篇一：a place of our own专四听力答案

Passage 25 A Place of Our Own

We are all usually very careful when we buy something for the house. Why? Because we have to live with it for a long time. We paint a room to make it brighter, so we choose the colours carefully.

We buy new curtains in order to match the newly decorated room, so they must be the right colour. We move the furniture round so as to make more space — or we buy new furniture — and so on. It is an endless business.

Rich or poor, we take time to furnish a room. Perhaps some people buy furniture in order to impress their friends. But most of us just want to enjoy our surroundings. We want to live as comfortably as we can afford to. We spend a large part of our lives at home. We want to make a small corner in the world which we can recognize as our own. (151 words)

篇二：英语作文婚姻生活

My Married life In My Mind

I always agree with that marriage is the fruit of love, and I don’t think that marriage is the tomb of love. In my mind, I want to a simple and elegant weeding instead of a extravagant weeding, my wife’s family and my family can be together, all the family members will have a happy party. Then, my wife and I will start a new and happy life.

In fact we can have a romantic life in marriage which is just performance in another way. First, we will have our own house, we can live a life in the way what we want, for example, we can listen to music and exercise at anytime we want, we can also cook by ourselves. Then, my wife and I will travel together, and we will go to some places where we once dreamed of. It will be a very interesting and happy trip and it will also enhance the love between us. Finally, we will return to our own lives, and we will buy a car through our hard work. The most important thing is that we will have our own baby, in order to let our baby grow up healthy and happily, I will work harder. Of course, we will also take our baby to visit grandma and grandpa.

This is my expectation of my married life, I hope one day it will come true.

The human nose is an underrated tool. Humans are often thought to be insensitive smellers compared with animals, 1 this is largely because, 2animals, we stand upright. This means that our noses are 3 to perceiving those smells which float through the air, 4 the majority of smells which stick to surfaces. In fact, 5, we are extremely sensitive to smells, 6 we do not generally realize it. Our noses are capable of 7 human smells even when these are 8 to far below one part in one million.

Strangely, some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another, 9 others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate 10 smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send 11 to the brain. However, it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell 12 can suddenly become sensitive to it when 13 to it often enough.

The explanation for insensitivity to smell seems to be that the brain finds it 14 to keep all smell receptors working all the time but can 15 new receptors if necessary. This may 16explain why we are not usually sensitive to our own smells—we simply do not need to be. We are not 17 of the usual smell of our own house, but we

18 new smells when we visit someone else’s. The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors 19 for unfamiliar and emergency signals 20 the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.

Text 1

Everybody loves a fat pay rise. Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might even be outraged. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human,” with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance. But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.

The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food readily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.

Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan’s and Dr. de Waal’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly different.

In the world of capuchins, grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber, or refused toaccept the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to induce resentment in a female capuchin.

The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys, like humans, are guided by social emotions. In the wild, they are a co-operative, group-living species. Such co-operation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous indignation, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.

Do you remember all those years when scientists argued that smoking would kill us but the doubters insisted that we didn‘t know for sure? That the evidence was inconclusive, the science uncertain? That the antismoking lobby was out to destroy our way of life and the government should stay out of the way? Lots of Americans bought that nonsense, and over three decades, some 10 million smokers went to early graves.

There are upsetting parallels today, as scientists in one wave after another try to awaken us to the growing threat of global warming. The latest was a panel from the National Academy of Sciences, enlisted by the White House, to tell us that the Earth‘s atmosphere is definitely warming and that the problem is largely man-made. The clear message is that we should get moving to protect ourselves. The president of the National Academy, Bruce Alberts, added this key point in the preface to the panel‘s report: ―Science never has all the answers. But science does provide us with the best available guide to the future, and it is critical that our nation and the world base important policies on the best judgments that science can provide concerning the future consequences of present actions.‖

Just as on smoking, voices now come from many quarters insisting that the science about global warming is incomplete, that it‘s OK to keep pouring fumes into the air until we know for sure. This is a dangerous game: by the time 100 percent of the evidence is in, it may be too late. With the risks obvious and growing, a prudent people would take out an insurance policy now.

Fortunately, the White House is starting to pay attention. But it‘s obvious that a majority of the president‘s advisers still don‘t take global warming seriously. Instead of a plan of action, they continue to press for more research -- a classic case of ―paralysis by analysis.‖

To serve as responsible stewards of the planet, we must press forward on deeper atmospheric and oceanic research. But research alone is inadequate. If the Administration won‘t take the legislative initiative, Congress should help to begin fashioning conservation measures. A bill by Democratic Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, which would offer financial incentives for private industry, is a promising start. Many see that the country is getting ready to build lots of new power plants to meet our energy needs. If we are ever going to protect the atmosphere, it is crucial that those new plants be environmentally sound.

26.An argument made by supporters of smoking was that ________.

