听力原文：W: Hey, Joe. What's all this talk about a benefit walkathon this weekend？

M: Don't you know？ Most of the residents in Parker Hall are going to try to walk the seven miles from the Engineering Library, across campus, and down to City Hall in an effort to raise money for the new children's hospital.

W: Sounds like a good ideal But I don't understand where the money comes from.

M: Well, a few days before the walkathon, each participant goes around asking people to pledge a certain amount of money for each mile that he or she expects to walk in the event. Then after the walkathon is over, the participants go back to those same people, collect the money pledged, and send it to the hospital.

W: So you mean if you pledge, say, a dollar a mile and you walk five miles, then you get five dollars.

M: That's fight. Of course most of my friends aren't such big spenders. The biggest pledge I've gotten so far is 25 cents a mile.

W: And how many people have made pledges for you？

M: Eleven so far. Say, how about making it a dozen？

W: Sure. If you'll do the same for me. The walkathon sounds like the perfect opportunity for me to break in my new pair of sports shoes.

(23)

A．Hospital employees.

B．City Hall officials.

C．Packer Hall residents.

D．The engineering students.

听力原文：M: Hey, Michelle. Look what I just found. Right here in the sand.

W: A piece of wood？ Oh. Driftwood. Interesting shape... Almost like some sort of modern sculpture.

M: Yeah. And feel how smooth it is.

W: Hmm, Must've been in the water a long time. It could've been drifting in the ocean currents for months, or even years.

M: In the currents？ Doesn't the wind just blow things around out there？

W: Well, sure. But the currents are always moving, too. Almost like rivers, but underwater rivers, flowing through the ocean.

M: So how do they find out where these currents go？ Stick a message in a bottle and throw it in the water？

W: Don't laugh. In fact, I was reading in a science magazine that oceanographers have released huge numbers of bottles into the ocean over the years. They wanted to map out where the currents would carry them.

M: Say, I'll bet-after they found out where all those bottles ended up-they could enter all that data in to a computer and make a pretty detailed model to... to show where the currents go.

W: In fact, they did. And they also found a neat way to test that model. There was a freighter carrying sneakers from a factory in Asia. It was caught in a big storm and thousands of pairs of sneakers got dumped in the Pacific Ocean.

M: Really？ What a waste!

W: Yeah. Turns out, though, that hundreds of these shoes started washing up on beaches somewhere near Seattle, just about where the computer models had predicted the currents would carry them.

M: Gee. You mean all that stuff I find on the beaches might be part of some big scientific experiment？ I thought it was all just trash!

(20)

A．Collecting objects on the beach.

B．Creating computer models.

C．Mapping currents in the ocean.

听力原文：W: Hey, Steve, got any plans for tonight？

M: Hi! Jane. No, I don't think se. Why？ Got any suggestions？

W: In fact, I do. I just got two tickets to the opening of the exhibition of the reprints by Julia Margaret Cameron. I would have mentioned it earlier, but I was on the waiting list for these tickets and I wasn't sure if I'd even get them.

M: An exhibition, huh？ I like such things. But I don't know who Julia...

W: Margaret Cameron! She was a photographer in the 1800s. She is interesting to art historians in general and students of photography in particular because she.., how should I say, change the aesthetics for photography.

M: What do you mean？

W: Well, her specialty was portraits and instead of just making a factual record of details like most photographers did, you know, just capturing what a person looks like in a dispassionate though: of way. She, like a portrait painter, was interested in capturing her subject's Personality.

M: Interesting! How did she do that？

W: She invented a number of techniques that affect the picture. Like one of those things she did was blur images slightly by using a soft focus on the subject. That's pretty common now.

M: Yeah, seems that way. Who did she photograph？

W: Famous people of her day, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Charles Darwin..., I don't know who else. We'll see at the exhibition.

M: You really pick my curiosity. I am going to enjoy this.

(23)

A．An exhibition of Julia Margaret Cameron.

B．Portrait photography.
