第一套

C1：学生要找一本书，必须要是某个大师亲自写的，但是图书馆里都是secondary resource。

L1: 之前纽约的很多建筑都拆掉了，拆掉这些建筑其实见证了历史变迁，具有很重还要的意义。

C2: 学生最近写海岸腐蚀的影响，这恰巧也是教授最近的研究课题，问一下能不能用学生的照片。

L2: 学校准备要安装风力发电的装置，很多人反对，因为看起来不好看。

L3：（听力VIP课原题）: 1507年出版的瓦尔德塞米勒地图（Waldseemüller map）及其在制图史上的重要意义。

第二套
C1：大概是是学生改了论文的topic，因为第一次选的主题他找不到相关的信息来写论文，教授说的是他本来可以不用改，应该先问问教授，因为教授可以帮助他来解决这个找不到信息的问题。

L1：第二个lecture是讲心理，人们解决复杂问题的时候unconscious比conscious解决问题效率更高。

L2：最后一个lecture是天文，行星存在液态水的原因。大概一个原因是white dwarf能产生能量，还有一个是吸引一些particles在行星内部撞击产生能量，这些能量都是有利于水的形成。最后教授态度其实也是不太确定的，说不同行星有不同情况。

学术讨论：
Doctor Achebe:
We've been discussing government budgets and the difficult decisions governments must make regarding the use of public funds. Some services are clearly essential and must be paid for by any government. But what about public funding of the arts? Do you believe that governments should provide financial support to artists- for example, painters. sculptors, musicians, or filmmakers? Why or buildings, my hometown really benefits why not?

Kelly：
I enjoy art as much as anyone does, but public funds come from taxes, and I don't think taxpayers hard-earned money should be spent on impractical or inessential items and services. Artists should support themselves by selling their work to private individuals and companies. If they can't find enough buyers, then maybe they should change careers.

Andrew：
Personally I think art actually is essential. Lots of public spaces in my hometown just wouldn't be the same without artwork. From statues in public parks to murals painted on the walls of government buildings, my hometown really benefits from funding the artists who created these works. The public spaces are simply more enjoyable for visitors because of the artwork.

Many residents of eastern Australia have reported witnessing large, spherical bodies of bright light floating in the sky at nighttime. These light phenomena, known as the Min Min lights (named after a small settlement in Australia), have been observed for hundreds of years. The cause of the Min Min lights is unknown, but scientists have several theories.

First, it is possible that the Min Min lights are caused by bioluminescent organisms. Bioluminescent organisms produce chemicals that generate light. One hypothesis about the Min Min lights is that they are caused by swarms of bioluminescent insects that travel across the landscape at night and emit light as they fly.

A second theory is that the Min Min lights are caused by the release of naturally occurring gases from the ground. Other mysterious lights similar to the Min Min have long been noted around the world. Most of those other lights have been found to be the result of ground gases, particularly methane gas. As methane and other gases chemically react with oxygen in the atmosphere, they ignite and produce light.

Finally, the Min Min lights may be caused by special atmospheric conditions. A warm layer of air in the atmosphere can sometimes act as a reflecting mirror.This layer of air can reflect distant light sources—for example, bright electric headlights used by automobiles—so they appear as mysterious lights floating above the horizon. The area of eastern Australia in which the Min Min lights are seen often has the correct atmospheric conditions for this type of reflection to occur.

听力

1.发光昆虫一般都很弱，不符合min min光的强度；

2.甲烷通常由腐烂分解的植物所生成，这种植物一般都在wetland，但min min发光是在dry ares；

3.min min光已经存在好几年了，那时候点灯还未被发明，不可能是电子光源反射形成；

第二套

学术讨论：
Dr. Gupta：
More and more, online shopping is becoming the primary way that many people obtain everyday goods. But what are the ramifications for the society in which we live? On the one hand, online shopping has advantages-for example, I can make a purchase without ever leaving my home. However, with fewer people shopping at local shops, in some places, these establishments are having a hard time competing. Do you think that online shopping is, on the whole, affecting society negatively or positively? 

Andrew ：
I think that online shopping is affecting society negatively overall. Many local shops in my city just can't stock their shelves with the same variety of products that you find in online stores. This is forcing some of them to go out of business, and that affects not only how much tax revenue will be generated in my local community but also the number of jobs available for people in the community.

Kelly:
It's too bad that some local shops are being forced to close down, but that's the nature of competition. As consumers, we benefit greatly from online shopping because of the lower prices. And even if I find a brick-and-mortar shop that can compete pricewise with an online seller, I am likely to buy from the online seller, because it means I do not have to spend money on transplantation to travel to the shop.

The Olmec Empire was an ancient civilization that flourished in Central America from about 1200 to 400 BCE. While the Olmec created striking art and architecture, historians are not certain that they developed a system of writing. Researchers have recently discovered a stone block in Mexico that they claim is engraved with Olmec writing. But is it rally evidence of Olmec writing? Many experts have serious doubts about that, for the following reasons

No similar objects
First, the stone block is the only Olmec object that appears to bear sins of writing. When a culture develops writing, the writing appears repeatedly on many objects. But, while many other stone blocks nave been found at Olmec sites, none of them have similar markings. This .suggests that the markings on the recently found block do not represent a writing system.

Signs may be decorative
Second, the signs on the block may have a different purpose than writing. Many of the signs look similar to designs and shapes found on ancient Olmec artwork such as figurines and masks. The designs on Olmec artwork are decorative or perhaps have religious symbolism but are clearly not written language. The similarities of the signs on the discovered block to decorative or religious designs suggest that the block may simply be an example of Olmec art and not evidence of an Olmec writing system

Origin
Finally, the discovered stone block may not even date from the Olmec times. Archaeologists generally date ancient objects by examining their original position in the ground. However, the block was found and dug up by local road workers who simply put the block in a large pile of other materials before noting its historical value. Since archeologists were unable to observe the block's position in the ground, establishing the block's true date and origin is difficult.

First, it's true that it's the only all make object that contains riding.‌‌ But remember that stone objects can experience significant weather damage.‌‌ The weathering effects of humidity,‌‌ rain and other factors will often erases any written inscriptions,‌‌ especially on objects that are more than 2000 years old.‌‌ Our Olmec block, maybe a rare example of an object that somehow‌‌ avoid these weathering effects.‌‌ Maybe the stone was buried in a type of soil that protect it from damage.‌‌ In other words,‌‌ many other Olmec stone blocks may have originally contained‌‌ inscriptions, but on most of them,‌‌ the inscriptions have been erased by weathering.‌‌ But since this block may have been protected by a special type of soil,‌‌ it has avoided damage, and its inscription has survived.‌‌

Second, the markings probably do represent writing and not just‌‌ artistic designs or decorations. ‌ When you look at how the signs on the block arranged,‌‌ you'll find that the arrangement is typical of written language,‌‌ but not of artistic designs.‌ ‌The signs on the block are arranged in separate groups.‌‌ Such groups may represent words or sentences.‌‌ Also, some signs are repeated several times, ‌‌ just like some syllables or words are repeated in written texts. ‌‌Ordering signs in groups and repeating signs are typical of writing. ‌‌ Decorative designs are not arranged in that way. ‌‌

Finally, scientists did find a way to date the block. ‌‌ You see, some ancient pottery was found next to the block. ‌‌ Ancient pottery can be dated based on its style, its shapes, ‌‌ its decorations, etcetera. ‌The pottery found at the site had a very specific style that clearly‌‌ shows that it was made during the Olmec period. ‌‌ Since the pottery and the stone block were found together, ‌ ‌we can be confident the block dates to the Olmec period, too.
