After all, how many students are lucky enough to have been accepted at their first and second choices?M: Not many I know. But I'm not sure yet which one to choose.M: Well, you seem to have doubts about the state university. But its biology department has a fine reputation. What more could a biology major want?M: Yeah. And they also have internships（实习医师期）for seniors. But a friend told me that for the first two years some lectures have a hundred and fifty students.You probably wouldn't get to know any of your teachers.W: Well, you might actually, because those classes also have small discussion sections. They meet twice a week, and have no more than twenty students.M: I know. But I've heard that they are usually taught by graduate students. At White Stone College all classes are taught by professors.W: What about Stating(位置)? Do you prefer a small town like White Stone? Or a bigger place like the state capital?M: That doesn't matter to me. What I do care about is getting individual attention from the faculty than making friends.W: Look, I've known you for four years now and you seem to be a pretty outgoing person.I don't think you have any trouble making friends at the state university. Itsounds to me that you are leaning toward White Stone though?M: I am. The only problem is that the White Stone's tuition is really high and I'm not sure I can afford it.W: You could still apply for a student loan or sign up for a work-study program. M: Yeah. I think I'll look into that.31. Why did the man go to see the woman?32. What concern does the man have about the state university?33. What does the man consider to be an advantage of the White Stone College?34. What is the man likely to do in the near future?35-39M: Hi, Claire. How does it feel to be back on campus?W: Keach, hi. Well, to tell you the truth, I have mixed feelings.M: Oh, why?W: I have this great summer job that I really hated to leave. I worked at the wild life research center in Maryland.M: That makes sense for a genetic major. What did you do? Clean the cages?W: This is a wild life center, not a zoo. This place breeds endangered species and tries to prepare them for life in the wild.M: You mean the endangered species like the tiger and the panda?W: Well, endangered species, yes, but not tigers or pandas. I was working with whooping cranes（鹤）and sandtail cranes. It was really neat. I taught the baby crane how to eat and drink, and I help the vet（兽医）give them medical check-ups. M: I can see why it was hard to leave that job. But how did you teach a bird how to eat and drink?W: We covered ourselves up with cloth and used puppets made out of stuffed cranes to show the baby chicks what to do. Then the chicks copied what the puppets did. M: Cloth? Puppets? Sounds like fun.W: It was. The cloth and puppets are the key tool of this. We all covered ourselves up, the scientists, the vets, the junior staff, everybody. You see, baby cranes will become attached to their care-takers.M: So if the care-taker is a person, the crane will stay in places where people are. W: Yeah. And their chances for survival aren't very good. But by covering ourselves and by using bird puppets the chicks are more likely to seek out other birds rather than people. And their transition to the wild has a better chance of being successful.M: A chance of being successful? Hasn't this been done before?W: It's been done with sandtail cranes and everyone is optimistic about its work with whooping cranes too.M: If this works, it should increase the number of cranes in the wild.W: Yeah. It's exciting, isn't it?35. Why does the woman say she has a mixed feelings?36. What was the woman's job?37. What is the goal of the wild life center?38. Why does the man mention the tigers and pandas?39. Why do the staff members cover themselves with clothes as they work?PART C40～42In 1871 the first passenger elevators were used in office buildings and allowed architects to build higher than people could comfortably walk. Another innovation was in building technique. In 1885 the steel skeleton was introduced and allowed for the construction of tall building that could withstand high winds. We take for granted some of the other inventions that enabled people to live and work in skyscrapers. For example, few people realized that the telephone was necessary for vertical communication and that flush toilet(抽水马桶)and vacuum incinerator（燃烧器）made waste disposal possible. Now as we entered the age of super skyscraper, some with more than 200 floors, we see the need for even more technological innovations. In the area of heating and cooling systems for example, for all their benefits, these super tall building still cause problems though. For one thing they place enormous strain on parking and traffic flow in urban areas. But let's leave behind these technical concerns and move on to consider some of the design elements that have come to characterize the age of the skyscraper.40. What does the professor mainly discuss?41. What does the professor say about the invention of the elevator?42. What will the professor probably discuss next?43～46Good morning. Let me welcome all the new members of the ski patrol. My name is Brenda Peters and I've been a ski-patroller for nearly three years. After working in offices and restaurants I find this job very satisfying. After all, if you love the outdoors, it's a great job. You won't get rich, but you get in great shape and you will be able to help people everyday. And for me the best part of the job is giving ski lessons I've made a lot of friends that way. Of course your main responsibilities will involve ensuring the safety of everyone who skis here. All trails have to be checked daily to make sure they are groomed(修饰使整洁)probably. You also will have to be watching out constantly for people who aren't skiing safely, or who may think they are better skiers than they really are. And to help those who are injured, you'll have to know basic first aid. Tomorrow you will begin training in a first aid（急救）system that skiers specifically to the outdoors. We pride ourselves in our ability to get people off the mountain quickly and safely. OK, so you are free to explore the slopes(斜坡)for the test of the day. All in all, I think that being a ski patroller is great job I hope you will all feel the same way.43. What does the speaker mainly discuss?44. According to the speaker, what is one advantage of working on a ski patrol?45. What does the speaker say she likes most about giving ski lessons?46. According to the speaker, what is one of the man responsibilities of ski patroller?47～50If you flew over certain parts of Nebraska and Texas by plane, you might notice some large areas appearing as bright green circles many hundreds of feet across. This green is unusual in the high plains area where the climate is very dry. These green patches are the result of a new technique for mining the underground water. In this technique, miners bore（钻）deep holes in the ground until they reach a special geological formation called ocheropher. The water which has collected in this ocherophers for hundreds of years is called fossil water or ground water. It pumped up through the borehole and sprayed over the land to irrigate crops. Raising crops such as cotton and wheat, water in this way creates the fertile green areas that contrast vividly with the natural brown of the plains. Crop yields have increase dramatically. However they created a serious environmental problem. The problem is that the water is being removed from many ocherophers faster than it can be replenished naturally. Ground water levels have dropped rapidly and it's becoming more difficult and expensive to get this water. In some parts of Texas, water levels in some of the ocherophers have declined by more 400 feet in 25 years. This process of using water faster than it can be replaced is wide-spread and serious.47. What does the speaker mainly discuss?48. What benefits have resulted from the technique?49. What is happening to ground water?50. What does the speaker imply about ground water?。

