W:
Hello.
M:
Hello. Is that the reference library?
W:
Yes, can I help you?
M:
I hope so. I ran earlier and asked for some information about Dennis Hutton, thescientist. You asked me to ring back.
W:
Oh, yes. I have found something.
M:
Good. I've got a pencil and paper. Perhaps you could read out what it says.
W:
Certainly. Hutton Dennis, born Darlington,1836, died New York,1920.
M:
Yes, got that.
W:
Inventer and physicist, the son of a farmworker. He was admitted to the University ofLondon at the age of 15.
M:
Yes.
W:
He graduated at 17 with the first class degree in physics and mathematics. All right?
M:
Yes, all right.
W:
He made his first notable achievement at the age of 18. It was a method ofrefrigeration which rolls from his work in low temperature physics. He became professor ofmathematics at the University of Manchester at 24, where he remained for twelve years. Duringthat time, he married one of his students, Natasha Willoughby
M:
Yes, go on.
W:
Later working together in London, they laid the foundations of modern physics byshowing that normal laws of cause and effect do not apply at the level of subatomic particles.For this he and his wife received the Nobel Prize for physics in 1910, and did so again in 1912for their work on very high frequency radio waves. In his lifetime, Hutton patented 244inventions. Do you want any more?
M:
Yes, when did he go to America?
W:
Let me see. In 1920 he went to teach in New York and died there suddenly after onlythree weeks. Still he was a good age.

Yes, I suppose so. Well, thanks.

In America, white tailed deer are morenumerous than ever before, so abundant in factthat they've become a suburban nuisance and ahealth hazard.
Why can't the herd be thinned the old-fashionedway?
The small community of North Haven on LongIsland is home to some six hundred to sevenhundred deer. The department of Environmental Conservation estimates the optimumpopulation at 60. The town has been browsed bare of vegetation except where gardens andshrubs are protected by high fences.
Drivers routinely collide with deer and there are so many dead bodies left by the side of theroad that the town has made it a deal with a local pet cemetery to collect and dispose of thebodies. Some people in the town have become ill from deer transmitted diseases. On theoccasions when hunting has been tried, local animal rights people have worked to secure courtorders against the hunts. And when that is failed, they stop the hunters, banging on pots andpans to alert the deer. Town meetings called to discuss the problem inevitably dissolved intoconfrontations.
The activists believe simply that the deer are not the problem. Some communities have evendiscussed the possibility of bringing wolves back into the ecological mix. That means wolves inthe suburbs of New York. It is almost too wonderful not to try it. The wolves would kill deer ofcourse. They would also terrorize and kill dogs and cats which is not what the suburbandwellers have in mind.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard
Q16. What do we learn about white-tailed deer in North Haven?
Q17. Why do local animal rights people bang on pots and pans?
Q18. What would happen if wolves were brought back into the ecological mix?

And now, if you'll walk this way, ladies and gentlemen, the next room we're going to see isthe room in which the family used to hold their formal dinner parties and even occasionallyentertain heads of state and royalty. However, they managed to keep this room friendly andintimate. And I think you'll agree. It has a very informal atmosphere, quite unlike some grandhouses you visit. The curtains were never drawn, even at night, so guests got a view of the lakeand fountains outside which were lit up at night – a very attractive sight. As you can see,ladies and gentlemen, the guests were seated very informally around this oval table, whichwould add to the relaxed atmosphere. The table dates from the 18th century and is made fromSpanish oak. It's rather remarkable for the fact that although it's extremely big, it'ssupported by just six rather slim legs. However, it seems to have survived like that for 200years. So it's probably going to last a bit longer. The chairs which go with the table are not acomplete set. There were originally six of them. They are interesting for the fact that they arevery plain and undecorated for the time, with only one plain central panel at the back and noarmrests. I myself find them rather uncomfortable to sit in for very long, but people wereused to more discomfort in the past. And now, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like to follow meinto the great hall…
Q19. What do we learn about the speaker?
Q20. What does the speaker say about the room they are visiting?
Q21. What is said about the oval table in the room?
Q22. What does the speaker say about the chairs?
