2017年英语专业四级听力 演讲Online Education在线教育Good morning, everybody.大家早上好。In today's lecture, we will talk about online education.今天的讲座,我们要谈一谈在线教育。You know, in some parts of the world, it is not that easy for people to receive education.大家都知道,在有些地方,受教育仍然不是件容易的事。And even in the United States where education is available, it might not be within reach.即使在美国这样的教育大国,受教育可能也有困难。Thus,online courses provided by those world-famous universities can bring the best quality education to as many people as we could around the world, and for free.因此,世界知名大学提供的在线课程可以为世界上许许多多的人带来优质教育,而且是免费的。First,let's talk a little bit about some of the components that go into online education.首先,我们谈一下在线教育的几个特点。The first component is that when you move away from the constraints of a physical classroom and design content for an online format, you can breakaway from, for example, the one-hour lecture format.第一个特点就是在线教育打破了实体课堂的限制。设计在线课程内容的时候,教师可以抛开很多限制,比如一小时的课程时长。You can break up the material, for example, into short, modular units of 8 to 12 minutes, and each of the short units introduces a coherent concept.举个例子,你可以将授课材料分成8到12分钟的小单元,每个单元介绍一个完整的概念。Students can deal with this material in different ways, depending on their backgrounds, theirs kills or their interests.学生可以根据自身背景、技能和兴趣,以不同的方式学习材料。So,for example, some students might benefit from a little bit of preparatory material that other students might already have.比如,有些学生可能会从准备材料中学到东西,而这些材料其他同学早就有了。Other students might be interested in a particular topic that they want to pursue individually.其他同学可能会对他们自己喜欢探究的具体话题感兴趣。So this format allows students to break away from the one-size-fits-all model of education, and allows students to follow a much more personalized curriculum.所以,这种形式将学生从“一刀切”式的教育中解放出来,学生们得以学习个性化的课程。Second and perhaps one of the biggest components of our online education is that when we need to have students who practice with the material in order to really understand it.第二个,也是在线教育最大的一个特点,就是我们需要让学生有材料练习,这样才能确保他们真正理解了所学内容。There's been a range of studies that demonstrate the importance of this.许多研究显示了这一点的重要性。A study in Science last year, for example, demonstrates that even simpleretrieval practice, where students are just supposed to repeat what they've already learned, gives considerably improved results on various achievement tests.比如,去年《科学》杂志的一项研究显示,就连只要求学生复述所学内容的简单检索训练都提高了许多成绩测验中学生的成绩。So,we need to build in much more meaningful practice questions.所以,我们需要编制更有意义的练习题目。Now,fortunately, technology has helped us to provide the students with feedback on those questions.幸运的是,现在技术进步了,我们可以就问题向学生反馈。We can now grade a range of interesting types of homework online.现在还可以给许多有趣的在线家庭作业打分。The third component is what is called collaborative learning.第三点是合作学习。Students could collaborate in different online courses in a variety of ways.学生可以以各种方式在不同的在线课程中合作。First of all, there was a question and answer forum, where students could pose questions, and other students could answer those questions.首先,在线课程会有一个问答论坛,学生可以在论坛上提问题,其他学生回答。And what is really amazing is that, because there were so many students, it means that even if a student posed a question at 3 o'clock in the morning, somewhere around the world there would be somebody who was awake and working on the same problem.最奇妙的是,因为学生很多,即使有人凌晨三点提出问题,世界上另一个角落也会有还没睡的学生,一起解决这个问题。And so, in many of the online courses, the median response time for a question on the question and answer forum was 22 minutes.因此,许多在线课程中,问答论坛上问题的响应时间多数在22分钟。So in a word, if we wanted to offer top quality education to everyone around the world for free, what would that affect us?总而言之,如果为全人类免费提供高质量教育,将有哪些影响?Three things.我认为有以下三点。First,it would establish education as a fundamental human right, where anyone around the world with the ability and the motivation could get the skills they need.首先,在线教育将教育作为基本人权,全世界能够而且想要学技能的人都能学到所需技能。Second,it would enable lifelong learning.第二,在线教育使得终身学习成为可能。It's a shame that for so many of us, learning stops when we finish high school or when we finish college.我们当中很多人高中毕业或者大学毕业之后就不再学习了,真是令人汗颜。By making this amazing content available, we would be able to learn something new every time we wanted, whether it's just to expand our minds or it's to change our lives.有了在线教育这个奇妙的东西,我们想学新东西就可以学到,可以开阔视野,也可以改变人生。And finally, this would make a wave of innovation possible, because amazing talent can be found everywhere.最后,在线教育也鼓励了新一轮创新浪潮,因为杰出人才将随处可见。To sum up today, we have talked about some features of online education and it's benefits.今天的演讲,我们主要讨论了在线教育的许多特点和好处。We are sure that online education will have a promising future.在线教育一定前途光明。In the next lecture, we're going to learn how online education has changed people around the world.下次讲座我们会讲到在线教育是如何改变世人生活的。

