How did things get this way？ To answer that we have to go back almost a thousand years. Around 1100, Europe at last began to catch its breath after centuries of chaos, and once they had the luxury of curiosity they rediscovered what we call "the classics." The effect was rather as if we were visited by beings from another solar system. These earlier civilizations were so much more sophisticated that for the next several centuries the main work of European scholars, in almost every field, was to assimilate what they knew. During this period the study of ancient texts acquired great prestige. It seemed the essence of what scholars did. As European scholarship gained momentum it became less and less important; by 1350 someone who wanted to learn about science could find better teachers than Aristotle in his own era. But schools change slower than scholarship. In the 19th century the study of ancient texts was still the backbone of the curriculum. What tipped the scales, at least in the US, seems to have been the idea that professors should do research as well as teach. This idea was imported from Germany in the late 19th century. Beginning at Johns Hopkins in 1876, the new model spread rapidly. Writing was one of the casualties. Colleges had long taught English composition, But how do you do research on composition？ The professors who taught math could be required to do original math, the professors who taught history could be required to write scholarly articles about history, but what about the professors who taught rhetoric or composition？ What should they do research on？ The closest thing seemed to be English literature.
And so in the late 19th century the teaching of writing was inherited by English professors. This had two drawbacks: (a) an expert on literature need not himself be a good writer, any more than an art historian has to be a good painter, and (b) the subject of writing now tends to be literature, since that's what the professor is interested in.
It' s no wonder if this seems to the student a pointless exercise, because we' re now three steps removed from real work: the students are imitating English professors, who are imitating classical scholars, who are merely the inheritors of a tradition growing out of what was, 700 years ago, fascinating and urgently needed work.
The other big difference between a real essay and the things they make you write in school is that a real essay doesn't take a position and then defend it. That principle, like the idea that we ought to be writing about literature, turns out to be another intellectual hangover of long forgotten origins.
It's often mistakenly believed that medieval universities were mostly seminaries. In fact they were more law schools. And at least in our tradition lawyers are advocates, trained to take either side of an argument and make as good a case for it as they can. Whether cause or effect, this spirit pervaded early universities. The study of rhetoric, the art of arguing persuasively, was a third of the undergraduate curriculum. And after the lecture the most common form. of discussion was the disputation. This is at least nominally preserved in our present-day thesis defense: most people treat the words thesis and dissertation as interchangeable, but originally, at least, a thesis was a position one took and the dissertation

听力原文： Good morning, class. I have some great news for you all. Contemporary novelist Marie Irvine is coming to our university next month to lecture on the influence of women writers in the literary scene. If you can recall, we have read a few of Ms. Irvine's works in our textbook, and she is often considered one of the dozen best writers in the country. Not only is she going to give a lecture here, but also I have been able to convince her to lead a creative writing workshop for interested students. Since this is an advanced writing class, and you all have made considerable progress, I decided to offer the class the opportunity to join the workshop before this is offered to the entire campus.
The workshop will be two days long, held in the main lecture hall of this building. Ms. Irvine has assured me that participants in the workshop will work closely with her and get all the personal attention they need. She will particularly focus on the problems of female writing. Since there are only fifteen spots open for this workshop, I suggest you sign up as soon as possible before all the seats are taken. The cost of the workshop is ＄ 200, and this fee includes all your materials and a dinner banquet that will be held afterwards. You must pay an ＄ 80 deposit to reserve a spot, and the remainder of the tuition must be paid in two weeks. I should mention that the English department is co-sponsoring the workshop. If you would like to register, please see me after class. I encourage you to take advantage of this rare opportunity.

听力原文：W: Hi, Professor Higgins.
M: Hi, Julia.
W: [22] Would you be able to help me organize my essay？
M: Certainly. What topic have you chosen？
W: Women in Politics.
M: [23] That topic is very broad. I think you should narrow it down.
W: Do you think I could just do women in English speaking countries—say the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Britain？
M: Well, that would be better.
W: I am interested in the pattern of political involvement of women in those western democracies. With New Zealand and Australia leading the way, women in those countries had the vote soon after the end of World War I.
M: [24] It would be good to begin with a discussion of when women got the fight to vote and how they use it.
W: The record of women in politics in all those countries has been similar. None of them has women represented more than 10 percent of members of the national legislature.
M: Remember, it is not what you think. [23] You must back up your opinions with facts. Support for all your ideas is essential. I think you should check the statistics on what percentage of women hold political office in the national governments.
W: Okay, I also plan to discuss the role of organized women's fights.
M: That is a good idea, but remember this term-paper is only 5,000 words so [23] you must keep your topic focused.
W: Could I bring you a rough draft next week？
M: [25] I would prefer if you broughht an outline, breaking down your main topics and subtopics. It may be a good idea to bring some of your reference materials along.
W: Sure, I will do that. Thank you very much.

听力原文： Your assignments this term will be to write two major research papers. One of the most important things about writing a research paper is giving proper credit of your resources of information. Failure to do this is called plagiarism which is a form. of intellectual dishonesty.
Plagiarism is a kind of stealing or at least an unauthorized borrowing of someone else's ideas. Sometimes inexperienced students will plagiarize unintentionally, and then be surprised when the teacher won't accept their papers, or gives them a failing grade.
The best way to avoid an unintentional plagiarizing is to be very careful in gathering your information. As you take notes on books and magazine articles about the topic you've selected, first try to assimilate the information thoroughly. Secondly, write it down in your own words. This is called paraphrasing. If you do a good job of paraphrasing, you'll capture the main idea from your source without actually using any phrases from it. Most of your notes should probably be paraphrases. However, occasionally you may find something you wish to quote directly in your research paper. In this case, be sure that you copy the quotation precisely in your notes and enclose it in quotation marks. That way when you're finalizing your research paper, you'll be able to remember which of your notes are direct quotes and which are your own summaries of the material. You can then incorporate them appropriately and give the original author proper credit.
Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
32. What kind of assignment does the speaker discuss with the students？
33. What does the speaker warn the students not to do？
34. According to the speaker, how should most of the notes be taken？
35. How does the speaker say a direct quotation should be used？
(33)
A．Reading magazine articles.
B．Reviewing book reports.
C．Writing research papers.
D．Selecting information sources.
