But I don' t understand where the money comes from.M: Well, a few days before the walkathon, each participant goes around asking people to pledge just a certain amount of money for each mile that he or she expects to walk in the event.

What will happen to the money raised at the walkathon''40. How much money has each of Joe's friends pledged to him?41-46M: Luc ia, I've been admiring that sculpture you have on your desk. It looks like a polar bear. W: That is right It is a polar bear. It was made out of soap stone by an Innuit artist from northern Canada. The dark grey stone is easy to carve, and lines which look almost white in contrast can be made with hand tools.M: I've seen other Innuit sculptures made from whale bone and wood. You can see by looking at this bear that the style seems quite abstract. And yet there is a realistic impression of the bear's shape and stance.W: Innuit sculptors usually do depict animals in just such a style. Their favorite subjects are the animals of northern Canada and Alaska, like polar bears, seals, caribou and whales. The Inuit hunt some of these animals for food.M: Yes, I know. But the polar bear is their favorite because of its size, strength and agility.W: That's true. They recognize it as one of the most graceful swimmers and fishers of all animals, and most important the polar bear symbolizes all the skills the Innuit hunters expect of themselves for survival.41. Where does this conversation probably take place?42. According to the conversation, in what part of Canada does the artist live?43 What kind of art object are the people looking at?44. How does the man describe the appearance of the object being discussed?45. Which animal do the Innuit people admire most?46. What does the Innuit favorite animal symbolize to them?47-50Today I would like to talk about the early days of movie making in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. Before the pioneering films of D.W. Griffiths, film makers were limited by several misguided conventions of the era According to one, the camera was always fixed at a view point corresponding to that of the spectator in the theatre, a position now, known as the long shot. It was another convention that the position of the camera never changed in the middle of a scene. In last week' s films, we saw how Graffith ignored both these limiting conventions and brought the camera closer to the actor. This shot, now known as a full shot, was considered revolutionary at the time. For love of Gold was the name of the film in which we saw the first use of the full shot. After progressing from the lone shot to the full shot, the next logical step for Griffiths was to bring in the camera still closer, in what is now called the close-up. The close-up had been used before though only rarely and merely as a visual stunt, as for example, in Edqaed Asport's "The Great Train Robbery", which was made in 1903. But not until 1908 in Griffith’s movie called "After Many Years" was the dramatic potential of the close-up first exploited. In thescene from "After Many Years" that we are about to see, pay special attention to the close-up of Annie Lee's worried face as she awaits her husband's return. In 1908, this close-up shocked everyone in the Biogress Studio. But Griffiths had no time for argument. He had another surprise even more radical to offer. Immediately following the close up of Annie, he inserted a picture of the object of her thoughts, her husband casting away on a desert isle. This cutting from one scene to another without finishing either of them brought a torrent of criticism on the experimenter.47. What kind of motion picture camera shos were generally used in the early films?48. What occupation did Edqaed Asport probably have?49 When was "After Many Years" produced?50. Why was the close-up of Annie Lee followed by a shot of Annie's husband?。

