You will hear a lecturer called Dr. Lewis talking to a first-year chemistry student called Layla about her work in laboratory. First, you have some time to look at questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 00:01:01,260 Now listen carefully and answer questions twenty-one to twenty-six. 00:01:09,280 Hello, Layla. Now, this is just a general chat about your progress. First of all, how do you think you are getting along with your chemistry lab work? 00:01:19,360 Well, I'm not sure, Dr. Lewis. I don't feel very confident. I mean, what we do isn't really all that difficult, but I didn't do much science practical work at school. 00:01:32,080 But presumably, you've been reading the background information for the experiments on the department website. Is that useful? 00:01:40,180 Well, it depends. The last experiment about freezing points of different liquids, it would have been helpful if there had been more detail on the website about how to actually measure the temperature. We didn't do this as accurately as we needed to, so the information we got wasn't very useful. We were okay with the equipment, but we certainly wouldn't have been if we hadn't read the stuff on the website before. And some of these safety warnings seem a bit extreme too. 00:02:11,140 But you do have to be aware of the dangers. 00:02:14,040 Yes, of course. 00:02:15,960 Now, what about your lab reports? Students sometimes get very behind with these. 00:02:21,620 The thing is, I don't know where to begin, so I end up putting it off. 00:02:27,100 Well, try setting aside half an hour just to do a small part of it. Then the rest won't seem as daunting. And it's important to avoid using informal language or language that's too personal. 00:02:40,960 Yes, I got quite a bit of feedback on that in my last lab report, but the feedback on the introduction was really negative. I like to follow the guidelines. I didn't spend it all describing the experimental method, for example, because that's all given in the lab notes. 00:02:58,660 Okay. 00:02:59,620 But apparently, I didn't give enough information about why the experiment was significant. 00:03:06,180 Yes, you may need to do a bit of work for that. And don't forget to put the correct references in your review of the literature. What was the feedback like for your results and discussion section? 00:03:18,440 Okay. Apparently, the labeling of the graphs and tables wasn't always clear, but they liked the way I separated out the different effects of temperature and didn't teach on the different possible reaction mechanisms. 00:03:31,820 Yes, that's good. To link each stage in the experiment to possible explanations rather than treating them separately. 00:03:39,300 Hmm. 00:03:40,500 It takes some students a long time to learn how to make those connections. 00:03:45,140 My summary at the end wasn't too bad either. Though they said I needed more emphasis on how it related to possible future experiments. 00:03:54,980 Well, it sounds as if you came all right, actually. But you could join what's called the mentor scheme. This is where you talk informally to another student, probably a postgraduate in actual work. Things like how to approach lab reports. 00:04:10,900 Right. Well, I'm feeling a bit better about things now I've talked to you, but I'm still worried about all the articles and books we're supposed to get through. Would that be something a mentor could help me to learn? 00:04:24,160 Sure. 00:04:25,200 That would be really good. And I think the lectures would all make more sense then. 00:04:30,820 Yes. 00:04:31,700 So how do I go getting a mentor then? I did see a leaflet about it. Um, I think it said something about the university office. 00:04:40,400 Oh, they just print the leaflets. I heard leaflets themselves say you need to go through the student services. But actually, I can put you in touch with someone in this department myself. That might be better. 00:04:53,680 That sounds good, Dr. Lewis. Thanks. 00:04:58,280 Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:05:25,320 Now listen and answer questions twenty-seven to thirty. 00:05:33,240 How are you getting on with the reading anyway? 00:05:35,960 Well, I've been using Chemistry Three quite a lot. It's not too high a level, and I like the way it links the theory and the practice, especially the sections giving real-life examples. 00:05:48,660 Yes, that's definitely a strong point. 00:05:51,660 I wanted to read The Chemistry of Water, but it isn't in the library. They said it was out of print. 00:05:59,000 Yes, that's a pity. It's still one of the best overviews of the topic. Have you ever looked at Introduction to Chemical Bonding? 00:06:08,080 I got it on order at the library. I was going to buy it, but it seemed a lot to pay for what you get. 00:06:15,560 Yes, I agree. But I would recommend you read it as soon as possible. By the time you get to the end of the year, it won't be so relevant. 00:06:24,280 Okay. What do you think about Basic Inorganic Chemistry? Quite a lot of people have bought that. It's not awfully expensive. 00:06:34,020 Well, it covers a lot, but not in enough depth for this course. 00:06:38,800 I'd say you'd be better saving your money there. 00:06:41,700 Okay. Thanks, Dr. Lewis. 00:06:44,280 Now, the last thing I would ## 题目与答案 ### 21. 21 For her last experiment, Leila would have linked more information on 21 For her last experiment, Leila would have linked more information on - taking measurements - laboratory safety procedures - setting up for equipment **答案**：taking measurements 原文定位：The last experiment about freezing points of different liquids, it would have been helpful if there had been more detail on the website about how to actually measure the temperature 同义替换：「linked more information」↔「had been more detail」 ### 22. 22 What general problem has Leila had with her lab report? 22 What general problem has Leila had with her lab report? - getting started - keeping to word limit - writing in the correct style **答案**：getting started 原文定位：The thing is, I don't know where to begin, so I end up putting it off 同义替换：「general problem」↔「don't know where to begin」；「getting started」↔「where to begin」 ### 23. 23 In feedback to the introduction of her last report, Leila was criticized for 23 In feedback to the introduction of her last report, Leila was criticized for - her review of the literature on the topic - her explanation of the importance of the experiment - her description of the experimental method **答案**：her explanation of the importance of the experiment 原文定位：But apparently, I didn't give enough information about why the experiment was significant 同义替换：「importance」↔「significant」 ### 24. 24 What was good about the Results and Discussion in Leila's last lab report? 24 What was good about the Results and Discussion in Leila's last lab report? - the final summary - the organization of the information - the labeling of the graphs and tables **答案**：the organization of the information 原文定位：Okay.
