2 Listen to the first two conversations and choose the correct answers. 翻译:2 听前两个对话,选择正确答案。
Conversation 1 翻译:对话 1
Teacher: Shh! Listen carefully! Did you hear that? No? How about this? If you couldn't hear the first one, it means you're not a dog! (Laugh.) Dogs can hear very high frequency sounds, but people can't. And if you could hear the second one, you're younger than 25. 翻译: 老师:嘘!仔细听!听见了吗?没有?那这个呢?如果你听不见第一个声音,说明你不是狗!(笑)狗能听见高频声音,但人类不行。如果你能听见第二个声音,说明你不到 25 岁。
Student: Wow! Why is that? 翻译: 学生:哇!为什么会这样?
Teacher: Our ears change when we get older. Children and young people can hear the second one, but most people older than 25 can't. 翻译: 老师:我们的耳朵会随年龄变化。儿童和青少年能听见第二个声音,但大多数 25 岁以上的人听不见。
Conversation 2 翻译: 对话 2
Teacher: Today's topic is 'Should teenagers date?'. Team A, please begin. 翻译: 老师:今天的辩题是“青少年该不该约会?”。请 A 组先发言。
Team A: We say no, they shouldn't. One reason is that teenagers are too young. They should think about schoolwork and spend more time studying. 翻译: A 组:我们认为不该。理由一是,青少年太年轻。他们应该以学业为重,多花时间学习。
Team B: We don't agree with Team A. Our answer is 'Yes'. Teenagers can date if they want. It is quite natural for a teenager at that age to feel he or she likes somebody. We think it's possible for teenagers to date and study at the same time. 翻译: B 组:我们不同意 A 组的观点。我们的答案是“可以约会”。青少年有权选择是否约会。这个年龄对异性产生好感是自然的。我们认为约会和学习可以兼顾。
Teacher: Team A? 翻译: 老师:A 组?
