2011淘金式巧攻英语专业四级_突击听力_50篇听写强化文本学习啊

学英语简单吗？肯定会有许多学生说：“难死了”。

为什么有好多学生对英语的学习都感到头疼呢？答案只有一个：“不得法。” 英语与汉语一样都是一种语言，为什么你说汉语会如此流利？那是因为你置身于一个汉语环境中，如果你在伦敦呆上半年，保准说起英语来会非常流利。但很多中学生没有很好的英语环境，那么你可以自己设置一个英语环境，坚持“多说”、“多听”、“多读”、“多写”，那么你的英语成绩肯定会很出色。 一、多“说”。

自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语，见了同学，尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候，谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典，遇到生词时查一下这些生词，也不用刻意去记，用的多了，这个单词自然而然就会记住。千万别把学英语当成负担，始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。

或许你有机会碰上外国人，你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼，和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪，婚史等私人问题。尽量用一些你学过的词汇，句子去和他谈天说地。不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇，而且不太看重说法，你只要发音准确，准能顺利地交流下去。只是你必须要有信心，敢于表达自己的思想。

如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系，你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象，对它谈你一天的所见所闻，谈你的快乐，你的悲伤等等，长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。 二、多“听”

寻找一切可以听英语的机会。别人用英语交谈时，你应该大胆地去参与，多听听各种各样人的发音，男女老少，节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到，如果这样的机会少的话，你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听，这将会对你帮助很大，而你去听学过的课文的磁带，那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很大的帮助。 三、多“读”。

“读”可以分为两种。一种是“默读”。每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你提高阅读速度有很大的好处，读的内容可以是你的课本，但最好是一些有趣的小读物，因为现在的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。每道题的得分都与你的理解程度有很大关系，所以经过高中三年阅读的训练后，你必定会在高考中胜券在握。 另一种是“朗读”这是学语言必不可少的一种学习途径。 四、多“写”

有的同学总是抱怨时间紧，根本没时间写作文。其实“写”的形式很多，不一定就写作文才提高写作能力。比如写下你一天中发生的一些重要的事情，或当天学了某一个词组，你可以创设一个语境恰如其份地用上这个词。这样即可帮你记住这个词的用法，又可以锻炼你的写作能力，比如学“wish”一词时，可写一小段如下：

The teacher often asks us what we want to be in the future.My good friend Tom

wishes to be a soldier.However,I'm different .I wish I were a teacher in the future.But my mother wishes me to be a doctor.

只几句话：但wish的几种用法已跃然纸上，这样写下来印象会深刻得多，这样比死记硬背wish的用法也有趣轻松的多。

学习英语不用花大块的时间，10分钟的散步可以练\说\吃完饭后可以读一会儿英语小说，睡前听几分钟英语，可以使你得到更好地休息……只要你每天抽出一些时间来练英语，你的英语成绩肯定会很快提高的。

背英语单词技巧 1、循环记忆法 艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线

人的大脑是一个记忆的宝库，人脑经历过的事物，思考过的问题，体验过的情感和情绪，练习过的动作，都可以成为人们记忆的内容。例如英文的学习中单词、短语和句子，甚至文章的内容都是通过记忆完成的。从\记\到\忆\是有个过程的，这其中包括了识记、保持、再认和回忆。有很多 人在学习英语的过程中，只注重了学习当时的记忆效果，孰不知，要想做好学习的记忆工作，是要下一番工夫的，单纯的注重当时的记忆效果，而忽视了后期的保持和再认同样是达不到良好的效果的。

在信息的处理上，记忆是对输入信息的编码、贮存和提取的过程，从信息处理的角度上，英文的第一次学习和背诵只是一个输入编码的过程。人的记忆的能力从生理上讲是十分惊人的，它可以存贮1015比特(byte，字节)的信息，可是每个人的记忆宝库被挖掘的只占10%，还有更多的记忆发挥空间。这是因为，有些人只关注了记忆的当时效果，却忽视了记忆中的更大的问题--即记忆的牢固度问题，那就牵涉到心理学中常说的关于记忆遗忘的规律。 一、艾宾浩斯记忆规律曲线解释

德国有一位著名的心理学家名叫艾宾浩斯(Hermann Ebbinghaus，1850-1909)，他在1885年发表了他的实验报告后，记忆研究就成了心理学中被研究最多的领域之一，而艾宾浩斯正是发现记忆遗忘规律的第一人。

