understand and learn the information that is being conveyed. 1 Here are some things which can help
you to listen actively.
◆Listen for the main point and major subpoints. 2 Listen carefully and make sure you understand
what the purpose of this lecture is. As you take down notes, keep the main point in mind and make sure
you understand how these notes are related.
◆Listen for an organizational structure. Listen carefully to figure out how the ideas are organized and
they will make more sense.
◆Pay attention to organizational cues. 3 Pay close attention to the introduction, as it will
probably indicate how you should organize your notes. If the lecture begins with, "Today I"m going to
talk about three ethnic conflicts in the Middle East," then you have a good idea of what"s going to follow.
Listen for "signpost" words to indicate a transition for one point to the next, such as "next" and "finally"
and numerical signposts like "first" or "third".
◆Listen with your eyes. 4 Watch the teacher and be aware of how he or she uses hand gestures, eye contact and other body language to convey points.
◆Remove distractions. Put away the campus newspaper, your cell phone and anything else that
might be more interesting than the lecturer.
Learning to concentrate and listen actively is an endurance skill. 5
B. Unfortunately, many students don"t know how to listen actively when they attend classes.
C. If your teacher indicates that something is important, mark it.
D. Make yourself do it, and it will get easier over time.
E. Listen carefully for words and phrases that reflect the organizational structure of the lecture.
F. Your teachers" notes are probably organized into some kind of outline.

leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits (半导体电路). But long before then, perhaps as
early as 2020,some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality (虚的永生).
Researchers are confident that the technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your
life?Whatever you see and hear,all that you say and write,can be recorded,analyzed and added to your
personal chronicles (履历). By the year 2030,it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through
electrical activities,which would also keep your thoughts and emotions.
Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as
Soul Catcher.Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher.It would use a wearable
supercomputer,perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to microseosors under your scalp (头皮) and
in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals.So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.
At first,the Soul Catcher"s companion system-the Soul Reader-might have trouble copying your
thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030,we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is
working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But
these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds
everlasting entities (永生实体). Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day
and find yourself alive inside a machine.
For people who choose not to live in silicon,semblance of immortal ity would not be as useless as they
thought.People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human
race forever.And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past.History would
not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars,and a few thinkers in the upper society.
B. there are many difficulties in making the Soul Catcher
C. people can live forever as technology develops
D. the invention of Soul Catcher has great importance
B. a new invention in order to catch and keep human"s thoughts
C. made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living forever
D. made of silicon circuits which can catch people"s nervous activity
B. far from certain
C. just an idea that couldn"t be realized at all
D. a fading hope
B. make famous
C. make known
D. make active

Some parents like the idea of uniforms. Some say it means they do not have to spend much on clothing for their kids. Others, though, argue that uniforms represent an unnecessary cost.
There are also debates about whether uniforms or other dress rules go against civil rights. Students and parents have taken legal action against school dress requirements. At the beginning of this July, a middle school was asked to stop its dress rule unless families have a way out of it. The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California brought the case for the families of several students who had been punished by the school. Most attention centered on a girl who wore socks with the Tigger character from Winnie the Pooh. The school said its clothing rules, including no pictures of any kind, were needed to control a growing problem with gangs. The families argued that the policy went against free speech rights as protected by the United States and California constitutions (宪法).
The United States Supreme Court says student expression is protected as long as it does not harm the work and the rule of a school. But some educators believe dressing alike helps improve student learning. They believe that uniforms help create a sense of unity and reduce the risk of fights. They also say uniforms make it easier for security reasons to tell if someone belongs to the school or not.
B. most public schools move in the direction of requiring uniforms at church
C. most schools require the students to be dressed in white shirts and dark colored pants
D. more and more schools have a dress rule about what are suitable for schoolchildren
B. Some parents think the rule has nothing to do with them.
C. Some parents say that uniforms are an extra cost for them.
D. Some others argue that uniforms or other dress rules go against civil rights.
B. She put Tigger into her shoes in class.
C. She wore socks with pictures.
D. She had a problem with some gangs.
B. students focus on their studies
C. make a united effort to avoid fights
D. strengthen campus security
English will be quite perfect.
This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you"ll find it not
half so hard as you might have thought.
Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a
lot on our way to success in English.
Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad
news. When using English, you should try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own
language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.
B. To forget your own native language
C. To translate everything into his own language
D. To memorize the English words and grammatical rules
your own language can ______.
B. Stop you mastering English
C. Make English easy to learn
D. Help you notice mistakes
B. to be able to read and write English
C. To translate English into your own by imagining
D. To be able to experience the rich sensation of the language
fact hard to believe, though. Two new studies show that in America"s heartland, summers are now cooler
and wetter than they were in years past. The scientists suggest that the change in the Midwest climate
may have happened because of farming.
The first study was led by David Changnon, a climatologist at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb.
A climatologist studies the climate of an area, which includes measuring rainfall, temperature and wind.
Climatologists want to know how these factors have changed in the past, and how they will change in the
future.
Changnon and his team studied temperature records from Chicago and 13 other sites in the Midwest.
"These two changes -lower temperatures and more rainfall-may be connected by humidity," Changnon
says. Humidity is the measure of how much moisture is in the air. Humid air, which contains a lot of
moisture, takes longer to heat up than dry air.
So where did the extra moisture in the air come from? Changnon points to farms in the region. As
plants grow, they pull moisture from the ground and release it into the air. And among plants, soybean
and corn plants release a lot of moisture. Midwestern farms now plant more soybeans and corn than in
the past, with 97 percent of farmland today planted with these two crops. He also notes that the plants
are planted closer together now than they used to be, so there are more plants per acre than in the past.
The second study was led by famous scientists from the US. The researchers studied a vast area of
the United States that stretches from South Dakota to Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle. They found
that in 1930, farmers in that region irrigated only about 1.8 million acres of farmland, an amount roughly
half the size of Connecticut. In 1980, however, farmers irrigated nearly 15 million acres-more land than
Vermont and New Hampshire combined.
B. It means that the rain is heavier than before
C. It means that the weather is cooler and there is also more rainfall than before
D. It means that our mind should be changed about farming in the future
B. farmers irrigated nearly 15 million acres in 1930
C. we must plant more trees in order to protect our environment
D. the climatologists have told us two aspects about the reason for the climate change
B. rainfall
C. water
D. steam
B. The Analysis for the Weather
C. Why Climate in Midwest Is Changing
D. The Importance for Plants and Irrigation
