 口語第三題:

NO.1

報紙出通知:新生統一住校,原因有二:一是向學生提供建立學習小組的機會;二是緩解校園停車場的壓力。

女的不同意:一,.她拿自己舉例,根本沒有因為住校而建立學習小組;二,新生住校非但不能緩解停車場的壓力,反而會因為更多的學生住校帶來更多的長時間霸佔車位的現象而造成車位短缺加劇。

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

說2種survey

estimation survey(好像是這個詞)就是估算了,舉例:公司調查停車位,只要大概瞭解多少員工就可

B.精確survey(原詞忘記了),舉例:學校調查有多少老師教science,就需要精確數字

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

閱讀:停止爵士合唱團,因為感興趣的人少,沒有必要繼續了

聽力:女人覺得真不好。

理由一:主要是因為平時訓得太勤了,導致很多學生不來了

理由二:沒有其他選擇了,很多是經典,但不是爵士,女人不喜歡,其他學生也不喜歡。

NO.6

口語三:學校報社計劃推出一個pro-peering?project,即,在學生提交Paper前,報社人員幫助同學修改,有利於balabala

女生覺得 不好, 1)報社人員也是學生,不一定給出什麼好建議。

2)即使好建議, 也不利於學生的長遠發展, 還是培養獨立意識比較好。

NO.7

閱讀:【公開信】:小報上刊登了來自一個學生的公開信. 倡議大學應該to build an electronic board (電子告示板)at student center.

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

(之前使用貼在校園各處的海報不一定能讓所有人看見,而這個電子告示板在固定的位置,學校的人來來往往能看見,資訊覆蓋面很大)

2. 學校也會更整潔,因為牆上沒海報了

聽力:【學生議論】:男學生覺得這主意interesting, 女生反對這個計劃.

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. 舉了她在圖書館看到海報,所以didn't miss a show / concert的例子.

電子告示板不一定能夠像預想的那樣,讓那麼多人獲取資訊,因為很多人不願意花時間特意經過電子告示板來看有什麼新的訊息。舉例:她自己上週五去了圖書館看到海報,所以didn't miss a show / concert,如果沒有去過就看不到了,所以一個資訊不能只在一個地方釋出。

2. Even though the new bulletin board was estabilished, students will still do posters because of it is convenient (沒有人會提交information, 然後再等它post出來)

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

NO.8

S3閱讀:是說學校決定把每個班級的人數從8人增加到15人。原因是有更多的學生apply這些課程,但是學校的faculty有限。

聽力;男同學的意見:1、增加人數減少了communication with faculty,降低了小課堂的參與程度

2、既然有更多的學生,就可以獲得更多的錢,就可以請更多的faculty解決了人力不足的問題。簡言之就是 more students, more money, more faculty

問題是:學校作出了怎樣的決定,男同學的意見是什麼?

NO.9

大學要建藝術教學樓,女生同意,因為新樓寬敞明亮,有助於創作;對教授的聲譽又有好處,因為校外一樓的修建,導致人們紛紛去那個樓去學藝術。

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. (這個地方我不是很確定)

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

【學生寫信】:

學生寫信建議學校的劇院演出應該向所有人免費開放。

好處1:當地居民能夠得到free entrainment;

好處2:觀眾多了演員會演的更有熱情。

【學生態度】:男生贊成此建議。

理由1:nearby沒有什麼theater, 來回的交通費加上演出費很貴。開放學校劇院能讓當地居民不用跑很遠就能欣賞到professional的演出;

理由2:男生自己作為一個actor, 覺得觀眾多可以給他鼓勵。舉例說當表演一段幽默戲的時候,底下只坐了一半人,沒什麼人笑,會影響表演質量。相反,要是人多,反響熱烈,表演也更有勁了。

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

NO.13

閱讀:一個學生給的提議,說學校地上垃圾多,張貼畫也髒,多。提議學生組成volunteer,分組拾垃圾。

聽力中兩個學生討論,一個女生就不同意,她說:髒要看情況,我們學校這麼大,人這麼多。剛掃乾淨,又會有垃圾,張貼畫,你撕了人家再貼,也是一樣的,而且學生到學校是學習的,不是做志願者的。真要乾淨校園,學校要僱人,花錢叫專人來幹。

NO.14

閱讀建議:在學生宿舍中增加kitchen. 理由1)give an alternative to eating。理由2)having fun to prepare and eat with friends

聽力觀點:男學生同意該提議。理由1)學校餐廳的飯不好吃,如果有食堂就有了另外一個選擇。理由2)除了有樂趣以外,還能在準備飯的同時彼此互相學習。

NO.15

口osal of adding seats in the Andreson Theater

要求概括這個proposal以及一個女生的反對。

s不夠,很多show是學生們想去但買不了票的-反對:只有少數是這樣,大部分show都有位子,所以沒需要加seats

B.學校能通過更多位子賣更多票增加收入-反對:收入個毛,這是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

Listening: Our plan for the center

1) The professors are usually busy and have no time to help students with improving their writing. The new center can do that.

