2019专八听力全真模拟练习二十篇

　　[00:22.83]TEST 11

　　[00:26.97]SECTION A MINI-LECTURE

　　[00:29.03]In this section

　　[00:30.73]you will hear a mini-lecture.

　　[00:32.56]You will hear the mini-lecture

　　[00:34.33]ONCE ONLY.

　　[00:35.53]While listening to the mini-lecture,

　　[00:37.79]please complete the gap-filling task

　　[00:40.34]on ANSWER SHEET ONE and write

　　[00:42.38]NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS

　　[00:44.12]for each gap.

　　[00:45.37]Make sure the word(s) you fill in

　　[00:48.90]is (are) both grammatically

　　[00:51.42]and semantically acceptable.

　　[00:53.42]You may use the blank sheet

　　[00:55.63]for note-taking.

　　[00:56.98]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[00:59.26]to preview the gap-filling task.

　　[01:29.25]Now listen to the mini-lecture.

　　[01:33.59]When it is over,

　　[01:34.49]you will be given THREE minutes

　　[01:36.10]to check your work.

　　[01:37.34]English Business Letter Format

　　[01:40.55]Good morning, everyone.

　　[01:42.34]I believe

　　[01:43.47]that some of the English majors

　　[01:45.28]wanna work

　　[01:46.26]for foreign trade companies

　　[01:47.68]after graduation.

　　[01:48.85]So today I will focus on

　　[01:51.56]English business letter format

　　[01:53.81]which is very useful.

　　[01:55.78]When a business

　　[01:57.25]that has letterhead stationery writes

　　[01:59.60]an English business letter,

　　[02:01.01]paper with the printed letterhead

　　[02:02.76]is used as the first page

　　[02:05.19]and sheets of matching quality

　　[02:07.26]and color without the letterhead

　　[02:09.33]are used as succeeding pages,

　　[02:12.04]if any.

　　[02:13.14]A business with very good quality

　　[02:15.20]printing might generate

　　[02:16.73]the letterhead graphic

　　[02:17.94]with an image embedded

　　[02:19.76]in a word processor document.

　　[02:22.47]An individual normally

　　[02:23.84]won't use letterhead stationery

　　[02:25.75]and won't attempt to fake it.

　　[02:28.18]An attempt at letterhead

　　[02:29.61]that produces a tacky result or

　　[02:31.82]that conveys pompousness

　　[02:33.85]produces effects

　　[02:35.46]that you want to avoid.

　　[02:37.20]In an English business letter,

　　[02:39.09]everything

　　[02:40.06]that you"type"should be

　　[02:41.72]in the same typeface

　　[02:43.08]and in the same size.

　　[02:45.07]You should use"formal English"

　　[02:47.62]and you should check your grammar

　　[02:49.36]and spelling very carefully.

　　[02:51.71]You should arrange things neatly.

　　[02:53.49]You should consider the space

　　[02:55.49]between lines and paragraphs.

　　[02:57.96]In a conventional

　　[02:59.24]English business letter

　　[03:00.68]you should see these parts

　　[03:02.52]from the top to the bottom.

　　[03:04.19]The first part is return address.

　　[03:07.78]This item is the postal address

　　[03:10.44]of the author of the letter.

　　[03:12.03]Each line of it is left justified.

　　[03:14.84]Normally the return address

　　[03:17.07]is at the top of the page,

　　[03:18.80]but you can move it down a little

　　[03:20.96]to improve over-all appearance.

　　[03:23.08]Do not put e-mail addresses here—

　　[03:26.12]if you need to convey

　　[03:27.45]an e-mail address,

　　[03:28.92]do it in the body of the letter.

　　[03:30.80]The second part

　　[03:32.36]is the date of the letter.

　　[03:34.00]It is aligned with the return address.

　　[03:36.91]Formerly there was a single space

　　[03:39.24]between the return address

　　[03:40.93]and the date,

　　[03:41.80]but some current styles

　　[03:43.38]allow double spaces.

　　[03:45.24]The third item is inside address.

　　[03:49.00]It involves the full name

　　[03:50.85]of the intended recipient

　　[03:52.29]of the letter and

　　[03:53.76]that person's postal address.

　　[03:55.95]Each line of the inside address

　　[03:58.76]is justified at the left margin.

　　[04:01.13]No e-mail address appears here.

　　[04:04.09]You can put blank lines

　　[04:06.04]between the date

　　[04:07.23]and the inside address

　　[04:08.56]to fill the page better

　　[04:10.40]and to improve the appearance.

　　[04:12.83]Next comes the salutation.

　　[04:15.29]Use the same name

　　[04:16.98]as the inside address,

　　[04:18.96]including the title.

