What had the man assumed about the exhibition?Part:BQuestions 31-35: Listen to a conversation between a geology professor and ~ student.They are discussing a reading assignment about the ocean floor.A: Dr. Smith. I need to ask you about something in Chapter 12. Well it talks about erosion and the deposit of sediment on the deep sea floor, but I'm confused, ‘cause, well, for that to happen there would have to be some kind of force down there moving the mud or sand or whatever, right. But I thought there weren't any waves or currents that deep in the ocean.B: That's not exactly correct. It's true that deep down on the ocean floor we won't have the same kinds of currents we find in shallower parts. But we do find what we call turbidity currents. This wasn’t in the book but the term came up in class. Do you remember what itmeans?A: Umh, turbidity currents? Oh, yeah! Isn't that when sediment like sand or mud gets stirred up and mixes with water And then this mixer kind of flows through the water around it, right?B: Good!A: Umh, but I thought that only happened in rivers.B: Well, yes. This does occur in rivers, but we see turbidity currents deep in the ocean as well. A: But how do they get started there?B: Earthquakes mostly, when an earthquake occurs under water, it throws up tremendous amounts of mud or sand that becomes suspended in a layer of water near the bottom of the ocean. This layer is so much denser and heavier than other ocean water that if flows right down the slopes o f the ocean floor and gains more and more speed as it moves along. Then it's just like the winds blowing across the desert picking up sand from one place and moving it along and finally dropping it somewhere else. 31:What is the main topic of the discussion?32:What does the professor ask the student to explain?33:How is a turbidity current different from the water around it?34:According to the professor, how do earthquakes cause turbidity currents?35:Why does the professor mention desert winds?Questions 36 - 39: Listen to a conversation about weekend plans.A: Hey Neal, now that the midterms are over a bunch of us are getting away for the weekend to go canoeing. Wanna come along'?B: Well, uhm, it'd be great to get away, but I've never done ii before.A: None of the others have either except for me. I went once last fall. But there'll be an instructor in each canoe the first day.B: I don't know.A: Oh, come on. This is our last chance to take a break before finals. The scenery is beautiful, and if it gets too hot we can dive in whenever we feel like it. The river's really calm this time of the year, no rapids to deal with.B: That's a relief. What would I have to bring?A: Let's see. Tom's bringing food for the Friday night cookout for everyone. And the people who run the trip have tents set up and they supply food and drinks for all day Saturday. On the way back Sunday morning we'll stop somewhere for breakfast. So, you have to bring a bathing suit and a sleeping hag. B: Well, I do love camping and sleeping out. Where is this place?A: Well, it's about an hour and a half to the place where we meet the trip leaders. We leave our car there and they drive us and the canoes upriver to the place where we start canoeing.B: And who's driving us to the meeting place?A: Well, I was hoping we could take your car. Mine's in the shop again.B: Oh, I see. It's not me you want, it's my car.A: Don't be silly. So what would you say?B: Oh, why not!A: Great I'll give you a call when i find out when everyone wants to leave on Friday.36:What is the main reason the woman calls the man?37:What is one thing the man has to bring?38:What does the man say he enjoys doing?39:What does the woman need to talk to the man again?Part:CQuestion 40-42: Listen to a part o f a talk in a business class.In the 18th century French economists protested the excessive regulation of business by the government. Their motto was laisser faire. Laisser faire means let the people do as they choose. In the economic sense, this meant that while the government should be responsible for things like maintaining peace and protecting property fights, it should not interfere with private business. It shouldn't create regulations that might hinder business growth, nor should it be responsible for providing subsidies to help. In other words, governments should take a hand off approach to business. For a while in the United States, laisser faire was a popular doctrine. But things quickly changed. After the Civil War, politicians r arely opposed the government’s generous support of business owners. They were only too glad to support government land grants and loans to railroad owners for example. Their regulations kept tariffs high and that helped protect American industrialists against foreign competition. Ironically in the late 19th century, a lot of people believed that the laisser faire policy was responsible for the countries industrial growth. It was generally assumed that because business owners did not have a lot of external restrictions placed on them by the government, they could pursue their own interests, and this was what made them so successful. But in fact, many of these individuals wouldnot have been able to meet their objectives if not for government support.40:What is the talk mainly about?41:Who first used the motto laisser faire?42:What is the principle idea of the laisser faire policy?Question 43-46: Listen to a talk about enzymes in a biology class.Let's begin today by discussing enzymes. Enzymes are what make many of the body's biochemical reactions possible. Actually biochemical reactions can take place without them, but at much lower rates. In fact an enzyme may cause a reaction to proceed billions of times faster than it would otherwise. Before I go on to the biochemical specifics of how this works, let me provide a figurative example. I think it will help illustrate the power of enzymes more clearly. Now, suppose you got a bag and you put a bunch of locks in it, just small padlocks. Then you put in all the keys that go with the locks. And you closed the bag and shook it hard. No matter how long you shook, chances are very small that any key would get inserted in any of the locks. But if you took them all out of the bag and this time used your hands to insert the keys in the locks, you could combine them much quicker.Enzymes act like your hands, quickly allowing chemical reactions that would otherwise take much longer. Now, there are 2 reasons that enzymes are so effective at enabling biochemical reactions. Firs enzymes greatly reduce the amount of energy required to start the reactions, and with less energy needed the reactions can proceed a lot faster than they, could without the enzyme. The second mason is that on a small amount of an enzyme is needed to enable the biochemical reaction. That's because the chemical structure of the enzyme itself does not become altered as if enables the reaction. So a single enzyme can be used to start the same biochemical reaction over and over again.43:What is the talk mainly about?44:What point does the professor make about an enzyme when it is involved in a biochemical reaction? 