Well, if you want to get a raise at work, but you just don't know how to ask, our next guest has some helpful tips on how to raise your pay by helping you negotiate with the boss. Here's Janet Smith, senior director from DOS Executive Search Firm in San Diego. Hi, Janet. How do we get a raise?欢迎来到我们每周的节目。如果你想在工作中加薪，但又不知道如何开口，我们的下一位嘉宾给出了一些有用的建议，教你学会如何与老板谈判来加薪。这是珍妮特·史密斯，她是来自圣地亚哥DOS高管猎头公司的高级主管。嗨，珍妮特。我们怎样才能加薪呢?Well,we found in our report that there are really four things that you could do. The first step was making sure your boss knew what you are up to. He can't see everything. And you have to make sure he knows you're here contributing to the bottom line.嗯，我们在报告中发现，实际上有四件事你可以做。首先就是确保你的老板知道你在做什么。他不能看得到所有。所以你必须确保他知道你在这里为公司最终效益做出了贡献。Well,that could be bragging, though. So, you have to shamelessly promote yourself then.好吧。尽管这可能是在自夸。所以，那时你必须厚着脸皮地推销自己。Maybe not shame-free, you don't want to be rude. But every now and again, if you did something that's really noteworthy, let them know, or to get praised from somebody else.或许不是无脸无皮，你不想显得很粗鲁。但时不时地，当你做了真正有价值的事时，让他们知道，或者让其他人称赞你。So,should you just put together a list of things you've done and hand it to your boss?所以，你应该把你做过的事情列一张清单交给你的老板吗？It doesn't work, because the boss generally has the data to check up on you. So,the second point is don't overstate, because if you lie, you are really going to lose a lot of credibility on the things that you actually did do well.这没有用的，因为老板通常有数据来监督你。所以，第二点，不要夸大其词，因为如果你说谎了，你真的会失去很多关于你实际上做得很好的事情的可信度。Right.Definitely.对。绝对是的。OK.So, what you want to do is to point out some of the things that you've done, but be honest about it, and only take credit where credit is due.好的，所以你要做的就是指出你做过的一些事情，但是要诚实，只把功劳归于应得的地方。That's correct.没错。And third, you may think ahead.第三，你可以事先考虑。What do you mean by that?这是什么意思？A lot of people forget the things that they've done that are good, so one of the things that we found was that it was really helpful if you kept a diary of the things that you've done that work extraordinary. And then come with review time,you're prepared, and you really should be preparing about, you know, three months in advance to win your performance tributes.很多人都会忘记自己的优秀表现，所以我们发现，如果你把自己做过的杰出的事情记在日记里，真的很有帮助。然后是复习时间，你已经准备好了，你真的应该提前三个月准备，来赢得对你日常表现得最好展现。That's a good idea. All right, then what's the last point?这是个好主意。好，那么最后一点是什么呢?The last point is to go online.最后一点是上网。You can research competitive wages for your, particular job at either salary.com, salary expert.com or bls.gov. So that's some of my advice. And hopefully people willcheck it out.你可以在salary.com、salaryexpert.com或bls.gov上搜索你的、特定工作的竞争性薪资。以上就是我的一些建议。希望大家可以留意一下。Yeah,I think I want to go see my boss.是的，我想我要去见我的老板。Yes,you can, but get prepared.是的，你可以，但是要做好准备。OK.Janet, thank you for joining us. We appreciate it.好的。珍妮特，谢谢你来我们的节目。非常感谢。Thank you very much.谢谢你。Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.请根据对话二回答6-10小题。Question 6. Who is Janet Smith?问题6.珍妮特·史密斯是谁?Question 7. What is the first tip from Janet?问题7.珍妮特给的第一个建议是什么？Question 8. Why is it a bad idea to overstate what you have done?问题8.为什么夸大自己所做的事情不是一个好主意？Question 9. Why should we think ahead according to Janet?问题9.珍妮特认为我们为什么要超前思考？Question 10. Where can we check competitive wages?问题10.我们在哪里可以查到竞争性薪资?

