Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1: Problems with our educational systemScript:Hi, everybody. My topic today is Problems with our educationalsystem.I disagree on a lot of the ways that things have happened for a long time inour educational system.It seems that educators just want to give standardized tests,which focus only on academic performance and neglect students abilities andinterest in other areas.I think there are a lot of people who are very intelligent,but havent had the opportunities they could have had if they had learned in abroader-minded educational system.I feel that a lot of courses that students are required to take in high schoolare too academic, and, as a result,many kids have lost their interest in learning.Educators often fail torecognize various kinds of intelligence.They simply exert a lot of pressure on students to be as well-rounded aspossible.I think being well-rounded isnt really possible.And as a consequence, some students I believe to be intelligent cant get intogood colleges if they,you know, havent scored well on the math section, even if they are brilliantwriters.Another thing that disturbs me is that the so-called weak students areseparated from the rest of the school.Some kids are kept in a separate class if their grades are lower than others.And theyre very aware of their social position, you know.I think it causes them to act in a way that is not really positive.Theyre just acting in a way they are expected. Often their grades go from badto worse. And thats pretty sad.I think that many of the kids in those classes are intelligent,but they never actually realize their potential because of the way they aretreated early on in their education.Keys:(1)standardized tests(2)abilities and interest(3)interest(4)pressure(5)well-rounded(6)get into good colleges(7)the rest of the school(8)from bad to worseTask 2: The final examScriptAt a university, there were four sophomores taking a chemistry course.They were doing so well on all the quizzes, midterms, labs, etc. that each hadan A so far for the semester.These four friends were so confident that on the weekend before thefinal,they decided to go up to the University of Virginia and party with some friendsthere.They had a great time and didnt make it back to school until early Mondaymorning.Rather than taking the final then,they decided to find their professor after the final and explain to him whythey missed it.They explained that they had planned to come back in time for the final exam,but,unfortunately, they had a flat tire on the way back and didnt have a spare.As a result, they missed the final.The professor thought it over and then agreed they could make up the final thefollowing day.The guys were relieved and elated.The next day, the professor placed them in separate rooms, handed each of thema paper, and told them to begin.They looked at the first problem, worth five points.It was a simple question on a chemical reaction.Cool, they all thought at the same time, each one in his separateroom, this is going to be easy.Each finished the problem and then turned the page.On the second page was a question worth 95 points: Which of the tires wasflat?Keys:(1)course(2)quizzes(3)semester(4)confident(5)party(6)make(7)missed(8)they had a flat tire on the way back and didnt have a spare(9)placed them in separate rooms, handed each of them a paper(10)On the second page was a question worth95 pointsTask3: Harvard UniversityScriptHarvard University is the oldest institute of higher learning in the UnitedStates.Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth,the university has grown from nine students with a single master to the presentenrollment of more than 21,000 students,including undergraduates and students in 10 graduate and professional schools.Over 14,000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,100 facultymembers.Harvard has produced eight American presidents and many Nobel Prize winners.During its early years, Harvard offered a classic academic course based on themodel of English universities,but consistent with the prevailing Puritan philosophy.Although many of its early graduates became ministers in Puritan churchesthroughout New England,the university was never formally affiliated with a specific religious group.Under President Pusey, Harvard started what was then the largest fundraisingcampaign in the history of American higher education.It was an 82.5-million-dollar program for the university.The program increased faculty salaries, broadened student aid, created newprofessorships,and expanded Harvards physical facilities.NeiI L. Rudenstine took office as Harvards 26th president in 1991.As part of an overall effort to achieve greater coordination among theuniversitys schools and faculties,Rudenstine encouraged academic planning and identified some of Harvards mainintellectual priorities.He also stressed the importance of the universitys excellence in undergraduateeducation,the significance of keeping Harvards doors open to students from families ofdifferent economic backgrounds,and the task of adapting the research university to an era of both rapidinformation growth and serious fund shortage.Keys: 1.B 2.A 3. C 4.D 5.DViewing and speaking:Task 1:University budget cutsScriptHost: Well, David Lammy, the University Minister, joins me from Westminster.Now thanks for joining us this lunchtime,Mr. Lammy. How do these cuts. tie in with your much trumpeted commitment toincreasing higher education?Interviewee: Well, I think its important to remind viewers that we will spendwell over 12 billion pounds on higher education this year and to also say thatthere will be more students at university next year than ever before in ourhistory.But what is important is that when they get to university, is that they havegood facilities, good buildings,that they have good contact with their lecturers and, for students from poorerbackgrounds that they receive a grant.And you know 40 percent of students who are going to university are in receiptof some grants. So we have to plan.Host:But theres going to be less money next year. Thats the bottom line,isnt it?Interviewee: Er, we are asking universities to make a one percent cut in theirteaching grant.Thats 51 million out of a total budget of over five billion.Look, I think there are families across the country preparing for Christmasspending a bit less and theyre,you know, its a lot more than one percent that theyre, theyre feeling.So I think this is reasonable to ask universities if we are to ensure that wecan continue to send more young people to university and we remain committed tothat.Host:And briefly, what about these two-year degrees? This is a reduction instandards, isnt it?Interviewee:Well, we, we, we. Its important in this country that we rememberthat students arent just the classic 18- to 21-year-old undergraduates.We want mature students. We want more parttime students and over the last fewyears weve been growing the number of foundation degree,two-year degrees that ensure that transition into high university and highlevel skills.Thats what we want to support and thats what were indicating in the grantletter that weve sent to universities over the last few days.Host:OK.

