问答题Evidence that some animals possess self-awareness comes from a series of experiments in which animals appear to recognize themselves in mirrors. Researchers have repeatedly demonstrated the mirror-recognition ability of chimpanzees by using a procedure called the "mark test." For several days, chimpanzees were exposed to a mirror so they would become used to it. Then, one day they were given a sleeping drug, and while the chimps were asleep the researchers marked one eyebrow and one ear on each animal with a bright red dye. The researchers then watched the chimpanzees to see what they would do when they woke up and noticed the red mark. At first the chimps were placed in their cage without the mirror. On average, they touched the marked areas only once during a half-hour. Then the mirror was brought in, and the chimpanzees on average touched the marked spots seven times in a half-hour. The mark test clearly showed that the chimps touched their heads and faces more when the mirror was present. Some of them touched the marked spots while they looked at their image in the mirror, and then sniffed or examined their fingers. The researchers concluded that the chimpanzees recognized the red mark as being on their own bodies, suggesting that chimpanzees are self-aware. When the chimpanzees recognized themselves in the mirror, they would often groom themselves. They used the mirror to explore the insides of their mouths. They made faces and stuck out their tongues. These results strengthened the hypothesis that chimpanzees have a concept of self and are able to recognize the image in the mirror as their own. Now listen to the recording. When you hear the question, begin your response. You may look at the reading passage during the writing time. Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on specific points made in the reading passage.

问答题有一个画家的风格十分独特，他偏向使用对比强烈的画面来构图，比如白色的房子后面是黑色的背景，房子空无一人，窗户却开着，有评论家说或许画家在表达他的观点：现代的人内心孤独的状态（有题，问评论家认为他的绘画风格说明什么）。但是画家并不认为他的画是描绘孤独的人。 他的画面总是以light and shadow表达情感，而且他特别喜欢用普通的事物，普通的人，不起眼的地方。他选择的绘画题材都是其他画家通常不会选择的。比如在海边别的画家通常会选择beach, 他选择lighthouse, 比如在某个城市旅游，他却选择比较古堡式mansion的1800s的建筑，别的画家多画20世纪1900s现代化的建筑，如摩天大楼啊。他的趣味比较独特，比较怀旧，对于1800s的事物很感兴趣，似乎他更愿意停留在过去的世界里（有题，以下哪些是画家的题材，5选3）。但是后边再来了一个反转，说他也不是完全不懂20世纪的风尚的。他喜欢20世纪初期的电影和剧院，所以他就像电影的光影大师一样，在他的画中玩弄light and shadow（有题，问提到20世纪初的电影的目的是什么）。然后说，这个画家的画作总是用最简单的东西和复杂的明暗引人深思，就好像在讲故事一样。 有学生问，这个特点不是某个画家也有吗？然后老师说，这个画家和那个画家看似相同，实际上很不一样。那个画家的画面侧重讲故事，看完之后你就知道发生了什么，但是这个画家的画却有着很多不确定性unpredictable, 画面构图总是引人浮想联翩，又不能做出确定的explanation, 这就是这个画家最引人入胜的地方（有题，教授认为这个画家画作最大的成就是什么）。然后讲到当时的critic怎么了，但当时的民众对他的画作很是喜欢，因为题材都是贴近生活的普通事物，而且他的画就像在讲故事一样，却有着开放性解释，mysterious。当时30s大萧条的时候，他的画还蛮受欢迎的。总之，教授最后总结道，因为这样和那样的独特之处，这个画家禁得住时间的考验，地位就比别的画家高很多。

问答题A Letter from a Student A student writes a letter to propose that the university should create a new magazine for psychology majors. The reasons are rather clear. First, the psychology program is first-rate. The students are all talented writers and are working to complete long thesis papers and other articles. Therefore, creating a psychology magazine will encourage more students of this major to publish their papers and gain some visibility. Second, other students can learn how to write papers, and it is an excellent way to recognize students who work hard. Question: The discussion talks about the proposal in the letter. Briefly summarize the proposal and explain the woman's opinion towards the letter and why she holds that opinion.

问答题Briefly summarize the problem the students are discussing. Then state which solution you would recommend. Explain the reasons for your recommendation.

问答题Passive-aggressive Behavior Passive-aggressive behavior is a personality trait that shows disagreement, anger, or resentment of someone by resistance to fulfilling that other's legitimate expectations, but in non-obvious ways. This may occur in both social and work situations. Its most obvious manifestation is failure to perform tasks for which one is responsible, but there are other behaviors as well. These include learned helplessness-the demand for help performing simple tasks-stubbornness, procrastination, sullenness, and lack of initiative. Question: Using the information from the lecture, explain how the professor's personal experience of showing up late to his sister's dinner party demonstrates passive-aggressive behavior as discussed in the reading passage.
