W: Jane, you know Jane White, she teaches physics, she just told me about how she livens up her
classes.
M: What did she do?
W: Well, basically, she takes something they are interested in, like music, and tries to relate
principal of science to that. Otherwise, the concepts seem to go right over their heads.
M: Do you mean, for example, she’d use rock and roll to demonstrate the principles of acoustics
in physics?
W: Exactly, in fact, she said she had used music, and she’d used movies, especially, science fiction
in her classes too.
M: Sounds like her methods worth a try. But I need a few more details. Maybe I’ll go and see her
tomorrow. Thanks

physics class?

M: I didn’t come to San Diego on spring break to talk about professor Book’s physics class.
W: I know, me neither, I was just answering your question, that’s all.
M: What question?
W: You weren’t even paying attention to your own question
M: I was just complaining about the hot sand. Considering what the water’s like, I wonder how
the sand can be so hot?
W: Well, professor Book’s lecture on specific heat might give you a clue. Water has a higher
specific heat than sand.
M: Then why is the sand so much hotter if water has a higher specific heat?
W: Don’t you remember? Specific heat is the energy need to raise the temperature of something. If
something has a high specific heat, like water, it takes more energy to raise its temperature.
M: I see. So you are saying that something with a high specific heat, like water, doesn’t get hot as
fast as something with a low specific heat, like sand, right?
W: Right. So sand gets hot faster during the day, that’s why it’s so hot while the water’s still cool.
M: I guess you are right, I should pay more attention in class.
36, What is the woman trying to explain to the man?
37, What is the man complaining about?
38, What does the woman say about the water?
Part C
39-42, Listen to part of the presentation about elm tree
Good evening, I am Steve Johnson and I represent the American Elm Society. Today I’d like to
introduce you to some of the problems faced by elm trees. Many of you are familiar with this huge
tree. It’s found in many areas of US and Canada in cities and small towns. Well, as you may know,
the American elm has been threatened by a dangerous disease. The disease is caused by a fungus,
when that fungus infects the tree, it blocks the circulation of water inside the tree. As a result, the
tree cells don’t receive water and without water, of course they can’t survive. The tree’s leaves
become dry, fall off, and eventually the tree dies. You may be interested in how the disease is
transmitted, well, a very small insect called elm bug beetle brings the fungus with it. The beetle
uses the tree to reproduce itself. The female builds channels in the wood for the eggs, at the same
time, it infects the tree with fungus. The worst thing is that the process seems unstoppable,
because once the beetle leaves the infected tree it carries the fungus on its body and poisons a
healthy tree. Of course, we are trying to fight the disease, in the past, infected trees were simply
cut down. That method reduces the number of the infected trees but it never stop the disease. Now
experts are trying to get to the root of the problem, they are working on ways to control the beetle
that spreads the disease.
39, What is the talk mainly about?
40, What is causing the death of the infected elm trees?
41, According to the speaker, what causes the healthy elm tree to become weak?
42, According to the speaker, how do experts hope to limit the spread of the disease in the future?
43-46, Listen to a part of the guide tour in the museum.

So, now we are in the room with naïve art, produced in the United States during 18 and 19
centuries. At that time, people of many nations had come together to form a single nation. The

future of these people was unknown and they didn’t share a history together. The absence of
tradition created a need for inventing a new one. These were some of the factors allowed naïve art
to grow as an art form in the United States. Because everything was new and without past, there
was no such thing as art education. That’s how these artists got to be called naïve artists. Most of
you probably already know the French word naïve meaning not have much world knowledge. So,
unlike professional artists, naïve artists didn’t have formal training in different academics and
studios. Instead, since they were eliminated by tradition, they made their own rules, were
generally self-taught and their paintings had a true feeling for color form and world around them.
There’s very little "known" about early naïve artists in the United States because many of them did
not sign their works. However, we do know that they followed similar themes. Many naïve artists
started out as portrait painters. They travel from town to town and made portraits for different
families especially in the days before photography. People generally wanted portraits as evidence
of their existence for future generations. Compared to French naïve paintings that are less realistic,
naïve artists in United States painted images that were neat, positive, extremely accurate and
almost photographic. Now, in the next room, let’s take a look at naïve artists’ work in France.
43, What does the speaker mainly discuss?
44, How did naïve artists differ from professional artists?
45, How did the speaker describe the paintings of the American naïve artists?
46, According to the speaker, what factor makes learning about early naïve artists difficult?
47-50, listen to a lecture in an American history class.
The focus of today’s class is on an important element in the development of United States cities,
something the modern cities need to survive: efficient transportation. The rapid growth of cities in
th
19 century created a serious problem. Growth obviously made greater distances between people’s
th
home and their work places. People could no longer rely on walking. By the mid 19 century,
some United States cities had used railways drawn by horses, but they were very slow. The city
planners understood that without improved transportation cities could not grow any larger and
they worked on invention of system in trolley cars on cables, powered by steam engines. These
cables were able to pull cars up the steep hills of San Francisco and so other large cities installed
similar systems in 1880s. But although faster than horses, these cable cars still weren’t fast enough
to solve the transportation problems of United States cities. Our real breakthrough came thanks to
electricity. Electric trolleys move twice as fast as the old horse drawn railways and they were quite
and clean. They designers of electric trolleys came up with the new control system that allowed
each part to be powered independently and have its own breaks, what’s safer and more efficient
than cable cars. Electricity also helped the next great advance in urban transportation, the subway.
It solved one problem that the early English subways suffered from, unbearable smoke of steam
engines that made breathing in the subway tunnels almost impossible.
47, What is the talk mainly about?
48, According to the professor, what problem did many people face as cities grew larger?
49, Other than theirs speed, in what way were electric trolley cars better than cable cars?
50, According to the professor, what major advantage for the subway did electricity offer?
