Sample answer:   (音频下载请点击附件important book.mp3)

Of all the wonderful books, The Greatest Salesman in the World
is the book that I can never put it down and had a transforming effect on my life.

It is such a kind of book that inspires, that offers practical tips about goals, habits, productivity （本义：生产力，可引申为“多产性，创造性”）and more. To be specific, it’s a book about how to empower and motivate yourself to be successful。Many, many people have read this book and many of them have reported life-changing （具生命转折意义的）results from the postive concepts contained within it. They are pretty inspiring. It surely is something that I can depend on when I’m in adversity（逆境）.The principals are powerful and really work for me.

In this case, I think the book is very important to me even though it might not work for some other people.

Describe a book that you think is the most useful and explain why it is the most useful.

Sample answer:    (音频下载请点击附件useful book.mp3)

The book that I think is the most useful is OG, Official Guide for new TOEFL. I’m a book lover and have lots and lots of collections. But OG is of the greatest use‘cause I’m taking TOEFL Test, which is a must for a student who is gonna finish his or her overseas study in America. Not only does it give the brief introduction of the test, but it also provides test candidates with practical tips.
On the other hand, some basics of English language are offered following the main parts, which is very helpful for those who don’t have a good command of English.
Most of all, it helps me get well prepared for TOEFL iBT and improve my performance on the four skills as well. This definitely leads to the academic success in my future study. That’s why I think OG is the most useful book for me.

Does television play a positive or negative role in the modern world?

Sample answer:     (音频下载请点击附件television.mp3)

Television is now playing a very important part in our life. Like other things, it has both advantages and disadvantages. But I think the former outweigh the latter.
First , television keeps one informed of current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers programs which are both instructive and entertaining.
Second, it is a great comfort to many lonely people even though there are many arguments against television.
Last, education has improved a lot since the arrival of TV in the home. Through TV a child can extend his knowledge and sparkle (激发，鼓舞) his imagination. Those above are the reasons why I think television plays a positive role in the modern society.

                                                                                                                                               共8句

Reading:【学校通知】：学校要修建sculpture，有个学生写了一封公开信反对，认为学校的经费已经很紧张,修建雕像只会加重学生的负担，并且占用学校的绿地。

Listening: 【学生议论】：女生不同意。原因有二：

1）她认为钱是donor出的，因此不会对学生产生影响，而且觉得

2）学校里有这样的art 是件好事。有个叫Paul的认为雕像占了他们踢球的地方，女生认为他们只要到别的地方踢球就好了。

Sample answer:

In the reading material, the university is considering renovating the sculpture. However, there are students who disagree because they think the school is in bad financial condition. And that will increase the students’ financial burden.
In the listening material, we clearly learn that the woman likes the idea . One reason she gives is that the doner gives the school money, so students won’t be expected to pay additional fees. Another reason is that she thinks it is a good thing to have such work of art even though the sculpture occupies the space for playing soccer.
Therefore, she agrees with that opinion.

Reading: 【课文要点】关于group thinking。先给一段文章解释其定义以及其形成原因。
Listening:【教授举例】说一次他们讨论公司的电脑是否要做得fashion一些以吸引顾客，这时大部分的员工都表示同意，但是跳出来一个senior manager说应该重视技术而不是外表，大家又纷纷同意了SM，甚至是这个人的partner，因为怕得罪SM 得不到升职，也同意了SM。结果电脑卖的不好，但是下一年由于改进了外观就卖的好了。

Sample answer:
In this set of materials, the reading passage gives a defination of group thinking.
In the listening passage, the professor gives a talk on it. He states that group thinking is concerned generally with critical thinking in group, institutional, or organizational contexts and has negative influence on achieving a goal. Then he goes on to further explain that by giving an example. A company is having a group discussion on the appearance of a type of computer. Most of employees agree that the fashionable appearance would be more attractive to the customers. However, a senior manager expressed his opinon that technology is more important than appearance. Then everyone agrees with the senior manager. Even his partner also agrees in case of being unable to get promotion. As a result, the computers don’t sell well. And they have to improve their appearance the next year.

