考古學家是認為(wei) 在此之前全都是一些微生物或者軟體(ti) 動物，他們(men) 根本就不會(hui) 留下化石。當這些地質學家在尋找這些化石的時候，發現因為(wei) 這些化石本身地層就非常的古老，他們(men) 很有可能被深藏在地下，承受著巨大的熱量以及壓力。因此哪怕有化石，這些化石有可能也已經變質了。還有一種可能是這些畫室已經被腐蝕掉了，還有一種可能是他們(men) 被壓在上麵的底層，深深的壓在下麵，幾乎無法找到。

而且科學家們(men) 通過研究地層發現，在此之前的地層很明顯氧氣非常的缺乏，這使得生物很難在當時來進行生長。因此在那個(ge) 時候，整個(ge) 地球上麵全都是細菌。他們(men) 被海洋所進行覆蓋。而且哪怕找到的一些化石，也基本上都是微生物或者是一些薄片。哪怕用顯微鏡來進行觀察，也很難去發現他們(men) 。因此地質學家很難去發現這些化石。曾經有一次一位北美的考古學家就發現，一塊化石上麵的結構很像是一個(ge) 冰晶。像是冰晶所組成的一個(ge) 圖案。但是他認為(wei) 這僅(jin) 僅(jin) 是冰晶而不是化石。換句話說，也就是考古學家們(men) 很容易腦補出一些圖案或者是形狀。但是這並不是化石本身。

因為(wei) 很多的地質學家在早期的時候就會(hui) 腦補各種各樣的形狀，以及認為(wei) 他們(men) 有可能是化石，他們(men) 就感覺這個(ge) 裏麵石頭的某些形狀特別像是一些樹枝，而這些樹枝有可能本身是由一些化學物質組成的，隻是它們(men) 的形狀很像是植物。與(yu) 此類似的是，一些化學物質很容易會(hui) 形成小球，而這些小球經常被一些人認為(wei) 是一些動物的大腦。這就像是我們(men) 看空中雲(yun) 的時候，我們(men) 就能把這些雲(yun) 想象成小兔子，想象成城堡，想象成火龍是一樣的。因此，經驗豐(feng) 富的考古學家會(hui) 懷疑每一個(ge) 新的發現。

整個(ge) 植物的群落往往生物多樣性非常高，而不是被一種植物所主導，因為(wei) 這很有可能是與(yu) 整個(ge) 熱帶雨林的進化是有關(guan) 聯的，因為(wei) 在早期的時候，整個(ge) 的熱帶雨林其實也非常的幹旱，因此熱帶雨林隻能縮成一片又一片的小的群落來進行生長，然後慢慢的隨著整個(ge) 地球的水分越來越高。不同的生物群落又重新聯合在一起，這使得不同的生物必須來進行很好的融合，並且保證生物的多樣性很高。而且如果是單一生物占據主導的話，那麽(me) 往往某一種病毒的出現就有可能使得整片的植物全都死亡。而且新的植物一定是與(yu) 老的植物離得越遠，才能獲得更多的陽光，進而更好的生長。這都降低了相同植物占據絕對優(you) 勢的可能性。

而且在熱帶雨林當中，因為(wei) 溫度合適，其實全年四季都有非常多的花朵以及果實。因此這些全年當中有接近20種樹木在不同的時段來開花結果。而且因為(wei) 它是常年開花結果的。這也使得在當地生活的動物常年都有樹葉可以來進行食用。因為(wei) 不同的花卉是有自己不同的授粉時間和授粉機製的。這也就需要各種各樣的昆蟲來進行配合。因此在當地可以找到幾十種螞蟻上萬(wan) 種昆蟲。

而且因為(wei) 整個(ge) 熱帶雨林的地麵上常年都會(hui) 有一些樹葉，這就會(hui) 使得這裏麵的樹葉分解的特別快，同樣樹葉分解了之後也會(hui) 給大地帶來在很多的礦物質，這樣就使得土壤的肥力就更好。而且隨著降水的出現，這些礦物質還會(hui) 被帶到土壤的下層。這樣就使得植物可以更好地進行吸收。

學生向藝術曆史教授谘詢了即將到來的學期課程的具體(ti) 要求。教授建議她前往書(shu) 店選購所需的教科書(shu) ，並利用自己的大學ID號碼登錄課程專(zhuan) 屬網站，以獲取課程安排、日曆和其他重要文件。對於(yu) 課程中所需的素描本，教授明確指出，學生將用它來記錄課堂筆記。麵對學生對自己繪畫技巧的擔憂，教授提出可以采用多種方式來豐(feng) 富素描本的內(nei) 容，比如可以添加相關(guan) 的複印件或圖像，以此來展示和反映課程所學的藝術元素

