7. According to the professor, what problem is assisted migration intended to overcome?
A. To diminishing amount of undeveloped land that species can migrate through
B. The relative lack of nutrients available in cooler latitudes and higher elevations

C. The increase in alternations between cool and warm periods
D. Competition from other species in certain native habitats
答案：A
解析：细节题，题目问的是 assisted migration 能够尝试解决的问题是什么？ 文章介绍完 assisted migration 笔锋一转介绍迁移作为自然规律的而一种，同 assisted migration 的对比。 最后一句如果没有帮助的话则没有足够的空间让物种迁移，反过来，就是 A 答案所说的信 息
原文如下：So perhaps you are wondering why not let nature take its course now. Well we can't. The main problem is today's fragmented habitats. ….Today human development has paved much of the natural world. Ecosystems are fragmented; housing developments, highways, and cities were placed or sliced through forests and prairies. There are few corners left for species to migrate through without help.。

8. What point does the professor make when she discusses the cane toad 02:01
A. Translocated species sometimes die out from lack of food
B. Translocated species may spread too quickly in their new environment
C. Several techniques are available to achieve assisted migration
D. Animal species are often easier to translocate than plant species are
答案：B
解析：如果不知道 cane toad 是啥，没关系，这个例子出现在说 assisted migration 不好的地 方，因此只要在选项里找出消极态度的就可以。所以 B 项
原文如下：Now, assisted migration could become a viable part of our rescue strategy, but there are a number of uncertainties and risks. ......The cane toad was introduced back in 1935 to control an insect pest that was destroying Australia sugar cane plantations. But the cane toad itself became a pest and it destroyed much of the wild life on that continent.

B. Some species evolve in ways that help them survive in new habitats
C. It is difficult to know how far to move a network of species from its native habitat
D. Many assisted-migration plans should involve the translocation of just one species
答案：A
解析：这道题说的是 assisted migration 的另外一个不好的地方，就是 interdependent 互相依 赖性。所以本题选 A.
原文如下：Also, many species are interdependent, intimately connected to one another. Like animals that eat a certain plant and that plant relys on a certain fungus to help it get nutrients from soil. And on a certain insect for pollination, we probably have to translocate entire networks.

10. What does the professor imply about the government’s role in regulating assisted migration in the United States? 03:38
A. The government should continue to encourage assisted migration
B. The government has created policies that have proved unhelpful

C. The government should follow the example set by other countries
D. The government needs to increase its involvement in the issue
答案：D
解析：推断题，教授说目前关于 assisted migration 只是在生物机构组织内部讨论，但是相关 的决定策略至少管理自然资源的政府部门应该参与决定的。注意疑问句，和转折句。 原文如下：That rate of heatings far greater than during the last glacial retreat some twelve thousand years ago. Whether to use the assisted migration? this debate is mostly within the biology community right now. But the altimate decision makers, in United States at least, will be
the government agencies that manage natural resources.

B. She is concerned because it may have unintended consequences

D. She expects the effort will have to be repeated several times before it succeeds
答案：B 解析：文中说需要政府监管之后，提到了一个例子conservationists自发组织起来保护 Florida torreya的行为，但是，最后教授来了一句 like I said there could be unintended consequences 表明B项，注意关键词，In one case 举例子，but转折词汇等。
原文如下：In one case a group of conservationists has already take it upon itself to try on their own to save the endangered tree, the Florida torreya tree through assisted migration…..The group believes that its effort is justified but I and many other biologists will be watching very closely how this maverick group makes out because, like I said there could be unintended consequences

C. The popularity of folk music in Austria-Hungary during the early 1900s
D. The influence of folk music on the compositions of one Hungarian composer

答案：D
解析：这是篇主旨题，通篇都在讲一个 Bella Bartok.的人生经历以及他的音乐作品的形成； 最开始的时候，教授就说了学生们对 Bella Bartok 的忽略，紧接着又说 BB 是具有开拓性奇妙 的作曲家。所以选项应该选对人的及其作品方面的描述。故 D 选项。A 说的是 romantic style 风格的影响不对，B 说 nationalism 和流行乐的关系，后者文章没有提，错误。C，乡村音乐 在 early 1900 的流行，有点意思，但是，通篇都是在说人和那个人的作品，这个是一个细节， 所以选 D.
原文如下：So, I just finish reviewing your papers on the influence of nationalism of composers' music. And initially, I was surprised that none of you chose to write about Bella Bartok….. He was wonder and ground-breaking composer. Bella Bartok was a Hungarian

D. Its popularity was due to the work of Bart’k and other ethnomusicologists

答案：B
解析：细节题，文章说在 1900 年流行的 romantic 的风格，并且这方面的作曲也是非常流行 的，文章紧接着来个转折“但是”he was part of the musical community that was trying to change this. BB 准备尝试去打破这些，所以 BB 远走高飞去寻找不同音乐风格。答案选 B。 注意转 折词 but
原文如下：And in the early 1900 composers worked in the romantic style were most popular in AH. But Bartok, he was part of the musical community that was trying to change this. And it let him to, well, the first thing ... was to led him travel, he looked to the countryside for the music of the farmers and the people who lived in the small towns.

C. To give an example of occasions when Bart’k had an opportunity to hear folk music
D. To talk about why romantic music was popular in the countryside

答案：C
解析：细节题，这道题目是说例子的作用题，听原文大体出现 BB 同 folk music 之间的关系 这块。 A 选项说的太泛泛，throughout Eastern Europe； B，说 Bart 登台表演，听力没有说 过，而且一般作曲家不上台表演 D,跟 romantic 音乐没有关系，这里其实就是介绍 folk music。 做题时，要明白关键词出现在听力的那个逻辑链条的地方，然后选项排除。
原文如下：He roamed the countryside and listened to the music in the small towns and all sorts of celebrations. He attended weddings, dances and religious ceremony where he heard a very different sort of music from the romantic stuff being played in the concert halls in the cities.

16. According to the professor, why was Bart’k music popular in Austria-Hungary? 03:40
A. Bart’k music was considered more sophisticated than other concert-hall music
B. Bart’k compositions incorporated music from the local culture
C. People were familiar with the Romantic elements Bart’k included in his music
D. Bart’k took advantage of the popularity of ballet there and wrote many new ballets

答案：B
解析：细节因果题，出因果方面的时候，注意听力原文的一些提示词，如 because, why, so, casuse 等等，听力里面提到了 BB 一个非常芭蕾舞剧非常有名是因为音乐包含了当提名额和 音乐反应了当地音乐传统文化。所以选 B.
原文如下：It happened to be a time of strong nationalism in Austria, Hungary. So his composition came just at the right time. It became very successful there. Particularly, when Bartok's ballet The Wooden Prince opened, it was a great excitement for music that included musical elements from local folk songs, and music reflected the region's musical traditions

C. He believes the students should already be familiar with the term ‘glissando’
D. He will use an example of glissando to help define the term

答案：D
解析：态度题，这里有个提示词 Gelli Sandor，这句话的前文说 B 喜欢用 GS…as his home mark, 后面的这个重听句明显是对前一句的 define. A,B 都不靠谱，C 从语气上没有体现出教授认为 学生们已经知道了，恰好是说学生不知道，教授想来解释的那种感觉。
原文如下：He adopted a number of elements from what he heard, like unusual rhythms and he liked to use Gelli Sandor as his home mark, which you probably got from listening to Croatian folk music. Gelli Sandor is, well, I've got a recording of Bartok here.
