I was wondering if you could fill me in on Monday’s class? I had to go the dentist for emergency and I missed Prof. Smith’s le cture. What was it on（演讲是关于什么方面的）?It was pretty interesting. She talked about volcanoes, active volcanoes, under the-uh-West Antarctic ice sheet（冰盾）.There are active volcanoes under the ice?Apparently（显然地）so. She said they help protect the ice sheet and prevent melting.Flooding will be pretty bad if that ice melted, not only there, but all over theworld.You lost me there. Volcanoes are hot. How can something hot prevent ice from melting.Wait a minute, let me check my notes. Yeah, here it is. Volcanic heat melts just enough ice to create a slippery surface on the bottom of the glacier（冰川）. This water allows ice to follow out into the ocean. So the solid interior ice is protected from the ocean’s warm.Does that make sense（有意义）?Sort of.（有点）You mean that because the ice is flowing out to the ocean, the warmer ocean water can’t flow in.Exactly. And the ice that melts is constantly（不断地，经常地）being replaced by snow. Prof. Smith said that if the ice sheet ever broke up（断裂）and melted, the sea level would go up seven meters. Then we would have those floods（洪水）.Is that really possible? Or is it one of those exaggerations（夸张）you hear all the time.As far as（就…，到什么程度）I can understand, it is possible, because of global warming. I mean if the ocean got a lot warmer that interior ice would be very likely to melt.Thanks for telling me about the lecture. Sounds like I’ve missed a pretty important class.31. Why did the man ask the woman about the lecture?(A) His lecture notes weren’t very good.(B) He didn’t understand the lecture.(C) He couldn’t atte nd the lecture.(D) His research was on the same topic as the lecture.32. What was the topic of the professor’s lecture?(A) Survival strategies for extreme Antarctic cold.(B) Why inactive volcanoes become active.(C) The principal causes of global warming.(D) The effects of volcanoes on the Antarctic ice sheet.33. What information confused（使…困惑，混淆）the man?(A) That a snow cover can cause ice to melt.(B) How heat can prevent ice from melting.(C) How water flows into the ocean.(D) Why volcanoes have a slippery surface.34. According to the woman, what protects the interior ice from the warmth of the ocean?(A) Melting ice.(B) Snowfall(C) Glaciers which serve as barriers.(D) Variations in temperature in Antarctica.Questions 35-38 Listen to a radio interview about cycling.（骑自行车运动）And now here is ou r guest Jane Thomas to tell us about Montreal’s famous yearly island bicycle tour which is coming up in June. Good morning, Jane. What’s the bike tour all about?Well, Peter, it’s an event that’s opened to anybody who’d like to ride a bicycle through the streets of Montreal. The tour covers a standard distance of 65 kilometers. But the route’s quite different every year. So even people who’ve already done it might enjoy doing it again.How long does it take to go the whole distance?It varies. Cyclists are free to go as fast or as slow and do as much or as little of the course as they like.Well, what’s the typical pace（节奏）for a participant（参与者）?Between 12 and 30 kilometers per hour. Some cyclists stop along the way and don’t cross the finish line until early evening. But the whole point is that there is no rush（冲刺）.It’s not a race.I understand last year’s tour had 45,000 cyclists and it was the largest mass （群众）cycling event in the world. How many do you expect this year?The same as last year. And since we regularly（经常地）have so many participants, can I take this opportunity to remind our listeners to sign up early? We filled up（填补）quickly last year and we had to refused lots of applications（申请）.Before we close, any other tips for all prospective（可能的，预期的）cyclists? Yes, take water with you. It is available at the relay（n接力）station. But it helps to have an additional supply. And pack（n 背包v 背）a good lunch with plenty of fruit for energy. Candy and chocolate don’t do the trick（诀窍）.35. What is the main subject of the conversation?(A) How to increase one’s speed in a bicycle race.(B) Major Canadian bicycle races.(C) The contribution of cycling to health.(D) An annual cycling event.36. According to the woman, what is different every year?(A) The length of the course.(B) The route the cyclists take.(C) The number of participants.(D) The month in which the tour is held.37. What does the woman imply about the participants?(A) They are not competing with each other.(B) They have to pay a high fee.(C) They tend to be beginning cyclists.(D) Most of them fail to finish the route.38. What does the woman mention is provided at the relay station?