The story is very important,and even though it might take place in an imaginary world,it might have exotic gadgets.The focus is on the plot.Science fiction creates metaphors about our world.And well what it means to be human.It's meant to getpeople to think about real things like history and human behavior.That's worthy of your time,but not SCI fi.Student:Great.Well.Can I let you know next week which book I want write about?Professor:Sure.题目1.Why does the man go to see the professor?A.To find out what the assignment is for the final paperB.To discuss a conference that the professor attendedC.To get a topic area approved for a class assignmentD.To find out the difference between science fiction and sci-fi2.What was unusual about the conference that the professor attended?A.It included presentations by many scholars who were not well known to the professor.B.It included presentations by students.C.It focused on authors who are respected by most scholars.D.It focused mostly on less popular literary genres.3.Why does the professor mention Jack Vance?[Click on2answers.]A.To encourage the man to write a paper about Planet of AdventureB.To support her point that some authors should be researched moreC.To indicate a way for the man to begin looking for a suitable topicD.To demonstrate that science fiction is gaining attention from scholars4.What is the man’s attitude toward science fiction?A.He is confident that it will become more respected.B.He disagrees with a commonly held opinion about it.C.He understands why it is not well respected.D.He is impressed that it includes exotic technology.5.According to the professor,what is a key difference between sci-fi and science fiction?A.Sci-fi is intellectually more challenging than most science fiction.B.Science fiction stories are often made into films.C.Science fiction places more importance on plot than sci-fi does.D.Science fiction makes little use of exotic technology.答案C D CD B C译文1.学生：上周末的会议如何，Miles教授？2.教授：很好，我听到了很多非常精彩的演讲，以及令人耳目一新的话题，而且这些话题平时都没机会听到。

University administrator:Well,yes.I mean it sounds like there was some kind of a mix-up,but the burden is still on you to settle your library account.You know it,it might be that their records are wrong,so first I suggest you go there make sure and then you might have to go talk to professor Williams. Student:Oh,I guess I have no choice.University administrator:Don't worry too much,these things always get sorted out.Student:Yeah,you’re right.It's no big thing,I should be more worried about my job,interview,then about this. University administrator:And when it’s all worked out,come back here for your paper work.题目.Why does the student go to see the woman?A.To make sure he has completed enough course work to graduateB.To find out when his student loan must be paid backC.To pick up an administrative formD.To complain about a library fine2.What is the student's problem?A.He forgot to return some library books.B.He cannot start paying off his student loan yet.C.He paid his graduation fee too late.D.He owes money to the music library.3.Who is Professor Williams?A.The head of the libraryB.The director of a play the student was inC.The student's music professorD.The person who arranged a job interview for the student4.What is the most likely reason the student did not receive the notice from the library?A.He recently moved.B.He has been out of town.C.The library just mailed it the day before.D.The library sent it to Professor Williams.5.What can be inferred about the student when he says this: University administrator:Well,yes.I mean it sounds like there was some kind of a mix-up,but the burden is still on you to settle your library account.You know it,it might be that their records are wrong,so first I suggest you go there make sure and then you might have to go talk to professor Williams. Student:Oh,I guess I have no choice.A.He is not sure how to respond to the woman.B.He feels he has been treated unfairly.C.He wonders if there is another solution.D.He does not think the woman's suggestions will work.答案C D B A B译文1.学生：嗨！我是Robert West，我们之前有约。

Employee: Hi. Here for your room key?Student: Actually, no, I got a bill in the mail today.Employee: Yeah, don’t worry about it. Some students got a second copy of their housing bills. You can just ignore it if you’ve already paid.Student: Yeah, no, actually it’s my phone bill. I just got it and it looks like there were all these calls made during the summer break, and I wasn’t even here. I turned in my room key at the end of last term.Employee: Right, but do you remember making arrangements to have your phone service turned off before you left?Student: Was I supposed to do that?Employee: Yeah, you were.Student: I didn’t know that.Employee: Yeah, it’s in the contract.Student: What contract?Employee: Okay, you had service with the phone company, right?Student: Sure.Employee: And you got a copy of the contract when you signed out.Student: Yeah, I guess so.Employee: Well, okay then, it’s buried in the details of the contract in fine print. And I’ve got to admit that I might not have noticed it myself but I’ve dealt with two or three other cases like this. And it does state that it’s your responsibility to cancel the service.Student: Really?Employee: I’m afraid so. You might not have seen it, but it’s in there.Student: But I thought that the housing office automatically shuts the service off when the university closes for the summer break.Employee: I’m afraid not. Classes may end for you, but the university doesn’t close down. We have a whole summer program of short courses, so it’s likely that someone who was enrolled in the summer program was assigned to your old room and when they might plug the phone in...Student: The service was already there. Oh, wow! I really made a stupid mistake. Employee: Oh, well, don’t be too hard on yourself. There is a chance we could do something. What was your old room number?Student: Baker Hall, Room 622.Employee: Okay. It looks like someone did stay there over the break. What I can do is contact them and ask them to give us a call, then we’ll explain what happened and we’ll give them your contact information.Student: Okay, but what if you don’t get a reply.Employee: Well, I hope that doesn’t happen, because if it does, then you are on your own. Again, what it comes down to is this，you signed a contract with the phone company, and there is really not much we can do to help you at this point.题目1.Why does the student go to the housing office?A. To request a telephone for her dormitory roomB. To turn in the key to her dormitory roomC. To ask about an unexpected bill she receivedD. To request an explanation about a bill she had already paid2.What mistake did the student make?A. She forgot to pay her housing fee.B. She did not cancel her telephone service.C.

The student did not read the contract carefully.4.What does the man imply about the telephone bill?A. It might have been sent to the student by mistake.B. It may be larger than the student expects.C. The student may need to pay it.D. The student should send it back to the telephone company.5.Why does the student say this:Student: Actually, no, I got a bill in the mail today.Employee: Yeah, don’t worry about it.

