Task 1

How was it when you went to school for the first time? Did you like it or not and why?

Sample answer

When it comes to the experience of first going to school, I would say it is mixed, but I like it. First, there is this of sense of familiarity. Actually my parents were all teachers and I’ve been living there for several years before I started my kindergarten life. So everything was just normal for me. And then, there were these kinds of excitement, the feeling of getting text books of your own, being surrounded by a bunch of unfamiliar kids that were of the same age, looking at those teachers whom I knew of from quite young addressing from the podium.

Task 2

Some people prefer to work independently, others prefer to work with others. Which do you prefer? Explain your answer in details.

Sample answer

I believe that working in a group blocks production. First of all, we could not talk all at once, and as a result, some ideas and some people won’t get heard, and there is ego threat, people who are afraid of looking stupid or foolish would get cold feet, so they hold back on their most genuine ideas. Secondly, each group member wants to jump on the majority bandwagon as oppose to bringing in some radical, different ways of think. In short, working with others startles authenticities and smothers originalities. 

Task 3

Reading

學(xué)生建議通過 2 種方式鼓勵更多的人讀校報 

1)降低校報的價格。 

2)提升服務(wù),比如把報紙送到宿舍里面去。

Listening

The woman disagrees 

1) 現(xiàn)在校報已經(jīng)很便宜了,才 45 美分一份,而且報紙上的圖片是很有質(zhì)量的,所以值那個錢。 

2) 學(xué)校人手不夠,如果提供遞送服務(wù)要雇傭更多的員工,會花費更多。

Sample answer

The school has developed two ways of encouraging more students to read school newspaper: to lower the price of school newspaper and to deliver newspaper to dorms. However, the woman is not in favor of this proposal. First, she argues that right now the newspaper is already a bargain with its price at 45 cents, and those pictures on the paper are of high quality, so the price they are charging is legitimate. Plus, she points out that the university lacks staff, if dispatching service were added, they would have to hire more employees, which means higher costs for the university. 

Task 4

Reading

Cyclic population change: 不同物種相互作用，捕食者和被捕食者的數(shù)量會變化，這種變化會形成一種循環(huán)，物種的數(shù)量上升或者下降最終回到開始時的水平，周而復(fù)始

Listening

狼和老鼠，老鼠是 prey,狼是 predator。如果把他們之間數(shù)量相互影響的 repeating cycle 看成不同的階段。第一個階段，老鼠多狼少，狼的食物很充足，就會活的更久，更健康，有機(jī)會來繁殖和喂養(yǎng)狼崽。第二個階段，當(dāng)狼的數(shù)量越來越多，被吃的老鼠也越來越多，老鼠的數(shù)量會降低，狼因為食物減少沒有足夠的可以吃，沒有充足的食物喂養(yǎng)狼崽，數(shù)量也會下降，因此老鼠的數(shù)量又開始上升，然后就到達(dá)了跟第一個階段類似的第三階段，狼的數(shù)量少，老鼠的數(shù)量多，這個循環(huán)就一直持續(xù)。

Sample answer

Cyclic population change is a phenomenon where the interaction between species will form a repeating cycle in which population numbers of predator and prey increase and decrease then eventually return to their original size. For example, wolf is predator and mice are prey. In the first phase, there are a lot of mice and only a few wolves, wolves have a large food supply, so they can live longer and healthier, reproduce and feed their pups, then wolf population will grow, and when it comes to the point where there are more wolves to eat the mice, the mouse population starts to decline, and this is phase two, wolves would have a hard time to survive, let alone feed their young, so the wolves population begins to shrink, therefore fewer mouse would get eaten, so that their population will amass, and we would reach the third phase, that is abundant mice and not many wolves, equivalent to phase one, right where we started.

Task 5

Listening

Problem：明天電影課上會放最后一場電影，這是這個女生最喜歡的電影，準(zhǔn)備用這場電影寫論文，但是明天約好了要去看醫(yī)生。 

Solution 1：課后租電影看，但是錯過課上的討論及教授的見解，這些對她的論文很有幫助。 

Solution 2：寫之前課上放過的電影。但是對其他電影沒興趣，會影響論文質(zhì)量。 

Sample answer

The last movie that’s going to be shown in tomorrow’s film class is the woman’s favorite and she is planning to write a paper about it, however she has an appointment with the doctor at the same time. She could either rent a copy of the movie to watch it later, or write her paper about one of those films shown before. 

I would go for the first option. With various digital gadgets available nowadays, she could simply ask her classmates to film the whole class session with a film recorder for her later paper-writing use. 

Task 6

Listening

Business class: Two parts of a contingency plan 

當(dāng)一些公司遇到不可預(yù)知的一些事情的時候，那些事情會對他們的公司造成損失，所以他們會有應(yīng)急預(yù)案,預(yù)案包含兩部分: 

1. How to continue 

e.g.滑雪場有一年下雪特別少，沒法滑，那么就應(yīng)該買machine造人工雪。 

2. How to communicate to public

e.g.給他們發(fā)郵件說滑雪場說今年雪量少，可能不會讓你們玩的很盡興，所以當(dāng)顧客來的時候就不會報多大的希望，覺得滑雪場會有多好

Sample answer

Usually companies would have some contingency plans in place to deal with unexpected incidents that will cause some damages for them. And a contingency plan usually contains two parts. The first part is how to continue, that is to say, a company would work out a plan to deal with the contingency directly to minimize the impact. For instance, if a ski area is suffering a lack of snowfall in a particular year that would render the resort unable to use, the company would resolve the problem by purchasing some snow cannons to supplement the natural snow with artificial ones, thus avoid being shut down and lose a lot of money. Another part is how to communicate to the public. The same company might send out emails to their potential customers to notify them that they are experiencing snowfall shortage this year, and as a result, they might not be having a great time than they expected, so by lowering their customers’ expectations, the company wouldn't be expecting as much complaints, and thus bear less or even no damage from the snowfall shortage.
