[02:19.65]Part III Listening Comprehension
[02:23.26]Section A
[02:25.12]Directions: In this section,
[02:28.29]you will hear 8 short conversations
[02:30.80]and 2 long conversations.
[02:33.10]At the end of each conversation,
[02:35.29]one or more questions will be asked about
[02:37.69]what was said. Both the conversation and the questions
[02:41.52]will be spoken only once.
[02:43.71]After each question there will be a pause.
[02:46.99]During the pause, you must read the four choices
[02:50.60]marked A), B), C) and D), and decide
[02:55.08]which is the best answer.
[02:57.16]Then mark the corresponding letter on
[02:59.89]Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
[03:04.98]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.
[03:11.02]11. W: Jim, you are on the net again!
[03:16.27]When are you going to get off? It’s time for the talk show.
[03:20.53]M: Just a minute dear! I’m looking at a new jewelry site.
[03:24.47]I want to make sure I get the right gift for mom’s birthday.
[03:28.60]Q: What is the man doing right now?
[03:45.70]12. W: I have never seen you
[03:49.41]have such confidence before in the exam!
[03:52.04]M: It’s more than confidence!
[03:53.90]Right now I feel that if I get less than an A,
[03:57.18]it will be the fault of the exam itself.
[04:00.27]Q: What does the man mean?
[04:16.94]13. W: Just look at this newspaper!
[04:21.32]Nothing but murder, death and war!
[04:24.71]Do you still believe people are basically good?
[04:28.10]M: Of course, I do! But newspapers
[04:31.05]hardly ever report stories about peace and generosity.
[04:35.10]They are not news!
[04:37.17]Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
[04:53.92]14. M: Tom must be joking when he said
[04:58.96]he plans to sell his shop and go to medical school.
[05:02.46]W: You are quite right! He’s just kidding!
[05:05.30]He’s also told me time and time again
[05:08.58]he wished to study for some profession
[05:11.20]instead of going into business.
[05:13.50]Q: What will Tom probably do according to the conversation?
[05:30.88]15. W: I hear your boss has a real good impression of you,
[05:37.66]and he is thinking about giving you two more days off each month.
[05:41.93]M: I hope not. I’d rather get more work hours ,
[05:45.20]so I can get enough bucks to help out my two kids at college.
[05:49.69]Q: What does the man truly want?
[06:06.70]16. M: I heard you took a trip to Mexico last month.
[06:12.38]How did you like it?
[06:13.92]W: Oh, I got sick and tired of the hotels
[06:17.20]and hotel food! So now I understand the thing:
[06:21.68]East, west, home’s best!
[06:25.84]Q: What does the woman mean?
[06:41.03]17. W: I’m worried about Anna.
[06:46.17]She’s really been depressed lately.
[06:48.90]All she does is staying in her room all day.
[06:52.07]M: That sounds serious!
[06:54.15]She’d better see a psychiatrist at the counseling center.
[06:58.52]Q: What does the man suggest Anna do?
[07:14.89]18. M: I could hardly recognize
[07:20.03]Sam after he got that new job!
[07:22.33]He’s always in a suit and tie now.
[07:24.85]W: Yeah. He was never liked that in college.
[07:28.34]Back then, he went around in old T-shirts and jeans.
[07:32.83]Q: What do the speakers say about Sam?
[07:51.00]Now you will hear the two long conversations.
[07:54.82]Conversation One
[07:56.90]M: Hi, Ann! Welcome back! How was your trip to the States?
[08:02.48]W: Very busy. I had a lot of meetings,
[08:06.42]so, of course, I didn’t have much time to see New York.
[08:10.78]M: What a pity! Actually, I have a trip there myself next week.
[08:15.06]W: Do you? Then take my advice, do the well-being
[08:19.76]in the air program. It really works.
[08:22.82]M: Oh, I read about that in a magazine.
[08:25.23]You say it works?
[08:26.42]W: Yes, I did the program on the flight to the States,
[08:29.82]and when I arrived in New York,
[08:32.44]I didn’t have any problem, no jet lag at all.
[08:36.49]On the way back, I didn’t do it, and I felt terrible.
[08:41.41]M: You’re joking!
[08:42.50]W: Not at all, it really made a lot of difference.
[08:46.22]M: En. So what did you do?
[08:49.07]W: Well, I didn’t drink any alcohol or coffee,
[08:53.00]and I didn’t eat any meat or rich food.
[08:56.28]I drink a lot of water, and free juice,
[08:59.56]and I ate the meals on the well-being menu.
[09:02.95]They’re lighter. They have fish, vegetables, and noodles,
[09:07.76]for example, and I did some of the exercises in the program.
[09:12.14]M: Exercises? On a plane?
[09:14.76]W: Yes. I didn’t do many, of course,
[09:18.04]there isn’t much space on a plane.
[09:20.56]M: How many passengers do the exercises?
[09:23.30]W: Not many.
[09:24.94]M: Then how much champagne did they drink?
[09:27.45]W: A lot! It was more popular than mineral water.
[09:31.06]M: So, basically, it's a choice.
[09:33.14]Mineral water and exercises, or champagne and jet lag.
[09:37.29]W: That’s right! It’s a difficult choice.
[09:42.10]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation
[09:46.92]you have just heard.
[09:48.78]19. Why did the woman go to New York?
[10:07.53]20. What does the woman say about the well-being
[10:12.12]in the air program?
[10:27.95]21. What did the woman do to follow the well-being menu?
[10:48.03]22. What did the woman say about other passengers?
[11:07.97]Conversation Two
[11:10.67]W: Morning. Can I help you?
[11:13.85]M: Well, I’ m not really sure.
[11:16.14]I' m just looking.
[11:17.35]W: I see. Well, there’s plenty to look at it again this year.
[11:21.61]I’m sure you have to walk miles to see each stand.
[11:25.22]M: That’s true.
[11:26.09]W: Er..., would you like a coffee?
[11:28.28]Come and sit down for a minute, no obligation.
[11:31.12]M: Well, that’s very kind of you, but…
[11:33.64]W: Now, please. Is this the first year
[11:36.59]you’ve been to the fair, Mr...
[11:38.45]M: Yes, Johnson, James Johnson.
[11:41.08]W: My name's Susan Carter.
[11:43.04]Are you looking for anything in particular,
[11:45.56]or are you just interested in computers in general?
[11:48.62]M: Well, actually, I have some specific jobs in mind.
[11:52.34]I own a small company, we’ve grown quite dramatically
[11:56.17]over the past 12 months,
[11:57.37]and we really need some technological help to
[12:00.10]enable us to keep on top of everything.
[12:02.62]W: What’s your line of business, Mr. Johnson?
[12:05.57]M: We’re a training consultancy.
[12:07.76]W: I see. And what do you need “to keep on top”?
[12:12.24]M: The first thing is correspondence.
[12:14.65]We have a lot of standard letters and forms.
[12:17.27]So I suppose we need some kind of word processor.
[12:20.44]W: Right. Well, that’s no problem.
[12:23.73]But it may be possible for you to get a system
[12:26.90]that does a lot of other things
[12:28.65]in addition to word processing.
[12:30.51]What might suit you is the MR5000.
[12:35.10]That’s it over there! It’s IBM compatible.
[12:38.49]M: What about the price?
[12:40.99]W: Well, the MR5000 costs 1,050 pounds.
[12:47.01]Software comes free with the hardware.
[12:49.85]M: Well, I’ll think about it. Thank you.
[12:53.57]W: Here’s my card. Please feel free to contact me.
