听力原文：M: Have you settled in?

W: Yes, I feel myself quite at home now. I haven't got used to the food yet but I'm enjoying the life on campus.

M: Good. Now we'd better make sure you enjoy your studies. We offer a very wide range of options on the foundation course, as you know, but you can only take six courses. Do you know what you want to do yet?

W: Yes, more or less; but I'm not sure whether to do biological sciences or German.

M: Well, that's quite a difference. Let's see... you've selected to do: physical sciences, basic electronics, art and design, CAD... that's computer aided design and English.

W: Yes, five courses.

M: That's quite a range. Don't you want to do maths or computer program-lining, for example?

W: Well, I'm interested in electronics in computers especially in writing computer games. I'd like to produce educational software, educational games, eventually. I've taught myself a lot of programming and I was good at maths. I don't think I need either of them.

M: Then, why did you choose to do art and design?

W: Well, that will be good for my graphics. I need that to produce games...CAD, too. I've never done computer aided design before.

M: No...right...they've got some powerful packages in the computer graphics and CAD offices...you'll enjoy that. So...that leaves English. It's mostly English literature. I know your English is all right. But as a first year student, you'll have to take the Cambridge Proficiency Test.

W: All right.

听力原文：W: Alex, Ms. Rachel will be arriving in Beijing for the first time this morning. I'd like you to pick her up and help her get settled in.

M: Sure, Mrs. Zhang. Which hotel is she booked at?

W: Friendship Hotel, and everything has been arranged, under her name.

M: Shall I take one of the company cars?

W: No. Because we're negotiating such a large purchase with her, it's in our best interest to show hq around in style. We've rented a very luxurious car.

M: Good idea. I'd better be on my way.

W: Uh, Alex, do you have a jacket and tie at the office today?

M: Yes. Why do you ask?

W: I know it is very humid, and the dress code is pretty casual here. But I think it's important to look professional when a client is visiting.

M: I understand. I'll have my suit jacket and tie on when I meet Ms. Rachel.

W: Fine. And I think it would be proper if you leave your jacket on, unless Ms. Rachel takes hers off first, or mentions how hot it is.

M: I follow you. Then I can suggest that she take off her jacket, then follow suit.

W: Yes. It's important that we pay attention to the details.

M: Will she visit our office today?

W: She'll probably have jet lag today, so nothing's scheduled today.

M: I'll take her right to the hotel then, so she can get some shut-eye.

听力原文：W: Have you ever looked really closely at the snowflake?

M: Sure. But they usually melt too fast for me to get a close look. Why do you ask?

W: I'm just curious. I was reading an article about the formation of snowflakes and I realized that I had never paid much attention to them before.

M: Well, there's a big variety, isn't there?

W: Yeah. But they all have one of three basic forms, hexagonal columns, hexagonal plates, and branching star-shaped form.

M: I wonder why the forms are different. Maybe because ice starts to form. on dust particles with different shapes.

W: Well, I thought it might have something to do with the Water saturation of the air, but we were both wrong. The author of this article did extensive research and concluded that the shape of snow crystals is largely controlled by the temperature of the air. For example, the feathery star-shaped snowflake that everyone thinks is typical occurs only at a specific temperature.

M: Doesn't the relative humidity have anything to do with the shapes?

W: Apparently not. The effective super-saturation is simply to alter growth rate. The greater use the saturation, the faster the snowflakes form.

M: Mm. next time it snows, I'll make a point of taking a closer look.

A．She has never seen snow before.

B．She is conducting research on snow.
