17、案与解析 SECTION B INTERVIEW Directions: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY. Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions. No

18、w listen to the interview. 1 【听力原文】 Will Arditti(M)Susan Iannuzzi(W) M: Im Will Arditti, and this week were going to talk about what students coming to study in the US can do to avoid culture shock in the classroom. We invite Susan Iannuzzi. Shes an international consultant in English language teach

19、ing who lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Hi, Susan. Welcome. W: Thanks. M: So tell me what you did about it. W: Well, actually, one of the things that we did at the University of Pittsburgh was that we used the sports equivalence, which, you know, is not something we came up with. Its the three co

20、nversational styles of, say, bowling, rugby and basketball. So, for example,(1)the bowling style. That would be considered something perhaps highly considerate, which means that people from those countries would use a style where they would take turns and they would, you know, hold back if theyre a

21、junior person and allow the older person or the more senior person to speak first. And then when they are asked for their opinion they would jump in. M: Just like you would take turns in a bowling game. W: Exactly. You go and roll and Ill wait for you, and now its my turn, and everybody knows that t

22、here are going to be turns. M: So thats the high-considerate model. W: Yes. Then theres, you know, the rugby style, which might be the other end. And this is high-involvement. And in this style youre expected to interrupt other people and the other people are fine with that, they expect to be interr

23、upted. So theres a sort of rapid changing of topic, changing of speakers and overlapping of speech.(2)This is a style thats common in southern Europe, in African cultures, in cultures of Latin America, many voices happening at one time. Its also a style in Russia and Greece. M: And then the basketba

24、ll model? W: Well, the basketball model is a little bit closer to what we have here. So think about it as if youre playing basketball. Youre carrying out the conversation, youre just going along. And when you hesitate, other people see that as an opportunity to jump in and steal the ball, to steal t

25、he conversation away. Not in a bad way, just as “Oh, its my turn now. “ M: So what would you recommend, what practical things would you recommend for someone whos coming into this country and who really knows nothing about these styles that youre talking about? W: Well, you know,(3 - 1)if theyre in

26、an English language learning situation, I think its really helpful for them to realize that the other people that are there learning with them may come from different styles, so not to make judgments about them, you know, as “ Oh, youre rude“ or “Youre inconsiderate“ or “Youre just very quiet and yo

27、u never say anything“. Because these things may not be someones true personality. They may just be the conversation style that theyre accustomed to. M: Yeah. W: So, first of all, awareness, I think, is the number one thing.(3 - 2)It also helps if the instructors point these things out to people, bec

28、ause its not something that most of us are going to reflect on in our own lives, think about, well, how do I interact in a conversation? I dont know what I do, I just do it. M: Youre saying that the basketball model tends to be maybe more the traditional style in the US classroom. But is that always

29、 the case? W:(4)You know, the dynamic of each class is different. I know that in, for example, the MBA schools, the students are expected to do a lot of project work, so the professors may not be as involved in directing classroom interaction. There may be a lot of times when the students are workin

30、g amongst themselves. I would imagine in teacher-led classes that this dynamic is much more apparent. I personally remember an instructor, I cant remember where this professor was from, but the topic of the class just seemed to change constantly, as if, you know, “And now were going to talk about so

31、mething completely different. “ It made for, you know, a challenging time in taking notes. M: And then there are the challenges of everyday language. Even a common way that Americans avoid confusion when spelling a name out loud can be confusing if youre not familiar with it. W: I remember a physici

32、an who had, you know, very good written English. He was used to writing papers and he could even present very well because he had presented at international conferences. But when he went to set up phone service, and(5)he was telling them “ My last name starts with T“ and they would say “T like table

33、?“ he said “No, Im not a table. I dont need a table. Its T. “ And he didnt understand that they were using this strategy, this device of associating, you know, first letter of your name with a common object so that we make sure that we write a T instead of a D. M: Susan Iannuzzi is a consultant on E

Today he will talk with us about the change of peoples understanding of health. Hello,Richard. M: H

37、ello. W: Now, Richard, the concept of health has been changing all the time. And different people and groups hold different opinions towards it. Would you mind telling us the original concept of health? M: Of course not.(5 - 1)Health has long been viewed in the physical sense only. That is, good hea

38、lth has been connected to the smooth mechanical operation of body, while ill health has been attributed to a breakdown in this machine. In this sense,(1)health has been defined as the absence of disease or illness and is seen in medical terms. Therefore, creating health for people means providing me

39、dical care to treat or prevent disease and illness. W: Then what was the emphasis of the work of the WHO during that period? M: Well, the emphasis was of course on providing clean water, improved sanitation and housing. W: I see. When did the concept begin to change? M:(2- 1)In the late 1940s, the W

40、HO challenged this physically and medically oriented view of health.(5-2)They stated that health was a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease.(2 - 2)The mind, body and spirit of a person were seen holistically. W: How long did this concept last

41、? M: It lasted until the 1970s. At that time,people focused their attention on the prevention of disease and illness by emphasizing the importance of the lifestyle and behavior of the individuals. Specific behaviors which were seen to increase risk of disease, such as smoking, lack of fitness and un

42、healthy eating habits, were targeted.(5 - 3)Creating health meant providing not only medical health care, but health promotion programs and policies which would help people maintain healthy behavior and lifestyles. W: It sounds reasonable. It must have been beneficial to people. M: Unfortunately, no

43、t. W: But why? M:(3)You see,this individualistic healthy lifestyles approach did help the wealthy members of the society. But the majority were people experiencing poverty, unemployment or little control over the conditions of their daily lives. How could people afford the program if they lived unde

44、r unfavorable social and environmental factors? W: Im beginning to see your point. A single lifestyle decides nothing if not integrated with a good environment. M: Thats right. So during the 1980s and 1990s, there has been a growing swing away from seeing lifestyle risks as the root cause of poor he

45、alth. While lifestyle factors still remain important,(4)health is being viewed also in terms of the social, economic and environmental contexts in which people live. W: This is a new concept of health. And I heard its called the socio-ecological view,isnt it? M: Yes. In 1986, representatives from 38

46、 countries gathered in Ottawa, Canada, to hold the first International Conference of Health Promotion. It was at that conference that(5 - 4)the broad socio-ecological view of health was endorsed. W: What were the details of the endorsement? M: Well, the representatives declared that the fundamental

47、conditions and resources for health are peace, shelter, education, food, a viable income, a stable ecosystem, sustainable resources, social justice and equity. Moreover, improvement in health requires a secure foundation in these basic requirements. From this statement,we can find that the creation

48、of health is about much more than encouraging healthy individual behaviors and lifestyles and providing appropriate medical care. It must include addressing such issues as poverty,pollution,urbanization,natural resource depletion, social alienation and poor working conditions. W: Oh,I see. But how a

49、re they affecting health? M: They do not operate separately. Rather, they are interacting and interdependent. The complex interrelationships between them determine the conditions that promote health. A broad socio-ecological view of health suggests that the promotion of health must include a strong social, economic and environmental focus. W: Thats right. M: As we all know, good health is a major source for social, economic and personal development and an important dimension of quality of life. Politica