下面就让小编来为大家介绍一下托福听力TPO1原文中Conversation 1的文本内容吧，大家要好好把握，这些都是非常有价值的材料，希望能够给准备托福听力的同学带来帮助。
TPO 1 Conversation 1NarratorListen to part of a conversation between a student and a librarian.StudentHi, um…, I really hope you can help me.LibrarianThat’s why I’m here. What can I do for you?StudentI’m supposed to do a literature review for my psychology course, but … having a hard time finding articles. I don’t even know where to start looking.LibrarianYou said this is for your psychology course, right? So your focus is on …StudentDream Interpretation.LibrarianWell, you have a focus, so that’s already a good start. Hmmm… well, there’re a few things… oh wait… have you checked to see if your professor put any material for you to look at on reserve?StudentAha, that’s one thing I did know to do. I just copied an article, but I still need three more on my topic from three different journals.LibrarianLet’s get you going on looking for those then. We have printed versions of twenty or so psychology journals in the Reference Section. These are ones published within the last year. Now that I think about it… there’s a journal named Sleep and Dreams.StudentOh, yeah, the article I just copied is from that journal, so I’ve got to look in other sources.LibrarianOk, actually, most of our materials are available electronically now. You can access psychology databases or electronic journals and articles through the library’s computers, and if you want to search by title with the word ‘dream’for example, just type it in and all the articles with ‘dream’in the title will come up on the screen.StudentCool, that’s great! Too bad I cannot do this from home.LibrarianBut you can. All of the library’s databases and electronic sources can be accessed through any computer connected to the university network.StudentReally?! I can’t believe I didn’t know that. It still sounds like it’s going to take a while though, you know, going through all of that information, all of those sources.LibrarianMaybe, but you already narrowed your search down to articles on Dream Interpretation, so it shouldn’t be too bad. And you probably notice that there’s an abstract or summary at the top of the first page of the article you copied. When you go into the databases and electronic sources, you have the option to display the abstracts on the computer screen, skimming those to decide whether or not you want to read the whole article should cut down some time.StudentRight, abstracts! They’ll definitely make the project more doable.I guess I should try out the electronic search while I’m still here then, you know, just in case.LibrarianSure, er… that computer’s free over there, and I’ll be here till five this afternoon.StudentThanks, I feel a lot better about this assignment now.翻译独白：听一段学生和图书管理员的对话。
英语六级听力新题型模拟听写训练-第6套长对话(1)
英语六级听力新题型模拟听写训练:第6套长对话(1)Conversation One对话一W: Nigel Lynch is editor of Business Travel Weekly. Nigel, thanks for being on the show. Now, what kind of problems do airline passengers face nowadays?女：奈杰尔·林奇是来自《商旅周刊》的编辑。
奈杰尔，感谢你参加今天的节目。
航空乘客现在面临着哪些问题？M: Well most of the problems are caused by the heavy volume of traffic. And if the weather is bad, you can imagine what the situation is like. Another problem that's very common is overbooking.男：大部分的问题是由繁重的交通量造成的。
而且如果天气情况恶劣，你可以想象出场面将会如何。
另外一个非常常见的问题是超额预订。
W: So, what advice would you give to business travelers?女：那么你对商务旅客有什么样的建议呢？M: I'd say, avoid big airports, if you can. Then, remember not to check your baggage if you can help it. Another thing is: be prepared for delays.男：我想说，如果可能的话，避免去比较大的机场。
然后还要记得，如果行李可以随身携带就不要托运。
还有一件事就是做好飞机延误的准备。
W: Nigel, what kind of mistakes do inexperienced travelers make?女：奈杰尔，一般没有经验的乘客会犯什么样的错？M: The first mistake business travelers makeis to take far too much luggage. Remember, take only carry-on luggage, because in most airports, you can get away with two small bags. Another mistake people make is to think that you have to pay full price for air tickets. You should find out about the different ticket options. And another mistake is to go away for too long. Most people's efficiency and energy start to fall off after two weeks away. So my advice is to keep your trip short, only go for two weeks and never for a longer than three. Another point is, inexperienced travelers often expect everything to go according to plan. The fact is travelers need to learn to expect the unexpected.男：商务旅客最容易犯的错就是带太多行李。

The main point of the book I was referring to is that, well, in a post-modern world, we live in a world of unreal images of simulations. For example, the things we see on TV become a reality for us even though they are not in fact real. They’re representations, simulations of reality.Student: Post-modern world?Professor: Right. It came after the modern one.Student: Gee...thanks a lot.Professor: No, sorry. You are right. Post-modern, well, that’s a sticky term that covers a lot of things. Let’s save that for later. But back to my point about simulation, it leads to hyper-realism, a feeling that something is more real than real.Student: Wow…Wow, I’m sorry. But all this is…I just don’t get it.Professor: Video games, virtual reality, theme parks, all of these remove us from reality. Worse yet, we can begin to think these simulations, these fake experiences are real, or we don’t know the difference anymore.Student: Well, actually I’m starting to think this class is not for me. In fact, I wonder if I might not do better just to drop the course.Professor: Oh, you are still having trouble following this?Student: Yeah, I just don’t think I’m cut out for philosophy. I signed up because my academic advisor…well, I feel like my advisor sort of pushed me into it. Professor: I see. If I may ask, what are you interested in?Student: I want to be a lawyer.Professor: Well, then you need a firm base in logic and argumentation, so this philosophy course is basically a necessity for you.Student: I hope not. I could only get maybe half the lecture.Professor: That’s pretty good then. I covered a lot, probably too much. And these were only some opening remarks for the first day of class. I was just skimming through some contemporary ideas and, well, more cultural theory than actual philosophy, so you needn’t worry. Starting next week, we are going to read some real philosophy, primary sources like Plato, Rousseau, Emerson. And you’ll be able to talk about them in small discussion groups led by graduate assistants.Student: Well, I don’t know.Professor: I understand you are uneasy about this course, but, well, give it another chance, attend a few more sessions, get into your assigned discussion group, then see how you feel. Look, these ideas, like what post-modernism really is. They are ideas that people developed over years, careers, lifetimes. I didn’t mean to scare you.Student: I guess I should have just taken it in the spirit it’s intended, as an intro. You are right that instead of trying to wrap my mind around every little detail all at once, I need to work on seeing the bigger picture and not getting so stressed out. Professor: Well, don’t think you are going to learn all the law right away either. Have you looked at the law library lately?Student: Yeah. Talk about scary!题目1.What is the conversation mainly about?A. Reasons that philosophical concepts are difficult to defineB. The intended purpose of the discussion groupsC. The student's difficulties in trying to understand some informationD. The relevance of philosophy to the student's long-term goals2.How does the student feel about the professor's explanation of simulations?A. He finds it amusing and interesting.B. He feels even more confused than before.C. He is grateful for the clarification.D. He realizes that he already understands the general concept.3.Who influenced the student to sign up for the philosophy course?A. The philosophy professorB. A law librarianC. A graduate assistantD. An academic adviser4.What does the professor imply that she should have done differently in the first class?A. She should have stressed the practical importance of philosophy.B. She should have discussed the readings for the course in greater detail.C. She should not have included so much material in the lecture.D. She should not have frightened the students by mentioning a challenging assignment.5.What does the professor imply will make the student feel more comfortable with the course in the future?[Click on 2 answers.]A. She will explain postmodernism in much more detail.B. The class will read works by writers whose ideas she expects will interest the student.C. The student will have opportunities to talk about the course material in a small group.D. The student will be able to make use of the law library.答案C BD C BC译文请听一段学生和教授之间的对话。

托福TPO6听力Conversation1文本 Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the university’s career services office. Student: Hi, do you have a minute? Employee: Sure, how can I help you? Student: I have a couple of questions about the career fair next week. Employee: OK, shoot. Student: Um ...well, are seniors the only ones who can go? I mean, you know, they are finishing school this year and getting their degrees and everything. And, well, it seems like businesses would wanna talk to them and not first year students like me. Employee: No, no, the career fair is opened to all our students and we encourage anyone who’s interested to go check it out. Student: Well, that’s good to know. Employee: You’ve seen the flyers and posters around campus, I assume. Student: Sure, can’t miss them. I mean, they all say where and when the fair is, just not who should attend. Employee: Actually they do, but it’s in the small print. Uh, we should probably make that part easier to reach, shouldn’t we? I’ll make a note of that right now. So, do you have any other questions? Student: Yes, actually I do now. Um ...since I’d only be going to familiarize myself with the process – you know, check it out. I was wondering if there is anything you recommend that I do to prepare. Employee: That’s actually a very good question. Well, as you know, the career fair is generally an opportunity for local businesses to recruit new employees, and for soon-to-be graduates to have interviews with several companies they might be interested in working for. Now, in your case, even though you wouldn’t be looking for employment right now, it still wouldn’t hurt for you to prepare much like youwould if you were looking for a job. Student: You mean, like get my resume together and wear a suit? Employee: That’s a given. I was thinking more along the lines of doing some research. The flyers and posters list all the businesses that are sending representatives to the career fair. Um ...what’s your major or do you to have one yet? Student: Well, I haven’t declared a major yet, but I’m strongly considering accounting. See, that’s part of the reason I wanna go to the fair, to help me decide if that’s what I really want to study. Employee: That’s very wise. Well, I suggest that you get on the computer and learn more about the accounting companies in particular that would be attending. You can learn a lot about companies from their internet websites. Then prepare a list of questions. Student: Questions, hmm… so, in a way, I’ll be interviewing them? Employee: That’s one way of looking at it. Think about it for a second. What do you want to know about working for an accounting firm? Student: Well, there is the job itself, and salary of course, and working conditions. I mean, would I have an office, or would I work in a big room with a zillion other employees, and…and maybe about opportunities for advancement. Employee: See? Those’re all important things to know. After you do some research, you’ll be able to tailor your questions to the particular company you are talking to. Student: Wow, I’m glad I came by here. So, it looks like I’ve got some work to do. Employee: And if you plan on attending future career fairs, I recommend you sign up for one of our interview workshops. Student: I’ll do that. 托福TPO6听力Conversation1题目 Question 1 of 5 Why does the student go to the career services office?。
