● Text 5 M:I'm trying to get in touch with Jane.There is an urgent email for her.Do you have her number? W:Yeah.I have her business card.Here you are. M:Thanks.Hmm...The line is busy-I'll try again later. Text 6 W:What a poor kitty!Where did you find it? M:I saw it on my way home.I want to take care of it,but my daughter is allergic to cats.What's more,I have some goldfish.I'm afraid it will eat them someday. That's why I brought it to you.Do you want this cat? W:Well,I have five cats in my house.I can't really spare more time for this one.But one of my friends often vis- its me to see my cats.She has two dogs.Maybe she can keep it. M:That's great.Please tell her about this poor little thing. Text 7 M:Have you noticed the empty land outside our office win- dow?It's been a vacant lot since I started working here in June.Not even a single construction worker can be seen. W:Yeah,it's November now.In fact,it's been vacant since February.There used to be several small shops.After the construction of several office buildings,the shops were pulled down. M:Then will it be a subway station?Line 5 is under con- struction. W:It's hardly likely.The sites of Line 5 have already been decided. M:Well,I hope a mall can be built there so that we can get some food or coffee during our lunch break. W:Who knows?Maybe by the time it's built,we'll have already left here. Text 8 M:Amanda,what was your childhood dream? W:Well,nothing special.A teacher,a nurse,or a dancer, that sort of thing. M:I see.My daughter Melinda said she wants to be a sol- dier.① W:Oh,where did she get this idea? M:From some TV series,I suppose.My son Matthew liked watching dramas about the army,while Melinda enjoyed watching cartoons.And they argued a lot over which TV program to watch.But lately,Melinda has become a fan of those dramas as well.The female sol- diers attract her so much. W:It sounds like Matthew plays an important role in influen- cing Melinda's opinion. M:The problem is Melinda was born with poor eyesight. W:It doesn't matter.Childhood dreams are changeable.All we need to do is always stand by our kids. ·1 …录音原文 Text 9 W:Hey,David,what are you going to do during the spring break? M:I don't know.I don't have any plans yet. W:Well,Lisa George and I are planning to go up to the mountains for three days. M:That sounds like fun.I might join you guys.How are you going to get there. W:We're going to hire a car.There's a campsite where we can rent a large tent.It's almost like a little house. Have you been there before? M:No,I haven't.But we have a lot of work to do. W:Well,we'll only be gone three days.And when you come back,you'll be relaxed and ready to study again. I've been up there twice.After the first trip there I was like a new person,totally refreshed mentally and physical- ly,so I decided to go there again.And that's why I sug- gest you g0 with us..® M:Let me think it over.I'll phone you to let you know tonight. Text 10 Good morning,boys and girls.Today for our natural sci- ence class,I'd like to share my volunteer experience on an island.I do volunteer work in a local organization once a year.My volunteer work doesn't involve cleaning up the trash on the beach or saving plants and animals in the sea.Actually,I go there to help grow trees on the island. Those trees on the island play a key role in preventing soil erosion.The trees there,especially near the sea,are different from the trees in our city.They need to be some special kinds of trees.Ordinary trees may not be able to adapt to salty soils and strong sea winds and waves.Ev- ery time we plant a tree in an area,we have to confirm the depth and salinity of the groundwater in advance. That's because these data may change greatly over time. And to our surprise,a certain type of tree can be friends or enemies to another.So,let's get to know about the magical relationships between them in today's class. UNIT 3 FOOD AND CULTURE Week Five Monday 单元话题专项训练一 听力原文 Text 1 M:Did you have a good time in Japan,Lily? W:Yes,I have visited many beautiful places and met many interesting people,but I still couldn't understand why they eat raw food. 博朗英语听力Ⅱ… Text 2 M:Thank you.I am glad to come to a Chinese restaurant. Could you tell me the different features of Chinese food? W:In general,Fujian food is a bit sweet;Hunan food is much more oily;and Sichuan dishes are very spicy,hav- ing a strong and hot taste.There are so many kinds of foods in China. Text 3 M:Bobby,can you stop talking when your mouth is full?And can you sit up in your chair,please? W:And how many times have your father and I told you? Don't eat with your hands! Text 4 W:My family had dinner together on Chinese New Year's Eve.We ate many special foods. M:What else did you do? W:After dinner,we watched TV and played games. Text 5 M:I'm a little bit nervous about living with my Chinese host family next week. W:Me,too.It's challenging to speak Chinese all the time. M:I don't worry about that.I can speak good Chinese.My biggest challenge is to learn basic table manners. Text 6 W:What kind of food do you often eat? M:I always have Italian food,Indian food and Chinese food. W:What's your favourite food? M:I love Chinese food best. W:What's your favourite dish? M:Well,I always order fried spring rolls when I go to Chi- natown. W:But a Chinese person would never order that. M:Really?But they're delicious! W:Alex,you don't know what to order.Let's go to a Chinese restaurant together. M:That sounds great. W:Get ready for the best meal of your life! Text 7 W:So,I heard that Iran is very famous for its coffee. M:Well,not coffee actually,the tea. W:The tea?What is special about it? M:Well,we are very much picky(挑剔的)about the color of the tea.Everybody orders differently.Some people want colored strong tea.Some people don't want it that strong. W:So,I guess you've got a lot of tea shops. M:Yeah,yeah,we have traditional ones,which are very interesting for the tourists I believe.You go in and you sit down,no chairs there,and it's actually cushions just behind you,so you can lie on these cushions. ·1 Text 8 W:Chris,I would like to know,what kind of food you eat in Belgium. M:We have our fish,our meat,our wines,our fruit... W:I mean