1. 12个技巧是高分秘笈
技巧不在多,关键要实用。本书向考生介绍了 12个实用技巧,并以历年真题为实例进行详细阐述,非常有利
于临考应急、提高得分。例如:
表示强调、重申的词句后是要点
文章通常不会对关键或主要的槪念和观点只提一次,而会重复或多次强调说明,以突出重点信息,让
听者能理解要点,从而正确理解粮个讲座的内容。因此其后的内容都是记笔记的重点。用来表示强调、t
申的结构或表达常有:the most important is..., indeed, really, certainly, absolutely, of course, in
other words, to put it another way, that is, in similar terms 等。
»> Sample 4
【录音】Now let’s take a look at the first approach, that is,
【记录重点】
meaning is what is intended by the author.
听到that is时要特别注意,它后
【題目】L Meaning is what is intended by (1)______•
面的部分是对所提信息的亟中
[TEM-8]
和解释,表明that is前后的内容
【解析】听到录音原文中的要点提示词first后,应特别注意其后
比较重要,通常是必考之处。
的内容;接着听到that is,这表明后面的信息是对已提
【笔记r
内容的重申,是考试的觅点,必须记录。根据空格前的by
1 approach, meaning,
可知,此处应填入表人或物的名词性实词。注意不能遗漏
what intended, author
定冠词the。
【答案】the author
2. 30套专项+16套标准模拟
专八听力有2 种题型—— 听力填空、访谈/对话,只要其中一种题型考砸势必影响考生的应试心理,从而影
响幣体得分!本书共有30套听力专项训练和16套听力标准模拟题。考生既可以利用专项训练针对自己的弱
项进行补救式的特训,又可以利用标准模拟题进行全面训练、培养临考题感,为自己的专八考试眹得一个良好的

我们知道,如果没有掌握一定的词汇量,一切的英语学习都会举步
维艰。而在听力方面,若能快速抓住相关的主题词汇,则有助于我们迅速
了解文章大意。本章精选出30篇代表性强、主题鲜明的短文,以挖空听写的
形式训练考生抓听关键词的能力。rather it is in the person who (6)_______________________ or responds to it so that the second thing that
a listener must do—add information that the lecturer (7)_______________________•
Passage 4
Let me explain some of these in more detail. First, facial expression. Facial expression is a
powerful (1) . We all know (2) is an almost universal signal
of pleasure or welcome. But there are other facial expressions that may not be so common. For
instance, (3) suggests that you are surprised or interested in something. Other
facial actions, such as biting your lip, which indicates that you are deep in thinking, or are uncertain
about something; compressing the lips, which show that you are (4)_______________________; and a visible
clenching of the teeth, to show that you are angry, are all powerful conveyers of meaning, too. The
second in this category is (5)_________________________. You see, we use gesture to indicate a wide range
of meanings, though I have to emphasize that the actual gestures we use may be specific to
(6)_________________________. That is to say different cultures have their (7)— in
conveying meaning. Here, a few examples may show you how powerful gestures can be. In British
English behavior, shrugging shoulders may indicate an attitude of “I don’t care”,or “I don’t know".
Crossing your arms may indicate (8)________________________. But it can also powerfully show you are
bored. (9) can mean welcome and farewell while scratching your head may
indicate that you are (10)_______________________ . In other cultures, placing your hand upon your heart is
to indicate that you are (11)________________________• Pointing your finger at your nose means it*s a
secret. That’s why we say that gestures are culture-bound
The third is proximity, posture and echoing. Proximity refers to the (1)
between speakers. This can indicate a number of things and can also be used to consciously send
messages about (2)________ Closeness, for example, indicates (3)_ — or
threat to many speakers. But distance may show formality, or (4)_______________________ • Once again, I’d
like to say, proximity is also both a matter of personal style, and is often (5)_______________________ . So,
what may seem normal to a speaker from one culture may appear unnecessarily close or distant to a
speaker from another. And standing close to someone may be quite appropriate in some situations such
as (6)_______________________ , but completely out of place in other situations, such as a meeting with a
superior. Next, posture. Posture means the way in which someone (7)_______________________ f especially
the back, shoulders and head, when standing, walking or sitting. A few examples. Hunched shoulders
and a hanging head give a powerful indication of whether the person is (8)________________________. A
lowered head when speaking to a superior, with or without eye contact, can convey the appropriate
relationship in some cultures. On the other hand, (9)_______________________ , changes the nature of the
interaction, and can be seen as either (10)_______________________ . Last, echoing. Now, what is echoing?
Let me start with an example. Some of you may have noticed this phenomenon in your experience.
When two people are keen to agree with each other, they would likely, though unconsciously, adopt
the same posture, as if an imitation of each other. They sit or stand in the same manner. When used

- -in this way, echoing appears to complement the (11)_______________________ • Of course, when such
imitation is carried out consciously, it often indicates that someone is (12) at
another speaker.

Passage 6
First of all, let^ talk about what culture is. When we think about culture we first think about a
country, and particularly about its food, art, customs, and (1)________________________. These are the
outward manifestations of a system of values, (2)________________________, and deeply rooted beliefs.
Culture emerges as a group of people meet and then react to the challenges of life. The responses to
those challenges that are successful are taught and shared among members of the group and are
passed on from the older to the younger members. Culture is then learned through (3)______________________•
You can think of culture as having three levels: first, the top level is (4)_______________________ , the
artifacts: visible behavior, art, clothing and so on; second, in the middle level are (5)
. These are invisible rules that cause the artifacts; thirdly, the most powerful dimension of culture
is (6)_______________________ . These assumptions lie so deep that they are never questioned, stated or
defended.
Passage 7
Generally speaking, three types of problems are involved in (1)______________________ . They are
stereotyping, prejudices, and discrimination. Let me explain each one to you with examples.
First, about stereotyping. Walter Lippmann introduced the term in 1922 to refer to
(2)_ ______________________ that is used to organise and simplify perceptions of others. Stereotypes are
(3)_ ______________________ about some group of people to all people who belong to that category.
Examples for stereotyping are such beliefs as: “Women are emotional”, “Politicians are dishonest”,
“Germans are cold and too serious”,“(4)_______________________'
Secondly, about prejudices. Prejudices refer to (5)_______________________ toward other people that
are based on faulty and inflexible stereotypes. Prejudices include irrational feelings of dislike and even
hatred for certain groups of people, who are not based on direct experiences and
⑹ _______________________•
Passage 8
I want you to know that different cultures have different negotiation practices. Negotiation practices
differ (1)________________________• Some cultures expect clients to negotiate over things that would be
totally unacceptable in other countries. Some cultures get upset or angry by things that are totally
(2)_______________________ in other cultures. Different cultures simply have different approaches when it
comes to negotiation. This can be (3)_______________________ when you travel to a new country to
negotiate for business. And even more so if it is your first time. It is important to know what is
culturally expected of you when it comes to negotiation. If you are just starting out in(4) , it is wise to do some homework and identify (5) in
the country you are travelling to. No matter how much research you do prior to your first cross
cultural negotiation communication road blocks can easily come up. This is even more likely if your
negotiation is taking place in a foreign environment to what you are used to. So it is even more
important to (6)_______________________ to ride through communication hurdles.
Passage 9
A high-context culture is a culture in which the context of the message or the action or an event
carries a large part of its (1)_______________________. What this means is that in a high-context culture
more attention is paid to what has been (2)_______________________ than to the message itself. Now let
me give you examples. First in terms of personal space, generally speaking, in a high-context culture,
because there’s greater dependency on (3) , people lean towards (4)
or closeness to people. And they have (5)_______________________, for personal space. If you go
intx) that culture, people might stand closer when theyYe talking to you. They might touch more and if
theyVe jostled in a crowd, they won*t feel violated. And also people from a high-context culture pay
attention to (6)_______________________. Because remember what I said, the definition of a high-context
culture is that more attention is paid to the context of the message than to the message itself, and
part of the context is body language. Second, in terms of time, people in high-context cultures are
considered to have what is called a polychronic attitude toward time. Here "poly" means multiple and
"chronic" means time. What this means is that they believe (7)_______________________ have their own
time and there can^t be a standard system of time for everything. Wliat this leads them to believe is
that you can’t emphasize (8)_______________________. Things happen when they are supposed to happen.
So there's a different attitude toward time. There is no set standard of time. You can*t control time.
Everything has its own sense of time. So it^s a culture that pays little attention to time, to clock time.
Passage 10
A low-context culture is one in which the message, the event or the action is (1)_______________________,
having meaning onto itself, regardless of the surroundings or the context. That the message, the event,
the action has meaning in itself. So what this means in a low-context culture is that people pay more
attention to the event itself rather than to the context which surrounds the event or the message. For
example, in terms of personal space again. There^ more emphasis on (2) , so the
concept of privacy is very very important, or as before as I said, in a liigh-context culture they might
not even be concerned with privacy or personal space. But in a low-context culture, there's a feeling
that we each have oiir own personal space. If you get too close, if you don*t knock on doors before
entering, that’s (3)_________________people feel violated. There’s a respect and a desire for privacy,
and you also see that people might pay less attention to body language because as I said the message
is, the message is (4) . They are not going to worry about all the details around it.
What you say is the important thing or what you do is the important thing...

Passage 11
Negative stress is what most of us think of when we think of stress. And negative stress occurs
logically enough in situations towards which one feels negatively. And those examples could be
(1)________________________, a friend’s death and so on. But here a thing to remember is that stress in
itself is not hazardous, rather the danger is in (2)_______________________ to the stress. So psychologists
have found that if we develop appropriate ways to cope with stressful situations, individuals can reduce
the physiological harm which is caused by stress, or which can be caused by stress. And that*s what I
want to talk a bit about today: what are these appropriate ways to deal with stress; how to minimize
any negative reactions.
The first thing that most psychologists suggest is to learn to recognize (3)________________________.
We all have different types of stress signals, but individuals should monitor themselves for stress
signals so that they can focus on minimizing or acknowledging the stress before (4)
And common early signs for many people include irritability, (5)________________________, weight loss or
even weight gain, smoking, drinking, increases in small errors. All kinds of things that people get which
could be an early signal of stress. You can consider ways to protect yourself when you start seeing
these signs coming on, so you might decide to withdraw from the stressful situation or
(6) with equal amount of low stress activity time. That is really the first important
way to deal with stress appropriately...
(^Passage 12
Now, the second characteristic of active learners is to reflect on information and (1)
. Being reflective is an important part of active learning because it means that you
are (2) _ In other words, you are (3)— . For instance, you
may make connections between the new information and (4) , identify concepts that
you may not understand very well or evaluate the importance of what you are reading. An active
learner (5)_______________________ in this way. In contrast, passive learners may (6)_______________________
and listen to lectures and even understand most of what is read and heard, but they do not take that
crucial next step of actually thinking about it.
Passage 13
The last characteristic, which I think is the most fundamental one, is to accept
( 1 )________________________. Active learners understand that the responsibility for learning must come
from within, while passive learners often want to (2)_______________________ for their lack of motivation,
(3) _____________________, time management problems and other difficulties that they might experience.
When active learners don*t perform as well as theyVe hoped, they evaluate why they didn't do well and
(4) _____________________ the next time. Passive learners, on the other hand, often approach every
course in the same manner, and then (5)_______________________ when their performance is poor. It is
13
• -only when students (6)_______________________ for their own learning that they can truly be called active
learners.
( Passage 14
Psychologists have many theories to explain how we remember information. The most influential
theory is that memory works as a kind of storage system for information. There are three types of
these storage systems with different functions that hold information for different amounts of time. They
are sensory memory, short-term memory and long-term memory. Sensory memory holds information for
the (1)_______________________ amount of time, less than for seconds and instant. Sensory memory is
where (2)_______________________ that stimulate our senses are very briefly stored. We forget sensoiy
memories almost instantly, unless they passed into another storage system. Examples of the stimuli are
what we see and hear in the world, such as (3)_______________________ or the sound of a door closing.
Short-term memory also called (4)_ holds information for about (5)
_________ seconds. This is not a very long time. But the information that passes into this system has
more meaning for us than just sensory stimulation. Some experts believe that sensory information
changes into (6)_______________________ as it is stored. And others believe that information changes into
(7) ____________________ . There is not much room for information in short-term memory. And it did not
stay there for very long. Examples of these types of information are telephone numbers, addresses and
(8) . Long-term memory holds information almost indefinitely, although retrieving it
can sometimes be difficult Think of long-term memory as (9)_______________________, with almost unlimited
capacities for storage. Information gets filed, (10)_______________________ and stored...
Passage 15
Time sampling means that researchers choose various time intervals for their observation. Intervals
may be selected systematically or (1)_______________________ • Suppose we want to observe students,
classroom behaviour. Then in systematic time sampling, our observations might be made during five 20-
minute periods, (2) . The first observation period could begin at 9 am, the second
at 10 am and so forth. However, in random sampling, these five 20-minute periods may be distributed
randomly over the course of the day. That is to say, intervals between observation periods could
(3)_______________________一some longer others shorter. One point I’d like to make is systematic and
random time sampling are (4)_______________________. They are often combined in studies. For example,
while observation intervals are scheduled systematically, observations within an interval are made
(5) ______________________ • That means the researcher might decide to observe only during
(6) ____________________ that are randomly distributed within each 20-minute period.

Passage 16
You probably know what a mobile is, but the mobile Fm talking about is a delicate object of
(1) , hanging from the ceiling and moving gently with every breeze. It delights
both (2)_______________________. Now, do you know who invented the mobile? This lovely creation was the
work of an American artist named Alexander Calder. Calder became interested in making things when
he was a child, and even then he often used (3)_______________________ in his constructions. When he
went to college, he studied (4)_______________________ rather than art. But he quickly realized that art
was his real passion. He also loved the circus, and many of his early art works were small circus
figures made with wire.
In about 1930, Calder turned from realistic wire figures to (5)_______________________ • He began
constructing objects that had circles, squares and other (6)________________________. To get the shapes to
move, he used small motors. Then he went one step beyond these early mobiles. He got the shapes in
his constructions to move by themselves.
A mobile may look simple as it shifts in the wind, but it requires careful construction to work
properly. Calder used his (7)_______________________ to create his first mobiles. Often these consisted of
small pieces of brightly printed metal strung by wire to a thicker base wire. Calder learnt how to find
the precise point to connect each wire so that all the pieces will (8)______________________. In doing so,
he created an art form for people all over the world to copy and ei\joy.
Passage 17
The very first topic of our discussion is “what is art?” My talk today will be divided into two
parts. In the first part of my talk, I will cite some of the opinions on what art is. In the second half
of my talk, I will give you my own (1)_______________________ about art.
First of all, different opinions on art. There are several ways you could go on this, but my
suspicion is that one will get you better results than the others. I could tell you that art plays a large
part in (2)_______________________. Imagine, just for a minute, a world without art! You may think “So
what?" but please consider the impact that (3)_______________________ would have on your favourite
video game. Art stimulates different parts of our brains tx) (4)_______________________ or incite us to riot,
with a whole gamut of emotions in between. Art gives us a way to be (5)_______________________ and
express ourselves. For some people, art is the entire reason they get out of bed in the morning. You
could say 44Art is something that makes us more thoughtful and well-rounded humans.,f
On the other hand, art is such a large part of our everyday lives that we may hardly even stop to
think about it Look at the (6) where you are, right this minute. Someone designed
that It is art Your shoes are art Your coffee cup is art All (7)_______________________, well done, is art
So, you could say 44Art is something that is both (8)_______________________ to our eyes.”
Thirdly,...
18
- -Passage 18
... Finally, one of the primary purposes of art is to (1)_______________________ at hand. Subject
matter does not change all that much over time. Although new subject matter has been evolved, the
human condition, (2) , and events still continue to capture the attention of artists.
The media used have changed relatively little; though new materials have appeared in this centuiy,
(3) continue to be used. Nor can we say that the quality or artistic merit of art
works has increased or lessened with time. However, throughout the course of history as society has
changed, so also has the (4)________________________• A portrait executed in 1900s could rarely be
confused with one done in the 1600s. Even landscape is reinterpreted in the context of a changing
world. Each work is an expression of the subject in the context of (5)________________________, and
events of its specific era.
OK. I have briefly outlined some important and prevalent purposes of art for you. I am sure you
now have a better understanding about art and its (6)_______________________ . Next time, we shall talk
about art and...
Passage 19
Now, about France in World War II. In this period of time, ominous (1)
began in Germany and Italy. The Germans reclaimed Alsace-Lorraine in 1936, and invaded Poland in
1939. Because Britain and France had (2) with Poland, they were forced to
declare war on Germany. France was overconfident of its famed Maginot Line, a fortified wall
stretching across Alsace-Lorraine; the Gentians approached from Belgium, surrounded it and seized it
handily. In 1940, (3)_______________________ collapsed, and Paris was taken without a fight. The country
was divided into an occupied zone and an unoccupied zone, with its seat of government in Vichy. A
famous World War I general, Henri Philippe Petain, was made leader, and the Vichy government was
later judged to have collaborated with the Nazis. General Charles de Gaulle, the Under-secretary of
State for National Defense, had fled to Londoa He organized (4) to support the
FYee FYench in their resistance effort When the Allies landed in FYench North Africa in 1942, (5)
___________________ marched into the unoccupied zone. Two long years later, the Allies finally got a
foothold on the beaches of Normandy, June 6, 1944, and entered (6) in 1944.
Allied commander Dwight Eisenhower very diplomatically allowed FYench troops to enter the city first,
to riotous cheers, heartfelt embraces, and unashamed tears.
Passage 20
There are two basic sorts of visual perspective—aerial perspective and linear perspective. Aerial
perspective—and “aerial” just means “air” or “(1)________________________' not your view from an
airplane! 一aerial perspective is the way that the atmosphere affects (2)_______________________ , especially
distant things. I won^t try to go into the laws of physics that are involved here, but it is aerial
perspective that makes a mountain in the distance appear to be a different color, that makes it seem
hazier—less distinct—than closer objects. These are effects that (3)_______________________ attempt to
19
- -reproduce carefully. And impressionists also use it to create their own special effects. Just think of
many of Turner’s landscapes—or cityscapes like his 44 Dido Building CarthageM_ to get an idea of how
the air can affect what we see.
The other perspective, linear perspective, is the way that things seem to get smaller the farther
away they get. A classic example of this is the way we perceive (4)_______________________or a line of
telephone poles running away from us. They seem to get smaller and smaller as they recede—until
they vanish in a point on the horizon—and this point is appropriately called M(5)_______________________'
This effect happens whenever there are (6)_______________________, like the two train tracks, or the tops
and bottoms of the telephone poles.

Passage 26
At school and at work, I have noticed that people have different kinds of work habits. Some peo
ple are collaborators, who like to work (1)_______________________. They find that doing a project with
someone else makes the job more pleasant and the load lighter. Collaborators (2)
unless they are forced to. A second category I have noticed is the advice seeker. An advice seeker
does the bulk of her work alone, but (3) for advice. When this worker has
reached a crucial point in her project, she may show it to her classmate or co-worker just to get an
other opinion. Getting the advice of others makes this worker (4) about her pro
ject as it takes shape. Another type of worker I have noticed is the slacker. A slacker tries to
(5)______________________ whenever possible. If he seems to be busy at the computer, he is probably
playing a game online. And if he is writing busily, he is probably making his grocery list. Slackers will
do anything except the work they are paid to do. The frnal type of worker is the loner. This type of
worker prefers working alone. This type of worker has confidence in his ability and is likely to feel
that collaboration is (6)_______________________. Loners work with others only when they are forced to.
Collaborators, advice seekers, slackers and loners have different work styles. But each knows the work
habits that help him or her to get the job done.
Passage 27
An ancient Greek philosopher once wrote that laughter is what makes us human—that it defines us
as (1) . Much more recent developments in biology and (2)_______________________
suggest that not only humans but also (3)_______________________ laugh; nonetheless, laughter is one of
the most important aspects of human social life and (4)_______________________. Laughter starts very soon
after (5)_______________________ —almost as soon as crying—and it serves many different (6)
functions, from sharing our joy to intimidating and insulting other people. In many parts of
the world, making other people laugh is considered a great gift, and (7)_______________________ has al
ways been a vital part of culture and art一perhaps precisely because of tiie complex, significant role of
laughter in everyday life.

tions to these problems. The first problem is (1)_______________________. Sometimes you spend a lot of
time researching your subject, but cannot devise (2)_______________________• You are doing a lot of
preparatory work, reading or gathering information, but you are unable to focus your ideas or come up
with a topic you think will be (3)_______________________. In cases like this, you can try making a
(4)_______________________ of your notes, or try to extract from your information those aspects of your
subject which interest you most Have a look at some other examples of research (5)_______________________.
26
- -Remember that you can change yoiir chosen topic later if necessary. It’s often better to make a start
with something (6)_______________________, rather than not make a start at all. The second problem is…
Passage 29
To guide you through the practice, let's start with the basic questions about abstract. First of all,
what is a descriptive abstract? A descriptive abstract is the (1)_______________________ you have already
completed or work you are proposing. It is not the same thing as the introduction to your work. The
abstract should give readers a short, concise (2)_______________________ as a whole—not just how it
starts. Remember that the readers of your abstract will sometimes (3)_______________________ , so in this
short document you need to give them (4)_______________________ of your work. If you are writing an
abstract as a proposal for your research—in other words, as a request for permission to write a pa
per—the abstract serves to predict the kind of paper (5)_______________________. Secondly, what's differ
ent about a conference paper or informative abstract? A conference abstract is one you submit to have
your paper considered for (6)_______________________ at a professional conference. Its length will be
specified by the conference organizer but will rarely be more than 500 words...
(^Passage 30
There are a few differences in the organization of memorandums and letters. Memorandums and
letters differ somewhat in (1)_______________________ . “To” and “Froni” replace a letter’s inside address
and (2)________________________, for example. Further, letters are usually sent outside the organization,
while memorandums are usually internal messages. As internal messages, memorandums tend to be
more informal, and (3)_______________________ than their letter counterparts. One survey of 800 business
people showed they spent from (4) of their time writing memorandums. There
must be a lot of executives overwhelmed by the number of memorandums they receive. As a result,
competition for (5)_______________________ places importance on directness and clarity in memorandums.
So perhaps even more so than with letters. Memorandums should start with (6)
early in the message. Memorandums also need special (7) : keep paragraphs short,
much like newspaper articles. Computers increasingly aid mid- and upper-level managers who prepare
their own memorandums without (8)_______________________. If you prepare your own correspondence, re
alize the importance of dating your messages. Knowing precisely when...

TEM- 8 听力考试的第一部分MINI-LECTURE是由一个约900个单
词的讲座和一项填空任务组成。要求考生先边听边做笔记,然后完成填空
任务。共 15题。
《英语专业八级考试大纲》要求考生能够听懂有关政治、经济、历史、
文化、教育、语言文学、科普方面的演讲。由于讲座一般为独白或演讲,因

IT g H 抓主题、记实词
文章的开头和结尾部分通常是对讲座主题的介绍和总述,因此在听录音和记笔记的过程中要能够基本掌握文
章的结构特点,抓住主题和各分论点的内容。一般来说,讲座文章通常采用“总-分-总”的结构,因此显得中心突
出、结构清晰、层次分明。此外,(开头)主题、分论点或结论句中出现的关键性名词、动词和形容词等,或对某一亊物
特点的描述以及分述各点时的细节描述性词汇都是表达信息的主要载体。这些关键同多是基于整个主题要点及其
重要细节的实词。

inconsistency /inkan’sistansi/
is, in fact, the second skill I want to talk about today. n.
[5]Probably the most important piece of information in a lec 矛盾
ture is the title itself. If this is printed beforehand, the student
should study it carefully and make sure he is in no doubt about Its meaning. Whatever happens he
should make sure that he writes it down accurately and completely, A title often implies many of the
mgjor points that will later be covered in the lecture itself.
[61Be alert to the speaker’s emphasis through tone, gesture, repetition and illustration on the board. A
good lecturer, of course, often signals what is important or unimportant. [7]He may give direct signals
or indirect signals. Many lecturers, for example, explicitly tell their audience that a point is important
and that the student should write it down. It is worth remembering that most lecturers also give indi
rect signals to indicate what is important [8]They either pause or speak slowly or speak loudly or use
a greater range of intonation, or they employ a combination of these devices, when they say something
important Conversely, their sentences are delivered quickly, softly, within a narrow range of intonation
and with short or infrequent pauses when they are saying something which is incidental. It is, of
course, helpful for the student to be aware of this and for him to focus his attention accordingly.
Having sorted out the main points, however, the student still has to write them down. And he has
to do this quickly and clearly. In order to write at speed, try to develop a suitable system of mechan
ics: [91i〇t down words or phrases, not entire sentences: develop some system of shorthand and be con
sistent in its use; [10]leave out small service words; use contractions^ abbreviations and symbols.
Most students find it helpful to abbreviate. [ll)They also tiy to select only those words which give
maximum information. [12)Th('st' an* usually nouns, but sometimes verbs or adjectives. Writing only one
36
- -point on each line also helps the student to understand his notes when he comes tx> read them later.
An important difficulty is, of course, finding time to write the notes. If a student chooses the wrong
moment to write, he may miss a point of greater importance. Connecting words or connectives may
guide him to a correct choice here. [13)Those connectives which indicate that the argument is proceed
ing in the same direction also tell the listener that it is a safe time to write. “Moreover”,“ftirther-
more”, “also”,etc.,are examples of this. Connectives such as “however”,“on the other hand” or
“nevertheless” usually mean that new and perhaps unexpected information is going to follow. Therefore,
it may, on these occasions, be more appropriate to listen.
After taking notes, [14]review and reword them as soon as possible. Don^ just recopy or type with
out thought Reminiscing may provide forgotten material later. Rewrite incomplete parts in greater detail.
Fill in gaps as you remember points heard but not recorded, f 151 Arrange with another student to com
pare notes. Sharpen your note-taking technique by looking at other students* notes. How are they better
than your own? How are your notes superior? Compare the information in your notes with your own
experience. Don*t swallow everything uncritically. DonTt reject what seems strange or incorrect. Check it
out. Be willing to hold some seeming inconsistencies in your mind over a period of time. Make mean
ingful associations. Memorize that which must be memorized.
OK. In todays lecture, weVe discussed several skills that can help one in taking notes effectively.
In our next lecture, we’ll explore how to read effectively.

