1.3 PART C

Welcome to Physiology 100. I'm Doctor Ann Roberts. I assume everyone here is a sophomore, since this is the Nursing Department second-year physiology course. If you are rst-year nursing students, please see me after class about transferring into introductory course. Okay, I'd like to begin my rst lecture by introducing two important terms, vitalism versus mechanism. How many of you have heard of these terms? Oh, I see some of you have. Well, vitalism and mechanism are two completely opposite approaches to human physiology. According to the vitalist, the laws of physics and chemistry alone can not explain the processes of life. To the vitalist, there is a so-called vital force, and this vital force is totally separate from that of energy. As you may have guessed, vitalism is a kind of philosophical approach. Mechanism, on the other hand, is the view that all life phenomena, no matter how complex, can be explained according to chemical and physical laws. Since we can support mechanism through scienti c experimentation, the modern scientist tends to be a mechanist. But vitalism is not totally dismissed, especially in elds such as brain physiology, where terms such as human consciousness haven't been de ned yet in physic-chemical terms. I recently read an interesting article dealt with this very question. Is the mind separate from brain, or is the mind only the chemical and physiological workings of the brain? I'd like to continue with this next time, so that we can speak in more detail. I have some copies of that article. And I want you to take it with you and read it for next week. 36. For whom is the lecture intended? 37. When is this lecture given? 38. How would a vitalist view the functions of the mind? 39. What does the professor tell her students to do? W: Art Department, the treasurer Brown speaking.

M: Hello, Professor Brown, my name is Frak Meloy. I'm thinking of taking your course in acrylic painting, and I'm calling to nd more about it. W: Have you ever worked with acrylic paints? M: I've done very little painting at all. I'm a chemistry major, but I enjoy drawing and the course description says that any student can sign up. I assume that means that experience in painting isn't necessary. W: Yes, that's right. We'll be using acrylic paints instead of oils because they are easier to handle and dry more quickly. Also, beginning students can get a good feel for what they can do with textures by working with acrylic paints. M: My roommate is also a chemistry major but he has painted quite a bit. If he signed up for the course, would he nd it too easy? W: No, he could work on using techniques he already knows and applying them to principles of composition, color and design. There's something for everyone in this course. M: One more question: Do we need to bring our own brushes and paints to class? W: Yes, you can buy them at the bookstore. I'll provide drawing board and any other supplies that's necessary. I hope you decide to join us. M: It sounds interesting, I'll de nitely register today. W: Fine. See you next Monday afternoon, Don't forget your brushes and paints. 40. Who's the man? 41. What does the man want to nd out? 42. According to the woman, what is one main advantage of the acrylic paints? 43. According to the woman, what can beginning painters do with the acrylic paints 44. What night the man's roommate do in the course? 45. What will the man do before the end of the day? Now I 'd like to talk to you about the nal exam. The exam will be held next Thursday, the last day of the exam week. Remember to bring along two or three pens in case you run out of ink. Unlike the midterm, this test will not include multiple-choice questions. It'll consist entirely of essays. You'll have to answer three of the ve essay- questions. The exam will be comprehensive, which means you'll be responsible for all of the subject matter we've covered in class. I would suggest you review your mid-term's as well as the text book and your class notes, The nal will count for 50 46. When will the exam take place? 47. What should the students bring with them to the exam? 48. What will be format of the exam?

2.3 PART C

Hi, I'm Roris Rily, and I'm the president of the college environmental awareness Club. Before we get started, I'd like to thank everyone for coming down to the lake today to help with the cleaning up project. As you probably know, we're going to be cleaning up all of the garbage here at the lake area. We'll begin by dividing into two ten-person teams, one team will pick up litter in the picnic are and jogging trail, and one will dig out garbage found in the shallow waters of the lake itself. We'll be putting the litter in these plastic trash bags. Toss any aluminum cans you nd into these boxes, and we'll take them to the recycling center later. A local business has donated these "Do Not Litter" signs to the club. So we'll need a couple of people to place them around the lake when we are through. Ok, everyone who wants to clean up around picnic tables and along the jogging path, raise your hands. 36. How will the club members work to clean up the area? 37. Where will the club members put litter? 38. What will the club members do with the aluminum cans? 39. Where will the club members put up the "Do Not Litter" signs? W: David, you play the cello, don't you? M: I did it for about six years. But I haven't practiced much since I came to college. Why do you ask? W: I'm, signing up for a non-credit string ensemble course that meets once a week on Wednesday night. We have several violist, violas and two bass players, but only on cello. M: Who's directing the group? W: Janit Hanson. Maybe you've heard of her. She plays violin in the city orchestra, and she also directs three other small local music groups.

M: Mh, I have my cello here, but I think I would need to do a lot of work before my playing would sound any good at all. W: Miss Hanson will give individual instruction as well as teach us as a group. There are only ten of us now. Try to join us. We are all on the intermediate level. And anyway you won't get a grade for the course. M: I'll tell you what. I'll play a little this evening and see how it goes. W: I'm sure you'll be ne, I'll expect to see you at seven o'clock tomorrow in room 14 at the ne arts building. I hope you can come to our regular meeting. 40. Why does the woman want David to sign up for the course? 41. Why is David not sure that he wants to sign up? 42. How often will the group meet? 43. What instrument does the director of the group play in the city orchestra? 44. What is the level of musical pro ciency of the most of the group members? 45. What will David do this evening? Today, I'll be talking about the invention of the camera and photography. The camera if often thought to be a modern invention. But as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkened silver salt, a chemical compound. Using as a camera, a big box with a small hole to let the light in, he made temporary images on the salt. Silver salt is still the base of lm today. Then a French scientist made the rst permanent picture by using a special piece of metal sensitized with silver salt. A photography he made in 1826 still exists. The painter Dagera improved on the process by placing common. Salt, the kind we eat, on the metal. This was in 1839, the o cial date of the beginning of photography. But the problem was the printing of the photographs. And it wasn't until other scientists developed the kind of paper we now use that good printing was possible and photography became truly modern. In 1860's, Matthew Brady was able to take his famous pictures of the American Civil War, thus making portrait poses very popular. In the 20th century, George Eastman of the United States simpli ed lm developing, and Edwards Land invented the so-called instant camera with self-developing lm. If we say that the photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it has taken more than one hundred years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical re nement. 46. What discovery was the basis of photography? 47. How was the rst prominent picture made? 48. What does the speaker regard as the o cial date of the beginning of photography? 49. According to the speaker, why was Matthew Brady remembered today? 50. What did Doctor Edwards Land invent?

41-45 Your assignment this trem will be to write two major research papers.One of the most important things about writing a research paper is gibing proper credit for your sources of imformatior.Failure to do this is called piagiarism,which is a form of intellectural dishonesty.Plagiansm is a kind of stealing, or at least an unauthorised borrowing of someone else's ideas.Sometimes inexperience students will plagiarize unitentionally,and then be surprised when the teacher won't accept their papers or give them a failing grade.The best way to avoid unintentional plagiarizing is to be very careful in gathering your information.As you take notes on books or magazine articles about the topic you'veselected.First,try to assimilate the information thoroughly Secondly,Write if down in yur own words.This is called paraphrasing.If you do a good job of paraphrasing you'll capture the main idea from your sources without actually using any phrases from it.Most of your notes should probably be paraphrases however,occassionally,you may nd something you wish to quote directly in yourresearch paper.In this case,be sure that you copy the quotation pricisely in your notes and enclose it in quotation marks That way,when you are nalizing your research paper,you'll be able to remember which of your notes are direct quotes,and which are yur own summary of the material.You can learn to incorporate them appropriately and give the origina authorproper credit. 41.What kind of assignment does the speaker discuss with the students? 42.What dows the speaker warn the students against doing? 43.Whom does the speaker mention as likely plagiarizers? 44.According to the speaker,how should most of the notes be taken? 45.How does the speaker say a direct quotation should be used? 46-50 W:Jim,thank goodness,you've arrived,The class presentation started half an hour ago and I was just beginning to panic.

M:Precisely,and because it's natural protein,it probably wouldn't be harmful to people like so many synthetic glue in use today.

36-39 Hello,I'm Judy Handison.Before we start our rst lab, I'd like to tell you a little bit about the workbook you'll be using.The rst thing I'd like to point out is that the workbook contains a very large amount of material,far more than you could ever handle in a single semester.What you're supposed to do is to choose the experiments and ctivities you want to do,within a certain framework of course,Part of my job is to help you make your choices.Next,I'd like to mention that in each workbook chapter,there are usual two subsections,The rst if called experiment,and the second is called activity.In the experiment section,the workbook is full of inftructions for all the experiments including alternative procedures.You may use the procedure your wish on the basis of available equipment of personal preference.In the activity section,you will nd suggestions for many experiments ,exercises and projects that you can do on your own time.You'll see that there are usually no detailed instructions for the activities.You're supposed to do them yur own way.Okay,let's turn to chapter one now. 36.What is the instructor describing? 37.What is the main idea of the talk? 38.How are the activities di erent from the experiments? 39.When would this talk be given? 40-45 M:You are my campaign manager,July,how do I convince members of the student body that I am the best candidate for school president?

W:It won't be easy M:Thanks a lot. W:I'm just kidding,Bob,Actually I think once we show everyone how well you did as Junior class treasurer,you will win easily. M:How do we do that?Meet with all three thousand people who are members of the student body? W:Come on,what I'm thinking of rst is hanging campaign posters in all the hallways,for most students are sure to see them. M:That sounds good.but everyone puts up posters.What can we do that's di erent? W:The campus radio station is willing to let you have ve minutes tommorrow morning at seven o'clock to outline your plans for the year.Lots of students will be listening then. M:That is a great idea. W:I've also arranged for you to give a speech during dinner tomorrow.At least ve hundrend of the students will be there.You will answer questions after you nish speaking. M:That means I'd better come up with a speech pretty quickly.How about if I write it tonight and show it ot you after chemistry class tomorrow? W:Fine,I'll see you after class.