2016年英语专业四级听力 对话2CONVERSATION TWO对话2Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.请根据对话2回答第6题到第10题。It says a growing number of students are making a major hole from the minute they enter the real world because they are already, some of them, more than 100, 000 dollars in debt. With us now is Mark Spencer, he is the senior financial analyst for SBC Bank. Welcome to you.据说越来越多的学生一进入社会就开始还债了,因为有些学生早就欠下了十几万美元。今天我们请到了SBC银行的高级金融分析师,马克·斯宾塞。欢迎你。Thank you. Nice to be with you.谢谢,很高兴来到这里。Now I guess there are two kinds of debts: good debt and bad debt. Where does this go?债务分两种:良性债务和不良债务。学生债务属于哪一种?Well,student loan debt is traditionally considered good debt, but the problem for many students and their families is that the cost of colleges has been going up at 6 to 8% a year, far faster than the income, far faster than the standard of living. That means debt's taking on a bigger and bigger role in financing education.嗯,学生债务一般属于良性债务。不过,让许多学生及其家庭发愁的是,大学学费每年上涨6%到8%,远远超过收入增长速度和生活水平提高的速度。这意味着借贷在提供教育费用中发挥着越来越重要的作用。How much debt is too much debt for, for one student?那么对于一个学生来说,过多的债务具体是多少?Well,one guideline is that you look at the first year's salary in your field after graduation, and use that as a barometer, but even then...嗯,有这样一个方法,统计一下一个行业里应届生的工资,用它作参照,不过即使.……Is that right?这个方法有效吗?Well,you are talking big payments even in that instance, for example, 30, 000 dollars worth of debt. If you are gonna repay that over 10 years, you are talking more than 300 dollars a month, in payments every month for 10 years.这种情况下涉及的都是大笔债务的偿还,比如,3万美元的债务。如果你要在十年内还完,每个月就要还300多美元,每个月都还,一共还10年。But there're surely more than one way to get a loan for college. There are government programs. There are so many kinds of grants.但是获得大学费用贷款肯定还有其他方法。比如政府项目。还有很多种补助金。What's,what's the best advice for people who are looking for these loans to try to keep themselves from going under.那么对于那些正在为这些贷款奔走的人,如何防止自己生活负担过重,有什么建议吗?I understand that loans are just one way of college finance Take advantage of the other opportunities. Things like a college savings plan, let, let you save on a tax advantage basis. So you can put money away in these accounts and withdraw tax-free to pay for that education..我认为这些贷款只是支付大学费用的一种方式。建议利用好其他机会。比如加入学费储蓄计划,还可以获得有利税率。你可以把钱存在这些账户里,取出的时候就不用交税,直接拿去交学费。So it's important to start early and that really reduces that reliance on debt later.所以早做准备很重要,这样后来可以少借贷。Another thing, leave no stone unturned, looking at grants, scholarships, even on-campus jobs. I mean every dollar you get that way is seen as another dollar you don't have to borrow later.还有,不要怕麻烦,积极搜集补助金,奖学金或者校内兼职的信息。这样你得到一美元,就少借一美元。The kinds of jobs that so many students, the fresh off students, like to go into,er, charity stuff, volunteer work.很多学生,尤其是刚毕业的学生,喜欢去做慈善团体或者志愿活动的工作。This debt is eliminating a lot of that, isn't it?现在由于债务,去做这些工作的毕业生少了很多,对吧?I think that's the social cost. Really, I mean, you know, when you consider that,you know, people may pass up a rewarding career in charitable work, or non-profit organization because they have to get a higher salary someplace else to pay off that debt.我认为这是社会应该负担的成本。真的,我是说,你想想,很多人会错过慈善工作或者非盈利组织中的非常有意义的工作,只是因为他们要选择其他单位的高工资的工作来还债。Yeah,that's for sure. Mark Spencer, senior financial analyst from SBC Bank. Mark,good you could be here.对,那是自然。马克·斯宾塞,SOC银行的高级金融分析师。马克,感谢您来到我们这个节目。Thank you.谢谢。Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.请根据对话2回答第6题到第10题。Question 6. What is the interview mainly about?第6题这个访谈节目的主要内容是什么?Question 7. How does the cost of college education change every year?第7题 大学教育费用每年的变化是什么?Question 8. What is used to measure student loan debt as a guideline?第8题 可用作参考衡量学生债务的是什么?Question 9. What is the advantage of joining a college savings plan?第9题 加入学费储蓄计划有什么好处?Question 10. What is the possible social cost of a college loan?第10题大学贷款可能会带来什么样的社会成本?

