This hypothesis is highly improbable,for a cut in the membrane that opens the pit to the outside air causes no loss in responsiveness,a result that is incompatible with the hypothesis that a pressure change is sensed.④We are left with two other possibilities to consider:Either the effect is photochemical,which means that the infrared radiation is absorbed by a specificcompound,analogous to the light-sensitive pigments in the eye,or the pit organs are sensitive to the slight temperature rise caused when infrared radiation reaches it.The infrared radiation emitted from a mammalian body has low quantum energy, which makes any photochemical effect on a pigment extremely unlikely.Pure infrared radiation can be produced by a laser,and experiments with such radiation of known wavelength provide strong evidence that the mode of reception in the facial pit organ is entirely thermal.⑤Can the pit organs be used for perception of the infrared source in the way our two eyes are used for stereoscopic vision?This seems likely,not only from observations of the precision with which a snake can strike,but also from studies of its brain activity.When infrared radiation falls on the facial pit organ,electric activity can be recorded from the optic tectum,the part of the brain with which the optic nerve is connected.This in itself is suggestive;although the nerves from the pit organ are completely separate from the optic nerves,the same part of the brain seems to handle visual information,which is known to be stereoscopic,and infrared information.The optic tectum has left and right parts,located on either side of the brain.Each part receives input from each eye via the optic chiasma,the point at which the optic nerves from the left and right eye meet.Many of the neurons in the tectum respond to stimulation of the pit organ on the opposite side of the head.This is reminiscent of the way information from the eyes is handled; the crossover of the optic nerve in the optic chiasma is essential for stereoscopic vision and interpretation of rmation from the two pit organs is apparently coordinated and interpreted in a similar way,a conclusion in agreement with recorded changes in the neural activity in the tectum when the infrared source is in a position to irradiate both pits at once.It therefore appears that the facial pits indeed provide stereoscopic perception and substantially aid in the precision of estimating the location of prey.译文蛇的坑状器官①据认为，一些蛇面部的凹陷或头部的凹陷器官是特殊的红外（热）感受器。

About all these,you don't usually hear too much about.Student:why not?Professor:Oh,it's a funny thing about academia.It thinks scholars would do research about every topic imaginable.But actually,some authors,some genres aren't respective very much.So not very much is written them...gothic literature,detective novels.Student:But that's what the conference was about？Professor:Yeah,pretty much.It was kind of subversive,I guess.But there's a whole wealth of knowledge out there just waiting to be explored.I find that really exciting.Student:Sure.Professor:Yeah.Anyway,you wanted to ask me about the final paper?Student:Yeah，which I see now ties into the theme of that conference,since we're supposed to write about a book from one of those lesser genres.I was wondering what about science fiction?Professor:Sure.Though it's a genre that's actually getting more and more respect within academia.There was even a talk at the conference about Jack Vance.Student:He wrote planet of adventure,right?Professor:Yeah.He's a well-researched respected science fiction writer.If you're interested in science fiction,you could look them up.That leads you to lots of other authors and lots of possibilities for your paper.Student:Great.I'm relieved you think that,that's a good genre to study.I'll find a book that interests me and do the paper on that.It seems like most people assume that science fiction is kind of like,I don't know,junk literature.Professor:Yes,a lot of people do.Student:Yeah,but I've read somethings and I think that some of it is really well written and it takes so much imagination to write SCI-Fi.Professor:Well,careful,though,there is a difference between science fiction and Scifi.Student:What do you mean?Professor:SCI fi,that's what you tend to see in films.It has all the spaceships and robots,and it focuses on exotic technology you know factor like special effects，at the expense of a well written story.I think a lot of people don't realize this and tend not to make a distinction.Student:Okay.Professor:But true science fiction is much more intellectual than that. The story is very important,and even though it might take place in an imaginary world,it might have exotic gadgets.The focus is on the plot.Science fiction creates metaphors about our world.And well what it means to be human.It's meant to getpeople to think about real things like history and human behavior.That's worthy of your time,but not SCI fi.Student:Great.Well.Can I let you know next week which book I want write about?Professor:Sure.