36-40 W:Have you ever lookedreally closely at the snow ake? M:Sure,but they usually melt too fast for me to get a close look.Why do you ask? W:I'm just curious.I was reading an article about the formation of snow akes,and I realized that I had never paid much attention to them before. M:Wll there is a big variety,isn't there? W:Yea,but they all have one of the three basic forms hexagona!columns,this hexagonal plates and the balnching star-shaped form. M:I wonder why are forms di erent,maybe because ice starts to form on dus particles with di erent shape. W:Well I thouht it might have something to do with the water saturation of the air.but we're both wrong,The author of this articale did extensive research and concluded that the shapes of snow crystals largely controlied by the temperature of the air.For example,the featherly starshaped snow ake that everyone thinks is typical occurs only at a speci c temparature. N:Doesn't the relative humdity has anything to do with the shapes? W:Apparently not.The a ect of super saturation is simply to alter the growth rate.The greater the saturation,the faster the snow akes form. M:Wh,next time when it snows,I'll make a point fo taking a close look.

Next Saturday tour will be a relatively easy one,from RectersUniversity to the gate of National Park.Interested cyclists should meet at eight a.m. in the parking lot at the corner of Hamilton Street and Coliege Acenue in New Branderswick.The minimum time of this tour is about six hours.We'll use a buddy system throughour the ride.Each nes rider should team up with a more experienced rider.If the puddles look after each other,we can be sure that no one will be left behind on the back road.You can pick up a map of Sautrday's tour at the information table before you leave this evening. 41.What is the purpose of this talk? 42.According to the speaker,waht makes New Jersey a good place to bicycle? 43.Whay does the speaker mention the historical sites? 44.What will some of the listeners probably do on Saturday? 45.What is the purpose of the buddy system? 46-50 W:Hi,Tom.

W:Not exactly,I spent most of my time underwater. M:I don't understand. W:I was on a special eld trip.I went with my marine biology class.

W:You might say so,the sea is full of treasures,all kinds of strange fascination organisms.Our class concentrated on studying plankton. M:I thoutht planktons are too small to be seen. W:That's a common misconception.The term Plankton couvers a wide variety of freely oating plants and animals from microscopoc one-celled organism to large ones such as the common jelly sh. M:Jelly sh maybe large enough to be seen,but they are transparent,aren't they? W:Yes,most planktons have transparent tissues as a protective camou age,It makes them practically invisible to predators. M:But not invisible to your bioloby class,I hope. W:By concentrating,Iwas able to see the outlines of lots of di erent planktonis plants and animals.In fact,our professor even took photographs of Greeber Quadata,which are small oceanic snails. M:How could the snails show up in the photograghs if they are transparent. W:We squirted GreeberQuadata with a harmless green day.Since particles of the day stuck to their tissues,the snails appeared in green outline in the photograph. M:That sound like a interesting trip.But I think if I'd been in Florida in Feburay,I'd much rather spend my time just swimming and lying in the sun. 46.How did Judy spend most of her time in Folride? 47.What was Tom doing in Feburary? 48.What kind of class went on the eld trip? 49.Acording to Judy,What did her professor photograph? 50.Why is it hard to see most planktons?

Several of you have spoken to me about the possibility of make-up labs so that you can complete laboratory work you've missed for one reason or another during the course of the semester.Since this is our last week of class,any such make-up work would have to be done this week.I'm sure you are aware that on-third of your nal grade is based on your lab work,So any missing work will vertainly a ect your nal grade.I've decided to open the lab for three evenings this week.The lab will be open tonight,tomorrow night and Wednesday night from sisx to ten.I'll be there to assist you with materials and equipment.Since your lab notebooks for the semester are due on Thursday,the rst three nights of this week will be your last opportunity to make up incomplete work. 41.Who is th speaker? 42.What is the speaket's main point? 43.At what point in the semester is the talk given? 44.How much of the nal grade is based on lab work? 45.On what day of the week is this talk probably given? 46-50 M:Welcome back.I didn't see you in calculus calss on Friday.

W:No,not really.It gets hot during the day,but it cools o very quickly at night.There is no moisture in the air to hold the heat after the sun goes down.If it were humid,it would stay hot all night.

10.3 PART C

Good morning,students,the school bulletin lists this course as a required writing courrse r second-years students.This does nto mean the rst-year or third-year students may not take it.What it means is that those of you who have never learned how to write a research paper ought to be here,and those of you who already know how shouldleave immediately and sign up for another Enlish course.I hope to cover the entire process of writing a researel paper from selecting a topic to putting together the nal former and presentation.I'll be here to help you every step of the way.But it is your responsibilty to hand in each assignment or time.Your nal grade will be the grade yu receive on your paper. 36.Who was the speaker? 37.For whom is the course intended? 38.What does the speaker ask the students to do who have already learned to write a research paper? Question 39-42 M:Did you know that astronauts have made commercial products in space? W:No,I wasn't aware of that.What kind of products? M:Tiny plastic beads. W:Beads?Do you mean to tell me that astronauts have nothing better to do than make jewelry beads in space?I seems to me they could make more useful things out there. M:Oh,but these beads aren't for jewely.They can be used for many scienti c purposes,from conducting cancer research to calibrating microscopes. W:That sounds better,But why make such objects in space rather than on earth?

56

M:Because earth gravitational pull a ects the beads.The beads produced on earth are distorted,not exactly round.The ones made in space are precise spheres. 39.What are the speakers mainly discussing? 40.According to the conversation,what is the likely use for thebeads? 41.According to the man,why did astronauts make the beads in space? 42.What material were the beads made of? Question 43-46 Today,I would like to begin by discussing early European settlement along one of our well-known rivers,the Hudson,which empties into the Atlantic to form New York bay.The Hudson river has a couple of interesting physical features that made it very attactive for settlement by the Europeans.The rst is that the river extends inland from the Atlantic Ocean for more than 150 miles with no waterfalls or rapids,Its surface is virtually at for that entire distance,with to obstacles.Secound,the whole 150-mile stretch is infuenced by tides from the Atlantic Ocean.Roughly every six hours the river reverses direction. woing north when the tide is rising and south toward the ocean when the tide is going down.Obviously there were no obstacles to prevent settles from moving farther upstream on the Hudson river,and this explains why the Dutch penetrated so far inland.They were the rst Europeans to settle in the Hudson valley.Of course,to go upsteeam,the Dutch settlers needed the right kind of boat,and so to navigate the reiver,they design a soon with only one mast but with two salls,one rigged in front of the mast and on behind,The mast was very tall,in many cases over 100 feet tall so that the large salls could catch winds blowing above the shore line hills.Hudson river sloops carried passengers and cargo.The cargo ranging form coal,lumber and hay to fruit,vegetables and livestock.Travelling onlly ten milles an hour in a good wind,the sloop was not too speedy by modern standards,but it was ideally suited to the Dutch settlement,and in fact when the steam boat eventually was introduced,it couldn't keep up with the sloop. 43.What attracted the Europeans to the Hudson river area? 44.What is the characteristic of the rst 150 miles inland on the Huadon river? 45.How do tides form the Atlantic Ocean in uence the Hudson river? 46.Accourding to the speaker,why did Hudson river sloops have tell masts? Question 47-50 M:Hello W:Hello,this is Susan Wilson.May I speak to Greg Robinson please? M:Hi,Susan,it's Greg,What can I do for you? W:Well,I'm calling about the theater group I belong to,the PRinceton Players,we are looking for more people to join us,expecially men and I thought you might be interested.

M:Oh,gosh,you know how much I love acting,but I'm taking some very hard courses,I might be able to learn my part,but I would hardly have time to come to tine rehearsals. W:Well actuallymwe rehearse only one night a week,thursdays from seven to ten,though we would have to put in extra time before performance. M:Only once a week you say,Well could you give me time to think it over? W:Sure,but look,why don't you come and watch our rehearsal next Thursday?I think you will like the way we work,When you see how much fun it is,you will join right away. M:Okay,I'll come to a rehearsal,but I can't promise more than that, W:Great.I'll give you a call on Wednesday to remind you Talk to you then,bye now. M:Bye Susan. 47.Whay does Suan think Greg might be interested in the theater group? 48.How often does the group rehearse? 49.Whay does Greg ask for time to think about whether be will join the group? 50.What does Suan expect Greg to do?

Questions 36-39 M: Do you know what happened to me today? I was so embarrassed. W: What? M: Well, Doctor Brown's class nished ten minutes early, so I went to the library between classes. I know I didn't have much time, but I wanted to get those books on industrial revolution. I looked them up in the card catalog and went right to the stacks and found them. So I put them in my book-bag and headed back toward the door. Then it happened. The exit gate in front of the door wouldn't open and a guard immediately warned me that I hadn't checked out my books. He thought I was trying to steal them. W: That must have been embarrassing. Then why didn't the exit gate open? M: I asked him that. It seems that the books in the library are all magnetically coded and when you check them out, the librarian behind the desk demagnetizes them, then the exit gate will open. W: How interesting. I still don't quite understand how they do it though. I'll have to go to the library and see it for myself. 36. Why did the man decide to go to the library? 37. After getting the books, what did the man do?

