2012新视野大学英语视听说教程第二版第2册答案

A: Was anything stolen?

B: Yes. All my cash in the drawer, and my mobile phone too. And they broke all the glass.

A: OK, an officer will come in about 20 minutes. Please don?t leave fingerprints anywhere.

Model 3 We should create harsher sentences for bootleggers.

Jane: It?s about time that the government got tough with bootleggers. Their fake liquors have already killed several people.

Peter: Yeah, that?s too high a price to pay. It?s almost a rip-off. The bootleggers use industrial alcohol to cut costs and increase profits. Jane: Perhaps we should cut taxes on liquor. With lower taxes, bootlegging will decrease.

Peter: But that can create a new problem. That?s not in agreement with the WTO rules.

Jane: I think through negotiation with other nations, perhaps we can cut taxes under the WTO framework.

Peter: That may be tough. Perhaps a better solution is to create harsher sentences for bootleggers.

Jane: I agree. Our country needs a special team to deal with this problem. Then we can crack down on bootlegging.

SAMPLE DIALOG

A: It?s time the government took stricter standards control on cosmetic products. The low quality cosmetics have caused various skin diseases among users.

B: Yeah, the producers use harmful ingredients to lower costs and add profits.

A: Perhaps taxes on cosmetics should be cut. With lower taxes, low quality cosmetic products will be less profitable and decrease.

B: But there is a new problem. Cutting taxes goes against the WTO rules.

A: I think by negotiating with other countries we can reduce taxes. B: That may be hard. Maybe the best idea is to take stricter standards control on cosmetic products.

A: I agree. We should have some regulations to keep a check on the production and marketing of cosmetic.

V. Let?s Talk

Texas police say they have arrested a 91-year-old man, J. L. Hunter Rountree, who is accused of robbing a bank, making him probably the oldest bank robber in U.S. history.

Police said Rountree, who was not armed, asked a teller to put money into a large envelope with the word \took down the license number of his car, and he was arrested on a highway about 15 miles outside the city.

If he is proved guilty, Rountree will face from 10 to 20 years in prison. He told police he needed the money, and he had a complaint against banks. Rountree left a prison in Florida, where he was the oldest prisoner in the state, about a year ago. Before that, he served a three-year sentence for a bank robbery in Florida in 1999.

In a prison interview with a journalist, Rountree said he had been a businessman in Texas but had fallen on hard times. He said he robbed his first bank when he was about 80 because he wanted to get revenge against banks.

\haven't liked banks since,\even. And I have.\

VI. Further Listening and Speaking Task 1: Describing a Robbery

Detective: Okay, Ms. Brown, just calm down. Could you start from the beginning and tell me what happened?

Janet: Well, let?s see. I was sitting at the table near the window when two men rushed in and told everyone to freeze.

Detective: Can you describe the man？

Janet: One was tall and with a long coat on. The other was shorter in a red jacket.

Detective: After they burst in what did they do?

Janet: Well. The tall one pointed his gun at the clerk and told him to open the cash register. The short one was watching the rest of us. The

clerk hesitated a minute and just then the restaurant manger came out of his office. That surprised the thieves.

Detective: Yeah, let?s see… The manger?s name is Mr. Jackson. I guess he had the key to the safe?

Janet: Yeah! That?s right! Because the thieves told him to open the safe. The short one went with him. As the manger turned to go back to the office, he told the clerk to cooperate with him.

Detective: Did the boss open up the safe?

Janet: Yeah, he went back into the office and opened it. He seemed pretty calm, not like the customers. I think that guy deserves a medal or something.

Sam: You all do. Living through a robbery is a tough experience. 1. everyone freeze

2. tall , shorter, red jacket

3. his gun, open ,the rest of the people 4. key, safe 5. calm ,a medal

Task 2: Who?s the Murderer?

A passing police car heard loud screams and responded immediately. When the police arrived at the scene, hey found Pete?s dead body in his backyard, with man knife wounds and blood everywhere. The officer immediately went to question the three neighbors that had been outside in the past thirty minutes.

Blake Smith had just finished painting his porch when the officer came. A young, polite man, Blake wiped his hands on his clean jeans before shaking hands, and said,” I really didn?t see or hear anything,” he added apologetically. Nelson Brown had been in his garden, right next door to the victim?s yard. He said,” I was in and out of the house. Weeding.” His hands were dirty. Then he added,” Inside, I was repairing a chair, It all must have happened when I was indoors. Sorry.”

Kenny Green?s story seemed less believable.” I was on a ladder, washing my windows,” the middle-aged man admitted. The officer could see that Kenny?s yard overlooked the victim?s. But Kenny claimed,” I never looked over into Pete?s yard, nor did I hear anything.”

Now the officer believed that one of the guys was lying. Who was this man?

Task 3: The theft of personal information

The list of institutions where personal information was reported to have been stolen or lost this year is long, including many large banks,

hospitals, universities and automobile stores. These places contain large numbers of precious records coveted by ID thieves. Even the

Department of Justice is reported to have lost personal records when a laptop was stolen!

The most common causes of these incidents are reported to be hacking and lost records. Also, the theft of personal records can be an inside job, where employees who have access to computer systems are tempted to steal large volumes of customer personal data records. This temptation can be real, because stolen personal data can sell anywhere from $10 to $60 per record.

Identity theft could be happening to you right now and you wouldn't know it until the damage was done. Even more disturbing is that

newborns and the elderly are often the favorite victims of identity thieves, because the abuse of their personal information can go on longer before it is found out.

Today, the theft of personal records is more dangerous than the loss of personal information through the careless discarding of credit card receipts or mail.

Protecting Intellectual Property Rights

Richard: I understand why publishing houses have called for a crack down on illegal copies of books. It?s a big loss for them if everyone buys pirated books instead of paying the full price.

Nancy: I agree. If the publishers don?t take action against illegal publications, they and the authors of the books lose money. Then the publishers have to save money by lowering the quality of their books. Richard: That?s why intellectual property rights have to be protected. It will do do good not only for the publishers, but to consumers as well. Nancy: You said it. I?m all for protecting intellectual property rights. But I also think books are getting more expensive every day, and some students have no choice but yo buy cheap books.

Richard: I beg to disagree. There is no excuse for college kids to buy mobile phones and then saythey can?t afford books.

Nancy: But to really solve the piracy problem, we need cheaper books as well as harsher punishments. Unit9
