Section B Passage One One of the greatest heartbreaks for fire fighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead.Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster.To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire.He displays fire fighters’ equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on.“If you see us,” Velez tells them, “don’t hide!We are not monsters.We have come to rescue you.” Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish.Growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents.Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks.But it’s a fact that informative speaking saves lives.For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris.In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters? What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez? What do we learn about Pete Gentry? What message is the speaker trying to convey?

Passage Two Some people want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early.I see people pursuing higher paying and increasingly demanding careers to accomplish this goal.They make many personal sacrifices in exchange for income today.The problem is that tomorrow might not come.Even if it all goes according to plan, will you know how to be happy when you are not working if you spend your entire life making money? More importantly, who will be around for you to share your leisure time with? At the other extreme are people who live only for today.Why bother saving when I might not be here tomorrow, they argue.The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all.And most people don't want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living.The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older.You maybe surprise to hear me say that if you must pick an extreme I think it's better to pick the spend-all approach.As long as you don't mind continuing to work, assuming your health allows, you should be OK.At least, you are making use of your money, and hopefully deriving value and pleasure from it.Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake.It may never come.Retirement can be a great time for some people.For others, it is a time of boredom, loneliness and poor health.Why do some people pursue higher paying but demanding careers?

What is the danger facing people who live only for today?

What does the speaker seem to advocate?

Passage Three Imagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion.How fair will that be? Well, it happens everyday to high schoolers.Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves.Even though I’d never steal.Store employees looked at me like I’m some kind of hardened criminal.For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Graben Gore Restaurant to have a hot dog.We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside.A new sign in the window told the story.“No more than two students at a time”.After 15 minutes, we finally got in.But the store manger laid the evil eye on us.I asked him about the new sign, and he said, “You kids are stealing too much stuff.” You kids? Too much stuff? We were not only assumed to be thieves, but brilliant, greedy thieves.The most annoying thing though, is the way employees watched my friends and me.It’s horrible.Once, at a drug store, I was looking around and found a guy standing on a large box, stocking the shelves.He was watching my hands, more than he was watching his own.I showed him that my hands were empty.He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger.How crazy is that!

33.What does the speaker find to be unfair?

34.What measure did the Graben Gore Restaurant take to stop stealing?

35.What happened in a drug store that greatly annoyed the speaker Section C Writing keeps us in touch with other people.We write to communicate with relatives and friends.We write to preserve our family histories so our children and grandchildren can learn and appreciate their heritage.With computers and Internet connections in so many households, colleges, and businesses, people are e-mailing friends and relatives all the time--or talking to them in writing in online chat rooms.It is cheaper than calling long distance, and a lot more convenient than waiting until Sunday for the telephone rates to drop.Students are e-mailing their professors to receive and discuss their classroom assignments and to submit them.They are e-mailing classmates to discuss and collaborate on homework.They are also sharing information about concerts and sports events, as well as jokes and their philosophies of life.Despite the growing importance of computers, however, there will always be a place and need for the personal letter.A hand-written note to a friend or a family member is the best way to communicate important thoughts.No matter what the content of the message, its real point is, “I want you to know that I care about you.” This writing practice brings rewards that can’t be seen in bank accounts, but only in the success of human relationships.Section A短對(duì)話答案

Section A長(zhǎng)對(duì)話答案

19.What do we learn about the woman? 【答案】D She was a witness to the crime.【解析】文中男士需要女士描述一下?lián)尳巽y行的人（describe the man who robbed the bank）。選項(xiàng)中B提到了robbery，但是對(duì)話中沒(méi)有說(shuō)明女士是受害者（victim）；D選項(xiàng)提到了她目擊了某個(gè)犯罪經(jīng)過(guò)，robbery顯然是crime的一種。

20.What did the suspect look like? 【答案】A A tall man with dark hair and a moustache.【解析】原文中提到The man was tall, six foot, and he had dark hair, and he had moustache.，對(duì)應(yīng)選項(xiàng)A。

21.What did the man finally asked the woman to do? 【答案】A Identify the suspect from pictures.【解析】對(duì)話結(jié)尾處，男士要求女士look at some photographs，很顯然，他的目的是讓女士通過(guò)照片來(lái)辨別嫌疑人。因此選擇A。

22.How did the woman get to know about the job vacancy? 【答案】A By reading a newspaper ad.【解析】 job vacancy指空缺的職位。在對(duì)話一開(kāi)始，女士就說(shuō)到她的目的：I’m calling about the job that was in the paper last night.從這句話中可以看出她得知職位信息的來(lái)源是the paper last night，對(duì)應(yīng)A選項(xiàng)。23.Why did the woman find the job appealing? 【答案】B She could work close to her family.【解析】本題關(guān)鍵詞是appealing，意為引起興趣的。女士提到她喜歡這份工作的原因是be near to the family.，close是near的同義替換詞，因此選擇B選項(xiàng)。

24.What had the woman been doing in Geneva? 【答案】C Working as a secretary.【解析】女士提到她在日內(nèi)瓦做了一些secretarial work，也就是選項(xiàng)C中的secretary。雖然她也提到之前在大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，但是她取得的學(xué)位是a degree in English，而非選項(xiàng)D中的a degree in French.25.What was the woman asked to do in the end? 【答案】C Send in a written application as soon as possible.【解析】對(duì)話中女士希望得到面試機(jī)會(huì)，但是男士要求先要遞交書(shū)面申請(qǐng)（reply a writing to the advertisement），并不是所有人都能得到面試機(jī)會(huì)，因此選擇答案C。

