8.16Pearson Sydney – from Belinda

Speaking:

ReadAloud:

不难，有生词，但是准备的时候多读几遍就好了。

RepeatSentence:

前面几句很简单，可以完整复述，后面长的把能记住的流利说出来就好了，哪怕不是完整的一句话。有大神介绍首字母法，但我写字慢，确实练不出来，写字快的同学可以试试。

DescribeImage:

RetellLecture:

1.     Dimensions

给了一张PPT，图上列有五个点，分别是1-longitude，2-latitude，3-altitude，4-time，5-event: where/when。大致意思就是The number of variablesused to specify position. 如果near the equator就用one number: longitude，这是one dimension；on the surface就用two numbers: longitude和latitude去locate一个地方，这是two dimension；over the surface用three numbers: longitude,latitude, altitude (three dimension)；in the space用4 numbers: longitude,latitude, altitude ，还有time (four dimension)。最后阐明只有带入四维才能解释空间是where does it happen andwhen does it happen。

2.     拿破仑三世重建巴黎Napoleon III Paris Renovation

This lecture mainly talks about therenovation of Parisin 1890s. 然后说了拿破仑1891年看到的old Paris是the evil of Paris，所以决定对它进行改造。The renovation was a vastpublic program commissioned by Napoleon the third and directed by Haussmann.Napoleon the third instructed Haussmann to bring air and light to the centre ofParis and todrain the sewages.  And he also askedHaussmann to plant more trees, build roads and to make the city safer. Thereason for doing this was that the old Parishad many serious problems such as overcrowding, diseases and crimes.

3.     Lickingand Grooming (LG): rat experiments about low LG and high LG.

图有点不一样，但是大致意思差不多。Some mother rats spend alot of time licking, grooming, and nursing their pups. Others seem to ignoretheir pups. Highly nurtured rat pups tend to grow up to be calm adults, whilerat pups who receive little nurturing tend to grow up to be anxious. High LGrats的后代以后更能处理stress和alcohol，low LG则相反。还有一些特性可以照着图片念。

AnswerShort Questions:

1.     给了一个像流程图的东西，问黑色的是什么？答：student。

2.     一张课表，问econ 2XXX在课表上出现了几天？答：五天。

其它的不太记得了，很多带图的，听的时候注意看图片，不带图的也很简单。

SummariseWritten Text:

1.     伦敦逐渐成为金融中心的过程（It’ll Never Fly: The City of London）

原文：

Whowould have thought back in 1698, as they downed their espressos, that thelittle band of stockbrokers from Jonathan's Coffee House in Change Alley EC3would be the founder-members of what would become the world's mighty moneycapital?

Progresswas not entirely smooth. The South Sea Bubble burst in 1720 and the coffeehouse exchanges burned down in 1748. As late as Big Bang in 1986, when bowlerhats were finally hung up, you wouldn't have bet the farm on Londonsurpassing New York, Frankfurt and Tokyo as Mammon'sinternational nexus.

Yetthe 325,000 souls who operate in theUKcapital's financial hub have now overtaken their New York rivals in size of the funds managed(including offshore business); they hold 70% of the global secondary bondmarket and the City dominates foreign exchange trading. And its institutionspaid out billion in bonuses in December. The Square Mile has now spread botheastwards from EC3 to Canary Wharf and westwards into Mayfair,where many of the private-equity 'locusts' and their hedge-fund pals now hangout. For foreigners in finance, Londonis the place to be. It has no Sarbanes-Oxley and no euro to hold it back, yetthe fact that it still flies so high is against the odds.

London is one of the mostexpensive cities in the world to live in, transport systems groan and there'san ever-present threat of terrorist attack. But, for the time being, the dealsjust keep on getting bigger.