【学生困难】：一个女生在elementary school做volunteer，要带小孩子去zoo但是没有车，她想租车，租的话就要租两辆还要另外找一个人开车。

【解决方案】：男生给他两个建议：

1）找朋友借车再找人帮她开。

2）乘坐公共汽车。女的说可以考虑，但是在公车上照顾那么多小孩子是个challenge。

Sample answer:
The discussion is between two students. The female student is telling her friend about her problem. She works as a volunteer at an elementary school. She is gonna take the children to school, but she doesn’t have a van. The male student suggests she could borrow a friend’s van and then ask someone to drive.
He also suggests she take a bus. She said she may think about that, but it’s a great challenge to take care of children on the bus.
I think the second idea serves her purpose better because she wouldn’t take the trouble asking two people for help. What she has to do is just to take care of the children. And that’ what she was supposed to do on the volunteer project.

【讲课要点】：关于小孩子的数学潜能。5个月左右的小孩子好像懂得加法。然后做实验证明。比如把一个doll
放在桌子上让他看到，然后拿到屏幕后面藏起来，再拿出一个放到后面，这样小孩子就assume
屏幕后面应该有两个dolls，但是科学家已经偷偷拿走了一个，因此当移开屏幕的时候小孩子看到的是一个，他就会表现的比较吃惊，怎么判断他是吃惊的呢，STARE或者睁大眼睛。

Sample answer:
The lecture tells us about children’s math potential. The professor states that children under 5 seem to understand addition. Then he goes on to explain that by giving an example. One doll was put on the table for the child to see and then hidden behind the screen. Another doll was taken out and also was put behind the screen. Then the child would assume that there were two dolls behind the screen. Actually the researchers have taken one doll away. When the screen was moved away, the child was very surprised to see only one. He either stared there or kept his eyes wide open for a few moment.
By these means, the professor proves that children has math potential under the age of 5.

Describe the most important decision that you’ve made in your life.

Sample answer:    (音频下载请点击附件decision.mp3)

A particularly significant decision I’ve made in my life was that I came to work and live in Beijing.

I had just finished my contract on a very decent job and I suppose I wanted freedom, or at least a long break. So I decided to come to Beijing even though I knew it is challenging and demanding. But I still thought life was wonderful and the world was big.

Besides, I was always a bit tempestuous (激情澎湃的) and I liked to do things on the spur（刺激）of the moment. Arriving in a new city was exhilarating（兴奋的）. Just walking out of the station with a suitcase and two bags and with a dream of doing something for the Olympic Games, I felt I had arrived and I felt life was mine and I could make of it what I wanted.

That summer, I realized again and saw clearer that life never ought to be boring, but on the contrary is full of adventure and challenge and is exciting, too.

Do you think high school should teach music and art as other basic science?

Sample answer:  (音频下载请点击附件music & art.mp3)
Music and art should be important components of the school curriculum because they have many uses besides recreation. To study music is to study the basics. Through its study, students come into contact with other basic areas of the curriculum: math, science, social studies, languages, and physical education.

Apart from that, music, like reading, writing and speaking, conveys thoughts, ideas and feelings. It also provides an avenue for developing self-expression and creativity.

On the other hand, art education in itself has tremendous value. Learning about the history, sharing ideas and knowledge, is always a good thing.

Music and art, therefore, as important parts of our lives, should be taught in high school.

Reading:【学校通知】：学生登在校报的文章说在final exam期间，学校的library
应该24小时开放，以方便同学使用,因为很多同学都学的很晚， 因此而增加的费用可以用其它方式来补偿,例如可以把library在vacation期间关了来省钱。

Listening: 【学生议论】：男生不同意。原因有二：

1）good sleeping才能better study。

2）在vacation, 很多留校的同学, 特别是graduates学习要用library, 怎么能关呢。

Sample answer:

The reading passage is about a student’s article, which says the school library should be open for 24 hours for students to use during the final exam. And then the school could try some other options to cover the additional expenses that brings about, like closing it during vacation.

In the listening material, we clearly learn that the man doesn't like the idea and he thinks it’s ridiculous. One reason he gives is that sleeping well is good for study. Another reason is that it would be unconvenient for students staying on campus during vacation if the library was closed, especially for the graduates who spend more time in the library.

Therefore, he disagrees with that opinion.

Reading: 【课文要点】supernational organization 的定义, 有什么好处.

Listening:【教授举例】举了两个例子说它的好处：

1) World Health Organization.

2) European Union.

