Questions 下列各 are based on the following passage. I dont ever want to talk about bei
ng a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people askedconstantly for stories about what its like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling thosestories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do fred interesting is the origin of the universe, theshape of space-time and the nature of black holes. At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in theclassroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started tobother me. My every achievement--jobs, research papers, awards--was viewed through the lens of gender (性 别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain.versus (相对于)fight brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind. Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply toany and all provocations: I dont falk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19and to realize that I didnt want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burdenon every female scientist？ After all, I dont study sociology or political theory. Today I research and teach at Barnard, a womens college in New York City. Recently, someone asked mehow many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer:45. I know some 9fmY students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. AndI dont dismiss those concerns. Still, I dont tell them "war" stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual oftheir physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of45 women driven by a love of science. And thats a sight worth talking about. Why doesnt the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again？

听力原文：Narrator Listen to a conversation between a student and a professor. Student Go
od morning, Professor Thompson. I know your office hours are this afternoon, but I was wondering if you could spare me a few minutes now cause I have classes this afternoon. Professor Sure, Susan. What do you want to talk to me about？ Student Well...to tell you the truth, Im not doing what I wanna do, I mean I dont like my major very much. Electrical Engineering isnt the sort of thing that attracts me. And I am at a loss what to do. What should I consider if I wanna choose another major？ Professor Good Question! The most efficient way to pick a major would be to ask yourself: What do I love to do？ One of my friends, for instance, started out as a microbiology major because he wanted to earn a comfortable living when he graduated. Then, in his junior year, he realized he loved history above all else, changed his major, and is now a history professor. Student Yeah, youre right, yknow, actually I was keen on Literature, but my mother, an engineer, talked me into taking this major. Professor Well, dont live someone elses dream. Its your time to be in college. Its your career in the making. Dont let someone else dictate what you should major in. My mother, a doctor, really pushed me to be a doctor. I cant think of anything Id hate more! Nothing is worse than to work for a career you dont like for your whole life! Student Yeah, but urn...um...the thing is...the thing is I am afraid of making a wrong decision again. Professor Remember, you dont have to decide right away. Go ahead and get those pesky general education requirements out of the way and, who knows- you might find something in your genned classes that you decide to major in! Most colleges dont insist that you declare a major right away, so take advantage of that. And remember, you can always change your mind. Thats my personal opinion. You can also ask other people, for example, advisors at our university whose job is to help you answer this question with their skills and expertise. You may either go to a faculty adviser who will provide ongoing advice and guidance on program selection, course registration, credit load, deadlines, and majors and minors, or to an academic adviser who can provide support, guidance, and appropriate referrals for students experiencing academic or personal difficulties while studying at our university. Student In fact, Ive already asked Dr. lasenza. But she had a different view. She said once youve chosen a major, then find the specific degree path that gets you out of school the fastest as possible. She said she knew a lot of people were going but what if I dont like it or I dont want to work in that field. Well to those questions the answer is easy: work at what you like but save as much time and money as possible on your degree. She also said that the majority of highly successful people didnt go to college, didnt finish college, or dont work in the area of their degree...so...um...it makes no sense to put any more money than necessary to obtain the degree. Once you graduate and move to your actual career that is where your real education will begin. Professor Eh...that might be reasonable, but what I want to say is: be honest with yourself. A potentially huge income in a field that...you know...will bore you or make you miserable isnt worth it. I forget who said it, but heres the best advice I can give: "Do what you love, and you will never work a day in your life!" Student Ok, I see, I guess now I have to ponder what really matters. Thank you very much, Professor, for your advice. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer. 7. What are the speakers mainly discussing？ 8. Why does the student visit the professor？ 9. What does the professor imply when he says this？ Professor Well, dont live someone elses dream. Its your time to be in college. Its your career in the making. Dont let someone else dictate what you should major in. 10. What can be inferred from Dr. lasenzas response to the student？ Student She said...work at what you like but save as much time and money as possible on your degree. 11. What can be inferred about the professor when he says this？ Professor Eh...that might be reasonable, but what I want to say is: be honest with yourself.

