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 le cture. What was it on（演讲是关于什么方面的）?It was pretty interesting. She talked about volcanoes, active volcanoes, under the-uh-West Antarctic ice sheet（冰盾）.There are active volcanoes under the ice?Apparently（显然地）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 theworld.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（冰川）. This water allows ice to follow out into the ocean. So the solid interior ice is protected from the ocean’s warm.Does that make sense（有意义）?Sort of.（有点）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（不断地，经常地）being replaced by snow. Prof. Smith said that if the ice sheet ever broke up（断裂）and melted, the sea level would go up seven meters. Then we would have those floods（洪水）.Is that really possible? Or is it one of those exaggerations（夸张）you hear all the time.As far as（就…，到什么程度）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?(A) His lecture notes weren’t very good.(B) He didn’t understand the lecture.(C) He couldn’t atte nd the lecture.(D) His research was on the same topic as the lecture.32. What was the topic of the professor’s lecture?(A) Survival strategies for extreme Antarctic cold.(B) Why inactive volcanoes become active.(C) The principal causes of global warming.(D) The effects of volcanoes on the Antarctic ice sheet.33. What information confused（使…困惑，混淆）the man?(A) That a snow cover can cause ice to melt.(B) How heat can prevent ice from melting.(C) How water flows into the ocean.(D) Why volcanoes have a slippery surface.34. According to the woman, what protects the interior ice from the warmth of the ocean?(A) Melting ice.(B) Snowfall(C) Glaciers which serve as barriers.(D) Variations in temperature in Antarctica.Questions 35-38 Listen to a radio interview about cycling.（骑自行车运动）And now here is ou r guest Jane Thomas to tell us about Montreal’s famous yearly island bicycle tour which is coming up in June. Good morning, Jane. What’s the bike tour all about?Well, Peter, it’s an event that’s opened to anybody who’d like to ride a bicycle through the streets of Montreal. The tour covers a standard distance of 65 kilometers. But the route’s quite different every year. So even people who’ve already done it might enjoy doing 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（节奏）for a participant（参与者）?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（冲刺）.It’s not a race.I understand last year’s tour had 45,000 cyclists and it was the largest mass （群众）cycling event in the world. How many do you expect this year?The same as last year. And since we regularly（经常地）have so many participants, can I take this opportunity to remind our listeners to sign up early? We filled up（填补）quickly last year and we had to refused lots of applications（申请）.Before we close, any other tips for all prospective（可能的，预期的）cyclists? Yes, take water with you. It is available at the relay（n接力）station. But it helps to have an additional supply. And pack（n 背包v 背）a good lunch with plenty of fruit for energy. Candy and chocolate don’t do the trick（诀窍）.35. What is the main subject of the conversation?(A) How to increase one’s speed in a bicycle race.(B) Major Canadian bicycle races.(C) The contribution of cycling to health.(D) An annual cycling event.36. According to the woman, what is different every year?(A) The length of the course.(B) The route the cyclists take.(C) The number of participants.(D) The month in which the tour is held.37. What does the woman imply about the participants?(A) They are not competing with each other.(B) They have to pay a high fee.(C) They tend to be beginning cyclists.(D) Most of them fail to finish the route.38. What does the woman mention is provided at the relay station?(A) Chocolates.(B) Water(C) First aid.(D) Bicycle repair services.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 beforeyou 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（稀有的，罕见的）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（讨人喜欢的）clocks in the squares（广场）of European towns were built for the public.After all, most citizens simply couldn’t afford a personal timepiece（时钟）. 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（金链子）, was to show others how wealthy（富有的）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.（必需的，必不可少的）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（adv 相当）inexpensive. Furthermore（而且，此外）, 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?(A) Reasons for increased productivity.(B) How wristwatches are manufactured.(C) The industrialization of the United States.(D) The development of individual timepieces.40. What was true of watches before the 1850s?(A) They were common in the United States, but not in Europe.(B) Only a few people had them.(C) People considered them essential.(D) They were not very accurate.41. According to the speaker, why did some people wear watches in the1800s?(A) They were a sign of wealth.(B) It was important to be on time.(C) It was fashionable to wear them.(D) They were inexpensive.42. What effect did industrialization have on watch making?(A) Watches were of higher quality than ever before.(B) More clocks were manufactured than watches.(C) The availability of watches increased.(D) Watches became less important because factories had clocks.Questions 43-46 Listen to a guide in an aquarium.This room is devoted to（专心于，专注于）electric fish. The eel （鳗鱼）in the tank behind me can produce a strong jolt（颠簸，震动）of electricity to stun （使震惊）its prey（n被掠食者，受害者）. But most of the fish in here produce only weak electrical impulses（脉冲）that are useful for navigating, locating food and even for communicating.The knife fish is a good example. This fish navigates using tiny receptors（接收器）in the skin that are sensitive（敏感的）to electrical impulses. The knife fish produces an electrical signal and the receptors in its skin let it know when the signal is distorted（变形）by（通过）a tree root or other obstacle, so it can go around（绕过走）it.Fish also use the ability to produce and detective（探知，发现）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（配备）to convert the inaudible（听不见的）signals that fish produce into sounds you can hear when you put on（带上）these headphones. I urge（敦促，劝）you all to listen in when I’m done speaking. Now have a look at the electric rays（电子射线）. Rays are specially interesting to medical researchers because of the organs they use toproduce electricity. These organs contain a chemical that carries signals from one nerve ending（神经末梢）to the next, not only in rays but also in people. By studying these organs, scientists hope to learn more about diseases that interrupt（中断）the transmission of impulses from one nerve to another.43. What is the talk main about?(A) The difficulty of breeding electric fish.(B) The medical importance of electric fish.(C) How certain fish use electricity.(D) How fish navigate.44. What does the knife fish use electricity for?(A) To destroy tree roots.(B) To digest its food.(C) To protect its territory.(D) To find its way.45. Why does the speaker suggest putting on headphones?(A) To hear a translation of her talk.(B) To hear signals produced by electric fish.(C) To hear sounds used to train electric fish.(D) To hear a tape about electric fish.46. According to the speaker, what medical benefits might result from studying electrical rays?(A) Improved understanding of diseases of the nervous system.(B) Improved understanding of a type of malnutrition.(C) Improved understanding of some types of bone disease.(D) improved understanding of disease of the internal organs.