  1.M: I spent my summer vacation at north in Montana, the view of the mountain there

  is so beautiful. I think it would be great to live there all year around

  Q: What does the woman mean?

  2.W: Are you going to the dance tonight?

  W: Oh, I understand that you are upset, but, you know there just aren’t a lot

  of part-time jobs out there right now. Try to keep that in mind before doing anything drastic, OK?

  7. M: Didn’t you finish the experiment yet? It was due on Friday

  W: I am having so many problems. The professor has given me an extension.

  8. M: Does my stomach hurt? I haven’t felt very well all day.

  W: Mine’s feeling a little funny too. It began after we ate that seafood last night.

  9. W: I can’t believe that you missed the class again. Didn’t professor Odell say something to you that last time?

  M: Well, this time is different, I had a good excuse. My car ran out of gas.

  10. M: Are you going to the conference in Chicago? I’ve already booked my hotel room.

  16. W: You must be really happy getting such a good grade in such a difficult course.

  M: You bet I am, and what’s even more surprising is how much I enjoy the class.

  17. M: Sorry, I’m late, I had to stop at home after class to put on a suit and

  tie. You know, couse it’s in a world ceremony …

  W: You probably should not bother it. And look around you, half of the guys here wear jeans and sweaters.

  18. W: This campus offers a wide rage of extra curricula activities, whether your interests are athletics, clubs or committee center organizations.

  22. M: I don’t know what to do about my job, every evening the boss asks us to

  work later and later, I don’t mind the extra pay, but I’m just about to stretch to my limit.

  W: Hum, well, maybe you should say something, he might not realize you’re also a fulltime student.

  23. W: Besty really lost her temper at that meeting. She’s gonna have to learn to

  be a lot more diplomatic(教练的)than that.

  M: You are right, but you have to give a credit for taking a stand(表明观点).

  24. W: Wow! This paper looks like it was typed on a typewriter. How did you get your computer printed it make a look like this?

  M: I didn’t, sometimes I think I am the last person on campus who doesn’t use a computer.

  25. M: I am having such a hard time with the history assignment. It’s taking for ever. How about you?

  W: I’m struggling too, why don’t we put our heads together?

  31-35. Listen to a conversation between two teachers outside the chemistry building.

  M: I don’t know, Susan, I don’t feel like I am reaching my freshman class this semester.

  W: Why do you say that?

  M: It’s just they seem to glaze over(眼神呆滞) with noncomprehension, even when I’m talking about the basics, they are not specially motivated either. I know the class is a first year science requirement for most of them. But I’ve got to do something.

  W: Jean, you know Jean White, she teaches physics, she just told me about how

  she livens up(活跃)her classes.

  M: What did she do?

  W: Well, basically, she takes something they are interested in, like music, and tries to relate principal of science to that. Otherwise, the concepts seem to go right over their heads.

  M: Do you mean, for example, she’d use rock and roll to demonstrate the principles of acoustics(声学) and physics?

  W: Exactly, in fact, she said she had used music, and she’d used movies, especially, science fiction in her classes too.

  M: Sounds like her methods worth a try. But I need a few more details. Maybe I’ll gonna see her tomorrow. Thanks

  M: Ouch, how can the sand be so hot when the water’s still cold? My feet feel

  like to getting blisters.

  W: Now, Mark, were you sleeping when professor Brock gave that lecture on specific heat(比热,即:使单位质量物体升高一度所需的热量) in physics class?

  M: I didn’t come to San Diego on spring break to talk about professor Brock’s physics class.

  W: I know, me neither, I was just answering your question, that’s all.

  M: What question?

  W: You weren’t even paying attention to your own question

  M: I was just complaining about the hot sand. Considering what the water’s like, I wonder how the sand can be so hot?

  W: Well, professor Brock’s lecture on specific heat might give you a clue. Water has a higher specific heat than sand.

  M: Then why is the sand so much hotter if water has a higher specific heat?

  W: Don’t you remember? Specific heat is the energy need to raise the temperature of something. If something has a high specific heat, like water, it takes more energy to raise its temperature.

  M: I see. So you are saying that something with a high specific heat, like water, doesn’t get hot as fast as something with a low specific heat, like sand, right?

  W: Right. So sand gets hot faster during the day, that’s why it’s so hot while the water’s still cool.

