2018年英语专业四级听力 对话2Conversation Two对话2Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.根据对话2回答第6题到第10题Hello,and welcome to today's program. I'm Alice.大家好，欢迎来到今天的节目。我是爱丽丝。And I'm Jack. Hello.我是杰克。大家好。Hello,Jack. You're off on holiday tomorrow, aren't you?你好，杰克。你明天休假，是吗？I am and you know, and I'm dreading it. I hate flying!是的，你知道，我很害怕。我讨厌坐飞机！Do you? I didn't know you had a phobia- and that means a strong and unreasonable fear of something.是吗？我不知道你有恐惧症——就是对某种事物强烈而不合理的恐惧。Well,I don't think this is a phobia because it isn't unreasonable. Flying thousands of feet up in the sky, you know, that's not safe!嗯，我不认为这是恐惧症，因为它并非没有道理。你知道，在几干英尺的高空飞行很不安全Flying is safer than you think, Jack. It's much riskier to drive or cycle to work.And, actually, risk taking is the subject of today's show! Risk means the chances of something bad happening. For example, did you know that your chance of being knocked off your bicycle and killed during a one-mile journey is the same as your chances of winning the lotter乘飞机比你想象得要安全，杰克。开车或骑车上班风险更大。冒险！就是今天节目的主题！风险是指发生坏事的可能性。例如，你知道在一英里之内你骑自行车被撞到撞死的几率和你中彩票的几率是一样大的吗？I didn't know that.我不知道。Can you guess what are the chances of either of these two things happening?你能猜到这两种情况发生的概率是多少吗？I have no idea. One in a million?我不知道。一百万分之一吗？No,it's one in 14 million. You are as likely to win the national lottery from a single ticket as you are to be knocked off your bicycle and killed during a one-mile journey.不，是1千4百万分之一。你中全国彩票头奖的可能性就像一英里之内你骑自行车被撞倒撞死的可能性一样大。But why are we bad at assessing risk?但是为什么我们不善于评估风险呢？People typically fear anything which is small probability but it's extremely catastrophic if it were to happen...通常人们害怕的都是发生的可能性很小，但如果发生的话，将会是一场灾难的事情…….Recently we have another increase in these birds' virus outbreaks. People read about that. And they may pay a lot of attention to that in the news but they may forget to get their flu shot.最近这些鸟类病毒爆发事件又增加了。大家都知道这些。他们可能会在新闻中注意到这一点，但他们可能会忘记注射流感疫苗。That's right. We tend to worry about big or catastrophic events such as catching bird flu or dying in a plane crash because we react emotionally to them.对。我们倾向于担心重大或灾难性的事件，如感染禽流感或飞机失事伤亡，因为我们情绪上会对它们产生反应。Yeah.Catastrophic events feel like very real threats, while we tend to forget about the small but chronic risks that become more likely over time.是的。灾难性的事件感觉起来是非常真实的威胁，而我们往往会忘记那些随着时间的推移变得更有可能发生的，小而长期的风险。We do. So for example, what if there was a cigarette that killed you as soon as you smoked it? Nobody would do that, would they?是的。举个例子，如果有一根烟，你一抽完就会死，会出现什么样的情况？没有人会那样做，对不对?No,they wouldn't.对，没有人会那样做。But plenty of people are happy to smoke for years, and put off worrying about the health risks for the future.但是很多人很乐意吸烟很多年，并没有担心未来可能出现的健康风险。Yes,that's a good point, Jack! People feel they are in control of risks that stretch over time. You know, they think, "I could stop tomorrow" or"I could smoke less". But what about people who really enjoy taking big risks—those thrill seekers out there?是的，说得好，杰克！随着时间的推移，人们觉得他们能够控制住风险。你知道，他们会想，“我明天可以停下来”或者“我可以少抽烟”。但是那些真正喜欢冒险的人——那些寻求刺激的人呢？People who enjoy extreme sports actually seek out danger—it gives them extreme pleasure!喜欢极限运动的人实际上是在寻找危险，那给了他们极大的乐趣！If the risk is really high, it means that the pleasure needs to be equally high,or hopefully even higher—如果风险真的很高，那就意味着其中乐趣需要同样高，甚至更高.…..You're right.你说的对。Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.请根据对话2回答第6到10题。6.According to Alice, what is a phobia?问题6.根据爱丽丝的说法，什么是恐惧症？7.What are the chances of getting knocked off one's bicycle and killed in aone-mile journey?问题7.一英里之内骑自行车被撞倒撞死的可能性有多大？8.What kind of event do people tend to worry about?问题8.人们会担心什么样的事情？9.Which may involve a chronic risk?问题9.哪一项可能涉及慢性风险？10.Why do some people enjoy risks?问题10.为什么有些人喜欢冒险？

Actually, not being able to speak a foreign language is a bit of a British trait or a particularly British characteristic. The British are generally considered to be lazy linguists. We just don't bother to learn another language.不，玛丽。我只会一点点。事实上，不会说外语是英国人的一个特点，或者是英国人的一个特别的特点。英国人通常被认为在学习外语方面比较懒惰。我们只是不想去学另一种语言。I guess the main reason is that when you travel around the world, you find that English is spoken almost everywhere.我想主要原因是你到世界的其他地方，会发现几乎所有的地方都说英语。Yes,yes.