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（流行，名望）. Most of the ballet dancers who performed in the United States were brought overfrom Europe. They performed using the rigid（死板的）techniques that had been passed down through the centuries. Audiences and dancers in the United States were eager（渴望的）for their own contemporary（同时代的）dance form. And so around 1900, dancers created one. So how was this modern dance so different from classical ballet?Almost notably（显著地）,it wasn’t carefully choreographed（精心编舞）. Instead（相反）, the dance depended on the improvisation （即席创作）and free personal expression of the dancers. Music and scenery（舞台布景）were of little importance to the modern dance. And lightness（照明度）of movement wasn’t important either. In fact, modern dancers make no attempt at all to conceal （掩盖）the effort involved in the dance step.But even if improvisation appealed to（对…有吸引力）audiences, many dance critics（评论家，批评家）were lest enthusiastic（极热情的）about the performances. They questioned（怀疑）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（越来越圆）like an eggbeater （打蛋器，直升机）. 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?(A) The origins and characteristics of modern dance.(B) The influence of modern dance on ballet.(C) Pioneer modern dancers.(D) The training of modern dance choreographers.48. Why were ballet performances unpopular in the United Stated in the early 1900s?(A) They were created in Europe.(B) They were conventional.(C) The theaters were crowded.(D) The tickets were overpriced.49. What is the distinguishing feature of modern dance performances?(A) Lightness of movement.(B) Elaborate scenery.(C) Free expression.(D) Rigid choreography.50. Why were early modern dancers criticized（批评）by dance critics?(A) They performed mainly in Europe.(B) They imitated the techniques of ballet.(C) They performed to classical music.(D) They weren’t formally trained.。

A recent controversy as to whether labels on prepared foods should educate or merely inform the consumer is over, and a consumer group got its way.最近，一个关于预制食品上的标签是否教育还是仅仅告知消费者的争论结束了，并且一个消费者群体最终得偿所愿。

The group had maintained that product labels should do more than simply list how many grams of nutrients a food contains.这个群体主张产品标签应当比仅仅列出一种食品包含了多少克营养物做的更多。

Their contention was that labels should also list thepercentage of a day's total nutrients that the product will supply to the consumer, because this information is essential in planning a healthy diet.他们的论点是标签应当也列出该产品将会供给消费者的一天的总营养物的百分比，因为这个信息在计划一个健康饮食上是必要的。

We’ll be seeing much of his work today. Wood was born in 1881 in Iowa farm country, and became interested in art very early in life. Although he studied art in both Minneapolis and at the Art Institute of Chicago, the strongest influences on his art were European. He spent time in both Germany and France and his study there helped shape his own stylized form of realism. When he returned to Iowa, Wood applied the stylistic realism he had learned in Europe to the rural life he saw around him and that he remembered from his childhood around the turn of the century. His portraits of farm families imitate the static formalism of photographs of early settlers posed in front of their homes. His paintings of farmers at work, and of their tools and animals, demonstrate a serious respect for the life of the Midwestern United States. By the 1930's, Wood was a leading figure of the school of art called "American regionalism." In an effort to sustain a strong Midwestern artistic movement, Wood established an institute of Midwestern art in his home state. Although the institute failed, the paintings you are about to see preserve Wood's vision of pioneer farmers....以上就是整理的“老托福听力93篇下载(文本+翻译)”，希望通过这些听力真题的练习，能够帮助大家更好的来备考托福考试 !相关字搜索：老托福听力93篇。

You education majors might be especially interested in it it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English. You'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors—he'll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service and you'll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you'd like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge's office this week.【生词摘录】ponent: n.［C］one of several parts that together make up a wholemachine or system （机器或系统的）零件；成分；组成部分2.tutor: n. ［C］someone who teaches one pupil or a small group, and isdirectly paid by them 家庭教师，私人教师v. to teach someone as a tutor 给…当家庭教师；指导3.mentor: n. ［C］an experienced person who advises and helps a lessexperienced person 顾问，指导人，教练I hope you've all finished reading the assigned chapter on insurance so that you're prepared for our discussion today. But, before we start, I'd like to mention a few things your text doesn't go into. It's interesting to note that insurance has existed in some form for a very long time. The earliest insurance policies were what we called bottomry contracts. They provided shipping protection for merchants as far back as 3000 B.C. In general, the contracts were often no more than verbal agreements. They granted loans to merchants with the understanding that if a particular shipment of goods was lost at sea, the loan didn't have to be repaid. Interest on the loans varied according to how risky it was to transport the goods. During periods of heavy piracy at sea, for example, the amount of interest and the cost of the policy went up considerably. So, you can see how insurance helped encourage international trade. Even the most cautious merchants became willing to risk shipping their goods over long distances, not to mention in hazardous weather conditions when they had this kind of protection available. Generally speaking, the basic form of an insurance policy has been pretty much the same since the Middle Ages. There are four points that were salient then and remain paramount in all policies today. These were outlined in chapter six and will serve as the basis for the rest of today's discussion. Can anyone tell me what one of those points might be? 【生词摘录】1.insurance: n. ［U］an arrangement with a company in which you pay themmoney each year and they pay the costs if anything bad happens to you, such as an illness or an accident 保险；the money that you pay regularly to an insurance company 保险费；the business of providing insurance 保险业2.bottomry: n. 船舶抵押契约（如船舶损失，则债务取消），冒险借贷3.contract: n. ［C］a formal written agreement between two or more people,which says what each person must do for the other 契约；合同4.loan: n. ［C］an amount of money that you borrow from a bank etc （银行等的）贷款5.understanding: n. ［C usually singular］a private, unofficial agreement（私底下、非正式的）协议，协定6.interest: n. ［U］a charge made for borrowing money（借贷的）利息［+on］7.piracy: n. the crime of attacking and stealing from ships at sea 海上抢劫，海盗行为8.cautious: adj. careful to avoid danger or risks 小心的，谨慎的，慎重的9.hazardous: adj. 危险的10.s alient: adj. formal the salient points or features of something are the mostimportant or most noticeable parts of it 【正式】显著的，突出的11.p aramount: adj. more important than anything else 至高无上的，最重要的Located at the NASA Research Center in Iowa is a 5,000-gallon vat of water, and inside the tank is an underwater treadmill designed by Dava Newman, an aerospace engineer. For four years Newman observed scuba divers as they simulated walking on the Moon and on Mars on her underwater moving belt. She wanted to discover how the gravity of the Moon and of Mars would affect human movement. To do this, Newman attached weights to the divers and then lowered them into the tank and onto the treadmill. These weights were carefully adjusted so that the divers could experience underwater the gravity of the Moon and of Mars as they walked on the treadmill. Newman concluded that walking on Mars will probably be easier than walking on the Moon. The Moon has less gravity than Mars does, so at lunar gravity, the divers struggled to keep their balance and walked awkwardly. But at Martian gravity, the divers had greater traction and stability and could easily adjust to a pace of 1.5 miles per hour. As Newman gradually increased the speed of the treadmill, the divers took longer, graceful strides until they comfortably settled into an even quicker pace. Newman also noted that at Martian gravity, the divers needed less oxygen. The data Newman collected will help in the future design of Martian space suits. Compared to lunar space suits, Martian space suits will require smaller air tanks; and, to allow for freer movement, the elbow and knee areas of the space suits will also be altered.【生词摘录】1.gallon: n.