I mean, you are American, and I thought it was only us Brits who went for things like that. Susan Writer Wells, it sounds almost invented, doesn't it?今天我们来谈谈姓氏。苏珊，我经常在想为什么你有双重姓氏。我是说，你是美国人，我以为只有我们英国人才会那样。Susan Writer Wells，听起来几乎是虚构的，不是吗？Well,you're actually not far off the mark. You know my mom was a feminist, don't you?嗯，实际上你说的基本正确。你知道我妈妈是个女权主义者，对吧？Really?I never knew that. Well, go on then.真的吗？我从来不知道。好吧，你继续说。Yeah.Well, her maiden name was Morse. And at that time, I'm talking about the late 1960s, women like my mom were really trying to liberate themselves from male bondage, as they called it. So, some of them began rejecting their father's surname and decided to invent their own surname instead. And because my mom was a journalist, she decided to call herself Cindy Writer.是的。嗯，她娘家姓莫尔斯。在那个时候，我指的是20世纪60年代末，像我妈妈这样的女性真的在努力把自己从她们所说的男性束缚中解放出来。因此，他们中的一些人开始拒绝父亲的姓氏，决定创造自己的姓氏。因为我妈妈是个记者，她决定称自己为辛迪Cindy Writer。Cindy Writer.

2019年英语专业四级听力 演讲Revision of Essay Drafts文章草稿的修改Good morning everyone. In today's lecture, I'm going to talk about how to revise essay drafts and give you some tips as well.大家早上好。在今天的讲座中，我将谈一谈如何修改文章草稿，并且也会给出一些建议。The initial revision should, of course, focus on the essay as a whole.当然，最初的修改应该把重点放在文章的整体上。You'd ask yourself: do I reach my writing objective?你会问自己：我是否达到了写作目标？Does my essay directly answer the question? Is my main idea clear?我的文章是否直接回答了这个问题？我的中心思想清楚吗？In order to answer these questions, what you need to do first is to revise for content.为了回答这些问题，你首先需要做的是修改内容。The typical rough draft may have too little and too much content all at the same time.草稿中存在的典型问题是可能同时包含太少和太多的内容。It will have touched the surface of some portions of the essay without providing adequate explanation or convincing detail.它可能在一些部分泛泛而谈，没有提供充分的解释和令人信服的细节。At the same time, it may have discussed things that do not contribute significantly to your major points.同时，它也可能谈论了太多和主题无关的信息。So,what is a good essay then?那么，一篇好的文章是什么样子的呢？A good essay eliminates irrelevant material while includes all the information necessary to your main point.一篇好的文章会省略无关的材料，同时包含所有必要的信息。Your reader needs sufficient evidence to accept what you are saying.你的读者需要足够的证据来接受你的言论。So,you have to make sure you have adequately developed and supported your main idea.所以，你必须确保你已经充分展开和支持你的主要观点。Content that is unrelated to the main idea should be eliminated.与主旨无关的内容应该被删除。Then,what is the second step in revision? That is revise for organization.那么，修改的第二步是什么呢？那就是修改结构。A well-organized essay will group similar ideas together and put them in the proper order.一篇条理清晰的文章会把相似的观点组织在一起，并按适当的顺序排列。If you find it easy to produce an outline from your draft, this means that thereisa clear logic to the flow of the content.如果你发现从你的草稿中很容易列出大纲，这意味着你的文章内容逻辑清晰。And you can be reasonably certain that you have a well-ordered essay; otherwise,reorder your content.你可以很确定你的文章布局良好，否则，就要重新布局你的文章了。The third step you are advised to take is to revise for length.第三步，我建议你修改文章的长度。Is your essay approximately the right length?你的文章长度合适吗？If it is substantially longer than the stated limit, you have to consider reducingthe supporting material.如果它比要求的长度超出很多，你需要考虑减少辅助内容。But even if there's no stated limit, or you are allowed to write as long as you like,please adhere to a self-imposed limit.但是，即使没有明确的限制，或者你可以随意书写，也请坚持自我设限。And unless addressing a topic that needs lengthy explanation, stick to it.除非处理一个需要冗长解释的话题，否则坚持下去。The steps I have mentioned so far actually refer to revision of an essay as a whole.到目前为止，我所提到的步骤都是指在文章整体基础上的修改。The next step is to revise for components of the essay including the paragraphs, sentences,and individual words.