 口语第三题:

NO.1

报纸出通知:新生统一住校,原因有二:一是向学生提供建立学习小组的机会;二是缓解校园停车场的压力。

女的不同意:一,.她拿自己举例,根本没有因为住校而建立学习小组;二,新生住校非但不能缓解停车场的压力,反而会因为更多的学生住校带来更多的长时间霸占车位的现象而造成车位短缺加剧。

NO.2

Reading:

Suggestion: University should allow freshmen to part their cars on campus.

Reason 1: it's easier for them to find a job

Reason 2: they can drive home at weekends

Listening:

The woman disagrees.

Reason 1: freshmen are super busy with their study, it's unnecessary for them to find a job

Reason 2: driving home at weekends will only make them more homesick and make it harder for them to settle in the new environment

NO.3

estimation survey(好像是这个词)就是估算了,举例:公司调查停车位,只要大概了解多少员工就可

NO.4

The letter proposes the school should open classes outside the classroom because good scenery will make the students focus and avoid boredom and the school has installed some benches and seats outside.

The student disagrees with the proposal.

First, there are too many distractions outside. Students will be distracted when friends are passing through.

Second, there aren't enough seats available, it's inconvenient for students to take notes if they have to stand there.

NO.5

阅读:停止爵士合唱团,因为感兴趣的人少,没有必要继续了

听力:女人觉得真不好。

理由一:主要是因为平时训得太勤了,导致很多学生不来了

理由二:没有其他选择了,很多是经典,但不是爵士,女人不喜欢,其他学生也不喜欢。

NO.6

口语三:学校报社计划推出一个pro-peering?project,即,在学生提交Paper前,报社人员帮助同学修改,有利于balabala

女生觉得 不好, 1)报社人员也是学生,不一定给出什么好建议。

2)即使好建议, 也不利于学生的长远发展, 还是培养独立意识比较好。

NO.7

阅读:【公开信】:小报上刊登了来自一个学生的公开信. 倡议大学应该to build an electronic board (电子告示板)at student center.

好处: 1. make student get information about coming up events easily rather than acquiring news at different places on campus by posters.

(之前使用贴在校园各处的海报不一定能让所有人看见,而这个电子告示板在固定的位置,学校的人来来往往能看见,信息覆盖面很大)

2. 学校也会更整洁,因为墙上没海报了

听力:【学生议论】:男学生觉得这主意interesting, 女生反对这个计划.

理由:

It is better to get news from different locations on campus because

1. they are everywhere (more than one place). If they do not go to student center, they will miss the notice. 举了她在图书馆看到海报,所以didn't miss a show / concert的例子.

电子告示板不一定能够像预想的那样,让那么多人获取信息,因为很多人不愿意花时间特意经过电子告示板来看有什么新的消息。举例:她自己上周五去了图书馆看到海报,所以didn't miss a show / concert,如果没有去过就看不到了,所以一个信息不能只在一个地方发布。

2. Even though the new bulletin board was estabilished, students will still do posters because of it is convenient (没有人会提交information, 然后再等它post出来)

question:explain the woman's opinion towards the suggestion and why she holds that opinion.

NO.8

S3阅读:是说学校决定把每个班级的人数从8人增加到15人。原因是有更多的学生apply这些课程,但是学校的faculty有限。

听力;男同学的意见:1、增加人数减少了communication with faculty,降低了小课堂的参与程度

2、既然有更多的学生,就可以获得更多的钱,就可以请更多的faculty解决了人力不足的问题。简言之就是 more students, more money, more faculty

问题是:学校作出了怎样的决定,男同学的意见是什么?

NO.9

大学要建艺术教学楼,女生同意,因为新楼宽敞明亮,有助于创作;对教授的声誉又有好处,因为校外一楼的修建,导致人们纷纷去那个楼去学艺术。

NO.10

Reading: Only qualified students have the right to work at the computer center. There are 3 reasons for this, but they are irrelevant to the speaking part.

Listening:

Man: I don't think it works.

Reason:

1)There should be a minimum grade requirement. How do you decide if a student is qualified enough? The university should offer a computer repair course. (这个地方我不是很确定)

2)Even when prospective students' pass the minimum grade requirement, they should only be allowed to handle situations that aren't overly complicated.

NO.11

Reading Part:

Nowadays, college newspaper hires students from different majors to write for them articles. In the future, they should only hire journalism students to write. This way they can deal with students who are actually interested in news and have more articles completed.

Listening part: Disagree

1) Students in other majors may also be interested in writing news pieces, so the school should encourage those students to write for college newspaper as well. Take this history major for example. He wants to enter the news industry in the future.

2) Having more articles isn't important. There is no point in having too many articles coming in, because the newspaper may not have the resources and time to deal with editing so much writing. The process of preparing an article is complicated, as it includes the efforts of both the editors and the writers. There is a lot of back and forth between those who write and those who review and edit.