Or was an area once under water? If so, when? How should u go about it?W: I'd start with stratigraphy（地层学）.M: could u explain what that is to the class?W: well, stratigraphy is the description of strata（地层，stratum的复数） in sedimentary rock. I guess that's not so clear, huh? Ok, let's say one of theinvestigators spot near a river, for example. well, over the history of the area, every time the river flooded, it would deposit a layer of sediment all through with floodplain(泛滥平原). Sometimes a bigger layer, sometimes a smaller, depending on the size of the flood. Well, one layer or stratum gets deposited over another. Obviously these strata built up over millions of years. Stratigraphy is the study of these layers of deposited settlement.M: so does that mean if i examine each of these strata,i can tell how long ago each one is deposited?W: not necessarily. You see, there might've been some years when the river didn't flood and no settlement was deposited. You need other kinds of evidence to tell how much time might've gone by between when one layer got deposited and one on top of it got deposited.M: and what are those other kinds of evidence u are talking about?W: well, fossils for one. You can determine exactly how old a fossil is and that's how u can tell how the rock surrounding it is.M: very good. The discovery of that particular techniqueis an interesting story. It was a man named William Smith who first used fossils for the purpose of dating strata back in the 1800s.let's take a look at how he went about making this geological breakthrough.36 what is the discussion mainly about?37 what does the woman explain when she talks about rivers?38 according to the discussion, why are geologists unable to determine thegeological age of an area by studying sediment deposit alone?39 what will the class probably discuss next?Part CQuestion 40 through 43(这篇文章Gter的笔记有缺失) Recently some anthropologist conducted an interesting case study in ethnology. now ethnology(人种学)as u recall is a branch of anthropology that deal with how various cultures developed change. The study was about the development of basket weaving by African-american women who live in the town of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The town is known for its high quality sweet grass baskets which are woven bye these women. They've been weaving the baskets for generations, handing down the skill from mother to daughter. Some of the baskets have been place on permanent display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. the origin of their basket weaving dates back to the 17th century and even earlier when these women's ancestors came to the United States from the west coast of Africa. Now, it's mainly a hobby. But back in the 17th and 18th century African and American women wove the baskets for use on therice plantations. There were two types of baskets then: workbaskets and baskets for use in the home. The workbaskets were made out of bulrushes(芦苇). Bulrushes are long tough grass that grow in marshes. One type ofworkbaskets was fan basketwhich was used to separate the grain of rice from waste. The baskets used in the home were made out of the more delicate sweet grass. They were used for everything from fruit baskets to baby cradles.40 what is the talk mainly about?41 how did the women mentioned in the talk learn to wave basket?42 according to the speaker, what type of baskets was make out of bulrush?43 what is the main reason that the women in South Carolina now weave baskets?Questions 44 through 46:This morning I want to tell u about a recent scientific discovery dealing with the relation between plants and animals. this is about a desert shrub whose leaves can shoot a stream of poisonous resin（树脂）a distance of six feet. You think it will be safe from all attacks by insects. But a recent study has found one insect, a beetle, that can chew its way past the plant's defense system by cutting the main vein that delivers the poison to the leaves. This vein cutting is jut one method the beetles used to prepare a safe meal. Another is by cutting a pathall the way across the leave to hold the flow of chemicals. Then they simply eat between the veins of poison. In the past, scientists who studied inset adaptation to plant defenses have focused on chemical responses. That is, how the insects can neutralize or alter the poisonous substances plants produce. what's unique about this chewing strategy is that the beetle is actually exhibiting a behavioral(行为的) response to the plant's defenses rather than the more common chemical response. It is only after a beetle's survived several encounters with the plant' resin that it learns how to avoid the poison: by chewing through the resin transporting veins on the next leaf it eats. And thus gives itself a meal. however, it can take a beetle an hours an a half of careful vein cutting to prepare a small leaf that takes it only a few minutes to eat. So, though the method is effective, it's not very efficient.41 what is the talk mainly about?42 what is unusual about the desert plant?43 how can the beetles avoid being poisoned by the plant?Questions 47 through 50:We're going to start our discussion of poetry in Western Europe with the Iliad and the Odyssey .these two great poems stand out as great examples of the earliest European poems. they are believed to have been written some time between 800BC and 700BC,partly because the poems refer to the social conditions of that time, conditions that have been validated（验证）by the findings of archeologists. but just who was the poet who laid down thesecornerstones(基石) of western literature? Well, tradition ascribles them to a man named Homer, but we know virtually nothing about this Homer. In fact, some say that such a poet never existed at all, that neither the Iliad nor the Odyssey was written by a single poet, but rather each poem is compositive of the writings of several people. This, anyway, is the view of a school of literary critics in the 18th century known as the Analysts. The Analysts pointed to internal evidence such as variations in the literary devices used in the poem to argue that each work was in fact a collection of several poems by several Greek authors. Opposing the analysts were a second group of scholars called the Unitarian. They insisted that the Iliad and the Odyssey could have been the work of single poetic genius. To support their argument, they stress among other things the consistency of the character portrayed in the poetry. This wouldn't have been possible, they said, if they were written by many different poets. Now how we look at the Homeric question today has been greatly influenced by someone named Milman Parry, an American scholar who first presented his ideas about Homer in the 1930s. So let's take a look at Parry's research and how it affects what modern day scholars think about Homer.47 what aspect of the Iliad and the Odyssey does the professor mainly discuss?48 according to the professor, what is one of the claims made by the analysts?49 According to the Unitarians, what is one type of evidence that a single poet could have written both the Iliad and the Odyssey?50 What will the professor probably talk about next?。

