The worlds first instrument for recording earth quakes was invented in China in the second century AD. The instrument, today we would call it a seismoscope was designed by a Chinese astronomer, and geographer named Zhangheng. It was a vessel like device made of bronze and measured in 6 feet in diameter. Inside the instrument, 2)there was a pendulum that was swing from the movement of a tremor that is too weak to be felt by a human being. When the pendulum swung, it will pull one of the attached bars. The bar will open the mouth of the dragon sculpture on the outside of the vessel. And a bronze ball will drop, and fall with a clang into the open mouth of a frog sculpture below. This seismoscope could not only record the movement of an earthquake, but also show from which direction of the earthquake came. (对第一题的进一步说明)3）In AD 138, Zhangheng used his invention to announce that a major earthquake has struck 400 miles northwest of Luoyang, the Chinese capital. His report came long before 4）massagers on horse back brought news of the earthquake to the capital city. 15. For what purpose was the vessel like seismoscope invented?16. What is the function of the pendulum inside the instrument?17. According to the talk, what happened in the year AD 138?18. How was the news of earthquake brought to the capital city before the invention of such an instrument?Q19-22B: Hi Betty, nice to see you again!3)How long ago did we two meet in the student centre?1)Im glad the final examinations are over, and we dont have to stay up all night to cram all the academic stuff into our minds. G: Yes. Im glad we can be here again to relax, and have fun with other fellow students. And now we can look forward to our summer holiday. Ive been thinking of going to the States for some time.B: I think it would be much better for you to go on holiday here in England than to the United States. 2)To start with, its a lot nearer, and so it would be much cheaper to get around. That means you will have far more money to spend. G: That may be true. But thinking about when you get there. There are much more to do in the United States. There are so many different things to see, and places to go. Imagine you could go to New York, San Francisco, the Grand Canyon, and Disney World!B: Exactly! Disney World! I have been dreaming of going there ever since my childhood.G: So, you are changing your mind, arent you?B: Im still worrying about the cost of taking a trip to the States. Meanwhile, if you stay here in England, you can probably take up some part-time jobs. That way, you can earn extra money to support your study next semester.G: Maybe you are right. 4)Ill think it over, and talk about it with my parents while Im home. Anyway, it is they who pay for my study here in the university.19: What has the man been doing recently?20: Why does the man wants to spend his holiday in England?21: Where is this conversation taking place?22. At the end of the conversation, what does the woman decide to do?Q23-26All humans experience stress. It is a necessary part of life. Generally speaking, a persons ability to deal with stress is affected by his or her feelings, attitude and outlook on life. To start with, my topic for this weeks lecture is teenage stress. 1)Parents tend to think that their childrens adolescence is a carefree period of life. However, study show that teenagers can experience the most stress of all people. 2)They can experience stress related to money, family problems, self-esteem, acceptance by their peers, getting accepted into college, choosing a career, and pressure to do well in school, sports or clubs. One reason for such stress is that childhood has gotten shorter, and the perception of children has changed. With the rapid advance of information technology, 3)children can get messages that in the past, were probably meant only for adults. And the dividing line between childhood and adulthood ceases to exist. Children do not play as many as their games as we used to. And most of their games and sports nowadays are those usually performed by adults. Youngsters are encouraged to use adult language that was once never to be heard around a child. Today, our people are under tremendous pressure to achieve and succeed. 4)It seems to me that the higher our living standard is, the more stress our children experience. In any case, the way by which we live today definitely has something to do with the increase of the level of stress. Q23 According to the talk, how would parents view their childrens adolescence?Q24 Which of the following is not a stress-related phenomenon for teenagers?Q25 According to the speaker, what kind of messages can children get today?Q26 What has contributed to the increase of the level of stress?Q27-30A: Good afternoon, Mr. Brown. Wont you take a seat? Thats an attractive shirt, is that new?B: Fairly, I got it last month for my birthday. A: Its very nice. Mr. Brown, Ive been enjoying working with you, and you certainly have made some significant contributions. Today, however, I need to speak with you about a problem I have observed. When we are done speaking, I anticipate that we will have a solution worked out for this problem. Does that sound reasonable to you? B: 1)Sure, this must be serious. You are so formal.A: Yes, Mr. Brown. 2）During the past month, I have observed you returning late from lunch on 5 different occasions. I have the specific deeds listed here. B: Hey, I wasnt late, I was running errands. A: Mr. Brown, Im going to give you a chance to respond in just a minute. I need you to listen first. If we interrupt each other, we arent going to get anywhere. B: Okay.A: I first observed this change in behavior last month, but I ignored it, assuming that you were engaging in work related activities. However, the end of the month reports came in, and they reviewed a definite drop in your productivity, and significant increase in errors. I spoke with you on the 3rd, and the 17th. On each occasion, the smell of alcohol was obvious. Today, the smell of alcohol is obvious. Drinking while on the job is strictly against company policy. Is there a reason for this change in your behavior?B: There is no change in behavior. I only had one beer at lunch. Thats not a crime, is it?A: Id like this to be a problem solving session, not a warning session. You are a valuable employee, and Id like it to stay that way. Id like to help you, but you have to be willing to be truthful. Would you like to talk about this with a professional councilor?B: If you think that would help.A: I dont know if it will help. That part is up to you. But Im willing to work with you. 3）Heres the telephone number of Dr. Laurence. Id like you to call him and set up an appointment. In the mean time, 4）you must understand that alcohol during working hours is strictly forbidden. Failure to observe this rule will lead to dismissal.

