  1.讲prehistory的食谱。科学家通过分析这些,有助于分析什么什么的。但是分析所需化石标本不好取,所以他们取整块了,回实验室分离有机物和石头,用有机溶剂(有几道题)他们还分析骨骼的成分来判断食草还是食肉。还有通过哺乳动物的牙(有题)
  2. 讲植物生长受光的影响。根茎叶随光的变化。还有些特殊的组织来survive在光线不同的情况下。讲了土豆在春天生长,有题。
  3.海洋生物。原来认为还最底层没有生物,但人发现了。然后讲了pollution使每层的生物类群变了。还讲个大洋的海洋生物,种类多少。讲了海水温度对鱼的结构的影响。发现了和恐龙同时代的鱼,联系了海洋生物与陆地关系(有题)
  听力
  1:讲绘画现实主义与浪漫主义。讲一个人,他是现实主义的,他主张看到的是什么就花什么。展示了个画,有题。还有他的画法
  2:化学混合物,一种只有一个phase,一种好多个。举了酒精,烟,脏水,土的例子,有表格题。初中都学过。然后讲了分液的两种方法。过滤蒸发什么的。还有如何判断物质成分
  3:老师要写一个research,需要学生帮助他来做一部分工作,但学生说她已经有图书馆的工作,很有规律,有固定收入,老师强调说会给女生钱,女生说实在没有时间,虽然自己懂这个工作怎么做,老师说可以给老师减轻一点工作负担,女生考虑了一下说做一下试试看
  4:女生要换parking permit,老师说要换到另外一个地方,女生问为什么,老师说在建垃圾场,建议到另外一个地方,又便宜点,很多学生已经过去了,乘班车可以回到学校,但女生考虑了一下还是说在waiting list上等等
  5;Greenland and Northeastern的两个society,一个disappear了,一个expansion了。先讲第一个消失了的,他们的雪屋,他们发现铁,他们捕猎。消失原因未知。第二个出现了,他们采用好多原先的society的方法,比如雪屋和铁,不过他们会造船,能捕鲸。越来越往东搬
  6:讲照片和冲洗技术的发展。有三个重要人物。第一个大量借用了前人的技术,说没有先前的技术就没有他的成就。第二个发明了negative image,就是在个玻璃板上画东西,印到纸上就倒过来的,再用纸,又正过来。但此人的只有黑白,没法表现细节,比如深浅。第三个人解决了,用的方法不算新,通过材料的透光性,比如叶子对着阳光看,有深有浅,不过这种技术整出来的像和实际相反,就是实际浅的透光的黑,反之亦然
  另附听力 :
  有一篇讲lizard,说它看到捕食者时逃跑要制造很大噪音, 问学生为什么,一个说,他生活在枯树叶环境,不能轻声逃跑。老实说它本可以走的轻。有学生说warn others,老实说没同伴他们也make noise。事实上是warn捕食者,说自己很强大,而且有noise 它跑得快
  有一篇讲一帮画家画加拿大风景的,他们为什么画,他们搞什么活动,展览,他们的画不被美国人接受,但有些确成为加拿大标志
  第一篇女生去申奖学金,男的是officer。男的问了女生一些基础信息,说这个奖学金比较关注学生的实习,project也行,女生打断她说她不是申business的,是art的,男的道歉,说大多人是business,女生前面的也是。男的说art的form还没来,来了通知她
  还有一篇 学生去要parking permission,officer说没了,只能停在F area,在建新的楼,现在不是F的地方贵,F便宜。讲新楼状况,什么时候完工什么的。女生很是烦]
  口语
  第一题讲many students do volunteer work, 问what kind of volunteer do you want to be?
  第二题问Do you agree or disagree with the statement: artists and musicians are useful nowadays 大概这样
  第三题,阅读一个cancel poetry writing course 的通知,有两个cancel原因,1. there are less students which makes the class worthless. 2. students who want to take it can go to the State University nearby. 听力里男的上学期上了这门课,反对通知。1. there are less students but students can get more attention and feedback from professor. This point makes the class worth more. 2. it takes more than one hours from their school to state university by bus. Most students do not have car. inconvenience.
  第四题,阅读关于一个心理学上一个有顺序记忆东西的方法L。听力教授讲用这个方法有两步,现标记landmark,比如from your dorm to student center. the first thing you see is the front door, then the tree, then the status in front of library then the building. 再一一对应。比如to memorize planet in solar system. make Mercury as front door, Venus as tree etc. 选的东西要vivid,更好记
  第五题,the woman wants to take the economics class which is taught by Tomas, a famous professor, but she has to take 4 required courses to graduate and these make her full load. The man gives two solution. 1st, audit economics. thus she has not to worry about tests, paper... the woman worried about she cannot learn much in these way. 2nd, wave one required course and take it in summer. the woman is afraid it can influence her summer job.
  第六题,biology class,the professor introduce one special character of animals, making electricity. animals can benefit from it in 2 ways. 1st, capture food, e.g eel, produce strong currency shock the small fish then eat it. 2nd, D××鱼,build a electrical field to know the dark environment to avoid from rocks. do not get hurt
  写作:
  1.microcredit 是种小额贷款吧。
  阅读:可以减轻贫困,because it can help the poor start their business.但是这个办法存在问题,不可行。1st,the poor do not have much knowledge and experience about running business, 会导致失败 2nd,bank 办手续花钱,所以能借出去的有限 3rd,microcredit spend money of the government, 而**本可以把钱花到跟实际的地方,比如教育,基础设施来减轻贫困
  听力:against reading。microcredit可行。1,可以教the poor,how to budget balance, how to low cost.... e.g some organizations in India do so. 2, bank can lend money to group instead of individual,thus the cost is limited and the bank can lend more money. 3, the money of microcredit come from non-government institutions. on the other hand, it saves money of government. the government can spend more money on more important projects.
  2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
  The advertising is the main cause of unhealthy eating habits
  作文
  mirco cridit 就是小额贷款什么的给 poor
  passage:
  1, 认为没用,因为the poor 没有business 的经验, 听力中反驳,说可以 educate them, 并举了例子 india, teach them how to finance, how to buget
  2. 增加银行 administrative cost, 听力中 说可以 给 a small of group, instead of each person , 这样的话, cost 也不会增加
  3. 这样的话 政府 投资给poor的会减少。 听力反驳, 说这样的话,比如穷人从international 机构中 获得贷款之后, goverment save money 可以用于 bridges and road什么的。
  2独立作文、广告是否是不健康饮食的主要原因/advertising is the main cause of unhealthy eating habits?
