2016年英语专业四级听力 对话2 CONVERSATION TWO 对话2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two. 请根据对话2回答第6题到第10题。 It says a growing number of students are making a major hole from the minute they enter the real world because they are already, some of them, more than 100, 000 dollars in debt. With us now is Mark Spencer, he is the senior financial analyst for SBC Bank. Welcome to you. 据说越来越多的学生一进入社会就开始还债了，因为有些学生早就欠下了十几万美元。今天我们请到了SBC银行的高级金融分析师，马克·斯宾塞。欢迎你。 Thank you. Nice to be with you. 谢谢，很高兴来到这里。 Now I guess there are two kinds of debts: good debt and bad debt. Where does this go? 债务分两种：良性债务和不良债务。学生债务属于哪一种? Well,student loan debt is traditionally considered good debt, but the problem for many students and their families is that the cost of colleges has been going up at 6 to 8% a year, far faster than the income, far faster than the standard of living. That means debt's taking on a bigger and bigger role in financing education. 嗯，学生债务一般属于良性债务。不过，让许多学生及其家庭发愁的是，大学学费每年上涨6%到8%，远远超过收入增长速度和生活水平提高的速度。这意味着借贷在提供教育费用中发挥着越来越重要的作用。 How much debt is too much debt for, for one student? 那么对于一个学生来说，过多的债务具体是多少？ Well,one guideline is that you look at the first year's salary in your field after graduation, and use that as a barometer, but even then... 嗯，有这样一个方法，统计一下一个行业里应届生的工资，用它作参照，不过即使.…… Is that right? 这个方法有效吗？ Well,you are talking big payments even in that instance, for example, 30, 000 dollars worth of debt. If you are gonna repay that over 10 years, you are talking more than 300 dollars a month, in payments every month for 10 years. 这种情况下涉及的都是大笔债务的偿还，比如，3万美元的债务。如果你要在十年内还完，每个月就要还300多美元，每个月都还，一共还10年。 But there're surely more than one way to get a loan for college. There are government programs. There are so many kinds of grants. 但是获得大学费用贷款肯定还有其他方法。比如政府项目。还有很多种补助金。 What's,what's the best advice for people who are looking for these loans to try to keep themselves from going under. 那么对于那些正在为这些贷款奔走的人，如何防止自己生活负担过重，有什么建议吗？ I understand that loans are just one way of college finance Take advantage of the other opportunities. Things like a college savings plan, let, let you save on a tax advantage basis. So you can put money away in these accounts and withdraw tax-free to pay for that education. .我认为这些贷款只是支付大学费用的一种方式。建议利用好其他机会。比如加入学费储蓄计划，还可以获得有利税率。你可以把钱存在这些账户里，取出的时候就不用交税，直接拿去交学费。 So it's important to start early and that really reduces that reliance on debt later. 所以早做准备很重要，这样后来可以少借贷。 Another thing, leave no stone unturned, looking at grants, scholarships, even on-campus jobs. I mean every dollar you get that way is seen as another dollar you don't have to borrow later. 还有，不要怕麻烦，积极搜集补助金，奖学金或者校内兼职的信息。这样你得到一美元，就少借一美元。 The kinds of jobs that so many students, the fresh off students, like to go into,er, charity stuff, volunteer work. 很多学生，尤其是刚毕业的学生，喜欢去做慈善团体或者志愿活动的工作。 This debt is eliminating a lot of that, isn't it? 现在由于债务，去做这些工作的毕业生少了很多，对吧？ I think that's the social cost. Really, I mean, you know, when you consider that,you know, people may pass up a rewarding career in charitable work, or non-profit organization because they have to get a higher salary someplace else to pay off that debt. 我认为这是社会应该负担的成本。真的，我是说，你想想，很多人会错过慈善工作或者非盈利组织中的非常有意义的工作，只是因为他们要选择其他单位的高工资的工作来还债。 Yeah,that's for sure. Mark Spencer, senior financial analyst from SBC Bank. Mark,good you could be here. 对，那是自然。马克·斯宾塞，SOC银行的高级金融分析师。马克，感谢您来到我们这个节目。 Thank you. 谢谢。 Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two. 请根据对话2回答第6题到第10题。 Question 6.