Sample answer:
In this set of materials, the reading passage explains a definition of supernational organization. It also states the benefits of it.
In the listening passage, the professor gives a talk on it. He takes World Health Organization and European Union for example to further explain that. World Health Organization is to protect the health of all human beings. It claims that highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being. And the main aim of European Union is to promote democratization,security and economic growth in the countries in Europe.
By these means, he proves that supernational organizations do a lot of good to human beings.

【学生困难】：要开一个Seminar, 女生要Speech, 但没准备.

【解决方案】：男生给她两个建议：

1）找Instructor。

2）去library找点video看看.

Sample answer:
The discussion is between two students. The female student is telling her classmate that she hasn’t prepared the speech for the seminar. The male student suggests she go to the instructor and tell him about it.
He also tells her to borrow some videos from the library. I think the second idea serves her purpose because it would be better to attend the seminar with prepared speech. Also, there’s enough time to prepare for it. But if she missed the seminar or went to the seminar without a speech, the instructor wouldn’t be pleased. If I were her, I would try my best to do it well.

【讲课要点】：sculpture的制作方法:
1. cutting法. 就是给你个stone或wood, 你就一直削, 直到做成你想做的东西. 缺点是万一犯了mistake, 没法重新来过。
2. adding法。 就是一直往上加, 直到做成你想要的. 优点是万一哪里不满意可以重来。

Sample answer:
The lecture tells about 2 ways of making sculpture. One way is cutting. That is if you are given a stone or wood, keep cutting until it looks like something that you want it to be. The disadvantage of doing this is that you won’t be able to start it all over again if you make a mistake. The other way is adding. That is keep adding until you make something you want. The advantage of doing so is you can redo that if you are not satisfied with it.

I'm kind of indoor type, so most often I read. I'm interested in reading all kinds of books and newspaper or magazine articles, especially those on current issues. I just want to be informed of what's going on in the world.
Now I spend most of my spare time reading on the Internet by browsing the screen. It’s fast though it might do harm to my eyes. It’s just fast and I can read fast.
I also watch TV, especially the NBA game ‘cause I'm a big basketball fan, even though I'm not very good at playing basketball myself. I love to watch and I will get excited and overjoyed whenever I see Yaoming do a nice shot.

Should cell phone usage be banned in some places?

Sample answer:   (音频下载请点击附件cellphone usage.mp3)

I strongly agree with the opinion that cell-phone usage should be banned in some places like concert halls, movie theaters or in some situations like when you are driving in cars or taking a subway, when you are in flight, in classes or meetings.
For one thing,it has become social etiquette. The cell phone user should know when and where to pick up the cell phone and talk. Though people have personal right to use their phone, the others are not supposed to be involved in the unnecessary disturbance.
For another, cellphone usage can harm a person’s health. Brain cancer rates in the US have risen since cellphones were introduced, leading some people to wonder if cellphone usage is the reason for the increase.
In recognition of those above, there should be some kind of regulations helping with this problem. This way people will be well aware.

Sample answer:   (音频下载请点击附件celebration.mp3)

A memorable celebration which I attended was the celebration party for my university’s 50th birthday.

It was two years ago when I first came back after graduation. I was very excited to see my great teachers and principals. It was a huge party, where lots of smart teachers gave their marvelous performance. The variety and taste of the shows can be comparable to some large entertaining events in the music and art field. It was not only a birthday and success celebration, but it also gave us dreams and aspirations for a bright and more prosperous tomorrow.

We were all inspired. We were all having a wonderful time.

Some people think that they learn more from media like newspapers, TV or the Internet. Other people think that they learn more from their friends, family and teachers. What’s your opinion?

Sample answer:   (音频下载请点击附件learn more from people.mp3)

I think I learn more from people rather than media.

I’ll take my mother as an example. When life seems hopeless, she is always there to help me every step of the way and she maintains everything will be fine unless I myself give up. I’m encouraged not only by her inspiring words but also by her action. By taking action, she has never been overwhelmed by pressure, adversity and even danger.

Also when I feel blue sometimes, I would turn to my classmates or friends for cheering up and comfort. While, media like TV or Internet can only equip me with knowledge and information, they are incapable of giving me spiritual satisfaction. So I learn about life, how to stay strong more from people around me than from the media.