通過埃及的art了解當時的社會(hui) 環境關(guan) 於(yu) 古埃及日常生活的方式，教授向我們(men) 展示了通過墓葬藝術獲取的深刻見解。墓葬牆上的繪畫，被稱為(wei) “公式化的風俗畫”，生動地呈現了古埃及人的日常活動，如勞作、宴會(hui) 和奏樂(le) 。這些繪畫作品不僅(jin) 展現了社會(hui) 習(xi) 俗，還揭示了當時的社會(hui) 階層和家庭生活。以富裕官員Nebemun的墓葬壁畫為(wei) 例，畫麵中他與(yu) 家人的出遊場景，通過人物的發型和活動，向我們(men) 展示了古埃及社會(hui) 對年齡的識別和上層階級的休閑方式。此外，教授還介紹了通過墓葬中的模型來進一步了解古埃及人的生活。

物理學，教授闡述了電磁輻射的基本原理，特別指出了電磁波中電場與(yu) 磁場之間的密切聯係。教授指出，無論是可見光、X射線還是無線電波，它們(men) 都是電磁波譜中不同波長的表現，且每種波都由相互依存的電場和磁場構成。教授進一步闡釋說，盡管我們(men) 可以分別探討電場和磁場，但在實際的物理研究和應用中，我們(men) 往往更側(ce) 重於(yu) 電場的研究。這是因為(wei) 電場對物質的作用通常比磁場更為(wei) 顯著。

Elizabeth完成了她的達達藝術論文，並準備將其發給Larson教授，同時附上所有必要的附件。她對教授之前對初稿的寶貴反饋表示感激。在匯報論文進展的同時，Elizabeth分享她的一幅畫作被黃金畫廊選中參加展覽。然而，這幅畫原本是她計劃提交的作品集的一部分，而畫廊的展覽時間與(yu) 提交作品集的截止日期相衝(chong) 突，這讓她很困擾。Larson教授並不傾(qing) 向於(yu) 延長截止日期，考慮到Elizabeth的特殊情況，教授同意將作品集的提交期限延長兩(liang) 周，以給予她更多的時間來準備。Elizabeth對教授的理解感到感激，並承諾在期中考試結束後，會(hui) 及時與(yu) 教授溝通她的進展情況，確保所有任務都能按時完成。

海洋生物學，魚類和海牛的導航機製是研究的重點。在之前的講座中，我們(men) 了解到魚類依賴其側(ce) 線係統來感知水壓變化，從(cong) 而進行導航。本次，我們(men) 深入探討了海牛如何在其複雜的棲息地中導航。海牛生活在水質混濁、視線受限的沿海和河流生態係統中。由於(yu) 它們(men) 的視力不佳，且不具備鯨魚和海豚的回聲定位能力，海牛發展出了一套獨特的導航方式。海牛的皮膚上覆蓋著許多堅硬的觸覺毛發，這些毛發根部的神經末梢極為(wei) 敏感，能夠探測到周圍環境中的微小觸碰。

物理，在城市環境中，由於(yu) 高樓大廈的密集布局，可能會(hui) 增加雷暴發生的機會(hui) 。

曆史，關(guan) 於(yu) 古羅馬時期的水道係統，這一係統巧妙地將水源從(cong) 遠處輸送至城市中心，有效滿足了城市居民的用水需求。以羅馬城為(wei) 例，共建造了11條水道，它們(men) 每日為(wei) 50萬(wan) 至100萬(wan) 居民提供約1000升的用水。這些水道的建設過程非常注重科學與(yu) 技術的結合。首先，工程師們(men) 會(hui) 尋找穩定的水源，然後精心設計管道線路，確保其具有平緩的坡度，以便利用重力的作用，順利地將水輸送到城市各處。水道的主體(ti) 結構通常由鉛管或陶瓷管構成，部分管道鋪設在地下，這樣既保證了水流的順暢，又避免了對地麵交通和建築的影響。

口語

TASK 1獨立口語題

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement？Students should have a one-year vacation before they attend universities.

