When the top U.S. oil companies announced huge increases in profits this week, many consumer advocates raised companies.

The U.S. Senate Finance Committee is seeking tax return information on top U.S. oil companies from the Internal Revenue Service and some politicians are calling for a windfall profits tax.

Test 4 News Report3

Question 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.

When it comes to dieting, losin weight fast holds some appeal. Maybe that’s why U.S. News & World Report has added a Fast Weight-Loss Diet category to its annual rankings of best diet plans.And one of the diets that comes out on top is the Health Management Resources (HMR) program.

[5]HMR is a meal replacement diet that can be done on your own at home or under medical supervision. Instead of made-at-home meals, dieters can order low-calorie milk, soups, nutrition bars and multigrain cereal.

The U.S. News reviewers say [6]the plus side to the HMR diet is its quick-start option and the convenience of having meals delivered to you. The down side is “the milk lacks variety,” and it’s tough to eat out while on this diet.

[7] “A common misunderstanding is that losing weight quickly is not healthy, not sustainable, and will just lead to future weight re-gain,” wrote Carol Addy, the chief medical officer at HMR, in a release. But she says, to the contrary, “numerous studi es demonstrate that following a lifestyle change program which promotes fast initial weight loss can result in better long-term success.”

5. What is the HMR program?

A) An express company that delivers food.

B) A meal replacement diet.

C) A report on fast weight-loss diet category.

D) An annual ranking of best diet plans.

6. What is the advantage of HMR program?

A) The food is made by medical workers.

B) The food is healthier than made-at-home meal.

C) The food is delivered to dieters directly.

7. What’s the common misunderstanding about losing weight fast?

A) It is tough to achieve.

B) It may change our lifestyle.

C) It is unhealthy and unsustainable.

D) It can lead to future diseases.

Questions 5 to 7 will be based on the following news item.

英语专科广外考试口语与听力经验及建议(广州)

大家好!我是2008年11月2日参加的广外考试.介绍一点个人经验及建议给大家吧!希望对大家有帮助 先说说广外吧！我是11/1下午到广州的，但因为我有亲威在广州，所以没有住旅馆.不过据朋友说，离广外不远的地方有个叫陈田村的，那里一晚上80元.是比较便宜的.如果你到广外考试，要早点订旅馆，因为考生多，而且大多数是外地的.如果晚了，有可能订不到.关于到广外的乘车路线，在考试前你可以上6684网,上面有乘车路线，你把它打印出来.带着去广外考试.这样方便些.我今年就是这样.广外离广州火车站不远，有9站路，车费是2元（无人售票）.所以要先准备好零钱哦.广外那个站叫外语学院.下车之后要往前走约100米，不用过马路.到时你就可以看到广东外语外贸大学几个字了. 再说口语.首先你先找到相应的考试教学楼及候考室（不是试室哦）.在那里找个位置随便坐上来，与别的同学聊聊天（用英语）.让自己早一点进入状态.我今年与一男生同坐，他的发音很不准，我一点都听不懂他说什么.后来就演变成基本上是我说，他听了.大约8：15分，会有老师进来给一张签到表你签.这个时候你要注意了，看看你的名排在第几，你的上一个与下一个是谁.因为这意味着你很有可能与她（他）成为PARTNER.今年考试是按姓氏排的.而且是从Z往上排的（这是我这个试室的排序方式，有的是从A开始排）.轮到你时，老师会叫你及你的PARTNER一起到教室外面的走郎上，那里会有老师分别发一张图给你及你的PARTNER.有一个为A，有一个为B.我今年拿到的图纸是关于垃圾食品的.就是讲越来越多的学校售物机出售健康食品，远离垃圾食品.其实说实话，售物机里售的那些东西英文名我基本上看不懂，我记得有个GREEN TEA.但下面一句英文写的内容大意是讲越来越多的学校售物机出售健康食品，远离垃圾食品.其实你全部看不懂都可以,但你一定要看懂那一句关键的提示性的英文.老师让你与你的PARTNER 5分种各看各的图纸,5分种后她就会收走,然后你们就在那里等,试室里的考生出来就可以进去考试. 接下来就进入试室正式开始考试了.进去后首先要有礼貌地说声GOOD MORNING.今年我说了,但我的PARTNER没有说.考试一开始,老师问了我一个问题:WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE TRAFFIC IN GUANZHOU? 说实话,我考前没有准备过任何问题.一问起这个问题,我全部是用自己的话说的.IN MY OPINION,AT FIRST, THEN, LAST.按照这样的顺序说的.说实话,这个问题我的PARTNER比我回答地要好,因为她是广州的.第二题就是给你一段文字,让你与你的PARTNER分A,B读.我这次考试,本来老师让我读A,可能是因为我没有听到,出于礼貌,我让我的PARTNER读A,我读B.这段文字会有5-10字左右的生词.不过不要紧,你要按照发音规则把它读出来.读时发音要清晰要准确.停顿要及时.我记得我PARTNER读完第三句后,我正准备读,老师让我停了,接下来进行第三部分考试.这时老师会将你们在走朗上看过的图纸再给你们.老师先将A图纸给我,要求描述图片中所发生的事情及我的评论.因为之前有准备过5分种,所以我说得很快.接下来老师将我的图纸给我的PARTNER.只给5秒锺给她准备.因为之前她没有看过我的图片,5秒锺时间又太短,她一下子说不出来.老师问了3次,CAN YOU START?在第三次,她才开始说.才说了一句,就不知说什么了.结果老师说停.然后把B图纸给她,让她描述图片上所发和的事情及她的评论.因为准备过,她说得还不错.只不过我完全没有听懂她说什么.后来老师又把她的图片给我,5秒锺准备,让我描述.我看了一下,就开始说了,其实我当时也时也理解错了.我说石油涨价了,司机们很生气,所以在打石油站的工作人员,后来120车来了.其实应该是石油涨价了,有司机看了就吓倒了,石油站的工作人员在把他抬上120车.说完这个这之后,老师就说:THIS IS THE END OF THIS EXAM. 然后我们就离开了.离开之后,我的PARTNER跟我说,有一个打了50分.她说她看到老师们在说.我的PARTNER 认为是我打了50分,因为第二部分朗读时,老师让我读A,我偏要让她读A. 不过现在成绩出来了,我的还不错,是个良好.我也不知道她考得怎样?基于此,建议大家最后一题,不论自己是完全看明了,还是没有看明,都一定要发表意见,不要不说话,那一题可是40分呀.

