2020年7月大学英语四级听力真题原文：短文1
Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear three passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a ques- tion, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D) . Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
There is a saying that goes something along the lines of ‘You must love yourself first before you can love someone else.’ Similarly, I personally believe that you must be comfortable and happy in your own company before you can truly be yourself in the company of others. There is a massive difference between being lonely and being alone. Loneliness is a horrible feeling. However, you don’t have to actually be alone to feel that way. Many times, I’ve felt lonely when surrounded by a big group of people. In contrast, being alone can actually be a blessing, particularly, when you’ve actively chosen it. In my experience, being bored and alone is dangerous and can easily lead to the feeling of loneliness. The trick is to be active. Get outside, stretch your legs, do something cultural, buy yourself something tasty to eat or something pretty to wear. You don’t have to take anyone else into consideration and can do whatever you please. Spending time alone also allows you to more efficiently take care of problems. And then, when it’s time to be social and meet up with your friends, you will be fully there, because you won’t have too much other stuff floating around in your mind. Having been alone for a bit, you will also appreciate your friends’ company more and chances are your time spent together will be more worthwhile.
Question 16: What does the speaker say about being alone?
Question 17: What does the speaker say how to rece one’s feeling of loneliness?
Question 18: What is an advantage of spending one’s time alone?

銆銆M: I bet you're looking forward to the end of this month. Are you?
銆銆W: Yes, I am. How did you know?
銆銆M: David told me you had a special birthday coming up.
銆銆W: Oh鈥yeah that's right. This year will be my golden birthday.绗8棰
銆銆M: What does that mean? I've never heard of a golden birthday.
銆銆W: I've actually just learnt this concept myself. Fortunately, just in time to celebrate. A golden or lucky birthday is when one turns the age of their birth date. So, for example, my sister's birthday is December 9th and her golden birthday would have been the year she turned nine years old. Come to think of it, my parents did throw her a surprise party that year. 绗9棰
銆銆M: Interesting. Too bad I missed mine. My golden birthday would've been four years ago. I assume you got big plans then.
銆銆W: Actually yes. My husband is planning a surprise holiday for the two of us next week. I have no idea what he's got in mind, but I'm excited to find out. Has he mentioned anything to you?
銆銆M: He might have.
銆銆W: Anything you'd like to share? I'm dying to know what kind of trip he has planned on where we're going. 绗10棰
銆銆M: You know nothing at all?
銆銆W: Not a clue. Hard to imagine, isn鈥檛 it? Though I must say I think he's been having even more fun keeping the secret from me in the past few weeks.

銆銆W: Mr. Green, what do you think makes a successful negotiator?
銆銆M: Well, that鈥檚 hard to define. But I think successful negotiators have several things in common. They are always polite and rational people. They are firm but flexible. They can recognize power and know how to use it. They are sensitive to the dynamics of the negotiation. 绗12棰 The way of rises and falls and how it may change direction. They project the image of confidence, and perhaps most importantly, they know when to stop. 绗13棰
銆銆W: And, what about an unsuccessful negotiator?
銆銆M: Well, this is probably all of us when we start out. We are probably immature and over-trusting. Too emotional or aggressive. We are unsure of ourselves and we want to be liked by everyone. Good negotiators learn fast. 绗14棰 Poor negotiators remain like that and go on losing negotiations.
銆銆W: In your opinion, can the skills of negotiation be taught?
銆銆M: Well, you can teach someone how to prepare for a negotiation. There are perhaps six stages in every negotiation. Get to know the other side. 绗15棰 State your goals. Start the process. Clarify areas of disagreement or conflict. Reassess your position. Making acceptable compromises. And finally, reach some agreement in principle. These stages can be studied. And strategies to be used in each can be planned beforehand. But I think, the really successful negotiator is probably born with six sense about responding appropriately to the situation at hand.
銆銆W: The artistic sense you鈥檝e just described?
銆銆M: Yes. That鈥檚 right.

