Listen to a conversation
between a student and a university employee.
Hi, I need to pick up the gym
OK. I’ll need your name, year, and university
Here’s my ID card. And my name is Gina Kent, and I’m first
OK. Gina. I’ll type up the pass for you right
Great! This is exciting. I can’t wait to get
Oh, this is a wonderful gym.
That’s what everybody has been saying. Everyone is talking
about the new
pool, the new indoor course. But what I love is all the
The classes…?
Yes, like the swimming and tennis classes and
everything.
Oh yeah, but this pass doesn’t entitle you to
It doesn’t?
No, the classes fall into separate category.
But, that’s my whole reason for getting a pass. I mean, I
was planning to take a
swimming class.
But that’s not how it works. This pass gives you access to
the gym and to all
the equipments, into the pool and so forth. But not with
team practicing, so you
have to check the schedule.
But what do I have to do if I want to take a
You have to: one, and two, pay the fee for the
But that’s not fair.
Well, I think if you can think about it. You’ll see that
it’s fair.
But people who play sports in the gym… they don’t have to
pay anything.
Yes, but they just come in, and play or swim on their own.
But, taking a
class---that is a different story, I mean, someone has to
pay the instructor.
So, if I want to enroll in a class.
Then you have to pay extra. The fee isn't very high, but
there’s a fee. So, what
class did you say you want to take?
Swimming…
OK. Swimming classes are thirty dollars a
I guess I could swing that. But I’m still not convinced
it’s fair. So, do I pay you?
Well, first, you need to talk to the instructor. They have
to assess your level
and steer you into the right class, you know, beginner,
intermediate…
You mean, I have to swim for them? Show them what I can
No, no, you just tell them a little bit about your
experiences and skills, so they
know what level you should be in.
Oh, OK. So, I guess I’ll need an appointment.
And I can make that for you right now. And I’ll tell up
you about your gym ID
card. You’ll need it to get into the building. Now about
that appointment… how
does Wednesday at three sounds?
OK. Then you’ll be meeting with Mark Guess. He’s a
swimming instructor. He
also coaches the swim team. And here, I’ve jotted it all
down for you.
Great! Thanks.
TPO11 Lecture 1
Listen to part of a
lecture in a Biology Class. The class has been learning
about birds.&
Ok, today we are going to continue our discussion of the
parenting behaviors
of birds. And we are going to start by talking about what
are known as
distraction displays. Now if you were a bird and there was
a predator around.
What are you going to do? Well, for one thing you are
going to try to attract as
little attention as possible, right? Because if the
predator doesn’t know you are
there, it is not going to try to eat you. But sometimes
certain species of birds do
the exact opposite when the predator approaches they do
their best to try to
attract the attention of that predator. Now why would they
do that? Well, they
do that to draw the predator away from their nests, away
from their eggs or
their young birds. And the behaviors that the birds
engaging in to distract
predators are called distraction displays. And there are a
number of different
kinds of distraction displays. Most of the time, when
birds are engaging in
distraction displace they are going to be pretending
either that they have injury
or that they’re ill or that they’re exhausted. You know
something that’ll make
the predator thinks Hum… here is an easy meal. One pretty
distraction display was called the broken wing display.
And in a broken wing
display the bird spreads and drags the wings or its tail,
and while it does that, it
slowly moves away from the nests so it really looks like a
bird with a broken
wing. And these broken wing displays can be pretty
convincing.
Another version of this kind of distraction display is
where the birds create
same impression of a mouse or some other small animals
that running along
the ground. A good example of that kind of display is
created by a bird called
the purple sandpiper. Now what’s the purple sandpiper does
predator approaches, it drags its wings but not to give it
the impression that its
wings are broken but to create the illusion that it has a
second pair of legs. And
then it raises its feathers, so it looks like it got a
coat of fur. And then it runs
along the ground swirling left and right you know like
running around a little
rocks and sticks. And as it goes along it makes a little
squeezing noises. So
from a distance it really looks and sounds like a little
animal running along the
ground trying to get away. Again to the predator, it looks
like an easy meal.
