1. describe one object that has you value, and explain why.
思路点拨：
可以说一个生日礼物，如亲手制作的首饰盒，侧重说友谊和创意；
可以说学习用品，如电脑啊，侧重为学习提供了很大方便；
可以说一本书，名字叫什么，百读不厌，给你的人生最大的激励。
物品可以选择房间里面的物品，这个话题算是比较简单的了。
2. first observation can tell a person or you need to take more time to know a person. Which one you support, and why?
思路点拨：建议选择后者，谈论的是人与人的交往。
选择后者，是因为1，我相信一句名言：路遥知马力，日久见人心；2，只有在和一个人的交往中，在需要别人帮助的时候才可以看出一个人是否是真正的朋友。
3. One university plans to build a new art building.
一个女学生支持这个计划，原因：1.现在的环境太dim，学艺术的学生在作画的时候需要明亮的光线，所以要造新楼。2. 吸引更多的学生入学。
总结该女生对盖楼计划的态度，以及原因。
思路点拨：这是少有的一次表示支持的观点。
理由两个也比较典型。1，C-Convenience，对某些学生提供了方便；2，S-School，对学校是比较有利的。
当然如果这个话题不同意也可以相处理由课程是：N-Noise，会有噪音；P-Pollution，会有污染；M-Money，担心建设用的钱太多会影响学生的学费等。
4. quoted out of context
做marketing的人常常引用名人的话，来证明自己的产品很好，但往往这种手段是断章取义. It’s misleading to potential customers.
文章举例说以前有部movie,援引一个批评家的评论，但是断章取义误导消费者。
口述：what is quoted out of context, and describle the example
思路点拨：术语：quoted out of context，意思是断章取义。
网络上找到的原文回顾：The movie producer quoted a very prominent movie critic’s review that the movie is “delightful”, in their local newspaper advertisement. Many people went for this movie because they believed that critic thought highly of this movie. But actually, the critic thought very negatively about this movie and it was the worst she had ever watched. She only meant that the movie actress was “delightful”, not the movie!
5. the boy erased his paper on computer, no backup. He has to email the paper to his professor by midnight today.
The girl provided two suggestions: 1. call computer helpdesk, they have people to deal emergency after day hour,but it’s expensive. 2. ask his professor for extension
口述：what are the two suggestions? Which one you recommend?
思路点拨：见到这个题目，我就已经预测到两个建议是什么了。这里建议1，术语CCA里面的Consult，求助某人，这里求助的是前台的工作人员做数据恢复；2，求助某人，Consult，这里求助的是教授，既然是论文，那么申请延期是一个绝对经典的理由，建议各位牢记。
6. introduce two types of innovation:
a. intentional: inventors identified the needs, they invent product to improve life or meet people’ needs. Example: the invention of bifocal eye glasses enables people to see distand and close-up objects only using one pair of glasses.
b. accidental: discovered by chance. The example is invention of X-rays during electricity experiment.
口述：describle two types of innovation and examples.
思路点拨：第六题出现的这类正反两个方面的词汇比较多，除了intentional和accidental，还有cutting and adding; moving and stable; color and shape; price and quality.等，建议同学们总结一下以往机经中出现的反义词组，并作为回忆题目的标志性词汇。

Question 1: describe an opportunity and why it is importantQuestion 2: whether should student bring cell phone to classQuestion 3: library change。大桌换小桌，隔离空间1。学习效率2。增加座位。男的反对说1。学习就要get together2。没有over crowded的迹象，浪费钱Question 4: ritualization behavior. 举了狗的例子。show their teeth before attackQuestion 5: 男的paper被退回来了赶不上deadline。女的建议ask for extension of deadline or do his best with the time left这个大概是这样，听得时候走神了。。Question 6: culture diffusion（忘了，似乎是这个）.举了例子newspaper 来自德国和中国，diffusion会take a long distance and a long period of time。 而且不easy, 这里举了中国针灸的例子，即使接受了但也没有完全领悟Chinese medical philosophy
2007.10.28１．There are many factors you may want to take into consideration when you choose a university, such as location, size and cost. Which one is especially important for you? Why?２．Some people say modern technology has made people’s lives a lot simpler. Others say technology has complicated our lives. What do you think?３．大学要把Sanders field变成新的停车场，那破地儿原来是大家进行体育锻炼的地方，两年前盖了新体育场之后就荒废了，所以学校这会儿想把它利用起来，似乎主要是给住宿舍的同学停车，住在校外的人也可以停。mm觉得这个计划很过分，因为她说Sanders field其实根本就没荒废过，两年来全校同学都在上面遛弯呢，累了就去那放松放松，或者打个盹儿，要学习也行，多好一地儿啊，学校需要这样的open area. 另外呢，宿舍区已经有了足够的停车位，从来都没满过呢。大家需要的新车位其实是在教学楼附近的，从sanders field去教学楼，最少要走十五分钟呢，所以，这计划不必要也不合理。 ４．阅读文章是讲illusion of transparency，就是我们有特强烈的情绪的时候，会想当然地认为别人都能察觉到，我心似海洋般透明，because we are so intent on the strong emotion that we assume it is also obvious to others. 但是实际情形往往都是相反。