可以和平相处。

Listening:【教授举例】：教授举了美国北部某地的生活在pond的两种鸭子blackhead和redhead，

都吃insects 和 grass, 但是不互相争夺，因为细究来看，它们的食物还是有slightly不同，

这是由它们physical character造成的。

1）blackhead鸭嘴长，可以伸进深水猎食，所以多在池塘中间深水处活动。

2）redhead嘴短，只能在池塘边上的浅水区觅食。

Sample answer:

In this set of materials, the reading passage explains a definition of resource partition. It states

that animals in the same habitat can share the same food resources and get along well with each other based on their physical character.

In the listening passage, the professor gives an example to further explain that. He brings up the fact thattwo kinds of ducks--- blackhead and redhead living in one pond all eat insects and grass, but they never fight over that. He goes on to illustrate that their food is slightly different due to their different physical character. Blackhead ducks have long beak, which can make them get food in the deep water. Redhead ducks have short beak, which makes it possible for them to get food in the low water around the sides of the pond.

By these means, he proves that animals living in the same habitat share the territory and the food instead of competing against each other.

【学生困难】：男女生要去参加一个play的准备rehearsal，但director要走人，因为 bad temper，跟其他人无法共事，自己老蹿火。但有一个candidate可以, 可是又sick 了.

【解决方案】：两个方案：1)自己演自己导. 2) 极力劝说那个火爆脾气别quit，因为是最理想的director.

Sample answer:

This is a discussion between two students who are going to attend a rehearsal of a play。But the director is leaving because of his bad temper. One of the solutions the two students come up with is that they have to be their own director ?cause a candidate who can direct is sick. The other solution is to try to persuade that

bad-tempered director to get back ?cause he is the most ideal one. I tend to agree with the second solution because the sick substitute might not get the job well done. And also the original director may not lose his temper all the time.

【讲课要点】：教授讲经济学demand，先一句话定义了一下，然后她说产品价格上升，需求下降，两个原因，拿coffee 作例子，当有一种substitute存在时比如tea，咖啡价格升，人们买茶，咖啡需求自然就下降了；但没有tea或者人们就偏爱咖啡，价格升后，人们还会买咖啡，但买的数量少了，总体需求也下降了。

Sample answer:

In the lecture the professor tells us about demand in economics and explains that products are less demanded when the price is high and vice versa. There are two causes. One is the substitution effect; the other is consumer tastes. Then she takes coffee for example. When a substitue like tea exists, customers may buy it if the price of coffee increases. Then the demand for coffee decreases. However, when there‘s

But the purchased quantity drops, and thus the overall demand falls.

T1. State one of your challenging experiences. Explain why it is challenging and how you conquered this challenge.

Something challenging that I ever did was the first time I gave a public speech when I was in middle school.

As we know, the biggest concern about public speaking is the anxiety. It was not that I hadn‘t done such a thing before, but that I hadn‘t got it well prepared. Also, it was a large audience of over 1,000 students and the teaching staff.

A couple of days before the speech, I couldn‘t sleep well, so I asked my politics teacher --- a very nice person, for help. She gave me very useful suggestions----- think postively and take action, which still works for me right now. Then I did as I was advised to. Though I could have done worse than I had expected, I wouldn‘t lose anything, but get valuable experience. Keeping this in mind, I practiced over and over again in front of a mirror. Eventually, I made it.

T2. Some people choose a major that may gurantee a good job. Other people choose a major out of their personal interest in that area. Which do you think is a good idea and why?(或Some students would

choose to study a subject because it brings plenty of job opportunities. Instead, others would choose to study a subject which really interests themselves, although it probably doesn‘t sell well in the job market. Which opinion do you agree about? Explain why. )

These two aspects of choosing a major both have their merits, but I still think choosing a major out of personal interest is a better idea.

To begin with, interest is the best teacher. Only when people show great interest in that particular area, they can do well in their academic career.

In addition, interest leads to involvement and involvement leads to enthusiasm and more response, which is very important for a student who‘s pursuing a better future.

What‘ s more, long-term success depends on performance out of vital interest. Interest in the subject encourages them to take an optimistic view-point and continued action to accomplish their goals. Even

In closing, I agree with the idea of interest being the most important consideration of choosing a subject.