TPO6综合写作听力文本
READINGCommunal online encyclopedias represent one of the latest resources to be found on the Internet. They are in many respects like traditional printed encyclopedias collections of articles on various subjects. What is specific to these online encyclopedias, however, is that any Internet user can contribute a new article or make an editorial change in an existing one. As a result, the encyclopedia is authored by the whole community of Internet users. The idea might sound attractive, but the communal online encyclopedias have several important problems that make them much less valuable than traditional, printed encyclopedias.First, contributors to a communal online encyclopedia often lack academic credentials, thereby making their contributions partially informed at best and downright inaccurate in many cases. Traditional encyclopedias are written by trained experts who adhere to standards of academic rigor that nonspecialists cannot really achieve.Second, even if the original entry in the online encyclopedia is correct, the communal nature of these online encyclopedias gives unscrupulous users and vandals or hackers the opportunity to fabricate, delete, and corrupt information in the encyclopedia. Once changes have been made to the original text, an unsuspecting user cannot tell the entry has been tampered with. None of this is possible with a traditional encyclopedia.Third, the communal encyclopedias focus too frequently, and in too great a depth, on trivial and popular topics, which creates a false impression of what is important and what is not. A child doing research for a school project may discover that a major historical event receives as much attention in an online encyclopedia as, say, a single long-running television program. The traditional encyclopedia provides a considered view of what topics to include or exclude and contains a sense of proportion that online "democratic" communal encyclopedias do not.SPEAKERThe communal online encyclopedias will probably never beperfect ,but a small price to pay for what it does offer, the in the criticisms in the reading are largely result of pradetest against and ignores anout how far the online encyclopedia go.First ,errors, it is hardly a fair criticism that said online encyclopedia have errors, traditional encyclopedias have never been closed to perfect accurate. If you are looking for a really comprehensive reference work without any mistakes you are not going to find it, on or off line. The real point is that is easy for errors in factual(0:45) media to be corrected in aonline encyclopedia but in the printed and bounded encyclopedia the errors will remain for decades.Second, hacking, online encyclopedia have recognized the importance of protecting their articles from malicious hackers, one strategy they started using is to put the crucial facts in the articles that nobody disabuse ,in the read only format that is a format that no one can make changes to ,that ways you are making sure the crucial facts in the article is reliable. Another strategy that been used is to have special editors who is to all changes to the articles and eliminate those changes that are clearly malicious.Third, what worth knowing about, the problem for traditional encyclopedias is that they have limited so they have to decide what is important and what is not, and in practice, the judgments of the group of academics they make their decisions do not reflect great range of interests that people really have. The spaces definitely not an issue for online encyclopedias , the academic articles are still represented in the online encyclopedias, but there can be a great variety of articles and topics that accurately reflect the great diversity of user’s interests, the great diversity of articles and topics that online encyclopedias offer is one of their strongest advantages.。

TPO61Conversation1Listen to a conversation between a student and the professor.M:All right,Karen.I'm glad you stop by for our appointment.So we can chat before you write the final draft of your essay.F:Is there something wrong?I mean,is there something I forgot?M:Well,you've got the correct essay form and all that.You followed the writing guidelines very well.So there's no problem there.F:That's encouraging.Professor.M:I'm just a little unclear about some of the content.You seem to be unsure of what you want to say in a few places.And I want you to take a look at that.Don't forget the assignment was to write a review of any book you read this term and then provide an analysis.I notice you've left out your analysis.F:Oh,yeah.Um,I'm a little hazy about it,just that I’m not sure about the point the author is trying to make.early in the book.The main character of Rebecca is excited to hear about her transfer to the overseas office,but then suddenly she's rather upset about going.When I sat down to write the analysis,I just wasn't sure why.I'm notsure if the author wanted the reader to think for beggars,transfer was a good thing or a bad thing.I can't find reasons why Rebecca has this change of heart.M:Well,the author is intentionally leaving this out.This sort of ambiguity you experience in the story is a technique the writer is intentionally creating.Nothing is ever black and white.F:OhM:we don't always understand the reasons we do things right?So you might want to analyze the ways the author uses words to hint it this uncertainty.Well,I prefer the term ambiguity.F:but should I be focusing on the main character in the analysis?Or should I describe the authors writing techniques?M:Well,it really depends on how you want to develop your essay.It would be interesting to describe the events surrounding the main characters.Change of heart. You can analyze the main character in detail,filling in the gaps to see if he can find reasons in her personality,why she'd suddenly change her thoughts about the transfer. Of course,you should give examples of the words and writing techniques the author uses to create this point of view.F:Okay.M:Now to go one step further in your analysis,do you think the main character is similar to the author?And the author leaves the reader with unanswered questions about the motives of the main character?Why would the author do this?F:to create unknowing,to create an uncertain feeling.M:Okay,now you're catching on.It might be an uncomfortable feeling,but this is what the author had in mind.F:Ok.Thanks,professor.I'll go back and read the book more closelyLecture1Listen to part of a lecture in a sociology class.Sociology is really a cross disciplinary field.We find that elements of biology, psychology,and other sciences often overlap as we study particular phenomena.so let me introduce a concept from cognitive psychology.okay?Let's say someone asks you to look at a list and memorize as many items on it as he can.most of us are able to remember,on average,seven items.there are several variations of this memory test. And the results consistently show that the human limit for short term memory is seven bits of Information.this limit is called channel capacity.Channel capacity is the amount of Information that can be transmitted or received over a specific connection,like our brain and the channel capacity for our short-term memory,it has some interesting real-life implications,like phone numbers.local numbers here in the United States all have seven digits,because the phone companies realized early on that longer numbers would lead to a lot more wrong numbers being dialed.but the idea of channel capacity doesn't apply just to our cognitive abilities.it also affects our relationships with people around us.Psychologists talk about sympathy groups.These are the people,close friends,family to whom we devote the most time.we call or see them frequently.We think about them,worry about them.And studies show for each of us,the size of that group is about10to15people.but why so small?sure.Relationships take time and emotionalenergy,and most of us don't have unlimited amounts of either,but what if there's another reason?what if it's our brain that setting the limit?and in fact,there's evidence that indicates that our social channel capacity may actually be a function of our brain size,or more accurately,the size of our neocortex. The neocortex is the frontal region in the brain of mammals that's associated with complex thought.primates have the largest neo cortex is among mammals,but among different primate species,humans,apes,baboons,neocortex size varies.A lot of theories have been proposed for these variations.likemaybe it's related to the use of tools,but no theories ever seemed like a perfect explanation.Until the late1990s,what an anthropologist named Robin Dunbar published an article about his studies of primates.Dunbar theory is that if you look at any particular species of primate,you'll find that if it has a larger neocortex than it lives in a larger social group,take human beings.We have the largest neocortex.We have the largest number of social relationships.so we've said that our sympathy group is10to15people.What about our other relationships other than family?And close friends,such as those that occur in the workplace will call these social groups as opposed to sympathy groups?How many relationships can we handle there? Those relationships aren't as involved,so we can handle more of them.but is there an upper limit?Well,Dunbar says that there is,and he developed an equation to calculate it.His equation depends on knowing the ratio between the size of theneocortex and the size of the whole brain that is of the whole brain.What percentage of it is taken up by the neocortex?Once you know the average percentage for any particular species,the equation predicts the expected maximum social group size for that species.For humans,that number seems to be about150.so according to Dunnbars’equation,our social groups probably won't number more than150people.Now,Dunbar hypothesis isn't the kind of thing that's easy to confirm in a controlled experiment,but there is anecdotal evidence to support it.As part of his research, Dunbar reviewed historical records for21different