The Everglades is a watery plain covered with saw grass that's home to numerous species of plants and wildlife. At one and a half million acres, it's too big to see it all today, but this tour will offer you a good sampling. Our tour bus will stop first at Taylor Slough. This is a good place to start because it's home to many of the plants and animals typically associated with the Everglades. You'll see many exotic birds and, of course, our world famous alligators. Don't worry, there's a boardwalk that goes across the marsh, so you can look down at the animals in the water from a safe distance. The boardwalk is high enough to give you a great view of the saw grass prairie. From there we'll head to some other marshy and even jungle like areas that feature wonderful tropical plant life. For those of you who'd like a closer view of the saw grass prairie, you might consider renting a canoe sometime during your visit here. However, don't do this unless you have a very good sense of direction and can negotiate your way through tall grass. We'd hate to have to come looking for you. You have the good fortune of being here in the winter—the best time of year to visit. During the spring and summer, the mosquitoes will just about eat you alive! Right now they're not so bothersome, but you'll still want to use an insect repellent.【生词摘录】1.Everglades National Park: 大沼泽地国家公园2.saw grass: 克拉莎草；加州砖子苗3.acre: n. ［C］a unit for measuring area, equal to 4,047 square metres 英亩4.sampling: n. items selected at random from a population and used to testhypotheses about the population 取样，抽样，采样5.exotic: adj. approving seeming unusual and exciting because of beingconnected with a foreign country 【褒义】异国风情的，外国情调的：exotic birds 外国的奇异鸟类6.alligator: n. ［C］a large animal with a long mouth and sharp teeth that liesin the hot wet parts of the US and China 短吻鳄7.boardwalk: n. ［C］AmE a raised path made of wood, usually built next tothe sea【美】（常在海滨）用木板铺成的小道8.prairie: n. ［C］a wide open area of land in North America which is coveredin grass or wheat（北美洲的）大草原9.canoe: n. ［C］a long light boat that is pointed at both ends and which youmove along using a paddle 独木舟，小划子10.n egotiate: v. <口> 成功通过，顺利越过11.m osquito: n. ［C］a small flying insect that sucks the blood of people andanimals 蚊子12.r epellent: n. ［C,U］a substance that keeps insects away 驱虫剂Thank you. It's great to see so many of you interested in this series on "Survival in Outer Space." Please excuse the cameras; we're being videotaped for the local TV stations. Tonight I'm going to talk about the most basic aspect of survival—the space suit. When most of you imagine an astronaut, that's probably the first thing that comes to mind, right? Well, without space suits, it would not be possible for us to survive in space. For example, outer space is a vacuum—there's no gravity or air pressure; without protection, a body would explode. What's more, we'd cook in the sun or freeze in the shade with temperatures ranging from a toasty 300 degrees above to a cool 300 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The space suit that NASA has developed is truly a marvel. This photo enlargement here is a life-size image of an actual space suit worn by astronauts on the last space shuttle mission. This part is the torso. It’s made of seven extremely durable layers. This thick insulation protects against temperature extremes and radiation. Next is what they call a "bladder" of oxygen that's an inflatable sac, filled with oxygen, to simulate atmospheric pressure. This bladder presses against the body with the same force as the Earth's atmosphere at sea level. The innermost layers provide liquid cooling and ventilation. Despite all the layers, the suit is flexible, allowing free movement so we can work. Another really sophisticated part of the space suit is the helmet. I brought one along to show you. Can I have a volunteer come and demonstrate?【生词摘录】1.videotape: v. to record a television programme, film etc on a videotape 把（电视节目、电影等）录在录像（磁）带上2.vacuum: n. ［C］a space that is completely empty of all gas, especially onefrom which all the air has been taken away 真空3.shade: n. ［U］slight darkness or shelter from the direct light of the sunmade by something blocking it 荫，背阴处4.toasty: adj.