But recently a campaign was launched to encourage everyone in the UK to learn at least 1,000 words of another language. It hopes to help Britain increase international trade.不，不是强制性的。但最近发起了一项运动，鼓励英国人学习至少1000个外语单词，以期帮助英国增加国际贸易。1,000 words?1000个词？Yes.It's called the 1,000 Words Campaign because it says a vocabulary of 1,000 words would allow a speaker to hold a simple conversation.是的。它被称为“干词运动”，因为这个运动称掌握1000词可以与人进行简单的对话。That sounds like a good idea.听起来是个好主意。Yes.It gives you self-satisfaction and self-esteem if you can speak another language when you're travelling. And I think it also gives you an edge in a lot of different areas in the workplace. You feel good about learning a new skill and you feel good about yourself, and it boosts your confidence. Imagine going on a holiday to Spain and being able to speak to the locals.是的。如果你在旅行时会说一门外语，这会带给你自我满足和自尊。而且我认为它也让你在工作中的很多不同领域都有优势。学习一项新技能感觉很好，你自己也会很开心，这能增强你的信心。想象一下去西班牙度假，你可以和当地人交谈。Of course it does make one feel good.当然会让人感觉很好。And there are also the economic benefits of speaking another language. It gives you an advantage, especially if you are dealing with foreign companies.说外语也有经济上的好处。这是你的一个优势，尤其是当你和外国公司打交道的时候。Yes.It also shows politeness and respect for other people by showing you have made an effort.是的。它也说明你很努力，表现了你的礼貌和对他人的尊重。You're right. Mm, I'm afraid I must get going now. I'll have my Chinese class at 10 o'clock.你说的对。嗯，恐怕我得走了。我10点要上中文课。Oh, I have a class at 10 as well.

That is, what's going on in the little brain of a baby.大家早上好。在今天的课上，我要讲一些你们看不到的东西。也就是：婴儿的大脑里是如何运转的。For example, how babies learn a language.例如，婴儿如何学习一门语言。It is always a question people show great interest in.这是一个大家很感兴趣的问题。Babies and children are geniuses until they turn seven, and then there's a systematic decline.婴儿和七岁之前的儿童都是天才，七岁后就会出现系统性的衰退。Work in my lab is focused on the first critical period in development, and that is the period in which babies try to master which sounds are used in their language.我的实验室里工作的重点就是发育的第一个关键时期，在这个关键时期，婴儿试图掌握在他们的语言中用到的音。We think, by studying how the sounds are learned, we'll have a model for the rest of language, and perhaps for critical periods that may exist in childhood for social, emotional and cognitive development.我们认为，通过研究声音是如何习得的，我们将建立一个适用于语言其他方面的模型，也可能适用于儿童时期可能存在的社交、情感和认知发展关键时期的模型。So we've been studying the babies by conducting an experiment.所以我们一直在通过实验来研究这些婴儿。During our experiment, the baby, usually a six-monther, sits on a parent's lap, and wetrain them to turn their heads when a sound changes—like from"ah" to "ee".在我们的实验中，婴儿，通常是6个月大的婴儿，坐在父母的膝盖上，我们训练他们当音变化的时候转过头去，比如从“啊”变成“咿”的时候。If they do so at the appropriate time, the black box lights up and a panda bear pounds a drum. What have we learned?如果他们在正确的时候这样做，黑盒子就会亮起来，熊猫就会敲鼓。我们学到了什么？Well,babies all over the world are what I like to describe as "citizens of the world".全世界的婴儿就是我所说的“世界公民”。They can discriminate all the sounds of all languages no matter what country we'retesting and what language we're using, and that's remarkable because you know,I can't do that.他们可以区分所有语言的所有音，不管我们测试的是哪个国家，用的是什么语言，这很了不起，因为你知道，我做不到。We're culture-bound listeners.我们的听力受到了文化限制。We can discriminate the sounds of our own language, but not those of foreign languages.我们能分辨出自己语言的音，却分辨不出外语的音。So the question arises: When do those citizens of the world turn into the language-bound listeners that we are?所以问题就来了：这些世界公民什么时候会变成我们这样只能听懂某一种语言的人？And the answer: before their first birthdays.答案是：在他们一周岁之前。