First,the professor state that many valuable artifacts were lost to construction projects.While digging foundations for new buildings, the builders often uncovered archaeologically valuable sites.Many archaeologically precious artifacts were therefore destroyed.Then the lecture express that the new guidelines state that before any construction project can start, the construction site has to be examined by archaeologists to see whether the site is of archaeological interest or value.

Second,the professor state many archaeologists felt that the financial support for archaeological research are inadequate.Then the lecture express that any archaeological work done on the construction site will be paid for by the construction company not by the government.

In terms whether the zebra mussel will exert negative influence on North American, the passage and lecture are contradictory to each other. The author believes that zebra mussel might do harm the local species as they arrived while the lecturer holds a different opinion.

First of all, the author makes a point that the history events suggest the zebra mussel's invasion is unstoppable. In the past, human transportation makes it possible for zebra mussel spread around the whole Europe and it is likely to happen again in North American. However, the lecturer demonstrates a different idea that a change made in the "ballast water" will prevent the invasion of zebra mussel from continuing. He says that if we refill the "ballast water" with ocean water, the mussel will no longer survive because the saline water might probably kill them all.

In the reading, it mainly talks about that Rorbot E Peary has been to north pole because it has three striking evidneces. However, in the lecture, the professor thinks that the points provided in the reading are not convencing.

First of all, the reading points out that at the end of the investigation, the committee has concluded that Rorbot E Peary has been to the north pole. Nevertheless, the professor believes that the committee was not objective at all. Firstly, it was writed by his friends. What’s more, the investigation only msintained for two days and they can get precise conclusion in such a short time. So the committee is biased.

In addition, the reading states that the English explorer Tom Avery has proved the truth that the Rorbot E Peary could reach the north pole within 37 days. On the contrary, the professor argues against that there are many distinguishment between the Rorbot and Tom, because at that time, Rorbot had no food and met the most server weather, which will make them late to reach the north pole.

In the reading, it mainly talks about that the edmontosautus in order to survive would migrate south to more suitable place. Nonetheless, in the lecture, the professor thinks the arguments provided in the reading are not convincing.

First of all, the reading mentions that the edmontosaur’s diet support the migrating idea because in the winter, the cold weather prevent plnats from surviving in the north. Nevertheless, the professor concludes that there is no relation between the magration and food supply by giving the fact that long ago the weather in summer was warmer than today’s and even if at the approach of the winter, there did existed enough nurients to feed animals like edmontosauts.

Additonally, the reading states that the many edmontosaur skeletons have been unreathed in the same site which means that the edmontosaur were in herd and there are some similarities bewteen the edmonsaurs and modern migrating animals that find food by migrating. On the contrary, the professor claims that though the enmonsaurs can live in herd, the propose of living in herd is not migrating but aginasting the predators.

The passage claims that wood companies in US would probably not receive ecocertification as companies in other countries do. While, in the lecture, the professor points out several points to substantiate that American wood companies would be most likely to advertising their products by pursuing ecocertification.

First of all, the professor claims that consumers in American pay less attention to advertising and, in fact, they value the advertising which independent from companies, like Consumer Agency. Certainly, consumers in America would like their products to become more environmentally-friendly. Therefore, wood companies in US would want to receive this ecocertification to gain reputation. That differs from what the passage states that consumers would not value the eco-healthy label as much as these labels 'new' or 'improved'.

The passage indicates that there are several measures to prevent the cane toad from spreading. The speaker, holds the view that these measures seems unsuccessful and will bring about the environmental damage.

To begin with, the passage supports the ideas that building native fence contributes to stopping cane toad to move further, for Australia used to manage to control the spread of another animal invader, rabbits. On the other hand, the speaker believes that it cannot stop them. Because the small toad and their eggs are normally living in the rivers and streams, which are able to carry them to another side, the fence is not of use.

Furthermore, the passage insists that volunteers can be organized by the government to destroy the toads, since it is easy to find their colonies which are restricted in water, and catch them by hands. In contrast, the speaker argues that those untrained volunteers may destroy other native frogs, owing to the disability to easily distinguish the small toads and frogs.

Reading

The United Kingdom (sometimes referred to as Britain) has a long and rich history of human settlement. Traces of buildings, tools, and art can be found from periods going back many thousands of years: from the Stone Age, through the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the time of the Roman colonization, the Middle Ages, up to the beginnings of the industrial age. Yet for most of the twentieth century, the science of archaeology—dedicated to uncovering and studying old cultural artifacts—was faced with serious problems and limitations in Britain.

First, many valuable artifacts were lost to construction projects. The growth of Britain’s population, especially from the 1950s on, spurred a lot of new construction in British cities, towns, and villages. While digging foundations for new buildings, the builders often uncovered archaeologically valuable sites. Usually, however, they proceeded with the construction and did not preserve the artifacts. Many archaeologically precious artifacts were therefore destroyed.
