听力原文：W: Hi, Bill, how is it going？
M: Oh, hi, Jan. I'm OK. How about you？
W: You can probably tell just by looking at me. I'm really busy. Hey, what are you reading？
M: A pretty interesting article. My biology professor assigned it, and I thought I just look it over. But I got really involved in it. It's about endangered species.
W: That sounds pretty interesting. I'm getting frustrated with the two research papers I'm struggling with.
M: Oh？
W: And can you believe they are both due on the same day？
M: That's tough.
W: I'll get through it. So what's this you are reading？
M: Well, it's basically about the choices conservationists are faced with. You know, these days when funding so hard to come by.
W: Wait a minute. Is the focus on biology or economics？
M: Both. Conservationists don't have enough funding to save every endangered species in the world, so they have to decide based on what would be lost if a species became extinct.
W: Can you give me an example of what you mean？
M: Take for instance, two animals, the spotted awl and the tailed toad. The article says the toad is unique. It has no relatives. But there are a lot of varieties of awls.
W: So, if that toad became extinct, we'd lose an important link in the chain of revolution, right？
M: Exactly. But that isn't so for the awl. So for conservationists, it might be clear choice of which animal to save.
W: I see. I am glad I don't have to make that kind of decision. Aren't you？

The stylistic innovation in paining known as Impressionism began in the 1870's. The
Impressionists wanted to depict what they saw in nature, but they were inspired to portray
fragmentary moments by the increasingly fast pace of modern life. They concentrated on
the play of light over objects, people, and nature, breaking up seemingly solid surfaces,
(5) stressing vivid contrast between colors in sunlight and shade, and depiction reflected light
in all of its possibilities. Unlike earlier artists, they did not want to observe the world
from indoors. They abandoned the studio, painting in the open air and recording spontaneous
Impressions of theirsubjects instead of making outside sketches and then moving indoors
to complete the work form. memory.
(10) Some of the Impressionists' painting methods were affected by technological
advances. For example, the shift from the studio to the open air was made possible in
part by the advent of cheap rail travel, which permitted easy and quick access to the
countryside or seashore, as well as by newly developed chemical dyes and oils that led
to collapsible paint tubes, which enabled artists to finish their paintings on tile spot.
(15) Impressionism acquired its name not from supporters but from angry art lovers who
felt threatened by the new painting. The term "Impressionism" was born in 1874,when
a group of artists who had been working together organized an exhibition of their
paintings in order to draw public attention to their work. Reaction from the public and
press was immediate, and derisive. Among the 165 paintings exhibited was one called
(20) Impression: Sunrise, by Claude Monet (1840- 1926),Viewed through hostile eyes,
Monet's painting of a rising sun over a misty, watery scene seemed messy, slapdash,
and an affront to good taste. Borrowing Monet's title, art critics extended the term
"Impressionism" to the entire exhibit. In response, Monet and his 29 fellow artists in
the exhibit adopted the same name as a badge of their unity, despite individual differences.
(25) From then until 1886 Impressionism had all the zeal of a "church", as the painter Renoir
put it. Monet was faithful to the Impressionist creed until his death, although many of the
others moved on to new styles.
