This video is in the series of NEW TOEFL iBT Preparation: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2jvSGmpWX1UMjbc8Onae7i-R6Z8VcPbU. Questions 1 through 2. Listen to part of a talk in a science class. As you recall from our previous discussion, the chemistry of life is organized into metabolic pathways. Next year, in your organic chemistry lab, you'll go into this—into metabolism—in more depth. Since this is an intro course, you need only a general understanding of the process for now. There’s a wonderful videotape I’d like you to know about that will help you review for the test next week. It’s part of the “Transformations" series that was on television about a year ago. The episode you should watch is called “The Industry of a Cell.” I strongly urge you to see it. I believe our library has more than one copy. It shows lots of examples — the many ways that cells use energy for metabolism. For example, it shows how bacteria in the “headlight” of a certain fish—how these bacteria take the energy stored in food and convert it into light, in a process called bioluminescence. You should all try to see this program before next week. I highly recommend it. In fact, you can expect to see examples from it on the test. Correct Answers: 1. D 2. B ------------------ Questions 3 through 6. Listen to an instructor give a talk about jazz. The origins of jazz are as richly textured as the music itself. The term “jazz” really covers many different kinds of music. In the late nineteenth century. African Americans began performing the folk music known as the blues, whose origins lay in the work songs of slavery days. Within the African- American community, the blues evolved into popular commercial music. In 1914, a black orchestra leader named W.C. Handy wrote the "St. Louis Blues.” Adapting the African-American folk idiom to European conventions of orchestration and harmony. Handy produced a hit song. The “St. Louis Blues” was tremendously influential among black and white musicians, and Handy's style of music became famous under the name of “jazz.” Early jazz musicians were active in many cities and towns throughout the southern United States. It was New Orleans with its long tradition of African-American music- that was the home of many “fathers” of jazz. After World War One. the musicians of New Orleans joined the general northward migration of African Americans. The first great national center of jazz was Chicago. From there, the music entered the mainstream and even gave its name to the decade of the 1920s. Jazz, blending African-American folk roots with elements of popular music and European classical traditions, has been called “America’s classical music.” Correct Answers: 3. C 4. C 5. A 6.

Listen to part of a lecture in a marine biology class. Land animals move easily through air, because air docs not slow them down. Sea creatures, on the other hand, have to move through water, which is hundreds of times thicker than air. A sea animal has to push itself through water in order to move. Sea animals use many different ways to swim, creep, or glide through water. Fish are able to swim by bending their bodies into waves. They have flattened fins and tails that push against the water like oar blades, converting their body waves into forward movement. The size of a fish’s tail contributes to its swimming speed. Small tail fins are found in slow swimmers like the eel. The medium size tail of the bass is linked with a medium-to-fast swimming speed. Long, pointed tail lobes, like those on the marlin, are found only on fast swimmers. Sea mammals like whales and dolphins swim in a very fish-like way. except for one important difference. Because their ancestors lived on the land, they developed tails that moved up and down. Whales and dolphins wave their tails up and down rather than side to side like fish do. The seahorse is a fish whose tail is not used for swimming at all. The seahorse uses its thin, coiled tail to attach itself to seaweed, like a monkey's tail holds onto a tree branch. Squids and octopuses move in a completely different way. They use a type of jet propulsion- shooting water out through a nozzle to force themselves along. And then there are the creatures that live on the bottom of the sea. Sea slugs, limpets, and whelks creep on a single flat piece of muscle called a foot. Ripples pass along the foot, which allows these animals to glide smoothly forward. Correct Answers: 7. C 8. A 9. B 10. D