题目1.Why does the man go to see the professor?A.To find out what the assignment is for the final paperB.To discuss a conference that the professor attendedC.To get a topic area approved for a class assignmentD.To find out the difference between science fiction and sci-fi2.What was unusual about the conference that the professor attended?A.It included presentations by many scholars who were not well known to the professor.B.It included presentations by students.C.It focused on authors who are respected by most scholars.D.It focused mostly on less popular literary genres.3.Why does the professor mention Jack Vance?[Click on2answers.]A.To encourage the man to write a paper about Planet of AdventureB.To support her point that some authors should be researched moreC.To indicate a way for the man to begin looking for a suitable topicD.To demonstrate that science fiction is gaining attention from scholars4.What is the man’s attitude toward science fiction?A.He is confident that it will become more respected.B.He disagrees with a commonly held opinion about it.C.He understands why it is not well respected.D.He is impressed that it includes exotic technology.5.According to the professor,what is a key difference between sci-fi and science fiction?A.Sci-fi is intellectually more challenging than most science fiction.B.Science fiction stories are often made into films.C.Science fiction places more importance on plot than sci-fi does.D.Science fiction makes little use of exotic technology.答案C D CD B C译文1.学生：上周末的会议如何，Miles教授？2.教授：很好，我听到了很多非常精彩的演讲，以及令人耳目一新的话题，而且这些话题平时都没机会听到。

The main point of the book I was referring to is that, well, in a post-modern world, we live in a world of unreal images of simulations. For example, the things we see on TV become a reality for us even though they are not in fact real. They’re representations, simulations of reality.Student: Post-modern world?Professor: Right. It came after the modern one.Student: Gee...thanks a lot.Professor: No, sorry. You are right. Post-modern, well, that’s a sticky term that covers a lot of things. Let’s save that for later. But back to my point about simulation, it leads to hyper-realism, a feeling that something is more real than real.Student: Wow…Wow, I’m sorry. But all this is…I just don’t get it.Professor: Video games, virtual reality, theme parks, all of these remove us from reality. Worse yet, we can begin to think these simulations, these fake experiences are real, or we don’t know the difference anymore.Student: Well, actually I’m starting to think this class is not for me. In fact, I wonder if I might not do better just to drop the course.Professor: Oh, you are still having trouble following this?Student: Yeah, I just don’t think I’m cut out for philosophy. I signed up because my academic advisor…well, I feel like my advisor sort of pushed me into it. Professor: I see. If I may ask, what are you interested in?Student: I want to be a lawyer.Professor: Well, then you need a firm base in logic and argumentation, so this philosophy course is basically a necessity for you.Student: I hope not. I could only get maybe half the lecture.Professor: That’s pretty good then. I covered a lot, probably too much. And these were only some opening remarks for the first day of class. I was just skimming through some contemporary ideas and, well, more cultural theory than actual philosophy, so you needn’t worry. Starting next week, we are going to read some real philosophy, primary sources like Plato, Rousseau, Emerson. And you’ll be able to talk about them in small discussion groups led by graduate assistants.Student: Well, I don’t know.Professor: I understand you are uneasy about this course, but, well, give it another chance, attend a few more sessions, get into your assigned discussion group, then see how you feel. Look, these ideas, like what post-modernism really is. They are ideas that people developed over years, careers, lifetimes. I didn’t mean to scare you.Student: I guess I should have just taken it in the spirit it’s intended, as an intro. You are right that instead of trying to wrap my mind around every little detail all at once, I need to work on seeing the bigger picture and not getting so stressed out. Professor: Well, don’t think you are going to learn all the law right away either. Have you looked at the law library lately?Student: Yeah. Talk about scary!题目1.What is the conversation mainly about?A. Reasons that philosophical concepts are difficult to defineB. The intended purpose of the discussion groupsC. The student's difficulties in trying to understand some informationD. The relevance of philosophy to the student's long-term goals2.How does the student feel about the professor's explanation of simulations?A. He finds it amusing and interesting.B. He feels even more confused than before.C. He is grateful for the clarification.D. He realizes that he already understands the general concept.3.Who influenced the student to sign up for the philosophy course?A. The philosophy professorB. A law librarianC. A graduate assistantD. An academic adviser4.What does the professor imply that she should have done differently in the first class?A. She should have stressed the practical importance of philosophy.B. She should have discussed the readings for the course in greater detail.C. She should not have included so much material in the lecture.D. She should not have frightened the students by mentioning a challenging assignment.5.What does the professor imply will make the student feel more comfortable with the course in the future?[Click on 2 answers.]A. She will explain postmodernism in much more detail.B. The class will read works by writers whose ideas she expects will interest the student.C. The student will have opportunities to talk about the course material in a small group.D. The student will be able to make use of the law library.答案C BD C BC译文请听一段学生和教授之间的对话。

