Oh so where ru going this summer?Well, this summer it's finally goinf to be Gettyburg.Fianlly? U mean they never took u yet?

If I don't do sth soon, I won't be able to move in there.Do u usually order from a catalog?Sometimes.Why?OH, it's just in the history class today we were talking about how the catalog sales business first got started in the US. A Chicago retailer, Montgomery Ward started it in the late 1800s. It was really popullar among farmers. it was difficult for them to make it to the big city stores so they ordered from catalogs.Was Ward the only one in the business?At first, but another person named richard Sears started his own catalog after he heard how much mmoney Ward was making.What made them so popular?Farmers trusted Ward and Sears for one thing. They delivered the products the farmers paid for and even refunded the price of things the farmers weren't satisfied with. The catalog became so popular some countries school teachers even used them as textbooks.Textbooks?Yeah, Students practice spelling the names and adding up the prices of things in the catalogs. Was everybody that thrilled about it?That's doubtful. Say they drove some small store owners out of business. Sears and Ward sold stuff in such large quantities. They were able to undercut the prices at some small family owned stores.35.What is the conversation mainly about?36. Why was the woman reading a catalog?37.Who were the main customers of Sears and Ward's business?38. What unusual way were the catalog used?39. What was one of the negative effects of the catalog business?Part CQ40-42The birds u see here in this slide are peregrine falcons. These birds represent a success storyamong animals on the endanged species list.. In the 1970s, the peregrine falcons almost disappeared as a result of the contamination of the food chain by the DDT in pesticide. The presence of the poison in their systems resulted in eggs too weak to support the incubating chicks. Their remarkable recovery is a result of the ban of DDT as a pesticide, aggressive captive feeding programs and their own resiliency. the peregrine falcon is one of the fastest birds alive. They've been clocked at 140 to 200 miles per hour in successful pursuit of pray. In addition to speed, these birds fly directly into head winds and they are capable of flying more than 600 miles per day with favorable tail winds. today with the sophistication of telemetty, the speeds of these birds can be tracked by orbiting satellites, by means of transmitters attached to the bird. For example , peregrine falcons stage in warmer climate, in other words,they spend time in the southern US over changes preparing them to breed in the Arctic. Then they migrate north to the much colder Arctic regions. Birds have been tracked from Texas in late April to their nesting ground in Alaska, Canada and Greenland. Now let's move on to another species of birds, the bald eagles.40 What is the talk mainly about?41.According to the passage, what makes the peregrine falcon a good hunter?42. How did biologists track peregrine falcons over long distances?Q43-46Ok, so in our last class we were discussing big bands swing music.,u remember this was a kind of dance music with a steady rhythm. But today we deal with music played by smaller jazz bands. It's called bebop may use all sorts of new types of rhythms, some of them very irregular. We'll talk more about that later. But first I want to tald about some of the social elements that i believe contributed to the development of bebop music. To do this, we have to look at when bebop arose and started becoming so popular,which was from the late 1930s through the 1940s, from the time of the environment for bebop music was the decline of the US economy. During the great depression. the economy suffered tremendously. And fewer people had money to spend on entertainment. Then during the 2nd World War the government imposed a new tax on public entertainment, what u might call performance tax. The government collected money on performances that included any types of acting,dancing or singing, but not instrumental music. So to avoid this new tax, some jazz bands stop using singer altogether. They started relying on the creativity of the instrumentalist to attract audiences. This was what bebop bands did. Now remember a lot of bands have singers. So the instrumentalistssimply played in the background and had occasional solos while the singer sang the melody to the songs,but not bebop bands. So the instrumentalists had much more frredom to be creative. So they experimented, playing the music faster and using new irregular sorts of rhythms.43.What is the talk mainly about?44. How didi the bebop bands avoid the performance tax?45 Why does the professor mention the decline of the US economy during the great depression?46. What dose the professor describe as a significant characteristic of bebop music?Q47-50UR professor has asked me to talk to u today about the topic that should be of real concern tocivil engineers: the erosion of the US beaches. Let me start