The problem
8、with printed news is it takes so long to produce it that the stories could have changed or more important news could have happened minutes after the newspaper is delivered. So, I scan the local stories in the paper when I get home from work, then I watch the international news on TV at night for the
9、 most current information, and the following morning, I click on one of the websites that offer the most recent updates of the lead stories. That way, Im taking advantage of the best aspects of all the news media, and I stay current locally and internationally.)解析：四、BSpeaking Questi(总题数：1，分数：20.00)3
10、.Please listen carefully.（分数：20.00）_正确答案：(The woman supports the universitys decision to change the breakfast menu at the student cafeteria and get rid of the hot foods. For one thing, she points out that the changes will make it cheaper to eat there. She says that the man usually spends over $10 on
11、 eggs and sausages and other hot foods. She thinks hell save a lot when the cafeteria only offers cold foods. Also, she supports the change because she thinks it will be healthier. She believes the hot foods the man usually eats are too fatty. By eating more nutritious cold foods, she thinks hell fe
12、el better and have more energy.)解析：听力原文 M: Oh great. It looks like I wont be able to get eggs and sausages in the morning anymore. Why do they have to go and change the cafeteria menu like that? W: You saw what the announcement saidthe cafeteria food is going to be cheaper now. I see you go in there
13、 every day, and you must spend at least $10 on breakfast. Youll be able to save heaps by just getting some fruits and cereals instead. M: Thats true, but Im still not convinced. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I need to eat something substantial in the morning to get me through the
14、day. W: Has it ever occurred to you that you might want to eat something healthier in the morning? You always load up your plate with fried eggs, bacon and sausage! M: Yeah, so what? Whats wrong with that? W: Its not good for you! You always complain that you feel tired and cant concentrate in the a
15、fternoon, and Im sure thats because you eat fatty foods for breakfast. Youll feel much better if you eat the cold foods at the cafeteria. Theyre much more nutritious.五、BSpeaking Questi(总题数：1，分数：20.00)4.Read a short passage and then listen to part of a lecture on the same topic.Now listen to part of
16、a lecture in a biology class. The professor is talking about insects.（分数：20.00）_正确答案：(Insects are arthropods with a three-part body structurea head, a thorax, and an abdomen. The head has a pair of eyes and a pair of antennae, and three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings are usually attached to th
17、e thorax. Now, although a spider is also an arthropod, it isnt considered an insect, uh, because, um, because it only has a two-part body structure. The head and the thorax are joined together on a spider and attached to its abdomen by a thin stem. And a spider doesnt have antennae but it does have
18、four pairs of eyes. Instead of six legs, it has eight, hairy legs that are used kind of like an insect uses its antennae to explore the environment. A spider doesnt have wings. It has a unique glandular system that allows it to spin its webs. So, because of this very different body structure, a spid
19、er is not really an insect.)解析：听力原文 Strictly speaking, a spider is not an insect. True, it is an invertebrate and an arthropod, but it belongs to a class identified as arachnids. Arachnids are not included in the insect world because their body structure is very different. The bodies of spiders are
20、divided into two partsthe.a head with a fused thorax, which is all one structure, and the second part is a separate abdomen joined to the large head-thorax part by a narrow stalk. The head contains what many researchers now believe is a highly developed brain. There are no antennae, but four pairs o
21、f eyes and eight legs covered with fine, sensitive hairs more than compensate for the absence of the antennae. These hairy legs and feet explore the environment sending sensory messages back to the brain. Okay.the abdomen remember thats the second part of the spiderit includes not only the digestive
22、 and reproductive systems but also the silk glands that allow spiders to spin their webs. So, as you see, even though spiders and insects are commonly grouped together as bugs, they are really not the same. An oversimplification is that spiders have too many legs and not enough wings. In reality, th
23、e entire body structure is quite different.六、BSpeaking Questi(总题数：1，分数：20.00)5.In this question, you will listen to a conversation.

After you hear the question, you have 20 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.（分数：20.00）_正确答案：(The mans problem is that he is concerned about his grade for his geology course, but he does not have enough time to study because he has
25、 to work more hours at his job. The woman suggests that he get a tutor. The woman suggests that he quit his job or look for a different job. The woman suggests that he drop the geology course and take it again next quarter.)解析：听力原文 W: Hi, Jim. Hows it going this quarter? M: Well, to be honest, not v
26、ery well. I just got my geology test back and Im afraid my grade was not good. Im disappointed, too, because I like the professor and the class. W: Oh. Well, would it help if you got a tutor? M: I dont know. The main problem is that I dont have enough time to study. My boss has asked me to work more
27、 hours at my job, and that leaves me less time for geology. W: Oh, I see. Well, what if you quit your job? M: I cant afford to do that. W: But maybe you could look for a different job, here on campus. The campus jobs are posted in the Career Center. M: Well, maybe.if I could find a job that pays as
28、well as the one I have. I just wish I had more time to study. I need to pass my geology course. W: You know.you could drop the class now and take it again next quarter. You already have the textbook, and you could read ahead on your own. M: Well, I need to do something fast because I cant fail the c
29、ourse.七、BSpeaking Questi(总题数：1，分数：20.00)6.Now listen to part of a lecture in a sociology class. The professor is discussing the criteria for using older research references.（分数：20.00）_正确答案：(According to the lecturer, there are two major criteria for using an older research reference. First, she ment
30、ions, and Im quoting here, the “potential for change.“ For example, research on diet may be too old after thirty years because many changes have occurred in dietary practices during that time, but research on language development may be okay because fewer changes have taken place in language acquisi
31、tion in the same number of years. The other criteria requires that you first identify the research as a conclusion or an opinion. Because, uh, in general, a conclusion may be outdated when a newer study is published, but an opinion credited to a person with the date of the opinion in the citation, u
32、m, thats correct over time. In other words, theres no exact number of years to decide whether a reference is acceptable so the date isnt as significant as the criteria. So, an older study can be used if changes in the research havent taken place or if the results are worded as opinions with the date
33、s cited.)解析：听力原文 Well, first of all, you have to understand that theres no hard and fast rule for deciding when a research reference is too old. But that doesnt help you much. So, Ill try to give you a couple of guidelines, and then youll just have to use good judgement. Okay, lets just say for our
34、purposes, that the research is thirty years old. Then the next thing to think about is whether any changes have occurred in society to call the data into question. For example, in a study that looks at diet, we know logically that many changes have occurred in eating patterns over the past thirty ye
35、ars, so this study would probably be outdated. But a study of, say, uh, language development may be okay because the way that babies learn their native language hasnt changed much in the same period of time. So, what Im saying is.the date is less important than the potential for change. Okay, then t
36、he second criteria to consider is whether the citation is a finding or an opinion. If you have a study that indicates, uh, for example, that college students are drinking more, thats a finding, but if you have a statement by the researcher that drinking is the most serious problem on campus, then yo
37、u have an opinion. And opinions are accurate over the years as long as theyre attributed to the person and the date is cited. But the finding for an older study may be too old. In that case, its probably better to use a more recent study. Using the main points and examples from the lecture, describe the two criteria for using an older research reference presented by the professor.
