About all these,you don't usually hear too much about.Student:why not?Professor:Oh,it's a funny thing about academia.It thinks scholars would do research about every topic imaginable.But actually,some authors,some genres aren't respective very much.So not very much is written them...gothic literature,detective novels.Student:But that's what the conference was about？Professor:Yeah,pretty much.It was kind of subversive,I guess.But there's a whole wealth of knowledge out there just waiting to be explored.I find that really exciting.Student:Sure.Professor:Yeah.Anyway,you wanted to ask me about the final paper?Student:Yeah，which I see now ties into the theme of that conference,since we're supposed to write about a book from one of those lesser genres.I was wondering what about science fiction?Professor:Sure.Though it's a genre that's actually getting more and more respect within academia.There was even a talk at the conference about Jack Vance.Student:He wrote planet of adventure,right?Professor:Yeah.He's a well-researched respected science fiction writer.If you're interested in science fiction,you could look them up.That leads you to lots of other authors and lots of possibilities for your paper.Student:Great.I'm relieved you think that,that's a good genre to study.I'll find a book that interests me and do the paper on that.It seems like most people assume that science fiction is kind of like,I don't know,junk literature.Professor:Yes,a lot of people do.Student:Yeah,but I've read somethings and I think that some of it is really well written and it takes so much imagination to write SCI-Fi.Professor:Well,careful,though,there is a difference between science fiction and Scifi.Student:What do you mean?Professor:SCI fi,that's what you tend to see in films.It has all the spaceships and robots,and it focuses on exotic technology you know factor like special effects，at the expense of a well written story.I think a lot of people don't realize this and tend not to make a distinction.Student:Okay.Professor:But true science fiction is much more intellectual than that. 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。

Lyotard,meant narrative as in a way of understanding the world.Female Student:Um.I uh.Male Professor:How can I explain this uh,grand narrative...It's...It's like an idea that that helps people make sense of history.Like when you picture the early middle ages in Europe,but what do you think?Female Student:Okay,like,um,there weren't a lot of cultural achievements then, lots of wars,but not a lot of important art or books or anything,like it was the Dark Ages.Male Professor:All right that that's a simple explanation of a time in history,right?

下面就让小编来为大家介绍一下托福听力TPO1原文中Conversation 2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 2NarratorListen to part of a conversation between a student and his professor.ProfessorHi Mathew, I’m glad you could come in today. You’ve been observing Mr. Grable’s third-grade class for your approaches to education paper, right?StudentUm, yes. I go over to Johnson Elementary School, you know, to watch Mr. Grable teach the children in class. It’s been amazing, I mean, I’m just learning so much from just watching him. I’m so glad the classroom observations are a requirement for the education program. I mean it’s like the best thing ever to prepare you to be a good teacher.ProfessorWell, I’m glad to see you feel that way, Mathew. You know, that’s the goal. So, I’ve been reading over your observation notes and I’m quite interested in what’s going on, in particular with the astronomy unit he’s been teaching.StudentThe astronomy unit?ProfessorIt seems that Mr. Grable has mastered the interdisciplinary approach to teaching that we’ve been talking about in class.StudentOh! OK, yeah, so like when he was teaching them astronomy, he didn't just teach them the names of the planets, he used it as a way to teach mythology.ProfessorReally! So, how did he do that?StudentWell, some of the students could already name the planets, but they didn’t know that the names had any meaning — the stories behind them.ProfessorSo, he…StudentHe introduced Greek and Roman mythology as a way of explaining. Like, you know, how like Jupiter’s the biggest planet, right, and how Jupiter was the name of the king of the gods in Roman mythology, right? So since Jupiter, the planet, is the largest planet in our solar system, it’s like the king of the planets, like Jupiter was the king of all the gods.ProfessorOh, Mathew, that’s a great example.StudentYeah! And each student chose a planet and then did research on it to write a report and make a presentation. They went to the library to do the research, then they made presentations about the planet they chose.ProfessorSo, in one science unit, in which the focus was astronomy, the students also learned about the literature of Greek and Roman mythology, used research skills in the library, wrote a report and practiced their oral presentation skills.StudentExactly! He used this one topic to teach third-graders all that stuff — how to use the books in the library, to write reports, and even how to speak in public. Plus they had a great time doing it.ProfessorYou know, Mathew, this is just what we’ve been talking about in our class. I’m sure everyone can learn something from your experience. You know, Mathew, I’d love for you to talk about this astronomy unit in class on Wednesday.StudentReally?! Um…‘cause I don’t really think I’ll have any time to write my paper by then.ProfessorOh, you won’t need to write anything new just yet. For Wednesday, use your class observation notes and explain the things we’ve discussed today.StudentOk, that sounds all right.翻译独白：听一段学生和教授的对话。