45:What do enzymes do to help start a biochemical reaction?46:Why does the professor talk about locks and keys?Question 47-50: Listen to part of a lecture in an art history class;Today I'd like to talk about the sculptor Henry Moore, in particular the ideas his work is based on, and also how he viewed the medium of sculpture. Moore said that to appreciate sculpture a person needs to respond to form in all of it's 3 dimensions. He believed that this is more difficult than responding to art that is done on a flat surface, a surface such as canvas that has only 2 dimension. For example, when you're looking at a painting you don't have to walk around it. You don't relate to form and shape in the same way you do when to shapes in nature such as that of bones and shells and stones. He thought that if you could appreciate the shape of something simple, like a stone that you could go on to appreciate more complex forms. He noticed that many of the stones he picked up had holes in them. One distinctive feature of Moore's sculpture is his use of holes or opening to emphasize that he isindeed working in a 3 dimensional medium. He believed that the shape of a solid mass, and could even help create a sense of mass or volume. Moore was also interested m representing the human figure, which he sculpted in such materials as bronze, stone, and wood. His sculptures of humans contained one person as in the work reclining figure or several people as in the sculpture family group. 47:What is the talk mainly about?48:According to Henry Moore, why is sculpture more difficult to appreciate than other forms of art? 49:Why does the professor mention bones and shells?50:What is one well-known feature of Henry Moore's sculptures?。

最新全套TPO听力文本托福TPO-1TPO 01 – Listening PartSection 1ConversationNarratorListen to part of a conversation between a student and a librarian.StudentHi, um…, I really hope you can help me.LibrarianThat‘s why I‘m here. What can I do for you?StudentI‘m supposed to do a literature review for my psychology course, but um… having a hard time finding articles. I don‘t even know where to start looking.LibrarianYou said this is for your psychology course, right? So your focus is on …StudentDream Interpretation.LibrarianWell, you have a focus, so that‘s already a good start. Hmmm… well, there‘re a few things… oh wait… have you checked to see if your professor put any material for you to look at on reserve?StudentAha, that‘s one thin g I did know to do. I just copied an article,but I still need three more on mytopic from three different journals.LibrarianLet‘s get you going on looking for those then. We have printed versions of twenty psychology journals in the Reference Section. These are the ones published within the last year. Then I think about it… there‘s a journal named Sleep and Dream.StudentOh, yeah, the article I just copied is from that journal, so I‘vegot to look at other sources.LibrarianOk, actually, most of our materials are available electronically now. You can access psychologydatabases or electronic journals and articles through the library‘s computers, and if you want tosearch by title with the word ?dream‘ for example, just type it in and all the a rticles with ?dream‘in the title will come up on the screen.StudentCool, that‘s great! Too bad I cannot do this from home.LibrarianBut you can. All of the library‘s databases and electronic sources can be accessed through anycomputer connected to the university network.StudentReally?! I can‘t believe I didn‘t know that. It still sounds likeit‘s going to take a while though, youknow, going through all of that information, all of those sources.LibrarianMaybe, but you already narrow your search down to articles on Dream Interpretation, so it shouldn‘t be too bad. And you probably noticethat there‘s an abstract or summary at the top ofthe first page of the article you copied. When you go into the databases and electronic sources,you have the option to display the abstracts on the computer screen, skimming those to decidewhether or not you want to read the whole article should cut down some time.StudentRight, abstracts! They‘ll definitely make the project more durable.I guess I should try out theelectronic search while I‘m still here then, you know, just in case.LibrarianSure, er… that computer‘s free over there, and I‘ll be here till five this afternoon.StudentThanks, I feel a lot better about this assignment now.LectureNarratorListen to part of a lecture in a contemporary art class.ProfessorOk, I‘m going to begin this lecture by giving you your next assignment. Remember I said that atsome point during this semester I wanted you to attend an exhibit at the Fairy Street Gallery andthen write about it? Well, the exhibit that I want you to attend is coming up. It‘s already startedin fact, but it‘ll be at the gallery for the next month, which should give you plenty of time tocomplete this assignment.The name of the artist exhibiting there is Rose Frantzen.Frantzen‘s work may be unfamiliar toyou since she‘s a relatively young artist. But she‘s got a very unusual style, compared to some ofthe artists we‘ve looked at this term. But anyway, Frantzen‘sstyle is what she herself callsRealistic Impressionism. So you‘ve probably studied both of these movements separately,separate movements, Realism and Impressionism, in some of your art history courses. So who can just sum these up?StudentWell, Impressi onism started in the late 19th century. Um…the basic impressionist style was verydifferent from earlier styles. It didn‘t depict scenes or models exactly as they looked. Um…Impressionist painters tended to apply paint really thickly, and in big brushstrokes, so the texture of the canvas was rough.ProfessorGood. What else? What were the subjects?StudentWell, a lot of impressionist artists painted everyday scenes, like people on the streets and in cafes, lots of nature scenes, especially landscapes.ProfessorGood. So when you go to the exhibit, I really want you to take a close look at a certain painting. It‘s a farm scene. And you will see it right as you enter the gallery. The reason I think this painting is so important is that it stresses the impressionist aspect of Frantzen‘s style. It‘s an outdoorscene, an everyday scene. It‘s kind of bleak, which you can really see those broad brushstrokesand the blurry lines. The colors aren‘t quite realistic. The sky is kind of, well, in a natural… pinkishyellow. And the fence