What is the possible social cost of a college loan? 第10题大学贷款可能会带来什么样的社会成本？

Zorro by Sally M. Stockton 词汇提示 1.Avengers 复仇者 原文 Chapter Seven: The Avengers In the evening, the magistrate and his friends are in the tavern. They are laughing about the old friar. "Why are you laughing?" asks a mysterious voice. They look at the door of the tavern and see Zorro. He has a pistol in one hand and a sword in the other. "Magistrate! I am here to punish you," says Zorro. "Old Friar Felipe is not a thief and you know it." "I am an important magistrate. I don't like friars because they are your friends,Zorro." Zorro gives a whip to the magistrate's friend and says, "Now whip this corrupt magistrate 15 times." "But I cannot do this," says the friend. "Whip him or I whip you!" says Zorro. The friend whips the magistrate. After the punishment, the magistrate falls to the ground. "This is how I punish dishonest people," says Zorro. The next day everyone talks about the magistrate's punishment. A group of young men want to help Captain Ramon arrest Zorro. They look for him in the hills and in the valleys. In the evening, they go to the Vega hacienda. When Don Alejandro sees them, he says, "Why are you all here?" "We are looking for Zorro. We want to capture the bandit and get the reward. " At 9 p.m., Don Diego says, "Please excuse me. I am tired and I am going to bed." "Look,Diego, these young men are not tired. It's only 9 p.m. You are young but you are always tired," says Don Alejandro. "Yes,father, you are right. Good night, everyone!" The others eat, drink and sing. At midnight, a masked man appears at the door. "Look,it is Zorro!" says one of the young men. "Zorro,the bandit," they all say. "Yes,I am Zorro, but I am not a bandit. I have principles and I fight for them. In California,we have corrupt political men, cruel magistrates and dishonest people. I want to change this. I fight to help the poor, the natives and the friars. What are your principles?" "We want to help the poor, the natives and the friars too," says one young man. "Our principles are the same," says another. "Come with me and we can fight together! We can make California a better place to live," says Zorro. "But who are you? Where do you live?" asks a young man. "I can't tell you. It's a secret," says Zorro. The young men talk together. "Yes, we want to fight with you. We want justice in California. Our new name is The Avengers!" says a young man. "Yes, we are The Avengers," they all say. "Good! We now fight together!" says Zorro and leaves. 翻译 第七章：复仇者联盟 晚上，治安官和他的朋友们在酒馆里。 他们在嘲笑那个老修士。 “你为什么笑？”一个神秘的声音问道。 他们看着酒馆的门，看到佐罗。 他一手拿着手枪，一手拿着剑。 “长官!我在这里惩罚你，”佐罗说。“老费利佩修士不是贼，你知道的。” “我是一个重要的地方法官。我不喜欢修士，因为他们是你的朋友，佐罗。” 佐罗把鞭子递给治安官的朋友说：“现在鞭打这个腐败的治安官15次。” “但我不能这样做，”朋友说。 “要么鞭打他，要么我鞭打你！”佐罗说。 朋友鞭打治安法官。 判罚结束后，裁判官倒地。 “这就是我惩罚不诚实的人的方式，”佐罗说。 第二天，每个人都在谈论治安官的惩罚。 一群年轻人想帮助拉蒙队长逮捕佐罗。 他们在山上和山谷里寻找他。 晚上，他们去维加庄园。 当唐·亚历杭德罗看到他们时，他说：“你们为什么都在这里？” “我们正在寻找佐罗。我们想抓住这个强盗，拿到赏金。” 晚上9点，唐·迭戈说：“请原谅。我累了，我要去睡觉了。” “看，迭戈，这些年轻人一点也不累。现在才晚上9点。你很年轻，但你总是很累，”唐·亚历杭德罗说。 “是的，父亲，你说得对。大家晚安！” 其他人又吃又喝又唱歌。 午夜时分，一个蒙面人出现在门口。 “看，这是佐罗！”其中一个年轻人说。 “佐罗，强盗，”他们都说。 “是的，我是佐罗，但我不是强盗。我有原则，我为之奋斗。在加州，我们有腐败的政客，残酷的地方法官和不诚实的人。我想改变这一点。我为帮助穷人，当地人和修士而战。你的原则是什么？” “我们想帮助穷人，当地人和修士，”一个年轻人说。 “我们的原则是一样的，”另一个人说。 “跟我来，我们可以一起战斗！”我们可以让加州成为一个更好的居住地，”佐罗说。 “你是谁？”你住在哪里？”一个年轻人问。 “我不能告诉你。这是一个秘密，”佐罗说。 年轻人在一起聊天。“是的，我们想和你一起战斗。我们要在加州伸张正义。我们的新名字是复仇者联盟！”一个年轻人说。 “是的，我们是复仇者联盟，”他们都说。 “好!我们现在一起战斗！”佐罗说着离开了。