(A) Chocolates.(B) Water(C) First aid.(D) Bicycle repair services.Part CQuestions 39-42 Listen to talk given by a history professor.I’m sure almost everyone of you looked at your watch or at a clock beforeyou came to class today. Watches and clocks seem as much part of our life as breathing or eating. Any yet, do you know that watches and clocks were scarce（稀有的，罕见的）in the United States until the late 1850s. In the late 1700s people didn’t know the exact time unless they were near a clock. Those delightful（讨人喜欢的）clocks in the squares（广场）of European towns were built for the public.After all, most citizens simply couldn’t afford a personal timepiece（时钟）. Well, until the 1800s, in Europe and the United States, the main purpose of a watch, which by the way was off and on a gold chain（金链子）, was to show others how wealthy（富有的）you were. The word “wrist watch”didn’t even enter the English language until nearly 1900. By then, the rapid pace of industrialization in the United States meant that measuring time had become essential.（必需的，必不可少的）How could the factory worker get to work on time, unless he or she knew exactly what time it was. Since efficiency was now measured by how fast the job was done, everyone was interested in time. And since industrialization made possible the manufacture of large quantities of goods, watches became fairly（adv 相当）inexpensive. Furthermore（而且，此外）, electric lights kept factories going around the clock. Being “on time” had entered the language and life of every citizen.39. What does the professor mainly discuss?(A) Reasons for increased productivity.(B) How wristwatches are manufactured.(C) The industrialization of the United States.(D) The development of individual timepieces.40. What was true of watches before the 1850s?(A) They were common in the United States, but not in Europe.(B) Only a few people had them.(C) People considered them essential.(D) They were not very accurate.41. According to the speaker, why did some people wear watches in the1800s?(A) They were a sign of wealth.(B) It was important to be on time.(C) It was fashionable to wear them.(D) They were inexpensive.42. What effect did industrialization have on watch making?(A) Watches were of higher quality than ever before.(B) More clocks were manufactured than watches.(C) The availability of watches increased.(D) Watches became less important because factories had clocks.Questions 43-46 Listen to a guide in an aquarium.This room is devoted to（专心于，专注于）electric fish. The eel （鳗鱼）in the tank behind me can produce a strong jolt（颠簸，震动）of electricity to stun （使震惊）its prey（n被掠食者，受害者）. But most of the fish in here produce only weak electrical impulses（脉冲）that are useful for navigating, locating food and even for communicating.The knife fish is a good example. This fish navigates using tiny receptors（接收器）in the skin that are sensitive（敏感的）to electrical impulses. The knife fish produces an electrical signal and the receptors in its skin let it know when the signal is distorted（变形）by（通过）a tree root or other obstacle, so it can go around（绕过走）it.Fish also use the ability to produce and detective（探知，发现）electrical impulses to communicate.They can tell each other what species they belong to, how big they are and whether they are male or female. We had a tank here that’s specially equipped（配备）to convert the inaudible（听不见的）signals that fish produce into sounds you can hear when you put on（带上）these headphones. I urge（敦促，劝）you all to listen in when I’m done speaking. Now have a look at the electric rays（电子射线）. Rays are specially interesting to medical researchers because of the organs they use toproduce electricity. These organs contain a chemical that carries signals from one nerve ending（神经末梢）to the next, not only in rays but also in people. By studying these organs, scientists hope to learn more about diseases that interrupt（中断）the transmission of impulses from one nerve to another.43. What is the talk main about?(A) The difficulty of breeding electric fish.(B) The medical importance of electric fish.(C) How certain fish use electricity.(D) How fish navigate.44. What does the knife fish use electricity for?(A) To destroy tree roots.(B) To digest its food.(C) To protect its territory.(D) To find its way.45. Why does the speaker suggest putting on headphones?(A) To hear a translation of her talk.(B) To hear signals produced by electric fish.(C) To hear sounds used to train electric fish.(D) To hear a tape about electric fish.46. According to the speaker, what medical benefits might result from studying electrical rays?