其实我从清明就开始听写了,听了两天"每日旧托福听写训练"就转"听力场景分类"了,基本说还是坚持下来了,边实验边备考，持续了三个月算是把场景听完了，  现在把文档整理下贴出来，但愿能有用。（附件是所有场景<下>文本）

* z" w# `9 Z1 c! @! {You may remember that a few weeks ago we discussed the question of what photography is? Is it art, or is it a method of reproducing images?

3 N6 p! }+ Q# P& J* e$ I
Alfred Stieglitz went from the United States to Germany to study engineering. While he was there, he became interested in photography and began to experiment with his camera. He took pictures under conditions that most photographers considered too difficult—he took them at night, in the rain, and of people and objects reflected in the windows. When he returned to the United States, he continued these revolutionary efforts. Stieglitz was the first person to photograph skyscrapers, clouds and views from the airplane./ l& C* ?# @+ q3 d; m  K0 L
) f. h( u0 P3 O9 G$ u
What Stieglitz was trying to do in these photographs was what he tried to do throughout his life: make photography an art. He thought that photography could be just as good form of self-expression as painting or drawing. For Stieglitz, his camera was his brush. While many photographers of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s thought of their works as a reproduction of identical images, Stieglitz saw his as a creative art form. He understood the power of camera capturing the moment. In fact, he never retouched his prints or made copies of them. If he were in this classroom today, I’m sure he’d say, “Well, painters don’t normally make extra copies of their paintings, do they?”

In the army, his men called him “Old rough and Ready”, I guess because of his rough edges. He was a kind of blunt and he didn’t really look like a military hero. He liked to do things like wear civilian clothes instead of uniform—even in battle. And he was so short and plump he had to be lifted up on to his horse. But he did win a lot of battles and he became more and more popular. So, the Whig party decided to nominate him for the presidency, even though no one knew anything about where he stoodon the issues.

I couldn’t find much about his accomplishments—probably because he was only in office about even a half before he died. But one thing—he pushed for the development of transcontinentalrailroad, because he thought it was important to form a link with west Coast—there was a lot of wealth in California and Oregon fromcommerceandmineralsstuff. Also, he established agricultural bureau in the Department of Interior7 K' }% E2 |6 G0 ^* S( `. y0 `) E6 m

第七篇（历史事件热气球）:艰难!
  J5 s4 o6 o, g: A( ?9 qI want to welcome each and every balloon enthusiast to Philadelphia. Think you for coming here this morning to commemorate the first balloon voyage in the United States. On January 9, 1793, at ten o’clock in the morning, a silk balloon lifted into the skies above this city, which was, at the time, the capital of the country.
' o9 p% ^0 H( J7 S# }6 w 7 ?1 r- d  l! q4 ]) r, A
According to the original records of the flight, the voyage lasted forty-six minutes, from its departure into Philadelphia to its landing across the Delaware River in New Jersey. Though our pilots today will try to approximate the original landing site, they’re at the mercy of the winds, so who knows where they’ll drift off to. Even the balloonist in 1793 experienced some uncertain weather that day. there were clouds, fog and mist in various directions.

promises to be nothing less than spectacular. The yellow balloon directly behind me is five stories high. It’s inflated with helium, unlike the original, which was filled with hydrogen and, unbeknownst to the pilot, potential explosive. Gas-filled models are pretty uncommon now because of the extremely high cost. So the eighty other balloons in today’s launch are hot air, heated by propane burners. These balloons are from all over the country.
