一、Find a science book托福听力原文：

NARRATOR:Listen to a conversation between a student and a clerk in the bookstore.MALE STUDENT:Hi.Can you tell me where to find New Kind of Science,by,uh,by Stephen Wolfram?FEMALE CLERK:OK

MALE STUDENT:...uh,I couldn't find it

FEMALE CLERK:OK.Let me look it up on the computer for you.Who would you say the author was?

MALE STUDENT:It's a Stephen Wolfram.

FEMALE CLERK:OK.Let's see...Hmm...no,it's not coming up.Hmm..,.I am not seeing it MALE STUDENT:Um...hmm.

FEMALE CLERK:This is for a class here at the university,right?

MALE STUDENT:Yeah,it's assigned reading for a class that I am taking.

FEMALE CLERK:It's for the semester,right?You are not buying it in advance for next year or anything.

MALE STUDENT:No,no.It's for a class I am taking now.FEMALE CLERK:Hmm...

MALE STUDENT:Oh,but you know what?It's for a graduate class.Would that maybe make a difference?I mean,I'm an undergrad,but I'm just,I'm just taking this one class in the graduate department,so maybe?FEMALE CLERK:No,no,I don't think that's it.That shouldn't make any difference,but,mh,let me see...maybe it's just...it could be that whoever entered it misspelled the title or the author's name,so I can't find it on the computer,and I can't tell if it's sold out.But if it is sold out,we would probably be getting a new shipment within about a week or so.MALE STUDENT:OK,well I was hoping to get it sooner,'cause like we already have assignments and,you know.I mean I guess I could get it from the library?FEMALE CLERK:Right,of course.But I'm trying to check; if we've ordered more,then that backorder information should be in the computer too.Let's see...backorder-Wolfram-Steven...no...I'm still not seeing it. I'm sorry, we just don't seem to carry it.

MALE STUDENT:Uh-huh.

FEMALE CLERK:This is odd though.What is...what's your professor's name?I could try searching for his or her classes in the database.That might help

MALE STUDENT:Um...OK.It's professor Kayne.

FEMALE CLERK:K-A-N-E?MALE STUDENT:No.It's professor Kayne,K-A-Y-N-E.He's in the computer science department.FEMALE CLERK:Oh.It's for a computer science course,is it?

MALE STUDENT:Yeah.FEMALE CLERK:Well,that must be it.Computer science books are sold across the street in the computer store.

MALE STUDENT:Oh,are there signs up anywhere?

FEMALE CLERK:I don't know.MALE STUDENT:Maybe they should put some up.It could have save us both some time.FEMALE CLERK:Yeah.Well,anyway,I'll bet that's the problem.Check across the street.I'll bet they have it.But if not,come back,and I'll help you find it somewhere else.I can call around to see if other bookstores might have it.OK?

MALE STUDENT:OK.Thanks a lot.Bye

FEMALE CLERK:Bye

男学生：是斯蒂芬·沃尔夫兰。

女职员：好的。让我看看……嗯……不，它不上来了。隐马尔可夫模型。。，。男学生：嗯……嗯。

女职员：这是大学里的一门课，对吗？

女职员：是这学期的，对吗？你不会为明年或任何事情提前购买。

男学生：不，不，这是我现在要上的课。女职员：嗯。。。

男学生：哦，但是你知道吗？这是一个研究生班。这可能会有所不同吗？我的意思是，我是一名本科生，但我只是，我只是在研究生部上这门课，所以也许？女职员：不，不，我想不是这样的。这应该不会有什么区别，但是，嗯，让我看看……也许只是……可能是谁输入的标题或作者的名字拼错了，所以我在电脑上找不到它，也不知道它是否卖完了。但如果卖完了，我们可能会在大约一周左右的时间内收到一批新货。男学生：好吧，我希望早点拿到，因为我们已经有作业了，你知道。我的意思是我想我可以从图书馆得到它？女职员：当然可以。但我正在努力检查&nbsp；如果我们订购了更多，那么缺货信息也应该在计算机中。让我们看看…沃尔夫拉姆·史蒂文的延期订单…不…我还没看到&nbsp；对不起；我们只是似乎没有带着它。