下一步是修改文章的组成部分，包括段落、句子和单个单词。You may ask: how am I going to revise paragraphs?你可能会问：我要怎么修改段落？Well,I'd say a paragraph is not arbitrarily formed.好吧，我想说一个段落不是随意写成的。It should revolve around an idea, a theme.它应该围绕着一个想法、一个主题。Let me tell you one way to revise paragraphs: isolate a paragraph at a time, and make sure it runs smoothly and is not merely a bunch of unrelated statements put together.让我告诉你一种修改段落的方式：一次只修改一个段落，确保它书写流畅，而不是一堆不相关的语句堆砌。As for revision of sentences and words, most essay writers pile on one long sentence after another.对于句子和单词的修改，大多数的文章作者都是对一个接一个的长句子进行修改。Well,I'd suggest you avoid this by breaking up some of the longer sentences to provide variety.我建议你通过分解一些长句使句式变得多样化，从而避免这种情况。Use short sentences to make important points, and long sentences to explain complex ideas.用短句来强调重点，用长句来解释复杂的想法。Also try to use a variety of sentence structures to maintain reader interest.也要尝试使用各种句子结构来保持读者的兴趣。Eliminate sentences that sound awkward when read aloud.删去大声朗读时听起来很别扭的句子。For diction, a very important tip is to eliminate imprecise or wordy language.对于措辞来说，一个非常重要的建议是删除不精确或冗长的语言。Forexample, use although instead of despite the fact that;例如，使用“although”而不是“despite the fact that;try to add vigor to your writing by removing cliches, and use fresh and interesting descriptions.尝试通过删除陈词滥调来增加写作的活力，并使用新鲜有趣的描述。Try to write as much as possible with nouns and verbs rather than primarily with adjectives that slow the pace and reduce impact.尽量使用名词和动词，而不是主要用形容词来写作，这些形容词会减慢文章的推进速度，削弱文章的效果。Similarly,right in the active, not the passive voice.同样地，要尽量使用主动语态，而不是被动语态。Now let me just repeat what I have said today. Revision is important.现在让我复述一下今天所讲的内容。修改很重要。When you revise your draft as a whole, pay attention to content, organization and length.当你以一个整体来修改草稿时，注意内容、结构和篇幅。But don't forget to revise your essay in detail.但别忘了修改你文章的细节。Revision of sentences and words can also make the essay more interesting to readers.修改句子和单词也能使文章对读者来说变得更加有趣。

2018年英语专业四级听力 对话2Conversation Two对话2Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.根据对话2回答第6题到第10题Hello,and welcome to today's program. I'm Alice.大家好，欢迎来到今天的节目。我是爱丽丝。And I'm Jack. Hello.我是杰克。大家好。Hello,Jack. You're off on holiday tomorrow, aren't you?你好，杰克。你明天休假，是吗？I am and you know, and I'm dreading it. I hate flying!是的，你知道，我很害怕。我讨厌坐飞机！Do you? I didn't know you had a phobia- and that means a strong and unreasonable fear of something.是吗？我不知道你有恐惧症——就是对某种事物强烈而不合理的恐惧。Well,I don't think this is a phobia because it isn't unreasonable. Flying thousands of feet up in the sky, you know, that's not safe!嗯，我不认为这是恐惧症，因为它并非没有道理。你知道，在几干英尺的高空飞行很不安全Flying is safer than you think, Jack. It's much riskier to drive or cycle to work.And, actually, risk taking is the subject of today's show! Risk means the chances of something bad happening. For example, did you know that your chance of being knocked off your bicycle and killed during a one-mile journey is the same as your chances of winning the lotter乘飞机比你想象得要安全，杰克。开车或骑车上班风险更大。冒险！就是今天节目的主题！风险是指发生坏事的可能性。例如，你知道在一英里之内你骑自行车被撞到撞死的几率和你中彩票的几率是一样大的吗？I didn't know that.我不知道。Can you guess what are the chances of either of these two things happening?你能猜到这两种情况发生的概率是多少吗？I have no idea. One in a million?我不知道。一百万分之一吗？No,it's one in 14 million. You are as likely to win the national lottery from a single ticket as you are to be knocked off your bicycle and killed during a one-mile journey.不，是1千4百万分之一。你中全国彩票头奖的可能性就像一英里之内你骑自行车被撞倒撞死的可能性一样大。But why are we bad at assessing risk?但是为什么我们不善于评估风险呢？People typically fear anything which is small probability but it's extremely catastrophic if it were to happen...