13、aking notes in class means wasting of time, and what you should do is listening intently to the lecturer. reason 1 Firstly, making notes is undoubtedly time consuming. The only thing it tests is your writing speed rather than your intellectual capability. In fact. we learn because we want to stimula

14、te our minds, not to mechanically copy from what others have written down. reason 2 Secondly, learning is a course of interaction, you learn something from the teachers, and only by thinking can it become your own knowledge.

19、that opinion. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：(opinion The man does not agree to add a kitchen to the student dormitory. reason 1 One reason is that the place of dorm room is limited if students want to have some activities after class, such as watching TV or holding theme parties, so there would be no more room le

20、ft for a kitchen in the dormitory. reason 2 The other reason is that as students they are so busy with their class assignments, they dont have any time to cook at all. Besides, some of them dont have the basic cooking skills. So learning to cook from a recipe book seems rather a waste of time.)解析：听力

21、原文 W: Hi, look. I think the school will be right if they follow this proposal. M: You really think so? I dont like it. Look, in the dorm room students should do all the activities except cooking, because recreational activities like holding parties, watching TV or films and etc can bring students in

22、variably creative, inclusive and amazing fun, especially after having spent a whole day on their studies. Therefore, I believe the school should keep kitchens out of dormitories and leave more space for entertainment. W: That is true. In addition to full time study during the day, we all should have

23、 some fun and slow down. M: Thats right! Our schedules are always fully packed with assignments, seminars, exams, or even part-time jobs. So making ourselves regular meals every day is something impossible for us. Also, some students dont know how to cook, and learning to cook from a recipe book wil

24、l definitely consume a lot of time they would otherwise spend on their studies. W: Thats right. Many students even never consider cooking in their dorm room. Eating in schools cafeteria is easy and can save them a lot of time. M: Absolutely!五、BSpeaking Questi(总题数：1，分数：20.00)4.Animal CommunicationCom

25、munication is a process by which meaning is shared among living creatures. Animals communicate by combining multiple signals, like movements or sounds, in order to convey meaning.

27、w animals communicate by combining movements or actions. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：(topic (reading) The reading is on the topic of animal communication. Though animals cannot speak a language as we do, they have their own methods to express meanings, thats by a mixture of certain movements and sounds. The pro

28、fessor sets how his own dog acts in two different situations as an example. example 1 First, if some unpleasant noises like a truck or a lawnmower annoys him, he will immediately run toward the noise, with his ears standing up. example 2 However, when he wants to play with another dog, youll also se

29、e his ears bristling. But in such case he also wags his tail. What he wants to means is that he is happy.

30、an have two different meanings depending on the context. Thats why its important to read behaviors as a combination of signals. Let me give you an example. We all know that dogs are very expressive animals. In fact, dogs put many motions together to convey a feeling. Take my own dog as an example. U

31、nder two different circumstances he will exhibit the same behaviors. Only by taking his actions in combination can you understand what he is trying to express. My dog hates loud noises so when the garbage truck comes by our house or if our neighbors mow their lawns, his ears will stand up. In additi

32、on, he will run toward the noise and start barking. This means that he is agitated or angry. Now you might think that his ears standing up means hes angry., But his ears also stand up when he sees the neighbors dog. This isnt because he is angry or irritated, but because he is happy. How can I tell?

33、 Well, he gets very excited and wags his tail vigorously when he wants to play with another dog. So this is an example of why we should view communication as a combination of behaviors. Sometimes, the same movements can mean two different things in two different contexts.六、BSpeaking Questi(总题数：1，分数：

38、es I was supposed to attach to the newspaper have run into a little problem. I mean the photos developed are not clear. But the worst thing is that no one seems to know how to clean up and make them look perfect. W: Why not just publish the article without any pictures? M: No, I really cant do this

39、because images are greatly required in order to capture students attention to my article. Typically, younger readers like college students spend less time reading the newspaper than older readers. They would respond more favorably to interesting and informative pictures engaged in a story than to th

40、e scenario alone. So we need pictures to attract students to our newspaper. W: Yes, that makes sense to me. Magazines with more entertaining and colorful graphics usually attract a lot of young readers. So how much time is left before your article is published in the newspaper? M: I guess I have jus