in the foreground is blue, but somehow the overall scene gives an impression of a cold, bleak, winter day on a farm. So that‘s the impressionist side of her work.Oh, and speaking about farms, that reminds me. One interesting thing I read about Franzten is that when she first moved back to Iowa after living abroad, she often visited this place in her town called the Sales Barn. And the Sales Barn, it was basically this place where the local farmers bought and sold their cattle, their farm animals. And the reason Frantzen went there, and she later on would visit other places like dance halls, was to observe people and the ways that they moved. She really found that this helped her work---that it gave her an understanding of body movements and actions, how humans move, and stand still, what their postures were like, too. So, what about Realism? What are the elements of Realism we should be looking for in Frantzen‘s work?StudentUm… real honest depictions of subject matter, pre tty unidealized stuff, and pretty everydaysubject matter, too.ProfessorGood. One other painting I really want you to look at is of a young woman surrounded by pumpkins. You will notice that the woman‘s face is so realistic looking that it‘s almost li ke aphotograph. The woman‘s nose is a little less than perfect and her hair is kind of messed up. Thisis realism. But then, the background of the painting, this womanwith the pumpkins is wrapped in a blanket of broad thick brushstrokes, and, it‘s all kinds of zigzagging brushstrokes and lines, kind of chaotic almost when you look at it close. And there arevibrant colors. There‘s lots oforange, with little hints of an electric blue peeking out.I find Frantzen to be a very accessible artist. I mean, some artists, to appreciate them, you have to know their life story. But here‘s alittle bit about Rose Frantzen‘s life anyway. She attended art school, but was told by one of her instructors that she was not good at illustration, that she should go into advertising instead. So shetook advertising classes and fine arts classes too, until she was convinced by the head of an advertising agency that her work was really good, that she could be an artist. But of course, it‘s not as easy as that, and so Frantzen had to paint otherpeople‘s portraits at places like art fairs just to make money tobuy paint for her more series ofart work. No matter what, she never stopped painting. And now, Frantzen is doing extremely well. And her work is being shown all overthe country. So I think most of us would be discouraged if we had to face challenges and difficulties like that. But what‘s important is thatyou keep at it that you don‘t give up. That‘s what is really important to remember.LectureNarratorListen to part of a lecture in a geology class.ProfessorOk, let‘s get started. Great. Today I want to talk about a way in which we are able to determine how old a piece of land, or some other geologic feature is - dating techniques. I‘m going to talk about a particular dating technique. Why? Good dating is a key to good analysis. In other words, if you want to know how a land formation was formed, the first thing you probably want to know is how old it is. It‘s fundamental.Um… Take the Grand Canyon for inst ance. Now, we geologists thought we had a pretty goodidea of how the Grand Canyon in the southwestern United States was formed. We knew that it was formed from sandstone that solidified somewhere between 150 and 300 million years ago. Before it solidified, it was just regular sand. Essentially it was part of a vast desert. And until just recently, most of us thought the sand had come from anancient mountain range fairly close by that flattened out over time. That‘s been the conventional wisdom among geol ogists for quite some time. But now we‘ve learned something different, and quite surprising, using a techniquecalled Uranium-Lead Dating.I should say that Uranium-Lead Dating has been around for quite a while. But there have been some recent refinements. I will get into this in a minute. Anyway, Uranium-Lead Dating has produced some surprises. Two geologists discovered that about half of the sand from the Grand Canyon was actually once part of the Appalachian Mountains. That‘s really eye-opening news,since the Appalachian Mountain Range is, of course, thousands of kilometers to the east of the Grand Canyon. Sounds pretty unbelievable, right?Of course, the obvious question is how did that sand end up so far west? The theory is that huge rivers and wind carried the sand west where it mixed in with the sand that was already there. Well, this was a pretty revolutionary finding. Um… and it was basically because of Uranium-LeadDating. Why? Well, as everyone in this class should know, we usually look at the grain type within sandstone, meaning the actual particles in the sandstone, to determine where it came from. You can do other things too, like look at the wind or water that brought the grains to theirlocation and figure out which way it was flowing. But that‘s onlyuseful up to a point, and that‘snot what these two geologists did.Uranium-Lead Dating allowed them to go about it in an entirely different way. What they did was: they looked at the grains of Zircon in the sandstone. Zircon is a material that contains radioactive Uranium, which makes it very useful for dating purposes. Zircon starts off as molten magma, the hot larva from volcanoes. This magma then crystallizes. And when Zircon crystallizes, the Uranium inside it begins to changeinto Lead. So if you measure the amount of Lead in the Zircon grain, you can figure out when the grain was formed. After that, you can determine the age of Zircon from different mountain ranges. Once you do that, you can compare the age of the Zircon in the sandstone in your sample to the age of the Zircon in the mountains. If the age of the Zircon matches the age of one of the mountain ranges, then it means the sandstone actually used to be part of that particular mountain range. Is everybody with me on that? Good.So, in this case, Uranium-Lead Dating was used to establish thathalf of the sandstone in the samples was formed at the same time the granite in the Appalachian Mountains was formed. So because of this,this new way of doing Uranium-Lead Dating, we‘ve been able to determine thatone of our major assumptions about the Grand Canyon was wrong.Like I said before, Uranium-Lead Dating has been with us for a while. But, um… until recently, inorder to do it, you really had to study many individual grains. Andit took a long time before you got results. It just wasn‘t veryefficient. And it wasn‘t very accurate. But technical advances have cut down on the number of grains you have to study, so you get your results faster. So I‘ll predictthat Uranium-Lead Dating is going to become