通常人们害怕的都是发生的可能性很小，但如果发生的话，将会是一场灾难的事情…….Recently we have another increase in these birds' virus outbreaks. People read about that. And they may pay a lot of attention to that in the news but they may forget to get their flu shot.最近这些鸟类病毒爆发事件又增加了。大家都知道这些。他们可能会在新闻中注意到这一点，但他们可能会忘记注射流感疫苗。That's right. We tend to worry about big or catastrophic events such as catching bird flu or dying in a plane crash because we react emotionally to them.对。我们倾向于担心重大或灾难性的事件，如感染禽流感或飞机失事伤亡，因为我们情绪上会对它们产生反应。Yeah.Catastrophic events feel like very real threats, while we tend to forget about the small but chronic risks that become more likely over time.是的。灾难性的事件感觉起来是非常真实的威胁，而我们往往会忘记那些随着时间的推移变得更有可能发生的，小而长期的风险。We do. So for example, what if there was a cigarette that killed you as soon as you smoked it? Nobody would do that, would they?是的。举个例子，如果有一根烟，你一抽完就会死，会出现什么样的情况？没有人会那样做，对不对?No,they wouldn't.对，没有人会那样做。But plenty of people are happy to smoke for years, and put off worrying about the health risks for the future.但是很多人很乐意吸烟很多年，并没有担心未来可能出现的健康风险。Yes,that's a good point, Jack! People feel they are in control of risks that stretch over time. You know, they think, "I could stop tomorrow" or"I could smoke less". But what about people who really enjoy taking big risks—those thrill seekers out there?是的，说得好，杰克！随着时间的推移，人们觉得他们能够控制住风险。你知道，他们会想，“我明天可以停下来”或者“我可以少抽烟”。但是那些真正喜欢冒险的人——那些寻求刺激的人呢？People who enjoy extreme sports actually seek out danger—it gives them extreme pleasure!喜欢极限运动的人实际上是在寻找危险，那给了他们极大的乐趣！If the risk is really high, it means that the pleasure needs to be equally high,or hopefully even higher—如果风险真的很高，那就意味着其中乐趣需要同样高，甚至更高.…..You're right.你说的对。Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.请根据对话2回答第6到10题。6.According to Alice, what is a phobia?问题6.根据爱丽丝的说法，什么是恐惧症？7.What are the chances of getting knocked off one's bicycle and killed in aone-mile journey?问题7.一英里之内骑自行车被撞倒撞死的可能性有多大？8.What kind of event do people tend to worry about?问题8.人们会担心什么样的事情？9.Which may involve a chronic risk?问题9.哪一项可能涉及慢性风险？10.Why do some people enjoy risks?问题10.为什么有些人喜欢冒险？

2018年英语专业四级听力 对话1Conversation One对话1Questions 1 to 5 are based on Conversation One.根据对话1回答第一题到第五题。Hi,Bob. You speak very good Chinese.嗨，鲍勃。你的中文讲得很好。Not really, Mary. I just know a little. Actually, not being able to speak a foreign language is a bit of a British trait or a particularly British characteristic. The British are generally considered to be lazy linguists. We just don't bother to learn another language.不，玛丽。我只会一点点。事实上，不会说外语是英国人的一个特点，或者是英国人的一个特别的特点。英国人通常被认为在学习外语方面比较懒惰。我们只是不想去学另一种语言。I guess the main reason is that when you travel around the world, you find that English is spoken almost everywhere.我想主要原因是你到世界的其他地方，会发现几乎所有的地方都说英语。Yes,yes. We get by. We survive on just using our mother language.是的，是的。我们勉强能对付过去。我们仅靠母语就生存。But you seem to love learning languages a lot. How many foreign languages can you speak?但是你似乎很喜欢学习语言，你能说多少种外语？Not that many. A bit of German, some French, Polish a little, Chinese of course, a bit of Japanese. That's about it.不是很多。一点德语，一点法语，一点波兰语，当然还有汉语，一点日语。仅此而已。I'm impressed. Well, what is the second most-spoken language in England? Is it Chinese?真惊人啊。那么，英国第二大语言是什么呢？是中文吗？No, I don't think so.不，我觉得不是。Then,that must be French.那一定是法语。No.According to the recent census, 104 different languages are spoken in the UK and Polish is the second most spoken language, followed by Punjabi and Urdu.不。根据最近的普查，英国有104种不同的语言，波兰语是第二大语言，其次是旁遮普语和乌尔都语。Then,do you have to learn a foreign language in school?那么，你在学校必须学外语吗？No,it's not compulsory. But recently a campaign was launched to encourage everyone in the UK to learn at least 1,000 words of another language.