生命是永恒不断的创造，因为在它内部蕴含着过剩的精力，它不断流溢，越出时间和空间的界限，它不停地追求，以形形色色的自我表现的形式表现出来。
－－泰戈尔旧托福听力Part C2004年8月演讲1：I’d like to share with you today my experience with a new approach to building a house. It’s called Envelop Building. Essenti ally, what it means is that as you are building a house, you try to leave the landscape feature on the land, especially the vegetation in the original condition. So what you are not doing is the usual practice of land scraping. By which I mean literally scraping or cleaning the land of any and all the original plants. Why is the approach called Envelop Building? Because instead of clearing everything away, you let your original landscape elements envelop or surround your house. Let the vegetation physical features such as hills and slopes or interesting rock formations, constituted a significant part of the character of the building sight. The design of the house should take these features of the property into account. Actually integrating your original wild landscape with a house is not that new. The famous American architect Wright was doing it about 65 years ago. So we are in good company. Envelop Building is not as easy as it sounds though. It’s not just that you build your house and leave the land alone. By building, you are already damaging the original landscape. But as architects, we should try to work with environment, not against it. A creative architect can find ways to incorporate natural landscape into the overall design. For example, why used the massive boulders on the side of one of the most famous houses as part of the house foundation?演讲2：Today we are going to talk about copyrighting works of art. A copyright is a proof of authorship. It protects artists against someone else using their work without their permission. It’s important to remember that United States Copyright Law protects artistic expressions such as paintings, but does not protect any ideas, concept, procedure or technique. In all the United States Copyright Law, Artists needed to take several steps to obtain copyright protection. The law as changed in 1978 and again 1989. For artists the current law means everything they create is automatically and immediately copyrighted. They don’t have to file any documents and under the protection of the Copyright Law, any recreation of their original work such as prints are also covered by the artists copyright. Further more, any changes artists made to their original works are covered. The Law also makes it clear that when someone buys the work of art, they are not allowed to destroy or change that work of art. Artists keep the copyright even after selling the work of art. The purchaser may buy the physical work, but the right to make prints or copies is still the artists’ and buyers does not automatically have any right to make and sell prints or copies of work. Although works are automatically copyrighted, artists are encouraged to register their work with United States Copyright Office. Registering art provides additional legal protection and also gives the people around the world the ability to approach the honors about licensing and purchasing right.演讲3：Today let’s talk about synesthesia, that’s a brain condition in which a person’s sense are combined in a unusual ways. For example, a person with synesthesia may taste sounds. To them, a musical note may taste like a pickle. Many people who have synesthesia experience intense colors when they hear specific words. For example, they might see a flash of pink every time they hear the word “jump”. For a long time, many scientists were unconvinced that synesthesia really exists. So in the 1990s an experime nt was done to find our for sure. Two groups were studied. One was a group of people who claim to experience colors when they heard certain words. The other was a controlled group, people who experience nothing out of the ordinary when hearing words. Each group was asked to describe the colors they thought of when they heard a list of spoken words. When the test was repeated, the difference between the two groups was startling. After just a week, the controlled group gave the same answers only a third of the time. But even a year and a half later, the synesthetic group gave the same answers 92% of the time. Clearly, this is not just a matter of memory. Scientists are still not sure just why synesthesia happens. But certain drugs are reportedly able to produce it artificially. So we all probably have brains with connections that could synesthesia. It’s just the connections normally we used in that way.2004年5月演讲1：Today let’s consider the neutrino and the resolves of some experiments down in the 1995 at the Los Alamos national laboratory in New Mexico, which bear on the neutrino. These resolves suggest that this little particle does indeed have mass that tiny bet to be sure but measurable by the very sensitive instruments of that lab. The neutrino’s origin ha s always been an interesting case, though a case not unusual in the history of physics. As you know, ordinarily scientific observation precedes scientific theory. Ocean tides were observed, ocean tides were explained; gravity is observed, gravity is explai ned. However, let’s consider what happened in the neutrino’s case. When the neutrino was proposed over sixty years ago, it was a convenient fiction. Scientists had not observe d such a particle nor even as a fact. So what let them to conceive of this imaginary object? They had been writing equations about neutron decay in which the energy amounts on each side of their equations were unequal. In order to keep this energy amounts the same on both sides of the equations, they added little particle named neutrino and gave it precisely enough energy to balance the equations and the loan be hold years later. About thirty-five years ago real neutrinos were found. Now we have the more recent developments. Originally, the neutrino was thought not to have any mass at all. But Los Alamos experiments seem to disprove this premise. They indicated that neutrinos do have mass—about one-millionth the mass of electron.演讲2：The forests of New England constituted both are resource and barrier for the first British settlers who reach these shores. In addition to the maples, firs, oaks and birches were white pines whose scientific name is Pinus strobus. These white pines were straight and tall, perfect for use as masts on the sailing ships of the time. Britain had used up its supply of mast trees, so is eager for this product of its young colony. By the first load of masts reached Britain in 1634 and Britain was marveled the size of the trees, which had diameters of up to 4 feet at the wide end. For every yard of mast height, the body end needed to be one inch in diameter. In1705, Britain passed a law stating that all white pines over 24 inches at the body end were reserved f or the use of king’s navy. Such trees were marked by blazing the king’s arrow symbol on the tree with three cuts of the hatchet. These trees were selected by the surveyor general, whose work often met with resistances of colonists.演讲3：Now the Australia j umping spider as you can image got its name for its ability to leap. But it can swim too. What’s most interesting though is its ability to use try and error tactics when solving problems. Now the jumping spider attacks and eats other spide rs. It’ll sit at the edge of another spider's web and attract the spider by tapping out different signals to mimic the struggles of a trapped insect and it’ll keep changing the signals till successfully lured its prey out. Well, to see if the jumping spider could app ly the same problem solving technique, try and error to unfamiliar situations, scientists conducted an experiment. They field a trap full of water and then put some sand in the middle, like an island. In between the island and the edge of the trap, they put a rock. When they put the spider on the island, some tried jumping to the rock, and some tried swimming. All the spiders that successfully reached the rock either by jumping or by swimming use the same method to make it from the rock to the edge of the tree. If the spider failed to reach the rock, it was placed back on the island, but the next time they try to leave, spiders did opposite of whatever didn’t work the first time, leaping if it had swum, or swimming if it had leaped. So we see the spiders using the same try and error in crossing the water as they used in hunting.04年1月：演讲1：I’m going to pass this piece of amber around so you can see this spider trapped inside it. It’s a good example of amber-inclusion, one of the inclusions that scientists are interested in these days. This particular piece is estimated to be about 20 million years old. Please be extremely careful not to drop it. Amber shatters as easily as glass. One thing I really like about amber is its beautiful golden color. Now, how does the spider get in there? Amber is really fossilized tree resin. Lots of chunks of amber contain insects like this one or animal parts like feathers or even plants. Here is how it happens. The resin oozes out of the tree and the spider or leaf gets incased in it. Over millions and millions of years, the resin hardens and fossilizes into the semiprecious stone you see here.Ambers can be found in many different places around the world. But the oldest deposits are right here in the United States, in Appalachian. It’s found in several other countries, too, though right now scientis ts are most interested in amber coming from the Domincian Republic. Because it has a great any inclusions, something like one insect inclusion for every one hundred pieces. One possible explanation for this it that the climate is tropical and a greater variety of number of insects thrive in tropics than in otherplaces. What’s really interesting is the scientists are now able to recover DNA from these fossils and study the genetic mate rial for important clues to revolution.演讲2：Now we’ve been talking about the revolutionary period in the United States history when the colonies wanted to separate from England. I’d like to mention one point about the very famous episode from that period, a point I think is pretty relevant eve n today. I’m sure you remember, from when you are children, the story of Paul Revere’s famous horseback ride to the Massachusetts countryside. In that version, he single-headily alerted the people that “the British were coming”. We have this image of us solitary rider galloping along in the dark from one farm house to another. And of course the story emphasized the courage of one man, made him a hero in our history books, right? But, that rather romantic version of the story is not what actually happened that night. In fact, that version misses the most important point entirely. Paul Revere was only one of the many riders helping deliver the message that night. Just one part of a pre-arrange plan, that was thought out well in advance in preparation for just such an emergency. I don’t mean to diminish Revere’s role though. He was actually an important organizer and promoter of this group effort for freedom. His mid-night riders didn’t just go knocking on farm house doors. They also awaken the institutions of New England. They went from town to town and engage the town leaders, the military commanders and volunteer groups, even church leaders, people who would then continue to spread the word. My point is that Paul Revere and his political party understood, probably more clearly than later generations ever have, that political institutions are there as a kind of medium for the will of people and also to both build on and support individual action. They knew the success requires careful planning and organization. The way they went about the work that night made a big difference in the history of this country.演讲3：Let me warn you against a mistake that historians of science often make. They sometimes assume that people in the past use the same concepts as we do. There is a wonderful example that made news in the history of mathematics some while ago. It concerns an ancient Mesopotamian tablet that has some calculations on it using square numbers. The calculations look an awful lot like the calculations of the length of the sides of triangle. So that’s what many historians assume they were. But using square numbe rs to do this is a very sophisticated technique. If the Mesopotamians knew how to do it, as the historians started thinking that they did. Well, then their math was incredibly advanced. Well, it turns out the idea of Mesopotamians use square numbers to calculate the length of triangle’s sides is probably wrong. Why? Because we discovered that Mesopotamians didn’t know how to measure angles, which is a crucial element in the whole process of triangle calculations. Apparently the Mesopotamians had a number of other uses for square numbers. These other uses were important but they were not used with triangles. And so these tablets in all likelihood were practice sheets, if you like, for doing simpler math exercises with square numbers. In all likelihood, it was the ancient Greeks who first calculate the length of triangle’s sides using square numbers. And this was hundreds of years after the Mesopotamians.03年10月：演讲1：Today, we are going to talk about a special way some plants respond to being invaded by pests. These plants react by emitting a chemical signal, which acts like a call for help. Let’s take corn plants for example. Sometimes, caterpillars chew on the cor n leaves. When the caterpillar saliva mixes with the chew portion of a leaf, the plant releases a chemical scream that attracts wasps. The wasps respond to the signal by flying to the chewed-on leaf, and laying their eggs in the caterpillars. The caterpillars die in the next few days as the wasp offspring nourish themselves by feeding off them. Thus the corn plant prevents all its leaves from being eaten by the caterpillars. This chemical scream is specific. It’s only released after the plant has detected the caterpillar saliva. A plant that is cut by any other means does not give off the same signal, nor doesn’t undamaged plant. This also explains how a wasp can find a caterpillar in a huge field of corn. Soybeans, cotton and probably many other plants use a similar type of defense against pests. By enhancing this natural response in plants, researchers might reduce, or some day even eliminate, the need for chemical pesticide, which can cause ecological damage. For example, scientists might breed plants for this screaming trait, or they might transplant specific genes to increase the release of chemical signals.演讲2：Today, we are going to continue our discussion of Buddhism. In our last class, we talked about how it’s practiced. Today, I’d like to talk a little about early Buddhism, which we really don’t know much about. Well, what is known is that the teachings of Buddhismwere memorized, and passed on orally for centuries by its followers. Recently, there was an important discovery of Buddhist manuscripts that are believed to be the oldest ever found. They may be 2,100 years old. And there maybe as many as 20 of them. It’s expected that we will be able to learn from them about the spread of Buddhism from present day India into China, and throughout Asia. But the scrolls themselves have presented challenge too. They were very fragile, found rolled up in clay pots. Before they even could be looked at, they need to be dampened over night in fact, and then carefully flattened with tweezers. And it’s not that anybody could just sit down and read them. The scrolls were written in a language that is really rare today. On ly a few people are proficient at it. Considering these challenges, it’s easy to understand why it’s taken scholars so long to examine the scrolls.演讲3：About 200 years ago, the United States economy was growing quickly, mainly because a booming trade in grain and cotton. This trade in grain and cotton went on near areas near or at the coast, or near navigable rivers. It took place there because it was so expensive to transport goods over the roads that existed. They were muddy, narrow, and hard to travel on. At that time, don’t forget there was only one continuous road that existed in the US, and it was made up of north to south local country roads, linked together to make one long road. Within a short time, the first east-to-west roads were built. They were called turnpikes. Private companies built these roads, and collected fees from all vehicles that traveled on them. Eventually, a network of dirt, gravel or plank roadways connected some major cities and towns. But even these turnpike roads were still very slow, and traveling on them was too costly for farmers. They would’ve spent more money to move their crops than they got by selling them. So, we s ee that even with some major improvement in roadways, farmers still had to rely on rivers to move their crops to market.03年8月：演讲1：In my opinion, Frank Lloyd Wright was the greatest American architect of the 20th century. People who know his designs well point out that his roofs often leaked, his ceilings were too low, and his houses were uncomfortable. In my presentation, h owever, I’ll be focusing on the virtues of his designs. For what you see, it would be hard todispute that he manipulated space extremely well, some of his smallest houses look gigantic,and he had great respect for the materials he used and also a tremendous skill for placing his buildings in harmony with nature.Wright’scare er began when he was young. He was just a teenager when he helped build the chapel on his family’s p roperty in Wisconsin. And from there, he got hired as a draftsman by the project architect. So it was a very long career. He did at 91, while his final major work, the Guggenheim Museum, was still being built.Today, we’ll cover what we consider to be the two great periods of his career, Wright’s works b efore the Tokyo Imperial Hotel completed in 1922 and everything after Falling Water, a private residence in western Pennsylvania completed in 1936. The first period started around 1896, when he made a dramatic shift from the classical tradition to the arts and crafts movement. Here, the emphasis was on order, consistency and unity of design. Things were kept simple with minimal decoration. Natural forms were very important. Let’s take a look at a slide of his own dining room done in this style.演讲2：We are going to talk today about the moon, our moon. First of all, the earth’s moon is unusual. Why? It’s larger than other moons or satellites in the solar system, in relation to its planet that is. Its diameter is more than a quarter that of the earth. And if you compare the earth and the moon in terms of substance, you find the moon isn’t much like the earth. For example, t he earth has a significant iron core, but the moon contains very little heavy materials like iron. That’s why its density is much lower than that of the earth. Now, one time it was believed that the moon and the earth were formed at the same time from the same material. But then wouldn’t the moon h ave as much iron as the earth? Another theory is that the moon was formed elsewhere in the solar system, and then it was captured, sort of the speak, by earth. But study shows that the young earth would not have had enough gravitational force to stop a body the size of a moon from traveling through the solar system and pull it into orbit. The newest theory is called the big splash theory. Here, the new young earth was hit by another big planet. Most of the colliding planet entered the earth and became part of it. But the huge impact created a vapor that shed out into space and eventually condensed as the moon. Because this material came mostly from the earth surface crust, not the iron core, the moon contains almost no iron. Well, as plausible as it sounds, it’s only a theory, and we can’t be sure that this is what really happened, that this is how the moon originated. Plenty of research remains to be done.演讲3：In order to diagnose and treat abnormal behavior, we have to start with clear definitions of what’s meant by abnormal and nor mal. Criteria must be worked out for distinguishing one from the other in actual clinical cases. The word abnormal implies a deviation from some clearly defined norm. In the case of physical illness, the boundary lines between normality and pathology are often clearly delineated by medical science, making it easier to diagnose. On the psychological level, however, we have no ideal model to use as a base of comparison, nothing to help us distinguish mental health from mental disorder. The problem of defining abnormal behavior via establishing just what is meant by normal behavior has proved extremely difficult. However, as chapter 5 outlines, several criteria have been proposed. One norm described in detail in your text is personal adjustment. An individual who was able to deal with problems effectively without serious anxiety or unhappiness or more serious symptoms is said to be well adjusted. Personal adjustment as a norm has several serious limitations though. For example, it makes no reference to the individual’s role in the group. Ho w’re we going to classify, for example, the a typical politician or businessperson who engages in unethical practices. Either might be successful, happy, and well-adjusted individual. Obviously, the welfare of the group, as well as that of the individual, must be considered, which brings me to the next approach.03年1月：演讲1：Today, I’d like to talk about some of the changes land can undergo, specifically desertification, that’s the process through which land becomes part of a desert. Now a desert is defined as a place that receives a certain maximum amount of rainfall. But you may not know that it usually takes more than just a lack of water to turn productive land into a desert. There are several specific human activities that when combined with a lack of rainfall encourage desertification. For example, over cultivation, growing more crops than soil can support. The soil loses nutrients, so it needs either to be fertilized or to be left unused for at least a season. But if neither of these things happen if the se nutrients in the soil don’t get replaced, the damaged soil stops producing. Another cause of desertification is overgrazing. That’s when the grasses and trees and shrubs of an area are expected to feed more animals than they reasonably can. Too many animals eating in the same area will kill the vegetation. And because it’s the roots of this vegetation that hold much of the soil together, when too much of the vegetation dies, the soil erodes. But maybe the most ironic example of human behavior that can lead to desertification is irrigation. It may seem to run counter to common senseto say that introducing water into an area can cause it to become more like a desert. But there are plenty of bad irrigation practices that do just that. Bringing in too much salty water and then not providing adequate drainage for it will fill the soil with salt, and turn the area into a desert.演讲2：I’ve mentioned how DNA have solved many mysteries in biology. And today I want to talk about how it might relate to hypothesis about the travels of the green turtle. Every winter some green turtles make a 2000 km journey from Brazil to Ascension Island in the middle of Atlantic, where they mate and lay eggs. But the question is why do they travel so far to lay their eggs? One researcher hypothesized that there are two parts to the explanation. One is natal homing, the instinct that drives green turtles to always return to the beach where they were hatched. The second part has to do with continental drift, the theory that the positions of earth continents have changed considerably overtime. Brazil and Ascension Island were once much closer together, and continental drift drove them apart. But the turtles kept on going back to the island where they hatched. However another scientist questioned this explanation on the grounds that it would be very unlikely that conditions would allow generations of turtles over hundreds of millions of years to keep going back to the same nesting ground every single year. So, what is the connection to DNA? Well, there are groups of green turtles that nest in locations other than the Ascension Island. If green turtles always return to the place where they were hatched, then the turtles that have been going to the Ascension Island to nest would’ve been genetically isolated long enough to have DNA that was very different from the green turtles that nest elsewhere. But when scientists examined DNA from these turtles, their DNA wasn’t that different from the DNA of the turtles that go to Ascension Island. Do you have a shock? Well, we still don’t know the answer to the question about why a certain group of turtles go to Ascension Island, but this study was a nice example of the usefulness of DNA analysis to biology.演讲3：As I am sure you are aware, history is full of people who were so admired that over the centuries they become almost mythical figures. George Washington is a good example. Everyone knows this story about his chopping down the cherry tree when he wasyoung and bravely confessing to his mischief later. People greatly admired Washington’s integrity. And so, out of that, this story evolved, even though no one knows for sure whether the incident ever occurred. Then there is the American Indian, Poke Hunters, beloved by history for making peace between the English Colonies and the American Indians. The history of her life has also become somewhat mythical. At the historical society exhibit next week, we’ll see many artistic works depicting the major events of her life. And while we are there, keeping in mind that much of what you’ll see in the paintings reflects how much she was admired, but not necessarily the fact of her life. For instance, one painting shows her saving the life of Jon Smith, an English Colonist, who had been captured by her tribe. Smith, so the story goes, was about to be executed when twelve-years-old Poke Hunters lay her head on top of his. Tells you a lot about her courage. But Jon Smith himself related this story only years after Poke Hunters had become famous, which suggests that he may have embellish the truth a little bit, as many of the works that we’ll b e seeing in next week may have done. Something else to remember: paintings portrait her physical appearance in many different ways, but always flattering ways. Yet only one picture of her was ever painted while she was living.02年10月：演讲1：A lot of people think that cultural anthropology is just about studying the special and strange aspects of a society, but anthropologists are also interested in the aspects of life that seems so ordinary that the people in the society think they’re not significant. Let me give you an example, I see lots of T-shirts here in class today, but you probably don’t think of them as an important part of your culture, but anthropologists could learn a lot about the culture of the United States just by studying the T shirt. For one thing, T shirts are a mark of how casual clothing has become in America. No one’s quite sure where they came f rom, but the T shirt first became popular in this country as an under shirt for sailors in the 1940s. Then in the 1950s, it became a sign of rebellion for teenagers to wear this white under shirt by itself, not under anything. By the 1960s and 70s, T shirts have become accepted as part of the uniform of use. You could even say that they came to symbolize that generation’s attitude towards informality and all things, including dress. Another aspect that anthropologists would find interesting is that T shirts are used to express personal opinions. Look around this room, you know who likes watch TV show, who went where on vacation, who belongs to what organizations on campus. All of these aspects of our culture are printed on your T shirts. OK, I want to stop for a minute and ask you to try to write down five different conclusions you could reach about American culture from just the T shirts in this classroom.演讲2：Finally there is one more element to business success that we haven’t talked about. I know what you think I’m going to say, l uck and you’re partially right. Good entrepreneurs know how to make their own luck and that means being in the right place at the right time with the right product. Let me give you a little example, early in this century, if you were a traveler by train or subway and you happened to get a little thirsty in the station, where would you go for some water? There were no big soda machines at every corner or even drinking fountains, yet there were thousands of thirsty travelers out there, well, what they did was drink water out of a little tin cup that was passed from one thirsty commuter to the next. That’s right, everybody drank out of the same cup, and you can bet it didn’t get washed after every user. Will, that was the right time for the right product and there was a man who had it. Hi s name was Hugh Molar and his product was the disposable paper cup. He came up with it just as the nation was becoming concerned about their health risks associated with the tin cups. Laws were passed outlying the things; reports were published showing just what sort of germs could be passed around from sharing them. Mr. Molar rode that way to become the best known producer of one of the most successful paper products of all time. He originally called his product health cups, but later changed the name, so can anyone guess what that name might be?演讲3：A number of insects rely on leaping or jumping as a way of escaping from enemies. Grosshoppers probably have the most remarkable jumping ability of all these insects. If we think of it in human terms, a grosshopper’s high jump is like a human jumping over a five story building. Imagine that a person jumping over a five story building. We are going to take a look at the structure of the grosshopper’s leg to see why it’s able to jump so well, but first I wanna talk about the sensory organ that tells grossho ppers when to jump in the first place. En, OK, a grosshopper has two sensory organs located at the end of its abdomen. Whenever these organs sense a change in air pressure which might be produced by an enemy approaching, and impulses transmitted to the legs, this。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B) C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:The process of perceiving other people is rarely translated (to ourselves or others) into cold, objective terms. “She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore acolored skirt.”More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quickly-perhaps with a two-second glance.We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed person’s behavior with the known others’behavior; observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the person’s responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person-questions, self-disclosures（自我表露）, and son on. Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we won’t ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more eas9ily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent behavior. Ironically（讽刺性地）, those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e.g., secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of a satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g., disclosures and truthful statements).21. The word “pinpoint”(Para.1, Line 3) basically means _______.A) appreciateB) obtainC) interpretD) identify22. What do we learn from the first paragraph?A) People are better described in cold, objective terms.B) The difficulty of getting to know a person is usually underestimated.C) One should not judge people by their appearances.D) One is usually subjective when assessing other people’s personality.23. It can be inferred from Berger’s suggestions that _______.A) People do not reveal their true self on every occasion.B) in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directlyC) the best way to know a person is by making comparisons.D) face-to-face interaction is the best strategy to uncover information about a person24. In developing personal relationships, secrets and deceptions, in the author’s opinion, are _________.A) personal matters that should be seriously dealt withB) barriers that should be done away with.C) as significant as disclosures and truthful statementsD) things people should guard against25. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is _______.A) to give advice on appropriate conduct for social occasionsB) to provide ways of how to obtain information about peopleC) to call the reader’s attention to the negative side of people’s charactersD) to discuss the various aspects of getting to know peoplePassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:The competition among producers of personal computers is essentially a race to get the best, most innovative products to the marketplace. Marketers in this environment frequently have to make a judgement as to their competitors’role when making marketing strategy decisions. If major competitors are changing their products, then a marketer may want to follow suit to remain competitive. Apple Computer, Inc. has introduced two new, faster personal computers, the Mackintosh II and Mackintosh SE, in anticipation of the introduction of a new PC by IBM, one of Apple’s major competitors.Apple’s new computers are much faster and more powerful than its earlier models. The improved Mackintosh is able to run programs that previously were impossible to run on an apple PC, including IBM-compatible（兼容的）programs. This compatibility feature illustrates computer manufacturers’new attitude of giving customers the features they want. Making Apple computers capable of running IBM software is Apple’s effort at making the Mackintosh compatible with IBM computers and thus more popular in the office, where Apple hopes to increase sales. Users of the new Apple can also add accessories（附件）to make their machines specialize in specific uses, such as engineering and writing.The new computers represent a big improvement over past models, but they also cost much more. Company officials do not think the higher price will slow down buyers who want to step up to a more powerful computer. Apple wants to stay in the high-price end of the personal computer market to finance research for even faster, more sophisticated computers.Even though Apple and IBM are major competitors, both companies realize that their competitor’s computers have certain features that their own models do not. The Apple line has always been popular for its sophisticated color graphics（图形）, whereas the IBM machines have always been favored in offices. In the future, there will probably be more compatibility between the two companies’products, which no doubt will require that both Apple and IBM change marketing strategies.26. According to the passage, Apple Computer, Inc, has introduced the Mackintosh II and the Mackintosh SE because _________.A) IBM is changing its computer models continuouslyB) it wants to make its machines specialize in specific usesC) it wants to stay ahead of IBM in the competitive computer marketD) it expects its major competitor IBM to follow its example27. Apple hopes to increase Mackintosh sales chiefly by _________.A) making its new models capable of running IBM softwareB) improving the color graphics of its new modelsC) copying the marketing strategies of IBMD) giving the customers what they want28. Apple sells its new computer models at a high price because _________.A) they have new features and functionsB) they are more sophisticated than other modelsC) they have new accessories attachedD) it wants to accumulate funds for future research29. It can be inferred from the passage that both Apple and IBM try to gain a competitive advantage by ________.A) copying each other’s technologyB) incorporating features that make their products distinctiveC) making their computers more expensiveD) making their computers run much faster30. The best title for the passage would be _________.A) Apple’s Efforts to Stay Ahead of IBMB) Apple’s New Computer TechnologyC) Apple’s New personal ComputersD) Apple’s Research ActivitiesPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:It is a curious paradox that we think of the physical sciences as “hard”, the social sciences as “soft”, and the biological sciences as somewhere in between. This is interpreted to mean that our knowledge of physical systems is more certain than our knowledge of biological systems, and these in turn are more certain than our knowledge of social system. In terms of our capacity to sample the relevant universes, however, and the probability that our images of these universes are at least approximately correct, one suspects that a reverse order is more reasonable. We are able to sample earth’s social systems with some degree of confidence that we have a reasonable sample of the total universe being investigated. Our knowledge of social systems, therefore, while it is in many ways extremely inaccurate, is not likely to be seriously overturned by new discoveries. Even the folk knowledge in social systems on which ordinary life is based in earning, spending, organizing, marrying, taking part in political activities, fighting and so on, is not very dissimilar from the more sophisticated images of the social system derived from the social sciences, even though it is built upon the every imperfect samples of personal experience.In contrast, our image of the astronomical universe, or even of earth’s geological history, can easily be subject to revolutionary changes as new data comes in and new theories are worked out. If we define the “security”of our image of various parts ofthe total system as the probability of their suffering significant changes, then we would reverse the order of hardness and see the social sciences as the most secure, the physical sciences as the least secure, and again the biological sciences as somewhere in between. Our image of the astronomical universe is the least secure of all simply because we observe such a fantastically small sample of it and its record-keeping is trivial as compared with the rich records of the social system, or even the limited records of biological systems. Records of the astronomical universe, despite the fact that we see distant things as they were long ago, are limited in the extreme.Even in regard to such a close neighbour as the moon, which we have actually visited, theories about its origin and history are extremely different, contradictory, and hard to choose among. Our knowledge of physical evolution is incomplete and highly insecure.31. The word “paradox”(Para.1, Line 1) means “_________”.A) implicationB) contradictionC) interpretationD) confusion32. According to the author, we should reverse our classification of the physical sciences as “hard”and the social sciences as “soft”because ________.A) a reverse ordering will help promote the development of the physical sciencesB) our knowledge of physical systems is more reliable than that of social systemsC) our understanding of the social systems is approximately correctD) we are better able to investigate social phenomena than physical phenomena33. The author believes that our know ledge of social systems is more secure than that of physical systems because ________.A) it is not based on personal experienceB) new discoveries are less likely to occur in social sciencesC) it is based on a fairly representative quantity of dataD) the records of social systems are more reliable34. The chances of the physical sciences being subject to great changes are the biggest because __________.A) contradictory theories keep emerging all the timeB) new information is constantly coming inC) the direction of their development is difficult to predictD) our knowledge of the physical world is inaccurate35. We know less about the astronomical universe than we do about any social system because __________.A) theories of its origin and history are variedB) our knowledge of it is highly insecureC) only a very small sample of it has been observedD) few scientist are involved in the study of astronomyPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:In the early days of nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor “meltdown”（堆内熔化）. Today, the chances of a meltdown that would threaten U.S. public health are very little. But to even further reduce the possibility, engineers are testing new reactors that rely not on human judgement to shut them down but on the laws of nature. Now General Electric is already building two advanced reactors in Japan. But don’t expect them ever on U.S. shores unless things change in Washington.The procedure for licensing nuclear power plants is a bad dream. Any time during, or even after, construction, an objection by any group or individual can bring everything to a halt while the matter is investigated or taken to court. Meanwhile, the builder must add nice-but-not-necessary improvements, some of which force him to knock down walls and start over. In every case where a plant has been opposed, the Nuclear Regulation Commission has ultimately granted a license to construct or operate. But the victory often costs so much that the utility ends up abandoning the plant anyway.A case in point is the Shoreham plant on New York’s Long Island. Shoreham was a virtual twin to the Millstone plant in Connecticut, both ordered in the mid-‘60s. Millstone, completed for $101 million, has been generating electricity for two decades. Shoreham, however, was singled out by anti-nuclear activists who, by sending in endless protests, drove the cost over $5 billion and delayed its use for many years. Shoreham finally won its operation license. But the plant has never produced a watt of power. Governor Mario Guomo, an opponent of a Shoreham start-up, used his power to force New York’s public-utilities commission to accept the following settlement: the power company could pass the cost of Shoreham along to its consumers only if it agreed not to operate the plant. Today, a perfectly good facility, capable of servicing hundreds of thousands of homes, sits rusting.36. What has made the procedure for licensing nuclear power plants a bad dream?A) The inefficiency of the Nuclear Regulation commission.B) The enormous cost of construction and operation.C) The length of time it takes to make investigations.D) The objection of the opponents of nuclear power.37. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that _________.A) it is not technical difficulties that prevent the building of nuclear power plants in the U.S.B) there are not enough safety measures in the U.S. for running new nuclear power plants.C) there are already more nuclear power plants than necessary in the U.S.D) the American government will not allow Japanese nuclear reactors to be installed in the U.S.38. Any objection, however trivial it may be, can _______________.A) force the power companies to cancel the project.B) delay the construction or operation of a nuclear plant.C) cause a serious debate within the Nuclear Regulation Commission.D) take the builders to court39. Governor Mario’s chief intention in proposing the settlement was to _______.A) stop the Shoreham plant from going into operationB) help the power company to solve its financial problemsC) urge the power company to further increase its power supplyD) permit the Shoreham plant to operate under certain conditions40.

