问答题 THE PROGRAM SEMINAR The program seminar is the primary mode of instruction for students at Central College. A program of study might involve 80 students and four faculty members, but most of class time is spent in small group discussions--the seminar. Seminar content centers on a theme or issue relevant to the program. For students, the close interaction with faculty and fellow students provides perspective through differing viewpoints, and depth through concentrated group effort. Students learn to express themselves and to work cooperatively--two traits that our graduates have found particularly helpful in their lives and careers.

问答题Process Explanation Process explanation is a description of an orderly process such as a math formula or a scientific technique. It often happens when someone encounters some difficulties in operating particular projects. There are two types of process explanation: directive explanation and informational explanation. Directive explanation is to directly demonstrate or tell people how to carry out a project step by step. Informational explanation means giving people a general idea about the project without presenting how to follow the instructions and finish the tasks accordingly. Question: The professor gives his personal experience to illustrate the definition and two types of "process explanation". Explain how this example is related to the reading passage.

问答题Removal of Vending Machines on Campus In a surprise move, the University of California announced yesterday it will begin a campus-wide ban on vending machines. The ban, which applies to both dormitories and classroom building corridors, will go into effect at the beginning of Spring Semester 2012. Dr. Ralph Birkenstock, Campus Wellness Facilitator noted two main reasons for the ban. "Vending machines sell junk food," he said. "Removing the machines will enforce healthy eating by students. If a few uncooperative individuals still feel the need to buy snacks, there is that big supermarket right off campus." Question: The woman expresses her opinion of the proposal to remove vending machines on campus. State her opinion and explain the reasons she gives for holding that opinion. Now hear a conversation between two students.

问答题Proposal from a Student Students enrolled at the Newton Technical Institute can borrow as many books as they need. But I am pleased to propose that the volume of books students check out each time should not be more than ten. By limiting the number of books in circulation students can focus better on the materials and acquire more information and details they need while doing research.

问答题For this task, you will write a response to a question about a reading passage and a lecture. You may take notes, and you may use your notes to help you write your response. Your response will be scored on the quality of your writing and on how well you connect the points in the lecture with points in the reading. Typically, an effective response will have 150 to 225 words. Parents and teachers generally believe it is best for children to study and play with other children of the same age. For this reason, same-age peer groups are the norm for children, both in and out of school, and at all ages, from infancy through adolescence. When children are organized into groups with their peers, it encourages tolerance and cooperation and discourages conflict and competition. Peer groups build tolerance and decrease conflict because the children are equals in terms of status and power. Even when peers tease each other, the teasing is acceptable because it occurs among equals. Joking and teasing will actually build toleration among peers, who are able to work out any differences without the intervention of adults. Because peers are at the same stage of mental and physical development, structured competition is a positive experience for them. The healthy competition of team sports, games, and other contests will challenge individuals to perform well in order to benefit the group. Contests and competition between same-age peer groups will reduce conflict because the competition is structured and managed in a healthy, enjoyable manner. Competitive games build teamwork and group pride because winning the game is a shared success. Cooperation comes naturally to children of the same age because they experience the same events and issues at the same level of development. Peers are friends, classmates, and teammates who learn together in a healthy, sharing environment. Same-age peer groups play an important positive role in children's socialization because they promote cooperation and group identity. 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 challenge specific points made in the reading passage.