Reading:【学校通知】：学校对本科生实行新的学分政策。以前，上研究生课程的本科生只能拿到本科阶段的学分。新政策实施后，学分对本科阶段和研究生阶段都有效。也就是，如果这些优秀的学生毕业后继续报考本校的研究生的话，可以不再选同样的课程。校方的目的于鼓励学生在报考研究生的时候选择本校。

Listening: 【学生议论】：男生不同意。原因有三：

1）小班变大班，教学效果会不好。

2）对本科生和在读研究生都没好处。

3）本科生报考本校的研究生对其个人视野拓展和经历丰富性方面没有好处。

Sample answer:

In the reading material, the university is considering a new course credit policy. In the listening material, we clearly learn that man doesn't like the idea. One reason he gives is that if too many undergraduates choose to take graduate courses, he won‘t be able to enjoy the small seminars and get personal attention from professors.Besides, the new policy is harmful not only for the graduates, but also for the

undergraduates.Another reason is that the undergraduates shouldn‘t be encouraged to stay in the same school for their graduate study ?cause they will lose very good chance for new and different

experiences. Therefore, he disagrees with that opinion.

Reading: 【课文要点】讲role distancing. 每个人都有他们的role，但是很多人都想separate from their role，because not comfortable.

Listening:【教授举例】说一个13岁的小孩，在家跟同学玩呢，他妈突然让他洗碗，他不愿意，因为他觉得在他同学面前没面子，但是不洗又不行，只能用一些间接方式表示抗议，比如做做鬼脸，比如洗得很慢之类的。

Sample answer:

In this set of materials, the reading passage explains the concept of role distancing.It states that people would express their reluctance of playing current social roles directly in very rare cases. In the listening passage, the professor gives an examples to illustrate this. A 13- year- old boy was playing with his

friends in the living room when his mom came in and asked him to wash dishes. He knew very clearly that he should obey his mom and do the dishes. But, on the other hand, he did not want his friends to have the idea that he was just a nice, good kid. So he showed his reluctance by making faces or walking into the kitchen slowly. By these means, he proves that people would release some emotional clues that imply their unwillingness of accepting the roles.

【学生困难】：摄影协会的会长，工作忙，课又多。

【解决方案】：女生给他两个建议：

1） 退位，专心搞学习。

2）退课，反正不是必修。

Sample answer:

This is a discussion between two students. The male student is having a hard time dealing with his

presidentship of the photographer‘s club and his classes. The female student gives him 2 solutions. One of the solutions is to step down from his presidentship of the club. The other solution is to to drop some classes. I tend to agree with the second solution because the class is not mandatory. If he‘s interested in that professor, Lora, he could frequent his visits to her. Also he wouldn still keep his position as president of the club and doing what he loves to do.

【讲课要点】：恐龙灭绝原因。两种理论假设。

1. 事物缺乏理论：陨石=>遮云蔽日=>植物变少=>动物变少=>灭亡

2. 全球升温理论：全球变暖=>蛋变暖=>雌的龙变少=>失衡=灭亡

Sample answer:

The lecture tells us about the two hypotheses explaining the extinction of dinosaurs. Then the professor goes on to further explain that. One is the lack-of -food theory. The other is the rising temperature theory.According to the first theory, an aerolite hit our planet millions of years ago. The dust clouds

aroused by the collision blackened the sky for months. First, the plants died because of lack of sunshine to survive. Soon after that, the plant-eating dinosaurs died out because they had nothing to eat. Finally, after the death of plant-eating dinosaurs, all the carnivore dinosaurs disappeared permanently from our planet. According to the second theory, most dinosaurs died out as the result of volcano eruptions. The volcano eruptions always bring large amount of carbon dioxide into the air, which keeps the heat from running away. The higher the temperature, the less likely that female baby dinosaurs would come out. And because fewer female baby dinosaurs came out, even fewer eggs could be laid. Eventually, all dinosaurs as a species died out millions of years ago as the result of ever rising temperature.

T1. Describe an important gift you‘ve received and explain why it is important. Please include specific details and examples in your explanation.

An important gift I‘ve ever received is a doll given by my mother on my sixth birthday.

The doll is part of my fondest memories of childhood. I was a fourth child and
