7、UNDERSTANDING PASSAGESListening Task 1 Passage oneToday, there are many opportunities open to those who wish to continue their education. However, nearly all require some break in ones job in order to attend school full time.Part time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend
8、a month, usually lasts a long period of time, As a result, many people find it almost impossible to complete a degree program. In addition, such programs require a fixed time, which can produce some bad effects on ones job and family time.Of the many ways of teaching and learning, however, perhaps d
9、istance learning can be said to fit our needs. Distance learning is an educational method, which allows students to study at a speed that is comfortable for them. In this way, students enjoy a good opportunity to achieve the educational goals necessary in todays world. The time required to study can
10、 be fixed according to the students actual needs and wants. In addition, students can participate in distance learning courses from almost any place in the world. They can receive teachers help through the online course, by telephone and over the Internet.Good distance learning programs have a lot o
11、f benefits. For example, students dont have to travel away from home to take a test. The distance learning course is the same as the courses students have at college. The degree offered is also the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. In fact, a good distance learning progr
12、am is popular not only with the students but also any company or business that wants to work for the educational benefit and business development of the company.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. According to the talk, what is meant by part time education?2 What is one
13、of the major benefits that distance learning offers to the students?3. How many benefits of good distance learning programs are mentioned in the talk?4. How can a business benefit from distance learning programs according to the speaker?5. What benefit does distance learning bring to a worker in a b
14、usiness according to the speaker?Key: 1. T 2. F 3. F 4. F 5. TPassage twoIn order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to get over the fear of making mistakes. If the major goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are second in importance and may be dealt with bit by bit as a
15、wareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may notice how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions are different from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Chinese speaker who has been sa
16、ying “I11 do it“ lo express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers, realize that native speakers actually say Tll do it,“ when they mean “right now.“ The resulting gap can serve as a base for the student to change his way of using the presen
17、t form in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn better.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the passage you have just heard, c6. What does the speaker mainly discuss in the talk?7. How can language learners reduce the number of their
18、 mistakes?8. What will happen to foreign language learners who do not communicate with native speakers?9. Why shouldnt foreign language learners worry too much about making mistakes?10. What does the speaker say about the use of mistakes in foreign language learning?Key: 6. F 7. T 8. T 9. F 10. FPas
19、sage threeMany Chinese students have studied English for more than ten years. However, they are still unable to speak English very well when they meet a native speaker. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uncomfortable. They are
20、afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.Its common that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to think about their ideas in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and positive belief in themse
21、lves.Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those native speakers with whom you are speaking? Dont be shy! They will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of mistakes is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that continual practice will help you succeed.
22、 Questions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What does this talk mainly discuss?12. Why are so many Chinese students good at writing English but poor at speaking English?13. Why are so many Chinese students afraid to speak to native speakers?14. How can we speak English well?

You are at an international meeting in Europe. You want to communicate with a doctor from Africa. What language do you speak with him? The answer
24、 is probably English.Today, nearly 600 million people around the world use the English language. Only half of them speak English as their first language.Why is English useful for international communication? For one thing, many books and papers in special fields are in English. As a result, people w
25、ith great knowledge in these special fields often learn English. Such people from different countries can use their English for international communication. English is really a world language.Key: 1. C 2. A 3.B 4.C 5.DPassage twoMany people go to school for an education. They learn languages, histor
26、y, political methods, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn skills in order to make a living. Traditional education is very useful and important. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students ever
27、ything they want to know. The teachers main job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to remember some facts or a fo
28、rmula. It is quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem.Great scientists before us didnt get everything from school. Edison didnt even finish junior school. He made so many things for us. These sc
29、ientists were so successful, but their teachers only showed them the way. The reason for their success was that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard ail their lives, was
30、ting not a single moment. Most important was that they knew how to use their brains. Kay: 6.

It will tel
31、l you a lot about a word: the pronunciation, the part of speech, the Chinese meaning and how to use this word. But how can you know where to find a word among thousands of English words? How do you find it both quickly and correctly in the dictionary?First, all the English words are listed in alphab
32、etical order. In the dictionary, first you will see all the words beginning with the letter A, followed by those beginning with B, C, and D and so on. That means with two words like “desert“ and “pull“, “desert“ must come before “pull“.Then, if two words both begin with the same letter, you look at
33、the second letter, then the third, the fourth and so on. For example, “pardon“ comes before “plough“, “judge“ before “just“, and so on.Do you understand now how to look up a word in a dictionary? The dictionary will be your good friends. I hope youll use it as often as possible in your English learn

(A)UNDERSTANDING PASSAGESListening Task 1 Passage one Until now, happy parents found themselves ignored by their young rebels, who charged t
41、hem with being too concerned with money and too anxious to influence the neighbors. Young people thought true success was a matter of self-satisfaction. And self-satisfaction included reaching ones goals and achieving happiness in ones own way without paying attention to rules, duties, or the opinio
42、ns of others.Most parents found it hard to accept their childrens thinking. They themselves had been brought up to respect traditional values; they had also learned to respect money because it was hard to find during their teenage years. They had married in the late 1930s or early 1940s, at a time w
43、hen it was difficult to give their children a carefree life. A married couples first duty, therefore, was to think of their childrens happiness. If the parents felt tired and unsatisfied, they didnt dare admit it: it was not done. On the other hand, while Mom and Dad were going without things, they
44、expected their children to obey the rules of “nice“ manners, and to grow up into adults that make parents proud. These were the very ideas against which the young rebels of the 1960s rebelled.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the passage you have just heard.1. According to the passage, what did children
45、 think of their parents?2. What was true success according to young people?3. What did most parents learn to do when they were young?4. What did parents think was their first duty?5.

He doesnt like my friends or my favorite records. “Youre making too much noise,“ he calls, “I cant get to sleep.“ When hes no
