Mr. Parker, I understand your troupe performs traditional music and dance from many different Native American cultures. Can you give us an idea of some of the dances you'll be doing in your performance tonight?l Certainly. We'll be doing won-us-award dance. Originally it was a story telling device to recount battles. Another is the grass dance, performed by the plains Indians, where they actually flatten tallfield grass to prepare it for a ceremony.l Since your dancers are from many different tribes, how can you be sure the dances are done correctly?l Everything we do has been approved by the elders of our tribes.That's partly because we don't necessarily know each other's stylesor dances. But it's also because it's hard to get complete agreement even within the same tribe about exactly how the dance should be done. l Anyone who attends one of your performances will notice that your company goes to a lot of trouble to provide detailed explanations of the origin of the dances, the music, the costumes and so forth. Could you explain to our listeners why you do these?l Good question. There are always concerns that traditional dances performed in a theater are nothing more than a spectacle. Our explanations show that in our cultures, dance is ritual rather than entertainment. We also want to make it clear to our audience that we are not performing any dances used for secret ceremonies.Q31. What is the main topic of the conversation?Q32. What is the purpose of the interview?Q33. Why are the dances approved by the elders of the tribes?Q34-37 A phone conversation between two friends who are discussing a problem.l Hello.l Hello, Sam. This is Paula Handson. Sorry to bother you. But I'm having a small problem I thought you might be able to help me with.l Sure, Paula. What's up?l Well, you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment inthe fall, over on the west side of town? Anyway we've been happy withit until the past couple of months.l Yeah. What happened?l Well, the dishwasher broke down. So we report it to Ms Connors, the owner, she said she'd take care of it. But a month went by and nothing happened.l Did you get back in touch with her?l I got a repairperson to give me an estimate, then I sent it to her. When I didn't hear from her, I had the repair done. And I deducted the cost from the rent check.l So what's the problem?l She called here mad as a hornet. She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money. Now she's threatening to evict us for not paying the full rent.l Hold上一页[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] 下一页上一页[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] 下一页TOEFL学习资料听力07on, Paula. It does sound pretty serious. But I'm sure you can all sit down and work this out.l Well, you are over at the law school. So I wondered if you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk to Ms. Connors.We're supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight.l Sure. I haven't studied a lot about contracts yet. But I'd be glad to help you straighten things out. Why don't I stop by at about 7:30?l Thanks, Sam. You're a lifesaver.Q34 Why is Paula unhappy?Q35. Why is Ms. Connors angry?Q36. What are Paula and her roommate planning to do?Q37. Why does Paula think Sam can help her?PART C TALKSQ38-42 Part of a lecture in speech class.Today we are going to practice evaluating the main tool used when addressing groups ---the voice. There are three main elements that combine to create either a positive or negative experience for listeners. They can result in a voice that is pleasing to listen to and can be used effectively, or they can create a voice that doesn't hold the attention, or even worse causes an adverse reaction. The three elements are volume, pitch and pace. When evaluating volume, keep in mind that a good speaker will adjust to the size of both the room and the audience. Of course, with an amplifying device like a microphone, the speaker can use a natural tone. But speaker should not be dependent on microphones. A good speaker can speak loudly without shouting. The second element---pitch is related to the highness and lowness of the sounds. High pitches are for most people more difficult to listen to so in general speaker should use the lower registers of the voice. During a presentation, it's important to vary pitch to some extent in order to maintain interest. The third element, pace, that is how fast or slow words and sounds are articulated should also be varied. A slower pace can be used to emphasize important points. Note that the time spent not speaking can be meaningful too. Pauses ought to be used to signal transitions or create anticipation. Because a pause gives the listener time to think about what was just said or even to predict what might come next, it can be very affective when moving from one topic to another. What I like you to do now is watch and listen to a video tape and use the forms I gave you to rate the speaking voices you hear. Then tonight I want you to go home and read a passage into a tape-recorder and evaluate your own voice.Q38. What is the main point the professor makes?Q39. According to the professor, what can a speaker do to keep an audience's attention?Q40. What recommendation does the professor make about volume?Q41. According to the professor, how can a speaker indicate that the topic is about to change?Q42. What are the students going to use a tape recorder for?Q43-46 Part of a lecture at a museum.Let's perceive to the main exhibit hall and look at some of the actual vehicles that played a prominent role in speeding up mail delivery. Consider how long it used to take to send a letter across a relatively short distance. Back in the 1600s it took two weeks on horseback to get a letter from Boston to New York, a distance of about 260 miles. Crossing a river was also a challenge. Ferry servicewas so irregular that a carrier would sometimes wait hours just to catch a ferry. For journeys inland there was always a stagecoach but the ride was by no means comfortable because it had to be shared with other passengers. The post office was pretty ingenious about some words. In the 19th century, in the southwestern desert, for an instance, camels were brought in to help to get the mail through. In Alaska, reindeer were used. This practice was discontinued because of the disagreeable temper of these animals. We'll stop here a minute so that you can enter this replica of a railway mail car. It was during the age of the iron horse that delivery really started to pick up. In fact the United States transported most bulk of mail by train for nearly 100 years. The first airmail service didn't start until 1918. Please take a few moments to look around. I hope you'll enjoy your tour. And as you continue on your own, may I suggest you visit our impressive philatelic collection? Not only can you look at some of the more unusual stamps issued but there's an interesting exhibit on how stamps are made.Q43. What is the talk mainly about?Q44. According to the speaker, why was it a problem for mail carriers to cross rivers in 1600s?Q45. What does the expression the "age of the iron horse" refer to? Q46. What can be found in the museum's philatelic collection?Q47-50 The beginning of a talk on astronomy.Most people think of astronomers as people who spend their time in cold observatories peering through telescopes every night. In fact a typical astronomer spends most of his/her time analyzing data and may only be at the telescope a few weeks of the上一页[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] 下一页上一页[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] 下一页TOEFL学习资料听力07year. Some astronomers work on purely theoretical problems and never use a telescope at all. You might not know how rarely images are view directly through telescopes. The most common way to observe the skies is to photograph them. The process is very simple. First a photographic plate is coated with a light-sensitive material. The plate is positioned so that the image received by the telescope is recorded on it. Then the image can be developed, enlarged and published so that many people can study it. Because most astronomical objects are very remote the light we receive from them is rather feeble. But by using a telescope as a camera, long time exposures can be made. In this way objects can be photographed that are a hundred times too faint to be seen by just looking through a telescope.Q47. According to the speaker, what do people often think about astronomers?Q48. What is one advantage of photographing the skies?Q49. Why do astronomers often use photographic plate?Q50. What is one reason astronomers make long time exposures?Key: BCB ADCDB ABCDA DBBDD BBCBA ADBCD BABCD ADBDA CACDBPart 21.
