1999年西语专四听力材料
Actualmente, los jóvenes espa?oles ya son muy distintos de los de la década sesenta. Son más estudiosos y más conservadores. Creen en la libertad, el amor y el éxito, pero también en Dios y en el matrimonio. Parecen haber olvidado revoluciones de otros tiempos. Defienden la democracia y se quedan, cada vez más tiempo, en casa. Muchas cosas han cambiado.
Estos jóvenes también están preocupados por la pérdida de trabajo, la falta de dinero y la soledad. Quieren tener una sociedad con normas, un trabajo bien pagado y además bien interesante. Proteger el medio ambiente y mantener la paz mundial también constituyen sus principales preocupaciones. Entre sus preferencias para ocupar el tiempo libre están dos tipos de actividades: salir con amigos y viajar.

En la historia espa?ola, el matrimonio de Isabel de Castilla y Fernando de Aragón fue muy importante, porque la boda sentó la base de la unión posterior de toda la Península Ibérica.
La boda fue celabrada en 1469, en un día frío y gris. Entonces los dos eran jóvenes. El tenía diecisiete a?os y ella, dieciocho. En ese a?o Castilla era todavía un reino con muchos problemas. Pero Isabel, después de casarse con Fernando, pudo reinar la zona con el apoyo firme de su esposo. Los dos habían conseguido casarse, no sin dificultades. Fernando era un joven fuerte, no muy alto, de cara agradable y mirada alegre y viva, su cabello largo y abundante. Era inteligente y valiente. Isabel era bella. Tenía los ojos verdes y el pelo rubio. No era alta, pero tampoco baja. Su cara hermosa dejaba ver una gran elegancia y una fina educación. Los dos estaban muy preocupados en aquel momento, porque el hermano de Isabel, el rey Enrique estaba en contra de su matrimonio. Ella vivía bajo la vigilancia de su hermano. Este quiso casarla con casi todos los
príncipes herederos de Europa. Desde los tres a?os, ya prometió casarla con diferentes hombres. También pensóen Fernando, pero como más tarde se hizo enemigo el padre de éste, cambióde idea. Incluso Isabel estuvo a punto de verse casada con un hombre mucho mayor que ella, que murió cuando venía a celebrar la boda.
Entre todos los que querían casarse con ella, Isabel prefirióal príncipe de Aragón, su primo Don Fernando. Hacía tiempo que había enviado a gente para que le hablara con claridad de cómo era Fernando, cuál era su aspecto físico y cuál era su carácter. Supo que era muy valiente en las guerras. Durante mucho tiempo, Fernando e Isabel hicieron esfuerzos para huir de la vigilancia del rey y enviarse mensajes. Aprovechando la oportunidad de que el Rey Enrique no estaba, ya que había ido uegentemente a Andalucía, Fernando se marchó hacia Castilla para celebrar la boda con Isabel. Compróun collar de perlas y pidiódinero prestado para celebrar las bodas, porque el reino de su padre estaba muy pobre con motivo de las largas guerras. Fernando pasó por unos caminos difíciles y superómuchos peligros para llegar a Castilla. Pasó la noche con sus únicos cuatro acompa?antes. Los dos se vieron por primera vez en V alladolid. Allí se conocieron y estaban muy contentos de ver realizar pronto sus planes.
Las bodas ses celebraron cuatro días más tarde en el mismo V alladolid. El rey Enrique estaba tan furioso con la noticia que no
contestó la carta enviada por su hermana Isabel.
En el matrimonio triunfóel amor, pero también triunfaron unos intereses políticos. A?os más tarde, ambos reyes unieron los dos reinos más importantes de la península y se aceleró el proceso de la unidad de toda Espa?a.

英语专业四级考试1993年——203年听写原文 1993 Package Holidays Package holidays, covering a two weeks' stay in an attractive place, are increasingly popular. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination．Everything is laid on for you．There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother to arrange anything yourselves．You make friends and have a good time. But there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people．This is even less likely on a coach tour, when you spend almost your entire time traveling．Of course, there are carefully planned stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient. But time is always short．There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend you holiday with a group of people you have never met before． (1994) The American Family The American family unit is changing. There used to be mainly two types of families, the extended and the nuclear. The former included mother, father, children, and some other relatives such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby. Then as the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people began moving to different parts of the country in order to search for job opportunities. These moves split up the extended family. The nuclear family consisting of only parents and children has therefore become far more wide spread. Today’s family, however, can be composed of diverse co mbinations. With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there's an increase in single-parent homes—a father or mother living with one or more children. Blended families occur when divorced men and women remarry and combine the children from former marriages into a new family. On the other hand, there is an increase in childless couples while one in rive Americans lives alone. (1995) Unidentified Flying Objects There are many explanations for why UFOs visit the Earth. / The most popular one is that they maybe visitors from other planets./ To fly such aircraft, their builders must develop different forms of aviation,/because they seem to fly much faster than normal aircraft./ The UFOs, it is believed, must contain scientists/ from other planets who are studying life on earth./ It is even believed that several such aircraft may have landed on earth/ and the space visitors may be living amongst us./ But there are also less fantastic explanations available./ Although some sightings of UFOs are difficult to explain, most can be explained quite easily./ In many cases the observers might have made a mistake./ They might have seen a weather balloon or an aircraft./ Or the light they saw in the sky might have been light from the ground,/ reflected on to the clouds./ However, the exact cause of many sightings still remained a mystery.