NO.12

 Task 3

【学生写信】:

学生写信建议学校的剧院演出应该向所有人免费开放。

好处1:当地居民能够得到free entrainment;

好处2:观众多了演员会演的更有热情。

【学生态度】:男生赞成此建议。

理由1:nearby没有什么theater, 来回的交通费加上演出费很贵。开放学校剧院能让当地居民不用跑很远就能欣赏到professional的演出;

理由2:男生自己作为一个actor, 觉得观众多可以给他鼓励。举例说当表演一段幽默戏的时候,底下只坐了一半人,没什么人笑,会影响表演质量。相反,要是人多,反响热烈,表演也更有劲了。

Question:Explain the man's opinion and why he holds that opinion.

NO.13

阅读:一个学生给的提议,说学校地上垃圾多,张贴画也脏,多。提议学生组成volunteer,分组拾垃圾。

听力中两个学生讨论,一个女生就不同意,她说:脏要看情况,我们学校这么大,人这么多。刚扫干净,又会有垃圾,张贴画,你撕了人家再贴,也是一样的,而且学生到学校是学习的,不是做志愿者的。真要干净校园,学校要雇人,花钱叫专人来干。

NO.14

阅读建议:在学生宿舍中增加kitchen. 理由1)give an alternative to eating。理由2)having fun to prepare and eat with friends

听力观点:男学生同意该提议。理由1)学校餐厅的饭不好吃,如果有食堂就有了另外一个选择。理由2)除了有乐趣以外,还能在准备饭的同时彼此互相学习。

NO.15

口osal of adding seats in the Andreson Theater

要求概括这个proposal以及一个女生的反对。

s不够,很多show是学生们想去但买不了票的-反对:只有少数是这样,大部分show都有位子,所以没需要加seats

B.学校能通过更多位子卖更多票增加收入-反对:收入个毛,这是big investment, construction cost a lot, 而且take years去收回老本。

NO.16

Reading: The univeristy is planning a new writing center to

1) help students organize their thoughts in order to get better grades

2) foster abilities related to actual jobs

The man agrees with him.

First, it helps students gain the experience of running a business.

Second, the current café is far away from the school building. It takes a lot of time to buy a cup of coffee or a sandwich. What's more, it also takes at least 15 minutes to drive to the café.

 口语第四题:

NO.1

听力材料里professor讲述了一个肺鱼的例子:在河水干涸之后鱼就躲在河床上之前就打好的洞里,这样一方面可以隔热、保湿,另一方面可以降低呼吸、心跳频率。

4. Reading part: Priority Effects

environment before the other species come and avoid them to utilize the habitat.

Listening part:

alter the

Priority effects occur when a species that arrives first at a site impacts a species that arrives

later by reducing the availability of space or resources. The species coming first may

There's a kind of small ants(文中始终未给出该蚂蚁名称), when they first arrive a new habitat, say an "askentia(音) tree", their unique habit is to eat part of the tree which produces nectar, because they don't rely on it. They are altering the environment before any other species come.

There is a kind of bigger ants, they're more aggressive and can easily occupy the trees as they want, and can force the smaller ants to leave. However, they rely on the nectar produced by "askentia" tree very much. So the smaller ants stop the tree producing nectar to avoid the bigger ants to take up the tree, so that they can stay living there.

How does the example in the listening part explain the concept of priority effects?

NO.7

阅读:【课文要点】: Negative Ideation: a method used by people to resist desires by adding something negative. 就是说通过联系不好的情况来resist坏东西,帮人解决坏习惯d parasites(孵育寄生动物): animals that use a unconventional tactic to let other animals hatch their offspring for them.

就是说通过联系不好的情况来resist坏东西,帮人解决坏习惯。即 make negative associations with the thing, 这样就可以让这个东西变得less appealing and more resistible。教授用一个自己的例子解释。

听力:【教授举例】: 教授举的他自己戒除巧克力的例子. 教授很喜欢loves chocolate bar because it is tasty, 但吃太多不好. But chocolate is not good. So he used the method of negative ideation to refuse chocolate. 后来Whenever he wanted to buy chocolate bar he would think it is associate with mud which is the mixture of dirt and water, 来reduce the temptation, 就戒了he stopped buying.

教授举例他以前很喜欢吃巧克力,但是过高的糖分让他过于肥胖。为了戒掉巧克力,让自己更健康,他采取了这种technique,他把巧克力切成小碎末然后拍了一张照片。他想象巧克力是mud做的,这样逐渐他就觉得巧克力很恶心,后来就戒掉了。

2、goose:female鹅生过蛋后会move its head back and forth,但是当它的egg被moved away 以后,它仍然这样

问题是:讲一讲什么是动物的这种惯性行为(文中用了缩写,好象是AFS 还是FAS记不清了),然后讲讲lecture中间的例子如何证明的。

NO.9

广告应该忠实于产品的功能,但是现在的广告为了达到吸引顾客的目的,纷纷引用名人说的话,这样可能会误导消费者(quote out of context)。听力的例子是电影,电影开场前,打的广告是引用名人的话,但是电影播放后结果确实是很不好。

NO.10

Task4:

文章:一个proposal, 建议学校拿出一部分activity budget给学生参加 academic conferences.

