You are a senior advisor at the European Organization for Nuclear Research. You also seem to tour the global

2、 tirelessly, giving talks. And in addition, you have your own weekly TV show On Science. Where do you get the energy?W: Oh, well.【Q1】I just love what I do.I am extremely fortunate to have this life, doing what I love doing.M: Professor, what exactly is your goal? Why do you do all of these?W: well,

3、as you said, I do have different things going on. But these I think can be divided into【Q2】two groups: the education of science, and the further understanding of science.M: Dont these two things get in the way of each other? What I mean is, doesnt giving lectures take time away from the lab?W: Not r

4、eally, no. I love teaching, and I dont mind spending more time doing that now than in the past. Also, what I will say is, that【Q3】teaching a subject helps me comprehend it better myself. I find that it furthers my own knowledge when I have to explain something clearly, when I have to aid others unde

5、rstanding it, and when I have to answer questions about it.Teaching at a high level can be very stimulating for anyone, no matter how much expertise they may already have in the field they are instructing.M: Are there any scientific breakthroughs that you see on the near horizon? A significant disco

6、very or invention we can expect soon.W:【Q4】The world is always conducting science. And therere constantly new things being discovered. In fact, right now, we have too much data sitting in computers.For example, we have thousands of photos of planet Mars taken by telescopes that nobody has ever seen.

7、We have them, yet nobody has had time to look at them with their own eyes, let alone analyze them.Q1: Why does the woman say she can be so energetic?Q2: What has the woman been engaged in?Q3: What does the woman say about the benefit teaching brings to her?Q4: How does the woman say new scientific b

8、reakthroughs can be made possible?Section AConversation 2M: Do you think dreams【Q5】have special meanings?W: No. I dont think they do.M: I dont either, but some people do. I would say people who believe that dreams have special meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays. In the past, during the

9、times of ancient Egypt, Greece or China, people used to believe that dreams could foresee the future. But today, with all the scientific knowledge that we have, I think its much harder to believe in these sorts of things.W: My grandmother is superstitious, and she thinks dreams can predict the futur

10、e. Once,【Q6】she dreamed that the flight she was due to take the following day crashed.Can you guess what she did? She didnt take that flight. She didnt even bother to go to the airport the following day. Instead, she took the same flight but a week later. And everything was fine of course. No plane

11、ever crashed.M: How funny! Did you know that flying is actually safer than any other mode of transport? Its been statistically proven. People can be so irrational sometimes.W: Yes, absolutely. But, even if we think they are ridiculous,【Q7】emotions can be just as powerful as rational thinking.M: Exac

12、tly. People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings. But in fact, some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day. I think it was Sigmund Freud who said that childrens dreams were usually simple representations of their w

13、ishes, things they wished would happen.【Q8】But in adults, dreams are much more complicated reflections of their more sophisticated sentiments.W: Isnt it interesting how psychologists try to understand using the scientific method something as bazaar as dreams? Psychology is like the rational study of

14、 irrational feelings.Q5: What do both speakers think of dreams?Q6: Why didnt the womans grandmother take her scheduled flight?Q7: What does the woman say about peoples emotions?Q8: What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults dreams?Section BPassage 1While some scientists explore the surface

15、 of the Antarctic, others are learning more about a giant body of water - four kilometers beneath the ice pack. Scientists first discovered Lake Vostok in the 1970s by using radio waves that penetrate the ice. Since then, they have used sound waves and even satellites to map this massive body of wat

16、er. How does the water in Lake Vostok remained liquid beneath an ice sheet? “The thick glacier above acts like insulating blanket and keeps the water from freezing,” said Martin Siegert, a glaciologist from the university of Wales. In addition, geothermal heat from the deep within the earth may warm

17、 the hidden lake. The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in Lake Vostok, closed off from the outside world for more than two million years. Anything found that will be totally alien to whats on the surface of the earth, said Siegert. Scientists are trying to find a way to drill int

18、o the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination. Again, robots might be the solution. If all goes as planned, a drill-shift robot will melt through the surface ice. When it reaches the lake, it will release another robot that can swim in the lake, take pictures and look for signs of l

19、ife. The scientists hope that discoveries will shed light on life in outer space, which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions. Recently closed-up pictures of Jupiters moon, Europa, shows signs of water beneath the icy surface. Once tested the Antarctic, robots could be set to Europa to

20、search for life there, too.Q9: What did the scientists first use to discover Lake Vostok in the 1970s?Q10: What did scientists think about Lake Vostok?Q11: What do the scientists hope their discoveries will do?Section BPassage 2The idea to study the American Indian tribe Tarahumaras, came to James C

21、opeland in 1984 when【Q12】he discovered that very little research had been done on their language.He contacted the tribe member through a social worker who worked with the tribes in Mexico. At first, the tribe member named Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate. He told Copeland that no amount of m

22、oney could buy his language. But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras, Gonzalez agreed to help.【Q13】He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary. Copeland says, thanks to him, the Tarahumaras understood wha

23、t their mission was and started trusting us. 【Q14】Entering the world of Tarahumaras has been a laborious project for Copeland.To reach their homeland, he must strive two and half days from Huston Taxes. He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribes men cant easily get and gives the goods to the