专四听写与听力理解上外12套模拟题答案6-12 Model Test 6 Authority and Creativity In many countries, authority is seldom questioned, either because it is highly respected, or because it is feared . Sometimes, too, because rank has been important in certain societies for a long time, people have been trained never to question those in authority. In other countries, including America, children are trained to question and search for answers. When a child asks a question, he will often be told to go to the library and find the answer for himself. By the time students reach the age of 14 or 15, they may be developing exciting new ideas in all fields of science and arts . To encourage such creativity, there are many national prizes offered to students every year for their scientific discoveries and artistic accomplishments. This interest in questioning and searching may be considered by some people as bad for young people's manners. This impression may be created when visitors notice young Americans asking questions and arguing with older people . 1-5 CABDB 6-10 DCBDC 11-15 DACBC 16-20 DCADC 21-25 CBDBA 26-30 CDBAC Model Test 7 Driving in the US When driving in the United States, it’s a good idea to have an internaitonal driver’s license if you don’t have a state license. Each of the 50 states has its own traffic laws. For example, in some states drivers can pump their own gas at “self-service islands”, while in others this is not allowed. Drivers are expected to know and understand the laws even if they don’t live in the state. Get information when you cross the border into a state at a tourist information center. There is a national speed limit of 55 miles per hour, or about 80 kilometers per hour. Americans usually start and stop slowly and are generally polite about letting cars enter busy streets. They usually stop for people who are walking and let them cross the street first. In many states, you may turn right after stopping at a corner, even if there a red light. 1-5 DBABB 6-10 CCBBD 11-15 CBACD 16-20 BAACD 21-25 BABBD 26-30 CDADB Model Test 8 Why Do People Smoke

2．专八考试的题型介绍 专八考试主要针对英语专业高年级阶段（即英语专业大四下期）学生的水平，不但考查学生语言基本功，还要考查学生“学习英语专业知识和相关专业知识，进一步扩大知识面，增加对文化差异的敏感性，提高综合运用英语进行交际的能力”。也就是说，不但要考查学生英语的“听、说、读、写”的基本功，还要考查学生对“英汉互译，英语国家概况，语言学，文学”等各个方面的知识。 根据2004年最新修订后的《高校英语专业八级考试大纲》，专四整个考试所需要的时间是185分钟，试卷总分100分，评分时采用记权分式，把得分折算为百分制，以60分为及格标准。考试共分听力理解、阅读理解、人文知识、改错、翻译和写作六个部分。试卷上题型、题数、计分和做题时间如下表：

英语专业四级听写50篇(完整版)
英语专业四级听写50篇 前言 听写在英语专业四级统考中占有15％的比重，是考试的重要组成部分。 说起听写，正在准备和已经参加过英语专业四级考试的同学会说： “我能明白听写的内容，可写的时候就是跟不上！”“短文大意我明白，可是有的语我不 会写。” 这只反映出了问题的两个方面。一是听写速度不够快。二是词汇量不够或词汇掌握得不够准确。这些无疑是影响听写成绩的重要因素。但是，这些不是问题的全部。在从事听写教学及听写问卷过程中，很容易发现学生失分的具体问题： （1）没听懂，没听好，听写速度跟不上，写出的内容断断续续不连贯，学生因此大量失分； （2）有的词汇没听懂，拼写不够准确，这导致听写失分； （3）时态错误导致失分； （4）单复数不准确导致失分； （5）没有注意断句或专有名词，句子开头单词或专有名词错误使用大小写导致失分； （6）没有注意原文冠词的使用，书写时漏掉冠词导 致失分； （7）没有注意单数第三人称形式导致失分； （8）没有注意单数复数名词的形式导致失分。 上述问题的产生有的是缺乏训练造成的，如书写速度跟不上。有的则是语言基础较 差造成的，如听力较差没有完全听懂或没有掌握好词汇。而单复数、大小写、冠词漏写 等则多是粗心大意造成的。 听写部分能提高吗？ 当然能！而且提高的空间很大。 笔者从事英语专业基础教学与研究，从一开始所带的教学班参加四级考试超过全国 院校平均通过率28．2个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校平均通过率12．5个百分点开始，所带的教学班在全国英语专业④级统考中通过率始终ito％，平均成绩、优秀率始终名列 前茅。最近一次所带的教学班参加四级统考，又考出了很好的成绩，通过率超过全国院 校平均水平26石个百分点，超过全国专业外语院校13．6个百分点，而且在十几个平行 班中平均成绩是最高的，优秀人数也是最多的。在四级考试中，听写一项的成绩也不例外，每次均位居第一，本项目满分15分，所带班级平均成绩能够达到14分。 是不是学生基础很好？统计表明，和平行班相比所带班级入学时并不存在什么特别 优势。 教学经验表明，听写成功的关键是训练方法和体现训练方法的训练材料。 听写训练过程中无论是老师还是学生都有必要注意以下几点： 二．扭握淤轿肘虚度大纲要求第一遍用正常速

