1. 听写包答案：

Listen to a conversation between a student and an employee in the university library.

Librarian: Ready to check out?
Student: Just about.
Before I do though, this book on early navigation...
I have been using this book quite a bit for a research project.
And I would like to own it actually.
And well...it's an old book, and there were two copies on the shelf just now, so I was wondering if I could buy one.

I was talking to this guy the other day, and he said the library sold books on occasion.

Is that right?
Librarian: He is probably talking about our annual book sale.
We have one every spring.
Student: OK. How do you decide which books to sell?
Are they duplicates?
Librarian: A lot are duplicates.
If we have more than one copy of a title and it hasn't been checked out in a few years, in that case it might end up at the sale.
Student: I've actually tried to find this book online but no luck so far.
I was really hoping to buy it.
Librarian: Well, that particular book…well, it probably won't be up for sale this year.
Most books in the sale come from off-site storage.
Student: Off-site storage?
Librarian: That's where we keep books that haven't been used for several years.
They are still in the catalog, which means they can be checked out if you fill out a form.
It takes maybe a day or two to retrieve one of them.
Student: I see.
Librarian: And then before we decide to include a book in the sale, we review its circulation history again, which can take a while.
We've got a lot of books in storage.
Student: So it's basically the unpopular books that get put up for sale then?
Librarian: Well, that...plus the main thing is to make sure students have access to the information in the books.
A lot of them are available in electronic format these days, even the really old ones.
You know, they have been preserved that way.
Student: So most of the books for sale are older books.
Librarian: Well, we get book donations too.
And lots of those are new.
Again, a librarian reviews them and decides whether to catalogue them or put them up for sale.
Student: Is this sale open to the public?
Librarian: On the second day.
It's a two-day sale.
The first day is for students, faculty and staff though, which is great.
We usually need about twenty volunteers for the sale.
And well, if you volunteer, you get first shot at everything in advance.
Student: Really? What do volunteers have to do?
Librarian: You help sort the books and set up the tables.
But keep in mind those positions fill up quickly.
Now, about this particular book, it wouldn't hurt to send a formal request to the collection department.
They might be able to let you know if it would be up for sale.
Student: I'll do that. Thanks.
What is the conversation mainly about?
What does the woman say about books in storage?
What are the criteria for deciding whether a book is put up for sale?
Why does the woman mention that volunteer positions fill up quickly?
What advice does the woman give to the man about the book he wants to buy?
听一段学生和大学图书馆职员的对话。
职员：准备好借书了吗？
学生：马上就好。
在我借出之前，这本关于早期导航的书……
我用这本书用了挺长时间，为了做一个调研项目。
我想拥有它。
而且……这本书挺旧了，而且现在书架上有两本，所以我想知道我能买下这本吗？

我前几天问过一个人，他说图书馆偶尔才卖书。
是这样吗？
职员：他说的应该是我们的年度卖书活动。
我们每年春天都会办一次。
学生：好吧。你们怎么决定卖哪些书呢？
是印刷本吗？
职员：很多都是印刷副本。
如果我们同一本书有超过一本库存，而且好几年都没人借了，很可能它也会被卖掉。
学生：事实上我之前试过在网上找这本书，但是还没找到。
我很想买下它。
职员：这一本书……很可能今年的卖书活动里不会有。
卖的书里很多都存在异地。
学生：存在异地？
职员：我们把好几年都没用过的书存在那儿。
这些书还在目录里，也就是说，只要你填个表，也还是能借这些书的。
可能要一两天时间才能把书取回来这儿。
学生：我懂了。
职员：在我们决定要卖这本书之前，我们会回看它的流通历史记录，这也要花些时间。
我们库存里有很多书。
学生：所以基本上就是冷门的书会被放出销售？
职员：还有主要的一点是要确保学生都能获取书中的信息。
很多书现在都有电子版了，哪怕是那些非常古老的书。
你知道的，它们一直都是这样保存的。
学生：那就是说大部分卖的书都是比较旧的书。
职员：我们也会收到捐书。
大部分都是新书。
同样地，图书管理员也会检查一遍，决定要把这些书归入目录还是卖掉。
学生：这个卖书活动是面向公众的吗？
职员：第二天是。
这个销售活动有两天。
但是第一天是面对学生和教职工的，这很好。
我们的销售活动通常需要20个志愿者。
如果你成为志愿者，你就能提前看到所有的书了。
学生：真的？志愿者都要做什么？
职员：你们要帮忙把书分类，布置好桌子。
但要记住，名额很快就会满了。
关于这一本书，你不如发一封正式请求给收藏部门。
他们也许会让你知道这本书卖不卖。
学生：我会的。谢谢。
这段对话主要讲了什么？
关于储存的书，那位女士都说了些什么？
评定是否卖一本书的标准是什么？
为什么那位女士要提到志愿者名额很快会满？
对于那位男士想买的书，那位女士给他提了什么建议？

2.阅读包答案：

斯特雷特福特公司总裁乔治·弗里德曼说,他将网络世界看成是一个收集情报和发送情报的工具，两者之间还能相互强化，是间谍头子梦寐以求的场所。

3.写作包答案：

The method of scientific investigation is nothing butthe expression of the necessary mode of working ofthe human mind: it is simply the mode by which allphenomena are reasoned about and given preciseand exact explanations. The difference between theoperations and methods of a baker weighing out hisgoods in common scales, and the operations of a chemist by means of his balance is not thatthe scales in the one case, and the balance in the other, differ in the principles of theirconstruction or manner of working; but that the latter is a much finer apparatus and ofcourse much more accurate in its measurement than the former.