16.
A. The woman is excited to have lunch with the man.

答案解析：
15.
W: I want to send this package by first class mail. I'dalso like some stamps.
M: Do you want the mail insured?
Q: Where are the two speakers?
正确答案：B
解析：女士说：“我想以第一类邮件的方式寄这个包裹，另外我还想买几张邮票。”男士回答：“你的邮寄物品需要买保险吗?”可见对话发生在邮局，即B。介词“in/at+地点名词”构成标准的询问对话发生场所的场景题选项。解答这类题时，要留意对话双方的话，由关键词确定答案。本对话中，第一个说话人说的send this package byfirst class mail, stamps以及第二个说话人说的mail, insure，都是邮寄东西时常用的词汇。
16.
M: I thought that maybe we could go there for lunch today. That is, if you haven't promised togo with someone else.
W: That'd be wonderful, Joe. But I hope you're in a better mood than you were this morning.
Q: What does the woman mean?
正确答案：C
解析：男士提议说，女士如果没有约会的话，中午一起吃饭;女士表示赞同，说：“太好了。不过我希望你的心情已经比上午好了一些。”言下之意说，男士上午情绪不好，故C正确。“中but”题。女士的话That'd bewonderful... 是随口赞同说的客气话，并不表示女士很兴奋excited，据此排除A。but后面的内容才是重点，它表明男士上午情绪不佳，故选C，同时排除其他。
大学英语四级考试听力素材及答案
听力真题：
Section C
pound Dictation
Corporations as a group offer a variety of jobs. Most large panies send people to colleges to 36 ______ graating students with the 37 ______ academic training. A large university may have more than 500 panies a year knocking on its doors. Big firms are your best 38 ______ for a job because their normal growth, employee 39 ______ , and turnover create thousands of job 40 ______ nationwide each year.
Corporations, however, 41 ______ the rule that the biggest isn't always the best. Many *** all firms with a few hundred employees have positions that may 42 ______ with your professional goals, too. Such firms may not have the time, money, or need to send people around to your college; you will probably have to 43 ______ them yourself either directly or through an employment agency. Don't ignore these little panies. 44 _____________________________________________________________ . You could bee a big fish in a pond, reaching a high-level position more quickly than you would 45 _____________________________________________________ .
For example, a *** all pany may need a bright engineering, accounting or management graate who report directly to the senior vice-president of engineering, the pany controller, or the general manager. 46 ___________________________________________________________________ . In addition, responsibilities may e faster in a *** all firm with less specialization and fewer lower-level employees to receive delegated authority.
答案解析：
36. interview
解析：不定式to后面加原形动词。interview意为“对……进行面试”。
37. required
解析：此处是动词的过去分词作定语，修饰后面的名词，不要漏写结尾的ed。
38. place
解析：此处是名词位于形容词后，作表语。
39. retirements
解析：与前面的growth和后面的turnover属于并列关系，此处也需要名词，拼写时记得最后还有个表复数形式的s。
40. openings
解析：由前面修饰的片语thousands of可知此处需复数名词，opening表示“空缺”之义，不要漏写结尾的s。
41. illustrate
解析：此处应采用一般现在时，由于主语是复数名词，因此该词是原形动词。illustrate在此意为“说明”。拼写时注意中间有两个l。
42. correspond
解析：情态动词may后面，应是原形动词，该词与with搭配。correspond with在此处意为“与……一致。”拼写时注意中间有两个r。
43. contact
解析：片语have to后面接原形动词;根据上下文，该词很可能表示联络之义。
44. 标准答案：Their salaries are usually petitive and the chances for advancement are even stronger than those of a big firm
听音关键：salaries, petitive, chances for advancement, stronger than, big firm
答案重构：Their salaries are usually good and you will have stronger chances for advancement in these little panies
画龙点睛：此句听写只要抓住两层意思：小公司薪水也好而且晋升机会较大，按照听到的关键词把意思表达完整即可。
45. 标准答案：if you had climbed the more petitive ladder of a corporate giant
听音关键：had climbed, more petitive ladder, corporate giant
答案重构：if you had climbed the more petitive ladder of a big pany
画龙点睛：此句采用了虚拟语气，故从句要用过去完成时。结尾的a corporate giant，可用意思类似的a big pany替换，单词简单，也避免拼错。
46. 标准答案：In large firms it may take years to reach that level and accumulate similar experience
听音关键：large firms, take years, reach that level, accumulate, similar experience
答案重构：In big panies, if you want to be in that position and get similar experience, you may spend years of time
画龙点睛：原句是用it作形式主语，可根据句子含义，转换一下主语，换一种表达。
大学英语四级考试听力练习及答案
听力真题：
Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
19.
A. A hair wash.
B. A nail trim.
C. A massage.
D. A shave.
20.
A. He didn't have a clear idea of the plete service.
B. He wanted the best service.
D. He just wanted his hair cut the way he likes.
D. He wanted his hair to be trimmed quickly.
21.
A. Your hands look good.
B. Your hair is in good condition.
C. You have a good beautician to serve you.
D. You can relax.
22.
A. He is going to a business convention in town.
B. He is going to meet his clients.
C. He is going to deal with workplace accidents.
D. He is going to be interviewed for new employment.
答案解析：
Now you'll hear the two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Hi. How can we help you today?
M: Yeah. I'd like to get my hair trimmed a little. Nothing fancy. Just a basic trim.
W: Well, can we interest you in today's special?
M: Um... No...
W: [19]We'll shampoo, cut, and style your hair for one unbelievable low price of $9.99. Plus, we'll give you a clean shave and a back massage to help you relax. Best service in town!
M: Okay, [20]I'll have the plete service today, but as I said before, I just want to get my hair trimmed. A little off the top and sides. That's all. I mean, that's all.
W: No problem. Relax. [21]You're in good hands. Okay, here we go. So, what do you do for a living?
M: I'm a lawyer, specializing in workplace accidents, and [22]I'm in town for an interview for a new job, and... Hey, what happened to my hair? And what's left of my hair turned purple. Are you even a licensed beautician?
W: Well, sir. We offer a money-back guarantee on all our work, so if you're not pletely satisfied...
M: Satisfied? I'm anything but satisfied. [22]How in the world am I supposed to go to a job interview looking like this? Forget it. Forget it.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
19. What is one service NOT included in the special price at the beauty salon?
正确答案：B
解析：女士说，当日的特别优惠是以9.99美元的价格享受洗、剪、吹，外加剃须、背部 *** 。A、C、D均有提及;只有B修指甲不在服务范围内，故应选B。通读选项，知道这篇对话与理发有关。本题选项涉及相关服务专案，解答时要注意对话中提到哪些专案，以做相应标记。此外，修指甲不属于一般男士理发业务范围，根据“主题原则”，与主题无关的即为答案，直接选B。
20. Why does the man repeatedly say "That's all"?
正确答案：C
解析：男士的原话是：“今天就来整套服务吧。不过，……我只想把头发修一下。上面和两边都稍微修剪一点点就可以了……”这里的“That's all”表明男士不想要别的花样，只需要自己想要的服务，故C正确。根据男士说的“Okay, I'll have the plete service today”，可排除A甚至D全套服务所需的长时间与quickly矛盾;B无依据。
21. What does the beautician mean by "You're in good hands"?
正确答案：C
解析：女士说：“没问题，放松点，给你服务的是个好手。”所谓“好手”即是水平高的美容美发师，故C正确。本题问“You're in good hands”是什么意思 。像这种“短语含义题”，绝不能选其单词本义，由此可排除A;若头发状态良好，就不用来理发了，故B也可排除;D是利用原词relax设定的干扰项。
22. Why does the customer go to this beauty salon to improve his appearance?
正确答案：D
解析：男士先说，他到城里来面试一份新工作。随后又抱怨，“我这个样子怎么去面试?”可见男士来美容院理发是为了参加面试，故D正确。四个选项均以“He is going to”开头，差别在to后面的内容上。A、B未提到，可排除;男士说他是一个处理工伤事故的律师，C中的一般将来时态与对话内容不一致。

