懂你英语level5-Unit2-Part4【Dictation

学到level5，明显感觉吃力。听力语法和口语多听几遍还可以过关，最难攻克的是每一单元的dictation，既要一遍听出音频，又要快速记忆，在规定时间范围内写下来完成句子，词汇量之大，句子之长，难度系数之大可想而知。昨晚几乎两个小时，也没能闯过这一关，头都大了。
有点急，可又不甘心，返回去复习前几部分，成绩略好，但还是没通过。想起以前班级群里那些学霸曾说，好像能下载课程文本，心里豁然开朗，去度娘搜索，还真是苍天眷顾有心人，每一级每一单元每个部分每一课都有前辈提供的资料。找到自己需要的，先整理在此，小样儿，dictation，今晚儿必须把你搞定！
感谢那些陌生的慷慨的朋友，，学习同行的路上有你不孤单啊！

【Passage 1】

Further examinations revealed something more about how he may have died.

Using a CT scan, scientists found blood in his brain.

This indicated that he was struck on the head before he died.

Either he was hit on the head or he fell and struck his head on a rock.

【Passage 2】

1. The Iceman lived at the end of the Stone Age, a time of great change in human history.

People were beginning to farm and forming permanent communities.

These communities were claiming territory and setting up boundaries.

As a result, sometimes they had to fight to defend their territory from outsiders.

The lower part of his body was still frozen in ice, but the upper part was uncovered and visible.

Once the body was extracted from the ice, it was taken in for examination.

Upon examination, scientists determined that the Iceman lived around 5300 years ago.

This was at the end of the Stone Age, nearly 1000 years before the great pyramids were built.

This made him the oldest mummy ever found.

【Passage 3】

（1）The color red, for example, is a warm color, associated with energy and excitement in many cultures.

In China, red is associated with fire, energy and good fortune.

On the other hand, one experiment showed that exposing students to red before taking a test can have a negative effect.

In fact, of all the colors, research shows that red has the most powerful effect on human behavior.

（2）

Light and Color
People have wondered about the nature of light and color since ancient times.
Some people thought that light came from the eye rather than coming into the eye.
To see, light was projected from our eyes to illuminate things as we look at them.
Now we know that what we see is mostly reflected light, like the light from the moon which is reflected sunlight.
Light comes from a light source, such as the Sun, and either enters our eyes directly or after it has reflected off something.

【Passage 4】

If the Iceman was important, he may have been the leader of his community.

One leading theory about his death is that he was assassinated.

In ancient times, to take power, you often had to kill the leader.

Perhaps the Iceman was the target of an assassination.

Our company has been doing well, but our growth rate has declined.

This is because we have been too conservative.

If we want to continue growing, we need to be more innovative.

Such an acquisition could also bring us new technology.

The Greek philosopher, Plato, said love makes us complete.

He relates a comic story in which humans originally had 4 arms, 4 legs and 2 faces.

Then, when they angered the Gods, they were cut in half.

Since then every person has been searching for their soulmate, the other half of his or her self.
