I hope you can help me. I just transferred from Northeastern State University near Chicago.Administrator:Well wele to Central University. But Chicago is such a great city. Why did you leave?Student:(2)Everyone asks that. It’s my hometown. And it was sure convenient to go to a school nearby. But Northeastern is still fairly small. And it doesn’t have the program I’m interested in. I want to major in international studies. And the only program in the State is here.Administrator:We do have a great program. Well how did you get interested in international studies?Student:(3)My family hosted a few foreign exchange students while I was growing up. Then I took part in an international summer program after I graduated from high school. I thought I really I like meeting people from all over, getting to know them.Administrator:OH! Ok! And that led you to our program. (1)Right now though I think you are looking for a job.Student:Yeah, a part time job on campus. I thought I’d save money, being away from the big city. But it doesn’t seem to be working that way .Anyway I’m not having much luck.Administrator:I’m not surprised. Most of our campus jobs are taken in the first week or two of the semester. What work experience have you had?Student:Well, I worked in the university library last year. But I already checked at the library here. They said their remaining positions were for workstudy students getting financial aid. I’ve never run into that before.Administrator:Well, I guess each school has its own policies. (5)Uh, we really don’t have much right now. You might be better waiting until next semester. If you really want something, how are your puter skills?Student:About average I’d say. I helped teach some of the basic puter classes. Northeastern offers for new users, if that helps any?Administrator:OK, the technology support department needs people to work its helpdesk. It’s basically a customer service job, answering questions, helping people solve their puter problems, give you a chance to develop your people skills.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 student go to the university office?解析:主旨題,文中學(xué)生找管理員主要是想尋求工作機(jī)會(huì)。答案:The idea was contrary to their beliefs about objects in space.8. Which hypothesis regarding sunspots did Galileo challenge?解析:細(xì)節(jié)題,定位hypothesis和Galileo,注意文中教授自問(wèn)自答部分。文中說(shuō)羅馬人因?yàn)樾蕾p希臘雕像所以模仿,這是藝術(shù)用途;文中又說(shuō)這些雕像用來(lái)傳達(dá)君主的一些想法,是政治用途。說(shuō)明業(yè)主會(huì)幫她。短話中說(shuō)軍官要求5000磅金子和3000磅胡椒粉作為賠償,說(shuō)明胡椒粉在那個(gè)時(shí)期非常珍貴。解析:It will help him write clearly about a plex topic.3. What is the main goal of the study that the professor’s colleague is conducting?答案:細(xì)節(jié)題,定位the professor’s colleague. 文中說(shuō)她讓一些人看還沒(méi)有播出過(guò)的節(jié)目,看他們是否喜歡這個(gè)節(jié)目,而參與的人都是這個(gè)學(xué)生的同齡人。答案:It led to a period of intense scientific research.Lecture 2(學(xué)科分類——藝術(shù)史)Narrow:Listen to part of a lecture in an art history class.Professor:Today we’ll continue our examination of ancient Roman sculpture. We’ve already looked at portrait sculpture which are busts created to memorate people who had died, and we’ve looked at relief sculpture, or sculpting on walls. And today we’ll look at yet another category of sculpture——copies. Roman’s sculptors often made copies of famous Greek sculptures.Girl Student:Why did they do that?Professor:Well, no one knows for sure. You see, in the late 4th century ., the Romans began a campaign to expand the Roman Empire, and in 300 years they had conquered most of the Mediterranean area and parts of Europe. You know the saying, “To the victor belong the spoils”? Well, the Roman army returned to Romewith many works of Greek art. It’s probably fair to say that the Romans were impressed by Greek art and culture and they began making copies of the Greek statues. (13)Now the dominant view in traditional art history is that Roman artists lacked creativity and skill, especially pared to the Greek artists who came before them. (17)Essentially, the traditional view, a view that’s been prevalent for over 250 years, is that the Romans copied Greek sculptures because they couldn’t create sculpture of their own. But finally some contemporary art historians have challenged this view. One is Elaine Gazda. Gazda says that there might be other reasons that Romans made copies. She wasn’t convinced that it was because of a lack of creativity. Can anyone think of another possible reason?Boy student:Well, maybe they just admired these sculptures. You know, they liked the way they looked.Professor:Yes. That’s one of Gazda’s points. Another is that while nowadays reproduction is easy, it was not so easy in Roman times. Copying statues required a lot of skill, time and effort. (14)So Gazda hypothesizes that copying didn’t indicate a lack of artistic imagination or skill on the part of Roman artists,
