四級(jí)考試聽力之長(zhǎng)對(duì)話第一篇
M: When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons.
W: The seasons?
M: Yeah, you know, how cold it is in winter, why its light in the day is so short?
W: So what is it like?
M: Well, it’s cold, very cold in winter, sometimes as cold as 26 degrees below centigrade. And of course, when you go out, you wrap up warm, but inside, in the houses, it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home. Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even when they’re in winter.
W: And what about the darkness?
M: Oh, yeah, around Christmas time, there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really look forward to the spring. It’s sometimes a bit depressing, but you’ll see the summers are amazing. From May to July in the north of Sweden, the sun never sets. It’s still light at mid-night. You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.
W: Oh, yeah, the Land of the Mid-night Sun.
M: That’s right, but it’s wonderful. You want to stay up all night and the Sweden’s made the most of it. Often they start work early in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings. They like to work hard, but play hard too. I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure this is a good thing.
Question 19: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
Question 20: What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter?
Question 21: How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden？
Question 22: What does the man say about the Swedish people?

W: What kind of training does one need to go into this type of job?
M: That’s a very good question. I don’t think there is any, specifically.
W: For example, in your case, what’s your educational background?
M: Well, I get a degree in French in Nottingham, after that, I did career’s work in
secondary schools, like the career’s guidance people here in the university. Then I went into local government, because I found I was more interested in the administrative side. Then progressed on to universities. So there isn’t any plan and specific training. There are plenty of training courses in management techniques and committee work which you can attend now.
W: But in the first place, you did a French degree.
M: In my time, there wasn’t a degree you could do for administration. I think most of the administrators I’ve come across have degrees in all sorts of things.
W: Well, I know in my case I did an English Literature degree and I didn’t really expect to end up doing what I’m doing now.
M: Quite.
W: Were you local to Nottingham actually? Is there any reason why you went to Nottingham University?
M: No, no. I come from the north of England from west Yorkshire, Nottingham is one the universities I put on my list and I like the look of it. The campus is just beautiful.
W: Yes, indeed. Let’s see, were you from the industrial part of Yorkshire?
M: Yes, from the Woolen district.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
Question 23：What was the man’s major at university?
Question 24：What was the man’s job in secondary schools?
Question 25：What attracted the man to Nottingham University?

Our lives are woven together. As much as I enjoy my own company, I no longer imagine I can get through a single day much less or my life completely on my own. Even if I am on vacation in the mountains, I’m eating food someone else has grown, living in a house someone else has built, wearing clothes someone else has sewn from cloth woven by others, using electricity someone else is distributing to my house. Evidence of interdependence is everywhere. We are on this journey together. As I was growing up, I remember being carefully taught that independence not interdependence was everything. Make your own way, stand on your own two feet, or my mother’s favorite remark when I was face to face with consequences of some action, ‘now that you’ve made your bed, lie on it’. Total independence is a dominant theme in our culture. I imagine that what my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibility for my actions and my choices. But the teaching was shaped by our cultural images. And instead I grew up believing that I was supposed to be totally independent, and consequently became very reluctant to ask for help. I would do almost anything not to be a burden and not require any help from anybody.