Section B第一篇答案 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters? 【解析】D)They mistake the firefighters for monsters.細(xì)節(jié)題，從開(kāi)始when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster一句中便可得出因?yàn)椴皇煜は廊藛T戴面具的形象，孩子們以為來(lái)救援的消防人員是怪獸，所以躲起來(lái)。所以選D。其他選項(xiàng)文中都沒(méi)有涉及到。What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez? 【解析】B)He often teaches children what to do during a fire.本篇文章大篇幅講的是Eric Velez給社區(qū)里的孩子講解消防知識(shí)，讓他們熟悉消防人員及消防工具的過(guò)程。選項(xiàng)A，put out fire雖然是Eric Velez的工作，但是本文重點(diǎn)不是在其消防員救活這個(gè)工作上，C、D選項(xiàng)很容易就可以排除。所以選B。What do we learn about Pete Gentry? 【解析】A)He saved the life of his brother choking on food.細(xì)節(jié)題，從Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food一句便可得出答案，文章中關(guān)于Pete Gentry的主要信息就是他救了噎著食物的弟弟。所以選A。做題時(shí)一定要把人名及其所做的事準(zhǔn)確對(duì)應(yīng)起來(lái)。What message is the speaker trying to convey? 【解析】D)Informative speeches can save lives.主旨題，本文舉了一個(gè)大例子，一下小例子來(lái)證明教育性的演說(shuō)有救人性命的好處。雖然在文章最后也列舉了下其他好處，但是主旨還是拯救生命。所以選D。其他幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)都主要講細(xì)節(jié)處，很容易就可以排除。

聽(tīng)力答案及解析（SecB 第二篇）

聽(tīng)力文章分析： 本篇聽(tīng)力講述的是截然不同的兩種生活態(tài)度，一種是“make and save a lot of money in order to retire early”，另一種則是“l(fā)ive only for today”，作者在陳述兩種不同態(tài)度之后，針對(duì)兩種態(tài)度給出了自己的看法“it's better to pick the spend-all approach”。本篇聽(tīng)力不是太難，沒(méi)有較難的詞匯，雖然有幾個(gè)需要注意的句式，如：“At the other extreme are people who live only for today.Why bother saving… ”等，但是通過(guò)上下文也是不難理解的，而且結(jié)構(gòu)也比較清楚，基本上可以分為三部分：兩種不同的態(tài)度和作者的觀點(diǎn)，所考察的三道題也上針對(duì)了這三個(gè)主要的點(diǎn)。由此可見(jiàn)，聽(tīng)聽(tīng)力的時(shí)候依然首先要從全文來(lái)把握，把握文章的要點(diǎn)，在把握要點(diǎn)的基礎(chǔ)上，有重點(diǎn)的去聽(tīng)一些細(xì)節(jié)，如與要點(diǎn)相關(guān)的原因和后果，以及作者本人對(duì)這些事情的看法，遇到與此相關(guān)的信號(hào)詞或者關(guān)鍵詞時(shí)就一定要注意重點(diǎn)記憶。

答案及解析： C)To make money for early retirement.本題考察原因，問(wèn)為什么人們喜歡比較苛求但收入較高的工作，其實(shí)聽(tīng)力一開(kāi)始就用in order to 給出了原因，即：retire early，所以選C項(xiàng)。

A)They may have to continue to work in old age.本題考察后果，問(wèn)只為當(dāng)下而活的人面臨著什么危險(xiǎn)，從“The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older.”中可以看出A是正確選項(xiàng)，及在年老時(shí)有可能不得不繼續(xù)工作。

B)Enjoying yourself while you can.本課考察文章作者的態(tài)度，從 “Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake.”中可以看出，作者認(rèn)為想等到退休后再做自己想做的事情以及和自己喜歡的人在一起可能是一種錯(cuò)誤，所以選B，即趁著自己還可以的時(shí)候要懂得享受生活

2010年12月四級(jí)聽(tīng)力篇章難度與以往持平，沒(méi)有太大的提高或降低，文字長(zhǎng)度依舊是250字左右，題材是記敘文和說(shuō)明文，介紹人物故事和社會(huì)生活。解題方法可以采用取頭取尾地方法，運(yùn)用這個(gè)技巧我們可以成功解決多道題目。

第一篇記敘文介紹了一位消防員的故事，他為社區(qū)的兒童做了一個(gè)講座，告訴他們?cè)诖蠡鹬锌吹较绬T一定要出來(lái)，而不要找角落里躲避起來(lái)。這篇文章的大意可以再開(kāi)頭第一句“One of the greatest heartbreaks for firefighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building because the child, frightened by the smoke and noise, hides under a bed over a closet, and is later found dead”.再結(jié)合最后一句話: “In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.從這兩句話我們可以順利地得出第26題為什么有些兒童看到消防員會(huì)躲起來(lái)的答案，也可以得出第29題的答案作者想通過(guò)這篇文章的出什么結(jié)論。

第二篇說(shuō)明文介紹社會(huì)生活，主題是我們是否應(yīng)該在年輕的時(shí)候拼命工作準(zhǔn)備好養(yǎng)老金。開(kāi)頭第一句話Some people may want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early.就可以告訴我們這篇文章的話題了。結(jié)尾一句話告訴了我們作者提倡的生活態(tài)度，Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake.在這篇文章中作者提出了兩種生活態(tài)度，一種是拼命工作積攢養(yǎng)老金，為老年生活做準(zhǔn)備。另一種則是活在當(dāng)下的態(tài)度。

第三篇還是記敘文，夾敘夾議。開(kāi)頭第一句話說(shuō)Imagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion, how fair would that be? Well!It happens everyday to high-schoolers.一些高中生犯了錯(cuò)所有的高中生都會(huì)受到懲罰。作者開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山的提出了一個(gè)非常不公平的待遇，這句話即是第33題的答案。結(jié)尾作者講述了一個(gè)故事，一些高中生偷東西被抓，導(dǎo)致作者自己去商店明明沒(méi)有偷東西卻當(dāng)做做小偷。這個(gè)故事即是第35題的答案。

第二篇：2006年12月大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)真題聽(tīng)力原文學(xué)習(xí)啊