Even he couldn’t get it closed.Manager:You mean you slept with an open window all night?Why didn’t you call the security staff?Student:Well,I came home kind of late,and frankly,it was like way after hours.I thought about calling security.Then I just let it go.But one night of that cold is enough.Manager:Well,you should always call security.Even if they can’t fix the problem themselves,they’ll make sure the problem gets solved.Student:Okay.I’ll remember that.But actually,it’s not just the window.I think there’s something wrong with the heating thing in my room.The radiator,it must have cracked or something,because I just noticed a puddle of water in my room,and the heat barely seems to be working now.Manager:So you are telling me you have no heat and a window that doesn’t close?Student:Pretty much.Manager:Well,this won’t be a quick fix,I’m afraid.Those radiators,they are old and they are not easy to fix.And even if we repair the window today,you can’t live in a room without any heat.Student:You mean I’m gonna have to move?Manager:At least temporarily,until we can get that radiator fixed or replaced.That’s not a one-day job.You sure it’s not just condensation?Student:I don’t think so.You can kind of see where it’s seeping out and the water looks sort of rusty.Manager:Rusty?Yeah,rusty isn’t good.Tell you what,I’ll go look at it right away.Student:Great.Thanks.Manager:Why don’t you come back after lunch?By then I should know how long the repairs will take.Student:Can you give me some idea now?I’m gonna call a friend.She’s got an apartment off campus.She’ll let me stay there,but I’m sure she would like some idea of how long she’ll have to put up with me.Manager:Well,tomorrow is Friday,and if the radiator needs to be replaced,which probably does,we won’t have parts before Monday.So I’ll tell her at least four days.Student:Four days.Okay.Thanks.题目1.Why does the student go to see the man?A.To check on the status of some repairs she requestedB.To complain about the quality of some repair workC.To find out why her room has been scheduled for repair workD.To report that some additional repair work will be needed2.According to the student,why do some people have their windows open in her building?A.Their windows are broken and they cannot close them.B.They are responding to an order from the fire inspector.C.They are trying to clear the smell of fresh paint from their rooms.D.They are trying to create a comfortable temperature in their rooms.3.Why does the student mention her friend Bob?A.To emphasize that she is not the only student who is experiencing problemsB.To emphasize that the problem she is describing cannot be easily fixedC.To explain why she will not need the building manager's helpD.To explain how she learned there was a problem in her room4.What does the student imply when she talks about moving to an off-campus apartment?A.She will not be able to move for a few days.B.She cannot stay in the apartment indefinitely.C.She has not been happy with the security staff in her dormitory.D.She is not confident that the problems can be fixed in her dormitory room.5.What does the man imply when he says this:You sure it’s not just condensation?Student:I don’t think so.You can kind of see where it’s seeping out and the water looks sort of rusty.Manager:Rusty?Yeah,rusty isn’t good.A.He is not sure what is causing the problem.B.It is the student's fault that she has a problem.C.The student is probably right about the source of the problem.D.He does not understand the students description of her problem.答案D D B B C译文请听一段学生和建筑管理员之间的对话。

TPO65 阅读-2 Early Research on Air原文+译文+题目+答案+背景知识原文Early Research on Air①In the field of chemistry, the understanding of the word “air”has undergone radical change. Air for John Mayow, a seventeenth-century chemist, was essentially a receptacle for airborne particles, and through them manifested a variety of chemical properties. But although Mayow and a few other chemists did detect specific chemical properties in what we call gases (including our carbon dioxide), most chemists left them unaccounted for until the beginning of the eighteenth century. As chemists became aware that the atmosphere itself (and not just particles within it) had a role to play in combustion, respiration, and other reactions, they did not attribute this to the chemical properties of air but rather to substances that air could absorb and release according to circumstances. Thus, air provided a physical environment in which some reactions took place.