traditional hunter gatherer societies.And those records showed that the average number of people in each village was just under150,148.4,to be exact.Dunbar also worked with biologists to see if his hypothesis applies to other mammals besides primates.When they looked at meat eating mammals,carnivores,they found that the ones with a larger neocortex also have a bigger social group.And the number of individuals in that group is predicted by done bars equation supporting his hypothesis.But when they looked at insect of wars,mammals that eat insects,the results were inconsistent. The data didn't disprove Dunbar hypothesis,but it wasn't a nice,neat match like the carnivore studies,which isn't totally surprising.Insectivores are hard to observe,since many of them only come out at night or they spend a lot of time underground.So we know a lot less about their social relationships.Lecture2Listen to part of a lecture in an environmental science class.Professor:Ok.So environmentalists have created green building programs in order to encourage green building construction,which means environmentally friendly buildings that produce a minimum of pollution and our energy efficient.Student:We've talked about like technologies that use solar energy for heating homes.Professor:Yes,that's certainly something these programs to advocate.but they're also concerned with construction because green building standards include the conservation of natural resources like trees.Wood homes,such as those traditionally built here in the United States,require over an acre of trees over an acre of forest land in lumber,plus three to seven tons of waste are created on average during the construction process.So,what if we could use a product that's typically considered waste to build homes?It's being done.One of the materials used in green building construction is straw bales. yes,I'm talking straw,those short stocks that are left over in farm fields after grain crops are harvested.It's hard to get rid of as a waste product,and it's usually burned. So instead of adding to air pollution problems by burning the straw,it's compressed into bales and used to build homes.Student B:Wow,I've never heard of using straw to build homes. Professor:well,straw bale construction isn't a new technique.A pioneer on the American prairie,where there were no trees,constructed their homes of straw bales over a hundred years ago.then in many of those early buildings,made in what's called the nebraska style are still standing.actually,straw bale construction has been used around the world for thousands of years.And because of the very properties that make it a nuisance waste that it's tough and hard to compost.That's what makes draw a great building material.It's the insulating properties of straw bales that are probably the strongest selling point.In fact,a standard straw bale wall provides about three times the insulation value of an insulated wall in a traditional wood frame house, which can drastically reduce the amount of heating or cooling needed to keep the house comfortable.So environmentalists love this construction method that basically turns a waste product into a building material,saving energy and saving trees.Paul?Student:So how do you make a house out of straw?It almost sounds too good to be true.Professor:Straw bale houses are actually built out of standard rectangular agricultural bales.They're stacked like bricks to form the exterior walls.Then the straw walls are sealed with stucco.a stucco is a good,tough finish.That's like cement or plaster. These stuck owed straw bale walls can then be used as the structure to support the roof.The stucco skin acts as a thin shell over the bales and makes the buildings very stable.And there are more green advantages here.But the composite effect of thestraw insulation plus the stucco coating can actually create something like a passive solar building.Passive solar means that assuming that building is oriented correctly to sun and shade,it can heat and cool itself largely without um,modern heating and air conditioning systems that consume a lot of energy.Yes,Jane?Student:But aren’t straw bale houses a fire hazard?I mean,straw burn so easily.Professor:Well,it turns out that they are actually more fire resistant than the standard wood frame construction.Individual stocks of straw will burn,of course,but when they’re compressed into bales,they became fire resistant.Because oxygen can’t circulate through the bail.Burning a bail is like trying to burn a dense stack of thick books,like telephone directory,and individual page of telephone directory will burn easily.But a thousand pages,tightly pressed together is another story.And also the stucco coating prevents oxygen from reaching the bales,further reducing its flammability.So,is straw bale construction too good to be true?Well,there has been a renewed interest in it worldwide,which is not surprising,since from an environmental standpoint,it has very specific advantages in terms of waste energy and construction processes.Unfortunately,there are drawbacks for home builders in the United States. It isn’t a common building technique yet.So,there can be difficulties getting your building plans approved,and it can be more expensive than to build a traditional wood frame home.So,this is where I think Local and national governments may havea role to play.They could encourage the construction of straw bale houses with enticements like tax breaks or reductions on fees for building permits.Conversation2Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the housing office. Employee:Hi,ready to check out?I’ll just need your key.Student:Actually,there was a problem,so I’m not checking out yet. Employee:Ok.Remember you have to clear out of your dorm by four pm today.Student:Ok.But the thing is I just got a couple of fines from the housing office that I’m supposed to pay.Employee:Yeah,we just did inspections yesterday afternoon.Student:Okay,but I don’t really agree with the fines,so I wanted to come here and see if you can help me understand what’s going on.And if I really need to pay them.Employee:Okay.Maybe I can help.So why exactly where you fined?Student:Well,for one thing,I had a really messy roommate,so the dorm room wasn’t exactly in great condition.So…Employee:So I know it may seem unfair.But the policy is that both roommates are responsible for the condition of the dormitory room.The university has this policy because there were so many cases in the past where neither person would admit to damages,making it hard for us to resolve these situations.Both parties are responsible.So even if your roommate was the one who mess the room up.Student:Okay.Well,I’m not sure that’s the fairest policy in the world,but it makes sense.So I’ll pay that fine.No problem.Employee:Ok.So was there something else?Student:Right.The real problem is with another fine for a piece of missing furniture, a chair.Employee:Well,yeah,if there’s a piece of furniture missing,the university is going to have to charge you for that.Student:But the thing is I never had a chair.I borrowed one from the lounge for the year and then returned it yesterday morning.You know I have a friend who lives in another building and his dorm room also had a chair missing,but he didn’t get a fine.Employee:Ok.But there might be differences between your situation and your friends.Um.Did you let your floor supervisor know that you had a missing chair?Student:I told her about it the day I moved in.Employee:And then…Student:Um,and then…Employee:Did she fill out a form about this?You would have gotten a copy.Student:I never saw a form.Employee:Ok.I think this is why we’re having a problem here.We need to have a paper record that your dorm room was missing a chair,just telling the floor super….Student:But honestly,I was expected to know that?that someone had to fill out a form?Employee:No,actually it was the responsibility of the floor supervisor to get that form to you when you informed her that your dorm room was missing a chair.Student:Ah.Ok.So what about the fine?Employee:Well,I’m gonna have to talk to my manager,but I guess you’re not going to have to pay that fine.Don’t write this in stone,but I’d imagine you’re going to be okay.Floor supervisors have responsibilities tooLecture3Listen to part of a lecture in a food science and technology class.One of the most popular beverages worldwide is coffee.You're probably not surprised to hear that.here in the United States,for example,more than half of the adult population drinks at least one cup of coffee every day.For various reasons,some of those who drink coffee choose to drink decaffeinated coffee either some of the time or all of the time.So,the coffee industry had to face this sort of need or demand for decaffeinated coffee.taking caffeine out wasn't a problem.It was actually taking the caffeine out without changing the flavor of the coffee or without increasing the health risk to drinking the coffee.And although coffee has been decaffeinated for probably just about a century at this point,and there's one relatively new method that's fairly commonly used these days to decaffeinate coffee,and that's super critical,fluid extraction,super critical fluid,big word.It's on the board.We can't understand the process of extracting the caffeine from the coffee.If we don't get this concept down.Pat,in order to do that,let's take a look at the phase diagram.This should be a review.So,the phase diagram,it shows the conditions of pressure and temperature at which a substance exists in1of3faces,a solid,a liquid,and a gas.so we've got pressure on the vertical axis,temperature on the horizontal.And as you know,a substance will change its phase.If you start changing temperature or pressure,for example,if we choose sort of an arbitrary pressure rightabout here,and keep the pressure constant and increase the temperature,we start as a solid,but as you can see,just follow the line going to the right.as we increase the temperature,the solid changes to a liquid,and then changes to a gas.And that's what we would expect.We certainly know that happens with ice.It goes from a solid to a liquid and to a gas.if we keep the pressure constant,now let's do it the other way and keep the temperature constant.Let's pick a couple of arbitrary temperatures and increase the pressure.we start as gas, and we go up from the axis.And we see that that gas will change either to a solid or to a liquid,depending on what temperature we're keeping constant.There is,however,a temperature at which,if we exceed that temperature,regardless of how much we increase the pressure,this gas will not change into a liquid or a solid.let's call this critical temperature point TC,so there won't be a full phase change.There will be a change in its properties.However,it won't behave like a gas anymore.it will have the properties intermediate between a liquid and a gas.and we refer to it as a super critical fluid.At that point,it's in the upper right-hand corner here.So that means it only exists at high pressure and high temperature.so that's what a super critical fluid is.Now,what about