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。

Some professors assign so much reading that…It’s like they think we have no other homework.FEMALE PROFESSOR: One of the most important things you’ll learn in college is how to manage your time. How to, you know, prioritize. When to say no to a social engagement if you have a paper due, that sort of thing.MALE STUDENT: I guess so.FEMALE PROFESSOR: So, how are you finding the material we’re covering in class? MALE STUDENT: I’ve actually come to talk to you about it. I have a six-month-old niece, so I find early childhood development really interesting. Piaget—that Swiss psychologist you told us about—his development theory is really cool.FEMALE PROFESSOR: Yes—his theory that cognitive development in children occurs in four stages that you can, ah, actually observe.MALE STUDENT: Yeah, um, so my niece, she’s in the, um, sen-sor-i-motor stage now, right at the part where she thinks things disappear when they’re out of sight. FEMALE PROFESSOR: Very good. She probably won’t understand that objects continue to exist even when they’re out of sight until she’s a month or so older. MALE STUDENT: Yeah. Yesterday, we were knocking a little ball around, and it rolled under the couch. She immediately lost interest and reached for something else. FEMALE PROFESSOR: Because to her, the ball ceased to exist.MALE STUDENT: Yeah. I’ve actually been taking notes on her behavior because I’d like to write my term paper about her, if it’s OK with you.FEMALE PROFESSOR: Your term paper?MALE STUDENT: Yeah, I’d like to do a case study or something. Piaget watched his kids and, like, changed the whole world of psychology.FEMALE PROFESSOR: Wait a minute. Piaget didn’t just observe his own children. Hedid exhaustive research over thirty years to develop and test his theory. And anyway, your assignment isn’t to do a study; it’s to research the literature on a particular psychological topic and write about it. And I gave you a list of suggested topics to choose from.MALE STUDENT: Well, what if I researched something like: Is it possible to speed up, uh, cognitive development? Like, if I reached under the couch to get the ball while she watched me, would she learn earlier that objects don’t disappear? Or can’t six-month-old babies think that way yet?FEMALE PROFESSOR: Uh, umm…I do applaud your initiative, Eric. However, I sincerely doubt you could get any kind of valid or meaningful information from such an experiment.MALE STUDENT: But I already put so much time into watching my niece.FEMALE PROFESSOR: Remember, this is only a freshman psychology class. You aren’t trained in carrying out an original research project. I wish you had come to me earlier, but, you know, there’s still some time before the due date. I suggest that you recheck the list of topics. At least one of them relates to cognitive development. Then come see me again if you have any questions.MALE STUDENT: OK.题目1.Why does the student go to see the professor?A. To request an extension of the due date of his term paperB. To ask about a theory he did not understand in classC. To discuss an idea for his term paper projectD. To get advice on how to prioritize his work2.Why does the student mention a particular stage in early childhood development?A. To show that his niece learns faster than other children in that stageB. To show that his niece displays behavior appropriate for that stageC. To point out that he does not agree with Piaget’s theory about that stageD. To point out that he does not fully understand how that stage can be observed3.Why does the professor discuss Piaget’s research method?A. To suggest that the student use the same methodB. To provide a criticism of Piaget’s theoryC. To supplement information provided in classD. To clarify the student’s assumption about what Piaget did4.Why does the professor reject the student’s proposal to write about his niece?[Click on 2 answers.]A. The proposal does not fulfill the requirements of the assignment.B. The proposal does not take Piaget’s theory into consideration.C. The student’s niece is too young to display the behaviors identified by Piaget.D. The student does not have sufficient training to conduct a worthwhile experiment.5.Why does the professor says this:would she learn earlier that objects don’t disappear? Or can’t six-month-old babies think that way yet?FEMALE PROFESSOR: Uh, umm…I do applaud your initiative, Eric.A. She does not have time to answer the student’s questions.B. She does not want to hurt the student’s feelings.C. She is pleased that the student thought of an original research project.D. She is impressed with the student’s understanding of the class material.答案C BD AD B译文旁白：听学生和教授之间的对话。

