M: Have you noticed the new dustbin downstairs, atthe entrance of the main building?

W: Yeah, of course. It looks funny, though, like abattery. What's it for? Is it really for garbage?

M: Not really. Actually it's a dustbin for usedbatteries.

W: Used batteries? What do you mean by that? Whydo we need a special dustbin for used batteries?

M: Well, you know there are still a lot of heavy metals left in used batteries, so by recycling thebatteries, [23]we can not only make full use of the metals left, but also prevent theenvironment from being polluted.

W: Oh, I see. Can this work? Our efforts are too insignificant.

M: Even though we are not ecologists or biologists, there is still a lot we can do. [24]TheStudent Union is sponsoring a one-month program called "Green Movement", which is aimed atmaking more and more students aware of serious environmental problems we are facing now.

W: Sounds quite exciting-"Green Movement". What, for example, can I do?

M: Well, quite a lot. For one thing, you can stop using those plastic meal-boxes anddisposable wooden chopsticks.

【大学英语四级听力材料】

[26/27]Do you remember a time when people were a little nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do. And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance to get off first, or never saying "thank you" when others hold a door open for them. We get lazy and in our laziness we think that something like a simple "thank you" doesn't really matter. But it can matter very much. The fact is that no matter how nicely we dress or how beautifully we decorate our homes, we can't be truly elegant without good manners, because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand. In fact, I think of good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. [28]Haven't you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? It's funny how that happens, but it does. Take the long-lost art of saying "thank you" like wearing a little make-up, or making sure your hair is neat. Getting into the habit of saying "thank you" can make you feel better about yourself. [26]Good manners add to your image, while an angry face makes the best-dressed person look ugly.

【大学英语四级听力参考答案】

Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

23. What are the two speakers doing?

正确答案：B

解析：主旨题。四个选项的话题对话中都提到了，但整个对话由新垃圾箱引出电池回收问题，并进而谈到开展环保活动，最后男士告诉女士明天有一个讲座，可以让人们更深刻地认识环境问题。选项A、D都是围绕B项内容展开，只是对话的部分内容，不能用于概括大意，故答案为B。而C错在collect。

24. What is the purpose of the "Green Movement"?

正确答案：D

解析：细节题。男士提到“绿色运动”，它是学生会主办的为期一个月的活动，旨在让更多的学生意识到环境污染的严重性。因此，答案应该是D。其他选项都是具体做法，而且不完全与该运动相关。本题答案所在的句子较长，信息量大，考查学生的基本功。考生平时应有意识地多听长句，熟悉其结构组成，考试时遇到方能得心应手。

25. What will the woman do tomorrow afternoon?

正确答案：A

解析：细节题。男士说明天下午有个讲座，如果有兴趣的话可以参加。女士回答说，明天下午正好有空，会去的，所以答案为A。符合“听到什么选什么”的原则。C是长期行为，不是明天下午要做的事。

Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.

26. What is the passage mainly about?

正确答案：C

解析：主旨题。关键是要听到首尾句及核心词。第1句中作者对于“人与人之间曾经更友好、更和气的时代”的怀念和最后一句中“礼貌能提升你的形象”，都说明good manners的重要性，所以答案为C。作者建议养成说“谢谢”的习惯，而不是在讲述说“谢谢”的艺术，故A不正确;作者说“我把讲礼貌看成一种深藏不露的美丽秘诀”，并不是告诉我们保持美丽的秘密，故B不正确;文中说“优雅与礼貌是一致的”，故D不正确。

27. What does the speaker say about people of the past?

正确答案：A

解析：题目询问作者认为以前人们是怎么样的。关键是要听到文章首句：“你们记得以前那个人与人之间曾经更友好、更和气的时代吗?”其中就包含选项A中的nicer and gentler。选项B、C、D的内容文中均未提及。

28. According to the speaker, how can we best improve our image?

正确答案：B

解析：题目询问根据作者的说法，我们怎样才能最好地提升自己的形象。关键是要听到“你们没注意到最和善、最大方的人看上去越来越漂亮吗?”其中包含选项B中的kind和generous，而keep getting prettier对应题目中的improve our image。