an increasingly popular dating method. There are a few pretty exciting possibilities forUranium-Lead Dating. Here is one that comes to mind. You know the theory that earth‘s continents were once joined together and only split apart relatively recently? Well, with Uranium-Lead Dating, we could prove that more conclusively.If they show evidence of once having been joined, that could reallytell us a lot about the early history of the planet‘s geology.Section 2ConversationNarratorListen to part of a conversation between a student and his professor.ProfessorHi Mathew, I‘m glad you can come in today. You‘ve been observingMr. Grable‘s third-grade classfor your approaches to education paper, right?StudentHmmm, yes. I go over the Johnson Elementary School, you know, to watch Mr. Grable teach thechildren in class. It‘s been amazing, I mean, I‘m just learning so much from just watching him.I‘mso glad the classroom observations are a requirement for the education pr ogram. I mean it‘s likethe best thing ever to prepare you to be a good teacher.ProfessorWell, I‘m glad to see you feel that way, Mathew. You know, that‘s the goal. So, I‘ve been readingover your observation notes and I‘m quite interested in what‘s going on, in particular what‘s theastronomy unit he‘s been teaching.StudentThe astronomy unit?ProfessorIt seems that Mr. Grable has mastered the interdisciplinary approach to teaching — the waywe‘ve been talking about in class.StudentOh! OK, yeah, so like when he was teaching them astronomy, he didn't just teach them thenames of the planets, he used it as a way to teach mythology.ProfessorReally! So, how did he do that?StudentWell, some of the students could already name the planets, but they didn‘t know that the nameshad any meaning — the stories behind them.ProfessorSo, he…StudentHe introduced Greek and Roman mythology as a way of explaining. Like, you know, how likeJupiter‘s the biggest planet, right, and how Jupiter was the nameof the king of the gods inRoman mythology, right? So since Jupiter, the planet, is the largest planet in our solar system, it‘slike the king of the planets, like Jupiter was the king of all the gods.ProfessorOh, Mathew, that‘s a great example.StudentYeah! And each student chose a planet and then did research on it to write a report and make a presentation. They went to the library to do the research, then they made presentations about the planet they chose.ProfessorSo, in one science unit, in which the focus was astronomy, the students also learned about the literature of Greek and Roman mythology, used research skills in the library, wrote a report and practiced their oral presentation skills.StudentExactly! He used this one topic to teach third-grades all thatstuff — how to use the books in thelibrary, to write reports, and even how to speak in public. Plusthey had a great time doing it.ProfessorYou know, Mathew, this is just what we‘ve been talking about in our clas s. I‘m sure everyone canlearn something from your experience. You know, Mathew, I‘d lovefor you to talk about thisastronomy unit in class on Wednesday.StudentReally?! Hmmm… ?cause I don‘t really think I‘ll have any time to write my paper by then.ProfessorOh, you won‘t need to write anything new just yet. For Wednesday, use your class observationnotes and explain the things we‘ve discussed today.StudentOk, that sounds all right.LectureNarratorListen to part of a lecture in an archeology class.ProfessorOK, we‘ve been talking about early agriculture in the near east. So let‘s concentrate on one siteand see what we can learn from it. Let‘s look at Catalhoyuk. Ah…I‘d better write that down.Catalhoyuk, that‘s about as close as we get in English. It‘s Turkish, really. The sites in modern dayTurkey, and who knows what the original inhabitants called it. Anyway, uh…Catalhoyuk wasn‘tthe first agricultural settlement in the near east, but it waspretty early, settled about 9000 years ago in the Neolithic period.And ... umm... the settlement...ah...town really, lasted about a thousand years and grew to a size of about eight or ten thousand people. That certainly makes it one of the largest towns in the world at that time.One of the things that make the settlement of this size impressiveis the time period. It‘s theNeolithic, remember, the late Stone Age. So the people that lived there had only stone tools, no metals. So everything they accomplished, like building this town, they did with just stone, plus wood, bricks,that sort of thing. But you got to remember that it wasn‘t just any stone they had,they had obsidian. And umm... obsidian is a black, volcanic, well, almost like glass. It flakes very nicely into really sharp points. The sharpest tools of the entire Stone Age were made of obsidian. And urrr... the people of Catalhoyuk got theirs from further inland, from central Turkey, traded for it, probably.Anyway, what I wanna focus on is the way the town was built. The houses are all rectangular, one storey made of sun dried bricks. Butwhat‘s really interesting is that there are no spacesbetween them, no streets in other words, and so generally no doorson the houses either. People walked around on the roofs and entered the house through a hatchway on the roof, down a wooden ladder. You canstill see the diagonal marks of the ladders in the plaster on the inside walls. Once you were in the house, there would be one main room and a couple of small rooms for storage. The main room had the hearths, for cooking and for heat. It would‘ve been prettycold during the winters. And it also looks like they made theirtools near the fire. There tends to be a lot of obsidian flakes andchips in the hearth ashes, but no chimney. The smoke just went out the same hatchway that people used for going in and out themselves. So there would have been an open fire inside the house with only one hole in the roof to let the smoke out. You and I would have found it a bit too smoky in there. You can see on the walls, which they plastered and decoratedwith paintings. They ended up with a layer of black soot on them, and so did people‘slungs. The bones found in the graves show a layer of soot on the inside of the ribs. And that‘s another unusual feat ure of Catalhoyuk, the burial sites. The graves have all beenfound under the houses, right under the floors. And it maybe this burial custom that explains why the houses were packed in so tightly without streets. I mean, you might think it was for protection or something, but there has been no evidence found yet of any violent attack that would indicate that kind of danger. It maybe they wanted to live as near as possible to their ancestors‘ graves and be buried near them themselves. But it makes a good point.Based on excavations, we can know the layout of the houses and the location of the graves, but we‘re only