Um. more now than before.Martha:What do you think is the most serious environmental problem in the worldtoday?Ed: Today. I think damage to the ozone layer is a big problem, and anotherproblem is pollution in big cities and things like that.Martha: How do you learn about environmental problems?Ed: Um. through school. A lot of clubs promote environmental safety, and someTV programs, too. They talk about environmental safety and stuff likethat.Martha: Do you think students should learn more about the environment atschool?Ed: I think so. So, as they grow older, they can be more aware of all theproblems that are going on, and also to prevent more problems fromoccurring.Martha: If you could create a new law to help the environment, what would itbe?Ed: A new law for the environment? Um. Id probably say that when peoplethrow away their cigarette butts, they have to throw them into the garbage bin,not just throw them everywhere because its just littering and I hate that. Sothey should be fined if they throw them on the floor or on the ground.Martha: Thats a good idea. What do you personally do to help protect theenvironment?Ed: Im so against littering. I never litter. If I see somebody litter, I getreally angry. So I always throw my trash into the garbage bin.Keys:(1)nature(2)environmental problem(3)pollution(4)promote(5)aware of(6)from occurring(7)law(8)throw away(9)fined(10)trashTask 2:River pollutionScript:If you see dead fish floating on the river or notice that the water isdiscolored and smelly,you know the river has been polluted, and there are four main possible causesfor it.First, fertilizer. If large amounts of fertilizer or farm waste drain into ariver, the concentrations of nitrate and phosphate in the water increaseconsiderably.Algae use these substances to grow rapidly, turning the watergreen.This massive growth of algae leads to pollution. When the algae die, they arebroken down by the action of the bacteria, which quickly multiply, using up allthe oxygen in the water and therefore causing the death of fish.Second, industrial waste. Factories sometimes discharge chemical waste intorivers. Examples of such pollutants include cyanide, lead, copper, and mercury.These substances may enter the water in such high concentrations that fish andother animals are killed immediately. Sometimes the pollutants enter the foodchain and accumulate until they reach toxic levels, eventually killing fish andother animals.Third, oil pollution. If oil enters a slow-moving river, it forms arainbow-colored film over the entire surface, preventing oxygen from enteringthe water.Fourth, warm water. Industry often uses water for cooling processes, sometimesdischarging large quantities of warm water back into rivers. A highertemperature of the water lowers the level of dissolved oxygen and upsets thebalance of life in the water.Keys:1.D 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.DTask3: Curbing carbon emissionsScript:Although it is not an easy task, China is striving to fulfill the promise tocut its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 percent in thenext 10 years.Zhang Guobao, Director of the National Energy Administration, said, Thegovernment puts great emphasis on seeking harmonious development between citiesand the environment, and is readjusting the energy structure by giving priorityto the development of clean and low-carbon energies, including hydroelectric,nuclear, wind, and solar power.Government authorities have closed small, coal-fired plants with a totalcapacity of 60.06 million kilowatts in the past four years. This years targetof closing 10 million kilowatts of capacity will be achieved by August.We have promised to the international community that 15 percent of ourpower will be generated from nonfossil sources by 2020, Director Zhangsaid. At present, non-fossil energy accounts for only 7.8 percent.China is making efforts to increase the proportion of clean energy in its totalenergy consumption. Statistics show that China invested US$34.6 billion inclean energy last year, exceeding the United States which invested US$18.6billion. Thus, China has become the world leader in generating clean energy.Five years earlier, Chinas investment in clean energy was only US$2.5 billion.However, Chinas carbon emission reduction target cannot be achieved easily.The shift to a low-carbon economy might be met at a cost to society. Forinstance, more than 400,000 people were laid off as a result of the shutdown ofsmall coal-fired power plants in the past four years. Many studies indicatethat the effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions may delay Chinas development,affect peoples income, and lead to unemployment.Keys:1.D 2.D 3.A 4.B 5.CIV.

Two speakers hold a negative attitude toward theworld climate conference.Task 3:Lets group work!Developed countries should bear more responsibilities.First, they caused most of the world pollution in their industrializationprocess.Second, they are already economically advanced, with more funds to deal withpollution problems.On the other hand, developing countries caused less pollution in the past, andnow they need rapid development.Therefore, an international agreement the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 stipulatedcommon but differentiated responsibilities for developed and developingnations, which means that both should be responsible for environmentalprotection and cut carbon dioxide emissions, but the former must take moreresponsibility.Recently, however, some wealthy countries have insisted that developingcountries like China should shoulder more responsibilities.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingListening Task:Task1: The environment and the developmentScript:Li:Hi, Professor Wang.Im Li Lin, a correspondent for the university newspaper.The staff and students here are getting more and more interested in therelationship between the environment and economic development.What do you think is the most serious environmental problem at present? Whatmeasures should we adopt to improve the environment and develop the economy atthe same time?Wang: There are many environmental problems: air pollution, water pollution,desertification, overfishing, destruction of natural habitats, acid rain,overconsumption of wild animals and plants, etc. But lying at the center of allthose problems, as I see it, is the contradiction between economic growth andthe environment.Since the United Nations Earth S