Learning How to Learn
Good evening. Today*s lecture is about the phrase ** learning 参考词汇
how to learn". I remember reading that learning how to learn is
associate /a’saujie丨t/ v/.使有联系
one of the best skills you can develop. That phrase "learning how

absolute /*aebsalu:t/fl.绝对的
and over in my mind and asked myself: “Do we have to learn

how to learn?** After thinking about it, [l]IVe realized that learning

Most of us associate learning as something difficult, something

at all. I think the biggest indicator that will tell you how much loop /lu:p/ v•(使)成环
you will learn is what makes you want to learn in the first place. compound /kam’paund/ w•使合成
I know that sounds pretty obvious, but that single factor is very exponentially /.ekspau'nenjall/

learn something,[21youTl only learn as much as you*re required 变
to—in other words the absolute minimum. [3]but if you want to humble /"hAmbl/ a. 谦虚的
learn something, the sky*s the limit.
torrent /torant/ /i.迸发
-39
-[4] There are some basic overall methodologies to learning.
[5] It really begins first with choosing the right subject. This is key. This choice alone can deter
mine how much you are willing to learn. You have to develop a love for learning and that becomes
really easy when you love the subject itself.
[6] After the right subject is chosen, then comes tlie education. When education comes to mind, we
tend to think of books, tapes, videos [7】but there’s one element that a lot of people seem to miss and
that element is the human being. People who are experts in any particular subject can filter through
everything and tell you the information you need to read, the actions you need to take, etxr., and by
doing so, can cut your learning curve in half. Thafs the whole logic behind mentors and their students.
[8]After thg knowledge 马ction. have to apply what you’ve learned. This stage is where
most people fall into a trap. They want to know everything before they take any sort of action. That^
the wrong mentality to have because by doing so, you effectively block yourself from the most impor
tant stage of learning, that is refinement. [91The stage of refinement is where the majority of learning
occurs because refinement acts as a filter to guide you to the knowledge you need to get again from
books, tapes, videos, people, etc., to further your learning experience. This puts you back to the second
stage, education which then leads to the third stage—appbcation, which leads again to the fourth stage,
refinement and on and on and on. This cycle is where the majority of learning takes place. After the
action is taken, they want to learn how to do more so the refinement is showing them what they need
to know and they go back to learning, applying what theyVe learned, refining, [10]in essence, loop
themselves from educate to apply to refine and as they do sot the knowledge plus experience starts
compounding on one another until their learning starts to grow exponentially. The refinement stage is
very important because that will determine whether or not you really learn because anybody can learn
something and apply it, but few will go the extra mile and get caught up in the cycle of learn to apply
to refine. Again, people who are knowledgeable about a subject can help you in the refinement stage
because you can ask exactly the questions you need and they can respond accordingly to give you the
exact knowledge you request. That's something books, tapes, and videos cannot do because those are
one sided conversations. You can further capitalize on asking people by leveraging those relationships tx>
ask for introductions to other people who are knowledgeable about the subject as well.
Now let's take a look at other factors crucial to learning.
flllFirst a humble attitude is critical to learning and is best applied when it comes to asking people
for information. Acknowledge the fact that you know little about the subject and that you wish to learn
and [121then ask people to help you and you will be amazed at the torrent of information that comes
pouring out from them. People will be less inclined to give out information to somebody who claims
they know a lot about the subject as opposed to those who are humble and willing to learn.
Secondly, listening. [131The majority of people love to talk about subjects they are knowledgeable
about and are more than willing to dish everything out, provided the other party is truly listening.
[141Thirdlyt experimenting. Don’t be afraid to mix things up when you apply what you’ve learned
because that in turn can point to an area of refinement you never knew existed. Experimenting shakes
things up and can even lead you to learning something that's never be known before! [15]Leaming be
gins with choosing the right subject, one that you, and you alone are truly interested in and I know
that sounds obvious, but people try to learn things that they are not interested in for reasons outside
themselves.
-40
-Generally speaking, it turns out learning is pretty easy, so long as you like the subject. When that
happens, you*ll realize that all that time you spent on it was actually time spent learning. It just didn’t
feel like it at all.

how you spend that time. If you always listen to music, perhaps also try: educational radio, positive
audio tapes or even totally quiet time. Use that quiet time for brain storming. Either think in your head
or even talk your ideas out loud. Bring a voice recorder. You could write a book via voice recorder
over time. Three, waiting in the car. If you find that you have a certain amount of “waiting time" in
your life, change how you perceive it. [lOjlnstead of」*waiting time’二you can instantly change it into

morning, everyone. In today-s lecture, I will tall< about
the skills required t o QTQ e t a QO 8 d job. Well, it is true that now
competition for employment is more so than ever. So it begs the
obvious question, r= o\v .Q o you stand out? There will be three main
points I will be discussing. They are academic, personal manage-
3ent, and teamwork skills. I will give you examples of these
skills, and reasons why these skills are important for you to get a
job.
First of all, academic skills. Academic skills are probably the
most important skill you will need to get a job. It is one of the
or the first thing an e3ployer looks forinan e3ployee. UlThey
are skills whichi give you the basic foundation to acquire, hold on
t OL and advance in a job, and to achieve the best results. Aca
demic skills can be furtherdividedinto three sub-groups: commu-nication, thinking, and leamin lcpQ skius.
【2 一 Qommunicati^l skills require you to understand and
s >T<: i 爸 g c ^ g AC: ^J l } ^ so! i l l > u-5: e ^s ; s-K! ir o 3 d u c t e d.
s or e a k
f 31 You must be a
good listener, and be able to understand things easily. One of th 卬
most important communicatin QO should be reading. You
should be able to comprehend and use written materialsincludin QrQ
things such as graphs, charts, and displays. One of the newest things we can add to communicatin QfQ
skills would be the Internet, since it is so widely used all around the world, t4jana rs' ence you should
have agood understanding of what it is and how to use it
Then, thinking skills. f51Thinkin QP criticany and acting logically to evaluate situatio5 will get you far
in your job. Thinking skills consist of things such as solving 彐 athesaucal problems, usin QTQ new technol-
ogy, instruments, tools, and information systems effectively. Some examples of these would be technol-
ogy, physical science, the arts, skilled trades, social science, and mucli more.
After that, leamin QO is very important for any job. fgFor example, if your company gets some new
sopware, y o; u 3i ^ *gi a rc! l >tr! -s! l e a r n h o o! u \ V s e J it quickly and effectively afterpfew tutorials. You
must continue doing this for the rest of your career. It is one thing that will always be usefulinany
situation, not just jobs.
The second m .^ o r job skill I want to&scuss is management skills.^ personal management skill is
the combination of astudesj skills, and behaviors required t o QO e t, keep, and progresson a job and Jo
achievethe best results. Personal management skills can be further dividedinto three sub- QTQ roups just
as academic skills, which are positive attitudes and behaviors, responsibility, and adaptability.
p s s v e attitudes and behaviors are also very important to keep a job.【8】Ypcmust h a v ^l QFb o o d self-
? wl s! «; 3: 芎 a oi o n g .Q; m 3; o. ^_ *5: y o! m * s Dr! l— £ 5C 1YOU must be honest, have inte2ri? and personal ethics. You 3ust
show your employer you are happy at what you are doing and have positive attitudes toward learning,
growth, and personal -D ealth. uolshow energy and persistence t o QO e t the job done, these can help you
t o QP e t promoted or a raise.
responsibility and adaptability are also essentialwesponsibEty is the ability to set goals and priori-
Uesinwork and personalEe. It is the ability to plan and manage time, money, and other resources to
achieve QO oals, and accountability for actions taken, fl 一一 While adaptability m eans having a positive atti,
tude toward changes in your job, and recognition of re AC pect for people-s diversity and individual differ-
ences. Creativity is also important You must have the ability to identify and suggest new ideas to get
the job aone.
【2】L*ast bul 031 二 ⑦ 艮 I want to emphasize teamwork skills.【13】wmploy tfl rs now focus on employees-
teamwork skills simply because teams can bring m ore talent experience, knowledge and skill to the
problem situation and teamwork can be more satisfying and morale boosting for people than working
alone. There are two reasons. First, team recommendations are 彐 ore likely to be carried out than re?
ommendations by an individual because people are more willing to support an effort that they have
helped to develop. Second, teams can react to a variety of problems that are beyond the technical
competence of anindividual, since teams can be composed of individuals cross aepjartment anadivision
lines. Teamwork skills are those skills needed to work with others co-operatively on a job and to
achieve the best results. You should show your employer you-re able to work with others, understand
and contribute to the organization's goals. Involve yourselfinthe group, make good decisions with oth-

your tho^}^ toward their comments. [151Be a leader not a loner in the group.
In conclusion, I would like to say that all these skills I have discussed are critical to getting and
keeping a job and to achieve the best results possible for you. Of these skills though academic skills
would be the most important skills you will learn, I think. So if you keep at these skills you will be

Different Types of Learning
Good morning, everybody. Today, I’m going to talk about 参 考 词 汇 : ^
learning.
Let*s start with the definition of learning. Then what is learn
i»t、(|uisitiun /•aekwi’zijan/n•习得
• /Vneintanans/ n. 保
ing? [l]We define learning as a process where a living being ex
periences certain relationships between events and is able to rec- 持
o^ni/A* an ass〇( iation between events, and as a consequence the trial and error 反复实验

living things can learn, even goldfish! operant A>perent/a•操控的
[3]There are two basic stages of learning: acquisition and
conditioning /kan'dijaniQ/ n. 条
maintenance. WIhmi an individual is first learning something, this is
件反射作用
called the acquisition stage. This stage of learning is not all or
raid /reid/ w.(突然)袭击
none; rather, it is usually gradual. You may have heard someone
tidbit /*tid.bit/ 口
use the phrase “trial and error.” [41〇nce armed with new
diminish /di’minijV vi••变少
information, an individual will act on the new information when it
demonstrate /demanstreit/ vt. ife
is appropriate. This is known as the maintenance stage. Learning
证
begins to plateau during the maintenance stage.
investigative /in’vestigeitiv/ a•调
Learning is done in four types: [5]Instrumontal learning, which
査的
is more commonly known as operant conditioning, classical condi
salivation /.saliVeiJan/ n•分 泌唾
tioning, non-associative learning, and social learning.

[5]Oj)eranl condiiioning is a fonn that may he very familiar to
slimulus /stimjulas/•剌激(物)
you if you have v\n- traiiu^l a dog. The majority of learning is
some form of operant conditioning. The simplest way to explain
responcleni /ri’spDndant/ a•有反
this type of learning is that behavior produces events. [6]An event 应的
ran be a rewarding experience or a negative exj)(Ti(»nc(\ As a re /in’VDlantari/ a•无意
sult of such events the behavior changes. A dog learns that his 识做的
behavior has consequences and that he can control what happens rt*nexi\*e /ri’fleksiv/ a•本能反应的

in those ways. [7]If yoiu* dog raids the garbage, he is rewarded by orient /*o:riant/ 砍 以.....为方向
this experience by getting tidbits of food, and is more likely to
habituation /.habitju'eijan/ n. 驯
repeat the behavior. Human beings are also products of this
化
learning. We learn from a young age that if we touch a hot stove,
prevalent ,prevalent/〇•普遑的
we’ll get burned. If we put on a raincoat, we’ll stay dry. This
/.tjimpaen’zi:/ /i•黑猓
form of learning is characterized by Thorndike's Law of Effect.
猩
The law states that if the consequence is pleasant the preceding
50
- -behavior becomes more frequent, whereas if the consequence is unpleasant, the behavior will diminish
and in some cases become extinct.
[8]Ql^ssical 丄 another form of learning that is increasing in popularity. This type of
learning results from learning that certain things go together. This learning was demonstrated by the
Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov. In an investigative experiment, Pavlov was able to demonstrate in
dogs that salivation could be started by non-food stimuli such as bells, buzzers, and tones. [91In his ex-
penmentSj he was able to show that dogs will salivate when they anticipate food. Thus he created an
unrelated stimulus, such as a bell, moments before giving the dog food. Soon the dogs learned that
when the bell rings, food is on its way, and thus they began salivating. Humans also learn through
classical conditioning. For example, we know that if it is cloudy, that rain is a possibility. Or when
something is burning on the stove, the fire alarm may go off. [lOlThis type of learning called clas^i-
cal conditioning because it was the first forni of learning demonstrated experimentally. f81It is also
sometimes called respondent conditioning, because the first step in changing a behavior due to this type
of learning, require involuntary or reflexive behaviors.
[ll]Non-associative learning is one of the most basic forms of leaiTdng. It is also called single event
learning. [12]ThisJ3pe of learning involvtvs kuiming that some events are unrelated and irrelevant. For
example, if a dog hears a noise, he may respond by perking up his ears. This response is called an
orienting response. If the noise is something which has no relevance to the dog, the dog will not re
spond when it hears this noise; however, the dog must first learn which noises are or are not relevant
This is known as habituation. One example of this might happen when you move to a house that is on
a busy street. The first night you may have trouble sleeping due to your increased awareness of the
sounds. [1310ver the next few days you will become habituati'd to Hs(、noises, and soon you won t
even notice they are there. Non-associative learning is learning that there are not always significant as
sociations between events.
Social learning is a form of learning that occurs as a result of being in social groups. In most ani
mals, this type of learning is only responsible for a small amount of behavior change. This type of
learning is most prevalent in animal forms similar to humans. Chimpanzees do a great deal of social
learning amongst their social group. [14]Chimps will learn how to use tools by watching older members
of the group manipulating those same tools. Humans are also extremely adept at social learning. We
learn from others how things are done. [15]Social learning occurs most frequently in a situation where
then* is somt' sort of social hierardiy or dynamic*.
To sum up briefly, today weVe discussed the definition of learning, the two stages involved in the
process of learning and the four types of learning. So now you must have a clear idea of what learn
ing is. I hope youVe enjoyed this lecture.

[8】Stori(、s can come tVom nearly anywhm、. Folk tales, myths, legends, history (csp(、( ially local
history), Indian stories, adventure yams and other story tellers are all sources of inspiration. A short
listing of collected stories is appended along with several examples of good stories.[⑴However, the
best sources of stories for good story tellers are their own exp(、r“、n(、、s. When inspiration and
opportunity unite, a story is ready to be bom.
No matter what the source, the best stories are those of which the story teller has some personal
experience or knowledge. This can be combined with other sources and a little practice to produce
the tale to be told. [10]When personal experience is the^base on which a story is built, the stoiy will

confidently forward to your place, stand, pause, relax, gather your thoughts and become part of your

your story. Try not to explain what you are about to do, instead choose a first sentence that will

movie in yoiir mind: [6]not only ran you li\c' your past ('xpc^rionco over and over again but also apply
to all your senses available or not in order to engrave what you would like to learn deeply upon your
heart.
According to the theory given above—the application of all senses in imagination, in this case you
are supposed to hear how sweet the woman asking for the coffee sounds, to see how lovely the
waiters smile look, to feel how hot the coffee is, to taste on the surface of your tongue the remaining
fragrance of the black coffee with a teaspoonful of sugar. It is pretty much similar to watching a
movie. The only difference between movie and imagination is that by watching a film, you only see
and hear what people do and say. Although that means, that 94.3% of all information is received, you
never know the coffee is hot and the perfume smells nice unless the woman or the waiter tells you
how hot and how nice. Every time, someone offers you a cup of coffee, you might replay "Please, and
with a teaspoonful of white sugar in it Thank you.'* Although you may prefer no sugar in it, it just
somehow becomes an instinctive reaction. Whenever familiar signals received, you respond naturally
without even thinking about the answer. That is how people acquire their first and second language
since very early age.
[TJTTiere are few other techniques to enhance the imaginative effect, such asf magnifying, minifying,
exaggerating and etc. [8]Although they are closely related to development of imagination, they are Joo
professional to be included here.
[9】According to the definition of dream by FkmkI, dream is the combination of living experience
and imagination. [10]We can see that imagination is a part of dream. We just proved how imagination
works with English study through five senses. Now let us concentrate on the living experience which
takes another part in dream. Literally speaking, living experience is actually nothing more than what
you have experienced. [ll]As long as oiu* could nMiuMnln'i* things, \w (ommenced to accumulate his
own experience.
We have already known that dreams consist of imagination and living experience of both past and
presence. That living experience is the collection of memories; that through five senses imagination can
greatly improve English study. However, there is a slight difference between imagination in a dream
and that in fantasy, the former being controllable by consciousness while the latter by sub-consciousness.
58
- -In another words, one can not manipulate his dream; but he can take firm hold of everything in his
fantasy. Thus, your imagination runs freely with your sub-consciousness while it can be manipulated by
your consciousness.
Here comes a review: [12]firstly, English study can be enhanced by imagination through five senses.
Secondly, living experience is merely the collection of your own memories of what you have been
through since the day you could remember things. Thirdly, dream is composed of imagination and living
experience of both past and presence. [13]Fourthly, the difference between dream and fantasy is that
dream goes with sub-consciousness in which imagination can run free) and fantasy matches with
consciousness in which imagination can be controUed.
Putting the conclusions above together, [141we can find out that with a good preparation of living
experience concerning English you would like to leamt [151 with a conversion from the English material
into vivid imagination in J^our mind, you can have a dream in English language as depicted at the
outset of this lecture.

to develop an advertising campaign is: “Whom are we trying to

[41Adveitisers analyze advertising targets to develop an
appetizing/*aepitaizn]/fl.开胃的
information base for a campaign. Information that is commonly implementation
needed includes the location and geographic distribution of the /.implimen’teijan/n. 彻
target group; the distribution of age, income, race, sex, and personnel /.p3:sa’nel/ n. 人亊部门
education; and consumer attitudes regarding the purchase and use
both of the advertisers products and of competing products. The exact kinds of information that an
organization will find useful depend on the typ>e of product being advertised, the characteristics of the
advertising target, and the type and amount of competition.
Generally, the more advertisers know about the advertising target, the more able they are to
develop an effective advertising campaign. When the advertising target is not precisely identified and
properly analyzed, the campaign has less chance of success.
[51Now le^s come to the second step: creating the advertising platform. By advertising platform, we
mean the basic issues or selling points that an advertiser wishes to include in the advertising campaign.
【6】A market^r’i advertising platform should consist of issues that are important to consiuners. [7]
One of _the^ best ways to determine what those issues are Js to survey consumers to learn what they
consider most important in the selection and use of the product involved. The selling features must not
-61
•only be important to consumers; if possible, they should also be features that competitive products do
not have.
A media plan sets forth the exact media to be used, specific magazines, television stations,
newspapers, and so forth, and the dates and times that the advertisements will appear. [8]To formulate
a media plan, the planner selects the media for a campaign and draws up a time schedule for each
medium. The media planner's primary goal is to reach the largest number of persons in the advertising
target per dollar spent on media.
Media planners begin by making rather broad decisions; eventually, however, they must make very
specific choices. A planner first must decide which kinds of media to use. The m^yor kinds are radio,
television, newspapers, magazines, direct mail, outdoor displays, and mass transit vehicles. After making
the general media decision, the planner selects specific categories within each medium. A toothpaste
marketer, for example, might decide to use television and magazines. The marketer then must consider
whether to use children^, women*s daytime, family, and/or late-night adult television programming and
whether to use men’s, women’s, teen-agers’,children’s, and/or general audience magazines. Finally, the
planner must select the specific media vehicles. Having chosen family television programs and women's
magazines, the toothpaste marketer, for instance, must select the exact television programs and stations
as well as the specific womens magazines to be used.
[9】Media planners take many factors into account as they prepare a media plan. They analyse the
location and demographic charart( listi( s of people in the advertising target, since the various media
appeal to particular groups of people in particular locations. For example, there are radio stations
especially for teenagers, magazines for men in the 18 to 34 age group, and television programs aimed
at adults. Media planners also should consider the sizes and types of audiences reached by specific
media. Several data services collect and periodically publish information about the circulation and
audiences of various media
[10]The cost of media is an important hut troublesome consi(l(*rati〇n. Planners try to obtain the best
coverage possible for each dollar spent. Yet there is no accurate way of comparing the cost and impact
of a television commercial with the cost and impact of a newspaper advertisement.
[lllThe content of the message sometimes affects the choice of media Print media can be used more
effectively than broadcast media to present many issues or numerous details. If an advertiser wants to
promote beautiful colors, patterns, or textures, then media that offer high-quality color reproduction
magazines or television should be used instead of newspapers. For example, food can look extremely
appetizing and delicious in a full-color magazine advertisement, but it might look far less so in black
and white.
[12]/[131The execution of an advertising campaign requires an ( amount of planning and co-
ordinatioa Regardless of whether an organization uses an advertising agency, a large number of people
and firms are involved in the execution of a campaign. Production companies, research organizations,
media firms, printers, and commercial artists are just a few examples of the types of people and orga
nizations that contribute to a campaign.
[14]Implementation requires detailed schedules to ensure that various phases of the^work are done
on limr. [ lo]Advertising management personnel must evaluate the quality of the work and make im
provements when necessary. In some instances, changes have to be made during the campaign to make
it more effective in meeting campaign objectives.

First of ail, what is the rhetoric. [1]According to the dictionary,
rhetoric /Vetank/ u•修辞
rhetoric refers to tfie art of using words effectively in speaking or

Ix'romin^ ( oininon today to talk of the “rhetoric” pf visual art—the means at its disposal to contribute
to meaning. This doesn't mean that we can pay any less attention to language. In fact, since we will be
using fewer words and coordinating those words with visual and other nonverbal elements, it is important
that we use language as effectively as possible.
To sum up what we have discussed today, in this lecture, we mainly concentrated on the
development and evolution of rhetoric. After tliat, we have presented you with the underlying reasons
of why people are beginning to pay attention to rhetoric again nowadays. I hope at this time with the
overwhelmed computer power, this would recall peopled attention on the correct use of language and
the polishing of their words. One of the aims of this mini-lecture is to encourage you to pay attention
to what surrounds, supports and modifies verbal meaning.

who have that certain something that makes us feel comfortable

you follow the skills, they wiU help you put people at their ease, component /kampaunant/ n.
make them feel secure, and comfortable, and turn acquaintances (组)成(部)分
into friends. astonishment /a'stomj mant/ n.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. [l]/[2]Almost anyone,
惊讶
no matter how shy, will answer a question. In fact, according to imagery Amid3ari/ ii•意象
my observation, very shy persons are often more willing to
unanimated Mn’aenimeitid/ a•无
answer questions than extroverts. They are more concerned that
生气的
someone will think them impolite if they don’t respond to the
glare /glee/ w. (〇/)怒 B 而视
questions. [3]So most skillful conversaUon^ists recommend starting
cement /si’ment/ w•使团结
with a question that is personal, hui not harmful. [4]For example*.
〇nc (j a famous American TV presenter got a long and fascinating interview from a notoriously pri\ai(k
billionaire by asking hini about his firetAnother example, one prominent woman executive
confesses that at business lunches, [5] “I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a dull
question, but it gets things going." From there, you can move on to other matters, sometimes to really
personal questions. Moreover, how your responder answers will let you know how far you can go. A
few simple catchwords like " Really?M 14Yes?M are clear invitations to continue talking.
[GjSecond, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen for answers. This point seems
obvious, but isn’t in fact. Making people feel comfortable isn’t simply a matter of making idle
68
- -conversation. Your questions have a point. YouYe really asking, “What sort of person are you?” and to
find out, you have to really listen. There are at least three components of real listening. For one thing,
real listening means not changing the subject. [7]If someone sticks to the topic, you can assimu* that
he or she is really interested in it. [8]Another component of real listening is listening not to just words
but to tones of voice. I once mentioned D. H. Lawrence to a friend. To my astonishment, she launched
into an academic discussion of the imagery in Lawrence’s works. Midway through, I listened to her
voice. It was, to put it mildly, unanimated, and it seemed obvious that the imagery monologue was
intended solely for my benefit, and [9]I quickly changed the subject. At last, real listening means [10]
using your eyes as well as your ears. When yoiir gaze wanders, it makes people think they*re boring
you, or what they are saying is not interesting. Of course, you don't have to stare, or glare at them.
Simply looking attentive will make most people think that you think theyYe fascinating.
Next, good talkers are not afraid to laugh. If you think of all the people you know who make you
feel comfortable, you may notice that all of them laugh a lot. [lllLaughter is not only wanning and
friendly, it s also a good way to ease oth(»r |KM)|)h» s (iiscomfort. I have a friend who I ei\joy watching
in gatherings of other people who do not know each other well. The first few minutes of talk are a bit
uneasy and hesitant, for the people involved do not yet have a sense of each other. Invariably, a light
comment or joke is made, and my friend's easy laughter appears like sunshine in the conversation.
There is always then a visible softening that takes place. [12]Other people smile and loosen in response
to her laughter, and the conversation goes on with more warmth and ease.
[13】FinaUy. good talkers are ones who cement a parting, that is, they know how to make use of
parting as a way to leave a deep impression on others. Last impressions are just as important as first
impressions in determining how a new acquaintance will remember you. People who make others really
feel comfortable take advantage of that parting moment to close the deal. [141Men have had it easier.
They have done it with a smile, and a good firm handshake. What about women then? tlu、
last several^ears, women have stalled lo take over that custom as well between themselves or with
men. If youVe saying goodbye, you might want to give him or her a second extra hand squeeze. It*s a
way tx> say, I really er\joyed meeting you. But it*s not all done with body language. If you’ve ei\joyed
being with someone, if you want to see that person again, don*t keep it a secret. Let people know how
you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if theyVe known you half their life.
Okay, just to sum up. Today, we’ve talked about four ways to make people feel at ease in
conversations. These skills are important in keeping conversations going, and in forming friendships
later on. Of course, these skills are by no means the only ones we can use. The list is much longer. I
hope you will use these four skills, and discover more on your own in your conversations with other
people.

exactly what starts a tornado, [6]but it certamly_ha^M_j^en gramophone /graemafaun/ n. ffl
extremely hot, moist air meets cold, dry air. When two kinds of # 机
air try to pass each other, they get locked together, and the hot torrential /torenjal/ a•似急流的
air spirals upward more and more quickly until it may be whirling
round at between 400 and 500 meters per hour. Tornado season is generally March through August,
although tornadoes can occur at any time of year. [7]They tend to occur in the afternoons and
evenings: over 80 percent of all tornadoes strike between noon and midnight. Tornadoes do a vast
amount of damage, even though they seldom last for more than an hour or two. [8]The speed of the
whirling air makes (jiiitc small things such as grains of sand into dangerous weapons. Once in America
a com cob picked up by a tornado was shot through a horse's skull and killed the horse. [9]The hot
air spiraling upward sucks (、v(、i)thing in its path, rather as a vacuum (.h、am、i,does. [10]Tomadoes have
Ihhmi known to tear steel bridges from their foundaiions. i〇 uproot "ves, and to lift trains off
their lines. People and animals have been lifted and carried some distances; a horse, for example, was
once picked up, carried 2 miles, and put down again unhurt.
[11]A waterspout is a tornado that happens over sea. The whirling air sucks up water, and the
waterspout moves along with a hissing, roaring, crashing noise. Sometimes tiny fishes are caught up,
and their scales make the whirling column sparkle. When a waterspout passes from sea to land it
becomes a tornado.
Hurricanes are even more terrible than tornadoes. Nowhere are they more terrible and more
frequent than in the West India, and the name “hurricane" comes from the name of the West Indian
god of storms, Hiinraken. [12]They are called tropical cyclones in India, tyi^hoons in China and Japan,
-72
-and willy-willies in northern Australia. Hurricanes begin over tropical oceans in late summer. August and
September are peak months during the hurricane season that lasts from June 1 through November 30.
Hot, moist air rises as if in a chimney, perhaps over a tropical islet. It gets pulled by the turning of
the Earth into a whirling movement, faster and faster until it is like an enormous thick gramophone
record of air whirling madly round as it moves across the sea at between 12 and 24 miles per hour.
[13]Humcane winds blow in a large spiral around a relative calm center laiown as the “eye". The
Meye,f is generally 20 to 30 miles wide, and the storm may extend outward 400 miles. As a hurricane
approaches, the skies will begin to darken and winds will grow in strength. [141As a hurricane nears
land, it can bring torrential rains, high winds, and storm surges. Many hurricanes never reach land but
die out over the tropical oceans, having perhaps moved as much as 1800 miles during their life of 9 to
25 days. Those that reach land die swiftly, for they need the heat and moisture of ocean air. But
before dying they cause terrible destruction. They flatten trees and buildings, flood everything with the
torrential rain they bring with them, [15]and sometimes create enormous waves which sweep inland
over sea walls and harbors. In a terrible typhoon in Japan in 1934, over 4000 people were killed and
ships were lifted over sea walls into the streets. Hurricanes are given names, always feminine ones
such as Besty or Alice. The first of the season is given a name beginning with A, the second with B,
and so on. Hurricanes in some years have reached Janey or Katy.
OK, that is all for this session. Thank you!