Now what’s interesting is the birds have different levels
of performance of
these distraction displays. They don’t give their top
performance, their prime
time performance every time. What they do is they save
their best
performances they’re most conspicuous and most risky
displays for the time
just before the baby birds become able to take care of
themselves. And the
time that way because that when that make the greatest
investment in
parenting their young. So they are not going to put their
best performance just
after they laid their eggs because they have to invest
that much more time and&
energy in parenting yet. The top performance is going to
come later. Now you
have some birds that are quiet mature, are quite capable
almost as soon as
they hatch. In that case, the parent will put on the most
conspicuous
distractions displays just before the babies’ hatch
because once the babies are
hatch they can pretty much take care themselves, and then
you have others
birds that helpless when have hatch. In that case, the
parents will save the
best performance until just before the babies get their
TPO11 Lecture 2
Architecture
Listen to part of a
lecture in an Architecture Class.
Today, we are taking a little detour from the grand styles
of public architecture
we’ve been studying to look at residential architectures
in the United States.
Since this is something we can all identify with, I think
it will help us see the
relationship between the function of a structure and its
style or form. This has
been an ongoing theme in our discussion, and we will be
getting back to it just
a moment. But before we get started, I want you to take a
moment to think:
does anyone know what the single most popular style for a
house in the United
States is today? Bob?
“I bet it is the ranch-style house.”
“Well, in this area, probably. But aren’t we typical? Yes,
“How about the kind of house my grandparents live in? They
call it a Cape
That’s the one. Here is a drawing of what we consider of a
classic Cape Cod&
house. These days, you see this style all over the United
States. But it first
showed up in U.S. northeast, in the New England region,
around the late
1600s. For those of you who don't know the northeast
costal region, Cape Cod
is a peninsula, a narrow strip of land that jets out into
the Atlantic, and so many
houses in this particular style were built on Cape Cod,
that the name of the
place became the name of the style. Now why did the Cape
Cod style house
become so popular in the northeast? Well, one reason is
that it's a great
example of form following function. We’ve talked about
this design principle a
lot about form following function. And what did we say
it’s meant? Someone
give me an application of this principle. What did this
concept that form should
follow function? How would it be applied to housing
Well, if it means the design of the building, it should be
based on the needs of
people who use it. Then, well, the architect has to be
very practical to think
about the people who actually be living in the house or
working in the office
building, whatever, so for the architect, it’s all about
users not about showing
off how creative you can be.
Good, of course, for a Cape Cod house, it might be even
more accurate to say
that form also follows climate. Who knows what the climate
like on Cape Cod?
Cold in the winter…
And whenever I visit my grandparents, it’s really wet.
It’s usually either raining
or snowing or foggy and windy, too. I guess because it’s
so exposed to the
That’s right. So take another look at this drawing, and
you can image how this
design might be particularly helpful in that kind of
climate. Notice how the
house is fairly low to the ground. This relatively low
compact structure helps
the house withstand the strong winds blowing off the
ocean. And look at the
slope of the roof, the steep angle helps keep off all that
rain and snow that
accumulates in the winter. Another thing, Cape Cod houses
usually face south
to take advantage of the sun’s warm through the windows.
That’s helpful in
winter. Now what can you tell me about the chimney, about
its location.&
Well, it’s in the middle. Because, does that have
something to do with heating
the houses? I mean since the heat never has to travel very
That means you can heat the house more efficiently,
Exactly, now see how the house has very little exterior
decoration, that’s also
typical of early Cape Cod houses. The wind was one reason,
nothing sticking
out might blow away in the harsh weather, but there was
probably another
reason, not related to the climate, more reflection of a
rural New England
society back then, you see Cape Cod houses were not built
in the big cities,
where all the rich people lived back then. These were the
modest dwellings the
people who built them simply couldn’t afford lots of
expensive decorated
details. But that was more than just matter of money. In
these rural areas,
people depended on each other for survival. Neighbors had
to help and
supported each other in the difficult environment, so you
didn't want to appear
to be showing off. You wanted to avoid anything that might
set you apart from
your neighbors, the same people you might need to help you
someday. So all
these help to create an attitude of conformity in the
community, and you can
see why a modest, a very plain style would become so
widely imitated through
out rural New England.
It is plain, but you know its nice looking.