As the industry developed so did the horse ridding contests that we called rodeos. Rodeos weren't always the big entertainment shows that we see nowadays. The first ones were small contests started as an informal competition among people historically referred to the cowboys. Although they didn't include both men and women. One duty of the cowboys was to guide the cattle from grass rangers into town along the railroad lines where the cows were loaded on to trains. The cowboys would gather near these cattle towns to compete for the unofficial title "best horse rider". They were demonstrated the riding skills that they had learned as a matter of survival. And the audience was composed mainly of other cowboys who watch the competitor critically since they knew what the events were all about. Rodeos contest took a different turn in the 1890's, when organizers began to hold cowboys sports during yearly agriculture affairs. What was different with the audience? It consist mostly people who were unfamiliar with the life on the range. They were amazed by the skills of riders and intelligence of horses. The rodeos at agricultural affairs became so popular that ranchers and business people began to organize rodeos as independent events separate from fairs. The organizers built large arenas(竞技场, and earn money by requiring spectators to pay for admission. More and more notable rodeos held annually in Wyoming. It's called frontier days. While "frontier days" is not the first independent rodeo, it is the oldest annual show taking place each year since 1897. 40. What is the topic mainly about? 41. What can be inferred about the early radio? 42. What is the significant about the frontier days. 45-46 We've been looking at fear from biological perspective. And someone asked whether the tendency to be fearful is genetic. While some study done with mice indicate that mammals do inherit fearfulness to some degree. In one study for instance, a group of mice were placed in the bright lit open boxes with no hiding places. Some of the micewondered around the box and didn't appear to be bothered about being so exposed. But other mice didn't move. They stayed up against one wall, which indicate that they were afraid. Well, when fearful mice or you might say anxious mice like ones who stayed in one place. When mice like this were bred with one another repeatedly, after about 12 or so generations, then all of the offspring show similar signs of fearfulness. And even when the new born mouse from this generation was raised by a mother and with other mice who were not fearful, that mice still tend to be fearful as the result. Now, why is this? Well, it's thought that the specific gene in animal body haveinfluenced on the anxious behavior. These genes that are associated with particular nerve cell receptors in brain. And the degree of overall fearfulness in the mammal seemto depend in the large part on the presence or absence of these nerve cell receptors. And this appears to apply to humans as well by the way. But while the tendency towards anxiety and fear may well be an inherited trait, but the specific form that the fear takes has more to do individual environment. So a particular fear like the fear of snakes or the fear of spider, say, is not genetic. But the overall tendency to have fearful responses is. 43. What is the talk mainly about? 44. How did some of the mice in the study demonstrated that they were afraid? 45. According to the professor, what contribute to a mammal tendency to be fearful? 46. Why does the prof. mentions snakes and spiders? 47-50 One type of natural spring geographer is interested in is artesian spring. Hiking through the woods some of you are surprised to see water flowing from the opening in the ground. That will no more ever. That may be artesian spring. To help you understand why water might flow like this from underground, I'd like to explain two basic conditions that necessary for their formation. The first condition is that water must be contained in an aquifer(含水土层. An aquifer is an underground layer of rock sediment that has pores or holes in it. And this pores rock allows water to flow through it freely. The aquifer must be inclined so that the over the surface of the ground. Rain water enter this through exposed and traveled downward to the lower portion of the aquifer. The second condition is that above and below the aquifer there must be layer of pores or clay. Either calledaquicludes(含水土层, and they block or hinder the flow of water. Aquicludes prevent water from drilling out of aquifers. So, let us go back to our artesian spring. There usually located above the ground near the lower and wind …… aquifer. A artesian spring are those places some hole crack stand from the ground surface, down through the Aquicludes and into the aquifer. Now the rain water that had drilled into the aquifer makes expose up end created pressure at the low end, so if there is crack in the rock, a crack that run from the aquifer to the surface, then the pressure pushes the water up through it. and water trickling out of the artesian spring. 47. What is the topic mainly about? 48. Why are the aquicludes important to the development of the artesianspring? 49. According to the prof., how does water in the aquifer reach the ground surface? 50. What does the prof. Say about the pressure?。

