Do you know where it is?M:

5、Ah ha.

Thank you very much for all your help.W: Youre welcome. I hope youll enjoy the trips. test1_section2Good afternoo

12、n everybody and welcome to Riverside Industrial Village. To start your visit, Im just going to give you a brief account of the history of the museum before letting you roam about on your own. I wont keep you long. OK?Now from where were standing youve got a good view of the river over there. And it

13、was because of this fast flowing water that this site was a natural place for manufacturing works. The water and the availability of raw materials in the area, like minerals and iron ore, and also the abundance of local fuels, like coal and firewood, all made this site suitable for industry from a v

14、ery early time.Water was the main source of power for the early industries and some of the water wells were first established in the twelfth century, would you believe? At that time, local craftsmen first built an iron forge just behind the village here on the bank near the river. By the seventeenth

15、 and eighteenth centuries, the regions rivers supported more than 160 water mills and many of these continued to operate well into the nineteenth century. But then the steam engine was invented and then the railways came and the centres of industry were able to move away from the rivers and the coun

16、tryside and into the towns. So industrial villages like this one became very rare.So thats the history for you. If youd like any more information, you can ask me some questions, or you can read further in our excellent guidebook.Now Im going to give you a plan of the site and Id just like to point o

17、ut where everything is and then you can take a look at everything for yourself. Ive already pointed out the river, which is on the left. And of course running along the bottom is Woodside Road. Got it? Ok, now, we are standing at the entrance. See at the bottom, and immediately to our right is the t

18、icket office. You wont need that because youve got your group booking, but just pass it are the toilets, always could to know where they are. In front of us is the car park as you can see. And to the left by the entry gate is the gift shop that is where you can get copies of the guide like this one

19、here. Now beyond the car park, all the buildings are arranged in a half circle with a yard in the middle. The big stone building at the top is the m The lower buildings you can see on the left are the cottages. These were built for the works towards the end of the eighteenth century and they are sti

20、ll furnished from that period so you can get a good idea of ordinary people living conditions. Across the yard from them, you can see the Stables where the horses were kept for transporting the products. And the separate building in front of them is the Works Office and that still has some of the ol

21、d accounts on display. Right. If any one wants a guided tour, then I am starting at the engine room. If youd like to, come along this way please, ladies and gentlemen. test1_section3W: Excuse me, Dr. Johnson. May I speak to you for a minute?M: Sure. Come in.W: Im Melanie Griffin. Im taking your cour

22、se in population studies.M: Right, so, well, Melanie, how can I help you?W: Im having a bit trouble with the second assignment and its due in 12 days.M: Whats the sort of trouble are you having? Is the assignment question a problem?W: Well, thats part of the problem. Im also having been having troub

23、le getting hold of the books. Ive been to the library several times and all the books were out.M: It sounds like you should start borrowing the books a bit earlier.W: Well I have really a big assignment due for another course and I have been spending all my time on that and I thoughtM: And you might

24、 get an extension of time to finish your assignment for me?W: If thats possible. But I dont knowM: Well. Yes its possible. But extensions are normally given only for medical or compassionate reasons. Otherwise, thats really a question of organizing your study and we dont like giving an extension to

25、a student who simply didnt plan the work properly. What did you get for your first assignment?W: I got 87 percent.M: Umm. Yes, you did very well indeed. So obviously you can produce good work.W: I dont think I need too much extra time, as long as I can get hold of some important references.M: Well,

26、since you did so well in your first assignment, Im prepared to give you an extra two weeks for this one. So, that will mean you need to submit it about a month from now.W: Oh thank you.M: Now what about the reading materials? So you check out the journal articles in the list?W: Oh, no, not yet. Ther

27、e were about twenty of them I wasnt sure which ones should be most useful or all important.M: Well theyre all useful, but I dont expect anyone to read them all because a number of them deal with the same issues. And let me give you some suggestions. The article by Anderson and Hawker is really worth

28、 reading.W: Right. Ill read that one.M: You should also read the article by Jackson but just look at the part at the research methodology how they did it.W: Ok, Jackson, I got that.M: And if you have time the one by Roberts says very a lot of things although its not essential.W: Ok. If its useful Il

29、l try with that one.M: Now the one by Morris. I wouldnt borrow with that at this stage if I were you.W: Ok, I wont borrow with Morris. Oh now, someone told me that the article by Cooper is important.M: Oh yes, but just look at the last part where it discusses the research result.W: And last theres F

30、orster. I cant think why I included that one. Thats not bad and could be some help but not that much.M: Now lets deal with the assignment question. Whats the problem there?W: Its graph from page 2.M: It seems to be the problem is just about the bar graph showing reasons why peoples change where they