學(xué)英語(yǔ)簡(jiǎn)單嗎？肯定會(huì)有許多學(xué)生說(shuō)：“難死了”。

為什么有好多學(xué)生對(duì)英語(yǔ)的學(xué)習(xí)都感到頭疼呢？答案只有一個(gè)：“不得法?！?英語(yǔ)與漢語(yǔ)一樣都是一種語(yǔ)言，為什么你說(shuō)漢語(yǔ)會(huì)如此流利？那是因?yàn)槟阒蒙碛谝粋€(gè)漢語(yǔ)環(huán)境中，如果你在倫敦呆上半年，保準(zhǔn)說(shuō)起英語(yǔ)來(lái)會(huì)非常流利。但很多中學(xué)生沒(méi)有很好的英語(yǔ)環(huán)境，那么你可以自己設(shè)置一個(gè)英語(yǔ)環(huán)境，堅(jiān)持“多說(shuō)”、“多聽(tīng)”、“多讀”、“多寫(xiě)”，那么你的英語(yǔ)成績(jī)肯定會(huì)很出色。

一、多“說(shuō)”。

自己多創(chuàng)造機(jī)會(huì)與英語(yǔ)教師多講英語(yǔ)，見(jiàn)了同學(xué)，尤其是和好朋友在一起時(shí)盡量用英語(yǔ)去問(wèn)候，談心情……這時(shí)候你需隨身攜帶一個(gè)英漢互譯小詞典，遇到生詞時(shí)查一下這些生詞，也不用刻意去記，用的多了，這個(gè)單詞自然而然就會(huì)記住。千萬(wàn)別把學(xué)英語(yǔ)當(dāng)成負(fù)擔(dān)，始終把它當(dāng)成一件有趣的事情去做。

或許你有機(jī)會(huì)碰上外國(guó)人，你應(yīng)大膽地上去跟他打招呼，和他談天氣、談風(fēng)景、談學(xué)?！皇莿e問(wèn)及他的年紀(jì)，婚史等私人問(wèn)題。盡量用一些你學(xué)過(guò)的詞匯，句子去和他談天說(shuō)地。不久你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)與老外聊天要比你與中國(guó)人談?dòng)⒄Z(yǔ)容易的多。因?yàn)樗湍憬徽剷r(shí)會(huì)用許多簡(jiǎn)單詞匯，而且不太看重說(shuō)法，你只要發(fā)音準(zhǔn)確，準(zhǔn)能順利地交流下去。只是你必須要有信心，敢于表達(dá)自己的思想。

如果沒(méi)有合適的伙伴也沒(méi)關(guān)系，你可以拿過(guò)一本書(shū)或其它什么東西做假想對(duì)象，對(duì)它談你一天的所見(jiàn)所聞，談你的快樂(lè)，你的悲傷等等，長(zhǎng)此堅(jiān)持下去你的口語(yǔ)肯定會(huì)有較大的提高。

二、多“聽(tīng)”

尋找一切可以聽(tīng)英語(yǔ)的機(jī)會(huì)。別人用英語(yǔ)交談時(shí)，你應(yīng)該大膽地去參與，多聽(tīng)聽(tīng)各種各樣人的發(fā)音，男女老少，節(jié)奏快的慢的你都應(yīng)該接觸到，如果這樣的機(jī)會(huì)少的話，你可以選擇你不知內(nèi)容的文章去聽(tīng)，這將會(huì)對(duì)你幫助很大，而你去聽(tīng)學(xué)過(guò)的課文的磁帶，那將會(huì)對(duì)你的語(yǔ)言語(yǔ)調(diào)的學(xué)習(xí)有很大的幫助。

三、多“讀”。

“讀”可以分為兩種。一種是“默讀”。每天給予一定時(shí)間的練習(xí)將會(huì)對(duì)你提高閱讀速度有很大的好處，讀的內(nèi)容可以是你的課本，但最好是一些有趣的小讀物，因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在的英語(yǔ)高考越來(lái)越重視閱讀量和閱讀速度。每道題的得分都與你的理解程度有很大關(guān)系，所以經(jīng)過(guò)高中三年閱讀的訓(xùn)練后，你必定會(huì)在高考中勝券在握。另一種是“朗讀”這是學(xué)語(yǔ)言必不可少的一種學(xué)習(xí)途徑。

四、多“寫(xiě)”

有的同學(xué)總是抱怨時(shí)間緊，根本沒(méi)時(shí)間寫(xiě)作文。其實(shí)“寫(xiě)”的形式很多，不一定就寫(xiě)作文才提高寫(xiě)作能力。比如寫(xiě)下你一天中發(fā)生的一些重要的事情，或當(dāng)天學(xué)了某一個(gè)詞組，你可以創(chuàng)設(shè)一個(gè)語(yǔ)境恰如其份地用上這個(gè)詞。這樣即可幫你記住這個(gè)詞的用法，又可以鍛煉你的寫(xiě)作能力，比如學(xué)“wish”一詞時(shí)，可寫(xiě)一小段如下：

The teacher often asks us what we want to be in the future.My good friend Tom wishes to be a soldier.However,I'm different.I wish I were a teacher in the future.But my mother wishes me to be a doctor.只幾句話：但wish的幾種用法已躍然紙上，這樣寫(xiě)下來(lái)印象會(huì)深刻得多，這樣比死記硬背wish的用法也有趣輕松的多。

學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)不用花大塊的時(shí)間，10分鐘的散步可以練“說(shuō)”,吃完飯后可以讀一會(huì)兒英語(yǔ)小說(shuō)，睡前聽(tīng)?zhēng)追昼娪⒄Z(yǔ)，可以使你得到更好地休息……只要你每天抽出一些時(shí)間來(lái)練英語(yǔ)，你的英語(yǔ)成績(jī)肯定會(huì)很快提高的。

1、循環(huán)記憶法

艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線

人的大腦是一個(gè)記憶的寶庫(kù)，人腦經(jīng)歷過(guò)的事物，思考過(guò)的問(wèn)題，體驗(yàn)過(guò)的情感和情緒，練習(xí)過(guò)的動(dòng)作，都可以成為人們記憶的內(nèi)容。例如英文的學(xué)習(xí)中單詞、短語(yǔ)和句子，甚至文章的內(nèi)容都是通過(guò)記憶完成的。從“記”到“憶”是有個(gè)過(guò)程的，這其中包括了識(shí)記、保持、再認(rèn)和回憶。有很多 人在學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的過(guò)程中，只注重了學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)時(shí)的記憶效果，孰不知，要想做好學(xué)習(xí)的記憶工作，是要下一番工夫的，單純的注重當(dāng)時(shí)的記憶效果，而忽視了后期的保持和再認(rèn)同樣是達(dá)不到良好的效果的。