I prefer having exams at the end of a school year to doing homework every week. For me, the problem with homework is that the pressure is on you all the time, and everything you do counts towards your final result. 我认为考试比做家庭作业好，和每周做作业相比，我更喜欢在学期结束时参加考试。对我来说，不喜欢做作业是因为总是觉得有压力，每做一点就决定了最后的成绩。2）With examinations, you can work really hard only in the final stages. I also like to get up early and go through my notes on the day of the exam. That way, everything is fresh in my mind. 而考试呢，我可以在最后阶段冲刺一把，我喜欢每天早早起床，把笔记复习一下，这样的话，一切在我脑中都记得很清楚。2. 1）Listening is one of the things we do most, yet listening isnt easy. First, we are surrounded by noise, people talking or shouting, the sound of traffic, or the roar of airplanes over the head, which makes any listening job a challenge.听是我们做的最多的事情之一，但听并不是件容易的事。首先，我们的周围常常有噪音，人们谈话或大声喊叫、汽车喇叭声、飞机从头顶飞过的轰鸣声。这些都使得听对我们来说成了一种挑战。2） Second, we often dont seem to remember even when we do listen. By the time the speaker has finished a 10-minute speech, the average person has already forgotten half of what was said. Within 48 hours, another 50% has been forgotten. In other word, we quickly forget nearly all of what we hear. 其次，我们常常记不住我们听到的内容。在一名演讲者完成长度为十分钟的演讲后，一般的人只能记得他讲过内容的一半，再过48小时，我们只能记得1/4了。换句话说，我们很快就把我们听到的内容近乎忘光了。TranslationE-C1. to ring true1）小说是什么？我认为是人们创造出来的故事。同时尽管是创造出来的故事，但是小说仍然有一种力量能够让人听上去感觉像真的一样。2）真的像什么呢？就像读者所知道的那种生活或者可能的生活样子，像他们所感觉的那种生活。当然我指的是对于成熟的成年读者而言。2. outgrown fairy tales3）像我们这样的成年读者已经足够长大，不再相信童话故事，不再需要奇异幻想和那些不可能发生的事情。4）所以我对你说，小说必须要成熟起来，能够让成年人将之放在生活中试验。3. Literally true book 5)你或许会说：“如果一个人需要事实，他为什么不去看完完全全真实的书呢？自传或者纪录片里都是些令人惊异的真人真事的描述。6)这当然正确，但是我对你的建议是事实和所谓的现实之间有着本质的区别。小说并不仅仅只是叙述人们的经历，小说会添加人们的经历。7)而这一点正是小说所具有的活力火花：小说家的想象力有其自己强大的力量。借助这种想象力小说家并不仅仅创造，他们去感知。8)这种想象力不断增强，给原本普普通通的日常生活注入一股力量，使它们变得额外地重要，变得更加地真实。C-E1. 大款 tycoon, big shot，money bag, fat cat(口语)2. 附庸风雅 mingle with men of knowledge and pose as a lover of culture3. 冷餐会 buffet 4.