guessing when we tried to say why they did it that way. That‘s the way it is witharcheology. You are dealing with the physical remains that peopleleft behind. We have no sure access to what they thought and how they felt about things. I mean it‘s interesting to speculate.And the physical artifacts can give us clues, but there is a lot we can‘t really know. So, forinstance, their art. They painted on the plastered walls and usually they painted hunting scenes with wild animals in them. Now they did hunt and they also raised cereal crops and kept sheep, but we don‘t know why so many of the paintings are of hunting scenes. Was it supposed to havereligious or magical significance? That‘s the kind of thing we can only guess at based on clues.And hopefully, further excavation of Catalhoyuk will yield more clues. But we‘ll probably neverknow for sure.LectureNarratorListen to part of a lecture in a biology class.ProfessorFor today‘s discussion, we‘ll review the case study on how some animals have behaviorallyadapted to their environments. Now you had to read about two animal species, the Eastern marmot and the Olympic marmot. Marmots are rodents. They are large ground squirrels, about the size of an average house cat. And they live in a variety of habitats. And even though they spend the significant portion of the year hibernating, according to this case study, marmots are still considered excellent subjects for animal behavioral studies. Why is that?StudentWell, when they are not hibernating, you can find them in open areas. And they are pretty active during the day, which makes them easy to observe, right?ProfessorUh-ha, so first let‘s discuss the Eastern marmots. They reside throughout the eastern region ofNorth America where there is a temperate climate, where the growing season lasts for at least five months of the year, which is when they do all their mating, playing and eating.StudentOh, I see. At first I wasn‘t sure what growing season meant, just from the reading. But now I getit. It's the amount of time it takes for them to grow, right? So it would be five months?ProfessorUmm? Oh, uh… I‘m sorry but no. It h as nothing to do with that.It's not about the time it takesfor Eastern marmots to grow. It‘s when the food is available. That is when it‘s not covered insnow and there is no frost covering the grass and, umm, vegetative parts of a plant‘s herbs andthe flowers the marmots like to eat. So growing season refers to the availability of the food they eat, OK? So now how would you describe the Eastern marmots‘ social habits?StudentWell, they are really territorial, and loners, and just so aggressive even with other Eastern marmots. And their mating ritual is just so impersonal.ProfessorUh-ha? Now when they emerge in the spring from hibernation, the mating process begins. For them, well, they come together to mate and then they go their separate ways. Then about six to eight weeks after birth, the offspring leave their mothers.StudentReally? Just six weeks? Is that possible for the offspring to make it on their own so young?ProfessorWell, it‘s not as if they aren‘t ready for the real world beca use they are. Remember, they maturequickly and the weather‘s nice. Also they live in open fields where there is lots of ediblevegetation. So roughly six weeks after birth, Eastern marmots are just old enough to take their chances of surviving in the temperate environment. So how does this relate to their behavior?StudentOh, I get it. Since the climate‘s not too bad, the Eastern marmots don't have to rely on eachother too much and they really don't need to stay together as a family to survive either.ProfessorUh-ha. Any contrast, the Olympic marmots? What about them?StudentWell, they live together as a family and take care of their young until they are at least two years old. They‘re really friendly with each other. And what I really like is that they even have greeting ceremonies. And they are not at all aggressive and territorial like the Eastern marmots. So their social behavior is so different from Eastern marmots because of the climate where they live? That seems so bizarre.ProfessorWell, the Olympic marmots inhabit meadows high in the Olympic Mountains where the weather conditions are much harsher. So there is a lot more wind and snow. The growing season only lasts about two to three months. So in that much shorter period of time, all the Olympic marmots, male and female, eat, play, work and nurture the young together. Because the climate is so harsh, cooperation increases the survival rate of the Olympic marmots. They keep their young at home until they are physically able to survive on their own. This could explain why the social behavior of the Olympic marmots is so unlike that of the Eastern marmots.TPO-2TPO 02 – Listening PartConversationNarratorListen to a conversation between a student and a professor.StudentUh, excuse me, Professor Thompson. I know your office hours are tomorrow, but I was wondering if you had a few minutes free now to discuss something.ProfessorSure, John. What did you want to talk about?StudentWell, I have some quick questions about how to write up the research project I did this semester—about climate variations.ProfessorOh, yes. You were looking at variations in climate in the Grant City area, right? How far along have you gotten?StudentI‘ve got all my data, so I‘m starting to su mmarize it now, preparing graphs and stuff.But I‘m just. . . I‘m looking at it and I‘m afraid that it‘s not enough, but I‘m not sure what else toput in the report.ProfessorI hear the same thing from every student. You know, you have to remember now that you‘re theexpert on what you‘ve done. So, think about what you‘d need to include if you were going toexplain your research project to someone with general or casual knowledge about the subject, like . . . like your parents. That‘s usually my rule of thumb: would my parents understand this?StudentOK. I get it.ProfessorI hope you can recognize by my saying that how much you do know about the subject.StudentRight. I understand. I was wondering if I should also include the notes from the research journal you suggested I keep.ProfessorYes, definitely. You should use them to indicate what your evolution in thought was through time. So, just set up, you know, what was the purpose of what you were doing—to try to understandthe climate variability of this area—and what you did, and what your approach was.StudentOK. So, for example, I studied meteorological records; I looked at climate charts; I used different methods for analyzing the data, like certain statistical tests; and thenI discuss the results. Is that what you mean?ProfessorYes, that‘s right. You should include all of that. The statistical tests are especially important.And also be sure you include a good