Describe the most important decision that you’ve made in your life.
Sample answer: (音频下载请点击附件decision.mp3)
A particularly significant decision I’ve made in my life was that I came to work and live in Beijing.
I had just finished my contract on a very decent job and I suppose I wanted freedom, or at least a long break. So I decided to come to Beijing even though I knew it is challenging and demanding. But I still thought life was wonderful and the world was big.
Besides, I was always a bit tempestuous (激情澎湃的) and I liked to do things on the spur（刺激）of the moment. Arriving in a new city was exhilarating（兴奋的）. Just walking out of the station with a suitcase and two bags and with a dream of doing something for the Olympic Games, I felt I had arrived and I felt life was mine and I could make of it what I wanted.
That summer, I realized again and saw clearer that life never ought to be boring, but on the contrary is full of adventure and challenge and is exciting, too.

Do you think high school should teach music and art as other basic science?
Sample answer: (音频下载请点击附件music & art.mp3)
Music and art should be important components of the school curriculum because they have many uses besides recreation. To study music is to study the basics. Through its study, students come into contact with other basic areas of the curriculum: math, science, social studies, languages, and physical education.
Apart from that, music, like reading, writing and speaking, conveys thoughts, ideas and feelings. It also provides an avenue for developing self-expression and creativity.
On the other hand, art education in itself has tremendous value. Learning about the history, sharing ideas and knowledge, is always a good thing.
Music and art, therefore, as important parts of our lives, should be taught in high school.

Reading:【学校通知】：学生登在校报的文章说在final exam期间，学校的library
应该24小时开放，以方便同学使用,因为很多同学都学的很晚， 因此而增加的费用可以用其它方式来补偿,例如可以把library在vacation期间关了来省钱。
Listening: 【学生议论】：男生不同意。原因有二：
1）good sleeping才能better study。
2）在vacation, 很多留校的同学, 特别是graduates学习要用library, 怎么能关呢。
Sample answer:
The reading passage is about a student’s article, which says the school library should be open for 24 hours for students to use during the final exam. And then the school could try some other options to cover the additional expenses that brings about, like closing it during vacation. In the listening material, we clearly learn that the man doesn't like the idea and he thinks it’s ridiculous. One reason he gives is that sleeping well is good for study. Another reason is that it would be unconvenient for students staying on campus during vacation if the library was closed, especially for the graduates who spend more time in the library. Therefore, he disagrees with that opinion.
T4.
Reading: 【课文要点】supernational organization 的定义, 有什么好处.
Listening:【教授举例】举了两个例子说它的好处：
1) World Health Organization.
2) European Union.
Sample answer:
In this set of materials, the reading passage explains a definition of supernational organization. It also states the benefits of it.
In the listening passage, the professor gives a talk on it. He takes World Health Organization and European Union for example to further explain that. World Health Organization is to protect the health of all human beings. It claims that highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being. And the main aim of European Union is to promote democratization,security and economic growth in the countries in Europe.
By these means, he proves that supernational organizations do a lot of good to human beings.
T5.
【学生困难】：要开一个Seminar, 女生要Speech, 但没准备.
【解决方案】：男生给她两个建议：
1）找Instructor。
2）去library找点video看看.
Sample answer:
The discussion is between two students. The female student is telling her classmate that she hasn’t prepared the speech for the seminar. The male student suggests she go to the instructor and tell him about it.
He also tells her to borrow some videos from the library. I think the second idea serves her purpose because it would be better to attend the seminar with prepared speech. Also, there’s enough time to prepare for it. But if she missed the seminar or went to the seminar without a speech, the instructor wouldn’t be pleased. If I were her, I would try my best to do it well.
T6.
【讲课要点】：sculpture的制作方法:
1. cutting法. 就是给你个stone或wood, 你就一直削, 直到做成你想做的东西. 缺点是万一犯了mistake, 没法重新来过。
2. adding法。 就是一直往上加, 直到做成你想要的. 优点是万一哪里不满意可以重来。
Sample answer:
The lecture tells about 2 ways of making sculpture. One way is cutting. That is if you are given a stone or wood, keep cutting until it looks like something that you want it to be. The disadvantage of doing this is that you won’t be able to start it all over again if you make a mistake. The other way is adding. That is keep adding until you make something you want. The advantage of doing so is you can redo that if you are not satisfied with it.