根据我们所知道的，记忆的保持在时间上是不同的，有短时的记忆和长时的记忆两种。而我们平时的记忆的过程是这样的：

输入的信息在经过人的注意过程的学习后，便成为了人的短时的记忆，但是如果不经过及时的复习，这些记住过的东西就会遗忘，而经过了及时的复习，这些短时的记忆就会成为了人的一种长时的记忆，从而在大脑中保持着很长的时间。那么，对于我们来讲，怎样才叫做遗忘呢，所谓遗忘就是我们对于曾经记忆过的东西不能再认起来，也不能回忆起来，或者是错误的再认和错误的回忆，这些都是遗忘。艾宾浩斯在做这个实验的时候是拿自己作为测试对象的，他得出了一些关于记忆的结论。他选用了一些根本没有意义的音节，也就是那些不能拼出单词来的众多字母的组合，比如asww，cfhhj，ijikmb，rfyjbc等等。他经过对自己的测试，得到了一些数据。 然后，艾宾浩斯又根据了这些点描绘出了一条曲线，这就是非常有名的揭示遗忘规律的曲线：艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线，图中竖轴表示学习中记住的知识数量，横轴表示时间(天数)，曲线表示记忆量变化的规律。

这条曲线告诉人们在学习中的遗忘是有规律的，遗忘的进程不是均衡的，不是固定的一天丢掉几个，转天又丢几个的，而是在记忆的最初阶段遗忘的速度很快，后来就逐渐减慢了，到了相当长的时候后，几乎就不再遗忘了，这就是遗忘的发展规律，即\先快后慢\的原则。观察这条遗忘曲线，你会发现,学得的知识在一天后，如不抓紧复习,就只剩下原来的25%)。随着时间的推移,遗忘的速度减慢，遗忘的数量也就减少。有人做过一个实验，两组学生学习一段课文，甲组在学习后不久进行一次复习，乙组不予复习，一天后甲组保持98%，乙组保持56%；一周后甲组保持83%，乙组保持33%。乙组的遗忘平均值比甲组高。 二、不同性质材料有不同的遗忘曲线

而且，艾宾浩斯还在关于记忆的实验中发现，记住12个无意义音节，平均需要重复16.5次；为了记住36个无意义章节，需重复54次；而记忆六首诗中的480个音节，平均只需要重复8次！这个实验告诉我们，凡是理解了的知识，就能记得迅速、全面而牢固。不然，愣是死记硬背，那也是费力不讨好的。因此，比较容易记忆的是那些有意义的材料，而那些无意义的材料在记忆的时候比较费力气，在以后回忆起来的时候也很不轻松。因此，艾宾浩斯遗忘

曲线是关于遗忘的一种曲线，而且是对无意义的音节而言，对于与其他材料的对比，艾宾浩斯又得出了不同性质材料的不同遗忘曲线，不过他们大体上都是一致的。

因此，艾宾浩斯的实验向我们充分证实了一个道理，学习要勤于复习，而且记忆的理解效果越好，遗忘的也越慢。

三、不同的人有不同的艾宾浩斯记忆曲线--个性化的艾宾浩斯

上述的艾宾浩斯记忆曲线是艾宾浩斯在实验室中经过了大量测试后，产生了不同的记忆数据，从而生成的一种曲线，是一个具有共性的群体规律。此记忆曲线并不考虑接受试验个人的个性特点，而是寻求一种处于平衡点的记忆规律。

但是记忆规律可以具体到我们每个人，因为我们的生理特点、生活经历不同，可能导致我们有不同的记忆习惯、记忆方式、记忆特点。规律对于自然人改造世界的行为，只能起一个催化的作用，如果与每个人的记忆特点相吻合，那么就如顺水扬帆，一日千里；如果与个人记忆特点相悖，记忆效果则会大打折扣。因此，我们要根据每个人的不同特点，寻找到属于自己的艾宾浩斯记忆曲线 2》如何学英语

