听力原文：Academic adviser How do you do, Miss Wu？ Please have a seat. Student It is very nice to see you! Thank you. Academic adviser Now then, let us look at your transcript. Student OK! Here you are! Academic adviser It is very clear and solid. You have your Bachelor of Arts in English and now you want to get your Masters in Education, right？ Student Right. I got my Bachelor of Arts in English last year. Academic adviser Why do you want to get Masters in Education？ Student Because I am interested in Education. But I dont know what 111 need. Academic adviser You will need 36 credit hours, of which 15 must be from the English Department and 15 from the Education Department. For the remaining six credit hours, you can either write a thesis or take two selected courses. Student You mean that 36 credit hours are the minimum？ Right now, this is very confusing to me, but I am sure it will straighten out in my mind as I learn more about it. Academic adviser Let us program your courses. Since you have had English Literature, you should take American Literature and American Prose and Fiction. Your transcript. indicates that your English background is strong, so I dont think you will have any problem with it. Student OK! I loved English Literature and got an A. I am also interested in studying American Prose and Fiction. How many credits can I get for each course？ Academic adviser Three. You should also take two three-credit courses in the Education Department. I suggest Educational Psychology and Audiovisual Methods and Aids. That will give you 12 hours altogether which is the minimum for a full-time student. Student Excuse me. Actually I am a part-time student. I am sorry I dont have enough time to take all the courses, although m attracted by them. So I would like to audit one course. Academic adviser Thats right. You have been appointed Assistant Head Resident at Western. How many hours do you have to work？ Student Twelve hours a week. Since this is my first time in the United States, I dont want to fail any classes and would therefore prefer a somewhat lighter program. In addition, I am a part-time student, so it is very hard for me to select all the courses. In order to pass the exams smoothly, have to choose lighter ones. Academic adviser That is correct. In fact you must maintain a B average to earn your Masters. In other words, if you get a C, you will need an A to balance it out. If you get a D, it takes two As to raise it to a B average. Student Oh! My goodness! It is so complex. I definitely dont want to get any Ds or Fs. Academic adviser Yes, you are right. Student Id better go slowly but surely, like the tortoise in the fable. Academic adviser That is a good idea. Which course do you want to audit？ Student American Prose and Fiction. Academic adviser Are you aware that even though you wont receive any credit for an audited course, you still pay the same for the other courses？ Student Yes, I am. I know that the professor will keep track of my attendance, but I wont have to do any papers or take any exams. Academic adviser Fine. You are set now. Jim will show you to the Administration building. Good luck, and I hope you will enjoy studies here at Miami. Student Thank you. I am sure I will.Narrator Listen to a conversation between a student and a academic adviser. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.

听力原文： Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is...uh...performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have...sort of um...conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comments, and.., uh...very likely have our views challenged by other members of society. Face-to-face contact is... is... by no means the only form. of communication, and during the last two hundred years, the art of mass communication has become...uh...one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly OK... inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly uh...speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news. OK...so uh, lets say, no longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century, the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago.., uh... people used to flock to the cinemas, but now, far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into millions of homes. Communication is... uh... no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are...ok...all involved with informing, educating and entertaining. Um, although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modem network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no... no... turning back. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.Narrator Listen to part of a lecture in a mass media class. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.

Clipper Ships Clipper ships are small, lightweight vessels with three masts that boast a massive array of sails which allow them to move extremely quickly. The name "clipper" is thought to come from the fact that the bow of such a ship seems to cut through water as it advances, something also true of older types of ship. Certainly, people were using the expression "to go at a good clip" to mean "to travel quickly" long before the advent of the clipper ship, so the explanation seems to make sense. In fact, it is difficult to date the emergence of the first true clipper, since the word was liberally applied to several speedy ships from the early 19th century that did not possess the technical specifications to qualify as clippers under the later definition of the term. What is known, however, is that by the 1840s, several shipyards were engaged in building vessels that were recognizably clipper ships. The great advantage of the clipper ship was its speed. A decently built clipper ship could routinely cover 250 miles per day, and with good winds, would often travel much faster, in some cases surpassing 400 miles per day. This made the clipper ideal for transporting people from one place to another, since prolonged sea voyages at that time were unpleasant and risky. The clippers were also used to transport freight, but in a more limited fashion, since clippers had considerably less cargo space than ordinary freighters of the time. (A) This meant that it was often cheaper to transport durable goods, such as furniture and jewelry, on regular ships that could carry a greater amount of cargo, even if it took longer for that cargo to reach its destination. (B) However, for perishable goods, such as spices and teas which would lose their potency over time, clippers proved an immensely profitable method of transport. (C) Clippers were also pressed into service in situations where time was viewed as more valuable than money. This was the case at the time of the California gold rush, when gold-crazed individuals were determined to be the first to reach what they hoped would be prime prospecting locations. (D) The clipper ship was also used for less respectable activities. Because its great speed meant that it could outrun or overtake virtually any other type of seafaring vessel known at the time, clippers became the ships of choice for pirates and smugglers. Pirates would use clippers to chase down slower, heavier freighters, then board their victims, transfer the most valuable pieces of cargo to the clipper, and make a speedy getaway before the authorities could get there. Smugglers could more easily conceal small clippers from prying eyes than they could large sloops, and if discovered, they had a much greater chance of successfully fleeing pursuit. This in turn forced coastal and military authorities to make use of clipper ships as well, simply to keep up with the criminal element. As a result, clippers also became favorites of maritime authorities and privateers. The term "privateers" refers to those who crewed ships that were legally entitled by their governments to attack vessels in the service of foreign powers with whom those governments were at war. Unfortunately, privateers operated essentially unsupervised, and it was not uncommon for clippers initially commissioned to guard the seas to turn pirate if the Crew saw an opportunity for a quick profit. The era of the clipper was fairly short-lived. Clippers began being built just before the advent of steam-powered boats. These steam-powered boats quickly replaced clippers as the vessels of choice for traders, not because they were faster, since they initially werent, but because they were much more reliable. A clipper, fast as it was, could only make good time with the wind behind it. Headwinds would slow it considerably, and no wind at all would leave it helplessly adrift. A steam boat would often take longer to reach its destination than a clipper would have done, but reach its destination it would, regardless of the strength and direction of the prevailing winds. The opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 was the final nail in the coffin of commercial clippers, since only steamboats could easily navigate the canal, which shaved thousands of miles off of the journey between Europe and Asia. In addition, clipper ships were notoriously short-lasting vessels, and most were junked well before reaching twenty years of service, much sooner than the average steamboat. For all of these reasons, by the turn of the 20th century, clipper production had all but ceased.