My name is Pam Jones, and on behalf of the Modern Dance club, I'd like to welcome you to tonight's program. The club is pleased to present the TV version of The Catherine Wheel, Twyla Tharp's rock ballet. This video version of the ballet has been even more successful with audiences than the original theater production. It includes some animation, slow motion, and stop-action freezes that really help the audience understand the dance. The title of the piece refers to Saint Catherine, who died on a wheel in 307 A.D. Nowadays, a Catherine wheel is also a kind of firework. It looks something like a pinwheel. Anyway, the dance is certainly full of fireworks! You'll see how Twyla Tharp explores one family's attempt to confront the violence in modern life. The central symbol of the work is a pineapple, but exactly what it represents has always created a lot of controversy. As you watch, see if you can figure it out. The music for this piece is full of the rhythmic energy of rock music. It was composed by David Byrne. Of the rock band Talking Heads? And the lead dancer in this version was Sara Rudner, who is perfectly suited to Tharp's adventurous choreography. Following the video, dance teacher Mary Parker will lead a discussion about the symbolism Ms. Tharp used. We hope you can stay for that. So, enjoy tonight's video and thank you for your support. 【生词摘录】1.present: v. to give a performance in a theatre, cinema, etc, or broadcast aprogramme on television or radio 上演；演出；表演；播出（电视或广播节目）2.ballet: n. ［C］a performance in which a special style of dancing and musictell a story without any speaking 芭蕾舞剧；芭蕾舞曲3.animation: n. ［U］the process of making animated films 动物片的制作4.wheel: n. ［C］one of the round things under a car, bus, bicycle etc that turnwhen it moves （汽车、公共汽车、自行车等的）车轮5.firework: n. ［C usually plural］a small container filled with powder thatburns or explodes to produce coloured lights, noise, and smoke 烟火，烟花，焰火6.pinwheel: n. ［C］a toy consisting of a stick with curved pieces of plastic atthe end that turn around when they are blown 玩具风车（windmill, BrE）7.pineapple: n. ［C,U］a large yellow-brown tropical fruit or its sweet juicyyellow flesh 菠萝，凤梨8.controversy: n. ［C,U］a serious argument or disagreement, especiallyabout something such as a plan or decision, that continues for a long time 争论；辩论；争议9.rhythmic: 又作rhythmical, adj. having rhythm 有节奏的10.a dventurous: adj. 又作adventuresome, AmE【美】eager to go to newplaces and do exciting or dangerous things 喜欢冒险的，有冒险精神的；not afraid of taking risks or trying new things 敢作敢为的，大胆创新的11.c horeography: n. ［U］the art of arranging how dancers should move duringa performance 编舞（艺术）；舞蹈设计12.s ymbolism: n. ［U］the use of symbols to represent something 象征主义（手法）7In our lab today, we'll be testing the hypothesis that babies can count as early as five months of age. The six babies here are all less than six months old. You'll be watching them on closed circuit TV and measuring their responses. The experiment is based on the well-established observation that babies stare longer if they don't see what they expect to see. First, we're going to let two dolls move slowly in front of the babies. The babies will see the two dolls disappear behind a screen. Your job is to record, in seconds, how long the babies stare at the dolls when the screen is removed. In the next stage, two dolls will again move in front of the babies and disappear. But then a third doll will follow. When the screen is removed, the babies will only see two dolls. If we're right, the babies will now stare longer because they expect three dolls but only see two. It seems remarkable to think that such young children can count. My own research has convinced me that they have this ability from birth. But whether they do or not, perhaps we should raise another question. Should we take advantage of this ability by teaching children mathematics at such a young age? They have great untapped potential, but is it good for parents to pressure young children?【生词摘录】1.hypothesis: n. plural hypotheses,［C］an idea that is suggested as a possibleway of explaining a situation, proving an idea etc, which has not yet been shown to be true 假设，假说2.closed circuit television (TV): a system in which cameras send picturesto television sets that is used in many public buildings to protect them from crime 闭路电视3.well-established: adj. established for a long time and respected 历史悠久且享有盛誉的4.untapped: adj. an untapped resource, market etc has not yet been used（资源、市场等）未开发的；未利用的Before starting our tour of Monticello, I'd like to give you some historical facts that might help you appreciate what you see today even more. Monticello was the very much loved home of Thomas Jefferson for over fifty years. Jefferson, who was, of course, President, was also a great reader and language enthusiast. He read widely on different subjects, including architecture. He wasn't formally trained in architecture, but as a result of his study and observation of other buildings, he was able to help design and build the house. He chose the site himself, naming the estate "Monticello," which means "little mountain" in Italian. In fact, many of the ideas behind the design also came from the Italian architect Andrea Palladio, who lived in the sixteenth century and who had a great influence on the architecture of England. Jefferson, however, ignored one of Palladio's principles, that is, not to build in a high place. Monticello's elevation made the transportation of what was needed at the house—for example, food—especially difficult. But the view from the estate would not be as spectacular if Jefferson had followed Palladio's advice; there really is no boundary between the house and the nature around it, and so Jefferson was able to look out on his beloved state of Virginia from his wonderful vantage point. Now we'll go on to Jefferson's library.【生词摘录】1.Monticello: 蒙提切娄2.appreciate: v. to understand how good or useful someone or something is欣赏，赏识，鉴赏3.enthusiast: n. ［C］someone who is very interested in a particular activityor subject 热衷于…的人4.estate: n. ［C］a large area of land in the country, usually with one largehouse on it and one owner （在乡村附有宅地的）一大片私有土地，庄园5.elevation: n. ［singular］a height above the level of the sea 海拔6.spectacular: adj. very impressive and exciting 壮观的，精彩的，引人注目的7.vantage point: a good position from which you can see something （能观察某物的）有利位置Now that we've all introduced ourselves to the new members, let's get down to work. As the committee in charge of this year's tree-planting project, we have several items on our agenda. First, we have to review the budget. The president has informed me that the trustees have set aside $3,000 for the purchase of trees and our environmental T-shirt sale netted a profit of $1,500. Second, we have to finalize the choice of trees. As you know, we're working with Richardson's Nursery again this year since everyone seemed pleased with the work he did for us last year. Mr. Richardson has presented us with several choices within our price range that he thinks would meet our needs. He's sent us pictures of the trees for us to look at, but he wanted me to tell you that we're welcome to visit the nursery if we want to see the trees themselves. Lastly, we need to plan some kind of ceremony to commemorate the planting. Several ideas, including a garden party of some sort, have been suggested. So let's get on with it and turn to the first order of business.