【英語(yǔ)四級(jí)聽力材料】

　　My father woke me up early one morning when I was fourteen, and announced "Get up! You are going with me to cut grass." [33]I felt proud and excited, because my father thought I was responsible enough to help him in his business. Still, that first day was very hard. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I cut and trimmed very large yards in a well-to-do part of the city. By the end of the day, I was exhausted, but I felt good. I had put in a hard day's labor and had earned six dollars. One day, my father spotted some leaves I had missed cutting, and pulled me aside. [34]"Cut that section again," he said firmly, "and don't make me have to tell you to do it again." The message was clear. Today, [35]I stress the importance of doing a job right the first time. Every job I have held, from cutting lawns to washing dishes to working a machine on the construction site, I have learned something that helps me in my next job. If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.

　　Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　英語(yǔ)四級(jí)聽力參考答案

　　33. How did the speaker feel when his father asked him to help cut grass?

　　正確答案：B

　　解析：題目詢問(wèn)當(dāng)作者聽到父親要他幫忙割草的時(shí)候，心里是什么感覺。關(guān)鍵是要聽到“我又驕傲又激動(dòng)”，即B。本題符合短文聽力“聽到什么選什么”的解題原則。

　　34. What did his father do when the speaker missed cutting some leaves?

　　正確答案：C

　　解析：題目詢問(wèn)當(dāng)作者漏剪了一些樹葉的時(shí)候，他的父親做了什么。關(guān)鍵是要聽到父親的話語(yǔ)“把那一部分重新剪過(guò)。”因此答案為C。作者的父親并沒有嚴(yán)厲地責(zé)備他，故A不正確;選項(xiàng)B、D內(nèi)容均與原文不符。

　　35. What did the speaker want to tell us in this passage?

　　正確答案：C

　　解析：題目詢問(wèn)在這篇文章中作者想要告訴我們什么。本題關(guān)鍵在于抓聽“我強(qiáng)調(diào)一次性把一項(xiàng)工作做好的重要性。”這是作者從割草這件事中總結(jié)出的經(jīng)驗(yàn)教訓(xùn)。選項(xiàng)C(每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該一貫地認(rèn)真工作)是這句話的同義表達(dá)，故選C。文章尾句說(shuō)，“如果很努力地工作，你就能從你做的任何工作中學(xué)到東西”，而不是A項(xiàng)中的“和父親一起工作”，故干擾項(xiàng)A不正確。