【解析】此题说的是3 种风暴的共性,录音提到,龙卷风、海龙卷和飓风都只在一定区域发生,因此答案为in
certain areas或 in some areas若笔记没有记录,可根据下文推测,录音原文分別提到Tornadoes happen
in the tropics over land、A waterspout is a tornado that happens over sea,以及 Hurricanes begin
over tropical oceans...,由此可知这3 种风暴的发生不是在全世界范围,而只是在某个特定的区域

tearing,答案为uprooting and lifting听音时要记下关键动词〇
11• 【答案】 over sea
【解析】此题i并述的是第二种风暴waterepout录音中提到“海龙卷是在海域发生的龙卷风",因此答案为
over s e a 注意答案是over sea,切不可因为粗心大意而写成overseas,笔记时应注意这一点。

Why We Don’t Like English Classes
Good afternoon. Welcome to attend today’s lecture on why 参考词汇
we don’t like English classes. It’s well known that English class
automatic /.o:taVnaetik/ a•自动的
es are the most popular way in which people study English.
[1 IThey are so amazingly popular that most people do not even pronunciation /pra.nAnsi'eiJ dn/

classes are a very poor way of learning English. We have spent a motivation /.mauti'veij an/ n. 积
large part of our lives in English classes and we know what they

are like. With all our knowledge of English classes and courses,
input /input/ u•输人
we would be surprised if we met a person who has learned to
summarize /*SAmaraiz/ w•总结
speak English very well by going to English classes.
[41If you attend English classes, you spend many hours a week on them. Often, you also spend lots
of your money. What do you get for your time and money? Here is what you can do at an English
class:
Listen to some bad English. The pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary of other students will be
bad. Surely listening to these people will not make your English better.
Say five sentences in English. There are usually 10-20 students in the class, so there is little time
for you to speak English. [51 Normal English classes are very poor speaking practice.
Read a boring textbook. Almost all English teachers use textbooks. Want to know why? [6]Because
it makes their work easier. They donTt have to prepare for every class. They just do the next unit in
the book. [61Textbooks make teaching easy. And they make learning boring and ineffective. You have to
75
- -read stupid stories about Michael Jackson or a woman who lived in the African jungle for two years.
Then you have to answer questions about them and talk about them with other students. This is
madness! All this nonsense that you don*t care about makes you think that learning English is boring.
Listen to a few grammar rules, such as "the present continuous tense is used for talking about
developing and changing situations”. Learning grammar rules is the stupidest thing you can do. Here
are the two main reasons. First, [7]it is impossibh4 to memorize all th〇s(' hundn'ds of grammar rules
anyway. And second, when speaking English, you don’t have time to think: “What tense should I use?
Let^s see... I want to present the idea of action continuing up to the present time, so I should use the
present perfect tense." You want to use your English naturally. [8]Gramniar rules may improve your
scores in tests, but they do not improve your English.
[9]Do some grammar exercises. After talking about grammar rules, teachers usually give you some
exercises, such as multiple choice or gap filling tests. Grammar exercises have two functions: one, they
make you repeat the grammar rules; two, they test your English. The first function is useless because
grammar rules are useless. The second function, testing, is okay if you want to compare your knowl
edge with other people. But testing does not teach you any English.
[10|Get a homework assignment. The homework is usually a grammar exercise or a composition.
The subject of the composition will usually be something that you don’t care about. Doing boring
things is not going to help your English. It will only decrease your motivation.
[ll]In addition, English classes will not teach you good pronunciation. Most teachers completely
ignore it, sometimes because their own pronunciation is bad. Some teachers will correct your mistakes
when you speak. [12】But veiy few teachers will tell you how you can avoid making the same mistakes
again. Very few teachers will tell you about the sounds of English and how to use a dictionary to
learn about the pronunciation of words. Most teachers will not encourage you tx) read in English, to
buy a good English-English dictionary, to listen to English-language recordings. They will just do their
textbook and the exercises in it. If your teacher is different, you are lucky. This is what most English
classes look like. Think about your classes. If they are like that—boring and ineffective—then you are
simply wasting your time. Don?t worry: you are not alone. Millions of people around the world waste
their time by going to English classes.
\V)\To solve these problems, you can rephu c* inrliVciive and boring classcvs with int(*n sting things
which will really improve your English:
Instead of listening to bad English in the classroom, turn on your TV and watch CNN International
or another English-language channel. You will get lots of perfect sentences in excellent English.
Instead of sitting for two hours to say five sentences in English, [14)sign up for a conversation
class with a native speaker. Or start speaking English with your best friend.
Instead of working with a boring textbook, read something interesting. There are so many
interesting texts in English! Surf to English-language sites on the Web. Read a good book in English.
Simply, read something that interests you. Something that won*t bore you to death.
Instead of memorizing grammar rules and doing grammar exercises, read and listen to English. [15]
Input is the only way to learn impressive, natural English.
Instead of writing compositions about the subject that your teacher gave you, write about
something that you care about. For example, write some e-mail in English. Don't write for your
teacher—write for yourself!
-76
-To summarize, weVe covered some reasons to explain why students don*t like English classes and
provide you with specific solutions. Hope these suggestions will be of great help to you. Thank you.

brief introduction of non-verbal communication. My lecture is
composed of three parts. Definition of non-verbal communication, non-verbal a•非语言的
dimensions of non-verbal communication and impression formation compose /kam’pauz/ w.组成
and management of nonverbal communication. interpersonal /.intapaisanal/ a.
Now, first of all, how do you define non-verbal communica 人际的
tion? Communication is generally defined as having both a verbal synchronize /sinkronaiz/ v. M 时
and nonverbal component. Whereas verbal communication often 发生
refers to the words we use in communication, nonverbal commu attractiveness /a'traektivnis/ n.
吸引力
nication refers communication that is produced by some means
other than words: eye contact, body language, or vocal cues, for credibility /.kredi’biliti/ /i•可靠性
example. The five primary functions of Non-verbal Behavior are: territory /teritari/ /i.领域
1. [llExpression (rfJ?rn〇tion—⑵emotions are expressed mainly collectivist /kalektivist/o•集体主

4. Self-Presentation—presenting oneself to another through

nonverbal attributes like appearance.

5. [4]Rituals—the use of greetings, handshakes or other rituals.
elicit /I’lisit/ w. 诱出
Secondly, let's talk about traditional dimensions of nonverbal
communication. There are mainly six dimensions of nonverbal configuration /kan.figa reijan/ n.
communication. 结构,外貌
No.l Physical Appearance—Appearance messages are generally interval /intaval/ n.间隔
the first nonverbal messages received and [5]can be used to routine /ru:’ti:n/ n•惯例
develop judgments about people based on how they look, what orientation /.oinan'teijan/ « . 方
they wear, and their level of attractiveness, among other things 向
Physical attractiveness impacts how people perceive others as likeability /.laika’biliti/ u•疼爱
similar to themselves and is used to evaluate credibility and assertiveness /a’s3:tivnis/ /!• ft 信
general attractiveness.
stereotype /"steriataip/ n. 陈规
No.2 Territory and Personal Space—Personal space refers to
micro-expression /i. 激表悄
the space an individual maintains around him or herself, while [6]
macro-expression /i•宏观表情
territory is a larger area an individual controls that can provide
decode /.difkaud/ v•译解
privacy—for example, an office or a specific chair in the confer
ence room. Invading another^ territory may cause that person discomfort and the desire to defend his
or her space by turning away or creating a barrier, for example. Culture can influence the way that in
dividuals use space. Individualist societies like the United Stales emphasize personal rights and respon
sibilities, privacy, and freedom, whereas more collectivist societies emphasize community and collabora
tion.
No.3 [7]Facial Expressions—The most important non-verbal channel for expressing attitudes and
emotions to other people is the face. Researchers have attempted to categorize facial expressions that
express emotion and typically agree on six: happiness, surprise, fear, sadness, anger, disgust/contempt.
No.4 [8]Gestures and Postures—Gestures and postures are frequent and continuous movements of
the body that reflect individual thought processes and regulate communication. For body language to be
interpreted as positive and genuine, it is important that it appear to be natural. Lewis suggests
individuals stand erect and walk with shoulders back and stomach in. This helps communicate a
message of self-confidence, awareness, and enthusiasm.
No.5 Touch (Tactile Communication)—People believe that the most basic meaning of touch is that
an interpersonal bond is being offered or established. While touch can be used for consolation, support,
and congratulations depending on the relationship, touch is often culturally regulated in organizations
meaning it may be regulated to behaviors such as handshakes. Touch, like any other communication
message, may elicit negative and positive reactions depending on the configuration of people and the
circumstances.
No.6 Time—The way an individual talks about or uses time can communicate much nonverbal
information about him or her. Individuals may view time as the location or duration of events, the
interval between events, or as patterns of intervals, routines or cycles of behavior. Individuals may also
80
- -have differing psychological time orientations that influence how they think about and perceive time in
their daily lives. [9]Individuals may be more past-orientedr using tlu、j)iLst to shape the present, or
future-oriented, working towards tomorrow. Individuals can also be present-oriented, living mostly for
today. Culture can play a role in determining time orientation, so it is important to be aware of these
differences and their potential impact on communication.
The third part of my talk is about impression formation and management of nonverbal communi
cation. [lQIImpression management is an individual^ conscious attempt at control over communication
behaviors and cues for the purposes of making a desired impression often with nonverbal communica
tion. There are two functions important for impression management: 1) [1 "Presentational function,
which means consciously trying to control the impn\ssi〇M lu slu* makes on the person with whom he/
she is communicating with, and 2) [ 12]Affect management, which means consciously controlling your
e:
motional response. The impressions we make on others are subsequentiy defined by four dimensions:
[13]credibi]ity—how competent iuul tnistworthy you are, likeability—that another will judge you likable,
interpersonal attractiveness, and dominance—showing power and assertiveness. The kind of person you
are judged to be is influenced more by nonverbal than verbal cues. When we make judgments about
others we typically give disproportionate weight to nonverbal behaviors and cues than to their actions,
for example, looking at their posture to judge their level of self confidence. Factors that influence the
impressions we form about other people: a) [14]Stereotypes tha^ we hold about individuals that be
long to certain groups; b) First impressions that might affect all subsequent perceptions and may be
resistant to change; c) [15]Selective perceptions whereby we pay attention to things that are consistent
with our own past experiences and concerns; and d) Last impressions in which we disproportionately
weigh the influence of an individual^ most recent action or our last contact with the individual.
O K I have outlined the six aspects of non-verbal communication and how non-verbal communication
affects our image and impression. In our next lecture, we shall discuss the micro-expression and macro
expression, two concepts central to decoding human behaviors.

Five Things for College Graduates to Know
Hi, everyone. My name is David Owen. Today’s lecture will 参 考 词 汇 ;
focus on what every college grad should know. I felt obligated to
grad /graed/ /i. 毕业生
let you, college students, know what things to look out for when
you graduate so you don’t get railroaded. I will not waste your obligated /.Dbli’geitid/a•有责任的
time with a long introduction, so without further ado, I present to clone /klaun/ /i. 复制品
you: 5 things every college grad should know. mortgage /Vn3:gid3/ it•抵押
(l)First of all, you have to understand: a degree does not en
dependent /di’pendant/ /i.依靠
title you to a job. It’s amazing to hear recent college graduates
bleak /bli:k/ a•没有希望的
get so worked up about not being able to find a job. Here comes
co-worker n. 同亊
the tough love that you know is coming. Just because you got a
frat /fraet/ n. 兄弟会
degree, it doesn’t entitle you to a job. It’s time to get your head
doorstep AJo:.step/;i•门阶
out of the sand. The days when all you needed was a college de
fodder /*foda/ n. 饲料
gree to get a job are long gone. Deep down inside, you know it*s
true. Think back to your graduation. Remember your fellow class
mates graduating with you? They too got degrees. Now, think of the thousand other graduations across
the nation that occurred in the same month. They got degrees too. What’s going to separate you from
them? Why should employers hire you instead of all the other clones? [21 You must learn to differentiate
yourself. What can you offer that these other people can’t? It’s not enough to put your future in the
hands of an educational institution. [3】It’s time to stop blaming the world. It’s time to take personal re
sponsibility, [4]and to have the courage to shape your future with your own hands.
Secondly, please make sure to find what you love to do. The time you have after college is the
time to find what you love to do. [5]You are not burdened with the heavy responsibilities of a
family, or dependents. You’ll most likely move back home or room with a buddy. Use that
time to find what you love to do. [6]Don’t put it off. [7]Otherwiset you may fall into the trap of getting
- 83
-a job just to get 如 and into a routine. I’m not saying it’s bad to get a job just to get by, but if
that is all you are doing, and if you don^t have a goal, plan, or passion, to shoot for, the future looks
very bleak for you.
Aside from your job, you are also required to learn how to interact with people. [8]Leaming how
to interact with people is probably one of the most valuable skills you can have in your belt. This is a
“street smart” skill. Sure there are books on this, but the only way you can develop this skill is by
putting it into practice constantly until it becomes second nature. This skill will come into play when
you get your first job. Learn to make a habit of greeting people with a smile. [91Make small talk, get
to know your co-workers, help them when they have a problem. Eat lunch with them. Talk about the
TV shows you watch when youVe at the water cooler or about the cool blogs you visit on the net. [10)
Learn to be positive. Make people smile when they see you coming your way. You will find that the
skill of comfortably interacting with people will help you when it comes time for promotion. This will
also protect you from the next subject.
In addition, [ll]you have to know: Practice CYA,you know, cover your ass. Office politics—
yes, everything youVe heard is true. Office politics does exist and it is not pretty. When it comes to
downsizing, IVe seen employees turn on the quiet employee in the comer like a pack of wolves and
whisper to the managers that he or she must go. That^ why you should learn how to interact with
people. When it comes to personal differences between employees and managers, managers will look
for the smallest excuse to fire their employees. But even if you are the most charming employee ever,
you should stiU CYA. [12]Keep all emails. Back them up. Have everything in writing. [ 13]If a potential
problem 〇x situation comes up, document it as fully as you can. Don’t trust your memory. If someone
accuses you of something so bad that it could cost you your job, then you can calmly pull out all the
information you saved and effectively CYA.
[14]The last tWng is^ build and maintain a new social network. When you graduate, you’re not
going to be surrounded by your classmates and dorm buddies. The only people you will probably keep
in touch with are your roommates and your frat buddies or any other close friends you made, but they
will all be doing their own thing in different places. Building a social network is crucial. Studies have
shown that having a strong social network leads to positive mental and physical health over the course
of one’s life. So start building your social network. [15]Don’t just stay 辦 home and play video games
and expect friends to magically show up at your doorstep. Go to places where you have a genuine
interest and you will meet similar people there who share your interests, which is perfect fodder for
friendships.
Yn\ sure there are other things that every college grad should know, but I feel that the 5 discussed
here are some of the more important ones that should be made known. So college grads: Take person
al responsibility, find what you love to do, learn how to positively interact with people, always CYA,
and build a strong social network. By doing these things, you will find it to be extremely beneficial
and a worthwhile investment on your part.

How to Be an Expert
Hi, everyone. IVe been thinking lately, what makes someone 参 考 词 汇 ;
an “expert” in his or her field, which is also the topic of today’s
expertise /,eksp3:’ti:z/ /i•专门知识
lecture. As far as I know, Lorelle has been thinking the same
thing, because she recently wrote a post called What Gives You dissertation /.disa’teijan/ /i. 论文
the Right to Tell Me? at the Blog Herald that explores the issue counterinsurgency
86
- -of expertise in some depth.
/•kaunt8rin.s3:d3asi/ n .反暴动
[l]For me, tlus quesUon started to ^ccur to me when I was

invited to speak at an academic conference on anthropology
连通性
recently. Apparently, I have become an expert on the topic,
immense /iVnens/ a .巨大的
someone people look to when they want more information.
embed /im’bed/ w•嵌入
How did that happen? This is not a topic I studied at school
or the subject of my dissertation; in fact, it wasn’t even really a avenue /aevinju:/ n. 途径
topic at all until the US Army released their new counterinsurgen perpetual /pa'petjual/ a. 永恒的
cy field manual last year and started for operations in Iraq and preach /pri:tj/讨•竭力鼓吹
Afghanistan. Thinking about how I came to be a “goto” person schmuck /JmAk/ /i•笨蛋
on this topic has gotten me thinking about how anyone becomes
one-trick pony /i.只有种才能的
the person to call when you need help, about how people become
人
experts in their field. In fact, anyone who thinks they have
learned everything there is to know about a topic probably isn't an expert—Fd call them something
closer to “rank amateur”.
Let’s start with this question: What’s an expert? While knowledge is obviously an important quality
of expertise, its only one of several factors that make someone an expert in their field. [21Fve come
up with five characteristics of real experts: [7]/[9]knowledge, experience, communication ability connect
edness and curiosity. Now let’s come to them respectively in detail.
Clearly being an expert requires an immense working knowledge of your subject. [31Part of this is
memorized information, and [4]part of it is knowing where to find information you haven*t memorized.
In addition to knowledge, an expert needs to have significant experience working with that knowl
edge. [5JHe or she needs to be able to apply it in creative ways, [6]to be able to solve problems that have_no
pre-existing solutions they can look up—and to identify problems that nobody else has noticed yet.
[7]Expei1is(' without the ability i〇 communirato it is practically pointless. [8]Being the only person
in the world who can solve a problem, time after time after time, doesn^t make you an expert, it
makes you a slave to the problem. It might make you a living, but it’s not going to give you much
time to develop your expertise—meaning sooner or later, someone with knowledge and communication
ability is going to figure out your secret, teach it to the world, and leave you to the dustbin of histoiy.
[9lESxpertise ist ultimately, sociaL Experts are embedded in a web of other experts who exchange new
ideas and approaches to problems, and they are embedded in a wider social web that connects them
to people who need their expertise.
[10]Experts are curious about their field and reco^nizt* the* limitations of their own understanding of
it They are constantly seeking new answers, new approaches, and new ways of extending their field.
Then, let’s move on to this topic: How to become an expert? Sometimes becoming an expert just
kind of happens, which is how I became an expert in anthropology and counterinsurgency without real
ly trying. But most of the time, [lllwe carefully pursue expertise, whether through schooling, self-edu
cation, on-the-job training or some ojlier avenue. There’s no "quick and easy" path to expertise. That
said, people do become experts every day, in all sorts of fields. You become an expert by focusing on
these things:
Firstly, that is perpetual learning. [12lBeing an expert means being aware, sometimes painfully
aware』of the limitations of your current level of knowledge. There simply is no point as which you're
-87
-**doneM learning your field. Invest yourself in a lifelong learning process. Constantly be on the lookout for
ideas and views both within and from outside your own field that can extend your own understanding.
Then, build strong connections with other people in your field. Seek out mentors—and make your
self available to the less experienced. [13]Also, leani to promote yourself to the people who need your
skills—the only way you'll gain experi(Mu*(» is by getting out and doing, which is what^s we called net-
worldng.
Furthermore, not just in the **gain experience" sense but in your the "practice what you preach”
sense. You wouldn't trust a personal organizer who always forgot your appointments, or a search en
gine optimization expert whose site was listed on the 438th results page in Google, right? [14]Your dai
ly practice needs to reflect your expertise, or people will not trust you as an expert So, practice is
necessary.
The fourth thing is presentation skills: Learn to use whatever technologies you need to present your
expertise in the best possible way. And by “technologies" I don’t just mean web design and PowerPoint,
I mean writing, drawing, public speaking—even the way you dress will determine whether you're taken
for an expert or a know-it-all schmuck.
Lastly, remember to share: 10 years ago, nobody knew they needed expert bloggers on their staff
to promote themselves. 5 years ago, nobody knew they needed SEO experts to get attention for their
websites. A handful of early experts—experts that, in some cases, didn't even know what they were
experts in_ [15]shared enough of what they knew to make people understand why they needed experts.
Share your knowledge widely, so that people understand why they need an expert, and you don*t be
come a one-trick pony who is the only person who can fix a particular problem.
To sum up briefly, we’ve discussed what an expert is and how to become one. Hope all of you
have er\joyed this lecture. Thank you.

Controlling Your Concentration
Good morning, everyone. Today our topic is on how to con
trol your concentration. First of all, we have to look at definition 参考词汇
of concentration. Psychologically defined, concentration is the pro
span /spsen/ /i. —段时间
cess of centering one's attention over a period of time. In practi

cal application, however, concentration is not as simple to deal
successfully with as the definition may imply. For this reason, it
apparent /a’paerant/ a•敁然的
is helpful to keep the following points in mind.
intensity /in’tensiti/ w.强度
UlThe first point your attention span varies. Even with the
fade /feid/ w•(声音等)变傲弱
greatest effort, [Hour span of attention fluctuates. You can demon infrequent /in’fri:kwant/ 〇•不常的

fully and notice how the ticking increases in apparent intensity,

fades to a point where it cannot be heard, and then increases a
output /autput/ n•产出
gain. This phenomenon reveals how our span of attention fluctu exceptional /ik’sepjanal/ a 杰出的
ates, for the intensity of the ticking is actually constant.
hinder /*hinda/ w.阻碍
-90
-Secondly, you pay attention to one thing at a time. Evidence to date indicates that you attend to
one idea at a time. [2) It is possible for your attention to shift so rapidly that it seems that you attend
to several concepts at once. But apparently this is only an illusion. In high concentration the shift from
[3]/[4]the focus of attention is of short duration and relatively infrequent
Thirdly, [51 we will talk about levels of high, moderate, and low attention. High-level attention has
long periods of attending and short distraction periods. In low-level attention the periods of attending
are short and the distraction periods long. [6]In m〇d( rat(»-level attention, there is a mixture of the ex
tremes. Thus it is easy to see that it is highly unlikely that the student who has most of his attention
centered on fancying at large will be able to recall even the m^jor points of a lecture. Lack of concen
tration is a symptom, not a cause, of difficulty. When a student says “I can’t concentrate”,what he is
really saying is, **[7]I can't attend to \hv task at hand hocaust* my disirariors an* i〇〇 strong.
Fourthly, [10]we come to the two sorts of distractors—psychological and physical. A distractor is
anything which causes attention to vary from a central focal point. In the study situation distractors
may be thought of as either psychological or physical in nature. Both types of distxactors must be un
derstood before the student can attempt to remedy his lack of concentration. It has been proven by sci
entists that [8]emotions are the most powerful distractors. The angry man forgets the pain of iryiiry, the
fearful man finds it difficult to er\joy pleasure and the tense or anxious person may react violently to
the smallest of matters. In the student^ life there are many psychological pressures and tensions which
block effective productivity. The fears about making the grade, the doubts of the friendliness of a
friends behaviour and the pressures of limited finances—these are only a few of the emotional forces
which affect the student [9]Emotional reaction varies greatly from person to person. Some persons gain
goal and direction from their tensions and actually do better because of them. Others fall apart under
pressure, while a few people do well despite the pressure. [lOJPhysical distractors are always present
and rarely understood. Our environment is much more important to how we feel and react than we of
ten think. Particularly is this true of the effect of physical distractors on mental tasks. One research
report has shown that [ll]comprehension and retention of reading were decreased when students lis
tened to lively m usic. However, rate of reading was not affected, so that many students were not
aware that they were affected by the background distractor. Another study found that the ability to re
call accurately was affected by distracting conditions. [12]Most of the evidence indicates that noise af
fects adversely higher mental task output. Still, the effect of distractors is seldom fully appreciated by
students.
Next, [13)we are going to talk about routine^ and reasoning tasks are affected differently by dis
tractors. [14]Many routine tasks can be performed with distraction in the background with litth' or no
adverse effect on output Most students have found this fact to be true from their own experience.
They may have had high school homework which was drill or merely copying assignments. It was pos
sible to do such work with the latest recordings or the television set playing in the background. In
time such students began to feel certain that they could do all work—routine or problem-solving—in
the same manner. The evidence indicates the contrary conclusion.
Last but not least, weVe got to remember that exceptions may mislead you. Typically when stu
dents are faced with the evidence on distractors the argument is given that their cousin, friend, or
classmate can study in “Grand Central Station.” And he makes “all A’s” too! There is evidence, of
course, that motivation plays an important role in overcoming the effects of distractors and that there
-91
-are considerable differences in individual spans of attention. Either of these factors could account for
some individuals being able to do well using inefficient methods. The fact that [ 15 ] some exceptional
people do well under adveree conditions scarcely justifies your assuming that you are exceptional in
the same manner. Your chances of success are higher if you avoid the distracters which are known to
hinder the typical student.
To sum up what we have discussed today. Generally speaking, today we mainly focused on con
centrations and we have provided with you six suggestions on how to control your concentration. We
hope these suggestions will be helpful.
1• 【答案】varies // fluctuates
【解析】整篇讲座的主题是如何控制注意力。首先提出concentration的定义,接下来讲述第一个要点“你的注
意力范围是变化(varies)的”,接着又再次提到“即使付出M 大努力,我们注意力的范闱还是波动(fluctuates)
的”。因此,此空可填入varies或fluctuates
2• 【答案】illusion // misconception
【解析】录音原文提到,“你的注意力可能转移得很快,似乎能立刻注意到几个槪念”,似紧接肴说这种现象“是
错觉(illusion)”。因此,此处应填人illusion或misconception。要点提示词but表示转折关系,其后的信息是常
考之处,笔记中不可忽视。
3• 【答案】duration // period
【解析】针对上一题提到的illusion(错觉),本题说的是对注意力的正确认识,录音提到“注意力的焦点转移是
在很短时间(duration)内”,结合题目应填人duration或其同义词period。
4• 【答案】relatively infrequent
【解析】这里考査的是注意力转移的另一个情况:relatively infrequent。
5• 【答案】Levels
【解析】录音提到了 attention的三种level,即high level, moderate level, low level。应填人Levels如果笔
记中没有记下,还可以从题目后的分项内容中找到答案.level出现了三次!注意首字母大写。
6• 【答案】mixture of extremes
【解析】录音提到,中度的注意力,是两者的结合。由于每个空格最多填入三个单词,故用mixture of extremes。
7• 【答案】distractors
【解析】录音提到:“因为分散我的注意力的干扰物(distractors)太强,我不能专心手头的工作。”由此可知答案
为distractors。录音中多次提到distractors —词,多次提及的内容为常考处,笔记时笛特別注意。
8• 【答案】emotions
【解析】录音提到,科学家证实情绪(emotions)是造成分心的最大因素。由此可知填人emotions若笔记中没有
记录,还可根据题目中的angry, fearftil, anxious进行推断,这些词分別表达了各种情绪。
9• 【答案】differently // variedly
【解析】录音原文描述了情绪对注意力的影响后,紧接着提到“对情绪的反应因人而异”,结合空格处前后的文
字可以推断答案为differently或variedly。如果没有听清或听懂varies greatly from person to person,也可
以从其后的Some persons... Others…得知,人们在压力之下会有“不同的(different)”表现。
1()•【答案】Physical distractors
【解析】填入的同与Psychological distractors件列。结合录音不难发现这里填Physical distractors。
11• 【答案】retention
【解析】录音提到“研究报告表明,在听轻快的音乐时读书的理解力和记忆力(retention)降低了”。题目中已有
了 comprehension,因此空白处填人 retention。
- 92
-12• 【答案】noise
【解析】录音提到,噪音影响思想的产出。缺少的是noise。
13• 【答案】reasoning tasks
【解析】录音最后提到了 distractors(干扰物)对于routine(日常工作)和 reasoning tasks(推理性工作)的影
响。题目中已有routine,所以应填人reasoning tasks。
14• 【答案】routine tasks
【解析】录音提到,很多的日常工作在干扰的情况下让人可以进行。空格所在句缺少的正是routine tasks
15• 【答案】adverse conditions
【解析】录音原文提到“有些人能在不利条件下(adverse conditions)做得很好”,此处讲的是例外的情况。空
白处应填人adverse conditions。若笔记没有记录,依据题目exceptional people do well可推测,这些个别
的人或者例外的情况应当是不常见的,即与正常情况相反,结合题目,可推测答案应为adverse conditions。

Five Types of Books
Good morning. This lecture is going to introduce 5 types of 参 考 词 汇 ;
books that can increase intelligence. As you know, we read for

information, with the hope that information we acquire will im
prove our minds, giving us the means to improve our lives. In the prodigiously /pra didsasli/ ad. E
modem Age of Information, more reading material is available 大地
than ever, making it increasingly difficult to allocate our reading profitably /pmfitabli/ 有益地
time efficiently. All books are not created equal, and it follows that permanently /*p3:manantli/fldi 永
all readers are not equal either. [l]To read prodigiously and to read 久地

lifetime. Although it is certainly necessary, for the purposes of
pious /paias/ a•虔诚的
business and everyday life, to read about the latest news and
shrine /Jrain/ /i•神圣
trends, that type of reading is outside the scope of this article.