2016年英语专业四级听力 演讲What Is Grit?什么是决心?Good afternoon, everyone.大家下午好。Today, I would like to talk about my research project concerning the key to success.今天我想谈一谈我的研究项目,主题是成功的关键。I would like to start my topic with my own story.首先,我想讲讲我自己的故事。When I was 27 years old, I left for a demanding job:27岁的时候,我去做了一份非常有挑战性的工作:teaching seventh graders math in the New York City public schools.去纽约的公立学校教七年级数学。And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests.像其他老师一样,我设计了课堂测验和考试,I gave out homework assignments.也会布置家庭作业,When the work came back, I calculated grades.作业交上来,我也会给出分数。What struck me was that IQ was not the only difference between my best and my worst students.我吃惊地发现,智商并不是好学生和差学生的唯一区别。Some of my strongest performers did not have super IQ scores.有些表现很好的学生智商并没有高出常人。Some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well.有些非常聪明的孩子表现不是特别好。Then I felt very interested in knowing the reason,因此我非常想弄明白,why the students' math performance is not that closely related to their lQ scores.为什么学生在数学上的变现并没有跟智商值密切相关呢?I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of challenging settings,我开始研究在各种极具挑战性的情境下,儿童和成年人的表现。and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why?在研究中,我会提出这样的问题:这里谁是成功的人?为什么?My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy.我和我的实验团队去了西点军校。We tried to predict which students would stay in military training and which would drop out.我们预测了哪些学生会完成军训,哪些会掉队。We went to the National Spelling Contest,我们去了全国拼字比赛,and tried to predict which children would advance furthest in competition.预测哪些孩子会最终夺冠。We worked with private companies, asking, which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs?我们到过一些企业,问他们哪些销售人员会被留任,And who's going to earn the most money?谁赚的最多。We went to many places, and finally one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success.我们去了很多地方,最后发现一个能预测成功的重要特点。And it wasn't social intelligence.不是社会智能。It wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't IQ.不是姣好的长相,不是健康的身体,也不是智商。It was grit.是决心。What is grit?决心是什么?Well,grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals.嗯,决心是为达成长期目标而努力的热情与恒心。Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not justfor the month,决心是不放弃对未来的憧憬,日复一日,不是一周,不是一个月,but for years, and working really hard to make future a reality.而是年年如此,踏实努力把对未来的憧憬变成现实。Grit is living your life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.决心是把生活过成马拉松,而不是短跑。A few years ago, I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools.几年前,我开始在芝加哥的公立学校研究决心。I asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires,我做了关于决心的调查问卷调查了几干名高三学生,and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate.又等了一年多看看谁会毕业。It turned out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate,最后发现,比较有决心的孩子们毕业的可能性更大,even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure,即使比对我能测定的各种特点,things like family income, test scores and so on.如家庭收入,考试成绩等,也是如此。To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know,最让我吃惊的是,我们对决心知之甚少,how little science knows, about building it.科学也对如何增强信心记载甚少。Everyday, parents and teachers ask me,父母们和老师们每天都会问我,"How do I build grit in kids? "怎样让孩子们更有决心呢?How do I keep them motivated for the long run? "我怎么做才能让他们保持长久的动力呢?”Our data shows very clearly that there are many talented individuals,我们的数据清楚地显示,有许多有天赋的人,who simply do not follow through on their commitment.根本没办法坚持做好该做的事。In fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated to measures of talent.数据还显示,决心通常和天赋的程度没什么关系。So far, the best idea I've heard about building grit in kids is something called"growth mindset."迄今为止,我所听过的增强孩子们决心的最佳方法叫作“成长心态”。Growth mindset is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort.成长心态认为,学习能力并不固定,通过努力可以改变。Kids with grit are much more likely to persevere when they fail,有决心的孩子遇到失败却要坚持下去的可能性更大,because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition.因为他们不相信自己会永远失败。So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit.所以成长心态是增强决心的好办法。But we need more.不过这还不够。And that's where I'm going to end my talk, because that's where we are.讲完这一点我的讲话就要结束了,因为我们正面对的就是这件事。That's the work that stands before us.那就是在我们面前的工作。We have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned.我们必须愿意失败,愿意犯错,愿意得到失败的教训后再重新开始。As a conclusion, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier.最后,我们也要坚定决心,一定会把孩子们培养得更有决心的。Next time, I would like to share with you my experience in building up students'grit.下次我想跟大家分享我增强学生决心的经历。

I buy things like CDs,electrical goods and food online.是的,商业街正在跟互联网竞争。比如唱片,电子产品和食物之类的东西,我会选择在网上购买。Ah,but have you ever 'showroomed' before, Rob?啊,你尝试过“实体店看货、网上购买”这种购物方式吗?Yes,I show roomed and then bought a camera at a knock-down price online. I know I'm not alone in doing this though.Research found 24% of people showroomed while Christmas shopping last year.是的,我在实体店看好一款相机,然后低价从网上购买的。这样做的人肯定不止我一个。研究发现,去年圣诞节购物时,24%的人选择这种购物方式。And a market research company also found one third of consumers around the world said they used this type of shopping.市场调研公司还发现全球三分之一的消费者都会选择这种方式购物。Now,although people do it to try and save money, there are other reasons for this,too.人们之所以会选择这样的购物方式,除省钱外,还有其他的理由。What are they?什么理由?Three reasons for people to showroom: They are short on time, short on money, and they want reassurance.理由有三个:没有充裕的时间,没有足够的资金,还有就是想要寻求安慰。Yes,reassurance — so they want to know what the product really looks like and they want to be confident they are buying the right thing.是的,安慰——其实他们就是想看看真正的实物如何,然后从买到的“物超所值”的商品中提升自信。I think that's true, I like to inspect what I am buying.If you go to a shop and look at the real thing, you get a much better idea of what it's like - but I also want a bargain.去实体商店的话,你对商品的了解会更加全面——但我还是想跟商家讨价还价。说的没错,我就是喜欢检查下自己买的东西。We could say we use the internet to shop around.互联网购物可以让我们逐店选购,货比三家。That's a good phrase, meaning to look around for the best deal.

