问答题Members of the city council of a small city are considering a plan to develop a strip of land in the downtown area, between a lake and bay. Currently, the area contains several unoccupied buildings scheduled for demolition, vacant lots between buildings, and a small wooded area on the lakeside. The plan calls for the construction of several blocks of mixed- use buildings up to six stories in height. All street-level spaces will be for commercial and retail use. The upper stories will be devoted mainly to residential use. City planners have determined that development of the land will beautify and improve the area, which will motivate people to live and shop downtown. The development will help solve the city's growing need for residential space by providing much-needed housing in the downtown core. The plan includes more than one hundred condominiums, two apartment buildings, and four blocks of townhouses. Many of the residential buildings will have the added attraction of rooftop recreational facilities, such as swimming pools, tennis courts, and restaurants. The project will rejuvenate the area and turn it into a desirable place to live, thereby attracting more people to live downtown. The project will benefit the city economically in several ways. The construction phase will create numerous jobs in the building trades. Upon completion of construction, the area will attract a variety of small businesses, such as restaurants, bookstores, art galleries, clothing boutiques, and specialty shops. These businesses will provide hundreds of new jobs, as well as attract residents and tourists to the downtown area. This growth in economic activity will benefit the city through additional revenue from the sales tax. Now listen to the recording. When you hear the question, begin your response.

Read the following announcement from the housing office. NOTICE OF BAN ON COOKING IN DORMITORY ROOMS Due to stricter fire safety standards, the University Housing Office announces a new policy prohibiting all cooking in sleeping rooms. Beginning on January 1, dormitory residents will no longer be allowed to have microwaves, hotplates, or other cooking devices in their rooms. Instead, residents are encouraged to use the newly remodeled and fully equipped kitchens in the common rooms on each floor. Each kitchen has an electric range and oven, microwave oven, toaster oven, coffee maker, refrigerator and dishwasher. All food preparation and dish washing must be done in the kitchens. No food, dishes, or utensils are allowed in bathrooms. The woman expresses her opinion about the ban on cooking in dormitory rooms. State her opinion and the reasons she gives for holding that opinion.

问答题Priming Priming, one kind of implicit memory effects, refers to an increased sensitivity to certain stimuli due to prior experience. It can occur after perceptual, semantic, or conceptual stimulus repetition and it can affect the subject's judgment. It happens, for example, if a person reads a list of words including the word "table", and is later asked to complete a word starting with "tab", the probability that he answer "table" is greater than if not so primed. The effects of priming can be very salient and long lasting, even more so than simple recognition memory. Unconscious priming effects can affect word choice on a word-stem completion test long after the words have been consciously forgotten. Question: The professor uses an example to illustrate the definition of "priming". Explain how this example is related to the reading passage.

问答题The man discusses two possible solutions to the woman's problem. Describe the problem and the two solutions. Then state which of the two solutions you prefer and explain why.

问答题Alarm Signal Animal alarm calls and cries can, in fact, serve at least two distinct purposes. The first, obviously, is to warn other members of the group about the presence of predators or perceived dangers. Among some animals, these can be quite specialized. The African meerkat, for example, uses different cries for hawks and for snakes. The other purpose, a little humorously, is to drive away other group members so that the alarm-giving animal can enjoy lone access to a food source. Here the animal relies on its fellows' instinctual response to flee at the sound of an alarm without stopping to see if danger is actually present. Question: Explain how the two purposes of alarm calls mentioned in the lecture demonstrate the reading passage. Now hear a talk on the same subject.