My aim is to encourage the reading of books that permanently in
crease intelligence and, as a result, improve our chances of lead anecdote /aenikdaut/ n. ft V
ing prosperous and fulfilling lives. morality /ma’raeliti/ il 道德
[3]The first choice is books about science. Science is not re recite /ri’sait/ v/.背诵

exhilarating /ig’zilareitiry 〇•使人
Then, philosophy comes as our second choice. In ancient
兴奋的
times, science and philosophy grew from the seed of analytical
thought. [7jlf science teaches us to understand the outside world, philosophy teaches us to understand
ourselves. It could very well be called the science of human life. [8]In addition to the classic philo
sophical works, this category also includes the great religious texts. The Bible, Koran, Bhagavad Gita,
etc. are not universally valuable because of religious dogma, but because of the wisdom and beauty
that has inspired billions to live loving, pious lives. It is an unfortunate modem bias that philosophy is
considered irrelevant. Although we worship at the shrine of modem technology, this is still a veiy hu
man world. Philosophy will increase your understanding of human needs and desires, knowledge that is
essential for spreading ideas and predicting human behavior.
The third one is serious fiction. Fd like to permanently discredit the belief that fictional works are
inferior because they’re only 4*made up storiesM. Only a person totally devoid of imagination could be
lieve that. Great works of fiction contain more truth than any other literary genre because they allow
the reader to experience a new reality. [9] Fiction creates experiences that elevate your level of con
sciousness. Serious fiction also contains a great deal of philosophy, psychology, and history. Truman
Capote said that a good novel is worth more than any scientific study. For the purpose of increasing
individual human intelligence, Tm inclined to agree. [lOlGreat fiction is also great language. And as
IVe written before, reading great language is the only way to become a better writer. It will also make
you a better thinker, speaker, and conversationalist.
[llJMoreover, histoiy books are also included. History feels boring because as children it meant
dull text books, memorizing dates, and tedious lectures. And who can blame us? The public schools
have done their best tx> take the humanity out of history. But at its best, history is fascinating anec
dotes, remarkable characters, and the evolution of ideas that have shaped civilization. By learning about
the past we are able to interpret our own times. We are able to recognize modem prejudices and the
nature of humanity. Although history may not help us predict the future, it increases self understand
ing and awareness. [12jU 兮s 啤 thp Uinel兮發ne努 ide與 and moraiitL
The last type is poetiy. I saved poetry for last because convincing you to take it seriously provides
the greatest challenge. Poetry arouses images of Shakespearian actors reciting flowery rhymes. It’s no
wonder most people think it lacks substance and applicability. But to maintain this opinion is to ignore
one of the great joys of human intelligence and underestimate the mysterious power of words. It’s no
coincidence that many languages use the same word for poet and prophet. [131The reading of great pa-
etry produces a feeling that cannot be adequately doscrilxMi, a f(、(、ling (>f awe and ivv(”vnc(» f()r th(、
power of words. Great poetry is the fusion of music and meaning. It is the medium of humanity^ most
ancient masterpieces. [141Poetry sharpens language skills and develops eloquence. Meaning is only half
of the great language. The best authors write with a style that is both pleasurable and instructive. An
appreciation of poetry is essential for reaching this degree of excellence.
As to resources, [1511 csn't make a formal set of recommendations. There are just too many great
books and my experience is too limited. How could I presume to know your tastes or area of interest?
What I can do is point out a couple of places where you'll be sure to find something of interest. Any
-95
-one who follows this site knows that Tin a whore for the old stuff. Strangely, the Internet is the best
thing that*s happened to old books since the printing press. Bartleby contains an extensive collection of
materials that are well formatted for online reading. You should read for self improvement, not to feel
educated and superior. Reading, even the most rigorous intellectual type, should be a labor of love. It
might be easier to read lighter books, but the moments of discovery created by challenging books are
more pleasurable and exhilarating than any suspense novel. If you make an effort to read more prof
itably, you'll be rewarded with wisdom, beauty, and many hours of productive leisure.

The Popularity of English
Good morning, everyone!
参 考 词 汇 :
Today's lecture is about the popularity of English. As we all
know, English is widely used in the world. Although English is lingua franca 通用语
not the language with the largest number of native or first lan interlocking /.inta'lDkir]/ a.联锁的
guage speakers, it has really become a lingua franca. Then what colonization /.kolanaizeijan/ n.
is a lingua franca? [HThe term refers to a language which is 殖民地化
widely adopted for communication between two speakers whose convict /*kDnvikt/ n•囚犯
native languages are different from each other’s, and where one or
problematic /.problaVnaetik/ a. 未
both speakers are using it as a second language. For example,
解决的
when an Indian talks to a Singaporean using English, then English
imposition /•impai/zij^n/ n. 加强
is the lingua franca. Then actually how many people speak Eng
multilingualism
lish as either a first or a second language? [21Some researchers
/•mAlti'lirjgwalizam/ /»•多语制
suggested a few years ago that between 320 to 380 million people
astronomy /a’strDnami/ /i. 天文学
spoke English as a first language and anywhere [3]between 250 to
zoology /zau’nlad3i/ ii. 动物学
350_million as a second language. And of course if we include
default /di’f3:lt/ n.默认值
people who are learning English as a foreign language all over the
world, that number may increase dramatically. subtitled/*SAbtaitld/fl. fid字筋的
Then we may ask a question, “How did English get there?” mutually /Vnju:tju9li/ 〇•互相地
That is **How did English gain the present status of popularity?M intelligible /in’telid3ibl/a 可理解的
There are, in fact, a number of interlocking reasons for the pop ponder /ponda/ v•思索
ularity of English as a lingua franca. Many of the reasons are
historical, but they also include economic and cultural factors that have influenced and sustained the
spread of the language. Let*s go through the reasons one by one. [4]First is the historical reason. This
is related to the colonial history.A s we know [5]when the Pilgrim Fathers landed on the Massachusetts
Coast in 1620 after their journey from England, they brought with them not just a set of the religious
beliefs, a pioneering spirit or a desire for colonization, [5]but also their language. Although many years
later the Americans broke away from their colonial master, the language of English remained and still
does. It was the same in Australia, too. When Commander Phillip planted the British flag in Sidney
Cove on the 26th of January, 1788, it was not just a bunch of British convicts and their guardians, but
also a language. [6]In other parts of the former British Empire, English rapidly became a unifying or
dominating means of control. For example, it became a lingua franca in India where a variety of in
digenous languages made the use of any one of them as a whole countiy system problematic. So the
imposition of English as the one language of administration helped maintain the colonizers* control and
power. Thus English travelled around many parts of the world in those days. And long after that colo
nial power has faded away, it is still widely used as a main or at least an institutional language in
countries as far apart as Jamaica and Pakistan, Uganda and New Zealand. That is the first factor.
[7]Now the second m^jor factor in the spread of English has been the spread of commerce through
out \hv worki. The spread of international conmu'rce lias taken Kn^lish along with it. This is the 20th
century phenomenon of globalization. Therefore, one of the first sights many travelers see when arriving
in countries as diverse as Brazil, China, for example, is the yellow twin-arched sign of a McDonald^
-98
-fast food restaurant or some other famous brands’ outlets. And without doubt,[81English is used as the
language of cpn^nunic^tion in the international business conummity.
[9]And the third factor related to the popular use of English is the boom in international travel. And
you will find that much travel and tourism is carried on around the world in English. Of course, this is
not always the case, as the multilingualism of many tourism workers in different countries demonstrate.
[10]But a visit to most airports on the globe will show signs not only in the language of that country,
but also in English, just as many airline announcements are broadcast in English, too, whatever the
language of the country the airport is situated in. [lllSo far, English is also the preferred language of
air traffic control in many countries and is used widely in sea travel communication.
[121 Another factor has something to do with information exchange around the world. As we all
know, a great deal of academic discourse around the world takes place in English. [131It is often a lin
gua franca of conferences, for example. And many journal articles in fields as diverse as astronomy,
child's psychology and zoology have English as a kind of default language.
The last factor I cite here concerns popular culture. In the western world at least, English is a
dominating language in popular culture. [14]Pop music in English can be heard on many radios. Thus
many people who are not English speakers can sing words from their favorite English medium songs.
And many people who are regular cinema goers or TV viewers can frequently hear English in subtitled
films coming out of the USA.
Now, to sum up, in today's lecture we have reviewed some of the reasons or factors that lie be
hind the popular use of English as the No. 1 world language. Before we finish, I would like to leave a
few questions for you to think about. Is the status of English as the No. 1 world language assured in
the future? [15]WillJt^spyL|nto varieties that become less mutually intelligible? Or will some other lan
guage or languages take the place of English as world language in future? These questions are not easy
to answer, I know. But they are definitely worth pondering over after the lecture. OK, this brings us to
the end of today's lecture. Thank you for your attention!

MINI-LECTURE
Meaning in Literature
In reading literary works, we are concerned with the 4meaning* of one literary piece or another.
However, finding out what something really means is a difficult issue.
There are three ways to tackle meaning in literature.
I. Meaning is what is intended by (1)_______ . (1)
Apart from reading an author's work in question, readers need to
1) read (2)___________ by the same author, (2)
2) get familiar with (3)___________ at the time; (3)
3) get to know (4)— and symbols of the time. (4)
II. Meaning exists 4in* the text itself.
1) some people's view: meaning is produced by the formal properties
of the text like (5)___________, etc. (5)
2) speaker’s view: meaning is created by both conventions of
meaning and (6)__________ . (6)
-100
-Therefore, agreement on meaning could be created by (7)_________ (7)
and conventions of usage. But different time periods and
different (8)_________ perspectives could lead to different interpretations (8)
of meaning in a text.
III. Meaning is created by (9)_______ • (9)
1) meaning is (10)_________; (10)
2) meaning is (11)_________; (11)
3) meaning requires (12)_________; (12)
- practicing (13)_________ (13)
- practicing (14)_________ (14)
- background research in (15)_________, etc. (15)
»>名师点评
Good morning. In today’s lecture we shall discuss what
参考词汇
meaning is in literary works. When we read novels, poems, etc.
we invariably ask ourselves a question, that is “What does the invariably /in’veariabli/ •总是
writer mean here?** In other words, we are interested in finding property /propati/ n. 14 tt
out the meaning. But meaning is a difficult issue in literature. diction /"dikJan/ n. 用语
How do we know what a work of literature is supposed to mean? competent /"kDmpitant/ a•有能力
Or what its real meaning is? I’d like to discuss three ways to 的
explain what meaning is. UlNumber One: meaning is what is convention /kan’venjan/ /i•习惯
iiitended by the author. Number Two: meaning is created by and code /kaud/ /i. 代码
contained in the text itself and Number Three: meaning is created
perspective /pa’spektiv/ /i. 视角
by the reader.
inescapable /.ine’skeipabl/ a•无
[l]Now \eVs take a look at the first approach, that iSj mean
法逃脱的
ing is what is intended by the author. Does a work of literature
insofar /.insaufa:/ ad. ft.....范围
mean what the author intended to mean? And if so, how can we
contextual /kon'tekstjusl/ a. ift%
tell? If all the evidence we have is the text itself and nothing
的
else, we can only guess what ideas the author had according to
competency /kompitansi/ /i•能力
our understanding of literature and the world. In order to have a
better idea of what one particular author means in one of his works, Fd suggest that you do the fol
lowing. [21First, go to the library and read other works by the same author. Second, get to know
something about what sort of meanings seemed to be common in literary works in that particular tra
dition and at that time. [3]In other words, we need to find out what the literary trends were in those
days. And last, [4]get to know what were the cultural values and symbols of the time. I guess you
can understand the authors meaning much more clearly after you do the related background research.
Now let’s move on to the second approach to meaning, that is, meaning is created by and con
tained in the text itself. Does the meaning exist in the text? [5]Some scholars argue that the formal
properties of the text, like grammar, diction, uses of image and so on and so forth, contain and pro
duce the meaning, so that any educated or competent reader will inevitably come to more or less the
same interpretation as any other. [6]As far as I am concerned, the meaning is not only to be found in
-101
-lh(k literaiy traditions and grammatical conventions of meaning but also in the cultural codes which ha\(>
been handed down from generation to generation. So when we and other readers including the author
as well are said to come up with similar interpretations, [7]that kind of agreement could be created
hy common iradilions and convc'ntions of usag(\ praclirt4 and inh'rprt'lalion. In other words, we have
some kind of shared basis for the same interpretation. But that does not mean that readers agree
on the meaning all the time.丨8]In (丨il’ferent tim(、丨>(、丨i(>ds with different cultural perspectives, including
class, belief and worldview, readers, I mean, ivad('rs, ( an arrive at different interpretations
of texts. So meaning in the text is determined by how readers see it. It is not contained in the text in
a fixed way.
[9]Now the third approach to meaning, that is. meaning is (rratcd by the reader. Does Uu* mean
ing then exist in the reader's response? In a sense, this is inescapable. Meaning exists only insofar as it
means to someone. And literary works are written in order to evoke sets of responses in the reader.
This leads us to consick i three essential issues. [IOITIh* fn>>t is, meaning is s〇( ial, that is. language* and
conventions work only as shared meaning. And our way of viewing the world can exist only as shared
or sharable. Similarly when we read a text, we are participating in social or cultural meaning, so re
sponse to a piece of literary work is not merely an individual thing, but is part of culture and history.
Second, [lUmeaning is contextual. If you change the context, you often change the meaning. [12]And
last, meaning requires reader competency. Texts constructed as literature have their own ways of ex
pressions or sometimes we say styles. And the more we know of them, the more we can understand
the text Consequently, there is in regard to the question of meaning the matter of reader competency as
it is called the experience and knowledge of comprehending literary texts. Your professors might insist
that fl31you practice and improve competency in n ading and they might also insist that you interpret
meaning in the context of the whole work. [14]But you may have^o^leam other competencies, too. [15]
F()r instaiu(、, in n'ading .Mulk An如(l’s The TnUnirlu山k、s, ymi might hav(、丨(> learn whal tlu* sorial
structure of India was like at that time, what traditions of writing were in prarlic(' in India in tin' vay\\
1930s,_what political, cultural and personal influences Mulk R^j Anand came under when constructing the
imaginative world of this short novel.
OK, you may see that this idea that meaning requires competency in reading, in fact, brings us
back to the historically situated understandings of an author and his works, as we mentioned earlier in
this lecture: to different conventions and ways of reading and writing and to the point that meaning re
quires a negotiation between cultural meanings across time, culture, class etc. As readers you have in
fact acquired a good deal of competency already, but you should acquire more. The essential point of
this lecture is that meaning in literature is a phenomenon that is not easily located, that meaning is
historical, social and derived from the traditions of reading and thinking and understanding of the world
that you are educated about. Thank you for your attention.

Writing Experimental Reports
Good morning, everyone. Today we’ll discuss some prelimi 参考词汇

When you first signed up for a course in university, like a

Then what is an experimental report?

[1]A11 a report is, really, is the place in which you tell the

like an ancient storyteller, whose stories were structured in ac

justification /.djAstifi'keiJan/ n.
than a modem novelist who is free to dictate form as well as
content. Moreover, like the storyteller of old, although you will in- 正当的理山
variably be telling your story to someone who knows quite a bit contradict /.kontra dikt/ w•与....
about it already, you are expected to present it as if it had never 发生矛盾
been heard before. [2]/[31This means that you will need to spell out the details and assume little
knowledge of the area on the_part of your audience.
Then, perhaps, you may ask, what is the nature of the conventions governing the report?
A clue, I think, can be found in its basic structure. [41A highly structured and disciplined report is
written in sections, and th(、s(» sections,l)y and large, follow an established sequence. What this means is
that, in the telling, your story is to be cut up into chunks: different parts of the story are tx> appear in
different places in the report. [5]What you did and why you did it appear in the section called INTRO
DUCTION. How you did it is in the METHOD section. And what you found out is in the RESULT sec
tion. [61Andt finally, what you think it shows appears in the DISCUSSION part. As you can see, the re
port, therefore, is a formal document composed of a series of sections in which specific information is
expected to appear. We will discuss the precise conventions governing each section as we go along.
For example, what are the subsections in the METHOD?
But today,I will introduce to you certain general rules straight away.
The first of these concerns the person to whom you should address your report, whom I shall call
4*your reader,\ [7]A very common mistake, (spcH ially early on, is to assume that your reader is the
person who will be marking the report [81In reality, however, the marker will be assessing your report
on behalf of someone else — an idealized, hypothetical person who is intelligent but unknowledgeable
about your study and the area in which it took place. Your marker will, therefore, be checking to see
that you have written your report with this sort of reader in mind. So you need to make sure that you
have:
-105
-1. introduced the reader to the area relevant to your study;
2. [9]provided the reader with the background necessary to understand what you did and why you
did it;
3. spelt out and developed your arguments clearly;
4. [10]defined technical terms;
And 5. HHprovided precise details of the^ way in which you went about collecting and analyzing
the data that you obtained.
In short, you should write for someone who knows little about your area of study, taking little for
granted about your reader's knowledge of your area of study. So when in doubt, spell it out. This is
my advice to you.
If you find this difficult to do, then a useful approach is to write the report as if it would be read
by someone you know who is intelligent but unknowledgeable about your subject. A friend of yours,
say. Write it as if this person were going to have to read and understand it. Indeed, it is a good idea,
if you can, to get just such a person to read your report before handing it in.
[12]The demands and expectations placed upon you will of course, vary with your experience of
report writing. Early on in your study, as an author of experimental reports, less will be expected of
you than later. At this early stage, you will be expected mainly to show that [13]you understand what
you did in your report and its implications, together with evidence that you have, at least a basic grasp
of the demands of the report's format.
[14] Later on, however, you will be ejected to pay more attention to this research significance of
what you did. The "why you did itM part will become more important because in being responsible for
the choice of topic and design, you will be expected to be able to justify this choice. So you must be
able to tell us why it is, that given the options available to you, you decided to conduct your particu
lar study. You will need, therefore, to develop the habit of thinking about how the ideas that you are
entertaining for your experiment or study will look in the report, paying particular attention to how
they will fit into the part of INTRODUCTION. Specific dangers that you must watch out for here are:
First, a lack of adequate material to put in the section;
[15) And second, the undertaking of a project that lacks any research justification, because Jt is based
on assumptions that are contradicted by existing findings in the area.
Thinking dearly in advance will help you to avoid making these mistakes.
OK. Today weVe had a brief look at the format of an experimental report, what each section is
about and some of the basic issues like reader awareness, so on and so forth. Next time, we will dis
cuss how to write up the INTRODUCTION section.
1• 【答案】study method // study findings // results // discussion // discoveries
【解析】原文说,实验报告包括“研究问题/领域”“研究目的”以及what you found out in the process。因此,
应填study findings .results或记忆中的其他内容
2• 【答案】spelling out details // providing details
【解析】本题与第三题紧密相连,原文说,写实验报告:要把细节都说出来(spell out the details),由下一行的
regarding 可知,空格处应该用 doing 形式,故"I* spelling out details,或者用近义的 providing details 等
表达。
3• 【答案】audience // non-professionals // ordinary people // laymen
【解析】原文提到写实验报告时要把ft己的读者当作“对该报告的研究领域一无所知的听众”,故吋用audi-
- 106
-ence,也可用 non-professionals,laymen 或 ordinary people。
4• 【答案】disciplined
【解析】原文说,实验报告具有较强的结构性和规范性。答案disciplined可直接从听力原文中得出。
5• 【答案】what you did
【解析】原文提到实验报告中关于“做过什么?为什么做? ”的是“引言”部分,因此,根据后面的why you did it
直接填入短句what you did即可。
6• 【答案】DISCUSSION
【解析】题干所给内容是what you think it shows,这是报告的“讨论”部分的内容,故填DISCUSSION。注意
与前面的METHOD和 RESULT等统一,用全大写。
7•【答案】a common mistake // mistaken assumption // wrong // incorrect
【解析】材料提到,如果实验报告的作者把该报告的评阅者当作自己的读者,这样假设就错了。因此,应填a
common mistake,或填入 mistaken assumption 等表示“错误”的表达。
8. 【答案】reality // truth // correct assumption // correct // right
【解析】根据材料中的信号词however可知本题所在句子是对前一句的转折,前一句是错误的假设,这一句应
该就说“事实、真相”或“正确的假设”。
9. 【答案】necessary background information
【解析】材料中提到了五项任务,其中第二项是给读者提供必要的背景(provided the reader with the back
ground necessary to...), 让他们明白你在做什么和你为什么这么做,此处应填人名词(词组 ), 将原文槪括一
下,答案可填 necessary background information。
10• 【答案】technical terms
【解析】材料中提到的第四项任务是定义专有名词(defined technical terms),答案可从原文直接得出,注意
要用复数形式。
11• 【答案】collecting // collection // collection and analysis // analysis
【解析】文中说要详细、准确地描述你收集、分析数据的方法。这里填“收集、分析”的名词或动名词形式即可。
12• 【答案】Demands and expectations
【解析】材料中在说三个时期前提到,对你的要求和期望(demands and expectations)会因你的写作经验而
有所不同。故此处填入Demands and expectations,注意首字母要大写。
13• 【答案】implications
【解析】材料提到,在最初的时期,你要明白你报告中是在做什么,以及报告的含义(implications),答案可直接
从录音中得出。
14• 【答案】focus // stress // lay emphasis // more / greater / stronger emphasis
【解析】文中说,在第二阶段就得更加注意(pay more attention to)所做研究的意义。既要表示“注意”,又要
与介词on连用,故应填focus或 stress或 lay emphasis等词。
15• 【答案】a lack // lack // absence
【解析】原文指出研究中需避免的第二点是“缺乏调査论证”,故填入表示“缺乏”意义的短语a lack of、lack
of 或 absence of。

changed. My English teacher announced that we’d be reading
4 books written by S.E. Hinton that year, respectively The Outsiders, Rumble Fish, Tex and That
Was Then This Is Now. She explained that Hinton was 16 when she wrote The Outsiders. [2JFYom
page one until the end of the book, I was catapulted into another world. The book amazed me. I
thought about it for days after reading it. I could not wait to read another book. And it was like
that for all of Hinton’s books. Before I knew what was happening to me, I was buying books in
stores and reading at least a book a month. [21And I knew, at age 13,由辦 I w^|it€?d tp b! a writer.
When I was a freshman in high school, I wrote a short story about a busboy working at a party

W: If yes, how did you react to them?
M: There are two types of rejections. Form Letter and what I call Positive Rejection. A Form Letter is
just like it sounds, no signature or a rubber-stamp signature. You wonder if they didn^ just open
your submission, attach a Form Letter, and return it to you without so much as reading a word.
[5]A little depressing at times. But what can you do? The Positive Rejection is when an editor ac

1. What happened to Philips when he was under 7th grader?
[C]【解析】i方谈一开始,作家就说他小时候很不喜欢看书,后来发现他有阅读障碍。直到七年级,他才开始阅读
Hinton 的作品。题[:】问七年级之前的情况,C 是 I was suffering from a reading comprehension disability
的同义表达。
2. According to Philips, what inspires him to begin his career as a writer?
[Cl【解析】作家刚幵始时很不喜欢阅读,阅读理解能力较差。而这一现象在他的英语老师要求学生阅读Hinton的
112
• -四本书后发生了改变。由关键词句 catapulted into another world、amazed、thought about、could not wait
和wanted to be a writer等可知,Hinton的 t5激起了作家的阅读兴趣,也促使他萌生了成为作家的愿望,因
此答案为C 。A 项“缺乏阅读兴趣”是在接触Hinton的书之前的情况,不是激起他想成为作家的原因;B 、D 项
文中并没有提及。
3. How does Mr. Philips usually find his idea?
[B]【解析】当访谈人问作家怎么找到灵感时,作家回答说,很难用单一的言语槪括,有时候角色就出现在心中,有
时候是剧情或结局,很多时候就是开始写,看看剧情怎么发展等等。可见,灵感来源是没有特定答案的,故选
8 项。
4. Why does Philips say that a writer should have a thick skin?
[B]【解析】当被问及是否收到很多作品的拒绝信函时,作家说足以用作整间房子的墙纸。接着便解释说,作家的脸皮
要厚。由此可见,脸皮厚是因为作品会不断遭到拒绝,故答案为B 。作家提到找一位感兴趣的编辑需要luck
and timing,其脷重点是显示其艰巨性,并不是作家脸皮要厚的原因,A 不正确;C 项只是作家对拒绝信函的数
量所作的比喻;D 项偷换了原文的概念。
5. What can we learn about the two types of rejections?
[C】【解析】录音提到有两种不同的拒绝方式,分別是Form Letter和 Positive Rejection。Form Letter通常是没
有署名或加盖署名,通常让人觉得有些沮丧。而Positive Rejection还是会ih人觉得受鼓舞,因为它会有Close,
try us with your next story idea等回复文字。可见C 的表述是正确的。D 项有一定的干扰性,由文中的
wonder if可知,编辑没有读信件只是作家的猜测,事实是否真是这样并没有提及,故D 项的表述太绝对化了。

For me, frustration is one of them. [61Fm always wondering if freelance /•frhlains/ w. 当自由作家

Then there is finding enough time in a day to do all that needs to be done. I work full time as an
employment law paralegal, I freelance part-time for a community newspaper, write book reviews for
a web site and am married with three children. I try to schedule 40-60 book signings a year, teach
creative writing classes a few times a year and give presentations to schools and clubs as often as
possible. So where do I find time to write? [81 Saturdays and Sundays I wake-up at 3:00 AM. I
write until about 9:00, when the family starts to stir. By this way I do not take time away from
them, as I have them at mail bookstores all over the place at least once a week, almost every
week, from September until May. [71So for me, time and energy are the most frustrating. But I
wouldn’t do it, if I didn’t love it You have to want it. Write because you love it. If it sells, that’s
icing on the cake.
W: What do you advise new writers to do?
M: There is an old saying. I forget who said it So forgive me. 44If you always do what you have al-

[10]The key is never give up. Save every qyery le_rs. Worlc and itwork ypiy gyieiy jitters. Those
are, perhaps, more vital than the stoiy themselves. They are the first thing and maybe the only
thing an editor will look at. If the query letter is full of mistakes, the editor won’t bother with
your story. If youVe been using the same style letter for years and are getting no where—try re
vamping it. Look at some other letters. And keep at it. If it*s what you want, always keep at it.
W: I appreciate your help! Thanks a lot!
M: Thank you, Liana.
6. What can we learn from Philips?
[Cl【解析】录音提到大部分作家都会遇到很多挑战,其中提到,他总是想知道自己的故事是否足够好,自己的作品
是否足够好。这与C项的表述相符。作家在社区报纸做兼职,故A不对;他没有充足的时间,B项的sufficient
表述错误;录音并未提及作家担心他的家人是否喜欢他的作品,故D 项不对。
7. What is the most frustrating thing to Philips?
[C l【解析】题目询问对Philips来说最大的闲扰是什么。对话中,作家很明确地提到,AJ大的闲扰是时间和梢力。选
C 项。
8. Why does Philips write from 3 am to 9 am every Saturday and Sunday?
[A1【解析】题目询问为什么作家要在周六日的凌晨三点到九点写作^作家说,九点之后孩子们就睡醒吵闹了(starts
to stir),这样做也不会占用陪伴家人的时间。换句话说,这个时间段是作家的私人时间,故选择A项。
9. What is the role of the interviewer throughout the talk?
|A|【解析】本题询问采访者在访谈中的作用D 根据常识,采访者的一个重要作用就是引出话题,引导访谈的进行。
因此不难选出A 项。
10. What Ls the suggestion that Philips gives to new writers?
IB]【解析】由关键语句 the key is never give up,work and rework your query letters 等可得知,Philips 建议
新手作家要有永不放弃的精神,即坚持到底;并且要不断修订咨询信件,正确答案为B 。他不主张长期用同一
封咨询信函,故排除A 项;C 项均偏离了录音原文,文中并未提及;D 项只是建议之一,概括不全面,

W: How many books have you published? Which are you most proud of?
M: I have been writing non-stop for forty years, almost exactly. So I can*t list all my books. I have
been lucky to have been thrown forward by the wave of developments in language teaching for
much of that time. [211 am very proud of being the writer of the venr flgst topic based text book

M: I don’t really understand the question. [7]There is a massive
demand by |H'〇j)le all over the world to learn the worlcTs language which happens to be English,
for the time being. That drive to learn is the main thing and is much more important than all the
fancy materials and methods we might dream up.
W: Any other thoughts to pass on about language teaching?
M: [9]/[10]Language teaching changes as smi(、tU*s change. [8]I don’t beli(、v(、that ri\s(»arch findings se
riously influence how aims and methodologies change. The reason for students wanting to learn
English or not wanting to learn it is largely a reflection of the society, or sub-cultural group, they
are living in. This background and its values and perceptions also help to determine the method
ologies which are accepted by the learners.
W: Can you be more specific?
M: In the 1960s when I began, Western societies believed that logic could provide answers to every
thing from military efforts, exploration in space, housing and language teaching. So we had the au
dio lingual and then the audio visual methodologies which were going to make language learning
possible for eveiybody. In the 1970s there was a rejection of these global and logical answers and
there was more concern for the individual; more humanistic approaches. That was in the West. In
other parts of the world societies did not move in the same way and the aims and methodologies
relevant to the West were and are not necessarily relevant in other societies.
W: It’s such a pleasure talking to you.
M: My pleasure.