【生词摘录】1.item: n. ［C］a single thing, especially part of a list, group, or set （尤指清单上、一群或一组事物中的）一项；一件；一条2.trustee: n. ［C］a member of a group that controls the money of a company,college, or other organization（公司、学院等的）理事，董事会成员: v. especially AmE to earn a particular amount of money as a profit aftertax has been paid 【尤美】获得净收入，净赚4.finalize: v. to finish the last part of a plan, business deal etc 使（计划、交易等）确定，最后定下5.nursery: n. ［C］a place where plants and trees are grown and sold 苗圃（garden center, BrE）Welcome to the Four Winds Historical Farm, where traditions of the past are preserved for visitors like you. Today, our master thatchers will begin giving this barn behind me a sturdy thatched roof, able to withstand heavy winds and last up to a hundred years. How do they do it? Well, in a nutshell, thatching involves covering the beams or rafters, the wooden skeleton of a roof with reeds or straw. Our thatchers here have harvested their own natural materials for the job, the bundles of water reeds you see lying over there beside the barn. Thatching is certainly uncommon in the Untied States today. I guess that's why so many of you have come to see this demonstration. But it wasn't always that way. In the seventeenth century, the colonists here thatched their roofs with reeds and straw, just as they had done in England. After a while, though, they began to replace the thatch with wooden shingles because wood was so plentiful. And eventually, other roofing materials like stone, slate, and clay tiles came into use. It's a real shame that most people today don't realize how strong and long lasting a thatched roof is. In Ireland, where thatching is still practiced, the roofs can survive winds of up to one hundred ten miles per hour. That's because straw and reeds are so flexible. They bend but don't break in the wind like other materials can. Another advantage is that the roofs keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And then, of course, there's the roofs' longevity—the average is sixty years, but they can last up to a hundred. With all these reasons to start thatching roofs again, wouldn't it be wonderful to see this disappearing craft return to popularity?【生词摘录】1.thatcher: n. ［C］someone skilled in making a roof from plant stalks orfoliage 盖屋顶者2.barn: n. ［C］a large farm building for storing crops, or for keeping animalsin 谷仓，粮秣房，仓库，牲口棚；informal a large, plain building 【非正式】空荡荡的大房子3.withstand: v. to be strong enough to remain unharmed by something suchas great heat or cold, great pressure etc 耐得住，承受住（酷热、严寒、高压等）4.in a nutshell: spoken used when you are stating the main facts aboutsomething in a short, clear way 【口】一言以蔽之，简括地说，用一句话概括5.beam: n. ［C］a long heavy piece of wood or metal used in building houses,bridges etc 梁，横梁6.rafter: n. ［C usually plural］one of the large sloping pieces of wood that formthe structure of a roof 椽7.skeleton: n. ［C］the most important parts of something, to which moredetail can be added later 骨架，框架；梗概，纲要8.reed: n. ［C］a type of tall plant like grass that grows in wet places 芦苇9.straw: n. ［U］the dried stems of wheat or similar plants that are used foranimals to sleep on, and for making things such as baskets, mats etc 秸秆（如麦秆等）10.c olonist: n. ［C］someone who settles in a new colony 开拓殖民地的居民，拓殖者11.s hingle: n. ［C］one of many small thin pieces of building materials,especially wood, used to cover a roof or wall（覆盖屋顶或墙用的）木瓦；屋面板；墙面板12.s late: n. ［U］a dark grey rock that can easily be split into flat thin pieces 板岩，板石13.c lay: n. ［U］heavy sticky soil that can be used for making pots, bricks etc黏土14.t ile: n. ［C］a flat square piece of baked clay or other material, used forcovering roofs, floors etc（屋顶、地板等上用的）瓷砖，地砖15.l ongevity: n. ［U］formal long life 【正式】长寿；technical the length of aperson or animal’s life【术语】（人或动物的）寿命A lot of people in the United States are coffee drinkers. Over the last few years, a trend has been developing to introduce premium, specially blended coffees, known as "gourmet coffees" into the American market. Boston seems to have been the birthplace of this trend. In fact, major gourmet coffee merchants from other cities like Seattle and San Francisco came to Boston, where today they're engaged in a kind of "coffee war" with Boston's merchants. They are all competing for a significant share of the gourmet coffee market. Surprisingly, the competition among these leading gourmet coffee businesses will not hurt any of them. Experts predict that the gourmet coffee market in the United States is growing and will continue to grow, to the point that gourmet coffee will soon capture half of what is now a 1.5-million-dollar market and will be an 8-million-dollar market by 1999. Studies have shown that coffee drinkers who convert to gourmet coffee seldom go back to the regular brands found in supermarkets. As a result, these brands will be the real losers in the gourmet coffee competition.【生词摘录】1.premium: adj. of high quality 高级的，优质的2.blended: adj. combined or mixed together so that the constituent parts areindistinguishable 混合的3.gourmet: n. ［C］someone who knows a lot about food and wine and whoenjoys good food and wine 美食家4.birthplace: n. ［C usually singular］the place where someone was born,especially someone famous （尤指名人的）出生地；the place where something first started to happen or exist 发源地，发祥地You may remember that a few weeks ago we discussed the question of what photography is. Is it art, or is it a method of reproducing images? Do photographs belong in museums or just in our homes? Today I want to talk about a person who tried to make his professional life an answer to such questions. Alfred Stieglitz went from the United States to Germany to study engineering. While he was there, he became interested in photography and began to experiment with his camera. He took pictures under conditions that most photographers considered too difficult. He took them at night, in the rain, and of people and objects reflected in windows. When he returned to the United States he continued these revolutionary efforts. Stieglitz was the first person to photograph skyscrapers, clouds, and views from an airplane. What Stieglitz was trying to do in these photographs was what he tried to do throughout his life: make photography an art. He felt that photography could be just as good a form of self-expression as painting or drawing. For Stieglitz, his camera was his brush. While many photographers of the late 1800's and early 1900's thought of their work as a reproduction of identical images, Stieglitz saw his as a creative art form. He understood the power of the camera to capture the moment. In fact, he never retouched his prints or made copies of them. If he were in this classroom today, I'm sure he'd say, "Well, painters don't normally make extra copies of their paintings, do they?"【生词摘录】1.experiment: v. to try various ideas, methods etc to see whether they willwork or what effect they will have 试验；试用2.skyscraper: n. ［C］a very tall modern city building 摩天大楼3.identical: adj. exactly the same 完全相同的［+to］4.capture: v. to succeed in showing or describing a situation or feeling usingwords or pictures（用语言或图片）记录下5.retouch: v. to improve a picture or photograph by painting over marks ormaking other small changes描绘，润色（图画、照片）。

The windows are nice so they shut off the noise really well. The street’s just outside, but I can barely hear the traffic.W: Um, they must be good windows, I bet they must have double panes and glass; they shut off a lot o f noise that the single pane wouldn’t stop.M: Yeah, I wish I had something just the factor between me and my neighbor’s room. Sometimes he turns up the music so loud that I have trouble getting into sleep. Anyway I guess I’m better off than the people who’ll be moving into the new dorms. Did you see how thin the walls are that they putting up between those rooms?W: I haven’t seen them but I did read something about them in the campus newspaper. They are supposed to be better than the thick concrete wa ll you’ve got here.M: Better? How?W: Well, what they doing is separating each room with 2 thin layer of plasterboards and each one is nailed to a different frame. That way they vibrate independently.M: Oh, I see, so the sound from one room doesn’t just vibrate the wall and go directly into next room. There is a gap between 2 layers of wall.W: That’s right.M: Well, I’m still stuck with this neighbor and I am not sure what to do.W: You know heavy bear wall doesn’t help. You should hang somet hing up like some fur rags or some decorated cross. That would act like a kind of a second wall and absorb some sound. I got some extras you can use, people hey.M: I’d appreciate it; anything to get a good night sleep.