Conversation One M: You are a professor of physics at the University of Oxford, you’re a senior adviser at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, you also seem to tour the globe tirelessly giving talks. And, in addition, you have your own weekly TV show on science. Where do you get the energy? W: [1] Oh, well, I just love what I do. I’m extremely fortunate to have this life, doing what I love doing. M: Professor, what exactly is your goal? Why do you do all of this? W: Well, as you said, I do have different things going on, but these I think, can be divided into two groups: [2] the education of science and the further understanding of science. M: Don’t these two things get in the way of each other? What I mean is, doesn’t giving lectures take time away from the lab? W: Not really. No. I love teaching, and I don’t mind spending more time doing that, now than in the past. Also, what I will say is that [3] teaching a subject helps me comprehend it better myself. I find that it furthers my own knowledge when I have to explain something clearly, when I have to aid others in understanding it, and when I have to answer questions about it. Teaching at a high level can be very stimulating for anyone, no matter how much expertise they may already have in the field they are instructing. M: Other any scientific breakthroughs that you see on the near horizon? A significant discovery or invention we can expect soon. W: The world is always conducting science and there are constantly new things being discovered. In fact, right now [4] we have too much data sitting in computers. For example, we have thousands of photos of planet Mars taken by telescopes that nobody has ever seen. We have them, yet nobody has had time to look at them with their own eyes, let alone analyze them.
1. Why does the woman say she can be so energetic? 【试题答案】A 【试题解析】题目问为什么这位女士说她能如此精力充沛？男士问女士那么多的精力从何而来，女士回答说她就是热爱自己所从事的事业，并且感到非常幸运能够拥有这样充实的生活，做自己喜欢的事情，A选项“她可以奉献一生去追求她所热爱的事情”与录音原文表述一致，因此正确。B选项“她积累的专业知识帮助她实现了自己的目标”在录音中没有提及；C选项“她可以在每周的电视节目上传播她的学术思想”，利用录音中的weekly TV show设干扰，录音中并没有提及“传播她的学术思想”，因此不正确；D选项“她的研究成果在世界上广受赞誉”属于过度推断，录音内容并未涉及到这一点。 2. What has the woman been engaged in? 【试题答案】D 【试题解析】题目问的是女士从事的工作。录音中女士明确说到她同时做着不同的事情，但这些事情总的可以分为两大类：科学教育和对科学的进一步理解。D选项“科学教育和科学研究”中的science education是录音中the education of science的同义表达，而scientific research则是录音原文the further understanding of science的抽象概括，要进一步理解科学必然离不开科学研究。因此D选项正确。A选项“为欧洲核实验室提供指导”，录音中提到女士是牛津大学的物理学教授和欧洲核研究组织的高级顾问，前者属于科学教育，后者属于科学研究，A选项只涉及其中一个是不全面的，因此不正确；B选项“到世界各地参加科学类的电视节目”，这里是将录音中提到的女士会去世界各地演讲和她每周都会上科学电视节目这两个信息杂糅在一起从而产生干扰，因此不正确；C选项“监督牛津大学的两个研究小组”在录音中没有信息提及，因此排除。 3. What does the woman say about the benefit teaching brings to her? 【试题答案】A 【试题解析】题目问关于教学给她带来的好处，女士说了什么？录音中女士表示她热爱教学，教授一门课程能够帮助她更好地理解这门课程（comprehend it better）。因此A选项“更好地理解这门学科”正确。B选项“迎接挑战的意志增强”和D选项“与年轻人建立更密切的关系”在录音中均没有信息提及，因此可排除；C选项“拓展相关领域的知识”，录音中女士只说到教学能够加深她对所教授学科的专业知识的理解，并没有说还能够拓展相关领域的知识，选项属于过度推断，因此不正确。 4. How does the woman say new scientific breakthroughs can be made possible? 【试题答案】B 【试题解析】题目问的是女士关于如何实现新科学突破的看法。录音中男士问到女士关于科学的重大突破、发现或发明的问题，女士回答说全世界都在开展科学研究，不断有新事物被发现，目前他们科学家的电脑里就有大量的数据，只是没人有时间去看一看，更不用说分析了。言下之意，女士希望有人能将电脑里大量的科学数据充分利用起来，进行分析和研究，这样就可以实现新的科学突破。因此，B选项“通过充分利用现有的数据”与原文表述相符，因此正确。A选项“通过运用最新的研究方法”；C选项“以先前的科学发现为基础”和D选项“通过利用更强大的计算机”均不正确，只是出现了录音中的个别单词来进行混淆，因此不选。
