问答题Compared to other energy sources, wind energy is available, abundant, affordable, and clean. The wind is a renewable natural resource that is available everywhere. In the United States, the wind supply is abundant. Wind power could provide 20 percent of the electricity in the United States, with turbines installed on less than one percent of the nation's land area. Within that area, less than five percent of the land would be occupied by wind equipment; the remaining 95 percent could continue to be used for farming or ranching. Wind energy is one of the lowest-priced renewable energy technologies available today. It is affordable enough to compete with coal, oil, and gas. The wind is free, and with modern technology it can be captured efficiently. Better turbine technology has helped reduce the cost of wind energy by more than 80 percent since the 1980s. In several places around the world, energy companies offer wind-generated electricity at a cost that is almost half the cost for coal power, and around one-fifth the cost for nuclear power. Most importantly, wind power is safe and environmentally friendly. Once the wind turbine is built, the energy it produces does not cause greenhouse gases or other pollutants. Wind is a much cleaner source of fuel than coal, oil, and gas, so there are fewer emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur, and other gases that cause global warming, smog, and acid rain. Wind power will decrease our dependence on fossil fuels, which is critical to the health of all living things. Now listen to the recording. When you hear the question, begin your response.

问答题Title: 美国某部落消失的原因 大致内容 文章开头有地图，有些题去看一下地图也许有用。 讲一个科学家认为美国某部落消失的原因不像一些人说的那么简单。他觉得原因是这个文明发展壮大后，破坏了当地的生态环境，最后难以维持。他认为某些人的观点是不正确的，这个观点是因为气候干旱导致作物减产而造成的。接着讲这个科学家发现了证明他的观点的证据。1.这个文明的人使用的木材发生了变化，从一种适合建筑的木材慢慢的变为另外一种不太适合建筑的木材。他由此推论当地的生态环境发生了变化，后来使用的木材的树在火烧后很容易恢复。另外，老木材的树还可以为人们提供食物，坚果，所以老木材消失后人们的健康也受到影响。2.人们猎杀的动物发生了变化。3.在遗址中发现的种子产生了变化。通 过这三点他证明了自己的结论是正确的。接着讲文明消失的具体过程，因为人口增加，人们不断的毁林造田，也造成了资源稀缺。为了给增长的人口提供粮食，这个 文明的人被迫聚集起来协同工作。聚集起来有很多优点，可以找到更多食物等，但是也有一个致命的缺陷：不灵活，一旦气候有波动人们就会挨饿。这也就是为什么 他们消失了。

问答题Abstract Expressionism was a movement in painting that emerged in New York City in the 1940s and attained prominence in the following decade. It emphasized personal expression, individuality, and freedom from convention. Abstract Expressionism valued the act of painting itself, including the accidents and discoveries that can occur during the process of painting. For this reason, it is sometimes called action painting. The expressive method of painting was considered as important as the finished product. Artists typically applied paint rapidly and with force. They valued improvisation and painted spontaneously, without planning or sketching in advance. Abstract expressionists gave special attention to surface qualities of paint, such as brushstroke and texture. They sometimes applied paint with large brushes---dripping, splattering, or even throwing it onto a canvas. They used various tools, including their hands, to spread the paint. Some artists applied multiple layers of paint, filling the entire canvas with broad brushstrokes and thick globs of color. Abstract expressionists had a preference for dramatically large canvases. Painters rejected easel-bound canvases for over-sized surfaces that were often placed upon the floor. Their approach to space meant that all parts of the canvas played an equally important role in the total work. Huge canvases suited the heavyweight, tragic, and emotional themes. Bold use of color and texture contributed to a painting's sense of power and movement. Now listen to the recording. When you hear the question, begin your response. You may look at the reading passage during the writing time. The lecture discusses the painter Jackson Pollock. Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they illustrate specific points made in the reading passage.

问答题 ROLE CONFLICT Everyone has a role in a social system. One person may have a number of roles because he or she belongs to various social systems, such as home, school, workplace, and community. A person in a particular social role will follow the rules of behavior for that role. Each role in a social system is related to other roles in the system. Relationships such as parent and child, student and teacher, and supervisor and staff are known as role partners. When there is competition or conflict between the expectations of different role partners, we have something called role conflict. Now cover the passage and listen to the lecture. You may take notes, and you may use your notes to help you answer the question. After you hear the question, begin preparing your response. You may look at the question, but NOT at the passage.