　　[04:20.43]If the addressee is not a friend,

　　[04:22.95]you should write "Dear Mr. Brown,"

　　[04:25.32]or "Dear Mrs. Smith,"

　　[04:27.65]or "Dear Ms. Jones," or the like.

　　[04:30.94]A letter to a close associate

　　[04:33.15]might use

　　[04:33.87]"Dear Mike," or "Dear Sally,".

　　[04:35.97]There is at least one space

　　[04:38.26]between the inside address

　　[04:40.23]and the salutation.

　　[04:41.65]You can put a little more

　　[04:43.29]to improve the over-all appearance.

　　[04:45.53]The fifth part is the core

　　[04:47.72]of the letter—the body.

　　[04:49.43]The body is single spaced.

　　[04:52.13]Ordinarily the body contains

　　[04:54.13]more than one paragraph.

　　[04:55.98]Avoid both extremely short

　　[04:58.37]and very long paragraphs.

　　[05:00.52]You can use

　　[05:01.74]either indented paragraphs,

　　[05:03.56]in which the first line is indented

　　[05:06.09]more than the rest,

　　[05:07.26]or block paragraphs,

　　[05:09.39]in which all lines begin

　　[05:11.01]at the left margin.

　　[05:12.49]With block paragraphs you

　　[05:14.54]must leave extra space

　　[05:16.07]between paragraphs—

　　[05:17.56]one blank line or one

　　[05:19.59]"empty paragraph"

　　[05:20.79]is often used,

　　[05:22.46]but you can also

　　[05:23.63]use Word's extra space

　　[05:25.44]before or after paragraphs;

　　[05:27.81]the extra space should probably

　　[05:29.99]not exceed the size

　　[05:31.58]of an empty paragraph.

　　[05:33.40]With indented paragraphs,

　　[05:35.38]extra space between paragraphs

　　[05:37.64]is common,

　　[05:38.76]but optional.

　　[05:40.37]Indented paragraphs

　　[05:41.86]should be avoided

　　[05:43.17]if the return address was aligned

　　[05:45.63]at the left margin.

　　[05:46.85]Special effects like bulleted lists

　　[05:50.00]and paragraphs

　　[05:50.98]whose left and right edges

　　[05:52.48]are both indented

　　[05:53.73]should be used very sparingly—

　　[05:56.34]avoid them as much as you can.

　　[05:58.48]Likewise, consider

　　[06:00.39]whether having your paragraphs

　　[06:02.10]fully justified, i.e.

　　[06:04.56]both left and right edges squared off,

　　[06:07.17]will make the letter look too much

　　[06:09.41]like a form letter

　　[06:10.53]or a piece of junk mail.

　　[06:12.52]What comes sixth is the closing.

　　[06:15.13]This item is something like

　　[06:17.00]"Yours truly," or "Sincerely,".

　　[06:19.31]It is normally vertically

　　[06:21.05]aligned with the return address.

　　[06:23.43]Next item is the printed name

　　[06:25.47]of the author,

　　[06:26.77]which is aligned with

　　[06:27.85]the return address,

　　[06:29.04]the date, and the closing.

　　[06:30.83]Leave enough space above it

　　[06:32.52]for signature.

　　[06:33.94]If you have a job title

　　[06:35.60]and this letter is being written

　　[06:37.04]as part of

　　[06:37.87]that job, it is common

　　[06:39.53]to type the job title

　　[06:41.07]directly below the printed name.

　　[06:43.29]An individual writing a letter

　　[06:45.45]normally doesn't include

　　[06:46.87]a job-title line.

　　[06:48.44]Finally, if you are supplying copies

　　[06:51.91]to people other than the addressee,

　　[06:53.63]it is common to put a "cc"

　　[06:55.93]list at the bottom of the last page—

　　[06:59.12]"cc" originally stood for

　　[07:01.85]"carbon copy to".

　　[07:03.91]If someone

　　[07:04.73]other than yourself typed the letter,

　　[07:06.80]you will include your initials

　　[07:08.65]in capital letters

　　[07:09.90]followed by the typist's initials

　　[07:12.43]in lower case.

　　[07:13.93]if there are enclosures,

　　[07:15.70]that fact is often noted there too.

　　[07:18.27]Furthermore,

　　[07:19.96]your instructor may have told you

　　[07:21.75]not to use a template.

　　[07:23.37]Do what your instructor told you.

　　[07:25.61]Many of MS-Word's templates

　　[07:27.95]appear to have been created more

　　[07:29.68]to show off weird

　　[07:31.20]or fancy effects than

　　[07:33.44]to produce a well-done product

　　[07:35.52]useful to the ordinary user.

　　[07:37.76]Some of Word's templates

　　[07:39.87]encourage you

　　[07:40.49]to produce a tacky document—

　　[07:42.88]resist the temptation.

