16、（分数：20.00）_正确答案：(The professor talks about the different types of nonverbal communication, and what they mean. First, he says that nonverbal signals can reinforce what someone is saying. The way people do this is by making direct eye contact, having strong body language, and using an even tone of vo
17、ice. For instance, when you ask your friend out to lunch, and she looks at you and says “yes“ in a clear voice, then she really wants to come. On the other hand, nonverbal signals can also contradict the message. In this case, people often avoid eye contact, or have weak body language, or sound uncl
18、ear. If your friend replies like this to a lunch invitation, it means she probably doesnt want to come. Even if she says “yes“, she isnt being sincere.)解析：听力原文 So, there are all kinds of ways we can communicate meaning nonverbally. Like the reading said, eye contact is one of these signals. Staring
19、intently at someone can make them feel that youre angry or upset with them.but, if you look away too often, it might be interpreted as boredom or lack of interest on your part. And the way you carry your body is another major nonverbal signal. Traditionally, slumped-over posture indicates fatigue or
20、 a negative attitude about whats being discussed. And lets not forget tone of voice. The same words can have very different meanings depending on whether you say them sarcastically, loudly, jokingly.Lets come up with a quick example to illustrate this idea of nonverbal signals. Say. you run into a f

On the other hand.maybe before they answer they look down at the floor, or kind of
22、 slump their shoulders and then mutter something. No matter what words they use, you can interpret that they dont like the idea. In this case, its not really what they say, but how they say it, right?六、BSpeaking Questi(总题数：1，分数：20.00)5.Now listen to a short conversation between a student and his fri

The other possibility that his friend mentions is for him to attend another section of the same class on Thursday night, but he isnt sure that the professor will give the same lecture. To find out, h
25、e would have to ask the professor. In my opinion, the man should stay for his economics class and take notes. Its hard to read someone elses notes, and besides, if hes in the class, he can ask questions. If he wants to visit his family, he should try to find a ride on Saturday or on Friday after the

31、go. In the case of the mammoth, the professor shows how the warmer and wetter climate led to its extinction. The warmer and wetter conditions meant that trees could spread northwards, to where mammoths lived. These trees then took over and killed the smaller plants that mammoths ate, so then the mam
32、moths also died because there was nothing left for them to eat. The other example she talks about is the mastodon, which also became extinct after the climate changed. The professor says that because the weather was warmer, the mastodons habitat shrunk. The animals couldnt get enough to eat, so they
33、 started to die out as well.)解析：听力原文 During the Late Pleistocene stage of Earths history, there was a period of mass extinctions that resulted in the loss of two thirds of all the large mammals on the planet. Animals like mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and mastodons disappeared during this extinction
34、 event. Now the cause of the Late Pleistocene extinctions isnt known for certain., but some scientists are convinced that global climate change was primarily responsible. Between 18,000 and 15,000 years ago, climbing global temperatures may have initiated a period of mass extinctions. A researcher a
35、t the University of Alaska at Fairbanks says that the increase in moisture and the warmer temperatures caused many plant species to spread farther north, where mammoths primarily lived. You might think this was a good thing, since it would have given them a larger food supply. But what really happen
36、ed was that the milder climate allowed trees to grow farther north too. And these trees out-competed the smaller plants that the mammoths ate. So their food supply quickly vanished, and with nothing to eat, the species vanished too. Theres a paleontologist with the Denver Museum of Nature and Scienc
37、e who claims that the changing climate had a similar effect on mastodons. When the climate warmed up, the savannahs and the forests that mastodons lived in became less diverse. Not only that, they began to shrink. Of course, as that happened, mastodon populations themselves began to shrink too. You know, the mastodons couldnt find enough food or shelter to survive. Eventually, they totally died out, and all were left with now are fossils.
