第一篇(听力原文):
The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare.
In this context, "almost surely" is a mathematical term with a precise meaning, and the "monkey" is not an actual monkey, but a metaphor for an abstract device that produces a random sequenceof letters ad infinitum. The theorem illustrates the perils of reasoning aboutinfinity by imagining a vast but finite number, and vice versa. The probabilityof a monkey exactly typing a complete work such as Shakespeare's Hamlet is sotiny that the chance of it occurring during a period of time of the order ofthe age of the universe is minuscule, but not zero.
But technologies can help monkeys to write. If the monkeysare given a pen and some papers to spell the word "monkey", they canonly scratch on the paper. By contrast, if they are given a typewriter, itwill takethem over 10 years to produce the right spelling. However, if they can use computer programing, they can finish the task within a day.
第二篇(听力原文):
The Right Honorable Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill,KG, OM, CH, FRS, PC (November 30, 1874 — January 24, 1965) was a British statesman, best known as prime minister of the United Kingdom during the SecondWorld War. At various times a soldier, journalist, author, and politician,Churchill is generally regarded as one of the most important leaders in British and world history. Considered reactionary on some issues, such as granting independence to Britain's colonies and at times regarded as a self-promoter who changed political parties to further his career, it was his wartime leadership that earned him iconic status. Some of his peacetime decisions, such as restoring the Gold Standard in 1924, were disastrous as was his World War Idecision to land troops on the Dardanelles. However, during 1940, when Britain alone opposed Hitler's Nazi Germany in the free world, his stirring speeches inspired, motivated, and uplifted a whole people during their darkest hour. Churchill saw himself as a champion of democracy against tyranny, and was profoundly aware of his own role and destiny. Indeed, he believed that God had placed him on earth to carry out.