Reading:【学校通知】：学校提供了一种新的计算机助理系统以代替过去的面对面的助理服务。

Listening: 【学生议论】：男女生都不同意。原因有三：

1）不是所有的学生都有钱买电脑。

2）没有面对面的方式直接。

3）有些学生不太会用电脑或不喜欢用电脑。

Sample answer:

In the reading material, the university is considering using a kind of new computer- assisted system instead of face-to-face service.
In the listening material, we clearly learn that neither the man or the woman likes the idea . One reason is that not all students could afford a computer. Another is that computer-assisted service is not direct. And the third reason why they think the new service system won’t work very well is that some students are unable or don’t like to use the computer.

Therefore, they disagree with that opinion.

Reading: 【课文要点】word framing.
Listening:【教授举例】举了2个例子:
1)当天气预报说cloudy的话，那么可能turn to thunder，也可能变sunny，人们却潜意识里面会认为天气最终变sunny；
2) 讲business language. 药品上经常会贴愈率90％治愈率10％虽然这2个表达的意思完全一样，但是人们却会偏向于购买贴着愈率90％药品，因为人们希望治愈，对治愈这个词敏感。

Sample answer:
In this set of materials, the reading passage gives a definition of word framing. It states that people’s behavior is influenced not only by the contents of the words but also by the way in which how the words are phrased.
In the listening passage, the professor explains that by giving two examples. One is that if the weather forecast says there’s 50% possibility of rain, many people may take an umbrella with them. But if the forecast’s delivered as there is 50% possibility of sunshine, very few people will start to prepare for a rainy day. Another example is that many advertisements are carefully worded to render the best outcome. If some new medicine claims that it works for 90% of patients, customers will find it much more attractive.
If it claims there’s 10% of inefficiency, people won’t take it. That’s how word framing produces significant effects on people’s making a decision.

【学生困难】：他们本来要周末带一些小朋友去博物馆参观，但是男生的汽车坏了，不能带他们去，很着急。

【解决方案】：女生给他两个建议：

1）男生的朋友bob
买了新车，可以借他的车

2）可以等车修好后改天再去参观，但小朋友们可能会失望。

Sample answer:
The discussion is between two students. The male student is going to take some children to the museum, but his car is broken. His classmate – the female student suggests he borrow his friend Bob’s car ‘cause he just bought a new one. She also suggests he take the children to the museum some other day until he gets his car fixed. I think the second idea serves his purpose because it would be better ‘cause he wouldn’t bring trouble to his friend or worry about getting Bob’s car dirty or something. It is true that the children may become disappointed about not being there as scheduled, but they would understand if he expained his situation.
So if I were him, I would also try the second option.

【讲课要点】：商家经常有两种strategy。
1. 一种是在新产品刚刚问世的时候，重点强调产品的品质（high quality），用来吸引顾客。比如手机刚刚问世的时候。
2. 一种是lower price，当一个产品已经上市很久，同时已经有其他品牌的竞争时，商家就会用lower price 继续吸引顾客，lower price特别能够吸引那些起初不需要买那个产品或者打算买其他品牌的顾客,比如打印机等。

Sample answer:

The lecture tells about two strategies that companies often use to promote their products. One strategy is to stress the high quality of the type of products when they come into existence to attract the customers. The other one is to lower the price of the product. For example, when cellphones first came, they use this strategy to sell their products. The other stategy is to lower the price. When a certain type of product has been on sale for a long period of time and meanwhile competing with other brands, the company would lower the price to increase its sales volume ‘cause the lower price would attract those who don’t want to buy that type of product or have the idea of buying other brands. Then the professor takes printers as an example to illustrate this strategy.

Describe a social or political event in your culture.  与2008. 2. 16 重复

Sample answer:    (音频下载请点击附件ceremony.mp3)

A type of social event celebrated in my culture is the flag-raising ceremony on National Day. Oceans of (表示“许多”)people from all across the country come to Beijing the day before. They are very excited to see the ceremony with their own eyes instead of on TV. Some even have been planting this dream in their mind for years. They arrive around 6:00 early in the morning, waiting for the special moment. I guess they are all overwhelmed (震撼的) and thrilled (激动)by the wonderful scene at the time. On the other hand, the view of the honor guard parade is fantastic,
the guards are wearing the green military uniform and marching to Tianmen Square with a high spirit. Each birthday celebration of the great country always begin with such a solemn (庄严的) flag-raising ceremony, which strengthens the unity and motivation of its people.