第二篇W: Can I help you find something? Oh, hi, Rick!M: Oh, hi, Julie. When did you start working here? I thought you were waiting tables in Teresa’s café.W: Yeah, I quitted, because I had to work too many nights. I started here just a few days ago. It’s perfect! I work all aftern oon shift. So my mornings are free for classes, and I can study at night. So what are you looking for?M: Well, I can’t seem to find the 8th book for English 626. I only found these seven. I’m probably looking right at itW: Um…English 626…English 626… Are you sure they are 8?M: Yeah, they are 8 titles on my syllabus. And look, the card on the shelf had eight listed. But I can only find seven of the books.W: You are right. Oh, here they are. They are on the wrong shelves over here by economics books.I’ll have to put these into the English books so they are not so hard to find.M: Thanks a lot. Can you point me the direction of the computer paper?W: Sure, it’s… 2 or 3 aisles over. Why don’t you follow me? It’s easier just to show you.第三篇选课M: Janet! Nice to see you again. Ready to plan you schedule for next semester?W: Yeah, I’ve already looked at the list of classes. And I hope to take business law and intro tofinance this coming semester.M: That sounds good. And it is always best plans the courses in your major first and then fit out the requirements on the electives then.W: I like to take one other business course, but I am not sure which one?M: How are about an economics course?W: I took one this past semester and got a lot out of it.M: Oh, that’s right I remember you telling me about it. Well, let’s see what else you need? W: I need another English course and was thinking about taking a poetry class.M: Let me see, the prerequisite for all the poetry classes is the English composition.W: I took that my first semester.M: Well, modern American poetry fits in your scheduleW: With Doctor Turner?M: Um-huh…W: That’ll be great! I heard all about her from my roommate, the English major.M: This should up tobe a pretty good semester for you, what else do you need to take?W: I have to take one more math course but I have been putting it at all. I heard that calculus isreally tough.M: It is! But you may want to take it and just take these four courses this semester.W: That’s not a bad idea! I just hope it doesn’t affect my grade point average!第四篇学生抗议食堂W: Excuse me. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?M: No I guess not.M: Great! This is for a student council report; we want to find out what students think the campus food service the results would tell us what kind of changes to push for.M: I think everyone has pretty strong opinions about that.W: Yeah, that’s one thing I found out already. Ok, first how often do you eat in the caf eteria? M: Almost everyday, I’ve got a meal contract.W: And do you usually eat here at Anderson hall.M: Yeah, I live next door.W: And you mention that you have a meal contract, is that right?M: Uh-huh! For breakfast and dinner, Monday to Saturday.W: What’s your general impression of the food here?M: Well, people complain a lot, but basically I think it’s ok. The vegetables are usually overcooked, but I mean they had to feed hundreds of people here. You are not going to get something freshly prepared just for you.W: What if I just put down generally satisfactory, would like more fresh vegetables, ok?M: Sure.W: So you think the other things like soup and dessert’s okay?M: Yeah, that’s about right.W: Is there anything you like to change about the cafeteria?M: Yes, the hours. Sometimes it’s a real rush for me to get back here before 6:30.第五篇学习问题★W: Excuse me! I need to a copy of Steven Hakim’s Brief History of Time. And I don’t know where to look for it?M: Did you che ck the status on the library’s computer?W: I tried but I couldn’t figure out what to do.M: Well I can call it up right here. You wanted Hakim’s book right? It looks like it will be out for another 6 weeks.W: Oh no, I really need it for paper that due in 2 weeks. Is there anything you can do?M: Sure, we can try to get it from another library, just fill out this form and it should be here in 3 or 5 days. But it will cost 2 dollars.W: What a relief! That’s a really help!**********************************************************★M: Good morning. Is this where we should come to add or drop a course?W: Yes, it is. Just write the name of the course you want to drop on this little form.M: Great! Now where do I write the Astronomy course that I want to add?W: Sorry it’s too late to add a course. You could only add courses two weeks since this semester. And Friday was the last day.M: But I’m senior. And if I dropped the class without adding in one, I wouldn’t have enough credits to graduate.W: So, what you have to do then is to get the professor’s approval and have him sign the special add form. Then bring it back to me, and I put it through.M: Okay. Thanks. I hope I’ll be able to find them.**********************************************************★M: Hi, Lanyard, we missed you in psychology class yesterday.W: I have a terrible cough. So I stayed at home. Do you take notes?M: Well, no one can ever recite for my handwriting. Tina was there, too. And you are more likely to be able to read her notes.W: Do you know where she is today?M: I know she has class in the morning. But she always eats lunch in the cafeteria around noon.W: Good! I’ll try to catch her then.第六篇打工场景M: So you are going to be writing for the school newspaper?W: Yes, I’m excited about it. I’m thinking about journalism as a career.M: Well! Congratulations! How do they decide whom to hire?W: I have to send the writing sample. I used one of the essays I’ve written for the literature class, then the editor assigned me a topic to write a short article about it.M: What did you write about?W: Actually, it was a lot of fun. I wrote about the students’ play that has been performed this month.M: Oh, I saw that play. The director is a friend of mine. It really called in a stir around here. W: Yeah, I know. That’s what I wrote about --people’s reaction to it. It’s really interesting. M: Have you finished the article? Can I read it?W: Sure. I just made a couple of copies. So you can have one.M: Thanks. I wish I were a better writer. Working for the paper sounds like fun.W: Well, they’re looking to add one or two more photographers to the staff.M: You’re kidding! May be I’ll go over and apply.W: If you want, I’ll walk over with you to the newspa per office and introduce you to the photographic editor and some of the other photographers.M: That will be terrific! But can we go tomorrow? I have to go to math class now. And if we go tomorrow, then I’ll have time tonight to put together a portfolio of photographs to show them.W: Sure. And maybe you should call them and set up a time to meeting them tomorrow. M: Good idea. I’ll do that before I go to class.W: All right. See you tomorrow.第七篇学习问题W: Hey, Kevin, I haven’t seen you since the begin ning of the semester, how is it going?M: Well, I am a little overwhelmed. It’s strange. I always want to go to a big university like this but now I am here. I am not so sure. I mean the courses are interesting enough, but… W: What’s bothering you then?M: Well after going to a small high school and knowing everybody it’s a pretty shagged to be in huge lecture hall with hundreds of students. And not one professor even knows my name. W: I know you mean. I’ve so pretty lost myself last year but I know about something that might help. It’s called the mentor group.M: The what?W: The mentor group. It’s like a support group. I joined it last year when I was a first year student.M: So what is it?W: It’s basically professors and small group of stu dents getting together informally to discuss all kinds of subjects. You have the chance to meet professors and other students.M: Hem, sounds worthwhile, but doesn’t it take up a lot of studying time？