Questions 40-42 To play their music well, jazz musicians don't really need to know a lot about the rules of harmony and rhythm. Of course they might have a knowledge of both harmony and rhythm, but that kind of knowledge isn't what makes them good jazz musicians. What does make them good is having an intuitive feeling for how the music works. For artists in the medium of jazz, the music comes naturally. It ows almost spontaneously through them. Their music performance is not planned in advance. As they play, they don't monitor themselves in term of a formal theory of performance. As a result, jazz is a natural expression of moods and feelings of the artists, a moment by moment expression of the self. Now you are in for a treat. I brought some recordings of my favorite jazz artists. We'll spend some time listening to some examples of really good jazz. 40. What is the main purpose of the talk? 41. What does the speaker say as a distinctive characteristic of jazz musician? 42. What will the class do next? Questions 43-46 M: It's good to see you back. How was your trip to Arizona? Did you see the Great Canyon? W: Yes, it was fantastic. Now I know why it is listed together with the Nile river as one of the river as one of the great natural wonders of the world. Here, want to see the picture I took? M: Oh, what a view! It is even bigger than I had imagined. I remember reading about the Great Canyon and I think it said that it was formed suddenly when the earth crust split open during an earthquake. W: Well, not that quickly. Look, here is the picture of the Colorado river. See way down at the bottom of the canyon, that river and its tributaries have been wearing the canyon oor away for ten million years. M: Then the canyon is the result of soil erosion. I'll bet geologists have made some interesting discoveries there. W: Not only the geologists, archaeologists have also found the bones of extinct animals in caves in the canyon walls. In a cave one hundred and forty feet about the river, they found drift wood that dated back as far as thirty seven thousand years. M: That means the river must have been a hundred and forty feet higher up when it carried the drift wood into the cave. W: It's very possible, but of course who knows. The Great Canyon is full of mysteries. Wouldn't you like to go to Arizona some day?

Question 47-50 Good morning listeners, welcome once again to the WCHB series listen and learn, with the approach of summer, you may have noticed trees in your area blossoming and their fruit ripening. But have you ever wondered how fruit ripens? Especially after it has fallen from the tree or vine? The answer is relatively simple. A single chemical called ethylene is produced by the fruit itself and it is this chemical that causes the fruit to ripen. When the fruit produces increased amount of ethylene, the ethylene a ects the fruit physiologically, the fruit begins to breathe oxygen, and the oxygen supply in turn raises the internal temperature of the fruit. This increase in internal temperature allows ripening process to begin, with fruit becoming sweeter, less green in color and softer, in short, delicious. Until our next broadcast, this is Jane Anderson wishing you a fruitful day. 47. What is the audience listening to? 48. What is the main topic of the talk? 49. What is the source of the ethylene described in the talk? 50. According to the speaker, when fruit breathes oxygen, what begins to happen?

I'm visiting all the dormitories this week to inform students about check-out procedures, I know you have a lot on your mind with nals coming up, but there are a few things you need to be aware of, as you prepare to leave for vacation. This dormitory will be closed during the summer months and will reopen on September rst. You must vacate your room by June third. Even if you're registered for classes during the summer, you must leave this dorm by June third. If this does pose a problem for you, you should contact my o ce as soon as possible. You should remember to turn in your room key before you leave. Failure to return your key can result in a 25-dollar ne. You must also make sure that all of your personal property has been cleared out of your room. I'll be passing out a form for you to ll out concerning the condition of your room, you should report on the form any damages to your room which has occurred over the last year, such as holes in the room's walls, doors or windows. That way, our summer maintenance crew will know where to make repairs before the next school year starts. If you have any questions during the next few days, please ask your residence advisors or call my o ce. Now please take one of the forms as tey are passed around. 36. What does the speaker mainly discuss? 37. When does this talk take place? 38. Before they leave their dorm rooms, what must students do? 39. What must students indicate on the forms?

M: It sounds like a lot, but by the time you add up the air fare, meals and lodging, it's pretty reasonable. W: But I doubt we'll all be able to go. Remember there are 32 people in the choir this year. M: We can make it. For our last trip, we got the alumni to make donations and the professor applied for a grant from the Association of Choral Directors. W: Did he put anyone is charge of fund raising? M: Russ. She took care of it last time. She'll probable be calling the choir members to work with her. W: I really hates soliciting donations, but it'll be worth it, this tour is a once-in-a-life-time experience. 40. What problem are the speakers discussing? 41. What will Russ probably have to do? 42. Why will Russ probably be calling the Choir members? Questions 43-46 Word comes from California of a new weapon in the war on household pests. Two scientists working for a rm in Annahine, California developed a new method to eliminate insects without using dangerous chemicals. The new poison: hot air. The basic idea is that insect pests can not adjust to temperatures much above normal. In laboratory experiments, cockroaches and termites can't survive much more than a quarter of an hour at 100 degrees. Ferenhite or about fty degrees Certigrade. The new method involves covering a house with a huge tent, and lling it with air heated to around 65 degrees Certigrade. Hot air is forced in with fans and the tent keeps the heat inside the house. Since termites must be continued for four to six hours. But when it's all over and the insects are dead, there is no toxic residues to endanger humans or pets, and no funny smells. Scientists claim that there's no danger of re either. Since very few household materials will burn at 65 degrees Certigrade. In fact, wood is prepared for construction use by drying in the ovens at 80 degrees Certigrade, which is substancially hotter. 43. What is the program about? 44. What makes the new system better than other treatments? 45. Why are the houses covered with tents? 46. Why does the announcer mention that construction wood is dried by heat? Question 47-50 M: Math Department, Doctor Webster speaking. W: Hello, Prof. Webster, this is Janet Hill calling, I'm living two doors down from your teaching assistant, Don Williams. Don asked me to call you because he has lost his voice and can't talk to you himself.

M: Lost his vice. Oh, what a shame! Is there anything I can do for him? W: Well, he has a class this afternoon from two-thirty to four and he won't be able to teach it, but he doesn't want to cancel it either. M: Want me to try to nd somebody else to teach the class? W: No, not exactly. What he wants to do is to get someone go in for him, just to pass back the mid-term exams. He's already marked tem and they are on the desk in his o ce. The whole thing wouldn't take more than ten minutes. M: His classes are two-thirty, eh? Well I'm afraid at that time I was going to be on campus anyway so I could do it for him. What room is his class in? W: Cader Hall, room two-fourteen. Will you need his o ce key to get the exams? He's given it to me and I could bring it to you. M: Actually, that won't be necessary. We have a master key in the maths department. So I can get into his o ce. W: Thank you very much, Prof. Webster. Don doesn't have another class to teach until Thursday, and hopefully, he will be able to talk by then. He'll call you as soon as he can. Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Could you put the next assignment on the board, too. It's all the problems on page forty- ve, and they are due at the next class. 47. What is Don's problem? 48. What favor does Don want someone to do for him? 49. What does Janet o er to do? 50. What does Janet almost forget to ask professor Webster?

Good afternoon! As you know, this is a course in beginning political theory. We'll be meeting each Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 8:00 clock for the next twelve weeks. Each Monday, I'll give a lecture on the di erent concept of political thought and I will talk about justice for example. On Wednesday, you'll have to hand in one-page paper on the topic, and as a group. We'll discuss the issues involved. On Thursday, I'll turn your paper with suggestions for a revision. Also on Thursday, we'll explore through lecture and discussion what prominent political thinkers had to say about the topic. Over the weekend, you'll revise your paper and hand it in on the following Monday. I'll grade only the revised. Keep your papers brief, because I'll accept on papers that exceed a single page. I'll be available on Tuesday and Friday afternoons to discuss your papers with you. Are there any questions? 40. What is the speaker's purpose in this talk? 41.

Whenever they seem dark and low like this, you know it's going to rain, or look at the object that's far away, if it seems clear to you, it's probably going to pour. M: Yes, and everything seems to have a stronger smell to me then. W: I know, and people often say it's going to rain when they have aches and pains in certain parts of their body. My mother always complains that her knee hurts just before a storm. M: And have you noticed how the animals react before a storm?

14.3 PART C

Today, I'd like to discuss about the rst known instance of a strange evolutionary strategy. This phenomenon occurs in the lowering plant called the scarlet jelly. The scarlet jelly depends on both hummingbirds and months for pollination, and the blossoms seem to change their color for each of these pollinators on rm mountain near Steven, Arizona, where these owers grow, hummingbirds arrive at mid-July to drink nectar from the scarlet jelly. In July, the owers are bright red, which is attractive to the hummingbirds. By late August, however, the hummingbirds leave the area for warmer climate. As the weather cools, the color of the plants blossoms change to white, a color that attracts a particular moth species, the night- ying hawk moths. Apparently, this kind of moths can see these white blossoms easily at night. These moths continue to pollinate the owers until well into September. The scarlet jelly demonstrates an unusual way in which a plant lures pollinators to continue its life cycle. 47. What is the main topic of the talk? 48. Why is the scarlet jelly, the plant, considered to be unusual? 49. Why did the hummingbirds leave the mountains? 50. According to the speaker, in that way a white blossom is attractive to moths?

of the technological, engineering, architecture, law and medicine. Second was the provision of graduate study, such as what had long existed in France and Germany. Harved and John Hopkins Universities quickly took the lead in this eld, but the state universities did not lag far behind. Third was the increased provision for the education of woman. This included the establishment of new woman's colleges, such as Vasa, Welisly and Smith, and the adaption of co-education, the provision for graduate study, and the increased opportunities for woman began over a century ago, continue to this day, well over then decades since the end of the civil war. 40.

W: Oh, yes. I know all about that job. I did it two years ago. M: Really? Did you like it? W: I think it was the best I've had at school. It paid eight dollars an hour, which was three dollars an hour more than I got working at the school post o ce the year before. M: That is a good salary. What did you do? W: I was in charge of grading all the problem sets that were assigned as homework. I never had trouble doing it, and of course, Prof. Jamason was always available to help me if I had any questions. M: I think I'd enjoy doing that sort of work. It would be very good experience for anyone thinking about becoming a teacher. W: Absolutely. You also learn how to use the computer data base, because the records are kept on it. And building up your computer skills is a good preparation for lots of jobs. M: The job sounds great, but I'm a little worried about how much time it might take? W: It's pretty reasonable. It never took me more than ve hours a week to do all the grading and then another thirty to fourty minutes to record the grades on the computer. M: That sounds manageable. I guess you can do the work when it ts into your own schedule, too, can't you? W: Oh, yah, you can do the grading in your room or in the library. You just need to get each set back for the next class, but that means you always have at least two days and sometimes four.