2016年英语专业四级听力 演讲 What Is Grit? 什么是决心？ Good afternoon, everyone. 大家下午好。 Today, I would like to talk about my research project concerning the key to success. 今天我想谈一谈我的研究项目，主题是成功的关键。 I would like to start my topic with my own story. 首先，我想讲讲我自己的故事。 When I was 27 years old, I left for a demanding job: 27岁的时候，我去做了一份非常有挑战性的工作： teaching seventh graders math in the New York City public schools. 去纽约的公立学校教七年级数学。 And like any teacher, I made quizzes and tests. 像其他老师一样，我设计了课堂测验和考试， I gave out homework assignments. 也会布置家庭作业， When the work came back, I calculated grades. 作业交上来，我也会给出分数。 What struck me was that IQ was not the only difference between my best and my worst students. 我吃惊地发现，智商并不是好学生和差学生的唯一区别。 Some of my strongest performers did not have super IQ scores. 有些表现很好的学生智商并没有高出常人。 Some of my smartest kids weren't doing so well. 有些非常聪明的孩子表现不是特别好。 Then I felt very interested in knowing the reason, 因此我非常想弄明白， why the students' math performance is not that closely related to their lQ scores. 为什么学生在数学上的变现并没有跟智商值密切相关呢？ I started studying kids and adults in all kinds of challenging settings, 我开始研究在各种极具挑战性的情境下，儿童和成年人的表现。 and in every study my question was, who is successful here and why? 在研究中，我会提出这样的问题：这里谁是成功的人？为什么？ My research team and I went to West Point Military Academy. 我和我的实验团队去了西点军校。 We tried to predict which students would stay in military training and which would drop out. 我们预测了哪些学生会完成军训，哪些会掉队。 We went to the National Spelling Contest, 我们去了全国拼字比赛， and tried to predict which children would advance furthest in competition. 预测哪些孩子会最终夺冠。 We worked with private companies, asking, which of these salespeople is going to keep their jobs? 我们到过一些企业，问他们哪些销售人员会被留任， And who's going to earn the most money? 谁赚的最多。 We went to many places, and finally one characteristic emerged as a significant predictor of success. 我们去了很多地方，最后发现一个能预测成功的重要特点。 And it wasn't social intelligence. 不是社会智能。 It wasn't good looks, physical health, and it wasn't IQ. 不是姣好的长相，不是健康的身体，也不是智商。 It was grit. 是决心。 What is grit? 决心是什么？ Well,grit is passion and perseverance for very long-term goals. 嗯，决心是为达成长期目标而努力的热情与恒心。 Grit is sticking with your future, day in, day out, not just for the week, not justfor the month, 决心是不放弃对未来的憧憬，日复一日，不是一周，不是一个月， but for years, and working really hard to make future a reality. 而是年年如此，踏实努力把对未来的憧憬变成现实。 Grit is living your life like it's a marathon, not a sprint. 决心是把生活过成马拉松，而不是短跑。 A few years ago, I started studying grit in the Chicago public schools. 几年前，我开始在芝加哥的公立学校研究决心。 I asked thousands of high school juniors to take grit questionnaires, 我做了关于决心的调查问卷调查了几干名高三学生， and then waited around more than a year to see who would graduate. 又等了一年多看看谁会毕业。 It turned out that grittier kids were significantly more likely to graduate, 最后发现，比较有决心的孩子们毕业的可能性更大， even when I matched them on every characteristic I could measure, 即使比对我能测定的各种特点， things like family income, test scores and so on. 如家庭收入，考试成绩等，也是如此。 To me, the most shocking thing about grit is how little we know, 最让我吃惊的是，我们对决心知之甚少， how little science knows, about building it. 科学也对如何增强信心记载甚少。 Everyday, parents and teachers ask me, 父母们和老师们每天都会问我， "How do I build grit in kids? " 怎样让孩子们更有决心呢？ How do I keep them motivated for the long run? " 我怎么做才能让他们保持长久的动力呢？” Our data shows very clearly that there are many talented individuals, 我们的数据清楚地显示，有许多有天赋的人， who simply do not follow through on their commitment. 根本没办法坚持做好该做的事。 In fact, in our data, grit is usually unrelated to measures of talent. 数据还显示，决心通常和天赋的程度没什么关系。 So far, the best idea I've heard about building grit in kids is something called"growth mindset." 迄今为止，我所听过的增强孩子们决心的最佳方法叫作“成长心态”。 Growth mindset is the belief that the ability to learn is not fixed, that it can change with your effort. 成长心态认为，学习能力并不固定，通过努力可以改变。 