We can see that 52 kg of apples were sold, 40 kg of oranges were sold, and 8 kg of star fruit were sold.) So, when listening, we need to be able to collect facts and
2、 figures, which are often presented in the form of charts and graphs. You are expected to learn some different types of graphs and charts that use bars, lines or circles to show information. .Read the guidelines in Skills building 1 on Page 42. Focus on how to understand different kinds of charts an
3、d graphs.Step 1: collecting information1. Pair work: Have a discussion with your partner: If you want to attend a series of lectures about the ways people watch or listen to the news, what should you pay special attention to? 2. Listen to the first speech and take notes in the space.Tapescript First
4、 speaker: We are here today to discuss the ways that people get their news. There are several main sources to which most people turn when they want to know what is happening in their local community, or around the world. They are newspapers, television (both local and national), radio and more recen
5、tly, the Internet.The main point I would like to make is that there are different types of news, and that some are more easily found from certain sources. As examples, I will discuss sports results, the weather, politics and local, national and international current affairs. Sports results do not ch
6、ange once the event is over. Fans do not often need or want to see pictures of the games; they simply want to know the scores. For this type of news, radio and newspapers are the most suitable. The weather, however, is something which changes all the times. Therefore, a place to get news which can b
7、e updated easily, like radio or the Internet, is the best choice. Politics involves many details, and people often want to understand them at their own speed. For this reason, places to get news that involve reading may be the bestnewspapers and the Internet. Current affairs can be covered in many w
8、ays, and what people choose often has to do with what type of news they want. For example, those who only want to know the top or most important stories will probably choose to watch television news programmes as they only include the most important news. Some people prefer a wider range of views, a
9、nd would probably prefer the Internet or a newspaper. Other people who drive or travel long distances to work often dont have the time in the morning or evening to watch television or read a paper. They like to listen to radio news programmes while they travel to and from their offices. AnswersA (1)

Now, please go over the instructions in Part B and read the three sentences. Try
11、to guess what the speech that you are going to listen to is about and what words will be used to complete these sentences before you listen to the recording. TapescriptFinal speaker: As the final speaker here today, I would like to share with you some of the conclusions of our research. We wanted to
12、 know if the Internet would become the most popular source of news for people. We have found that although the Internet has become increasingly popular, the number of people who get news from the Internet compared to the radio or television is still small. While the Internet is a popular tool, it is
13、 still not as easily accessible as newspapers, television and the radio are, and due to the amount of uncontrolled information on the Internet, people do not always trust the news they find online. Please check the answers. AnswersB 1 accessible 2 uncontrolled 3 trust 4. Please read the instructions
14、 of Part C. Look at the bar chart and pay special attention to the legend, the side (y-axis) and the bottom (x-axis). 5. Please look at the pie chart and read the question and the legend and try to finish the remaining questions. AnswersC 1 Local TV. 2 The Internet. 3 4%. 4 Emergency. 5 Opinions, we
15、ather and sports results. 6 National TV. 7 The Internet. 6. Discussion in groups of four. Why 50 per cent of people trust the news sources from national TV and local TV, while only 7 per cent of people trust the news on the Internet. Skills building 2: forming more detailed questions 1.

Read the guidelines and the three parts on page 44 and try to understand how to get more detailed information. Step 2: asking more detailed question

Do you know why? What do you think are the problems with newspapers? A: I think it

D 由文章第一句话My husband and I were cleaning windows together yesterday.可知，“我们”有双吊钩的“窗户”，这样的“窗户”能向前推并翻转。2. C 第一段提到：昨天“我”和丈夫一起擦窗子。由此可知是便于“我们”“擦洗”窗户的里面和外面。故clean“把弄干净”符合语境。3. A
50、由文章第一段可知，夫妻二人正在擦洗窗户，此处指的应该是“我”的丈夫正在“洗”一扇窗户。故wash“冲，洗”符合语境。4. B 由语境可知应该是“我们”的 “房子”要出售。5. A 由前面的and it popped out of its frame!可知，窗子坏了。故此处应该表示“我们”最不需要的事情就是东西“坏了”，break“打破，弄坏”符合语境。6. C 由下文中的, using a few less than pleasant words (I am sorry to say).可知，丈夫感到那么的不安（worried）。7. D 由上文中提到的it popped out of its
51、 frame!可知，丈夫用尽全力使窗户恢复原样。get back意为“恢复”符合语境。8. C 由下文中的and he would try to fix it with me.可知，丈夫尽力“安装”窗户。9. A 由倒数第二段中的And my son fixing it with me可知答案。10. B 由下文中的I called my husband in to see!可知，儿子告诉他的父亲走开一会儿。walk away“走开”符合语境。11. D 由前面的“clearly”及后面的语境可知应该用“easily”合适。12. A 由最后一段第一句话Calm is good.可知当你“镇定
52、”的时候，看事情更清晰，做事情更容易。13. C 由上一段中的After twenty minutes he still could not get it可知丈夫二十分钟后仍没能把窗户安装好。再由上文中的He and I fixed the window in three minutes!可知，他无法“相信”！14. D 由上下文语境可知是转折关系。故选but。15. A 由上下文语境可知，应该是儿子“让”自己的父亲走开一会儿。16. B 儿了帮助父亲摆脱了焦虑。freefrom意为“使摆脱”符合语境。keepfrom阻止某人；protectfrom保护免受；savefrom从挽救。 17. C 由本段第一句知，“我”知道这并不真的是一份礼物，但是在某一方面，它又是。故推知，“我”的儿子和“我”一起安装窗户，对“我”而言是一份“礼物”。18. D 在母亲眼中的儿子。故用“in ones eyes”。其他三项均不符合语境。19. D 由下文and maybe evenstressful times且and前后是并列意思，可知应选D。20. B 带着清醒的头脑返回，事情通常将产生更好的结果。- 10 - 版权所有高考资源网