I certainly hope that most of you will soon feel right at home with our group and bicycling will become a regular hobby for you and a part of your physical tness routine. Some of you may not realize that the state of New Jersey o ers ample opportunities for bicyclists of all abilities. We have rolling countryside, miles of beaches, lovely hills and valleys and thousands of mile of little used roads. Beginners will nd the shore and area south of Princeton suitable for their needs while expert riders will discover that the steep trails of the region around High Point o er a challenge to their skill and stamina. In addition, New Jersey is rich in places of historical interest. The state abounds in colonial architecture, battle elds of the revolution and other historic sites important in the early history of this country, most carefully preserved or have been meticulously restored. We organized tours to a variety of places nearly every weekend. Next Saturday tour will be a relatively easy one, from Recters University to the gateway National Park. Interested cyclists should meet at eight a.m. in the parking lot at the corner of Hamiltom Street and College Avenue in New Branderswork. The minimum time of this tour is about six hours. We'll use a buddy system throughout the ride. Each new rider should team up with a more experienced rider. If the buddies look after each other, we can be sure that no one will be left behind on the back roads. You can pick up a map of Saturday's tour at the information table before you leave this evening. 47. What's the purpose of this talk? 48. According to the speaker, what makes New Jersey a good place to bicycle? 49. Why does the speaker mention the historical sites? 50. What is the purpose of the buddy system?

The silkworm gave people the idea of making rayon, a synthetic material that feels much like silk. Container De Shatiney was the scientist who nally succeeded in initaing silk commercially. Shatiney noticed that the silkworms digested mulberry leaves into liquid cellulose, and force the liquid out through tiny holes to form slender threads. He was unable to match the exact digestive chemistry of silkworms, but he tried desolving mulberry leaves in nitric acid to extract the cellulose, then imitated silkworms by forcing the mixture through tiny holes, Shatiney tried using trees as another source of cellulose, and nd the results were just as good. Since then rayon has replaced silk in many commercial enterprises. 40. What is the main topic of the talk? 41. What is Shatiney known for? 42. What especially interested Shatiney about silkworm? 43.

Questions 39-42, listen to a talk given to students about recycling trash. Thank you all for coming today to hear about the new recycling program on campus. Right now all recycling is voluntary, but in the near future it will be most likely mandatory. The recycling we've planned is really a 3-part program: sorting, collecting and distributing. The rst part, sorting, is the hardest to get people to do. Most people don't like to take the time to separate their trash. And this is usually where most recycling programs fail. However, we are determined to make ours work. Instead of seeing the usual brown trash cans all over the campus, from now on you'll see four di erent colors of trash cans. Pink thrash cans are for paper, green cans are for glass, maroon ones are for metal and white ones are for other wastes. Just remember, pink: paper green: glass maroon: metal white: waste. After the trash is sorted, they need to be collected and them distributed to the correct recycling facilities. That's where all of you come in. Since this program's still a volunteer program, we're asking our students to give a little of their time to the project, probably no more than 6 hours per person each week. And again, your job is to collect the sorted trash and take it to di erent centers for each type of trash. If you are willing to help us with the program by giving 6 hours a week, please write your name and phone number on this note pad. 39. What is the main purpose of the talk? 40. According to the speaker, why do most recycling programs fail? 41. What will be the color of the trash can for paper? 42. What will be the primary responsibilities of volunteers?

M: And you never know, it might lead to something with them after graduation. They are one of the biggest hotel chains in the area. W: You're right. But the drawback is I wouldn't be making nearly as much money as I would be working in the clothing store, not to mention the discount I could get on clothing there. M: How much is the internship paid? W: They pay their internship a small stipend and give them free room and board for the summer. M: Well, if I were you, I would take the internship anyway. You could always get a job during the school year next year to make a few extra bucks. 43. Why does Jenise want to talk to Larry? 44.

Questions 47-50, listen to a talk about cola avored soft drink. How many of you drink cola? Nearly everybody. Did you know that cola started out not as a soft drink but as a cure for headache back in the late 1800's? John S. Pamberton, a druggist from Atlanta, had experimented for many months trying to nd a cure for the common headache. The worked in his backyard, mixing and heating di erent combinations of oils and avors until he found one that seems promising. Pamberton bottled the mixture and began selling it in drugstores as a concentrated syrup that the customer had to mix with water before drinking. Cola's transformation from a concentrated syrup to a carbonated soft drink came about quite by accident. One day, a customer came into a drugstore complaining of a headache and asked for a bottle of cola syrup. He wanted to take it right away. So he asked the clerk to mix the medicine while he waited. The clerk, instead of walking to the other end of the counter to get plain water, suggested mixing the syrup with soda water. The customer agreed, and after drinking it, remarked how good it tasted. The clerk continued o ering the mixture and carbonated cola grew in popularity. Today carbonated cola are sold in most countries around the world. And although they no longer contain the ingredients to kill headaches, they are still very refreshing. 47. What does the speaker mainly discuss? 48. How was cola originally sold? 49. Why does the speaker mention John Pamberton? 50. How was cola syrup made into a soft drink?

Questions 39-43 Scientists believe that when the oceans were young, they contained only a trace of salt, and that the level of salinity has been going up gradually. Over the years, rains have been wearing away the rock mantle of the continent. Minerals released by these erosion have been carried to the sea by the ow of river water. This water adds several billions tons of salt to the ocean annually. There are other sources of oceanic salinity too, one source is underwater volcanic action. These eruptions occurred along the mid-ocean ridge and release great amount of salt into the sea each year. However, these sources don't increase the actual mineral composition of the water by much because the enormous chemical requirements of marine life. Oysters, clams, snails and other mollusk use salt to build shells and skeletons. Coral reefs also consume large amount of salt. Also, some salt leaves the ocean through the process of evaporation. As salts escape into the atmosphere, they go into the creation of rain drops, this is why the coast receives more salt exists in the atmosphere near the ocean, thereby attracting the increased moisture and producing rain. 39. What is the topic of this talk? 40. What does the speaker say about the ocean's level of saltiness? 41. What is one of the sources of the oceanic salinity mentioned? 42. Why does the speaker mention oysters and clams? 43. According to the speaker, why do coastal areas receive more rain than inland region?

In the local news this morning, the mountain-lake cycle tour is about to begin, and in the studio, we have with us Marilen O'conner, president of the Ottawa bicycle club, the tour's sponsor. Marilen, can you tell us what the tour's all about? W: Well, Alien, the mountain-lake cycle tour is a two-day bicycle four from Ottawa to Kingston and back. It is not a race, but more like an endurance test for recreational cyclists. People do it for tness and fun and try to better their time every year. M: How long will it take to cycle one-way, Marilen? W: About seven to nine hours for the average cyclists. Racers can do it in four hours. But I said, the tour is not intended to be a race. M: How many people will be taking part this year? W: This is our biggest year ever. We have twelve hundred cyclists registered. M: I bet they'll block the road when the cyclists start out? W: Don't worry, we've introduced the staggered starts to avoid these problems. Our rst group will leave Ottawa at seven o'clock, and other groups will follow every twenty minutes.

Good morning, class. Last time, we started to talk about some crops and traditions of early agriculture-based society. We had said that corn is one food that dominated the food-growing activities of those early American Indian tribes that relied on farming for food. The early farmers, or the American Indians, planted lots of varieties of corns, including the kind of corns that are eaten today as popcorn. The corn was prepared in di erent ways. It could be eaten fresh from the eld, sometimes it was boiled, sometimes the corn was roasted or patched, but most of the corn was dried on the card, and later it was ground into our. The advantage of this method is that the dried corn can be stored for long periods of time without spoiling. The American Indians harvested the corns twice, the rst harvest was the green corn or sweet corn harvest. This harvest was accompanied by a ceremony of thanksgiving. The farmers from disaster, and the ninal harvesting of the right corn and the harvest ceremony took place about six weeks later. During this harvesting, the farmers pulled back the husks of corn and braided them together. Big bundles were prepared this way and were dried for use later on throughout the dried husks to make all sorts of di erent things like mats, moccasins, dolls and ceremonial masks. 48. What is the main subject of this talk? 49. According to the speaker, how was most corn prepared? 50. After the farmers ate the corn from the second harvest, what did they do with the husks?

In addition to exercising regularly, eating a good breakfast is considered by many health experts to be a signi cant part of a successful way of reduction plan.

Several nutritionists suggest that dieters should eat up to one third of their daily calories at breakfast time. These calories should be in the form of balanced meal of nutritious food. A balanced meal consists of ve key elements: Proteins, Carbonhydrats, Fats Vitamins and Minerals, people who're dieting need a variety of foods to assure a constant supply of nutrients their bodies need. If a well-balanced diet is not followed, the dieter may become sleepy, nervous, or feel out of sorts. If a poor diet is maintained for a long period of time, the dieters may become vitamin de ciet vitamin de ciency can cause serious health problem.

