As we know, students in colleges or universities are expected to master some academic materials that are fairly difficult to understand. Howev
17、er, some of them find it hard to learn some complex, abstract or unfamiliar subject matter. As a result, a central problem in higher education is how to internalize academic knowledge that is, how to make knowledge our own. In order to do so, we must convert knowledge from being “other peoples knowl
18、edge“ to being part of our own ways of thinking. Then, how are we going to do it? And what are the means available to help us in the process of learning? There are four key study activities currently used in higher education to encourage students to internalize knowledge. They are the ones we are fa
19、miliar with: writing essays, going to classes and seminars, having individual tutorials, and listening to lectures. These four activities are long-established features of our higher education, and they are almost as important now as they were a hundred years ago. Now lets look at the features of the
20、m one by one. First, essay writing. (1)The central focus of university work, esp. in the humanities, for example in literature, history or politics, is on students producing regular essays or papers which summarize and express their personal understanding of a topic. Then, what is good about essay w
21、riting? (2)Firstly, writing essays forces you to select what you find interesting in books and journals, and to express your understanding in a coherent form. (3)Individual written work also provides teachers with the best available guide to how you are progressing in a subject, and allows them to g
22、ive advice on how to develop your strengths or counteract your weaknesses. Lastly, of course, individual written work is still the basis of almost all assessment in higher education. (4)Written assignments familiarize you with the form that your exams or coursework papers will take. The second key a
23、ctivity in colleges and universities is seminars and class discussions. Their role is to help you to internalize academic knowledge by providing specialized contexts, so that you can talk about such difficult problems as the trade-off between inflation and unemployment in economic policy, or the use
24、 of metaphors in Shakespeares plays. (5)Talking is a more interactive activity than written work. In a conversation you know immediately how effectively you are expressing a viewpoint, and can modify what you are saying in response to peoples reactions. (6)In addition, a normal programme of between
25、ten and twenty-five classes will cover far more topics in one subject than you can hope to manage in your written work. Participating in flexible conversations across this range of issues also allows you to practise using the broader knowledge gained from other key activities such as lectures. Now,
26、lets take a look at another activity: individual tutorials. Discussions between a teacher and one or two students are used in many colleges as a substitute for, or a supplement to, group discussions in classes, like those mentioned before. (7)Tutorials can range from direct explanations by the teach
27、er in a subject, to flexible conversational sessions which at their best are very effective in stimulating students mastery of a body of knowledge. (8)The one-to-one quality of the personal interaction is very important in stimulating acceptance of ideas and producing fruitful interaction. In order
28、to make individual tutorials really work, students should make good preparation beforehand, and during the tutorial, they should also ask questions to keep the ball rolling rather, than, let teachers “talk in a Vacuum“. The last activity is lectures. (9)As we all know, lectures play a large part in
29、most students timetables and occupy a considerable proportion of teachers efforts. (10)However, the major difficulty with lectures is that they are not interactive like discussions or tutorials. The lecturer normally talks for the whole time with minimal feed-back from questions. (11)Besides, making
