PART B 31---35 Conversation between two students who've met on campus.
*How do you and your housemates like the co-up? I'm thinking of joining it myself. *We like it quite a bit. We get some very fresh produce. And both staples and fair prices. But it certainly hasn't saved us time. The co-up doesn't carry everything. So we still wind up going to the supermarket too, for cleaning supplies, batteries, that sort of thing. I wish the co-up solved those items. I've been talking about it with some of the other members. *What do members have to do? Just to pay a membership fee? *Yeah. There's fee, and there are meetings. But attendance isn't required. But we do have to work there for an hour every week, which isn't too bad. Once you are there, you can get your shopping done. *I wouldn't mind working there some time. You get to learn about the products. But is the food free of additives? That will be the main reason I join. I'm a convert from junk food. Until now my diets have been largely chemical additives and pesticides. *Well, a lot of food is pure and pesticides-free. They also have vitamine supplements and soy and Toufu and that kind of thing. Lots of health food in shop there. So if any source health oriented, the co-up is. *I'd like to try it just for a month or so. Do they have trial memberships? *The shortest membership is one month. Then if you like it you can join for a longer peri
ods. And it becomes cheaper. A six month membership costs as much as 5 individual months. *Sounds pretty easy. Maybe the next time I run into you again it will be in the checkout line in the co-up. 31. What are the speakers mainly discussing? 32. What change does the woman suggesty the co-up make? 33. What is one thing the members of the co-up must do? 34. Why might the man join the co-up? 35. What is the advantage for the people who join the co-up for 6 month period?
36---39 Conversation between two students in the campus cafeteria.
*Gosh! Fred, another cup of coffee? That's your third since lunch. *Yeah. Well, I stayed up all night cramming for my history exam. I couldn't keep my eyes open in my last class. I'm having this coffee so I can stay awake this afternoon. *Don't you know that drinking too much coffee is harmful? *What do you mean harmful? *Well, for one thing it may cause heart disease. *Nah, Most of the research about the link between coffee and the heart disease is inconclusive. *But coffee has coffee in which is addictive. *You can't become addicted to caffeine like other drugs. *Yes, you can. Don't you know that people who are deprived of caffeine suffer with draw symptoms, esp. headaches. *One cure for headaches, oddly enough, is caffeine. Haven't you ever noticed that many over-the-counter headache remedies use caffeine as one of their ingredients? Besides, coffee helps me work faster. *Studies have shown that coffee makes you work faster but not necessarily better. You may finish your exam in a shorter period of time but you won't have fewer errors. *You know, that soda you are drinking has caffeine in it too. *But 12 ounces of soda has only half the caffeine of a 5 ounces cup of coffee. And a cup of tea has less than that. *But I like the taste of coffee. *You could drink decaf. Decaffeinated coffee doesn't have as much flavor or body as regular coffee. Besides I wants something that will keep me alert in class. 36. What is the conversation mainly about? 37. What is the man's problem? 38. What does the man say research shows about coffee? 39. What does the woman probably think about coffee?
PART C 40---43 Part of lecture in a composition class.
By the end of the term I hop you'll be convinced as I am that formal writing always requires revision. Sometimes it requires a fairly major rewriting of the paper. Some students may have the mis
taken idea that revision means simply making corrections in spelling and grammar. I call that proofreading. What I expect you to do is you revise, is to evaluate and improve the overall effectiveness of your paper. But how can you tell if your paper is effective? Well, for example, start by asking yourself these questions: Is the topic restricted enough to be fully discussed within the given links? Are the main ideas clear? Are they supported by the specific details in the examples? Do they move smoothly from one idea to the next? You'll need enough time for a possible major overhaul, that is, you may have to make a lot of changes before your paper becomes really clear to the reader. So I'll expect a preliminary draft of each paper two weeks before the final due date. That way I can critisize it and get it back in time for you to revise it. Then you can submit it a final draft for grading. This process may seem like a great deal of trouble at first but I think you will find it valuable. In fact after you finish this course I doubt that you will ever turn in a term paper without first revising it carefully. 40. What is the purpose of the talk? 41. What should be the student's main goal as they revise their work? 42. When should the first draft be turned in? 43. What effect does the instructor think the class will have on the students?
