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. Reasons why ancient Egyptians imported glass from other countries2.What is the importance of the archaeological evidence recently found in Egypt?A. It supports the theory that ancient Egyptians imported glass from Mesopotamia.B. It proves that ancient Egyptians made glass objects prior to the Bronze Age.C.

托福（听力）历年真题试卷汇编10(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 a university employee (E).S: Wow! Your store isn’t too easy to find.E: You can say that. They’ve moved us to the basement.S: Well, I made it anyway. Could I get some color copies of this flier?E: Sure, how many do you need?S: 500. It’s for a fundraiser I’m organizing, and I need enough copies for each faculty and staff member, also a few to put on bulletin boards.E: Really? What fundraiser?S: Oh, it’s to raise money for a new sandbox at the preschool on campus.E: Oh, do you work there? My wife and I looked into the preschool for our daughter, but we arrived on campus too late for her to enroll.I just started at the university this semester, so maybe we’ll get her in next year.S: No, not exactly. I’m majoring in early childhood education. For a research paper I’ve been spending time there observing the different ways they teach pre-reading skills. I was really surprised by all the learning tools and techniques that they use in the classroom and even on the playground.E: Yea? It’s interesting what they do with kids these days.S: Anyway, there’s another thing that surprised me. I had no idea how sparse their playground is—just a slide, some balls, and a couple of swings for about 45 children! The director told me she’d love to have a big sandbox too, which got me some thinking. I have to do 20 hours of community service to graduate, so I offered to organize a fundraiser to buy a sandbox, and the director really loved that idea. I figured that’ll take 20 hours, at least.E: So what’s your plan to raise the money?S: I got my advisor, Professor Campbell, to teach a parenting workshop there. He’s going to give tips on raising toddlers.E: Great idea. Toddlers can be a challenge. I know that from experience.S: Anyway, the workshop is just three weeks away, so I need to distribute the flyers as soon as possible. Could I get the color copies right now?E: Well, unfortunately our color copiers are undergoing routine maintenance right now, so it might take a day or two, but if you need them right away, you could use one of our black and white copiers. They’re all self-service.S: I guess that’ll be ok. Thanks!E: By the way, how much are you going to charge for that workshop?S: $50, but that registration fee also includes a copy of Professor Campbell’s new parenting book. He wrote this great book about toddlers that sells for $25.E: $50 seems a little high, but since you include the book too...S: Yea, the book has gotten some great reviews, too.E: Hmm... can I have one of your flyers after you make the copies?S: Sure! I’ll give you a few if you want to help me spread the word.1．Why does the student go to see the university employee?A．To get directions to the nearest copy centerB．To order photocopies of a documentC．To get permission to post a sign on a bulletin boardD．To solicit his help on a research project正确答案：B解析：目的主旨题。
