题目：1. Talk about a book you have read
that was important to
you for some reason.
Explain why the book was important to you.
Give specific details and examples to explain
your answer.
答案：Recently, I read a book named
Keep the aspidistra book
influences me a lot
because the story has something that touches my
heart. It
talks about a man who wants to be a
poet and who abandons many
well-paying jobs to
pursue his dream. I have a similar experience of
quitting a
very good job in order to be a
writer. Also, the man in the story is lack of
money, for he works as a bookstore assistant
and thus has a very low salary.
He lives in a
shabby apartment and sometimes has no money to buy
food.
Again, I’ve got similar experience. I
once lived in a cramped apartment alone
and
had no money. The book is important to me because
it touches me and
encourages me.

2. Some people believe that
television has had a positive influence on
society. Others believe it has had a negative
influence on society. Which do
you agree with
and why? Use details and examples to explain your
opinion.
答案I think television has a
positive influence on society. It’s a good source
of
news. The members in the society can get
news easily from News Channels
and thus keep
themselves informed of what’s happening around.
Like, my
grandfather watches News on TV
everyday just to keep up with the latest
events. Besides, television can be a kind of
entertainment. People can watch
different
shows on TV such as funny talk shows and soap
operas. I have many
friends who like watching
Late show with David Letterman and some other
friends like watching TV series
such as Lost and Friends. They all consider TV
as a good way of relaxing themselves and of
killing time. So, with the news and
same TV
programs, people in a society share a lot of
things that they can talk
about in any event.
Therefore, society actually benefits from TV.

3. Explain why the woman disagrees
with the reasons expressed in the
letter.
答案The writer of the letter opposes
the university’s plan to acquire a new
sculpture because the university’s financial
condition is poor and the sculpture
is so
large that it’ll take up all the green space in
front of the campus center.
The woman in
the conversation thinks the two reasons are
totally unconvincing.
The woman says it’s an
anonymous donor who pays the bill of the sculpture
not the university so there is no need to
worry about the university’s financial
condition. As for the point about the space,
the woman thinks Paul, the writer
of the
letter, always plays soccer with his friends on
the lawn where the
sculpture will be. She
thinks Paul just doesn’t want to move to another
place.
For him, it’s convenience versus
sculpture.

4. Explain
groupthink and its effects using example of the
computer
company.
答案Groupthink is a process in which individual
members of a group conform
their ideas to the
group consensus even if the result may not be
well. The
professor in the lecture uses his
personal experience in a computer company
to
illustrate this process. Once he and his co-worker
suggested to give their
computer a design
make-over to look cooler in order to attract new
customers.
At first, the majority supported
their suggestion. But there were a few senior
managers who didn’t support. Then some
supporters changed their mind, so
did the
professor’s co-worker. The co-worker changed his
mind because he
didn’t want to make a bad
impression on senior managers. He thought
disagreeing with them might harm his future
promotion. Then after a long
discussion and
with more and more people sided with senior
managers, the
professor himself thought he was
the only one who’s delaying the decision.
Then, he voted against himself. So they all
agreed not to have this design
make-over. At
last, the company lost profit because its
competitors came up
with good-looking
computers and win more customers.

5. The speakers discuss two possible
solutions to the woman’s problem.
Briefly
summarize the problem. Then state which should
solution you
recommend and explain why.
答案The woman was supposed to drive a
bunch of elementary students to the
zoo
tomorrow but she didn’t rent a van in time and the
kids will be disappointed
if the trip gets
cancelled. The man suggests her to borrow a car
from one of her
friends. But she has to borrow
two cars to hold all the kids and it’s hard to
find
another driver. Then the man suggests her
to take the public transportation.
He is
pretty sure that there is a bus line past the zoo.
But the woman thinks it’s
hard to
control the kids on the bus. Well personally, I
would recommend the
woman to take the bus
line. Even if the kids are handful, they are still
controllable. But there is no guarantee that
she can borrow two cars and find
another
driver at the same time.

6.
Using the research described by the professor,
explain what
scientists have learned about the
mathematical abilities of babies.
答案In the lecture the professor describes how
scientists learn about baby’s
mathematical
abilities. Researchers did an experiment to test
baby’s ability to
add that baby knows one plus
one equals two. They first put a doll in front of
a
baby and lowered the screen to hide the
doll. So the baby knows it’s there.
Then they
clearly put another doll behind the screen so
there should be two
dolls. But researchers
secretly took one away and when they lift the
screen up,
the baby was surprised because it
expected to see two dolls but there was
only
one. We know when a baby is surprised, it stares
at the thing that makes it
feel surprised. The
researchers recorded the baby’s eye-movement with
a
camera and found that the baby stared. So
the baby has the ability to add. It
knows one
doll plus one doll equals two dolls.