M: Well, f21it’d be a good practice run for my tutorial next week. IT! do the same for you scmie time.
W: OK. So where were these bananas first domesticated?
M: According to my research, [3]the Cavendish banana^ which is a type of banana and the first type to
be cultivated here, actually originated in China but they had a fairly roundabout route before they
got to Australia.
W: You mean they didn*t go straight from China to Australia?
M: No, they didn't. It seems that in 1826, bananas were taken from South China to England.
W: I suppose they would have made a welcome addition to the English diet.
M: Yes, Tm sure. Well apparently there was an English Duke who was particularly fond of bananas
and he used to cultivate them in his hothouse, [4)which is where you have to grow them in Eng

the one responsible for cultivating the Cavendish banana which was then introduced into Australia.

M: Yes.
W: Are they hard to grow?
M: Well, yes and no. To grow them in your garden, no, not really. But to grow them commerciallyy ou

M: Yes. They grow best like that. oddly /*Ddli/ 奇特地
W: That’s interesting!
M: [7]If you plant them in rich soil and give them plenty of water at the beginning of summer, then
they should be well advanced by the beginning of winter when growth virtually stops. But in a
country like England, they’re hard to grow, although you can grow them in a hoth()iis(、.
W: But in Australia, ifs not difficult?
M: [8]No, though even here, the growers put plastic bags around the bunches to keep them wann. If
you go up to the banana growing districts, youll see all these banana trees with plastic bags on them.
W: But how do they stop the bananas going bad before they reach the shops?
M: Well,I9]tlu' hanana hunches are picked w(»ll ilu* fruit is ripe. Once you cut the bunch, the
bananas stop growing but they do continue to ripen. The interesting thing is that once one banana
ripens, it gives off a gas which then helps ail the others to ripen so they pretty much all ripen
within a few hours of each other.
W: Amazing! So do we export lots of bananas overseas, to Europe and Asia for instance?
M: Well, oddly enough, no. [1011 believe New Zealand takes a small proportion of the^rop other-

admire the TV reporters though for their ability to sum something up in such a short time, you
tend to think they’re sat around all day just taking notes but they’re not thoughtless when the

M: How do you cope with deadlines?
W: They are just a normal daily occurrence. You always think you're not going to hit it but you nor

W: Well, what’ve you got to talk about?
M: We can choose our own subject. I think that makes it harder. We just have to talk for twenty min

W: Right, then the first thing to do is to decide what you're going to talk about. Pick something that
you feel strongly about. That’ll make it easier for you to sound enthusiastic and interested yourself
which is very important if you want to hold your audience^ attention.
M: So how on earth do I manage to sound enthusiastic and interested when Tm feeling scared out of

W: Well, I suppose the first thing to do is to prepare your talk well so that you know exactly what
you want to say and in what order. [3]Do not just read a script, thafs very dull for the listeners.
Talk from \n\v\' n〇t(ks you ( an wriii* ilu in on cards, perhaps—so that it sounds a bit more sponta

down.
M: Anything else about how I should speak? I mean, slowly or fast?
W: Well, you must talk clearly of course and not too fast, though, mind you, [41a bit of variety of pace
is a good idea. [5]It s also impoiiant that your voice goes up and down and doesn't sound too flat.

speaks.
M: It certainly is.

this part anyway.'* It just stunned me! [3]But some part of my brain clicked in that he was say
ing sonu lhing to me and that I need to take acting classes. So I decided to listen to him and
that same year I started training at the School for Performing Arts, the Fame school. [5]It turned
out to be the biggest turning point of life. That^s where I learned to become an actor.
W: You attended the infamous Fame school, what “extra something” did you have that scored a spot
in the school?
M: It wasn'l anything. [4]When I was auditioning, tlu'ir standanis wnv regally strict. I wrn\ through

• -two days of the auditioning process with various exercises, tests and monologues to gauge your tal
ent. [4]There,s really no way to prepare for it.
W: You have starred in films with some of the biggest names in the business. Which celebrity has giv
en you the best advice through the years?
M: I learned from Anthony Quinn about working my knowledge. I learned from him what it meant to
learn my knowledge. Many, many, many years later, I learned from James Woods a combination of
what I had learned... not to be a jerk.
1. What do we learn from the beginning of the interview?
【C】【解析】由关键语句 kindest and warmest .enthusiastic about acting and enhancing his craft 可推知 Alexis
很随和,工作中是富有激情的,故 C 项为正确答案录音只提到Alexis从亊演艺界有20年,故 A 错误;B 项太
绝对,文中只是说Alexis钤与Johnny Depp、Halle Berry等演员合作,并不能由此推出他在每部电影中都是
主角;D 项表述偏颇,录音开头只提到Alexis很热心于提岛他的演技。
2. According to Alexis Cruz, what is enough for a 9-year-old actor?

的”符合题意B 项的tedious带有贬义色彩,文中并没有暗示试演很冗长,只是提及了整个试演过程花贽了两
天时间,说话者的态度很中肯,故排除B;C项中的easy表述不正确;D 项 inordinate偏离了原文

helps our members to get calm and organize thoughts, and deliver them in an effective way.
M: Is Toastmasters concerned with total communication, not just for speaking but other communication
skills?
W: Most often, people assume tliat when you are listening, you are also paying attention. This is not
always true. [4jMaiiy tiines p(»(>pl(、aiv vvaiting thrii lurn to sp(、ak and arr n(>t ivallv

W: Professor Wang, you’re now Professor Emeritus of Australia

elite /ei’li:t/ n•拚英
youVe still very fond of your university days as a student
utilitarian /ju:tili’teari9n/ a. 实用
M: Thafs right. That was in 1949. The university that I went to
的
was a brand new university then, and the only one in the
country at that time. When I look back, it was an amazingly small university, and we knew
everybody.
W: How did the students like you, for example, study then?
M: We didn’t study very hard, because we didn’t have to. We didn’t have all this fantastic competition
that you have today. Mmm. [2] We were always made to feel that getting a first degree in the Arts
Faculty was not preparation for a profession. It was a general education. We were not under any
pressure to decide on our careers, and we had such a good time. We were left very much on our
own, and we were encouraged to make things happen.
W: What do you see as the most striking difference in university education since then?
M: University education has changed dramatically since those days. [3]Things are very specialized today.
W: Yes, definitely so. And, in yoiir subsequent career experience as an educator and later administrator
in various institutions of higher education in Asia and elsewhere, Professor Wang, you have repeat
edly noted that one has to look at the development of education in one particular country in a
broad context. What do you mean by that?
M: Well, the whole world has moved away from elite education in universities to meet the needs of
mass education, and entering universities is no longer a privilege for the few. [4]And universities
today are more concerned with providing jobs for their graduates in a wav that universities in our
time never had to be bothered about. Therefore, the emphasis of university programmes today is
now on the practical and the utilitarian, rather than on a general education or on personal devel
-142
-opment.
W: Do you think that is a welcome development?
M: Well, I personally regret this development. But the basic bachelor’s education now has to cater to
people who really need a piece of paper to find a decent job.
W: So you’re concerned about this development.
M: Yes, Tm very concerned. [51 With technical changes, many of the things that you learn are technical
skillSj which don't require you to become veiy well educated. Yet, if you can master those skills,
you can get very good jobs. So the technical institutions are going to be increasingly popular at the
expense of traditional universities.
1. According to the interview, what do we know about Professor Wang?
[BJ【解析】主持人在介绍王教授的时候谈到,他现在是澳大利亚国立大学的荣誉教授,一生中获得了非常多的职
称。因此B 项的表述与之相符。A 项的Visiting Professor为“客座教授”,故A 项不对;王教授上学的时候只有
一所大学,谈不上是不是最著名,排除C 项;王教授至今还很喜欢大学生涯,排除D 项。
2. What was education like in Professor Wang's days?
【C l 【解析】教授谈到自己的大学生涯时说,获得文科学士学位并“不是为职业做准备”,而是一种通识教育,学生也
没有决定未来就业的压力。可见.当时的教育不以就业为目的,选项C 正确、
3. According to Professor Wang, what Is the greatest difference of university education between now and
past?
丨B 1 【解析】在谈到现在的大学教育与王教授时代的M 大不同时,王教授说现在的大学教育更加专门化,选 B 项。
4. According to Professor Wang, what is the purpose of the present-day education?
[B1【解析】说到目前的大学教會,王教授说它更关注的是为毕业生提供就业机会。因此,B 正确。选项C 与原文字
眼相近,容易误选。原文说,“当今大学课程的重点是一些实用和功利的东西,而不是综合教育或个人的发展。”
这与 C “To offer practical and utilitarian courses in each program.”并不一致。
5. In Professor Wang’s opinion, what are technical skills?
【C 】【解析】在谈话中王教授说,学习技术能力不需要多高的教育水平。因此答案C 正确。选项A 的含义正与原文
相反;B 、D 则未在原文中提及。

Yet if we are concerned about maintaining standards, what

W: Yes, you're right. A university is judged by the quality of education it offers. Professor Wang, let’s
turn to the future. What type of graduates, in yoiir view, do universities of the future need to pro

- -duce, if they are to remain relevant?
M: I think their graduates must be able to shift from one profession to another, because they are
trained in a very independent way. If you can do that, you raise the level of the flexibility of the
mind. Today's rapid changes in technology demand this adaptability. [7]And you see the best uni

W: I guess many people would agree with you on that point. University education should focus on
both personal and professional development of students. But still some might believe there is a
definite place for education in a broader sense—that is, in personal intellectual development.
M: No doubt about that. We need people who will think about the future, about the past, and also
people who will think about society.【8】If a socie奴 doesn’t have philosophers, or people who think
about tlu* valur of life, it’s a very sad society indeed
W: Professor Wang, my last question: do you see any common ground in education between your gen

M: [91Adapting to new challenges is perhaps the true cornerstone of our generation^ legacy to educa
tion. And the future of education in a country rests not so much on the construction of better
buildings, labs, etc., [9]but in the development of an ever-adaptable mind.
W: That's true. The essence of education is the education of the mind. Okay, thank you very much,
Professor Wang, for [10)talking to us on tin* sliow about tlu* changing trends in ('ducation.
M: You’re welcome.
6. What does Professor Wang suggest to cope with the situation caused by increasing numbers of fee-pay

[C]【解析】对于付费学生数域增加的情形,王教授提出的解决办法是:应该提高教育质tt,W 此[K确答案为C 。
7. What type of graduates does future education not need to produce?
|D|【解析】本题要求选择不是未来教育应该培养的毕业生的类ffl,可以通过推断结合排除法解题。A 、B 、C 在谈话
中可以听到,都是王教授赞同的。原文中提到“世界上最好的大学总是努力确保他们的毕业生不仅有一技之
长,还要能适应任何变化的环境. ”因此,仅有专业技术是不够的,故D 项不符合王教授的观点。
8. According to Professor Wang, what can be seen as a sad society?
丨B | 【解析】王教授谈到,如果一个社会没有竹学家,或者没有人去思考生命的价值,这是一个可悲的世界竹学家

9. According to the interview, what is common in education between past and now?
[Cl【解析】主持人的最后一个问题问的也是过去与现在在教育方面的共同点。王教授回答,不断地适应新的挑战,
有着不断适应的想法是相通的。故选C 项
10. What does the interview mainly focus on?

SECTION A MINI-LECTURE
Some Theories of History
Good morning, everyone. In today’s lecture, we are going to
参考词汇
talk about some theories of history.
How much of man’s history do we know? We really know
fraction /*fraekjan/ it•片段
very little. [ljWritten K (oids exist for only a fraction of what we species /*spi:Ji:z/ n• 种,类
suppose to have been man’s time as a unique species. accuracy /aekjurasi//i.准确(性)
Furthermore, the accuracy of these records is often suspected, and suspected /sa'spektid/ 〇•被怀疑的
the scope and selection of significant detail in them often needs reconstruct /,rikan’strAkt/ 吆觅建
improvement.
trace /treis/ n.踪迹
It is worse when we try to reconstruct man^s history before
deduction /di’dAkJan/ n.推论
the development of writing, and this is unfortunate because the
speculation /.spekju'leijan/ n. 思
history of the early development of human society is lost to us.
考
[2]Tlie most that we can do is to use traces, deduction, speculation
precise /prfsais/ a.准确的
and the^ knowledge we have of the habits of those animals which
fragmentan /fraegmentari/ a. 6f
have some elementary social order to help us make a partial
片的
reconstruction. This is hardly a satisfactory substitute for precise
coherence /kau丨hiarans/ n. 连 K
information.
With our knowledge of human history, which is only fragmen framework /*freimw3:k/ •框架
tary at best, it is therefore nearly impossible to reconstruct the actualize /"aektjualaiz/ v•实现
、
beginning, and to deduce the end, of the story of man. [3]Thust intelligent /irVtelid3ant/fl. 聪明的
th(»re have many sdiools 〇l thought on the subject, civilized /*sivilaizd/ give coherence to the human past by
ancestor /aensesta/ n.祖先
fitting it into the framework of a throiy of histoiy.
glorious /*glo:rias/fl. 辉煌的
[41The first theory I want to introduce is assumed that man
Utopia /ju:’t9upia/ /i•乌托邦
continually progress. He has evolved from a lower to a higher
eminent /eminant/ a.卓越的
form of being, and he continues to evolve. [5]This evolution takes
variation /.veari'eijan/n. 变化
place both in terms of his potentials and his abilities to actualize
these potentials.
remote /ri'maut/ a.遥远的
[6]If one holds this theory, one feels that modem man must defendab丨e /di'fendabl/ a .可防守
be more intelligent and civilized today than his ancestors, as vv(iU 的
as physically and morally superior to Uieni. One further assumes literate /litarit/ a.有文化的
that this progress will continue into an ever more glorious future. dweller Aiwela/ n•居民
Here deduction often ends and dreams of Utopia begin, for it ignorant Agnarant/a.无知的
seems that most of us find it hard to think of the human race
staggering ,staegari〇/ a.惊人的
developing into a race of angels. All in all, as a theory of history,
repetitive/ri’petitiv/a. ®:复的
the above view has had many eminent supporters.
sheer /Jia/ a•纯粹的
It might be well to mention here a variation on this theory
reconcile /Vekansail/ w.使协调
that used to be popular, [7]namely the idea that man rose from a
148
- -low condition to a Golden Age at some time in the remote past
spiral /spaiaral/u. 蟫旋的
and that things have gone straight downhill ever since. Many
perspective /paspektiv/ n .现点
eminent men have found a sort of gloomy comfort in this idea,
conquest /*k〇r]kwest/ u.攻取
but science has now opened up possibilities for the future which
differentiation /.difarenj ieij an/
makes this theoiy less defendable. Perhaps for this reason the
n. 区分
theory has little modem support.
socioeconomic
A second theory of history is held by those men who see
/sausiau.eka'nomik/ a.社会经济
man’s history as something quite different froni a simple progres
学的
sion from a lower to a higher state. 【8jTh^y s 兮兮 it as a pf
interpret /iiVt3:prit/ w. 解释
stages of development which are predictably in their broad 〇电-
lines and main features. As surely as a civilization rises and disappearance /.disapiarans/ n.
comes into being, so also must it decline and fall. [91The chief 消失
pattern one sees in history is the rise and fall of civilization.
To holders of this theory, modem man is not looked upon as the most superior social being yet
produced. He is simply the typical product of the current stage in the cycle of our civilization. In fact
he may actually be inferior to members of past civilizations. [10]It all depends upon what stage of
civilization we happen to be living in. Indeed, it has been said that the average modem literate city
dweller is comparatively more ignorant of his era^ fund of knowledge than other literate city dwellers of
the past While the staggering fund of knowledge in our technologically advanced world is undoubtedly
greater than that of any past civilization, it is probably true that the average modem man, relying on
such repetitive forms of entertainment as television and working in a narrowly specialized job, knows a
great deal less sheer information about his world than did earlier people.
[llUn a third theory of history, the two above theories are to some degree reconciled. [121Accord-
ing to this theory, which is often (ernuMl the spiral view of history, human societies do repeat a cycle
of stages, but overall progress observable in the long historical perspective. Civilizations do rise and fall,
as the advocates of the second theory maintain, but the new civilization which replaces the first, usu
ally by conquest, contains superior qualities which enable it to rise to a higher stage of development
until it, too, declines and is replaced by yet a third civilization.
The above theories interpret history in term as if the overall progress of mankind in general with
out respect to difTerentiatioas within the social order. [13/141It is also possible to view human history in
terms of the interaction of socioeconomic groups. [15]Human history, according to this theoiy, is most
(l(*arly interpreted as the disappearance of class struggle. Most people who hold this theory assume an
eventual resolution of the struggle through the disappearance of class differences, although it would be
just as correct t» assume that the struggle could continue unresolved. Those who assume that the
struggle can eventually be resolved hold that history has a goal and that progress can be measured in
terms of how quickly mankind is reaching that goal.
OK. This brings us to the end of today’s lecture. I hope now you can have a better understanding
of what history is. Thank you for your attention.

W: It was a special performance that aired on Fox. It was a Christmas special show. I believe it was
the second or third season of Amei^ican Idol. [3]It had all of the cast from that season—Ruben
Studdard, Clay Aiken and all the kids from that season. We sang Christmas songs and I was invit
ed to sing in the on-stage chorus. It was very cool.

mg a part of the Greek system. Ifs an ensemble cast of eight of us—five boys and three girls and

1. According to the interview, what do we know about Amber Stevens?
[B1 【解析】在介绍完采访崧宾时,主持人总结到,你(即Amber Stevens)在演戏之前是个歌手,是什么让你开始追
求表演的?由此可见,B 项的槪括是正确的。在ABC Family的新剧是Amber演艺生涯的开始,A 项不对;访
谈中没有提到Amber是个平凡的人,C 项的plain不对
2. What causes Amber to pursue her acting career?
|A] 【解析】访谈提到Amber从事演艺丁.作,其一是出于她想这么做,其二是她发现自己有才能,故 A 项为正确答
案。由于父亲从事无线电广播t.作,她常与音乐人接触,于是音乐成r 她年轻时的首选,但这些不是促使她选
择从事演艺的原因,故排除B、C、D项。
3. What do we learn about the American Idol special show?
|B1 【解析】在谈到《芙国偶像》的特別节H时,Amber提到该季所有的人员都符参与。故B项的表述正确。《美阔偶
像》是 Fox的节目,不会山ABC播出,排除A 项;Amber被安排的是chorus而不是solo,排除C 项,
4. According to Amber Stevens, what does a regular audition look like?
【C】【解析】在谈到常规的试音流程,Amber提到,她要参加初试,接着被邀请与制作人和导演见面,最后才进入电

ships等可以推出,Greek主要i并述的是美闰大学生活中的男女联谊会以及各角色间的人际关系,B项符合原文
怠 思 Greek以Cyprus-Rhodes学校为背景,fH主题不是Cyprus-Rhodes,排除A项;C、D项槪括偏离f 对话

M: Where do you see yourself five years from now?
W: [lOlHopefully this show will go on for another five years! I have so much fiin doing Greek right now
and Fd like to continue doing it for some time^ Maybe during hiatus I could get a couple fdnis in
and continue being an actress.
M: What advice do you have for teens and young adults looking to break into show business?
W: [9]I’d say work hard and go for it. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t do what you think you
should be doing with your life when you really have a passion for it. Don’t take it for granted, it
is something you have to work hard at no matter what stage youVe at in your work. Johnny Depp
still has to work so hard, things don*t just come to him.
6. What do we know about the role of Ashleigh on Greekl
[DI【解析】在谈到Ashleigh这个角色时,Amber说她是个派对女孩,D 项中的party animaT派对动物”形容的就

所当然的,无论你处于什么地位。随后举出Johnny Depp来说明,即使是Johnny Depp,也还需努力。可见B 项
正确。
10. What can we learn from the last part of the interview?
IC1【解析】访谈的最后主持人问及了 Amber对未来的打算,她说想要继续出演Gr從fc,期间还可以拍些电影可见
C 项是汸谈最后部分提到的内容。A 、B 项都不是访谈最后部分的内容;访谈结尾时Amber只对想从事演艺事
业的年轻人提了些建议,并未谈及演艺事业的前景,因此D 项表述不正确。

SECTION A MINI-LECTURE
Understanding Depression
Good morning, everyone. Today wefll talk about the topic of 参 考 词 汇 ;
depression. As we all know, depression is very common and af
fects people of every color, race, economic status, or age. Unfor depression /di’prej^n/ n.抑郁
tunately, not everyone recognizes depression when it happens to mistaken belief 错误观念
someone they know. [IJSome people have the mistaken belief Jhat flaw /fb:/ if•缺陷
depression comes from weakness or is a character flaw. Some
crit丨cism /kntisizm/ /i.批评
people don’t really understand about depression. [21People who
shake off 摆脱
don’t understand may react to a depressed person’s low energy
rough /rAf/ a.粗略的
with cnticisin, yelling at the person for acting lazy or not trying
harder. [31S(>nu' people mistakenly believe that depression is just domain /da'mein/ n.领域
an attitude or a mood that a person can shake off. It’s not that symptom /simptam/ u•症状
easy. genetics /d3i’netiks/ /i•遗传学
In today’s lecture, in order to erase these misunderstandings
inherit /in’herit/ w.继承
and draw a rough picture of this issue, we will cover three do
gene /d3i:n/ n•基因
mains of depression. They are causes, symptoms of depression and
makeup /meik.Ap/ /i.组成
the way to get over it.
Firstly, let us begin with the causes of depression. Actually remarry /.ri'maeri/ v.
there is no single cause for depression. Many factors play a role trigger /triga/ w•引起
including genetics, life events, environment, and medical conditions. self-esteem u•自尊
Research shows that depression runs in families and that
substance ZsAbstans/ n•物质
some people inherit genes that make it more likely for them to
abuse /a’bju:s/ n•滥用
get depressed. Not everyone who has the genetic makeup for de
depreSvSant /di’presant/ a. 有镇静
pression gets depressed, though. And many people who have no
作用的
family history of depression have the condition. So although genes
hormone balance荷尔蒙平衡
are one factor, they aren’t the single cause of depression.
The second factor is some upset life events. [4]The death of adolescent /.aeda’lesant/ /i. S少年
a Icimily member, friend, or pet can go beyond normal grief and irritability /.irita’biliti/ n.易怒
sometimes lead to depression. Other difficult life events, such as indicative /in’dikativ/ a.指示的
when parents divorce, separate, or remarry, can trigger depres

sion. Even events like moving or changing schools can be emo
insomnia /in’snmnia/ /i.失眠
tionally challenging enough that a person becomes depressed.
worthlessness /waiBlisms/ n. 尤
Family and social environment also play a role. For some

people, a negative,stressful, or unhappy family atmosphere can
affect their self-esteem and lead to depression. [5]This can also in inappropriately /.ina'praupriitli/
clude high-stn\ss living situations such as poverty; homeless^ ss; 不适肖地

combination /.kombi'neij an/ n.
Secondly, [8]let^ us take a look at the symptoms of depres
结合
sion. Although depression varies from person to person, there are
prescribe /pris’kraib/ v/• 开(药)
some common signs and symptoms. Here are some m^jor symp
reason /Vi:zan/ v•劝说
toms that people have when they're depressed.
1. Depressed mood, a person may report feeling “sad” or outweigh /.aut’wei/ v•超过
"empty" or may cry frequently. Children and adolescents may ex obesity /au’bi:sati/ n•过度肥胖
hibit irritability.
2. f91Weight changes, significant changes in weight when not attempting to gain or lose may be
indicative of depression.
3. [10]Sleep disturbances, insomnia or sleeping too much may be a symptom of depression.
4. [lllFeelings of worthlessness or guilt a depressed person may feel that they have no value or
they may feel inappropriately guilty about things they have no control over.
5. u Brain FogM, it means a depressed person may have a diminished ability to think, concentrate or
make decisions.
6. [121Thoughts of suicide, a depressed person may have recurring thoughts of death, especially
thoughts of suicide, with or without a specific plart
When someone has five or more of these symptoms most of the time for two weeks or longer,
that person is probably depressed. Depression is more than occasionally feeling blue, sad, or down, but
a strong mood involving sadness, discouragement, despair, or hopelessness that lasts for weeks, months,
or even longer. It interferes with a person^ ability to participate in normal activities.
Next, lefs turn to the next main point, how to get help if someone gets depressed. Depression is
one of the most common emotional problems. The good news is that it*s also one of the most treat
able conditions. There are professionals who can help. In fact, about 80% of people who get help for
their depression have a better quality of life—they function better and eryoy themselves in a way that
they weren’t able to before.
Treatment for depression can include talk therapy, medication, or a combination of both.
[13]Talk therapy with a mental health professional iseffective in treating depression. Therapy
sessions help people understand depression and what they can do about it.
Sometimes, doctors prescribe medicine for a person who has depression. When prescribing
medicine, a doctor will carefully monitor patients to make sure they get the riglit dose. The doctor will
ac^ust the dose as necessary. It can take a few weeks before the person feels the medicine working.
Because every person’s brain is different, what works well for one person might not be good for an
other.
[141〇ne more suggestion I want to give to the friend of a depressed perecm is that fritMuls need to
st(、p in if someone seems st^verely depressed and isn't getting help. Although it*s important to be sup
portive, trying to cheer up a friend or reasoning with him or her probably won^ work to help depres
sion or suicidal feelings go away. [15]Depression can be strong tJiat it outweighs a person s ability to
respond to reason. Even if your friend has asked you to promise not to tell, this is a situation where
telling could save a life. The most important thing a depressed person can do is get the right treat
ment
Up till now, weVe got a general idea of depression, including causes, and symptoms of depression

