Task 3:
No.1
The school plans to close the gym for 2 weeks during the spring break for some minor renovations. The woman in the conversation agrees.
First, the renovations won't cause much inconvenience because few students will stay on campus during the break. Those who do stay usually focus on their study and seldom use the gym. Like when she was staying on campus to finish up a project, she went to the gym once and no one was there. Second, outdoor facilities are still available if students do want to exercise. It is quite warm and actually perfect for outdoor activities.
NO.2
阅读:学校说下学期开始给新生做的campus tour就不由admin来做了,让高年级学生自己做
,听力:某女很同意,理由一是admin太忙了,理由二是学生对campus有不同的看法,并且这些看法更practical.
NO.3
Passage 一个letter关于教学楼内improvement proposal. 一是在每层楼多设 power plug. 二是每层楼设打印机。
Conversation:男生同意这个建议。第一条他说现在很多学生都有laptop. 举了个自己的例子,说他带laptop 去上课,但没电了,他找不到power plug, 跑了很远充电。第二条是学生有可能在课间完成assignment, 需要打印。
NO.4
jazz band 要在 afternoon 在校园的 lawn 开 concert ,woman 不满意 因为 1. 学生要学习, 会打扰,evening 更好 2. 很多人聚堆会踏坏草坪
The jazz band is going to hold free concerts on the lawn on campus in the afternoon.
The woman disagrees with it.
Reason 1: Students study in the afternoon, so concerts will disturb them. It's better to have concerts in the evening.
Reason 2: Too many people standing on the lawn will destroy it.
NO.5
学校要建个休息室给不住学校的学生用,可以放书,有locker,放一些bus schedule。男生不同意一:住学校的同学也需要,因为宿舍很远。图书馆已经有locker,不需要再建。二:没必要专门为放bus schedule建休息室,网上电话都可以查。
NO.6
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.7
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.8
说2种survey
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
B.精确survey(原词忘记了),举例:学校调查有多少老师教science,就需要精确数字
NO.9
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.10
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.11
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.12
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.13
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.14
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.15
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.16
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.17
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.18
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。
Task 4:
No.1
Recruitment: Insects release signals to inform other insects to come and cooperate. For example, there is a type of ant called the fire ant that live in nests in South America. Some ants have a special job which is to leave the nests to find food. When one ant finds a piece of fruit too big for it to carry back, it will walk back to recruit more ants while releasing a chemical that forms a trail on the way. When it arrives, other ants can then follow the trail and find the fruit and then carry it back together.
NO.2
Definition: Environment impact assessment, ""The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers consider the environmental impacts when deciding whether or not to proceed with a project."
Example: The professor gives an example of a construction company. The company was going to build a shopping center on a large land. Before the construction, they did a study and found the land was wetland. Their original plan was to fill solid soil into this land. But the environment impact assessment said that the wetland was very important for the environment. It could prevent flooding because it could hold water. So they decided not to fill the land and cancel this plan. Alternatively, they moved to another piece of land.
NO.3
阅读部分讲到实验考古学,研究人员运用古人的技术和工具来实践。听力部分讲了个例子,说有一块大陆和一个岛,这个岛上的人最早是不是从这个大陆来的呢?大陆上的人有木有这个能力到岛上去。于是研究人员就用当年的技术、木头和绳索造了个木木筏,然后坐这个木筏穿过这片海洋,证明大陆上的人是有能力去岛上的,所以很可能是岛上的人的来源。
NO.4
Task4:
priming:人们早先的经历会影响他们对事物的interpret
例子:如果一个男生,上车并且打开notebook 然后写东西:
一个女人早上遇到大学同学,就回想起大学生活。所以她认为这个男生是学生并且在work for classes 或work for due paper
一个女人刚刚读完诗歌,所以她认为男生是诗人。
NO.5
Task 4:
anticipated emotion。人们采取行动之前会对自己做了这个事情之后会有一个怎样的心情有一个估测,然后根据这个估测决定自己是不是要做那件事。lecture 里,教授举例子说有一次去给妹妹买生日礼物,发现一件很想买的 jacket,但是买了 jacket 之后就只能给妹妹买很便宜的小礼物,于是他就想如果真的买了 jacket 的话他肯定会很愧疚,所以最后决定还是不买了
Anticipated emotion: Before doing something, people will anticipate the kind of emotion they might have after doing it, and therefore decide whether they will do it or not based on the emotion.