下定决心，坚持不懈

英语学习作为一门语言技能，通过大量的训练和练习任何人是可以掌握的。一般地说，英语学习的原则是听、说领先，读、写跟上。李扬的疯狂英语提倡，首先建立起我能学好英语的信心，然后以句子为单位，大量地模仿，疯狂地操练，大声地朗读，最后达到自如地说英语，他的方法对提高说英语的能力很奏效。钟道隆教授45岁开始学英语，一年后，学成出国当口语翻译，并创造了逆苦恼、逆急于求成、逆速成的逆向学习英语的方法。他还提出学习英语要遵循听、写、说、背、想的方法，他的方法强调以听为主，并且把所听到的内容全部写下来。尤其是他的学习精神最可佳，他学习英语用坏了十几台录音机，你可想象他听了多少英语；用完的圆珠笔芯几乎装满了一个一拉罐，你可想象他写了多少，在一年半内，累计业余学习英语时间大约三千小时，也就说每天抽出几个小时来学英语。如果我们做到他那样，一定也能学好英语。最重要的是坚持，只要能下定决心，坚持每天至少一个小时的学习英语，战胜自我最后肯定会有收获的。 注意方法，循序渐进

决心下定，还注意学习方法，有时根据自己的情况和不同的学习目的，选择不同的学习方法，但是学习英语一定要踏踏实实地、一步一个脚印地走。要把基础知识掌握好，也就是说，发音要正确、基本词汇要掌握牢、基本句式要熟练、基本语法要会用。

（1）要过好语音关。把每一个音标发正确，注意改正有问题的音素，特别是那些容易混淆的音素，尽早地掌握国际音标，并尽量的掌握一些读音规则，尽快地能利用读音规则来拼单词，掌握读音规则对单词的记忆和拼写非常有用。

（2）掌握一定数量的英语单词。对于学习者来说掌握英语词汇是一难关，学习单词要从单词的形、音、义这三方面去掌握，要注意单词的一词多义，一词多类的用法，要学会一些构词法的知识，来扩展词汇量。学习单词要在语言材料中去学，要结合词组，通过句子，阅读文章来活记单词，死记的单词是记不牢的。坚持在读、说前，先反复听，听的时候反应单词、句子的意思和节奏，想一下单词的拼法、句子结构。并要同学习语法规则有机结合起来进行。 （3）掌握好基本语法。语法在学习英语中也很重要，它能帮助我们把握住英语的基本规律，通过例句或语言现象把死的语法规则要记住，活的规则要通过做大量的练习掌握。总之学习英语要通过听、说、读、写、译来进行操练，不但要注意数量，更重要的是要注意质量，尤其是基本知识要掌握的准确，熟练。只有经过大量的实践，才能做到熟能生巧，运用自如。 提前预习，有的放矢

作为学生，在每次上课前，都要对要学的课文提前预习。首先在音标的帮助下试着拼读单词，也可以借助配套磁带反复听，对比一下，把握不准的要标出来，注意上课老师的发音，还要记一下单词的汉语意思和词性。借助课文的注释或辅导材料，预习一遍课文，找出不明白的地方，做到心中有数，在教师讲课时注意听这些地方。总之，预习的目的是熟悉要学的内容，找出不明白的地方，带着问题听课，做到有的放矢。 认真听课，积极配合

课堂是老师与学生一起学习、掌握、运用知识的主要场所。作为起主导作用的老师一方引导学生搞好课堂教学是很必要的，但也需要学习者的积极配合。上课要专心听讲、作好笔记、认真操练、积极思考。预习时出现的问题在课堂上教师没有讲到的，要向老师提出，把问题搞清楚，老师讲授的问题，先注意听，下课后整理一下笔记，反复思考一下这些问题，抓住老师所讲的重点，难点和考点。总之，上课时要做到耳听、眼观、嘴动、脑想，调动起多个感官来。

完成作业，找出问题

学完每一课，要认真完成课后作业。做作业时一定不要看参考书上题的答案，做完后再对答案，对于作业中所出现的不明白的问题，应该记下来，等下次上课时提出来。做作业是英语学习的很重要的环节，它是消化知识和巩固知识的过程，一定要认真完成规定的作业，笔头作业要动一动笔，口头作业要动一动嘴，提高听力要练一练耳，课文在听和读的基础上，最好背诵某些精彩段落。总之，要做大量的练习，英语是练出来的， 一定不要偷懒。 及时复习，巩固知识

学会了的东西随着时间的流逝会逐渐遗忘，但学语言有遗忘现象是正常的。更不必因为有遗忘现象而影响自己学好英语的信心与决心。问题在于怎样来减轻遗忘的程度。善于类比，总结知识，把新学的知识同过去学的有关的知识进行横向和纵向比较和联系。建立错误档案记录，加深印象，以避免再反同样错误。我们大部分知识和技能是靠重复获得的，及时复习对于记忆非常必要，学英语就是要坚持天天不断的练，不断地重复基本句型，常用词汇和基本语法等。学习英语的过程也是同遗忘做斗争的过程。