SECTION A MINI-LECTURE
Types of Language Testing
参 考 词 汇 ;]
Good morning, everyone. Today, we'll talk about the language
tests. As we know, the testing history in the world can be traced placement /pleismant/ n. HW
back to nearly two thousand years ago. And in today's lecture, Fd approximately /aproksimatli/ ad.
like to mainly discuss the different types of language testing. 大约
[llThe first one is a placement test which is designed to sort assessment /a’sesmant/ n•评估
new students into teaching groups, so that they can start a course
allocation /•aela.keijan/ 分配
at approximately the same level as the other students in the class.
disclose /dis'klauz/ vt. WsS
f21It is concerned with the student’s present standing, and so
-171
-relates to general ability rather tlian specific points of learning. As
stammer /*staema/ n•结巴
a rule, the results are needed quickly so that teaching may begin.
fluency /*flu:ansi/ n•流畅
A variety of tests is necessary because a range of different
activities is more likely to give an accurate overall picture of a
diagnostic /.daiag'nDstik/ a•诊断
student’s level than a single assessment. 的
Sometimes one member of staff sees each student individually formative /*f3:m9tiv/ 仏 发展的
before the final class allocation is made. This procedure has sev extension /ik’stenj" an//i•延长
eral advantages. [3]It helps to complete the assessment for each remedial /n’midial/ a. 治疗的
individual student by disclosing laciors which inv not ri'vt'ak'd by
morale /mo'ra:l/ /i•斗志
the written tests, either positive ones such as a friendly, outgoing
indication Aindi.keiJan/ n•指示
character or a higher level of production than a writing test sug
fall short 缺乏
gests, or negative ones such as a slight stammer or more than
average shyness. [4]P(irha|)s tlu、greatest advanta^(* of the inter
revision /ri’vi3an/ /i•修改
view is that tlu'iv is now the oppoilunity to assess both oral attainment /a.teinmant/ n. 成就
production (the ability to make English sounds) and fluency (the proficiency /pra'fiJ ansi/ it•熟练
ability to sound English in a social situation) at one and the breakdown /breikdaun/ n. 破裂
same time.
repetition /.repi'tijan/ n. fig
Secondly, let us look at diagnostic tests. [51This test,
rephrase /rffreiz/ v. ® 新表述
sometimes called a formative or progress i( si, checks on student’s
indicator Andikeita/ /i. 指标
progress in learning particular elements of the course. [6]It is
used, for ^xamplet at the end of a unit in the course book or
prospective /pra’spektiv/ a•预期
after a lesson designed to teach ow particular point. Tht、s(、trsts 的
can take the form of an extension of the lesson from a practice mastery /moisten/ n.
phase into an assessment phase. They can provide information evolution /.i:va'lu:Jan/ n•演变
about progress which may be used systematically for remedial
work. The diagnostic test tries to answer the question “How well have the students learned this
particular material?" [7]If his h'aming has been sik ( ( ssfiil, the results will give a considt^rabk' lift to the
student’s morale and he is lik( ly to approach the next learning tasks with fresh enthusiasm. If he finds
he has not mastered the point at issue, the test should give him clear indication of how he falls short,
so tliat he can do some useful revision.
[8]Next, achievement test. An adiievement test, [9]also called an attainment test, looks back over a
longer period of learning than the diagnostic test, for example a year’s work, or a whole course, or
even a variety of different courses. It is intended to show the standard which the students have now
reached in relation to other students at the same stage. This standard may be established for a
coiintiy, as with school-leaving certificates; or it may relate to an individual school or group of schools
which issues certificates to students attending courses. [10]But the important point which is common to
all these situations is that the standard remains constant as far as possihh' from course to course and
from year to year and is external to the individual class or textbook.
Lastly, proficiency. [ll]The aim of a proficiency test is to assess the student’s ability^o apply in
actual situations what he has learnt It seeks to answer the question: "Having learnt this much, what
can the student do with it?,f This type of test is not usually related to any particular course because it
is concerned with the students current standing in relation to his future needs. Efforts must be made
to use in the tests the kind of language which actually occurs in the situation the student will meet.
For example, a test which sets out to assess the proficiency of a student hoping to follow a university
-172
-course in an English-speaking countiy would need to take into account not only his level of skill in
listening to lectures, but also his ability to take notes, to make full use of what is gained from the
lecture in his subsequent writing. [12】A〇 in proficiency testing is to assess in some
way the student’s ability to repair breakdowns in communication, by asking for a repetition or an
explanation, for example, or by rephrasing what he has just tried to say.
[131A rather typical example of a standardized proficiency test is the Test of English as a
Foreign Language or TOEFL It is used by nearly 1,000 institutions of higher education in the United
States as an indicator of a prospective students ability to undertake academic work in English. The
TOEFL consists of the following sections:
一[141Listening Comprehension measures the ability to understand English as it is spoken in the
United States.
一fl51Structure and Written Expression measures mastery of important structural and grammatical
points in standard written English.
—Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension tests the ability to understand the meanings and uses of
words in written English as well as the ability to understand a variety of reading materials. Proficiency
tests sometimes add sections that involve free writing and/or oral production.
Lastly, I want to remind you that though it is convenient to say that the purpose of any test can
be defined in this way, there are in practice several different purposes for every test.
Now, to sum up, in today’s lecture, we have discussed some main types of language testing,
namely, placement, diagnostic, achievement and proficiency. In our next lecture, we will take a look at
the evolution of the language testing.

extracurricular activities that I took part in,
M: Are... are you a classically-trained opera singer?

-W: I guess. I took opera lessons. [5H can’t read music to save my life, but I would just copy and get
away with it I think that they thought I could read music, but I can*t. I would just listen. I did
that for about ten years. I would listen to my teacher and the melodies. She would sing it. It was
really me just mimicking. Thafs one of the reasons I decided I didn't want to do that anymore. I
felt that I really couldn’t be creative with opera. You’re supposed to sound this way here. You’re
supposed to crescendo here. You’re supposed to do that. [3]I had no sense of identity while singing
that kind of music.
M: Who and what are some of your influences?
W: Well, really all over the place. Detroit, definitely because of Motown and Stooges. When you come
from a place like Detroit, [41you,re really proud of what you have there. I grew up listening to a
lot of that stuff, but also early rock-and-roll like Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and
Elvis. I feel like as I grew older, IVe been working with different musicians, people that are
constantly showing me different things. One of my old bandmates was really into metal and J80s
rock, so I really got into that, too. I also love country, folk, and strong female voices, like Alison
Krauss, Dolly Parton, PJ Harvey, and Kate Bush.

Part Two
M: I was trying to think of comparisons, [6]but I was having a 参 考 词 汇 :
reaUy hard time because your voice is so different. I could
definitely see a lot of that in your music. I couldn^ really comparison /kam'paerisan/ n .比

weird bills. I’ve toured with Freelance Whales and Ted
mini-LP /I. 迷你哨片
Nugent; the spectrum is that crazy. I’d say opening for Chuck
polygamist /pa’ligarmst/».多配偶
Berry was such an important night for me. Anyone that IVe
ever wanted to share the stage with, [71he’s in my top five.
That was really cool. I just felt like, where am I supposed to go from here—I played with one of
my idols. It’s just impressive to me that he is still doing what he does. He’s been playing since
^Os. He just puts on such a good show. Even if he messes up a few chords, I mean, come on!
It’s Chuck Berry!
M: [9]What was the most meaningful song to you on Sister Wife?
W: [9]I think the most heartfelt real song on that album was "Don^ Care About Anything. ** It*s the only
song IVe ever written with just a guitar and singing. Obviously, you’ve spent some time in New
York. I moved there and it was a bit much. It was a bit overwhelming for me. [811 didn’t want to
i^o out. I just felt a little homesick. I was just waiting to feel excited about something. I went
through a phase of feeling kind of dull. It*s really easy to shut off in New York and stay in your
apartment.
M: Why the name Sister Wife for your mini-LP?
W: I call my backup singers my sister wives. To me, they are my best friends. We are all super close.
It’s kind of like the closest relationship you can have without being blood related, to me. It’s a
joke that theyYe sister ivives—obviously’we’renotpolygamists.

觉得无聊。可见D 项符合问题、至于B“她用吉他写了一些歌”在对话中无法得知,因为女士只说了她用吉他

I’ll never forget. [6]My mother was crying, sitting on the recreation/.rekri.eij^n//i.冉创造
couch watching the news, and I was very young. And it was archive /a:kaiv/ n.
this very powerful moment in my childhood watching my feminist /feminist/ /i. 93 女平等主
mother so connected to someone. So I guess you could say 义者
she is one of my biggest icons. As well as, you know, David replicate /Veplikeit/ v. K 制
Bowie, wonderful.
M: Did the family encourage you to sing and dance and perform?
W: Yes. My mother was actually in musical theater when she was younger, and my dad was in a
Bmce Springsteen cover band for many years. He was a real Jersey Shore boy. And they were al
ways very supportive. They always—you know, I think more than anything in my house growing
up, my parents instilled a very strong work ethic in me and my sisters. [7]So as long as I worked
hard at whatever it is that I wanted to do, they were OK with me^ doing it. But if I was ever lazy,
I would—I would reckon that they would perhaps not want me to do it.
M: How did you come up with the idea—[S]ilu* incTedihle id('a of ilu s(* costumes? Of not just singing
and dancing, but the way you present yourself. How did that come about?
183
- -W: Well, some of the tilings I wear are obviously created for me by designers or they*re recreations of
archives of things worn in the ’70s and in the ’80s. But lots of the newer more original pieces,
theyYe meant to be kind of a rejection of what people view about women. I am a feminist. [9]And
I want to change the way people view women and change. Fm trying to push the limits, push the
boundaries as much as I can. And I also really love—love the way I dress. And it brings me a
personal joy and satisfaction in my own life that I like to share with my fans. I also txy to create
things that are quite easy for my fans to replicate. Some of them not so much. But some of them
are very easy for my fans to replicate, and that bonds us in a way. It’s quite nice to have this
connection to them outside of everything else.
M: OK. This is CNN, and we have Lady Gaga tonight. Stay tuned, we’ll be right back.
6. What influence did Princess Diana's death bring to Gaga's family?
【B | 【解析】Lady Gaga在谈到鉞安娜王妃去世的时候,她说她看到她的妈妈哭笤看电视。可见她妈妈对戴安娜王
妃的去世感到很痛心,选B 项。

核对选项。
8. What do we know about Gaga's dressing style?

化,选C 项。
9. What does Gaga believe her way to dress can do?

看法,挑战极限。A 项与之相符,为答案。至于C 和D 项,都只是一些片面的情况,Gaga并未提及她要引领70、
80年代的复古风潮;她提到她的一些服装很容易让粉丝们模仿制作,但并非要“吸引更多的粉丝去复制”,D项
推断过度。
10. What do we learn from this part of the interview?
|A]【解析】在第二部分访谈刚开始时,主持人就问Gaga冇没有觉得A 己是一个icon(风云人物)时,Gaga说不会,
她希望自己死了之后众人才称其为icon,可见A 项的表述是正确的„

goals. [5]Slowly you start to gain knmvl(、(ige on positive thinking, visualization, goal setting, the power
of beliefs, refraining, discipline, etc. You find you have some measure of success with each “tool” you
discover, [6]but you then r(、aliz(、it’s only (、fT(*(.li\(、for a lilll(» while. [7)Tlu»n» an» so many i)irc(\s to \hv
puzzle of human achievement out there that you feel overwhelmed with information. You feel as if
there's so much to learn and so little time and each time you think you found the key to it all, you
-187
-read about yet, another key to success, and another, and another, to the point where you go on a
seemingly never ending hunt to gather all tlie pieces of the jigsaw puzzle together. This is the phase
where most people get stuck. They start chasing their own tails. One more book, one more article, one
more principle, one more tip, then I’ll find that missing link Tm looking for. They never apply what
they learn and instead seek comfort in knowledge alone. Whafs worse is that some stubbornly insist
on one principle, thinking that's it's the key to it all, like afTirniations, or visualization, but they in
evitably find out that itfs not what they were looking for. When youVe read enough literature on the
subject of goal achievement and start to apply some of the knowledge youVe learned, you then start
the journey of your third phase.
[8JThis third phase involves putting the pieces of the puzzle together. You cease looking at the
things you learned as separate from one another and you start to realize that they are all part of one
big picture. You start putting two and two together. [9]You realize that positive thinking is linked to
your power of choice to shape reality, which then influences the way you perceive things, hence influences
your future actions. [lOJYou realize your beliefs were acting like lens that perceived reality to be con
ducive to _your beliefs, thereby shaping your actions without even knowing it. Slowly you start to merge
the little pieces into bigger pieces in order to assemble the big picture and then the fourth and final
phase hits you like a ton of bricks.
[ll]The fouilh and final ph;LS(' of st'lf iinprovenu'nt involves realizing tliat \hnv is a natural process
to human achievement and the cycle then completes full circle. You come back to the first phase,
namely that everything you needed to accomplish anything you wanted was inside of you, but this
time, you are conscious of it. [12]Y〇u understand it on a deeper level that you couldn’t feel before,
because now you^re not hindered by formula or technique, [13]but rather freed by nature in all its sim
plicity. Realize that there is a natural process to achieving your goals. Long before any self improve
ment books were ever written, people were achieving great things without them. They dicing need Tony
Robbins or Jim Rohn. It was inside them the entire time. The reason why you see so much literature
on self improvement whenever you go to a bookstore is that people have forgotten this basic fact, that
what they are seeking is already within them, that they already have the means within them to achieve
their goals. These books just provide people with the **pumpM to wake them up. Now the search begins
for the how. When they accept the fact that they have what it takes and go on that how to phase,
they find themselves overwhelmed with so much information that they just don*t know what to make
of it
In addition, how to deal with the barrier when you find yourself stuck there. Here's my advice:
[14]YouVe got to start seeing how everything fits together. [15]Realize that there is no one key to suc
cess. I know youVe read countless books and articles that highlight one principle as the key to suc
cess, like believing, or perseverance, or hard work. Clear your niind of that kind of narrow minded
thinking right now. Once you figure out how to achieve your goals naturally, you won’t need those
books like you used to. You’ll have come full circle and that’s when the real fun begins.

I 名师点评I
SECTION A MINI-LECTURE
Advice for Students: How to Talk to Professors
Good afternoon. Today Fd like to give you advice on how to 参 考 词 汇 i
talk to professors. A while back, I recommended that students get
intimidate /irTtimideit/ w•恐吓
to know their professors. I realize, though, that many students are
intimidated or put off by their professors. This is especially so put o ff延期
when students need something—a favor, special help with an decency /diis^nsi/ n . «}{*
assignment, or a second chance on a test. jaded /*d3eidid/ a. 褚疲力尽的
It doesn’t need to be that way. ["Professors are people, just
take sth. with a grain of salt
like everyone else, and if you approach your professors with the 半信半疑
same basic respect and decency you off(T
v\r\y〇\w
else you ini(M-
flaming /fleimir]/ a.猛烈的
act with, you’ll probably find that they react with the same.
whopper /*wt)pa/ w•弥天大谎
There are, though, a few things that you should keep in mind
dispensation /.dispenseijan/ n .
when you talk to your professors, especially if you*re going to ask
分配
for a particular favor:
felony/felani/n. iRIP-
[21The first thing you should remember to do is: call them by
conviction /kan'vikjan/ n.定邪
the right title. A M Doctoris someone with a PhD; not all pro
reference letter 推荐信
fessors have a PhD • “Professor" is usually appropriate, unless
you’ve been told otherwise. I prefer to be called by my first hint /hint/ n. 细微的迹象
name, and I make that point clearly on the first day of class; if favoritism /feivaritizm/ /I.偏爱
your professor hasn’t said anything about this, you’re better off sleazebag /*sli:z.baeg/ /i.卑關人
not using their first name. If you’re totally unsure, a “Mr.” or flirtation /fl3:’teijan/ /i. 调悄
MMs.M is usually fine. Do not use "Mrs.w unless the professor her
slide /slaid/ v. 下降
self uses it

no mallrr under what situations, t(、ll lh(k truth.
lawsuit /b:sju:t/ /i. 官司
After the first couple of semesters of teaching, your average
miserable /"mizarabl/ a. 痛苦的
professor has much heard it all. It’s a sad fact, but true
commitment /ka’rmtmant/ /i•投
nonetheless, that we grow jaded and take all students’ excuses
人
with a grain of salt. If a professor thinks he or she is being
curiosity /.kjuari’nsiti/ n.好奇
played, they’re not going to respond very well to whatever
request you have to make, [4]so you migh^ as well be honest. If
you feel you absolutely must lie, at least make it a huge flaming whopper of a lie, so the professor
can get a good laugh when they share it at the next faculty meeting.
Thirdly, be prepared to do the work. If you’ve missed an assignment or a test or are falling behind
-195
-in your reading, [5jand you are seeking help to get caught up or a special dispensation to make up the
assignment you*d better be prepared to do the work—and generally under more difficult circumstances.
I get the impression that a lot of students imagine I might just say 4tdon*t worry about it, Til give you the
points anywaywhich, of course, is not going to happen.
[6]Fourthly, be clear and concise. Unless youVe paying a "social callM, get to the point quickly: [7]tell
your professor what you need or want and be done with it. Don’t spend 30 minutes explaining your
childhood and family arrangements and how hard it is getting a job with a few felony convictions on
your record and blah blah blah for a 10-point assignment. Simply say "Professor, I missed an assign
ment, can I make it up? Can I do something else?'*
Lastly, remember to pay social calls. Your professor is probably required by school policy to be in
his or her office and available to students for a set number of hours per week. On top of that, most
professors like talking to students—it’s part of the reason we took the job. Pay your professor a visit
or two, just to talk. Tell him or her about the work youYe interested in or about problems you*re hav
ing. [81Build relationships with your professors—at the very least they’ll remember you when you call
up three years later asking for a reference letter.
On the other hand, there are things you should remember not to do:
[9)First of all, do notj under any circumstances, flirt. The days of professors marrying their
promising students are long, long gone. Nowadays, even the hint of favoritism can ruin a professors
career—let alone any actual relationship-type behavior. Unless your professor is a total sleazebag,
[101 any sign of flirtation will make him or her shut down immediately. They simply cannot risk it.
[lllSecond don’t always prepare for satisfaction. Depending on how far youVe let your studies
slide, there might not be anything a professor can do and still be fair to the rest of his or her stu
dents. Or it might not be technically possible: arranging make-up tests, for example, is difficult Your
professor probably spent hours writing his or her syllabus, and probably spent another hour explaining
it to you at the beginning of the class, so he or she’s got a lot invested in the rules it explains. So of
ten a professor won^ or can*t help you. [12]Your only option might be to shift into damage control,see
what you can do, and ask honestly if you can continue in the class.
Third, don*t threaten. Professors get threatened with lawsuits a lot, and even threats of physical vi
olence are not unheard of when things don't go a student's way. [13]Obviously, professors aren’t going
to respond very well to threats. If you find yourself needing to resort to threats, chances are you proba
bly don^t have much of a reason for a professor to help you out, and you should start thinking about
how to do better next time.
[14]As I said, most professors will respond in kind if you treat them openly and decently. We dici
ng become professors because we wanted to make students* lives miserable. We became professors out
of a passion for our disciplines and a desire to share our knowledge with you. [15]As a general rule,
professors respect commitment and genuine curiosity, and will go out of their way to help if they feel
you are honestly interested in doing well. On the other hand, professors get to feeling pretty used by
the numerous students who work hard only at gaming the system, and if they feel youYe one of those
students, they’re not likely to bend very far to make life easier for you. Good luck!

M: What are the biggest misconceptions about librarians?
W: That we're stodgy, boring, formal. New librarians are just as likely to have tattoos. Many people
don't know that being a librarian requires a graduate degree, and most people don't know that [2]
todays librarians are very tech-savvy.
M: Did you always want to be a librarian?
W: No. In my generation, there were not a lot of choices for women. [3]It opened up to me to work
in a libraiy while I was getting my t(*a( hinj» credential. I really liked it much better than \hr leach

fD]【解析】访谈中,Jessica提到人们对图15管理员最大的误解时说,人们不知道阁书管理员的电脑技术相当好,
后来乂多次提到电腩在其工作中的重要性。闪此D 项为正确答案。
• 198 -3. Why did Jessica become a librarian instead of a teacher?
[B1【解析】Jessica说她的志向不是当阁书管理员,而是在她等待领取教师资格证的时候,阁朽宵理员T.作的大门
恰好向她敞开了。可见她成为图书管理员只是刚好碰到合适的机会罢了。因此,B 为正确答案,当听到说话
人作否定回答时,应注意其后紧接着的补充说明,此处Jessica在M 答了 N o 之后解释了她成为图书管理员
的巧合。
4. What is Jessica's view on being a librarian?

学历等等。可见,在她看来,一个图书管理员应该是一个多面手,可以处理多种事情,故选A 项。

M: What do you like most and what do you like less in your
work?
W: I like to read books and recommend those that I liked. I don't like to lend DVDs and see that they
get more and more popular at the expense of books.
M: What specific kinds of books did you ei\joy reading when you were young?
W: I seldom borrowed the classics because we had to read them in school during the regular year.
[7]IVe always loved murder mysteries, a lot of poetry from World War I. We just read about anything
we could get our hands on, and I was lucky to have parents that didn't restrict what we read.
M: Among children's books, are there some older classics that continue to be popular today?
W: Anything Disney made a movie of. That gave a lot of publicity to some good books. The Tom
Sawyer, adventure-type things; Agatha Chi'istie for some of the sixth graders. Of course, families
that read together often pick Heidi, Treasure Island—just good children's books. Interestingly, [10]
with the advent of TV. they don’t have to put those long (k、sni|>ii(>ns uf sui ()r ilu、m. We
also elect congressmen from single-member districts. For example, we elect 435 members of the House
of Representatives from 435 districts, one member for each district. Statistically, this kind of election fa
vors the m^jor parties. The system of elections makes it easy for the [9]m^jor parties to maintain their
dominant position, because they are likely to win more than their share of the offices.
203
- -As it has been clearly showed that one of the great consequences of the system is that [10]it
produces majorities au^on)班ically. Because there are only two competitors in the running, it is almost
inevitable that one will receive a majority. [11 IMoreovei*, th§ system tends sUghtly to exaggerate the
victory of the winning party. This is not always true, but the strong tendency to produce majorities is
built into the system.
[121In over 200 years of constitutional history, Americans have learned much about the way in
which the system can be managed so as to maki' possible tiw peac eful transfer of power from one
party to the other. At the level of presidential elections, the party in power has been overturned by the
party out of power nineteen times, almost once a decade. In the election of 1860, the political system
broke down, and the Civil War, the worst disaster in American history, resulted. Our history justifies
our confidence in the system but also shows that it is not foolproof.
[13]The second m^jor party is able to survive a defeat because the statistical tendency that ex
aggerates the victory of the winning party operates even more strongly in favor of the second party a
gainst the third, fourth, and fifth parties. As a result, [14]the defeated m^jor party is able to maintain a
monopoly of the opposition. The advantage of the second party over the third is so great that it is the
only party that is likely tx> be able to overturn the party in power. It is able, therefore, to attract the
support of everyone seriously opposed to the party in power. The second party is important as long as
it can monopolize the movement overthrow the party in power, because it is certain to come into
power sooner or later.
Another consequence of the two-party system is that whereas minor parties are likely to identify
themselves with special interests or special programs and thus take extreme positions, [15|the major
parties are so large that they tend to be moderate. Evidence of the moderation of the m^yor parties is
that much business is conducted across party lines. What happens when the Democrats control one
house of Congress and the Republicans control the other? About the same volume of legislation is
passed as when one party controls both houses, although some important legislation is likely to be
blocked temporarily. It is possible to carry on the work of the government even when party control is
divided because party differences are not fundamental.
Finally, to sum up the lecture today. As we know that it is not an easy job to fully understand
the two-party system in the United States of America. Therefore, I hope this lecture will at least give a
gist of the history of the two-party system and how it works as one of the most complete political sys
tems in the world.

M: You know, I wonder how this revelation came to you, you know, this is going to be a thing, for

line. And... and I appreciate and understand how people could be cynical, that's fine, I accept that.
M: Why do you appreciate that people can be cynical?
W: [51Because I think we live in a society, that,where people are naturally suspicious of acts of al
truism or generosity.
M: Or maybe they might be suspicious because they might think, well, you know, Madonna changes all
the time. Is this simply another fad, a trend, or just a new; is this something that is really core to
Madonna.