reference section where all your published and unpublished data came from, ?cause you have a lot of unpublished climate data.StudentHmm . . . something just came into my mind and went out the other side.ProfessorThat happens to me a lot, so I‘ve come up with a pretty good memory management tool. I carry a little pad with me all the time and jot down questions or ideas that I don‘t want to forget. Forexample, I went to the doctor with my daughter and her baby son last week and we knew we wouldn‘t remember everything we wanted to ask the doctor, so we actually made a list of five things we wanted answers to.StudentA notepad is a good idea. Since I‘m so busy now at the end of the semester, I‘m getting prettyforgetful these days. OK. I just remembered what I was trying to say before.ProfessorGood. I was hop ing you‘d come up with it.StudentYes. It ends up that I have data on more than just the immediate Grant City area, so I also included some regional data in the report. With everything else it should be a pretty good indicator of the climate in this part of the state.ProfessorSounds good. I‘d be happy to look over a draft version before you hand in the final copy, if youwish.StudentGreat. I‘ll plan to get you a draft of the paper by next Friday. Thanks very much. Well, see ya.ProfessorOK.LectureNarratorListen to part of a lecture in a philosophy class.ProfessorOK. Another ancient Greek philosopher we need to discuss is Aristotle—Aristotle‘s ethical theory.What Aristotle‘s ethical theory is all about is this: he‘s trying to show you how to behappy—what true happiness is.Now, why is he interested in human happiness? It‘s not just because it‘s something that all。

My parents have always liked taking my sister and me to different places in theUnited States. U know, places with historical significance. I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history. And so even though we are older now, they still do once in a while. Oh so where r u going this summer?A: Well, this summer it's finally going to be Gettysburg.B: Finally? U mean they never took u yet? I mean Gettysburg, it's probably the most famous civil war site in the country, It's only a couple of hours away.

I wrote a paper about Gettysburg last semester for a history class I was taking. Well about the political situation in the United States right after the battle atGettysburg, So I'm eager to see the place.31. What are the students mainly discussing?32. What does the man find surprising about the woman?33. What is the woman unable to remember?34. What does the woman imply about Gettysburg?Q35-39A: What r u doing?B: I'm ordering some filing cabinet out of a catalog.A: What do u need them for?B: There's so much stuff piling up in my dormitory room. If I don't do sth soon, I won't be able to move in there.A: Do u usually order from a catalog?B: Sometimes. Why?A: OH, it's just in the history class today we were talking about how the catalog sales business first got started in the US. A Chicago retailer, Montgomery Ward started it in the late 1800s. It was really popular among farmers. it was difficult for them to make it to the big city stores so they ordered from catalogs. B: Was Ward the only one in the business?A: At first, but another person named Richard Sears started his own catalog after he heard how much money Ward was making.B: What made them so popular?A: Farmers trusted Ward and Sears for one thing. They delivered the products the farmers paid for and even refunded the price of things the farmers weren't satisfied with. The catalog became so popular some country school teachers even used them as textbook.B: Textbook?A: Yeah, Students practice spelling the names and adding up the prices of things in the catalogs.B: Was everybody that thrilled about them?A: That's doubtful. Say they drove some small store owners out of business. Sears and Ward sold stuff in such large quantities. They were able to undercut the prices at some small family owned stores.35. What is the conversation mainly about?36. Why was the woman reading a catalog?37. Who were the main customers of Sears and Ward's business?38. What unusual way were the catalog used?39. What was one of the negative effects of the catalog business?Part CQ40-42The birds u seen here in this slide are peregrine falcons(游隼).。

I need to ask you about something in Chapter 12. Well it talks about erosion and the deposit of sediment on the deep sea floor, but I'm confused, cause, well, for that to happen there would have to be some kind of force down there moving the mud or sand or whatever, right? But I thought there weren't any waves or currents that deep in the ocean.B: That's not exactly correct. It's true that deep down on the ocean floor we won't have the same kinds of currents we find in shallower parts. But we do find what we call turbidity currents(混浊流). This wasn’t in the book but the term came up in class. Do you remember what it means?A: Um, turbidity currents? Oh, yeah! Isn't that when sediment like sand or mud gets stirred up and mixes with water,and then this mixer kind of flows through the water around it, right?B: Good!A: Um, but I thought that only happened in rivers.B: Well, yes. This does occur in rivers, but we see turbidity currents deep in the ocean as well.A: But how do they get started there?B: Earthquakes mostly, when an earthquake occurs under water, it throws up tremendous amounts of mud or sand that becomes suspended in a layer of water near the bottom of the ocean. This layer is so much denser and heavier than other ocean water that if flows right down the slopes of the ocean floor and gains more and more speed as it moves along. Then it's just like the winds blowing across the desert, picking up sand from one place and moving it along and finally dropping it somewhere else.31:What is the main topic of the discussion?32:What does the professor ask the student to explain?33:How is a turbidity current different from the water around it?34:According to the professor, how do earthquakes cause turbidity currents?35:Why does the professor mention desert winds?Questions 36–39A: Hey Neal, now that the midterms are over a bunch of us are getting away for the weekend to go canoeing. Wanna come along'?B: Well, um, it'd be great to get away, but I've never done it before.A: None of the others have either except for me. I went once last fall. But there'll be an instructor in each canoe the first day.B: I don't know.A: Oh, come on. This is our last chance to take a break before finals. The scenery is beautiful, and if it gets too hot we can dive in whenever we feel like it. The river's really calm this time of the year, no rapids(急流) to deal with.B: That's a relief. What would I have to bring?A: Let's see. Tom's bringing food for the Friday night cookout(郊游野餐)for everyone.