What you see here is performance on that head-turn task for babies tested in Tokyo and the United States, here in Seattle, as they listened to the "ra"and "la"- sounds important to English, but not to Japanese.这里是东京和美国西雅图参加测试的婴儿在转头实验中的表现，此时他们听到了“ra”和“la”，这是英语中很重要的发音，日语中却不重要。So at six to eight months, the babies are totally equivalent.所以在6到8个月大的时候，婴儿们的表现是完全一样的。Two months later, something, something incredible occurs.两个月后，一些不可思议的事情发生了。The babies in the United States are getting a lot better while babies in Japan are getting a lot worse.美国的婴儿表现越来越好，而日本的婴儿表现越来越差。So the question is: What's happening during this critical two-month period?问题是，在这两个月的关键时期发生了什么？We know this is the critical period for sound development, but what's going on up there?我们知道这是辩声能力发展的关键时期，但是究竟发生了什么？May bethere are two things going on.也许发生了两件事。The first is that the babies are listening intently to us, and they're taking statistics as they listen to us talk—they're taking statistics.首先，婴儿们全神贯注地听我们说话，他们一边听我们说话一边做统计——他们在做统计。That is to say, the two babies listen to their own mother speaking motherese—the universal language we use when we talk to kids.也就是说，两个婴儿听他们自己的母亲说妈妈语——我们和孩子说话时使用的通用语。During the production of speech, when babies listen, what they're doing is taking statistics, that is, sound distribution on the language that they hear.在产生语言的过程中，当婴儿听的时候，他们所做的就是做统计，也就是说，他们听到的语言的声音分布。And those sound distributions grow and babies absorb more.这些声音分布不断完善，婴儿就吸收更多。And what we've learned is that babies are sensitive to the statistics, and the statistics of Japanese and English are very, very different.我们发现，婴儿对统计数据很敏感，而且日语和英语的统计数据非常非常不同。I mean, the sound distribution of both languages is different.我的意思是，两种语言的声音分布是不同的。So babies absorb the statistics of the language and it changes their brains;所以婴儿会吸收语言的统计数据，这会改变他们的大脑；it changes them from the citizens of the world to the culture-bound listeners that we are because we as adults are no longer absorbing those statistics.这使他们从世界公民变成了我们这些受到文化限制只能听懂某一种语言的人，因为我们成年后就不再吸收这些数据。In this case, of course, we're arguing that the learning of language material may slowdown when our distribution stabilizes.当然，在这种情况下，我们认为声音分布趋于稳定时，语言的学习可能会减慢。OK.Today, we just talked about a recent project on babies' language development.好的。今天，我们刚刚讨论了最近的一个关于婴儿语言能力发展的项目。In our next lecture, we will concentrate on bilingual people, how bilinguals keep two sets of statistics in mind at once.在下一讲中，我们将集中讨论双语者，双语者如何同时记住两组数据。

The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper词汇提示1.scout 侦察员2.canoe 独木舟3.paddle 划船原文Chapter II: Lost In The ForestA few miles west of Fort Edward, three men were sitting near a river.Two of the men were Indians.The other man was a white man.Chingachgook and his son, Uncas, were Mohicans.The white man was a scout called Hawk-eye.Hawk-eye had a long hunting-gun.The three men were talking.'My tribe is the oldest Indian tribe,' Chingachgook said. 'The blood of the Mohican chiefs is in me. Many summer ago, my tribe came here to the land of the Delawares.''Where are the Mohicans now?' asked Hawk-eye.'Where are the flowers of those summers?' said Chingachgook. 'Gone. All dead. After my death, Uncas will be the last of the Mohicans.'Suddenly,they heard a noise.Theyturned quickly.Hawk-eyelifted his gun.'Who is it?' he said.Duncan Heyward rode out of the forest. Cora and Alice followed him.'I am an English officer,' Duncan said. 'We have come from Fort Edward. How far is it to Fort William Henry?'Hawk-eye laughed. 