27、if the music shops got it.W: All right.31, what is the conversation mainly about?32, why did the woman apologize to the man?33, what is unusual about the baritone?34, what does the woman want to borrow front the man?35, where will the speakers probably go next?Question 36 through 39;M: lets say you
28、are geologist, and u want to investigate the geological history of a place. that is, how did geologists determine things like.say .How were the rocks formed? Or was an area once under water? If so, when? How should u go about it?W: Id start with stratigraphy(地层学).M: could u explain what that is to t
29、he class?W: well, stratigraphy is the description of strata(地层,stratum的复数) in sedimentary rock. I guess thats not so clear, huh? Ok, lets say one of the investigators spot near a river, for example. well, over the history of the area, every time the river flooded, it would deposit a layer of sedimen
30、t all through with floodplain(泛滥平原). Sometimes a bigger layer, sometimes a smaller, depending on the size of the flood. Well, one layer or stratum gets deposited over another. Obviously these strata built up over millions of years. Stratigraphy is the study of these layers of deposited settlement.M:
31、 so does that mean if i examine each of these strata, i can tell how long ago each one is deposited?W: not necessarily. You see, there mightve been some years when the river didnt flood and no settlement was deposited. You need other kinds of evidence to tell how much time mightve gone by between wh
32、en one layer got deposited and one on top of it got deposited.M: and what are those other kinds of evidence u are talking about?W: well, fossils for one. You can determine exactly how old a fossil is and thats how u can tell how the rock surrounding it is.M: very good. The discovery of that particul
33、ar technique is an interesting story. It was a man named William Smith who first used fossils for the purpose of dating strata back in the 1800s.lets take a look at how he went about making this geological breakthrough.36 what is the discussion mainly about?37 what does the woman explain when she ta
34、lks about rivers?38 according to the discussion, why are geologists unable to determine thegeological age of an area by studying sediment deposit alone?39 what will the class probably discuss next?Part CQuestion 40 through 43(这篇文章Gter的笔记有缺失)Recently some anthropologist conducted an interesting case
35、study in ethnology. now ethnology(人种学) as u recall is a branch of anthropology that deal with how various cultures developed change. The study was about the development of basket weaving by African-american women who live in the town of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The town is known for its high
36、quality sweet grass baskets which are woven bye these women. Theyve been weaving the baskets for generations, handing down the skill from mother to daughter. Some of the baskets have been place on permanent display at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. the origin of their basket weaving dates back to t
37、he 17th century and even earlier when these womens ancestors came to the United States from the west coast of Africa. Now, its mainly a hobby. But back in the 17th and 18th century African and American women wove the baskets for use on the rice plantations. There were two types of baskets then: work
38、baskets and baskets for use in the home. The workbaskets were made out of bulrushes(芦苇). Bulrushes are long tough grass that grow in marshes. One type of workbaskets was fan basket which was used to separate the grain of rice from waste. The baskets used in the home were made out of the more delicat
39、e sweet grass. They were used for everything from fruit baskets to baby cradles.40 what is the talk mainly about?41 how did the women mentioned in the talk learn to wave basket?42 according to the speaker, what type of baskets was make out of bulrush?43 what is the main reason that the women in Sout
40、h Carolina now weave baskets?Questions 44 through 46:This morning I want to tell u about a recent scientific discovery dealing with the relation between plants and animals. this is about a desert shrub whose leaves can shoot a stream of poisonous resin(树脂)a distance of six feet. You think it will be
41、 safe from all attacks by insects. But a recent study has found one insect, a beetle, that can chew its way past the plants defense system by cutting the main vein that delivers the poison to the leaves. This vein cutting is jut one method the beetles used to prepare a safe meal. Another is by cutti
42、ng a path all the way across the leave to hold the flow of chemicals. Then they simply eat between the veins of poison. In the past, scientists who studied inset adaptation to plant defenses have focused on chemical responses. That is, how the insects can neutralize or alter the poisonous substances
43、 plants produce. whats unique about this chewing strategy is that the beetle is actually exhibiting a behavioral(行为的) response to the plants defenses rather than the more common chemical response. It is only after a beetles survived several encounters with the plant resin that it learns how to avoid
44、 the poison: by chewing through the resin transporting veins on the next leaf it eats. And thus gives itself a meal. however, it can take a beetle an hours an a half of careful vein cutting to prepare a small leaf that takes it only a few minutes to eat. So, though the method is effective, its not v
45、ery efficient.41 what is the talk mainly about?42 what is unusual about the desert plant?43 how can the beetles avoid being poisoned by the plant?Questions 47 through 50:Were going to start our discussion of poetry in Western Europe with the Iliad and the Odyssey .these two great poems stand out as
46、great examples of the earliest European poems. they are believed to have been written some time between 800BC and 700BC,partly because the poems refer to the social conditions of that time, conditions that have been validated(验证)by the findings of archeologists. but just who was the poet who laid do
47、wn these cornerstones(基石) of western literature? Well, tradition ascribles them to a man named Homer, but we know virtually nothing about this Homer. In fact, some say that such a poet never existed at all, that neither the Iliad nor the Odyssey was written by a single poet, but rather each poem is
48、compositive of the writings of several people. This, anyway, is the view of a school of literary critics in the 18th century known as the Analysts. The Analysts pointed to internal evidence such as variations in the literary devices used in the poem to argue that each work was in fact a collection of several poems by several Greek authors. Opposing the analysts were a second group of scholars called the Unitarian. They insisted that the Iliad and the Odyssey could