W: Not really, you can study all the time you know and this is like a little break.M: I guess you could meet professor whose course you might take later!W: Exactly, that’s what happened to me! I am taking the psychology course with Professor Green. I didn’t know how interesting psychology was, till I got to talk to him in the mentor group.M: You talk to him in the mentor group! Is it too late to join?W: I don’t think so; if I were you I go over to the dean’s office and sign up.M: I was going to the library to return a book but I can do it later I guess.第八篇注册学校W: Here we are at registration again; I can’t believe how much tuition has gone up.M: I know. It’s ridiculous. You know my cousin Anne pays nothing to go her school in Kentucky.W: Nothing! Maybe I should transfer there.M: You can’t, only students from certain part of Kentucky can go. It’s only for students from the Appalachian Mountains area.W: So with no tuition how do they run the school?M: Well, they get a lot of donations.W: And that pays for everything?M: Well, they also get some money from the government and besides that all the students are required to work at the college. That’s why the college doesn’t need to hire a lot ofoutside-workers.W: Oh yeah, that will help cut the school expenses, so what kind of job do they do?M: My cousin helps to clean the dorms. I think her roommate washes dishes in the cafeteria. Things like that.W: That sounds great! Come to think of it. I heard of something in Georgia called hope scholarship.M: Hope scholarship? What’s that?W: I think they used state lottery money to give free tuition. But not everyone from Georgia qualifies. You need at least B average in high school.M: I should apply for that. I had really good grades in high school.W: No, you had to be from Georgia.M: Just my luck.第九篇学习问题W: What’s the matter? I’ve never seen you look so tense?M: Oh, I am just frustrated. That’s all. I have been working on this lab report for my biology class for hours and the results keep coming out wrong.W: Did you use the right procedures?M: Yeah, that’s not the problem…it’s just the…well, it’s just, you know every time I do the statistics I get the different results. Did you ever take biology?W: No, I fill my science requirement with physics, I real ly don’t care for biology especially dissection. I must pass it down in high school. We had to cut open that.M: Ok, I get the picture, I am bit squish myself but biology requires the least math, which isn’t my best subject. I really don’t see why we ev en have to take science classes if we are not major in it. I am never going to use this in the real life.W: Well that’s not the point really, a college graduate suppose to be well-rounded it. You knowwith broad education. You can only specialize in grad school.M: Sure, if I ever get there. It just seems I run one biology lab report could stand in the wave of brilliant career in sociology.W: You don’t be silly; you will manage somehow. See how come you don’t have the result for one of your XXX to write down.M: Whoops! I must forgot to add it in. No wonder my figures were messed up!十篇W: Hi, Mark, how is it going?M: Well, not so great.W: What's wrong?M: I’ve got a big problem with the poetry course that’s required for my major.W: Is it all sold up?M: No, no, there's plenty room, but there's prerequisite. I’ve got to take an introduction to poetry before I can take the special course in poets of the 1960's, and the introductory course is only offered in the evenings.W: You don't like evening classes?M: No, that's not the point. I work in the cafeteria every evening; I need the money to pay my tuition.W: Can you ask someone that work to switch hours with you? Maybe you could just switch a couple of evening since the course probably only needs two times a week?M: I wish I could, my boss just did me a favor by putting me on evenings. And he'll hit the ceiling if I ask to change again.W: Wait a minute, I have an idea, have you checked the course over at the community college?They might offer intro-to-poetry course during the day!M: Hey, that's a great idea! I am free this afternoon, I think I'll go over and check it out.W: Yeah, their courses are actually cheaper and you can transfer the credits over here!M: Thank for the advice, Linda. I'll let you know what happens.W: Sure, Mark, good luck! Oh, while you there, could you find out when the pool is open? M: No problem.第十一篇学习问题M: I'm really glad we got Cindy to be in our study group.W: That's for sure, his background in art should be a big help getting ready for this art history final.M: Now, what we'll have to do is to figure out where we’re going to meet.W: Why don't we just meet in the library?M: The six people in the group will probably make too much noise. How about my dorm room?W: There is not enough space, where would we all sit?M: Oh, I know, the snack bar in the student center! It is not too crowd in the evening, and we can push some tables together.W: That'll work! I'll let everyone know to be there at 7:00 tonight.第十二篇买书M: Excuse me. I am looking for the textbook for a course called Psychology of Personality, but Ican't find it anywhere.W: Is that the book for Dr. Peterson's course?M: That's right, Psychology 3601.W: Yes, yes, I was afraid of that. It seems we didn't order enough books for that class. You are the 7th person today who’s come in looking for one.M: But classes begin on Monday.W: I wouldn't worry, Dr. Peterson was aware of the problem, and we got another shipment of books coming in before the end of the month.M: Can I reserve the copy?W: No problem. Just give me your name and phone number, we'll call you when the books arrive.第十三篇停车★M: I’ve got another parking ticket. I don't under stand why?W: What color sticker do you have?M: It's gold; it's for this lot!W: Well, where did you park?M: Over there, next to that green truck.W: You are right in front of the loading dock; that's where they unload the kitchen supplies. M: So what?W: You are lucky you only got a ticket. Normally, security tows any cars that park there.第十四篇打工场景★Listen to a conversation between an advisor and a student.W: Come on in, Paul, and have a seat. How can I help you?M: Well, I need to choose my major, and I guess I am not sure what I want to do for a career. W: Oh!M: My problem is that I love philosophy, but my dad doesn't want me to get a degree in the humanities. He said that I'll be better off financially with a career in something like business. W: Yes, people in the humanities often do make lower salaries.M: Yeah, and I don't want to be poor, so I’m doomed.W: Hem...I guess you know that a lot of famous philosophers work in other fields, too. In fact,some of them did ground-breaking work.M: Like Aristotle?W: Um, this is just one example. There were doctors, lawyers, historians, mathematicians. Lock for example, he was trained to medicine.M: Yeah, but you are talking about geniuses. I get to grades, but I'm not a genius.W: My point is, you could work in a higher paid field and pursue philosophy on the side. It's not too late for you to declare a double major.M: But what other fields what I choose?W: I can help you with that, there's a special test you can take to determine your talents. You can take it now and it only takes an hour, then we can match your talents to a variety of job descriptions and go for there.M: Ok, that sounds like a good plan!第十五篇打工场景M: Ms. Preska, I am Tim Louis.W: Nice to meet you, Tim. The work study office called to let me know you will come in. You are interested in job here this coming semester.M: Yes, I was hoping the library might be able to use me.W: We always need some help from work study students. Can you tell me a little about yourself?M: Let’s see, I am a sophomore. I live off campus and I major in business.W: Fine, what about work experience?M: I have been the lifeguard for 3 summers at city pool. Here on campus I work last year in the cafeteria. This semester I am at the computer center 3 evenings a week but I prefer the afternoon job.W: We have the opening for someone to share books 4 afternoons a week, a total of 16 hours. Will that suit you?M: Perfectly, my courses in next semester all meet in the morning.W: The job is yours then. Please read through this information before your begin, your first day of work will be 2 weeks from today.M: Thank you very much, I’ll see you then.