wear pants __27__ skirts, or why they may be married to only one person at a time, we are likely

to get __28__ and very uninformative answers: "Because it's right. " "Because that's the way it's done." "Because it's the __29__. " Or even "I don't know. " The reason for these and countless

other patterns of social behavior is that they are __30__ by social norms-shared rules or guidelines which prescribe the behavior that is appropriate in a given situation. Norms __31__ how people "ought" to behave under particular circumstances in a particular society. We conform(遵守) to norms so readily that we are hardly aware they __32__. In fact, we are much more likely to notice

__33__ from norms than conformity to them. You would not be surprised if a stranger tried to shake hands when you were introduced, but you might be a little __34__ if they bowed, started to stroke you, or kissed you on both __35__ Yet each of these other forms of greeting is appropriate

in other parts of the world. When we visit another society whose norms are different, we quickly become aware that things we do this way, they do that way.

本次四级短对话无论从对话内容还是从题目本身来看，整体难度相对简单，和往年该部分相

类似，话题覆盖日常生活（生活琐事、看电影、旅游等）、校园生活、商务工作（会议、求

职等）。例如，对话2、6、7均涉及商务工作话题；对话3、4、5、8均涉及日常生活话题；

对话1则为校园生活话题。主要考查事实细节和推理判断，其中，事实细节题比重相对较大，这对于广大考生来说是有利的。主要难词生词有：solar heater“太阳能热水器”，travel

收支相抵”，make reservations for“

预订，预约”，what I'm in agency“旅行社”，make ends meet“

a mood for“我想吃什么”等，理解好生难单词对整个听力内容的把握大有裨益，所以考生平

时应多积累一些词汇和常用表达。

【四级听力长对话原文1】

M: Excuse me, I need some information about some of the towns near here.

W: What would you like to know?

M: Well, first, I'd like directions to go to Norwalk. I believe there is an interesting museum there.

It isn't far, is it?

W: No, not at all. Norwalk is about eighteen miles east of here on Route 7. And you're right. It's a wonderful little museum.

M: Oh good. Now what about Amitsville? I have some friends. I'd like to visit there and I also

want to get to Newton. They are near each other, aren't they?

W: Hmm... well, they are actually in opposite directions. Amitsville is northeast. It's about thirty

five miles northeast of here.

M: Huh-uh, thirty five miles northeast. And how about Newton?

W: Well, Newton is in the other direction. It's southwest, so it isn't really very close to Amitsville

at all and it's a long drive. It's about fifty five miles southwest from here and the road is not at all straight.

M: Fifty five miles southwest! Well, maybe I won't go there this time.

W: I'd recommend visiting Westfield or Great Town. They are both very close. Westfield is just seven miles west of here and Great Town is about five miles south. They are really pretty little towns with lots of old houses and beautiful tree-lined streets.

M: I see. Seven miles west to Westfield and five miles south to Great Town. Good. Well, I think

that's all the information I need for a while. Thank you. You've been very helpful.

W: You're welcome, sir. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Q9: What does the man know about Norwalk?

Q10: What does the woman say about Amitsville and Newton?

Q11: What do we learn about Westfield and Great Town?

【答案】

9. B) It has an interesting museum.

10. A) They are in opposite directions.

11. C) They have lots of old houses.

【点评】

该对话属于比较常见“问路”话题。因此考生在考试中听到开头一两句之后可以在草稿纸上画

一个东西南北的方位箭头图，中心点是男士所在的地方。这样听到后面介绍其它景点时，可以立刻在相应方位把地名缩写和距离数字很快记下。避免听到很多不同地名和数字时候头脑

一片混乱。

三个问题都是考查事实细节。但没有考查Norwalk，Amitsville and Newton，Westfield and Great Town这几个地方的具体距离及位置，因此题目比较容易。因此该话题备考一方面有意识记

下数字和方位以防万一考查具体点，另一方面要注意理解对话的中出现的一些中心句。如

“…they are actually in opposite directions.”

【长对话2原文】

M: Err... Sandra, I've finished with Mr. Gartner now. Do you think you could pop through in bringing me up-to-date on their arrangements for the Italian trip?

W: Certainly, Mr. Wilkinson. I'll bring everything with me.

M: Right, take a seat. Now my first meeting is when?

W: Your first meeting is on Monday the 21st at 9a.m. with Dr. Gucci of Bancos en Piedra in Milan.

M: OK, so can I fly out early Monday morning?

W: Well, there is a flight to Lenarty Airport which leaves at six thirty London time and gets in at

eight thirty Italian time.

