(如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 1. The speaker thinks that to be a teacher is more difficult than to be the preside
5、nt of the NEA.答案:A听力原文 Thank you for inviting me to share my thoughts with you this evening. As you can imagine, being the president of the NEA is a demanding job and in many ways its an important job. But for 25 years, I had a job that was more demanding and more important. I was a teacher. My firs
6、t year in the classroom, I wasnt a member of my local teachers union in Danbury Connecticut. I didnt see the need, but very quickly, the going got tough. In college, I didnt take a single geography course and my first assignment was to teach, you guess it, Geography. I admit that in my first year, I
7、 was not a very good teacher and I was not the only one. I remember another poorly prepared first-year teacher saying to me, Bob, I find myself spending a lot of time in the bathroom. Its the only place in the school where I know what Im doing. Not only was I totally on my own, I realized that my co
8、lleagues were mostly in the same predicamentprofessionally isolated, powerless, voiceless in the large affairs of the school. So I did the rational thing. I joined the local teachers union and my point is thisdidnt go into teaching to become a union activist. I became a union activist in order to be
9、come a better teacher, in order to advance my profession, in order to give teachers a voice in making their schools more effective places for teaching and learning. Teaching may in fact be the worlds second oldest profession, but as a practical matter, this profession is still very much in its infan
10、cy, especially when compared to fully articulated profession such as law and medicine. We have yet too truly professionalized the craft of teaching. Think about it, people go into teaching for the most noble, unselfish motivations. We have this crazy idea that maybe, just, maybe, they could make a d
11、ifference in the lives of children, in the lives of our students, and so we get up every day and go to work in make-shift classrooms. We reconcile ourselves to inadequate paychecks and to too little respect. In the cafeteria, we deal with insanitary pizza a day. We put up with administrators who tol
12、d us as if we were six-year-olds and six-year-olds who told us as if they were administrators. Teachers deserve the best, but instead, we confront a system, a status quote in public education that utterly fails to support us in our work. By and large, the undergraduate experience of most new teacher
13、s does not adequately prepare them for the shocks and challenges of the real world classroom. The vast majority of most new teachers nationwide receive no mentoring, whatsoever, no induction process worthy of the name and for veteran teachers, the picture is not much brighter. In most school distric
14、ts, professional development is a joke. In-service workshops, Satan gate sessions usually at the end of a long day of teaching are mostly a disservice, so Im not in a least bit surprised that some 50% of teachers leave the profession within 5 years. What surprises me, given this systematic neglect,
15、is that 50% stay. So we have a responsibility to work together collaboratively to transform the experience of young people who are seeking a career as teachers. 2. The speakers first teaching assignment happened to be his major at college.答案:B3. Most teachers are generally consulted in many aspects
16、of school affairs.答案:B4. The speaker thought he did the fight thing to become a union activist.答案:A5. Practically speaking, teaching as a profession is not as developed as law and medicine.答案:A6. The speaker strongly believes that teachers can lead their students into a different life.答案:B7. Teacher
17、s fail to receive due respect from either administrators or their students.答案:A8. There is a big gap between the experience of teachers fresh from college and the realistic teaching requirements.答案:A9. In-service training is very helpful for older teachers.答案:B10. The speaker wants to change the com
18、position of teachers.答案:APart BYou will hear 3 conversations or talks and you must answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D. You will hear each recording only once.

20、原文 M: This year is the 30th anniversary of the Papa Leave which means the fathers arrival to take time off work caring for the baby and shopping for the family. Tonight, on our show, we have invited Mrs. Brown, a specialist in this field, to comment on papa leave in Sweden. Mrs. Brown, how long can
21、fathers stay away from work and if they do take a leave, do they still get paid? W: Actually, Scandinavia has long had generous parental leave. In Sweden, a couple can take up to 13 months off work between them with the stay paying 80% of lost wages up to a ceiling of 3425 dollars a month. A further
22、 90 days can be taken for a token sum. The leave can be used in block or take in batches before the child is 8. It is notionally divided 50/50 but except for 2 months. It can be transferred between the parents. M: Are fathers willing to take papa leave? W: Many Swedish fathers are reluctant to use t
23、heir papa month. Mothers take as much as 85% of all the parental leave. This frustrates feminists who believe that shared responsibility for childcare is a key to equality in the labor market. Sweden has one of the worlds highest rates of female participation in the labor force, but womens wages sti
24、ll lag behind mens and only 2 out of 282 listed companies have female chief executives. M: How does the government look at this? W: The government sympathizes. It is impressed by evidence that fathers who take more responsibility for small children are more likely to stay in contact. Shall the famil
25、y break up? A commission is looking into ways to increase fathers take-up of parental leave. Some people want to scrap the transfer of leave between partners.