答案解析：
Section C
pound Dictation
36. recent
解析：此处需要以子音发音开头的形容词作定语。
37. failing
解析：前面有系动词are，又是主动词态，需用现在分词。
38. essential
解析：此处需要形容词，注意双写s和词尾tial。essential意为“基本的”。
39. awareness
解析：此处需要名词，拼写时注意结尾双写s。awareness表示“意识，认识”。
40. fluency

解析：根据该句后面的was可知，此处应用一般过去时，勿漏词尾的ed。gather表示“收集”之义。
43. sample
解析：此处需填入一个以子音发音开头的可数名词，sample意为“样品，样本”。
44. 标准答案：Almost all of the 72 institutions in our sample earned a 'failing' grade
听音关键：Almost all, 72 institutions, sample, failing
答案重构：Almost all of the 72 institutions in our sample failed the program
画龙点睛：此句重点要表达的是最后的earned a 'failing' grade， 即被选入参与专案的有代表性的学校中，几乎全部都得到一个不合格的分数，可直接用动词fail替换。
45. Those elements were identified as necessary for effective reading instruction
听音关键：elements, identified, necessary, effective, instruction
答案重构：Those elements proved to be necessary for effective reading instruction
画龙点睛：be identified as意为“结果是，证明是”，可用更为经常使用的prove to替换。
46. have been the driving force behind state and federal initiatives for raising student achivement ever since