And he compares a slice of lemon to a stained-glass window.It’s so original.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Beautiful images,aren’t they?Neruda didn’t win the Nobel Prize for literature by accident.MALE STUDENT:No,he didn't.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Now,as you know,the paper was only the first half of the assignment…and I'm concerned about your ability to complete the second part on time considering how much time the first part took you.MALE STUDENT:Actually,..I finished it just before I came here.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Excellent!MALE STUDENT:It was tricky,too—you know,having to write a poem inspired by “The Lemon”—but in a completely different style.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Right.MALE STUDENT:In order to do that,I really had to study Neruda's style and read a lot of his stuff—which was great.But...”The Lemon”is free verse.So to do the assignment,I decided to use a strict meter—iambic pentameter—to be as different as possible.FEMALE PROFESSOR:So each line of your poem has ten syllables,and every other syllable is stressed…Interesting choice.Iambic pentameter is certainly different from free verse!MALE STUDENT:It was hard for me,though,because usually when I write a poem,I choose my own topic and—I just write,I don’t worry about counting syllables or anything.So...I'm kinda hoping we won’t have more assignments like this.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Sorry to disappoint you,but these assignments are designed to get you out of your comfort zone…to get you reading and writing a wide variety of poetic styles.题目1.What do the speakers mainly discuss?A.Methods that the professor uses to challenge her studentsB.Reasons that the student turned in his paper a week lateC.The two parts of an assignment for a writing classD.Seldom discussed aspects of a famous poet's work2.What reason does the professor give for wanting to meet with the student?A.She wants to compliment him on the work he has done so far.B.She is concerned that the student is not reading a wide enough variety of poetry.C.She wants to lend him a book of poetry.D.She routinely meets individually with her students.3.What does the student like about Pablo Neruda's poems in the book Elemental Odes?A.That Neruda challenged himself by limiting the theme of all the poems to fruits and vegetablesB.That the poems have been written in many different stylesC.How Neruda focuses on color to make his poems more memorableD.How Neruda describes common objects in unexpected ways4.Why does the student mention the meter called iambic pentameter?A.To point out that his poem is longer than The LemonB.To explain how he approached the composition of his poemC.To explain what he liked most about Neruda's poem The LemonD.To distinguish Neruda's poetry from that of other poets5.What does the professor mean when she says this:Professor:Beautiful images,aren’t they?Neruda didn’t win the Nobel Prize for literature by accident.John:No,he didn’t.”A.Neruda was an extraordinary writer.B.Neruda should not have won a Nobel Prize.C.It is surprising that Neruda’s poems are not more popular.D.It is unfortunate that Neruda did not win a Nobel Prize.答案C D D B A译文旁白：请听一段学生与文学创作课教授之间的对话。

