(woman) I'm a senior literature major. I'll be graduating next June.

(man) Your major is literature? Mine is, too. But I'm just beginning my work in my major. I just transferred to this university from a junior college. Perhaps you could tell me about the courses you've got to take for a literature major.

(woman) Well, for a literature major you need to take eight courses, three required courses and five electives. First, you have to take "Survey of World Literature, Parts One and Two."

(narrator) Listen to a conversation between two friends.

(woman) Wasn't that a fascinating lecture on dolphins? I didn't know that dolphins traveled in such large groups, or were able to communicate with other members of their group with those whistle like sounds.

(man) And they also use clicks as a sort of sonar.

(woman) I really couldn't understand that part of the lecture. You could?

(man) Yes, the dolphins use clicks to identify objects in the water; they can even identify tiny objects more than 100 meters away using these clicks. Scientists believe that a dolphin may even have a sonar-like image in its brain of a distant object so that it can identify the object long before the dolphin can actually see the object.

(woman) So the dolphins use these clicks mostly to identify objects in the water?

(man) I think so, and they have considerably more ability to do this than humans do.

(woman) It is hard to believe that, in addition to these sonar clicks, dolphins are actually learning some human language.

(man) Yes, I believe that the lecturer said that some dolphins had already

learned around fifty human commands, and that those dolphins were able to understand not only individual words but words clustered together in sentences!

(woman) Dolphins must certainly be amazing animals to do all of that.

(man) I'm sure they are, and we're only just beginning to find out how intelligent they are.

It was founded in 1892 in San Francisco by naturalist John Muir, who was intent on preserving the natural beauty and harmony of the Sierra Nevadas in eastern California. Today the Sierra Club boasts almost 200,000 members in all fifty states of the United States.

(narrator) Listen to a talk by a university employee.

(man) The next stop on our campus tour for new freshmen is the university sports complex. This university has extensive sports facilities and is dedicated to providing maximum student access to these facilities. On the right you can see the university stadium, which is used for football and soccer as well as track and field. The gymnasium straight ahead contains the arena that is used for basketball and gymnastics. The gymnasium also includes an up-to-date exercise room with a large variety of the latest equipment; the exercise room is open to any student with valid student I.D., not just members of athletic teams. The pool complex is behind the gymnasium, and that is also open for general student use, except when the swim team, the diving team, or the water polo team is practicing. To the left, you can see the tennis courts and outdoor volleyball courts. It is possible to take instruction classes in these sports, or you are welcome to sign up for court time at the Athletic Department office if you just want to play with some of your friends. These are just some of the sports facilities that are available to you here, but I think you can see that this university makes an effort to provide the best opportunity for its students to take part in sports. Now, let's continue on to the Art Center.

44. WHAT IS NEEDED TO GET INTO THE EXERCISE ROOM?

45. WHERE SHOULD A STUDENT GO TO RESERVE A TENNIS COURT?

46. WHAT WILL THE STUDENTS PROBABLY DO NEXT?

Questions 47-50

(narrator) Listen to a talk given by a professor.

(woman) Today's lecture is on the difference between the two literary styles of realism and naturalism. These two styles have in common a faithfulness to actual experience and a mistrust of idealism. Although they do have several similarities, realism and naturalism should be clearly differentiated. The realist objectively reports on events, with the accuracy of the description as the prime motive. The naturalist, on the other hand, has more of a philosophic bent; naturalist writings express the writer's philosophy that human actions are determined by natural laws such as heredity and environment.

47. THIS TALK WOULD PROBABLY BE GIVEN IN WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING COURSES?

48. WHAT POINT IS THE SPEAKER TRYING TO MAKE ABOUT REALISM AND NATURALISM?

49. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING BEST DESCRIBES REALISM?

50. WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING DOES NOT INFLUENCE HUMAN ACTIONS, ACCORDING TO NATURALIST IDEAS?