I assume everyone here is a sophomore, since this is the Nursing Department second-year physiology course. If you are first-year nursing students, please see me after class about transferring into introductory course. Okay, I'd like to begin my first lecture by introducing two important terms, vitalism versus mechanism. How many of you have heard of these terms? Oh, I see some of you have. Well, vitalism and mechanism are two completelyopposite approaches to human physiology. According to the vitalist, the laws of physics and chemistry alone can not explain the processes of life. To the vitalist, there is a so-called vital force, and this vital force is totally separate from that of energy. As you may have guessed, vitalism is a kind of philosophical approach. Mechanism, on the other hand, is the view that all life phenomena, no matter how complex, can be explained according to chemical and physical laws. Since we can support mechanism through scientific experimentation, the modern scientist tends to be a mechanist. But vitalism is not totally dismissed, especially in fields such as brain physiology, where terms such as human consciousness haven't been defined yet in physic-chemical terms.I recently read an interesting article dealt with this very question. Is the mind separate from brain, or is the mind only the chemical and physiological workings of the brain? I'd like to continue with this next time, so that we can speak in more detail. I have some copies of that article. And I want you to take it with you and read it for next week.36. For whom is the lecture intended?37. When is this lecture given?38. How would a vitalist view the functions of the mind?39. What does the professor tell her students to do?W: Art Department, the treasurer Brown speaking.M: Hello, Professor Brown, my name is Frak Meloy. I'm thinking of taking your course in acrylic painting, and I'm calling to find more about it.W: Have you ever worked with acrylic paints?M: I've done very little painting at all. I'm a chemistry major, but I enjoy drawing and the course description says that any student can sign up. I assume that means that experience inpainting isn't necessary.W: Yes, that's right. We'll be using acrylic paints instead of oils because they are easier to handle and dry more quickly. Also, beginning students can get a good feel for what they can do with textures by working with acrylic paints.M: My roommate is also a chemistry major but he has painted quite a bit. If he signed up for the course, would he find it too easy?W: No, he could work on using techniques he already knows and applying them to principles of composition, color and design. There's something for everyone in this course.M: One more question: Do we need to bring our own brushes and paints to class?W: Yes, you can buy them at the bookstore. I'll provide drawing board and any other supplies that's necessary. I hope you decide to join us.M: It sounds interesting, I'll definitely register today.W: Fine. See you next Monday afternoon, Don't forget your brushes and paints.40. Who's the man?41. What does the man want to find out?42. According to the woman, what is one main advantage of the acrylic paints?43. According to the woman, what can beginning painters do with the acrylic paints？44. What night the man's roommate do in the course?45. What will the man do before the end of the day?Now I 'd like to talk to you about the final exam. The exam will be held next Thursday, the last day of the exam week. Remember to bring along two or three pens in case you run outof ink. Unlike the midterm, this test will not include multiple-choice questions. It'll consist entirely of essays. You'll have to answer three of the five essay- questions. The exam will be comprehensive, which means you'll be responsible for all of the subject matter we've covered in class. I would suggest you review your mid-term's as well as the text book and your class notes, The final will count for 50% of your grade in the course. The research project will count for 20%, and the mid-tern 30%. I'll be in my office almost all day on Tuesday next week. If you run into any problems, please fell free to stop in. Good luck with your studying, and I'll see you on Thursday.46. When will the exam take place?47. What should the students bring with them to the exam?48. What will be format of the exam?49. Why does the teacher call the exam comprehensive?50. When is this talk most likely being given?。

How does it feel to be back on campus?W: Keach, hi. W ell, to tell you the tru th, I have mixed feelings.M: Oh, why?W: I have this great summer job that I really hated to leave. I worked at the wild life research center in Maryland.M: That makes sense for a genetic major. What did you do? Clean the cages?W: This is a wild life center, not a zoo. This place b reeds endangered species and tries to prepare them for life in the wild.M: You mean the endangered species like the tiger and the panda?W: Well, endangered species, yes, but not tigers or pandas. I was working with whooping cranes（鹤）and sand tail cranes. It was really neat. I taught the baby crane how to eat and drink, and I help the vet（兽医）give them medical check-ups.M: I can see why it was hard to leave that job. But how did you teach a bird how to eat and drink?W: We covered ou rselves up with cloth and used pu ppets made out of stuffed cranes to show the baby chicks what to do. Then the chicks copied what the puppets did.M: Cloth? Puppets? Sounds like fu n.W: It was. The cloth and puppets are the key tool of this. We all covered ourselves up, the scientists, the vets, the ju nior staff, everyb ody. Y ou see, baby cranes will become attached to their care-takers.M: So if the care-taker is a person, the crane will stay in places where people are.W: Yeah. And their chances for survival aren't very good. Bu t b y covering ourselves and b y using bird puppets the chicks are more likely to seek ou t other birds rather than people. And their transition to the wild has a better chance of being successful. M: A chance of being successful? Hasn't this been done before?W: It's been done with sand tail cranes and everyone is optimistic abou t its work with whooping cranes too.M: If this works, it should increase the nu mber of cranes in the wild.W: Y eah. It's exciting, isn't it?35. Why does the woman say she has a mixed feelings?36. What was the woman's job?37. What is the goal of the wild life center?38. Why does the man mention the tigers and pandas?39. Why do the staff members cover themselves with clothes as they work?PAR T C40～42In 1871 the first passenger elevators were used in office buildings and allowed architects to build hig her than people could comfortably walk. Another innovation was in building technique. In 1885 the steel skeleton was introduced and allowed for the construction of tall building that could withstand high winds. W e take for granted some of the other inventions that enabled people to live and work in skyscrapers. For example, few people realized that the telephone was necessary for vertical commu nication and that flush toilet(抽水马桶) and vacuum incinerator（燃烧器）made waste disposal possible. Now as we entered the age of super skyscraper, some with more than 200 floors, we see the need for even more technological innovations. In the area of heating and cooling systems for example, for all their benefits, these super tall building still cause problems though. For one thing they place enormous strain on parking and traffic flow in u rban areas. But let's leave behind these technical concerns and move on to consider some of the desig n elements that have come to characterize the age of the skyscraper.40. What d oes the professor mainly discuss?41. What d oes the professor say ab out the invention of the elevator?42. What will the professor probably discuss next?43～46Good morning. Let me welcome all the new members of the ski patrol. My name is Brenda Peters and I'v e been a ski-patroller for nearly three years. After working in offices and restau rants I find this job very satisfying. After all, if you love the outd oors, it's a great job. You won't get rich, but you get in great shape and you will be able to help people everyday. And for me the best part of the job is giving ski lessons I'v e made a lot of friends that way. Of course your main responsibilities will involve ensuring the safety of everyone who skis here. All trails have to be checked daily to make sure they are groomed(修饰使整洁) probably. You also will have to be watching ou t constantly for people who aren't skiing safely, or who may think they are better skiers than they really are. And to help those who are injured, you'll have to know basic first aid. Tomorrow you will begin training in a first aid（急救）system that skiers specifically to the outd oors. We pride ourselves in our ability to get people off the mou ntain quickly and safely. OK, so you are free to explore the slopes(斜坡) for the test of the day. All in all, I think that being a ski patroller is great job I hope you will all feel the same way.43. What d oes the speaker mainly discuss?44. According to the speaker, what is one advantage of working on a ski patrol?45. What d oes the speaker say she likes most ab out giving ski lessons?46. According to the speaker, what is one of the man responsibilities of ski patroller?47～50If you flew over certain parts of Nebraska and Texas by plane, you might notice some large areas appearing as bright green circles many hundreds of feet across. This g reen is u nusual in the high plains area where the climate is very dry. These green patches are the result of a new technique for mining the u nderground water. In this technique, miners bore（钻）deep holes in the ground u ntil they reach a special geological formation called ocheropher. The water which has collected in this ocherophers for hundreds of years is called fossil water or ground water. It pu mped up through the b orehole and sprayed over the land to irrigate crops. Raising crops such as cotton and wheat, water in this way creates the fertile green areas that contrast vividly with the natural b rown of the plains. C rop yields have increase dramatically. However they created a serious environmental problem. Th e problem is that the water is being removed from many ocherophers faster than it can be replenished naturally. Ground water levels have dropped rapidly and it's becoming more difficult and expensive to get this water. In some parts of Texas, water levels in some of the ocherophers have declined by more 400 feet in 25 years. This process of using water faster than it can be replaced is wide-spread and serious.47. What d oes the speaker mainly discuss?48. What benefits have resulted from the technique?49. What is happening to grou nd water?50. What d oes the speaker imply abou t ground water?96年5月托福听力文字Reach hig h, for stars lie hidden in your soul.Dream deep, for every dream precedes the g oal.Part A1.