Good point, and in fact it’s precisely that as aesthetic
appeal, the…the purity,
the nearly perfect proportion of the houses…that’s another
reason for the cape
cod enduring popularity even in the places where the
climate was so mild, it’s
functional design doesn't
Conversation2
Listen to a conversation
between a student and a Professor.
Hi professor, I guess you want to see me.
Hi Bill thanks for coming. I want to talk to you about
Is there something wrong with my research
No, not at all, in fact it's very good. That’s why I want
to talk to you.
Oh, thanks
I think you know that the department is looking to hire a
new professor, are you
familiar with our hiring process.
No, but what is that got to do with me.
Well, Bill, we have several qualified applicants for
serious about and this part
of this interview process we have to meet with the
committee of the professors
and students in our department. They also have to give a
You mean like a lecture?
Yes, like a sample lecture on one of their academic
Oh, see you can see their teaching style
Hah…Make sense
So I’d like to know if you be willing to join us as the
student’s representatives
on the interview committee. It’ll be a good experience for
you. You could put it
on your resume.
Oh… better looks good for my graduate application, I
guess, so, what do I
have to do
The department's secretary will give you a schedule of the
applicant’s thesis if
you are free, we’d like you to attend our talks and then
later you can give us
your opinion. Oh and we usually serve lunch and snacks
depending on what
time the talk is.
Cool, that’s another good reason to do this. Um… when is
the next talk?
We actually haven't any yet, the first one is next Friday.
It’s 10 AM, then lunch,
then the formal discussion with the applicant right
Oh well, I’m free on Fridays if all the talks are on
Fridays, I will be able to make
all of them.&
That’s great, now you should know this job candidate is
interested in the life
cycle in the forest.
That’s what my research about.
Yes, I know that’s why I feel necessary to point out that
even though these
applicants’ research interests w we
want you to tell us what
you think about the teaching of all these applicants. Your
perspective is as a
student, how the applicant teaches in the classroom that
was important to us.
I understand so how many applicants are there?
Let’s see, we have 4, all very good candidates, that we
will be looking at over
the next few weeks. It's going to be a tough decision. But
it'll be a good
experience for you, especially if you’re going to graduate
Thank you. It’ll be cool to do this. I’ll get the copy of
the schedule from the
secretary on my way out.
You’re welcome, seeing you in class this
TPO11 Lecture 3
Environmental science
Listen to part of a
lecture in an environmental science
When land gets develop for human use, the landscape
changes. We don’t see
as many types of vegetation, trees, grasses and so forth.
This in turn leads to
other losses: the loss of animal that once lived there.
Err…but these are the
obvious changes, but there are also less obvious changes
like the climate.
One interesting case of this…of…of changes in the local
land use causing
changes in climate, specifically the temperature is in
Florida. Now what comes
to mind when you think of the state of Florida?
Sunshine, beaches.
Warm weather, oranges…
Yes, exactly. Florida has long had a great citric
large growth of
oranges, lemons and the like. Florida’s winter is very
the temperature
doesn’t often get below freezing. But there are some areas
in Florida that do
freeze. So in the early 1900s, farmers moved even further
south in Florida, to
areas that were even less likely to freeze. Obviously,
freezing temperatures
are danger to the crops. A bad barrier of cold weather, a
long spell of frosts
could ruin a farm and the entire crop, anyway, before
these citric growers
moved south, much of the land in south Florida, was what
we called wetlands.
Wetlands are areas of marshy, swampy land, areas where
water covers the
soil, or is present either at or near the surface of the
soil for large part of the
year. Wetlands have their own unique ecosystem, with
plants and animals with
special an interesting adaptation. Very exciting, but it’s
not what we are talking
about today. Emm…where was I?
Farmers moved south?
Oh, yes. Farmers moved south. But the land was not
suitable for farming. You
can’t grow orange in wetland, so farmers had to transform
the wetlands into
lands suitable for farming. To do that, you have to drain
the water from the land,
move the water elsewhere, and divert to the water sources
such as rivers.&
Hundreds of miles of drainage canals were built in the
wetlands. Now these
areas, the new areas the farmers moved to, used to be warm
and unlikely to
freeze, however, recently the area has become susceptible
to freezes. And we
are trying to understand why.
Is it some global temperature change or weather pattern
like El Ni?o or
something?
