2019英语专四听力训练conversation8篇


  [00:01.56]SECTION B CONVERSATIONS

  [00:04.86]In this section you will hear two conversations.

  [00:08.88]At the end of each conversation,

  [00:11.22]five questions will be asked about what was said.

  [00:15.38]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken once only.

  [00:21.37]After each question there will be a ten-second pause.

  [00:26.04]During the pause, you should read the four choices of A, B, C and D,

  [00:33.46]and mark the best answer to each question on Answer Sheet Two.

  [00:39.51]You have 30 seconds to preview the questions.

  [01:13.12]Now, listen to the conversations.

  [01:16.85]CONVERSATION ONE

  [01:19.46]Questions 1 to 5 are based on Conversation One.

  [01:23.90]W: Welcome to today's program.

  [01:26.52]Today we have the CEO of Google. Glad to see you here, Larry.

  [01:32.01]M: Me too, thanks for having me.

  [01:34.87]W: You have mentioned employees before, and their rights.

  [01:38.20]What is your stance on robot rights?

  [01:41.72]M: This is a complex issue,

  [01:44.17]and one that hasn't really been solved during the last decade.

  [01:48.39]We apply the Marissa Test

  [01:50.69]named after our Ex-User Experience Vice President.

  [01:54.41]Our experts will tell the machine a really very sad story

  [01:59.57]and if the machine starts to cry,

  [02:01.99]we will give it "human" rights like payments, off-days and so on.

  [02:07.50]By the way, they don't like to be called robots.

  [02:11.38]W: Really? Why not?

  [02:14.14]M: They like to be called robotic persons, that's all.

  [02:19.05]Some of these machines can be quite sensitive.

  [02:21.96]It's part of our philosophy to support this.

  [02:25.12]W: Has the robotic strike two years ago

  [02:27.73]hit your company as hard as others?

  [02:30.74]M: Maybe. Maybe even harder.

  [02:33.45]We have the biggest robotic personnel in the USA.

  [02:37.30]Only the Chinese beat us at that,

  [02:39.81]but then again, they beat us mostly at anything these days.

  [02:43.46]As opposed to a human strike,

  [02:46.21]a robotic personnel strike is really more like,

  [02:49.52]"Hey, they're actually off."

  [02:51.67]You can't even talk to them, discuss things.

  [02:55.24]We do believe in minimum wage for RPs, we really do.

  [02:59.55]W: By the way,

  [03:00.88]were you surprised at Marissa's running for President?

  [03:04.55]M: She's an incredibly bright and talented woman.

  [03:07.93]We wish her all the best, from all of us.

  [03:10.89]W: One question people ask over and over during the last 30 years.

  [03:15.90]Is it really important that you still have a focus on the search?

  [03:20.65]So many companies have come up with

  [03:22.41]different ideas and different technologies.

  [03:25.91]M: The more knowledge we collect,

  [03:27.71]the more important it becomes, actually.

  [03:30.47]It's simply the only means of navigating such a huge body of data.

  [03:35.68]We've played around with many concepts during the last years,

  [03:39.89]most importantly the personal information agent.

  [03:43.75]That was our single most successful product after search.

  [03:48.11]W: I found it fascinating these days,

  [03:50.68]you can have conversations with the Google search box

  [03:54.18]like it would be your best friend.

  [03:56.63]M: Exactly.

  [03:57.75]This was the stuff we wanted to have there from beginning.

  [04:01.81]Some of us thought it would take us 300 years,

  [04:05.12]but they didn't include robotic personnel

  [04:08.02]working for us into the calculation.

  [04:10.78]This changes the whole game.

  [04:13.48]W: Some said that when you gave away robots for free,

  [04:17.65]you were destroying the robots industry at large.

  [04:21.46]M: We really don't think so.

  [04:23.52]I mean we only want to serve our users. That's our goal.

  [04:28.51]Questions 1 to 5 are based on Conversation One.