what is popular about Belgian food? M:Well,it's a bit different in Belgium as I think it is here in New York.We really enjoy the tables.We don't go out for dinner that often but when we go out,we stay at a table for three or four hours.It starts with appetizers, then it may be a soup,then it's the main dish,then it's still an ice-cream or something. W:It takes so much time to have dinner in your country! M:Yeah.We really enjoy eating and it goes slow.Last winter,a friend from Portugal went to Belgium with me.For Christmas dinner,we met at 5:30 and then we started with some drinks.I think we ate from 6 o'clock in the afternoon till 12 o'clock that night. W:Wow!You must be fat there if you eat that much. M:In fact,we don't.We don't do it that often,but if we do,then of course the next day or the next few days you see people just don't eat much. Text 9 W:We're talking with Yang Wei,who just returned home to China after living in San Francisco for one year.What would you say is the biggest difference between your life in America and your life in China? M:I guess the most obvious one would be the food culture. In Beijing,people eat out a lot,and people tend to be much more loud and outgoing in restaurants.For exam- ple,in China,it is common to see people drinking and talking loudly in the middle of a restaurant.In America, however,people like to enjoy a quiet meal.If you are too loud,the waiter might come over to your table and remind you to keep it down,and they would certainly not serve you drink if you appeared drunk. W:What about the variety of food? M:This is where America might have the advantage. Although Chinese food is unbelievably varied,I would have to say that the quality of food from all over the world is better in the States.While there are many Afri- cans,Europeans,and North Americans in China,there are even fewer people from the Middle East,South America,and the Caribbean.As a result,it is harder to find really good food from those areas.But America has always been a country of immigrants(移民)，so this is one area in which it just might be No.1 in the world. W:Interestingly.Why don't we take some questions from the audience?⑩ 8 ● Text 10 Foreigners joining a Chinese dinner party should know and follow Chinese table manners.Before dinner,you some- times get a hot,damp cloth,with which you can clean your face and hands.It is a custom in China to have some tea or other drinks before the meal is served.First,some cold dishes are provided,which are placed on a round glass plate in the middle of the table.Rice or noodles are served and should not be mixed with other food.Chinese people prefer using chopsticks instead of forks and knives.At a dinner party,Chinese people enjoy drinking beer or alcohol.Everybody gets up,raises their glasses and touches the others'glasses,saying "Ganbei"! Tuesday 高考仿真进阶训练一 听力原文 Text 1 W:There is a limit of three books for each person.Do you still want to have them? M:That's fine.Thanks.I'll be certain to return them on time. Text 2 W:I hate writing term papers!It takes forever! M:You're lucky.When I was young,we didn't have comput- ers.We used to write our papers on typewriters. Text 3 W:I'm not feeling very well. M:Shall I go with you to see the doctor? W:I can go to the hospital myself.Would you please inform the teacher I won't be able to come to his class today? M:No problem. Text 4 W:So you finally listened to your wife's demand and gave up smoking? M:It was my doctor's advice.I was suffering from high blood pressure. Text 5 M:I like Denmark. W:But we flew there last year.I prefer taking a ship to Greece for a change.Shall we go to a small village in the south?Look,what about this? M:Very nice,and it looks quiet. Text 6 W:You look sick M:I have a cold.In fact,this is the first cold I've had in years. W:Still,summer is the worst time of year to have a cold. But whatever you do,care about it. M:Well,I can't very well stay in bed.Who would take care of the shop?And Tuesday is the best day for custom- ers. ·14 录音原文 W:But I should remind you that when you give a customer a haircut,your customer might catch a cold. M:Yeah.I'd like to pick up some medicine on the way to the bank. W:No hurry.Tom.The bank doesn't open until 9:00 a.m. Text 7 M:Hey,Mary,what are you doing? W:I'm taking a break and getting some sun. M:It must be nice to work at home. W:Sure it is.I get to make my own timetable.But it does get a little quiet sometimes.How's your job going, Mike? M:I'm a little bored.I'm thinking about doing Web design at home.But I worry that if I work at home,it'll be diffi- cult to concentrate my attention. W:That's not a big problem for me.Some days I don't feel like working,but then I tell myself that writing is the job I love.If my book does well,I'll be able to save some extra money.Then I can take a real break and go some- where exciting. Text 8 W:Hello.I'm calling about the apartment you advertised in the newspaper. M:Hello.What kind of apartment would you like to pick? W:I'm interested in a one-bedroom. M:I have one.When do you need to move in? W:Sometime around next week.What can you tell me about this apartment？ M:Well,the rent is $650 a month.You pay electricity and water.Gas is included.Both the heat and the stove are gas.There is a TV set and you can surf the Internet if you have a computer.And you'll get a parking space at no extra charge.And...that's probably it. W:Sounds good.May I come over tomorrow to take a 10ok?® M:Sure.What time would you like to come? W:How about 10:00? M:Good. Text 9 M:Did you see that programme on BBC1?It was called 50 Places to Go before You Die. W:No.So,what was Number 1? M:Number 1 was the Grand Canyon.Number 2 was the Great Barrier Reef,then Disney World was third...and I think the South Island in New Zealand was fourth. W:Was it?That's where Rob and I are going on holiday! M:Lucky you! W:Yeah,we're setting off on Saturday. M:How long are you going for? W:Two weeks. 9·博朗英语听力川 UNIT 3 FOOD AND CULTURE Week Five Monday 单元话题专项训练一 听力，给顺利答卷开个好头 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间 来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话读两遍。 器扫碑听听打 1.What does Lily think of eating raw food? 话题词汇·听前清障 A.Harmful.