男生:觉得这个建议不好,有两点原因:1) 活动经费应该就给那些原来intended for的活动,比如cultural activities, extracurricular activities, for example, concerts. 2) 学校其他的academic departments 已经有给学生参加学术会议的经费预算,学生只要申请,教授会决定是否给钱让学生去开会。

要求:summarize proposal, 然后说男生的评价

听力教授举自己的例子解释这个概念。具体为:该教授青少年时期在一家公司工作,负责整理文件。他遇到困难总是不能及时完成工作。该教授没有抱怨老板也没有抱怨工作太多而是想办法提高自己的能力。最后教授提高自己的能力,能按时完成工作,变得非常擅长自己的工作。

NO.13

口4. internal competition

lecture:

教授说自己当教授前是一个automobile公司的总监之类的,他们公司之前有个top sell的small cars, 长得不好看但实用安全。后来别的公司的车挺时尚的,于是他公司为了竞争也产了一款新的more stylish的车。于是他公司的拥趸不买旧款买新款了。但这是必须的,因为为了come up with 其他公司,与其他公司竞争

版本2是developmental response就是植物可以调整自己适应环境的改变。教授举了pine trees作为例子。这种树可以长在阴凉地方或者sunny place。长在阴凉地方,SOIL湿,就不需要发达extended roots system去生存。长在阳光好的地方,土地干,需要发达的根系汲取充足的水分。

Example 1: 车祸后被要求回忆,他们会说出一些有道理但不真实的原因,比如司机在打电话或安全带没系

Way 2: others' suggestions and opinions

Example 2: 车祸后被要求回忆,如果问题是"司机当时开车的速度怎样",人们会被速度所影响

The professor talks about two types of suspense in a movie.

The first type is that the audience feels interesting to guess the end. For example, two heroes set the same goal, but the audiences have no idea who comes first.

The second type is that the audiences know the end but they have no clue how to get to the end. For example, in a love story, the hero and heroine doom to meet in the end, but how they meet each other becomes intriguing.

Lecture: Small Business: drawbacks on home-based business

For many small businesses, instead of renting, they prefer to work from home. Though working from home has its merits, a home-based business has some drawbacks.

1) Can't Maintain a Professional Image

People working in home-based businesses don't set a clear boundary between business and personal life. The customers may think they are not professional and serious about the business. For example, if a home-based business is a catering service that provides food for some major event, a customer would call and not expect a baby crying in the background. However, if it happened, the customer will for sure think that the business is not professional enough for their event and not trust the ability of the caterer to provide good-quality food.

2) Will Affect the Lives of the Neighbors

Use the catering example again, the business may hire two or more workers to help with the preparation of food. These workers may need to park their cars on the street, which would take up the neighbors' parking spots. Having their spots taken, the neighbors would definitely complain.

Question: Describe the two drawbacks of home-based businesses.

Wetland's two benefits for animals.

1). for nursery, sharks lay eggs in wetlands close to the ocean, because wetlands are shallow, there are not large predators, baby sharks can grow safely in the wetlands and survive in the ocean.

作为孕育地。动物可以lay eggs or give birth, 直到它们的宝宝长大成熟。举例,一种鲨鱼在靠近海洋的湿地产卵,因为这里大动物少,可以减少被捕食者捕食的几率;

2). for rest and find food. Immigrating birds, for example, paper, during the long journey of immigration, stop the wetlands to find the food because they can find similar food like before.

question 6【讲课要点】two ways the animals use wetland。

to rest and feed themselves. 举例,一种要cross美洲的migrate bird, 在长途迁徙的过程中需要休息或者觅食,这时候湿地发挥了很大的作用:在这里可以resting and setting,这里还有很多吃的,就跟它们平时吃的一样,所以很适合停留。

Lecture: Two Advantages of the Beta Testing Method in Business

A beta test is an opportunity that gives the intended audience some samples to try the product out first.

1) Get feedback from the customers

The producer can get feedback from the customers who try the product. They will know which aspects of the product the customers like and don't like. A camera company, for example, may give some professional photographers new sample cameras to test out. After testing, the photographers may report, for example, that the flash doesn't work well because it produces too much light. The company will then know they need to work on the flash to make the overall product more desirable.

2) Providing Free Advertising

If the tested audience thinks the new product is satisfactory, it will leave a positive impression in their minds and they may tell others about the product. Even if it't not a perfect product at first, the efforts taken by the company to improve it will convince the photographer customers that the new camera will be very good. They, in turn, will tell other photographer friends about the new product and encourage greater sales.

生物课堂上老师讲解了有些树能够活很长时间的原因-树的适应性。主要有两个方面。

1 通过释放化学物质避免虫害。举例为red wood,树叶和树干中含有天宁酸,所以虫子不能忍受这种物质,所以不会去吃red wood.

2 发达的根系可以帮助在风暴中幸存下来。举例仍为red wood. 说首先有发达的根系stretch every direction, 以及还可以与周围的树木的根系相组合。互相缠绕在暴风中就不会有问题。