Their motto was laisser faire(自由主义). Laisser faire means let the people do as they choose. In the economic sense, this meant that while the government should be responsible for things likemaintaining peace and protecting property fights, it should not interfere with private business. It shouldn't create regulations that might hinder business growth, nor should it be responsible for providing subsidies to help. In other words, governments should take hands off approach to business. For a while in the United States, laisser faire was a popular doctrine. But things quickly changed. After the Civil War, politicians rarely opposed the government’s generous support of business owners. They were only too glad to support government land grants and loans to railroad owners for example. Their regulations kept tariffs high and that helped protect American industrialists against foreign competition. Ironically in the late 19th century, a lot of people believed that the laisser faire policy was responsible for the countries industrial growth. It was generally assumed that because business owners did not have a lot of external restrictions placed on them by the government, they could pursue their own interests, and this was what made them so successful. But in fact, many of these individuals would not have been able to meet their objective if not for government support.40:What is the talk mainly about?41:Who first used the motto laisser faire?42:What is the principle idea of the laisser faire policy?Question 43-46Let's begin today by discussing enzymes. Enzymes are what make many of the body's biochemical reactions possible. Actually biochemical reactions can take place without them, but at much lower rates. In fact an enzyme may cause a reaction to proceed billions of times faster than it would otherwise. Before I go on to the biochemical specifics of how this works, let me provide a figurative example. I think it will help illustrate the power of enzymes more clearly. Now, suppose you got a bag and you put a bunch of locks in it, just small padlocks(挂锁). Then you put in all the keys that go with the locks. And you closed the bag and shook it hard. No matter how long you shook, chances are very small that any key would get inserted in any of the locks. But if you took them all out of the bag and this time used your hands to insert the keys in the locks, you could combine them much quicker.Enzymes act like your hands, quickly allowing chemical reactions that would otherwise take much longer. Now, there are 2 reasons that enzymes are so effective at enabling biochemical reactions. First enzymes greatly reduce the amount of energy required to start the reactions, and with less energy needed the reactions can proceed a lot faster than they could without the enzyme. The second reason is that on a small amount of an enzyme is needed to enable the biochemical reaction. That's because the chemical structure of the enzyme itself does not become altered as if enables the reaction. So a single enzyme can be used to start the same biochemical reaction over and over again.43:What is the talk mainly about?44:What point does the professor make about an enzyme when it is involved in a biochemical reaction? 45:What do enzymes do to help start a biochemical reaction?46:Why does the professor talk about locks and keys?Question 47-50Today I'd like to talk about the sculptor Henry Moore, in particular the ideas his work is based on, and also how he viewed the medium of sculpture. Moore said that to appreciate sculpture a person needs to respond to form in all of its 3 dimensions. He believed that this is more difficult than responding to art that is done on a flat surface, a surface such as canvas that has only 2 dimensions. For example, when you're looking at a painting you don't have to walk around it. You don't relate to form and shape in the same way you do when looking a sculpture. Moore paid great attention to shapes in nature such as that of bones and shells and stones. He thought that if you could appreciate the shape of something simple, like a stone then you could go on to appreciate more complex forms. He noticed that many of thestones he picked up had holes in them. One distinctive feature of Moore's sculpture is his use of holes or opening to emphasize that he is indeed working in a 3 dimensional medium. He believed that the shape of hole itself could have much meaning as that of solid mass, and could even help create a sense of mass or volume. Moore was also interested in representing the human figure, which he sculpted in such materials as bronze, stone, and wood. His sculptures of humans contained one person as in the work reclining figure or several people as in the sculpture family group.47:What is the talk mainly about?48:According to Henry Moore, why is sculpture more difficult to appreciate than other forms of art? 49:Why does the professor mention bones and shells?50:What is one well-known feature of Henry Moore's sculptures?。

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

As the industry developed so did the horse ridding contests that we called rodeos. Rodeos weren’t always the big entertainment shows that we see nowadays. The first ones were small contests started as an informal competition among people historically referred to the cowboys. Although they didn’t include both men and women. One duty of the cowboys was to guide the cattle from grass rangers into town along the railroad lines where the cows were loaded on to trains. The cowboys would gather near these cattle towns to compete for the unofficial title “best horse rider”. They were demonstrated the riding skills that they had learned as a matter of survival. And the audience was composed mainly of other cowboys who watch the competitor critically since they knew what the events were all about. Rodeos contest took a different turn in the 1890’s, when organizers began to hold cowboys sports during yearly agriculture affairs. What was different with the audience? It consist mostly people who were unfamiliar with the life on the range. They were amazed by the skills of riders and intelligence of horses. The rodeos at agricultural affairs became so popular that ranchers and business people began to organize rodeos as independent events separate from fairs.The organizers built large arenas(竞技场),and earn money by requiring spectators to pay for admission. More and more notable rodeos held annually in Wyoming. It’s called frontier days. While “frontier days”is not the first independent rodeo, it is the oldest annual show taking place each year since 1897.40. What is the topic mainly about?41.