Should government give financial support to build museums and theaters? State your opinion and explain why.
……
Sample answer:    (音频下载请点击附件museums & theaters.mp3)

In my point of view, government should provide funds to build museums and theaters because they serve as exhibition centers for people to know about the history and culture of the country.
The range of museums is fantastic—there are museums of ancient history and archaeology, of natural history and even museums for such things as transport and crime! And because the museums are constantly holding new exhibitions, there is always something different to see.
Theaters offer people a big place to enjoy a variety of operas and plays of different regions. Even the world’s best group come occasionally. Meanwhile, the building of the museums and theaters will enhance the cultural exchange between countries. They are also one of the contributing factors that promote the national economy.
That’s why I think it’s a good idea for government to help with the building of the museums and theaters.

Reading:
【学校通知】：astronomy professor的一封信，信中反对学校的“亮灯工程”（给building
装饰灯）.理由有两个：一是浪费钱，每月多花1000 dollar的电费；二是造成光污染，天文系观测不到星星了。

Listening: 【学生议论】：男生同意。原因有二：

1）花那么多钱，没有实际作用，只为了看！

2）望远镜观测不到星星，还不如把钱投到天文项目上去。

……
Sample answer:
The reading passage is a letter from an astronomy professor in which he expressed his negative opinion about the school’s keeping the decoration lights for building on the whole night through. He thinks it’s waste of money on one hand, and on the other hand, it produces light pollution.
In the listening material, we clearly learn that the man agrees with that professor. One reason he gives is that it’s unnecessary to spend so much money on decoration and there isn’t any practical use. Another reason is that students from the Astronomy Department won’t be able to use telescope to watch the stars. He also points out that the money would be spent on astronomy project.
Therefore, he disagrees with the lights-on project.

Reading:n【课文要点】关于印象管理impression management
Listening:【教授举例】举了两个例子：
1）同学做presentation时注意形象。
2）假设大学校长要搭他的车，他会先把后座清理，然后洗车，当校长上车时，放他本人并不喜欢听的古典音乐，以求博得好印象。

Sample answer:
In this set of materials, the reading passage gives a definition of impression management. It states that impression management is the process through which people try to control the impressions other people form of them.
In the listening passage, the professor gives a talk on it. He goes on to further explain that by giving two examples. First, a student may pay more attention to his image when he is going to give a presentation. Second, suppose the principal planned to get a ride in his car. He would clean the backseat and wash the car. He would also play the classic music that he doesn’t really like to leave a better impression.
By these means, he proves that people can manage the impressions to steer other’s opinions in the service of personal or social goals.

【学生困难】：女生找了一个研究助理的工作，但每天只让她做事务性的工作，比如复印，接电话什么，接触不到真正的生物研究

【解决方案】：男生给她两个建议：

1）让她去学生中心看招聘的lists，换个工作。

2）跟教授谈一下，换些和研究沾边的工作。

……
Sample answer:
The discussion is between two students. The female student is telling her friend about her problem at her job now. She is working as a research assistant, but just does office routines such as photocopying, faxing, transfering calls, etc. -----nothing related to the biological research. The male student suggests she browse the job lists at the student center and change a job. He also suggests she talk to the professor to do something relevant to the reseach. I think the second idea serves her purpose better ‘cause if she communicated with her professor , her professor would understand her idea and then would give her a different option. And if she really did something related to the research, she could connect her classroom studies with hands-on, real world experience.

【讲课要点】：讲moral persuasion.用一些方法向人们呼吁责任（appeal to duty。举了两个例子：
1. smokey bear（护林熊：森林防火标志, 是一头穿着护林人员制服的漫画熊),引起人们对保护动物的关注和敏感；
2. recycling campaign，鼓励人用分类垃圾桶装垃圾，说看到邻居这样做了，人们通常也会学着做。  

Sample answer:
The leture tells about moral persuasion. That is to use some ways to appeal to duty. Then the professor gives two examples to further explain it. First, he takes smokey bear for example. Smokey bear is a kind of bear for forest fire safety and prevention. They are used to arouse people’s attention and sensitivity about animal protection. Another example is recycling campaign. It is to encourage people to dump garbage into separate trash cans. When people see their neighbor do that, they will normally follow them.

