Robert?MALE STUDENT: I thought our textbook said that the Egyptians imported their glass from other countries.FEMALE PROFESSOR: Well, until now that's what the evidence seemed to suggest. I mean, we had some evidence that suggested that the Egyptians were making glass objects, uh, but not glass.MALE STUDENT: OK, am-am I missing something? They're making glass, but they're not making glass.FEMALE PROFESSOR: I said they were making glass objects, right? You see, it was previously thought that they weren't actually making the raw glass itself, that they were importing unfinished glass from Mesopotamia—um, which today is a region consisting of Iraq, and parts of Syria, Turkey, and Iran—and simply reworking it. Most archeologists believed that the glass factories were in Mesopotamia because that's where the oldest known glass remains come from. You see, there were two stages of glassmaking: the primary production stage, where they made disks of raw glass… Uh, an- and then there was the secondary stage, where they melted the raw glass, the glass disks, and created decorative objects or whatever.And from this new Egyptian site we've learned that the primary production stage had several steps. First, they took quartz—a colorless, transparent mineral—and crushed it. Then they took that crushed quartz and mixed it with plant ash; uh, “plant ash” is just what it soundslike—the ash that's left after you've burned plant material. They slowly heated this mixture, at a relatively low temperature, in small vessels, um containers, like jars, made out of clay. Uh, and that yielded a kind of glassy material…They took this glassy material and ground it up into a powder, and then they used metallic dye to color it… After that, they poured the colored powder out into disk-shaped molds and heated it up to very high temperatures, so that it melted. After it cooled, they'd break the molds, and inside…there were the glass disks. These disks were shipped off to other sites within Egypt and places around the Mediterranean. Then, in the secondary phase, the disks were reheated and shaped into decorative objects. Susan?FEMALE STUDENT: So what kind of objects were people making back then? FEMALE PROFESSOR: Well, the most common objects we’ve found—mostly in Egypt and Mesopotamia—uh, the most common objects were beads; one thing Egyptians were very, very good at was imitating precious stones; they created some beads that looked so much like emeralds and pearls that it was very difficult to distinguish them from the real thing. Uh, and-and also beautiful vessels, uh, with narrow necks; they were probably really valuable, so they wouldn't have been used to hold cooking oil or common food items; they were most likely used for expensive liquids like perfume. Now the glass made at this factory was mostly red; to get this red color, they used copper; in a sophisticated process. Of course, any kind of glass was very valuable, so these red bottles would only have been owned by wealthy people. In fact, because it was so difficult to make, and sort of mysterious and complicated, it was probably a product produced for the royal family, and they probably used glass to show their power. Also, beautiful, expensive objects make great gifts if you're looking to establish or strengthen political alliances…and it's quite possible that ancient Egyptians were actually exporting glass, not just making it or importing it. The trade with Mesopotamia was probably a friendly, mutual trade…because, uh, Mesopotamian glass was usually white or yellow, so Mesopotamians might have said something like, “We'll give you two white disks for two red disks.” There’s no proof ofthat, uh—at least not yet…题目1.What is the lecture mainly about?A. New information about glass production and use in ancient EgyptB. Whether Egyptians or Mesopotamians were the first to invent glassC. Differences between Egyptian glass and other kinds of glassD.

