11、itherM: I dont either, but some people do. I would say people who believe that dreams have special meanings are superstitious, especially nowadays.

15、ing. M: Exactly. People do all sorts of crazy things because of their irrational feelings. But in fact, some psychologists believe that our dreams are the result of our emotions and memories from that day.

18、What did psychologist Sigmund Freud say about adults dreams? Section BSection B Passage Passage 1 1 While some scientists explore the surface of the Antarctic, others are learning more about a giant body of water - four kilometers beneath the ice pack. Scientists first discovered Lake Vostok in the

19、1970s by using radio waves that penetrate the ice. Since then, they have used sound waves and even satellites to map this massive body of water. How does the water in Lake Vostok remained liquid beneath an ice sheet? “The thick glacier above acts like insulating blanket and keeps the water from free

20、zing,” said Martin Siegert, a glaciologist from the university of Wales. In addition, geothermal heat from the deep within the earth may warm the hidden lake. The scientists suspect that microorganisms may be living in Lake Vostok, closed off from the outside world for more than two million years. A

21、nything found that will be totally alien to whats on the surface of the earth, said Siegert. Scientists are trying to find a way to drill into the ice and draw water samples without causing contamination. Again, robots might be the solution. If all goes as planned, a drill-shift robot will melt thro

22、ugh the surface ice. When it reaches the lake, it will release another robot that can swim in the lake, take pictures and look for signs of life. The scientists hope that discoveries will shed light on life in outer space, which might exist in similar dark and airless conditions. Recently closed-up

23、pictures of Jupiters moon, Europa, shows signs of water beneath the icy surface. Once tested the Antarctic, robots could be set to Europa to search for life there, too. Q9: What did the scientists first use to discover Lake Vostok in the 1970s? Q10: What did scientists think about Lake Vostok? Q11:

24、What do the scientists hope their discoveries will do? Section BSection B Passage 2Passage 2 The idea to study the American Indian tribe Tarahumaras, came to James Copeland in 1984 when 【Q12Q12】 he discovered that very little research had been done on their language.he discovered that very little re

25、search had been done on their language. He contacted the tribe member through a social worker who worked with the tribes in Mexico. At first, the tribe member named Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate. He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language. But after Copeland explained

26、 to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras, Gonzalez agreed to help. 【Q13Q13】 He took Copeland to his He took Copeland to his village and served as an intermediary. village and served as an intermediary.

28、project for Copeland. To reach their homeland, he must strive two and half days from Huston Taxes. He loads up his vehicle with goods that the tribe s men can t easily get and gives the goods to them as a gesture of friendship. The Tarahumaras, who dont believe any humiliating wealth, take the food

29、and share among themselves. For Copeland, the experience has not only been academically satisfying but also has enriched his life in several ways. 【Q15Q15】 “I see people rejecting technology and living a very hard, traditional life, which offers me another I see people rejecting technology and livin

32、e American Indian tribe - Tarahumaras? Q13: How did Gonzalez help James Copeland? Q14: What does the speaker say about James Copelands trip to the Tarahumaras village? Q15: What impresses James Copeland about the Tarahumaras tribe? Section CSection C Recording 1Recording 1 What is a radical? It seem

33、s today that people are terrified of the term, particularly of having the label attach to them. 【Q16】Accusing individuals or groups of being radical often serves to silence them into submission, thereby, maintaining the existing state of affairs, and, more important, preserving the power of a select

34、 minority, who are mostly wealthy white males in western society. Feminism is a perfect example of this phenomenon. The womens movement has been plagued by stereotypes, misrepresentations by the media, and accusations of man-hating and radicalism. When the basic foundation of feminism is simply that

35、 women deserve equal rights in all facets of life. When faced with the threat of being labelled radical, women back down from their worthy calls and consequently, participate in their own oppression. It has gotten to the point that many women are afraid to call themselves feminists because of a stig

36、ma attached to the word. If people refused to be controlled, and intimidated by stigmas, the stigmas lose all their power, without fear on which they feed, such stigmas can only die. To me, 【Q17】a radical is simply someone who rebels against the norm when advocates a change in the existing state of

37、affairs. On close inspection, it becomes clear that the norm is constantly involving, and therefore, is not a constant entity. So why then, is deviation from the present situation such a threat, when the state of affairs itself is unstable and subject to relentless transformation? It all goes back t

38、o maintaining the power of those who have it and preventing the right of those who dont. In fact, when we look at the word radical in a historical context, nearly every figure we now hold up as a hero was considered a radical in his or her time. Radicals are people who affect change. They are the pe

39、ople about whom history is written. Abolitionists were radicals, civil rights activists were radicals, 【Q18】 even the founders of our country in their fight to win independence from England were radicals. Their presence in history has changed the way our society functions, mainly by shifting the bal

40、ance of power that previously existed. Of course, there are some radicals whove made a negative impact on humanity, 【Q18】 but undeniably, there would simply be no progress without radicals. That been said, next time someone calls me a radical, I would accept that label with pride. Q16: What usually

41、happens when people are accused of being radical? Q17: What is the speakers definition of a radical? Q18: What does the speaker think of most radicals in the American history? Recording 2Recording 2 We are very susceptible to the influence of the people around us. For instance, you may have known so

42、mebody who has gone overseas for a year or so and has returned with an accent perhaps. We become part of our immediate environment. None of us are immune to the influences of our own world and let us not kid ourselves that we are untouched by the things and people in our life. Fred goes off to his n

43、ew job at a factory. Fred takes his ten-minute coffee break, but the other workers take half an hour. Fred says, “Whats the matter with you guys?” Two weeks later, Fred is taking twenty-minute breaks. A month later, Fred takes his half hour. Fred is saying “If you cant be them, join them. Why should

44、 I work any harder than the next guy?” The fascinating thing about being human is that generally we are unaware that there are changes taking place in our mentality. It is like returning to the city smog after some weeks in the fresh air. Only then do we realize that weve become accustomed to the na

45、sty smells. Mix with critical people and we learn to criticize. Mix with happy people, and we learn about happiness. What this means is that we need to decide what we want from life and then choose our company accordingly. You may well say, That is going to take some effort. It may not be comfortabl

46、e. I may offend some of my present company. Right, but it is your life. Fred may say, I m always broke, frequently depressed. Im going nowhere and I never do anything exciting. Then we discover that Freds best friends are always broke, frequently depressed, going nowhere and wishing that life was mo

47、re exciting. This is not coincidence, nor is it our business to stand in judgement of Fred? However, if Fred ever wants to improve his quality of life, the first thing hell need to do is recognize what has been going on all these years. Its no surprise that doctors as a profession suffer a lot of il

48、l health, because they spend their life around sick people. Psychiatrists have a higher incidence of suicide in their profession for related reasons. Traditionally, nine out of ten children whose parents smoke, smoke themselves. Obesity is in part an environmental problem. Successful people have suc

49、cessful friends, and so the story goes on. Q19 What does the speaker say about us as human beings? Q20 What does the speaker say Fred should do first to improve his quality of life? Q21 What does the speaker say about the psychiatrists? Section CSection C Lecture 3Lecture 3 Virtually every American can recognize a dollar bill at
