四级范文听力(汇总 15 篇)四级范文听力 第 1 篇 Passage One Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years,people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else.“While we teach,we learn,”said Roman philosopher Seneca.Now scientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date.Theyre documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn,and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material,recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively.Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils whore learning only for their own sake.But how can children,still learning themselves,teach others?One answer:They can tutor younger kids.Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings(兄 弟 姐 妹).This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings.Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects.They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students,who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the“teachable agent”a computerized character who learns,tries,makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil.Computer scientists have created an animated(动 画 的)figure called Bettys Brain,who has been“taught”about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students.Student teachers are motivated to help Betty master certain materials.While preparing to teach,they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding.And as they explain the information to it,they identify problems in their own thinking.Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors learning.The agents questions compel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways,and watching the agent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.Above all,its the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning.Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail,but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive pride and satisfaction from someone elses accomplishment.46.What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?s thinking is still applicable today.learners will become better teachers.intelligence tends to grow with age.thinking improves instruction.47.What do we learn about Bettys Brain?is a character in a popular animation.is a teaching tool under development.is a cutting-edge app in digital games.is a tutor for computer science students.48.How does teaching others benefit student tutors?makes them aware of what they are strong at.motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.helps them learn their academic subjects better.enables them to better understand their teachers.49.What do students do to teach their teachable agents?motivate them to think independently.ask them to design their own questions.encourage them to give prompt feedback.use various ways to explain the materials.50.What is the key factor that eases student tutors learning?sense of responsibility.emotional involvement.learning strategy acquired.teaching experience gained.Passage Two Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.A new batch of young womenmembers of the so-called Millennial(千 禧 的)generationhas been entering the workforce for the past decade.At the starting line of their careers,they are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers had beenor than their young male counterparts are now.But when they look ahead,they see roadblocks to their success.They believe that women are paid less than men for doing the same job.They think its easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for them.And they assume that if and when they have children,it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers.While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago,most believe more change is needed.Among Millennial women,75%say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace,compared with 57%of Millennial men.Even so,relatively few young women(15%)say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts.They want jobs that provide security and flexibility,and they place relatively little importance on high pay.At the same time,however,young working women are less likely than men to aim at top management jobs:34%say theyre not interested in becoming a boss or top manager;only 24%of young men say the same.The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s,when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood.These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults,including 810 Millennials(ages 18-32),conducted Oct.7-27,2013.The survey finds that,in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades,young women view this as a mans worldjust as middle-aged and older women do.do we learn from the first paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?can get ahead only by striving harder.expect to succeed just like Millennial men.are generally quite optimistic about their future.are better educated than their male counterparts.do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?are the target of discrimination.find it satisfactory on the whole.think it needs further improving.find their complaints ignored.do Millennial women value most when coming of age?sense of accomplishment.stability and flexibility.and promotions.derived from work.are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?welfare of their children.narrowing of the gender gap.fulfillment of their dreams in life.balance between work and family.conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?still view this world as one dominated by males.account for half the workforce in the job market.see the world differently from older generations.do better in work than their male counterparts.Passage one Passage two 四级范文听力 第 2 篇 Section C Directions:in this section,you will hear a paasage three times.When the

From Learning English,this is In the News.Nouri al-Maliki said Thursday that he would leave his position as prime minister of Iraq.His decision opened the way for Haider Jawad al-Abadi to take Mr.Malikis place.Former colleagues describe Mr.Abadi as a good speaker and a direct person who is open to the ideas of others.He will need strong qualities.Among the issues facing the new prime minister are extremist militancy,religious division and political disputes.The man now responsible for leading Iraq out of crisis was born in Baghdad.But he has lived much of his life outside the country.For example,he worked in Britain as an advisor in the engineering industry until the United States invaded Iraq in 2003.His family suffered under the rule of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.Saddams government arrested two of Mr.Abadis brothers in 1980 for their association with the Dawa Party and executed them two years later.In 1981,the government arrested a third brother for the same reason.That brother survived.But he spent 10 years in prison.Mr.Abadi also was involved in the Dawa Party while in London.He served as an active party leader in exile.He returned home to enter politics after Saddam was ousted from leadership.As communications minister,rebuilt telephone systems that had been destroyed by war.He also brought the first mobile and Internet communications services into the country.四级范文听力 第 4 篇 Now,the Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.There are many American expressions about insects-like bees,for example.Bees are known as very hard workers.They always appear to be busy,moving around in their homes,or hives.So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house.In fact,you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean.You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away.When we go to see a movie,my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn.Here is an expression about bees that is not used much any more,but we like it anyway.We think it was first used in the nineteen twenties.If something was the best of its kind,you might say it was the bees knees.Now,we admit that we do not know how this expression developed.In fact,we do not even know if bees have knees!If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important,you might say she has a bee in her bonnet.If someone asks you a personal question,you might say that is none of your beeswax.This means none of your business.Speaking of personal questions,there is an expression people sometimes use when their children ask,where do babies come from?Parents who discuss sex and reproduction say this is talking about the birds and the bees.四级范文听力 第 5 篇 One was throwing up;the other had diarrhea.We were all irritable and exhausted,and we hada three-hour trip ahead of us to get back to Florence,where we were staying.Somewhere onthe plains of Perugia we stopped at a little trattoria to have dinner.Embarrassed at ourbedraggled state and our smelly,noisy children,we sheepishly tried to sneak into the diningroom,hoping we could silence the children long enough to order before they threw us out.Theproprietor took one look at us,muttered,“You wait a here,”and went back to the kitchen.We thought perhaps we should leave right then,but before we could decide what to do,hereappeared with his wife and teenage daughter.Beaming as they crossed the dining room,thetwo women threw out their arms,cried,“Oh,babies!”and took the children from our arms,motioning us to sit at a quiet corner table.For the duration of a long and hospitable dinner,they walked the babies back and forth in the back of the dining room,cooing,laughing andsinging them to sleep in gentle,musical Italian.The proprietor even insisted we stay and havean extra glass of wine after the babies were asleep!Any parent who has reached the end of hisor her rope with an infant will appreciate that God had indeed sent us angels that day.四级范文听力 第 6 篇 Section B Directions:In this section,you will hear 3 short passages.At

children are grown up they want to live their own lives,and if you continueto be as interested in them as you were when they were young,you are likely to become aburden to them,unless they are unusually callous.I do not mean that one should be withoutinterest in them,but ones interest should be contemplative and,if possible,philanthropic,butnot unduly emotional.Animals become indifferent to their young as soon as their young canlook after themselves,but human beings,owing to the length of infancy,find this difficult.I thing that a successful old age is easiest for those who have strong impersonal interestsinvolving appropriate activities.It is in
