13.W: Airport, please.I’m running a little late.So just take the fastest way even if it’s not the most direct.M: Sure, but there is a lot of traffic everywhere today because of the football game.Q: What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?

14.W: May I make a recommendation, sir? Our seafood with this special sauce is very good.M: Thank you, but I don’t eat shellfish.I’m allergic to it.Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

15.W: now one more question if you don’t mind, what position in the company appeals to you most?

16.M: I don’t think I want to live in the dormitory next year.I need more privacy.W: I know what you mean.But check out the cost if renting an apartment first.I won’t be surprised if you change your mind.Q: What does the woman imply?

Long Conversation

Conversation One

M: When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons.W: The seasons?

M: Yeah, you know how cold it is in winter? What is it like when the days are so short? W: So what is it like?

M: Well, it is cold ,very cold in winter.Sometimes it is cold as 26 degrees below centigrade.And of course when you go out, you’ll wrap up warm.But inside in the houses it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home.Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.W: And what about the darkness? M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really looks forward to the spring.It is sometimes a bit depressing.But you see the summers are amazing, from May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never sets.It’s still light in the midnight.You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun.M: Yeah, that’s right, but it’s wonderful.You won’t stay up all night.And the Swedes makes most of it often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings.They’d like to work hard, but play hard, too.I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure this is a good thing.Q19: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

Q20: What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter? Q21: How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden? Q21: What does the man say about the Swedish people?

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短對話答案

Section A長對話答案

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）。選項中B提到了robbery，但是對話中沒有說明女士是受害者（victim）；D選項提到了她目擊了某個犯罪經(jīng)過，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.，對應(yīng)選項A。

21.What did the man finally asked the woman to do? 【答案】A Identify the suspect from pictures.【解析】對話結(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照片來辨別嫌疑人。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。在對話一開始，女士就說到她的目的：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源是the paper last night，對應(yīng)A選項。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。

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】對話中女士希望得到面試機(jī)會，但是男士要求先要遞交書面申請（reply a writing to the advertisement），并不是所有人都能得到面試機(jī)會，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，孩子們以為來救援的消防人員是怪獸，所以躲起來。所以選D。其他選項文中都沒有涉及到。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，讓他們熟悉消防人員及消防工具的過程。選項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工作上，C、D選項很容易就可以排除。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。做題時一定要把人名及其所做的事準(zhǔn)確對應(yīng)起來。What message is the speaker trying to convey? 【解析】D)Informative speeches can save lives.主旨題，本文舉了一個大例子，一下小例子來證明教育性的演說有救人性命的好處。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。其他幾個選項都主要講細(xì)節(jié)處，很容易就可以排除。

聽力答案及解析（SecB 第二篇）

聽力文章分析： 本篇聽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”。本篇聽力不是太難，沒有較難的詞匯，雖然有幾個需要注意的句式，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了這三個主要的點(diǎn)。由此可見，聽聽力的時候依然首先要從全文來把握，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，以及作者本人對這些事情的看法，遇到與此相關(guān)的信號詞或者關(guān)鍵詞時就一定要注意重點(diǎn)記憶。

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

A)They may have to continue to work in old age.本題考察后果，問只為當(dāng)下而活的人面臨著什么危險，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，及在年老時有可能不得不繼續(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誤，所以選B，即趁著自己還可以的時候要懂得享受生活

2010年12月四級聽力篇章難度與以往持平，沒有太大的提高或降低，文字長度依舊是250字左右，題材是記敘文和說明文，介紹人物故事和社會生活。解題方法可以采用取頭取尾地方法，運(yùn)用這個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)的兒童做了一個講座，告訴他們在大火中看到消防員一定要出來，而不要找角落里躲避起來。這篇文章的大意可以再開頭第一句“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躲起來的答案，也可以得出第29題的答案作者想通過這篇文章的出什么結(jié)論。

第二篇說明文介紹社會生活，主題是我們是否應(yīng)該在年輕的時候拼命工作準(zhǔn)備好養(yǎng)老金。開頭第一句話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。開頭第一句話說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.一些高中生犯了錯所有的高中生都會受到懲罰。作者開門見山的提出了一個非常不公平的待遇，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有偷東西卻當(dāng)做做小偷。這個故事即是第35題的答案。