M: Well, you didn't expect it to be warm, did you? W: Of cause not, but I just heard the national weather services prediction for the next 90 days. They said it's supposed to be much colder weather than usual. M: Yeah, maybe. Personally, I think those long-range forecasts are useless. W: Not as useless as you think. M: Oh, come on, when you're talking about what's going to happen three months later, you might as well just pick a forecast out of our hat. W: Well, you are half way right. They aren't very good for precipitation. But they are a lot better for temperatures especially for this time of the year. M: Really, so I should take them seriously about the cold but not count too much on a lot of extra snow? W: Ahha. M: But what did you say about this time of the year. Do some seasons really give them more problems in making forecast. W: Autumn is the worse, apparently weather patterns change so much then, just think how variable our weather has been the last three month. M: Come to think of it. That's true. It probably would have been hard to predict all those changes back in the summer. You know, you're beginning to convince me there is more to forecasting than I thought. How come you know so much about it? W: I get my information from an expert. My sister's a meteorologist. 43. On what aspect of weather forecasting does the conversation focus? 44.

Yeah. The guide mentioned that. You could see they spared no expense. Hm. It looked really unusual, at least from what I saw in the picture. It is. The basic design is two triangles. In fact there are triangles all over. The paving stones in the courtyard, the skylights and even a lot of the sculptures. One sculpture is a mobile. It's in the courtyard and it's made of pieces of aluminum that moves slowly in the air. It's really impressive. That was in the article too. It said that the original was steel and it weighed so much that it wasn't safe to hand. Right. They did it over in aluminum so it wouldn't come crashing down on someone's head. You know the article went into that in detail. There was even an interview with the sculptor. I'd like to read that. Would you mind if I borrow the magazine sometime? No. I wouldn't mind if I haven't thrown it out yet. 34. What did the woman think of the new wing of the museum? 35. How had the man learned about the museum? 36.

I will however be here for Monday's. Next Friday, a week from today, is the midterm exam, marking the half way point in the semester. Prof. Andrews has agreed to administer the exam. In place of the usual Wednesday's class, I've arranged an optional review session. Since it is optional, attendance will not be taken. However attending the class would be a good idea for those worried about the midterm. So remember: Optional class next Wednesday Midterm, Friday. 38. What is the purpose of the talk? 39. At what point during the semester does the talk take place? 40. What did Prof. Andrews agree to do? 41. What will occur at next Wednesday's class time? Question 42 to 46 Today's lecture we'll center on the prehistoric people of Nevada Desert. Now most of these prehistoric desert people moved across the countryside throughout the year. You might think that they're wandering aimlessly. Far from it, they actually followed the series of carefully planned moves.

Where they moved depended on where food was available. Places where plants were ripening or sh were spawning. Now often when these people moved, they carried all their possessions on their backs. But if the journey was long, extra food and tools were sometimes stored in caves or beneath rocks. One of these caves is now an exciting archaeological site. Beyond its small opening is a huge underground grotto. Even though the cave is very large, it was certainly two dark and dusty for the crawlers to live in. But it was a great place to hide things. And tremendous amounts of food supplies and artifacts have been found there. The food includes dried sh seeds and nuts. The artifacts include stone spear points and knives. The spar points are actually rather small. Here is a picture of some that were found. You can see their size in relation to the hands holding them. 42. What is the main subject of this talk? 43. What point does the speaker make about the prehistoric people of the Nevada Desert? 44. Why didn't the people live in the cave described by the speaker? 45. What have archaeologists found in the cave? 46. Why does the speaker show a photo to the class? Question 47 to 50 To us, the environment in which sh dwell often seems cold, dark and mysterious. But there are advantages to living in water. And they've played an important role in making sh what they are. One is that water isn't subject to sudden temperature changes. Therefore it makes an excellent habitat for a cold blooded animal. Another advantage is the water's ability to easily support body weight. Protoplasm has approximately the same density as water. So a sh in water is almost weightless. This weightlessness in turn means two things: 1) A sh can get along with a light weight and a simple bone structure. And 2) Limitations to a sh's size are practically removed. Yet there is one basic di culty to living in water the fact that it is incompressible. For a sh to move through water, it must actually shove it aside. Most can do this by wiggling back and forth in snakelike motion. The sh pushes water aside by the forward motion of its head and with a curve of its body and its exible tall. Next the water ows back along the sh's narrowing size, closing in at the tall and helping the sh propel itself forward. The fact that water is incompressible has literally shaped the development of sh. A at and angular shape can be moved through water only with di culty. And for this reason, sh have a basic shape that is beautifully adapted to deal with this peculiarity. 47. What is the talk mainly about? 48. What does the speaker mention as a problem that water presents to sh?

31-34 have you made any plans to go away during semester break? I've been thinking of skiing. I really haven't had time to think about my vacation. I've been concentrating on getting ready for my exams, especially Philosophy. But I'll probably go to the beach. Why the beach? Well. It would be mice to get away from this cold weather and just lie ine the sun and relax after working so hard. It's true that skiing does require work. And you have to get up early and wait in long lines for the chair lifts. Thanks. I think you help me make up my mind. Sure.

Where will the woman probably spend her vacation time? 34. What does the woman think the man should do? 35-38 Hello, Jim. I haven't seen you in a while. What seem to be the problem? Actually I'm a little embarrassed about coming here. I feel ne right now. but you know how much stu is going around. Andy way every year around the holidays like clockwork I come down with something. So you're interested in prevention. What symptoms do you usually get? You know, cough, fever, runny nose, my head and bones ache, chills even. I'm usually miserable for a week and it ends up ruining my holidays. Sounds like a typical u to me. As you said, lots of people have it in uence often strikes when people are over tried stressed out and not eating nutritious food. And also you increase your exposure to a virus when you're in big crowds where lots of people are coughing and sneezing.

I certainly spend a lot time in department stores around the holidays buying gifts for people. Yes. And so you increase your exposure to airborne viruses just when your body's resistance is already low from all the running around you do. So what can I do to ward o the u? Actually it's fairly simple. Get a lot of rest, eat well. That way your immune system will be boosted. And you'll be more able to ght o illness. All these things make sense. But one more question. Aren't I bound to get sick anyway if there's an outbreak in the dorm? Oh, you didn't mention you lived in the dormitory. In that case I'd also suggest you get immunized. The vaccine available prevents' the three main types of in uenza. Why don't you go to the university health center. The shots are free there. I'll do it right away. It will be nice to feel well during. The holidays for once. 35. Why did the man go to see his doctor? 36. How does the man describe his health problem? 37.

39 to 42 A lecture in a architectural design course. Dozens of valuable paintings and frescoes were badly damaged today when rain water poured through a roof at the state museum. As freak rainstorms lashed in the central and southern sections of the state, part of the museum's roof which was scheduled to be repaired collapsed and water cascaded into two storerooms. The museum director said that several well known pieces, including oils, watercolors and frescoes, had been damaged, although only one objects, a 19 century fresco was damaged beyond repair. She added that inspection for damages has not been completed and therefore she could not estimate costs of the repair and replacement. 39. What part of the museum ooded? 40. What was damaged? 41. What can not be restored? 42. What did the director say about the cost of damages? 43 to 46 welcome to the New Bedford institute's, series of lectures on the mysteries of the sea. You may have noticed the drawing on the cover of the program for today's presentation. It depicts a

120

sea creature that scientists have been interested in for many years. It is said that in the 19th century a group of shermen were surprised by seeing a huge squid that they said was as big as a house and had enormous tentacles. The shermen were frightened out of their wits according to reports from that time. The creature sank back into the ocean and was never seen again. Marine biologists believed that this species of giant squid called archituth is still exits. And is comes to represent how little we know about sea creatures. Compared with what we know about the animals on the land. We do know that there are many more di erent kinds of marine species than there are land species. But we just don't have the technology yet to do sustained research. Even short unmanned trips are so hard to accomplish. In fact researching in the deep oceans has been compared to ying an airplane overland throwing down a net and seeing what you get. In other words it's very hard to picture the whole situation when that's the way you have to get your samples. Most of what is known about deep sea creatures, which as I said is actually very little, comes from ocean beds that dried up long ago. We're fortunate to have a few samples of these fossil remains on display on the second oor. We'll take a look at them after a while. 43. Why were the shermen frightened of the squid? 44. What does the giant squid symbolize to biologists? 45. What does the airplane example illustrate about the deep sea research? 46. Where has most of the information about rare sea creatures been found? 47-50 With the introduction of radio, newspaper publishers wondered how broadcasting would a ect them. Many feared that radio as a quick and easy means of keeping people informed would displace the newspaper industry altogether. Others hoped that the brief newscast heard on the air would stimulate listeners interested in the story so they'd buy the paper to get more information. This second idea turned out to be closer to the truth. Radio & print were not substitutes for each other but actually supported each other. You see the relation ship between di erent media is not always one of displacement but can be one of reinforcement. However this is not always the case. Take television & motion pictures for example, with the popularization of TV, the motion picture industry su ered greatly. Movie attendance dropped when audience members chose to stay at home and be entertained. Likewise. When a football game was shown on the air, the stands were often empty because fans chose to watch the game at home. 47. What is the main topic of this talk? 48. According to the speaker, what is the relationship between radio & the newspaper industry? 49. According to the speaker, how did the introduction of television a ect motion pictures?

After all how many students are lucky enough to have been accepted at their rst and their second choices? *Not many I know. But I'm not sure yet which one to choose. *Well, you seem to have doubts about the state university. But its biology department has a ne reputation. What more could a biology major want? *Yeah. And they also have internships for seniors. But a friend told me that for the rst two years some lectures have a hundred and fty students. You probably wouldn't get to know any of your teachers. *Well, you might actually. Because those classes also have small discussion sections. Twice a week, and have no more than twenty students. *I know. But I've heard that they are usually taught by graduate students. At White Stone College all classes are taught by professors. *What about Sating? Do you prefer a small town like White Stone? Or a bigger place like the state capital? *That doesn't matter to me. What I do care about is getting individual attention from the faculty than making friends. *Look, I've known you for four years now and you seen to be a pretty outgoing person. I don't think you have any trouble making friends at the state university. It sounds to me that you are learning toward White Stone though? *I am. The only problem is that the White Stone's tuition is really high and I'm not sure I can a ord it. *You could still apply for a student loan or sign up for a work-study program. *Yeah.

