答案：AD
解析：（原文中）Yeah, I need to find a review. It‟s for my English class. We have to find reviews of the play we are reading. But they have to be from when the play was first performed, so I n eed to know when that was and I suppose I should start with newspaper reviews and…
从第一组对话中得出student来咨询的直接原因有两个一是要一份review，二是不知道从那份newspaper开始。BC是无关选项。
2. What does the woman imply about critical reaction to the play Happy Strangers?
A. Negative critical reaction led to its content being revised after it premiered.
B. The play has always been quite popular among university students.
C. Reactions to the play are more positive nowadays than they were in the past.
D. The play is rarely performed nowadays because critics have never liked it.
答案：C
解析：（原文中）Well, that certainly explains why your professor wants you to read some of those old reviews. The critiques really tore the play to pieces when it opened. It‟s so controversial. Nobody had ever seen anything like it on the stage. Oh, sure. Of course the critiques‟ reaction made some people kind of curious about it. They wanted t o see what‟s causing all the fuss.
从Women将现在人们的态度与过去作对比可以得知，现在人们的态度已经比以前积极了很多。B显然与事实相反，D有些混淆，但可以看出critics的态度也有所改变因此Never 这个次不对。

解析：（原文中）But I start with 1964, so I think the play had been running for a little while when I saw it.Well, I was impressed. The actors were famous, and besides it was my first time in a real theatre. Oh, well I guess you might think that. But when I saw it back then it was anything but boring. Some parts were really funny, but I remember crying too.
it was my first time in a real theatre.与A选项相对应。funny, but I remember crying too.
体现出她的反映是a variety of emotional reactions与D符合。
4. What is the man’s attitude toward his current assignment?
A. He is not confident that he will find the materials he needs.
B. He feels that performing in a play is less boring than reading one.
C. He thinks his review of the play will be more objective than the
contemporary reviews were.
D. He is optimistic that he will learn to appreciate the play he is
researching.
答案：D
解析：（原文中）That‟s a good idea. I‟ll have a better idea of what I really think of it before I read those reviews.
从student觉得自己还会有个更好的Idea看出他还是很optimistic的。从这句话就可以驳斥A。而B 在The story doesn‟t progress in any sort of logical matter, doesn‟t have real ending either, just stops. Honestly, you know, I thought it was kind of slow and boring. 中有提到boring但是并非对比。
5. Replay: Why does the woman say this?
A. To ask the man to clarify his request.
B. To state the man’s request more precisely.
C. To make sure that she heard the man correctly.
D. To correct a mistake the man has made.

解析：（原文中）You want contemporary reviews. What‟s the name of the play?
Student : It‟s Happy Strangers. It was written in 1962 and we are supposed to write about its influence on American theatre and show why it‟s been so impor tant.
从学生的回答可以看出woman想要narrow down search的范围，要具体的名称因此是B。她并没有改正这个男生任何问题，所以D错误。
6. What is the lecture mainly about?
A. Method s of observing unusual animal behavior.
B.    A theory about ways birds attract mates.
C. Ways animals behave when they have conflicting drives.
D. Criteria for classifying animal behaviors.
答案：C
解析：（原文中）Ok, the n ext kind of animal behavior I wan t to talk about might be familiar to you. Displacement activities are activities that animal‟s engaging in when they have conflicting drives.
一开头pro表明是要讲n ext kind of animal behavior I wan t…而之后的一连串解释后最终得出今天要讲的animal behavior就是conflicting drives。也就是C。
7. Indicate whether each of the activities below describes a displacement activity.
Click in the correct box for each phrase.
Yes No An animal attacks the ground instead of its enemy.
An animal falls asleep in the middle of a mating
ritual.
An animal eats some food when confronted by it
enemy.
An animal takes a drink of water after grooming
itself.
答案：N Y YN
解析：（原文中）Th at‟s exactly what I mean. Displacement occurs because the animal‟s got two conflicting drives –two competing urges, in this case, fear and hunger. And what happens is, they inhibit each other, they cancel each other out in a way, and a third seemingly irrelevant behavior surfaces through a process that we call …Disinhibition‟. Now in disinhibition, the basic idea is that two
drives that seem to inhibit, to hold back, a third drive. Or, well, they‟re getting in a way of each other in a… in a c onflict situation and somehow lose control, lose their inhibiting effect on that third behavior, which means that the third drive surfaces, it‟s expressed in the animal‟s behavior. Now, these displacement activities can include feeding, drinking, grooming, even sleeping. These are what we call …Comfort Behavior‟. So why do you think displacement activities are so often comfort behaviors, such as grooming?
通常表格题的答案一定是在一大段的陈述中，做题需要讲文中信息与表格选项一一对应。
8. What does the professor say about disinhibition?
A. It can prevent displacement activities from occurring.
B. It can cause animals to act on more than one drive at a time.
C. It is not useful for explaining many types of displacement activities.
D. It is responsible for the appearance of seemingly irrelevant behavior. 答案：D
解析：（原文中）And what happens is, they inhibit each other, they cancel each other out in a way, and a third s eemingly irrelevant behavior surfa ces through a process that we call …Disinhibition‟. Now in disinhibition, the basic idea is that two drives that seem to inhibit, to hold back, a third drive.
这句话先说出了disinhibition的定义，之后才说这就是我们所说的that we call …Disinhibition‟，容易听漏，但是这之前的内容就是答案。显然是没有prevent displacement activities 的作用，因此A错误。
9. According to the lecture, what is one possible reason that displacement activities are often grooming behaviors?
A. Grooming may cause an enemy or predator to be confused.
B. Grooming is a convenient and accessible behavior.
C. Grooming often occurs before eating and drinking.
D. Grooming is a common social activity.
答案：B
解析：（原文中）I mean, grooming is like one of the most accessible things an animal can do. It‟s something they do all the time, and they have the stimulus right there on the outside of their bodies in order to do the grooming,or if food is right in front of them. Basically, they don‟t have to think very much about those behaviors.