these properties?Listen carefully.A super critical fluid diffuses like a gas,and yet it's dense like a liquid.the significance of this is that a super critical fluid can go through,can permeate a solid substance.For example,a coffee bean, because it diffuses like a gas,and it can also dissolve other substances like caffeine,much like a liquid can.Because of its density,these particular6yr properties,or the values of these properties,can be fine tuned,or adjusted by changing the pressure and the temperature.Now,the way this is used in decaffeinating coffee is if we take the coffee beans and put them in a tank,that can withstand extremely high pressures,and then we take super critical carbon dioxide and pass it through the tank.So,it's passing over the coffee beans,it actually permeates the coffee beans.and if we have the pressure and temperature just right,the caffeine will selectively dissolve into the super critical carbon dioxide.Together,the super critical carbon dioxide and dissolved caffeine will pass out of that tank and into a second tank,leaving decaffeinated coffee beans behind. then we have a pressure relief valve.On that second tank,the pressure decreases.And the super critical carbon dioxide changes back into a gas,uh,which then releases the caffeine in a crystallized form.Lecture4listen to part of a lecture in an art history class.Professor:Ok.Now,unfortunately,works of art don't last forever.The question is, what do we do about that?I mean when you're going to restore art,well,there's a question isn't there?On the one hand,we want to repair the work.we want to replace a sculpture’s missing arm,for example,or make the colors of a painting that's faded and changed over time.We want to put it back like it was.we want to restore it,make it whole again,perhaps even improve it.but on the other hand,we wantto preserve the authentic remains.We don't want to change it.We want it pure true.And the history of restoration practices reflects this struggle.During the European renaissance,the16th and17th centuries,the Discovery of antiquities,ancient works of art was at an all time high, and so was restoration.but even then there was this debate.On the one hand,and this is the school of thought that's perhaps best represented by the Italian sculptor Benvenuto Chileni anyway.For Chile,neither goal was repair and not only repair Chile.Ni and others considered it their artistic prerogative to use ancient material as both a model of inspiration and as a source of raw material.many they took a lot of fragments and combine them into Complete sculptures.Student:but how did they know what the Complete sculpture looked like?If all they had was a fragment?Professor:well,that's just it.They didn't,and it didn't matter.they just create parts as they saw fit.sometimes they'd combine fragments,put together an arm from here,a leg from there.Student:you mean from different sculptures.Professor:oh,sometimes even from different time periods.Take for example,the so-called Bateman statue of mercury.the Bateman statue of mercury at the Los Angeles County Museum of art is just such a pastiche.the head isn't from the same sculptures.The body and the legs as well as the base were made by the restorer. Student A:But that's hardly restoration.That's just well creation.I guess they're just making their own sculpture out of recycled parts.Student B:Well,but what's wrong with that?I mean,why not reuse the broken bits?Student A:Well,isn't it a bit of a lie?I mean,especially if they present the restored work as the original as restored art,rather than created art,it's a matter of what's authentic and what's not.and don't you think it's a little disrespectful to use famous bits as raw material?Professor:You know.I remember Charlie knee being quoted as saying,quote,the excellence of this great artist calls me to serve him,end quote,and then he proceeded to serve him by creating from just a torso,a whole brand-new sculpture.Of course, the main the major criticism of that kind ofrestoration is that it imposes the contemporary aesthetic on the original work.the person doing the so-called restoration is no doubt influenced by the fashions and tastes of the day.Remember,they often thought of themselves as improving the work. Now,on the other hand,in contrast to Chillini were Michelangelo and company,those who thought the goal was simply preservation.Michelangelo believed ancient fragments should be left alone,preserved as is.if it's just a torso,leave it as just the torso as the original work.His view,some say,shows a far greater respect for the original art.Student B:yeah,well,Charlie probably thought he was helping the original artist by completing,perhaps even improving the original.Professor:perhaps.Student A:is more like it now.Professor:Ok,ok.now,later,though,in the18th century were talking a couple of centuries after the renaissance.Restorers who worked in the Chilean immoderate were criticized in just the ways you've suggested.They were accused of disregarding the value of ancient material and of self-aggrandizement,of using restorations to advance their own careers.And so,restorers started to incorporate attention to historical accuracy into their efforts.The field of restoration started to become more of a science than an art,though of course,art was still central,but those who engaged in restoration,now we're not so much artists as they were historians.That shift may beone of the most important moments defining the development of restoration.The gold changed from artistic invention to authenticity,from restoration to preservation.Student A:Michael Angelo would have been happy with that shift.Professor:Yes,I think he would have.。

TEST 4SECTION 1K:Conference Centre Reservations. Good morning.N:Hi. I'm interested in the computing conference next month.K:Future Directions(Example) in Computing?N:Yes, that's right. Could I ask you a few questions about it?K:Of course.N:OK. I know the conference is for three days but actually I want to attend on the Friday and Saturday only. Will that work out to be any cheaper?K:Let me have a look. Well, you could register for the two days separately, but that wouldn't actually save you very much as it still costs ￡35 for each day. In fact, if you could register for the three days, you also get an invitation to a free dinner on the Saturday night, so that's probably the better option.N:Right, I'll do that. How much will the fees be in that ease?K:It's ￡75(Q1).N:All right. I'd like to register for the full three days. Now, can I pay that by credit card?K:I'm afraid not. You'll have to send a cheque(Q2) to us, or you can pay at the conference office. N:Fine. So it's probably easiest if I pay by cheque. Now then, what else do I need to arrange? Right. How about accommodation? I guess that's not included in the price?K:No, I'm sorry, it's not, but we do have a few rooms available for delegates at the conference centre if you'd like. Those are very cheap but if you're interested you'll need to book soon, because there's always a heavy demand for them. They are only ￡15(Q3) per night, but they are very basic and you'd have to get your own breakfast, because they don't provide you withthat. But it's very convenient, because it's in the same building as the conference rooms.N:Uhuh.K:Or there's a very reasonable guest house which is ￡25(Q4) per night. And I think that includes your breakfast.N:Is it close to the conference centre?K:It would be about a ten-minute walk away from here(Q5).N:I see. That sounds quite reasonable.K:The details are all in our conference pack(Q6). which I'll send you.N:Great, thanks That'll he very useful. Oh, and can you also send me an application form?K:Of course. I'll get that in the post to you straight away. Is there anything else?N:Yes, actually. Can you tell me where exactly the conference centre is?K:Well, it's on South(Q7) Park Road and it's right at the end of the road next to the library(Q8). It's a ten-minute taxi ride from the station and will cost you ￡5(Q9). Otherwise, you can take the bus which runs every half an hour from the station - that's the 21A(Q10) - and it brings you straight to the conference centre.N:Right, got that.SECTION 2Good morning and welcome, everybody. I'm Jenny Stewart and I'm the Staff Manager hereat the exhibition centre. We're expecting this year's International Travel Exhibition to attract over 10,000 visitors a day, ladies and gentlemen, and you are among the two hundred extrastaff recruited to help look after them. Now, to help things run smoothly, we have dividedyou into four teams - the blue team, the green team, the red team, and the yellow team. Sofirst I'll explain how the teams are divided up, and then we'll be giving you colour-codedT-shirts so we can identify you more easily. First of all, those who will be looking after the phones and handling all calls regarding the exhibition, you will be on the red team. Now,we've also out the entrance staff on the red team and you'll be stamping the entrance tickets(Q11) and giving out publicity leaflets, OK?Those of you involved in distributing entrance tickets will be on the yellow team and we'vealso put those of you who'll be staffing the information booths around the conferencecentre on the yellow team, so you'll be getting a yellow T-shirt. Now, most of the hospitality staff have been put in the blue team, so the chefs among you and the kitchen hands willall need a blue T-shirt(Q12). but, because of the sheer numbers, all waiting staff will be on the yellow team, and this includes the bar staff among you. Those who will be monitoring and directing the traffic in the car parks are on the green team. (Q13) so you'll need to get a greenT-shirt. This year we've also employed a considerable number of attendants to direct the human traffic around the conference centre. Now, you'll be working in the exhibition hallat all times, giving directions and generally helping people whenever you can. and you willbe in the red team, so please collect a red T-shirt.Right, now that everyone knows what team they're in, we'll get on with the orientation and training programme and first I'll run through the rest of today's programme, which you should have in front of you, so that you can get a general idea of what else is in store today. This introduction finishes at 9.30 and then you'll be hearing from Anne Smith. Anne worksin the accounts department on level two and she looks after all temporary staff, and soshe is the person to see if you have any problems regarding pay. Anne will be explaining when and how you get this. She will also be handing out your tax(Q14) forms. And I will just stress that all tax forms must be completed and returned to Anne before your pay can be processed. Following Anne's talk you'll hear from Peter Chen, our Conference Manager,and he will be going over a plan of the conference centre with you, which will help you to orient yourselves. He will also go through the security(Q15) arrangements with you and show you the fire exits. Then at 10.30, there will be a coffee break in the staff canteen, which is located down on the ground