PART Ⅱ LISTENING COMPREHENSION SECTION A CONVERSATIONS Questions 1 to 3 are based on the following conversation. M:Jill,have you registered with the next semester? W:Not yet, there's still something that I'm not sure. Do you know if Professor Smith's economics 102 is still available to all undergraduate students? M:No, I don't think so. Last semester I tried to register in that course but all the other people told me not to. W:Why not? M:They said that my lack of knowledge in higher mathematics might be an obstacle in understanding Professor Smith's theory. W:Really? M:(I ) Jack tqld me that Professor Smith usually uses lots of formulas inside class. So you'd better make sure that you are extremely familiar with these formulas if you are seriously considering taking his course. W:What a shame I (2)My friends all told me that Professor Smith has lots of original ideas and he really can stimulate students to think. But I don't think I have the mathematical skills to keep up with the others. M:lf you want to take the course so much, why don't you register in a course in higher mathematics first? W. But I'm afraid that I will miss Professor Smith's course when I finish the mathematics course. M:Hey, I heard that Professor Smith would give the same course in the semester that starts next fall. ( 3 ) Why don't you take a year's higher mathematics and register in economics 102 the next fall? W:That sounds a good idea. I. [ B] 推断题。根据 ''They said that my lack of knowledge in higher mathematics might be an obstacle in understanding Professor Smith's theory. 可知，缺少高等数学知识会阻碍理解史密斯 教授的理论，所以学习经济学需要有高等数学知识，因而[ B]项伟正确答案。 2.

Popular Pastime of the English People One of the best means of understanding the people of any nation is watching what the do with their non-working time. Most English men, women and children love growing things, especially flowers. Visitors to England in spring, summer or autumn are likely to see gardens all they way along the railway lines. There are f lowers at the airports and flowers in factory grounds, as well as in gardens along the roads. Each English town has at least one park with beautifully kept flower beds. Public buildings of every kind have brilliant window boxes and sometimes baskets of flowers are hanging on them. But what the English enjoy most is growing things themselves. If it is impossible to have a garden, then a window box or something growing in a pot will do. Looking at each other ’s gardens is a popular pastime with the English. 4. British and American Police Officers Real policemen, both in Britain and the ., hardly recognize any commonpoints between their lives and what they se on TV — if they ever get home in time. Some things are almost the same, of course, but the policemen do not think much of them much of them. The first difference is that a policeman ’s real life deals with the law. Most of what he learns is the law. He has to know actually what actions are against the law and what facts can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a lawyer, and what ’s more, he has to put it into practice on his feet, in the dark and, running down a narrow street after someone he wants to talk to. Little of his time is spent in talking with beautiful girls or in bravely facing cruel criminals. He will spend most of his working life arranging millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, ordinary people who are guilty--- or not of stupid, unimportant crimes. Useful Words and Expressions: 1. think much of 重视，尊重 2. in court 在法庭上 3. criminal 罪犯，犯罪者 4. guilty 犯罪的，有罪的 5. Living Space How much living space does a person need What happens when his space needs are not met Scientists are doing experiments on rats to try to determine the effects of overcrowded conditions on man. Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats is greatly affected by space. If rats have enough living space, they eat well, sleep well and produce their young well. But if their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior and even their health change obviously. They can not sleep and eat well, and signs of fear and worry become clear. The more crowded they are, and more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other. Thus, for rats, populations and violence are directly related. Is this a natural law for human society as well Is enough space not only satisfactory, but necessary for human survival These are interesting questions.
