The passage discusses a biology class announcement about a turtle watching project. Volunteers are needed to help protect hatching sea turtles from birds and other predators for 24 hours a day as the turtles make their way from their nesting sites on the beach to the water. Participants are asked to commit to at least two hours and notified that turtle watching will not excuse absences from class. The purpose is to help the baby turtles safely reach the water by having volunteers monitor them.

perpetual is revoked until you return it.
but that's impossible. I only started going to this school last month and I’m a business
major, not an artist.
Emh. This is pretty strange. Let me look out the records.
OK. You are Robert Smith?
Yeah.
You live at forty twenty-three western
No, I am living on campus, in the new ...
You did say you are Robert Smith, right?
Yeah, well, my full name is Robert James Smith, but I usually go by pa
Let me check one more thing on the computer. Aha, it's seen now. There’s another Robert
Smith in the class …, Robert El Smith. And it looks like he's the one who got the overdue
book checked out.
Another Robert Smith? No kidding
so I guess you two never met.
No, but I think I should probably try. i could at least what's just happened.
Good idea. Now let's check out these books today. But I suggest you start use your middle
name, or mid initial or avoid any problem like this in the future.

36-39: listen to part of a discussion between two students who are in the same history
architecture class.
So what do you think of that ancient Egypt temple Professor talked about in class today?
The temple in Kanenet? Oh, pretty amazing. So grand and magnificent with also so many
features.
Woo, I’m sure. After all, the temple was built to honor the ruler and according to ancient
Egyptian, the ruler was reviewed as god after the death.
Oh, no. but like that all the heavenual grand whole living up to the temple. I mean that
roadways with all those statues, sacrificial animals along both sides. All that seems
perfectly designed for the grand religious perception they often had there. And that huge
stone over the entrance of the temple was cut away.
Yeah. That was clever. cut away part of that stone, so the ...perception could pass through
the entrance under neath, even with all torn these they are carrying out of temple.
Right. How about the inside, ...? In the great hall.
You mean the columns?
Yeah.
So the columns are really amazing. i mean, like how many were there, over 100? and
each one is in the image of gods and kings cut to its surface to tell stories of their great
deeds.
Well, they were all pretty awesome. But I particularly meant the columns down the center
of the island at the hall. The one that is so much taller than others, so they raise the
central roof much higher than the roof on neither side.
Oh, yeah though. What a nature life down middle of the great hall. Architects must be
really creative.
36. What aspects of the temple of Ka.. Are the speakers mainly discussing?
37. According to the discussion, what was the avenue of ramp of a newsport?

part of its roof?
40-43. listen to part of a talk in a physics class.
OK. We’ve been talking about mechanics and then we still have a few minutes. Let me tell
you about ancient Greek and what they thought about mechanics. They came up with a …
for them to describe different motions in different materials. in more than 2000 years ago,
Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher, assumed that all the matter on earth were made
up with four substances, earth, water, air and fire. Under his system, earth is the densest,
water is the next, air is less dense than water and fire is least dense of all. The heaviest

object remains of earth and water, and lighter object contains significant amounts of fire or
air. So in Aristotle's ..., different types of matter have different characteristics. He assumes
this was because different types of matter were composed of different amounts of four
primary substances. And Aristotle believes that the motions of objects could also be
explained by the basic natures of four primary substances. eh, for example, there are
basic motion of up or down. Aristotle noted that when he released most objects, they
would drop downward. But he also knew that something could ...upward, like smoke.
Aristotle considered an object downward or upward motion to be the result of dominant
nature of the object. So according to Aristotle, matter like rock were primarily composed of
earth, therefore, they naturally want to move toward the center of the earth because this
was all thing earth rested. But fire had a different a resting place, the sky. So smoke would
naturally rise when it was released because it was driving toward its natural resting place.
40. What is the main topic of the talk?
41. Using Aristotle's system of classification, which primary substance is the densest?
42. According to the speaker, what types of motions does Aristotle's theory try to explain?
43. According to Aristotle's theory, why does smoke rise?
44-46: listen to an announcement given in a university biology class.
Hi, I'm Jim Black. Before you get to start the class today, Doctor give me a few minutes to
talk you about the biology department's ongoing turtle watching project down the south
beach. As many of you probably know, south beach is an important nesting site for the
green turtle....in the next few days, turtles from several nesting sites along the beach will
hatch ahead the water. the problem is that a lot of this hatching will never make it, rackles
and hungry birds will get many of them before they reach the ....so we have a 24-hour
watch going on now, so the volunteers will be on hand to protect the turtles after they
hatch. Oh, we also need someone to notify the owners of the beach to leave their
yard ...for the next couple of weeks. The baby turtles are tracking artificial. In fact, some of
them end up in the beach highway and killed by passing cars. So we are tracking and
minimize beach. Now if you are interested, please stop by my office in the biology
department and sign up. What we ask you to do, we are asking for at least two-hour
commitment for each participant. Oh, and please note, the turtle-watching activities do not
constitute excuse of absence from class. Thanks.
44. What is the purpose of the talk?
45. Why should homonors turn their lights off?
46. What do turtle-watching participants have to do?

47-50: listen to part of a talk in a United States history class.
well, on the topic of ...technology has made..., I’d like to spend a few minutes on the ice
industry, one of the major industry in the 1800.now, before refrigerators come to common
use, people in rural areas often have a ware or a spring house to keep perishable fruits
fresh...huge one, but a spring house was a small house that people would build over a
spring. Farm families then rely on cool water from the spring to help keep their products or
meat cool....boxes instead and they bought a lot of ice, put in these ice boxes and they
packed all the milk or meat inside to keep them fresh. So until refrigerators..., the ice
industry supplied city dwellers with these blocks of ice. Now, by 1800, people have
learned how to harvest blocks of ice from lake and cut these ice with... and storing. These
ice houses are enormous, among the largest structures anywhere in the country at that
time. They are so important that they often had rail tracks going right up next to them. In
addition to being transported by train, ice was delivered by ships all along the east coast
or further inland by ...boat. Eventually, the industry supplied blocks of ices to almost any
place in the country where people could afford such luxury.
47. What is the talk mainly about?
48. According to the speaker, what may be the ice industry of the Li?
49. What does the speaker imply about the spring houses?