2018年英语专业四级听力 演讲The Linguistic Gift of Babies婴儿的语言天赋Good morning, everyone. In today's lecture, I'm going to talk about something you can't see. That is, what's going on in the little brain of a baby.大家早上好。在今天的课上，我要讲一些你们看不到的东西。也就是：婴儿的大脑里是如何运转的。For example, how babies learn a language.例如，婴儿如何学习一门语言。It is always a question people show great interest in.这是一个大家很感兴趣的问题。Babies and children are geniuses until they turn seven, and then there's a systematic decline.婴儿和七岁之前的儿童都是天才，七岁后就会出现系统性的衰退。Work in my lab is focused on the first critical period in development, and that is the period in which babies try to master which sounds are used in their language.我的实验室里工作的重点就是发育的第一个关键时期，在这个关键时期，婴儿试图掌握在他们的语言中用到的音。We think, by studying how the sounds are learned, we'll have a model for the rest of language, and perhaps for critical periods that may exist in childhood for social, emotional and cognitive development.我们认为，通过研究声音是如何习得的，我们将建立一个适用于语言其他方面的模型，也可能适用于儿童时期可能存在的社交、情感和认知发展关键时期的模型。So we've been studying the babies by conducting an experiment.所以我们一直在通过实验来研究这些婴儿。During our experiment, the baby, usually a six-monther, sits on a parent's lap, and wetrain them to turn their heads when a sound changes—like from"ah" to "ee".在我们的实验中，婴儿，通常是6个月大的婴儿，坐在父母的膝盖上，我们训练他们当音变化的时候转过头去，比如从“啊”变成“咿”的时候。If they do so at the appropriate time, the black box lights up and a panda bear pounds a drum. What have we learned?如果他们在正确的时候这样做，黑盒子就会亮起来，熊猫就会敲鼓。我们学到了什么？Well,babies all over the world are what I like to describe as "citizens of the world".全世界的婴儿就是我所说的“世界公民”。They can discriminate all the sounds of all languages no matter what country we'retesting and what language we're using, and that's remarkable because you know,I can't do that.他们可以区分所有语言的所有音，不管我们测试的是哪个国家，用的是什么语言，这很了不起，因为你知道，我做不到。We're culture-bound listeners.我们的听力受到了文化限制。We can discriminate the sounds of our own language, but not those of foreign languages.我们能分辨出自己语言的音，却分辨不出外语的音。So the question arises: When do those citizens of the world turn into the language-bound listeners that we are?所以问题就来了：这些世界公民什么时候会变成我们这样只能听懂某一种语言的人？And the answer: before their first birthdays.答案是：在他们一周岁之前。What you see here is performance on that head-turn task for babies tested in Tokyo and the United States, here in Seattle, as they listened to the "ra"and "la"- sounds important to English, but not to Japanese.这里是东京和美国西雅图参加测试的婴儿在转头实验中的表现，此时他们听到了“ra”和“la”，这是英语中很重要的发音，日语中却不重要。So at six to eight months, the babies are totally equivalent.所以在6到8个月大的时候，婴儿们的表现是完全一样的。Two months later, something, something incredible occurs.两个月后，一些不可思议的事情发生了。The babies in the United States are getting a lot better while babies in Japan are getting a lot worse.美国的婴儿表现越来越好，而日本的婴儿表现越来越差。So the question is: What's happening during this critical two-month period?问题是，在这两个月的关键时期发生了什么？We know this is the critical period for sound development, but what's going on up there?我们知道这是辩声能力发展的关键时期，但是究竟发生了什么？May bethere are two things going on.也许发生了两件事。The first is that the babies are listening intently to us, and they're taking statistics as they listen to us talk—they're taking statistics.首先，婴儿们全神贯注地听我们说话，他们一边听我们说话一边做统计——他们在做统计。That is to say, the two babies listen to their own mother speaking motherese—the universal language we use when we talk to kids.也就是说，两个婴儿听他们自己的母亲说妈妈语——我们和孩子说话时使用的通用语。