question 31 through 34:
* john, have you chosen a physical education class yet for this semester?
* no. why?
* you ve got to take rock-climbing. we just had the first class and it looks like it gonna to be great. * you think i should take rock-climbing? you ve got to be kidding. besides, how can they teach rockclimbing when it s completely flat around here?
* that s not important. you can t just start climbing without any training. you had to get in shape, learn how to use the ropes, the belts, the buckles, there s a lot of preparation first.
* you don t think it s just a little bit dangerous?
* not if you know how to use the safety equipment, which is, by the way,
pretty
hi-tech. the ropes are made of elastic fabrics that stretch a little , the shoes have special grapes on the bottom and the helmets are made of some kind of special plastic. you have to learn how to use all these before you do any real climbing.
* well, what s the appeal? we ll spend the whole semester studying something we don t actually get to do.
* we will take a climbing trip during spring break. but that s not the point. climbing is not the only goal. in preparing to climb you learn patience, mental discipline and you gain fantastic physical strength, especially in your hands. for the first few weeks we re going to concentrate entirely on hand and upper body exercises.
* all that in one sport? maybe you are right. since it s not too late to join the class, maybe i will.

* hi, sally. this is phil.
* great to hear from you, phil. how have you been doing?
* to tell the truth. i m very worried about our final examinations next month. for one thing, i can t sleep.
* i sympathize. i went through the same thing last year.
* that s exactly why i m calling you. do you have any suggestions for coping with anxiety? you know how i hate exams.
* well, last year the university offered a stress management course at about this time. have you been in contact with the student help services?
* no. i haven t had time.
* funny, isn t it? just when students need help most we can t afford time to get it.
* well, perhaps i should find out more about this stress management course since i ve got to get better.
* i suggest you call the health services tomorrow. they open at
9 a.m.
* thanks, sally. i ll let you know how it goes.
* best of luck. and have a good night sleep.

question 40 through 43 a museum guide about a museum exhibit.we ve just seen two contemporary large birds that cannot fly---the emu and the ostrich. over here is an interesting specimen from the past. this stuffed animal is not the giant penguin as it appears to be. but an auk. this particular kind of auk is very rare, only 78 skeins are known to exist. and most are not preserved as well as this one. the great auk ,as you can see, was a rather large bird and it couldn t fly either. however evidence suggests that the auk was an excellent swimmer and diver. unfortunately those abilities didn t protect it from being easy prey for hungry sailors who years ago sailed the very cold and often icy waters of greenland, iceland and scotland. in fact records indicate that the auk was rather tasty and that its eggs and feathers were useful as well. still it isn t clear what other factors led to the big bird s demise around 1844, the last time anyone reported seeing one. of course, we believe it s important to take extra precautions to preserve the remaining great auk skeins. after all this specimen should prove invaluable for future scientific research. does anyone have any questions before we move on to our next bird exhibit?
q40. what is the talk mainly about?
q41. why was it easy to capture auks?
q42. why did the sailors hunt the auk?
q43. where did the auk live?
question 44 through 46 presentation in a geology class.
i d like to begin by thanking dr. cane for inviting me to be here today. although i m not a geologist, i have been collecting minerals for years. my collection is really diverse because i ve traveled all over the world to find them. today i ve brought a few specimens for you to see. after i discuss each one, i ll pass it around so that you can look at it more closely. as you know, feldspars are the most abundant minerals and they are divided into a number of types. these first samples are orthoclases. notice that they vary in color from white to pink to red. this glassy one is found in volcanic rock. in fact i found it in new mexico on a collecting trip. this next sample that i ll pass around is a microcline mineral, also called amazon stone. you could identify it by a bright green color. it s often used in jewelry and really is quite attractive. these final samples are all plagioclase feldspars. many plagioclases are very rare so i m particularly proud of the variety in my collection. i ve also brought a few slides of some larger mineral samples and if you turn on the lights now i d like to show them to you.
q44. what are the students doing as they listen to the speaker?
q45. how did the speaker acquire all her minerals?
q46. why is the speaker proud of her plagioclase feldspars?
question 47 through 50 a talk in a national park.
welcome to yellow stone national park. before we begin our nature walk today, i d like to give you a short history of our national park service. the national park service began in the late 1800s. a small group of explorers had just completed a month long exploration of the region that is now yellow stone. they gathered around the campfire and after hours of discussion, they decided that they should not claim this land for themselves. they felt it should be accessible to everyone so they began a campaign to preserve this land for everyone s enjoyment. two years later, in the late 19century, an act of congress signed by president ulysses s. grant, proclaimed the yellow stone region a public park. it was the first national park in the world. after yellow stone became a public park, many other areas of great scenic importance were set aside. and in 1916 the national park service was established to manage these parks. as a park ranger, i am an employee of the national park service. in the national park, park rangers are on duty at all the times to answer questions and help visitors in any difficulty. nature walks, guided tours and campfire talks are offered by specially trained staff members. the park service also protect the animals and plants within the parks.
q47. who is the speaker?
q48. according to the speaker, who originated the idea of the public park?
q49. what does the speaker say about yellow stone national park?
q50. according to the speaker, what is one of the duties of a park ranger？