30、 notes in lectures while concentrating on the argument being developed is often difficult to some students, esp. when the argument is very complicated. However, having said that, lectures are clearly valuable in several specific ways. (12)They can provide a useful overview an area map, as it were, t
31、o familiarize you with the main landscape features to be encountered during a course. (13)Lecturers typically give much more accessible descriptions of theoretical perspectives in their oral presentations than can be found in the academic literature. (14)Whenever there is a rapid pace of progress in
32、 theory or practice, lectures play an indispensable part in letting students know the development immediately, usually several years before the new material is included in textbooks. (15)Lastly, lectures are often very useful in allowing you to see directly how exponents of different views build up
33、their arguments. The cues provided by seeing someone talking in person may seem “irrelevant“, but these cues are important aids to understanding the subject better later. So far, weve discussed four study activities and their respective features and roles in higher education. Of course, study activi
34、ties are not limited to just these four types; there are other activities that are equally important, such as general reading, project learning, etc. Well cover them during our next lecture. 【知识模块】 听力 1 【正确答案】 literature/history/politics 【试题解析】 在谈到论文写作时，原文指出 “ 大学教学工作。特别是在人文学科例如文学、历史或政治学科方面，重点在于 ” ，这
35、里的三个例子填入一个即可。 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 select/choose 【试题解析】 本空考查论文写作的第一个益处。原文的表述是首先可以迫使选择自己感兴趣的书本和期刊内容，因此可以填入 select或其近义词 choose等。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【正确答案】 advice/ suggestion 【试题解析】 原文指出，论文写作可让教师了解学生的进步，并在怎样发扬优点、克服缺点方面给学生提出建议，故此处应该填入 advice suggestion。与 offer搭配的名词，如 help，此处也说得通。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【正确答案】 familiarizing
36、 【试题解析】 本空考查论文写作的最后一个益处。原文提到，论文写作可以使学生熟悉考试或者作业的模式。参照与该空并列的其余两项益处的形式 (均为动名词形式 )，故 familiarize也应用其动名词形式，填入 familiarizing。 【知识模块】 听力 5 【正确答案】 Interaction 【试题解析】 原文在谈到课堂讨论的优点时提到：课堂讨论比写作训练更具有交互性 (interactive)。故此处应该填入 Interaction。有的考生可能会填 Talking，Discussion，但比较起来， Interaction更为恰当。 【知识模块】 听力 6 【正确答案】 essay
37、s /assignments /writing 【试题解析】 原文提到在同样的时间里，课堂讨论比写作覆盖更多 的话题。此空把对话与写作进行比较，故此处可填入 essays或 assignments。 than后接比较对象。此处若未听写出来，可根据前文判断，这里是把课堂讨论与写作对比，填入writing也可。 【知识模块】 听力 7 【正确答案】 explanation 【试题解析】 原文在提到个别指导这项活动时指出：个别指导可包括从教师的直接解释 (explanation)到灵活的会议讨论等形式，因此，这里应填入 explanation。fromto 结构中，两个宾语成分应有一定关联。这里与
38、conversation“对话 ”相对的，很可能就是 “独白 ”，但又属于 “个别辅导 ”，课上老师的 “独白 ”，用explanation最合适。 【知识模块】 听力 8 【正确答案】 ideas 【试题解析】 谈及个别指导的益处时，录音提到，在促进观念接受和产生有效互动中 (in stimulating acceptance of ideas and producing fruitful interaction)，一对一的人际互动尤其重要，填入 ideas。 【知识模块】 听力 9 【正确答案】 frequently/commonly/widely 【试题解析】 在谈到最后一项活动 lec
39、ture“授课 ”时，原文指出，授课占据了学生大量时间，同时也占据了教师相当大的精力。因此 lecture是学习中使用最frequently或 commonly的方式。此处用 widely也可。 【知识模块】 听力 10 【正确答案】 interactive 【试题解析】 原文提到，演讲这种授课方式的主要困难在于不能像 discussion和tutorial一样有互动性。故此空应填 interactive。必须听到原文中 的 interactive才能准确答题。作者讨论 n种不同授课方式时，都提到了 “互动性 ”。 【知识模块】 听力 11 【正确答案】 making notes/note-t
40、aking 【试题解析】 关于演讲这种授课方式，录音列举了两个缺点，此处为第二处。原文提到，集中于听取论证过程的同时还要做笔记，对于一些学生来说比较困难，也即是说对于做笔记要求较高。可填入录音原词 making notes或同义表达 note-taking。 【知识模块】 听力 12 【正确答案】 overview/outline/summary/idea 【试题解析】 lecture的第一个优点就是能对讨论的话题予以概述 (overview)，因此此空填 overview。此题根据空前的形容词 general可知空白处应填入名词性实词。如没有笔记，从后面提到的 main landscape可
41、推断出应填 overview。更泛一点，可填入 idea。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 accessible/understood 【试题解析】 原文提到， lecture的第二个优点是对理论观点的阐述比学术文献更加 易于理解，因此可填入录音原词 accessible或其近义词 understood。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 latest/recent/current 【试题解析】 lecture的另一个优点是让学生了解在理论或实践方面的最新进展。这里可填入 current或者 latest或者 recent。原文中 immediately和试题中的updating
42、为考生提供了填词的关键信息。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 viewpoints/theories/opinions/argument 【试题解析】 lecture的最后一个优点是让学生了解不同观点的支持者如何确立自己的论点。因此，这里可填入 viewpoints。要点提示词 lastly后的信息是常考之处，笔记中不可忽视。 【知识模块】 听力 SECTION B INTERVIEW In this section you will hear ONE interview.