Well, there are two theories. One idea is as you suggested
that major weather
patterns, something like El Ni?o, are responsible. But the
other idea and this is
the one that I personally subscribe to, is of the changes
in the temperature
pattern had been brought about by the loss of
Well, how would the loss of wetlands make a
difference?
Well, think about what we’ve been studying so far. We
discussed the impact of
landscapes on temperature, right? What affects does the
body of water have
on an area?
Oh, yeah. Bodies of water tend to absorb the heat during
the day, and then
they release the heat at night.
Yes, exactly. What you just said is what I want you all to
understand. Bodies of
water release heat and moisture back into the environment.
So places near
large bodies of water are generally milder, err...slightly
warmer than those
without water. And what I, another think is that the loss
of the wetlands has
created the situation where the local temperatures in the
area are not slightly
different, slightly colder than they were 100 years ago,
before the wetland were
Emm…do we know what the temperature was like back
Well, we were able to estimate this. We have data about
South Florida’s
current landscape, emm…the plant cover. And we were able
to reconstruct
data about the landscape prior to 1900. Then we enter
those data, information
about what the landscape look like before and after the
wetlands were drained.
We enter the data into a computer weather model. This
model can predict
temperatures. And when all the data were entered, an
overall cooling trend
was predicted by the model.
How much colder does it get now?
Well, actually the model shows a drop of only a few
degrees Celsius. But this is
enough to cause dramatic damage to crops. If temperatures
over night are
already very close to the freezing point, then this drop
of just a few degrees
can take the temperature below freezing. And freezing
causes frosts, which kill
crops. These damaging frosts wouldn’t happen if the
wetlands were still in
existence, just as the tiny temperature difference can
have major
consequences.
TPO11 Lecture 4
Listen to part of a
lecture in a Business Class.&
Let's get started. Um, last time we were talking about the
need for advertising.
Now, let's look at how you can successfully call attention
to the service or
product you want to sell. To succeed, you’ve got to
develop a systematic
approach. If you don't come up with a system, um, a plan,
you risk **
decisions that waste money, or even drive away potential
customers. But what
does a systematic advertising plan look like? Well, it
covers what we call -- the
‘Four Ms’. The ‘Four Ms’: Market, Media, Money, Message.
All are important
areas to focus on when creating your advertising plan. We
will look at them
one by one.
The First step is to look at your Market, that’s the
people who might become
customers, buyers of your service or product. You need to
know all about your
possible customers： Who are
they？ What age group are they? What do
like, or dislike? How do they shop? So, you got that? A
market is a group of
potential customers.
Next, Media… Obviously the major media are television,
radio, newspapers,
magazines, um, billboards, and so forth. There are all
avenues of
communication. And you need to figure out: Which media you
should advertise
through? Which media will reach your intended audience --
your market? So,
you do research, trying to determine which media will
reach the most potential
customers for the lowest cost. For instance, if you have a
product, that we'll
say teachers would like, then teachers are your market. So
you ask yourself:
What magazines do the majority of teachers read? What TV
programs do
teachers watch? Do teachers listen to much radio? At what
times of the day?
Say, now your research turns up two magazines that
teachers read. And it also
shows that the majority of teachers - say ages twenty to
thirty - read the
magazine about classroom activities. While most teachers
older than that read
the other magazine, the one about, oh, let’s
say—‘Educational Psychology’.
You think your product will appeal most to teachers aged
twenty to thirty, so
you decide to put your advertisement in their favor
magazine, the one about
classroom activities. You don't waste money advertising in
the ‘Educational
Psychology’ magazine, you know the one that the younger
teachers generally
don't read. And since you’re reaching the majority of the
teachers in your target
age group, you’re probably spending your money well, which
bring us to the
third M -- Money.
You have an advertising budget to spend, but how do you to
spend it wisely.&
Again, research is the key. Good research gives you facts,
facts that can help
you decide, well, as we already mentioned, decide the
right market to target,
and the best media to use. But also: When to advertise?
or…or how to get the
best rates? Like, may be you’re advertising Sport
equipment, and you have
been spending most of your budget during the holiday
season when people
buy gifts for each other. Now, in theory, that would seem
a great time to
advertise, but may be a research shows you’re wrong, that
the customers who
buy sports equipment tend not to give it as a holiday
gift, but want to use it
themselves. In that case, advertising during a different
season of the year
might give you better results. And, um, may be it even
lower, non-holiday rates,
so you actually save money. But you n
facts that come
from good research to be certain and know for sure that
you’re getting your
money’s worth.
