He flew the kite in the storm. He did this in order to draw lightening from the clouds. He tied a metal key and a strip of silk to the kite line. The silk ribbon would stop the lightening from passing through his body.

I have learnt many languages， but I’m not mastered them the way the professional interpreter or translator has. Still， they have open doors for me. They have allowed me the opportunity to seek jobs in international contexts and help me get those jobs. Like many people who have lived overseas for a while， I simply got crazy about it. I can’t image living my professional or social life without international interactions. Since 1977， I have spent much more time abroad than in the United States. I like going to new places， eating new foods and experiencing new cultures. If you can speak the language， it’s easier to get to know the country and its people. If I had the time and money. I would live for a year in as many countries as possible. Beyond my career， my facility with languages has given me a few rare opportunities. Once， just after I returned my year in Vienna. I was asked to translate for a German judge at Olympic level horse event and learned a lot about the sport.
In Japan， once when I was in the studio audience of a TV cooking show， I was asked to go up on the stage and taste the beef dish that was being prepared and tell what I thought. They asked” Was it as good as American beef？” It was very exciting for me to be on Japanese TV， speaking in Japanese about how delicious the beef was.

Part 4 聽寫題
When you look up at the night sky， what do you see？ There are other heavenly bodies out there besides the moon and stars. One of the most fascinating of this is a comet. Comets were formed around the same the earth was formed. They are made up of ice and other frozen liquids and gasses. Now and then these dirty snow balls begin to orbit the sun just as the planets do. As a comet gets closer to the sun, some gasses in it begin to unfreeze. They combine with dust particles from the comet to form a huge cloud. As the comet gets even nearer to the sun and solar wind blows the cloud behind the comet thus forming its tail. The tail and generally fuzzy atmosphere around the comet are characteristics that can help identify this phenomenon in the night sky. In any given year， about dozen known comets come close to the sun in their orbits. The average person can’t see them all of course. Usually there is only one or two a year bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Comet Hale-Bopp discovered in 1995 was an unusually bright comet. Its orbit bought it relatively to the earth within 122 million miles of it. But Hale-Bopp came a long way on its earthly visit. It won’t be back for another 4 thousand years or so.
