听力原文:M: Good afternoon. I wonder if you could give me some information.
W: I'd be happy to. What can I do for you?
M: I just moved out here to the suburbs from the city. I know the library systems are different, so I want to apply for a library card here.
W: Certainly. Please fill out this card. Do you have any identification which shows your new address? I need to see something that verifies that you are a resident of the country.
M: How long will it take for me to get my new card?
W: Not long. We'll process your application and mall you your new card in about a week. In the meantime, you can have this temporary card which you may use exactly as a regular card.
M: You mean I can use it today to borrow books?
W: Yes. Are you familiar with our system?
M: I'm afraid not.
W: Well, we use a computerized system and you see those desk-top computer terminals over there? There are about a dozen of them throughout the library. We use them to locate our books. Come on. I'll show you how to use it.
M: I hope I don't have to have the skills of a computer programmer to be able to use it. All I want to do is to borrow some books.
W: It's easy. You can know the name of the book, the name of the author, or the subject. Let's try one as an example.
M: Thank you. I think I'll explore the whole library on my own in order to acquaint myself with all that you have.
W: Be my guest.

W: Yes I do and... well, my impression was that you were trying to connect argument after argument without any grounds to support each assertion.
M: But surely, you would agree that there simply isn't a lot of research out there to support my arguments.
W: Ah, but research is only one way to back up an argument.
M: May I know what other things I can use?
W: For starters, your experiences. Experiences form. the basis for conclusion. Then perhaps try to look at analogies to see all that can help you.
M: Are there any guidelines available on how I can use these experiences and analogies?
W: I did give a whole lecture on it dated February 7. You were there; weren't you?
M: Whoops, that was one that fell on the week I couldn't be there. I had to rush back home for personal reasons.
W: Well, perhaps on your next paper you'll know that every argument you make needs legs or your paper will remain on the ground.
M: Thanks, Mrs. Morse. It's all food for thought and you can bet the next one will have a solid base.
W: That's the spirit.
(1)

B.He provided too many personal experiences.
C.He provided too many analogies.
D.He didn't support his arguments enough.

M: No. Does it look like I've stopped eating? I've been spending a lot of time in the library.
W: Working on a paper?
M: I wish I was working on a paper! I'm working on three different papers: anthropology, English literature, and history.
W: Wow, that is a lot of work.
M: Yeah, and what's frustrating is that I'm studying the nineteenth century British Empire in all three classes, but I can't just write a single paper for all three.
W: Why not?
M: The professors won't let me even if I make it three times as long as the suggested length.
W: That's too bad. Could you write your papers on three aspects of one topic?
M: Hmm. What do you mean? Do you have something in mind?
W: Well, let's see. Hmm... Maybe you could do something with Romanticism, like, ohh.., write your anthropology paper on the cultural basis of Romanticism, and, uh, your history paper on the influence of the Romantic poets on British foreign policy, and, OK, and your English paper on an analysis of some Romantic poems. M: Hey, that's not a bad idea! I've already started the research for one of the papers, so I can use that. What can I do to repay you?
W: You want to write up my chemistry paper for me?
M: I'd love to, but I've never taken chemistry, so I'm not sure you'd like the results.
W: Oh well, no thanks necessary then. I'll do it myself. Have a good weekend, and try to get out of the library and get some sleep. You have big circles under your eyes.
M: OK, I'll try. See you later.
(23)
A.Writing papers for his classes.
B.Preparing for the coming exam in the library.
C.Doing extra work in the chemistry lab.