(A) Improved understanding of diseases of the nervous system.(B) Improved understanding of a type of malnutrition.(C) Improved understanding of some types of bone disease.(D) improved understanding of disease of the internal organs.Questions 47-50 Listen to a lecture given in a dance history class.So why did what is now called “modern dance” begin in the United States? To begin to answer this question I’ll need to back track a little bit and talk about classical ballet.By the late 1800s, ballet had lost a lot of its popularity（流行，名望）. Most of the ballet dancers who performed in the United States were brought overfrom Europe. They performed using the rigid（死板的）techniques that had been passed down through the centuries. Audiences and dancers in the United States were eager（渴望的）for their own contemporary（同时代的）dance form. And so around 1900, dancers created one. So how was this modern dance so different from classical ballet?Almost notably（显著地）,it wasn’t carefully choreographed（精心编舞）. Instead（相反）, the dance depended on the improvisation （即席创作）and free personal expression of the dancers. Music and scenery（舞台布景）were of little importance to the modern dance. And lightness（照明度）of movement wasn’t important either. In fact, modern dancers make no attempt at all to conceal （掩盖）the effort involved in the dance step.But even if improvisation appealed to（对…有吸引力）audiences, many dance critics（评论家，批评家）were lest enthusiastic（极热情的）about the performances. They questioned（怀疑）the artistic integrity of dancers who were not professionally trained and the artistic value of works that had no formal structure. Loi Fore, after performing fire dance, was described as doing little more than turning round and round（越来越圆）like an eggbeater （打蛋器，直升机）. Yet the free personal expression of the pioneer dancers is the basis of the controlled freedom of modern dance today.47. What does the speaker mainly discuss?(A) The origins and characteristics of modern dance.(B) The influence of modern dance on ballet.(C) Pioneer modern dancers.(D) The training of modern dance choreographers.48. Why were ballet performances unpopular in the United Stated in the early 1900s?(A) They were created in Europe.(B) They were conventional.(C) The theaters were crowded.(D) The tickets were overpriced.49. What is the distinguishing feature of modern dance performances?(A) Lightness of movement.(B) Elaborate scenery.(C) Free expression.(D) Rigid choreography.50. Why were early modern dancers criticized（批评）by dance critics?(A) They performed mainly in Europe.(B) They imitated the techniques of ballet.(C) They performed to classical music.(D) They weren’t formally trained.。

I really like your luggageIt looks nice but it hasn't held up well.What does the woman think about her luggage?Part CQ36-39( talk, nutrition)Last week I told you about how the body uses vitamin C and foods that contain vitamin C, such as citrus fruit & tomatoes. Now I want to discuss Vitamin D which is important to human nutrition because it helps the body to absorb Calcium. Calcium as you know is essential for maintaining heatyl bones & teeth. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to serious bone diseases. So in the United States it is added to milk, a staple food in most people's diet. Vitamin D is sometimes called the sunshine vitamin. That' s because the body requires sunlight in order to make use of it. Here's how it works: when ultraviolet rays from the sun strike the vitamin D in our SKIN, the sunlight converts vitamin D to its active form & a substance called calciferol is produced. Calciferol is what carries the calcium to our bones. If our bodies are not exposed to ultraviolet rays from the sun we cannot convert vitamin D to it's active form, and thus cannot make use of any of the calcium that we have consumed in our food . Eventually we would suffer FROM A calciumdeficiency and have weak bones. Luckily it takes only 10 to 20 minutes of exposure to sunlight a day to ensure sufficient vitamin D production. Except in extremely atmospheric conditions like very heavy smog or a sunless climate, most people are able to get enough exposure to the sun. Doctors recommend that people who don't drink very much milk take vitamin supplements and that everyone spend at least 10 minutes in the sun everyday.36. Why is vitamin D important?37. In the United States, what is the main source of vitamin D for most people?38. What is necessary to convert vitamin D to it's active form?39. According to the speaker, what might happen to the people who stay in doors all the time?Q40 - 43 Conversation between two friendsHey! You got a new television.Yeah!