　　[07:44.36]If you're using Word 97,

　　[07:47.01]our friend"Office Bob"

　　[07:49.25]may pop up

　　[07:50.66]when you type the letter's salutation.

　　[07:52.52]if your instructor told you

　　[07:54.68]not to use templates,

　　[07:55.89]decline"Office Bob's offer of help".

　　[07:59.35]OK, today's lecture is over.

　　[08:02.54]I hope it will

　　[08:03.74]enable you to know exactly

　　[08:05.44]how to write a business letter.

　　[08:07.57]Next lecture will be held

　　[08:09.64]on Monday.

　　[08:09.79]See you then.

　　[08:11.22]Now, you have THREE minutes

　　[08:13.50]to check your work.

　　[11:14.11]This is the end

　　[11:14.87]of Section A Mini-lecture.

　　[11:17.36]SECTION B INTERVIEW

　　[11:19.89]In this section

　　[11:21.14]you will hear ONE interview.

　　[11:23.14]The interview will be

　　[11:24.78]divided into TWO parts.

　　[11:26.23]At the end of each part,

　　[11:28.10]five questions will be

　　[11:29.72]asked about what was said.

　　[11:31.72]Both the interview

　　[11:33.11]and the questions

　　[11:34.68]will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

　　[11:36.24]After each question

　　[11:38.39]there will be

　　[11:39.23]a ten-second pause.

　　[11:40.97]During the pause,

　　[11:42.05]you should read

　　[11:43.43]the four choices

　　[11:44.62]of A, B, C and D,

　　[11:46.90]and mark the best answer

　　[11:48.58]to each question

　　[11:49.97]on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

　　[11:51.87]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[11:53.75]to preview the questions.

　　[12:25.51]Now, listen to Part One

　　[12:26.87]of the interview.

　　[12:28.11]Questions 1 to 5

　　[12:30.08]are based on

　　[12:31.04]Part One of the interview.

　　[12:32.95]M: With the hassles of life

　　[12:35.65]and other tough hours in the day,

　　[12:37.39]more and more people

　　[12:39.01]are getting by on less and less sleep.

　　[12:41.81]What can you do

　　[12:43.01]to get more effective rest?

　　[12:44.88]Joining us now is

　　[12:46.25]Dr. Joanne Getsy,

　　[12:48.29]medical director

　　[12:49.31]of the Drexel Sleep Center.

　　[12:50.78]Dr. Getsy,

　　[12:52.06]welcome!

　　[12:53.29]W: Good morning!

　　[12:54.21]M: Good to have you here.

　　[12:55.74]We talk about insomnious people

　　[12:58.67]who can't seem to get to sleep.

　　[13:00.60]But there are also some people,

　　[13:02.88]including me,

　　[13:04.01]who just don't sleep

　　[13:05.63]because we're just too busy.

　　[13:07.85]I meant to go to bed

　　[13:09.37]at nine last night.

　　[13:11.33]It was 22:30

　　[13:13.49]before I climbed into bed.

　　[13:15.42]So how do you separate the two?

　　[13:17.94]W: Oh, I think most people

　　[13:19.93]who complain of trouble sleeping

　　[13:21.69]are really in your category.

　　[13:23.73]There is just the 24-hour world,

　　[13:26.81]but we have too much to do,

　　[13:28.77]so there is just not enough time

　　[13:30.98]for sleep.

　　[13:32.28]And I think the important thing is

　　[13:33.98]that people don't understand

　　[13:35.82]the importance of sleep.

　　[13:37.62]You know,

　　[13:38.73]we exercise and we eat right

　　[13:40.93]and we try to do

　　[13:42.09]what is right for us.

　　[13:43.99]But we forget

　　[13:45.54]that sleep is as important

　　[13:47.25]as all of those things.

　　[13:48.43]M: It is not a luxury.

　　[13:51.16]It's a health thing.

　　[13:52.25]Many people don't realize that,

　　[13:54.36]however.

　　[13:55.49]The National Institute of Health says

　　[13:57.49]10% to 15% of the general population

　　[14:01.50]struggles with chronic insomnia.

　　[14:03.66]And some of those people

　　[14:05.40]do fall into the category of,

　　[14:07.51]they can't sleep,

　　[14:08.81]as much as they try,

　　[14:10.20]they can't.

　　[14:11.38]W: That's right!

　　[14:12.45]And when we see them

　　[14:14.01]at sleep centers,

　　[14:15.19]we can usually determine

　　[14:17.11]from what they tell us

　　[14:18.46]whether they really have insomnia

　　[14:20.37]and have trouble sleeping

　　[14:21.76]from a true sleep disorder

　　[14:23.75]or whether they just can't seem

　　[14:25.55]to find the time for sleep.

　　[14:27.36]M: Alright.