TPO23Lecture l-Archaeology(Antikythera(Mechanism)Professor:I was talking to one of my colleagues in the physics department the other day,and we ended up discussing how one discovery can change everything.My colleague mentioned how the theory of relativity completely changed the field of physics.At any rates,that conversation got me thinking about archaeological finds that really changed our understanding of ancient civilizations.So I want to talk about the discovery of the Antikythera Mechanism.The Antikythera Mechanism was found a hundred years ago, under water in an ancient Greek shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea.It was in extremely poor condition and in many corroded pieces.But once we figured out what it was and reconstructed it.Well,I simply don't have the words to convey how extraordinary this find was.The Antikythera Mechanism is a relatively small device,roughly the size of a shoebox, made of gears fitted inside a wooden case.In its original state,there were rotating dials and other indicators on the top,with letters and drawings showing the Sun,the phases of the moon and different constellations.Inside the box,bronze gears would have rotated the displays.The displays,uh,the indicators of the Antikythera Mechanism,would then movedto show the motion of the Sun and moon relative to the planets and stars.The device could be used to tell the different phases of the moon and much more.Well,scientists have recently analyzed the inscriptions on the mechanism andre-examine the other cargo in the ship wreck,and the evidence makes an absolute case that this device dates back to ancient Greece somewhere between150and100B.C.E.What makes that so fascinating is that before we found the Antikythera Mechanism,the earliest device we had that could track the Sun and moon like this was invented over1,000years later.So when this was first found,people literally would not believe it.Some of my colleagues insisted it had to have been made well after100B.C.E.But this physical evidence was conclusive.It was that old.Of course part of what made this find so unusual is that the Antikythera Mechanism is constructed of bronze.Now,it is not that bronze was all that rare in Greece then,it is just that bronze was valuable and could easily be recycled.It would have been relatively easy for a person with knowledge of metals to melt down bronze objects and forge them into?well,say,coins.Bronze was used to made money back then. Or mold the bronze into anything else of value for that matter.We are very fortunate that the device ended up under water,because otherwise it probably would have ended up recycled into?who knows what.Now,it was a challenge to figure out the Antikythera Mechanism.It spent over2,000years at the bottom of the sea before it was discovered. And even after it was discovered,it was still a number of years before we really understood what it was.You see,the mechanism had corroded underwater,and many of the gears were stuck together in a mass.Cleaning it was only partly successful.We could only get agood look at the structure of the gears after gamma-rays were used to see inside,very similar to the way X-rays are used to see your bones.Now,once we got a good look inside, we saw a really complex device.The many gears not only moved in a way that could indicate the phases of the moon.The Antikythera Mechanism also tracked both the lunar year and the solar year.Additionally,the gears also moved to match the motions of the planet and predicted eclipses.But one thing that is particularly notable is that the mechanism was so precise that it even took into account a particular irregularity in the moon's orbit,which requires some very complex math to replicate in mechanical device.You could say that the Antikythera Mechanism was a very precise calendar,which stands to reasons calendars were very important to ancient peoples.Religious festivals had to be held at the right time of year,crops needed to be planted at the right time as well. And let's not forget that eclipses in planetary motions had important symbolic meanings.教授:有一天我跟物理系的一位同事聊天,聊到一个发现有可能会改变所有的事情。

The conditions that minerals are under are not constant.Conditions like temperature or pressure or chemical surroundings—these change—often in cycles,increasing and decreasing slowly over time.And as conditions change,minerals sometimes break down and their atoms recombine into totally new compounds,as part of a process some call mineral evolution.Now,minerals are not alive,of course,so this is not evolution in quite the same sense you'd have in living organisms.But there do appear to be some parallels.Living organisms not only adapt to their environment but also affect it—change theenvironment within which other organisms may then develop.Likewise,each new mineral also enriches the chemical environment from which lots of other,even more complex new minerals may be formed in the future.Beyond these similarities,though,what's really fascinating about mineral evolution is the way minerals apparently coevolve with living organisms.Uh,what do I mean by that?Well,it's maybe a billion years after Earth’s formation that we first see evidence of life.Of course,early life-forms were primitive—just tiny,single-celled microbes—but over time,they had a profound effect.Huge numbers of these microbes began producing food by photosynthesis,which,of course,also freed up enormous amounts of oxygen.And lots of that oxygen interacted with the atoms of existing minerals,creating rust out of iron,for instance,…reacting with a whole range of different metals to create lots of new minerals.Now,living organisms rely on minerals.But they not only take in some minerals as nutrients,they also excrete others as waste products...including what we call biominerals—minerals that form with the help of biological life.We can see geologic evidence of biomineral production in what are called stromatolites.Stromatolites look like wavy layers of sedimentary rock.But they're really fossils—fossils of the waste from microbial mats.Microbial mats are vast colonies of one-celled organisms…that were once the most prevalent form of life on Earth.And the study of stromatolites indicates that these ancient microbial mats interacted with minerals in the environment and left behind new compounds as waste products—biominerals like carbonates,phosphates,and silica.In fact,we’ve grown microbial mats in the laboratory,and,over time,they too have produced some of the same sorts of minerals found in stromatolites.Uh,you don't need to know the details of the process right now—we’re still figuring out just how it works,ourselves.But you might be interested to know that this concept of mineral evolution is being used in the search for evidence of life on other planets.The thinking is that if certainminerals occur here on Earth as a result of a biological process,and if we also find those same minerals on another planet,…this would suggest that life may have once existed there.But—just because a particular mineral is found on say,Mars or Venus—uh,we really shouldn't assume that whatever caused it to turn up there…must be the same process that formed that mineral here on Earth.