T1．
What do you do in your spare time?
Sample answer: (音频下载请点击附件spare time.mp3)
I'm kind of indoor type, so most often I read. I'm interested in reading all kinds of books and newspaper or magazine articles, especially those on current issues. I just want to be informed of what's going on in the world.
Now I spend most of my spare time reading on the Internet by browsing the screen. It’s fast though it might do harm to my eyes. It’s just fast and I can read fast.
I also watch TV, especially the NBA game ‘cause I'm a big basketball fan, even though I'm not very good at playing basketball myself. I love to watch and I will get excited and overjoyed whenever I see Yaoming do a nice shot.

Should cell phone usage be banned in some places?
Sample answer: (音频下载请点击附件cellphone usage.mp3)
I strongly agree with the opinion that cell-phone usage should be banned in some places like concert halls, movie theaters or in some situations like when you are driving in cars or taking a subway, when you are in flight, in classes or meetings.
For one thing,it has become social etiquette. The cell phone user should know when and where to pick up the cell phone and talk. Though people have personal right to use their phone, the others are not supposed to be involved in the unnecessary disturbance.
For another, cellphone usage can harm a person’s health. Brain cancer rates in the US have risen since cellphones were introduced, leading some people to wonder if cellphone usage is the reason for the increase.
In recognition of those above, there should be some kind of regulations helping with this problem. This way people will be well aware.

Describe a celebration or a moment that gave you the most impression.
Sample answer: (音频下载请点击附件celebration.mp3)
A memorable celebration which I attended was the celebration party for my university’s 50th birthday. It was two years ago when I first came back after graduation. I was very excited to see my great teachers and principals. It was a huge party, where lots of smart teachers gave their marvelous performance. The variety and taste of the shows can be comparable to some large entertaining events in the music and art field. It was not only a birthday and success celebration, but it also gave us dreams and aspirations for a bright and more prosperous tomorrow. We were all inspired. We were all having a wonderful time.

T2. Some people think that they learn more from media like newspapers, TV or the Internet. Other people think that they learn more from their friends, family and teachers. What’s your opinion?
Sample answer: (音频下载请点击附件learn more from people.mp3)
I think I learn more from people rather than media. I’ll take my mother as an example. When life seems hopeless, she is always there to help me every step of the way and she maintains everything will be fine unless I myself give up. I’m encouraged not only by her inspiring words but also by her action. By taking action, she has never been overwhelmed by pressure, adversity and even danger. Also when I feel blue sometimes, I would turn to my classmates or friends for cheering up and comfort. While, media like TV or Internet can only equip me with knowledge and information, they are incapable of giving me spiritual satisfaction. So I learn about life, how to stay strong more from people around me than from the media.

