文本解說

本文是一篇新聞報道。周日，紐約市前市長邁克爾·布隆伯格宣布，他正在向他的母校捐贈18億美元，這是有史以來給世界上所有教育機構(gòu)最大的財政資助。邁克爾·布隆伯格希望此舉能增加對在馬里蘭州巴爾的摩地區(qū)大學(xué)的中低收入學(xué)生的資助，校長羅納德·丹尼爾斯稱這一禮物為“前所未有的變革”。他說，這次捐款將使學(xué)校永久遵循不考慮經(jīng)濟能力的招生政策，這意味著約翰·霍普金斯大學(xué)會接納最好的學(xué)生，不管他們是否有能力支付他們的教育費用。

文章含大量的數(shù)據(jù)，同時包括了多個不同身份的人物，聽讀時要理清數(shù)據(jù)和人物關(guān)系。同時，文章還含不少專有名詞。因此，聽力測試過程中要培養(yǎng)處亂不驚的良好心態(tài)。

Former New York CityMayorMichael Bloomberg announced he is donating$1.8 billion to his former school,JohnsHopkinsUniversityon Sunday.

Bloomberg said he is doing so to increase financial aid for low-and middle-income students at the university inBaltimore,Maryland.

TheChronicleofHigherEducationsays it is the largest financial gift ever to any education institution in the world.The largest donation to higher education had been a gift from theBill&MelindaGatesFoundation.In 1999,the private organization launched theGatesMillennium ScholarsProgramwith a$1 billion commitment over 20 years.

The next largest donation listed went toVedantaUniversityin Konark,India.TheAnilAgarwal Foundationspent about$1 billion to help establish the school in 2006.Johns Hopkins'representatives said the gift willmake it possible for the school to remove student loans as part of its financial aid offerings starting next fall.Instead,the university will offer students scholarships that do not have to be repaid.University President Ronald Daniels called the gift“unprecedentedandtransformative”.He said Bloomberg's donation will let the school permanently follow “need-blind admissions”policy.Being need-blind means Johns Hopkinswill admit the best students,regardless of their ability to pay for their education.

Daniels noted that the schoolwas established in 1876 by a$7 million gift from Baltimore businessman Johns Hopkins.At the time,that giftwas the largest of its kind.Bloomberg said he expects themoney will permit Hopkins to offer larger scholarships and reduce debt for students.Denying students'entry to a college based on their ability to payunderminesequal opportunity.

Bloomberg completed his study at Hopkins in 1964.He paid for his study with a student loan and a job at the school.At the age of 76,Bloomberg is one of theworld'swealthiest people.He created the international finance service and media company,Bloomberg.He also served as New York mayor from 2002 to 2013 and has considered running for president for years.This includes in 2020.

聽力策略指導(dǎo)

聽力數(shù)據(jù)題解題策略

準(zhǔn)確地理解英語口語、獲取具體信息是一項重要的語言技能。為了說明和解釋主旨，對話需要一些具體信息，如時間、年代、價錢和數(shù)量等，這些信息是理解對話和把握對話主旨不可缺少的內(nèi)容。聽力數(shù)據(jù)題在試題中占相當(dāng)大的比例，這類題要求學(xué)生在聽清、聽懂主要細(xì)節(jié)的同時，還要進行簡單的數(shù)字運算、時間比較等。

做與數(shù)字有關(guān)的題目時，要注意聽清詞尾的讀音，比如是-teen還是-ty；是基數(shù)詞還是序數(shù)詞。同時還要了解多位數(shù)的讀法，如百位數(shù)和十位數(shù)之間要有個and。要注意時間、房間號碼、電話號碼和年代等數(shù)字的讀法，例如：5:15可以讀成five fifteen、a quarter past five或fifteen past five；二十世紀(jì)九十年代（1990s）要讀成nineteen nineties。要注意分?jǐn)?shù)、小數(shù)和倍數(shù)的讀法等。