q35-37 conversation between two students.
* 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 happened to be 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 thought that a bump in a certain place on the head meant that the person has 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 scientific basis for phrenology, it is true that the head is the center of control for the rest of the body.
* i guess you are right. scientists now know that different parts of the brain control different parts of the body.
* yes. and i wouldn t be surprised that the if scientists one day discover that certain aspects of phrenology have scientific applications.
35. what is the source of the woman s information?
36. according to phrenology, what determines a person s character?

q38-42 talk given in a library science class.
in the early 1800s, the paper industry was still using rags as its basic source of fiber 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 fiber 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 first 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 involves 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 paper to less than a century for paper made from wood 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 fine condition. this is bad enough for the older books on your bookshelf but it poses a huge problem for libraries and the collections of government documents.
38. what does the speaker mainly discuss?
39. why did the paper industry need a new source of fiber in the early 1800s?
40. what can inferred about the first wood pulp mill in canada?

43-47 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 weekend. although some calendars still mark the beginning of a week as sunday, more and more of us are coming to regard monday as the first day of the week with saturday and sunday comprising the two-day period thought as the week-end. 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 off from their jobs. this innovation became common in the united states in the 1920s, but as the workweek 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 five eight-ho
ur 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 affect did some people think the increasing use of automation would have?
q48-50 a professor talking to her music students
i don t think i have told you about my trip to tanglewood s music festival. when i was in college, i won a music competition and the prize was a week at tanglewood. anyway it is one of the world s most famous music festivals and the summer home of the boston symphony orchestra. it is located in the beautiful berkshire hills in new england. the summer musical season consists of about fifty concerts given over about nine weeks: from july 1st through the first week in september. the biggest stars on the music scene appear here. the year i went i was lucky enough to see leonard bernstein 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 some nights are 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 somebody donated a family estate as a permanent home. after that things really took off. and the festival has gotten 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. according to the professor, what is the disadvantage of sitting on the lawn?
50. what does the professor imply about the festival?

question 31 through 34:
* john, have you chosen a physical education class yet for this semester?
* no. why?
* you ve got to take rock-climbing. we just had the first class and it looks like it gonna to be great. * you think i should take rock-climbing? you ve got to be kidding. besides, how can they teach rockclimbing when it s completely flat around here?
* that s not important. you can t just start climbing without any training. you had to get in shape, learn how to use the ropes, the belts, the buckles, there s a lot of preparation first.
* you don t think it s just a little bit dangerous?
* not if you know how to use the safety equipment, which is, by the way,
pretty
hi-tech. the ropes are made of elastic fabrics that stretch a little , the shoes have special grapes on the bottom and the helmets are made of some kind of special plastic. you have to learn how to use all these before you do any real climbing.
* well, what s the appeal? we ll spend the whole semester studying something we don t actually get to do.
* we will take a climbing trip during spring break. but that s not the point. climbing is not the only goal. in preparing to climb you learn patience, mental discipline and you gain fantastic physical strength, especially in your hands. for the first few weeks we re going to concentrate entirely on hand and upper body exercises.
* all that in one sport? maybe you are right. since it s not too late to join the class, maybe i will.

