I had two months until my new job began. It was like waiting an entire summer for school to start. I spent those two months talking to figure skating coaches and judges. I read boring rule books. I drove to the rinks where the skaters trained, and made notes about our conversations. I even took a lesson, which made some of the skaters laugh.

【原文】

Laura usually leaves the offices of Quest Productions at about 5 o'clock, but last Monday she left at 5:30. She wanted to get home by 6:30 and she ran to the bus stop but she couldn't get on a bus. There were too many people and not enough buses. Laura was desperate to get home so she decided to go by tube.

In the station she went to one of the automatic ticket machines but she didn't have enough change, so she had to join the queue at the ticket window. She bought her ticket and ran to the escalator. Laura went to the platform and waited for the tube. It arrived and

the crowd moved forward.

Laura was pushed into the train. It was almost full but she was given a seat by a man with a moustache. Laura thanked him and sat down. She started to read her newspaper. In the tunnel the train stopped suddenly and Laura was thrown to the floor together with the man with the moustache. Somebody screamed. The lights went out. It was quarter past 6 on a cold, wet December evening.

wondered; television plays; exciting; every cigarette lighter; tape recorder; held in a certain way; the touch of a gold ring against the hand of; reveal; How wrong they were

【原文】

X was a secret agent. He had rented a furnished room in a provincial town not far from the public park and had been there two weeks. He was standing at the window looking out at the dull beds of geraniums, the park gates and the cold, uninviting statue of Queen

Victoria that stood across the street from him, It was raining hard and the few people who passed by looked wet and miserable. X was miserable, too. How, he wondered, could anybody think there was anything interesting about the life of a secret agent He knew it was because people had seen so many television plays about glamorous spies that they thought the life of a secret agent was exciting. They were convinced that every cigarette lighter concealed a secret tape recorder; that a fountain pen held in a certain way would open a locked door, that the touch of a gold ring against the hand of an enemy would make him reveal all his secrets. How wrong they were! He looked round his room. The wallpaper was in the worst possible taste, the pictures horrible, the carpet worn, dirty and faded; and he was cold. This was the third Monday he had come to the window to look out. He prayed it would be the last.

As if in answer to his prayer, a certain meeting he had been sent to investigate was about to take place. He took out his camera. Just beneath the statue two women had stopped to speak. He knew one of them, and it was she who pointed in his direction. The other woman looked up towards him and in that brief moment he photographed her.

【原文】

Harry: Well, Robert, have you made up your mind yet what you want to do when you leave college

Nora: Oh Harry. Surely he's a bit young to decide on his career. He hasn't even got to college yet.

Harry: Not at all, Nora. It's wisest to decide in good time. Look at me, for example. I really wanted to be a sailor, but now

I spend my days sitting at a desk in an office. Yes, it's silly

to train for the wrong job. And after all, Robert will be going to college soon.

Nora: Now if I were a man I'd be a farmer. To see the crops growing--that's my idea of a good life.

Harry: Yes, and to see the money rolling in is more important still. Robert: Well, that's not the way I look at it, Dad. It's the job I care about, not the money.

Harry: Maybe not; but you'll learn to care about the money too, when you've got a family to keep.

Nora: And of course Peter —well, he's keen to be a racing driver, or else an explorer.

Robert: Oh, Peter's not old enough to make up his mind about such things.

Harry: You haven't answered my question yet, Robert. What would you like to do

Nora: Are you sure you don't want to be a farmer, Robert Or a market gardener

Robert: No, I'm sorry Mum, but I don't want to at all. I'd rather be a civil engineer. I want to build roads and bridges.

Harry: Not ships Isn't it better to be a shipbuilding engineer Robert: Look here, is it my career we're planning, or yours

Harry: All fight, all right, there's no need to lose your temper.

But you'd better win that scholarship first.

