P5 填空题
变质岩是经由高温与高压作用发生质变而形成的岩石。沉积岩则是各类物质层层堆积，历经漫长岁月后最终被挤压、熔合在一起，固结而成的坚硬岩石。这些地质构造内部的地层留存着古时环境状况的历史印记，能够展现气候、海平面以及生物演化发生的种种变迁。地质学家通过对岩石展开分析，便可还原远古时期发生的各类地质事件。
P6 学术阅读
校企合作模式20世纪初起源于美国，将课堂学习与带薪在岗实习结合，如今在企业合作紧密的大学十分普及;支持者认为它能培养学生职业素养、提升毕业后薪资与就业竞争力，而批评者指出它会打乱学业节奏、拉长学制，对无法搬迁或不能中断校内打工的学生不利，但它仍是应用型专业十分重要的理论和实践结合的好模式。
P7 学术阅读
偏振光的特点是光波在单一平面振动，除了墨镜里减少水面和路面反光这种常见用途，它在科研领域也很有价值。研究晶体时，偏振光能揭示普通光看不到的内部结构信息，因为它与晶格中不同光学路径的相互作用方式不一样。生物学上，它还能帮科学家观察细胞和组织的微观细节，比如检测脑组织中的淀粉样斑块，这对研究阿尔茨海默病很有帮助。不过飞行员会避免用偏光镜片，因为它可能干扰仪表盘读数的清晰度。所以偏振光星然有用，但用之前得考虑具体场合。
02听力部分
Talk 1
作曲家 John Cage 在 1940 年发明prepared piano的缘由、即兴寻找琴弦间放置物件的创作过程，其作品融合西方音色与印尼 gamelan 打击乐，灵感源自印度八大情感理论，也让他在乐坛声名鹊起。
Talk 2
地理信息系统 GIS vs GPS
GIS如何帮助做出明智决策
为何提手机
展示公司使用位置数据的不同方式
GIS能对农场预测什么
Talk 3
白蚁建筑 Termite Architects
丘内温度如何调节（利用温差）
蚁丘面临的挑战
对人类建筑的启示（为节能建筑提供借鉴）
Talk 4
建筑（低碳建材）
环保趋势催生了像能吸碳的混凝土之类的新材料，古老的土坯砖技术就在重新流行。它用黏土、沙子和水混合晾晒成型，省去了高能耗的烧制过程，而且土坯砖本身热容量大，白天吸热晚上放热，能自然调节室内温度，减少空调依赖特别适合温差大的地区。再加上原料可以就地取材，既降低了运输成本，也减少了相关排放，所以这种传统做法既实用又环保
Talk 5
二极管
发光二极管依托半导体实现电能到光能的直接转化，革新了传统照明技术。它相较白炽灯大幅节能、使用寿命大幅延长，可节约用电、降低碳排放。凭借小巧的尺寸，它可适配多种场景，应用场景十分广泛。目前该技术还在向人居照明、LiFi光通信等多元创新领域持续拓展。
Talk 6
肠道微生物 Gut Microbiome
讲解肠道微生物群由海量微生物构成，不仅守护人体免疫，还可合成血清素等物质影响情绪。肠脑联系紧密，未来或可通过定制益生菌疗法，治疗免疫与心理疾病，革新个性化医疗。

学术讨论
第一篇
Dr. Gupta
We've been discussing strategic growth in corporations. Businesses may often choose to expand globally or prefer instead to deepen local roots. Global growth offers access to new markets and new resources, but can dilute brand identity and strain resources. A local focus, on the other hand, builds community trust, adapts to regional needs, and strengthens customer loyalty. Do you think corporations should concentrate more on expansion or local business? Why?
Claire
I think global expansion is vital for businesses. It unlocks opportunities, like broader talent pools and increased innovation. Most companies that I know seek to stay competitive in a connected world. While local focus has its strengths, going global builds resilience and relevance across cultures and economies. Why limit potential to one region when the world is within reach?
Paul
Focusing on local business practices supports regional economies and allows companies to tailor offerings to local needs. It builds trust, loyalty, and authenticity—qualities that global strategies can struggle to replicate. My favorite businesses are the family-owned ones downtown. Sometimes, deep roots in one place can create more lasting impact than a broad reach across many.
第二篇
Dr. Gupta
Digital communication includes texting, video chats, and social media. Some people say these tools help relationships by allowing instant messages, sharing photos, and staying in touch over long distances. Others believe they cause problems-like misunderstandings and less eye contact-because people rely less on talking in person. Think about how you communicate with family, friends, or classmates. Do you believe digital communication makes your relationships stronger or weaker?
Paul
I think digital communication strengthens relationships. It allows people to maintain bonds with family members who live far away. For example, my brothers work in another country, but we can stay in touch and remain a loving family thanks to these online tools.
Claire
I think digital communication can weaken relationships. People may text instead of talking face-to-face, which makes conversations shorter and less personal. It's easy to miss feelings or misunderstand someone's meaning. When people rely too much on phones or apps, they may feel distant from others even when they're constantly connected. Real conversations matter more.
第三篇
Dr. Gupta
We often hear about environmental problems like air pollution from factories, plastic waste in oceans and forests being cut down for agriculture. People are trying different solutions: switching from coal and oil to solar and wind energy; teaching communities about recycling and conservation; developing new technologies to clean contaminated water and soil. Which of these approaches do you think would produce the fastest, most measurable improvements to environmental problems? Why?
第四篇
Some sociologists argue that education is the key to improving social mobility, while others believe that economic policies and government intervention play a larger role. What do you think is the most effective way to enhance social mobility? Why?
第五篇
Dr. Gupta
We've been discussing the impact of remote work on productivity and employee well-being. Remote work can have many significant advantages, but it may also lead to some unintended problems. Do you think remote work has a positive or negative impact?
Paul
Remote work can have a positive impact on both productivity and employees well-being. The flexibility helps employees manage their work-life balance better and the reduction in commuting time can lead to increase productivity and less stress.
Claire
While remote work offers flexibility, it can negatively impact employees. Isolation and lack of face-to-face interaction can hinder teamwork and lead to feelings of loneliness, affecting overall job performance.