在信息的處理上，記憶是對(duì)輸入信息的編碼、貯存和提取的過(guò)程，從信息處理的角度上，英文的第一次學(xué)習(xí)和背誦只是一個(gè)輸入編碼的過(guò)程。人的記憶的能力從生理上講是十分驚人的，它可以存貯1015比特(byte，字節(jié))的信息，可是每個(gè)人的記憶寶庫(kù)被挖掘的只占10%，還有更多的記憶發(fā)揮空間。這是因?yàn)?，有些人只關(guān)注了記憶的當(dāng)時(shí)效果，卻忽視了記憶中的更大的問(wèn)題--即記憶的牢固度問(wèn)題，那就牽涉到心理學(xué)中常說(shuō)的關(guān)于記憶遺忘的規(guī)律。

一、艾賓浩斯記憶規(guī)律曲線解釋

德國(guó)有一位著名的心理學(xué)家名叫艾賓浩斯(Hermann Ebbinghaus，1850-1909)，他在1885年發(fā)表了他的實(shí)驗(yàn)報(bào)告后，記憶研究就成了心理學(xué)中被研究最多的領(lǐng)域之一，而艾賓浩斯正是發(fā)現(xiàn)記憶遺忘規(guī)律的第一人。

根據(jù)我們所知道的，記憶的保持在時(shí)間上是不同的，有短時(shí)的記憶和長(zhǎng)時(shí)的記憶兩種。而我們平時(shí)的記憶的過(guò)程是這樣的：

輸入的信息在經(jīng)過(guò)人的注意過(guò)程的學(xué)習(xí)后，便成為了人的短時(shí)的記憶，但是如果不經(jīng)過(guò)及時(shí)的復(fù)習(xí)，這些記住過(guò)的東西就會(huì)遺忘，而經(jīng)過(guò)了及時(shí)的復(fù)習(xí)，這些短時(shí)的記憶就會(huì)成為了人的一種長(zhǎng)時(shí)的記憶，從而在大腦中保持著很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間。那么，對(duì)于我們來(lái)講，怎樣才叫做遺忘呢，所謂遺忘就是我們對(duì)于曾經(jīng)記憶過(guò)的東西不能再認(rèn)起來(lái)，也不能回憶起來(lái)，或者是錯(cuò)誤的再認(rèn)和錯(cuò)誤的回憶，這些都是遺忘。艾賓浩斯在做這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)的時(shí)候是拿自己作為測(cè)試對(duì)象的，他得出了一些關(guān)于記憶的結(jié)論。他選用了一些根本沒(méi)有意義的音節(jié)，也就是那些不能拼出單詞來(lái)的眾多字母的組合，比如asww，cfhhj，ijikmb，rfyjbc等等。他經(jīng)過(guò)對(duì)自己的測(cè)試，得到了一些數(shù)據(jù)。

然后，艾賓浩斯又根據(jù)了這些點(diǎn)描繪出了一條曲線，這就是非常有名的揭示遺忘規(guī)律的曲線：艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線，圖中豎軸表示學(xué)習(xí)中記住的知識(shí)數(shù)量，橫軸表示時(shí)間(天數(shù))，曲線表示記憶量變化的規(guī)律。

這條曲線告訴人們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)中的遺忘是有規(guī)律的，遺忘的進(jìn)程不是均衡的，不是固定的一天丟掉幾個(gè)，轉(zhuǎn)天又丟幾個(gè)的，而是在記憶的最初階段遺忘的速度很快，后來(lái)就逐漸減慢了，到了相當(dāng)長(zhǎng)的時(shí)候后，幾乎就不再遺忘了，這就是遺忘的發(fā)展規(guī)律，即“先快后慢”的原則。觀察這條遺忘曲線，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),學(xué)得的知識(shí)在一天后，如不抓緊復(fù)習(xí),就只剩下原來(lái)的25%)。隨著時(shí)間的推移,遺忘的速度減慢，遺忘的數(shù)量也就減少。有人做過(guò)一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)，兩組學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)一段課文，甲組在學(xué)習(xí)后不久進(jìn)行一次復(fù)習(xí)，乙組不予復(fù)習(xí)，一天后甲組保持98%，乙組保持56%；一周后甲組保持83%，乙組保持33%。乙組的遺忘平均值比甲組高。

二、不同性質(zhì)材料有不同的遺忘曲線

而且，艾賓浩斯還在關(guān)于記憶的實(shí)驗(yàn)中發(fā)現(xiàn)，記住12個(gè)無(wú)意義音節(jié)，平均需要重復(fù)16.5次；為了記住36個(gè)無(wú)意義章節(jié)，需重復(fù)54次；而記憶六首詩(shī)中的480個(gè)音節(jié)，平均只需要重復(fù)8次！這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)告訴我們，凡是理解了的知識(shí)，就能記得迅速、全面而牢固。不然，愣是死記硬背，那也是費(fèi)力不討好的。因此，比較容易記憶的是那些有意義的材料，而那些無(wú)意義的材料在記憶的時(shí)候比較費(fèi)力氣，在以后回憶起來(lái)的時(shí)候也很不輕松。因此，艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線是關(guān)于遺忘的一種曲線，而且是對(duì)無(wú)意義的音節(jié)而言，對(duì)于與其他材料的對(duì)比，艾賓浩斯又得出了不同性質(zhì)材料的不同遺忘曲線，不過(guò)他們大體上都是一致的。

因此，艾賓浩斯的實(shí)驗(yàn)向我們充分證實(shí)了一個(gè)道理，學(xué)習(xí)要勤于復(fù)習(xí)，而且記憶的理解效果越好，遺忘的也越慢。

三、不同的人有不同的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線--個(gè)性化的艾賓浩斯

上述的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線是艾賓浩斯在實(shí)驗(yàn)室中經(jīng)過(guò)了大量測(cè)試后，產(chǎn)生了不同的記憶數(shù)據(jù)，從而生成的一種曲線，是一個(gè)具有共性的群體規(guī)律。此記憶曲線并不考慮接受試驗(yàn)個(gè)人的個(gè)性特點(diǎn)，而是尋求一種處于平衡點(diǎn)的記憶規(guī)律。