And this guy Clarence Birdseye's ou t ice-fishing.B: Where is this, A ntarctica?A: No. Massachusetts I think. Anyway he catches a fish and drops it beside him on the ice and it freezes solid.B: So?A: So, later at home he thaws ou t（解冻）the fish in a bucket（桶）of water and it's alive. Of course Birdseye is amazed. Bu t he eventually figures ou t that the fish froze so fast that no large ice crystals formed.B: What do you mean?A: Look, usually when a plant or animal cell freezes, large ice crystals form inside and eventually tear the cell walls. That's what kills the frozen plant or animal. And also what changes the taste of something that's been frozen. Bu t if you freeze somethin g quickly, only very small ice crystals form. So Birdseye invented the process of quick freezing food.B: And that was the beginning of the frozen foods?A: Right.35. Why does the woman tell the man the story?36. Why is it important to quick freeze fresh food?37. What was Clarence Birdseye surprised to learn?PAR T C38 - 41At the beginning of the century the railroads were used to haul（拖运）everything. Powerful railroad barons(巨头) made fortunes without having to be accou ntable to the public or considerate of the customers. But cars and trucks changed all of that. And by 1970, the rail industry was beset（困扰）with problems. Trucks were taking all the new business. And even so the rail industry remained indifferent to customers. Also many regulations kept the rail industry from adjusting to shifting market. Bu t in 1980s, the rail industry entered the modern era when a deregulation（反常）bill was passed that allowed railroad companies to make quick adjustments to fees（费用）and practices. C ompanies reduced their lines by 1/3 and used fewer employees. They also took steps to minimize damage to product. And to increase their shipping capacity b y stacking（堆）freight containers on railroad cars. To accommodate these taller loads, underpasses（高架桥下通道）and tunnels were enlarged. The image of the rail industry has changed dramatically. Today companies are very responsive to customers and are gaining increasing market shares in the shipping industry. The railroad safety record is also strong. Freight trains have an accident rate that is only 1/3 that of the trucking industry. Trains also come ou t ahead of(领先) the trucks on environmental grou nds because they give off only 1/10 to 1/3 thepollu tion that is emitted by trucks. And railroading（铁路建设）does not wear ou t(消磨) highways as trucks do.38. What d oes the speaker mainly discuss?39. What development caused a decline in the use of railroads?40. What is one reason why the railroad industry is gaining public support?41. According to the speaker, what expense d oes trucking public su pport?42 - 45This coffee can（铁罐）contains soil from my garden. And I prepared slide samples to show you that it is alive. This ordinary backyard dirt is crawling（表面涂布不均的）with microbes. “Microbes”is not a very specific term. There are hundreds of thousands of different species called microbes. What they have in common is that we can't see them with a naked eye. They are microscopic. Look at this slide. You should see some round cells. Those are yeasts(酵母). Y easts are fermenters（发酵桶）. And they are necessary for making bread, beer, yogurt and so forth. Now look for an irregular shape with hairs coming ou t of it. That's a mold. Molds are decomposers, and they are responsible for the decomposition of my mycoplastlees. You should also see some protozoa（原虫）. Some protozoa, like the one causes malaria, are harmful to people. A microbe causes disease is called a pathogen(病原体). Finally you should see a lot of squiggly（弯弯曲曲的）lines. They are bacteria. The oldest form of life on earth. Like these other microbes, bacteria are single-cells, bu t they are even more simple structure, because their cells do not have nucleus. So I've got abou t a teaspoon（荼匙）of soil in my hand. In that teaspoon are abou t ten thousand protozoa, 200 thousand mold cells, a million yeasts, and probably a billion bacteria.42. What is the main purpose of the talk?43. Why did the speaker take a soil sample from his garden?44. What d oes the speaker imply abou t yeasts?45. What d oes the speaker ask the class to look at during the talk?46-50Ten years ago, the eccentric(古怪的) cyclist pedaling(蹬) furiously though the first snow storm of the year was rare sight, often captured on film for the evening news. Today however, it estimated that 4-5% of cyclists bicycle year-rou nd. The increase popularity of winter cycling can be attributed to the creation of mountain bike and its subsequent imitation. Ou tfitted(配备) with part more sturdy than those of yesterday, equipped with their more stable bicycle, nothing seem to stop the new breed of winter cyclist. W e straight dry and clear on those winter days. Many winter cyclists wear running shoes and protect themselves form the cold b y wearing d own-hill-skiing clothes. On wet days, cyclists can wear special water-proof over their shoes, bu t for all of its popularity, there is downside(下降趋势) to winter cycling. Even mountain bike can withstand winter snow and rain withou t extensive upkeep(维修费) , but one bicycle store owner is in the final stages of developing a year-rou nd bicycle with innovated complete chain cover, with bicycle chains covered, cyclists would need clean and oil their chains only once every six month instea d of once a week. Despite her invention, however, she still ad vises cyclists to take a taxi or bus when it’s snowing heavily. Not because conditions are too arduous for bicycle, but because she believes bikers can’t have confident in the people who drive car on days of reduced visibility.（能见度低）96年8月托福听力文字Never d o today what you can put off until tomorrow.Part A1.

I'm inviting some of their friends and families for a welcome（受欢迎的）home dinner.Oh, that's really thoughtful（体贴的，有思想的）of you.I figure（表示）it's the least I can do for them.

How was your trip?Wonderful I spent most of my time at the art museum. I especially liked the new wing（机翼，翅膀）. I was amazed to hear the guide explain the problems they had building it.Right. I just read an article that went on & on about the cost. 90 million total I think.Yeah. The guide mentioned that. You could see they spared（节约，省下）no expense.Hm. It looked really unusual, at least from what I saw in the picture.It is. The basic design is two triangles（三角形）. In fact there are triangles all over. The paving（铺的）stones in the courtyard（院子）, the skylights（天窗）and even a lot of the sculptures.One sculpture is a mobile. It's in the courtyard and it's made of pieces of aluminum（铝）that moves slowly in the air. It's really impressive（给人印象深刻的）.That was in the article too. It said that the original was steel and it weighed so much that it wasn't safe to hand（拿起）.Right. They did it over in aluminum so it wouldn't come crashing down（碰到）on someone's head.You know the article went into（研究）that in detail. There was even an interview with the sculptor（雕刻家）.I'd like to read that. Would you mind if I borrow the magazine sometime?No. I wouldn't mind if I haven't thrown it out yet.34.

What was the problem with the original mobile?(A) It was made of aluminum.(B) It wasn't large enough.(C) It wouldn't move in the wind.(D) It was too heavy to put up.Questions 38 to 41In the few minutes that remain of today's class. I'd like to discuss next week's schedule with you because I'm presenting（呈现，赠送）a paper at a conference in Detroit on Thursday, I won't be here for either Wednesday's or Friday's class. I will however be here for Monday's. Next Friday, a week from today, is the midterm exam, marking the half way point in the semester. Prof. Andrews has agreed to administer（执行,管理）the exam. In place of the usual Wednesday's class, I've arranged an optional review session. Since it is optional, attendance （参加，出席）will not be taken. However attending the class would be a good idea for those worried about the midterm. So remember: Optional class next Wednesday; Midterm, Friday.38. What is the purpose of the talk?(A) To review material that will be on a test.(B) To introduce a new professor.(C) To explain changes in the schedule.(D) To describe the contents of a paper.39. At what point during the semester does the talk take place?(A) At the beginning.(B) In the middle.(C) One week before the end.(D) At the end.40.

Now most of these prehistoric desert people moved across the countryside（农村）throughout the year. You might think that they're wandering （闲逛，漫步）aimlessly（毫无目的的）. Far from it, they actually followed the series of carefully planned moves.Where they moved depended on where food was available. Places where plants were ripening（成熟）or fish were spawning（产卵）. Now often when these people moved, they carried all their possessions（财产，所有物）on their backs. But if the journey was long, extra food and tools were sometimes stored in caves （山洞，窑洞）or beneath（在…的下方）rocks.One of these caves is now an exciting archaeological site. Beyond（晚于）its small opening is a huge underground（地下的）grotto（洞穴）. Even though the cave is very large, it was certainly two dark（黑暗）and dusty（灰蒙蒙的）for the crawlers（爬行动物）to live in.But it was a great place to hide things. And tremendous（巨大的）amounts of food supplies and artifacts（手工艺品）have been found there. The food includes dried fish seeds（种子）and nuts（工艺品）. The artifacts include stone spear（矛）points（尖）and knives. The spar（争论）points are actually rather small. Here is a picture of some that were found. You can see their size in relation to（有关，涉及）the hands holding them.42. What is the main subject of this talk?(A) Rock formations in the Nevada desert.(B) Graduate studies in anthropology.(C) Excavation techniques used in archaeology.(D) Prehistoric desert people of Nevada.43. What point does the speaker make about the prehistoric people of the Nevada Desert?(A) They planned their migrations.(B) They didn't travel far from their base camps.(C) They hid from their enemies in caves.(D) They planned seeds near their camps.44. Why didn't the people live in the cave described by the speaker?(A) They had trouble finding it.(B) Lack of light made it impossible.(C) It was too small for a group to fit into.(D) Items stored by others took up most of the space.45. What have archaeologists found in the cave?(A) Prehistoric desert people.(B) Migratory animals.(C) Food supplies and tools.(D) Growing plants.46. Why does the speaker show a photo to the class?(A) To illustrate the size of some objects.(B) To introduce the next assignment.(C) To show some artifact on display at the campus museum.(D) To demonstrate his photographic ability.Question 47 to 50To us, the environment in which fish dwell（居住）often seems cold, dark and mysterious（神秘的，不可思议的）. But there are advantages to living in water. And they've played an important role in making fish what they are. One is that water isn't subject to（易受…的）sudden temperature changes. Therefore it makes an excellent habitat（n 住处）for a cold blooded animal.Another advantage is the water's ability to easily support body weight. Protoplasm（原浆）has approximately the same density（密度）as water. So a fish in water is almost weightless（无重量的）. This weightlessness in turn（依次）means two things:1) A fish can get along with a light weight and a simple bone structure. And2) Limitations（局限，限制）to a fish's size are practically（实际上）removed. Yet there is one basic difficulty to living in water the fact that it is incompressible （不能压缩的）. For a fish to move through water, it must actually shove（猛推）it aside（adv在旁边，到一边）. Most can do this by wiggling（折弯运动）back and forth （反复地，来回地）in snakelike motion. The fish pushes water aside by the forward motion of its head and with a curve of its body and its flexible tall. Next the water flows back along the fish's narrowing（狭小的）size, closing in at the tall and helping the fish propel（推动）itself forward.The fact that water is incompressible has literally（真正地）shaped（形成）the development of fish. A flat and angular（有角的）shape can be moved through water only with difficulty. And for this reason, fish have a basic shape that is beautifully adapted to deal with this peculiarity（特点，特性）.47. What is the talk mainly about?(A) A comparison of fish to warm-blooded animals.(B) The difference between saltwater and freshwater environments.(C) The importance of fish to human beings.(D) How water has affected the development of fish.48. What does the speaker mention as a problem that water presents to fish?(A) It can't be compressed.(B) It is often polluted.(C) Its temperature often fluctuates dramatically.(D)It limits their size.49. The speaker compares a fish's movement with that of what creature?(A) A whale.(B) A human.(C) A snake.(D) A snail.50. What aspect of a fish does the speaker discuss in the most detail?(A) Its skeleton.(B) Its shape.(C) Its senses.(D)Its body temperature.。