2) The center is good for editing student writing and for helping them discover career options in the future.

NO.17

一學生寫信申請圖書館讓用手機cellphone,女生反對,理由1:低聲說話對方聽不見,大聲勢必noise理由2:急事可以出去打電話,check message

NO.18

The student proposes the university should open a snack shop on campus that is entirely operated by students because it will help to create jobs for students and be convenient for students to buy food.

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.

 口語第四題:

NO.1

報dormancy這一概念,閱讀材料講到冬眠的涵義:幫助渡過惡劣環境;降低自身生理能耗。

聽力材料裡professor講述了一個肺魚的例子:在河水乾涸之後魚就躲在河床上之前就打好的洞裡,這樣一方面可以隔熱、保溼,另一方面可以降低呼吸、心跳頻率。

NO.2

口四:報dormancy這一概念,閱讀材料講到冬眠的涵義:幫助渡過惡劣環境;降低自身生理能耗。

聽力材料裡professor講述了一個肺魚的例子:在河水乾涸之後魚就躲在河床上之前就打好的洞裡,這樣一方面可以隔熱、保溼,另一方面可以降低呼吸、心跳頻率。

NO.3

Reading part:

【名詞解釋】:

backward framing事後重塑

消費者嘗試一種新產品後會做出評價,如果不喜歡,可以通過廣告改變其記憶,使記憶趨向積極的一面。

Listening part:

【教授舉例】:

Professor舉例說,他們提供了coffeesample給一組願意接受市場調查的人喝,在他們不知情的狀況下加了鹽和醋,喝起來味道會怪怪的。喝完coffee後,給他們看了一組廣告,廣告里人們坐在一起喝咖啡,很happy並且還面帶微笑。因為看了廣告,所有人都還是跟廣告裡面的人一樣評價說這咖啡很棒。

Question:用聽力的例子來解釋對這個概念的理解。

NO.4

natural consequence 閱讀講的小孩做錯事,大人口語不用懲罰,由著做錯事的結果來懲罰孩子。 聽力,教授給了個例子,教授5歲的女兒經常把玩具放在後院,平常教授都幫女兒收拾。 一天女兒還是把玩具放在後院,教授沒有幫收拾,那天晚上下雨,把她的玩具損壞了,女兒在這件事後認識到自己的錯,以後再也不幫玩具放後院

NO.5

4.大學旁邊住房問題,rent等,聽力裡的woman完全不同意,大概說了3個原因(我是說了3個).1.貼廣告不一定能和需要系的人相比其他學校已經很低3.一些學生喜歡在summer住在學校附近(這個跟新policy怎麼聯絡上的,忘記了) 問題就是summary reasons.

NO.6

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(文中始終未給出該螞蟻名稱), 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

閱讀:【課文要點】: Negative Ideation: a method used by people to resist desires by adding something negative. 就是說通過聯絡不好的情況來resist壞東西,幫人解決壞習慣d parasites(孵育寄生動物): animals that use a unconventional tactic to let other animals hatch their offspring for them.

就是說通過聯絡不好的情況來resist壞東西,幫人解決壞習慣。即 make negative associations with the thing, 這樣就可以讓這個東西變得less appealing and more resistible。教授用一個自己的例子解釋。

聽力:【教授舉例】: 教授舉的他自己戒除巧克力的例子. 教授很喜歡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. 後來Whenever he wanted to buy chocolate bar he would think it is associate with mud which is the mixture of dirt and water, 來reduce the temptation, 就戒了he stopped buying.

教授舉例他以前很喜歡吃巧克力,但是過高的糖分讓他過於肥胖。為了戒掉巧克力,讓自己更健康,他採取了這種technique,他把巧克力切成小碎末然後拍了一張照片。他想象巧克力是mud做的,這樣逐漸他就覺得巧克力很噁心,後來就戒掉了。

question:用聽力的例子解釋對negative ideation的理解

NO.8

閱讀:動物有固定的patterns of behavior

聽力:1、一種小魚:male fish會do attack dance to the finish entering its territory 而且是有red mark的,如果沒有red mark就不會

2、goose:female鵝生過蛋後會move its head back and forth,但是當它的egg被moved away 以後,它仍然這樣

問題是:講一講什麼是動物的這種慣性行為(文中用了縮寫,好象是AFS 還是FAS記不清了),然後講講lecture中間的例子如何證明的。

NO.9

廣告應該忠實於產品的功能,但是現在的廣告為了達到吸引顧客的目的,紛紛引用名人說的話,這樣可能會誤導消費者(quote out of context)。聽力的例子是電影,電影開場前,打的廣告是引用名人的話,但是電影播放後結果確實是很不好。

NO.10

Task4:

文章:一個proposal, 建議學校拿出一部分activity budget給學生參加 academic conferences.

