銆銆M: Have you noticed the new stbin downstairs, atthe entrance of the main building?
銆銆W: Yeah, of course. It looks funny, though, like abattery. What's it for? Is it really for garbage?
銆銆M: Not really. Actually it's a stbin for usedbatteries.
銆銆W: Used batteries? What do you mean by that? Whydo we need a special stbin for used batteries?
銆銆M: Well, you know there are still a lot of heavy metals left in used batteries, so by recycling thebatteries, [23]we can not only make full use of the metals left, but also prevent theenvironment from being polluted.
銆銆W: Oh, I see. Can this work? Our efforts are too insignificant.
銆銆M: Even though we are not ecologists or biologists, there is still a lot we can do. [24]TheStudent Union is sponsoring a one-month program called "Green Movement", which is aimed atmaking more and more students aware of serious environmental problems we are facing now.
銆銆W: Sounds quite exciting-"Green Movement". What, for example, can I do?
銆銆M: Well, quite a lot. For one thing, you can stop using those plastic meal-boxes anddisposable wooden chopsticks. Plastic meal-boxes do great harm to the environmentanddisposable chopsticks are a big waste of forest resources. [25]Well, there will be a lecturetomorrow afternoon at four o'clock.

銆銆[26/27]Do you remember a time when people were a little nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do. And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance to get off first, or never saying "thank you" when others hold a door open for them. We get lazy and in our laziness we think that something like a simple "thank you" doesn't really matter. But it can matter very much. The fact is that no matter how nicely we dress or how beautifully we decorate our homes, we can't be truly elegant without good manners, because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand. In fact, I think of good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. [28]Haven't you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? It's funny how that happens, but it does. Take the long-lost art of saying "thank you" like wearing a little make-up, or making sure your hair is neat. Getting into the habit of saying "thank you" can make you feel better about yourself. [26]Good manners add to your image, while an angry face makes the best-dressed person look ugly.

B. At he post office.
C. In the bank.
D. In a park.
16.
A. The woman is excited to have lunch with the man.
B. The woman has appointment with someone else.

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

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。

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。

D. Most are dried by the sun.
答案解析：
Passage Two
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。

3) giving your comment.
阅读一
Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks--- we are not born with them.
A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US looks much alike.
New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that can not be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us.
This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the US, for example, the south is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people in Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.
1.Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ___________.
A.has little to do with culture B.has much to do much culture
C.is ever changing D.is different from place to place
2.According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _________.
A.before birth B.as soon as one’s teeth are newly set
C.some time after new teeth are set D.around 15 years old
3.Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the US a person is from by _______.
A.how much he or she smiles B.how he or she raise his or her eyebrows
C.what he or she likes best D.the way he or she talks
4.People who live _________ are more friendly.
A.in largely populated areas B.in New York City
C.in the country D.in the North

California—Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson expressed her anger and impatience with
President Bush last spring on her web page on MySpace.com . She posted a picture of the president, wrote “Kill Bush ” across the top and drew a sword stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.
It was too late, Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her biology class. The 14—year—old was taken out of class Wednesday and questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who said the agents should have included them when questioning their daughter.
The teenager said the agents’ questioning led her to tears. “I wasn’t dangerous,” said Wilson, an honor student who describes herself as politically enthusiastic. “I’m a peace-loving person. I’m against the war in Iraq. I’m not going to kill the president.”
Her mother, Kirstie Wilson, said two agents showed up at the family’s home Wednesday afternoon, questioned her and promised to return once her daughter was home from school.
After they left, Kirstie Wilson sent a next message to her daughter’s call phone, asking her to come straight home and telling her that two men from the secret service wanted to talk with her.
But moments later, Kirstie Wilson received a text message from her daughter saying agents had pulled her out of class.
Julia Wilson said the agents threatened her, saying she could be sent to court for making the threat. “They yelled at me a lot,” she said. “They were unnecessarily mean.”
Wilson and her parents said the agents were justified in questioning her over her MySpace.com posting. But they said the agents went too far by not waiting until she was out of school and the agents should have more quickly figured out they weren’t dealing with a real danger.
Assistant Principal Paul Robinon said the agents gave him the impression the girl’s mother knew they were planning to question her daughter at school. There is no legal requirement that parents be notified.
“This has been an on-going problem.” said Ann Brick, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties union in San Francisco.
Former governors Pete Wilson and Gray Davis vetoed(否决) bills that would have required that parents give permission or be present when their children are questioned at school by law enforcement officers.
1.Julia Wilson was questioned because .
A.she wanted to kill President Bush
B.she set up the website Myspace.com
C.the agents thought she might be a threat to the federal
D.she was a peace-loving person
2.What can we infer from the text?
A.Julia Wilson will be put into prison for making a threat.
B.Kirtie Wilson thought it wrong to question her daughter in school without them.
C.Assistant principal thought there was no need to inform Julia’s parents when questioning her.
D.Ann Brick believes that teenagers should not be politically enthusiastic.
3.What does the underlined word “mean” mean in the text?
A.cruel and violent B.poisonous
C.kind-hearted D.unfair
4.The author wrote this story mainly to .
A.struggle against the war in Iraq started by the US
B.discuss whether parents should be included when children are questioned
C.warn teenagers not to post web pages on websites
D.criticize the former governors who vetoed the bill
春节贴年画(pasting New Year Prints)的风俗源自于往房子外面的门上贴门神(Door Gods)的传统。随着木质雕刻品的出现，年画包含了更广泛的主题，最出名的就是门神，三大神—福神、薪神和寿神(Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity)，寓意着庄稼丰收、家畜兴旺和庆祝春节。年画的四大产地分别是苏州桃花坞，天津杨柳青，河北武强和山东潍坊。现在中国农村仍然保持着贴年画的传统，而在城市里很少有人贴年画。