大学英语听力课教案 【篇一：大学英语听力教学心得】 大学英语听力教学心得 庞静 相对于其他正规院校的本科生来说，高职生的英语基础较差，平均 水平不高。从英语听力课的教学来看，其不足主要表现为词汇量少， 语音语感较差，知识面窄，独立进行分析判断能力不足，从而反应 较慢。除此之外，高职生在英语听力学习方面的不足还表现为缺乏 良好的英语听力的自我控制能力和逻辑思维能力，缺乏良好的听力 习惯，缺乏应有的自学能力，这一切都无形中构成了高职生英语听 力学习的障碍。在我上的大学英语听力的部分系部表现的特别明显。 教材是教学的依据，教材的选用和利用对于教学来讲意义重大。虽 说我们学校的大学英语听力选用了不同的教材——外语系选用的大学英语听力；人文系选用的英语教程；音乐美术系选用的实用英语。 但由于系部不同班级的学生水平也参差不齐，所以因材施教显得尤 为重要。 外语系学生相对英语成绩相对较好，大部分学生的学习积极性都比 较高。处在这个竞争愈来愈激烈的社会中，他们强烈地感受到自身 的不足，从而有着很高的学习积极性。但同时也有相当一部分同学 由于种种原因或自卑不前，或自满松懈，或心不在焉，学习态度和 学习成绩均和前者有着很大差距，形成两极分化。外语系选用的教 材中每个单元由三部分组成：第一部分通常是语音练习，它对于纠 正学生的发音很有帮助。教师在完成这一部分的听力练习之后可以 接着让学生跟读，模仿，从单词到长句，循序渐进。同时讲解相应 的发音规则。第二部分通常是对话和短文。由于部分学生基础较差， 如果按照机械的程序从讲解词汇，介绍背景，播放录音直至完成练 习，他们会感到十分吃力。于是我一般在讲完词汇和介绍完背景之 后，先把所要播放的录音内容概述一下，当然语速要慢。这样可以 给学生留下一定的适应时间，帮助他们理解接下来的内容。第三部 分是口头练习，这一部分往往会被忽略，我认为这是十分可惜的。 不妨让学生根据所听的内容编排对话，复述大意或进行主题讨论， 将听与说结合，把听到的内容用自己的语言表达出来。语言是交流 的工具，而交流则包涵了由听到说的过程。听是说的基础，听最终 要服务于说。
