You will hear the speech only once.（分数：30.00）(1).The speaker thinks that to be a teacher is more difficult than to be the president of the NEA.（分数：3.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 Thank you for inviting me to share my thoughts with
19、you this evening. As you can imagine, being the president of the NEA is a demanding job and in many ways its an important job. But for 25 years, I had a job that was more demanding and more important. I was a teacher. My first year in the classroom, I wasnt a member of my local teachers union in Dan
20、bury Connecticut. I didnt see the need, but very quickly, the going got tough. In college, I didnt take a single geography course and my first assignment was to teach, you guess it, Geography. I admit that in my first year, I was not a very good teacher and I was not the only one. I remember another
21、 poorly prepared first-year teacher saying to me: “Bob, I find myself spending a lot of time in the bathroom. Its the only place in the school where I know what Im doing.“ Not only was I totally on my own, I realized that my colleagues were mostly in the same predicamentprofessionally isolated, powe
22、rless, voiceless in the large affairs of the school. So I did the rational thing. I joined the local teachers union and my point is thisdidnt go into teaching to become a union activist. I became a union activist in order to become a better teacher, in order to advance my profession, in order to giv
23、e teachers a voice in making their schools more effective places for teaching and learning. Teaching may in fact be the worlds second oldest profession, but as a practical matter, this profession is still very much in its infancy, especially when compared to fully articulated profession such as law
24、and medicine. We have yet too truly professionalized the craft of teaching. Think about it, people go into teaching for the most noble, unselfish motivations. We have this crazy idea that maybe, just, maybe, they could make a difference in the lives of children, in the lives of our students, and so
25、we get up every day and go to work in make-shift classrooms. We reconcile ourselves to inadequate paychecks and to too little respect. In the cafeteria, we deal with insanitary pizza a day. We put up with administrators who told to us as if we were six-year-olds and six-year-olds who told to us as i
26、f they were administrators. Teachers deserve the best, but instead, we confront a system, a status quote in public education that utterly fails to support us in our work. By and large, the undergraduate experience of most new teachers does not adequately prepare them for the shocks and challenges of
27、 the real world classroom. The vast majority of most new teachers nationwide receive no mentoring, whatsoever, no induction process worthy of the name and for veteran teachers, the picture is not much brighter. In most school districts, professional development is a joke. In-service workshops, Satan
28、 gate sessions usually at the end of a long day of teaching are mostly a disservice, so Im not in a least bit surprised that some 50% of teachers leave the profession within 5 years. What surprises me, given this systematic neglect, is that 50% stay. So we have a responsibility to work together coll

34、原文 M: This year is the 30th anniversary of the Papa Leave which means the fathers arrival to take time off work caring for the baby and shopping for the family. Tonight, on our show, we have invited Mrs. Brown, a specialist in this field, to comment on Papa Leave in Sweden. Mrs. Brown, how long can
35、fathers stay away from work and if they do take a leave, do they still get paid? W: Actually, Scandinavia has long had generous parental leave. In Sweden, a couple can take up to 13 months off work between them with the stay paying 80% of lost wages up to a ceiling of 3,425 dollars a month. A furthe
36、r 90 days can be taken for a token sum. The leave can be used in block or take in batches before the child is 8. It is notionally divided 50 to 50 but except for 2 months. It can be transferred between the parents. M: Are fathers willing to take papa leave? W: Many Swedish fathers are reluctant to u
37、se their papa month. Mothers take as much as 85% of all the parental leave. This frustrates feminists who believe “that shared responsibility for childcare is a key to equality in the labor market. Sweden has one of the worlds highest rates of female participation in the labor force, but womens wage
38、s still lag behind mens and only 2 out of 282 listed companies have female chief executives. M: How does the government look at this? W: The government sympathizes. It is impressed by evidence that fathers who take more responsibility for small children are more likely to stay in contact. Shall the
39、family break up? A commission is looking into ways to increase fathers take-up of parental leave. Some people want to scrap the transfer of leave between partners. They say only such a drastic measure can force men to take their responsibilities.(2).What is one feature of the parental leave in Swede

D.解析：听力原文 The most important issue at the moment is to change the public education system and to upgrade the training teachers required to have. Some people say that its realistic to think that g
43、enuine reform of public education can take place, but I dont think its going to happen easily. Obviously, the teachers unions and education establishment will find every little threat to their monopoly. As weve seen, in the way they go out to vulture proposals in every way they can. I like to remain
44、 optimism and eventually, we are going to swing things around. But the Democratic Party is almost completely in locked step with the teachers unions, and now we have to be overcome. To tell you the truth, I think we are leaning towards a model of education in the future that is outside public educat
45、ion. I think we may be heading towards a home-school co-op model, perhaps being to technology and private schools, aided by tuition tax credits and scholarship organizations. They can help poor kids go to these alternative schools. Such developments are outside the public school system and I think i
46、n the long term they may be the most hopeful. Already, we have nearly 2 million children been home-schooled. Only 20 years ago, I think there were only a few thousand. In the home-school co-ops, youll have maybe 4 or 5 parents working together and maybe 3 or 4 of them will work to support the parent
