显然背过下列十个长段子对大多数考生而言，都是个“梦魇”。但不要忘记“不经历风雨，怎能见彩虹？”的道理。 为了彻底攻克TOEFL听力的长段落，我们惟有步步为营，稳扎稳打…… 选出的十个段落涵盖TOEFL听力段落的三大类型：1）生活类 2）文科类3）理科类。具有极强的代表性和示范性。 ? 1． [2000.1.（39）——（42）] It may seem strange that we’re discussing music from a Broadway production in this class, “The Lion King” especially, since it’s based on a popular Hollywood movie. I mean music performed for Broadway theater in the heart of New York city surely would seem to be in the western tradition of popular music and not have much in common with the music we have been studying in this course, such as gamelan music of Indonesia, or Zulu chants of South Africa, music that developed outside the western tradition of Europe and America. But in fact, musicians have a long-standing tradition of borrowing from one another’s cultures. And this production’s director intentionally included both western and non-western music.