31、 live.W: Well Ive got a photocopy but the reasons at the bottom are missing.M: Ok. Look at the first bar on the graph. Now that indicates the number of people who move because they want more space.W: Oh, I see. Bar one. Ok, now whats about the next bar?M: Bar two is to do with the people who live ne

32、arby disturbing them so they chose to move away to somewhere quieter. Now lets look at bar No.3. Another reason people change their places of living is because they want to be closer to the city.W: Ok. Proximity to the city is the issue.M: Now bar No.4 refers to problems when the owner of the proper

33、ty wont help fix things go wrong. In other words, the owner is not helpful and so the tenants move out.W: Ok, now what about Bar 5.M: Bar 5 is about those people who move because they need a bus or train to get among the city or to go to work.W: Ok, and Bar 6?M: Bar No.6 is mid-resting. That reason

34、was given quite a lot. People move in because they wanted to be in a more attractive neighbourhood.W: Oh yes. Thank you very much. test1_section4Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Ive been asked today to talk to you about the urban landscape. Therere two major areas that Ill focus on in my talk: how ve

35、getation can have a significant effect on urban climate and how we can better plan our cities using trees to provide a more comfortable environment for us to living.Trees can have a significant impact on our cities. They can make our cities, as a whole, a bit less windy or a bit more windy as that w

36、hat you want. They can make it a bit cooler if its a hot summer day in an Australian city or they can make it a bit more humid if its a dry inland city. On the local scale, that is a particular area within the city, trees can make the local area more shady, cooler, more humid and much less windy. In

37、 fact, trees and plantings of various of kinds can be used to make city streets actually less dangerous in particular areas. How do trees do that, youll ask? Well, the main difference between a tree and a building is a tree has got an internal mechanism to keep the temperature regulated. It evaporat

38、es water through its leaves. And that means the temperature of the leaves is never very far from our own body temperature. The temperature of a building surface on a hot sunny day can easily be 20 degrees more than our temperature. Trees, on the other hand, remain cooler than buildings because they

39、sweat. This means they can humidify the air and cool it, a property which can be exploited to improve the local climate.Trees can also help break the force of the winds. The reason that high buildings may keep windier at ground level is that as the wind goes higher and higher, it goes faster and fas

40、ter. When the wind hits the building, it has to go somewhere. Some of it goes over the top and some goes around the sides of the building, forcing those high level winds down to ground level. That doesnt happen when you have trees. Trees filter the wind and considerably reduce it preventing those ve

41、ry large strong gusts that you so often find around tall buildings. Another problem in built-up areas is the traffic noise is intensified by tall buildings. By planting a belt of trees at the side of the road, you can make things a little quieter but much of the vehicle noise still goes through the

42、trees. Trees can also help reduce the amount of noise in the surroundings, although the effect is not as large as people would like to think. Low frequency noise, in particular, just goes through the trees as that they arent there. Although trees can significantly improve the local climate, they do,

43、 however, take up a lot of space. Therere route system to consider and branches blocking the windows and so on. It may therefore be difficult to fit trees into the local landscape. Theres not a great deal you can do if you have what we call a street canyon, a whole set of high-rises enclosed in the

44、narrow street. Trees need water to grow. They also need some sunlight to grow and you need room to put them. If you have the chance of knocking buildings down and replacing them, then suddenly you can start looking at different ways to design the streets and to introduce.(End) test2_section1W: Oh, P

45、eter, there youre. Its been ages. What catches so long?M: Sorry, Im so late, Sally. Have you been waiting long? W: Half an hour. But it doesnt matter. I had a coffee and I had been reading this guidebook for tourists. Sit down. M: Umm.W: You look very hot and tired. What would you like to drink?M: I

46、d love really chill mineral water or something. Would you have another coffee?W: Yes, Ill. The waitress will be back in a moment. Why are you so late. Did something happen?M: Yes. You know I went to the bank to cash something travellers cheques. Well the exchange rate was looking very healthy but I

47、went to the teller they told me that the computer system was temporarily down. So they couldnt do any transactions. They said the problem would be fixed in a few minutes so I waited. And then I started talking to another guy in the bank and I forgot the time.W: Oh, really? Someone you met in the ban

48、k. Does he work there?M: No, he was a tourist, from NY. His name is Henry. And hes been here for a week, but hes moving on to Germany tomorrow. Hes an architect and hes spending four weeks travelling along Europe. W: Just like us?M: Yes, just like us. He told me the names of some places where we sho

49、uld eat. Great food and not too expensive, he said. Oh, and he also gave me this map of the buses to me, he said he didnt need it anymore.W: Thats useful. But hes moving on tomorrow. Yes, heres the waitress. Lets order. Do you want something to eat? Or should we just have a drink?M: Well. Im hungry. And weve got a lot of sightseeing to do. So lets