floor(Q16). Now, after the break we'll be moving to a different location for a video presentation, so instead of coming back here, we'd like you all to goto Lecture Room three-one-one(Q17). You'll find it on this same level, just down the hall and there you will be shown a video about important safety issues in the workplace, called Safety at Work(Q18). We'll finish off the morning with lunch, which should give everyone a chance to meet and get to know each other, and we'll be serving you a buffet lunch inthe Main Hall(Q19). which is on the first floor, from 12.00 o'clock. After lunch you'll be divided up into your teams to meet your team leaders(Q20) and we're hoping to be all finished by 3.00 so I won't delay you any longer, and I'll hand over to...SECTION 3N:Good afternoon. Can 1 help you?T:Good afternoon. Yes, I've just transferred to the School of Education, and I'd like information about joining the library.N:Well, the School of Education has libraries on two sites, as I'm sure you know. This one here is the Fordham Site, and the other is on Castle Road.T:And is there any difference between the two libraries?N:Not in terms of their facilities Access to online databases and the Internet is available at both sites and each site has a range of reference(Q21) materials on education.T:Oh yes. I see.N:But the Castle Road site has books on the sociology of education and a collection of textbooks(Q22) and teaching resources covering most of the subjects taught in secondary(Q23) schools.T:Ah, right, but I'm training to be a primary teacher so I need to look at materials for the five to eleven age group.N:Then you've come to the right place. At Fordham we hold material relating to primary(Q24) education, as well as special needs, but of course you'll need to familiarise yourself with both sites to make the most of our resourcesT:You haven't mentioned periodicals. Are they held at both sites?N:Current issues, yes but if you want to look at back(Q25) issues you'll need to use the CD-ROM databases which are held here at Fordham.T:I see. Now, about borrowing books. I'm living out of town, so I'm hoping I can borrow quite a few items, and cut down on the number of trips I have to make.N: Right, well, members can borrow two books at a time from each site.T:Only two books?N:Only two from each site, hut that's four altogether.T:Oh I see, and how long can I hang on to them for?N:The borrowing period is one month, but of course books can be renewed. You can renew any item a maximum of three times.T: Do I have to come to the library to do that?N:No, you can do it by telephone or email, but you can't renew overdue(Q26) books this way, only before or on the due date stamped in the hook. We'll need your full name, your borrower number and the name of the site library you borrowed the items from.T:So theoretically I can borrow books for up to three months - is that what you're saying?N: yes, provided they're not recalled.T:So, what happens then?N:Well, sometimes an item is requested by another borrower, in which case we'd send you a letter, and you'd have to return the book within seven working days(Q27). Don't forget we're closed on Sundays.T:OK.T:I expect it'll take me a while to find what I need. There's such a lot here.N:Yes there is, but if you need help getting started, this term we're running three study skills workshops.T:Oh? What are they on?N:Er, let me see. The first one's on resources - yes, here it is. How to use the library's resources.That includes everything, not just the print and technical resources. (Q28/29/30)T:That sounds useful, Is there anything on using the Internet?N:Er, let's see. The one on the Internet for beginners was last term. This term it's finding research materials online(Q28/29/30).T:That sounds interesting too, hm, what's the last one?N:It's a worksbop on dissertations(Q28/29/30).T:What do you mean - how to write one?N:Er, no it's more to do with academic writing conventions, you know - writing a bibliography and how to refer to sources in your text. That sort of thing. Anyway, here's a leaflet with information about all three.T:Thanks a lot. That'll be very useful.N:You're welcome.SECTION 4Well, most people think that lions only come from Africa. And you would be forgiven for thinking this, because in fact most lions do come from Africa. But this hasn't always beenthe case. If we go back ten thousand years we would find that there were lions roamingvast sections of the globe. But now, unfortunately, only very small sections of the lions'former habitat remain.My particular interest is Asiatic lions, which are a sub-species of African lions. It's almosta hundred thousand years since the Asiatic lions split off and developed as a sub-species. (Q31) At one time the Asiatic lion was living as far west as Greece and they were found from there, in a band that spread east through various countries of the Middle East, all the way toIndia. In museums, you can now see Greek coins that have clear images of the Asiaticlion on them(Q32). Most of them are dated at around 500 B.C. However, Europe saw its last Asiatic lion roaming free two thousand years ago(Q33). Over the next nineteen hundred years the numbers of Asiatic lions in the other areas declined steadily, but it was only inthe nineteenth century that they disappeared from everywhere but India.So, how can you tell an Asiatic lion from an African lion, with which you're probably more familiar? Well, in general, Asiatic lions are not as big as African lions The colour is moreor less the same, but the appearance of the mane is different - that's the hair around thelion's face and neck. The Asiatic lion's mane is noticeably shorter than the African lion's Asiatic lions also have a long fold of skin on their undersides, whereas not manyAfrican lions have this(Q34).Well, I'd like to talk to you now about the Gir Sanctuary in India. That's where I've justcome back from. The sanctuary was established specifically to protect the Asiatic lion.It's 1,450(Q35) square kilometres in area and most of it is forest. There are now aroundthree hundred Asiatic lions in India and almost all of them are in thissanctuary.But despite living in a sanctuary, which makes them safe from hunters, they still face a number of problems that threaten their survival. One of these is the ever-present dangerof disease(Q36). This is what killed more than a third of Africa's Serengeti lions in 1994, and people are fearful that something similar could happen in the Gir Sanctuary and kill off many of the Asiatic lions there.India's lions are particularly vulnerable because they have a limited gene pool. The reasonfor this is interesting- it's because all of them are descended from a few dozen lions that were saved by a prince(Q37) who took a particular interest in them. He was very wealthy, and he managed to protect them otherwise they'd probably have died out completely.When you see the Asiatic lion in India, what you sense is enormous vitality. They're very impressive beasts and you would never guess that they had this vulnerability when youlook at them.The Asiatic lions don't have the Gir Sanctuary to themselves, I should add. They actually share it with about two thousand farmers. A significant proportion of the lions' diet(Q38) is made up of the livestock of these farmers - goats, chickens and so on - as much as a third,in fact. And they've even been known to attack humans(Q39), especially in times of drought. One final piece of interesting information - in ancient India one of the greatest tests of leadership(Q40) for a man was to fight a lion. Now it seems, in modern India it will be a great test to see if the lion can be saved, I'm sure this is something that all of you will share concern for too.。

Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.11. M: How was the drama? Wasn't it terrific?W: Not really, the music was enjoyable, but the story didn't make much sense to me. I still prefer traditional drama with strong characters and an exciting plot.Q: What do we learn about the play from the conversation?12. W: Sam, you look pale as if you sat up late last night.M: Actually I went to bed earlier than usual. I am tired because I gave in to my son's earnest request and took him to the zoo yesterday.Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?13. W: I ran into our friend Jim last Friday on the street and he said he hadn't heard from you for three months.M: Yes, I see. But I've been too busy to phone him.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?14. W: Professor Smith suggested that I come here to borrow a Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English.M: You're welcome to use our dictionaries, but they must not be taken out of the library. Wouldn't it be better if you had one of your own?Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?15. W: You had met Professor Black before, right? How would you describe his lectures?M: Well, let me put it this way: I could never stay awake in one of his classes without first drinking at least two cups of coffee.Q: What does the man imply?16. W: I heard that your boss has a very good impression of you and he's going to give you a vacation.M: I think I prefer to have more working hours and a higher salary.Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?17. W: Railway stations are really sad places.M: Sometimes, I guess. But we'll keep in touch with each other once a week. And I'm going to see you with New Year's Day.Q: What are the speakers doing right now?18. W: What did you think of those suggestions on the proposed income tax?M: I glanced through them but I haven't formed my opinion yet.Q: What did the man do?Now you'll hear the two long conversations.Conversation OneM: Today, as our guest on Student Radio Westmark is student organizer and well-known Biology major and activist, Adeline Reed. Adeline, welcome to the show.W: Thank you. I am glad to be here.M: First, can you give us some ideas about your work?W: Well, we've been trying to pressure the local government to resume funding of its recycling center. As you may know, they cut off funding to the main plant. Our group, Restoring Recycling Radars (or RRR), called for funding. We hope to succeed in not only getting the funding restored, but also increased.M: Since you have repeatedly said in the previous interview in the newspapers that the city government doesn't care about this. So my question is why would they listen to your group?W: Well, we've been advocating these issues for a long time and now the council is pretty split on this issue. So a push in the right direction couldn't hurt.M: Any light, so far, at the end of the tunnel?W: Plenty. The council wasn't happy about the garbage we dumped on the City Hall lawn, but they got the message. Now, they're reviewing their actions and voting tomorrow in a special council meeting.M: Well, thanks for that briefing and it was a pleasure once again to talk with you. Stay tuned now for some fine tunes from our DJ, so don't touch that dial!Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.19. What does the woman mainly talk about?20.

