M: I know. Playing right after class was something to look forward to.
W: Yeah and it was right before dinner so we’d build up an appetite
M: I guess I’ve been busy I guess and my stomach’s been bothering me today
W: But you look okay to me.
M: Well, I was up late with Steve in the library working on a project we gotta do by tomorrow for the anthropology class. We’ve been working on it all weekend. And I was drinking a lot of coffee. I guess I just drank too much.
W: Listen, I took that class last semester and I can meet you in the library later tonight and help you with it if you want. And then you’d have time to play tennis this afternoon.
M: Yeah I guess my stomach doesn’t hurt that bad and I can certainly use your help. But it’s also…

Q:35- 38 Listen to a conversation between two students.
M: How about a walk Nancy?
W: Sure let’s go now before it gets dark
M: What’s your hurry?
W: Haven’t you noticed? The streetlights on campus are different. They give off a hazy yellow glow that makes some colors fade out. It’s not as much fun taking an evening walk as it was before.
M: Oh you mean the new sodium bulbs. Yea that was in the newspaper. They make things look different all right. But they provide better visibility than regular lighting. They are tuned to the colors in which human vision is the sharpest and that section is amplified. The problem is that a lot of the colors are blacked out.
W: Well I don’t feel comfortable when green looks like brown. Sodium bulbs might make sense for highways though, if they really do improve visibility so much.
M: Yea, and the interesting thing is that the new halogen headlights on cars cancel out the adverse aspects of sodium lighting and the colors appear natural again.
W: Well then sodium bulbs should be used only where there are a lot of cars. Why are they in places where I want to take a quiet walk. The city must be trying to save money
M: It is. Sodium bulbs last about 7 times longer than regular bulbs. You can’t beat that I guess
35.What is the main subject of this conversation?
36. Why does the woman want to take a walk right away?

Part C
Q:39- 41 Listen to part of a talk in an architecture class.
I’d like to share with you today, my experience with a new approach to building a house. It’s called envelope building. Essentially what it means is that as you are building the house, you try to leave the landscape features on the land, especially the vegetation in their original condition. So what you are not doing, is the usual practice of “land scraping” by which I mean literally scraping or clearing land of any and all original plants.
Why is the approach called envelope building? Because instead of clearing everything away you let the original landscape elements envelop or surround your house. Like a vegetation, physical features such as hills and slopes interesting rock formations, constitutes a significant part of the character of the building site. The design of the house should take these features of the property into account. Actually, integrating the original wild landscape with a house is not that new. The famous American architect Frank Lyod Wright was doing it about 65 years ago, so we are in good company. Envelope building is not as easy as it sounds though. Its not that you just build your house and leave the land alone. By building, you’re already damaging the original landscape. But as architects, we should try to work with environment, not against it. A creative architect can find ways to incorporate the natural landscape into the overall design. For example, Wright used the massive boulders on the side of one of his most famous houses as part of the house’s foundation
39. According to the professor, what does the term land scraping refer to?
40. In envelope building, what is done with the landscape features of a building site?
41. Why does the professor mention the architect Frank Lyod Wright?
Q: 42-46 Listen to part of a lecture in a law class.
Today we are going to talk about copyrighting works of art. A copyright is proof of authorship. It protects artists against someone else using their work without their permission. It’s important to remember the United States copyright law protects
artistic impressions such as paintings but does not protect any idea, concepts, procedures, or technique. In older United States copyright law, artists needed to take several steps to obtain copyright protection. The law was changed in 1978 and again in 1989. For artists, the current law means everything they create is automatically and immediately copyrighted. They don’t have to file any documents. And under the protection of the copyright law, any re-creations of their original work such as prints are also covered by the artist’s copyright. Furthermore, any changes the artists make to their original works are covered. The Law also makes it clear that when someone buys a work of art they are not allowed to destroy or change that work of art. Artists keep the copyright even after selling a work of art. The purchaser may buy the physical work but the right to make prints or copies is still the artists. And the buyer does not automatically have any right to make and sell prints or copies of work. Although works are automatically copyrighted, artists are encouraged to register their work with the United States copyright office. Registering art provides additional legal protection and also gives people around the world the ability to approach the owners about licensing or purchasing right.
42. What is the talk mainly about?
43. When does the artist copyright start?
44. What does the United States copyright law state about a work of art that is sold?
45. What does the professor say about the United States copyright law?
46. What is an advantage of registering art with the United States copyright office?
Q: 47- 50 Listen to part of a lecture in a psychology class.
Today let’s talk about Synesthesia. That’s a brain condition in which a person’s senses are combined in unusual ways. For example, a person with Synesthesia may taste sounds. To them a musical note may taste like a pickle. Many people who have Synesthesia experience intense colors when they hear specific words. For example, they might see a flash of pink every time they hear the word “jump.” For a long time, many scientist were unconvinced that Synesthesia really exists. So in the 1990s, an experiment was done to find out for sure. Two groups were studied. One was a group of people who claimed to experience colors when they heard certain words. The other was a control group. People who experienced nothing out of the ordinary when hearing words. Each group was asked to describe the colors they thought of when they heard a list of spoken words. When the test was repeated, the difference between the two groups was startling. After just a week, the control group gave the same answers only a third of the time. But even a year and a half later, the Synesthesia group gave the same answers 92 percent of the time. Clearly this is not just a matter of memory. Scientists are still not sure just why Synesthesia happens, but certain drugs are reportedly able to produce it artificially. So we all probably have brains with connections that could produce Synesthesia, it’s just that the connections normally aren’t used in that way.
47. What is the main purpose of the talk?
48. What is one example of that the professor mentions?
49. What was the purpose of the experiment the professor mentions?
50. What were some people in the study able to do?
