范文二:4级英语听力短文
Passage One
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you’ll find it interesting learning how to be fashionable without spending too much money.
Sure, some famous stars always look stylist. They have unlimited clothing budgets that put the latest looks at their fingertips! But you can also look amazing without spending __1_______ money on your wardrobe. Simply try the following suggestions on for size.
First, make seasonal purchases; that is, you should buy winter coats, leather jackets, bathing suits, and summer dresses at ____2___ of the season. You’ll get major ____3___ as you stock up for the next year.
If you want clothes to wear right now, go to discount stores. They may not be the place to buy an expensive evening dress, but they’re perfect for buying things like ___4___.
There is yet another cheap way to buy stylist clothes. Many department stores have store brands, which offer current styles but are much cheaper than ____5_____.
To save money, an important principle is not to buy “outfits”. With the exception of suits, _____6_____ are more affordable.
Wear-with-anything pieces are always a good buy. For example, you can almost always wear a pair of _____7___ and a white dress shirt; you can wear them __8______ a week, paired with different accessories. Accessories such as nice shoes and fashionable bags make even the __9____ outfit look polished.
Finally, a great haircut always helps. When your hair looks fabulous, you look more ____10_____.
Passage Two
A natural disaster is the consequence of a hazardous event, occurring when human activities are affected by adverse natural phenomena such as flood, drought, hailstorm, heat wave, ___1_____ , hurricane, typhoon, tornado, tsunami, ___2____ and mudslide, or volcanic eruption. The scale of the resulting deaths or property damage depends on the human ability to resist the disasters. Sometimes two seemingly different disasters may be related to each other. For example, an ___3____ earthquake may ___4____ a tsunami. While there is a long ___5____ in one area, there may be a great __6___ in another.
A drought is a long-lasting weather pattern consisting of dry conditions with very little or no precipitation. During this period, food and ___7____ can run low, and other conditions, such as __8___, can occur. Droughts can last for several years and are particularly damaging in areas in which the residents depend on ___9___ for survival.
A flood follows too much rain or water in a location, and could be the result of many different conditions. Floods can be caused by ___10_____ from a storm, including thunderstorms, rapid melting of large amounts of snow, or rivers which swell from too much precipitation upstream, causing widespread damage to areas downstream. Another possible cause of floods is the bursting of man-made dams.
Passage Three
Are you worried because you have just broken a mirror? Some people believe that breaking a mirror is a ___1___ thing to do. They say it will bring you seven years of ___2___. The reason behind this belief stems from the old idea that a person’s soul is in their ____3___, so if you smash your mirror, your soul will be ___4___ too, dooming you to an early death, and not giving
you entry to __5____. Is there any way to reverse this bad luck? Yes, if you very carefully __6_____ all the broken pieces of the mirror and throw them into a river or stream, then the bad luck will be “____7____”.
Of all numbers, 13 is the most associated with bad luck. Some people claim that the number is bad luck because 13 people sat down for the Last Supper before Jesus was crucified(钉十字架 ), and with this in mind few ___8__ will serve dinner with 13 at the table. And according to an ancient Norwegian tale, 12 gods had ___9___ for a feast when a 13th , Loki, entered. After the meal, Loki killed Baldr, who was the most ___10___ of all the gods.
Friday the 13th of any month is considered especially bad or unlucky, and Friday the 13th of March is the worst of them all.
The number seven also has some superstition connected to it. It is said that God created the world in seven days, and any association with the number is lucky. The seventh son of the seventh son is said to be the luckiest of men, and when people talk about the “seven -year itch” they mean that every seven years a person undergoes a complete change in personality.

Speakers of English have a similar gesture though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away, quite the __29__ of the Colombian gesture. Again, in Colombia, a speaker of English would have to know that when he __30__ height he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is __31__ a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand __32__ the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter; in Colombia this gesture is __33__ for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand __34__ to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also __35__ moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply.

Among the kinds of social gestures most significant for second-language teachers are those which are __26__ in form but different in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Colombian who wants someone to __27__ him often signals with a hand movement in which all the fingers of one hand, cupped, point downward as they move rapidly __28__. Speakers of English have a similar gesture though the hand may not be cupped and the fingers may be held more loosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away, quite the __29__ of the Colombian gesture. Again, in Colombia, a speaker of English would have to know that when he __30__ height he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is __31__ a human being or an animal. If he keeps the palm of the hand __32__ the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by laughter; in Colombia this gesture is __33__ for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings he should keep the palm of his hand __34__ to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other often create not only humorous but also __35__ moments. In both of the examples above, speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply.

Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter, more 26 , less afraid of what he doesn't know, better at finding and 27 ,more confident, resourceful (机敏的),
persistent and 28 than he will ever be again in his schooling-or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life. Already, by paying close attention to and 29 the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and 30 than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years. He has solved the 31 of language. He has discovered it-babies don't even know that language exists-and he has found out how it works and learnt to use it32 . He hasdone it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by33 and seeing whether it works by gradually changing it and 34 it until it does work. And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the 35 that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach him.