T3. Reading:【学校通知】：学校提供了一种新的计算机助理系统以代替过去的面对面的助理服务。
Listening: 【学生议论】：男女生都不同意。原因有三：
1）不是所有的学生都有钱买电脑。
2）没有面对面的方式直接。
3）有些学生不太会用电脑或不喜欢用电脑。
Sample answer: In the reading material, the university is considering using a kind of new computer- assisted system instead of face-to-face service.
In the listening material, we clearly learn that neither the man or the woman likes the idea . One reason is that not all students could afford a computer. Another is that computer-assisted service is not direct. And the third reason why they think the new service system won’t work very well is that some students are unable or don’t like to use the computer. Therefore, they disagree with that opinion.
T4.
Reading: 【课文要点】word framing.
Listening:【教授举例】举了2个例子:
1)当天气预报说cloudy的话，那么可能turn to thunder，也可能变sunny，人们却潜意识里面会认为天气最终变sunny；
2) 讲business language. 药品上经常会贴愈率90％治愈率10％虽然这2个表达的意思完全一样，但是人们却会偏向于购买贴着愈率90％药品，因为人们希望治愈，对治愈这个词敏感。
Sample answer:
In this set of materials, the reading passage gives a definition of word framing. It states that people’s behavior is influenced not only by the contents of the words but also by the way in which how the words are phrased.
In the listening passage, the professor explains that by giving two examples. One is that if the weather forecast says there’s 50% possibility of rain, many people may take an umbrella with them. But if the forecast’s delivered as there is 50% possibility of sunshine, very few people will start to prepare for a rainy day. Another example is that many advertisements are carefully worded to render the best outcome. If some new medicine claims that it works for 90% of patients, customers will find it much more attractive.
If it claims there’s 10% of inefficiency, people won’t take it. That’s how word framing produces significant effects on people’s making a decision.
T5. 【学生困难】：他们本来要周末带一些小朋友去博物馆参观，但是男生的汽车坏了，不能带他们去，很着急。
【解决方案】：女生给他两个建议：
1）男生的朋友bob
买了新车，可以借他的车
2）可以等车修好后改天再去参观，但小朋友们可能会失望。
Sample answer:
The discussion is between two students. The male student is going to take some children to the museum, but his car is broken. His classmate – the female student suggests he borrow his friend Bob’s car ‘cause he just bought a new one. She also suggests he take the children to the museum some other day until he gets his car fixed. I think the second idea serves his purpose because it would be better ‘cause he wouldn’t bring trouble to his friend or worry about getting Bob’s car dirty or something. It is true that the children may become disappointed about not being there as scheduled, but they would understand if he expained his situation.
So if I were him, I would also try the second option.
T6. 【讲课要点】：商家经常有两种strategy。
1. 一种是在新产品刚刚问世的时候，重点强调产品的品质（high quality），用来吸引顾客。比如手机刚刚问世的时候。
2. 一种是lower price，当一个产品已经上市很久，同时已经有其他品牌的竞争时，商家就会用lower price 继续吸引顾客，lower price特别能够吸引那些起初不需要买那个产品或者打算买其他品牌的顾客,比如打印机等。
Sample answer:
The lecture tells about two strategies that companies often use to promote their products. One strategy is to stress the high quality of the type of products when they come into existence to attract the customers. The other one is to lower the price of the product. For example, when cellphones first came, they use this strategy to sell their products. The other stategy is to lower the price. When a certain type of product has been on sale for a long period of time and meanwhile competing with other brands, the company would lower the price to increase its sales volume ‘cause the lower price would attract those who don’t want to buy that type of product or have the idea of buying other brands. Then the professor takes printers as an example to illustrate this strategy.

Describe a social or political event in your culture. 与2008. 2. 16 重复
Sample answer: (音频下载请点击附件ceremony.mp3)
A type of social event celebrated in my culture is the flag-raising ceremony on National Day. Oceans of (表示“许多”)people from all across the country come to Beijing the day before. They are very excited to see the ceremony with their own eyes instead of on TV. Some even have been planting this dream in their mind for years. They arrive around 6:00 early in the morning, waiting for the special moment. I guess they are all overwhelmed (震撼的) and thrilled (激动)by the wonderful scene at the time. On the other hand, the view of the honor guard parade is fantastic,
the guards are wearing the green military uniform and marching to Tianmen Square with a high spirit. Each birthday celebration of the great country always begin with such a solemn (庄严的) flag-raising ceremony, which strengthens the unity and motivation of its people.