　　[14:29.08]Primary insomnia, again,

　　[14:31.39]are people who can't sleep enough

　　[14:33.88]because of the health condition.

　　[14:36.16]But they simply can't get to sleep.

　　[14:38.78]You have got some advice for them,

　　[14:41.07]including "To stay asleep,

　　[14:43.15]you must stay awake."

　　[14:44.67]W: Yes! The important thing is

　　[14:46.98]to keep a schedule.

　　[14:48.37]People who have trouble sleeping

　　[14:50.41]really need to keep the schedule

　　[14:52.17]where they schedule

　　[14:53.40]when their sleep is going to be.

　　[14:55.46]We must try to find the time

　　[14:57.47]when we're going to be asleep

　　[14:59.05]and the time

　　[15:00.08]when we must stay awake.

　　[15:01.57]M: Even in fact I'm not tired

　　[15:04.14]until 3 a.m.?

　　[15:05.84]W: Then you go to bed at 3 a.m.

　　[15:08.10]M: Go to bed at 3 a.m.?

　　[15:10.63]And then get up

　　[15:11.93]and go to work at 7 or 8 a.m.?

　　[15:14.49]W: Exactly!

　　[15:15.65]We make a schedule

　　[15:16.60]and that means

　　[15:17.85]there is no point in lying in bed

　　[15:19.92]awake for 2 hours.

　　[15:21.33]Your mind wants to see production.

　　[15:23.80]M: You say "Set a bedtime."

　　[15:26.41]and "Don't lie awake in bed."

　　[15:28.50]W: Absolutely right!

　　[15:30.28]M: And also "Persevere."

　　[15:32.66]This is the end of

　　[15:34.95]Part One of the interview.

　　[15:37.13]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

　　[15:39.69]what you have just heard.

　　[15:42.17]1. What is the topic

　　[15:44.61]of the interview?

　　[15:55.58]2. Why do most people have trouble

　　[15:58.90]sleeping?

　　[16:09.67]3. Which of the following suggestions

　　[16:12.97]is NOT given to those

　　[16:14.65]with primary insomnia?

　　[16:25.30]4. When does Dr. Getsy advise people

　　[16:30.35]with trouble sleeping to sleep?

　　[16:42.62]5. According to Dr. Getsy,

　　[16:45.70]what should the man do

　　[16:47.36]if he isn't tired until 3 a.m.?

　　[17:00.33]Now, listen to Part Two

　　[17:01.79]of the interview.

　　[17:03.26]Questions 6 to 10

　　[17:04.50]are based on

　　[17:05.59]Part Two of the interview.

　　[17:07.50]W: Well. It's hard, you know.

　　[17:10.28]M: So, this isn't going to be

　　[17:12.76]an overnight change.

　　[17:14.48]W: Trying to learn to sleep

　　[17:15.85]is a long process

　　[17:17.21]and it takes a lot of dedication.

　　[17:19.40]You have to stick with it.

　　[17:21.26]And don't give up.

　　[17:22.61]M: And so this is someone

　　[17:24.09]who's going to really stick

　　[17:25.52]with the program.

　　[17:26.57]You tell them from the beginning

　　[17:28.64]that this is not going to be…

　　[17:30.05]It's like a boot camp, isn't it?

　　[17:32.92]W: It isn't like a boot camp.

　　[17:34.74]It's a lot like quitting smoking

　　[17:36.68]or drinking or whatever else.

　　[17:38.97]You have to really put the time in it.

　　[17:41.29]If people are ready,

　　[17:42.90]it would work,

　　[17:43.97]though not easy.

　　[17:45.14]M: Let's talk about something you call

　　[17:47.66]"sleep hygiene"—

　　[17:49.00]the tips you say

　　[17:49.82]anyone can use

　　[17:51.22]to improve their habits.

　　[17:52.77]No.1, "Make sleep a priority."

　　[17:55.96]W: Well, that's hard.

　　[17:57.52]I mean

　　[17:58.33]we have so many responsibilities

　　[18:00.48]in the world.

　　[18:01.32]But if you find

　　[18:02.71]that your sleeplessness

　　[18:04.09]is disturbing the way you feel

　　[18:05.82]during the day,

　　[18:06.78]you have to make it a priority.

　　[18:08.88]M: And then

　　[18:09.71]"Make your bedroom comfortable."

　　[18:11.59]Are we talking about mattresses

　　[18:13.91]and pillows or lighting?

　　[18:15.73]W: Well, both! I mean,

　　[18:17.45]all of the above

　　[18:18.83]need to be comfortable and cozy.

　　[18:20.96]You shouldn't have your computer

　　[18:22.82]in your bedroom

　　[18:23.86]or be paying your bills

　　[18:25.50]while you are lying in bed.

　　[19:28.74]and wake up feeling worse

　　[19:30.47]instead of better.