Task 4

【答案】

I. correspondents; columnist

A. may not need either

B. to go to places where events take place and write stories about

them

II. first; bigger; better; who will soon leave to work for other people

III. working hours; free time; work long hours to begin with

【原文】

Here are some of the things a young man or woman should not do when he first asks an editor for a job:

He should not tell the editor that he wants to be a foreign correspondent or a columnist. Very probably the editor does not need either. He wants a reporter who will go to such places as government offices and police stations and write a true story of what is happening there. Being a foreign correspondent or a columnist will come later.

A young person should not tell tile editor that newspaper work is only the first step on the way to bigger and better jobs, such as those in government. The editor must take a lot of time and trouble teaching someone to be a good newspaperman or woman. He does not like the idea of teaching people who are soon going to leave him to work for someone else.

A young journalist should accept the working hours and free time the editor gives him. As a new journalist, it is very probable that he will work longer hours than others and work on weekends.

The editor did the same when he was a young newspaperman with no experience. He expects a journalist to understand how things are on a newspaper.

SYLVIA: We've got a new manager in our department.

LARRY: Oh You hoped to get that job, didn't you?

SYLVIA: Yes, I did.

LARRY: I'm sorry. That's too bad. Who is it Who got the job, I mean?

SYLVIA: Someone called Drexler. Carl Drexler. He's been with the company only two years. I've been here longer. And I know more about the job, too!

LARRY: Hmm. Why do you think they gave it to him and not to you?

SYLVIA: Because I'm the wrong sex, of course !

LARRY: You mean you didn't get the job because you're a woman?

SYLVIA: Yes, that was probably it! It isn't fair.

LARRY: What sort of clothes does he wear?

SYLVTA: A dark suit. White shirt. A tie. Why?

LARRY: Perhaps that had something to do with it.

SYLVIA: You mean you think I didn't get the job because I come to work in jeans and a sweater?

LARRY: It's possible, isn't it?

SYLVIA: Do you really think I should wear different clothes?

LARRY: Well. . . perhaps you should think about it.

SYLVTA: Why should I wear a skirt Or a dress?

LARRY: I'm not saying you should. I'm saying you should think about it. That's all!

SYLVIA: Why should I do that I'm good at my job! That's the only important thing!

LARRY: Hmm. Perhaps it should be the only important thing. But it isn't. Not inthis company.

Al: Is this the right line to file a claim

Bob: Yeah. It's the same line for everything. You just stand here and wait.

Al: Oh. Is there always such a long line

Bob: Every week. Sometimes longer. Is this your first time here Al: Yes.

Bob: What happened Your plant closed down

Al: No. I'm a car salesman, or, I was a car salesman. But we just aren't selling cars. It's the interest rates. Two years ago,

I averaged ten new cars a month. Do you know how many cars I

sold last month One. One car to a lady who had the cash. But the interest rates are up again. The boss let three of us go.

How about you

Bob: I worked at a vacuum cleaner plant with about fifty workers.

We put in a good day's work. But the machinery was getting old.

As a matter of fact, the whole plant was old. So the management decided to build a new plant. You know where In Singapore. The workers here made about seven dollars an hour, a couple of people made eight or nine an hour. You know how much they're paying the workers in Singapore $ an hour! Anyway, all fifty of us got laid off.

Al: How long ago was that

Bob: They closed down ten months ago.

Al: Any luck finding another job

Bob: Nothing. I have one, sometimes two, interviews a week. Last week I thought I had something. They liked my experience with machines. But I never heard from them again.

Al: At least you know something about machines. All I can do is talk.

Bob: Maybe you'll talk yourself into another job. Good luck. I'll see you here next week.

Al: I hope not. I hope I'll have something by then.

B.

1) According to the first speaker, it is frustrating because the teacher cannot see clearly the results of his efforts.

2) According to the second speaker, English language teaching is

a good job, because it guarantees a stable income and regular working hours and means less pressure. He also likes the way elderly teacher are.

【原文】

Interviewer: Do you prefer what you're doing to teaching?

