　　2024年6月英语四级听力真题及答案 1

　　Passage One

　　The massive decline in sleep happened so slowly and quietly that few seemed to notice the trend. Was it because of the growing attraction of the Internet, video games and endless TV channels? Never disconnecting from work? No matter how it happened, millions of Americans are putting their health, quality of life and even length of life in danger.

　　New evidence shows why getting enough sleep is a top priority. Some 40% of Americans get less than 7 hours of shut-eye on week nights. "The link between sleep and health, and bad sleep and disease is becoming clearer and clearer." says Lawrence Alberstaine, a sleep expert at Harvard University. For example, sleep duration has declined from some 8 hours in the 1950s to 7 in recent years. At the same time, high blood pressure has become an increasing problem. Blood pressure and heart rate are typically at their lowest levels during sleep. People who sleep less tend to have higher blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes, weight gain and other problems.

　　Sleeping better may help fight off illness. "When people are sleep-derived, there are higher levels of stress hormones in their bodies which can decrease immune function." says Doctor Felice, of Northwestern University in Chicago. A university of Chicago study shows people who sleep well live longer. So say good night sooner and it may help you stay active and vital to a ripe old age.

　　Q16. What is the speaker mainly talking about?

　　Q17. What do we learn from the talk about todays Americans?

　　Q18. What does the speaker say will happen to people who lack sleep?

　　Passage Two

　　Parents and teachers will tell you not to worry when applying for a place at a university. But in the same breath will remind you that it is the most important decision of your life.

　　The first decision is your choice of course. It will depend on what you want to get out of university, what you are good at and what you enjoy. The next decision is where to apply. Aim high but within reason. Do you have the right combination of subjects and are your expected grades likely to meet entry requirements? The deadline is January 15th. But it is best to submit your application early because universities begin work as soon as forms start rolling in.

　　The most important part of the application is the much feared personal statement. This is your chance to convey boundless enthusiasm for the subject. So economy of expression is foremost. Omit dull and ineffective generalities and make sure you give concrete examples.

　　Admissions officers read every personal statement that arrives. It is not convincing if you say you have chosen the subject because you enjoy it. You have to get across what it is about a particular area that has inspired you. They will look for evidence that you have reflected and thought about the subject.

　　Applicants should be honest. There is no point saying you run marathons, if you are going to be out of breath arriving at the interview on the second floor.

　　Q19. What is the first decision you should make in preparing to apply for a place at a university?

　　Q20. What is the most important part of the application?

　　Q21. What must applicants do in their personal statements?

　　Passage Three

　　It is widely believed that German invented the first car in 1885. It was actually a tricycle with a petrol motor at the rear. Soon, members of the royal family and other wealthy people took up motoring as a sport. Many of the early cars had 2 seats. There were no petrol pumps and few garages, so every driver had to be his own engineer for the frequent breakdowns.

　　By 1905, cars began to look like cars of today, with head lamps, wind screen, rubble tires and number plates. Henry Fords Model T introduced in America in 1909 was cheaper because it was made on the assembly line. It brought cars closer towards the reach of ordinary people. With the popularity of the car, registration became a must in 1903 with the motor car act. Competency tests were introduced in 1935.

　　Today, the legal driving age for a car in the UK is 17. You are not allowed to drive a car unsupervised until you have passed a driving test. In 1958, Britain celebrated the opening of its first motor way – the Preston Bypass. Until then, no one really understood what a motor way was, not even the laborers who were building it. The bypass held a new era in motor travel and was greeted with excitement and optimism. Service stations came with the motor way and the legend of the transport cafe was born. Of course, the service station has diversified greatly. But whether it’s an English-cooked breakfast or a coffee and a sandwich, one thing has remained the same: the prices.

　　Q22. What does the speaker say about the first motor car?

　　Q23. What was the problem with the early cars in Britain?

　　Q24. Why did Henry Fords Model T cars cost less?

　　Q25. What do we learn about the Preston Bypass? 　【Conversations】

　　Conversation One

　　M: So, Linzy, do you like to text message on your cell phone?

　　W: Yeah, I text message a lot.

　　M: I dont do it so much. I prefer to make a call if Im in a hurry.

　　W: Yeah, I go both ways. Sometimes I don’t really want to talk to the person. I just want to ask them one question, so its much easier for me just to text message. If I call them, Ill have to have a long conversation.

　　M: Yeah, I can see what you mean. But I get off the phone pretty quickly when I call. Im not a big talker.

　　W: Yeah, thats true. You dont talk a lot.

　　M: So are you fast at writing the messages with your thumb?

　　W: Well, when I first got a cell phone, I was so slow. I thought I would never text message. But then people kept text messaging me, so I felt obliged to learn how to text message. So now Im pretty fast. What about you?

　　M: Actually I have the opposite problem. When I first got my cell phone, I thought it was so cool to text message all my friends who have one, and I was pretty fast with my thumb then. But it seems like now I dont use it so much, Ive got slower actually.

