Six? That's quite a heavy load. Any particular reason?

again,
So you've already learnt a lot of the material.
Right. And calculus is a part of the second year requirement.
Let's see, Chemistry ,Calculus. Oh I see you'll be in my seminar on the
modern American novel.
Yes, I'm looking forward to it and the romantic poetry seminar, too. Two seminars? That is rather a
lot. Can you handle the work?

Questions 41-45
We are rapidly nearing the end of this course in the history of classical music. We have covered
several centuries in a very short time. Much too short to do the music justice, of course, but then
this is a survey course. From now until the end of the term, we’II be talking about and listening to
electronic music You probably already know it was in the 1930 s that musical computers and
synthesizers first appeared in universityies. The first commercial synthesizers were sold about this
time, too. The sophistication and complexity of these instruments has now increased to the point
that they can produce almost any kind of sound. Some alarmists believe these new instruments
will bring an end to classical music or they've already have You know I don't share this view,
though I agree we are in the midst of a revolution in instrument design. This, however, is not the
first such revolution in musical history and probably not the last one either. Remember we’ve
already studied a similar case in the early nineteenth century when The piano replaced the
harpsichord and modern brass and wind instruments came into being.
One of the most important reasons for the great popularity of electronic instruments is of course
their relatively cheap price. Well, just look at it. Only about 400 dollars for an electronic keyboard
compared to nearly 3000 dollars for a piano. Naturally, this has done a lot to increase sales of
electronic instruments. But I don't think even the most ardent supporters of electronic instruments
expect them to completely replace acoustic instruments.
41. What is the speaker's main topic?
42. At what point in the semester is this talk being given?
43. What is the speaker's opinion of the idea that electronic instruments will destroy classical
music?
44. When does the speaker say that another significant change in instrument design took place?
45. According to the speaker, how does the price of the electronic keyboard compared with the
price of the piano?
Questions 46- 50
The volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Saint Helens certainly caused a lot of damage, didn't
it? It did, but not as much as experts have predicted. It seems to have had a beneficial effect as
well. Really? But weren't crop losses great? Yes, However, since the weather following the
eruptions was unexpectedly good, some crop yields remain steady or even increased beyond
normal expectancy level. I'm glad to hear that. But what was the beneficial effect you mentioned?
A mass destruction of various insect populations.
How could the ash have killed insects without affecting people too? It's highly abrasive and
quickly wears away the outer wax layer protecting insect bodies. Removal of that layer causes
insects to lose body moisture by evaporation, the result is usually lethal. How about that! Sounds
like an effective yet natural insecticide.
46. What is the main topic of the conversation?
47. According to the woman, what was the extent of crop damage?
48. What beneficial result did the volcanic ash have?
49. What can be inferred about the effect of volcanic ash on people?
50. What is the man's attitude toward the information?