Well, to tell you the truth, I have mixed feelings. *Oh, why? *I have this great summer job that I really hated to leave. I worked at the wild life research center in Maryland. *That makes sense for a genetic major. What did you do? Clean the cages? *This is a wild life center, not a zoo. This place breeds endangered species and tries to prepare them for life in the wild. *You mean the endangered species like the tiger and the panda? *Well, endangered species, yes. But not tigers or pandas. I was working with whooping cranes and sandtail cranes. It was really neat. I taught the baby crane how to eat and drink, and I help the vet to give medical check-ups. *I can see why it was hard to leave that job. But how did you teach a bird how to eat and drink? *We covered ourselves up with clothes and used puppets made out of stu ed cranes to show the baby chicks what to do. Then the chicks copied what the puppets did. *Clothes? Puppets? Sounds like fun. *It was. The clothes and puppets are the key tool of this. We all covered ourselves up, the scientists, the vets, the genial stock, everybody. You see, baby cranes will become attached to their care-takers. *So if the care-taker is a person, the crane will stay in places where people are. *Yeah. And their chances for survival aren't very good. But by covering ourselves and by using birds puppets the chicks are more likely to seek out other birds rather than people. And their transition to the wild has a better chance of being successful. *A chance of being successful? Hasn't this been done before? *It's been done with sandtail cranes and everyone is optimistic about its work with whooping cranes too. *Yeah. It's exciting, isn't that? 35. Why does the woman say she has a mixed feelings? 36. What was the woman's job? 37. What is the goal of the wild life center? 38. Why does the man mention the tigers and pandas? 39.

40 to 42 A lecture in a architectural design course. In 1871 the rst passenger elevators were used in o ce buildings and allowed architects to build higher than people could comfortably walk. Another innovation was in building technique. In 1885 the steel skeleton was introduced and allowed for the construction of tall building that could withstand high winds. We take for granted some of the other inventions that enabled people to live and work in skyscrapers. For example, few people realized that the telephone was necessary for vertical communication and that ush toilet and vacuum incinerator made waste disposal possible. Now as we entered the age of super skyscraper, some with more than 200 oors, we see the need for even more technological innovations. In the area of heating and cooling systems for example. For all their bene ts, these super tall building do cause problems though. For one thing they place enormous train on parking and tra c row in urban areas. But let's leave behind these technical concerns and move on to consider some of the design elements that have come to characterize the age of the skyscraper. 40. What does the professor mainly discuss? 41. What does the professor say about the invention of the elevator? 42. What will the professor probably discuss next? 43 to 46 Talk in an introductory biology class. Good morning. Let me welcome all the new members of the ski patrol. My name is Brenda Peters and I've been a ski-patroller for nearly three years. After working in o ces and restaurants I nd this job very satisfying. After all, if you love the outdoors, it's a great job. You won't get rich but you' get in great shape and you will be able to help people everyday. And for me the best part of the job is giving ski lessons I've made a lot of friends that way. Of course your main responsibilities will involve ensuring the safety of everyone who skis here. All trails have to be checked daily to make sure they are groomed probably. You also will have to be watching out constantly for people who aren't skiing safely, or who may think they are better skiers than they really are. And to help those who are injured, you'll have to know basic rst aid. Tomorrow you will begin training in a rst aid system that skiers speci cally to the outdoors. We pride ourselves in our ability to get people o the mountain quickly and safely. OK, so you are free to explore the slopes for the test of the day. All in all, I think that being a ski patroller is great job I hope you will all feel the same way. 43. What does the speaker mainly discuss? 44. According to the speaker, what is one advantage of working on a ski patrol? 45. What does the speaker say she likes most about giving ski lessons?

46. According to the speaker, what is one of the man responsibilities of ski patroller? 47-50 A lecture given in a geology class. If you ew over certain parts of Nebraska and Texas by plane, you might notice some large areas appearing as bright green circles many hundreds of feet across. This green is unusual in the high plains area where the climate is very dry. These green patches are the result of a new technique for mining the underground water. In this technique, miners bore deep holes in the ground until they reach a special geological formation called ocheropher. The water which has collected in this ocherophers for hundreds of years in called fossil water or ground water. It pumped up through the bored hole and spray over the land to irrigate the crops. Raising crops such as cotton and wheat, water in this way creates the fertile green areas that contrasts vividly with the natural brown of the plains. Crop yields have increase dramatically. However they've created a serious environmental problem. The problem is that the water is being removed from many ocherophers faster than it can be replenished naturally. Ground water levels have dropped rapidly and it's becoming more di cult and expensive to get this water. In some parts of Texas, water levels in some of the ocherophers have declined cess of using water faster than it can be replaced is wide-spread and serious. 47. What does the speaker mainly discuss? 48. What bene ts have resulted from the technique? 49. What is happening to ground water? 50. What does the speaker imply about ground water?

We are hundreds of miles from the ocean. The cafeteria can't a ord to y in fresh sh. *I just mentioned it because an anecdote Professor Chambers told in class this morning. *Which class? *My American social history. It's a lot of fun. *He talked about sh sticks? *Not exactly. Bur he did talk about frozen sh. OK, this is back in 1920, right? It's 20 degrees below zero. And this guy Clarence Birdseye's out ice- shing. *Where is this, Antarctica? *No. Massachusetts I think. Anyway he catches a sh and drops it beside him on the ice and it freezes solid. *So? *So, later at home he thaws out the sh in a bucket of water and it's alive. Of course Birdseye is amazed. But he eventually gures it out that the sh froze so fast that no large ice crystals fomed. *What do you mean? *Look, usually when a plant or animal cell freezes, large ice crystals form inside and eventually tear the cell walls. That's what kills the frozen plant or animal. And also what changes the taste of something that's been frozen. But if you freeze something quickly, only very small ice crystals form. So Birdseye invented the process of quick freezing food. *And that was the beginning of the frozen foods? *Right. 35. Why does the woman tell the man the story? 36. Why is it important to quick freeze fresh food? 37. What was Clarence Birdseye surprised to learn?

38 to 41 A lecture about the railroad industry.

136

\]gfo 96 d 5 nj^i`kp

At the beginning of the century the railroads were used to haul everything. Powerful railroad barons made fortunes without laving to be accountable to the public or considerable to the customers. But cars and trucks changed all of that. And by 1970, the rail industry was beset with problems. Trucks were taking all the new business. And even so the rail industry remained indi erent to customers. Also many regulations kept the rail industry from adjusting to shifting market. But in 1980, the rail industry entered the modern era when a deregulation bill was passed that allowed railroad companies to make quick adjustments to fees and practices. Companies reduced their lines by 1/3 and used fewer employees. They also took steps to minimize damage to product. And to increase their shipping capacity by stacking freight containers on railroad cars. To accommodate these taller loads, underpasses and tunnels were enlarged. The image of the rail industry has changed dramatically. Today companies are very responsive to customers and are gaining increasing market shares in the shipping industry. The railroad safety record is also strong. Freight trains have an accident rate that is only 1/3 that of the truck industry. Trains also come out ahead of the trucks on environmental grounds because they give o only 1/10 to 1/3 the pollution that is emitted by trucks. And railroading does not were out highways as trucks do. 38. What does the speaker mainly discuss? 39. What development caused a decline in the use of railroads? 40. What is one reason why the railroad industry is gaining public support? 41. According to the speaker, what expense does trucking public support? 42 to 45 Talk in an introductory biology class. This co ee can contains soil from my garden. And I prepared slide samples to show you that it is alive. This ordinary backyard dirt is crawling with microbes. Microbes is not a very speci c term. There are hundreds of thousands of di erent species called microbes. What they have to common is that we can't see them with a naked eye. They are microspopic. Look at this slide. You should see some round cells. Those are yeasts. Yeasts are fermenters. And they are necessary for making bread, beer, yogurt and so forth. Now look for an irregular shape with hairs coming out of it. That's a mold. Molds are decomposers, and they are responsible for the decomposition of my compile teeth. You should also see some protozoa. Some protozoa, like the one causes malaria are harmful to people. A microbic causes disease is called a pathogen. Finally you should see a lot of squiggly lines. They are bacteria. The oldest form of life on earth. Like the other microbes, bacteria are single-cells do not have a nuclear. So I've got about a teaspoon of soil in my hand here. In that teaspoon are about ten thousand protozoa, 200 thousand mold cells, a million yeast, probably a billion bacteria. 42. What is the main purpose of the talk? 43. Why did the speaker take a soil sample from his garden?

* Have you ever read anything about pseudo sciences? * You mean fake sciences? Yes. In fact I was just reading some articles about the brain. I have been looking through some of my roommate's science magazines and I came across an article on phrenology. * Phrenology, wasn't that the pseudo science founded by the scientist Franz Gall? * Yes. Gall maintained that people's characters could be determined by the size and the shape of their skulls. For example he though that a pump in a certain place on the head means that the person had the ability of a musician. * Really? I wonder what phrenologists would say about the bumps on my head. Would they say I have the abilities to be a doctor, or a plumber, or a thief. * Well, I'm not sure exactly what the connection is between a person's abilities and the physical characteristics of the head. But although there's no scienti c basis for phrenology, it is true that the bead is the center control for the rest of the body. * I guess you are right. Scientists now know that di erent parts of the brain control di erent parts of the body. * Yes. And I wouldn't be surprised that the scientists one day discover that certain aspect of phrenology has scienti c application. 35. What is the source of the woman's information? 36.