Should government give financial support to build museums and theaters? State your opinion and explain why.
……
Sample answer: (音频下载请点击附件museums & theaters.mp3)
In my point of view, government should provide funds to build museums and theaters because they serve as exhibition centers for people to know about the history and culture of the country.
The range of museums is fantastic—there are museums of ancient history and archaeology, of natural history and even museums for such things as transport and crime! And because the museums are constantly holding new exhibitions, there is always something different to see.
Theaters offer people a big place to enjoy a variety of operas and plays of different regions. Even the world’s best group come occasionally. Meanwhile, the building of the museums and theaters will enhance the cultural exchange between countries. They are also one of the contributing factors that promote the national economy.
That’s why I think it’s a good idea for government to help with the building of the museums and theaters.

Reading:
【学校通知】：astronomy professor的一封信，信中反对学校的“亮灯工程”（给building
装饰灯）.理由有两个：一是浪费钱，每月多花1000 dollar的电费；二是造成光污染，天文系观测不到星星了。
Listening: 【学生议论】：男生同意。原因有二：
1）花那么多钱，没有实际作用，只为了看！
2）望远镜观测不到星星，还不如把钱投到天文项目上去。
……
Sample answer:
The reading passage is a letter from an astronomy professor in which he expressed his negative opinion about the school’s keeping the decoration lights for building on the whole night through. He thinks it’s waste of money on one hand, and on the other hand, it produces light pollution.
In the listening material, we clearly learn that the man agrees with that professor. One reason he gives is that it’s unnecessary to spend so much money on decoration and there isn’t any practical use. Another reason is that students from the Astronomy Department won’t be able to use telescope to watch the stars. He also points out that the money would be spent on astronomy project.
Therefore, he disagrees with the lights-on project.

Reading:n【课文要点】关于印象管理impression management
Listening:【教授举例】举了两个例子：
1）同学做presentation时注意形象。
2）假设大学校长要搭他的车，他会先把后座清理，然后洗车，当校长上车时，放他本人并不喜欢听的古典音乐，以求博得好印象。
Sample answer:
In this set of materials, the reading passage gives a definition of impression management. It states that impression management is the process through which people try to control the impressions other people form of them.
In the listening passage, the professor gives a talk on it. He goes on to further explain that by giving two examples. First, a student may pay more attention to his image when he is going to give a presentation. Second, suppose the principal planned to get a ride in his car. He would clean the backseat and wash the car. He would also play the classic music that he doesn’t really like to leave a better impression.
By these means, he proves that people can manage the impressions to steer other’s opinions in the service of personal or social goals.

【学生困难】：女生找了一个研究助理的工作，但每天只让她做事务性的工作，比如复印，接电话什么，接触不到真正的生物研究
【解决方案】：男生给她两个建议：
1）让她去学生中心看招聘的lists，换个工作。
2）跟教授谈一下，换些和研究沾边的工作。
……
Sample answer:
The discussion is between two students. The female student is telling her friend about her problem at her job now. She is working as a research assistant, but just does office routines such as photocopying, faxing, transfering calls, etc. -----nothing related to the biological research. The male student suggests she browse the job lists at the student center and change a job. He also suggests she talk to the professor to do something relevant to the reseach. I think the second idea serves her purpose better ‘cause if she communicated with her professor , her professor would understand her idea and then would give her a different option. And if she really did something related to the research, she could connect her classroom studies with hands-on, real world experience.

1. smokey bear（护林熊：森林防火标志, 是一头穿着护林人员制服的漫画熊),引起人们对保护动物的关注和敏感；
2. recycling campaign，鼓励人用分类垃圾桶装垃圾，说看到邻居这样做了，人们通常也会学着做。
Sample answer:
The leture tells about moral persuasion. That is to use some ways to appeal to duty. Then the professor gives two examples to further explain it. First, he takes smokey bear for example. Smokey bear is a kind of bear for forest fire safety and prevention. They are used to arouse people’s attention and sensitivity about animal protection. Another example is recycling campaign. It is to encourage people to dump garbage into separate trash cans. When people see their neighbor do that, they will normally follow them.