总而言之，只要你能做到下定决心学，注意学习方法，把课前预习，认真听课，完成作业，及时复习这些环节作好了，你一定能够学好英语

Dictation 1 Superstition 迷信（144 words）

One person in four in Britain is, apparently, superstitious, / and they?ll do everything from hanging horseshoes over their fireplace to crossing their fingers, / touching wood and absolutely

never walking under a ladder. / And they?re careful about cats. / Black cats are supposed to be the

familiars of witches, / so if one is following you it?s definitely bad luck — a witch is after you! /

On the other hand, if one crosses your path and continues / then it?s good luck because it hasn?t

noticed you. / However, in some places the beliefs are different / — so it pays to know where

your black cat comes from! /

Old superstitions linger even in today?s modern world. / The author Philip Pullman drew on

them / in his award winning novel “His Dark Materials”. / The novel, which appeals to both children and adults, / has been adapted for radio and also the theatre. /

Day, a day when people traditionally like to try / to make a fool of someone else and laugh at them. /

There are lots of theories surrounding the origins of the day, / but one explanation is

connected with the change in the calendar in the 16th century, / which meant that 1st April was no

longer the beginning of the year. / Those who still celebrated the New Year on 1st April were called fools. /

So what kind of pranks do people play on April Fool?s Day? / Well, there are lots of simple

tricks / that you can play on your friends. / For example, you could wear a black sweater / and pull

Dictation 17 AWalk in the Park 在公园散步（141 words）

Exercising in natural areas is not only good for your physical health / —it can improve your

mood / and sense of well-being in as little as five minutes. / So says research in the journal Environmental Health and Technology. /

Exercise alone is known to make you happier. / So is being in a natural setting. / So scientists

wanted to see the effect of combining the two. / They evaluated 10 different UK studies involving

more than 1,200 people. /

Participants had taken part in activities such as gardening, / sailing and country walks, and

rated their mood and self-esteem. /

The research showed that both areas get a significant boost / with as little as five minutes of outdoor exercise. / And people with mental disorders benefited the most. / The study authors say

this is the first study / to quantify the amount of time needed to get a positive effect. /

Dictation 18 Fast food Makes Us Less Patient 快餐使我们失去耐性（146 words） Fast food is a multibillion-dollar industry, / and for some of us, drive-through dinner has become a way of life. / Granted, sometimes we grab something quick because we really don?t

have time. / But psychologists got to wondering / whether all this speed eating might actually

make us less patient. /

In a series of experiments, the scientists showed volunteers logos / from several fast-food

chains or asked them to recall the last time they?d visited. / And they found that folks who had

thought about fast food would then read faster, / even though no one told them to hurry. / And they

also expressed a preference for time-saving products, / like shampoo plus conditioner. / And they

tended to opt for immediate rewards, / like getting a small cash payment right away / rather than

waiting a week for a larger sum. / So if you want to ease the pace, forget meditation. Try a slow cooker. /

Dictation 19 Light All Night Not Alright 整夜开灯并非好事（159 words）

A nightlight may keep those monsters under the bed. / But it may also open the door to the blues. /

If you have access to electricity, you no doubt switch on a lamp, / maybe even watch a little TV, after the sun goes down. / But our bodies use cues about lightness and dark to regulate our

hormones / and of course our sleep cycles. / So what might these extra photons be doing to our

health? /

To find out, scientists housed mice in a room / where the lights were always on. / After three

weeks, they found that mice who lived in the spotlight showed symptoms of depression, / more so

than mice who enjoyed eight hours of darkness at night. / Interestingly, mice who could escape the

light by ducking into a dark tube / also escaped the worst of the depression. /

So flip that light switch at your own risk. / Because the artificial brightness that helps keep us

up could also bring us down. /

New York. /

Londoners can now look forward to the transformation of their city / in the same way as their

counterparts in Beijing. / Indeed, there are many similarities in the two cities? approach to hosting

the games. / Both cities need to invest in developing their infrastructure / in order to cope with the

demands of the event. /

However, this kind of investment is far from cheap / — it is estimated that it will cost around $40 billion to prepare for the 2008 games, / much of which will be spent on transport links.