It could try to compete on price more or offer more incentives when you are in the shop.我觉得实体店的商家应该适应市场变化或者寻求一些改变。可以在价格上再优惠一些或者搞一些活动刺激店里的顾客的购买欲。Incentives—these are things to encourage you to buy the product there and then.

I want the big reward," says Sergeant Gonzales."No,no! Don't talk about fighting. I hate fighting and I hate violence. I think Zorro is sincere. He punishes only bad people. He protects the poor, the natives and the friars. Let Zorro do his work," says Don Diego."You are a kind man. You like music and poetry. You don't understand, my friend.You are rich and noble," says the Sergeant.Don Diego smiles and says, "It's 6 p.m. I must return to my hacienda. Goodnight everyone."He opens the tavern door and goes out into the rain.翻译第一章:暴风雨之夜雷纳洛杉矶是加利福尼亚南部的一个西班牙村庄。村子里有一个军事要塞,里面有西班牙士兵和他们的马匹。这里还有一座西班牙教堂,叫做传教会。西班牙修士住在这里。村子周围都是带露台的大房子。今晚,有一场可怕的暴风雨,正在下雨。在村里的酒馆里,有士兵和其他男人。他们又吃又喝。佩德罗·冈萨雷斯中士在酒馆。他是一个高大强壮的人。“多么可怕的夜晚!二月总是下雨。在这个暴风雨的夜晚佐罗在哪里?”一个士兵问道。“佐罗!不要说那个名字!他是一个强盗和罪犯,”冈萨雷斯警官说。“他是南加州的恐怖分子,”另一名士兵说。“人们说他拿富人的钱给穷人。他是当地人和修士的朋友。他惩罚不诚实的人,”一位老人说。“哈!佐罗是一个很大的谜团。他是谁?他是哪里人?他戴着一个黑色的面具,没有人能看到他的脸。他骑着快马在埃尔卡米诺公路上旅行。他的剑术很好,”警官说。“是的,他的记号——Z——到处都是,”老人说。“没人能阻止他。加州州长悬赏捉拿佐罗,”一名士兵说。就在这时,一个男人走进酒馆。他年轻英俊。他有黑头发和黑眼睛。他有漂亮的衣服。“唐·迭戈·维加,我的朋友!”冈萨雷斯警官说。“你的衣服湿了。你为什么在这个雨夜出来?”唐·迭戈笑着说:“我要回家了,但是我又冷又湿。我想喝点什么。”“过来站在火旁边,”警官说。“这是一杯酒。”“谢谢你,我的朋友,”唐·迭戈说。“我们在谈论佐罗。每个人都怕他,但我不怕!我已经准备好和佐罗战斗并取得胜利!我是拿剑的冠军。你觉得呢,唐·迭戈?”警官问。“每个人都在谈论这个戴着面具的神秘人。很多人都说他的好话,”唐·迭戈说。“我要和他战斗,抓住他!”我想要大赏金,”冈萨雷斯警官说。“不,不!不要谈论打架。我讨厌打架,讨厌暴力。我认为佐罗是真诚的。他只惩罚坏人。他保护穷人,当地人和修士。让佐罗做他的工作,”唐·迭戈说。“你是个善良的人。你喜欢音乐和诗歌。你不明白,我的朋友。你既富有又高贵。”警官说。唐·迭戈笑着说:“现在是下午6点。我得回我的庄园了。大家晚安。”他打开酒馆的门,走到雨中。