24、m as a gesture of friendship. The Tarahumaras, who dont believe any humiliating wealth, take the food and share among themselves. For Copeland, the experience has not only been academically satisfying but also has enriched his life in several ways.【Q15】“I see people rejecting technology and living a

25、 very hard, traditional life, which offers me another notion about the meaning of progress in the western tradition,” he says, “I experienced the simplicity of living in nature that I would otherwise only be able to read about. I see a lot of beauty and their sense of sharing and concern for each ot

26、her.”Q12: Why did James Copeland want to study the American Indian tribe - Tarahumaras?Q13: How did Gonzalez help James Copeland?Q14: What does the speaker say about James Copelands trip to the Tarahumaras village?Q15: What impresses James Copeland about the Tarahumaras tribe?Section CRecording 1Wha

27、t is a radical? It seems today that people are terrified of the term, particularly of having the label attach to them. 【Q16】Accusing individuals or groups of being radical often serves to silence them into submission, thereby, maintaining the existing state of affairs, and, more important, preservin

28、g the power of a select minority, who are mostly wealthy white males in western society.Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon. The womens movement has been plagued by stereotypes, misrepresentations by the media, and accusations of man-hating and radicalism. When the basic foundation of f

29、eminism is simply that women deserve equal rights in all facets of life. When faced with the threat of being labelled radical, women back down from their worthy calls and consequently, participate in their own oppression.It has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves femini

30、sts because of a stigma attached to the word. If people refused to be controlled, and intimidated by stigmas, the stigmas lose all their power, without fear on which they feed, such stigmas can only die.To me,【Q17】a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm when advocates a change in the

31、 existing state of affairs.On close inspection, it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving, and therefore, is not a constant entity.So why then, is deviation from the present situation such a threat, when the state of affairs itself is unstable and subject to relentless transformation?It

32、 all goes back to maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the right of those who dont. In fact, when we look at the word radical in a historical context, nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radical in his or her time. Radicals are people who affect change.

33、 They are the people about whom history is written. Abolitionists were radicals, civil rights activists were radicals,【Q18】 even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England were radicals.Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions, mainly by sh

34、ifting the balance of power that previously existed. Of course, there are some radicals whove made a negative impact on humanity,【Q18】 but undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals. That been said, next time someone calls me a radical, I would accept that label with pride.Q16: W

35、hat usually happens when people are accused of being radical?Q17: What is the speakers definition of a radical?Q18: What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history?Recording 2We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us. For instance, you may have known someb

36、ody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent perhaps. We become part of our immediate environment. None of us are immune to the influences of our own world and let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and people in our life.Fred goes off to his new j

37、ob at a factory. Fred takes his ten-minute coffee break, but the other workers take half an hour. Fred says, “Whats the matter with you guys?” Two weeks later, Fred is taking twenty-minute breaks. A month later, Fred takes his half hour. Fred is saying “If you cant be them, join them. Why should I w

38、ork any harder than the next guy?” The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality. It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air. Only then do we realize that weve become accustomed to the nasty

39、smells. Mix with critical people and we learn to criticize. Mix with happy people, and we learn about happiness. What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly. You may well say, That is going to take some effort. It may not be comfortable. I

40、 may offend some of my present company. Right, but it is your life. Fred may say, Im always broke, frequently depressed. Im going nowhere and I never do anything exciting. Then we discover that Freds best friends are always broke, frequently depressed, going nowhere and wishing that life was more ex

41、citing. This is not coincidence, nor is it our business to stand in judgement of Fred? However, if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life, the first thing hell need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years.Its no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of ill heal

42、th, because they spend their life around sick people. Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons. Traditionally, nine out of ten children whose parents smoke, smoke themselves. Obesity is in part an environmental problem. Successful people have successfu

43、l friends, and so the story goes on.Q19 What does the speaker say about us as human beings?Q20 What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life?Q21 What does the speaker say about the psychiatrists?Section CLecture 3Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at

44、 a mere glance. Many can identify it by its sound or texture. But 【Q22】few people indeed can accurately describe the worlds most powerful, important currency.The American dollar bill is colored with black ink on one side and green on the other;【Q23】 the exact composition of the paper and ink is a cl

45、osely guarded government secret. Despite its weighty importance, the dollar bill actually weighs little. It requires nearly 500 bills to tip the scales at a pound. Not only is the dollar bill lightweight, but it also has a brief life span. Few dollar bills survive longer than 18 months.The word doll

46、ar is taken from the German word taler, the name for the worlds most important currency in the 16th century. The taler was a silver coin first minted in 1518 under the reign of Charles V, Emperor of Germany.The concept of paper money is a relatively recent innovation in the history of American curre

47、ncy. When the Constitution was signed, people had little regard for paper money because of its steadily decreasing value during the colonial era.【Q24】Because of this lack of faith, the new American government minted only coins for common currency. Interest-bearing bank notes were issued at the same

48、time, but their purpose was limited to providing money for urgent government crises, such as American involvement in the War of 1812.The first noninterest-bearing paper currency was authorized by Congress in 1862, at the height of the Civil War. At this point, citizens old fears of devalued paper currency had calmed, and the dollar bill was born. The new green colored paper money quickly earned the nickname greenback.Today, the American dollar bill is a product of the Federal Reserve and is issued from the twelve Federal Reserve banks arou