I was wondering if you could fill me in on Monday’s class? I had to go the dentist for emergency and I missed Prof. Smith’s lecture. What was it on?It was pretty interesting. She talked about volcanoes, active volcanoes, under the-uh-West Antarctic ice sheet.There are active volcanoes under the ice?Apparently so. She said they help protect the ice sheet and prevent melting.Flooding will be pretty bad if that ice melted, not only there, but all over the world.You lost me there. Volcanoes are hot. How can something hot prevent ice from melting.Wait a minute, let me check my notes. Yeah, here it is. Volcanic heat melts just enough ice to create a slippery surface on the bottom of the glacier. This water allows ice to fellow out into the ocean. So the solid interior ice is protected from the oc ean’s warm.Does that make sense?Sort of. You mean that because the ice is flowing out to the ocean, the warmer ocean water can’t flow in.Exactly. And the ice that melts is constantly being replaced by snow. Prof. Smith said that if the ice sheet ever broke up and melted, the sea level would go up seven meters. Then we would have those floods.Is that really possible? Or is it one of those exaggerations you hear all the time.As far as I can understand, it is possible, because of global warming. I mean if the ocean got a lot warmer that interior ice would be very likely to melt.Thanks for telling me about the lecture. Sounds like I’ve missed a pretty important class.31. Why did the man ask the woman about the lecture?32. What was the top ic of the professor’s lecture?33. What information confused the man?34. According to the woman, what protects the interior ice from the warmth of the ocean?Questions 35-38 Listen to a radio interview about cycling.And now here is our guest Jane Thomas to tell us about Montreal’s famous yearlyisland bicycle tour which is coming up in June. Good morning, Jane. What’s the biketour all about?Well, Peter, it’s an event that’s opened to anybody who’d like to ride a bicycle throughthe streets of Montreal. The tour covers a standard distance of 65 kilometers. But theroute’s quite different every year. So even people who’ve already done it might enjoydoing it again.How long does it take to go the whole distance?It varies. Cyclists are free to go as fast or as slow and do as much or as little of the course as they like.Well, what’s the typical pace for a participant?Between 12 and 30 kilometers per hour. Some cyclists stop along the way and don’t cross the finish lin e until early evening. But the whole point is that there is no rush. It’s not a race.I understand last year’s tour had 45,000 cyclists and it was the largest mass cycling event in the world. How many do you expect this year?The same as last year. And since we regularly have so many participants, can I take this opportunity to remind our listeners to sign up early? We filled up quickly last year and we had to refused lots of applications.Before we close, any other tips for all prospective cyclists?Yes, take water with you. It is available at the relay station. But it helps to have an additional supply. And pack a good lunch with plenty of fruit for energy. Candy and chocolate don’t do the trick.35. What is the main subject of the conversation?36. According to the woman, what is different every year?37. What does the woman imply about the participants?38. What does the woman mention is provided at the relay station?Part CQuestions 39-42 Listen to talk given by a history professor.I’m sure almost everyone of you looked at your watch or at a clock before you came to class today. Watches and clocks seem as much part of our life as breathing or eating. Any yet, do you know that watches and clocks were scarce in the United States until the late 1850s. In the late 1700s people didn’t know the exact time unless they were near a clock. Those delightful clocks in the squares of European towns were built for the public.After all, most citizens simply couldn’t afford a personal timepiece.Well, until the 1800s, in Europe and the United States, the main purpose of a watch, which by the way was off and ona gold chain, was to show others how wealthy you were. The word “wrist watch” didn’t even enter the English language until nearly 1900. By then, the rapid pace of industrialization in the United States meant that measuring time had become essential. How could the factory worker get to work on time, unless he or she knew exactly what time it was. Since efficiency was now measured by how fast the job was done, everyone was interested in time. And since industrialization made possible the manufacture of large quantities of goods, watches became fairly inexpensive. Furthermore, electric lights kept factories going around the clock. Being “on time” had entered the language and life of every citizen.39. What does the professor mainly discuss?40. What was true of watches before the 1850s?41. According to the speaker, why did some people wear watches in the 1800s?42. What effect did industrialization have on watch making?Questions 43-46 Listen to a guide in an aquarium.This room is devoted to electric fish. The eel in the tank behind me can produce a strong jolt of electricity to stun its prey. But most of the fish in here produce only weak electrical impulses that are useful for navigating, locating food and even for communicating.The knife fish is a good example. This fish navigates using tiny receptors in the skin that are sensitive to electrical impulses. The knife fish produces an electrical signal and the receptors in its skin let it know when the signal is distorted by a tree root or other obstacle, so it can go around it.Fish also use the ability to produce and detective electrical impulses to communicate.They can tell each other what species they belong to, how big they are and whether they are male or female. We had a tank here that’s specially equipped to convert the inaudible signals that fish produce into sounds you can hear when you put on these headphones. I urge you all to listen in when I’m done speaking.Now have a look at the electric rays. Rays are specially interesting to medical researchers because of the organs they use to produce electricity. These organs contain a chemical that carries signals from one nerve ending to the next, not only in rays but also in people. By studying these organs, scientists hope to learn more about diseases that interrupt the transmission of impulses from one nerve to another.43. What is the talk main about?44. What does the knife fish use electricity for?45. Why does the speaker suggest putting on headphones?46. According to the speaker, what medical benefits might result from studying electricalrays?Questions 47-50 Listen to a lecture given in a dance history class.So why did what is now called “modern dance” begin in the United States? To begin to answer this question I’ll need to back track a little bit and talk about classical ballet.By the late 1800s, ballet had lost a lot of its popularity. Most of the ballet dancers who performed in the United States were brought over from Europe. They performed using the rigid techniques that had been passed down through the centuries. Audiences and dancers in the United States were eager for their own contemporary dance form. And so around 1900, dancers created one. So how was this modern dance so different from classical ballet?Almost notably, it wasn’t carefully choreographed. In stead, the dance depended on the improvisation and free personal expression of the dancers. Music and scenery were of little importance to the modern dance. And lightness of movement wasn’t important either. In fact, modern dancers make no attempt at all to conceal the effort involved in the dance step.But even if improvisation appealed to audiences, many dance critics were lest enthusiastic about the performances. They questioned the artistic integrity of dancers who were not professionally trained and the artistic value of works that had no formal structure. Loi Fore, after performing fire dance, was described as doing little more than turning round and round like an eggbeater. Yet the free personal expression of the pioneer dancers is the basis of the controlled freedom of modern dance today.47. What does the speaker mainly discuss?48. Why were ballet performances unpopular in the United Stated in the early 1900s?49. What is the distinguishing feature of modern dance performances?50. Why were early modern dancers criticized by dance critics?源于：小马过河相关推荐：2012年11月18日托福写作真题解析2012年11月18日托福口语真题解析2012年11月18日托福阅读真题解析2012年11月18日托福听力真题解析。

What are you up to? Is that really a French grammar book?Well, I’m trying to teach myself some French. When I go to Montreal next semester, Idon’t want to sound like just another t ourist. Most of the people there are bilingual. Leave Boston to go to Montreal? I didn’t know this university had a program inCanada.It doesn’t. I’m planning to take a short leave of absence from school, so I can go there on my own.What’s the reason for this sudden interest in Canada?Well, actually I’ve been thinking about going for some time now. I know someone there who’s been wanting me to visit.A relative?An old friend of my uncle’s runs a chemical engineering department there. So, I’m hoping he can help me enroll in some interesting courses.If you want those credits transferred back here later on, you’d better arrange for it before you leave. Don’t forget what happened to Susan after she came back from Rome.Yeah, but her situation was different. I already have all the credits I need to graduate.So you’ll be taking courses just for the sake of learning.That will be a nice change of pace, won’t it?31. What was Frank doing at the beginning of the conversation?32. What does the woman suggest that Frank do?33. What does Frank say about his academic status?Questions 34-38 Listen as a student asks a question in a physics lecture.It’s important that you all understand that quartz heaters operate on a totally different principle than common convection heaters. Yes?Could you give us an example of a convection heater?Ok. But first you tell me what convection means?Um, well, you said in the last class, I think, that convection is the transference of heat by a liquid or a gas.Right, A heater is using convection when it warms the air in a room. And the air in turn warms the people and objects in the room. A hot-water radiator, a stove and a forced air furnace are all convection heaters. A quartz heater on the other hand, heats the objects and people in a room without heating the air. It does this by producing radiation heat that travels like light waves. When the quartz crystal in a heater vibrates at a particularfrequency, its energy is turned into infrared radiation. The radiation is then directed a t objects by means of a reflector. If that’s clear, let’s move on to how room design can affect heating efficiency.34. What is the main topic of the discussion?35. What had the instructor probably been discussing in the previous class?36. What does the instructor ask the student?37. According to the instructor, how was the quartz heater different from other types of heaters?38. What is the purpose of a reflector on a quartz heater?Part CQuestions 39-42 Listen to university official talk about a job placement office.As a result of rising university costs, many students are finding it necessary to take on part-time job. T o make finding those jobs easier, the placement services put together a listing of what’s available locally. For some students, these part-time jobs could lead to full time work after graduation, as they may offer experience in their own field, be that finance, marketing or even management. For example, National Saving Bank offers a work on a half time basis. That’s twenty hours a week. Retail stores and restaurants have positions requiring fewer hours. Even less time is expected of those providing child-care. We have a number of families registered with us who were looking for baby sitters for as few as 4 hours a week. For students who prefer outdoor work, there are seasonal positions right on campus, working with the gardening and landscaping teams. These often require the most time and are the least flexible in terms of scheduling. To see a complete list of these and other available jobs, including thesalary offered and the hours required, stop by our office. Oh, and be sure to bring a resume with you. When you find something that inter ests you, we’ll put you in touch with the person offering it. In addition, our counselors will give you hints about successful interviewing.39. What is the purpose of the talk?40. What should students bring with them to the office?41. What will the counselors at the office help students do?42. What do all of the jobs have in common?Questions 43-46 Listen to a professor talking about United States art history.In this century, photographs have been really important for teaching art history. I’ll show yo u what I mean in a moment with some photographs taken by Peter and Paul Julie. The work of these two photographers has been a very useful source for studying the art produced in the United States from 1896 to the present. Peter and Paul Julie were not artists. But they were a regular part of the New York art theme. They took over a hundred thousand photographs which document the lives and work of thousands of artists. Peter Julie is known as a pioneer in this field of art photography. Georgia O’keefe and ot her famous artists sought him out to take pictures of their work. His specialty was photographing paintings. His son Paul photographed sculptures.Some of their most important photos are the ones of works of art that have since been destroyed.One example is a photo that we’ll look at today. Would someone get the lights please? Thanks. This slide is from a photograph of a painting by Edward Hopper called Corn Belt city. The painting was exhibited only two or three times before it was destroyed in a fire. Without the Julie photograph, no visualrecord of the work would exist.Although the Julies mostly photographed the work of painters and sculptors, they also occasionally photographed architectural subjects. They did quite a few photos of buildings by John R ussell Pope. And we’re going to look at one of those next.43. What does the professor mainly discuss?44. What did Peter Julie do for Georgia O’keefe?45. According to the professor, what was the specialty of Peter Julie’s son, Paul?46. Why does the professor mention the photograph of the painting Corn Belt city?Questions 47-50 Listen to part of radio report about a scientific advance.Do you know that vegetables can be tricked into growing in climates they are not accustomed to? Cool climates vegetables like asparagus are now able to be grown in places as hot as Hawaii. In Hawaii, marine engineers have been able to actually convince such vegetables that they are living in cooler climates. That way they grow faster and taste better. What these engineers have been using is very simply cold seawater.How do they use it? They placed pipes in the soil and the cold water flowing through them cools the earth. This stimulates plant growth and enables gardeners in tropical climates to grow crops from cooler climates. Also, some of these pipes are exposed to the air and they condense moisture and thus irrigate the gardens. What is especially appealing about this process is that nothing damaging to the natural environment is being used.Another innovative use for cold ocean water is to cool buildings. Engineers believe that, for example, the entire westcoast of the United States could be air-conditioned using seawater. We’ll be back to discuss that possibility after this commercial message.47. What is the report mainly about?48. What does the new system enable farmers to do?49. How were the pipes used in Hawaii?50. Why does the speaker mention air-conditioning?。