T1. What do you like most about the city you live in?

Sample answer:
I now live in Beijing and I like it very much not only because it’s the place where I can feel the heartbeat of China, but it also offers me great opportunity to realize myself.

First, it gives me better job security. I have a great job here and I like what I’m doing ‘cause I can feel a sense of achievement.

Second, it equips me with cultural identy. Beijing spans history in a way and it likes to hold on to its traditions and its character （喜欢保持着它的传统与文化特色）even though it has been swept up in modernization.

Third, it has a lot of recreational facilities, like Beijing Amusement Park, Pleasure Vally, lots of Karaoke centers, theaters and cinemas. These are places where I can take my mind off work. That’s what I like about Beijing.

T2. Describe the place you most like to go.

Sample answer:

The place I most like to go is a Karaoke house. Karaoke is very popular in China. Men or women, young or old, they all like to go there for relaxation and I’m not the exception. I like to sing and singing along with the tune is quite different from throat-singing. That way I can learn a new song very quickly. What’s more, singing with friends is more relaxing. Especially when doing that in an interesting way, like the competitive game where men play against women, or one group against another, it’s more fun ‘cause the Karaoke house has the scoring system. That’s why I like to go to a Karaoke house.

Reading: 【学校通知】：食堂里放大屏幕电视要取消。

Listening: 【学生议论】：男生不同意。原因有二：

1) 食堂的relaxing地方。

2) 学生都是大人了，该去图书馆交流。

Sample answer:
In the reading material, the university is considering taking off the big-screen TV in the school cafeteria ‘cause sometimes students read there.

In the listening material, we clearly learn that the man doesn't like the idea. One reason he gives is that the school cafeteria is a relaxing place. Watching TV while eating is not necessarily a bad choice.
Another reason is that students should read and communicate in the library. He also points out that students would be able to handle this ‘cause they are already adults.
Therefore, he disagrees with that opinion.

T4.

Reading: 【课文要点】食物保存有两种途径：一种是低温，一种是保持干燥。
Listening:【教授举例】低温可以长期保存食物；干燥可以抑制细菌生长。

Sample answer:
In this set of materials, the reading passage explains two ways of preserving food. It states that one way is low temperature preservation; the other way is drying.
In the listening passage, the professor gives a talk on food preservation. He brings up the fact thatlow temperature or freezing can provide large volume, long-term storage for food stocks.
He goes on to further explain that reduction of water activity or drying can preventbacterial growth and allow food to be stored without any special containment for long periods.
By these means, he proves the two ways of preserving food.

T5.

【学生困难】：学校的一个期刊照片不够。

【解决方案】：有两个解决办法：

1）降低对照片的要求。

2）改变期刊的发行频率。

Sample answer:
This is a discussion between two students. They are discussing the problem of the school journal which is lack of photographs. The two students work out two solutions. One of the solutions they come up with is to lower the requirements of the photographs. The other solution is to change the issuing frequency of the periodical.
I tend to agree with the second solution because they will have more time to take good-quality photographs. If they cannot assure the quality of the photographs, they would have less and less readers.

T6.
【讲课要点】：讲一个动物行为habituation（适应性）的生物概念，即在自己的领地上对外来事物的反应。
1. 动物第一次见了东西，都害怕。
2. 后来熟悉了，就没事了。然后举了狗狗的例子。

Sample answer:

The lecture tells about a kind of animal behavior --- habituation. Habituation is a simple kind of learning involving loss of responsiveness to repetitive stimuli that do not reward or harm the animal. That is learning to disregard stimuli that are without significance to theanimal. Most animals inherit a response to be frightened by sudden and strong stimuli such as loud sounds, flashes of light, and the sudden intrusion of another animal.
For example, a dog may bark when the doorbell rings or the delivery person comes to the door．Gradually, the dog’s attention began to wane.

T1. Where do you like to go when you are with friends? And why?

Sample answer:       (音频下载请点击附件place-restaurant.mp3)

When I’m with friends, I like to go to the restaurant. We would head for some exotic
(异国的) restaurant where we would choose our favorite dishes. And also, it should be one of the restaurants where the waitresses do not talk too much or disturb you. I would like to find a secluded (隐蔽的) table just for 3 or 4, perhaps with a panoramic (全景的) view over a river or the lights of the city.