During the production of speech, when babies listen, what they're doing is taking statistics, that is, sound distribution on the language that they hear.在产生语言的过程中，当婴儿听的时候，他们所做的就是做统计，也就是说，他们听到的语言的声音分布。And those sound distributions grow and babies absorb more.这些声音分布不断完善，婴儿就吸收更多。And what we've learned is that babies are sensitive to the statistics, and the statistics of Japanese and English are very, very different.我们发现，婴儿对统计数据很敏感，而且日语和英语的统计数据非常非常不同。I mean, the sound distribution of both languages is different.我的意思是，两种语言的声音分布是不同的。So babies absorb the statistics of the language and it changes their brains;所以婴儿会吸收语言的统计数据，这会改变他们的大脑；it changes them from the citizens of the world to the culture-bound listeners that we are because we as adults are no longer absorbing those statistics.这使他们从世界公民变成了我们这些受到文化限制只能听懂某一种语言的人，因为我们成年后就不再吸收这些数据。In this case, of course, we're arguing that the learning of language material may slowdown when our distribution stabilizes.当然，在这种情况下，我们认为声音分布趋于稳定时，语言的学习可能会减慢。OK.Today, we just talked about a recent project on babies' language development.好的。今天，我们刚刚讨论了最近的一个关于婴儿语言能力发展的项目。In our next lecture, we will concentrate on bilingual people, how bilinguals keep two sets of statistics in mind at once.在下一讲中，我们将集中讨论双语者，双语者如何同时记住两组数据。

The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper词汇提示1.scout 侦察员2.canoe 独木舟3.paddle 划船原文Chapter II: Lost In The ForestA few miles west of Fort Edward, three men were sitting near a river.Two of the men were Indians.The other man was a white man.Chingachgook and his son, Uncas, were Mohicans.The white man was a scout called Hawk-eye.Hawk-eye had a long hunting-gun.The three men were talking.'My tribe is the oldest Indian tribe,' Chingachgook said. 'The blood of the Mohican chiefs is in me. Many summer ago, my tribe came here to the land of the Delawares.''Where are the Mohicans now?' asked Hawk-eye.'Where are the flowers of those summers?' said Chingachgook. 'Gone. All dead. After my death, Uncas will be the last of the Mohicans.'Suddenly,they heard a noise.Theyturned quickly.Hawk-eyelifted his gun.'Who is it?' he said.Duncan Heyward rode out of the forest. Cora and Alice followed him.'I am an English officer,' Duncan said. 'We have come from Fort Edward. How far is it to Fort William Henry?'Hawk-eye laughed. 'Fort William Henry?'You are going the wrong way,' he said. 'You are near Glenn's Falls.''The wrong way!' said Duncan. 'Then we are lost. But our Indian guide–' 'You have an Indian guide but you are lost in the forest?' said Hawk-eye. 'That is very strange. Is he a Delaware?''He is called Magua. He is a Huron', said Duncan.'But he lives with the Mohawks, and he is a guide for the Huron!' said Hawk-eye quickly.'You can trust a Mohican or a Delaware. But you cannot trust a Huron! Your guide will lead you to his friends. They will kill you. Let me see him.'Magua was standing behind Cora's horse.Hawk-eye looked at him.Then he went and spoke to Chingachgook and Uncas.Magua moved quickly. He ran into the forest.Hawk-eye,Chingachgook and Uncas ran after him.But Magua escaped.'What can I do?' thought Duncan. 'We are lost.'He turned to Hawk-eye.'Will you take us to Fort William Henry?' he asked. 