【正文】 kills.Student：Something every diplomat needs. But is there some problem? I mean why is the job still open?Administrator：（4）Well, they have extended hours, from 6am to 2am every day. So they need a large staff. But right now they only need people early mornings, late nights, and weekends. You’d probably end up with a bit of everything rather than a regular spot. On the bright side you’ll probably be able to get some studying done between calls. At least it could be a start and then you can try for better hours next semester.Student：Um, I see why the hours might be a problem. But I guess I can’t afford to be too picky if I want a job. Still maybe we can work something out..詞匯：diplomat n. 外交家helpdesk n. 幫助臺(tái)spot n. 地點(diǎn)picky adj. 挑剔的；吹毛求疵的題目：1.

Why does the professor imply about the discovery of a relationship between the sunspot cycle and Earth39。答案：The copies had both artistic and political functions.15. Why does the professor mention Roman coins?解析：意圖推測(cè)題，文中說(shuō)硬幣在國(guó)家中散布，而帝王頭像印在硬幣上，說(shuō)明帝王頭像在國(guó)家散布。s possible participation in a research project2. What does the professor imply about the man39。解析：They would probably do a favor for her.5. What does the professor mean when she says this?解析：復(fù)聽意圖推測(cè)題，根據(jù)短對(duì)話內(nèi)容，學(xué)生說(shuō)這個(gè)教授還沒(méi)提到電視研究，教授說(shuō)市場(chǎng)部很大，恰巧自己認(rèn)識(shí)一個(gè)研究電視的人。答案：Fresh meat was less expensive than spices were.The sale of spoiled food was prohibited.9. Why does the professor mention the collapse of theRoman Empire?解析：細(xì)節(jié)題，定位the collapse of the Roman Empire. 文中說(shuō)羅馬瓦解后直接的貿(mào)易變成了需要中介人的交易，這之后香料就帶上了一種神秘的色彩，所以它們的起源變得更加神秘。Look for spices同義替換為the demand for spices.答案：They were responding to the demand for spices.11. Why does the professor say this:解析：復(fù)聽意圖推測(cè)題。答案：The student39。教授說(shuō)這個(gè)大綱對(duì)于他寫論文已經(jīng)足夠好了，而這個(gè)論文沒(méi)有一個(gè)堅(jiān)實(shí)的大綱很難寫，說(shuō)明這個(gè)大綱對(duì)于一個(gè)復(fù)雜的主題理清思路有幫助。s head from a statue?

What was the importance of Schwabe39。答案：To imply that the student might not like the job that is availableLecture 1（學(xué)科分類——天文學(xué)）Narrow：Listen to part of a lecture in an astronomy class.Professor：We are going to start a study of sunspots today, and I think you’ll find it rather interesting. Now I’m going to assume that you know that sunspots, in the most basic terms, are dark spots on the Sun’s surface. That will do for now. The ancient Chinese were the first to record observations of sunspots as early as the year 165. （7）When later European astronomers wrote about sunspots, they didn’t believe that the spots were actually on the Sun. That’s because of their belief at the time that the heavenly bodies, the Sun, Moon, Stars, and Planets, were perfect, without any flaws or blemishes. So the opinion was the spots were actually something else, like shadows of planets crossing the Sun’s face. And this was the thinking of European astronomers until the introduction of the telescope, which brings us to our old friend, Galileo.In the early 1600s, based on his observations of sunspots. （8）Galileo proposed a new hypothesis. He pointed out that the shape of sunspots, well, the sunspots weren’t circular. If they were shadows of the planets, they would be circular, right? So that was a problem for the prevailing view. And he also noticed that the shape of the sunspots changed as they seemed to move across the Sun’s surface. Maybe a particular sunspot was sort of square, then later it would bee more lopsided, then later something else. So there is another problem with the shadow hypothesis, because the shape of a planet doesn’t change. What Galileo proposed was that sunspots were indeed a feature of the Sun, but he didn’t know what kind of feature. He proposed that they might be clouds in the atmosphere, the solar atmosphere, especially because they seemed to change shape and there was no predicting the changes, at least nothing Galileo could figure out. That random shape changing would be consistent with the spots being clouds. Over the next couple hundred years, a lot of hypotheses were tossed around. The spots were mountains or holes in the solar atmosphere through which the dark surface of the Sun could be seen. Then in 1843, an astronomer named Heinrich Schwabe, made an interesting claim. Schwabe had been watching the Sun every day that it was visible for 17 years, looking for evidence of a new planet. And he started keeping tracks of sunspots, mapping them, so he wouldn’t confuse them with any potential new planet. （9）In the end, there was no planet, but there was evidence that the number of sunspots increased and decreased in a pattern, a pattern that began repeating after 10 years, and that was a huge breakthrough. Another astronomer named Wolf kept track of the Sun for an even longer period, 40 years actually. （10）So Wolf did 40 years of research, and Schwabe did 17 years of research. I think there is a lesson there. Anyway, Wolf went though all records from various observatories in Europe and put together a history of sunspot observations going back about 100 years. From this information, he was able to confirm the existence of a pattern, a repeating cycle. But Wolf detected an 11year cycles not a 10year circle. 11year cycles? Dose that sound familiar to anyone? No? Well, geomagnetic activity, the natural variations in Earth’s magnetic field, it fluctuates in 11year cycles. Well, we’ll cover this later in this semester, but for now, well, scientists in the late 19th century were aware of geomagnetic cycles, so when they heard that the sunspots’ cycle was also 11 years, well, they just had to find out what was going on. （11） Suddenly, everyone was doing studies of the possible relationship between the Sun and the Earth. Did the sunspots cause