Even in the centre of London, on a sunny day, / the parks are full of office workers eating their lunch outside on the grass. / That might be a pretty basic picnic / — a shop-bought sandwich and a bottle of water. /

But if people are planning a picnic on the beach or at the park, / they would probably pack a

cool bag / with a whole variety of home-made sandwiches, snacks, cake, fruit and soft drinks. /

wedding dress to the house / that the couple will live after their wedding, / is decided with utmost

care. / An important decision that the person has to make along with the other arrangements for the

wedding / is to choose between one?s maiden name and spouse?s name. / Though traditionally,

women are expected to change their name / from their maiden name to their husband?s name, /

many women nowadays opt to keep their maiden name after marriage, / mostly for professional

maiden name as their second name. / Also, there are couples who make a new name with both

their names, / by separating the names with a hyphen. /

Dictation 23 The Compass 指南针（153 words）

has almost always led us to the question “How does a compass work?” / The answer to this question can be explained / through the concept of the earth?s electromagnetism. /

Simply speaking, a compass is basically a small magnet / that has a needle attached on

one

end. / The other end of the magnet is attached to a freely moving pin. / When the compass is held

out steadily, / the magnet becomes parallel with the magnetic field of the Earth, / and this causes it

the few sports with a known date of birth. / Football, or soccer, originally developed from traits

found in both China and Europe. / It has grown to become the world?s most popular sport. / In

Europe, football clubs have been established, / which in turn has been copied in the rest of the

world. / These football clubs train players / who may later go play for their nations in the World

in the hopes / that it would bring them wealth and success. / However, after years of labor in their

chosen field, they begin to hate their jobs. / This is mainly because they have neglected other parts

of their lives in search of this success. / These people devote their lives to working / and are unable to separate themselves from their work. / They find that it may not be enough. / Some have

jobs where their principles and emotional health / are challenged by dishonesty or bad work environments. / These people can begin to become influenced by the environment in which they

work, / leading to personal or health problems. / This choice is not a permanent situation, however,

/ as many people have chosen to change the values of their lives. /

Dictation 28 Reeducation and Employment 再教育和就业（160 words）

During the course of our lives, we must make many choices that we may come to regret. /

cultures

have very different views of obeying the law. / In some cultures, law-abiding citizens try to keep

the letter of the law. / That is, whatever the law says, they do. / In other cultures, good citizens live

by the spirit of the law. / They see the law only as a general guideline. / Often they obey the law

only when someone official is looking. / The situation in America fits into the first category. / That

doesn?t mean all Americans keep the law. / But American culture teaches people to respect the law

— even to the smallest detail. /

Driving habits illustrate American respect for the law. / A driver will usually stop for a red

Many business professionals hold meetings during lunch or dinner / with clients, investors, or

other business professionals. / What if your meeting seems to be hindered by bad restaurant

service? / Should you complain? The answer is yes, always, but with diplomacy. /

Proper restaurant social skills in a business setting are a little different / from when you are out dining with your family. / For example, it is okay to ask for a discount on bad service when

you are with your family, / but not when you are with a business associate. /

If you are meeting someone at a restaurant, / arrive at least five minutes earlier. / Be sure to greet them with a friendly business handshake. /

Never order for your business associate. / If they ask for help ordering or seem

uncomfortably indecisive / you can recommend something you may have previously tried / or ask

the waiter to help with a suggestion. /

Dictation 42 Wednesday 星期三（158 words）

If you struggled to get up for work on Wednesdays, / there could be a good reason / — it is

the day our mood reaches its lowest point. /

Psychologists have found that, on average, / people?s moods remain about the same on each

day throughout the week. /

Monday has traditionally been thought of as the most depressing day of the week / but according to psychologists, midweek gives more cause for concern in reality. /

Wednesday represented the lowest point in the week / as people were furthest away

from the

weekend that has either just gone or is coming up / and often feel bogged down with work. / To start their research, the scientists asked around 200 people / what they thought their mood

would be on each day of the week. /

Most said their worst moods were on Monday mornings and evenings / but they became

increasingly cheerful as the week wore on, / with their best moods falling on Friday and Saturday

mornings and evenings. /

Dictation 43 The Charming Character of Swedes 性格可爱的瑞典人（158 words） All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions. / And these traditions are

expressed in a specific ritual / made up of formal bows, handshakes, and greetings. /

When a visitor enters a Swedish home, / he is invariably received with a“Welcome”; / when he leaves, his host will tell him “You will be welcome again.” /

These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life / and they give it an

old-world flavor of good manners. /Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment. /

A traveler never needs to search for a telephone is Sweden: / telephone booths are placed at

regular intervals along the main streets and highways. /And in church, for example, / long benches are fitted with hearing aids for worshippers who may be hard of hearing. /

Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world / and travelers in Sweden find their

journeys made easy by the use of the most efficient modern devices. /

The spirit of giving and sharing is at its peak during the Christmas season. / People are so

generous to dole out gifts, / money and other things to people they care about, / and at times to

charity, too. / This innate feeling in us is always there. / It?s not only for special seasons like the

holidays / that we should be able to give / and share whatever we have in abundance. / It most

likely to be the instinctive feeling in us / that we should be willing to share and give something all

year round / especially to those who are in need. /

The holiday feeling is all around us. / The malls are all decorated with pretty and shiny Christmas decors all around. / There?s happy Christmas music being heard all over the place. / A

lot of people are shopping because there are lots of sales and discounts offered. /

cars and swimming pools; / the poor have very little. /

By contrast, this is not true in the United States. / The cost of certain things that only the rich

can afford in other countries is relatively low. / This means that laborers, farmers, and people who

are not / usually regarded as rich nevertheless have many possessions / that only the rich have in

other nations. / Understandably a visitor may assume that all Americans / who own cars are as rich

as people in his own country who own cars. / Actually, this is not the cases; / secretaries, university students, factory workers or farmers can and do buy cars / and many other “expensive” things. /

Dictation 46 Personal Progress 个人的进步（140 words）

In many parts of the world, / personal influence is essential in achieving success. / This is not

true in the United States, / where success usually results from hard work, education, skill, and

personal initiative. / America is truly a “do-it-yourself” society; / success is not dependent on family origins or the help of an influential person. / Personal progress is the result of individual effort. /

Because effort and initiative are so important in America, / there are many customs that may

be different from those practiced in other countries. / For example, it is not considered

dishonorable to quit a job, / even if you have had it for only a short time. / Moving from job-to-job,

or “job-hopping”, as it is called, / is quite acceptable in the United States. / Frequently, the opportunity to change jobs / offers workers a chance to move up to a better position. /

Dictation 47 Uniform 制服（158 words）

Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, / yet they love and respect few things

more than a uniform, / whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. / Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? /

Among the arguments for uniforms, / one of the first is that in the eyes of most people / they

look more professional than civilian clothes. / People have become conditioned to expect superior

quality from a man who wears a uniform. / The television repairman who wears uniform

tends to

inspire more trust / than one who appears in civilian clothes. / Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. / What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber,

or a waiter / to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform? /

Uniforms also have many practical benefits. / They save on other clothes. They save on

laundry bills. They are tax-deductible. /

Dictation 48 Opportunity 机会（141 words）

The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. / Yet without it we could

not survive more than a few minutes. / For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, /

and everyone needs it. / Some people use the air to sustain them / while they sit around and feel

sorry for themselves. / Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides / to make a magnificent life for themselves. /

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. / Opportunity is so freely available that we

take it for granted. / Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. / Opportunity must be

seized and acted upon in order to have value. / So many people are so anxious to “get in” on a

“ground floor opportunity”, / as if the opportunity will do all the work. / That?s impossible. /

Dictation 49 Switch 开关（156 words）

An electric switch is often on a wall near the door of a room. / Two wires lead to the lamp in

the room. / The switch is fixed in one of them. / The switch can cause a break in this wire, and

then the light goes. / The switch can also join the two parts of the wire again, then we get a light. /

Switch can control many different things. / Small switches control lamps and radio sets because these do not take a large current, / larger switches control electric fires. / Other switches

can control electric motors. /

Good switches move quickly. They have to stop the current suddenly. / If they move slowly,

an electric spark appears. / It jumps across the space between the two ends of the wire. / This is

unsafe and it heats the switch. / Very big switches are sometimes placed in oil. / Sparks do not

easily jump through oil, so the oil makes the switch safer. /

Dictation 50 Typhoon 台风（142 words）

Some of the worst storms are typhoons. / Every year, about 80 typhoons hit different places

around the world. / The strongest ones are usually around the Pacific Ocean / and the South China

Sea. / Most of them happen in July, August and September. /

Why? When lots of seawater gets hot in the summer sun, / it evaporates into the air. / This

makes the air hotter, too. / When the air gets warm enough, / it starts to move higher up into the

sky. / Then, cooler air around it rushes in to fill the space that is left. / Once the air gets warmer, it

starts to move more quickly, making wind. / The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher

in the sky. / The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. / And when the wind moves

faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins. /