大概意思：

开头提到原来money capital在咖啡店旁边coffee house伦敦的espresso

第二段伦敦超过美国成为世界金融中心

第三段提到伦敦有325,000金融人士，占世界金融市场70%

第四段提到伦敦的生活the most expensive in the world

答案：

London, used to be a small placewhere stockbrokers rest in a coffee house, has now overtaken New York to become the world’s largestglobal secondary bond market and foreign exchange trading centre, even withdrawbacks such as high life expenditure, overcrowded transport and threats fromterrorism.

2.     CompulsoryVoting

这个我没找到原文，不好意思。

第一段大概是说有些democratic countries施行compulsory voting，但是democracy，不是应该让群众自己决定才叫民主吗？

中间一段还说了当有人被forced to make decision的时候，就会应付了事，比如80%的乱投票的人，会直接选候选名单上的第一个人。

最后一段说了Australia是为数不多施行compulsory voting的民主国家之一，还列举了一些非强制投票的民主国家。

WriteEssay:

1.     Somepeople think laws can change human behaviour. Other people think laws havelittle impact on human behaviour. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

2.     有人认为newspapers are no longer necessary inthe modern society。元芳，你怎么看？

Reading:

时间很赶，大家平时练习的时候一定要卡着时间做。我后面拖词填空基本直接看词性选的，都没时间读。两道单选连文章选项都没来得及看，直接乱选的。

顺便啰嗦一句，阅读不好的同学着重练习Read Aloud、Highlight Incorrect Words和Summarise Written Text，保了这三种题型，过65是没问题的，特别是Read Aloud给阅读的提分很重，读好了差不多可以加20多分。

Listening：

SummariseSpoken Text:

1.     Receptor– eardrum

原文：

Underappropriate conditions, mind you. Sound receptors. You've got sound receptorsin your ear and they are beautiful.

We'renot going to talk about them at any length, but there's little flappy, theselittle spiky things going along in your ear and they can translate vibrationalenergy coming from your ear, hurting your eardrum, being translated into avibration into the fluid in your ear into a physical motion of these littlereceptors there into an electrical motion, into an electrical signal that goesinto your ear.

So,all of that, all of that's pretty impressive stuff. We're not going to talkabout the details of it, but I invite some of you who want to learn more aboutthis, particularly MIT students I think find receptors really quite remarkable kindsof devices.

答案：

Soundreceptors are the flappy, spiky things that translate the vibrational energy,through our eardrums, into the vibrations of the fluid in ears. The physicalmotion will turn into electric motions and electric signals in ears. At theend, instead of talking about details of it, MIT students are invited to have acloser view of receptors with the same quality of the ears.

2.     大学竞赛University Competition，有很多竞赛可供选择，举了几个例子，还有staff competition，另外跟government funding和什么contract有关，而且这种竞赛通常是more than one university，最后说了学校的prime chancellor（注意拼写，我拼了半天才拼对 -0-）会来参加。

HighlightIncorrect Words:

一定不能走神，读得非常之快，而且文章很短，我这次没做好，感觉唰地一下就过去了。

WriteFrom Dictation:

1.      Referencematerials are on hold on the library reference desk.

2.      Themain concepts of these events were not yet fully understood.

3.      Wesupport the research on tropical dynamics and forecasting.

记首字母法非常有用，我之前这部分做得很差，这次记首字母基本都写下来了。

最后说几句废话O(∩_∩)O！我这次考试有点喷麦，之前在其他机器考都没问题的，这次一呼吸就有很大的气流声。我跟监考老师说，老师让我holdyour breath，我就说那我也不能一直hold着不呼吸啊。后来我一直在那试音，屏幕上的字读了好几遍。后来老师终于忍不住，问我要不要重启试试，因为重启耳机也会reboot，我说好啊好啊。然后重启完稍微好点了，但是说完一句话还是有点喷。我就凑合了。

考完试onhold一天，我那个心惊胆战啊！生怕成绩出来口语狂低！虽然这次流利度降了10多分，但还好过啦。所以大家一定要多试下麦，有问题一定要跟老师说，不要不好意思，不然真是在做donation了 -0-！最后祝大家考试顺利！该7炸的7炸！该8炸的8炸！(*^__^*)
