{版本1}

1.学生咨询关于一篇论文的source的问题。一种鱼类动物的灭绝可能是人类造成的,因为池塘dry up,所以没有地方繁衍,但是文中又提到说是deforestation 造成了该动物的灭绝。觉得有些不准确。教授提到这并不矛盾,并介绍了transpiration的概念,说明是远处的热带雨林的减少会影响当地的降雨,造成池塘dry up。


2.学生写论文,需要查一篇文章。但是打不开。原因是为学校提供database维护的公司现在不做了,一部分data找不到了。学生的文章就找不到了。建议学生去图书馆或者interlibrary system去找其他的代替资源。


3.天文学系一位男生去图书馆预定T恤,为的是参加科学集会。这个T恤的灵感来自于物理学系的同学。这位天文学系男生自己很有想法。他设计的T恤正面是八大行星的照片,下面写上它们的名字。然后,图书管理员阿姨问,为什么没有冥王星(Pluto),学生说,Pluto已经不是Major planet,而是Minor planet。学生说T恤的背面设计也很简单,先在上面写一句话:all are welcome in the astronomy department,而且必须小写(major),然后来一张Pluto的图。


4.咖啡对于欧洲的影响。一是更健康,因为咖啡用热水,然后可以除掉很多细菌。因为咖啡不能在家里面做。所以他让各个阶层的人有机会一起交流,比如说名人,科学家。他们的新发现,有时甚至在咖啡厅里做实验。他们的交流导致了新思想的产生。但是社会的发展往往不是单个因素造成的,还有其他原因。


5.作家的poem分析是他所有的作品没有使用打印机打印,因为他为了方便和交流和修改。但印刷的好处是能在短时间内接触到更多的阅读者。因为作品是手写的,而且包含一些政治内容,所以不能传播,他的作品被很多人修改,所以一首诗在后期研究的时候发现有很多版本无法判断是否是原稿件。研究者发现一个可能是原稿件作品。但是不确定教授认为不是因为他的诗歌比较简洁。

听力文本

Narrator: Listen to a conversation between a student and her anthropology professor.


Student: You know the topic I submitted for my research proposal, the historical origins of the Berber people of North Africa? Well, I started writing and it just wasn’t working for me. I’m pretty much going nowhere with the research.


Professor: I’m sorry to hear that. It was such an original choice. What happened?


Student: Well, I found plenty of information about Berber’s society in present day North Africa. But even though the evidence points to Berber civilization probably dating back five thousand years, there’s no real scholarly consensus about their ancestry.


Professor: That’s true. We don’t have a consensus. Feelings about their origins range from parts of Europe to the Middle East. Part of the problem is that the Berber language wasn’t traditionally a written one so there aren’t any historical records written by the Berbers themselves that we can trace back to antiquity. As a result, it’s hard to find any direct evidence of their origin.


Student: Yeah. The ancient Egyptians and Romans mentioned them a bit. I thought it was great when the graduate assistant, Raymond, recommended this topic to me. But along with the opposing theories, the main thing is that I just don’t feel I will get enough material to base a paper on. Maybe I should have talked to you first, but I went ahead and wrote a totally new proposal. I hope that’s okay.


Professor: Yes, of course. But I wish we would’ve had this talk before you veered off into this new direction. You know, even though historians haven’t come to a consensus, we could’ve worked together and I’m sure you could’ve written a good paper acknowledging of course that disagreements about the Berber’s origin exist.


Student: Oh, okay.


Professor: And I also would have directed you to Anthrotopics as a place to look.


Student: Anthrotopics? It rings a bell.


Professor: I’m sure I mentioned it in class. It’s a good website for scholarly sources on anthropological classes. Check it out. Maybe you could come back to the Berbers for your second paper.


Student: Okay. I will think about it.


Professor: But in the meantime, you said you have something else?


Student: Yes, it’s about nomadic populations and schooling in parts of Africa like how the whole issue of children attending school is being addressed in modern nomadic communities.


Professor: That’s certainly is a timely topic. In fact, I just read a recent study on this subject. African governments and international agencies are struggling to figure out how to deal with this issue.


Student: I’ve brought you a copy of the proposal and this time I went ahead and did some research first so I know the material is there. It’s not a historical topic. Is that a problem?


Professor: Well, the assignment was to write on an anthropological problem related to an African community. The topic doesn’t necessarily have to be historical.


答案

1. C 2. C 3. B 4. B 5. B


文章大意

女生去找教授,说自己在写的一篇论文存在困难,困难就是她发现可以找到的材料虽然多,但是研究者们并没有达成共识。教授说研究者确实在这个话题上没有达成共识,因为Berber人并没有书面语言,所以没有留下直接证据。女生说自己又换了一个新的主题,但新的主题不是历史事件。教授说没有关系,只要是人类学的话题就可以。