但是記憶規(guī)律可以具體到我們每個(gè)人，因?yàn)槲覀兊纳硖攸c(diǎn)、生活經(jīng)歷不同，可能導(dǎo)致我們有不同的記憶習(xí)慣、記憶方式、記憶特點(diǎn)。規(guī)律對(duì)于自然人改造世界的行為，只能起一個(gè)催化的作用，如果與每個(gè)人的記憶特點(diǎn)相吻合，那么就如順?biāo)畵P(yáng)帆，一日千里；如果與個(gè)人記憶特點(diǎn)相悖，記憶效果則會(huì)大打折扣。因此，我們要根據(jù)每個(gè)人的不同特點(diǎn)，尋找到屬于自己的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線

2》如何學(xué)英語(yǔ)

下定決心，堅(jiān)持不懈

英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)作為一門(mén)語(yǔ)言技能，通過(guò)大量的訓(xùn)練和練習(xí)任何人是可以掌握的。一般地說(shuō)，英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的原則是聽(tīng)、說(shuō)領(lǐng)先，讀、寫(xiě)跟上。李揚(yáng)的瘋狂英語(yǔ)提倡，首先建立起我能學(xué)好英語(yǔ)的信心，然后以句子為單位，大量地模仿，瘋狂地操練，大聲地朗讀，最后達(dá)到自如地說(shuō)英語(yǔ)，他的方法對(duì)提高說(shuō)英語(yǔ)的能力很奏效。鐘道隆教授45歲開(kāi)始學(xué)英語(yǔ)，一年后，學(xué)成出國(guó)當(dāng)口語(yǔ)翻譯，并創(chuàng)造了逆苦惱、逆急于求成、逆速成的逆向?qū)W習(xí)英語(yǔ)的方法。他還提出學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)要遵循聽(tīng)、寫(xiě)、說(shuō)、背、想的方法，他的方法強(qiáng)調(diào)以聽(tīng)為主，并且把所聽(tīng)到的內(nèi)容全部寫(xiě)下來(lái)。尤其是他的學(xué)習(xí)精神最可佳，他學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)用壞了十幾臺(tái)錄音機(jī)，你可想象他聽(tīng)了多少英語(yǔ)；用完的圓珠筆芯幾乎裝滿了一個(gè)一拉罐，你可想象他寫(xiě)了多少，在一年半內(nèi)，累計(jì)業(yè)余學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)時(shí)間大約三千小時(shí)，也就說(shuō)每天抽出幾個(gè)小時(shí)來(lái)學(xué)英語(yǔ)。如果我們做到他那樣，一定也能學(xué)好英語(yǔ)。最重要的是堅(jiān)持，只要能下定決心，堅(jiān)持每天至少一個(gè)小時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)，戰(zhàn)勝自我最后肯定會(huì)有收獲的。

注意方法，循序漸進(jìn) 決心下定，還注意學(xué)習(xí)方法，有時(shí)根據(jù)自己的情況和不同的學(xué)習(xí)目的，選擇不同的學(xué)習(xí)方法，但是學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)一定要踏踏實(shí)實(shí)地、一步一個(gè)腳印地走。要把基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)掌握好，也就是說(shuō)，發(fā)音要正確、基本詞匯要掌握牢、基本句式要熟練、基本語(yǔ)法要會(huì)用。

（1）要過(guò)好語(yǔ)音關(guān)。把每一個(gè)音標(biāo)發(fā)正確，注意改正有問(wèn)題的音素，特別是那些容易混淆的音素，盡早地掌握國(guó)際音標(biāo)，并盡量的掌握一些讀音規(guī)則，盡快地能利用讀音規(guī)則來(lái)拼單詞，掌握讀音規(guī)則對(duì)單詞的記憶和拼寫(xiě)非常有用。

（2）掌握一定數(shù)量的英語(yǔ)單詞。對(duì)于學(xué)習(xí)者來(lái)說(shuō)掌握英語(yǔ)詞匯是一難關(guān)，學(xué)習(xí)單詞要從單詞的形、音、義這三方面去掌握，要注意單詞的一詞多義，一詞多類的用法，要學(xué)會(huì)一些構(gòu)詞法的知識(shí)，來(lái)擴(kuò)展詞匯量。學(xué)習(xí)單詞要在語(yǔ)言材料中去學(xué)，要結(jié)合詞組，通過(guò)句子，閱讀文章來(lái)活記單詞，死記的單詞是記不牢的。堅(jiān)持在讀、說(shuō)前，先反復(fù)聽(tīng)，聽(tīng)的時(shí)候反應(yīng)單詞、句子的意思和節(jié)奏，想一下單詞的拼法、句子結(jié)構(gòu)。并要同學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)法規(guī)則有機(jī)結(jié)合起來(lái)進(jìn)行。

（3）掌握好基本語(yǔ)法。語(yǔ)法在學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)中也很重要，它能幫助我們把握住英語(yǔ)的基本規(guī)律，通過(guò)例句或語(yǔ)言現(xiàn)象把死的語(yǔ)法規(guī)則要記住，活的規(guī)則要通過(guò)做大量的練習(xí)掌握?？傊畬W(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)要通過(guò)聽(tīng)、說(shuō)、讀、寫(xiě)、譯來(lái)進(jìn)行操練，不但要注意數(shù)量，更重要的是要注意質(zhì)量，尤其是基本知識(shí)要掌握的準(zhǔn)確，熟練。只有經(jīng)過(guò)大量的實(shí)踐，才能做到熟能生巧，運(yùn)用自如。