'Fort William Henry?'You are going the wrong way,' he said. 'You are near Glenn's Falls.''The wrong way!' said Duncan. 'Then we are lost. But our Indian guide–' 'You have an Indian guide but you are lost in the forest?' said Hawk-eye. 'That is very strange. Is he a Delaware?''He is called Magua. He is a Huron', said Duncan.'But he lives with the Mohawks, and he is a guide for the Huron!' said Hawk-eye quickly.'You can trust a Mohican or a Delaware. But you cannot trust a Huron! Your guide will lead you to his friends. They will kill you. Let me see him.'Magua was standing behind Cora's horse.Hawk-eye looked at him.Then he went and spoke to Chingachgook and Uncas.Magua moved quickly. He ran into the forest.Hawk-eye,Chingachgook and Uncas ran after him.But Magua escaped.'What can I do?' thought Duncan. 'We are lost.'He turned to Hawk-eye.'Will you take us to Fort William Henry?' he asked. 'We will give you money.'Hawk-eye looked at Cora and Alice.'We will take you,' he told Duncan.'Money is not important. We will not leave you and the two young women here. Magua and his Huron friends will find you. Come now – quickly!'Duncan and Hawk-eye spoke to Cora and Alice.The sisters got off their horses.The Mohicans took the animals away.'They will hide the horses until the morning,' said Hawk-eye.He pulled a canoe from the tall grass at the side of the river.'Get into the canoe,' he said. 'We will go to a cave and we will stay there tonight.'Duncan,Cora and Alice got into the canoe.Hawk-eye pushed the canoe to the middle of the river.Then he got into the canoe.He started to paddle along the river.Soon they heard the sound of a great waterfall in front of them –Glenn's Falls. A few minutes later, they saw the waterfall.Hawk-eye paddled the canoe close to the great waterfall.Alice was afraid. She closed her eyes.Hawk-eye stop the canoe by a large flat rock, Cora, Alice and Duncan got out of the canoe.'Wait on the flat rock, rock I said to them. I will bring the Mohicans.'A few minutes later, Hawk-eye came back with Chingachgook and Uncas.The scout led everybody to a cave behind the waterfall.The cave was deep and narrow and dark.Hawk-eye immediately made a fire.Alice looked at the tall young Mohican, Uncas.'A strong man is guarding us,' she said quietly to her sister. 'We will be safe tonight.'翻译第二章：迷失在森林里在爱德华堡以西几英里的地方，有三个人坐在一条河边。其中两个人是印第安人。另一个人是白人。钦加古和他的儿子乌卡斯都是莫希干人。那个白人是一个名叫鹰眼的侦察兵。鹰眼有一支长长的猎枪。三个人在谈话。“我的部落是最古老的印第安部落，”钦加古说。我身上流着莫希干酋长的血。很多年前的夏天，我的部落来到了特拉华的土地上。”“莫希干人现在在哪儿？”鹰眼问。“那些夏天的花在哪里？”钦加古说。“一去不复返了。都死了。我死后，乌卡斯将是最后一个莫希干人。”突然，他们听到一个声音。他们迅速转过身来。鹰眼举起枪。“是谁？”他说。邓肯·海沃德骑马走出森林。科拉和爱丽丝跟着他。“我是英国军官，”邓肯说。“我们是从爱德华堡来的。到威廉·亨利堡有多远？”鹰眼笑了。“威廉·亨利堡？”“你走错路了，”他说。“你在格伦瀑布附近。”“走错了！”邓肯说。“那么我们就迷路了。但是我们的印第安向导——”“你有一个印第安向导，但你在森林里迷路了？”鹰眼说。“这太奇怪了。他是特拉华人吗？”“他叫马瓜。他是休伦人。”邓肯说。“但他和莫霍克人住在一起，他是休伦人的向导！”鹰眼赶紧说。“你可以信任莫希干人或特拉华州人。但你不能相信休伦人！你的向导会带你去找他的朋友。他们会杀了你的。让我看看他。”马瓜站在科拉的马后面。鹰眼看着他。然后他去找钦加古和乌卡斯谈话。马瓜行动迅速。他跑进了森林。鹰眼、钦加古和乌卡斯跟在他后面。但马瓜逃脱了。“我能怎么办呢？”邓肯想。“我们迷路了。”他转向鹰眼。“你能带我们去威廉·亨利堡吗？”他问。“我们会给你钱的。”鹰眼看着科拉和爱丽丝。“我们带你去，”他对邓肯说。“钱不重要。我们不会把你和那两个年轻女人留在这里。马瓜和他的休伦朋友会找到你的。来吧——快点！”邓肯和鹰眼对科拉和爱丽丝说。姐妹们下了马。莫希干人把动物带走了。“他们会把马藏起来直到明天早上。”鹰眼说。他从河边高高的草丛中拉出一只独木舟。“上独木舟去，”他说。“我们去一个山洞，今晚就在那儿过夜。”邓肯、科拉和爱丽丝上了独木舟。鹰眼把独木舟推到河中央。然后他上了独木舟。他开始沿河划桨。不久，他们听到前面有一个大瀑布的声音——格伦瀑布。几分钟后，他们看到了瀑布。鹰眼划着独木舟靠近大瀑布。爱丽丝很害怕。她闭上了眼睛。鹰眼把独木舟停在一块平坦的大石头旁，科拉、爱丽丝和邓肯下了独木舟。我对他们说，你们站在平坦的磐石上。我会把莫希干人带来。”几分钟后，鹰眼带着钦加古和恩卡斯回来了。侦察员带领大家来到瀑布后面的一个山洞。山洞又深又窄又黑。鹰眼立刻生起了火。爱丽丝看着高大的年轻莫希干人乌卡斯。“一个强壮的男人在保护我们，”她平静地对姐姐说。“今晚我们就安全了。”