28、on unlikely to happen?A.Few people support it.B.State governments oppose it.C.The teachers unions show no interest in the proposals.D.Teachers and schools will resist the reform.答案:C听力原文 The most important issue at the moment is to change the public education system and to upgrade the training teach
29、ers required to have. Some people say that its realistic to think that genuine reform of public education can take place, but I dont think its going to happen easily, Obviously, the teachers unions and education establishment will find every little threat to their monopoly. As weve seen, in the way
30、they go out to vulture proposals in every way they can. I like to remain optimism and eventually, we are going to swing things around. But the Democratic Party is almost completely in locked step with the teachers unions, and now we have to be overcome. To tell you the truth, I think we are leaning
31、towards a model of education in the future that is outside public education. I think we may be heading towards a home-school co-op model, perhaps being to technology and private schools, aided by tuition tax credits and scholarship organizations. They can help poor kids go to these alternative schoo
32、ls. Such developments are outside the public school system and I think in the long term they may be the most hopeful. Already, we have nearly 2 million children been home-schooled. Only 20 years ago, I think there were only a few thousand. In the home-school co-ops, youll have maybe 4 or 5 parents w
33、orking together and maybe 3 or 4 of them will work to support the parent who stay at home as teachers or theyll share the teaching and teach what they know. And when they dont know something like Algebra, they can pull resources entire or bring in specialists or knowledgeable volunteer to teach spec
34、ific subject. 5.

How many students are now studying at home-scho
35、ols?A.Two million.B.A few thousand.C.Twenty thousand.D.Three million.答案:A Questions 17 to 20 are based on the following interview with Bill Welch, an Official from the US Environmental Protection Agency, about the global warming phenomenon.

What can be said about the report by the National Academy of Sciences?A.It is presented in an authoritative tone.B.It is based on an objective analysis.C.It provides an unbiased view on global warming.D.It contains provocative remarks to skeptics.答案:C听力原文 W: Mr. Welch, do you think
37、there is any doubt now that global warming exists? M: Let me put it this way. A few determined skeptics dont accept it, but the over-whelming majority of scientists do. The report the National Academy of Sciences issued was very balanced. They noticed some uncertainties, for example, when and where
38、impacts might be felt and to what degree. But the conclusion was that the earth is warming, This change is induced by human activity and it will get worse. W: Do a few degrees of warming really matter? M: The earth is warmed by 1 degree Fahrenheit in the last 100 years, more in some places, like the
39、 Arctic, where there has been an increase of 4 to 5 degrees since the 1950s. Polar bears are having a terrible time there and may be extinct by the end of this century. Already, we are seeing changes in Alaska, where roads are buckling in places and some major pipelines no longer fit together. Cold
40、water fish that used to be found off the Alaskan Coast are no longer there. W: Can a new energy policy help? M: Energy policy is climate policy since fossil fuels are the main sources of green-house gases, so the question becomes: Where do we get our energy? In the United States, 51% of electricity
41、comes from coal, 20% nuclear, 16.5% natural gas, 7% hydroelectric, 3% oil and the rest, renewables, geothermal, wind, and solar. W: How much power can we realistically expect to derive from renewable sources? M: 10% by 2020 is realistic or with a considered effort, 30% by 2050. Without major breakth
42、roughs, its hard to get beyond a third, because most renewables are intermittent. You need better ways of storing the energy. 8. How much has the world temperature gone up in the past 100 years?A.By 1 degree.B.By 2 degrees.C.By 4 degrees.D.By 5 degrees.答案:A9. What is the largest energy source in the
43、 US today?A.Nuclear energy.B.Coal.C.Oil.D.Natural gas.答案:B10. What hinders the extensive use of renewable energy sources?A.Lack of advanced storing technology.B.A need for joint efforts of scientists.C.A shortage of practical support from the public.D.An unreliable market demand.答案:APart CYou will h