John Smith: Yes, one of the things I found a bit frustrating about teaching was that it was rather,

very intangible than um, especially if you're teaching in England and most of the students know quite a lot of English before they arrive. They learn a lot of English outside the classroom, in pubs or coffee shops or other places, with the families they're living with. It's very difficult to pin down how much they learn from your actual lesson, whereas in marketing um, again there are lots of areas that are gray rather than black or white, but there are quite a few other areas where one can see quite clearly the results of one's efforts.

Interviewer: What did you do after you quit your job in advertising Second Man: In fact, I became a journalist and I worked as a freelance.

I didn't have a full-time job with any newspaper. I just

had to contribute things as they came along and 1 wrote

for magazines, and I did quite a lot of broadcasting for

the VOA. Well, this was in a way the opposite of

advertising because I enjoyed it a lot but I found it

very hard to earn enough money to live on.

Interviewer: And then you decided to be a teacher

Second Man: Well, and so I thought. Well, I must do something which produces an income that I can be sure of. While I was

working as a journalist I had done an article for a

magazine about the English language teaching world and

m fact I had come to the school where I now teach as a

journalist and interviewed a lot of the people. And I

thought it seemed a very nice place and I thought that

the classes I visited had a very, very nice feeling about

them, and so I thought, well, I'll see if they'll have

me.

Interviewer: Why do you prefer teaching to advertising

Second Man: Well, partly because in teaching you work regular hours.

It I advertising you just had to stay at the office until

the work was finished [I see.] and it could be three

o'clock in the morning. [Oh, dean] Also you were very

often made to work at weekends. Often some job would come

up that was very important and they said it had to be

finished — it had to go into the newspapers next week. Interviewer: So there was a lot mom pressure.

Second Man: There was a lot more pressure in advertising. Also, the people I worked with when I was first in advertising were

young hopeful people like myself. By the end I was

working with a lot of old people who quite honestly were

awful. And I kept looking at them and saying, "Am I going

to be like that" And I thought if I am I'd better get

out, whereas the English language teachers I saw, who

were older people I thought, well, they seemed quite nice.

And I wouldn't mind being like that myself.

Task 8

【答案】

The interview with Michale:

The interview with Chris:

【原文】

Matthew:?? Michael, do you go out to work

Michael:?? Not regularly, no. I... I used to; I used to have a job in a publishing company, but I

decided it wasn't really what I wanted to do and that what I wanted to do wouldn't earn me much money, so I gave up working and luckily I had a private income from my family to support me and now I do the things I want to do. Some of them get paid like lecturing and teaching, and others don't.

Matthew: What are the advantages of not having to go to work from nine till five

Michael: Ah... there' re two advantages really. One is that if you feel tired you don't have to get up, and the other is that you can spend your time doing things you want to do rather than being forced to do the same thing all the time.

Matthew: But surely that's in a sense very self-indulgent and very

lucky because most of us have to go out and earn our livings.

Do you feel justified in having this privileged position Michael: Yes, because I think I use it well. I do things which I think are useful to people and the community and which I enjoy doing.

Matthew: Chris, what do you think the value of work is

Chris: Well, I think in our present-day society, for most people, work has very little value at all. Most of us go out to work for about eight to nine hours of our working day. We do things which are either totally futile and totally useless or have very little justification whatsoever, and for most of us the only reason for working is that we need to keep ourselves alive, to pay for somewhere to live, to pay to feed our children. Matthew: But surely people wouldn't know what to do if they didn't have to go to work

Chris: Well, again this raises the sort of two main aspects of work.

Should we think of 'work only as a sort of bread-winning process, and this is very much the role it has in current society, or should we take a much wider perspective on work and think of all the possible sort of activities that human beings could be doing during the day I think the sort of distinction currently is between say, someone who works in a

car factory and who produces cars which are just adding to pollution, to over-consumption of vital resources, who is doing something which is very harmful, both to our environment and to, probably society, to contrast his work with someone perhaps like a doctor, who I think in any society could be justified as doing a very valuable job and one which incidentally is satisfying to the person who is doing it. Matthew: What do you do Is your job just a breadwinning process or do you get some satisfaction out of doing it

Chris: Well, in the job I do find that most of the satisfaction is a mental one; it's coming to grips with the problems of my subject and with the problems of teaching in the University.