②In the early 1700s, the air was widely seen as just such an environment, and “air”and “the air”were one and the same thing. Chemists were not in the habit of regarding airs or gases as having different chemical properties. There was simply air. One obvious reason for this was practical. Chemists could examine solids and liquids, exposing them to a variety of tests and seeing how they contributed to assorted reactions. Chemists had, however, no comparable way of examining air; and they came to view chemistry as the sum total of the reactions of solids and liquids, excluding gases. Chemists stressed chemical qualities over physical properties like weight and let physicists deal with air. Chemists generally did not examine air, and they did not try to weigh it. That does not mean that chemists did not weigh substances. They did a lot of weighing, and pharmacists and metallurgists did more. But weighing gases was outside their brief. In the Encyclopedia of Diderot and d'Alembert, published between 1751 and 1775, readers were told that “the incoercibility of gases will remove them from our researches for a long time to come.”③By the time of the Encyclopedia, however, this had begun to change. One of the first and key sources of change was the invention by the Reverend Stephen Hales of a new instrument, the pneumatic trough. This instrument is important for whatit made possible in the handling of air. The history of its invention and early use illustrates the difference there may be between the motives for inventing a device and the ways in which that device is used.④Hales was a botanist and chemist as well as a physiologist. He wrote a book in 1727 investigating mechanical subjects like the pressure of sap in plants. But Hales went further, addressing chemical as well as physiological questions. He urged chemists to consider air chemically. He described an instrument for washing the air produced in the course of a chemical reaction. He wanted to get rid of impurities in the air by letting it pass through water. Air passed from a reaction vessel through water in a trough (or tube) and then into a second vessel that was partly filled with water and that could capture air.⑤In devising this apparatus, Hales had coincidentally furnished an instrument for catching and holding air, which could then be subjected to various tests. Used in this way, the apparatus became known as the pneumatic trough. Half a century after its invention, it became a staple of the chemical laboratory. It also became one of the key instruments in the reform of chemistry that we know as the chemical revolution because it was essential to incorporating a whole new state of matter, the gaseous state, into chemistry, alongside the already studied solid and liquid states. Once that step had been taken, it was possible to speculate and then to demonstrate that the gaseous state, like the solid and liquid states, could contain a variety of chemical substances. This was an enormous step, and it did not happen overnight. Hales had shown that air could be contained, washed, and purified, and tested chemically as well as physically. This, however, did not lead him to think that there was more than one kind of air. Air for him remained air, not one of a number of airs. Other chemists would take that essential step.译文空气的早期研究①连续几代的北美人以不同的方式看待他们大陆的自然环境。

You’ll be surprised at how much the little things add up.You know,if you spend$2on a cup of coffee each morning,that's almost$200a semester.Student:So...if I could make my own coffee,that would be great,but I can't,since I live in the dormitory.Employee:True.But that's just an example.I also have this other sheet with suggestions.It's just a list of money saving ideas,like buy used books instead of new ones,and buy a bike since that's cheaper than taking the bus or owning a car.Student:I'd love to get a bike.Then I could even get a job in town.Employee:If you're thinking about a job,we do have postings for jobs as well. They're on the bulletin board outside my office.Student:Yeah,I saw it on my way in,it's empty.Employee:Yes,the positions get filled pretty quickly.But new one's open up too.I can't guarantee anything,but if something becomes available,that's where you're going to find out about it.Student:Well,if I got a job,I certainly have a little more spending money that would show my parents I'm managing on my own.Employee:But what's your course load this semester?If you have more than four courses,you might want to work on your budget and monitor your spending,rather than get a job for now.Student:I have four courses,but one is biology,and there's a3-hour lab each week.

Lyotard,meant narrative as in a way of understanding the world.Female Student:Um.I uh.Male Professor:How can I explain this uh,grand narrative...It's...It's like an idea that that helps people make sense of history.Like when you picture the early middle ages in Europe,but what do you think?Female Student:Okay,like,um,there weren't a lot of cultural achievements then, lots of wars,but not a lot of important art or books or anything,like it was the Dark Ages.Male Professor:All right that that's a simple explanation of a time in history,right? Something that tends to be accepted or understood by most people.That makes it a grand narrative.Here's a more recent one.Scientific progress.Female Student:Ah,ha.Male Professor:People look at important inventions throughout history,light bulbs, cars,computers.And we generally believe that there's an underlying universal truth, that modern technology makes the world better.It's been the belief for so long that people accept it as being true.We don't even think of it much.We just accept that modern technology has that effect.Female Student:Well.it does make our lives better.Male Professor:All