First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25. Pause the reco

26、rding for 30 seconds. Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25. Tutor: Well, Anita and Lee. That was an interesting presentation you made about John Chapman. There are a few points Id like to run through before you write it up. One thing which you didnt explain was why you decided to do a

27、presentation on this man who spread apple varieties across the US? Anita: Well, ages ago, we were chatting about stuff wed read as children, and I told Lee the Johnny Appleseed story -I had these American story books when I was small. Then(21)when we were looking into the area of domesticated specie

28、s of plants for our presentation, we realised that the introduction of the apple with the settlers in the US would be a good case study . Lee: And I remembered Chapman, so we looked up the real guy behind the legend. Tutor: Right. I think that would have made a good intra. Anita: I thought it was to

29、o personal. Tutor: Just a couple of minutes would have drawn your listeners in. Anyway. Now a more serious point. You didnt mention the sources of some of your information. Lee: We used some books and journal articles and did an internet search and found some good sites. Anita:(22)Weve put them on t

30、he back of the handout we gave everyone at the end. Tutor: Ah, let me see. Oh, here it is. Johnny Appleseed: Man and Myth, 1967. Well, the thing is, you really have to make this explicit when you talk. And anything you show, data you project from your laptop, etc., you must have the source on it. An

31、ita: Right, OK. Tutor: At least you have got it all documented. I was a bit concerned about that. Anita: Sorry. Tutor: Anyway. Now, the content of your talk.(23)What your listeners wanted to understand was whether there were apples in the US before the Europeans started to live there. You told us th

32、e early settlers had brought young apple trees but that few of them had thrived because the climate was harsh, but what about native species? I dont think you were very clear about species already there. Lee: Um, according to what Ive read, there were some crab apples, but that was all. Everything t

33、hat people now think of as traditional American apples, were species that the Europeans either introduced or bred by chance. Anita: Because they tended to sow seeds rather than use grafting. Tutor: Yes, quite. But(24)what to me was fascinating - and I saw most members of your audience start to take

34、notes - was when you discussed how the apple genes spread via the Silk Route into Europe from the wild apple woods of Kazakhstan. Lee: Yes, well, Id like to have said more about the development of grafting in ancient China, as a way of producing predictable varieties. It was so early in history! Tut

35、or: But its the natural development of the original wild apple into new species that people wanted more about. Which says a lot for your presentation. You enthused your audience! So, now we need to discuss the form your follow-up work will take. Are you going to produce a paper? Or are you thinking

36、of putting it all up on the department website? Anita: Um, I felt we could do both. And we could do a poster of some of the data. But Lee wasnt sure. Lee: No,(25)I think it would be enough to use the website. We can offer a link to our email for queries. That would save time and trees! Tutor I think

37、 Lees right. A poster would be nice, but itd take too much time. Anita: OK. Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30. Pause the recording for 30 seconds. Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30. Tutor: Now I just want to give you a few pointers

38、about the techniques of your presentation. Mostly it was good, but there are a few things you need to bear in mind next time you do one.(26)You both managed the hardware. I mean the projector and things, very well indeed, which is always a great help. Anita: Good. Lee: Thanks. Tutor: Youd obviously

39、checked it out carefully. Lee: Yes. But(27)unfortunately we hadnt finished our maps when we did the practice on my computer at home, thats why there were some the wrong way up. Anita: We didnt realise the software on the laptop was a bit different from the one I have. Tutor: But you sorted out the p

40、roblem very quickly and didnt let it fluster you, so it wasnt a big problem. We could all read the map when we needed to. Anita: So it was OK. but we could have done better, we realise. Tutor: Mm. There was a bit at the end where I felt something didnt go as youd planned - am I right? Lee: We had a

41、few maps which we ended up leaving out, because we needed to get on to our conclusions. Anita: Yes,(28)it took longer to explain the technical aspects of grafting than wed expected. Lee: So sticking to the time limit for each part of our presentation is something we didnt manage at all. Which means

42、weve definitely got to improve before we do another one. Anita: Yes. Tutor: Apart from that, well,(29)the handout was perfectly adequate for a seminar like this, it gave all the key information, and of course, now I realise the sources are listed at the back. But you need to do those references in t

43、he correct format, as footnotes in future. Anita: OK. Lee: Yes, sorry, we will. Tutor: And finally, other students will be presenting projects later in the course. I shall be reminding them(30)how well you both spoke and that no one had any problem hearing or understanding either of you. In that res

44、pect your talk was a model that the others can follow. Lee: Oh. thank you. Anita: Yes, thanks very much. This feedback has been very helpful. Tutor: Well done, both of you. See you in a fortnight. Anita and Lee: Bye. Thanks. 21 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 Distraction A: Lee says that he remembered Chapman but t

45、here is no suggestion he was Lees childhood hero; B: Although Johnny Appleseed came from one of Anitas childhood American story books, they chose the introduction of the apple into the US because they thought it would make a good case study, not because they necessarily wanted to talk about the US.

46、22 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 Distraction A: The tutor mentions the data on their laptop but this is to say where they should have recorded their source information; C: The tutor mentions data, but there is no mention of a database. 23 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 Distraction B: Although the tutor mentions native species,

47、this refers to trees, not people; C: It is Lee, not the tutor, who talks about traditional American apples being either introduced or bred by Europeans(and not necessarily in Europe). 24 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 Distraction A: grafting techniques were what particularly interested Lee, not the audience; B: Th

48、e apple trees in Kazakhstan were wild, not cultivated. 25 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 Distraction B and C: Anita says I felt we could do bothproduce a paper and put it on the website. And we could do a poster . but Lee and the tutor do not agree with her and she accepts their opinion. 26 【正确答案】 A 27 【正确答案】 B 28