Clearly this is the type of satisfaction that most people doing what we call in England "white-collar" jobs. This is quite different from the sort of craftsman, who is either working that his hands or with his skills on a machine, or from people perhaps who are using artistic skills, which are of a quite different character. Certainly it's becoming a phenomena that people who do "white-collar jobs during the day, who work with their minds to some extent, people who work on computers, people who are office clerks, bank employees, these people have fairly soul-destroying jobs which nevertheless don't

involve much physical effort, that they tend to come home and do "do-it-yourself" activities at home. They make cupboard, paint their houses, repair their cars, which somehow provide the sort of physical job satisfaction that they're denied in their working day.

Task 9

【答案】

A.

B.

1) No major change. For some→“less paperwork”

Some:→less working hours

Others:→earn more money.

2) Most adults→would go on working.

Esp. young adults (18 to 24)→9 out of 10 would go on working

【原文】

Are most workers today feeling bored and dissatisfied with their jobs It is often claimed that they are. Yet a study conducted by Parade magazine more than 20 years ago showed that people at that time felt the opposite.

Parade asked questions of a representative sampling of adult Americans from coast to coast. The sampling included different sexes, age groups, and occupations.

The interviewees were asked to make a choice from one of the following three to describe their feelings towards their work.

A. Like their jobs.

B. Dislike their jobs.

C. Like their jobs in part,

Results showed that 91 percent of the male interviewees and 84 percent of the females chose A, while only 5 percent men and 12 percent women interviewed chose B. The rest said that they liked their jobs in part and they comprised a very tow percentage.

In all the three age groups — from 18 to 24, from 25 to 29 and 30 to 39 — those who liked their

jobs made up the majority. 70 percent, 88 percent and 92 percent respectively choose A. Those choosing B accounted for 20 percent, 9 percent and 8 percent of different age groups. And the rest, 6 percent, 3 percent and 0 percent respectively claimed that they only liked their jobs in part.

The difference in responses among people with different occupations is small. Among the white-collar employees, those choosing A, B and C are 87 percent, 8 percent and 4 percent of the total. And for the blue-collar employees, 91 percent, 5 percent and 3 percent choose A, B and C respectively.

It is interesting to note that there are few differences in attitude between men and women, professionals and factory workers. In each group, the largest number reported that they liked their jobs.

Next, Parade asked, "If there were one thing you could change about your job, what would it be" It was expected that many would wish to make their jobs less boring, but very few gave this reply. No major changes were reported. Some wished for "less paperwork"; many would shorten their working hours, but others would like more hours in order to earn more money. No serious complaints were made.