M: Yeah, but that only leaves me thirty minutes to clear customs in getting to the city center and it means I have to check in by five thirty, which means leaving home at about four fifteen.

W: I'm afraid so.

M: Hmm... not so keen on that. What's the program for the rest of that day?

W: It's quite full, I'm afraid. At eleven, you're seeing Gianni Riva at Megastar and then you'll have

a lunch engagement with Gavin from the Chamber of Commerce at one.

M: Where's that?

W: You're meeting him at his office and then he's taking you somewhere.

M: Good, that sounds fine. What about the afternoon?

W: Well, at three thirty, you're seeing our sales representative there and then you're free till evening.

M: I see. I seem to remember that I'm having a dinner with someone from Bergamo.

W: That's right. And Mr. Betty from SAP Industries at eight.

Q12: What would the man like the woman to do?

Q13: At what time is Mr. Wilkinson going to leave home for the airport?

Q14: Who is Mr. Wilkinson going to have a lunch with on Monday?

Q15: What is most probably the woman's job?

【答案】

12. B) Inform him of the arrangements for his trip in Italy.

13. D) About 4:15.

14. D) Gavin from the Chamber of Commerce.

15. C) Secretary.

【点评】

该对话属于商务场合老板与秘书间有关“日程安排”常见的对话。抓住这一主题，第一题和

第四题的答案就显而易见了。同时对于对话中何时何地与何人的相关日程要多加留意，第三

题和第四题分别考查了时间和人物的细节题。因此预测可能出现较多时间和人物的话题，注

意可以随手简单记一下。对于人名拼写不要纠结，首字母缩写自己能辨认即可。

On March 13th, while on duty Charles Mclaughlin, a very careless driver employed by the

company Lummis was involved in another accident. The accident occurred in Riverside California.

Not paying attention to his driving, Mclaughlin turned right on main street and 33rd street and hit

Volkswagen rabbit. This caused minor damage to his truck and serious damage to the car. On the

basis of the police report, the Lummis accident committee correctly determined that Mclaughlin

had been quite careless. As a result of the committee’s conclusion, the branch manager Mr. David Rossi reported that he had talked with Mclaughlin about his extremely poor driving record.

Further evidence of Mclaughlin's irresponsibility occurred on May 6th when he was returning

from his shift. That day he ran into a roll-up door at the Lummis facility in Valero, causing

significant damage to the door. Damage to the truck, however, was minor. Finally, on June 7th,

Mclaughlin once again demonstrated his carelessness by knocking down several mail boxes near

the edge of the company’s parking lot. There was damage to the mailboxes and minor damage to

the truck. Mr. David Rossi stated that he had spoken with Mclaughlin on several occasions about

his driving record. He added that he had warned Mclaughlin that three preventable accidents in

one year could lead to his discharge, as indeed it should.

23. What did the Lummis accident committee find out about the accident that occurred on March

13th?

24. What did Mclaughlin do on June 7th near the edge of the company’s parking lot?

25. What is most probably going to happen to Mclaughlin?

23. 答案：D) Mclaughlin's carelessness resulted in the collision.

24. 答案：B) He knocked down several mailboxes.

25. 答案：A) He will lose his job.

【点评】

本篇短文主要讲了Charles Mclaughlin一年之内因粗心大意所发生的三次交通事故。

第一次：时间：3月13日；经过：Mclaughlin驾驶货车在主大街第33大街向右拐弯撞上一辆小轿车。原因：Mclaughlin粗心大意；造成的后果：卡车轻微受损，小轿车严重损坏；

第二次：时间：5月6日；经过：Mclaughlin在换班的时候驾驶货车撞到一个卷帘门；原因：Mclaughlin不负责任，粗心；造成的后果：卷帘门严重损坏，卡车受损；

第三次：时间：6月7日；经过：Mclaughlin驾驶货车在公司停车场附近撞翻了几个邮筒；

原因：Mclaughlin粗心大意；造成的后果：邮筒严重受损，卡车轻微受损。

本篇文章是听力第三篇短文，难度不大。文章虽然出现了一些人名和地名，但是同学们不需要知道它们是什么意思，人名地名不会作为考察点放在题目中，同学们需要重点分辨的是这三次事故发生的时间，题目重点考察同学对短文信息细节的抓取能力。但是其中有几个短语和单词需要关注一下：pay attention to 注意；重视；run into 撞上；撞到；roll-up door 卷帘门；knock down 撞翻；parking lot 停车场；mailbox 邮箱，邮筒；preventable 可预防的；as的用法。理解了这些词的意思，对本篇听力的整体理解基本就没有什么障碍了。
