What do we learn about Kim from the passage? Passage Three Proverbs, sometimes called sayings, are examples of folk wisdom. They are little lessons which older people of a culture pass down to the younger people to teach them about life. Many proverbs remind people of the values that are important in the culture. Values teach people how to act, what is right, and what is wrong. Because the values of each culture are different, understanding the values of another culture helps explain how people think and act. Understanding your own culture values is important too. If you can accept that people from other cultures act according to their values, not yours, getting along with them will be much easier. Many proverbs are very old. So some of the values they teach may not be as important in the culture as they once were. For example, Americans today do not pay much attention to the proverb “Haste makes waste”, because patience is not important to them. But if you know about past values, it helps you to understand the present and many of the older values are still strong today. Benjamin Franklin, a famous American diplomat, writer and scientist, died in 1790, but his proverb “Time is money” is taken more seriously by Americans of today than ever before. A study of proverbs from around the world shows that some values are shared by many cultures. In many cases though, the same idea is expressed differently. Questions 33 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. 33. Why are proverbs so important? 34. According to the speaker what happens to some proverbs with the passage of time? 35 What do we learn from the study of proverbs from around the world? Section C Compound Dictation Our lives are woven together. As much as I enjoy my own pany, I no longer imagine I can get through a single day much less all my life pletely on my own. Even if I am on vacation in the mountains, I am eating food someone else has grown, living in a house someone else has built, wearing clothes someone else has sewn from cloth woven by others, using electricity someone else is distributing to my house. Evidence of interdependence is everywhere。 we are on this journey together. As I was growing up, I remember being carefully taught that independence not interdependence was everything. “Make your own way”,” Stand on your own two feet” or my mother’s favorite remark when I was facetoface with consequences of some action: Now that you’ve made your bed, lie on it. Total independence is a dominant thing in our culture. I imagine that what my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibilities for my actions and my choices. But the teaching was shaped by our cultural imagines. And instead, I grew up believing that I was supposed to be totally independent and consequently became very reluctant to ask for help. I would do almost anything not to be a burden, and not require any help from anybody. 聽(tīng)力答案： 11. ^^ask the staff ^^ TV program13.^^^^^^ missing her flight a restaurant 15^^^^of the woman 16.^^^^alowrent apartment 17.^^^otpic more focuse 18,they didnot 19,he likes 20,the cold 21 depressing 22they work 23,french 24,careers 25,its26 the art of 27to enhance 28how listeners 29 directing 30twoofhis employee 31advancement 32sheis peting 33The help wording 36pany 37single 38pletely39vacation 40built 41ecectricity42 evidence 43journey 本次 聽(tīng)力考試長(zhǎng)對(duì)話第一篇難度略低與以往水平，話題關(guān)于瑞典的天氣和生活方式，對(duì)話以 man speaker 提供信息為主， woman speaker 穿針引線，所以大家集中精力聽(tīng) man speaker 的話即可。 文章大意：對(duì)話先談?wù)摿巳鸬涞募竟?jié)，冬天異常寒冷，低至零下 26 度，但是室內(nèi)非常溫暖，所以瑞典人到了英國(guó)會(huì)抱怨室內(nèi)溫度低。接下來(lái)討論了不同季節(jié)的日光長(zhǎng)度，圣誕節(jié)期間每天只有 1 小時(shí)光照，而五月到七月，直到午夜還有還有日照，所以瑞典享有 “The Land of Midnight Sun”的美譽(yù)。瑞典人夏季很早上班 ，下午 2， 3 點(diǎn)就下班，享受漫長(zhǎng)的夏季夜晚。他們的生活方式用原文中的一句話來(lái)概述就是 “They like to work hard, but play hard too.”。 出題點(diǎn)有 4 處，全部為細(xì)節(jié)題，第 19 題： “What do we learn about the man from the conversation?”，答案出現(xiàn)在對(duì)話開(kāi)篇。第 20 題 : “What do Swedish people plain about when they visit England in winter?”，答 案出現(xiàn)在文中，瑞典人拜訪英國(guó)會(huì)抱怨英國(guó)人的室內(nèi)很冷。第 21 題 “How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden？ ”， man speaker 的評(píng)論是 “a bit depressing ”. 第 22 題 “What does the man say about the Swedish people?”，瑞典人工作努力，也很會(huì)享受盛會(huì)。 考場(chǎng)上，大家只要能 follow the man speaker’s track，抓住細(xì)節(jié)，就一定會(huì)找出答案。Wish all of you good luck! 本次四級(jí)第二篇長(zhǎng)對(duì)話難度不高，話題是考生很熟悉的校園學(xué)習(xí)類。從對(duì)話的語(yǔ)氣中可以猜出是學(xué)妹在請(qǐng)教學(xué)長(zhǎng)關(guān)于工作所需的教育背景。 考查長(zhǎng)對(duì)話一般是看兩人談話會(huì)有幾個(gè)話題，換一個(gè)話題就會(huì)相應(yīng)地?fù)Q一個(gè)問(wèn)題。這篇考試也不例外，三個(gè)問(wèn)題分別是 1. 男人的專業(yè)？ 2. 男人在中學(xué)的工作？ 學(xué)的原因？ 1 和 3 尤其好辨別，相信同學(xué)們做對(duì)基本的 2 道題是肯定沒(méi)有問(wèn)題的。 抓住了 “話題轉(zhuǎn)換有考題 ”的技巧后，再運(yùn)用 我們課上反復(fù)強(qiáng)調(diào)的 “聽(tīng)到什么選什么 ”的技巧，那答案就呼之欲出了。比如 1應(yīng)該是 French, 2 是 career work, 3是 campus environment.再加上我們上課教的學(xué)習(xí)場(chǎng)景詞匯中的高頻詞 degree, secondary school, administration, literature, campus, major。如果考生在考場(chǎng)上能及時(shí)激活，那文章的大意一定非常明了。 Passage 2 難度適中，話題是升職，屬于商務(wù)工作場(chǎng)景，大意是 Chris 作為公司的采購(gòu)部的職員希望得到提 升，但是遇到了同是采購(gòu)部的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手 Kim， Kim 受到領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的喜歡而且表現(xiàn)也不錯(cuò)。原文描述了 Chris 和 Kim 在公司中的表現(xiàn)。涉及到的?？荚~匯有： purchase, maintenance, interview， salary, promotion, equipment, employee, responsibility。這些詞匯在聽(tīng)力商務(wù)場(chǎng)景中講過(guò)，要求大家必背的。在閱讀課上商務(wù)類文章中也講過(guò)數(shù)次。接下來(lái)我們看看具體的題目和答案所在處。 Question 29: what is Chris’s main responsibility at Texalon pany? 我們課堂上說(shuō)篇章一般開(kāi)頭 30 秒會(huì)有一題的答案，這題的答案在第一句話。 Chris is in charge of purchasing and maintaining equipment in his