Example: The professor went to buy his sister a birthday present, but saw a jacket he really wanted. If he bought the jacket, he would have to buy a cheaper present for his sister. Then thought about how he would feel if he had bought the jacket and thought he would feel guilty, so he decided not to buy the jacket.
NO.6
Task 4
Marketing
Reading material:广告最常用的诉求策略就是affiliation:a sense of being member of certain group.就是群体归属感。经常表现为两种方式:做对的事,成为群体一员;做错的事,被群体抛弃。
Listening material:广告商经常采取的营销策略,就是品牌归属感诉求。举某种苏打水Suda为例。
要么是一群男女,灯红酒绿,都喝同一种品牌的Suda水,这意味着,喝这种品牌,就能享受共同的happy;
要么是一个人boy在酒吧里,灯红酒绿,他开了一瓶Suda,但很不幸是错的品牌brand,突然间全场安静,朋友moving away,就是因为他开了错的Suda,就被群体孤立。
问题:描述affiliation,及教授的内容。
答案:The Reading material gave the definition of affiliation, that is……It manifests in two ways:…
In the listening material, the professor keeps on talk about it by introducing two examples:…
NO.7
报dormancy这一概念,阅读材料讲到冬眠的涵义:帮助渡过恶劣环境;降低自身生理能耗。
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。
NO.8
口四:报dormancy这一概念,阅读材料讲到冬眠的涵义:帮助渡过恶劣环境;降低自身生理能耗。
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。
NO.9
Reading part:
【名词解释】:
backward framing事后重塑
消费者尝试一种新产品后会做出评价,如果不喜欢,可以通过广告改变其记忆,使记忆趋向积极的一面。
Listening part:
【教授举例】:
Professor举例说,他们提供了coffee sample给一组愿意接受市场调查的人喝,在他们不知情的状况下加了盐和醋,喝起来味道会怪怪的。喝完coffee后,给他们看了一组广告,广告里人们坐在一起喝咖啡,很happy并且还面带微笑。因为看了广告,所有人都还是跟广告里面的人一样评价说这咖啡很棒。
Question:用听力的例子来解释对这个概念的理解。
NO.10
natural consequence 阅读讲的小孩做错事,大人口语不用惩罚,由着做错事的结果来惩罚孩子。 听力,教授给了个例子,教授5岁的女儿经常把玩具放在后院,平常教授都帮女儿收拾。 一天女儿还是把玩具放在后院,教授没有帮收拾,那天晚上下雨,把她的玩具损坏了,女儿在这件事后认识到自己的错,以后再也不帮玩具放后院
NO.11
4.大学旁边住房问题,rent等,听力里的woman完全不同意,大概说了3个原因(我是说了3个).1.贴广告不一定能和需要系的人2.rent相比其他学校已经很低3.一些学生喜欢在summer住在学校附近(这个跟新policy怎么联系上的,忘记了) 问题就是summary reasons.
NO.12
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.13
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.Brood 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。
question:用听力的例子解释对negative ideation的理解
NO.14
阅读:动物有固定的patterns of behavior
听力:1、一种小鱼:male fish会do attack dance to the finish entering its territory 而且是有red mark的,如果没有red mark就不会
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.15
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.16
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
NO.17
阅读:内在原因,当人们找事情原因时,找自己的原因叫内在原因。它可能会让人失去自信,也可以自我鼓励更加努力。