I mean, if you enjoy it, why not? What happened to your old TV, anyhow?It just stopped working last Friday. It was pretty old & didn't work well, I thought you can afford it, why not get a new one?It must've been expensive?Well, not as much as you might think. I got it on sale for 50% offReally? Where?At the stereo city on Route 20. You know at first I just wanted to replace what I had. A TV of about the same size & quality. But the salesman was pushing these because of the 50% off. Yeah. But 50% off what?2,400 dollars.You spent $ 1,200 on a TV?It's got a lot of special features. Look at this remote control.I'm sure. But that's still a lot of money for a television. I didn't think you watch TV that much. Well, I don't. Do you think I ought to return it? If I do it within a week of purchase, I can get my money back.Honestly, yes. And you know what, and I think you ought to read up on TV’s first and choose the make & model you want before you go to the store. That way you will get what you want.I think you are right.40. What is the main topic of the conversation?41. What does the woman suggest the man do?42. What will the man probably do as a result of the conversation?43. What is the man's attitude toward the television?Q44 - 47 Talk (astronomy discovery)As you begin your study of the heavens, you may feel that the odds of your making any impact on the field of astronomy are impossibly low. But in fact important breakthroughs can come from student work. You may have heard in the media that the examples of one of the most illusive objects in the cosmos the brown dwarf were found by a 27 - year - old student Clare Briadger. Scientists all over the world had been searching for more than 50 years and yet the discovery wasmade by someone still in graduate school. When Ms. Briadger presented a paper at the meeting of the American Astronomical Society, her talk was for me the highlight of the meeting. There was considerable agreement that what she had found was indeed the illusive Brown Dwarf. For those of you who don' t yet know, Brown Dwarfs are these gaseous bodies that are too large to be planets, but not massive enough to ignite into full - blown stars. While others spent their time studying what shows up big and bright in the heavens, Ms. Briadger searched for the small and faint. She spent about 2 years at a computer scanning and classifying pin- points of light within clusters of stars. She sometimes worked 100 hours in a single week. Then finally she was able to isolate a number of points that seemed to be actual Brown Dwarfs.

You should take a look at this article about Canadian scorpionI didn't know there were scorpions in Canada. I thought they only lived in deserts.Well, the deadly Kind do. Like in Arizona and New Mexico.I thought all scorpion were dangerous.No, only about 25 kinds are lethal to humans, Actually there are over 1,500 different species. But only one lives in Canada.Where in Canada? Not around here?Well, mostly Sakatchewan and Alberta. But yeah, right here in British Columbia too.Is the Canadian kind poisonous?Not for humans. Supposedly their sting is no worse than a bee's. Anyway scorpions are all over the place. They can live in just about any climate. In fact the only continent where they don't live is Antarctica.Why? Is it too cold there?There must be other reasons. Because according to this article scorpions can withstand conditions that'd probably kill most other animals. Scientists did all these Experiments, like the scorpion was frozen in a block of ice for 3 weeks and when they melted the ice, it just walked away.It was still alive?Yeah. But what's most amazing is that they also survived the radiation levels 200 times what would kill a human. No wonder they’ve outlived the dinosaurs.Listen. I've gotta run. But I really like a copy of that article.No problem. I'll make one for you.48. How did the woman learn about the scorpions?49. Where do the two students probably live?50. What did the scientists experiments show about the scorpion?。