TASK 2校園題

Changes in Modern Literature Course

Reading: 1. To meet the needs of more students, the course will be moved to a larger lecture hall. This will solve the current enrollment limitation problem and allow more students to take this popular literature course. 2. Given the high demand for the course, a new evening session will be added, enabling more students to have the opportunity to enroll in "Introduction to Modern Literature."

Listening: The student disagrees with these changes. 1. In the course, it is very important for students to sit around a table and discuss. The new course arrangement may change this discussion form into a lecture form, which may lead to a reduction in learning effectiveness. 2. The evening session may not be convenient for many students because they usually have other activities or work at night. This may cause most students to still choose to attend classes during the day.

TASK 3學術講座題

The cost of sponsoring a sports event is often expensive. However, some companies have adopted a more economical way to establish a connection with these events. These companies create an impression of being associated with the event by placing advertisements at or around the event site. For example, advertising football sports goods inside a baseball stadium. In addition, companies may also set up huge billboards on the necessary roads leading to the competition venue, such as beside the highway, to attract the attention of passers-by.

Example: The professor attended a baseball game the previous year. During that game, advertisements of sports equipment companies could be seen everywhere in the venue, giving people the impression that the company is closely related to the event. However, in fact, on the highway leading to the competition venue, there is a huge billboard belonging to another company. Passers-by do not know whether this company has sponsored the game. In this way, this company actually enjoys the indirect publicity effect brought by the event without paying a high sponsorship fee.

TASK 4 學術講座題

Selective Breeding

In ancient times, when farmers grew crops, they would carry out selective breeding in order to improve the yield and quality of agricultural products. They would select the seeds of plants with certain ideal characteristics and continuously carry out reproduction. Over time, these varieties were gradually improved.

Example 1: Wheat. Initially, after wheat matured, the grains were easy to fall to the ground, making harvesting difficult. However, wheat with grains that did not easily fall off and could remain on the plant was relatively easy to harvest. Therefore, farmers began to select the seeds of these plants with grains that did not easily fall off. After years of cultivation, eventually all wheat varieties no longer easily fell to the ground, greatly facilitating the farmers' collection work. With this improvement, wheat became a major food crop, providing people with an abundant source of food.

Example 2: Pea Plant. In the early days, the fruits of pea plants were relatively small and could not meet people's needs. Farmers noticed this and began to select the seeds of plants with larger fruits and continue to reproduce. After continuous selective breeding, a pea variety with larger fruits was finally cultivated. This not only improved the edible value of peas but also increased the food supply.

綜合寫(xie) 作

The writer put forwards public health experts believe that adding a chemical substance to the local drinking water system would be more beneficial for human health. However, the professor’s lecture casts doubt on the reading.

To begin with, this substance can effectively prevent tooth decay. If a person's drinking water contains this substance all year round, the likelihood of getting tooth decay will be much lower. Because this substance, when combined with teeth, makes them stronger. The professor in the lecture challenges the opinion, for the reason that in fact, human toothpaste already contains this substance. It itself can prevent tooth decay. And because drinking water, the vast majority is swallowed, the chance of actually helping teeth is very low

In addition, this substance can kill some microorganisms in water. And the toxicity of this substance is very small, it will not harm the human body . However, the professor maintains an opposite opinion that this substance will react chemically with lead in public water supply pipelines. And lead will follow this substance directly into the human body, causing harm to the human body

In the end, the writer holds the view that the writer asserts thatthis substance can reduce the risk of fractures in the elderly. Because the bone content of the elderly is relatively low, increasing this substance can increase the activity of bone cells. Increase the density of bones . Whereas, the professor in the lecture believes, on the contrary of reading, If this substance is excessive, it actually increases the risk of fractures because it increases the activity of bone cells, making bones fragile. So if you want to consume, you should also control the content well, rather than unlimited intake.

Express and support your opinion.

Make a contribution to the discussion in your own words.

An effective response will contain at least 100 words.

We've been talking about the process of starting anew business. One of the most important aspects of the process is staffing-that is, deciding which people to hire. Please discuss the following question:ls it better for new businesses to hire experienced veterans of the industry or to staff the business with younger employees who are right out of university? Why do you think so?

Claire

I think a company should staff a business with the most experienced employees possible. Lfyou're starting a new business, you need people around you who know what they are doingand can quickly get the business up to speed. Spending time training inexperienced peoplewill slow you down.

Paul

I understand what Claire is saying, but if you are starting a new business, you want peoplewho are particularly enthusiastic and energetic. Who better than a recent graduate to bringthose abilitiesto the job? You would be guaranteed an ambitious hard worker.