Some of the mice wondered around the box and didn’t appear to be bothered about being so exposed. But other mice didn’t move. They stayed up against one wall, which indicate that they were afraid. Well, when fearful mice or you might say anxious mice like ones who stayed in one place. When mice like this were bred with one another repeatedly, after about 12 or so generations, then all of the offspring show similar signs of fearfulness.And even when the new born mouse from this generation was raised by a mother and with other mice who were not fearful, that mice still tend to be fearful as the result. Now, why is this? Well, it’s thought that the specific gene in animal body have influenced on the anxious behavior. These genes that are associated with particular nerve cell receptors in brain. And the degree of overall fearfulness in the mammal seem to depend in the large part on the presence or absence of these nerve cell receptors. And this appears to apply to humans as well by the way. But while the tendency towards anxiety and fear may well be an inherited trait, but the specific form that the fear takes has more to do individual environment. So a particular fear like the fear of snakes or the fear of spider, say, is not genetic. But the overall tendency to have fearful responses is.43. What is the talk mainly about?44. How did some of the mice in the study demonstrated that they were afraid?45. According to the professor, what contribute to a mammal tendency to befearful?46. Why does the prof. mentions snakes and spiders?47-50One type of natural spring geographer is interested in is artesian spring. Hikingthrough the woods some of you are surprised to see water flowing from the opening in the ground. That will no more ever. That may be artesian spring. To help you understand why water might flow like this from underground, I’d like to explain two basicconditions that necessary for their formation. The first condition is that water mustbe contained in an aquifer(含水土层). An aquifer is an underground layer of rock sediment that has pores or holes in it. And this pores rock allows water to flow through it freely. The aquifer must be inclined so that the over the surface of the ground. Rain water enter this through exposed and traveled downward to the lower portion of the aquifer. The second condition is that above and below the aquifer there must be layer of pores or clay. Either called aquicludes(含水土层), and they block or hinder the flow of water. Aquicludes prevent water from drilling out of aquifers. So, let us go back to our artesian spring. There usually located above the ground near the lower and wind …… aquifer. A artesian spring are those places some hole crack stand from the ground surface, down through the Aquicludes and into the aquifer. Now the rain water that had drilled into the aquifer makes expose up end created pressure at the low end, so if there is crack in the rock, a crack that run from the aquifer to the surface, then the pressure pushes the water up through it. and water trickling out of the artesian spring.47. What is the topic mainly about?48. Why are the aquicludes important to the development of the artesian spring?49. According to the prof., how does water in the aquifer reach the ground surface?50. What does the prof. Say about the pressure?。

I found if all these mistakes in the Latin text, you know, typographical(印刷上的).B: Wait a minute, you were actually reading the word?A: Wow, I will so caught up in the performance that I never even look at the program. B: I’d like to follow the te st while I’m listening. It allows me understand what they are singing about. Anyway, when they were doing those Latin pieces, I notice all these mistakes, mostly spelling errors. But it was really annoying. So after the concert went over, people were crowding around the backstage to see her and soloist. A: Yeah, I remember, there were dozens of people waiting here for autograph(亲笔签名).B: Well, I wait to the end and then when I met Bob Johnson I showed her the mistakesI found.A: Was she upset?B: Upset? She actually thanked me and if I send her a copy of correct test. She will revise(校订)it for the next time they sing those pieces. And even print my name in the acknowledgement as a program editor.A: Woo, you are Latin must be pretty good to find out the errors.B: I should hope so, I majoring in classics.36. what is the man eager to tell the other students?37. what can be inferred about the two students?38. W hat was bob Johnson’s reaction to the man’s commons.39. what will the man probably seen to bob Johnson.[Part C40~42The cattle ranching(经营牧场) industry started in the western US in the late eighteen hundreds. As the industry developed so did the horse ridding contests that we called rodeos. Rodeos weren’t always the big entertainment shows that we see nowadays. The first ones were small contests started as an informal competition among people historically referred to the cowboys. Although they didn’t include both men and women. One duty of the cowboys was to guide the cattle from grass rangers into town along the railroad lines where the cows were loaded on to trains. The cowboys would gather near these cattle towns to compete for the unofficial title “best horse rider”. They were demonstrated the riding skills that they had learned as a matter of survival. And the audience was composed mainly of other cowboys who watch the competitor critically since they knew what the events were all about. Rodeos contest took a different turn in the 1890’s, when organizers began to hold cowboys sports during yearly agriculture affairs. What was different with the audience? It consist mostly people who were unfamiliar with the life on the range. They were amazed by the skills of riders and intelligence of horses. The rodeos at agricultural affairs became so popular that ranchers and business people began to organize rodeos as independent events separate from fairs.The organizers built large arenas(竞技场),and earn money by requiring spectators to pay for admission. More and more notable rodeos held annually in Wyoming. It’s called frontier days. While “frontier days” is not the first independent rodeo, it is the oldest annual show taking place each year since 1897.40. What is the topic mainly about?41. What can be inferred about the early radio?42. What is the significant about the frontier days.45-46We’ve been looking at fear from biological perspective.