Did you know that there's a kind of bird that can sew? This bird, called the "Tailor Bird", uses its mouth as a needle. [29]It sews leaves together in the shape of a cup. Then it adds a layer of straw to the inside of the cup and lays its eggs there. Each bird species builds its own special kind of nest. The most mon materials used for nests are grasses, branches, and feathers. A bird must weave these materials into a nest. Just imagine building a house without cement or nails to hold it together! Another bird is called the "Weaver Bird". The "Weaver Bird" builds a nest that looks like a basket. The nest does shape like a pear with a hole in the middle. [30]The hole is the door of the nest. A third bird is called the "Oven Bird". The "Oven Bird" makes a nest that is very solid. [31]The nest is made of mud. The "Oven Bird" forms the mud into the shape of an oven, and then lets it dry in the sun. The sun bakes the mud, making it very hard. Not all birds make their homes in branches. [32]Some birds build their nests on the ground while others bury their eggs under the ground, and some birds do not build nests at all. So when you look for nests and eggs in the branches of trees and bushes, [32]remember that some nests may be right under your feet.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. What does the nest built by a Tailor Bird look like?
正确答案：B
解析：文章主要提到3种鸟，需要一一记录相关资讯，题目顺序一般与资讯出现的顺序一致。最先听到的是tailor bird，而题目询问缝叶莺的巢看上去是什么样子。关键是要听到“它缝叶莺把树叶缝在一起，呈杯状。”故选B。A是织巢鸟的窝的样子，C是无关选项，D是灶巢鸟的窝的样子。
30. Why is there a hole in the Weaver Bird's nest?
正确答案：B
解析：听到的第2种鸟是weaver bird，而题目询问织巢鸟的窝上为什么有一个洞。关键是要听到“这个洞是鸟巢的门。”因此答案为B。
31. What is the Oven Bird's nest made of?
正确答案：C
解析：第3种鸟是oven bird，而题目询问灶巢鸟的窝是用什么做的。关键是要听到“这个窝是用泥巴做的。”故C正确。此外，原文提到Oven Bird时，三次提及了mud这个单词，应该不难得出答案C。符合短文听力“听到什么选什么”的解题原则。
32. What might surprise us about birds' nests according to the speaker?
正确答案：A
解析：题目询问根据作者所说，鸟巢可能让我们感到惊讶的是什么。关键是要听到最后一句“……记住，有些鸟巢也许就在你的脚下”。故选A。符合“同义替换”的原则。短文结尾处常设考点。

銆銆When you look up at the night sky锛 what do you see锛 There are other heavenly bodies out there besides the moon and stars. One of the most fascinating of this is a comet. Comets were formed around the same the earth was formed. They are made up of ice and other frozen liquids and gasses. Now and then these dirty snow balls begin to orbit the sun just as the planets do. As a comet gets closer to the sun, some gasses in it begin to unfreeze. They combine with st particles from the comet to form a huge cloud. As the comet gets even nearer to the sun and solar wind blows the cloud behind the comet thus forming its tail. The tail and generally fuzzy atmosphere around the comet are characteristics that can help identify this phenomenon in the night sky. In any given year锛 about dozen known comets come close to the sun in their orbits. The average person can鈥檛 see them all of course. Usually there is only one or two a year bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Comet Hale-Bopp discovered in 1995 was an unusually bright comet.

Passage One
My parents ran a small restaurant. The restaurant was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And my first job when I was six years old was shining shoes for customers. My ties increased as I grew older. By age ten I was clearing tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made a mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me 10 pounds a week. He said, "Ok, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring in your friends for free drinks." He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week.

Cambridge is about 90 kilometres northeast of London. It is one of most beautiful places in Britain. Everything about the city of Cambridge reminds you of its famous university: student on bicycles, an atmosphere of learning, traditions and the magnificent buildings of the 30 colleges that are in the University of Cambridge. Most of the colleges stand on the bank of the Cam River a gentle river that flows through the heart of the city. Tourists and students like boating in a kind of flatbottom boat to see the colleges or to relax themselves. If the water traffic reminds the visitor of Venice, the road traffic is more likely to recall Beijing or Amsterdam. The streets are full of bicycles, hundreds and hundreds of them. They provide a cheap form of transport for the students and very conveniently of getting around the Cambridge's nearer streets.

Section A
Directions: In this section, you will hear 10 short conversations. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the question will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer.

Example: You will hear:

B) In the waiting room.
C) At the airport.
D) In a restaurant.
From the conversation we know that the two were talking about some work they had to finish in the evening. This is most likely to have taken place at the office. Therefore, A) "At the office" is the best answer. You should choose [A] on the Answer Sheet and mark it with a single line through the centre.
Sample Answer [A] [B] [C] [D]
