DictationUsing the Library You look for a book in one of two ways: /either youll know the author and title of he book, /or else youll want a book on a particular subject. /Lets start with what to do if you know the authors name and the title of the book./ The first thing is to look up the authors name in the Author Catalogue./ If you can find a card for the book, /you should then write down three things: /the author, the title and the class number./Now find the class number on the library shelves. / There are notices on the bookcases called shelf guides. / If you find the book on the shelf, / and you want to borrow it, take it to the Issue Desk./ If you cant find the book, / it means that someone else has borrowed it, / so you should ask the librarian to reserve it for you.cataloguereservean information desk; a reception desk询问处；服务台Conversation 1W；Im tired of watching television. Lets go to the movies tonight.M: All right. Do you want to go downtown? Or is there a good movie in the neighborhood?W: Id rather not spend a lot of money. What does the paper say about neighbourhood theaters?M: Well, the Grand Theater has Gone with the Wind.W: I saw that film years ago. I dont want to see it again. Anyway, its too long. We wouldnt get home until midnight.M: The Center has a horror film on show. You wouldnt want to see that.W: No, indeed. I wouldnt be able to sleep tonight if I saw it.M: Thats about all there is. Unless we change our minds and go downtown. W: No, we just cant afford it. There must be something else we havent seen.M: Here, look for it yourself. I cant find anything else.W: Look at this!M: What?W: In the television schedule, theres a baseball game on television tonight.M: I wasnt checking TV programs. I was looking at the movie ads. W: I know, but I just happened to notice it. The game is between New York and Boston.M: That ought to be good. I wouldnt mind watching that.W: OK. Lets stay home. We can go to see a movie Friday.Conversation 2M: I have been studying too much and need a change. So Ive just made plans to go away during January break.W: Really? Where are you going?M: Im planning to visit New Mexico.W: My sister and I vacationed there last year and we had a great time.M: Did you get into Albuquerque?W: Sure. We were skiing there.M: Is it far form the mountains?W: Not at all. You see, even though Albuquerque is on a high plateau, there are even higher mountains near it. Just half an hour away from the city there are snow-covered slopes. M: Well. As the mountains are just thirty minutes away. I guess I should take my ice skates and my skis.W: Definitely.M: I heard that the weather there is great. W: It is. No humidity, moderate temperatures, but you do need to be careful about the high altitude.M: What should I do about that?W: Oh, just take it easy for a few days. Dont go hiking up the mountains or exercise too vigorously. Just do everything gradually. M: Im sure I will be fine. And I will let you know all about my trip when I come back.plateau高原,高地Conversation 3M: Hi, Lynn. I saw you at registration yesterday.W: Yeah. I waited an hour to sign up for a distance-learning course.M: Distance learning? Never heard of it.W: Well, its a new experimental course this semester. Its only open to psychology majors. I registered for Child Psychology. All I am going to do is watching a twelve-week series of televised lessons. The department shows them several different times a day and in several different locations.M: Dont you ever have to meet with your professor?W: Yeah. After each part of the series, I have to talk to her and the other students on the phone, you know, about our ideas. Then we will meet on campus three times for reviews and exams.M: It sounds pretty non-traditional to me. But I guess it makes sense, considering how many students have jobs. It must really help with their schedules.W: You know, 80% of all psychology majors were employed. Thats why they came up with the program.M: The only thing is: doesnt it seem impersonal though? I mean, I miss having class discussions and hearing what other people think.W: Well, I guess thats why phone contacts are important. Anyway, its an experiment. Maybe I will end up hating it.M: Maybe. But I will be curious to see how it works up.Section B passagesPassage 1There are many islands in the sea. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “Coral Islands”.

In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals m