作文范文：
The human being differs from the wild beast in that the latter is liable to have a hostile view of others and interact in an unreasonable and aggressive manner. Primitive humans might have acted in such fashion, but civilized humans should cultivate more appropriate behaviors.
In the drawing above, a man carrying a large load accidentally steps on a woman's foot. Given that he gracefully apologizes, the woman both accepts his apology and assures him not to worry.
The man and woman depicted interact with each other in a courteous and compassionate manner. The woman understands the man did not intentionally step on her foot, and therefore whether or not she is in pain, she does not attack or blame him. Because she is able to view the situation from his perspective, conflict is diverted. Mutual understanding such as this is a fundamental aspect of civilized society.
Some people tend to think the worst of others and become angry over even the smallest of matters, regardless of how their own actions are disturbing in turn. Such intolerance only leads to more conflict. Disrespecting or mistreating,people not only inflicts pain upon others, but can also harm one's own conscienceand attitude.
Having compassion for others is an important facet of social intercourse. Once one strives to understand the experience and perspective of another, one can avoid much trouble and conflict, thus making life more peaceful and just for all.

人类和野兽的区别就在于后者倾向于相互仇视，交往时不讲道理且好斗。原始人也许会如此行事，但文明人应该养成更得体的举止。
上图中，一个手里捧着很多东西的先生无意中踩了旁边女士的脚。在他有礼貌地道歉后，这位女士不仅接受了他的道歉，还让他不必在意。
上图中的先生和女士诠释了在与人交往时应有的礼貌和富有同情心的态度。这位女士知道他并不是有意要踩她的脚，所以无论疼不疼，她都不会攻击或是埋怨这位先生。因为她能设身处地地看待这件事情，一场冲突就避免了。像这样的相互理解是构成文明社会的基本方面。
一些人往往把别人想得特别坏，为点鸡毛蒜皮的事就大发雷霆，而全然不顾他们自己的行为是多么让别人讨厌。这种偏狭只会导致更多的冲突，对人无礼或粗暴不仅会给别人带来不愉快，而且会损害自己的道德水准和仪态。宽厚是社交中重要的一面，一旦一个人努力去理解别人的做法和看法，他就会避免许多麻烦和冲突，而这会让所有人的生活都变得更美好。

The custom of pasting New Year Prints in Spring Festival originated from the tradition of pasting Door Gods on the external doors of the houses. With the creation of board carvings, New Year paintings cover a wide range of subjects. The most famous ones are Door Gods and Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity, signifying the abundant harvest of crops, the prosperity of domestic animals and the celebration of Spring Festival. Four procing areas of New Year Prints are Taohuawu of Suzhou, Yangliuqing of Tian Jing, Wuqiang of Hebei and Weifang of Shandong. Now the tradition of pasting New Year paintings is still kept in rural China, while it is seldom followed in cities.

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. Its orbit bought it relatively to the earth within 122 million miles of it. But Hale-Bopp came a long way on its earthly visit. It won鈥檛 be back for another 4 thousand years or so.
