[Tone]
M: Good morning, Can I help you?
W: Yes, good morning, I've just got a few questions, I wonder if you can help me sort them out. M: I'll see what I can do.
W: Can you tell me when Sudeley Castle, Sudeley? We want to go there this morning.
M: Yes,of course. Sudeley Castle, Sudeley, I think it's open all day, someone asked me this a week or so ago. Here we are, I've got the guide, yes, it's open from 11 in the morning until 5 in the afternoon, well not quite all day, but morning and afternoon.
W: Eleven to five, OK, that's great. Er, can you tell me how much it costs to get in?
M: Yes, it costs ￡4.50 fot adults and ￡3.00 for children. It sounds a bit expensive but there's a lot to do there. I think it's worth the money.
W: OK, now another question: what exactly is Snowshill Manor? What can you see there?
M: Oh, it's a museum, an absolutely fascinating collection of all sorts of things, like clocks and cabinets, and all kinds of swords and masks.
W: Masks? Well, the kids will like them. Do you pay to get into this museum?
M: Yes, you do, I think it's about three pounds fifty.
W: Is it open this time of year?
M: Yes, it's open until the end of September, so there are a few weeks before it closes.
W: Right, we'll try it. Thank you very much for the information.
M: Enjoy your visit. Good-bye.
[Pause 00'30”]
W: Now you will hear the recording again.
[The recording is repeated.]
[Pause 00'20“]

M: Part B
Directions:
You will hear a radio weather forecast. For questiong 6-10, complete the sentences and answer the question while you listen. Use not more than 3 words for each answer. You will hear the recording twice. You now have 25 seconds to read the sentences and the question below.
[Pause 00'25”]
[Tone]
W: Hello. It's been another warm and fine day for most of us. Temperatures in south-east England reached twenty-six degrees Centigrade by mid-afternoon, and Brighton had fifteen hours of lovely sunshine. But already the weather is beginning to change. I'm afraid, and during the night showers will slowly move in from the Atlantic to reach south-west England by early morning.
The rest of the country will have a very mild, dry night with minimum temperatures no lower than fifteen degrees in the south, a little cooler--eleven degrees or so--in the north. Any remaining showers in northwest Scotland will pass quickly, to leave a mild, dry night there too.
And now, let's moveon to the weather forecast for Friday and the weekend. Well, southern Europe will once again get the best of the weekend weather, and if your holiday starts this weekend, then southern Spain is the place to go, with temperatures of thirty-four degrees along the Mediterranean coast. At the eastern end of the Med, too, you can expect uninterrupted sunshine and temperatures of up to thirty-two degrees Centigrade in Greece and south-east Italy, but furthernorth the weather's not so settled. Much of France, Belgium and the Netherlands will be cloudy with occasional rain and maximum temperatures will be around twenty-two degrees--very disappointing for this time of the year.
Scotland and Northern Ireland will have heavy rain for much of the weekend and temperatures will drop to a cool seventeen degrees. Across most of England the weather will be cloudy but mainly dry with sunny periods. And when the sun does come out temperatures could rise to a maximum of twenty-three degrees…[fade out]
[Pause 00'50“]
M: Now you will hear the recording again.
[The recording is repeated.]
[Pause 00'30”]
W: That is the end of Part B.
W: Part C
Directions:
You will hear three pieces of recorded material. Before listening to each one, you will have time to read the questions related to it. While listening, answer each question by choosing A, B, C or D. After listening, you will have time to check your answers. You will hear each piece once only.
Questions 11-13 are based on the following talk introducing Emily Dickinson, a well-known American poet. You now have 15 seconds to read questions 11-13.
[Pause 00'15“]
[Tone]
M: Emily Dickinson if one of the greatest American poets. She was born in a typical New England village in Massachusetts on December 10, 1830. She was the second child of the family. She died in the same house fifty-six years later. During her life time she never left her native land. She left her home state only once. She left her village very few times. And after 1872 she rarely left her house and yard. In the last years of her life she retreated to a smaller and circle of family and friends. In those later years she dressed in white, avoided strangers, and communicated chiefly through notes and poems even with intimates. The doctor who attended her illness was allowed to ”examine“ her in another room, seeing her walk by an opened door. She was thought of as a ”strange“ figure in her home village. When she died on May 15, 1886, she was unknown to the rest of the world. Only seven of her poems had appeared in print.
But to think Emily Dickinson only as a strange figure is a serious mistake. She lived simply and deliberately. She faced the essential facts of life. According to Henry James, a famous American novelist, she was one of those on whom nothing was lost. Only by thus living could Dickinson manage both to fulfill her obligations as a daughter, a sister, and a housekeeper and to write on the average one poem a day.
She read only a few books but knew them deeply. Her poems are simple but remarkably rich. Not until 1950s was she recognized as one of the greatest American poets.
W: You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Questions 11-13.
[Pause 00'30”]
M: Questions 14-16 are based on the following radio program. You now have 15 seconds to read questions 14-16.
[Pause 00'15“]
[Tone]
W: Good evening. You are listening to Pop World of BCD International. I'm Susan Welch. Today, we are going to hear several current hits of the world's most popular artists.
Well, first, I would like to say a few words to my dear listeners who are not very familiar with this program.
