W: Dr Manning, do you have a few minuets. I’d like to ask you about this fossil I found.
M: Sure Jon. What have you got there?
W: Well, it’s some kind of shellfish. I thought is might be a brachiopod, but I am not sure. I found it
when I went out hiking last weekend.
M: I think you might be right. It certainly appears to be a brachiopod. But it’s easy to confuse them
with the bivalve mollusks. Superficially they resemble one another. Both have two shells for
example.
W: How can you tell them apart then?
M: Well, there are some minor differences in the shell. A lot of brachiopods have ridge shells like
this one. There are other distinctions of course. Internally they are quite different. Mollusks and
brachiopods belong to different animal groups, and they have been in competition with one another
millions of years ago.
W: How old do you think this one is?
M: It’s hard to tell. The earliest brachiopods were from the Paleozoic era, 300 to 500 million years
ago. They were quite successful then in terms of number of species. It’s not out of the question that
your fossil could be that old.
W: Wow, that’s amazing. Kind of makes paleontology seem more interesting when you can hold it in
your hand.
M: You know that gives me an idea. Would you mind bring this to our next class? The others might
find it interesting too.
W: Well, I could. But if you don’t already have one in your collection, I thought you might as well
keep it.
M: That’s very kind of you.
31. What are the speakers mainly discussing?
32. Why does the prof mention bivalve mollusks?

M: I am so relieved I just finished the story I was working on for our creative writing course.
W: I haven’t quite finished mine yet. I had trouble getting pass the beginning.
M: How come?
W: Well, I was really happy to be writing a detective story. But after the first few pages, I sort of
froze up mentally. I just couldn’t write any more.
M: The same thing happened to me. I thought it meant I lack imagination.
W: Well, Prof Wilson said it’s pretty common for writers to get stuck like tat.
M: You went to talk to her about it?
W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But instead she gave me some
advise about how to keep from getting stalled writing like that. She said that the first thing I should
do is just write anything that come into my head even if it doesn’t make any sense, sort of burble
warm up exercise.
M: That is interesting. When I got stuck, I shift to something else, you know, do some work for one
of my other courses.
W: Well, her methods seem have worked for me. I’ve written most of the story, and I should be able
to hand it in on time. But first I need go to the jewelry store.
M: You are going shopping? Can’t you wait until you finish your story?
W: I am going there for my store. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery. So I want to take a
look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, where the security cameras are located, that sort of
thing.

Part C
40-42 biology
Today, we are going to talk about a special way some plants respond to being invaded by pests. The
plants react by emitting a chemical signal, which acts like a call for help. Let’s take corn plants for
example. Sometimes, caterpillars chew on the corn leaves. When the caterpillar saliva mixes with
the chew portion of a leave, the plant releases a chemical scream that attracts wasps. The wasps
respond to the signal by flying to the chewed on leave, and laying their eggs on the caterpillars. The
caterpillars die in the next few days as the wasp offspring nourish themselves by feeding of them.
Thus the corn plant prevents all its leaves from being eaten by the caterpillars. This chemical
scream is specific. It’s only released after the plant has detected the caterpillar saliva. A plant that is
cut by in the other means does not give off the same signal, nor doesn’t undamaged plants. This also
explains how a wasp can find a caterpillar in a huge field of corn. Soybean, cotton and probably
many other plants use similar type of defense against pests. By enhancing this natural response in
plants, researchers might reduce, some day even eliminate, the need for chemical pesticide, which
can cause ecological damage. For example, scientists might breed plants for this screaming trait, or
they might transplant specific genes to increase the release of the chemical signals.
40. What’s the main purpose of the talk?
41. What causes the corn plant to emit the chemical signal?
42. How can a wasp find a caterpillar on a corn plant?

43-47 religious study

Today, we are going to continue our discussion of Buddhism. In our last class, we talked about how
it practiced. Today, I’d like to talk a little about early Buddhism, which we really don’t know much
about. Well, what is known is that the teachings of Buddhism were memorized, and passed on
orally for centuries by its followers. Recently, there was an important discovery of Buddhist
manuscripts that are believed to be the oldest ever found. They may be 2,100 years old. And there
maybe as many as 20 of them. It’s expected that we will be able to learn from them about the spread
of Buddhism from present day India into China, and throughout Asia. But the scrolls themselves
have presented challenge too. They were very fragile, found rolled up in clay pots. Before they even
could be looked at, they need to be dampened over night in fact, and then carefully flattened with
tweezers. And it’s not that anybody could just sit down and read them. The scrolls were written in a
language that is really rare today. Only a few people are proficient at it. Considering these
challenges, it’s easy to understand why it takes scholars so long to examine the scrolls.
43. What is the main topic of the talk?
44. According to the speaker, what’s one aspect of the manuscript that is very significant?
45. What was an early source of information about Buddhism?
46. What do scholars expect to learn about from the manuscripts?
47. What has made it difficult to study the manuscripts?

48-50 US history
About 200 years ago, the United States economy was growing quickly, mainly because a booming
trade in grain and cotton. This trade is grain and cotton went on near areas near or at the cost, or
near navigable rivers. It took place there because it was so expensive to transport goods over the
roads that existed. They were muddy, narrow, and hard to travel on. At that time, don’t forget there
was only one continuous road that existed in the US, and it was made up of north to south local
country roads, linked together to get one long road. Within a short time, the first east-to-west roads
were built. They were called turnpikes. Private companies built these roads, and collected fees from
all vehicles traveled on them. Eventually, a network of dirt, gravel or plank roadways connected
some major cities and towns. But even these turnpike roads were still very slow, and traveling on
them was too costly for farmers. They would spend more money to move their crops than they got
by selling them. So, we see that even with some major improvement in roadways, farmers still had
to rely on rivers to move their crops to markets.
48. What’s the talk mainly about?
49. According to the prof, what cause the growth of the US economy about 200 years ago?
50. According to the prof, what did private companies do after they built new roads?