　　W: Yeah, I think text messaging actually is what you have to do with your age. For example, people in high school, they text message a lot. But I ask my father if he texted messages, and guess what he said?

　　M: What?

　　W: He said hed never text message. He thinks its very childish and unprofessional to text message.

　　M: Yeah, I can see what he means. Its considered pretty informal to text message to someone.

　　Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation youve just heard.

　　Conversation Two

　　W: Good morning, Mr. Johnson. How can I help you?

　　M: Well, Id like to talk to you about Tim Bond, the department manager.

　　W: What seems to be the problem?

　　M: Well, ever since Sandra left the department, I feel like Ive been targeted to do all her work as well as mine. Im expected to attend too many meetings and I seem to be spending a lot of my time doing unnecessary paper work.

　　W: Im sorry to hear that.

　　M: And, on top of that, Id specifically asked if I could leave early last Friday as I done a lot of overtime during the week. But that afternoon, even though Id finished my assigned work, I was told to help other colleagues finish their work, too.

　　W: But surely thats a positive sign showing that Mr. Bond has a lot of trust in you.

　　M: Yes, but other colleagues get to leave early, and they dont have such a lot of work to do.

　　W: So you feel hes really making unrealistic demands on you?

　　M: Yes, absolutely.

　　W: Have you approached Mr. Bond about this particular problem?

　　M: Ive tried, but it seems like he just has no time for me.

　　W: Well, at this stage, it would be better if you approached him directly. If nothing else showing that youve tried to solve the problem yourself before you take it further. Makes it clear that youre just not a complainer. Why dont you send an email requesting a meeting with him in private?

　　M: Hmm, Ive been a bit worried about his reaction. But anyway Ill send him an email to request a meeting, and Ill see what happens from there. Thanks for your advice.

　　W: Good luck. And let us know the outcome.

　　News Report 1

　　The International Labor Organization says the number of people without jobs is increasing. In its latest on global employment trends, the agency says projections of the number of unemployed people this year range from 210 million to nearly 240 million people. The report warns that 200 million poor workers are at risk of joining the ranks of people living on less than 2 dollars per day in the past three years. The director general of the International Labor Organization Juan Somavia notes that some countries have taken measures to address the effects of the global crisis.

　　However, he points out that many countries have not done so. And based on past experiences, it takes four to five years after economic recovery for unemployment to return to pre-crisis levels. Mr. Somavia says the International Labor Organization is proposing a global jobs agreement to deal with unemployment. Its key objective is to play so the center of recovery efforts, measures that would generate high levels of employment and provide basic social protection for the most vulnerable.

　　Q1. What is the news report mainly about?

　　Q2. What does, Juan Somavia, the director general of the International Labor Organization say?

　　News Report 2

　　Big fast food chains in New York City have started to obey a first of its kind rule, requiring them to post calorie counts right on the menu. Cathy Nurses is with the New York City department of health, We wanted to give people an opportunity to actually see the calories before they purchased the food and make a decision and inform decision. That if they want to make their healthier choice, if they want to eat fewer calories they can. And we expect this will have a huge impact on obesity. And of course, if it has an impact on obesity, it will have an impact on diabetes and heart disease and high blood pressure. The new rules will introduce as a part of anti-obesity campaign. That also includes a recent citywide ban and artificial trans-fats in restaurant food. The menu roll only applies to restaurants that serve standardized potion sizes and have fifty more locations nationwide. Starting last Saturday, chains big enough to fall under the rule will face penalties about 2000 dollars for not showing calorie information in a prominent spot on their menus preferably next to the price.

　　Q3. What are big fast food chains in New York City require to do according to the new rule?

　　Q4. What would happen to big restaurant chains that violate the new rule?

　　News Report Three

　　Almost all companies recognize the importance of innovation today. But not many are able to integrate innovation into their business.

　　A commentary in the Shanghai Daily points out that innovation doesnt mean piles of documents. It is something more practical. The article says many people tend to assume that innovation just means creating something new, but actually its more than that. Its an attitude of doing things. A company should find ways to innovate not just in products but also in functions, business models and processes.

　　The article cites the global giant Procter & Gamble as an example, saying a real innovative company should develop an innovation culture and use it as a primary tool for success. Procter & Gamble has a “Corporate Innovation Fund” which offers big rewards for high-risk ideas that succeed. It also has a special innovation facility for its employees. Sometimes its employees are released from their daily jobs for weeks and spend their time interacting in the innovation facility instead. In conclusion, the article says innovative ideas alone do not ensure success. Its pointless unless there is a repeatable process in place to turn inspiration into financial performance.

　　Q5. What is the problem with many companies according to the news report?

　　Q6. What do many people tend to think of innovation?

　　Q7. What does the company Procter & Gamble owe its success to?