'We will give you money.'Hawk-eye looked at Cora and Alice.'We will take you,' he told Duncan.'Money is not important. We will not leave you and the two young women here. Magua and his Huron friends will find you. Come now – quickly!'Duncan and Hawk-eye spoke to Cora and Alice.The sisters got off their horses.The Mohicans took the animals away.'They will hide the horses until the morning,' said Hawk-eye.He pulled a canoe from the tall grass at the side of the river.'Get into the canoe,' he said. 'We will go to a cave and we will stay there tonight.'Duncan,Cora and Alice got into the canoe.Hawk-eye pushed the canoe to the middle of the river.Then he got into the canoe.He started to paddle along the river.Soon they heard the sound of a great waterfall in front of them –Glenn's Falls. A few minutes later, they saw the waterfall.Hawk-eye paddled the canoe close to the great waterfall.Alice was afraid. She closed her eyes.Hawk-eye stop the canoe by a large flat rock, Cora, Alice and Duncan got out of the canoe.'Wait on the flat rock, rock I said to them. I will bring the Mohicans.'A few minutes later, Hawk-eye came back with Chingachgook and Uncas.The scout led everybody to a cave behind the waterfall.The cave was deep and narrow and dark.Hawk-eye immediately made a fire.Alice looked at the tall young Mohican, Uncas.'A strong man is guarding us,' she said quietly to her sister. 'We will be safe tonight.'翻译第二章：迷失在森林里在爱德华堡以西几英里的地方，有三个人坐在一条河边。其中两个人是印第安人。另一个人是白人。钦加古和他的儿子乌卡斯都是莫希干人。那个白人是一个名叫鹰眼的侦察兵。鹰眼有一支长长的猎枪。三个人在谈话。“我的部落是最古老的印第安部落，”钦加古说。我身上流着莫希干酋长的血。很多年前的夏天，我的部落来到了特拉华的土地上。”“莫希干人现在在哪儿？”鹰眼问。“那些夏天的花在哪里？”钦加古说。“一去不复返了。都死了。我死后，乌卡斯将是最后一个莫希干人。”突然，他们听到一个声音。他们迅速转过身来。鹰眼举起枪。“是谁？”他说。邓肯·海沃德骑马走出森林。科拉和爱丽丝跟着他。“我是英国军官，”邓肯说。“我们是从爱德华堡来的。到威廉·亨利堡有多远？”鹰眼笑了。“威廉·亨利堡？”“你走错路了，”他说。“你在格伦瀑布附近。”“走错了！”邓肯说。“那么我们就迷路了。但是我们的印第安向导——”“你有一个印第安向导，但你在森林里迷路了？”鹰眼说。“这太奇怪了。他是特拉华人吗？”“他叫马瓜。他是休伦人。”邓肯说。“但他和莫霍克人住在一起，他是休伦人的向导！”鹰眼赶紧说。“你可以信任莫希干人或特拉华州人。但你不能相信休伦人！你的向导会带你去找他的朋友。他们会杀了你的。让我看看他。”马瓜站在科拉的马后面。鹰眼看着他。然后他去找钦加古和乌卡斯谈话。马瓜行动迅速。他跑进了森林。鹰眼、钦加古和乌卡斯跟在他后面。但马瓜逃脱了。“我能怎么办呢？”邓肯想。“我们迷路了。”他转向鹰眼。“你能带我们去威廉·亨利堡吗？”他问。“我们会给你钱的。”鹰眼看着科拉和爱丽丝。“我们带你去，”他对邓肯说。“钱不重要。我们不会把你和那两个年轻女人留在这里。马瓜和他的休伦朋友会找到你的。来吧——快点！”邓肯和鹰眼对科拉和爱丽丝说。姐妹们下了马。莫希干人把动物带走了。“他们会把马藏起来直到明天早上。”鹰眼说。他从河边高高的草丛中拉出一只独木舟。“上独木舟去，”他说。“我们去一个山洞，今晚就在那儿过夜。”邓肯、科拉和爱丽丝上了独木舟。鹰眼把独木舟推到河中央。然后他上了独木舟。他开始沿河划桨。不久，他们听到前面有一个大瀑布的声音——格伦瀑布。几分钟后，他们看到了瀑布。鹰眼划着独木舟靠近大瀑布。爱丽丝很害怕。她闭上了眼睛。鹰眼把独木舟停在一块平坦的大石头旁，科拉、爱丽丝和邓肯下了独木舟。我对他们说，你们站在平坦的磐石上。我会把莫希干人带来。”几分钟后，鹰眼带着钦加古和恩卡斯回来了。侦察员带领大家来到瀑布后面的一个山洞。山洞又深又窄又黑。鹰眼立刻生起了火。爱丽丝看着高大的年轻莫希干人乌卡斯。“一个强壮的男人在保护我们，”她平静地对姐姐说。“今晚我们就安全了。”

They just might beholding back because they think you're too busy. So if they don't make that first step, you know, after a few days go ahead and introduce yourself.我觉得都可以。我是说，如果他们没来拜访你，不要觉得他们没礼貌、不友好。他们可能只是在犹豫，觉得你太忙了。所以，如果他们没有迈出第一步，过几天，你可以采取行动，去介绍你自己。Yeah,neighbors can be really helpful. But, of course they can also be annoying. For example,neighbors who make a lot of noise.对，邻居可能会非常乐于助人。不过，邻居也可能会特别烦人。比如那种制造噪音的邻居。Well,loud music is one of those top complaints, and I think you know for most reasons. People, they probably aren't even aware that they are causing problems for the neighbor. And I think if you bring it up to your neighbors' attention,they will be more than happy to fix it. You could say something like, you know,I'm kind of, I am really a light sleeper or I suffered from headache. Can you help me out by, you know, turning down the music during the evening hours or the early morning or come up with a compromise that works for both of you.