MALE PROFESSOR: Thanks for stopping by, Shelly. Professor Miller sent me an email, and I thought we’d better have a little chat.FEMALE STUDENT: Professor Miller, the art history professor?MALE PROFESSOR: Yes. I’m concerned because midterm grades are due in a couple of weeks, and he says you haven’t completed a single assignment for his course. And he didn’t want to turn in a failing grade without making sure that—FEMALE STUDENT: Wait, I’m not taking his course—I dropped it.MALE PROFESSOR: You did? Well according to the registrar’s office, you’re still enrolled in it. I pulled up your file. Your schedule shows that you are officially enrolled in Introduction to Art History with Professor Miller, Islamic art with Professor Campbell…well, here, you look at it, you’re registered for 5 courses. FEMALE STUDENT: But I’m enrolled in only 4 courses this semester. I mean, I did signup for Introduction to Art History initially, but when Professor Campbell gave me permission to enroll in his Islamic art course, I dropped Professor Miller’s course. Or at least, I intended to. I had to—they meet at the same time.MALE PROFESSOR: I see. So your admission to the Islamic art course was not contingent on your completion of the art history course?FEMALE STUDENT: Well, Professor Campbell waived the prerequisite in my case because he felt that I had enough background in art history to handle his course. But you know, now that I think about it, maybe I just added Professor Campbell’s course and forgot to drop Professor Miller’s course.MALE PROFESSOR: I guess it’s possible. Still, I’m surprised we didn’t catch it earlier in the semester. Didn’t you and I meet at the end of the second week of classes to finalize your course selections?FEMALE STUDENT: No…Uh, I mean I remember getting an e-mail about setting up a meeting with my adviser, but I thought it was only for people who had an enrollment problem or something they needed to work out. I didn’t realize it was a requirement.MALE PROFESSOR: Well, it’s strongly recommended that students meet with their advisers early in the semester…and now you can see why! But there’s no real harm done. However, don’t forget to file a formal withdrawal from introduction to art history with the registrar’s office by Friday, when the withdrawal period ends. And you might want to apologize to Professor Miller as well.FEMALE STUDENT: Oh, I’ll definitely make a point of dropping by his office to explain what happened. I was just so focused on getting admitted into the Islamic art course, and so happy when Professor Campbell said I could take it, that I kind of forgot about everything else.题目1.Why did the adviser ask the student to meet with him?A. To express concern about her academic performanceB. To discuss her course choices for the following semesterC. To find out why she dropped a courseD. To ask if she had changed her major course of study2.What did the adviser do to get more information before meeting with the student?A.

那么下面是托福小编带来的托福听力TPO15对话1原文及翻译。

托福听力TPO15对话1原文英文及翻译对话-1原文：Narrator:Listen to a conversation between a student and a librarian employee.Student：Hi, I am looking for this book---the American judicial system. And I can’t seem to find it anywhere. I need to read a chapter for my political science class.Librarian:Let me check in the computer. Um… doesn’t seem to be checked out and i t’s not on reserve. You’ve checked the shelves I assume.Student：Yeah, I even checked other shelves and tables next to where the book should be.Librarian:Well, it’s still here in the library. So people must be using it. You know this seems to be a very popular book tonight. We show six copies. None are checked out. And, yet you didn’t even find one copy on the shelves. Is it a big class?Student：Maybe about Seventy Five?Librarian:Well, you should ask your professor to put some of the copies on reserve. Yo u know about the ‘Reserve system’, right?Student：I know that you have to read reserve books in the library and that you have time limits. But I didn’t know that I could ask a professor to put a book on the reserve. I mean I thought the professors make that kind of decisions at the beginning of the semester.Librarian:Oh… they can put books on reserve at any time during the semester.Student：You know reserving book seems a bit unfair. What if someone who is not in the class wants to use the book?Librarian:That’s why I said some copies.Student：Ah, well, I’ll certainly talk to my professor about it tomorrow. But what I am gonna do tonight?Librarian:I guess you could walk around the Poli-Sci section and look at the books waiting to be re-shelved.Student：There are do seem to be more than normal.Librarian:We are a little short of staff right now. Someone quit recently, so things aren’t getting re-shelved as quickly as usual. I don’t think they’ve hired replacement yet, so, yeah, the un-shelved books can get a bit out of hand.Student：This may sound a bit weird. But I’ve been thinking about getting a job. Um… I’ve never worked at the library before, But…..Librarian:That’s not a requirement. The job might still be open. At the beginning of the semester we were swamped with applications, but I guess everyone who wants the job has one by now.Student：What can you tell me about the job?Librarian:Well, we work between six and ten hours a week, so it’s a reasonable amount. Usually we can pick the hours we want to work. But since you’d be starting so late in the semester, I’m not sure how that would work for you. And… Oh… we get paid the normal university rates for student employees.Student：So who do I talk to?Librarian:I guess you talk to Dr. Jenkins, the head librarian. She does the hiring.对话-1译文：旁白：听一个学生和一个图书馆员工之间的对话。

