Directions: In Section A, you will hear ten short conversations between two speakers. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. The conversations and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a conversation and the question about it, read the four possible answers on your paper, and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.

1. 2. 3.

W: Oh, dear! I'm exhausted. I can’t walk any further.

M: Let’s go to the cafe opposite the China bank and have a rest. Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place? W. The exhibit at this gallery is excellent.

M: I have heard that it contains works of art from all over the world. Q: What are these people discussing?

M: How long does it take you to drive home when there is not much traffic?

W: Nearly fifty minutes, but if I can’t leave my office before 5 p.m., it usually takes me 25 minutes more.

Q: How long does it take the woman to drive home when it is rush hour?

4. M: I’m sorry, Madam. The train is behind schedule because of the fog. Take a seat and I’ll tell you as soon as we know something definite.

W: Thank you. I’ll just sit here and read a magazine.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

5. M: How are you getting along with your new roommate, Jenny?

W: Oh, quite well. She’s a person who always speaks her mind.

Q: What does Jenny think of her new roommate?

6. M: Happy birthday, Kate! This is for you.

W: Thank you so much, Jack. But I’d rather forget my birthday since last year I had my fortieth birthday.

Q: What does the woman really mean?

7. W: I’d like to go to the movies this evening. Will you come with me?

M: Well, I’ll go if you really want me to, but I’m a little worn out from my work today.

Q: What conclusion can we draw from their conversation?

8. M: It is so hot today. This must be the hottest summer in years.

W: Well, it’s certainly hotter than last summer. I was out in the sun today, and I think I’m five pounds lighter than I was this morning.

Q: What does the woman mean?

9. M: I think Tom should invite Mary to the party.

W: It’s none of your business. If Tom had wanted to invite her, he would have.

Q: What did the woman say about Tom?

10. M: Would you help me prepare some food and drinks for tomorrow’s family reunion?

W: Why not? Let’s be careful not to overdo it though. Last time we had enough for two such parties.

Q: What does the woman mean?

Section B

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and one longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the longer conversation. The passages and the longer conversation will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 1l through13 are based on the following passage.

On September 6, 1860, the woman who devoted her whole life to helping the poor was born. Her name was

Jane Addams. Even though Jane came from a well-to-do family, she saw the bad living conditions of the poor. As a young child, Jane had made up her mind as to what she wanted to do with her life. Jane wanted to help those people who couldn’t help themselves. She thought that the best way to help the poor was to become a doctor. Jane entered medical school, but because of poor health, she had to leave school.

It wasn’t until Jane visited London that she discovered how she would spend the rest of her life. In

London, Jane saw a settlement house. A settlement house was a place where poor people could go for help. In 1889, Jane Addams opened the first settlement house in America. It was located in a very poor neighborhood in Chicago. The settlement house that Jane Addams founded helped those people who had come to America from other countries.

Jane wrote books about the problems faced by the poor. She also spoke to many people about those problems. Because she did this, new laws were passed to help workers, women, and children. Jane Addams gave hope to those who had none. When she died on May 21, 1935, Chicago’s poor lost a very dear friend. (Now listen again

please.)

Questions:

11. Which of the following can be learned about Jane Addams from the passage?

12. Why did Jane leave school according to the passage?

13. Which is NOT one of the contributions she made to the poor? Questions14 through16 are based on the following passage.

Well, everybody. Welcome to our College library services. My name’s John Williams. Our resources are in three main locations: the library itself, with books and journals; the self-access language centre, with audio and video material; and the micro-computer lab. Now, we will start with the micro-computer lab, or micro-lab as we call it.

It is fitted with 24 personal computers. If you are a member of the library, you may borrow CALL discs in French, German, Italian, Spanish and Russian as well as English. By the way, CALL, C A double L, stands for computer aided language learning. You may also borrow a range of word processing and desktop publishing packages. All disks are, of course, strictly for use in the micro-lab only.

If you wish to print anything you should use one of the five machines around the outside of the room. There is always a long queue towards the end of term. Come in and get to know how to use the computers early in the term and use them regularly, rather than just before exams and essay deadlines, in order to avoid delay or disappointment. Training sessions are held on a regular basis, on the first and third Thursday of each month, and are free to full-time students of the college. See you there. Now, any questions? (Now listen again please.)

Questions:

14. What did the speaker say about the CALL discs in the college library?

15. What does the speaker suggest the students do during the term?

16. What does the speaker mainly talk about?

Questions17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

W: So, you’re the editor of this TV program. May I ask a few questions about your program?

M: Sure.

W: What kind of topics does your program cover?

M: Well, there are essentially domestic stories. We don’t cover international stories. We don’t cover party politics or economics. We do issues of general social concern to our audience. They can be anything from the future of the health service to the way the environment is going downhill.

W: How do you choose the topic? Do you choose one because it’s what the public wants to know about or because it’s what you feel the public ought to know about? M: I think it’s a mixture of both. Sometimes you have a strong feeling that something is important and you want to see it examined and you want to contribute to a public debate. Sometimes people come to you with things they are worried about and those things can be quite small, like advertising junk food to children or wage inequality at work. W: How do you know that you’ve got a really successful program? One that is just right for the time?

M: I think you get a sense about it after working in it for a number of years. You know which stories are going to get the attention. They are going to be published just the point when the public are concerned about that. (Now listen again please.)
