1
Now turns to part one.
2
Part 1.
3
You will hear telephone conversation between a customer and a sales assistant at a shop that rents bicycles.
4
First you have some time to look at questions 1 to 7.
5
Now we shall begin.
6
You should answer the questions as you listen, because you will not hear the recording a second time.
7
Listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 7.
8
Hello, Clark Cycle Hire.
9
My name's Keith.
10
How can I help you?
11
Oh, hello.
12
I saw your ad in the local paper, and as I'm thinking of doing some cycling, I'm wondering what kinds of bike you have and what your prices are like.
13
Well, we hire out two main types of machine, touring and mountain bikes.
14
Are you likely to be riding off -road, do you think?
15
No, I'll probably be sticking to roads and country lanes, so a touring bike would be best, I think.
16
pounds for a week or 14 pounds per day
17
so it's a lot cheaper to rent by the week yes
18
definitely though it's important to bring the bike back on time
19
otherwise I'm afraid we have to charge a late return fee
20
and how much is that for each additional hour it's one pound 25 so
21
if you were a day late it would cost another 30
22
pounds yes that's right I'd make sure I didn't do
23
that then I should also point out there's a deposit
24
which you get back
25
when you return the bicycle in good condition of course on
26
touring models it's 60 pounds is there anything else I'd have to pay no that's it though
27
if you're planning to ride fairly long distances you might like to have one
28
or two accessories such as well for another five pounds we can supply lightweight bags either panniers
29
or the handlebar sort it's amazing how much they can carry and the way they're designed means they don't a repair kit.
30
I wouldn't have to pay extra for those, would I?
31
No, no, no, there's no charge for things like that.
32
Or for a lock.
33
It's a good strong one, too.
34
Just make sure you don't lose the key.
35
That reminds me.
36
What about insurance?
37
What happens if someone steals the bike in spite of the wonderful lock?
38
Didn't I mention that?
39
Oh, I should have told you that's included in the rental, too.
40
And it covers everything, does it?
41
part of any individual claim though.
42
How much?
43
If the bike was stolen and not recovered, you'd be liable for the first hundred pounds.
44
Hmm, so if I do go ahead and rent one, how do I pay?
45
By check or would it have to be cash?
46
Neither, I'm afraid.
47
We can only accept credit card bookings.
48
Otherwise we'd have to ask our customers for the full value of the machine as a deposit.
49
I've got a visa in my name.
50
Would that be okay?
51
Sure.
52
Now you have some time to look at questions 8 to 10.
53
Now listen and answer questions 8 to 10.
54
So if I want to have a look at the bikes, how do I find you?
55
I live near the university, by the way.
56
Right.
57
First you take Woods Road, as far as the main police station.
58
I know it.
59
It's right next to the park.
60
Yes, that's it.
61
And after the police station, there's a turning to the right called Oak Street.
62
At the big supermarket?
63
No, it's before then.
64
It's actually between the police station and a garage on the other side side okay
65
so you go down Oak Street until you reach the health center on the right
66
if you get to a pub called the maple leaf you've gone too far all right yes I've got
67
that now opposite the health center there's a pharmacy
68
and we're just behind
69
that okay fine I'll try to call over some time tomorrow great see you then bye
70
that is the end of section one You now have half a minute to check your answers.
71
Now turns to part two.
72
Part 2 You are going to hear a talk on cultural shock.
73
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 16.
74
Now listen to the tape and answer the questions.
75
Hi, congratulations on finishing orientation for our study abroad programme.
76
Before you all head off to your respective countries, however, I want to first share with you a little bit about dealing with culture shock.
77
Recent studies in intercultural experience have shown that there are distinct phases of adjustment, which virtually everyone who lives abroad goes through.
78
You won't be the exception.
79
The first phase of culture shock includes gaining an awareness of the host culture, preparing for the journey and farewell activities.
80
You're all experiencing this right now.
81
The second phase begins when you arrive in your new country and ends when the excitement of the early experiences wear off.
82
When you first get there, you will be overwhelmed.
83
Initial impressions convey a sense of monumentality of the experience.
84
You'll love it.
85
During the third phase you will start taking a more active role in your setting.
86
This will produce frustration because there will be some difficulty in coping with even the most elementary aspects of everyday life.
87
I remember not being able to find a toilet one day because I forgot the word for bathroom.
88
Anyhow, your focus will shift during this phase to the differences between your new host culture and your home cultures.
89
This can be troubling but these sometimes That's why the stage is most often referred to as culture shock.
90
Now look at questions 17 to 20.
91
As the talk continues, answer questions 17 to 20.
92
But relax, when this stage is over, you will slip into the gradual adjustment stage.
93
You may not even be aware that this is happening.
94
You will just begin to orient yourself and to interpret subtle cultural clues.
95
The culture will become familiar to you and you'll start to feel at home.
96
The next phase will be your discovery that you have the ability to function in two cultures with full confidence,
97
and you may even feel completely integrated into your new host culture.
98
In this phase, you will also start to have a sense of shared fate concerning events abroad.
99
The last stage is the re -entry phase when you return home.
100
This can be for some the most painful phase of all.
101
You will be excited about sharing your experiences, but you will realise that you have changed and won't be able to explain how or why.
102
One set of values has already been instilled in you.
103
Another you will have acquired in your host country.
104
Both may seem equally valid.
105
It is important that you realise that all of these phases are a natural part of adapting to a new culture.
106
Expect peaks and valleys during your stay and feel free to discuss your feelings with the resident director.
107
These culture shock phases tend to occur even with relatively short stays abroad.