with some statistics. Did uknow that 90% of the coast in this country is eroding, on the gulf of Mexico for instance, erosion averages 4 to 5 feet per year. Over the past 20 years, there has been an increase in building along the coast, even though geologists and environmentalists have been warning communities about problems like erosion. Someway communities have tried to protect their building and roads and to build seawalls. However geologists have fould that such stabilizing structure actually speed up the destruction of the beaches. These beaches with seawalls, called stabilized beaches, are much narrower than beaches without them. U may wonder how seawalls speed up beach loss. The explanations is simple.If the flow of the beaches is gentle, the water energy is lessened as it washes up along the shore. It is reduced even more that returns to the sea so it doesn't carry back much sand. ON the other hand, when the water hit the nearly vertical face of the seawall. it goes straight back to the sea with the full force of its energy and it carries back a great deal of sand. Because of the real risk of losing beaches, many geologists support a ban on all types of stabilizing construction on shore lines.47. What is the speaker mainly discussing?48. Why do communities build seawalls?49. How does a gently sloping beach help prevent erosion?50. What would the speaker probably advise engineers to do?。

One day he received an invitation to dinner at the ruler’s palace. Very pleased, he went to tell his colleagues. They laughed and told him the meaning of the invitation. They had all been invited and each person who was invited has to bring with him a certain number of silver and gold coins. The number of coins varied according to theperson’s position in the service of the government.My friend’s income was not high, so he did not have much to pay. Each person bound before the ruler, his gold went onto one hip, his silver went onto another hip, and in this way he paid his income tax for the year. This was a simple way of collecting income tax.The tax on property was also collected simply: The ruler gave a man the power to collect a tax from each owner of land or property in a certain area if this man promised to pay the ruler a certain amount of money. Of course the tax collector managed to collect more money than he paid to the ruler. The difference between the sum of money he collected and the sum of money he gave to the ruler was his profit.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What do we know about the speaker’s friend?12. What was the real purpose of the ruler’s invitation?13. What does the passage say about the tax collectors?Passage TwoAround the year 1000A. D. , some people from Northwest India began to travel westwards. Nobody knows why. After leaving their homes, they did not settle down again but spent their lives moving from one place to another. Their later generations are called the Romany people or Gypsies. There are Gypsies all over the world. And many of them are still traveling with no fixed homes. There are about 8 million of them, including 3 million in Eastern Europe. Gypsies sometimes have a hard time in the countries where they travel, because they are different. People may be afraid of them, look down on them or think that they are criminals. The Nazis treated the Gypsies cruelly, like the Jews. And nobody knows how many of them died in Hitler’s death camps.Gypsies have their own language, Romany. They like music and dancing, and they often work in fairs and traveling shows.Traveling is very important to them and many Gypsies are unhappy if they have to stay in one place. Because of this, it is difficult for Gypsies children to go to school. And Gypsies are often unable to read and write. In some places, the education authorities try to arrange special traveling schools for Gypsy children so that they can get the same education as other children. Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14. Why did the ancestors of Gypsies leave their home?15. What is the attitude of some people towards Gypsies?16. What measure has been taken to help Gypsy children?Passage ThreeAs the car industry develops, traffic accidents have become as familiar as the common cold. Yet their cause and control remain a serious problem that is difficult to solve.Experts have long recognized that this discouraging problem has multiple causes. At the very least it is a problem that involves three factors: the driver, the vehicle and the roadway. If all drivers exercised good judgement at all time, there would be few accidents. But this is rather like saying that if all people were honest, there would be no crime. Improved design has helped to make highways much safer. But the title of accidents continues to rise because to human failure and an enormous increase in the number of automobiles on the road. Attention is now turning increasingly to the third factor of the accident are the car itself. Since people assume that the accidents are bound to occur, they want to know how cars can be built betterto protect the drivers.Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. What does the speaker think are the causes of automobile accidents?18. What measure has been taken to reduce car accidents?19. What remains an important factor for the rising number of road accidents?20. What’s the focus of people’s attention today according to the passage?。

