今天A卷听力部分，一篇astronomy讲座，讲的是Titan(土卫六)，这是2014-10-18大陆真题。
土卫六（Titan，又称为泰坦星）是环绕土星运行的一颗卫星，是土星卫星中最大的一个，也是太阳系第二大的卫星。
The early atmosphere of Earth may have been like the atmosphere of one of Saturn's Moons, Titan.
土卫六的大气层和地球早期大气层很像，这非常不可思议。
After all, Titan only gets about 1% the amount of sunlight we get here. And because it's so far away from the sun, it's obviously pretty cold. But Titan does have something that no other moon in the entire solar system has. And that's a thick atmosphere. One that's similar to what we think Earth's early atmosphere was like. And Titan's the only celestial body other than Earth known to have constant periods with liquid on its surface.
阳光照射少，严寒，但是大气层厚，这和地球早期大气层像。并且，土卫六地表有过液体。这种液体不是水，而是methane(甲烷)。

今天B卷听力部分，一篇English literature讲座，讲的是Jane Austen's Prideand Prejudice，这是2014-03-01大陆真题。
简·奥斯丁与目前我们读到的作家相比有非常不同的背景。像许多当时的女性，奥斯汀几乎没有接受过正规教育，但是她从来没有停止自学。
There was nothing systematic about Austen's reading, so most of her education was basically informal.
她读任何在她父亲的大阅览室能找到的东西，或者她可以借朋友和邻居接到的东西。
In fact, Austen's letters are filled with reports of what she and other members of her family were reading, along with her opinions of the books.
因为她缺乏正规教育，奥斯汀并没有接触到英国文学传统的结构化方法，也不知道知名学者的论点。
What we have in Jane Austen is a writer who was also avery engaged reader and whose reading definitely influenced what she wrote.
通观察简奥斯丁的小说中的人物，你会注意到奥斯丁笔下的人物一定是很爱书的，角色的对白常常包含文学相关的内容。
Austen's readers got an unconventional look at literary references, because within her novel, knowledge of books is continuous with other forms of knowledge.

今天C卷听力部分，有一篇学术和计算机实验室工作人员的对话，讲的是Jane Austen's Prideand Prejudice，这是2015-06-14大陆真题。
学生刚开始说计算机打印出现了问题，工作人员告诉他，今年我们在printing station增加了一个新步骤。
There is a station, well, a computer actually, next to every printer now. You will need to go to the printing station, and you'll see a list of all the documents that people have sent to the printer, find your document on the list, click on it, and then it will print.
工作人员说这是为了避免学生误操作浪费纸。后来学生就说到internship实习的事情。
The internship is not really related to my studies, but it sounded interesting. And it's good to branch out, learn about new things in different areas.
这是第三题的答案。
原文如下。
Student
Oh, I heard about it on the radio. The participants were gonna be planting grasses and flowers and stuff for the new green roofs on campus.
Consultant
Green roofs?
Student
Yeah, they are basically gardens on the tops of buildings.
Consultant
Why, so students here can study plant growth or something?
Student
That's not what they said on the radio. They said the green roofs can lower the temperature inside the building, so you don't have to spend as much as air-conditioning.
Consultant
Oh, that's a good idea.
Student
Yeah, and also in a city, storm water runoff, you know, rain water that runs into sewers, and local lakes and rivers. This runoff apparently picks up a lot of pollution from the pavement, green roofs observe some of that rain, which reduces runoff, which in turn helps the water quality.

总论点：一种体型巨大的史前恐龙，有三个理论来解释它为什么这么大。
分论点一：大气中的氧气含量比较高（high level of oxygenin the atmosphere）
分论点二：恐龙有充足的食物（plentiful food source）
分论点三：温暖的气候（warm climate）
听力主要观点提取
总论点：阅读中的三个理论不准确
分论点一：人们一般认为在那个时候的氧气含量是30%，而现在大气中含氧量只有21%。但是事实上，这个数据并不accurate。有一群specialists做过研究，发现J和C时代的氧气含量其实是15%-20%，甚至都没有达到今天的含氧水平。
分论点二：阅读中提到的恐龙吃的食物虽然量很多，但是营养却不多。因为森林里的树长的越快，含有的营养却远远小于长得慢的树。
分论点三：事实上，warm climate对于大的恐龙来说其实是一个big challenge。因为它需要avoid overheat。这对于它来说，比对那些小型动物更难，因为它的体积更大，更不容易做到。所以其实这是一个disadvantage。