Kids with grit are much more likely to persevere when they fail, 有决心的孩子遇到失败却要坚持下去的可能性更大， because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition. 因为他们不相信自己会永远失败。 So growth mindset is a great idea for building grit. 所以成长心态是增强决心的好办法。 But we need more.不过这还不够。 And that's where I'm going to end my talk, because that's where we are. 讲完这一点我的讲话就要结束了，因为我们正面对的就是这件事。 That's the work that stands before us. 那就是在我们面前的工作。 We have to be willing to fail, to be wrong, to start over again with lessons learned. 我们必须愿意失败，愿意犯错，愿意得到失败的教训后再重新开始。 As a conclusion, we need to be gritty about getting our kids grittier. 最后，我们也要坚定决心，一定会把孩子们培养得更有决心的。 Next time, I would like to share with you my experience in building up students'grit. 下次我想跟大家分享我增强学生决心的经历。

They say he's stolen from the Queen of England, the King of France and the King of Spain." “那是派克船长，世界上最伟大的海盗。他们说他曾从英国女王、法国国王和西班牙国王那里偷盗过。” Captain Pike walked slowly around the tables looking closely at each man with his cold, grey eye. 派克船长慢慢地绕着桌子走，用他冰冷的灰色眼睛仔细地打量着每个人。 He had a very serious and cold way of talking. 他说话很严肃，很冷淡。 "I'm looking for sailors and I need the best there are around." “我在找水手，我需要周围最好的。” A big man in a white and blue shirt with a blue scarf around his neck stood up in front of Captain Pike. 一个穿着白色和蓝色衬衫、脖子上围着蓝色围巾的大个子男人站在派克船长面前。 "You won't find anyone stronger than I am, Captain. Tell me where to put my name and I'm ready to sail." “船长，你找不到比我更强壮的人了。告诉我把我的名字放在哪里，我准备好启航了。” Captain Pike looked into the man's eyes. 派克船长看着那人的眼睛。 His eyes were blue like the sea. 他的眼睛像大海一样蓝。 Captain Pike's eye became narrower as he talked to the man. 派克船长跟那人说话时，眼睛眯了起来。 "I'm sailing to the Bermuda Triangle to get Blackbeard's treasure." “我要去百慕大三角洲拿黑胡子的宝藏。” The man in front of him slowly sat down. 他前面的人慢慢地坐了下来。 Others began to whisper. 其他人开始窃窃私语。 The barman said to the sailor: 酒保对水手说： "Nobody has ever found Blackbeard's treasure. They say it was lost somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle. All those who have tried to find it have never returned." “从来没有人找到过黑胡子的宝藏。他们说它在百慕大三角的某个地方丢失了。所有试图找到它的人都再也没有回来。” Captain Pike continued to walk among the men. 派克船长继续在人群中行走。 He knew it would be difficult to find men to go with him, so he talked about the treasure to excite them. 他知道很难找到人和他一起去，所以他谈到了宝藏来激发他们的兴趣。 "They say there are diamonds as big as your nose; rubies, gold, pearls. Blackbeard was a pirate like us. It's in our blood. I'm sure he would want other pirates to have it." “他们说有和你鼻子一样大的钻石；红宝石、黄金、珍珠。黑胡子和我们一样是海盗。这是我们的血液。我相信他会希望其他海盗拥有它。” Suddenly a loud scream came from a dark corner near the stairs. 突然，楼梯附近的一个黑暗角落里传来一声尖叫。 A very old man with thin white hair and a shining gold tooth walked out from the darkness to talk to the men. 一位白发稀疏、金牙闪闪发光的老人从黑暗中走出来，与那些人交谈。 A large white bird sat on his shoulder. 一只白色的大鸟坐在他的肩上。 "You don't know what you're saying! That treasure must always stay with Blackbeard's ghost, on his ship. It is his punishment for hurting the natives of the islands. Go to Rum Island. The natives there will tell you the story." “你不知道自己在说什么！那宝藏必须永远留在黑胡子的鬼魂身边，在他的船上。这是他伤害岛上原住民的惩罚。去拉姆岛。那里的原住民会告诉你这个故事的。” Captain Pike looked down at the man, angry because he was trying to start trouble. 派克船长低头看着那个人，很生气，因为他想制造麻烦。 He wanted to kill the man with his knife, but instead he reached into his coat and took a bag full of gold coins out of his pocket. 他想用刀杀了那个人，但他却把手伸进外套，从口袋里掏出一袋金币。 He put it on one of the tables next to along white piece of paper he had. 他把它放在旁边的一张桌子上，旁边是一张白色的纸。 "I've got one hundred gold coins here. I'll give one to every man that puts his name on this piece of paper and sails with me tomorrow, at midnight." “我这里有一百枚金币。我会给每个在这张纸上写上自己名字的人一枚，明天午夜和我一起航行。” The men forgot what the old man said when they saw the gold coins. 那些人看到金币时忘记了老人说的话。 They ran to sign their names. 他们跑去签名。 Captain Pike stared at the old man once more. 派克船长又盯着老人看了一眼。 The old man looked at him too, and left the bar with his bird. 老人也看着他，带着他的鸟离开了酒吧。 Captain Pike yelled to the bartender: 派克船长对酒保喊道： "Bartender! Drinks for everyone! We sail tomorrow." “酒保！我请大家喝！我们明天启航。”