44、ear an interview about Galapagos Adventure Tour in Ecuador. As you listen, you must answer Questions 21 to 30 by writing no more than three words in the space provided on the right. You will hear the interview twice. You now have 1 minute to read Questions 21 to 30. (如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 1. What is t
45、he first job the man applied for right after his university graduation?答案: A naturalist guide听力原文 W: What first led you to the Galapagos Islands? M: I grew up near Charles Darwins house in Kent, and Id been fascinated by the Galapagos since learning about them at school. The significance of Darwins
46、visit there left an impression on me. I intended to travel after university and applied to be a naturalist guide for an Englishman who ran yacht cruises around the islands. After much persistence, I got the job. Back then, the islands were very remote, a 5 hour flight from the mainland of Ecuador. W
47、: Why did you decide to found the company? M: After working for more than a year in the Galapagos, I backpacked the length and breadth of South America, taking photographs and exploring wildness areas. Back in England, I found it difficult to settle into regular work, so ended up as a freelance tour
48、 leader and photographer. In 1985, I returned to the Galapagos to research tourism and decided to establish my own company. W: And what makes your company unique? M: I was one of the pioneers. We used locally owned boats and environmentally sound lodges from the start. We only take small groups and
49、have a low impact philosophy. As well as British leaders, we employ the best local guides. We contribute to local conservation organizations and offer clients membership of the Galapagos Conservation Trust. W: What measures do you take to minimize your tours effect on the environment? M: People thin
50、k that taking tourists to wild regions is destructive, however, its tourism that helps protect the Galapagos and the Amazon, provided its done in an environmentally sound way. Tourists have to adhere to strict national park rules. There are limits on tourist members and licensed operators that have
51、been imposed by the national parks authorities. Tourism is the only sustainable way of generating an income for the inhabitants. The problem is that the local population is growing rapidly and politicians are more worried about votes than limiting immigration. W: What do you think are currently the
52、biggest threats to the Galapagos? M: Illegal fishing and introduced organisms. Fishing is prohibited in the marine reserve, but this is ignored by sea-cucumber, shark-fm and long line industrial fishermen. Local authorities have given in to the fishing lobby and sadly its the thin end of the wedge.
53、Each year they demand more and get it. The other threat is the introduction of non-native plants and animals. Ive noticed over the past 20 years that on the inhabited islands, native plants have been eclipsed by introduced ones. W: How do you think tourism can benefit endangered areas such as the Ga
54、lapagos? M: Tourism is by far the less of all evils, compared to fishing or logging and provided its controlled, it can be a positive force. Every tourist who goes there is a potential ambassador for conservation and contributes directly and indirectly to preservation. Our tour leaders make passenge
55、rs aware of the responsibilities of visiting the islands, and make sure that they take home a sense of wonder of the place. We hope that many will continue to support our conservation partners. W: What type of people sign up for your expeditions? Do you have any typical client? M: We dont really cal
56、l them expeditions, more like soft adventures. Generally, on our escorted trips, clients are mature, middle-aged to retire. They like nature, botany, bird-watching and local culture. Our trips can attract folk from all walks of life, but usually those who respect nature. The accessibility of once re
57、mote places has meant that now, there is a class of tourists who just wants to tick places off on a list. Id rather they go elsewhere. W: How do you select your trips? M: Biodiversity is the key. Our most popular trip goes to the jungle of the Amazon headwaters, the cloud forest and high Andes and then finishes with a Galapagos cruise. In a couple of weeks, we can see various kinds of birdsnot mention orchids, butterflies and the odd mammal and thats before we even get to the Galapagos. W: So do you have any plans t