提前預(yù)習(xí)，有的放矢

作為學(xué)生，在每次上課前，都要對(duì)要學(xué)的課文提前預(yù)習(xí)。首先在音標(biāo)的幫助下試著拼讀單詞，也可以借助配套磁帶反復(fù)聽(tīng)，對(duì)比一下，把握不準(zhǔn)的要標(biāo)出來(lái)，注意上課老師的發(fā)音，還要記一下單詞的漢語(yǔ)意思和詞性。借助課文的注釋或輔導(dǎo)材料，預(yù)習(xí)一遍課文，找出不明白的地方，做到心中有數(shù)，在教師講課時(shí)注意聽(tīng)這些地方。總之，預(yù)習(xí)的目的是熟悉要學(xué)的內(nèi)容，找出不明白的地方，帶著問(wèn)題聽(tīng)課，做到有的放矢。

認(rèn)真聽(tīng)課，積極配合

課堂是老師與學(xué)生一起學(xué)習(xí)、掌握、運(yùn)用知識(shí)的主要場(chǎng)所。作為起主導(dǎo)作用的老師一方引導(dǎo)學(xué)生搞好課堂教學(xué)是很必要的，但也需要學(xué)習(xí)者的積極配合。上課要專心聽(tīng)講、作好筆記、認(rèn)真操練、積極思考。預(yù)習(xí)時(shí)出現(xiàn)的問(wèn)題在課堂上教師沒(méi)有講到的，要向老師提出，把問(wèn)題搞清楚，老師講授的問(wèn)題，先注意聽(tīng)，下課后整理一下筆記，反復(fù)思考一下這些問(wèn)題，抓住老師所講的重點(diǎn)，難點(diǎn)和考點(diǎn)?？傊?，上課時(shí)要做到耳聽(tīng)、眼觀、嘴動(dòng)、腦想，調(diào)動(dòng)起多個(gè)感官來(lái)。

完成作業(yè)，找出問(wèn)題

學(xué)完每一課，要認(rèn)真完成課后作業(yè)。做作業(yè)時(shí)一定不要看參考書(shū)上題的答案，做完后再對(duì)答案，對(duì)于作業(yè)中所出現(xiàn)的不明白的問(wèn)題，應(yīng)該記下來(lái)，等下次上課時(shí)提出來(lái)。做作業(yè)是英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)的很重要的環(huán)節(jié)，它是消化知識(shí)和鞏固知識(shí)的過(guò)程，一定要認(rèn)真完成規(guī)定的作業(yè)，筆頭作業(yè)要?jiǎng)右粍?dòng)筆，口頭作業(yè)要?jiǎng)右粍?dòng)嘴，提高聽(tīng)力要練一練耳，課文在聽(tīng)和讀的基礎(chǔ)上，最好背誦某些精彩段落?？傊?，要做大量的練習(xí)，英語(yǔ)是練出來(lái)的，一定不要偷懶。

及時(shí)復(fù)習(xí)，鞏固知識(shí)

學(xué)會(huì)了的東西隨著時(shí)間的流逝會(huì)逐漸遺忘，但學(xué)語(yǔ)言有遺忘現(xiàn)象是正常的。更不必因?yàn)橛羞z忘現(xiàn)象而影響自己學(xué)好英語(yǔ)的信心與決心。問(wèn)題在于怎樣來(lái)減輕遺忘的程度。善于類比，總結(jié)知識(shí)，把新學(xué)的知識(shí)同過(guò)去學(xué)的有關(guān)的知識(shí)進(jìn)行橫向和縱向比較和聯(lián)系。建立錯(cuò)誤檔案記錄，加深印象，以避免再反同樣錯(cuò)誤。我們大部分知識(shí)和技能是靠重復(fù)獲得的，及時(shí)復(fù)習(xí)對(duì)于記憶非常必要，學(xué)英語(yǔ)就是要堅(jiān)持天天不斷的練，不斷地重復(fù)基本句型，常用詞匯和基本語(yǔ)法等。學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的過(guò)程也是同遺忘做斗爭(zhēng)的過(guò)程。

總而言之，只要你能做到下定決心學(xué)，注意學(xué)習(xí)方法，把課前預(yù)習(xí)，認(rèn)真聽(tīng)課，完成作業(yè)，及時(shí)復(fù)習(xí)這些環(huán)節(jié)作好了，你一定能夠?qū)W好英語(yǔ)

W: Not yet.It still seems impossible to make him smile.Talking to him is really difficult and he gets upset easily over little things.Q: What do we learn about John from the conversation? 17.M: Do we have to get the opera tickets in advance? W: Certainly.Tickets at the door are usually sold at a higher price.Q: What does the woman imply? 18.M: The taxi driver must have been speeding.W: Well, not really.He crashed into the tree because he was trying not to hit a box that had fallen off the truck ahead of him.Q: What do we learn about the taxi driver?

Long Conversations Conversation 1 W: Hey, Bob, guess what? I’m going to visit Quebec next summer.I’m invited to go to a friend’s wedding.But while I’m there I’d also like to do some sightseeing.M: That’s nice, Shelly.But do you mean the province of Quebec, or Quebec City? W: I mean the province.My friend’s wedding is in Montreal.I’m going there first.I’ll stay for five days.Is Montreal the capital city of the province?

My French is OK, but not that good.I know most people there speak French, but can I also use English? M: Well, People speak both French and English there.But you’ll hear French most of the time.And all the street signs are in French.In fact, Montreal is the third largest French speaking city in the world.So you’d better practice your French before you go.W: Good advice.What about Quebec City? I’ll visit a friend from college who lives there now.What’s it like?

W: I wrote my first Finnish(finished)story when I was about six.It was about a small animal, a rabbit, I mean.And I’ve been writing ever since? M: Why did you choose to be an author? W: If someone asked me how to achieve happiness.Step 1 would be finding out what you love doing most.Step two would be finding someone to pay you to do this.I consider myself very lucky indeed to be able to support myself by writing M: Do you have any plans to write books for adults? W: My first two novels were for adults.I suppose I might write another one.But I never really imagine a target audience when I’m writing.The ideas come first.So it really depends on the ideas that grasp me next.M: where did the ideas for the “Harry Potter” books come from? W: I’ve no ideas where the ideas came from.And I hope I’ll never find out.It would spoil my excitement if it turned out I just have a funny wrinkle on the surface of my brain, which makes me think about the invisible train platform.M: How did you come up with the names of your characters? W: I invented some of them.But I also collected strange names.I’ve got one from ancient saints, maps, dictionaries, plants, war memoirs and people I met.M: Oh, you are really resourceful.Questions: 22.What do we learn from the conversation about Miss Rowling’s first book? 23.Why does Miss Rowling consider her so very lucky? 24.What dictates Miss Rowling’s writing? 25.According to Miss Rowling where did she get the ideas for the Harry Porter books?