44---46 Radio program about environmental issues. Our electric car is the way of the future. Automobile manufactures are under the pressure to develop cars that do not pollute. One powerful motive is a California law requiring that by the year 2000 10% of the new car sales in the state be so-called zero emission vehicles. These cars must put no pollutants whatsoever into the atmosphere. California is a huge market for the automobile companies. So they are working hard to meet this standards. So far the electric car seems to be the best alternative. So the biggest advantage of electric cars is that they don't pollute. However they will be in competition with gas powered cars. And that's where the witnesses come out. The big problem is that the batteries in electric cars weigh a lot relative to the amount of power they deliver. For instance in one electric car the batteries weigh four hundred kilograms and they provide enough energy to go 250 km before recharging, which take 8 hours. Compare that to a moderately fuel efficient conventional car it can go 400-700 km on a tank of gas. And refilling takes just
minutes. If there are other drains on an electric car's batteries besides a motor, headlights, air-conditioning or a heater, its already limited range would be significantly reduced. So automobile engineers are trying to make more powerful batteries that would increase the car's range and make them more attractive to buyers. 44. What is the talk mainly about? 45. What is the main advantage of electric cars over gas-powered cars? 46. What is the main drawback of an electric car?
47---50 Talk of national history at a museum I'd like to welcome you all to the museum of natural history. Today's tour will take us through our newly-renovated dinosaur exhibit, where we have the largest collection of dinosaur fossils anywhere in the world. Before we begin the tour let me mention that there have been some major modifications to some of the exhibits over the past three years. Basically these changes were made because of the recent changes in the way scientists interpret dinosaur behaviour. For example, when we get to the first room, you will be able to see that tyrannosaurus rex skeleton is no longer standing upright with its tail dragging on the floor. That's because paleontologists, as they examine the area around its footprints more closely, realized they could find no evidence of a heavy dragging tail, which would have left behind marks in the earth. In its new position, the backbone is parallel to the floor, its head is pushed forward and its tail is stretched out acting as a counterweight. This new pose stresses the relationship between dinosaurs and modern birds and supports the theory that dinosaurs are actually more closely related to birds than to any other existing creature. Let me also point out that we have changed the way we group dinosaurs in our displays. There is a new school of thought called kledistics where scientists determine relationships among the animals according to common physical characteristics. The plateosaurus and the ovirapter, for instance, are separated by 148 million years, but they are grouped together here because they both have a grassbean forefoot and its S-shaped neck. Physical evidence that they are indeed related. So now the exhibition halls are arranged more like a family tree rather than the walk-through tine that they used to be. 47. Why has the museum modified the dinosaur exhibit? 48. What is the tyrannosaurus rex new position evidence of? 49. Why are the plateosaurus and the ovirapter displa
would promote trade protect private property and perhaps most of all collect taxes to pay off the United States' large war debts. Because a number of those who wrote the constitution had loaned money to the government during the revolution. Which view is correct? Well , historians who wrote during the calm and prosperous 1950s found reasons to believe the idealist view. Those who wrote during the trouble of 1960s found support for the economic view point. I'd say that neither view is complete, both the idealist and the economic perspective contribute a part to the whole picture. 43. what is the talk mainly about? 44. According to the economic view, who benefited the most from the new Constitution? 45. What can be inferred about the views of the historians?
46---50 Part of a speech on birds by a biologist. Many egg-laying animals merely lay their eggs and leave. Turtles for instance, the eggs hatch on their own. The current theory about birds is that the earliest birds did just that when they were cold-blooded creatures living in warm places. However when they became warm-blooded creatures living in cold places they had to remain on the eggs to keep them warm. The process we call incubation. For this they needed a place --- a nest. Very likely the first nests were just primitive depressions scrape into the ground. Even now many species still lay eggs in this sort of crude nests. In fact every spring a mother killdeer lays her in some pebbles along the edge of the parking lot just outside this building. Primitive nests on the ground were fine for some birds but others began to elevate their nests in branches perhaps to avoid predators. These early elevated nests were probably loose platf nest, you know, like a robin's nest. 46. What is the main topic of the talk? 47. What evolutionary change in birds led to nest building? 48. According to the speaker, where were the first bird's nests located? 49. What is the killdeer's nest in parking lot an example of? 50.According to the speaker, what is a possible reason that birds began to build nests in trees?