题目1.What is the main purpose of the lecture?A.To explain how geologists identified the minerals present during Earth's formation.B.To explain why living organisms require certain minerals to survive.C.To explain the differences between simple and compound minerals.D.To explain a recent theory about mineral formation.2.What point does the professor make about the minerals present during Earth's formation?A.They were comparatively few of them.B.They were more complex than minerals formed on other planets.C.Most were not affected by temperature and pressure changes on early Earth.D.Some of them are no longer being formed naturally on Earth.3.What similarities does the professor point out between minerals and living organisms?[Click on2answers.]A.Both first appeared on Earth at approximately the same time.B.They both can be formed only in the presence of oxygen.C.They both have become more diverse and complex over time.D.Not only are they both shaped by their environment,but both also affect it.4.What are stromatolites?A.Fossils remains of microbial mats.yered deposits of iron-based minerals.yers of rock that indicate changes in Earth's pressure and temperature.D.Rock formations created when oxygen interacts with certain metals.5.Why does the professor talk about microbial mats?A.To explain why organisms tend to colonize near certain minerals.B.To describe how minerals can be created by living organisms.C.To illustrate the effects of geological processes on living organisms.D.To emphasize that evolving life depended on the presence of oxygen.6.What does the professor think about using evidence of minerals on another planet to

This short bank thaws faster than the tall one does,so it falls into the lake—it slumps, much more and much faster than the other bank.When the short banks of many lakes slump,they move farther downhill and the lakes grow—all in the same downhill direction.This is a new theory,so it hasn't been tested much yet.In field studies,when we've looked at the banks of these thaw lakes,there's not much evidence of slumping. We'd expect to see cliff-like formations there,from the slumping,but we haven't really found many of those.题目1.What is the main purpose of the lecture?[Click on two answers.]A.To contrast how different kinds of thaw lakes growB.To explain why a new theory of thaw lakes is gaining acceptanceC.To explain how processes in permafrost lead to the formation of thaw lakesD.To describe two competing theories about the growth of thaw lakes2.The professor explains thaw lake formation as a cycle of events that occur repeatedly.Summarize this cycle,starting with the event filled in below.[Click on a sentence.Then drag it to the space where it belongs.The first one is done for you.

So according to Dunbar’s equation,our social groups probably won't number more than150people.Now,Dunbar’s hypothesis isn't the kind of thing that's easy to confirm in a controlled experiment,but there is anecdotal evidence to support it.As part of his research,Dunbar reviewed historical records for21different traditional hunter gatherer societies.And those records showed that the average number of people in each village was just under150,148.4to be exact.Dunbar also worked with biologists to see if his hypothesis applies to other mammals besides primates. When they looked at meat eating mammals,carnivores,they found that the ones with a larger neocortex also have a bigger social group.And the number of individuals in that group is predicted by Dunbar’s equation supporting his hypothesis. But when they looked at insectivores,mammals that eat insects,the results were inconsistent.The data didn't disprove Dunbar’s hypothesis,but wasn't a nice,neat match like the carnivore studies,which isn't totally surprising.Insectivores are hard to observe,since many of them only come out at night or they spend a lot of time underground.So,we know a lot less about their social relationships.题目1.What is the lecture mainly about?A.The role that the neocortex plays in human memoryB.The connection between neocortex size and social relationships in mammalsC.Various studies that compare social group sizes in humans and other mammalsD.Ways that humans can expand the size of their social groups2.Why does the professor discuss the length of some telephone numbers?A.To show that real-world applications are informed by cognitive psychologyB.To point out an exception to a well-known principle about memoryC.To explain why telephone numbers are used in tests of memoryD.To explain why people often dial the wrong telephone number3.What does the professor imply about the size of a person's sympathy group?A.It closely matches the size of the person's family.B.It becomes larger when a person learns how to feel compassion for others.C.It may not be something a person makes a conscious decision to control.D.It may not be as predictable as the size of the person's social group.4.What did Dunbar's study of the records of some traditional hunter-gatherer societies indicate?A.Hunter-gatherer societies were the first to form social groups.B.Tool usage by humans is related to social group size.C.There is a maximum social group size for humans.D.Hunter-gatherers tend to have smaller-sized social groups.5.What does the professor say that biologists discovered in their research of animals other than primates?A.Dunbar's hypothesis accurately predicts social group sizes for all animals.B.Social group sizes of carnivores are more difficult to predict than those of insectivores.C.Data on insectivore behavior neither support nor contradict Dunbar's hypothesis.D.The size of an animal's neocortex is affected by its diet.6.Why does the professor say this:But why so small?sure.Relationships take time and emotional energy.And most of us don't have unlimited amounts of either.A.To encourage students to spend more time developing relationshipsB.To emphasize that her point is based on personal experienceC.To indicate that she realizes that the students already know the answer to her questionD.To suggest that there is more than one possible response to her question答案B AC C C D译文请听社会学课上的部分内容。