Johnson Hall?In the engineering department,which should be right here in front of us, according to the map.But this building is called the Morgan Hall.Professor：Well,your map reading skills are fine actually.This used to be Johnson Hall,all right.Trouble is they changed the name to Morgan Hall last spring.So they sent you a map with an old name?I am surprised.Student：Well,this was actually mailed out month and month ago.I got a second pack in the mail more recently with another one of these maps in it.I guess they must have the updated name.I left that one in my dorm room.Professor：Well,things change fast around here.This building was renamed after one of our professors.She retired a few months ago.She is very well-known in the world of physics.Too bad for Johnson,I guess.Student：Who is Johnson anyway?Professor：Oh,one of the early professors here.Unfortunately,I thinks his ideas are going out of style.Science kept marching forward.Student：I’ll say it does.That’s why I transferred to this university.I was really impressed with all the research equipment you guys have at the laboratories.You are really on the forefront.Professor：Um...so do you know what kind of engineering you want to specialize in?Student：Yeah,aerospace engineering.Professor：Well,the aerospace engineering department here is excellent!Eh...do you know that this university was the first one in the country to offer a program in aerospace engineering?Student：Yeah,I know.And a couple of students who graduated from here became astronauts and orbited the Earth.Professor：Right.The department has many prominent alumni.Well,you might end up taking some of your advanced math course with me.I get a lot of students from the engineering department because I teach the required applied mathematics courses.Student：Oh,cool.Actually,I want to get a minor in math.Professor：Excellent.Hmm...A major in aerospace engineering with a minor in math, you’ll go far with that degree.More of our students should do that.There are so many more opportunities available in the field when you have a strong math background.Student：I’m glad to hear you say that.教授：打扰一下，请问有什么能帮助你的吗?你是不是迷路了啊?学生：是啊。