B Hi, Sally! You look so depressed. Anything wrong？ Student A Im really worried about paying my tuition for the next term at school. Student B Why？ Are you having financial problems？ Student A Yeah. School fees are getting so high. I may have to cut back on my classes and work more hours to earn more. Student B I understand why you are worried about that. Every year it seems to me that more students worry about tuition. Student A I agree. And its hard to study full-time and hold down any kind of job. Student B Have you thought about applying for financial aid？ Student A You know, I have, but the real problem is that so many people apply and theres just not enough financial aid available. Student B Have you thought about other ways？ Student A What do you mean？ Is there any other way to solve this problem？ Student B Maybe you could qualify for some kind of student loan that you would repay after you finish studying. You should go to the financial aid office and see what the requirements are. Student A I suppose thats true. Sometimes I wish the cost of education was completely covered by the government. It would sure make my life easier. Student B Maybe, but somebody would still be paying for it. Just not you right now. And I am sure you dont want to pay higher taxes to cover the cost. Student A The real problem is that you just cant give everybody what they want. More services and programs always mean more taxes. Student B Dont you think thats true everywhere, and in a lot of different situations？ Im sure were not the only ones who are worried about this. Student A Oh, I think its quite clear that a lot of people worry about this. Student B Yeah. Thats true. Everybody would like to have a good education and thus has to pay. Student A With a good education becoming more and more necessary to get a good job, I think more people will need to worry about this in the future. I cant even pay for myself! How am I supposed to save up to pay for my kids to go to school？ Student B Hey, when you find the answer to that one, be sure to tell me! You could make a lot of money selling that piece of advice. Student A Ha, ha! That would be wonderful! Student B So just cheer up! Nothing is insolvable. Student A Well, Ive just got to try! Thanks! Student B Dont mention it.

听力原文：Narrator Listen to part of a lecture in a geography class. Professor Were gon
na look at the effects of global warming on a particular country to get this thing into context and I want to look at Australia, a country with 12 000 kilometers of coastline. Theres a whole series of problems. What I mean by that is uh... in a country like this, well, there are floods, droughts, cyclones, bushfires, landslides, earthquakes, soil degradation and...so on you name it, weve got it! OK. Now on your handouts theres a list of reading materials which you should have a look at in preparation for your tutorials next week. Id particularly recommend The Greenhouse Effect by Henderson-Sellers and Blong—theyre very good on the Australian situation. If you...for general background, Lovelocks is good, and the book edited by Pearman offers a nice review of greenhouse issues in Australia. Ive put them in Special Reserve, so you shouldnt have any trouble finding them. Okey...so Im gonna start today by looking at one of the most serious effects of a change in the global temperature that is, a rise in sea-level and...as I said, Im gonna concentrate today on the effects this would have on the Australian context. If we assume that therell be a meter or so rise in sea-level over uh...say, the next fifty years but unfortunately, the situations not so clear because weve got to take into consideration a variety of scenarios such as increased precipitation at the poles which might actually cause a fall in sea-level. Anyway, taking this figure of a meter rise over, say, the fifty or so years, what are we going to see？ Well, well see an effect on flooding of structures on the coast you know, house, sea walls, ports and the whole infrastructure of roads, rails, power lines and cables, and so on. Secondly, were gonna be seeing shoreline retreat in some low-lying areas. The sea will move inland in areas...such as the Gulf of Carpentaria. To put it another way, in low-lying urban areas, your nice beachfront apartment may just end up floating away and your parking lot two hundred meters from the beach will end up as a prime waterfront estate. Most Australian cities are on the coast and in the case of Brisbane in particular well, take a look at this overhead. Thats roughly the area indicated by the blue line thats gonna be affected with a one meter rise in sea-level. So if youre thinking of investing in real estate in this area, take my advice dont! Again, though, its difficult to predict the situation. Local conditions in some areas may actually increase the deposit of materials affecting an extension of the land. But whichever way you look at it therell be a fairly radical change to many eco-systems, and if you recall last weeks lecture on change well, were really opening a can of worms here. Apart from coastal flooding, we should also expect the penetration of salt water systems into estuaries, rivers and lagoons. If you think about the Myall Lakes system for example well, the whole freshwater complex could be reunited with the sea. One of the most serious direct consequences of this for man of course would be seepage into the groundwater in other words, the seas salt water would enter the water table under the land. This would cause salinity in sources of drinking water and irrigation. Thirdly, we should expect to see a rise in temporary flooding of coastal areas. Im not talking about flooding as a result of increased rainfall, though thats another consideration Ill come to it later. For now, Im talking about flooding as a result of higher tides. Think about it, the swamping of the storm water drainage system. Whats that gonna do to the street youre living in？ So, in summary, as weve seen youve got coastal flooding, destruction of coastal structures, shoreline shifts and salt water intrusion. Ill come back to some of these later, but for now, lets move on and look at tropical cyclones. Everyone remembers Tracy. Or maybe you dont because that is going back to 1974. Im getting a bit old. Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer. 18. What is the lecture mainly about？ 19. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a direct effect of the rise in sea-level？ 20. What does "temporary flooding of coastal areas" mean？ 21. What does the professor imply when she says this？ Professor ...your parking lot two hundred meters from the beach will end up as a prime waterfront estate. Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question. Professor But whichever way you look at it therell be a fairly radical change to many eco-systems, and if you recall last weeks lecture on change—well, were really opening a can of worms here. 22. Why does the professor say this？ Professor well, were really opening a can of worms here. Listen again to part of the lecture. Then answer the question.

