M:Professor White is really into class discussion. Almost in every of his calss he would organize class discussion. To be honest, I’m fed up with it. W:Really? Don’t you feel it enjoyable an quite beneficial? M:No, I just feel it’s a wast of time. W:I can’t see eye to eye with you. No matter what you think, I still believe class discussion is a good way of teaching and learning. As you know, class discussion can get us students more involved in what is being studied rather than sit there and listen all the time. We have a chance to speak our minds and share what we know about the subjects. Don’t you feel the same way? M:Well, in a way what you said is true, but I’d rather listen to what the professor knows about the subjects, for he is expected to be better informed. I don’t think there is any point in wasting our time listening to other students who are as ignorant as us. W:We may be ignorant in many aspects compared to the professor. But our opinions and experiences are also worth listening to and learning from. As the proverb goes, four eyes see more than two. M:Sure, I understand many hands make light work. But some students are often dominant and aggressive in the discussion and do not respect other’s right to speak. I hate those self-important and irritating fellows. W:I admit there are such moments in class discussion. But we should do justice to class discussion though some students fail to behave themselves and focus on the topic. 22.How does the man think of the class discussion? 23.Why does the woman believe class discussion is a good way of teaching and learning? 24.Why would the man rather listen to the professor? 25.What can we learn from the conversation? 听力passage原文 1. In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hour, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. If a late telephone call is regarded in the United States as a cause for concern, imagine the excitement and fear caused by a crowd of people arriving at the door at 2:00 a.m. On an island in the south Pacific, a plant manager from the United States had just such an experience. The natives of the island met one night to discuss a problem. When they arrived at a solution, they did not know that it is a very serious matter to wake up Americans at such an hour. The plant manager, who did not understand the local culture, thought there was a fight and called out the police. It never occured to him ( or to the natives) that parts of the day have different meanings in different cultures. 26.According to the United States customs, what does a very early telephone call mean to an American? 27.Why does the native go to the plant manager’s home and wake him up? 28.What was the manager’s immediate reaction to the native’s arrival? 2. I will let you know that there’s a big difference between undergraduate and graduate school. Undergraduate school is very course-intensive. That’s all you do:go to classes and go to labs. In graduate school, you have a lot of free time. Much of your learning is self-initiated, and you’re typically taking a much lighter class load. This gives you more time for independent study and research. While you’re in graduate school, you’re going to have to develope yourself as a scientist. Y ou do this by performing creative and thorough research and developing a reputation for being a good scientist. Y ou’ll also be developing your speaking skills. Y ou have to be comfortable in presenting your results and your research to very critical audiences. That’s very important. Y ou also want to attend conferences where you can mingle with your peers and groups from other universities, because these will eventually be your colleagues at some point. Also, it’s important to attend seminars and colloquy that your university has. Not only does this keep you informed of what is the latest and greatest in your areas, but also lets you hear about other unrelated areas as well. Y ou can’t be so focused;you have to have a broad base of knowledge. 29.Who has more time to do research? 30.Why should the graduates develope their speaking skills? 31.Which of the following is not the purpose of attending a seminar? 3. Mass media are tools of communication. Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered audience. They extenf our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers caused by time and space. There are various ways in which mass media daily life easier for us. First, they inform and help us keep a watch on our world. They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to obtain on our own. Second, mass media help us to arrange our time and life. What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media. When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings in the newspaper or on TV. Because we are exposed to differing points of view through different kinds of media every daty, we are able to evaluate all sides of a certain issue. Third, the media re used to persuade people. A good example is advertisements through the media. Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements. Though many advertisements may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain products, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them. Fourth, the media also entertain. All of the media make some efforts to try to entertain their audience. For instance, even though the newspaper is primarily a medium of information, it also contains entertainment features. Television, motion pictures, fiction books and some radio station and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment. It is estimated that in the future, the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now. 32.Which of the following is not the function of mass media mentioned? 33.Why do people talk about certain matters on newspapers or on TV? 34.How do advertisement make people purchase certain goods according to the passage? 35.Which of the following media is mainly devoted to information according to the passage?