Section B Passage 1 Reducing the amount of sleep students get at night has a direct impact on their performance at school during the day.According to classroom teachers, elementary and middle school students who stay up late exhibit more learning and attention problems.This has been shown by Brown Medical School and Bradley Hospital research.In the study, teachers were not told the amount of sleep students received when completing weekly performance reports, yet they rated the students who had received eight hours or less as having the most trouble recalling all the material，learning new lessons and completing high-quality work.Teachers also reported that these students had more difficulty paying attention.The experiment is the first to ask teachers to report on the effects of sleep deficiency in children.Just staying up late can cause increased academic difficulty and attention problems for otherwise healthy, well-functioning kids, said Garharn Forlone, the study’s lead author.So the results provide professionals and parents with a clear message: when a child is having learning and attention problems, the issue of sleep has to be taken into consideration.“If we don’t ask about sleep, and try to improve sleep patterns in kids’ struggling academically, then we aren’t doing our job”, Forlone said.For parents, he said, the message is simple, “getting kids to bed on time is as important as getting them to school on time”.Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.26.What were teachers told to do in the experiment? 27.According to the experiment, what problem can insufficient sleep cause in students? 28.What message did the researcher intend to convey to parents?

Passage 2

Patricia Pania never wanted to be a public figure.All she wanted to be was a mother and home-maker.But her life was turned upside down when a motorist, distracted by his cell phone, ran a stop sign and crashed into the side of her car.The impact killed her 2-year-old daughter.Four months later, Pania reluctantly but courageously decided to try to educate the public and to fight for laws to ban drivers from using cell phones while a car is moving.She wanted to save other children from what happened to her daughter.In her first speech, Pania got off to a shaky start.She was visibly trembling and her voice was soft and uncertain.But as she got into her speech, a dramatic transformation took place.She stopped shaking and spoke with a strong voice.For the rest of her talk, she was a forceful and compelling speaker.She wanted everyone in the audience to know what she knew without having to learn it from a personal tragedy.Many in the audience were moved to tears and to action.In subsequent presentations, Pania gained reputation as a highly effective speaker.Her appearance on a talk show was broadcast three times, transmitting her message to over 40 million people.Her campaign increased public awareness of the problem, and prompted over 300 cities and several states to consider restrictions on cell phone use.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29.What was the significant change in Patricia Pania’s life? 30.What had led to Pania’s personal tragedy? 31.How did Pania feel when she began her first speech? 32.What could be expected as a result of Pania’s efforts?

Passage 3

Many people catch a cold in the spring time or fall.It makes us wonder if scientists can send a man to the moon.Why can’t they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy.There’re actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there.You never know which one you will get, so there isn’t a cure for each one.When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it.Blood rushes to your nose and causes a blockade in it.You feel terrible because you can’t breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus.Your temperature rises and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus.You also have a running nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells.You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.Different people have different remedies for colds.In the United States and some other countries, for example, people might eat chicken soup to feel better.Some people take hot bath and drink warm liquids.Other people take medicines to relieve various symptoms of colds.There was one interesting thing to note.Some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you.The virus stays in you longer, because your body doesn’t develop a way to fight it and kill it.Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33.According to the passage, why haven’t scientists found a cure for the common cold? 34.What does the speaker say about the symptoms of the common cold? 35.What do some scientists say about taking medicines for the common cold, according to the passage?

Section C: Compound dictation

You probably have noticed that people express similar ideas in different ways depending on the situation they are in.This is very natural.All languages have two general levels of usage: a formal level and an informal level.English is no exception.The difference in these two levels is the situation in which you use a particular level.Formal language is the kind of language you find in textbooks, reference books and in business letters.You would also use formal English in compositions and essays that you write in school.Informal language is used in conversation with colleagues, family members and friends, and when we write personal notes or letters to close friends.Formal language is different from informal language in several ways.First, formal language tends to be more polite.What we may find interesting is that it usually takes more words to be polite.For example, I might say to a friend or a family member “Close the door, please”, but to a stranger, I probably would say “Would you mind closing the door?” Another difference between formal and informal language is some of the vocabulary.There are bound to be some words and phrases that belong in formal language and others that are informal.Let’s say that I really like soccer.If I am talking to my friend, I might say “I am just crazy about soccer”, but if I were talking to my boss, I would probably say “I really enjoy soccer”.沒(méi)事就用這些詞練練你的嘴皮子~~

Section B

Passage One

Pamcla Royal and her partner, Edith Clark, are the owners of the Sea View Hotel in Brighton.As much of their business is seasonal, they do a good deal of the work themselves.In order to

make a profit, it is necessary to keep down the cost of extra staff.Although they will never make a

fortune, for the last ten years they have earned a reasonable living from the hotel.They work extremely will together and each has her own duties.In general, Pamela does the book

keeping.She is excellent with figures and seldom makes a mistake.She also takes care of the

decorations, particularly the flower arranging, which is her hobby.Edith, on the other hand, makes

all the staff arrangements, and when necessary does the cooking.She is a very patient woman, and

if guests make complaints she tries her best to solve their problem.However, the two ladies do not do all the work themselves.They usually employ college students

to do the cleaning and the washing up.Bob Albert, who is a retired policeman, goes in two hours a

day to do the gardening, or take care of the swimming pool.Both ladies are very popular.They believe in having an informal relationship with the guests, and

often make friends with their regular visitors.Last month was their tenth anniversary in Brighton,and they had a dinner with their friends to celebrate.Pamela gave a speech and everyone wished

them lots of success for the future.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11.How do Pamela and Edith manage to keep down the cost of the hotel?

12.What jobs in the hotel are given to the college students?