Since many people want to listen to and understand pop songs, radio producers at BCD International have made hundreds of programs over the years. We not only have access to the stars of the music world, but we also have a vast library of ”golden oldie“ classics, as well as the ”latest releases“.
For those of you who like a bit of background with your favorite music--there's The History of Pop or The Road to Music. These two series bring you the language of pop music and information about the periods and the artists.
If you want to hear from the artists themselves, there's a new series called About the Big Hits. This is based on interviews with popular singers and songwriters. They talk to us about the meaning and ideas behind their songs.
If you want to understand the words to the big music hits, Pop Words is the program for you. After all, it's hard enough for native English speskers to understand most pop songs - so, if English isn't your first language, you shouldn't be surprised if the words to many songs leave you in the dark. It was to address exactly this problem that BCD International started broadcasting Pop Words just over 23 years ago… [fade out]
M: You now have 30 seconds to check your answers to Questions 14-16.
[Pause 00'30”]
W: Questions 17-20 are based on a conversation between Dr. Francis and Li Ming about Li Ming's planned visit to Cambridge. You now have 20 seconds to read questions 17-20.
[Pause 00'20“]
[Tone]
[Knocks on the door]
M: Oh, hello, Li Ming. Come on in, and how've you been keeping recently?
W: Quite all right, thanks, Dr. Francis. How's your project going?
M: Very smoothly, I should say. I'm playing a consultancy role, really. I've only been here in China a month, but I'm already on very good terms with my colleagues in the Department of Computer Science. Well, I'm happy that you could come. Do sit down. please.
W: Dr. Francis, do you know I've got a chance to go to Cambridge in August? I wonder if you could tell me something about Britain.
M: Certainly. Well, I was actually brought up in Scotland. Erm, in fact, I've never been to Cambridge. But well, … yes, I'm sure I can give you some useful tips. Now, what do you want to know, Li Ming?
W: Things like weather. What's the usual temperature there?
M: Mmm, the temperature in Scotland is 22, or 23 degrees Centigrade, on average, I think. But Cambridge would be warmer, around 25, I would guess, because it's down south.
W: Oh, that's nice. Do you know it is 34 here? Last year it reached 39. By the way, Where do you think I should stay?
M: Oh,that's important. You can, er, … I suppose, stay in the college-owned flats, which are often near where you have your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly be convenient.
W: Yes, it would.
M: But it can also be a disadvantage because you are, in a sense, separated from ordinary society. You're a language teacher, and I think learning from society is a valuable experience.
W: Yes, yes, ecactly, so what's the alternative?
M: Maybe finding an English host family. I know of a student Ali from the Middle East. He told me that he had learnt a lot by staying with a British family.
W: Thank you, I think it's quite a good suggestion. By the way, Dr. Francis, do you think I could …？ [fade out]
M: You now have 40 seconds to check your answers to Qusetions 17-20.
[Pause 00'40”]
That is the end of Part C.
You now have five minutes to transfer all your answers from your test booklet to ANSWER SHEET 1.
[Pause 05'00“]

2002考研英语听力样题文字稿的延伸阅读——复习英语要讲究技巧
一，重视单词。
从第一天开始复习到考试的前一天，考试大纲词汇就应不离手，因为这是一切的基础。考试大纲是命题专家出题的依据、基础，所以考生一定要重视。背单词时，可以总结同义词、一词多义以及包含“高级”短语的句子，然后跟同桌的研友们对话，或者“厚颜无耻”地主动向他们“炫耀”，同时也坚持参加英语辩论活动，把自己最新积累的词句一一“亮”出，这样考生会感觉记得特别牢固。
二，日积月累。
作为一门语言，充满了繁琐与细节的，想一口吃成大胖子是不太现实的，必须耐心地积累“量变”以求“质变”。学习英语的时间安排也是有规律可循的，如果你一天安排3个小时学英语，那么与其一鼓作气学3个小时倒不如改成上下午各1.5小时。持续学习、及时复习才能收到较为理想的效果。可以参照着名的“艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线”来合理安排时间，最大限度地降低遗忘率，以获得较好的学习效果。
三，研读真题。
历年考研英语全真试题是了解考研水平的最快途径，也是熟悉命题规律的唯一途径。所以要在老师的指导下分阶段复习考研英语真题。找一个安静的环境，先用一周的时间做一套真题，做完后，对自己的错题先看一下怎么错的，错在哪里，能不能解决。剩下的时间要分析题型，也就是看这些题目是属于细节题、推理题，还是主旨大意题……当复习完十年的真题，建议考生放20天左右的时间，重新再做真题，分析自己的做题思路，考前一个月适当做些高质量的模拟题练练手。另外，希望考生真题至少看三遍。第一遍先做，做完之后归纳总结错题的原因。第二遍主要精读文章解决单词句子翻译。第三遍前两遍的内容都要看。
四，增加课外阅读。
课外阅读在考研英语复习中占有重要地位，对提高成绩有很大作用，建议大家订一份《英语世界》杂志，阅读上面的文章，也会有不少收获。如果有条件，看看自己学校图书馆是否有这本书，有的话坚持看，肯定会有收获的！
希望以上的介绍对2013的考研同学有所帮助，另外，大家在学习英语学习方法时，要从自身实际出发，选择真正适合自己的复习方法。 |