W: sure. i hope you're feeling better soon.M: thanks. me too. bye!W: bye!35 what is the converstation mainly about?36 why is the woman giving the man the information?37 what effect will the increased use of DME instead of diesel fuel probably have?38 according to the conversation, why won't DME be on the market soon?39 why does the woman suggest the man look at her notes?Questions 40 through 43:Okay. Uh...you remember that ive mention that it's important to read the assigned poems aloud,so you can develop and appreciation of the sounds of the poetry: the rhymes, the rhythm, the repetition of words or sounds, and to get a sense of the interplay between the sounds of the words and their meaning. this is really critical as we move into modern poetry, especially by writers who place so much importance on sounds that the meaning becomes all letter relevant. like this line by GertrudeStein that I'd like to quote. listen, listen as i say the words. "rose is a rose is a rose is a rose." taken literally this would seems to be an empty statement, one which gives us no information. but the purpose of a poem need not be to inform the reader of anything, but rather to evoke feelings. to create a sensual as well as phonically pleasing experience. now Gertrude Stein was better known for her prose than for her poems. but i'd like to like to quote this line because of its musicality, and because i think it helps open up our awareness to the unconventionally ricism of contemporary poets. you'll see this in your homework tongiht as you read the poetry of John Ashbery, especially if you read it out loud, which i recommend you do. poets like ashbery don't rely so much on any formal rhyme scheme or meter as on the musical quality of the individual words themselves. as i said,Stein was better known for her non-poetical work. and now i'd like to touch briefly on her essay entitled "Converstaion and Explanation". this work deals with her theory of writing and will help to explain some of the things we've talking about.40 what does the professor mainly discuss?41 what does the professor say about Gertrude Stein as a writer?42 why does the professor recommend the students do as part of their homework?43 what does the professor recommend the students do as part of their homework?Questions 44 through 46Listen to a talk in a class about United States history.last week, you recall, we discussed the early development of railroads in the United States. today i want to mention an even earlier form of transportation , one that brought the first European settlers to America. and that's the wooden sailing ship. from colonial times sailing ships were vital to the economy. many coastal towns depended on fishing or whaling for employment and income. this was especially true in the northeastern states. and there the wood from nearby forests and the skills of local designers and workers also formed the basis of an important shipbuilding industry. but the big profits were to be made on trade with far away places. and since sea captains often became part owners of their ships, they had a strong interest in the commercial success of their voyages. so these Yankees, that's what US sailor and officers came to be called, they carried on a very profitable trade with other parts of the world. the high point of this trade came in the mid-19th century with the introduction of the clipper ship, the enormous Yankee clippers with huge sails reaching nearly two hundred feet into sky. he'd carry passengers and cargo from New York around South America to San Francisco in less than three months and clear to China in just half a year. at that time this seemed unbelievable fast and efficient. but in the 1860s, more reliable steam-poweredship began to take over. and soon the important role of sailing ships in the US economy would come to an end.44 what aspect of United States history does the professor mainly discuss?45 According to the professor, what may be one reason for the success of the merchant ships of the United States?46 what does the professor say about clipper ships?Questions 47 through 50:Listen to part of a talk in a class on early childhood education. The professor is discussing penmanship: the quality of one's handwriting. as you prepare to become elementary school teachers, you'll be hearing a lot of disscussion about the relevance of teaching permanship. now years ago when i was studying education in college, reading writing and arithmetic were the basics of elementary school education. it went without saying that writing meant first and foremost penmanship. that is, the neatness of a child's handwriting. back then, penmanship was often taught as a separate subject