听力原文:M: Excuse me. I wonder if you could help me.
W: What can I do for you?
M: Well, I'm working on a term paper about the influence of television on American presidential elections.
W: Have you ever been to the main library?
M: Yes, I've found a few useful books there, but the reference librarian at the main library suggested that the library here at the graduate school have more specialized materials.
W: Okay. It depends on what you want. We do subscribe to a large number of journals. Since you're working on such a broad topic you'll probably have to do a lot of digging.
M: Do you think I can get something relevant here?
W: It may take some time, but you'll be able to find many articles relevant to your topic. We also have quite a few newspapers on microfilm.
M: I think I've come to the right place. How can I find out which journals you have?
W: There's a list of all of them. But if you want to search by author or by subject you can use one of the computers over there. Everything we have is in there.
M: What if I run across a reference to a research study that isn't available here?
W: You can request any outside materials just by typing your request into the computer.
M: You mean you can get materials from other universities?
W: Not only from other universities, but from virtually any public or private library in the United States. The only limitation is that outside materials can't be checked out.
(23)
A.To type some research materials.
B.To learn to use the computers there.
C.To get material not available at the main library.
D.To choose a topic for a term paper.
第6题
W: Does it have three bedrooms?
M: No. There are two. The master bedroom is quite spacious though. Maybe you could let the children share the larger room, and you and your husband could use the smaller one.
W: I suppose I could do that.
M: A three-bedroom apartment will be difficult to find.
W: Yes, I know. Believe me, I have been looking for over a week. The few three-bedroom apartments that I have found are either extremely expensive or the owner won't allow children as tenants.
M: Well, the owner allows two children in this apartment complex.
W: Aren't you the owner?
M: No. I am the manager. I live here, too, on the first floor of this building.
W: Oh. That's nice. Then if anything gets broken...
M: Just leave a note on my door.
W: You said that the rent would be 350 dollars a month. Does that include any of the utilities?
M: Yes. It includes gas. Your furnace and stove axe gas, so, as you can imagine, your other utilities, electric and water, are quite inexpensive.
W: This sounds better and better. But before I sign a lease I would like my husband to see it.
M: Why not stop by with him this evening?
W: How late are you open? He doesn't get off work until five.
M: Come by at six. I will still be in the office. I am sure that you are eager to move from the hotel, and if we get the paper work out of the way tonight, you can move in tomorrow.
W: Oh, that would be wonderful.
(23)
A.The woman's husband.
B.The owner of the apartment.
C.The apartment manager.
D.The tenant who occupies the apartment now.

听力原文:W: Good morning , I'm calling about the job that was in the paper last night.
M: Well, could you tell me your name?
W: Candidate Foreset.
M: Oh yes. What exactly is it that interests you about the job?
W: Well, I thought it was just right for me.
M: Really? Um... Could you tell me a little about yourself?
W: Yes. I'm 23. I've been working abroad.
M: Where exactly have you been working?
W: In Geneva.
M: Oh, Geneva. And what were you doing there?

M: Which university was that?
W: The University of Manchester. I've got a degree in English.
M: You said you've been working in Geneva.Do you have any special reason for wanting to come back?
W: I thought it would be nice to be nearer to the family.
M: I see, and how do you see yourself developing in this job?
W: Well, I'm ambitious. I do hope that my career as a secretary will lead me eventually into management.
M: I see. You have foreign languages?
W: French and Italian.
M: Well, I think the best thing for you to do is to reply a writing to the advertisement.
W: Can't I arrange for an interview now?
M: Well, I'm afraid we must wait until all the applications are in, in writing, and then decide on the short list. If you are on the short list, of course we should see you.
W: Oh, I see.
M: I look forward to receiving your application in writing in a day or two.
W: Oh, yes, yes, certainly. M: Ok, thank you very much. Goodbye.
W: Thank you. Goodbye.

M: I'd be pleased to. What can I do for you?
W: Suppose I want to find a book "Gone With The Wind" by Margaret Mitchell, would I look under Margaret and then under Mitchell until I come to the one who wrote the "Gone With The Wind" or would I simply look under the title through the catalogue myself?
M: Do you see those desk-top computer terminals over there? We now use them to locate our books. We think it's more efficient than the old card catalogue system. Come on, I'll show you how to use it. You decide what book you want and pick the microfiche with that letter on it. It's all in alphabetical order. You can know the name of the book, the name of the author or subject. They're all lumped together on the same sheet.
W: That sounds easy enough. Suppose I want to borrow "War and Remembrance" by Herman Work.
M: You could look under "W" for the title, then we'll look on the "H" sheet for the author. Turn on the light, then move the microfiche, and there it is. The "W" after the library code number tells you that it's here at the back branch of the library, rather than at one of our other branches.
W: Today, I just want to find a novel for some light reading. It strikes me that this novel "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck is what I should like to take.
M: You are perfectly right to decide upon that book It's very much in demand. Please fill out this card. Do you have any identification which shows your new address? I need to see something that verifies that you're a resident of the country ... All right now. I'll give you a list of all the branches before you go. These books may only be used here, and no one is permitted to borrow them.
W: I'll be here for five years, so I'd like to learn to use the library as efficiently as possible. I wonder if someone might have time to show me around.
M: With pleasure. These shelves right next to us have our latest acquisitions of fiction and nonfiction The older fiction books are in alphabetical row according to the author's last name. Stop by the desk on your way out to check your books and to pick up a brochure description of all our services.
W: Thank you very much for your help. I've noticed that your periodical section is quite complete. I think I'll explore the whole library on my own in order to acquaint myself with all that you have told me.

