Section 1
Conversation 1
1. Why does the student go to the man's office?
A.To get some advice on an article that she is writing
B.To find out about getting a job on the student newspaper
C.To protest the university's decision about a statue
D.To complain about an article in the student newspaper
答案：D
解析：(原文中)But you know, the editor used the situation to say some really unfair things, about the student government, and the president Sally Smith in particular. I think the paper should publish a retraction, or at the very least an apology to Sally.
Advisor 问：Is this something to do with what the editor wrote about the statue? 这里开始就是重点了。前面虽然有问答但是学生都回答的太笼统，这个问句终于开始问关键问题了。学生回答的也很明显，But you know 是提示词，后面的开始时关键。她说编辑利用她的位置登出的文章有一些很不公平的事，尤其是针对 Sally Smith 的，要求道歉。选项没啥很迷惑的选项，选择 D。
2. What points does the man make about the article they are discussing? Click on 2 answers
A.It was the personal viewpoint of the writer
B.It was based on research by one of the editors
C.It was meant to be humorous.
D.Not many people have read it.
答案：AC
解析：(原文中)(56 秒)定位句Ok. Um… if I remember correctly, what you are referring to wasn’t a news story, but an editorial, right? Eh, it was on the opinion page, it was signed by one of the editors, and was clearly labeled as commentary.
文中不仅出现 Ok，Um 这种提示词，后面还有 but，和 right?这种自问自答，很明显提示这就是答案了。advisor 说，他记得表明了是个人观点，并说明是一个 commentary。. 所以答案AC是正确滴，B中 research 没有提到过，D 更是没说有多少人读。
3. What is the student's opinion of the editorial's representation of Sally Smith?
A. She agrees it was accurate.
B. She believes it was not respectful.
C. She believes that the editor was referring to someone else.
D. She agrees that the editorial's focus on Sally's background is relevant
答案：B
解析：(1’18”原文中)And, well, the tone in the editorial was demeaning. It accused her of not respecting the past and it had some personal stuff that seemed unnecessary.
And，well 还微停顿，所以，这就是出题点了。女生提到编辑的声音是有损人格的(demeaning)，所以答案是 B，不尊重人的。
4. What does the man imply about the university's student government organization?
A. Its reputation has been damaged by recent events.
B. Its leaders need to be more careful about what they say in public about the university.
C. It will probably benefit from what the newspaper printed about it
D. Its communications with the public have recently become more effective
答案：C
解析：(1’44”)(1’18”原文中)I’d say the article is bringing attention to the student government organization, which is pretty invisible. Eh, you rarely hear about what the student government is doing.
这句话是在 advisor 引用了一句“all publicity is good publicity”，而且还是问句之后出现的，应该引起同学们的注意。Advisor 说这篇文章为 student government organization 带来了关注，所以 student government organization 也获得了好处。而以前很少听到学生组织都在干什么，所以选 C，benefit from the article。
5. What does the woman imply when she says this [Really? She would let us do that? ]
A. She does not think that she is capable of writing the response herself.
B. She has already prepared a response to give to the editor
C. She is worried that Sally is too upset to participate.
D. She is not convinced that the editor will agree to the request.
答案：D
解析：(2’35”)(1’18”原文中)[Really? She would let us do that? ]
前后都进行了重放，前面说的是 advisor 建议女生去找编辑，希望得到公平，并可以写一个回应，女生说 really??表示对这个建议的怀疑，不确定。选择 D。语气加上前面的场景，很容易理解。
Lecture 1
6. What does the professor mainly discuss?
A. Sudden population increases in early states
B. Possible reasons for the formation of early states
C. Consequences of agricultural land shortages in ancient Egypt
D. Common political problems of chiefdoms
答案：B
解析：(4”)(1’18”原文中)One of the big questions when we look at prehistory is why did the earliest states form?
这位教授开头没废话，直接说了一个 big question，就是 why…所以就选 possible reasons。听好开头很重要，一般的主旨题会定位在开头。
7. According to the professor, what are two typical characteristics of a band? Click on 2 answers.
A. It is the smallest type of group.
B. It is the most sociopolitically complex type of group
C. It practices intensified agriculture
D. It is able to meet its own basic needs.
答案：AD
解析：(15”)(1’18”原文中)The human groups that are the smallest and have the least social and political complexity, we call bands.
(1’20”)At the least complex end of the spectrum, the few families living in bands are able to meet their own basic needs.根据这两句话，可以确定答案为AD。
首先，教授说的分类要听清楚，A 选项就可以选出来了再来，教授问了一堆问题之后，提出了一个理论，然后开始解释，At the least complex end of the spectrum,这句话出现之后，教授说最不复杂的也就是 bands，他们比较少的家庭能够满足他们基本需求。D 选项也成为了答案。
