综合话题重点
重点1:

原因一是噪音影响在宿舍复习的人,
原因二是取消 校内公交车对要乘车的人很不方便。
对话中女生认为这两个理由都没有说服力。
首先要看书的人可以去图书馆看,不一定非要在宿舍,图书馆很安静。
其次学校很小,去哪里都可以步行,不行横穿学校只要 30 分钟,况且公交车只取消几个小时而已,no big deal

【Reasons】
1. Students can talk with a lower voice and whisper.
2. Occasionally, students need to make emergency calls.
Listening
The girl disagrees. It doesn’t work.
【Reasons】
1. The library should be quiet. If students talk with a lower voice or whisper, they cannot be heard, so they would have to talk loudly and make noise, which will cause the distractions to other students.
2. If students get emergency calls, they can go out to check messages. Normally, urgent calls will be delivered by messages.

重点5
Task 3:
Topic sentence:
The University is planning to install computers in every dorm building and woman in the conversation supports this plan.
Reading
First, the university believes that with computers available in every dorm building, students will be able to receive and send their assignments or emails to their professors more efficiently. But there’s a rule that each student could only use computers no more than 10mints, when someone else is waiting.
Listening
The woman totally agrees with this plan because firstly, sometimes she forgets to check directions online when she has already went out the dorm. So if there is a computer in the lobby, she doesn’t have to go back to the fourth floor. Secondly, limiting the using time will prevent students from typing their essays and occupying these computers for a long time.
Task 4:
Learn transfer
阅读部分:学习过程中,以前学习的东西对后来学习的东西的作用,分两种: a. Negative transfer. b. Positive transfer.
教授分别举例,Positive transfer. 举了教授自己的例子。小时候学习钢琴,不看琴键, 只看乐谱。后来到高中学习打字,只看屏幕,不看键盘。很 Helpful。 听力部分: Negative transfer 举了教授朋友的例子。以前是舞台剧演员,习惯了大声念台词,后来做 movie actor,不需要大声了,但还总是大声。此为 negative transfer.
Task 5:
Topic sentence
The woman and her club members were planning to go on an outdoor activity but that place was shut down at the last minute due to some emergencies and they already paid the bus fees which are non-refundable.

Preference
If I were her, I would choose the second solutions for two reasons. First, most of the members have already been to the waterfall, so it might be less interesting If they go there again.
What’s more, planning a new trip to the science museum will make people feel excited because the exhibitions there are frequently updated.