  [04:33.57]1. What does Larry think about robot rights?

  [04:48.41]2. What can we learn from the conversation about robots?

  [05:04.00]3. What did Larry say about Google's focus on search?

  [05:19.68]4. What can we learn from the conversation

  [05:23.87]about the Google search box?

  [05:35.91]5. What did Larry think of giving away robots for free?

  [05:51.30]This is the end of Conversation One.

  [05:54.91]CONVERSATION TWO

  [05:57.37]Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.

  [06:01.73]W: With all your experience of interviewing,

  [06:04.44]Michael, how can you tell

  [06:06.49]if somebody is going to make a good interviewer?

  [06:09.90]M: Oh, I say, what a question! I've never been asked that before.

  [06:15.11]I think that the prerequisite obviously is curiosity.

  [06:19.37]The people who have done my job

  [06:21.32]failed to have been good interviewers

  [06:23.38]because basically they've not been journalists.

  [06:26.73]Um, my training was in journalism.

  [06:29.84]I've been 26 years a journalist

  [06:32.70]and to be a journalist means that you like meeting people,

  [06:36.41]and also you want to find out about them.

  [06:39.42]So that's the prerequisite.

  [06:41.48]After that, I think there's something else that comes into it, into play,

  [06:45.95]and I think, again, most successful journalists have it---

  [06:50.41]it's a kind of affinity with people, it's an ability to get on with people.

  [06:55.38]W: When you've done an interview yourself,

  [06:58.14]how do you feel whether it's been a good interview

  [07:01.15]or not a good interview?

  [07:03.61]M: I can never really tell on air.

  [07:05.82]I have to watch it back,

  [07:07.48]because television depends so much

  [07:08.92]on your director getting the right shot, the right reaction.

  [07:13.38]W: How do you bring out the best in people,

  [07:16.24]because you always seem to manage to,

  [07:18.79]not only relax them,

  [07:20.34]but somehow get right into the depths of them.

  [07:24.06]M: By research, by knowing,

  [07:26.26]when you go into a television studio,

  [07:28.17]more about the guests in front of you

  [07:30.23]than they've forgotten about themselves.

  [07:32.80]And, I mean that's pure research.

  [07:35.76]I mean, you probably use… in a 20-minute interview,

  [07:39.47]I probably use a 20th of the research material that I've absorbed,

  [07:44.34]but that's what you're gonna have to do.

  [07:46.67]If anybody ever tries to tell you that as an interviewer just starting,

  [07:51.19]that you wing it, there's no such thing.

  [07:54.25]It's all preparation.

  [07:56.86]W: And does that include sticking to written questions?

  [08:00.42]M: No, I mean what you do is you have an aide memoir.

  [08:04.84]I have, my… my list of questions aren't questions as such,

  [08:09.90]they're areas that I block out.

  [08:12.81]W: Have you got a last word of encouragement

  [08:15.16]for any young people setting out on

  [08:17.62]what they'd like to be in a career as an interviewer?

  [08:21.23]M: I envy them, I mean, I really do.

  [08:23.91]I mean I'd go back and do it all again.

  [08:27.23]I think it's the most perfect job for any young person

  [08:31.00]who's got talent and ambition and energy.

  [08:34.12]And the nice thing about it is

  [08:36.03]that the proportion of talent is only five percent;

  [08:40.09]the other 95 percent is energy and no examinations to pass.

  [08:45.71]I'd love to do it over again.

  [08:48.51]Questions 6 to 10 are based on Conversation Two.

  [08:53.32]6. According to the man, what makes a good interviewer?

  [09:09.31]7. How does the man feel

  [09:12.57]whether an interview done by him is good or not?

  [09:26.17]8. How does the man bring out the best in the interviewees?

  [09:41.51]9. What questions are on the man's list?

  [09:56.08]10. According to the man,

  [09:59.89]what is the nice thing about being an interviewer?

  [10:13.13]This is the end of Conversation Two.
