Fortunately, there were usually no murders in Green Ville. Crimes against property make up most of Miss Heyes reporting. They range from minor cases of deliberate damaging of things to much more serious offenses, such as car accidents involving drunk drivers or bank robberies but Florence has to report all of these violations from the thief who took typewriters from every unlock room in the dormitory to the thief who stole one million dollars worth of art work from the university museum. Miss Hayes enjoys working for a newspaper but she sometimes gets unhappy about all the crime she has to report. She would prefer to start writing about something more interesting and less unpleasant such as local news or politics, maybe next year
Florence Hayes
Green Ville
听力点睛:
本文主要从Florence Hayes,一位来自Green Ville Journal的记者的工作揭示Green Ville的治安状况。难度适中,难词不多,难词主要是对犯罪类词汇的,如violent crimes, crimes against property, rape, robbery等,考生平时阅读及词汇学习一定要各种类型都涉及一点,掌握一些基本的专业词汇。其次这类从一个人的角度去看的文章,既要注意文中主人公的主观态度,也要关注客观事实。题目很可能把2者混淆起来考查考生。
Passage Two
Somehow the old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country havent been fulfilling their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in group discussions, they might speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the highest paying job of her career, but shed also accepted a date with the most charming men shed ever met.