嗯，嘈杂的音乐备受指责，我觉得你应该知道。人们可能察觉不到自己骚扰了邻居。我觉得如果你去找邻居说一下这个问题，他们会乐于改正的。你可以说，“呃，我，我睡觉比较轻”或者“我有点头疼”。“你可不可以帮帮忙，呃，晚上和清早音乐关小点”或者跟邻居商量一个折中的方案。Don't just call the police, right, which a lot of people do?所以不要动不动就叫警察对吗？好多人都这样做。Of course, no.当然不要。Right,then, what about a nosy neighbor.好的，那么，爱管闲事的邻居呢？Right,I think a lot of time we made mistake nosy behavior for being, you know, nosy or poky when they are just being kind of trying to be friendly. Or maybe that person's lonely, it's, you kind of have to see what the motive is there. And oftentimes if you are a little evasive or, you just don't answer their question they often take the hint and back off.嗯，我觉得很多时候我们都误会了。我们觉得是邻居多管闲事，可能他们只是表示友好的关心。也可能有些人太孤独了。你要看看他们多管闲事是因为什么。而且，如果你表现出逃避，或者，就不回答他们的问题，通常他们就懂了，也就不再问了。And the neighbor that comes to visit and won't go away?那么那种来了就不走的邻居呢？Well,I think you know that. There might be somebody who is just really lonely and wants a friend.嗯，我觉得你知道的。有人只是觉得孤独想交个朋友。You know oftentimes I think the rule is, a five or ten minute visit is fine. Because you know the way you are not imposing on that person's schedule or that person's plan. But you know you don't have to be best friends with her neighbor at all. You can just be polite and say hello in the morning and that makes everybody's relationship so much better.我觉得通常到邻居家做客5到10分钟就好。因为这样的话才不会打乱别人的计划。不过不一定非要和邻居做最好的朋友。礼貌相待，早上见面打声招呼，这就足够拉近关系了。Well,that's important, Betty Wong, thanks so much for the tips we appreciate from Family Circle Magazine.

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.

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。

The festive season is over — so, did all that holiday shopping break the bank?新年快乐，美好的节日假期就要结束了，那么，假期疯狂的购物是不是快让你倾家荡产了？You mean, did I spend too much money? Well, yes I did.你是想问我，假期是不是花了一大笔钱吧？嗯，是花了很多。Well,do you know about showrooming?你知不知道什么是“展厅销售”吗？Yes,customers visit shops to see and test products before buying them online.知道，就是顾客们到实体店体验产品，然后在网上购买。Yeah,you see technology is changing the way we shop and it could spell disaster- or be very bad for - the high street.对，先进的科学技术正在逐渐改变我们的购物方式，这对商业街上的实体店来说可能是一场大的灾难The high street, you mean those everyday shops that we normally see in our town centers?Things like shoe shops, news agents, supermarkets.商业街，你是指市中心的那些店铺吗？比如说鞋子专卖店，报刊亭，超市。Yes,the high street is competing with the internet. 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. Using a smartphone is an increasingly popular way to do this.说的好，也就是说我们可以选到最适合的商品。现在越来越多的人喜欢拿着智能手机网购商品。Smartphones are also useful for getting product reviews — these are the kind of opinions or comments about the product.还可以用智能手机浏览商品的评论——这些评论是消费者对于商品的意见或看法。Yes,and you can also use smartphones to scan the bar codes on the product and compare prices that way.没错，智能手机还可以扫描商品的二维码，还可以对比价格。So it seems browsing - that's looking at things to buy but not actually purchasing something in store —is set to increase. Does this mean the death of the high street?现在到实体店只浏览不消费的现象越来越严重。这是不是意味着实体店将要关门大吉？I think it will have to adapt or make changes. 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. Perhaps a discount voucher or a free gift?所谓刺激消费——是指说服顾客当场买下商品的一系列措施。可能是张折扣券或者一份免费的小礼物？Oh,yes.哦，是的。