We would have some very mellow, warming red wine in sparkling glasses twinkling in the candlelight, the hues (色调) and aroma (香味) filling our senses. We would eat slowly and carelessly for the joy of sharing and of being together. Our senses heightened, breathing deeply to the point of silent sighs, we would enjoy an endless evening there.

That’s the right place where I don't want to end our gathering.

T2. Do you prefer eat out at a restaurant or at home? And why?

Sample answer:    (音频下载请点击附件eat home.mp3)
Some people prefer eating out at a restaurant because they can eat a variety of delicious food in restaurants. However, I think that preparing food and eating home would be better for 3 reasons.
First, home-cooked meals are always cheaper and cleaner. I don’t have to pay a lot for the food in a restaurant or worry about the sanitory standard.
Second, eating home allows for a free choice of food ‘cause each person has a private taste.
Third, eating at home is one of the best ways to enhance the relationship inside the family. A table is a good place where family members could talk about their happy day.
To conclude, I prefer eating home to eating out.

Reading:   【学校通知】学校发通知说新增加了公交路线经过学校，可以节省学生上学时间并且方便没有车的同学。

Listening: 【学生议论】一个女同学反对，原因有2个：一是环境和噪音污染，二是未必方便没有车的同学。

Sample answer:

In the reading material, the announcement saysmore bus service has been provided to campuses so that the students can save time and those who don’t own a car can take the advantage.
In the listening material, we clearly learn that the woman doesn't like the idea .One reason she gives is that more environmental pollution and noise pollution will be produced. Another reason is that may not necessarily serve those students who don’t have a car very well.

Therefore, she disagrees with that opinion.

T4.

Reading:【课文要点】art happening
Listening:【教授举例】就是一些艺术学校的学生在路上拦住行人在其脸上作画。

Sample answer:

In this set of materials, the reading passage explains art happening. It states that art happenings take place anywhere, are often multi-disciplinary, often lack a narrative and frequently seek to involve the audience in some way.

In the listening passage, the professor gives an example to further explain that. He brings up the fact thatstudents could normally stop passers-by to draw on their face.

By these means, he proves that a happening is a performance, event or situation meant to be considered as art and artists or art students like to share their art with everyone.

T5.

【学生困难】：女同学抱怨说她想选的Modern Literature太热门没得选了。

【解决方案】：教授给她两个建议：

1）先去上两三次课，等有人drop掉, 你就上。但女生说那个课太热从来就没人放弃。

2）明年再选。女生说不好，那个课每次只focus on一两个作家，这次是她喜欢的, 明年就不是了。男生说那就今年还是就去上上课先认识一下教授, 多交流搞好关系，说不定教授会指导thesis。

Sample answer:

This is a discussion between two students. The female student complains that she wasn’t able to register Modern Literature course because it’s too hot. The male student suggests she go to class a couple of times, waiting for someone else to drop or just to meet and communicate the professor in case that the professor may give some guidance to her thesis. He also suggests she take the course next year. I tend to agree with the second solution because she won’t get much out of the class if so many people are taking it. Also, she may still have the chance to learn about her favorite authors.


T6.
【讲课要点】：心理学，讲displacement,释放和转移怒火的方法。教授举了一个例子，如果你在生日那天希望你父母打个电话过来问候，结果却失望了，你烦。这时候你会有两种解决方法：
1) 第一种是消极的。当有人碰巧打错电话到你那的时候，你对他大发雷霆，怒火全部发到这个陌生人身上。
2) 第二种是积极的，你可以去做些户外运动例如骑车啊什么的，放松心情又锻炼身体，何乐而不为。

Sample answer:

The lecture tells about displacement. Displacement operates the mind subconsciously and involves emotions, ideas, or wishes being transferred from their original object to a more acceptable substitute.

The professor gives an example to further explain that. For instance, you expected your parents to give you a call on your birthday, but it turned out that they didn’t. Then you felt disappointed. At the moment, you would have two ways of reactions. One is negative; the other is positive. And just at that time, someone dialed your number by mistake. Then you would be very angry at him/her. That’s negative reaction. For the positive one, you may do some outdoor sports like bicycle riding to exercise your body and remove your mood. That’s killing two birds with one stone.