108
During your stay, if you feel a wave of bewilderment wash over you, remember this little talk and look back at your notes.
109
One very typical reaction against culture shock is the tendency to hang out with other Americans.
110
Remember, you are coming to a foreign country to get to know her people, language and culture better.
111
If you avoid contacts with the foreign language, you cheat yourself and lengthen the process of adaptation.
112
This is the end of section two.
113
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
114
Now turns to part 3.
115
Part 3.
116
You'll hear two university students discussing a social science lecture they attended.
117
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.
118
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 24.
119
Did you go to the first social science lecture yesterday?
120
Yeah, didn't you see me there?
121
No, I was trying so hard to understand the lecturer.
122
What didn't you understand?
123
A lot of it, really.
124
For example, he said we needed to study history as part of the course, but I didn't get why.
125
He said early on that we need to learn from our past mistakes.
126
Right.
127
But he also said we need to put ourselves in the place of our ancestors.
128
Why is that?
129
I think the point is that it's not enough to know how they lived and what they did.
130
We need to know what they thought.
131
I see.
132
And I've written "transflorable skills" in my notes next, but I have no idea what that means.
133
you learn skills that you can use in a job oh right is
134
that all okay but why is that the point he made was
135
that in studying social science you use a flexible and adaptable approach to learning
136
before you hear the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 25 to 30.
137
Now listen and answer questions 25 to 30.
138
He also kept mentioning all the other subjects we will need to study as part of the course.
139
I didn't write them all down, did you?
140
Some of them.
141
I think I can make sense of my notes.
142
The first one was anthropology, which he said would cover prehistory and archaeology as well.
143
Okay.
144
Then there's economics.
145
wrote down that this was not meant to mean that we will spend all our time looking at economic theory, but more that we need to see how humans behave.
146
That's good.
147
I don't think I could handle economic theory.
148
He said something about education too, didn't he?
149
Yeah.
150
He said we'll be looking at how cultural information is handed down from one generation to the next through teaching
151
on geography too, but I can't really remember which aspects, can you?
152
I noted it down, I think.
153
Here we are, yes, particularly in relation to urban planning.
154
It's law that I got confused about.
155
I didn't understand why he linked that to economics.
156
I think he meant that laws affect What are the science wars?
157
Okay, I did get that.
158
The science wars are about how social science collects information.
159
In sociology and social work and in social science generally, they can only study patterns of behavior and observe.
160
If you compare that to the way scientists work in physics or chemistry,
161
it's very different because they use specific tested and which give concrete answers.
162
Social studies is often accused of being unscientific, that's all.
163
Okay, but it still looks like a good course, doesn't it?
164
You don't have any regrets, do you?
165
None at all.
166
I'm looking forward to it.
167
That is the end of section 3.
168
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
169
Now, turns to part 4.
170
Part 4.
171
You are going to hear a talk on Anne Bonny, a female pirate.
172
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 35.
173
Now listen to the tape and answer the questions, 31 to 35.
174
Anne Bonney was one of the two most famous female pirates.
175
She sailed on the crew of Calico Jack Rackham.
176
Anne was romantically involved with Calico Jack, but she could be counted as nonetheless as fearless as any other pirate.
177
She was born in County Cork, daughter of an attorney and his maid.
178
The lawyer left Ireland in disgrace but found fortune in the Carolinas.
179
There he amassed a fortune and bought a large plantation.
180
A ne 'er -do -well pirate sailor named James Bonney married Anne in an attempt to steal the plantation.
181
But Anne's father instead disowned her.
182
Bonnie then took Anne to the Bahamas, where he turned Informer to Governor Woods Rogers, turning in any sailor he didn't like as a pirate for a handsome reward.
183
Anne quickly grew to dislike her spineless husband and quickly caught the eye of one Calico Jack Rackham, a pirate of some renown.
184
Governor Rogers had recently passed an amnesty for pirates, which left Bonnie out of work.
185
The admiration between Ann and Calico was mutual.
186
Calico Jack was a handsome man who knew how to spend money as well as steal it.
187
Anne was a well -endowed lass with a fiery spirit and a temper that matched that of any man.
188
In any event, Calico offered to buy Anne from Bonnie, but Bonnie instead took the matter up with Governor Rogers,
189
who said that Anne was to be flogged and returned to her true husband.
190
That night, Calico and Anne slipped out in the harbor, stole a sloop, and began a life of piracy together.
191
Now look at questions 36 to 40.
192
As the talk continues, answer questions 36 to 40.
193
Anne fought in men's clothing, was an expert with pistol and cutlass, and considered as dangerous as any male pirate.
194
She was fearless in battle, and often was a member of any boarding party.
195
In October of 1720, retribution was close at hand.
196
The Governor of Jamaica, hearing of Calico's presence, sent an armed sloop to intervene and capture the captain and crew.
197
Calico's ship, Revenge, was caught by surprise, and much to Anne's dismay, the pirates fought like cowards and were taken far too easily.
198
Anne and Mary Read were also captured but,
199
upon capture, confessed their sex and pleaded to be tried separately after they gave birth.
200
Both women were pregnant at the time.
201
Both received separate trials from the men, but were still sentenced to hang.
202
Mary Read escaped the hangman by dying from fever while in jail.
203
Anne, however, received several stays of execution before mysteriously vanishing from official records.
204
It is believed that her father, who had contacts in the island, forgave his daughter for her acts and ransomed her back to the Carolinas,
205
where she assumed a new name and a new life.
206
This is the end of section 4.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