Or was an area once under water? If so,when? How should u go about it?W: I'd start with stratigraphy（地层学）.M:could u explain what that is to the class?W: well, stratigraphy is the description of strata（地层，stratum的复数） in sedimentary rock. I guess that's not so clear, huh? Ok, let's say one of theinvestigators spot near a river, for example. well, over the history of the area, every time the river flooded, it would deposit a layer of sediment all through with floodplain(泛滥平原). Sometimes a bigger layer, sometimes a smaller, depending on the size of the flood. Well, one layer or stratum gets deposited overanother. Obviously these strata built up over millions of years. Stratigraphy is the study of these layers of deposited settlement.M:so does that mean if i examine each of these strata,i can tell how long ago each one is deposited?W:not necessarily. You see,there might've been some years when the river didn't flood and no settlement was deposited. You need other kinds of evidence to tell how much time might've gone by between when one layer got deposited and one on top of it got deposited.M:and what are those other kinds of evidence u are talking about?W:well,fossils for one. You can determine exactly how olda fossil is and that's how u can tell how the rocksurrounding it is.M:very good. The discovery of that particular techniqueis an interesting story. It was a man named William Smith who first used fossils for the purpose of dating strata back in the 1800s.let's take a look at how he went about making this geological breakthrough.36 what is the discussionmainly about?37 what does the woman explain when she talks about rivers?38 according to the discussion,why are geologists unable to determine thegeological age of an area by studying sediment deposit alone?39 what will the class probably discuss next?Part CQuestion 40 through 43(这篇文章Gter的笔记有缺失) Recently some anthropologist conducted an interesting case study in ethnology. now ethnology(人种学)as u recall is a branch of anthropology that deal with how various cultures developed change. The study was about the development of basket weaving by African-american women who live in the town of Mount Pleasant,South Carolina. The town is known for its high quality sweet grass baskets which are woven bye these women. They've been weaving the baskets for generations,handing down the skill from mother to daughter. Some of the baskets have been place on permanent display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.the origin of their basket weaving dates back to the 17th century and even earlier when these women's ancestors came to the United States from the west coast of Africa. Now,it's mainly a hobby. But back in the 17th and 18th century African and American women wove the baskets foruse on the rice plantations. There were two types of baskets then:workbaskets and baskets for use in the home. The workbaskets were made out of bulrushes(芦苇). Bulrushes are long tough grass that grow in marshes. Onetype of workbaskets was fan basketwhich was used to separate the grain of rice from waste. The baskets used in the home were made out of the more delicate sweet grass. They were used for everything from fruit baskets to baby cradles.40 what is the talk mainly about?41 how did the women mentioned in the talk learn to wave basket?42 according to the speaker,what type of baskets was make out of bulrush?43 what is the main reason that the women in South Carolina now weavebaskets?Questions 44 through 46:This morning I want to tell u about a recent scientific discovery dealing with the relation between plants and animals. this is about a desert shrub whose leaves can shoot a stream of poisonous resin（树脂）a distance of six feet. You think it will be safe from all attacks by insects. But a recent study has found one insect,a beetle,that can chew its way past the plant's defense system by cutting the main vein that delivers the poison to the leaves. This vein cutting is jut one method the beetles used to prepare a safe meal. Another is by cuttinga path all the way across the leave to hold the flow of chemicals. Then they simply eat between the veins of poison. In the past,scientists who studied inset adaptation to plant defenses have focused on chemical responses. That is,how the insects can neutralize or alter the poisonous substances plants produce.what's unique about this chewing strategy is that the beetle is actually exhibiting a behavioral(行为的) response to the plant's defenses rather than the more common chemical response. It isonly after a beetle's survived several encounters with the plant' resin that it learns how to avoid the poison:by chewing through the resin transporting veins on the next leaf it eats. And thus gives itself ameal.however,it can take a beetle an hours an a half of careful vein cutting to prepare a small leaf that takes it only a few minutes to eat. So,though the method is effective,it's not very efficient.41 what is the talk mainly about?42 what is unusual about the desert plant?43 how can the beetles avoid being poisoned by the plant?Questions 47 through 50:We're going to start our discussion of poetry in Western Europe with the Iliad and the Odyssey.these two great poems stand out as great examples of the earliest European poems.they are believed to have been written some time between 800BC and 700BC,partly because the poems refer to the social conditions of that time, conditions that have been validated（验证）by the findings of archeologists. but justwho was the poet who laid down thesecornerstones(基石) of western literature? Well, tradition ascribles them to a man named Homer,but we know virtually nothing about this Homer.In fact,some say that such a poet never existed at all,that neither the Iliad nor the Odyssey was written by a single poet,but rather each poem is compositive of the writings of several people. This,anyway,is the view of a school of literary critics in the 18th century known as the Analysts. The Analysts pointed to internal evidence such as variations in the literary devices used in the poem to argue that each work was in fact a collection of several poems by severalGreek authors.Opposing the analysts were a second group of scholars called the Unitarian. They insisted that the Iliad and the Odyssey could have been the work of single poetic genius.To support their argument,they stress among other things the consistency of the character portrayed in the poetry. This wouldn't have been possible,they said,if they were written by many different poets. Now how we look at the Homeric question today has beengreatly influenced by someone named Milman Parry,an American scholar who first presented his ideas about Homer in the 1930s. So let's take a look at Parry's research and how it affects what modern day scholars think about Homer.47 what aspect of the Iliad and the Odyssey does the professor mainlydiscuss?48 according to the professor,what is one of the claims made by theanalysts?49 According to the Unitarians,what is one type of evidence that a singlepoet could have written both the Iliad and the Odyssey?50 What will the professor probably talk about next?放过一次违章作业，就为事故开一次绿灯。

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.