from the fist grade right up through the sixth grade long after the children had moved from writing in block capital letters to cursive script. it was considered so important that sometimes prizes were even awarded for the best handwriting. but when we move ahead a few decades into the 1980s,we see teachers and administrators and even parents telling us that teaching penmanship is waste of time. with computers, they said, children can successfully manipulate the keyboard or mouse of their home computers before they can even hold a pencil. this change in attitude had an impact on the classroom. in your homework for this week you'll be looking at what statewide curriculum standards in the US say about penmanship. you'll see that in many states penmanship has been de-emphasized in a required curriculum, especially in the later years of elementary school. In california, for example, the curriculum calls for fourth-grade students to...and i quote, "write fluently and legibly in cursive or grades. but after this, the curriculum makes no further mention of penmanship in grade five, six or beyond, Any higher level of quality or neatness is simply not among the curricular objectives. your assignment is to look at what the curricular standards say for all fifty states say about penmanship.47 what is the professor's main point about penmanship in early childhood education?48 why does the professor mention prizes?49 what will the students read about for homework?50 what does the professor quote from California's curriculum requirements?。

As the industry developed so did the horse ridding contests that we called rodeos. Rodeos weren’t always the big entertainment shows that we see nowadays. The first ones were small contests started as an informal competition among people historically referred to the cowboys. Although they didn’t include both men and women. One duty of the cowboys was to guide the cattle from grass rangers into town along the railroad lines where the cows were loaded on to trains. The cowboys would gather near these cattle towns to compete for the unofficial title “best horse rider”. They were demonstrated the riding skills that they had learned as a matter of survival. And the audience was composed mainly of other cowboys who watch the competitor critically since they knew what the events were all about. Rodeos contest took a different turn in the 1890’s, when organizers began to hold cowboys sports during yearly agriculture affairs. What was different with the audience? It consist mostly people who were unfamiliar with the life on the range. They were amazed by the skills of riders and intelligence of horses. The rodeos at agricultural affairs became so popular that ranchers and business people began to organize rodeos as independent events separate from fairs. The organizers built large arenas(竞技场)， and earn money by requiring spectators to pay for admission. More and more notable rodeos held annually in Wyoming. It’s c alled frontier days. While “frontier days” is not the first independent rodeo, it is the oldest annual show taking place each year since 1897.40. What is the topic mainly about?41. What can be inferred about the early radio?42. What is the significant about the frontier days.45-46We’ve been looking at fear from biological perspective. And someone asked whether the tendency to be fearful is genetic. While some study done with mice indicate that mammals do inherit fearfulness to some degree. In one study for instance, a group of mice were placed in the bright lit open boxes with no hiding places. Some of the mice wondered around the box and didn’t appear to be bothered about being so exposed. But other mice didn’t move. They stayed up against one wall, wh ich indicate that they were afraid. Well, when fearful mice or you might say anxious mice like ones who stayed in one place. When mice like this were bred with one another repeatedly, after about 12 or so generations, then all of the offspring show similar signs of fearfulness. And even when the new born mouse from this generation was raised by a mother and with other mice who were not fearful, that mice still tend to be fearful as the result. Now, why is this? Well, it’s thought that the specific gene in a nimal body haveinfluenced on the anxious behavior. These genes that are associated with particular nerve cell receptors in brain. And the degree of overall fearfulness in the mammal seem to depend in the large part on the presence or absence of these nerve cell receptors. And this appears to apply to humans as well by the way. But while the tendency towards anxiety and fear may well be an inherited trait, but the specific form that the fear takes has more to do individual environment. So a particular fear like the fear of snakes or the fear of spider, say, is not genetic. But the overall tendency to have fearful responses is.43. What is the talk mainly about?44. How did some of the mice in the study demonstrated that they were afraid?45. According to the professor, what contribute to a mammal tendency to