比如一个网站上，一件T-shirt卖15美元，另需要5美元运费，另一个网站上同样的T-shirt卖10美元，两件包邮。

我们的选择可能倾向后者。

最后学生也准备在校内做一个问卷调查，通过email 的形式来询问同学们。

托福听力中遇到太多的生词如何处理很多考生托福听力薄弱，主要原因在于托福词汇量不够。

听力薄弱的考生是很难在托福考试中得到高分的。

可能很多考生对托福考试的整体印象是考试内容比较专业，有大量的专有名词，一拿到托福词汇书就打退堂鼓。

事实上对于听力考试来说，虽然内容的确是比较专业的，但也不意味着需要了解所有的生词才能做题，掌握一定的技巧很多时候生词并不一定是拦路虎。

首先考生对自己的词汇量应该有个基本的了解。

考生可以翻看一下TPO练习的问题部分，如果连审题都有困难，那么建议先别急着考试，好好从最基础的词汇开始背诵。

如果问题理解都非常顺利，那么可以做几道题目感受一下听的部分。

分析认为，生词在文中出现主要有这么几种解决方法：1. 专有名词在文中出现的人名、地名等专有名词通常对考试没有多大影响。

只要考生能够意识到在说的是某个人或者某个地点就行，笔记中的体现可以以大写首字母代替。

Section 1Conversation1原文NARRATOR: Listen to a conversation between a student and her environmental science professor.FEMALE STUDENT: You know, the DVD we watched yesterday on ways we can protect the environment was really eye-opening…MALE PROFESSOR: Well, I’m glad to hear that. Sometimes a DVD like this can bring to life concepts that my lectures can’t. Of course lectures are important, but other forms of presentation—like DVDs—help get across the concepts I want you to understand, too.FEMALE STUDENT: I agree. And the DVD got me thinking about the project you assigned. Now, I know we’re not supposed to work with anyone else for this assignment, but two of us think we have a really good idea.MALE PROFESSOR: OK, I’m listening.FEMALE STUDENT: Well, the student from class who I wanna work with—it’s Jessica Smith—you see, she has a part-time job at the hotel on campus…uh…where parents and people who are here for conferences stay?MALE PROFESSOR: Ah, yes. The environmental science department just hosted a conference not too long ago, and we had several attendees who stayed there. They really enjoyed staying at that hotel.FEMALE STUDENT: I’m sure. Jessica says it’s really nice, but it’s not so environmentally friendly.MALE PROFESSOR: Hmm…I see. Well, hotels may be reluctant to make changes to protect the environment if it could be perceived as negatively affecting the comfort of hotel guests.FEMALE STUDENT: Well, that has to do with our idea for the project. Uh…Jessica and I wanna do an assessment of the hotel and see what they can do to save energy, and create less pollution—without interfering with the positive experience of patrons. And I figured since she works there, it’d be easier for us to do the project together. Plus she already ran the idea by the hotel manager, and he’s on board with it. He was even telling her how he can use our work to apply for a grant from a localenvironmental foundation for money to make energy-saving upgrades and stuff! So we’d make recommendations, then he’d use our findings to make real changes. MALE PROFESSOR: That’s certainly a compelling idea—and it definitely fits within the general guidelines of the project. OK. Just give me an outline of what you plan to do, and, well, I’m a little worried.…I’ll still need you to submit the paper in the format we discussed in class, not whatever format the hotel manager might want.题目1.What is the conversation mainly about?A.

Professor: Hi Robert. So how's your paper going?Robert: Pretty well. It's a lot of work, but I'm getting into it, so I don't mind. I'll probably have some questions for you in the next week or so.Professor: Okay. Glad to hear you're progressing so well.Robert: Um…there was something you said at the end of the lecture on Tuesday, something about there're not really being any original plays.Professor: There's no such thing as an original play. Yes. That's the direct quote from Charles Mee.Robert: Mee…that's with two "e"s, right?Professor: Yep. M-E-E. You'll probably be hearing a lot about him. He's becoming a pretty famous playwright.Robert: Yeah，well, I've been thinking about his quote. I mean there must be some original plays out there.Professor: I’ll grant that he's overstating things somewhat. But the theater does have a long tradition of borrowing. Take Shakespeare,like most writers of his day, he borrowed plots from other sources unabashedly. And the ancient Greeks, all the plays they wrote were based on earlier plays, poems and myths.Robert: And borrowing applies to plays being written nowadays, too?Professor: To some extent, yes. Mee, for example, he's made a career out of remaking plays, one of which we"ll be studying soon. It's called Full Circle and Mee based it on an earlier play by a German playwright.Robert: Oh Full Circle…wasn't that based on the Caucasian Chalk Circle? Professor: That's right.Robert: I remember hearing about that play from my acting coach.Professor: Okay. Well, the Caucasian Chalk Circle was based on a play by yet another German playwright, someone who was fascinated by the ancient literatures of China, India and Persia and many of his works were adapted from those literatures, including his version of the Chalk Circle which was based on an early Chinese play. Robert: So this Full Circle play, by Charles Mee, the one we're going to study, it's like the third or fourth remake. Wow…And we complain that Hollywood keeps making the same movies over and over again.Professor: Well, part of what Mee's trying to do is drive home the point that: One,theater's always a collaborative effort.Robert: Well, yeah, the playwright, the director and the actors, people have to work together to produce a play.Professor: Yes, of course. But Mee means historically. The dramatic literature of early periods is hugely influential in shaping later dramatic works.Robert: So it's like when the playwright bases a play on a previous playwrights theme or message.It's like they're talking to each other, collaborating. Uh, just not at the same time right?Professor: Exactly. And the second point Mee's trying to make, I think, is that it's legitimate to retell an old story in a new way, in a way that's, uh…a more in line with contemporary concerns. So when playwrights reinvent or update an earlier play it shouldn't be construed as a lack of imagination or an artistic failure.题目1.Why does the man go to see the professor?A.