听力原文： Collecting information about pre-employment and filling out an application fo
rm. are closely connected. However, filling out an application form. is much easier because you have total control and have enough time to think and plan. That you are given a form. to fill out does not necessarily mean you have to answer all the questions in it. If the form. contains unclear questions or terms and conditions, you can make some changes before signing it, or refuse to answer some of the questions. What you must realise is that those terms and conditions have been written by highly-paid lawyers. Each word is important, or it would not be there; and you can be sure that there is not anything there that is written with your interests in mind. I know what I speak of, because as a lawyer for Litton Industries, I wrote the terms and conditions that were printed on the back of order forms. I wrote the most tiring terms and conditions anyone has ever seen. Still, 90 percent of the buyers would just sign on them without questioning anything. If anyone questions them, we would reach an agreement on something that was acceptable to both sides. So when you see a preprinted application that contains questions or terms and conditions, read it all and read it slowly. If you dont like something, you can simply change the parts you dont like. Remember that everything can be settled by discussion. To what degree it can be settled depends on your position, of course, and that is something only you can determine. Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard. 16. Why is filling out application forms much easier？ 17. What can we learn from the expression "Each word is important"？ 18. What can we infer from the passage？16．

根据下列材料，请回答下列各题： Expertsinthefoodindustryarethinkingalotabouttrashthesedays.Fo
根据下列材料，请回答下列各题： Experts in the food industry are thinking a lot about trash these days. Food waste has been a serious problem for restaurants and grocery stores—with millions of tons lost along the way as crops are hauled hundreds of miles, stored for weeks in refrigerators and prepared on busy restaurant assembly lines. Restaurants, colleges, hospitals and other institutions are compensating for the rising costs of waste in novel ways. "We have all come to work with this big elephant in the middle of the kitchen, and he elephant is this Its okay to waste belief system," said Andrew Shackman, president of LeanPath. A company that helps restaurants cut back food waste. Freshman students at Virginia Tech were surprised this year when they entered two of the campus’s biggest dining halls to find there were no cafeteria trays. “ You have to go back and get your silverware and your drink, but its not that different,” said Caitlin Mew born, a freshman. “Its not a big deal. You take less food, and you dont eat more than you should. ” Getting rid of trays has cut food waste by 38 percent at the cafeterias, said Denny Cochrane, manager of Virginia Techs sustainability program. Before the program began, students often grabbed whatever looked good at the buffet (自助餐), only to food at the table that their eyes were bigger than their stomachs, he said. According to the first paragraph,
A. lots of food are wasted as crops are hauled from far away
B. food waste is the most serious problems for restaurants and stores
C. experts put forward many proposals to solve the issue of trash
D. .busy restaurant assembly lines produce millions of tons of trash