  M: I guess you are right, I should pay more attention in class.36, What is the woman trying to explain to the man?

  37, What is the man complaining about?

  38, What does the woman say about the water?

  Part C

  39-42

  Good evening, I am Steve Johnson and I represent the American Elm Society. Today I’d like to introduce you to some of the problems faced by elm trees. Many

  of you are familiar with this huge tree. It’s found in many areas of US and Canada in cities and small towns. Well, as you may know, the American elm has been threatened by a dangerous disease. The disease is caused by a fungus, when that fungus infects the tree, it blocks the circulation of water inside the tree. As a result, the tree cells don’t receive water and without water, of course they can’t survive. The tree’s leaves become dry, fall off, and eventually the tree dies. You may be interested in how the disease is transmitted, well, a very small insect called elm bug beetle brings the fungus with it. The beetle uses the tree to reproduce itself. The female builds channels in the wood for the eggs, at the same time, it infects the tree with fungus. The worst thing is that the process seems unstoppable, because once the beetle leaves the infected tree it carries the fungus on its body and poisons a healthy tree. Of course, we are trying to fight the disease, in the past, infected trees were simply cut down. That method reduces the number of the infected trees but it never stop the disease. Now experts are trying to get to the root of the problem, they are working on ways to control the beetle that spreads the disease.39, What is the talk mainly about?

  40, What is causing the death of the infected elm trees?

  41, According to the speaker, what causes the healthy elm tree to become weak?

  42, According to the speaker, how do experts hope to limit the spread of the disease in the future?43-46

  So, now we are in the room with naive art(朴素艺术), produced in the United States

  during 18th and 19th centuries. At that time, people of many nations had come

  together to form a single nation. The future of these people was unknown and t

  hey didn’t share a history together. The absence of tradition created a need

  for inventing a new one . These were some of the factors allowed naive art to grow as an art form in the United States. Because everything was new and without past, there was no such thing as art education. That’s how these artists got to be called

  naive artists. Most of you probably already know the French word naive meaning not have much knowledge. So, unlike professional artists, naive artists didn’t have formal training in different academy and studios. Instead, since they were eliminated by tradition, they made their own rules, were generally self-taught and their paintings had a true feeling for color form and world around them. There’s very little known about early naive artists in the United States because many of them did not sign their works. However, we do know that they followed similar themes. Many naive artists started out as portrait painters. They travel from town to town and made portraits for different families, especially in the days before photography. People generally wanted portraits as evidence of their existence for future generations. Compared to French naive paintings that are less realistic, naive artists in United States painted images that were neat, positive, extremely accurate and almost photographic. Now, in the next room, let’s take a look at naive artists’ work inFrance.

  43, What does the speaker mainly discuss?

  44, How did naïve artists differ from professional artists?

  45, How did the speaker describe the paintings of the American naive artists?

  46, According to the speaker, what factor makes learning about early naïve artists difficult?47-50

  The focus of today’s class is on an important element in the development of United Statescities, something the modern cities need to survive: efficient transportation. The rapid growth of cities in 19th century created a serious problem. Growth obviously meant greater distances between people’s home and their work places. People could no longer rely on walking. By the mid 19th century, some United

  States cities had used railways drawn by horses, but they were very slow. Cit

  y planners understood that without improved transportation cities could not grow any larger and they welcome the invention of system of trolley cars on cables, powered by steam engines. These cables were able to pull cars up to the steep hills of San Francisco and so other large cities installed similar systems in 1880s. But although faster than horses, these cable cars still weren’t fast enough to solve the transportation problems of United States cities. Our real breakthrough came thanks to electricity. Electric trolley move twice as fast as the old horse drawn railways and they were and clean. They designers of electric trolley came up with the new control system that allowed each part to be powered independently and have its own breaks, what’s safer and more efficient than cable cars. Electricity also helped the next great advance in urban transportation, the subway. It solved one problem that the early English subways suffered from, unbearabe smoke of steam engines that made breathing in the subway tunnels almost impossible. 47, What is the talk mainly about?

  48, According to the professor, what problem did many people face as cities grew larger?

  49, Other than their speed, in what way were electric trolley car better than cable cars?

  50, According to the professor, what major advantage for the subway did electricity offer?