OK, finally, there is your message: What you want to say
about your product?
Why buying it will make the customer’s life easier, or
safer or better somehow.
Whatever the message is, make sure you get it right. Let
me give you an
example of not getting it right, Ha...ha...ha... you are
going to love this one:
There was this Soup Shop, the soup was really tasty, but
there weren't a lot of
customers. The owner thought that may be if they give
something away for
free with each purchase, then more people would come buy
soup. So they got
some cheap socks, and they advertise to give a pair away
with each bowl of
soup. But, then even fewer people came to the restaurant.
Well, you can
imagine why. People started to associate the soup with
they began to
imagine the soup smelled like feet. The advertising
massage, soup means free
socks, it was a waste of money. And
worse, it caused the
loss of customers.
Now, I want everyone to get into small groups and come up
examples, not of good advertising messages, but of truly
disastrous ones.
Think of real examples and make them up, and talk about
the reasons those
messages are unsuccessful. And then we’ll get back
together and share.&

-------------------TPO11听力答案--------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------TPO11听力中文概要---------------------------------------------------------
学生与工作人员之间
学生来取自己的gym
pass,工作人员对她进行了相关问题的核实并询问学生是否
知道如何使用gym pass.
学生表示对这个gym
很是exciting，因为大家都对它的新设施感兴趣，但其本人
尤其关注swimming
classes.但是当工作人员告知她的gym pass
的权限仅可以免费使用gym
内的运动设施，swimming pool
等，但如果要参加特定的如swinging
classes，学生要提供extra
pay,学生称“that is not
fair”,她的初衷就是参加这些classes，并以其它来此运动而未缴纳费用的人为例提出质疑，工作人员的答复是，他们只是自己运动而不需要准人指导，但swimming
等是需配备instructor的，因此虽然收费不高，但总要有人来为instructor买单.
在学生选好欲参加的课程后，工作人员为其介绍相关程序，并建议学生与其它staff做个appointment.学生询问原因，工作人员解释称，这样可以对学生的水平进行评估从而决定其所适合的classes
学生与教授之间
学生应教授要求来讨论事宜。
教授询问学生是否对聘用new
professors一事知情，在得到肯定答案后又问其是否
熟悉相关的hiring
process，但学生却质疑老师为何提出与学生并无直接利害关系的问题。
沟通后学生得知教授有意让其参加学校对new
professos的部分面试工作，即在interview
committee里出任students
representative的角色。
教授为学生罗列出了参加此项活动的好处---增加简历内容，有利于学生申报graduate
school，可以根据情况提供lunch、snack；学生要参与的就是听取应聘人员的试讲，并反馈听后感。学生在核实时间是否适合后同意参加。
最后，教授提醒学生：不论应聘人员的话题兴趣是否与学生一致，都要求其务必从学生立场上听取并真实反馈这些应聘人员的teaching，当然这对学生来说是一个很好的experience尤其对于去graduate
school的学生，并告知其如何去办理相关手续。
关于“biology”
教授开头说明此次课程的topic：鸟类的parenting
首先，教授介绍了鸟类中的一种行为distraction
display,并辅以bird
遇到predator的
反映来做相关定义阐述，大多数情况下通过伪装成伤病或筋疲力尽从而使攻击者误认为它是比较容易成功的攻击对象，从而成功吸引predator的注意力，其中提到了几种不同的distraction
1‘Broken wing
display’是使用的比较普遍的方法，通过给对方造成自己受伤的假象
吸因攻击方的注意力，从而远离自己巢穴。&
&2 通过raise
feathers ，drag
wings或奔跑，制造noise等动作给靠近巢穴的predator造成假象，使其误认为它在追赶其它的mouse等小猎物，从而可以轻易成为腹中餐，这里，教授提到了此类行为的代表鸟类---purple
sandpiper.