[13:45.80]Many find new careers and professional opportunities after they retire. [13:51.36]The number of senior citizens in the U.S.[13:55.07]is increasing rapidly because people are living longer than before. [13:59.21]The average life span for Americans is now more than 74 years. [14:04.41]Because of their larger numbers and more active life styles,[14:08.71]senior citizens are gaining social influence in the country,[14:13.14]both politically and economically.[14:15.91]Their concerns are receiving a wider audience than ever before. [14:20.13]The time may come when all Americans[14:23.17]will look forward to becoming senior citizens.[14:26.49]Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard. [14:33.82]26. According to the speaker,[14:38.30]what is the definition of senior citizens?[14:55.69]27. What do most senior citizens care when they are getting older? [15:16.93]28. According to the speaker,[15:21.68]what kind of communities do senior citizens prefer?[15:40.40]29. Why are senior citizens gaining more social influence?[16:01.94]Passage Two[16:04.80]Ann Richards was a famous Democratic Party politician[16:10.07]from the southern state of Texas.[16:12.67]She served as the governor of Texas for four years.[16:16.76]Richards was known for her big white hair, big smile,[16:21.35]and sharply funny comments.[16:23.76]She was also known for forming what she called a "New Texas" [16:28.87]during her time as governor.[16:30.61]She created a government in which women,[16:33.69]Hispanics, and African-Americans played important roles.[16:38.22]Ann Richards did not always have a career in public service.[16:42.98]As a young woman,[16:44.88]she worked as a teacher and raised four children.[16:48.44]She and her husband were very involved in local politics.[16:53.60]Richards began working hard to help Democratic Party candidates [16:58.44]win seats in the Texas legislature.[17:01.21]Then one day, she decided to run for office herself[17:05.17]-and she won.[17:06.36]She served first as country commissioner,[17:09.74]then as Texas state treasurer.[17:12.43]In 1990 she was elected governor.[17:15.99]She fought for equal rights,[17:18.13]environmental protection and laws to restrict guns.[17:22.16]After losing a second term as governor to George W. Bush,[17:26.94]Richards worked in public relations.[17:29.62]She died this September at the age of seventy-three.[17:33.48]At her funeral service,[17:35.48]leaders from around the country gathered to celebrate her life.[17:39.71]Former President Bill Clinton spoke at the service.[17:43.66]He said Ann Richards helped create a world[17:46.82]where young girls could be scientists,[17:49.16]engineers and police officers.[17:52.48]He said she was a great woman with a big heart and big dreams.[17:57.87]Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.[18:05.71]30. What does the speaker say about Ann Richards?[18:25.17]31. What did Ann Richards do before she worked as the treasurer of Texas? [18:48.13]32. What do we learn from the words of Bill Clinton?[19:09.22]Passage Three[19:12.92]The solution, both to prevent the excesses of praise[19:17.63]and the humiliation of criticism,[19:19.93]is to stop caring what other people think of you.[19:23.08]Take what is actionable from their feedback and ignore the rest.[19:27.99]Since you are the sole captain of your life,[19:30.83]don't allow others to steer the ship.[19:33.38]If I write an article, I generally receive a mix of positive comments [19:38.72]and negative comments.[19:40.35]For criticism, I seek out any actionable suggestions[19:44.97]from their comments.[19:46.46]If someone notes that I made a grammatical mistake in an article,[19:50.82]I'll happily correct it.[19:52.53]Or, if someone feels the logic of my argument was weak,[19:56.04]I can make efforts to correct it in a future discussion of the topic.[20:00.60]For praise, I take a similar approach.[20:03.60]I thank the person for their comment,[20:05.87]and see if there is anything actionable from their suggestion.[20:09.38]If several people enjoyed a topic,[20:11.81]I'll know it is something readers are interested in[20:14.82]and worth discussing again.[20:16.84]What I strive not to do,[20:18.85]with both praise and criticism,[20:21.36]is to let it get under my skin.[20:23.94]If someone writes an attack on my writing,[20:26.45]I'll remind myself that this comment[20:29.30]is just a small stone on my course,[20:32.03]and not to allow it to stop me.[20:34.80]Similarly, if I get a piece of praise,[20:37.85]I'll remind myself that this is just one view,[20:41.60]and not to let it distract me from the bigger goal.[20:45.02]Questions 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.[20:53.61]33. According to the speaker,[20:58.03]what is the solution to prevent excessive praise and criticism?[21:16.52]34. What will the speaker do if someone finds a grammatical mistake in his article? [21:40.02]35. What will the speaker think if several people enjoyed a topic?[22:01.67]Section C[22:05.87]Directions: In this section,[22:09.17]you will hear a passage three times.[22:11.75]When the passage is read for the first time,[22:14.75]you should listen carefully for its general idea.[22:17.91]When the passage is read for the second time,[22:20.86]you are required to fill in the blanks numbered[22:23.97]from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard.[22:28.86]For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you[22:32.88]are required to fill in the missing information.[22:35.81]For these blanks,[22:37.76]you can either use the exact words you have just heard[22:40.50]or write down the main points in your own words.[22:43.50]Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,[22:47.46]you should check what you have written.[22:49.72]Now listen to the passage.[22:53.05]If you are hungry, what do you do?[22:57.21]Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?[23:01.65]Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry.[23:06.01]But it never lets you know,[23:08.21]because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover,[23:12.07]favorite star and many such ridiculous things.[23:16.13]When a mind looses its freedom to grow,[23:19.38]creativity gets a full stop.[23:22.84]Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading.[23:28.60]Now why reading and not watching TV?[23:32.49]Because reading has been the most educative tool.[23:36.56]Just like that to develop other aspects of our life,[23:40.60]we have to take help of reading.[23:43.05]Once you read a book,[23:45.36]you just don't run your eyes through the lines,[23:48.17]but even your mind explains it to you.[23:51.06]The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. [23:56.01]Now this seed is unknowingly used by you[23:59.94]in your future to develop new ideas.[24:02.97]The same seed if used many times,[24:05.97]can help you link and relate a lot of things,[24:09.41]of which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams! [24:13.05]This is nothing but creativity.[24:16.62]More the number of books you read,[24:19.17]your mind will open up like never before.[24:22.19]Also this improves your speech skills to a large extent[24:27.42]and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.[24:31.75]Within no time you start speaking English[24:35.26]or any language fluently with your friends[24:38.14]or other people and you never seem to run out of the right words [24:42.42]at the right time.[24:43.92]Now the passage will be read again.[24:48.19]If you are hungry, what do you do?[24:53.41]Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?[24:58.06]Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry.[25:02.47]But it never lets you know,[25:04.54]because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover,[25:08.68]favorite star and many such ridiculous things.[25:12.32]When a mind looses its freedom to grow,[25:15.70]creativity gets a full stop.[25:18.64]Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading.