从grooming is like one of the most accessible things an animal can do中可以推断出grooming 是十分convenient，从之后的内容中够可以判断出它与food有关而与enemy无关，A错误。
10. Why does the professor mention the wood thrush?
A. To contrast its displacement activities with those of other animals species.
B. To explain that some animals display displacement activities other than grooming
C. To point out how displacement activities are influenced by the environment.
D. To five an example of an animal that does not display displacement activities.
答案：C
解析：（原文中）. For example, there‟s a bird, the …wood thrush‟, anyway,when the …wood thrush‟ is in an attack-escape conflict, that is, it‟s caught between the two urges to escape from or to attack an enemy, if it‟s sitting on a horizontal branch, it‟ll wipe its beak on its perch.If it‟s sitting on a vertical branch, it‟ll groom its breast feathers. The immediate environment of the bird, its immediate, um, its relationship to its immediate environment seems to play a part in which behavior will display.
Pro 提到woodtrash的原因就是为了举例，而举例的目的就是为了证明环境会影响动物的displacement activities。这里没有把displacement activities与gromming作对比。因此B错误。
11. Replay: What does the professor mean when she says this?
A. She is impressed by how much the student knows about redirecting.
B. She thinks it is time to move on to the next part of this lectures.
C. The student’s answer is not an example of a displacement activity.
D. The student should suggest a different animal behavior to discuss next.
答案：C
解析：Pro说完这句话后遍开始引入到这节课下一个环节，因此pro说这句话的目的就是为了提示学生，她即将进行到这节课的下一个环节。D错误是因为pro不是要再继续讨论另一种animal behavior。
12. What is the main purpose of the lecture?
A. To point out similarities n Emerson’s essays and poems.
B. To prepare the students to read an essay by Emerson.
C. To compare Emerson’s con cept of universal truth to that of other authors.
D. To show the influence of early United States society on Emerson’s writing.
答案：B
解析：（原文中）All right, so let me close today‟s class with some thoughts to keep in mind while you are doing tonight‟s assignme nt.You will be reading one of Ralph Waldo Emerson‟s best-known essays …Self-Reliance‟ and comparing it with his poems and other works.
Pro说的这整段的目的就是为了帮助学生们doing tonight‟s assignment提供一些信息。虽然提到了comparing it with his poems and other works.但并不是C选项中的compare E merson’s concept of universal truth to that of other authors.并没有说到其他author。
13. On what basis did Emerson criticize the people of his time?
A. They refused to recognize universal truths.
B. They did not recognize the genius of certain authors.
C. Their convictions were not well-defined.
D. They were too interested in conformity.
答案：D
解析：（原文中）So Emerson is really into each individual believing in and trusting him or herself. You‟ll see that he writes about, well, first, conformity. He criticizes that people of his time for abandoning their own minds and their own wills for the sake of conformity and consistency.
从pro的话中Emerson所批判的是与他同时代人的conformity and consistency,B 与事实不符But actually, he ties that in with a sort of …universal truth‟ – something that everyone knows but doesn‟t realize they know.
14. What does Emerson say about the past?
A. It should guide a person’s present actions.
B. It must be examined closely.
C. It is less important than the future.
D. It lacks both clarity and universal truth.
答案：C
解析：（原文中）Not conforming also means, uh, not conforming with yourself or your past。…Focus on the future,‟he says, “That's what matters more. Inconsistency is good.” Pro说了一组有关Emerson将past 与future进行的对比，Focus on the future,‟反推，完全体现出了他对past 的态度。因此选C
15. What point does the professor make when he mentions a ship’s path?
A. It is easy for people to lose sight of their true path.
B. Most people are not capable of deciding which path is best for them.
C. The path a person takes can only be seen clearly after the destination has
been reached.
D.    A person should establish a goal before deciding which path to take.
答案：C
解析：（原文中）He talks about a ship‟s voyage and this is one of the most famous bits of the essay - how the best voyage is made up of zigzag lines. Up close, it seems a little all over the place, but from farther away, t he true path shows and in the end it justifies all the turns along the way.So, don‟t worry if you are not sure where you‟re headed or what your long-term goals are.
Zigzag：adj. 曲折的；锯齿形的；之字形的vt. 使成之字形；使曲折行vi. 曲折行进；作之字形行进. 之字形；Z字形
可得出要达到终点都需要经过无数蜿蜒小路。t he true path shows and in the end it justifies all the turns along the way.因此选C。
16. What does the professor imply about himself when he recounts some life
experiences he had before becoming a literature professor?
Click on 2 answers.
A. He did not consider the consequences of his decisions.
B. He did not plan to become a literature professor
C. He has always tried to act consistently
D. He has trusted in himself and his decisions.
答案：BD
解析：（原文中）So, don‟t worry if you are not sure where you‟re headed or what your long-term goals are. Stay true to yourself and it‟ll make sense in the end. I mean, I can attest to that. My life is taking some pretty interesting turns and here I am, very happy with my experiences and where they‟ve brought me. If you rely on yourself and trust your own talents, your own interest, don‟t worry, your path will make sense in the end.
那么Pro以自己例子体现出很多时候要到最后才知道自己的目标是否适合自己。且一开始他从未打算过做pro而最后他十分的happy。因此选BD