24.3 PART C

38 to 42 Talk given in a library science class. In the early 1800s, the paper industry was still using rags as its basic source of ber as it had for many centuries. However the rag supply couldn't keep up with the growing demand for paper. The United States alone was using 250 thousand tons of rags each year. And a quarter of that had to be imported. It was clear that a new source of ber was needed to keep up with the demand for paper. The answer to this problem turned out to be paper made from wood pulp, something that was abundantly available in north America. IN Canada, the rst wood pulp mill was set up in 1866 and it was immediately successful. But while wood pulp solved the problem of quantity it created a problem of quality. Wood contains a substance called lignin. The simplest way to make large quantities of cheap paper involved leaving the lignin in the wood pulp. But lignin is acidic and its presence in paper has shorten the life expectancy of paper from several centuries for rag pager to less than a century for paper made from wood

144

pulp. This means that books printed less than a hundred years ago are already turning yellow and beginning to disintegrate, even though books printed much earlier maybe in the conditions. This is bad enough for the older books on your bookshelf but it opposes a huge problem for libraries and the collections of government documents. 38. What does the speaker mainly discuss? 39. What did the paper industry need a new source of ber in the early 1800s? 40. What can inferred about the rst wood pulp mill in Canada? 41. According to the speaker, what is the problem with lignin? 42. According to the speaker, what problem do libraries face? 43 to 47 Radio announcer talking about a current topic. A recent report has shown that here in the United States, we've experienced an evolution concerning our attitudes towards the workweek and the weekends. Although some calendars still mark the beginning of a week as Sunday, more and more of us are coming to regard Monday as the rst day of the week with Saturday and Sunday comprising the two-day period thought as the weekend. In fact the word "weekend" didn't even exist in English until about the middle of last century. In England at that time, Saturday afternoons had just been added to Sundays and holidays as a time for workers to have o from their jobs. This innovation became common in the United States in the 1920s, but as the workweek were shortened during the Great Depression of the 1930s, the weekend expanded to two full days - Saturday and Sunday. Some people thought that this trend would continue due to increasing automation and the workweek might decrease to four days or even fewer. But so far this hasn't happened. The workweek seems to have stabilized as forty hours made up of ve eight-hour days. After this commercial I'll be back to talk about the idea of adding Monday to the weekend. 43. What is the speaker mainly discussing? 44. According to the speaker, what is changing in the way people think about the week? 45. According to the speaker, how has the amount of time people work changed from the early part of the century? 46. What does the speaker imply about the workweek in England in early 1800s? 47. According to the speaker, what a ect did some people think the increasing use of automation would have? 48 to 50 A professor talking to her music students.

The biggest stars on the music scene appear here. The year I went I was Lucky enough to see Leonard Bemstein conducting. I understand it is sometimes hard to get tickets but of course mine were a part of the prize. If you want to sit inside the tickets are expensive. It's much cheaper to sit outside on the lawn. But it might rain, or sometimes it is really cool even in the summer. Either way the sound system is excellent. So it doesn't really matter where you sit. I seem to recall that the festival got started in the 1930s. Some Berkshire residents invited a symphony orchestra to perform a few outdoor concerts. The concerts were so successful that after a couple of years that things really took o . And the festival has got bigger and better every year. Attending was such a wonderful experience. I'd love to be able to go again. And I hope that all of you would be able to go too. 48. Why did the professor originally go to Tanglewood? 49.

I know that's an area of expertise. * Right. Anyway for her study she's taking some high school students who aren't doing very well in their classes and testing them to nd out what their learning styles are. Then tutors, people like me, will work with them presenting material to them in their particular learning style. * Hey. That is interesting. Now will you mostly do the testing or the tutoring? * Both I hope. I want to be involved from start to nish. * Are you getting paid for this? * I'm sure we'll get something though, probably not much. Anyway it doesn't matter to me, I just want to have some hands-on experience. * Yeah. And it'll be nice to help those high school students too. * That's what I thought when I saw the ad. You know you could do it too. You don't have to be in her classes to work on the study. * Really? Do you have any idea what the schedule is like? * Late afternoon then evening for tutoring I think. After all the kids are in regular classes until three thirty.

39 to 42 A museum guide talking about native American pottery. Hello, I'll be your tour guide today here at the art museum so I'd like to welcome you to this month's exhibit of native American pottery. We'll begin our tour in a few minutes. But rst I'm going to tell you something about the way this pottery was created. Pottery was made all over ancient North America by many di erent groups of people. One of the earliest of these ancient American cultures was the Hohokam people. They lived in what is now Arizona from about 300 BC to AD 1500. And it's their pottery that you will be looking at today. All of the pottery was made from clay. Some objects were mug, bowls and ladies for drinking and eating. You will also see nger rings and animal-shaped incense burners which we believe were probably used in special ritual. The Hohokam formed their pottery vessels from coils of clay. Then shaped them with special tools to create very thin sides on the vessels. Afterwards they painted the pottery with red design. Actually many of the pieces here have designs right on them that show how the pottery was used. Now I hope you'll enjoy the beauty and the uniqueness of the Hohokam pottery and that will give you some interesting insights about the people who created it. Please feel free to ask me any questions and thank you for joining us today. 39. What does the speaker mainly discuss? (C) 40. What is the purpose of the talk? (B) 41. What did the Hohokam do with their pottery? (B) 42. What does the speaker say about the way the hohokam pottery was made? (A) 43 to 46 A talk in an American history class. I'm going to introduce two current points of view about the motivation for writing the United States Constitution back in 1787. The rst one is called the idealist view. The idealists basically believe that the writers of the Constitution were motivated by ideas. Which ideas? The ideas of the revolutionary war, such as liberty and democracy. The idealists remind that the young

25.3 PART C

153

country had a lot of problems: an economic depression, a large war debts, lawlessness and trade barriers between the states. They argue that the representatives needed to control these problems in order for the United States to survive. The other point of view is the economic view. The economic view is that the writers of the Constitution were concerned about their own nancial interests. According to them most people were living wealth for the wealthiest people were afraid of losing their money. The writers wanted a strong central government that would promote trade protect private property and perhaps most of all collect taxes to pay o the United States' large war debts. Because a number of those who wrote the constitution had loaned money to the government during the revolution. Which view is correct? Well historians who wrote during the calm and prosperous 1950s found reasons to believe the idealist view. Those who wrote during the trouble of 1960s found support for the economic view point. I'd say that neither view is complete, both the idealist and the economic perspective contribute a part to the whole picture. 43. What is the talk mainly about? (D) 44. According to the economic view, who bene ted the most from the new Constitution? (B) 45. What can be inferred about the views of the historians ? (C) 46 to 50 Part of a speech on birds by a biologist. Many egg-laying animals merely lay their eggs and leave. Turtles for instance, the eggs hatch on their own. The current theory about birds is that the earliest birds did just that when they were cold-blooded creatures living in warm places. However when they became warm-blooded creatures living in cold places they had to remain on the eggs to keep them warm. The process we call incubation. For this they needed a place a nest. Very likely the rst nests were just primitive depressions scrape into the ground. Even now many species still lay eggs in this sort of crude nests. In fact every spring a mother killdeer lays her in some pebbles along the edge of the parking lot just outside this building. Primitive nests on the ground were ne for some birds but others began to elevate their nests in branches perhaps to avoid predators. These early elevated nests were probably loose platforms of sticks and twigs the types still built by ospreys and mostarians today. The latest evolvement in nest the most recent version, so to speak, is the cup-shaped nest. This is the one we regard today as the typical bird's nest, you know, like a robin's nest. 46. What is the main topic of the talk? (C) 47. What evolutionary change in birds led to nest building? (B) 48. According to the speaker, where were the rst bird's nests located? A) 49. What is the killdeer's nest in parking lot an example of? (A) 50. According to the speaker, what is a possible reason that birds began to build nests in trees?

M: There sure are. Instead of paying one fee to cover all meals for the whole school year, we are now be able to choose by seven, ten, fourteen or twenty-one meals per week. They give you a card with the number of meals you get for a week marked on it. W: That's a big change Tom. And a complicated system. M: Yeah. But it will be much better for people who don't eat three meals a day, seven days a week in the cafeteria because they don't have to pay meals they don't eat. W: So what's the deal for those who do eat at school all the time? M: It's better for them too. Because the meal you contract, the cheaper each one is. W: I see. It is still sound rather complicated. M: True. It took me several hours to gure it out. I decided to go with the ten Meals. W: Why is that? M: Well, I never eat breakfast and I often go away on weekends. So the ten meal plan gives me lunch and dinner each weekday at a fairly low price. And I won't be paying for meals I don't usually eat. W: And what about the weekend when you are on campus? M: Well, there are often guests on campus at weekends. So they allow you to buy single meals on a walk-in basis on Saturdays and Sundays. The price per meal is much higher in that way. But I an away so much that it will still be less money for me to pay single prices on the weekends rather than sign up for the fourteen meal a week plan. W: Oh, I guess I'll have to sit down and gure out my eating pattern so I can get the best deal. 35. What's the main feature of the new method of paying for meals? (B) 36. When do the students pay for the meals they contract for? (C)