讲座里的教授用自己的亲身经历解释这个概念，说 The other night, I went to a dinner party at a friend’s home, Mary. And she’s a great cook. But when she served the main dish, I felt the smell of a certain spice – garlic, which I dislike a lot. I can’t even stand its smell，所以这哥们只能忍啊忍装啊装，千方百计不让女主人察觉，但是教授还是脸皮薄，什么情绪都藏不住，更别说憎恨大蒜这么强烈的思想感情了，于是他很担心Ｍary会不高兴，觉得她肯定看出来他没有enjoy the meal. 回家路上跟同去赴宴的Mike说起来, 结果人家根本就没察觉，还说Ｍａｒｙ也特开心，觉得大家都喜欢她的菜。第二天，这哥们给ｍａｒｙ打电话感谢款待，人家果然啥事儿没有，特好特开心。所以，教授根本就是杞人忧天。问的是教授怎么用他的事迹解释illusion of transparency。５．ｍｍ给教授打工，做research assistant，结果整天帮她接电话写邮件打杂，跟research屁关系没有，她本来是想做这个工有助于以后从事biology研究的，能跟着去去学术会议，帮忙做做实验，没想到变成这样，简直就是一个office assistant。ｇｇ于是建议她quit，student center list有很多别的工作机会，动作快就能找到一个跟研究相关的，ｍｍ说考虑一下，但是有点担心直接走人会冒犯到师太，于是ｇｇ又建议她跟师太直接谈一谈，把自己对工作的期待都说清楚，没准师太会良心发现，从此顺风顺水。ｍｍ说这主意倒是不错，就怕师太当面敷衍她一下，过后又变回ｏｌｄ ｐａｔｔｅｒｎｓ．６．第六题以前机经里出现过很多次。动物的protective resemblance，举了两个例子，一种frog，保护色终生不变，因为永远在森林里住，肤色跟地表落叶的棕色一样，上面还有一些线条（lines），跟树叶上的veins相似。另外一种Illinois lizard，变色蜥蜴，到处乱变，棕色绿色随便来，因为细胞里有moving pigment．这俩动物protective resemblance方式的差别是由于他们一种有永久栖息地，一种travel through different environments．
2007.11.3Question 1: What do you think is ONE of the most important characteristics that a teacher should have?Question 2: Do you always make friends who have different interests from you? Why?Question 3: The school has recently carried out a new policy that the maximum books that a student can loan for one time is reduced from 30 to 10, and will increase the number of copy machines in the library. The man holds a totally positive attitude towards this news. Firstly, when he was assigned a homework to write an essay in the past, he found out that all the books related to the topic assigned were all on loan, merely because every student can borrow 30 books at a time. He thinks it's totally unnecessary. More importantly, sometimes students only need few pages or chapters in the books, so they can just copy those information they want by using the xerox machine.Question 4: The passage is talking about Abalene Paradox, which is a behavior that none of the individuals intended to do because they only wanna please others. The professor mostly talks about a psycological behavior called Abalene Paradox. She (or He??) explains this theory by presenting a example of a family. All three members in the family are having a great time staying together and are really comfortable. The dad then comes up with an idea to go downtown and have dinner in the restaurant nereby. Though the mom thinks it's gonna be a boring long way, she still agreed because she thought that's what he wants. The daughter doesn't wanna go there either, but she doesn't wanna let her parents down, so she says yes anyway. After the trip, all of the three think that it was exhausted and the dinner is terrible. Then the daughter and the mom said their original thoughts. Finally, the dad said that he wanted to go there only because he thought it's boring to just sit at home.Question 5: In the conversation, the woman says that she broke her leg in the soccer team, so she will not be able to drive at all for a couple of months, but she has to go in town to do the teaching stuff. The first way she thinks is just to take a cab every week, but that's gonna cost a lot of money. The second solution is that one of her friends would give her a ride, but in that way, her friend would have to wait for almost an hour as she is teaching the class. Present which solution do you prefer.Question 6: The professor is mainly talking about how marine animals produce lights. The first example she gives is about deep-sea shrimps. They are those who only produce for a short period. When they are under attack, deep-sea shrimps will flash once to frighten the attacker, and then flash for the second time so that the attacker would have a temporily blind. The second example is that hatchetfish, which is always producing light because it makes them seem like sunshine. Why hatchetfish would do that is mainly because their predators always look for the dark shades when they hunt, so making hatchetfish more like sunlight which serves for camouflage.