befearful?46. Why does the prof. mentions snakes and spiders?47-50One type of natural spring geographer is interested in is artesian spring. Hikingthrough the woods some of you are surprised to see water flowing from the opening in the ground. That will no more ever. That may be artesian spring. To help you understand why water might flow like this from underground, I’d like to explain two basicconditions that necessary for their formation. The first condition is that water mustbe contained in an aquifer(含水土层). An aquifer is an underground layer of rock sediment that has pores or holes in it. And this pores rock allows water to flow through it freely. The aquifer must be inclined so that the over the surface of the ground. Rain water enter this through exposed and traveled downward to the lower portion of the aquifer. The second condition is that above and below the aquifer there must be layer of pores or clay. Either called aquicludes(含水土层), and they block or hinder the flow of water. Aquicludes prevent water from drilling out of aquifers. So, let us go back to our artesian spring. There usually located above the ground near the lower and wind …… aquifer. A artesian spring are those places some hole crack stand from the ground surface, down through the Aquicludes and into the aquifer. Now the rain water that had drilled into the aquifer makes expose up end created pressure at the low end, so if there is crack in the rock, a crack that run from the aquifer to the surface, then the pressure pushes the water up through it. and water trickling out of the artesian spring.47. What is the topic mainly about?48. Why are the aquicludes important to the development of the artesianspring?49. According to the prof., how does water in the aquifer reach the ground surface?50. What does the prof. Say about the pressure?。

As the industry developed so did the horse ridding contests that we called rodeos. Rodeos weren't always the big entertainment shows that we see nowadays. The first ones were small contests started as an informal competition among people historically referred to the cowboys. Although they didn't include both men and women. One duty of the cowboys was to guide the cattle from grass rangers into town along the railroad lines where the cows were loaded on to trains. The cowboys would gather near these cattle towns to compete for the unofficial title "best horse rider". They were demonstrated the riding skills that they had learned as a matter of survival. And the audience was composed mainly of other cowboys who watch the competitor critically since they knew what the events were all about. Rodeos contest took a different turn in the 1890's, when organizers began to hold cowboys sports during yearly agriculture affairs. What was different with the audience? It consist mostly people who were unfamiliar with the life on the range. They were amazed by the skills of riders and intelligence of horses. The rodeos at agricultural affairs became so popular that ranchers and business people began to organize rodeos as independent events separate from fairs. The organizers built large arenas(竞技场, and earn money by requiring spectators to pay for admission. More and more notable rodeos held annually in Wyoming. It's called frontier days. While "frontier days" is not the first independent rodeo, it is the oldest annual show taking place each year since 1897. 40. What is the topic mainly about? 41. What can be inferred about the early radio? 42. What is the significant about the frontier days. 45-46 We've been looking at fear from biological perspective. And someone asked whether the tendency to be fearful is genetic. While some study done with mice indicate that mammals do inherit fearfulness to some degree. In one study for instance, a group of mice were placed in the bright lit open boxes with no hiding places. Some of the micewondered around the box and didn't appear to be bothered about being so exposed. But other mice didn't move. They stayed up against one wall, which indicate that they were afraid. Well, when fearful mice or you might say anxious mice like ones who stayed in one place. When mice like this were bred with one another repeatedly, after about 12 or so generations, then all of the offspring show similar signs of fearfulness. And even when the new born mouse from this generation was raised by a mother and with other mice who were not fearful, that mice still tend to be fearful as the result. Now, why is this? Well, it's thought that the specific gene in animal body haveinfluenced on the anxious behavior. These genes that are associated with particular nerve cell receptors in brain. And the degree of overall fearfulness in the mammal seemto depend in the large part on the presence or absence of these nerve cell receptors. And this appears to apply to humans as well by the way. But while the tendency towards anxiety and fear may well be an inherited trait, but the specific form that the fear takes has more to do individual environment. So a particular fear like the fear of snakes or the fear of spider, say, is not genetic. But the overall tendency to have fearful responses is. 43. What is the talk mainly about? 