Even he couldn’t get it closed.Manager:You mean you slept with an open window all night?Why didn’t you call the security staff?Student:Well,I came home kind of late,and frankly,it was like way after hours.I thought about calling security.Then I just let it go.But one night of that cold is enough.Manager:Well,you should always call security.Even if they can’t fix the problem themselves,they’ll make sure the problem gets solved.Student:Okay.I’ll remember that.But actually,it’s not just the window.I think there’s something wrong with the heating thing in my room.The radiator,it must have cracked or something,because I just noticed a puddle of water in my room,and the heat barely seems to be working now.Manager:So you are telling me you have no heat and a window that doesn’t close?Student:Pretty much.Manager:Well,this won’t be a quick fix,I’m afraid.Those radiators,they are old and they are not easy to fix.And even if we repair the window today,you can’t live in a room without any heat.Student:You mean I’m gonna have to move?Manager:At least temporarily,until we can get that radiator fixed or replaced.That’s not a one-day job.You sure it’s not just condensation?Student:I don’t think so.You can kind of see where it’s seeping out and the water looks sort of rusty.Manager:Rusty?Yeah,rusty isn’t good.Tell you what,I’ll go look at it right away.Student:Great.Thanks.Manager:Why don’t you come back after lunch?By then I should know how long the repairs will take.Student:Can you give me some idea now?I’m gonna call a friend.She’s got an apartment off campus.She’ll let me stay there,but I’m sure she would like some idea of how long she’ll have to put up with me.Manager:Well,tomorrow is Friday,and if the radiator needs to be replaced,which probably does,we won’t have parts before Monday.So I’ll tell her at least four days.Student:Four days.Okay.Thanks.题目1.Why does the student go to see the man?A.To check on the status of some repairs she requestedB.To complain about the quality of some repair workC.To find out why her room has been scheduled for repair workD.To report that some additional repair work will be needed2.According to the student,why do some people have their windows open in her building?A.Their windows are broken and they cannot close them.B.They are responding to an order from the fire inspector.C.They are trying to clear the smell of fresh paint from their rooms.D.They are trying to create a comfortable temperature in their rooms.3.Why does the student mention her friend Bob?A.To emphasize that she is not the only student who is experiencing problemsB.To emphasize that the problem she is describing cannot be easily fixedC.To explain why she will not need the building manager's helpD.To explain how she learned there was a problem in her room4.What does the student imply when she talks about moving to an off-campus apartment?A.She will not be able to move for a few days.B.She cannot stay in the apartment indefinitely.C.She has not been happy with the security staff in her dormitory.D.She is not confident that the problems can be fixed in her dormitory room.5.What does the man imply when he says this:You sure it’s not just condensation?Student:I don’t think so.You can kind of see where it’s seeping out and the water looks sort of rusty.Manager:Rusty?Yeah,rusty isn’t good.A.He is not sure what is causing the problem.B.It is the student's fault that she has a problem.C.The student is probably right about the source of the problem.D.He does not understand the students description of her problem.答案D D B B C译文请听一段学生和建筑管理员之间的对话。

托福TPO36听力Conversation1文本Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and her academic advisor.Student: Hi. Professor Jones. Thanks for seeing me.Professor: No problem, Laura. How was your summer break?Student: It was great! But the fact is it's made me reconsider my academic plans.Professor: Oh, really? Nothing too dramatic, I hope.Student: No, no. At least I hope not.Professor: What do you mean exactly?Student: Well, I just spent the summer working on a Native American reservation, a Navajo reservation in Arizona. And I was fascinated, so now I want to study the Navajo language, uh, their history, religion. I want to go back next summer too. And maybe even spend a semester there, some kind of internship or independent study?Professor: Wow! Sounds like you are really enthusiastic, but you were majoring in sociology, and I seem to recall that for your senior project, you were doing something with education?Student: Right. I have done some research on the public schools in the northeastern states, how they've been affected by changes in population, uh, immigration trends, during the past fifty years. But now I really want to study the culture of the Navajo people.Professor: Well, there are a couple of options depending on your priorities. Say, how did you end up on a reservation inArizona anyway?Student: Well, a friend of mine took a job there, in a summer school program. And they had another opening. Someone cancelled at the last minute. I thought it would be just a big adventure, but it turned out to be much more than that.Professor: I see. Well, anyway...as I am saying, your options depend on what your priorities are and on exactly what you want to study.Student: Uh, like I said...Navajo culture?Professor: Well, let's see if we can be more specific. If you want to study the Navajo language, learn about their religion, their history, that's part of cultural anthropology.Student: No. I really don't want to change majors at this point.I love sociology and I really want to graduate in four years.Professor: Okay. Now I see what your priorities are. So from a sociological perspective, since you are interested in education, you can stay with that, change your research topic to the Native American experience with public education, the effect it had. And you could take sociology courses on religion or the role of minorities in society, again, focusing your research on the Navajo.Student: Um...l hadn't thought about that angle. Sounds intriguing. And all the courses I have already taken would still count toward my degree?Professor: I have to check. And remind me to plan carefully to make sure all your degree requirements are met, but I don't see any problems.Student: Great! And then I can pick up the language and culture courses as electives.托福TPO36听力Conversation1题目1.Why does the woman visit her academic advisor?A.

Conversation1
Narrator：Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the university’s career services office.
Student：Hi, do you have a minute?
Employee：Sure, how can I help you?
Student：I have a couple of questions about the career fair next week.
Employee：OK, shoot.
Student：Um ...well, are seniors the only ones who can go? I mean, you know, they are finishing school this year and getting their degrees and everything.
And, well, it seems like businesses would wanna talk to them and not first year students like me.
Employee：No, no, the career fair is opened to all our students and we
encourage anyone who’s interested to go check it out.
Student：Well, that’s good to know.
Employee：You’ve seen the flyers and posters around campus, I assume.
Student：Sure, can’t miss them. I mean, they all say where and when the fair is, just not who should attend.
Employee：Actually they do, but it’s in the small print. Uh, we should
probably make that part easier to reach, shouldn’t we? I’ll make a note of that
right now. So, do you have any other questions?
Student：Yes, actually I do now. Um ...since I’d only be going to familiarize myself with the process, you know, check it out, I was wondering if there is anything youwould recommend that I do to prepare.
Employee：That’s actually a very good question. Well, as you know, the career fair is generally an opportunity for local businesses to recruit new employees, and for soon-to-be graduates to have interviews with several companies they
might be interested in working for. Now, in your case, even though you wouldn’t
be looking for employment right now, it still wouldn’t hurt for you to prepare much like you would if you were looking for a job.
Student：You mean, like get my resume together and wear a suit?
Employee：That’s a given. I was thinking more along the lines of doing some research. The flyers and posters list all the businesses that are sending representatives to the career fair. Um ...what’s your major or do you to have one yet?
Student：Well, I haven’t declared a major yet, but I’m strongly considering accounting. See, that’s part of the reason I wanna go to the fair, to help me decide if that’s what I really want to study.
Employee：That’s very wise. Well, I suggest that you get on the computer and learn more about the accounting companies in particular that would be attending.
You can learn a lot about companies from their internet websites. Then prepare
a
list of questions.
Student：Questions, hmm… so, in a way, I’ll be interviewing them?
Employee：That’s one way of looking at it. Think about it for a second. What do you want to know about working for an accounting firm?
Student：Well, there is the job itself, and salary of course, and working
conditions, I mean, would I have an office, or would I work in a big room with a
zillion other employees, and…and maybe about opportunities for advancement.
Employee：See? Those’re all important things to know. After you do some research, you’ll be able to tailor your questions to the particular company you are talking to.
Student：Wow, I’m glad I came by here. So, it looks like I’ve got some work to
do.
Employee：And if you plan on attending future career fairs, I recommend you sign up for one of our interview workshops.
Student：I’ll do that.。
