1、.UNIT 1 Section One Part 1 Spot Dictation Houses in the Future Well, I think houses in the future will probably be (1) quite small but I should think theyll be (2) well-insulated so that you dont need so much (3) heating and (4) cooling as you do now, so perhaps very economical (5) to run. Perhaps t
2、hey will use (6) solar heating, although I dont know, in this country, perhaps we (7) wont be able to do that so much.

3、 think. Yes, youll have things like (10) garage doors which open automatically when you (11) drive up, perhaps electronic (12) sensors which will (13) recognize you when you, when you come to the front door even. Perhaps (14) architects and designers will be a bit more (15) imaginative about how hou
4、ses are designed and perhaps with the (16) shortage of space people will think of putting gardens (17) on the roof and, and maybe rooms can be (18) expanded and, and (19) contracted depending on what you use them for, so perhaps therell be a bit more (20) flexibility about that.

Part 2 Passage The Oscar Statuette 1Industry insiders and members of the press called the award “the Academy statuette“, “the golden trophy“ or “the statue of merit“, but the term never stuck.2. No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation
16、 in 1934, a Hollywood columnist used the name in his column. .3. Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his Animated Feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. 4. If the statuettes dont meet strict quality control standards, they are immediately cut in h
17、alf and melted down. 5.The large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices via air express, with no identifiable markings. The Oscar statuette, designed by MGMs* chief art director Cedric Gibbons, depicts a knight holding a crusaders* sword, standing on a reel of film with five spokes, signifying the
18、 original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians. Born in 1928, years would pass before the Academy Award of Merit was officially named “Oscar“. Industry insiders and members of the press called the award “the Academy statuette“, “the golden trophy“ or “the s
19、tatue of merit“. The entertainment trade paper, Weekly Variety, even attempted to popularize “the iron man“. The term never stuck. A popular story has been that an Academy librarian and eventual executive director, Margaret Herrick, thought the statuette resembled her uncle Oscar and said so, and th
20、at as a result the Academy staff began referring to it as Oscar. No hard evidence exists to support that tale, but in any case, by the sixth Awards Presentation in 1934, Hollywood columnist Sidney Skolsky used the name .in his column in reference to Katharine Hepburns first Best Actress win. The Aca
21、demy itself didnt use the nickname officially until 1939. Since its conception, the Oscar statuette has met exacting uniform standards - with a few notable exceptions. In the 1930s, juvenile players received miniature replicas* of the statuette; a ventriloquist* Edgar Bergen was presented with a woo
22、den statuette with a moveable mouth; and Walt Disney was honored with one full-size and seven miniature statuettes on behalf of his animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Between 1942 and 1944, in support of the war effort, Oscars were made of plaster. After the War, winners turned in the
23、 temporary awards for golden Oscar statuettes. The traditional Oscar statuette, however, hasnt changed since the 1940s, when the base was made higher. In 1945, the base was changed from marble to metal and in 1949, Academy Award statuettes began to be numbered, starting with No. 501. Approximately 5
24、0 Oscars are made each year in Chicago by the manufacturer, R. S. Owens. If they dont meet strict quality control standards, the statuettes are immediately cut in half and melted down. Each award is individually packed into a Styrofoam container slightly larger than a shoebox. Eight of these are the
25、n packed into a larger cardboard box, and the large boxes are shipped to the Academy offices in Beverly Hills via air express, with no identifiable markings. On March 10, 2000, 55 Academy Awards mysteriously vanished en route from the Windy City* to the City of Angels. Nine days later, 52 of stolen
26、statuettes were .discovered. For eight decades, the Oscars have survived war, weathered earthquakes, and even managed to escape unscathed* from common thieves. Since 1995, however, R. S. Owens has repaired more than 160 statuettes. “Maybe somebody used chemicals on them to polish them and the chemic
27、als rubbed right through the lacquer* and into the gold,“ explains the company president. “Or maybe people stored them someplace where they corroded.“ Although he stresses that the statuette is made to endure, Siegel offers this sage advice to all Oscar winners: “If it gets dusty, simply wipe it wit
28、h a soft dry cloth.“ Exercise A Pre-listening Question Every January, the attention of the entertainment community and of film fans around the world turns to the upcoming Academy Awards, the highest honor in filmmaking.

(Open) Section Three News Item 2 President Obama says Washington and Beijing must cooperate to tackle the big problem facing the world. Mr Obama spoke t
39、o high-level American and Chinese officials as they launched a two-day meeting in Washington. The US-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue is to discuss a broad agenda from currency concerns to foreign policy.

40、ing the global economic recession, climate change, and the spread of nuclear weapons. The president said he is under no illusion the United States and China will agree on every issue, or always see the world in the same way. And he made clear that he will continue to speak out about human rights. Pr
41、esident Obama streesed that it is these differences that make dialogue even more important. He said these discussions give the two sides a chance to get to know each other better and communicate with candor. Exercise A Directions: Listen to the news item and complete the summary. This news item is a
42、bout the high-level US-China talks Obama opens. Exercise B News Item3 The oil Russia pumps from its frozen, Siberian fields, with one energy deal, will soon provide a significant amount of Chinas daily needs, about four percent. Russia will deliver about 300,000 barrels of crude a day. In return, Ch
43、ina will finance the pipeline Russia will build from its eastern Siberian oil fields to the Chinese border.Energy analysts say the deal ia another indication of Russias eagerness to shift some of its energy exports from its main market, Europe. Russias state-owned petroleum company Roseneft, will ge
44、t $15 billion of the work and the state pipeline owner Transneft, is set to receive $10 .billion. Construction has been delayed repeatedly as the two countries bargained over the cost of transporting crude oil to the border. But the Russian oil industry, which for decades has been a main source of r
45、evenue for the country, has suffered a dramatic shortfall as the price of oil fell during the global economic crisis. They say Russia also is seeking allies in the east where the Kremlin is seen more favourably than in the west. Exercise A Directions: Listening to the news item and complete the summ
46、ary. This news item is about the oil supply from Russion to China and the relationship between the two countries. Section Four Supplementary Exercises Part 1 Feature report China is a world growth leader, its cheap, manufactured exports power economies around the globe. This means, though, China is
47、not immune to the global economic malaise. Chinese exports have slowed and its bull market dropped sharply in the wake of the credit crisis in the United States. The government bought up stocks and lowered trading taxes to boost the market, but trading remains volatile. Just ahead of the G-20 meetin
48、g, China also lowered interest rates and announced a $586 billion spending package on infrastructure, social services and tax rebates. The world is now waiting to see whether Beijings actions will help restore global economic stability. Li Wan-Yong is a researcher on economics at South Koreas Hyundai Research Institute. “China has the most foreign currency reserves in the world and the second most US debt after Japan. In those terms, China can play an important role to overcome the global economic crisis and the Asican economic crisis.” Chinas Vice Foreign Minisrer He Yafei says China
