Narrator: For Harvey Van Runkle, it was love at first sight, or should we say, love at first byte Really, it is 64,000 bytes—that's the size of the memory on his
new BANANA-3 personal computer. It all happened by accident. His wife,
Charlotte, had sent him out to buy a new toaster, when he found himself
standing in front of a computer display at the BANANA Computer Store. Salesman: Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this little computer is going to change your lives.
Just consider the hardware: You have a 9-inch TV screen. That’s your
video display terminal. You have a keyboard with 46 numbers and
characters on it. You have a printer that will give you paper printouts of
your work in three colors. You have two disk drives—one inside the
computer terminal and one outside. This computer can do anything! Now
let’s have a little demonstration. Who would like to try the new
BANANA-3 computer You, sir. You look interested. Step right up and try
the BANANA-3.
Harvey: What's a d-disk drive
Salesman: That's the part of the computer that loads your program into the machine.
Harvey: Oh. What's a program
Salesman: The program That's your software. That's the instructions. It's all contained right on this floppy disk here. The instructions on this disk tell the
computer what to do.
Harvey: Oh, you mean like my wife. She always tells me what to do.
Salesman: Exactly. Now what type of program would you like I have word processing,
I have electronic spreadsheet...
Harvey: What's word processing
Salesman: Word processing is using the computer like a typewriter. But it's much better than a typewriter. You can move words or sentences from place to
place or make corrections or changes right on the screen. You never have
to erase on paper. It's a wonderful little program! Would you like to try it,
Mr...
Harvey: Van Runkle. Harvey Van Runkle. I've never used a computer before... Salesman: It's easy. First we start up the machine, and then boot up a program.
Harvey: Boot up
Salesman: That's computer talk for turning the computer on and loading a program.
There. Now we look at the menu.
Harvey: Menu But I just had lunch. I'm not hungry.
Salesman: No, no. This is a program menu, not a restaurant menu. It shows the different things the program can do. For example, here we have "file". If
you select file, you can choose which of your documents you want to work
rrect your document.
on. And here’s “edit”. This gives you ways to co
Harvey: Gee, this is great! There's only one problem.
Salesman: What's that
Harvey: I don't have any documents. I'm a plumber.
Salesman: But you have bills, don't you
Harvey: Yeah, but...
Salesman: W ell, with our electronic spreadsheet s oftware, you can make a monthly
budget for your household.
Harvey: No. My wife, Charlotte, does that.
Salesman: Well, now you can do it, Harvey.
Harvey: I don't know...
Salesman: And you have friends, don't you
Harvey: Yeah, well there's my brother-in-law Bob...
Salesman: Great! You can write letters to Bob on your new BANANA-3 computer!

Salesman: Great. Joe, get Harvey here signed up, will you He wants a BANANA-3 with a printer and software. Okay, step right up, ladies and gentlemen. This
computer can do anything!
Task 3
【答案】
A.
1) They are important because they are able to measure quantities such as electricity and temperature.
2) Digital computers.
3) Only one person at a time can use them.
4) It is because their owners do not spend enough time learning how to operate them efficiently.
5) Each person who uses a minicomputer has a computer terminal that is connected to
the minicomputer by interface wires. With the help of the operating system, the CPU is able to divide its time and perform for all the users.
B.
Similarities and Differences between Microcomputers and Minicomputers
Similarities 1．They are two kinds of common digital computers.
2．Both of them can be used in small businesses.
3．Each computer has only one CPU.
Differences 1. Minicomputers are larger than microcomputers.
2. Microcomputers are used more frequently in large offices and
businesses than in small businesses.
3. More than one person can use a minicomputer at the same time. 【原文】
There are two primary kinds of computers: analog computers and digital computers. Unless you are a scientist, you probably will not use analog computers. These computers are important because t hey are able to measure quantities such as electricity and temperature.
In contrast, digital computers perform their tasks by counting. Some digital computers are built to help solve only a specific kind of problem. For example, digital computers that monitor airplanes flying in and out of airports are built only for that task. Most digital computers, though, can be used to help solve many kinds of problems. Among them, microcomputers and minicomputers are two kinds of common digital computers.
Microcomputers, also called personal computers, are the newest computers. Many are about the size of a very small television set. Some, however, are so small and light that people can carry them easily on business trips. Because computer
manufacturers produce an enormous amount of computer hardware, it is possible for anyone to own and use a microcomputer. Therefore, we now see these machines in many homes, schools, and businesses. There is one disadvantage to these computers, though. Only one person at a time can use them. Also, many people who buy microcomputers do not understand what these machines can and cannot do. Some experts say that almost half of all micro-computers are not used often because their owners do not spend enough time learning how to operate them efficiently.
Like microcomputers, minicomputers are used in small businesses. H owever, they are larger than microcomputers and are used more frequently in large offices and businesses than in small businesses. Another difference is that more than one person can use a minicomputer at the same time. We call this time-sharing. Some minicomputers can have more than a hundred people time-sharing them. Each person who uses a minicomputer has a computer terminal that is connected to the minicomputer by interface wires. But even though more than one person can use a minicomputer, the computer has only one CPU. With the help of the operating system, the CPU is able to divide its time and perform for all the users.
Task 4
【答案】
A.
1) It wasn't the typical low mechanical voice that sounded like a record being played
at too slow a speed. It sounded natural. It had charm to it.
2) Lupa had once heard that even a sophisticated analog computer couldn't pick up
certain subtleties in the English language, no matter how good the programming is.
3) When Lupa stood up and walked around the room, it was evident to her that