I really like your luggageIt looks nice but it hasn't held up well.What does the woman think about her luggage?Part CQ36-39( talk, nutrition)Last week I told you about how the body uses vitamin C and foods that contain vitamin C, such as citrus fruit & tomatoes. Now I want to discuss Vitamin D which is important to human nutrition because it helps the body to absorb Calcium. Calcium as you know is essential for maintaining heatyl bones & teeth. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to serious bone diseases. So in the United States it is added to milk, a staple food in most people's diet. Vitamin D is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin. That' s because the body requires sunlight in order to make use of it. Here's how it works: when ultraviolet rays from the sun strike the vitamin D in our SKIN, the sunlight converts vitamin D to its active form & a substance called calciferol is produced. Calciferol is what carries the calcium to our bones. If our bodies are not exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun we cannot convert vitamin D to it's active form, and thus cannot make use of any of the calcium that we have consumed in our food . Eventually we would suffer FROM Acalcium deficiency and have weak bones. Luckily it takes only 10 to 20 minutes of exposure to sunlight a day to ensure sufficient vitamin D production. Except in extremely atmospheric conditions like very heavy smog or a sunless climate, most people are able to get enough exposure to the sun. Doctors recommend that people who don't drink very much milk take vitamin supplements and that everyone spend at least 10 minutes in the sun everyday.36. Why is vitamin D important?37. In the United States, what is the main source of vitamin D for most people?38. What is necessary to convert vitamin D to it's active form?39. According to the speaker, what might happen to the people who stay in doors all the time?Q40 - 43 Conversation between two friendsHey! You got a new television.Yeah! It was delivered yesterday, what do you think of it?It's huge. It practically takes up the entire side of the room.I know. I know, you don't think it's, well, excessive, do you?I didn't say that. I mean, if you enjoy it, why not? What happened to your old TV, anyhow?It just stopped working last Friday. It was pretty old & didn't work well, I thought you can afford it, why not get a new one?It must've been expensive?Well, not as much as you might think. I got it on sale for 50% offReally? Where?At the stereo city on Route 20. You know at first I just wanted to replace what I had. A TV of about the same size & quality. But the salesman was pushing these because of the 50% off. Yeah. But 50% off what?2,400 dollars.You spent $ 1,200 on a TV?It's got a lot of special features. Look at this remote control.I'm sure. But that's still a lot of money for a television. I didn't think you watch TV that much. Well, I don't. Do you think I ought to return it? If I do it within a week of purchase, I can get my money back.Honestly, yes. And you know what, and I think you ought to read up on TV’s first and choose the make & model you want before you go to the store. That way you will get what you want.I think you are right.40. What is the main topic of the conversation?41. What does the woman suggest the man do?42. What will the man probably do as a result of the conversation?43. What is the man's attitude toward the television?Q44 - 47 Talk (astronomy discovery)As you begin your study of the heavens, you may feel that the odds of your making any impact on the field of astronomy are impossibly low. But in fact important breakthroughs can come from student work. You may have heard in the media that the examples of one of the most illusive objects in the cosmos the brown dwarf were found by a 27 - year - old student Clare Briadger. Scientists all over the world had been searching for more than 50 years and yet the discovery wasmade by someone still in graduate school. When Ms. Briadger presented a paper at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society, her talk was for me the highlight of the meeting. There was considerable agreement that what she had found was indeed the illusive Brown Dwarf. For those of you who don' t yet know, Brown Dwarfs are these gaseous bodies that are too large to be planets, but not massive enough to ignite into full - blown stars. While others spent their time studying what shows up big and bright in the heavens, Ms. Briadger searched for the small and faint. She spent about 2 years at a computer scanning and classifying pin- points of light within clusters of stars. She sometimes worked 100 hours in a single week. Then finally she was able to isolate a number of points that seemed to be actual Brown Dwarfs. Her discovery may help to explain how stars form and thus answer some of our questions about the ultimate of the universe.44.Whom is the speaker probably addressing?45.What does the speaker mean when she talks about making an impact on the field of astronomy?46.Who made the discovery that is being discussed?47.Why are Browfs Dwarves important?Q48 50 (Conversation)Hey, Sam! You should take a look at this article about Canadian scorpionI didn't know there were scorpions in Canada. I thought they only lived in deserts.Well, the deadly Kind do. Like in Arizona and New Mexico.I thought all scorpion were dangerous.No, only about 25 kinds are lethal to humans, Actually there are over 1,500 different species. But only one lives in Canada.Where in Canada? Not around here?Well, mostly Sakatchewan and Alberta. But yeah, right here in British Columbia too.Is the Canadian kind poisonous?Not for humans. Supposedly their sting is no worse than a bee's. Anyway scorpions are all over the place. They can live in just about any climate. In fact the only continent where they don't live is Antarctica.Why? Is it too cold there?There must be other reasons. Because according to this article scorpions can withstand conditions that'd probably kill most other animals. Scientists did all these Experiments, like the scorpion was frozen in a block of ice for 3 weeks and when they melted the ice, it just walked away.It was still alive?Yeah. But what's most amazing is that they also survived the radiation levels 200 times what would kill a human. No wonder they’ve outlived the dinosaurs.Listen. I've gotta run. But I really like a copy of that article.No problem. I'll make one for you.48. How did the woman learn about the scorpions?49. Where do the two students probably live?50. What did the scientists experiments show about the scorpion?。

they all have one of the three basic forms;hexagona!columns,this hexagonal plates andthe balnching star-shaped form.M:I wonder why are forms different,maybe because ice starts to form on dus particles with different shape.W:Well I thouht it might have something to do with the water saturation of the air.but we're both wrong,The author of this articale did extensive research and concluded that the shapes of snow crystals largely controlied by the temperature of the air.For example,the featherly star-shaped snowflake that everyone thinks is typical occurs only at a specific temparature.N:Doesn't the relative humdity has anything to do with the shapes?W:Apparently not.The affect of super saturation is simply to alter the growth rate.The greater the saturation,the faster the snow flakes form.M:Wh,next time when it snows,I'll make a point fo taking a close look.36.What are the people discussing?37.Why has the woman brought up the subject snowflake?38.How many basic types of snowflakes are there?39.What determined the shape of the snowflakes?40.What does the man say that he is going to do?41-45Good evening,welcome to the first meetiong of ourspring cycling season.It's a pleasure to see so many new faces here.I certainly hope that most of you will soon feel right:a home with our group and bibybling will become a regular hobby for you and a part of your physicalfitness routine.Some of you may not reallize that the state of New Jersey offers ample opportunities for bicyclists of all abilities.We have rolling country side,miles of beaches,lovely hills and valeys and thousands of miles of little used roads.Beginners will find the shore and area south of Princeton suitable for their needs while expert riders will discover that the steep trails of the region around high point offer a challenge to their skill and stamina.In addition,New Jersay is rich in places of historical interest.The state abounds in colonial archeracture,battle fields of the revolution and other historic sites important in the early history of this country,most carefully preserved or have been meticulously restored.We organized tours to a variety of places nearly every weekend. Next Saturday tour will be a relatively easy one,from RectersUniversity to the gate of National Park.Interested cyclists should meet at eight a.m. in the parking lot at the corner of Hamilton Street and Coliege Acenue in New Branderswick.The minimum time of this tour is about six hours.We'll use a buddy system throughour the ride.Each nes rider should team up with a more experienced rider.If the puddles look after each other,we can be sure that no one will be left behind on the back road.You can pick up a map of Sautrday's tour at the information table before you leave this evening.41.What is the purpose of this talk?42.According to the speaker,waht makes New Jersey a good place to bicycle?43.Whay does the speaker mention the historical sites?44.What will some of the listeners probably do on Saturday?45.What is the purpose of the buddy system?46-50W:Hi,Tom.M:Judy,I haven't seen you in weeks.Where have you been?W:In Florida.M:What,vacationing while the rest of us have been studying on campus in the Feburary cold.W:Not exactly,I spent most of my time underwater.M:I don't understand.W:I was on a special field trip.I went with my marine biology class.M:So you went Souba diving,What were you looking for,Sunken treasure?W:You might say so,the sea is full of treasures,all kinds of strange fascination organisms.Our class concentrated on studying plankton.M:I thoutht planktons are too small to be seen.W:That's a common misconception.The term Plankton couvers a wide variety of freely floating plants and animals from microscopoc one-celled organism to large ones such as the common jellyfish.M:Jellyfish maybe large enough to be seen,but they are transparent,aren't they?W:Yes,most planktons have transparent tissues as a protective camouflage,It makes them practically invisible to predators.M:But not invisible to your bioloby class,I hope.W:By concentrating,Iwas able to see the outlines of lots of different planktonis plants and animals.In fact,our professor even took photographs of Greeber Quadata,which are small oceanic snails.M:How could the snails show up in the photograghs if they are transparent.W:We squirted GreeberQuadata with a harmless green day.Since particles of the day stuck to their tissues,the snails appeared in green outline in the photograph.M:That sound like a interesting trip.But I think if I'd been in Florida in Feburay,I'd much rather spend my time just swimming and lying in the sun.46.How did Judy spend most of her time in Folride?47.What was Tom doing in Feburary?48.What kind of class went on the field trip?49.Acording to Judy,What did her professor photograph?50.Why is it hard to see most planktons?倚窗远眺，目光目光尽处必有一座山，那影影绰绰的黛绿色的影，是春天的颜色。

Q: What does the woman mean?23. W：I know it’s short notice, but do you think to proofread the lab report for me tonight?M: Talk about the last minute（怎么现在才说）.Q: What can be inferred about the man?24. W: I have got to give my oral presentation in class tomorrow, and I am so nervous.M: May be you just need a trial run, why don’t you use me as your audience? Q: What does the man imply the woman should do?25. M: you know I have to leave the basket ball game halfway through last night. SoI never found out who won.W: Well, don’t look at me. I was just a few minutes behind you.Q: what does the woman mean?26. W: This salad needs something to give it some more flavour, don’t you think?You’re right, tell me what you like and I’ll run over（跑去）to the corner store, I need to get a few other items anyway.Q: What does the man offer to do?27. W: Jeff, I am so sorry, I don’t know what I did with your Spanish dictionary, of course, I will buy you a new one.M: Don’t be silly, I have had that rag ged（破旧的）old thing since junior high school, and I hardly ever use it anyway.Q: What does the man imply?28. M：Can I expect to see you at the party at the art gallery Friday night? The festivities(欢庆) begin at six and it probably last a few hours. W: Oh, Y eah, I wouldn’t miss it. Soccer practice doesn’t end until seven but then I will be there.Q: What does the woman mean?29. M: are you crazy, how come you blurted that out in front of doctor smith?W: I don’t know, I guess he just caught me off guard(在我没留意时听到我说).Q: What does the woman mean?30. W: I hear you have got your own studio now, are you still painting in oils?M: I am, and I just sold three pieces. And another one could shown in the exhibit next month.Q: What can be inferred from the man?Part B31-34M: Hi, rob, mind if I eat lunch with you?W: No, Mr. Evens, not at all.M: Thanks, I just heard you study nutrition and you’ve got a quite a bit experience working in the cafeteria, so I wonder if you have been interested in a small project we are doing this term.W: What was the project all about?M: More and more students have been deciding not to buy the meal plans here and we want to attract them back. So, I want to hear what students would like. Your job would be to found out. And, of course I’d like to hear the any of your own ideas.W: Well, if the menus were changed, then maybe I would have to listen to so much criticism. You know I have taken several nutrition classes, and everyone there sees me when I serve food hear. So they always complaint to me about the food.M: That makes you perfect for the job. Would you be interested?W: I am not sure. What is sort of changes that you thinking of?M: I’d like to make some changes in the way we prepare our food. For example, just look about we had to choose from today. You got a fried hamburg that dipping in oiland I got fried chicken. They both contain too much fat.W: But you’d better not get rid of them. They are everybody’s favorites. M： Well, we can certainly keep them but we need to give the people who are health conscious some choices. For example we could also prepare chicken without the fatty skin, and served on some rice with light sauce. Do you think that would appeal to the students?W: Well, I’d like fat. But you are right, you’d better f ind out what other think. Oh, sorry, I’ve got get back to work. I’d like to hear more though. I’ll drop by your office later.M: ok, see you then.31.