* i sympathize. i went through the same thing last year.
* that s exactly why i m calling you. do you have any suggestions for coping with anxiety? you know how i hate exams.
* well, last year the university offered a stress management course at about this time. have you been in contact with the student help services?
* no. i haven t had time.
* funny, isn t it? just when students need help most we can t afford time to get it.
* well, perhaps i should find out more about this stress management course since i ve got to get better.

question 40 through 43 a museum guide about a museum exhibit.we ve just seen two contemporary large birds that cannot fly---the emu and the ostrich. over here is an interesting specimen from the past. this stuffed animal is not the giant penguin as it appears to be. but an auk. this particular kind of auk is very rare, only 78 skeins are known to exist. and most are not preserved as well as this one. the great auk ,as you can see, was a rather large bird and it couldn t fly either. however evidence suggests that the auk was an excellent swimmer and diver. unfortunately those abilities didn t protect it from being easy prey for hungry sailors who years ago sailed the very cold and often icy waters of greenland, iceland and scotland. in fact records indicate that the auk was rather tasty and that its eggs and feathers were useful as well. still it isn t clear what other factors led to the big bird s demise around 1844, the last time anyone reported seeing one. of course, we believe it s important to take extra precautions to preserve the remaining great auk skeins. after all this specimen should prove invaluable for future scientific research. does anyone have any questions before we move on to our next bird exhibit?
q40. what is the talk mainly about?
q41. why was it easy to capture auks?
q42. why did the sailors hunt the auk?
q43. where did the auk live?
question 44 through 46 presentation in a geology class.
i d like to begin by thanking dr. cane for inviting me to be here today. although i m not a geologist, i have been collecting minerals for years. my collection is really diverse because i ve traveled all over the world to find them. today i ve brought a few specimens for you to see. after i discuss each one, i ll pass it around so that you can look at it more closely. as you know, feldspars are the most abundant minerals and they are divided into a number of types. these first samples are orthoclases. notice that they vary in color from white to pink to red. this glassy one is found in volcanic rock. in fact i found it in new mexico on a collecting trip. this next sample that i ll pass around is a microcline mineral, also called amazon stone. you could identify it by a bright green color. it s often used in jewelry and really is quite attractive. these final samples are all plagioclase feldspars. many plagioclases are very rare so i m particularly proud of the variety in my collection. i ve also brought a few slides of some larger mineral samples and if you turn on the lights now i d like to show them to you.

question 47 through 50 a talk in a national park.
welcome to yellow stone national park. before we begin our nature walk today, i d like to give you a short history of our national park service. the national park service began in the late 1800s. a small group of explorers had just completed a month long exploration of the region that is now yellow stone. they gathered around the campfire and after hours of discussion, they decided that they should not claim this land for themselves. they felt it should be accessible to everyone so they began a campaign to preserve this land for everyone s enjoyment. two years later, in the late 19century, an act of congress signed by president ulysses s. grant, proclaimed the yellow stone region a public park. it was the first national park in the world. after yellow stone became a public park, many other areas of great scenic importance were set aside. and in 1916 the national park service was established to manage these parks. as a park ranger, i am an employee of the national park service. in the national park, park rangers are on duty at all the times to answer questions and help visitors in any difficulty. nature walks, guided tours and campfire talks are offered by specially trained staff members. the park service also protect the animals and plants within the parks.
q47. who is the speaker?

q35-37 conversation between two students.
* 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 happened to be 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 thought that a bump in a certain place on the head meant that the person has 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 scientific basis for phrenology, it is true that the head is the center of control for the rest of the body.
* i guess you are right. scientists now know that different parts of the brain control different parts of the body.
* yes. and i wouldn t be surprised that the if scientists one day discover that certain aspects of phrenology have scientific applications.

q38-42 talk given in a library science class.
in the early 1800s, the paper industry was still using rags as its basic source of fiber 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 fiber 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 first 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 involves 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 paper to less than a century for paper made from wood 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 fine condition. this is bad enough for the older books on your bookshelf but it poses a huge problem for libraries and the collections of government documents.

43-47 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 weekend. although some calendars still mark the beginning of a week as sunday, more and more of us are coming to regard monday as the first day of the week with saturday and sunday comprising the two-day period thought as the week-end. 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 off from their jobs. this innovation became common in the united states in the 1920s, but as the workweek 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 five eight-ho

q48-50 a professor talking to her music students
i don t think i have told you about my trip to tanglewood s music festival. when i was in college, i won a music competition and the prize was a week at tanglewood. anyway it is one of the world s most famous music festivals and the summer home of the boston symphony orchestra. it is located in the beautiful berkshire hills in new england. the summer musical season consists of about fifty concerts given over about nine weeks: from july 1st through the first week in september. the biggest stars on the music scene appear here. the year i went i was lucky enough to see leonard bernstein 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 some nights are 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 somebody donated a family estate as a permanent home. after that things really took off. and the festival has gotten 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. according to the professor, what is the disadvantage of sitting on the lawn?
50. what does the professor imply about the festival?