2) You know something; I thought you'd be different. Just once today I was hoping I'd
get someone who wouldn't try to beat the program.
3) You wouldn't happen to know what day of the week September the fourteenth, 1321, fell on, would you
It was a Sunday; but how do you know whether I'm right Thank you for visiting the computer exhibit.
【原文】
Lupa laughed. She liked the voice that had been selected for the computer. It wasn't the typical low mechanical voice that sounded like a record being played at too slow a speed. It sounded natural. It had charm to it.
"Do you have a name" Lupa asked.
"Not yet," the computer answered. "They're running a contest. The kids are supposed to name me. I'm dreading the whole thing, believe me."
Now Lupa thought this was clever, the way they had programmed the computer. She wondered if there was some way to screw up the program. She had once heard that even a sophisticated analog computer couldn't pick up certain subtleties in the English language, no matter how good the programming is, so she decided to give it a try.
"My paws give me pause," she said.
The computer was silent.
"My paws give me pause," Lupa repeated. "It's a clause without claws."
Lupa waited in silence for a response.
"You know something," the computer said. "I thought you'd be different. Just once today I was hoping I'd get someone who wouldn't try to beat the program."
Lupa smiled. "This was marvelous," she thought to herself. "They'd thought of everything."
"Sorry," she said. "Mi dispiace."
"Ah, you speak Italian," the computer said with some sarcasm.
"Qui, d'accord," Lupa answered. "C'est vrai."
"And French, too. Your French is better than your Italian. Though neither one is great. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to shut down. It's closing time."
Lupa stood up and walked around the room. It was evident to her that somewhere in the building, listening through an intercom was someone with a microphone. She thought about how to test for this.
"You wouldn't happen to know what day of the week September the fourteenth, 1321, fell on, would you" Lupa asked.
"It was a Sunday," the computer answered, "but how do you know whether I'm right Thank you for visiting the computer exhibit."

【原文】
Hello. I think we can begin now if you're ready. Um, today I want to talk to you about computers, about the impact of computers on how we talk, on the ways we talk. Now of course we all know that computers have changed our lives in many ways. Stop and think for a minute about how we use computers in our everyday life. It's hard to think of anything we do that hasn't been changed by computers. For example, computers allow us to get money directly from our bank accounts at cash machines.
At hospitals, computers help doctors understand what is wrong with patients. We can use computers to help us decide which color to paint our houses, which hair styles to have, or which dresses or suits would look good on us--lots of professional and personal uses. Computers are simply a part of our lives, and, I think it is safe to say, they will continue to be. What I'd like to look at today is how the use of computers
has had an impact on our language--how computers have changed the expressions we say, the words we use.
First, let me give you some examples. These are examples from English that I'd like you to think about. The first example is this. Someone at an office says, "We'd
like to have the project online by next Monday." In computer talk "online" means started or working. So this statement means that we'd like to have the project started and going by next Monday.
The second example is from a discussion or seminar. Someone might say, "Let's

Unit 1 Task 1 【答案】 A. unusual, whatever, escape, traditions, present, grey, moulded, shape, here B. 1) Students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance. 2) When people went anywhere on a visit, the pretty English girls all kissed them. 3) Erasmus, Bacon, Milton, Cromwell, and Newton (or Wordsworth, Byron, Tennyson, etc.) 【原文】 My coming to Cambridge has been an unusual experience. From whatever country one comes as a student one cannot escape the influence of the Cambridge traditions---and they go back so far! Here, perhaps, more than anywhere else, I have felt at one and the same time the past, the present and even the future. It’s easy to see in the old grey stone buildings how the past moulded the present and how the present is giving shape to the future. So let me tell you a little of what this university town looks like and how it came to be here at all. The story of the University began, so far as I know, in 1209 when several hundred students and scholars arrived in the little town of Cambridge after having walked 60 miles from Oxford. Of course there were no colleges in those early days and student life was very different from what it is now. Students were of all ages and came from anywhere and everywhere. They were armed; some even banded together to rob the people of the countryside. Gradually the idea of the college developed, and in 1284, Peterhouse, the oldest college in Cambridge, was founded. Life in college was strict; students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance. Books were very scarce and all the lessons were in the Latin language which students were supposed to speak even among themselves. In 1440 King Henry VI founded King’s College, and the other colleges followed. Erasmus, the great Dutch scholar, was at one of these, Queens’ College, from 1511 to 1513, and though he wrote that the college beer was “weak and badly made”, he also mentioned a pleasant custom that unfor tunately seems to have ceased. “The English girls are extremely pretty,” Erasmus said, “soft, pleasant, gentle, and charming. When you go anywhere on a visit the girls all kiss you. They kiss you when you arrive. They kiss you when you go away and again when you return.” Many other great men studied at Cambridge, among them Bacon, Milton, Cromwell, Newton, Wordsworth, Byron and Tennyson. Task 2 【答案】 A. 1) a) 2) b) 3) a) 4) c) B. 1) They usually wear black gowns—long gowns that hang down to the feet are for graduates, and shorter ones for undergraduates. 2) Women students do not play a very active part in university life at Cambridge, but they work harder than men. C. 1) meadows, green, peaceful, bending into, intervals, deep coloured, reflection, contrasts, lawns 2) peace, scholarship, peace, suggest, stretches, charmingly cool, graceful 【原文】 Now let me give you some idea of what you would see if you were to talk around Cambridge. Let us imagine that I am seeing the sights for the first time. It is a quite market town and the shopping centre extends for quite a large area, but I notice more bookshops than one normally sees in country towns, and more tailors’ shops showing in their windows the black gowns that students must wear—long gowns that hang down to the feet for graduates and shorter

全新版大学英语3综合教程听力原文及答案第三册 Unit 1 Part B Text 1 Dating with My Mother (Part One) After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman. It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.' The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays. Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong' she asked. 'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.' 'I would like that a lot,' she said. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said. Questions: 1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy 2. What do you know about the speaker's mother 3.