10.271 说说外国友人来你家吃饭你做和准备？我说一个要考虑文化和口味不同，比如我们爱吃咸他们喜欢甜，我就多加糖甜他。。。还说要考虑宗教，比如有些不吃肉，后来时间就没了。。2 说说你是喜欢上网还是看书获得知识上网了，信息多，更新快，省时间3学校要在图书馆地下建咖啡厅，女生反对，(1) 他只提供零食对身体不好，不如去食堂 (2) 不能集中精力学习，比如你朋友在那聊天了，你就忍不住搭讪浪费时间 (3)还一点，忘了4 paradox choice, 文中说人们很高兴又权力选择，但选项不是越多越好。教授提到了去买东西作例子，说本来很简单的事情，有5种型号，每种还有不同颜色，本来5分钟花了1小时才买好。理由1费时间2让人头痛3让人觉得自己没选对心理不舒服。5什么P开头的比赛解决方案：1增加entity没听懂2 延长deadline5. mm一个诗歌比赛，马上就要颁奖了可是还只有一个submission(肯定是个垃圾比赛），她考虑要不要颁奖，要么就extent the deadline提鼓励学生去提交。6说森林火灾的好处，一是可以让一种松树的种子生长，二是他虽然烧掉很多树，但可以重新长出一些灌木，吸引新的野生动物来此生活，我猜就是说增加了生物多样性。/Professor说近来人们发现forest fire 对ecosystem 有利，可以control好像是species。举例：forest fire help pine tree spread seeds，使seed最后落在ground上，new generation will grow;还有一个例子:increase the density 同时 对animal species 也有好处
10.201，Characteristics of friends2，What will you do to relaxyourself? indoor or outdoor activities3、the colleage is going to abandon its child tutoring program, for the reason that less students and childs are participate in the program.the woman disagree with that idea.地点搬到town交通不方便，自己business专业有志于做教师。
4、coevolution,讲了ant 和anacia plant的coevolution
5、女生报不上某教授的课，男生建议她第一节课去，看有没有人退或者换教授。
6、两种记忆 declarative memory和procedural memory，第一种knowing sth，譬如知道美国首都华盛顿,，第2种是hopw to do sth，比如自行车 知道部件,还知道部件的用途.最后说distingction of these two很重要，聘请一个曾经的队员做教练很好。
1题：描述一个重要的决定，并说明为什么它对你很重要.2.高中要不要开艺术和音乐课Should school ask students learn music and art.
3. Reading：学校打算禁止自行车在学校里骑行1。太挤2。有车祸3。提供了free campus bus。Listening：女生不同意：车祸大多数在晚上发生，是因为晚上可视度低。白天还是很强的。 另外：free bus does not help too much. 因为1小时一班，学生得排队，浪费时间等车。
4. 学习过程中，以前学习的东西对后来学习的东西的作用，分两种：Negative transfer, Positive transfer. 教授分别举例：Positive transfer. 举了教授自己的例子。小时候学习钢琴，不看琴键，只看乐谱。后来到高中学习打字，只看屏幕，不看键盘。很Helpful。Negative transfer 举了教授朋友的例子。以前是舞台剧演员，习惯了大声念台词，后来做movie actor，不需要大声了，但还总是大声。此为negative transfer.
5. 讨论旅行要改地点问题:女的要great trip去xxx.有个waterfall 还有个 natural museum.去哪个...6. 电影中摄像头角度:电影技巧中采用不同视角的镜头对人物形象塑造的影响。从低处往高处拍，显得actor很powerful,larger. Queen of England(?? 不清楚了) 就采用了这种手段。使得她显得很高贵。从高处往低处拍，显得actor很small, 无助。A man lost in desert就用了这种手段。和广大的desert比，这个人就显得很无助，很hopeless。