双语美文:幸福的铁钉

He and she were sitting face to face. At this moment, thelandlord came in and asked，"Are you sure you do not rent thehouse any more?”He kept silent and she only shook her head.They were going to divorce, so it was obvious that they wouldnot continue renting the house any more.

她和他默默地对坐着。房东进来问:“你们真的不租了吗?”他沉默不语，她摇了摇头，她和他就要离婚了，很明显他们不会再继续租房了。

Then the landlord began examining the house. After looking around，

the landlordscreamed，

"Damn God!See how you have ruined my house? The walls are full of nails!Howcould}rent the house to others?”

房东开始验收房子，在房间里转了一圈后，突然尖叫起来:“你们把我家弄成什么样子了，墙上到处是铁钉，还让我怎么继续出租啊!”

He said，

"The room is too small and can hardly accommodate all of our things. So we could onlyhang them on the walls.”The landlord did not listen to him and turned around up to the floor.

他不得不开口了:“房间太小了，东西多了放不下，只能挂在墙上。”房东不听他说，转身“瞪瞪瞪”上了楼。

She began looking around her familiar room. Four years ago,she became his bride here. On thenight of their marriage，he felt deeply guilty to her，saying，

"I feel so sorry to you for having youlive in this small room. In the future I will earn a lot of money to buy our own house."

她打量着熟悉的家。四年前，她在这里做了他的新娘。新婚那晚，他对她充满了愧疚:“委屈你了，以后我一定挣钱给你买大房子。”

The room was only 13 square meters with two nails on the wall next to the door，one for her tohang her bag and the other for hanging umbrellas. At that time，

she threw all her stuff such as herbag and umbrella on the floor once she entered the room，staring at the whole mess and feelingterribly upset.

房间只有13平方米，门边那两颗铁钉，一颗是用来给她挂包的，另一颗是用来挂雨伞的。

那会儿，她一进门就把包啊伞啊丢在地上，然后看到满地乱七八糟的东西开始心烦。

There were three nails on the left wall，

an which hung his clothes yesterday.After he lived in theroom，

he removed all the clothes boxes and bought her a desk in the spared room because heknew she loved writing and drawing.

左边的墙上有三颗铁钉，昨天那三颗钉子上面还都挂满了衣服。他住进来后就把装衣服的箱子给撤走了，腾出来的空间，他给她加了一张写字台，因为她平时喜欢写写画画。

There were four nails on the right wall that were used to fix their wedding photo frame. But nowthere were only four nails without the frame. She still remembered he got hurt on his fingers whentrying to drive the nails home. It was her who pushed him to receive an injection against tetanusin the hospital.

右边的墙上有四颗铁钉，是用来固定他们的婚纱照的。现在上面却只剩四颗孤零零的铁钉。她记得，钉这四颗铁钉的时候，他的手不小心受伤了，是她逼着他去医院打了预防破伤风的针。

The landlord took a toolkit down and tried to pry the nails out when groaning at the same time.After the nails were removed，

the walls were left with numerous holes. All of a sudden，

she feltharshly heartbroken as if her heart was pierced through those holes and bleeding nonstop.

房东从楼上拿了一把工具下来，一边撬铁钉一边埋怨。铁钉被一个个撬下来，墙上留下了一个个洞。她的心里突然难受起来，仿佛那些洞是她的心，正泊泊地往外流血。

www.putschool.com

She sprang from the seat and exclaimed，

"Stop prying the nails!We will continue renting thehouse and will only move away after we buy our own!”He looked at her with great surprise，andthen turned round，

tearing over his face.

她突然跳起来:“不要撬了，我们还要继续租，等买了新房再搬。’他惊讶地看着她，转过身去，泪流满面。

She finally came to understand that marriage was like a wall and that all quarrels，

"cold wars" andsuspicions were like the nails on the wall. When all the nails were removed，

only a wall withnumerous holes would be left. But if all the nails were still in their own places，the wall was still iintactand reliable. But in the past，

what she saw was only those provoking nails.

她终于明白，婚姻就像一堵墙。争吵、冷战、猜疑都争着往上面钉上一个个铁钉，当铁钉全部撤去，留下的只是千疮百孔的墙。但是只要铁钉还牢牢地在上面，这堵墙就是完整的，让人安心可以依靠。而从前，她却只看见那些刺眼的铁钉。

They hung all the things back to the wall. He asked her，

"Are you really willing to lead a tough lifewith me?”She patted away the ashes on hands and looked at the wafts with loads of stuff on themsatisfactorily, saying，"Yes!For me，it is not a suffering to live.”

她和他把该挂在墙上的又都挂了上去。他问:“你真的愿意跟着我继续受苦吗?”她拍拍手上的灰，满意地看着挂满东西的墙说:“不，这是老天给我幸福的机会。”
