First of all, he thinks its a good idea because its cheaper. Apparently, theres barely any
10、 room left for new books or journals in the library. If the school buys more books, theyll need to build a new facility and it will be expensive. Furthermore, the online system will be more convenient for students when theyre studying. Instead of having to go to the library, students will be able to
11、 do all their research online from home or on their laptops.)解析：听力原文 W: Whats this? The university is going to be investing mainly in online resources, not books or other materials?

There are multiple factors such as genetic features, environmental conditions, health, various events in ones life and the person
18、s way of thinking that impacts their reaction to such events. According to research, depression runs in families and some say there are depression-causing genes that are passed down. Yet, not every person with a depression-prone gene develops depression. Therefore, the genetic factor can be a reason
19、, but they do not cause all cases of depression. Among various factors contributing to the onset of depression, lets take the example of events a person experiences in the course of life. Death of a close family member or a friend can give a person excessive grief and lead to depression. Ones family

24、5.In this question, you will listen to a conversation. You will then be asked to talk about the information in the conversation and to give your opinion about the ideas presented.

29、what you want to do with your life. M: My father wont be happy about that. W: How do you know? Talk to him. Tell him why the population project excites you.

The professor is discussing caverns.（分数：20.00）_正确答案：(The rock formations in caverns are made up of water thats saturated with dissolved minerals. As th
31、ey drip and deposit themselves in the cave, youll notice some of them hang from the ceiling and some of them grow up from the floor. The terms for each of these deposits are so similar that the professor suggests some tricks to help keep them straight. Stalactite has the letter t in it, which remind
32、s students of a tail that hangs down.but stalagmite has the letter m in it, which brings to mind two points that stick up. He also points out that stalactite has a c in it, like the word ceiling, and stalactites drip down from the ceiling, but stalagmite has a g in it, like the word ground, and stal
33、agmites grow up from the ground. So.so these, uh, memory aids.they help us recall that stalactites are the rock formations that grow down from the cavern and stalagmites are the ones that grow up from the floor.)解析：听力原文 Okay, as youll recall, caves form in limestone when acidic groundwater follows s
34、ome kind of weakness in the rocks. Now the rock formations in a cavern.thats the technical name that we use for a cave.the rock formations there are of two kinds.stalactites and stalagmites. Both of these formations are water that contains dissolved minerals that.that accumulate and build deposits.
35、But stalactites hang down from the ceiling of the cavern, and stalagmites protrude up from the floor of the cavern. Well, these words sound a lot alike, and this can be confusing, so I always tell my students to remember that there is a t in stalactites, and the t has a tail that hangs down just lik
36、e the stalactites that hang down from the ceiling of the cave, but there is an m in stalagmites and the points on an m stick up like the stalagmites that protrude up from the ground in a cave. And if that doesnt work for you, another way to remember the difference is that stalactite has a c in it, and so does the word ceiling, whereas stalagmite has a g in it, and so does the word ground. So stalactites drip down from the ceiling and stalagmites build up from the ground. So with these little tricks for remembering the difference, I expect you all to get this right on the next quiz.
