;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UHi. I’m calling about the new subsidized low-cost housing for graduate students.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UAre you aware that it’s only available to married graduate students and their families?
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UYes. I think my wife and I may qualify, since she’s still in graduate school. But I was
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uwondering whether there were any other requirements.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UWell, unless you have more than one child, you have to have a combined annual

;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UI’m working as a part-time research assistant, so that’s no problem. But right now

;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UHey, Jane. What’s so interesting?
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UWhat? Oh, hi, Tom. I’m reading this fascinating article on the societies of the Ice
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UAge during the Pleistocene period.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UThe Ice Age? There weren’t any societies then, just the bunch of cave people.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UThat’s what people used to think. But a new exhibition at the American Museum of
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UNational History shows that ice age people were surprisingly advanced.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UOh, really? In what ways?
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UWell, ice age people were the inventors of languages, art and music as we know it.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UAnd they didn’t live in caves. They built their own shelters.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UWhat did they use to build them? The cold weather would have killed almost of the
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Utrees, so they couldn’t have use wood.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UIn some the warmer climates, they did build houses of wood. In other places, they
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uused animal bones and skins or lived in natural stone shelters.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UHow did they stay warm? Animal skin walls don’t sound very sturdy.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UWell, it says here, that in the early Ice Age, they often faced their homes towards the
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Usouth to take advantage of the sun, a primitive sort of solar heating.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UHey, that’s pretty smart!
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UThen people in the late Ice Age even insulated their homes by putting heated
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Ucobblestones on the floor.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UI guess I spoke too soon. Can I read that magazine article after you’re done? I

;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UQuestions 39-43 Listen as a guide describes the ancient art of thatching a roof.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UWelcome to the Forewinds Historical Farm where traditions of the past are preserved
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Ufor visitors like you. Today our master thatchers will begin giving this barn behind me a
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Usturdy thatched roof able to withstand heavy winds and last up to a hundred years. How
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Udid they do it? Well, in a nutshell , fetching involves covering the beams or rafters, the
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uwooden skeleton of a roof, with reeds or straw. Our thatchers here have harvested their
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uown natural materials for the job the bundles of water reeds you see lying over there
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Ubeside the barn. Thatching is certainly uncommon in the United States today. I guess
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uthat’s why so many of you have come to see this demonstration.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UBut it wasn’t always that way. In the 17th century the colonists here thatched their
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uroofs with reeds and straw, just as they had done in England. After a while though, they
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Ubegan to replace the thatch with wooden shingles, because woods were so plentiful.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UAnd eventually, other roofing materials like stones, slates and clay tiles came into use.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UIt’s a real shame that most people today don’t realize how strong and long lasting a
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uthatched roof is. In Ireland, where thatching is still practiced, the roofs can survive winds
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uof up to 110 miles per hour. That’s because straw and reeds are so flexible. They bend
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Ubut don’t break in the wind like other materials can. Another advantage’s that the roofs
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Ukeep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And then of course, there’s
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uthe roof’s longevity. The average is sixty years, but they can last up to a hundred.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UWith all these reasons to start thatching roofs again wouldn’t it be wonderful to see this
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Udisappearing craft to return to popularity.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U39. What is about to be demonstrated?

;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UQuestions 44-46 Listen to a radio news story.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UA lot of people in the United States are coffee drinkers. Over the last few years, a
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Utrend has been developing to introduce premium specially blended coffees known as
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Ugourmet coffees into the American market. Boston seems to have been the birthplace
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uof this trend. In fact, major gourmet coffee merchants from other cities like Seattle and
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0USan Francisco came to Boston, where today they engaged in a kind of coffee war with
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UBoston’s merchants. They are all competing for a significant share of the gourmet coffee
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Umarket. Surprisingly, the competition among these leading gourmet coffee businesses
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uwill not hurt any of them. Experts predict that the gourmet coffee market in the United
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UStates is growing and will continue to grow to the point that gourmet coffee will soon
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Ucapture a half of what is now a 1.5 million-dollar market and will be an 8 million-dollar
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Umarket by 1999. Studies have shown that coffee drinkers who convert to gourmet coffee
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Useldom go back to the regular brands found in supermarkets. As a result, these brands
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uwill be the real losers in the gourmet coffee competition.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U44. What is the main topic of the news story?
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U45. What probably leads people to choose gourmet coffees over regular brands?

;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UQuestions 47-50 Listen to part of a talk in an art history class.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UYou may remember that a few weeks ago we discussed the question of what
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uphotography is. Is it art, or is it a method of reproducing images? Do photographs
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Ubelong in museums or just in our homes? Today I want to talk about a person who tried
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uto make his professional life an answer to such questions. Alfred Stieglitz went from the
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UUnited States to Germany to study engineering. While he was there, he became
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uinterested in photography and began to experiment with his camera. He took pictures
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uunder conditions that most photographers considered too difficult. He took them at night,
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uin the rain and of people and objects reflected in windows. When he returned to the
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UUnited States, he continued these revolutionary efforts.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UStieglitz was the first person to photograph skyscrapers, clouds and views from an
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uairplane. What Stieglitz was trying to do in his photographs was what he tried to do
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uthroughout his life: make photography an art. He thought that photography could be just
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uas beautiful a form of self-expression as painting or drawing. For Stieglitz, his camera
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uwas his brush. While many photographers of the late 1800s and early 1900s thought of
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Utheir work as a reproduction of identical images, Stieglitz saw his as a creative art form.
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0UHe understood the power of the camera to capture the moment. In fact, he never
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uretouched his prints or made copies of them. If he were in this classroom today, I’m
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Usure he’d say, “Well, painters don’t normally make extra copies of their paintings, do
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0Uthey?”
;¥qu«:ßforum.liuxuehome.comqö!ä0U47. What is the professor mainly discussing?
