In today's lecture, we're going to look at the cube houses, an iconic architectural complex in Rotterdam. First, I'm going to be telling you about the history behind it. As many may know, not much survived the bombing of Rotterdam during World War Two, and it took a long while for the city to start the urban regeneration project. Dutch architect Blom designed Rotterdam's Cube houses in the late seventies at the

3 In recent years, Rotterdam's Cube houses have been joined by another architectural icon just across the square. Rotterdam's Market Hall, the largest indoor market in the Netherlands, is another multipurpose, residential and retail complex that will live long in your memory, as well as helping to fill your belly with tasty treats. In 2009, the Rotterdam based personal architecture BNA converted one of the larger cubes for one of the leading stock hostel chains in the Netherlands. Today, the hostel invites everyone to experience what it's like to live in a cube house and enjoy a stunning panoramic vista of the surrounding area. What attracts guests most is its ideal location, with a major railway station within a five minute walk. The accommodation is also offered at a fair price, which appeals to visitors both from home and abroad. Part 2. You will hear a recording about organic farming. For questions 11 to 15, write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. (10 points) 11. What type of production system is organic farming considered to be? sustainable 12. What can organic farming help save energy in producing? fertilizers and pesticides 13. From what angle can the differences between traditional farming and organic farming be examined? agricultural biodiversity 14. What products are given as examples to demonstrate lower crop yields in organic farming? tomatoes and potatoes 15. What is mentioned as one of the items whose production keeps the same? (organic) grass TRANSCRIPT Hi, everyone. What I'm going to talk about today is organic farming. Let's first look at what organic farming is. It can be defined as one or more systems of production which don't use synthetic fertilizers, manmade pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics or livestock feed additives to grow crops and raise animals. Virtually all organic farmers prefer to use renewable resources and recycling to give what conventional farmers might consider waste back to the soil of Mother Nature. From this, we can see organic farming is a sustainable production system, which is one of its advantages. Organic farmers use numerous techniques to promote the quality of life of plants and animals within existing ecosystems and minimize pollution that occurs with all conventional farming practices. Another benefit is that with the increase in consumer demand for a healthier, more nutritionally balanced product, the sales of organically produced food are promoted. According to the research, it has become the fastest growing sector of agriculture and has shown an annual increase of at least 20% during the last six years. What's more, both chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides consume nonrenewable resources such as oil and coal. But the development of organic farming can lower the demand for these fertilizers and pesticides, so it is conducive to the conservation of essential energy. At the same time, it also can reduce industrial pollution caused by the production of these chemical substances.
4 Organic farming differs greatly from the traditional one in a number of ways. Let's discuss it from the perspective of agricultural biodiversity. Firstly, for instance, earthworms are an important indicator of soil fertility. Studies have shown that the density and species number of earthworms in organically managed soils are three times as high as those in conventional fields. Moreover, the biodiversity in organic farming can also be reflected in the number of insects, which is twice as many as those in traditional farms. This might be highly related to the fact that organic vegetables are grown without any human-made pesticides, making these vegetables more likely to be damaged. The other main difference between organic and traditional farming lies in crop yields. One of the biggest concerns of organic farmers organic farms, though possibly well adapted for certain local environments, produce less food per unit of land. For example, organic vegetables like tomatoes and potatoes yielded 40% less than conventional ones. In addition, research has also found the number of weeds produced in winter is about 90% at present, which is decreased by 10% than before. However, lower crop yields in organic farming are still inevitable at the moment Anyway, organic farming is a new direction for agricultural development. These days, a variety of organic products are cultivated not only for humans but also for animals. For example, organic grass is commonly used in organic farms to feed cows because of the nonuse of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. It can protect cows from diseases brought by large-scale breeding, thus ensuring the quality of raw milk. But an interesting phenomenon is that its production has remained constant these years, which is quite unique compared with other types of crops. Part 3. For questions 16-20, listen to and decide whether these statements are True (T), False (F). Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (10 points) 16. People who translate novels into their own language tend to produce a better product. T 17. Misunderstanding is no longer the case if the translator is a native speaker. F 18. Writers tend to produce a translation that reflects their own writing style. F 19. There is a problem in the way spoken languages in Zola’s books has been translated. T 20. Literary translation makes the study of literature much broader. T TRANSCRIPT INTERVIEWER: Right, sit down, both of you. Now, Anna, you've prepared some questions for us to discuss today, haven't you? ANNA: Yes, I've been considering how literary translation should be approached. INTERVIEWER: Ah, yes, a very interesting area. Gary, could I just check whether this fits in with your current research? GARY: Yeah, definitely. Funnily enough, I've been reading the French writer Emil Zola in translation recently.