-W: My re-inventions are part of my evolution and my growth as a person. TheyYe aspects of it that

It’s just too difficult... it’s too traumatic.
1. Why did Madonna feel morally obliged lo help children in the African nation of Malawi?
【C ] 【解析】主持人问麦当娜为何觉得有责任帮助那些孩子,麦巧娜说,那些孩子所处的境况与她以前的经历有些

W: [10】That my s()^l reached its true potential. And that I did gv母ything that I was put on this Earth
to do…
M: Well, thank you, Madonna.
6. According to the interview, what do we know about David?
[A】【解析】麦当娜提及收养David的过程很闲难,可见A 正确对话没有提到收养David时,他有多大,也没提到
他淘气得让人无法忍受,因此B 和C 属于无中生有;D 属张冠李戴,成为养父母的是麦当娜。
7. Why do social workers go to Madonna's home?
[A】【解析】在谈到养子David B;丨,麦肖娜还提及了 social workers对她做的事情,包括了检査她是否是一位合格
的母亲、David的健康状况、提问各种攻击性的问题以及进行心理评估等。A 与对话内容相符合,故为答案。

Time Management for College Students
Good morning, everyone. Today Tm going to talk about time 参考词汇丨
management in college for you. In college, as with life in general,
workload /"w3:k.laud/ ;».工作量
there never seems to be enough time to go around. One of the
cram /kraem/ v•死记硬背
most difficult challenges you will face [l]as you make the transi

[2]One of the^ reasons that high school seems so easy in

comparison to coUege is that others manage time for you. In high
school, both your teachers and your parents actively involved

you needed to go, and that all your work was done on schedule. over-commit v. 过度使用
[SlMoreover, yoiir high school workloads were generally lighter drain /drein/ n.消耗

than those^jrou will encounter in college, and also [4]because
more of the^work in high school involved simple memorization as /prau’kraesta.neijan/n•拖延

for you to “cram” the night before a test and still get a good budge /bAd3/ v.(使)微微移动
grade. flawlessly /*fb:lisli/«/.无瑕地
In college, the responsibility for scheduling your time and
making room for all you have to do rests squarely on your shoulders. It is one of the most important
study skills that you need to master, but it^s also one of the most difficult. [5]When you're in college,
conflicting responsibilities pile up quickly—m ultiple classes, work, campus activities, social obligations,
and so forth. Learning how to best use your time and to avoid a semester filled with all night study
sessions is a challenge. One of the most serious mistakes you may make is to commit the error of
thinking that you have "plenty of to get things done.
College is not like high school in this regard. You simply cannot get by in college with only last-
minute efforts on assignments, and thus you must learn to manage your time wisely.
Here are some time management tips for you.
[GJFirst, use a time chart. It*s almost impossible to remember everything you need to do in your
head. You need a system to keep track of all your deadlines and obligations. A time chart is a tool
that you can use to find the best time for different types of activities. College students have a unique
time management challenge in that portions of their schedule are fixed classes with lots of "free" time
in between, while the rest is pretty much wide open.
[7JAs a student, tim^ charts help you add some additional structures to your schedule based on the
best times for different types of activities. For example, you may find your peak times for mentai con
-219-centration and studying, and schedule study blocks for your most difficult classes during these periods.
[8]Time charts can also help you add more balance to your schedule. Some college students focus too
much on studying, and not enough on other types of activities like sports, recreation, and social events.
Second, plan out your time. It’s not a good idea to pick up your books and start working until
you*re finished—because you may not have enough time to accomplish all your tasks. Figure out how
much time you have for each assignment, and plot this out in your calendar. [91Try to give yourself
some ejctra time for each assignment in case one takes longer than you expected.
[10]When you plot out your time^ be sure to schedule Jn study breaks. Working straight through
without a break can make you less efficient and somewhat insane.
[lljThird, prioritize. If you have a long list of tasks to complete, you may need to prioritize and
spend more time with some tasks than others. If that chemistry lab is simply more important than that
history paper, allot more time to the lab—although be sure to leave yourself a reasonable amount of
time for the paper as well. You^il also need to prioritize activities, work, and any other obligations.
An important part of prioritization is to avoid over-committing your time. In order to get the most
important tasks completed well, it may be necessary to make fewer obligations to campus organiza
tions, friends, or other drains on your schedule. Learn how to say no.
[^jFprthj avoid procrastinations and distractions. Scheduled study breaks are a good thing. Procras
tination is not. Ifs difficult and perhaps impossible to avoid all procrastination, but if youVe going to
manage your time effectively, you need to learn how to keep it to a minimum. In a world full of text
messaging and computer games, the distractions available to students are abundant and hard to resist.
A detailed schedule is one good way to help you keep on track and avoid wasting time.
[131Finallyt take responsibility for time management In college, nobody is there to manage your
time but yourself. Constant reminders about deadlines and obligations won*t frequently come to you as
you were in middle school. [14]You need to take the initiative and get yourself organized. [15]Do
not budge from your schedule of activities iinle^ is an emergency situation. Only by practice,
your skills for time management will be utilized to its fullest.
To sum up briefly, we've discussed the differences of time spent in college and in high school as
well as tips of time management. Remember, time management is a learned skill, and it might be a
new skill for you. If you txy to organize your time and it doesn^t go flawlessly at first, never fear. The
more you manage your time, the easier this habit will become. I hope all of you have enjoyed this
lecture. Best of luck, students!

SECTION A MINI-LECTURE
How Practice Can Damage Your English
Good morning, everyone. Today, I am going to talk about the 参 考 词 汇 :
negative role of practice in English learning.
reinforce /,ri:in’fa:s/ 加强
If you ask “How can I learn to speak English better?’’,many
constantly /"knnstantli/ <«/.不断地
people will tell you "Practice, practice, practice". “Speak and write
in English whenever you can"一they will say. All English classes paradox /peeradoks/ n .似是而非
are full of activities which involve speaking and writing which are 的说法
supposed to help you with your English.
approach /a’praut" n•方法
We agree that practice can be very useful. It*s even necessaiy eliminate /ilimineit/ w .消除
to learn English well. So what^s the problem? The problem is contrary /"kontrari/ n. 相反
that for many learners, “speaking" or “writing" means “making a invent /in’vent/ v/.发明
lot of mistakesSome people make a mistake in every sentence! fluency /flu:ansi/ n. 流利
If you don't make many mistakes, then you can speak or write in correction /ka’rekJan/ 更正
English and it can only help. HIBut if you make many mistakes, error-free fl. 无差错的
then eveiy time you write or speak, you reinforce your mistakes. motivation /.mauti'veijan/ n. 动
As you write or speak, you repeat your mistakes constantly and
机
your incorrect habits become stronger. input /"input/ n•输人
Imagine this situation: You are writing an e-mail message in
imitate /丨miteit/ 吡 模仿
English. Your English is not perfect and you want to write the
technique /tek.ni:k/ n. 技术
message quickly. You write incorrectly: “I want speak English.”
occasionally /a’kei3anali/ •偶尔
When you write a sentence, you also read it. So the incorrect
地
sentence goes intx) your head. The next time you write a message,
you will be more likely to write 41I want finish** or 44I want be happy". Why? Because MI want speak
English” is fresh in your head—youVe just used it! [2]And when you write “I want do something” the
second time, you^ve got a^bad habit”,or a reinforced mistake.
Now do you see our point? You write~you make mistakes—those mistakes become your habit, they
become your way of writing in English. [3]So, the more you write, the worse your English becomes. We
have said that you need practice to learn English. We have also said that when you practice, you
reinforce your mistakes.
Michal suggests a simple solution to this paradox: Never make mistakes! According to what he
says, it is close to the truth that you have never written an incorrect English sentence. You knew
many grammatical structures and you used only those that you knew. Your sentences were similar to
sentences which you knew to be correct You followed good examples, so all your sentences were good.
[4Pn the beginning, you could write only very simple sentences, but all the simple sentences were
correct. [5]Then as you advanced, you —added more and more complicated structures, and again all
your sentences were correct. Because of this approach, you were never reinforcing bad habits. You
never had any bad habits! [61From the beginning, you copied only correct sentences. With every
-2 2 7 -sentence that you wrote, you reinforced your good habits.
[7) On the other side, if you makejnany mistakes, speaking and writing is not the way to eliminate
them! On the contrary, it reinforces them, as we have shown earlier.
[8] You have to realize that speaking does not improve your grammar or your vocabulary. It’s
really very simple. Can you learn a new word from yourself? If you don’t know how to say “Good
bye” in English, can you invent it by yourself? No, you can^t. You can only learn it by reading or
listening to English. So what you should do if you can’t help but make mistakes in your English
sentences? If you make mistakes, that means you don*t know how to say things in English. You need
to learn how to say them. You won*t learn that by speaking or writing. [91 You must read and listen to
correct English sentences. You can speak and write later —when you can already build correct English
sentences and want to improve your fluency. Perhaps you can benefit from corrections if you get a few
corrections per week. But when there are many mistakes, you become unable to concentrate on them.
If a teacher returns your composition with 20 corrected mistakes, how many of these corrections can
you keep in your mind? Besides, your teacher is not always there. What if you're writing an e-mail
message on your own or talking to someone else? Other people usually ignore your mistakes, and even
your teacher does not point out all of them.
[lOIThe conclusion would be that fighting your mistakes is not easyj so itfs better to avoid making
mistakes altogether,
First, try to be more careful by using the rules of error-free speaking. If you still make a lot of
mistakes, or if you find that the rules are killing your motivation, you probably shouldn’t open your
mouth just now. UlUnstead, try to get more input by reading and listening in English. True, but believe
us一you can learn English with almost no mistakes. How? [12]You can fiU your brain with correct
sentences and imitate them. You can simply follow good examples.
Moreover, sometimes you can say or write something which you think is wrong. You can do it if
you want to learn how to say something in English. [131For example, if you are talking to a native
speaker you can do this: First, say urm not sure how to say this in English, but..." and then say your
sentence which is probably wrong. And the other person can tell you how to say it in English
correctly. FYom that you learn the correct way to say the sentence.
[141 Notice that this technique is only safe if you know that you are saying something
which may be wrong, or you are sure that the other person will correct you if you make a mistake.
And [151you use it only occasionally.
In summary, it should be noted that practice can also serve as a negative factor in English
learning. Hope all of you can find the solution to it from today*s lecture.
1• 【答案】 reinforce // increase
【解析】讲座的主题是“the negative role of practice in English learning(练习在英语学习中的消极作用)”,
在提到人们对于practice看法的时候,讲座人提到了“但如果你练习时有很多错误,那么,每当你写作或说话
时,你是在巩固你的错误”,由此可知答案为reinforce或increase。
2• 【答案】making the same

M: Well, it obviously didn’t work if they’re closing, did it?
W: No, and thank heavens for that. [3]/[4]7//f ('it// niaf is a great paper and you don’t like it
because it doesn’t devote 5 pages every day to baseball stats.
M: [5]This is a baseball city. WeVe got a great team. Why shouldn’t we read about it? Where are we
going to get the results now? [3]Tlie Journal puts all the results in one tiny box on the back page
and The Herald gives them maybe a half page. It’s almost as if they feel ashamed at having a
successful team here. I just don*t see why people buy The Journal.
W: Err, maybe because [4]it has authentic Journalists working there, journalists who know something
about what is going on in the rest of the country and the rest of the world. I think a newspaper
needs to meet all the needs of its readers, not just those who like sports. [4]77?^ Journal did a
great piece^ on famine in Africa last week, did you read it?
M: No, I can^t say I did. I think they should leave that stuff for the national papers or for the TV
news. If I buy a local newspaper, I don't want to read about the famine in Africa. Those articles
are only written by the ambitious journalists who are fishing for jobs in the national press.
W: Oh, you*re so cynical.
1. Why does Gary prefer The Times to The Herald and City Journal1]
|A1【解析】从交谈中可以知道,男士认为The Times是城里最棒的报纸D 女士则W 刺道:你喜欢77说 是W
230
- -为它每天都有20页的体育版吧!可推断A 是正确答案。至于把星座放在报纸首页只是女士顺带提出的不满情
况,并非男士喜欢该报的原因,故B 不对。
2. According to the woman, what is the purpose of The Times'* campaign of saving the children’s
hospital?
【C l 【解析】关于“拯救儿童医院”的报道,女士认为这只是一个噱头,因为这样的事件能够剌激到每一个人的神经。
言外之意是,77w乃_ 这样做只是为了吸引更多读者。故选C 。
3. According to the conversation, what can ne learn about the City Journal*]
【C J 【解析】由女士所说的“你不喜欢77w eAmmo/的原因是它没有每天都用5 页的篇幅报道棒球赛数据”,
以及男士所说的“该报竞然把棒球比赛结果放到了报纸的最后一页,还用小框框围起来”,可知该报对棒球赛
的赛果报道篇幅很有限,C 为答案。
4. What can we learn from the conversation?
[B】【解析】由女士说的77犯 t/oimwi/是一份很棒的报纸(a great paper)、该报有真正的记者(authentic
journalists)、该报上周对非洲的饥荒做了很棒的报道(did a great piece),可知女士对77w? Joizrmii是
持赞赏喜欢的态度的,B 项为答案。男士是足球迷而女士不是,A 项应排除;男士明确提到不想看关于非洲饥荒
的报道,C项与此矛盾;D 项混淆了主语,并非男士感到ashamed
5. In the man's view, what should local papers report?
【A 1 【解析】由男士所说的“我们这里是棒球之城”“我们有很棒的球队”“要去哪里看这些球赛的结果? ”以及非洲饥
荒一类的新闻应留给全国性报纸或电视新闻报道,可知A 项“当地棒球赛结果”为答案,(WB项“国际饥荒”、C
项“国内其他地方发生的事”和D 项“世界上其他地区发生的事”均应排除。
Part Two
M: And another thing. What about the jobs section in The Times?
参考词汇

business, every store in this city knows, if they want to

employ someone, get someone to work for them, they have to
place an ad in The Times. How are ail these people going to get work now? This will absolutely
wreck the local economy.
W: You certainly know how to exaggerate, Gary. Destroy the local economy, will it? [8]I admit the
jobs section was pivuy good in The Times but one of the other two n(、ws”a”(、rs will just get the
ads instead. That’s how things work. This city just isn’t big enough for three local newspapers and
you know it People only get them to see what’s on in town and to see who’s died.
M: That’s so morbid!
W: It*s true. People use the TV or the Internet for everything else. It*s not like it used to be 10 years
ago.
M: The Times was the cheapest of them all too. You can bet all the prices are going to go up.
W: Hmm, you could be right. [9]I think The Times' low price was the only thing keeping The Journal
and The Herald from increasing their prices. I donft buy a local paper that often to be honest. If I
-231 -do get one, I find myself reading no more than a few pages anyway.
M: [10】W ell,if The Times really does close down, tha^s my newspaper buying days finished. I think,
in ten years’ time, nobody in this city will even buy a local paper. It’s a shame really, don’t you
think?
W: My dad told me when he was a kid, there used to be 5 local newspapers in the city and two
others serving only this comer of the state. But you know how it is, companies merge, everyone is
looking for savings, efficiency and so on. Now we^ only have two. It*s survival of the fittest.
6. According to Gary, what kind of jobs are offered in The Times'* jobs section?
|I>1【解析】在谈及jobs section时,男十说The Times刊登的都是一些3 地的职位(always local),可见D 为正
确答案、,注意题0 问的是77w Times刊登的T.作岗位。
7. What do we learn about the Heralds jobs section?
[Cl【解析】在谈及77祕 //mr/d的jobs section时,男士说77论 //ero/d所刊登的职位中有一半是在州的另一边
的(half of these jobs are on the other side of the state),可见 C 为正确答案。注意题目问的是 77说
//era/d刊登的工作岗位情况。
8. Why doesn't the woman care about the closing down of The Times even though she admits its jobs
section is pretty good?
[B1【解析】对话中,男士谈到77w TYmes的jobs section部分刊登的大多是当地的职位,而所有本市的企业如果
要招聘员工的话,就得在77w TYmes刊登招聘广告。因此如果该报停办会破坏当地的经济(wreck the local
economy)。女士对此并不担心,原因是尽宵77紀 的jobs section相当不错,但其他两家报纸一样可以
刊登招聘广告(will just get the ads instead)。换言之,就是其他两家报纸可以取而代之,B项为答案。
9. According to the woman, what keeps The Journal and The Herald from raising their prices?
[D】【解析】在谈到报纸的价格时,男士说The Times是这几家报纸中最便宜的。女士表示同意,并提到,由于77说
Times价格低,导致77w Jowma/和77w feem/d都不能提价。可知,D 是正确答案。
10. What can we learn from the last part of the conversation?
【A 1 【解析】对话结尾部分,男士遗憾地表示如果77祕 真的停办,那他购买的报纸的时光也会随之结束,言
下之意是他会停止购买报纸。A 项所述与此相符,故为答案。

SECTION A MINI-LECTURE
Five Common Mistakes in Conversation and Their Solutions
Good morning. Today's lecture will be fcxrused on the 5 most 参考词汇
common seen mistakes in a conversation and the ways to avoid
ingrained AirTgreind/ a•根深蒂阂
them. But, first of ail, I have a question for you, that is: Can you
的
improve your conversation skills? The answer is certainly. It might
eagerly /*i:gali/ ^ •热切地
take a while to change the conversation habits that’s been in
ego/*i:gau/n•自我
grained throughout your life, but it is very possible. Here are a
couple of mistakes.
delve /delv/ v•探索
First: not listening. Ernest Hemingway once said: “1 like to prod /p「Dd/ v•剌
listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most auto-pilot ft•自动驾驶
people never listen.” Don’t be like most people. Don’t just wait interrogation /in'terageij an/ n.
eagerly for your turn to talk. Put your own ego on hold. Learn to 审问
really listen to what people actually are saying. When you start to vital /Vaitl/fl. 极其敢要的
really listen, you’ll pick up on loads of potential paths m the
mumble /VnAmbl/ v•咕哝
conversation. [ 1 ]But avoid yes or no type of questions as they
monotone /monataun/ n.
will not give you much information. If someone mentions that
tension /*ter\f3n/ /i•紧张
they went fishing with a couple of friends last weekend you can
anticipation /aen’tisipeij an/ n. 期
for instance ask: 44Where did you go fishing?" or “What do you
待
like most about fishing?” You may also ask “What did you do
podcast /*pmlka:st/ /i. 播客
there besides fishing?" The person will delve deeper into the sub
crappy ,kraepi/ a 讨厌的
ject giving you more information to work with and more paths for
serial /siariel/ a.连环的
you choose from. If they say something like: “Oh, I don’t know”
lingo /lirjgau/ ii• 听不懞的话(方含、
at first, don’t give up. Prod a little further. Ask again. They do
术语等)
know, they just have to think about a bit more. As they start to
steer /st 19/ v. 驾驶
open up the conversation becomes more interesting because it’s
not on auto-pilot anymore. prattle /*praetl/ v•闲聊
Second: asking too many questions. [21If you ask too many whine /wain/ v. 发牢骚
questions the conversation can feel like a bit of an interrogation. anecdote /aenikdaut/ /i•轶 V
Or like you don^ have that much to contribute. [3]One alternative cHng /klir]/ vi•.紧紧抓住
is to mix questions with statements. And then the conversation desperately /*desparitli/ 〇//•不顾
can flow on from there. And you can discuss Frisbee golf, the 一切地
advantages or disadvantages of different lures or your favourite
beer.
Third: poor delivery. One of the most important things in a conversation is not what you say, but
how you say it. A change in these habits can make a big difference since your voice and body lan
guage are vital parts of communication. Some things to think about: One, slowing down. When you get
excited about something it*s easy to start talking faster and faster. Try and slow down. It will make it
much easier for people to listen and for you to actually get what you are saying across to them.
235
- -[4]Two^speaking up. Don*t be afraid to talk as loud as you need to for people to hear you. Three,
[51speaking clearly. Don’t mumble. Four, speak with emotion. [6]No one listens for that long if you
speak with a monotone voice. Let your feelings be reflected in your voice. Five, [7]using pauses. Slow
ing down your talking plus adding a small pause between thoughts or sentences creates a bit of tension
and anticipation. People will start to listen more attentively to what youVe saying. Listen to one of Bri
an Tracys’ cds or Steve Pavlina’s podcasts. Listen to how using small pauses makes what they are say
ing seem even more interesting. Six, [811eam a bit about improving your body language as it can make
your delivery a lot more effective. Read about laughter, posture and how to hold your drink in 18 ways
to [8]improve your body language.
[91Fourth: talking about a weird or negative topic. If you’re at a party or somewhere you are just
getting to know some people you might want to avoid some topics. [lOlTalking about your bad health
or relationships, your crappy job or boss, serial killers, [llltechnical lingo that 〇nly_ypu and some other
guy understands or anything that sucks the positive energy out of the conversation are topics to steer
clear from. [12]You might also want to save religion and politics for conversations with your friends.
Last but not least: being boring. Don’t prattle on about your new car for 10 minutes oblivious to
your surroundings. Always be prepared to drop a subject when you start to bore people. Or when ev
eryone is getting bored and the tx)pic is starting to run out of steam.
[131〇ne good way to have something interesting to say is simi)lvf to lead an interesting life, and to
focus on the positive stuff. Don’t start to whine about your boss or your job, people don’t want to hear
that. Instead, talk about your last trip somewhere, some funny anecdote that happened while you were
buying clothes, your plans for New Years Eve or something funny or exciting. Another way is just to
be genuinely interested. As Dale Carnegie said uYou can make more friends in two months by becom
ing really interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested
in you, which is just another way of saying that the way to make a friend is to be one." [14]Knowing
a little about many things or at least being open to talk about them instead of trying to steer the
conversation back to your f^ypujrit兮 subject is a nice quality. The meaning is that talking for what
seems like hours about one topic. Topics may include work, favourite rock-band, TV-shows and more
work. [15]Opening up a bit and not clinging desperately to on(» topic will make the convoi-salion lr(、l
more relaxed and open. Youwillcomeacrosslikeaperscmwhocantalkaboutmanythingswithease.
As youVe probably experienced with other people; this quality is something you appreciate in a conver
sation and makes you feel like you can connect to that person easily.
Okay, just to sum up. Today weVe talked about five easily made mistakes in a conversatioa These
mistakes can be well-improved if you follow our solutions. Although the list is not complete, I hope it
would be helpful.

【解析】录音提到“学会改善你的body language”,因此答案为body language,在这一段里body language反
复出现,厲于关键词,应该做好笔记。

11• 【答案】technical lingo
【解析】关于要绕开的话题还包括只有你和其他一些家伙才能理解的技术术语,因此答案为technical lingo
12. 【答案】politics
【解析】录音提到,“应该避免宗教和政治话题”。因此答案为politics。由空格前的并列内容religion可知,空白

M: Then, what did you find the most difficult about becoming a taxi driver?

Part Two
M: Let^ come back to your work. Are there any unpleasant as 参考词汇
pects in your job?
outdoor /*autcb:/亿 (在〉户夕卜的
W: The only serious difficulty in this work is that it*s sometimes
talkative /*to:kativ/ a. 健谈的
dangerous to drive at night. But you have a choice, and I al
ways choose to work days rather than nights. object /*Dbd3ikt/ vi. (/d)反对
M: Then, what is the best part of your job? fussing /fAsiry ;!.大惊小怪
W: [6]I soon found that what I liked best about this job was
being outdoors, seeing how the city changes from season to season. And there are places IVe
seen that I probably never would have seen in another job, and I love all kinds of weather. I like
to leave the window down in a fine rain. And, and when I have a long drive near the end of the
day, I sometimes go past my home to tell my two little children Fll be home soon, and they always
want to come along in my car.
M: Oh, do they? I guess all kids like to be taken for a ride sometimes.
W: Yeah. But you cannot take anyone along unless they pay or you pay for them. [7]So Til have to
pay their fares one of these days and take them out in my taxi, because they really think it*s fun.
Out in the countiyside on a long drive, with the air fresh and the sun shining, you just seem to
want to drive forever. At least, that^ how it is for me.
M: Being a taxi driver, you have to meet all kinds of people. How do you feel about that?
W: I eryoy meeting many different people. I might not have met some if not for this job, and I’ve
learned a lot about how people behave in these years.
M: Can you tell us a bit more about it?
W: [8]The biggest advantage is that you come across various characters in your work. Some peo
ple are interesting, some rushed, some pleasant, some funny, some talkative. Some are so pressed
for time that they change clothes in the taxi. Those who are in the greatest rush would sometimes
forget to pay.
M: Have you ever met someone who doesn’t like women drivers?
W: Yes. Once a passenger really objected to having a woman driver, [9】and I laughed at him so much
that he stopped his fussing. Although there has been one or two cases like this, I still think most
people are nice to women drivers. So, this is really an interesting part of my work.
239
- -M: Now, my last question. Have you ever thought of changing your job?
W: Not yet. I might, in a few years1 time. But not at this moment, because I really er\joy my work,
and I do get a lot of satisfaction out of it. So, why should I?
M: Ok, our interview is coming to the end. Fd like tx) wind up our interview by wishing you good
luck. Thank you very much for your time, Juliet
W: Pleasure.
6. What does Juliet like best about her job?
[B1【解析】当问到“你的T 作最大的好处是什么? ”时,女士的间答是最喜欢能够待在室外(being outdoors),以及
看城市在不同季节的变化,由此可推断B“能欣赏自然世界”为正确答案。A “看城市的有趣逮筑”、C“在多变的
天气时驾车"和D “在城外开很久的车”都没有在原文中出现相关信息。
7. According to the interview, what kind of mother Juliet is?
[C]【解析】访谈中Juliet提到,她为了让孩子们开心,而又不违反出租车公司的规定,宁愿付钱让孩子们坐自己的
出租车外出。A 项Uncaring“不关心的",B项 Strict“严格的”,C 项Affectionate“慈爱的”,D项 Permissive“纵
容的”,四个选项中,C 项最合适。
8. According to Juliet, how does she feel about the people she met?
|DI【解析】Juliet明确讲到,最大的优势就是在工作中你能遇到各种性格的人。D 项 different in personality是原
文various characters的同义替换,为答案。
9. According to the interview, what is Juliet9s personality?
|A1【解析】Juliet说到她有一次遇到反对女司机的乘客,她把他嘲笑到他停止大惊小怪。由此可推断Juliet的个性
最有可能是A 项straightforward“正直的,坦率的”。
10. What can we learn from the last part of the interview?
IB]【解析】访谈最后,男士问Juliet是否想问他是否想过换I:作。Juliet回答说还没有,也许一些年后会,但不是现
在,因为她真的很喜欢自己的工作,也获得了很多满足感。因此B 项正确。