13.Why are the two ladies popular in the area?Passage Two

Some people dream of being President of the United States.Some dream of becoming stars in a

Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight.But, could a dream like that

come true in real life? Well, it did happen to peter Johnson.Peter was an auto mechanic.One day, he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore and took

5,000 dollars that did not belong to him.The guards and other employees stood back and let him

stuff the bills in his shirt and pants without trying to prevent him from taking the money.(16)No

one tripped an alarm.No one pulled a gun.No one called the police.Why did the allow him to get

away with it?

Well, everything was legal.Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station.The

first prize entitled him to enter the union Trust bank and gather up as much money as he could lay

his hands within five minutes.Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank,all the money had to be placed in his pockets.As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly, trying to pick up as many large bills as he could find.When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was $ 5,000 richer.Questions 14 to 17 are based on the passage you have just heard.14.Why did peter go to the Union Trust bank?

15.What was Peter's job?

16.What did the guards do when Peter stared gathering the money?

17.Why didn't Peter take more money from the bank?Passage Three

Larry Smith is one of the rescuers on the Golden Gate Bridge.His job is to save people who

attempt to jump into the sea.If the telephone rings at three in the morning, he knows it's trouble.Someone is threatening to commit suicide.Larry will get his things ready, and in no time he'll be

out the door and heading to the spot.“If you aren't too late,” Larry says, “you climb out onto the cold steel and try to talk to the poor,and pull him anyhow back to safety.For many suicide attempts are made on the spur of the

moment, and lives can be saved.But if you fall, if the person jumps into the bottomless pool,there's no describing how helpless you feel.Often, would-be jumpers are driven to despair and

see no hope out of their misery.The trick is to open channels of communication with them.Following are some tricks that have worked: 'If you're going to jump, at least give me your mom's

phone number so I can call and tell her.'Or' That's a nice watch.If you're going to jump, can I

have it?' Sometimes, all it takes is the voice of the human being who cares.”

Larry estimates he has rescued about thirty people in his ten years of service.Questions 18 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.18.What is Larry's job?

19.What is happening if Larry's phone rings at 3 o'clock in the morning?

20.What does Larry Smith usually do to stop someone from jumping off the bridge?

Section B

Passage 1

My father woke me up early one morning when I was fourteen and announced “Get up, you are going with me to cut grass.” I felt proud and excited because my father thought I was responsible enough to help him in his business.Still, that first day was very hard.From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I cut and t very large yards in well-to-do part of the city.By the end of the day I was exhausted, but I felt good.I put out a hard day's labor and earned six dollars.One day, my father spotted some weeds I have miss cutting and pulled me inside.“Cut that section again!” he said firmly “and don't make me have to tell you again.” The message was very clear.Today I stress the importance of doing the job right the first time.Every job I have held from cutting lawns to wash dishes to working a machine on the construction site.I have learned something that help me in my next job.If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.Q: How did the speaker feel when his father asked him to help cut grass? 13 Q: What did his father do when the speaker missed cutting some leaves?14 Q:What did the speak want to tell us in this passage?

Passage B

I am living in a small village in the country.My wife and I run a village shop.We have a very peaceful live, boring some my say.But we love it.We know all the people in the village.They have plenty of time to stop and chat.I have plenty of time for my hobbies too--gardening, fishing, walking in the country side.I love the outdoor life.It wasn't always like this though I used to have a really stressful job, working so late in the office every evening.I often bring work home at the weekends.The advertising world is very competitive.And when I look back, I can't imagine how I stood it.I have no private life at all.No time for the really important things in life.Because of the pressure of the job, I used to smoke and drink too much.The crisis came when my wife left me.She complaint that she never saw me and I had no time for family life.This made me realize what is really important to me.I talked things through with her and decided to get back together and started a new and better life together.I gave up tobacco and alcohol and searched for new hobbies.Now I am afraid of looking back since the past life seemed like a horrible dream.What did the speaker do for a living?What do we know about the speaker's life in the past?What made the speaker change his life style?

Passage 3

”Where is the university?" is the question many visitors to Cambridge ask.But no one could point at any one direction because there is no campus.The university consists of 31 self-governing colleges.It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories, museums and offices throughout the city.Individual colleges choose their own students who have to meet their minimum entrance requirements set by the university.And the graduates usually live and study in their colleges but they are taught in very full groups.Lectures and laboratories and practical work are organized by the university and held in university buildings.There are over ten thousand undergraduates and three thousand five hundred post-graduates.About 40% of them are women and some 8% from overseas.As well as teaching, research is of major importance.Since the beginning of the twentieth century, more than sixty university members have won Nobel prizes.The university has

a huge number of buildings for teaching and research.It has more than 60 specialist subject libraries as well as the university library, which as the copy-right libraries, is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain.Examinations are held and degrees are awarded by the

university.It allowed women to take the university exams in the 1881, but it was the not until 1941 that they were awarded degrees.Why is it difficult to located Cambridge University?What does the passage tell us about the colleges of the university?19 What can be learnt from the passage about the libraries in Cambridge University?What does we know from the passage tell us about the women students in Cambridge university?

Section B Compound Dictation

It's difficult to imagine the sea ever running out of fish.It's so vast, so deep, so mysterious.Unfortunately, it's not bottomless.Over-fishing, coupled with destructive fishing practices, is killing off the fish and ruining their environment.Destroy the fish, and you destroy the fishermen's means of living.At least 60 percent of the world's commercially important fish species are already

over-fished, or fished to the limit.As a result, governments have had to close down some areas of sea to commercial fishing.Big, high-tech fleets ensure that everything in their path is pulled out of water.Anything too small, or the wrong thing, is thrown back either dead or dying.That's an average of more than 20 million metric tons every year.When you consider that equal a quarter of the world catch, you begin to see the sides of the problem.In some parts of the world, for every kilogram of prawns(對(duì)蝦)caught, up to 15 kilograms of unsuspecting fish and other marine wildlife die, simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.True, some countries are beginning to deal with this problem, but it is vital we find rational ways of fishing, before every ocean becomes a dead sea.It would make sense to give the fish enough time to recover, grow to full sizes and

reproduce, then catch them in a way that doesn't kill other innocent sea life.