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.

What will occur at next Wednesday's class time?(A) A regular class will be given.(B) An optional review class will be given.(C) An exam will be given.(D) Class will be canceled.Question 42 to 46Today's lecture we'll center on the prehistoric（史前的）people of Nevada Desert. 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 had to go the dentist for emergency and I misse d 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 ocean’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 topic 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 t ypical pace for a participant?Between 12 and 30 kilometers per hour. Some cyclists stop along the way and don’t cross the finish line 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 on a gold chain, was to show ot hers 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?。

Listening ComprehensionSection One：Listening Comprehension听力原文：Listen to a conversation between a student (S) and an American history professor (P).S: Professor Farrington, may I ask a question about something you said in class yesterday?P: Sure.S: You mentioned that... about how Park City in Utah went from a boomtown in the 1800s to a ghost town and then became prospero us again. I was, well... that’s an interesting cycle, and..., well, perhaps it might be suitable topic for my research paper?P: Sure, that might make a good topic since similar things happened at other mining towns.S: So, comparing them might be interesting?P: Yeah, absolutely!S: So, what triggered the economic downturn in Park City?P: Well, in 1870 there were fewer than 200 people living in the Park City area. After silver was discovered there the population grew very quickly. I think it reached around 10,000 by 1900, but soon after that the silver that was close to the surface had all been mined, so they had to dig deeper and deeper, which reduced the profit margin not just because it’s time consuming, but going deeper led to problems with flooding. It’s t ime consuming and expensive to pump water out of mines. So, that was one major factor. I mean there were other factors that contributed too like the recession and a stock marketpanic in 1907. If you do write about this, you have to get into that.S: Ok, and it was what... tourism that brought it back again?P: Basically, yes. The ski industry kind of started about the same time in the 1920s. At first it was only a few folks hiking up to the top of the mountain and then skiing down. As the sportbecame popular, so did the mountains around Park City. By the 1960s, it was a major ski resort with thousands of skiers.S: And the same with the other abandoned mining towns?P: Well, some, but some became tourist attractions not because of skiing, but because people were interested in the history. Actually, one old mining town in the middle of the California desert... Bodie, that’s now a state park. It’s popular because the buildings have been preserved as they were in the 1940s.S: Wow! So, maybe I could choose a couple of towns that went through that whole cycle and talk about them in some depth as a way of illustrating the general boom and bust phenomenon... maybe find some first-hand accounts?P: Well, for this, sure, it’d be better to go into some depth about specific towns rather than talking about a lot of them in broad terms. Definitely give it a shot. But you probably won’t be able to find many diaries or personal accounts. Not many people who lived in mining towns could read or write, Oh, and also remember the impact of national events.S: Ok, that’s understandable, the local and the national. Thanks!。

the assumption that drama evolved from ritual. theargument for this view goes as follows. in the beginning, humanbeings viewed the natural forces of the world, even the seasonalchanges, as unpredictable, and they sought through variousmeans, to control these unknown and feared powers.those measures which appeared to bring the desired resultswere then retained and repeated until they hardened intofixedrituals. eventually stories arose which explained or veiled themysteries of the rites. as time passed some rituals wereabandoned, but the stories, later called myths, persisted andprovided material for art and drama.those who believe that drama evolved out of ritual alsoargue that those rites contained the seed of theater becausemusic, dance, masks, and costumes were almost always used.furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for performances,and when the entire community did not participate, aclear division was usually made between the "acting area" andthe "auditorium." in addition, there were performers, and since considerable importance was attached to avoiding mistakesin the enactment of rites, religious leaders usuallyassumedthat task. wearing masks and costumes, they oftenimpersonated other people, animals, or supernatural beings,and mimed the desired effect - success in hunt or battle, the coming rain, the revival of the sun - as an actormight. eventually such dramatic representations were separatedfrom religious activities.another theory traces the theater s origin from thehuman interest in storytelling. according to this view, tales (about the hunt, war, or other feats) are gradually elaborated,at first through the use of impersonation, action, anddialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each ofthe roles by a different

soldiers from both sides had to be demobilized,readjusted to civilian life, and reabsorbed by the devastatedeconomy. civil government also had to be put back on a peacetime basis and interference from the military had tobestopped.the desperate plight of the south has eclipsed the factthat reconstruction had to be undertaken also in the north,though less spectacularly. industries had to adjust to peacetimeconditions, factories had to be retooled for civilian needs.financial problems loomed large in both the north andthe south. the national debt had shot up from a modest $65million in 1861, the