2015年英语专业四级听力 对话2 Hello Linda. 你好，琳达。 Hello Rob. 你好，罗伯。 Happy New Year to you, Linda. The festive season is over — so, did all that holiday shopping break the bank? 新年快乐，美好的节日假期就要结束了，那么，假期疯狂的购物是不是快让你倾家荡产了？ You mean, did I spend too much money? Well, yes I did. 你是想问我，假期是不是花了一大笔钱吧？嗯，是花了很多。 Well,do you know about showrooming? 你知不知道什么是“展厅销售”吗？ Yes,customers visit shops to see and test products before buying them online. 知道，就是顾客们到实体店体验产品，然后在网上购买。 Yeah,you see technology is changing the way we shop and it could spell disaster- or be very bad for - the high street. 对，先进的科学技术正在逐渐改变我们的购物方式，这对商业街上的实体店来说可能是一场大的灾难 The high street, you mean those everyday shops that we normally see in our town centers?Things like shoe shops, news agents, supermarkets. 商业街，你是指市中心的那些店铺吗？比如说鞋子专卖店，报刊亭，超市。 Yes,the high street is competing with the internet. I buy things like CDs,electrical goods and food online. 是的，商业街正在跟互联网竞争。比如唱片，电子产品和食物之类的东西，我会选择在网上购买。 Ah,but have you ever 'showroomed' before, Rob? 啊，你尝试过“实体店看货、网上购买”这种购物方式吗? Yes,I show roomed and then bought a camera at a knock-down price online. I know I'm not alone in doing this though.Research found 24% of people showroomed while Christmas shopping last year. 是的，我在实体店看好一款相机，然后低价从网上购买的。这样做的人肯定不止我一个。研究发现，去年圣诞节购物时，24%的人选择这种购物方式。 And a market research company also found one third of consumers around the world said they used this type of shopping. 市场调研公司还发现全球三分之一的消费者都会选择这种方式购物。 Now,although people do it to try and save money, there are other reasons for this,too. 人们之所以会选择这样的购物方式，除省钱外，还有其他的理由。 What are they? 什么理由？ Three reasons for people to showroom: They are short on time, short on money, and they want reassurance. 理由有三个：没有充裕的时间，没有足够的资金，还有就是想要寻求安慰。 Yes,reassurance — so they want to know what the product really looks like and they want to be confident they are buying the right thing. 是的，安慰——其实他们就是想看看真正的实物如何，然后从买到的“物超所值”的商品中提升自信。 I think that's true, I like to inspect what I am buying.If you go to a shop and look at the real thing, you get a much better idea of what it's like - but I also want a bargain. 去实体商店的话，你对商品的了解会更加全面——但我还是想跟商家讨价还价。说的没错，我就是喜欢检查下自己买的东西。 We could say we use the internet to shop around. 互联网购物可以让我们逐店选购，货比三家。 That's a good phrase, meaning to look around for the best deal. Using a smartphone is an increasingly popular way to do this. 说的好，也就是说我们可以选到最适合的商品。现在越来越多的人喜欢拿着智能手机网购商品。 Smartphones are also useful for getting product reviews — these are the kind of opinions or comments about the product. 还可以用智能手机浏览商品的评论——这些评论是消费者对于商品的意见或看法。 Yes,and you can also use smartphones to scan the bar codes on the product and compare prices that way. 没错，智能手机还可以扫描商品的二维码，还可以对比价格。 So it seems browsing - that's looking at things to buy but not actually purchasing something in store —is set to increase. Does this mean the death of the high street? 现在到实体店只浏览不消费的现象越来越严重。这是不是意味着实体店将要关门大吉？ I think it will have to adapt or make changes. It could try to compete on price more or offer more incentives when you are in the shop. 我觉得实体店的商家应该适应市场变化或者寻求一些改变。可以在价格上再优惠一些或者搞一些活动刺激店里的顾客的购买欲。 Incentives—these are things to encourage you to buy the product there and then. Perhaps a discount voucher or a free gift? 所谓刺激消费——是指说服顾客当场买下商品的一系列措施。可能是张折扣券或者一份免费的小礼物？ Oh,yes. 哦，是的。