Unit 7 Task 1 【答案】 A. 1) In a mental asylum. 2) He was a member of a committee which went there to show concern for the pertinents there. 3) They were cants behaving like humans. 4) He was injured in a bus accident and became mentally ill. 5) He spent the rest of his life in comfort. B. painter, birds, animals, cats, wide, published, encouragement, A year or two, The Illustrated London News, cats' Christmas party, a hundred and fifty, world famous 【原文】 Dan Rider, a bookseller who loved good causes, was a member of a committee that visited mental asylums. On one visit he noticed a patient, a quiet little man, drawing cats. Rider looked at the drawings and gasped. "Good lord, man," he exclaimed. "You draw like Louis Wain!" "I am Louis Wain," said the artist. Most people today have never heard of Louis Wain. But, when Rider found him in 1925, he was a household name. "He made the cat his own. He invented a cat style, a cat society, a whole cat world," said H. G. Wells in a broadcast appeal a month or two later. "British cats that do not look and live like Louis Wain cats are ashamed of themselves." Before Louis Wain began drawing them, cats were kept strictly in the kitchen if they were kept at all. They were useful for catching mice and perhaps for keeping the maidservant company. Anyone else who felt affection for cats usually kept quiet about it. If a man admitted that he liked cats, he would be laughed at. The dog was the only domestic animal that could be called a friend. Louis Wain studied art as a youth and became quite a successful newspaper and magazine artist. He specialized in birds and animals, including dogs, but never drew a cat till his wife was dying. They had not been married long, and during her illness a black-and-white cat called Peter used to sit on her bed. To amuse his wife, Louis Wain used to sketch and caricature the cat while he sat by her bedside. She urged him to show these-drawings to editors, fie was unconvinced, but wanted to humour her. The first editor he approached shared his lack of enthusiasm. "Whoever would want to see a picture of a cat?" he asked, and Louis Wain put the drawings away. A year or two later he showed them to the editor of The Illustrated London News, who suggested a picture of a cats' Christmas party across two full pages. Using his old sketches of Peter, Louis Wain produced a picture containing about a hundred and fifty cats, each one different from the rest. It took him a few days to draw, and it made him world famous. For the next twenty-eight years he drew nothing but cats. He filled his house with them, and sketched them in all their moods. There was nothing subtle about his work. Its humour simply lay in showing cats performing human activities; they followed every new fashion from sea bathing to motoring. He was recognized, somewhat flatteringly, as the leading authority on the feline species. He became President of the National Cat Club and was eagerly sought after as a judge at cat shows. Louis Wain's career ended abruptly in 1914, when he was seriously injured in a

2016年6月大学英语四级考试真题(第3套)参考答案 Part I Writing Dear Jack, I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for the assistance you provided to me. You are the kindest teacher that I have ever met. If it had not been for your help and encouragement, I am afraid that I would not have made remarkable progress in English throughout the school year. There is no denying the fact that my success in entering college is attributed in great part to your guidance and encouragement. It was you who motivated me to study hard and brought home to me the importance of mastering English to my future achievement. Moreover, not only did you help me find out a feasible way to improve my English, but you also made plans and set goals to achieve my full potential in learning English. Again, many thanks for all the things you have done for me. May everything go well with you. Sincerely yours, Part IV Translation Wuzhen is an ancient water town in Zhejiang Province, located on the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. This is a charming place, with many ancient bridges, Chinese hotels and restaurants. Over the past 1,000 years, the water system and life styles in Wuzhen have not undergone many changes, thus making it a museum showing the ancient civilization.

《现代大学英语听力2》听力原文及答案U n i t1U n i t1 Task 1 【答案】 A. 1) She wanted to see St. Paul’s Cathedral. 2) She was so surprised because she saw so many Englishmen who looked alike. 3) They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats, carrying umbrellas and newspapers. 4) Because she had often read about them and seen photographs of them, who all looked as if they were wearing a uniform. 5) No, he didn’t. 6) He used the English saying “It takes all kinds to make a world”to prove his opinion. B. If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea it would be! And if all the trees were one tree, what a great tree it would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash there would be!

Yesterday morning Gretel went to the City of London. She wanted to see St. Paul's Cathedral. She was surprised to see so many Englishmen who looked alike. They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats. They were all carrying umbrellas and newspapers. When she returned home she asked Mr clark about these strange creatures. "They must be typical English gentlemen," she said." I have often read about them and seen photographs of them. They all look as if they are wearing a uniform. Does the typical English gentleman still exist?" Mr. Clark laughed. "I've never thought about it," he answered." It's true that many of the men who work in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I suppose they are typical Englishmen. But look at this." Mr. Clark picked up a magazine and pointed at a photo of a young man. "He's just as typical, perhaps. It seems as if there is no such thing as a 'typical' Englishman. Do you know the English saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world'? That's true of all countries-including England." “Oh, just like the poem ‘If All the Seas Were One Sea’,”Gretel began to hum happily. If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea that would be! If all the trees were one tree, what a great tree that would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, w hat a great splash that would be!” Task 2