right.This is where Lyotard comes in.He believed we have to be careful about accepting ideas like that.He said these beliefs really oversimplify things and that we should think more critically.Are there times when technology would not be considered progressive where it doesn't bring improvement?Female Student:Oh.I don't know,uh,pollution,but I…Male Professor:No,no,that's good.It would be hard to say pollution was a form of improving the world.Female Student:But isn't pollution just a side effect of...?Oh!So it kind of goes against the grand narrative about technology.It complicates things.Male Professor:Yeah.And that's a basic idea behind post-modernism,that we should be skeptical of grand narratives,because there's a good chance they are not completely true.Female Student:You mean?Male Professor:Well，not to say there's no truth in grand narratives.Of course.It's just that nothing is as simple and straightforward as it seems.We should look critically at the things we assume.Female Student:Okay.I....I think I get it.Thanks.题目1.What are the speakers mainly discussing?A.A paper the woman is writing about a philosopherB.A disagreement between two philosophers about a termC.The interpretation of a term used in a philosopher’s workD.The professor’s opinion about a philosopher2.Why does the professor ask the woman about the early Middle Ages?A.To elicit an example of a grand narrativeB.To make a point about changes in technologyC.To encourage her to compare two grand narrativesD.To present an example that contradicts Lyotard’s idea3.What points does the professor make about scientific progress?[Click on2 answers.]A.Historically,people have believed that it improves the world.B.According to Lyotard,it has caused more harm than good.C.It is part of a grand narrative that has changed over time.D.According to Lyotard,its benefits should be questioned.4.Why does the woman mention pollution?A.To demonstrate the problem with Lyotard’s claimB.To ask how important it is in Lyotard’s argumentC.To illustrate the negative effects of technologyD.To introduce another grand narrative5.What does the professor mean when he says this:We don't even think of it much.We just accept that modern technology has that effect.Female Student:Well.it does make our lives better.Male Professor:All right.This is where Lyotard comes in.A.He is going to change the topic of the conversation.B.He is going to challenge the woman’s belief.C.He wants to clarify the time period in question.D.He wants to correct a statement he made earlier.答案C A AD C B译文1.听一个学生和哲学教授之间的对话。

托福听力tpo65全套对话讲座原文+题目+答案+译文Section 1Conversation1原文Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the housing office. Employee: Hi. Here for your room key?Student: Actually, no, I got a bill in the mail today.Employee: Yeah, don’t worry about it. Some students got a second copy of their housing bills. You can just ignore it if you’ve already paid.Student: Yeah, no, actually it’s my phone bill. I just got it and it looks like there were all these calls made during the summer break, and I wasn’t even here. I turned in my room key at the end of last term.Employee: Right, but do you remember making arrangements to have your phone service turned off before you left?Student: Was I supposed to do that?Employee: Yeah, you were.Student: I didn’t know that.Employee: Yeah, it’s in the contract.Student: What contract?Employee: Okay, you had service with the phone company, right?Student: Sure.Employee: And you got a copy of the contract when you signed out.Student: Yeah, I guess so.Employee: Well, okay then, it’s buried in the details of the contract in fine print. And I’ve got to admit that I might not have noticed it myself but I’ve dealt with two or three other cases like this. And it does state that it’s your responsibility to cancel the service.Student: Really?Employee: I’m afraid so. You might not have seen it, but it’s in there.Student: But I thought that the housing office automatically shuts the service off when the university closes for the summer break.Employee: I’m afraid not. Classes may end for you, but the university doesn’t close down. We have a whole summer program of short courses, so it’s likely that someone who was enrolled in the summer program was assigned to your old room and when they might plug the phone in...Student: The service was already there. Oh, wow! I really made a stupid mistake. Employee: Oh, well, don’t be too hard on yourself. There is a chance we could do something. What was your old room number?Student: Baker Hall, Room 622.Employee: Okay. It looks like someone did stay there over the break. What I can do is contact them and ask them to give us a call, then we’ll explain what happened and we’ll give them your contact information.Student: Okay, but what if you don’t get a reply.Employee: Well, I hope that doesn’t happen, because if it does, then you are on your own. Again, what it comes down to is this，you signed a contract with the phone company, and there is really not much we can do to help you at this point.题目1.Why does the student go to the housing office?A.

给您拿房间钥匙？3.学生: 事实上，没有，我今天收到了一张账单。
4.雇员: 好的，别担心。
一些学生得到了他们住房法案的第二份副本。
如果你已经付了钱，你可以忽略它。
5.学生: 不，其实是我的电话账单。
我刚收到，看起来这些电话都是暑假打的，而我根本不在这里。
上学期末我归还了房间钥匙。
6.雇员: 好的，但是你还记得在你离开前把电话服务关掉了吗？7.学生: 我应该这么做吗？8.雇员: 是的，你需要。
9.学生: 我不知道。