第十六篇暑假出行M: So where are you going to be this summer?W: I’ve got a part time job at the gallery in New York. And I will be taking a joining class at night.M: That's great. You can learn a lot working in an art gallery, and there's no place like New York for an inspiring artist. I lived there myself when I was first at the college.W: I know how lucky I am to have this job but to tell you the truth; I have my heart set on going out west this summer.M: Out west? You mean California.W: No, the southwest, the desert and everythingM: Why the desert?W: Well, you know, Georgia O'Keeffe is my favorite artist, and she did such good work out there.M: That' true. But O'Keeffe didn't start out in the southwest, you know. She lived in New York for years, and she did some very impressive painting there.W: I guess you mean the skyscraper series. It's funny I never really thought about where she paint them before.M: It was in New York and she got a lot out of living there. She didn't always enjoy it. But later on she said that being around so many artists that help her to develop her own artistic vision.W: That's a new way of looking at the city. Now I can only find affordable place to live.第十七篇学习问题★Listen to part of the conversation between two college studentsM: Could we stop for a few minutes before we go over chapter five? I'm gonna need extra emerge to get through that one.W: Why? The first four chapters went really fast.M: I know, but the professor said the test would go up to chapter five. And that's the one I understand least. My notes from that day are a mess, circles made of broken lines, the word "GESTALT" in big letters, complete confusion.W: Ok, well, let's start with the broken lines. There suppose to be an illustration of the principle of closure. The idea is that your brain doesn't take in information exactly the same way as your eyes see it. I mean it's not like your eyes are camera and your brain just see the photographs it takes. The point is that your brain perceives more than your eyes actually see. Imaging individual broken lines and the shape of the circle, your brain perceives them to be a circle, even though the shape isn't complete. Your brain fills in the empty spaces because what it sees is familiar to a complete pattern.M: Oh, I get it. Our brain s’ close is based in the circle --- closure, so is closure the same thing as GESTALT?W: Well, closure is part of GESTALT. It's one of the five principles that try to explain how thebrain organizes the information it perceives.M: Hem, do you think that the other four principles would be on the test?W: Probably seems they are all in chapter five. We'd better go over all of them.M: Yeah, I'm sure you are right. But let's go and get something to eat before we do the rest, ok? Otherwise, I don't think my brain will be able to perceive anything.W: Sure, let's go.第一篇（打工场景）It seems like only yesterday that I was sitting where you are, just finishing my first year of medical school and wondering if I'd ever get a chance to use all my new knowledge on a real live patient!Well, I have good news for you! You don't have to wait until your third or fourth year ofMedical school to get some hands-on experience! The dean has invited me here to tell you about the university's rural opportunity program. If you enroll in this program, you can have the opportunity this summer, after your first year of medical school, to spend from four to six weeks observing and assisting a real physician like me in a small rural community. You won't have to compete with other students for time and attention, and you can see what life as a country doctor is really like.The program was designed to encourage medical students like yourselves to consider careers in rural communities that are still understaffed. It seems that medical students are afraid to go into rural family practice for two reasons. First, they don't know much about it. And second, specialists in the cities usually make more money. But, on the up-side, in rural practice, doctors can really get to know their patients and be respected members of the community.I participated in the program when it first started and spent six weeks in a small rural town. Let me tell you, it was really great! I got to work with real patients. I watched the birth of a child, assisted an accident victim, and had lots of really practical hands-on experience --- all in one summer. And to my surprise, I found that country life has a lot to offer that city life doesn't --- no pollution or traffic jams, for instance!My experience made me want to work where I'm needed and appreciated. I don't miss the city at all!第二篇（选课场景）In the few minutes that remain of today's class, I'd like to discuss next week's schedule with you. Because I'm presenting 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 halfway point in the semester. Professor Andrews has agreed to administer the exam. In place of the usual Wednesday class, I've arranged an optional review session. Since it is optional, attendance 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.第三篇（打工场景）Good afternoon. I'm here today to talk to you about a career with our airline. We're especially interested in recruiting people to fill openings for flight attendants.First of all, to work as a flight attendant with us, you must be accepted into our training program --- and with so many people applying, it's not easy to be selected. From the thousands of applications that we receive annually, we choose fewer than a thousand people for training. So, we require experience serving the public; and it also helps if you've earned some college credits.Also, not everybody who gets accepted into the training program makes it through.The course meets six days a week for five weeks. The training includes extensive classroom workin such subjects as first aid and passenger psychology as well as practical training in flight procedures and meal service. A lot of our graduates say that our fight attendants develop the skills of a nurse, a headwaiter, and a public relations executive!But, as a flight attendant myself, I can say that all of the hard work is worth it. Of course, I get to travel throughout the country, and the airline pays all of my expenses while I'm away from my base station. And, what I like best of all is that I've made friends with people from all over the country!第四篇（Housing场景）I need to make sure you understand how to get housing for next year. When you entered as first-year students this year, the school assigned you to a dorm and a roommate, but next year as returning students you'll choose both your roommate and your dorm. But whether or not you actually get to live in your first choice depends on what number you or your roommate draws in the lottery system. The system gives priority to the students who have been here longest. Fourth-year students get the first block of numbers, third-years get the second block, and second-years --- like you'll be --- get the third. The lower the number you draw, the sooner you choose. Number one gets the first choice, number two gets the second choice, and so on.You can use either your won or your intended roommate's number to make your room choice. If your roommate for next year has been at the school longer than you have, they'll be in a better block of numbers and so will have a better number than any second-year student. But most of you will probably be rooming with other second-year students and so neither of you may have a great number. You may not get into your first or even second choice. Of course, if you've made plans to live off campus, you don't need to enter the lottery at all.Dorm space will be especially tight this year because the dorms on North Campus will be closed for renovations. This means that those of you who draw the worst numbers won't be able to get dorm housing at all. In that case, the housing office will help you find off-campus housing.生物类15+13=28。

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.。