A.Secretary and Boss.
B.Teacher and Student

听力原文:W: Hi, Professor Higgins.
M: Hi, Julia.
W: [22] Would you be able to help me organize my essay?
M: Certainly. What topic have you chosen?
W: Women in Politics.
M: [23] That topic is very broad. I think you should narrow it down.
W: Do you think I could just do women in English speaking countries—say the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain?
M: Well, that would be better.
W: I am interested in the pattern of political involvement of women in those western democracies. With New Zealand and Australia leading the way, women in those countries had the vote soon after the end of World War I.
M: [24] It would be good to begin with a discussion of when women got the fight to vote and how they use it.
W: The record of women in politics in all those countries has been similar. None of them has women represented more than 10 percent of members of the national legislature.
M: Remember, it is not what you think. [23] You must back up your opinions with facts. Support for all your ideas is essential. I think you should check the statistics on what percentage of women hold political office in the national governments.
W: Okay, I also plan to discuss the role of organized women's fights.
M: That is a good idea, but remember this term-paper is only 5,000 words so [23] you must keep your topic focused.
W: Could I bring you a rough draft next week?
M: [25] I would prefer if you broughht an outline, breaking down your main topics and subtopics. It may be a good idea to bring some of your reference materials along.
W: Sure, I will do that. Thank you very much.

A.Narrow down the topic of her article.

C.Provide some facts for her opinion.
D.Give her some advice on writing a paper.

W: Oh, please be serious! I suppose they will change shapes as well. If you want a big car to take all your friends camping, I suppose you'll just be able to snap your fingers and make it happen. Or if you want a sporty two-seater, you could just tell the car what you wanted, and it would do the rest. Is that how it will work?
M: No, I am serious. They have found a way to alter the surface of metals so that they can reflect different colors just by passing a small amount of electricity over them.
W: Oh, I see. So anything that touches the outside of the car will get a shock. That sounds lovely.
M: It's only a tiny amount of electricity. It wouldn't be enough to shock anybody.
W: Well, it sounds pretty difficult to believe.
M: Yes, it's quite amazing. The important thing you have to remember is that the color of an object is really just an illusion created by the way light bounces off its surface. Engineers have been able to produce a car that changes colors at the touch of a button by slightly rearranging the position of the particles on the surface of the metal.
W: It sounds so amazing. But I guess it could be possible.
M: It is possible today. The only problem is that it is very expensive. To produce a car with a surface that changed colors would cost almost twice as much as what a regular car costs. For that much money you could just by the car and have it repainted twenty times, so it's not very practical yet.
W: Yes, but in other ways it could be more practical. If you took your car to be painted twenty times, it would use quite a bit of polluting chemicals, and it would take a long time.
M: You're right there, but how many people really get their car repainted that many time?
W: Hmm, I suppose you're right, but I sure would love to have my car match my outfit every day.
(26)
A.She is impressed.
B.She is doubtful.
C.She is shocked.
D.She is surprised.

The perfect state of flow, Csikszentmihalyi explains,【C4】______when our skills exactly measure up to the challenges confronting us.【C5】______, says Csikszentmihalyi, the way to get a dull but simple job done easily is to make it harder. Turn a boring task into a challenging game, so that you【C6】______all your potential. Invent rules,【C7】______goals,【C8】______yourself against a clock. This increased challenge may be what pushes you into your【C9】______.
I was once asked to write an introduction to a【C10】______of articles on lawsuit. Words came slowly as I【C11】______away at a topic that didn't inspire me. I made【C12】______trips to the coffeepot.

I not only accept the challenge, but added one of my own: Could every paragraph begin with J? Using such words as Justice and Jurisprudence(法学), I managed nine paragraphs. By【C14】______my attention, the contest sped up the task.
Talk to yourself. As you【C15】______that drip irrigation system in your rose bed, tell yourself, "The line to the hose bib goes here. About six feet, then the first emitter(喷嘴)..." Verbalizing keeps your mind on the task,【C16】______the steps you're taking, and reminds you of what needs to be done.
Self talk can also serve as "white noise," taking your mind off【C17】______stimuli. A young ski racer,【C18】______by spectators and blowing snow, was having a disappointing competition when his coach pulled him【C19】______. "Look ahead," the coach said, reminding the skier to【C20】______on the gates ahead as he skied the ones before. Repeating the phrase like a spell(咒语): "Look ahead, look ahead, look ahead"—the skier focused his attention and won a medal.