How to Write a Dissertation
Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to today’s lecture about 参考词汇
writing. I have known that you are preparing to write a disserta
tion at present. Unless you have written many formal documents dissertation /.disa’teij an/ n•(学
before, you are going to find that it*s difficult! So, in todays lec 位)论文
ture, I will talk about methods for writing a dissertation. completion /kom’plijan/ /i•完成
The foremost things you should know are two necessary
drift /drift/ vi•游获
preparations for successful completion of a dissertation.
aimlessly/"eimlesli/iwi 漫无目的地
【l】The first is A plan imposes a structure on
the project and prevents you from drifting aimlessly for long peri sacrifice /saekrifais/ w. Wtt
ods of time. It will help motivate you to work during tedious or resentful /ri’zentfal/ a.僧恨的
difficult phases and provides the incentive to make sacrifices.
frustrated /frA'streitid/ a.挫败的
[2]The second is the maintenance of healthy balance. The dis
overwhelmed /.auvawelmd/ a.
sertation is such a time-consuming project that it can seem im
不知所措的
possible to lead a balanced life. Without a healthy balance of life,
depressed /di’prest/ a•沮丧的
you may feel angry, resentful, frustrated, overwhelmed, and de
pressed on a consistent basis. [3】In order to maintain a healthy well-being n•健康

hypothesis /hai’pn08sis/ n•假设
your physical, social, intellec luaL emotional and spiritual well-being.
conjecture /ken'd3ektje/ n•猜测
Next, I will provide you with a few general ideas about a
coherent /kau’hiarant/ 〇•连贯的
dissertation. As we know, a thesis is a hypothesis or conjecture.
[4)A dissertation is a lengthy, formal document that argues in de essence ,es3ns/ /i.本质
fense a particular thesjs. So many people use the term t4thesisM jargon /*d3a:gan/ n•行话
to refer to the document that a current dictionary now includes it
defensib丨e /di'fensibl/ a.能辩护的
as the third meaning.
rigorous /Vigeras/ a•缜密的
No. 1: Scientific method [51The scientific method adopted in a
(liss(*iiaii〇n means starting with a hypothesis and then collecting terminology /.t3:mi’rmlad3i/ /i.术
evidence to support or deny it Before one can write a disserta- 语
tion defending a particular thesis, one must collect evidence that unambiguous / •八 naem bigjuas/
supports it. Thus, the most difficult aspect of writing a disserta- 不含糊的
tion consists of organizing the evidence and associated discussions introductory /intra.dAktari/ «•引
into a coherent form. _ ...
导的
No. 2: Critical thinking. [61The essence of a dissertation is
intuition/.intju’ijan//!•/!:觉
critical thinking, not expt'rimental data. Analysis and concepts
form the heart of the work. [7]A dissertation also concentrates
negation /ne’geijan/ /i. 否定
on principles: it states the lessons learned, and not merely the discourse AJiskws/ u•论文
facts behind them.
No. 3: Supporting materials. f811n general, every statement in a dissertation must be supported either
1)> a n'lVri'nce to puhlislu'd scit'niific li!('ralunk or by original work. But, a dissertation does not repeat
the details of critical thinking and analysis found in published sources; it uses the results as fact and
refers the reader to the source for further details. Each sentence in a dissertation must be complete
and correct in a grammatical sense. Moreover, a dissertation must satisfy the strict rules of formal
-243
-grammar. For example, no undefined technical jargon, no hidden jokes, and no slang, even when such
terms or phrases are in common use in the spoken language. Indeed, the writing in a dissertation must
be clear. Shades of meaning matter; the terminology and prose must make fine distinctions. The words
must convey exactly the meaning intended, nothing more and nothing less. Each statement in a disserta
tion must be correct and defensible in a logical and scientific sense. Furthermore, the discussions in a
dissertation must satisfy the strictest niles of logic applied to mathematics and science.
Thirdly, we have to know what one should learn from the exercise. [9]A11 scientists need to com
municate discoveries; the disst'ilation provides training for comnumication with other scic'ntisis. Writing
a dissertation requires a student to think deeply, to organize technical discussion, to muster arguments
that will convince other scientists, and to follow rules for rigorous, formal presentation of the argu
ments and discussion.
When writing a dissertation, we should also be clear about definitions and terminology. [10]Each
technical term used in a dissertation must be defined either by a reference to a previously published
definition for standard tenns with^their usual meaning or by a precise, unambiguous definition that ap
pears before the term is used for a new term or a standard term used in an unusual way. And each
term should be used in one and only one way throughout the dissertation. The easiest way to avoid a
long series of definitions is to include a statement. Then, only define exceptions. The introductory
ch^)ter can give the intuition of terms provided they are defined more precisely later.
Last but not least important is language points. There is a principle we should remember, i.e. [11]
good writing is essential in a dissertation. As for voice, remember to use active constructions. For ex
ample, say 41the operating system starts the device^ instead of *4the device is started by the operating
system•” [121Then write in the present tense. For example, say "The system writes a page to the disk
and then uses the frame" instead of "The system will use the frame after it wrote the page to disk".
[13]Moreover, you should define negation early. For instance, say "no data block waits on the output
queueM instead oft4a data block awaiting output is not on the queue/' [14]At last, you should be careful
that the subject of each sentence really does what the verb says it does. All computer s(.i(”“isis should
know the rules of logic. Unfortunately the rules are more difficult to follow when the language of dis
course is English instead of mathematical symbols. When written using mathematical symbols, the dif
ferences are obvious because “for all” and “there exists” are reversed.
[15]As far as the language points are coiKenunl,山(、n* is a key to success: practice. No one ever
learned to write by reading essays like this. Instead, you need to practice and practice. This is the se
cret to writing a good dissertation.
To conclude, we have discussed some necessary preparations before writing a dissertation. What
follows are some guiding principles, including some general ideas of a dissertation and how to reach a
good writing. Finally, I provide you with a key to successful writing, i.e. practice. After this lecture, I
hope you may find your dissertation-writing smooth.

SECTION B CONVERSATION
Part One
Mrs. Harris has come to see the headmaster of her son’s school to ask his advice about her son’s fur
ther education,
M: Good morning. Mrs. Harris. Do sit down. I understand you’d 参考词汇
like to have a word with me about William.
W: Yes, that's right, headmaster. I hope I should see you as soon sympathy /*simpa0i/ /f•同情
as possible before William does anything he*ll regret. tricky /*tnki/ 〇•棘手的
M: Regret? Mrs. Harris? endeavor /in'deva/ /i.尝试
W: Well, you see, he has his heart set on becoming an artLst. graphic /graefik/ 〇•绘 _ 的

guarantee that he could get a good job afterwards.
grant /gra:nt/ n•助学金
M: He could probably teach, Mrs. Harris.
chancy AJa:nsi/a. 3险的
W: He wouldn’t like that. He says he wouldn’t be a teacher if it
-245
-were the last job on earth. Oh, ha, beg your pardon, headmaster, I didn't mean...
M: Not at all, Mrs. Harris. [2]I wouldn’t have been a teacher myself if I’d had rny way. I’d have been
an actor Jf my parents had let me. So I have some sympathy with Williams problems. Now, let's
see, if he wants to be an artist, he^ll have to decide what sort of artist he wants to be.
W: I don't quite follow you, headmaster.
M: Well, choosing a m^jor can be a tricky endeavor that requires a great deal of planning. What I
mean is if he wants to be a commercial graphic artist or cartoonist, that sort of thing, he might do
very well if he took an art course at a technical college. And besides, the entry qualifications
wouldn’t be so stiff. On the other hand, if he wants to go to one of the m^jor art schools, you’d
better not raise his hopes too high. [3jThere’s a good deal of competition to get accepted. And he’d
have to have at least three O levels and two A*s at good grades before he'd even be considered.
Oh, and there is another thing, he*d have to do a years foundation course first, probably at anoth
er college. He'd get a grant of course, provided he^d got the right 0*s and A's.
W: [5]But art, headmaster,it’s so chancy.
M: I don^ think you should stand in his way, Mrs. Harris. If I were you, Yd let him decide himself.
You'd better accept the fact that [4 ]nowadays young people don^t wony about security the way we
did when we were young. Hobbies are often a predictor of what one should choose as his m^yor.
It is great that your son starts identifying his passions.
1. What is the purpose of Mrs. Harris' visit to the headmaster?
[B1【解析】对话一开始Mre. Harris就开门见山说明来意,想让校长帮忙确保儿子William选择相对保险的专业
以利将来谋生。可见Mrs. Harris目的是为儿子的专业选择征求意见,故 B 为正确答案。
2. What did the headmaster set heart on when he was young?
|A1【解析】对话中Mre. Harris担心William若选抒艺术专业将找不到安稳的丁作,校长安慰说William将来可以
教书,Mre. Harris说儿子绝不会当老师,并为此话可能ft犯校长而道歉,校长却坦言,自己年轻时如果父母同
意他14由选择,他也不会当老师,而会选择当演员。因此A 为正确答案。
3. According to the headmaster, what do we learn about major art schools?
[C] 【解析】问题Mmyor art schools有关。对话提到,如果William想要去专业艺术院校,最好不要抱太高期望,
因为竞争激烈,必须成绩优异才有录取机会,还得先读一年基础课,有可能还在外校读。由此可知,C “入学竞争
相当激烈"是符合专业艺术院校亊实的表述。
4. According to the headmaster, what do nowadays young people like?
[D]【 解析】问题与现在的年轻人有关。对话中校长劝Mrs. Harris不要代替William做决定,现在的年轻人不像他
们当年那样抱心安稳(don’t worry about security) D 项are unconcerned about是原文的同义表达,故正
确。A “不愿意选择兴趣当专业”和B“接受父母替他们做决定的事实”都与事实相反。C “在进大学前知道自己
酷爱什么"指的是William,而非现在的年轻人普遍都这样:
5. What can we learn from this part of the conversation?
[AI【解析】对话开头Mre. Harris就担心儿子选择艺术专业会找不到安稳的T.作,校长介绍专业艺术院校的情况
后,她史加觉得选择艺术专业很3 险 (so chancy)。A 项的take a risk是其同义替换,为答案。C 错在把
in^jor art schools 放宽到 colleges 厂
Part Two
W: Well, I must admit my husband and I wouldVe felt much hap 参 考 词 汇 ;
pier if he'd chosen to do something else. Perhaps it's still not
too late for him to change his mind. You know, [61/1711 could make a difference 有影响
^(*i him a good job with my own firm if he had a s< ic iu at any rate无论如何
decree. You know, and future possibilities... a great salary,
stick to 坚持
opportunities to make a difference in the community, and sup
porting...
246
• -M: From what I know of him, Mrs. Harris, [8]I don’t think heTs the sort of boy to change his mind,
not in a hurry, at any rate. In any case, I think you ought to let him decide. Let him focus on his
strengths and stick to what he is good at. If he eryoys art, don*t force a science mayor, or it will
probably prove disastrous and he will end up changing later anyway.
W: But an artist, headmaster, whafs he going to live on?
M: Making a career as an artist isn't easy, of course. But William's always been interested in painting;
you know that, and this field will give hini the opportunity to live out his dream. It would be a
good idea if you had a talk with your Art Master Mr. Simms. He can tell you more about the pos
sibilities than I can. [9]Lkn〇w he^ thinks very highly of William’i work, though you’d better not tell
William that IVe said so.
W: I suppose I shouldn't wony so much, headmaster. But I can’t say I like the idea—painting pictures
and that, it doesn't seem like real work to me.
M: [10]()n second thoughts, I think the best thing would be for me to have a word with Mr. Simms
first and find out what he thinks of William^ chances of being accepted at art school. It’s a very
liberal training, you know, not just painting pictures.
W: No, of course not. Thank you very much for your advice, headmaster. Fd be gratelFul if you let me
know what Mr. Simms says.
M: Til do that, Mrs. Harris, and in the mean time, don't worry about William. He'll be all right so long
as he does as well as he’s doing at present.
6. Why does Mrs. Harris want her son William to he a science degree holder?
[Cl【解析】Mre. Harris提到,如果William能拿到理科学位,自己的公司可以为他提供一份不错的T 作 a good
job,a great salaries等溢美之词表明她对于儿子找到好工作的厚望,因此C 正确 > 注意说话人婉转表明自己
立场的用语,例如 I could... if,I must admit...。
7. What can we learn form the conversation?
[C】【解析】Mrs. Harris说如果William有理科学位,会在自己的公司给他找个好工作。由此可知C 项“ William的
妈妈经营自己的公司”正确。对话中校长提到,William—直 对 感 兴 趣 (always been interested in),A 项
说他现在没有,与原文不符;虽然Ms. Harris觉得理科学位宥保障,但不能等同于学理科让人出色,D 项的
outstanding没有依据。
8. What do we learn about the headmaster's opinion?
[D】【解析】校长说,以他对William的了解,他不是一个会改变想法的男生(don’t think he’s...)。D “William不会
轻易改变自己的决定”与原文一致。校长明确说以艺术家作为职业不容易,A 项的comfortable与此相反;B
“Mrs. Harris应劝William回到现实”与校长说的let him decide“让他做决定”不符;William (1己想选艺术
专业,C 项中的force“强迫”不对。
9. According to the conversation, what do we learn about William's art talent?
[A1【解析】问题询问与William的艺术才能相关的选项。校长建议Mre. Harris找William的美术老师Mr. Simms
聊聊,他对William的作品评价很高。A 项 is highly appreciated是把原文thinks very highly of转换成了被
动表达,意思一致,为答案。
10. What does the headmaster suggest Mrs. Harris do at the end of the conversation?
【C l 【解析】对话接近尾声时,校长先是建议Mrs. Harris向Mr. Simms征求意见,但在Mr. Harris坚持认为艺术
作为谋生手段不切实际时,校长决定亲自与Mr. Simms探讨William被艺术院校录取的可能性,因此C 为正
确答案。

SECTION A MINI LECTURE
What Can We Learn from Art?
Good morning. Today’s lecture is the very first of a series of
参 考 词 汇 :
lectures on art history. So Fd like to spend some time discussing
with you the following topic: Why do we need to study art history
objective /ab’d3ektiv/fl•容观的
and what can we learn from it?
subjective /sAb’d3ektiv/ a.主观的
First of all, I’d say,if you study art history, this might be a
Islamic /iz1a:mik/ •伊斯兰教的
good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn
in general history classes. [l]You know, most typical histoiy cours
unholy Mn’hauli/ a•邪恶的
es concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history fo mosque /mosk/ 清真寺
cuses on much more than this, because [2)art reflects not only the decoration /.deka’reijan/ n. 装饰
political values of a people, but also their religious beliefe, emo geometric /d3i’Dmitrik/ a.儿何学的
tions etc. In addition, information about the daily activities of our
headdress /hed.dres/ n•头饰
ancestors can be provided by art, like what people did for a liv
statue /*staetju:/ n•離像
ing, what kind of dress they wore, what ceremonies they held etc.
tribal /*traibal/ 仏 部落的
In short, art can express the essential qualities of a time and a
place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding
perception /p9_sepj an/ /i.认识
than can be found in most history books and [31enables us to
learn more things about human society and civilization.
The second point I’d like to make, is about the type of information. [4】In history books, information
is objective. That is, facts about political, economical life of a country are given, but opinions are not
expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective. [5]It reflects personal emotions and opinions. For
example, Francisco Goya was a great Spanish painter, and also perhaps the first truly political artist, In
his famous painting, The Third of May, 1808、he showed soldiers shooting a group of simple people.
His description of soldiers and their victims has become a symbol of the enormous power or [6]the
misuse of this power that a government ran have over its peophv Ov(M* a hundn'd \cars lairr, on
another continent, the powerful paintings of Mexican artists depicted their deep anger and sadness
about social problems. In summary, through art you can find a personal and emotional view of history.
Thirdly, art can reflect a cultured religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art
was almost the only type of art that existed. [7]Churches and other religious buildings were filltMi with
paintings that showed people and stories from the Bible. [8]By contrast, one of the main characteristics
of art in the Middle East was, and still is, its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the
Islamic belief that tJiese images are unholy. Thus, on palaces, mosques and other buildings, Islamic
artists have created unique decoration of great beauty with images of flowers and geometric forms, for
example, circles, squares, and triangles. The same is true of other places like Africa and the Pacific is
lands. Art also reflects the religious beliefs of traditional cultures in these places. As a matter of fact,
religion is the purpose for this art and is, therefore, absolutely essential to it. Traditional art in Africa
and the Pacific islands is different from Christian art. Christian art influences peopled religious feelings
250
• -towards God, but the goal of traditional art in Africa and the Pacific islands is to influence spiritual
powers, that is, gods, to enter people’s lives. [91/[l〇1Each tribe or village there has special cere
monies with songs and dances to make sure that crops, animals and people are healthy and increase in
number. The dancers in thesr < ( ivmonit s wear masks, headdresses^ and costunu^s that they beli(、v(、aiv
necessary to influence gods. So these masks and headdresses themselves are a very part of the art. As
weVe said, art depends on culture. Different forms of art result from different cultures.
Similarly, the way that people view art also depends on their cultural background. This is my
fourth point. [ll)For most Europeans and Americans, art is mainly for decoration. It is something on a
museum wall or in a glass case. It makes homes more attractive. People look at it and admire it:
“Oh, what a beautiful painting! ” Besides, ideas are often expressed in this art “This is a wonderful
statue/' an admirer might say. "It makes such a strong anti-war statement" [12】But in other places, art
is not considered to be separate from everyday existence. It has a function. It has a practical role to
play in people’s lives. A person in a tribal society might look at a mask and say, "Oh, this is a good
mask: it will keep my house safe.M In brief, the way in which people eryoy or appreciate art depends
on their culture.
To conclude my lecture, we can say that art is a reflection of various cultures. [13]But at the
samr timr, we have to renuMiil)(*r that art also reflects the changes in society that take pla(.(、uhrii
different cultures influence one another. [141As people from tribal societies move to urban areas, their
values and beliefs change accordingly, and their traditional art forms begin to lose their function. At the
same time, urban artists begin to learn a lot from traditional art. For example, African masks and fig
ures had a great infliumce on Picasso^ works. [15]And many American and Canadian artists studied Ww
simplicity of Japanese painting. The result is that as the world gets “smaller”,the art of each culture
becomes more international.
OK. This brings us to the end of our lecture. I hope that after today’s lecture, you’ll understand
better the significance of a study of art history. Art enables us to know more about human history, for
example, peopled views and opinions about certain historical events, and what's more important, about
different cultures: their religious beliefs, perception of art etc.

SECTION B INTERVIEW
Part One
Nigel Lynch is editor of Business Travel Weekly.
W: Nigel, thanks for being on the show. Now what kind of prob 参考词汇
lems do airline passengers face nowadays?
takeoflVteik.o:f/ •起 H
M: [l]Well, most of the problems are caused by the heavy volume
of traffic. You know, all airports have a limit to the number
line up排队
of takeoffs and landings they can handle. lounge /Iaund3/ w•休息室
W: So what seems to be the problem? overbook /.auva'buk/ v. 超额汀购
M: [21A11 flights from a busy airport arrive and leave at more or bribe /braib/ ii•贿略
less the same time. If sixty aircraft are scheduled to take off
voucher /Vautja/ u•代用券
between five PM and five fifteen, and the airport can only
off-peak a .作高峰期的
handle a hundred and twenty an hour, that means some will
always be late landing or taking off. And if the weather is bad, you can imagine what the situation
is like. So passengers have to be loaded into each plane and then the planes have to line up to
•252
-take off.
W: So waiting at the lounge or on the plane is quite common.
M: Certainly. And another problem thafs very common is overbooking. Quite often you hear an an
nouncement on the airport loudspeakers,44We have oversold on this flight and would like volunteers
to go on the next flight out" [3]If you decide to volunteer, you may get a cash bribe or a free trip
voucher, but make s^r专 ypu get a gu^i^nteed ^ 夺t on Jh^ flight and 或 立 caJl tp w )\q-
号卿每 n)兔e迦g op 並 e other end. And worse st田,yQu
you discover youVe been bumped off the flight
W: Presumably, if you choose to travel at off-peak times, there are fewer problems.
M: Well, there are no off-peak times. All flights seem to be full, except Saturday. I don't quite under
stand why this is so. You know if there is a public holiday, things are likely to be especially busy.
[4 IThe special fare systems on the airlines* computers encourage more people to fly on less popular
flights. And this means that as a result, all flights are equally full.
W: So what advice would you give to business travelers?
M: I’d say, avoid big airports if you can. [5jThe reason is there are too many flights there. Then re
member not to check your baggage if you can help it. Another thing is, be prepared for delays.
Take something to eat and drink in your hand luggage.
1. According to Nigel, what cause(s) most problems of air travel?
[B1【解析】在采访的开头部分,主持人问到现在的空中乘客面临哪些问题3 Nigel回答,大部分问题是由于空中交
通繁忙而机场的吞吐« 又有限造成的。因此,本题答案为B 项。
2. Why is there limit to the number of takeofTs and landings?
[D1【解析丨Nige丨说到机场的吞吐M 有限时,主持人接# 问是什么导致这个问题.Nigel回答说,“机场的航班降落
和起飞几乎是同时进行的”,因此,选择D 项。
3. Whal is NOT mentioned as compensation for volunteers for the next flight out?
|D1【解析】本题考査对于主动转乘下一航班的旅客的补偿。根据录音,这样的旅客有可能得到cash bribe或 a
free trip voucher,排除A 项“免费机票”和C 项“现金奖励”。但旅客须确保下一航班有座位,并能打免费电话
通知接机人员。接着男士说:更糟的是,你确认过给你预留了座位,到达后却发现自己上不了机。由此可见,预
订机位这一条是不保险的,不在优患措施之列。故选D 项。
4. Why are all flights equally full?
【B】【解析】本题问为何所有的航班基本都是满员的,原文提到,由于航空公司的购票系统鼓励乘客购买冷门的航
班,因此选择B 项。
5. Why does Nigel suggest that business travelers avoid big airports?
[BJ【解析】Nigel谈到,商务旅行者要避开大型机场,原因是这些地方航班太多。因此B 项为正确答案i
Part Two
W: Nigel, what kind of mistakes do inexperienced travelers make? 参 考 词 汇 :
M: [61The first mistake business travelers make is to take far too
much luggage. Remember, take only carry-on luggage, because
typhoon /.tai’fu:n/ "•台风
at most airports, you can get away with two small bags.
breakdown /breikdaun/ n•故障
W: Oh, I see.
overnight /.auva'nait/ •在整个夜
M: [6]Another mistake people make is to think that you have^to
里
pay full price for air tickets. You should find out about the
different ticket options. For example, an RTW fare can save up
stopover /■stDp.auva/ n•中途停留
to forty percent on normal fare.
253
- -W: Excuse me, what is RTW?
M: Round the world. For example, if you are going to Australia from the USA, you could go out via
Singapore and come back via North America [7]And another w ay to save money is to see if a
ticket to a destination beyond is cheaper. For example, a ticket from Amsterdam from London to
New York may be cheaper than one straight from London to New York.
W: That is very useful information...
M: [6jAnd another mistake is to go away for too long. Most people’s efficiency and energy start
to fall off after two weeks away. So my advice is, keep your trips short, only go for two weeks
and never for longer than three. [8]Another point is don’t expect everything to go according to
plan. You need to learn to expect the unexpected. There may be a typhoon in summer, or your
taxi may break down on the way to the airport. In other words, don*t be optimistic about plans
and don't schedule important meetings too closely together. You need to allow time for delays and
breakdowns.
W: Yeah, this is something travelers have to remember when they plan their trips.
M: And another thing, get to know a good travel agent and make sure he gives you the best possible
service. [9|Take discounts for example. A good travel^gent^an get firs! ( lass tickets for tlie price
of business class. This is because he does enough volume of business, and he can get discounts
with airlines on his own behalf. He should pass them on to you. So make sure he indeed does.
W: I think the worst part of a trip is having to travel overnight or being stuck for a weekend in some
dreadful place. Are there any ways of avoiding that?
M: Yes. [10]A weekend break or a stopover in a more relaxing or lively place is often available at a
special cheap weekend rate. Various airlines and hotel chains offer these, and it*s always more
pleasant to stay the night in a hotel than on a plane even if you travel business class.
W: Yes. OK. Thank you Nigel, for all the useful information and advice.
M: Pleasure.
6. What is NOT mentioned by Nigel as the mistake likely made by inexperienced travelers?
【A 】【解析】Nigel提到,没有经验的旅客常犯的错误有:买全价票、携带过多行李,以及旅游计划时间过长。A 项“预
订没那么热门的航班”未在这里提及,故为答案。
7. According to Nigel, what is the other way to save money of air tickets except for RTW?
[Cl【解析】原文中,Nigel在给主持人解释了什么是“RTW"后,指出还有一种省钱的方式是査肴一下过站的票是
不是更便宜。由此,选择C 项。
8. Why can't passengers expect everything to go according to plan?
|AI【解析】本题问的是为何游客不能期望每件亊都按照计划执行。原文中Nigel指出,不要想着完全按照计划执
行一切,要作好心理准备,意外总是会冇的。因此选择A 项。
9. Why might a g(H)d agent get discounts of tickets for passengers?
[AJ【解析】本题考査的是为何好的旅行社可以为游客购得打折机票。原文说,好的旅行社可以以经济舱的价格购
得头等舱的票是因为它承接了大tt的业务。因此,选择A 项。
10. How can one avoid travel overnight or being stuck in terrible places for a weekend?
|D1【解析】本题问的是如何避免夜间旅行或者周末被堵在糟糕的地方,原文提到周末休息或中途停留均可避免上
述情况的出现。选D 项。

Creative Thinking
Good morning,everyone. In today’s lecture, I’d like to discuss 参 考 词 汇 :

life, namely work as it takes up a majority of your time to show subtle /"sAtl/ a 傲妙的
this simple fact. beneficial/.beni’fijal/〇•有益的
[4]At the beginning, one of the most important point is that stifle ,staifl/ 吡 使窒息
creativity will always be in demand, regardless of what industry soar /so:/ vf. 高飞
you’re working in. It's cross marketable and if you’ve developed
your creative thinking skills tx) a point where you can draw upon it at any time, it’s one of those
things [5]that will give you the edge that really differentiates yourself from other people. If you think
about it, most jobs out there are “systemized”,meaning that each person is trained to engage in
repetitive activity. Businesses want to profit and in order to profit, they have to develop efficient sys
tems where each worker is doing their part well and in order to do their part well, they must be con
stantly executing roughly the same set of procedures. Anybody can execute a given set of procedures
with training, but it takes creative thinking to generate what that procedure should be in the first
place. Because of that, [6]deyeloping creative thinking skills is one of the quickest ways to get to the
top of your respective field [7Ibecause instead of following procedure, you initiate and create it. By
utilizing your creative thinking, you can present those ideas and more often than not, if approved by
management, you will be the one initiating and creating a new set of procedures to follow. So instead
of following the repetitive system that was laid before you, you lead thanks to your creative thinking.
You implement your ideas and as you do, you start to absorb new knowledge and experiences that will
help you further down the road. You start separating yourself from other people and what this does is
it starts to open a whole new set of opportunities.
-257
-Secondly, creative thinking is the key that opens doors to a whole new realm of opportunities.
Look at what the Internet did. The airplane. The automobile. [8]The opportunities that resulted from
these ( ivativ(、(、n(l( avors are countless. Everywhere you look, you see the end result of man's creative
thinking at work. When you use creative thinking, you create opportunities all around you. So as you
start researching time management, health and fitness, business and finance, and use your creative
thinking to **stitchM together the knowledge youVe acquired and implement the ideas that result, which
creates opportunities that seem to come pouring into your life. You spend more time with the wife and
kids, have a happier home atmosphere, [9]you have^ more energy thanks to your diet and exercise,
[10]you saw nKmey and nv(\\r an additional sln^am of inconu* lltal you us(» to finiinc(' a sn\v husiiu\ss
you’re working on, you meet people that can help you with your business at the gym and network
with them, etc. The opportunities will come thanks to the fruits of your creative thinking.
[1 "Thirdly, creative thinking promotes initiative and optimism. To be more specific, creative think
ing gets you out of playing a passive role and puts you in more aggressive mode. [ 121A strong sense of

know you have the creative faculty to figure out what the solution is. [14]As a result, in a world where

So what's the easiest way to develop creative thinking skills? [lSlIfs to take seriously your ideas

not stifle it. Let it soar free.
To sum up, creative thinking is one of the best skills you will ever develop in your lifetime and
