þ  Amusement park

þ  School clubs/ societies

þ  Volunteer work

þ  Part-time job

þ  Seminar or workshop

þ  "like-minded" friends

þ  Broaden one’s horizon

þ  Social network

Sample response

 

Well, first of all, I highly recommend participating in various kinds of clubs, especially those sorts of sports clubs like rock climbing or tennis, because it’s known that sports can bring people closer much easier. Besides, I may advise him to join regular workshops where he is interested, such as “How to cook better.” This is a good chance to meet some like-minded friends and enjoy himself at the same time.

 

Task 2:

将来人类聪明还是机器人聪明?

Brainstorming

In favor of human beings

þ  Designer in the first place

þ  Initiative to add which functions to the robots

þ  In the progress (human potentials and technology )

In favor of Robots

þ  Be very professional in a certain area

þ  Calculate faster than human beings

þ  Develop its own intelligence

 

Sample response

 

I agree with the point that people will remain smarter than robots in the future for the following reasons. To start with, we human beings are the designer and engineer of various kinds of robots in the first place, which means we can control robots’ development. Next, we have the initiative to constrain the functions of robots and let each of them to just work in one certain area rather than becoming versatile like human. Finally, people’s potential and ability is in the progress along with the technology so that we will be smarter than now.    

 

 

Task 3:

 

 

 

学校决定将电视搬出寝室,因为电视会导致学生相互交流减少并导致噪音。男生不同意,他认为电视反而能增进交流且噪音问题关门就能解决。

Sample response

 

   The man disagrees with the decision to move the televisions out of dormitory. He has two main reasons. First of all, he is against the idea that television is the cause for less communication between students. On the contrary, TV is a perfect medium for students to get much closer from his perspective. Besides, he doesn’t agree that watching TV is the main source for noise in the dorm building because there is a door of every dormitory and closing the door while watching TV will solve this problem. He says that the doors are soundproof and then the noise won’t bother students in other rooms or on the corridor.

 

*也可按照先陈述阅读内容,然后过渡到学生观点的结构作答。

 

Task 4:

阅读介绍了概念“information cascade”,意思就有些信息一经产生影响力就很大,像瀑布一样不可阻挡。在听力中教授举了一个自身的例子来证明这一概念:他曾经到一个新城市去,不知选择意大利餐馆还是法国餐馆。虽然旅游指南上推荐意大利餐馆,但是他看大家都吃法国菜也选择了法国餐馆,结果味道一般。

Sample

response

 

 

 

      In this set of materials, the reading passage describes information cascade, a psychological phenomenon occurs when people observe the actions of others and then make the same choice that the others have made, independently of their own private information signals.

     The speaker cites one experiment to illustrate the concept.

He was once in a new city and got confused whether to choose an Italian restaurant or a French one. The travelling brochures recommended Italian cuisine; however, most people in the city went to French restaurants and he finally followed the general choice. It turned out that the French dishes were nothing stunning. His decision to follow other people’s action was a perfect example of the information cascade 

 

Task 5:

 

学生定错机票,机票日期和物理考试的时间重合了。

解决方法:1. 150刀该航班时间;2. 申请将考试改到Tuesday 但是那天还有另外两门考试,也就是说要在一天之内考三门。

Brainstorming

Solution one

Reasons:

1.      Although a cost of $150, it’s convenient.

2.      Changing the exam date may leave the teacher with an impression that he is careless.

3.      Three exams in one day will cause a lot of stress

 

 

Solution two

Reasons:

1.      $150 is a lot of money while changing the date is cost-free.

2.      He can be more efficient on reviewing if there will be three exams in one day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sample

response

 

The man has booked an airplane ticket but he somehow forgot the date of his physics exam and now he is finding that the two date overlaps. The woman suggests two possible solutions. The first one is to change the flying date and it will cost him $150. The other option is talking with the professor to delay his exam to Tuesday; however, he has already got two exams on that day.  Personally speaking, I think it is better to follow the first suggestion. First of all, it is the most convenient way under such a circumstance although he may lose $150. Besides, it is important to leave a good impression to the professor and such a mistake shows he is pretty careless on the course work. What’s more, taking three exams in one day will definitely cause plenty of stress. 

Task 6:

 

教授提到如何对待不熟悉的食物并且避免中毒。方法一是只吃一点,如果已经中毒就立刻用其他食物来解毒(并举老鼠为例,老鼠就是先只吃一点,如果无毒就会出更多);方法二是老鼠吃一种粘土来中和食物
