Unit 1 College culture
Listening in
Passage1
V/O
Hi, I’m Nick Carter, and this is SUR, your university radio station. This morning we went around campus to ask freshers – now half-way through their first year – the question, “How are you finding uni?” Here are some of the answers we got.
Speaker 1
It’s cool. It’s everything I hoped it would be. I’m very ambitious, I want to be a journalist and I want to get to the top of the profession. I’ve started writing for the university newspaper so I’ve got my foot on the ladder already.
Speaker 2
I’m working hard and the teaching is as good as I expected. And I’ve made some good friends. But I’m very homesick. I’m Nigerian and my family’s so far away. I went home at Christmas for a month – that really helped, but man, I miss my family so much.
Speaker 3
“How am I finding uni?” It’s great. It’s not perfect, nothing is, but, like, I’ve got a brilliant social life, just brilliant, and I’ve made lots of friends. For the first few months I just didn’t do, really enough work. But I – I talked about it with my parents and I’m working harder now and getting good grades.
Speaker 4
Actually, I’ve been quite lonely to be honest. I’m a bit shy … everyone else seemed to find it so easy to make friends straight away. But things have been better recently – yeah, they have. I’ve joined a couple of clubs and like, it really helps to get to know people when you have shared interests. So, yeah – I’m feeling a lot happier now.
Speaker 5
Uni’s great, I love it. My only problem – and it’s quite a big problem – is money. My parents are both unemployed so, you know, they can’t help me financially. My grant just isn’t – it’s just not enough for me to live on, so I’ve taken a part-time job as a waitress – a lot of people I know, like a lot, have had to do the same. I don’t want to have huge debts at the end.
Speaker 6
I love my subject, History, and I’m, I’m getting fantastic teaching here. I want to be a university lecturer and that means I have to get a first. I have a good social life but work definitely comes first for me.
Passage2
Oxford and Cambridge – two universities so similar that they are often spoken of together as
“Oxbridge”. They’re both in the UK, fairly near London, and both regularly come top in any ranking of the world’s best universities.
The two universities began within a century of each other. Oxford University, now 900 years old,
was founded towards the end of the 11th century. In 1209 there was a dispute between the university and the townspeople of Oxford. As a result, some of the Oxford teachers left and founded a university in the town of Cambridge, some 84 miles away. Ever since then, the two institutions have been very competitive.
Unlike most modern universities, both Oxford and Cambridge consist of a large number of colleges. Oxford has 39 and Cambridge 31. Many of these colleges have old and very beautiful architecture, and large numbers of tourists visit them.
In all UK universities, you need good grades in the national exams taken at 18. But to get into Oxford and Cambridge, it’s not enough to get A grades in your exams. You also have to go for a long interview. In these interviews, students need to show that they are creative and capable of original thinking.
Through the centuries, both universities have made huge contributions to British cultural life.
They have produced great writers, world leaders and politicians. Cambridge, in particular, has produced scientists whose discoveries and inventions have changed our lives.
Among the great university institutions is the world’s most famous debating society, the Oxford Union, where undergraduates get a chance to practise speaking in public. Cambridge’s comedy club
Footlights has produced many first-class comedians, while some of the UK’s most famous actors and actresses began their careers at The Oxford University Dramatic Society, known as OUDS. Then there’s the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, which takes place every year in March or April, and is watched on television all over the UK.
So with all this excellence in so many fields, it’s not surprising that the ambition of clever students all over the world is to attend either one of these great universities.
那一年里
英语四六级听力，不容小觑的“抢分大头”！很多英语不错的同学英语阅读能力都很强。那么何谓之英语“优秀”？这就要看英语听力与口语能力了。大学英语四六级脱颖而出者往往都赢在听力。同学们考前注重练习阅读，但是当练习到一定程度时，就会发现自己的阅读暂时也就当前水平无法再向前一步。的确，短时间内提升阅读分数是可行的，比如错1~3题。但是要想每次都全对就必须提高阅读能力，而阅读思维能力需要长时间的训练。如若此时我们仍一股脑的投入其中，也难以质变，无济于事。这时我们应该转变策略，不要一味关注阅读，也要着手攻克听力。毕竟在英语四六级中，听力部分一共248.5分，占整套试题35%的分数，应与阅读等量齐观。很多过不了的同学不是输在阅读上，他们可能阅读能拿180分，但是听力只得到100分，可能总分一加只有410。这样就会仰天长叹“为何自己不能多练习听力，争取多个十来分就不用再又考一次了。”英语四六级听力考试时长30分钟，共有三个section。section A为长对话，section B为听力篇章理解，section C为讲话、报道或讲座。section A共有八个题目（一般为两个长对话），每题7.1分；section B共有七个题目（一般为两个听力篇章），每题也是7.1分；section C共有十个题目（一般为三个讲话、报道或讲座） ，每题14.2分。因此最重要的是section C，其分值是前两个部分的两倍。不要畏惧英语听力的练习，万事开头难。从今天开始每天练习一篇听力，到6月份的四六级，你的听力水平一定能大大提高，甚至超乎你的预期。
