听力原文： Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, / unless they hunt them for food. / Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership / which docs good to both of them. I You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. /This is not because they want a ride, / but because they find easy food in the parasites on sheep. / The sheep allow the birds to do so/ because they remove the cause of discomfort. / So although they can manage without each other, they do better together. / Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. / The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. / This is so in the corals of the sea. / In their skins they have tiny plants which act as" dustman", / taking some of the waste products from the corals / and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. / If the plants are killed, / or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally, / the corals will die.

听力原文： One problem of eliciting knowledge from several experts is that experts may share only parts of their terminologies and conceptual systems. Experts may use the same term for different concepts, use different terms for the same concept, use the same term for the same concept, or use different terms and have different concepts. Moreover, clients who use an expert system have even less likelihood of sharing terms and concepts with the experts who produced it. This paper outlines a methodology for eliciting and recognizing such individual differences. It can be used to focus discussion between experts on those differences between them which require resolution, enabling them to classify them in terms of differing terminologies, levels of abstraction, disagreements, and so on. The methodology promotes the full exploration of the conceptual framework of a domain of expertise by encouraging experts to operate in a "brain-storming" mode as a group, using differing viewpoints to develop a rich framework. It reduces social pressures forcing an invalid consensus by providing objective analysis of separately elicited conceptual systems.

听力原文： (11[B]) Play is the principal business of childhood, and recent year research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a person. From earliest stage of life, child needs opportunity and the right material for play, and the main tools are toys. They must be good ones, which children will play with often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development.

(12[D]) In recent years research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likely to reach is largely determined in the first three years of his life, So a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials is of great importance. A baby, who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. (13[C]) The next stage, from three to five years old. curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toys should be made available to the child. Bricks and jigsaws and construction toys; painting, scribbling, and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. By the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years — the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school.