44. How did some of the mice in the study demonstrated that they were afraid? 45. According to the professor, what contribute to a mammal tendency to be fearful? 46. Why does the prof. mentions snakes and spiders? 47-50 One type of natural spring geographer is interested in is artesian spring. Hiking through the woods some of you are surprised to see water flowing from the opening in the ground. That will no more ever. That may be artesian spring. To help you understand why water might flow like this from underground, I'd like to explain two basic conditions that necessary for their formation. The first condition is that water must be contained in an aquifer(含水土层. An aquifer is an underground layer of rock sediment that has pores or holes in it. And this pores rock allows water to flow through it freely. The aquifer must be inclined so that the over the surface of the ground. Rain water enter this through exposed and traveled downward to the lower portion of the aquifer. The second condition is that above and below the aquifer there must be layer of pores or clay. Either calledaquicludes(含水土层, and they block or hinder the flow of water. Aquicludes prevent water from drilling out of aquifers. So, let us go back to our artesian spring. There usually located above the ground near the lower and wind …… aquifer. A artesian spring are those places some hole crack stand from the ground surface, down through the Aquicludes and into the aquifer. Now the rain water that had drilled into the aquifer makes expose up end created pressure at the low end, so if there is crack in the rock, a crack that run from the aquifer to the surface, then the pressure pushes the water up through it. and water trickling out of the artesian spring. 47. What is the topic mainly about? 48. Why are the aquicludes important to the development of the artesianspring? 49. According to the prof., how does water in the aquifer reach the ground surface? 50. What does the prof. Say about the pressure?。

But I wanna take you back you a time when newspapers first started be printed in the United States, while that then they were still British colonies. Any let’s discuss for a moment the role newspapers played in the colonial times, Er, about around the 1700’s Before that time, there were of course many printed materials, the box certainly but. ..but also XX, government and legal documents, XXX of this sort. The first colonial newspaper to appear was not what we were expected today, it’s only one small sheet printed in two sides. It was also different from the United States’ newspapers today in that all news had be officially approved by the governor before printing. And early printer name James Franklin, wook a XXX step by starting an independent newspaper.. Franklin, who want to own printing press, want to be free form outside control above all, he want the paper to entertain the people with humors and critical news items. Franklin’s newspaper was especially significant because literacy was in XX at the time, even knows who weren’t able to read or expose to the information in the newspapers by hearing it. Newspapers were read loud everywhere, in home, workshop and XXX. By the mid 1700’s, there were more than a dozen colonial newspapers what James Franklin began was a tradition of the independence press where ideas and information spread quickly, and humor and different opinions were tolerated.Q43-46Let’s move the discussion away from Jupiter itself and look at its moons. Now there is one particular that XXX recently and that’s XX. We known for a long time that XX is the largest moon in the solar system. But in 1994, the Galileo aerospace probe sent back the information showing us the XX in many ways. The XX is like a full XX planet.. Now the XX is larger than Mercury, and about half the size of the earth. It’s covered with ice and some dark XXXX. While Galileo has showed us though is that XXX’s surface is deeply rain cold with regions and XXX. XXX It is experience some of the dynamic forces that move xxx and cause quake on earth. But Galileo detected an even bigger surprise for scientists. XXX appears to generated its own magnetic field. That’s a planet like quality that set it apart from all other moons. Now what causes is this magnetic field is a matter of the bit for the scientists. But all are is possibilities .It could mean that despite its cold severer XXX has a core of a XX metal inside it generating the magnetic field. That’s what causes the earth ‘s magnetic field.or it could mean that there is a thin layer of salty water conducting the electricity just beneath XXX’s surface. Something else Galileo was able to detected xxi s flu was sudden increase in the density of electrical charge particles. XXXX., which in turn has let scientist to believe that XXX has some sorts of atmosphere, however thin itmaybe.Q47-50Let’s talk the environmental issue that has to do with how common XXX have changed.