Listen to this talk being given to college campus. I was really glad when your club invited me to share my coin collection. It's been my passion since I collected my rst Lincoln dime in 1971. That is the current coin with Abraham's image. Just a little history before I started my own collection. Lincoln pennies are made of copper and they were the rst the United States coins to bear the lightness of the president. It was minted in 1909 when the country was celebration the centennial of Lincoln's birth than 1809 that the decision was made to redesign the one-cent piece in his honor. Before that, the penny has an American Indian head on it. The new penny was designed by artist Victor David Braner. It is interesting because he put his initials DVB on the reverse of the coin ad the original design. There was a general abort when the initial was discovered. And only a limited numbers of coins were strutted with the initials on them. Today a penny with the initials from a San Francisco mint called the 1909s' DVB was worth 500 dollars. Now when I started my coin collection, I began with penny for several reasons. There were a lot of them, several hundred billion were minted and there were a lot of people collecting them. So I have plenty of people to trade with and talk to about my collection. Also it was the coin I could a ord to collect as a young teenager. In the twenty- ve years since then, I have managed to acquire over three hundred coins some of them are very rare. I will be sharing with you today some of my rare specimen including the 1909s' DVB. 39. Why does the woman collect coins? (C) 40. Why were letters DVB on pennies? (D) 41. What was one of reasons the collector collected coins as a teenager? (B) 42. What will the speaker do next? (B) Question 43 to 46. Listen to talk from a biology class. Today I want to talk to you about the wasps and their nests. You recall the biologist divided species of wasps into two groups solitary and social. Solitary wasps as the name implied do not live together with other wasps. In most species the male and female get together only to mate and then the female does all the work of building the nest and providing the food for the o spring by herself. Solitary wasps usually make nest on the ground and they separate the chambers for the individual o spring with the grass, stone or mud, whatever is handy. What about social wasps? They form a community and work together to build and maintain the nest. A nest begins in the spring when the fertile female called the queen build the rst new compartment in the nest and lay eggs. The rst o spring are females but cannot lay eggs. These females called

26.2 PART B

161

workers. They build a lot of new compartments and the queen lays more eggs. They also care for the new o spring and defend the nest with their stingers. By the way only the female have stingers. Most social wasps make nest of paper. The female produces the paper by chewing out bers or old wood. They spread the papers in thin layers to make cells, which the queen lays her eggs. Most of you I'm sure have seen these nests suspended from the trees. They may also be built on the ground in abundant road bowls. 43. Who builds the nest of solitary wasps? (C) 44. Why the female wasps are more dangers to people than the male wasps are? (D) 45. What is the main function of the queen ? (B) 46. What are the nests of social wasps made of? (C) Question 47 to 50. Listen to a talk in class about United States history. What was the most popular mix about the United States in the 19th Century was that of the free and simple life of the farmer. It was said that the farmers worked hard on their own land to produce whatever their families' needed. They might sometimes trade with their neighbors, but in general they could get along just ne by relying on themselves, not on commercial ties with others. This is how Thomas Je erson idealized the farmers at the beginning of the 19th century. And at that time, this may have been close to the truth especially on the frontier. But by the mid century sweeping changes in agriculture were well under way as farmers began to specialized in the raising of crops such as cotton or corn or wheat. By late in the century revolutionary invents in farm machinery has vastly increased the production of specialized crops and extensive network of railroads had linked farmers throughout the country to market in the east and even overseas. By raising and selling specialized crops, farmers could a ord more and ner goods and achieved much higher standard of living but at a price. Now farmers were no longer dependent just on the weather and their own e orts, their lives were increasing controlled by the banks, which had powder to grant or deny loans for new machinery, and by the railroads which set the rates for shipping their crops to the market. As businessmen, farmers now had to worry about national economic depression and the implement of world supply and demand on for example, the of price of wheat in hands. And so by the end of the 19th century, the era of Je erson's independent farmer had come to a close. 47. What is the main topic of the talk? (D) 48. According to the professor, what was the major change in the agriculture during the 19th century? (A) 49. According to the professor, what was one result of the increased use of machinery on farms of the United States? (B) 50. According to the professor, why was world market important for the United States agriculture? (C)

31-34 PART OF A TELEPHONE INTERVIEW * Dr. Thomas? This is Keet Bradley from the daily news. I'd like to ask you some questions about the new o cial standard weight that you purchased. * I'd be happy to help you. What would you like to know? * First of all, how was the standard weight used? * Well, the people in our department use it to check the scales all over the country. The department of weights and measures, we are a government agency. It's our responsibility to see that all the scales measure a kilogram accurately so this is the way we use to adjust the scales. * How did you check the scales before? * We have an old standard weight that we used to use. It had to be replaced because it was imprecise. You see it was made of poor quality metal that was too porous. It absorbed too much moisture.

27.2 PART B

167

* Oh. So when the weather was humid it weighed more and when it was dry it weighed less. * Exactly. And that variation can a ect the standards of the whole country. So our department had the new weight made out of higher quality metal. * How much did it cost.? * About 45 thousand dollars. * 45,000 dollars? For a one kilogram weight? That's more expensive than gold. Is it really worth that much? * I'm sure it is. Industries depend on our government agency to monitor the accuracy of scales so that when they buy and sell their products there is one standard. Think of the drug industry, for example, those companies rely on high accuracy scales to manufacture and package medicine. 31. What is the conversation mainly about? (B) 32. How was the weight used? (A) 33. Why was it necessary to replace the old standard weight? (C) 34. What does Dr. Thomas probably think about the cost of the new weight? (C) 35-38 CONVERSATION BETWEEN A STUDENT AND A PROFESSOR * Elizabeth Martin speaking. * Dr. Martin, my name is Mark Johnson. My roommate, Benjamin Jones, is in your art history class. Uh-m, Art History 502? * Yes. * Well, he is sick and won't be in your class today. He asked me to bring his term paper to your o ce. * OK. The paper is due by 3 o'clock. * I have a class from 1 to 2. I'll bring it to your o ce after my class. * Well, I have a meeting this afternoon. So you can drop it o with the secretary of the art history department. She'll see that I get it. * Ok. Oh I almost forgot. I'm a biology major. But my advisor told me that I need one more humanities course to graduate. I've noticed that you are teaching a course on landscape painters next semester. Could tell me a little bit about it? * Sure. Well, it's a course for non-art majors. We'll be looking at several di erent painters and examining their works. We'll be looking at several di erent painters and examining their works. We'll also look the history and politics of the era in which they lived. * That sounds interesting. What else is required? * There is no nal exam. And there is only one required book. But each student has to give a major presentation about the individual painter at the end of the course.

27.3 PART C

39 to 42 TALK IN AN ARCHITECTURE CLASS As you probably know, log structures are gaining popularity. They are no longer just the simple country homes that we think of as the traditional log cabin. Some upscale homes now incorporate natural round logs in sealing beams and walls. People seem to think that the rounded logs give their homes a cozy warm atmosphere. And even people who want to build a traditional log cabin on their own can buy a kits with precut logs that t together like pieces of lig-saw puzzle. Before showing you some slides of modern log houses, I'd like to give you a little historical background on the subject. Log cabins were rst built in the late 1600s along the Delaware river valley. The European immigrants who settled there brought centuries' old traditions of working with logs. And in this heavily wooded area logs were the material in hand. Log cabins were the most popular in the early 1800s with the settlers who were moving west. They provided the answer to the pioneer's need for a sale and sliding boards for windows. But the log buildings that have probably had most in uence on modern architects are those of the mountain retreats of wealthy New Yorkers. These country houses which were popular in the early 1900s typify what's known as the Adoroundyx style. Now let's look at those slides. 39. What is the speaker mainly discussing? (C) 40. According to the speaker, what gives modern log homes their warm atmosphere? (C) 41. Why did the early settlers use log for building homes? (B) 42. According to the speaker, why were log cabins especially popular with settlers who moved west? (A) 43 to 46 TALK IN A GEOGRAPITY CLASS The Old Canada Road is a long lost trail between the Canadian province of Quebec and Maine in the northeast corner of the United States. Yes it really was lost and nding it again was

a complex process that involved state of our technology: how the location of the roads was pinpointed was very interesting. And I'll return to it as soon as I gave you a little background information. The road was begun in 1817, a few years before Maine even became a state. At the time Quebec was a major market for livestock, crops and sh. So a road to Quebec was seen by o cials in Maine as necessary for trade. For about 20 years the movement of people and goods was mostly from Maine to Quebec, and then the trend reversed as thousands of Canadians immigrated to Maine to escape poor crops, the lack of jobs and the threat of disease. I think it was a color epidemic. Besides its negative reasons major building projects in Maine also made the state very attractive for the Canadians who needed work. I should stress though that immigration during that period went in both directions. In fact the ow of people and goods went completely unhindered. There wasn't even a border post until around 1850. The people of the time saw Maine and Quebec as single region mainly because of the strong French in uence which is still evident in Maine today. Eventually the road fell into disuse as a major railway was completed. Finally people simply forgot about it and that's how it came to be lost. This brings me back to the original topic. 43. What does the speaker say about the road between Main and Quebec? (B) 44. What is one reason Canadians began to immigrate to Maine during the 1800s? (B) 45. What can be inferred about the region including Maine and Quebec during the early 1800s? (A) 46. What subject is the speaker most likely to discuss next? (D) 47 to 50 LECTURE IN A COLLEGE CLASS OK, in the last class we talked about the classi cation of trees and we ended up with a basic description of angiosperm. You remember that those are plants with true owers and seeds that develop into fruits. The common broad leaf trees we have on campus fall into this category. But our pines don't. Now I hope you all followed my advice and wore comfortable shoes because as I said today we are going to do a little eld study. To get started let me describe a couple of broadleaf trees we have in front of us. I'm sure you've all noticed that this big tree next to Brett Hall. It's a black walnut that must be 80 feet tall. As a matter of fact there is a plaque identifying. It is the tallest black walnut in the state. And from here we can see the beautiful archway of trees at the commons. They are American elms. The ones along the commons were planted when the college was founded 120 years ago. They have distinctive dark green leaves that lock lopsided because the two sides of the leaf are unequal. I want you to notice the elm right outside the Jackson Hall. Some of the leaves have withered and turned yellow, maybe due to Dutch elm disease. Only a few branches seem a ective so far but if this tree is sick it'll have to be cut down. Well, let's move on and I'll describe what we see as we go. 47. What are the students going to do during this class period? (D)
