想问一下TPO13 第一个lecture那篇讲城市规划的
是那篇lecture的第二题，问为什么pedestrian mall要建在市中心
答案选A，是说要increase retail activity
关于知道题的其他选项我也很困惑，B可以排除；C说的是因为交通便利，我觉得挺对的；D说可以让人们从市郊搬回市中心，我觉得也挺对的，文中开始不是说到了吗，求解答！！

这真是一个神贴。认真精神让人感动。
本来我的寄托号，没有头像，也没有验证邮箱，为了回帖。我搞了这两个。

回答一个LZ的困惑。或许LZ早就没困惑了。因为看时间已经是2年前左右了。
而且我也没看下来这10楼中有没有人回答。
总之我回答一下吧。

Section1 Lecture1 Q7
第二道题要求选出是否displacement的表现。
请问第三个选项怎么会是正确的呢？听力里面学生举例，是把鸟类的敌人放在食物的旁边，鸟感到conflicting，然后就睡着了，但是第三个选项是：Ananimal eats some food when confronted by its enemy.答案说要选这个…
请帮忙解答一下，我都困惑好久了！

Conflicting drive================================Q2 这是俺笔记

题点的原句是：

Displacement activities are activities that animal’s engaging in when they have conflicting drives.

所以。1. 敌人是一个 drive 2. 食欲 是另一个DRIVE
简单的说，就是他又想吃东西，但是又想跟敌人斗争或者逃跑。

你又想考托福，你又想打ETS。最后你就决定今晚睡觉了。。。奏是这么回事。

TPO7的conversation1里有一句话是not to be uninformed,请问是什么意思？

Pro: Well, she is really versatile. She just spent several months studying social
interactions in Indonesia and she's been influential in ecology. Oh, and she's also done
work in south of America, this is closer to biology, especially with speciation.


Eric: ah, not to seem uninformed

Pro: Well, how's species form? You know, how two distinct species form from one. Like
when population of the same species are isolated from each other and then developed
into two different directions and ended up with two distinct species.

想问下大神们TPO1 的LECTURE1里第十一题你们有没有疑问啊？原句不是I find Frantzen to be a very accessible artist.I mean some artists, to appreciate them, you have to know their life story but here's a little bie about Rose Frantzen's life anyway.可选择的为什么是A啊？？
A. The students can understand Frantzen's art without knowing about her life
B. The students should pay very close attention to what he is going to say
不用知道干嘛前面要说“为了欣赏他们，你们不得不知道他们的life story？”

请问 TPO 9 讲shrubs的第15题为什么选b,area这个词我觉得明显用的不对啊，教授曾经提到过关于area的问题所以这里我觉得area明显不能认为是layer。还有选项c有什么地方不对么。。。请大神们求解:)

正好我今天做到这一篇，错得七零八落的，嗷……这一题也错了……我自己是这么理解的：

（原文）Well, much of the soil is usually still frozen during peak run-off. And
the nutrients are deep down in the active layer anyway, not high up near the
surface, which is the part of the active layer most affected by run-off.

（选项） A.The roots of shrubs prevent nutrient-filled soil from being washed away.
        B. Most nutrients are not in the area of the soil most affected by runoff.
        C. Most nutrients remain frozen in the permafrost when spring runoff is at its peak.
        D. Most nutrients have been absorbed by vegetation before the runoff period begins.

原文说much of the soil is usually still frozen，说明有部分soil是会融化的，属于the active layer。而 C选项中所说的permafrost（永久冻土）明显与原文不符。

第二道题要求选出是否displacement的表现。
请问第三个选项怎么会是正确的呢？听力里面学生举例，是把鸟类的敌人放在食物的旁边，鸟感到conflicting，然后就睡着了，但是第三个选项是：Ananimal eats some food when confronted by its enemy.答案说要选这个…
请帮忙解答一下，我都困惑好久了！

从这段lecture中这部分

1. Displacement occurs because the animal’s got two conflicting drives – two competing urges, in this case, fear and hunger.
   
2. And what happens is, they inhibit each other, they cancel each other out in a way, and a third seemingly irrelevant behavior surfaces through a process that we call ‘Disinhibition’.

复制代码

我们可以知道displacement必须是在两种相互冲突、削弱的动机下，产生第三种看似无关的行为。而前文学生的举例确实是displacement，学生是这样说的

1. And the animal, it was conflicted between confronting the object and eating the
   
2. food, so instead, it just fell asleep.

复制代码

随后教授也表示同意。但这里要注意的这题所设的情景是前面第一个学生所假设的情况

1. How about an animal that, um, instead of fighting its enemy or running away, it attacks a plant or a bush?

复制代码

动物有两种选择，战斗或者逃跑。而吃东西是无关的，符合定义，所以选yes。这里没有明确地说food摆在enemy旁，因此不构成女学生所举例子的选择情况。

Whattopics related to the Nightcap Oak does the professor mainly discuss?"
A.Factors that relate to the size of the area in which it grows.
B.Thesize of its population over the last few centuries.
C.Whether anything can be done to ensure its survival.
D.Why it did not change much over the last one hundred million years.
答案是AB，怎么看出来的，我开始选的D

因为是双选，所以A是毫无疑问的。
对于B和D，我觉得区别在于时间。A的时间是指oak的出现时间至今已有million years，这是在开头说的。而B的over last few years 对应lecture后半部分

Um…we…there’s some indications to
suggest that the population of the Nightcap Oak has not declined over the last
er…you know, many hundreds of years.

这里已经明确说出是后几百年没有数量变化，所以应该选B，而不是似是而非的D。

TPO13
Section1Lecture1 Q7
Whatit the basic reason for building pedestrian mall in the city center?
A.To increase the detail activity in the area.
B.To reduce the noise made by automobile traffic.
C.To increase shopping conveniences for city residents.
D.To encourage people to move from the suburbs into the downtown.
答案是A，我可以判断出B和D是明显的错误，但是我选的C，至少这个在原文中可以体现出来，难道错在 city residents?

根据原文

While, one way they’ve came up with the some ways to attract more
people ... to shop downtown was by creating pedestrian malls.

可知建P Mall的目的是促进消费，对应选项选A。
B明显可以排除。
C是增加消费便利，那是对于建设时要考虑的factor来说的，并不是最初建mall的目的。
D对一半，事实上是为了鼓励人们回来购物，前文有提到，而非回来定居。

TPO20 Section2 Conversation2
第一题Why does the professor want to talk to the student?
答案为To encourage her to increase the scope of her research project.
为什么不是To suggest some chances to improve her research project？

是因为expand所以就要选increase the scope吗？可是这不也算是提供了一个可以improve research的机会吗？
