9、Two Listening ComprehensionPart 1 DialogueA UN InterpreterInterviewer: . so perhaps you could tell us how exactly you became so proficient at language learning, Suzanne. Suzanne: Well, I think it all started with a really fortunate accident of birth. You know I was born in Lausanne*, Switzerland; my

10、 father was Swiss-French Swiss and my mother was American, so, of course, we spoke both languages at home and I grew up bilingual. Then, of course, I learnt German at school - in Switzerland thats normal. And because I was already fluent in English, my second language at school was Italian. So I had

11、 a real head start (有利的开端)! Interviewer: So thats . one, two, three, four - you had learnt four languages by the time you left school? How fluent were you? Suzanne: Urn, I was native speaker standard in French and English, but Id become a bit rusty* in German and my Italian was only school standard.

12、 I decided the best option was to study in the UK, and I did Hispanic Studies at university, studying Spanish and Portuguese, with some Italian, and living in Manchester. Then I went to live in Brazil for two years, teaching English. Interviewer: So by this time you must have been fluent in six lang

13、uages? Suzanne: Nearly. My Italian wasnt perfect, but I had a boyfriend from Uruguay* while I was there, so my Spanish also became pretty good! Interviewer: And then what did you do? Suzanne: When I was 25 I came back to Switzerland, went to an interpreters school and then got a job in the United Na

14、tions when I was 28. Interviewer: And youve been there ever since? Suzanne: Not quite. In the first few months I met Jan, a Czech interpreter, who became my husband. We went to live in Prague in 1987 and that was where I learnt Czech. Interviewer: And the eighth language? Suzanne: Well, unfortunatel

15、y the marriage didnt last; I was very upset and I decided to take a long break. I went to Japan on holiday, got a job and stayed for two years, which was when I learnt Japanese. Interviewer: Thats amazing! And now youre back at the United Nations? Suzanne: Yes. Well, I never really left. I carried o

16、n doing work for them when I was in Prague - some in Prague, some in Austria and Switzerland, and I took a sabbatical* to work in Japan. They need people who can understand Japanese. But, yes, Ive been back with them full-time for two years now. Interviewer: And your plans for the future? Suzanne: I

17、m going to learn more Oriental languages. It was such a challenge learning Japanese - its so different from all the others. So Ill spend another two or three years here with the UN full-time, during which time I hope to get a substantial promotion, then I think Ill go back and learn Korean, or perha

18、ps Chinese, and Thai - Id love to learn Thai. And then, perhaps an Indian language. Whatever, I want to be fluent in another three or four languages before 45.

F Part 2 Passage The Clyde River Running through one of Britains biggest manufacturing centers, Glasgow, the Clyde River* was poisoned for more than a century by the fetid* byproducts of industry. The waterway bore the brunt of (首当其冲)Glasgows economic success during the Industrial Re

20、volution and beyond, as pollution and chemicals destroyed its fish and wildlife populations and brewed smells whose memory still makes residents wince*. Now, with heavy industry gone and Glasgow reconceived as a center for culture and tourism, the Clyde is coming back to life. For the first time sin

21、ce the late 1800s, its native salmon have returned in sizable numbers, reflecting the new cleanliness of a river that was once one of Britains filthiest. The Clyde River Foundation surveyed fish populations last autumn at 69 sites in the Clyde and its tributaries, and found salmon in seven of the ni

22、ne major tributaries. The migratory fish, which vanished from the Clyde around 1880 after a long decline, first reappeared in the 1980s, but last years survey was the first to show theyve come back in healthy numbers. Although commercial salmon fishing was never widespread on the Clyde, the fishs re

23、turn is symbolically important for Glasgow, where salmon were once so important to the citys identity that two are pictured on its official coat of arms. The salmons comeback is also a sign of big improvements to water quality. Like sea trout, which have also reappeared in the Clyde system in recent

24、 years, salmon are very sensitive to environmental conditions and require cool, well-oxygenated* water to thrive. The decline of Glasgows main industries helped boost the fortunes of a river that was essentially fishless for decades during the worst periods of pollution. The closure of factories tha

25、t had poured toxins* and other pollutants into the river boosted water quality significantly. Environmental regulators also lightened dumping rules, and modern sewage processing plants helped eliminate some of the foul* smells that once tainted* the air. With worries rising about the environmental i

26、mpact of enormous fish farms elsewhere in Scotland and severely depleted fish stocks in the North Sea and North Atlantic, the Clyde comeback is a rare bit of good news for Scotlands fish lovers. Since the area that is now Glasgow was first settled around the year 550, the Clyde has been central to i

27、ts history. The rivers depth and navigability helped make Glasgow an important center for importing tobacco, sugar and cotton from the Americas starting in the 1600s. Later, during the Industrial Revolution that began in the late 1700s, Glasgow became a center of British shipbuilding and one of the

28、countrys great manufacturing centers. The mills and factories that lined the Clyde made steel, textiles and chemicals, tanned leather and even produced candy and brewed alcohol. When the factories began to close in the second half of the 20th century, working-class Glasgow, Scotlands largest city, g

29、ained a reputation for social deprivation and rough streets. More recently, its art museums and nightlife have helped drive an economic comeback that has turned the city into a popular tourist destination.
