1. 听写包答案:
OK, Stewart. We need to start planning our paper on public libraries.
Have you thought of an angle yet?
Well, there's so much we could look into.
How libraries have changed over the centuries, for instance, or how different countries organise them.
What do you think, Trudie?
Maybe we should concentrate on this country, and try and relate the changes in libraries to external developments,
like the fact that far more people can read than a century ago, and that the local population may speak lots of different languages.
We could include something about changes in the source of funding, too.
Yes, but remember we're only supposed to write a short paper, so it's probably best if we don't go into funding in any detail.
Right. Well, shall we just brainstorm a few ideas, to get started?
OK. We obviously need to look at the impact of new technology, particularly the internet.
Now that lots of books have been digitalised, people can access them from their own computers at home.
And if everyone did that, libraries would be obsolete.
Yes. But the digitalised books that are available online for free are mostly out of copyright, aren't they?
And copyright in this country lasts for 70 years after the author dies.
So you won't find the latest best-seller or up-to-date information. That's an important point.
Anyway, I find it hard to concentrate when I'm reading a long text on a screen.
I'd much rather read a physical book. And it takes longer to read on a screen.
Oh, I prefer it. I suppose it's just a personal preference.
Mm. I expect that libraries will go on evolving in the next few years.
Some have already become centres where community activities take place, like local clubs meeting there.
I think that'll become even more common.
I'd like to think so, and that they're still be serving their traditional function, but I'm not so sure.
There are financial implications, after all.
What I'm afraid will happen is that books and magazines will all disappear, and there'll just be rows and rows of computers.
They won't look anything like the libraries we're used to.
Well, we'll see.
Stewart,我们得开始计划关于公共图书馆的论文了。
你想到从哪个角度写了吗?
嗯,有很多可以着手的东西。
比如图书馆在过去的世纪里是如何变迁的,或者各个国家对它们的组织有何不同。
你觉得怎么样,Trudie.
也许我们应该聚焦于这个国家,试着把图书馆的变化与外部发展情况联系起来,
比如相较于100年前现在有更多的人识字和当地的人可能说着很多不同语言的事实。
我们也可以纳入一些有关图书馆资金来源变化的东西。
是的,但要记住我们要写的是一篇短论文,所以在资金方面最好不要有任何详述。
嗯。我们现在开始对几个想法头脑风暴一下就开始好吗?
好的,很明显我们需要考虑新技术,尤其是互联网的影响。
因为很多书籍都已经数字化了,所以人们在家通过自己的电脑就能读到它们。
如果所有人都那样,图书馆就要被淘汰了。
是的。但那些可以在网上找到的数字化的书大多都是版权过期了的,是不是?
在这个国家,版权在作者死后可持续70年。
所以,你不会在网上找到最近的畅销书或者最新的信息。这一点很重要。
不管怎么样,我发现我在屏幕上看一段长文本时很难集中注意力。
我宁愿看实体书,而且在屏幕上看书要花更长时间。
啊,我更喜欢在屏幕上看书,我想这只是个人偏好问题。
嗯,我预计在接下来的几年里图书馆将继续演变。
有的图书馆已经变成开展社区活动的中心了,就像是本地社团聚会一样。
我认为这会变得更加普遍。
我认同,同时它们仍然会发挥自己的传统功能,不过我不是很确定。
毕竟还有财务方面的考量。
我害怕发生的是书籍和杂志都会消失,只剩下一排排的电脑。
那样的话它们就丝毫不像我们所习惯的图书馆了。
嗯,我们再看看吧。
2.阅读包答案:
乔姆斯基的语法应该展示出独立于谱系或由谱系所生成的路径的语言变化模式,而格林伯格的普遍性理论则预测出特定词序关系间有着较强的依附关系。
3.写作包答案:
Think yourself back into happiness and it is ten to one you will find yourself in a sunny garden and not at some exciting public show.The first time you heard a willow-wren's song and saw it lifting its beak to sing in the shadow of the sycamore leaves seems an infintely more wonderful thing to look back on than a riot in the streets with bayonets drawn and policeman charging and broken-skulled civillians borne off to the hospital. |
