解析：（原文中）
I have a couple of questions about the career fair next week. Um ...well, are seniors the only ones who can go? I mean, you know, they are finishing school this year and getting their degrees and everything.
学生想知道是不是只有senior student才可以参加career fairy而他自己不是，因此他的意图就是想要了解他能否被允许参加。从他自己说出的信息中可以看出他很清楚时间和地点。因此A错误。

interested in talking to him
● he will not be graduating this year
● he is not currently talking business classes

解析：（原文中）
I mean, you know, they are finishing school this year and getting their degrees and everything. And, well, it seems like businesses would wanna talk to them and not first year students like me.
他觉得是自己目前所在年级不是即将毕业因此招聘方不会对他有兴趣。他确实还没有decleared major 但是老师建议他参加这个活动会对他有所帮助而不是因此不能参加。所以C错误。
3. what does the woman imply about the small print on the career fair posters
and flyers
● the information in the small print was incomplete
● the print was similar than she expected it to be
● the information the small print contains will be updated
● the information in the small print will be presented in a more noticeable
way
解析：（原文中）
Sure, can’t miss them. I mean, they all say where and when the fair is, just not who should attend.
Employee : Actually they do, but it’s in the small print. Uh, we should probably make that part easier to rea ch, shouldn’t we?I’ll make a note of that right now.
公民人员表示他们应该让海报更为容易被学生注意到一些并随即做了note由此推断small print上的information会更容易被看到。而并不是会被更新所以C 错误。

speaking to companies’ representatives(2)
● take some business classes
● familiarize himself with certain businesses beforehand
● have questions ready to ask the representatives

You can learn a lot about companies
from their internet websites. Then
prepare a list of questions.也就是选项中的have questions ready to ask the representatives
5. Why does the student say this:
● To acknowledge that he cannot go to this year’career fairs
● To acknowledge the amount of preparation he will have
● To indicate that he has school work he must complete before the
career fair

解析：（原文中）
Employee : See? Those’re all important things to know. After you do some research, you’ll be able to tailor your questions to the particular company you are talking to.
Student : Wow, I’m glad I came by here.So, it looks like I’ve got some work to do.
学生这么说就是为了表示他已经明白自己的工作量以及有哪些准备工作要做了。他并不是要工作而是只想了解信息所以D错误。
6. what is the main purpose of the talk

cycle

occurrence
解析：（原文中）
The boom in t he late 1990s when a ll those new Internet companies sprung up and then sold for huge amounts of money.Then the bust around 2000…2001 when many of those sam Internet companies went out of business. Of course, booms aren’t always followed by busts.
教授以时期来划分开始讲解并强调每个时期的不同点说明她就是为了陈述每个时期的boom-and-bust的特点也就是C选项。虽然有提到它需要发生的条件但是只是用几句话概述不是重点因此B错误。
7. what is the professor’s opinion about the dot-com crash
● she thinks that people should have realized it would happen
● she does not believe that anything like it will happen again
● she is surprised that it did not have more serious consequences
● she is confident that people learned a valuable lesson from it
解析：（原文中）See, people often create and intensify a boom when they get carried away by some new industry that seems like it will make them lots of money fast. If you think that by the 90s, people would have learned from the past.
从教授说人们应该从过去吸取教训得知教授认为人们应该从所总结的规律中推测出或意识到dot-com crash是很有可能发生的。因此选A。这里并不是说人们从dot-com crash 学到东西所以D错误。
8. according to the professor, where did tulips originate
● the mountains of central Asia
● the region around Istanbul in Turkey
● the sandy soils of the Netherlands
● the forests of northern Europe
解析：（原文中）
Student : Well, the Netherlands, right?
Professor : That’s what most people think, but no. They are not native to the Netherlands, or even Europe. Tulips actually hail from an area that Chinese call the Celestial Mountains in Central Asia.
教授直接否定了Netherlands这个答案，自己提出了Tulips actually hail from Central Asia.
因此选A。

● to explain what happened to tulip bulbs that did not produce desirable
colors

解析：（原文中）
For the Europeans, tulips were totally unheard of. Er…a great novelty. The first bulb to show up in the Netherlands, the merchant who received them roasted and ate them. He thought they were kind of onion.
对于欧洲人来说郁金香是很新鲜的事物，甚至有人认为它是一种洋葱。那么举这个洋葱的例子就是为了体现欧洲人对郁金香的一无所知。选D 并不是用来炫富因此C错误。

a prospering economy
Sure the first specimens were just played right in tulips, but they could be bred into some extraordinary variations, like that dark purple tulip.
11. the professor mentions the practice of trading promissory note in the
Netherlands in the 1630s,what does this practice explain(2)
● why tulips replaced gold as a form of currency

The owner only cared about having that piece of paper so it could be traded later at a profit. And people were borrowing, mortgaging their homes in many cases to obtain those bits of paper 推出C because they were sure they’d find an easy way to make mon ey
12. what topic related to the Nightcap Oak does the professor mainly
discuss(2)
● factors that relate to the size of the area in which it grows
● the size of its population over the last few centuries
● whether anything can be done to ensure its survival
● why it did not change much over the last one hundred million years
解析：（原文中）
They grow in a rain forest, in a mountain rage…range in the north part of New South Wales which is a…er… state in Australia. So just 200 individual trees in all.也就是B选项
Okay, w hat have we tried to find out about the tree since we’ve discovered it? Hum…or how…why is…is it so rare? That’s one of the first questions. Um… how is it…um…how does it reproduce? This’s another question. Um, maybe those two questions are actually related. Jim? Student : Hum …I don’t know. But I can imagine that…for instance, seed disposal might be a factor. 也就是A选项
13. according to the professor, what led scientists to characterize the Nightcap
Oak as primitive
● it has no evolutionary connection to other trees growing in Australia today ● it has an inefficient reproductive system
● its flower are located at the bases of the leaves
● it is similar to some ancient fossils
解析：（原文中）Now another interesting thing about the Nightcap Oak is that it is…it represents…er…a very old type…er…kind of tree that grew a hundred million years ago. Um, we found fossils that ol d that bear remarkable resemblance to the tree. So, it’s a primitive tree.
教授指出因为研究者到了类似的化石因此推断是So, it’s a primitive tree.
也就是D选项。
解析：（原文中）
Okay, what have we tried to find out about the tree since we’ve discovered it? Hum…or how…why is…is it so rare? That’s one of the first questions. Um… how is it…um…how does it reproduce? This’s another question. Um, maybe those two questions are actually related. Jim?
教授先提出一连串问题之后提示到也许这两个问题间存在某种联系，那么也就是要引导童鞋们去思考这两者间的关系也就是A。
14. what point does the professor make abo ut the Nightcap Oak’s habitat
● it is stable despite its limited size
● unlike the habitats of many plants, it is expanding
● its recent changes have left the Nightcap Oak struggling to adapt
● its size is much larger than the area where the Nightcap Oak grows
解析：（原文中）
strcmp was not declared in
Um, of course, you might think there might not be any areas where the tree could spread into, er…because…um…well, it’s very specialized in terms of the habitat. But, that’s not really the case here. Um…the suitable habitat, that is,the actual rainforest is much larger than the few hectares where the Nightcap Oak grows.
在But, that’s not really the case here.之后开始转折然后说the actual rainforest is much larger than the few hectares where the Nightcap Oak grows. 也就是D选项的同义转换并不是一直在扩张因此B错误。
15. According to the professor, what are two factors that prevent Nightcap Oak
population from spreading(2)
● The complex conditions required for the trees to produce fruit
● the fact that the seed cannot germinate while locked inside the shell