男生:覺得這個建議不好,有兩點原因:1) 活動經費應該就給那些原來intended for的活動,比如cultural activities, extracurricular activities, for example, concerts. 2) 學校其他的academic departments 已經有給學生參加學術會議的經費預算,學生只要申請,教授會決定是否給錢讓學生去開會。

要求:summarize proposal, 然後說男生的評價

NO.11

閱讀:

內在原因,當人們找事情原因時,找自己的原因叫內在原因。它可能會讓人失去自信,也可以自我鼓勵更加努力。

聽力:

NO.12

TASK4

閱讀解釋概念:internal attribute: 將事物發生的原因歸結自己的內在問題,而不是外界因素。

聽力教授舉自己的例子解釋這個概念。具體為:該教授青少年時期在一家公司工作,負責整理檔案。他遇到困難總是不能及時完成工作。該教授沒有抱怨老闆也沒有抱怨工作太多而是想辦法提高自己的能力。最後教授提高自己的能力,能按時完成工作,變得非常擅長自己的工作。

NO.13

口4. internal competition

reading passage:

companies have some successful products 佔據市場;但它們會introduce new products, 於是consumers 不買舊的買這個公司新的了。所以internal competition 意味著同個公司內部new products 搶了established products的profits, 簡單來說就是公司內部自己的新舊產品之間競爭。 但這是沒辦法的,必須引進新產品,因為新產品才能和別的公司競爭

lecture:

教授說自己當教授前是一個automobile公司的總監之類的,他們公司之前有個top sell的small cars, 長得不好看但實用安全。後來別的公司的車挺時尚的,於是他公司為了競爭也產了一款新的more stylish的車。於是他公司的擁躉不買舊款買新款了。但這是必須的,因為為了come up with 其他公司,與其他公司競爭

NO.14

Task4:

Reading:

一個關於經濟學的定義: xxx externality 定義:可能人們並沒有明確的requirement,不是但是確因為其它的事情擦產生的一種interaction.

Listening:

教授舉例:一個公司要換掉他們的old buses. 但是他們不想單純的換一批一模一樣的new buses.因為fossil fuel相當的汙染環境.問題是他們又沒有足夠的錢去弄一批用電發動的bus.於是他們寫了信給政府,政府覺得這樣可以幫助改善環境,於是答應了給錢給他們.所以這個城市的市民就受益了,因為他們所生活的地方環境被改善了.

Question: Explain the definition of xxx externality, how the example in the listening passage prove the definition given by the reading passage?

NO.15

Reading:

Task partitioning - insects use their own specialized methods to accomplish tasks by dividing the work into separate groups.

Listening:

The professor gives an example of leaf-cutting ants.

Group1: climbs trees and picks up leaves.

Group2: cuts the leaves into small pieces, making them easier for transport.

Group3: brings the leaves back to the nest.

In this example, the groups can finish each of their tasks independently.

NO.16

Reading part Listening part【名詞解釋】:

emotion display(情緒表達規則):

It means the expression of emotion depends on the society in which we are live in.【教授舉例】:

The professor uses an example of his 4-year-old daughter. She had a birthday party. Prior to the party, parents told her that she should hide her negative emotion when she did not like the gift received. Her grandmother gave her cute clothes as a gift. But the girl did not like it and felt disappointed. Before her negative emotion became too obvious, her mother said the clothes were very cute. The girl suddenly realized that she should say thank you to grandmother and she did that.

Question:用聽力的例子來解釋對這個概念的理解。

NO.17

NO.18

口4: sociology,一個女教授說不同種群的人會用自己創造的語音來進行對話。

舉了兩個例子;一個是醫生們用自己有的專業知識來進行交流,但對病人就要詳細說明;一個是一群share experience的人,有過共同經歷,只要mention 事情的keyword就能引起共鳴。 summarize一下就可以了。

版本2是developmental response就是植物可以調整自己適應環境的改變。教授舉了pine trees作為例子。這種樹可以長在陰涼地方或者sunny place。長在陰涼地方,SOIL溼,就不需要發達extended roots system去生存。長在陽光好的地方,土地幹,需要發達的根系汲取充足的水分。

口語第五題:

Possible Solutions:

1) Attend the study group:

- Can't change the time since other students aren't free at other times.

2) Go to the Presentation:

- He is passionate about writing and really wants to go.

- Not all of the photos she wants to show are included in the album

The woman's problem is that she shared a room with others off-campus. Her roommate is too noisy and she cannot do her own things. She is considering moving to another apartment next year.

There are two solutions for her. First, she can move back to campus. The university dorm has a policy about keeping quiet during certain hours of the day and it isn't expensive. But there's no kitchen in the dorm and the woman is really into cooking. Second, she can find another apartment near campus. It will be convenient because she has a job in library for 24 hours at a time. But with an apartment, she has the added pressure of paying rent.

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.

作為孕育地。動物可以lay eggs or give birth, 直到它們的寶寶長大成熟。舉例,一種鯊魚在靠近海洋的溼地產卵,因為這裡大動物少,可以減少被捕食者捕食的機率;

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.

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.