Its a modem problem: youre too busy to be disturbed by incessant phone calls so you turn y
our cell phone off. But if you dont remember to turn it back on when youre less busy, you could miss some important calls. If only the phone knew when it was wise to interrupt you, you wouldnt have to turn it off at all. Instead, it could let calls through when you are not too busy. A bunch of behavior. sensors and a clever piece of software could do just that, by analyzing your behavior. to determine if its a good time to interrupt you. If built into a phone, the system may decide youre too busy and ask the caller to leave a message or ring back later. James Fogarty and Scott Hudson at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania based their system on tiny microphones, cameras and touch sensors that reveal body language and activity. First they had to study different behaviors to find out which ones strongly predict whether your mind is interrupted. The potential "busyness" signals they focused on included whether the office doors were left open or closed, the time of day, if other people were with the person in question, how close they were to each other, and whether or not the computer was in use. The sensors monitored these and many factors while four subjects were at work. At intervals, the subjects rated how interruptible they were on a scale ranging from "highly inter-tuptible" to "highly not-interruptible". Their ratings were then correlated with the various behaviors. "It is a shotgun approach: we used all the indicators we could think of and then let statistics find out which were important," says Hudson. The model showed that using the keyboard, and talking on a landline or to someone else in the office correlated most strongly with how interruptible the subjects judged themselves to be. The computer was actually better than people at predicting when someone was too busy to be interrupted. Fogarty speculates that this might be because people doing the interrupting are inevitably biased towards delivering their message, whereas computers dont care. The first application for Hudson and Fogartys system is likely to be in an instant messaging system, followed by office phones and cellphones. "There is no technological roadblock to it being deployed in a couple of years," says Hudson.

第10题
根据材料，回答下列各题： With the unemployment rate topping 8% and the government $16 trill
ion in debt, its easy to question why taxpayers are spending $ 2.5 billion on an SUV- sized Mars rover (探测车) named Curiosity, which landed successfully on the red planet in the early hours of Monday. Couldnt this money go toward something closer to home, such as providing shelter for the homeless or building roads？ Yes, it could. But this kind of thinking is shortsighted. The Mars project is the latest manifestation of Americas restless desire to answer previously unanswerable questions and take on new challenges. To paraphrase President John F. Kennedy, America does things like this not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Getting the probe down safely on Mars, after a 350 million mile journey, was certainly no easy feat. Virtually all the technology used in the approach and landing was new, or used in new ways. Once settled in, Curiosity should be a particularly awe-inspiring project. It is designed to shed light on big questions: Could life forms have ever existed on Mars？ Might they still exist？ And are we alone in the universe ？ When budgets are tight, space projects such as Curiosity come in for particular abuse. They are often portrayed as complicated flights of odd ideas. They are not. They are both inspirational and immensely practical. Technology is, after all, an engine of economic growth. If that is a goal, as well it should be, why not support a program that makes science exciting and showcases some of the most interesting things that. technology can do？ One of the main benefits of projects like this one is to promote a confident America. Throughout history, nations that explore, and engage in science, lead the world. Beginning in the 15th century, for example, European nations sent sailors around the globe and provided the impetus for thinkers such as Copernicus, Galileo and Newton to invent modern physics and astronomy. Not coincidentally, Europe came to dominate the world until the dawn of the 20th century. Those who would slash space program budgets apparently havent learned historys lessons and dont see the great possibilities that the future presents--possibilities reflected in every image transmitted back from the rover. Why is it easy to question why taxpayers money is spent on Curiosity？
点击查看答案
A.Because Curiosity costs too much money.
B.Because the economic situation is depressed.
C.Because the money should be spent on the people.
D.Because Curiosity is meaningless and impractical.
