The student is a part-time employee at the library.E: Hi, Melissa! How was your economics exam?S: It was actually pretty challenging. Thanks for letting me take time off from here to study for it.E: Well, like we said, when we hired you, your schoolwork is always a priority as long as you give us sufficient notice as to when you need off. When you were out though, we had a staff meeting explaining a couple of things. We’ll be dividing work in a new way, and we’ll also be using a new procedure for employees to keep track of what work they do.S: You mean instead of keeping track of how many hours we work per week?E: No, you’ll still need to keep track of your total hours, so you can get paid each week. The new procedure I’m talking about will be extra.S: And you said the work will be divided differently?E: Yes. You work at the circulation desk, right?S: Right.E: So, right now you check out books for students, log the returned books, and sort them by category so the stock team can put them back on the shelves. Anything else?S: No, that’s about it.E: Ok. Well, we’re expanding that job to have you do some other tasks too, so going forward you will also help students locate books on the shelves and put returned books in their proper places on the shelves.S: Oh, that’ll be good. There are times when I sit at the desk just waiting for students to come by to check out or return books.E: Ok, and now for the tracking procedure.

For example, when you’re at the circulation desk, how much time do you spend checking in returned books and separating them, or how much time do you spend checking out books for students to borrow?S: Wow, and this seems very specific. I’m just wondering why do we have to be so detailed?E: Well, the university wants a written job description for each role, so we’re putting together a summary of student jobs at the library with specific details about each job, what specific tasks it entails and how much of the job is spent on each task. It won’t be as complicated as it sounds. You’ll have a piece of paper listing all the tasks you do, and you’ll just need to write on it how many minutes you spend on each task. You’ll submit it with your weekly timesheet.S: I also wanted to ask for a few days off again. I have a project due for my world history class at the end of the month.E: That’s fine.

托福（听力）历年真题试卷汇编4（题后含答案及解析）托福（听力）历年真题试卷汇编4(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. 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!。

托福听力经典加试题及答案(汇总鸟类迁徙Bird migrationStudent having difficulties in writing term paper原文:Conversation:term paper of bird migrationListen to a conversation between a student and his Biology professor.S: Dr. Russell, I was hoping to discuss my term paper with you I'm getting a little bit stuck here.P: Of course, so...what do you have so far? What's your topic?S: Well, I wanted to write about bird migration, but I'm having trouble finding enough sources.P: You're having trouble finding sources on bird migrationS: No, actually, on the particular aspect of bird migration that I want to write about.The thing is, I wanted to write specifically on early theories of bird migration...describe some of the theories. Like how Aristotle thought that birds changed into different species during the winter. Or how othernaturalists thought that bigger birds carried smaller birds to warmer spots for the wintertime. But I've only got a couple of books to work with right now.P: Hm...I have to admit that it's an interesting topic, and you certainly seem excited by it. But remember I told you all to ask yourselves how yourtopic is going to help you show that you can apply what you've learned this semester.A summary or description is not really what I'm looking for as much as your analysis of a certain topic.S: I guess it's not really what we're supposed to do, huhP: Right. So, how about we think about some other ideas for your paper. I mean you don't need to discard the idea completely... but... take a really different focus. Um... for example...you could present what you think are some reasons-the rationale-behind some of the erroneous theories early naturalists had. But, you'll be supporting your views with current research; those are the sources you'll need to seek out.S: Ok, I think I see what you're saying. So, like today...today we know that lots of small birds migrate at night, but maybe `cause people didn't see them-didn't see the small birds migrating-they only saw bigger birds, like geese migrating during the day. They thought that the big birds were carrying the small ones under their wings.P: There you go! That's exactly what I mean. You're showing that you're thinking about the topic, not just telling me what you read.S: Ok, I also have a really cool example of a migratory bird that I'd like to discuss in my paper. It's the Common Poorwill—I mean it seems that some Ornithologists believe that the Common Poorwill really does hibernate instead of migrating-that it's maybe the only bird that does.P: If I were you, I would stick just with migration research. Remember, this is only a 15-page paper.S: Ok, I see your point.P: But it's great that you're finding this all so interesting. I want you to come back to see me in a week so we can take a look at the new direction in your paper and evaluate the sources you've found in the meantime.中文大意:Male Student:老师,我想跟你讨论一下我的学期论文。
