Part 4 Compound Dictation     

Directions:In this section you will hear a passage or passages three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the information you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.

Questions 39 to 49 are based on the same passage.

If I were a freshman again I should not work so many hours as I did. I had put in enough hours with my books, but I did not (39)----------- much. I had little concentration. Just like many students, I spent a great deal of time in getting ready to work. With a book in hand, I looked out of the window at the clouds or at the pretty girls passing along the street, and all the time I (40) ----------- myself with the idea that I am working.

For many evenings, when the work was heavy, I would (41) ----------- to begin early and complete all the tasks; but I could spend half an hour in (42) -----------my books and getting myself seated in a comfortable chair. All this time I imagined I was working. If I were a freshman I should plan my work, I should try to (43) -----------concentration—I should work harder but not so long.

As a freshman, I should take more work that I have no special (44) ----------- for or that I find difficult. I like an easy time, just like any one else, and I do not wish to give the (45) -----------that I think it's wrong for a student to follow the (46) -----------he enjoys or to do the work he likes. I think that those things we do most easily we shall do best; but I have found that training comes through struggle, and that people who resist most are developed most. (47) -----------. Half the things I am forced to do during the busy days of the college year are unpleasant things and things I dislike doing. (48) -----------. However, it was those things that help me grow and grow fast. (49) -----------.

Questions 50 to 60 are based on the same passage.

What is good education? Is it one that covers as much as possible of human history and (50) -----------, past and present? Or one that gives graduates the ability to find a job when they leave school? Is it a broad education or a (51) -----------one? Should it provide students with a (52) -----------collection of facts? Or merely train them to think? Should a future engineer gain only the knowledge that will enable him to do his job properly, or would a richer background improve his (53) ----------- ability as well as his personal life?

In the 18th and the 19th centuries, the question was not even worth asking. A good education was, of course, a broad one based on the humanities. An (54) ----------- man knew "something about everything". He was (55) ----------- with the great deeds and the great ideas of the past. He had read (56) -----------; he was able to use his own language correctly and often (57) -----------. He could join in any conversation about plants, planets, painters, or politics. He was at ease in the world, (58) -----------.

But sciences and techniques have changed a great deal since the latter part of the 19th century, and the world has changed too. It has become more complex and increasingly specialized. (59) -----------. It is not only the scientist and the physician who need a long special training now, but the administrator, the computer expert, the accountant, and the business manager. (60) -----------. The best qualified wins.

Questions 61 to 71 are based on the same passage.

The campus of a large American university (61) ----------- a small city. With stores, restaurants, and banks, most campuses can meet your most (62) -----------needs. Many campuses also offer numerous forms of (63) -----------, including sporting events, live theater, movies, and (64) -----------. Typically, the larger the university, the more activities it supports.

Universities also have a wide (65) -----------of support services available to their students, and to international students in (66) -----------. Some provide (67) ----------- in finding housing and childcare (68) ----------- or in improving your spoken or written English. They may have on-campus healthcare facilities and provide information on current health issues and health insurance. (69) -----------.

The list of services that may be available can be quite extensive. (70) -----------.

Figuring out where to go for specific needs can be confusing, especially at larger universities—but it's worth it to seek out the information you need. (71) -----------

. You can also ask for help from people who have worked at the university for some time and are knowledgeable about the university and local area.