& 其次，教授讲到one interesting
thing，即鸟类在实施distraction display
时是分等级的因为它们在孵卵期和幼鸟独立前，需要付出很大精力去parenting
them,而在幼鸟即将独立时才是最易受攻击的时刻，因此top
performance会留在此时实施。
但教授也提及一些鸟类会在孵卵期就开始topic
performance,因此幼鸟几乎一出生就可以照顾自己了。还有其它鸟类会在幼鸟长羽毛的时候实施。
关于“architecture”
教授首先提出了问题：典型的建筑是什么样子的。学生的答案之一是ranch-style,但教授称这种style可能算一种，但质疑其是否具有代表性。有学生介绍其grandparents住所的Cope
Cod house，得到了教授的肯定。
& 在为学生呈现了Cope Cod
house的简图后，教授开始与学生讨论其functions和style.
首先，教授介绍到这种风格的建筑遍布当今美国，并引出了它的出现时间和发源地---Cape
Code，以及此地的地理位置及气候等。之后，教授阐述称这种建筑体现了form
function原则，并要求学生给出这一原则的concept以及如何应用于housing
plan。在肯定学生form should follow
users的答案后，教授又说明Cope Cod
house是form follow
climate.并通过简图和与学生的互动推出结论：房屋低矮是为了应对强风，the
slope of roof
是为了防止雨雪的堆积，窗户南开为了朝阳，烟囱位置有利heating
efficiency。
之后，教授提及这种建筑简单的外部修饰还体现了当时的有社会背景，在农村地区的这些房主们除了无法负担过高的装修费用外，还因为在difficult
environment下要靠邻里互助才能surviving，所以不会选择与邻居建筑格格不入的装修，而这些都促成了Cope
house的conformity。
关于”environmental
教授指出，当人类出于某种使用目的而对land
进行改造时，就已经使landscape
发生了变化，不光是动植物这些obvious
changes,还有climate
change等隐性变化,并以Florida的温度变化为例阐述一种理论：当地的地形变化会引起当地的气候变化。
由于之前的Florida某些地区气温过低，会有freezes，从而农民选择南迁到wet
lands,但这里却不适合某些作物的种植，因此农民想法设法减少water
bodies,以将wet
lands转变为suitable
lands.结果导致之前warm，wet的地方现在却气温降低，同样易发生freezes.
学生认为此现象的原因可能是由于全球气温变化或如EI
Node等special weather
model.教授引出了2个theories,其一是如EL
NO等major weather pattern
引起上述现象，另外的theory也是她所拥护的，即温度变化是由wet
lands 的流失引起的。在学生质疑时，教授提醒学生bodies of
water 对地区的影响，在学生答复后教授继续阐述：bodies of
water 会释放热能同时增加湿度，因此在改变wet
lands的同时，也会使得该地区的温度colder.
但学生质疑如何知道该地区之前的温度，教授讲解了估温方法：根据现在的Florida的landscape去reconstruct
该地区在改造wet
lands之前的landscape,并将这些对比数据输入到computer
weather model，从而overall colder
trend 就被估测到了，虽然温度变化不大，但是无疑，温度的tiny
change都会有major consequence.
关于“business”
教授讲到要成功引起市场对所售产品的关注，就要有systematic
approach或plan,
如果不这样执行，会有不好的结果，即做出一个wasting
money的决定或者失去潜在客户。
接着教授讲到好的systematic advertising
plan要涵盖4M----Market, Media , Money ,
Message.并进行逐一分析。
首先，教授阐述了Market的概念，组成等，即潜在客户的group。随后以teachers
为假定market为例，在对特定年龄段的teacher的喜好、习惯等进行充分研究分析后选择适合的media做广告宣传，可以做到有的放矢，从而会培养潜在顾客，不在广告上花冤枉钱。也因此引出了对Money的介绍，教授以运动器材的宣传为例，说明Market
进行充分的research，会提供准确的facts,从而使得advertising
budget消费的物超所值，反之，如果仅在看似正确的theory上做出广告投放决定而不做好marketing
research，就会wasting
money。最后讲到message时，教授举了soup
shop的反面例子，由于它不适当的advertising
message使得顾客将soup
联系起来，不但未达到促销的效果，反而失去了顾客。针对这个话题，教授要求学生分组并集思广益，举出更多disastrous
message及其危害的例子。
