UNIT 5

Section One Tactics for listening

Part 1 Sport Dictation

Wind In the past we watched the wind closely. (1) Hunters knew that game moved (2) with the winds, that keeping the wind in (3) one's face was essential to a successful (4) stalk. Farmers knew that changing winds brought (5) rain or drought.

Polynesian* sailors could find islands beyond the (6) horizon by lying on their backs in their (7) canoes and feeling the swells* caused by winds (8) rushing onto islands many miles away. Eskimos could (9) navigate in Arctic whiteouts*, when fog or snow (10) obscured all landmarks, by following remembered currents of air over the snow and ice.

Today few people can tell where the wind comes from. We live inside walls, (11) surrounded by chrome and glass, and the winds outside are often (12) gusts of our own making - the wake of (13) rushing automobiles, the tunneling of air down narrow city streets. We get our weather (14) from the news, not from the wind behind us. We hear the wind as house sounds: the (15) rattle of windows, the scratching of branches at a window (16) screen, the moan of a draft under the (17) hall door. These are pop music, not the (18) classical style of the wind,

which is the collision of leaf and blade, the (19) groan of branches under stress, the (20) stirring of ocean waves.

Part 2 Listening for Gist

Eleven years ago, a US Congressman from the state of Michigan introduced legislation asking Congress to study slavery reparations(赔偿款). Since then, the cities of Washington, Detroit, Cleveland, Dallas and now Chicago have called on(请求) Congress to consider such payments. Chicago aldermen(市议会长老议员) voted 46-1 in support of the resolution. Alderman Freddrenna Lyle is the descendant of a slave. She says blacks in the United States are still at a disadvantage(处于不利地位) because of slavery.

\(the department store) Sak's and people follow me through the store. It is because slavery has taught people to treat us differently based on skin color. So it lives and breathes with us. It is with us every single day.\

Alderman Ed Smith says there is not enough money in the universe to compensate blacks for what they have suffered because of slavery, but he says it is time for the country to try.

Directions: Listen to the passage and write down the gist and the key words that help you decide.

1. This passage is about slavery reparations.

2. The key words are slavery reparation, payments, vote, resolution, descendant, disadvantage, skin color, compensate, blacks, suffer.

Section two Listening Comprehension

Part 1 Dialogue

Cheapo Ticket

Terri: Did you see that television series with Michael Palin?

Simon: The one where he went around the world (环游世界)in eighty days? Terri: Yeah.

Simon: Yeah, it was really good. You know, that's something I've always wanted to do.

Terri: Me too. Mind you, you have to put up with a lot of hassles(麻烦事) *.

I mean. I went to Hong Kong last year and it was one long disaster!

Simon: Really?

Terri: Yeah, I was stuck in Moscow for three days! Simon: How on earth did that happen?

Terri: Well, it was like one of those bucket shop(低价位的旅行社)* tickets,

you know, from the back of a magazine. I went down to this little place in central London, in Soho and paid cash.

Simon: But they're usually OK, aren't they?

Terri: That's what I thought at the time. Now I know better! I mean the plane

Simon: Terri: Simon: Terri: Simon: Terri: Simon: Terri:

was delayed two hours leaving Heathrow and we were doing a stopover at Moscow. It was Aeroflot*. So we arrived late at Moscow, in the middle of the night, and we all went into the transit lounge(转机候机室) and after about two hours this official came in and told us we'd missed the connection(误了联运的车、船、飞机) to Hong Kong; We’d have to stay the night in the airport hotel ...

But why?

The late departure from Heathrow apparently. So, what was the hotel like?

Grim* ... more like a prison really. Anyway, the next morning I went

down to reception and asked what was happening. Disaster! They'd checked my ticket or something and decided it wasn't a proper Aeroflot one, only valid for the twice-a-week flight, not the daily flight. So I had to sit there and watch all the other passengers go off to catch the next plane to Hong Kong while I was stuck in this terrible hotel.

Well, a good chance to explore Moscow.

No way! I didn't have a Russian visa, of course, so they wouldn't let me

out. I had to stay there for three days. The pits(条件太恶劣)! No TV, no newspapers, no phone lines and the food was gross. All because I had this cheapo ticket,

I guess you won't be buying cheap tickets again. You're not wrong!