How do you get to meet her?A: Well, you know how that program they handed out they printed the words to the carol(颂歌) pieces along with the translations? I found if all these mistakes in the Latin text, you know, typographical(印刷上的).B: Wait a minute, you were actually reading the word?A: Wow, I will so caught up in the performance that I never even look at the program.B: I’d like to follow the test while I’m listening. It allows me understand what they are singing about. Anyway, when they were doing those Latin pieces, I notice all these mistakes, mostly spelling errors. But it was really annoying. So after the concert went over, people were crowding around the backstage to see her and soloist.A: Yeah, I remember, there were dozens of people waiting here for autograph(亲笔签名).B: Well, I wait to the end and then when I met Bob Johnson I showed her the mistakes I found.A: Was she upset?B: Upset? She actually thanked me and if I send her a copy of correct test. Shewill revise(校订) it for the next time they sing those pieces. And even print my name in the acknowledgement as a program editor.A: Woo, you are Latin must be pretty good to find out the errors.B: I should hope so, I majoring in classics.36. what is the man eager to tell the other students?37. what can be inferred about the two students?38. What was bob Johnson’s reaction to the man’s commons.39. what will the man probably seen to bob Johnson.［Part C40～42The cattle ranching(经营牧场) industry started in the western US in the late eighteen hundreds. As the industry developed so did the horse ridding contests that we called rodeos. Rodeos weren’t always the big entertainment shows that we see nowadays. The first ones were small contests started as an informal competition among people historically referred to the cowboys. Although they didn’t include both men and women. One duty of the cowboys was to guide the cattle from grass rangers into town along the railroad lines where the cows were loaded on to trains. The cowboys would gather near these cattle towns to compete for the unofficial title “best horse rider”. They were demonstrated the riding skills that they had learned as a matter of survival. And the audience was composed mainly of other cowboys who watch the competitor critically since they knew what the events were all about. Rodeos contest took a different turn in the 1890’s, when organizers began to hold cowboys sports during yearly agriculture affairs. What was different with the audience? It consist mostly people who were unfamiliar with the life on the range. They were amazed by the skills of riders and intelligence of horses. The rodeos at agricultural affairs became so popular that ranchers and business people began to organize rodeos as independent events separate from fairs. The organizers built large arenas(竞技场)， and earn money by requiring spectators to pay for admission. More and more notable rodeos held annually in Wyoming. It’s c alled frontier days. While “frontier days” is not the first independent rodeo, it is the oldest annual show taking place each year since 1897.40. What is the topic mainly about?41. What can be inferred about the early radio?42. What is the significant about the frontier days.45-46We’ve been looking at fear from biological perspective. And someone asked whether the tendency to be fearful is genetic. While some study done with mice indicate that mammals do inherit fearfulness to some degree. In one study for instance, a group of mice were placed in the bright lit open boxes with no hiding places. Some of the mice wondered around the box and didn’t appear to be bothered about being so exposed. But other mice didn’t move. They stayed up against one wall, wh ich indicate that they were afraid. Well, when fearful mice or you might say anxious mice like ones who stayed in one place. When mice like this were bred with one another repeatedly, after about 12 or so generations, then all of the offspring show similar signs of fearfulness. And even when the new born mouse from this generation was raised by a mother and with other mice who were not fearful, that mice still tend to be fearful as the result. Now, why is this? Well, it’s thought that the specific gene in a nimal body haveinfluenced on the anxious behavior. These genes that are associated with particular nerve cell receptors in brain. And the degree of overall fearfulness in the mammal seem to depend in the large part on the presence or absence of these nerve cell receptors. And this appears to apply to humans as well by the way. But while the tendency towards anxiety and fear may well be an inherited trait, but the specific form that the fear takes has more to do individual environment. So a particular fear like the fear of snakes or the fear of spider, say, is not genetic. But the overall tendency to have fearful responses is.43. What is the talk mainly about?44. How did some of the mice in the study demonstrated that they were afraid?45. According to the professor, what contribute to a mammal tendency to befearful?46. Why does the prof. mentions snakes and spiders?47-50One type of natural spring geographer is interested in is artesian spring. Hikingthrough the woods some of you are surprised to see water flowing from the opening in the ground. That will no more ever. That may be artesian spring. To help you understand why water might flow like this from underground, I’d like to explain two basicconditions that necessary for their formation. The first condition is that water mustbe contained in an aquifer(含水土层). An aquifer is an underground layer of rock sediment that has pores or holes in it. And this pores rock allows water to flow through it freely. The aquifer must be inclined so that the over the surface of the ground. Rain water enter this through exposed and traveled downward to the lower portion of the aquifer. The second condition is that above and below the aquifer there must be layer of pores or clay. Either called aquicludes(含水土层), and they block or hinder the flow of water. Aquicludes prevent water from drilling out of aquifers. So, let us go back to our artesian spring. There usually located above the ground near the lower and wind …… aquifer. A artesian spring are those places some hole crack stand from the ground surface, down through the Aquicludes and into the aquifer. Now the rain water that had drilled into the aquifer makes expose up end created pressure at the low end, so if there is crack in the rock, a crack that run from the aquifer to the surface, then the pressure pushes the water up through it. and water trickling out of the artesian spring.47. What is the topic mainly about?48. Why are the aquicludes important to the development of the artesianspring?49. According to the prof., how does water in the aquifer reach the ground surface?50. What does the prof. Say about the pressure?。

I really like your luggageIt looks nice but it hasn't held up well.What does the woman think about her luggage?Part CQ36-39( talk, nutrition)Last week I told you about how the body uses vitamin C and foods that contain vitamin C, such as citrus fruit & tomatoes. Now I want to discuss Vitamin D which is important to human nutrition because it helps the body to absorb Calcium. Calcium as you know is essential for maintaining heatyl bones & teeth. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to serious bone diseases. So in the United States it is added to milk, a staple food in most people's diet. Vitamin D is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin. That' s because the body requires sunlight in order to make use of it. Here's how it works: when ultraviolet rays from the sun strike the vitamin D in our SKIN, the sunlight converts vitamin D to its active form & a substance called calciferol is produced. Calciferol is what carries the calcium to our bones. If our bodies are not exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun we cannot convert vitamin D to it's active form, and thus cannot make use of any of the calcium that we have consumed in our food . Eventually we would suffer FROM A calciumdeficiency and have weak bones. Luckily it takes only 10 to 20 minutes of exposure to sunlight a day to ensure sufficient vitamin D production. Except in extremely atmospheric conditions like very heavy smog or a sunless climate, most people are able to get enough exposure to the sun. Doctors recommend that people who don't drink very much milk take vitamin supplements and that everyone spend at least 10 minutes in the sun everyday.36. Why is vitamin D important?37. In the United States, what is the main source of vitamin D for most people?38. What is necessary to convert vitamin D to it's active form?39. According to the speaker, what might happen to the people who stay in doors all the time?Q40 - 43 Conversation between two friendsHey! You got a new television.Yeah! It was delivered yesterday, what do you think of it?It's huge. It practically takes up the entire side of the room.I know. I know, you don't think it's, well, excessive, do you?I didn't say that. I mean, if you enjoy it, why not? What happened to your old TV, anyhow?It just stopped working last Friday. It was pretty old & didn't work well, I thought you can afford it, why not get a new one?It must've been expensive?Well, not as much as you might think. I got it on sale for 50% offReally? Where?At the stereo city on Route 20. You know at first I just wanted to replace what I had. A TV of about the same size & quality. But the salesman was pushing these because of the 50% off. Yeah. But 50% off what?2,400 dollars.You spent $ 1,200 on a TV?It's got a lot of special features. Look at this remote control.I'm sure. But that's still a lot of money for a television. I didn't think you watch TV that much. Well, I don't. Do you think I ought to return it? If I do it within a week of purchase, I can get my money back.Honestly, yes. And you know what, and I think you ought to read up on TV’s first and choose the make & model you want before you go to the store. That way you will get what you want.I think you are right.40. What is the main topic of the conversation?41. What does the woman suggest the man do?42. What will the man probably do as a result of the conversation?43. What is the man's attitude toward the television?Q44 - 47 Talk (astronomy discovery)As you begin your study of the heavens, you may feel that the odds of your making any impact on the field of astronomy are impossibly low. But in fact important breakthroughs can come from student work. You may have heard in the media that the examples of one of the most illusive objects in the cosmos the brown dwarf were found by a 27 - year - old student Clare Briadger. Scientists all over the world had been searching for more than 50 years and yet the discovery wasmade by someone still in graduate school. When Ms. Briadger presented a paper at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society, her talk was for me the highlight of the meeting. There was considerable agreement that what she had found was indeed the illusive Brown Dwarf. For those of you who don' t yet know, Brown Dwarfs are these gaseous bodies that are too large to be planets, but not massive enough to ignite into full - blown stars. While others spent their time studying what shows up big and bright in the heavens, Ms. Briadger searched for the small and faint. She spent about 2 years at a computer scanning and classifying pin- points of light within clusters of stars. She sometimes worked 100 hours in a single week. Then finally she was able to isolate a number of points that seemed to be actual Brown Dwarfs. Her discovery may help to explain how stars form and thus answer some of our questions about the ultimate of the universe.44.Whom is the speaker probably addressing?45.What does the speaker mean when she talks about making an impact on the field of astronomy?46.Who made the discovery that is being discussed?47.Why are Browfs Dwarves important?Q48 50 (Conversation)Hey, Sam! You should take a look at this article about Canadian scorpionI didn't know there were scorpions in Canada. I thought they only lived in deserts.Well, the deadly Kind do. Like in Arizona and New Mexico.I thought all scorpion were dangerous.No, only about 25 kinds are lethal to humans, Actually there are over 1,500 different species. But only one lives in Canada.Where in Canada? Not around here?Well, mostly Sakatchewan and Alberta. But yeah, right here in British Columbia too.Is the Canadian kind poisonous?Not for humans. Supposedly their sting is no worse than a bee's. Anyway scorpions are all over the place. They can live in just about any climate. In fact the only continent where they don't live is Antarctica.Why? Is it too cold there?There must be other reasons. Because according to this article scorpions can withstand conditions that'd probably kill most other animals. Scientists did all these Experiments, like the scorpion was frozen in a block of ice for 3 weeks and when they melted the ice, it just walked away.It was still alive?Yeah. But what's most amazing is that they also survived the radiation levels 200 times what would kill a human. No wonder they’ve outlived the dinosaurs.Listen. I've gotta run. But I really like a copy of that article.No problem. I'll make one for you.48. How did the woman learn about the scorpions?49. Where do the two students probably live?50. What did the scientists experiments show about the scorpion?。
