I. Listening Comprehension
Section A
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. W: Excuse me. I’d like to place an advertisement for a used car in your paper.
M: Ok, but you have to run your advertisement all week Q: Where is the conversation most probably taking place? 2. M: I spent so much time polishing my letter of application.
W: It’s worthwhile to make the effort. You know just how important it is to give a good impression. Q: What do we know about the man? 3. W: The game is so exciting. What time is it?
M: It’s 3:40. They have only 20 minutes before it’s finished. Q: What time is the game due to finish?
4. M: Yesterday, we went to Joe’s house to listen to music and dance.
W: I heard that he had over 100 rock-n’-roll records. Is that true? Q: What do we learn about Joe? 5. W: What are we going to do if it rains?
M: We’ll have to count on good weather. But if it does rain, the plan will have to be cancelled. Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 6. M: Are you going to see a film with me tonight?
W: No. I have to finish my composition which is due tomorrow morning. Q: What will the woman do tonight?
7. W: Good evening, sir. Have you anything to declare?

W: I’ve closed all the windows and packed our clothes. You might call for a taxi as I lock the suitcase. Q: What does the woman ask the man to do?
9. W: Mark was called up again to Mr. Allen’s room. Apparently, he went against his class teacher again.
M: They say he takes after his elder brother, Bobby. He too used to get into a lot of trouble in school. Q: What can we learn form the conversation?
10. M: Larry’s always checking share prices on the Internet these days.
W: Yes, he’s always talking about which companies are on the way up and which ones are on the way down.
Q: What is Larry probably interested in according to the conversation?
Section B
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
In the next few decades people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically powered cars. So in a few years people won't worry about running out of gas. Some of the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this new technology. F & C Motors, a major auto company, for example, is holding a press conference next week. At the press conference the company will present its new, electronically operated models.
Transportation in the future won't be limited to the ground. Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky. But the sky isn't the limit. In the future, you’ll probably even be able to take a trip to the moon. Instead of listening to regular airplane announcements, you'll hear someone say, “The spacecraft to the moon leaves in ten minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember, no more than ten ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed.” Questions:
11. What will be used to power cars in the next few decades?
12. What will future news reports focus on when talking about transportation? 13. What will passengers be asked to do when they travel to the moon?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
When John and Victoria Church arrived in New York from London for a one-year stay, they brought no furniture with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture.

But they soon learned about a way of furnishing an apartment or a house that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.
Why do people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Many kinds of people: international business, government officials, airline workers, young married couples—the people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another—find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they will soon grow to dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they rent. And people whose work takes them from place to place save themselves the trouble of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new home.
14. According to the passage, who are more likely to rent furnishings? 15. Why do people who move frequently rent furnishings? 16. What might be the best title for the passage?
Section C
Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. M: Are you Emma White, from Canada?
W: Hello! Yes, I am. I registered this summer course by mail on 9th January. Are you Mr. Fang? M: Yes. I’m a teacher of this course. You are welcome to study mandarin.
W: Thanks a lot. I’m interested in Chinese culture very much. By the way, how many students are there in a class?
M: Each class has 10 students and they are from different countries. W: Good! I can make a lot of friends then.
M: It will take us two months to learn this course. When will you have to go back to Canada? W: I’ll be returning to Vancouver in the coming December, just before the Christmas. M: Will you be attending school at that time?
W: Yes, I have to continue my lessons at college in Vancouer. M: What do you major in at your college?
W: I major in history. This is why I want to know more about Chinese culture.
M: OK, I quite understand and I think you will gain a lot in our summer course and good luck to you! W: Thanks!

W: Now. Mr. Brown, what’s the trouble with you? M: I just can’t sleep well, doctor. W: How long have you had this problem? M: For about two months.
W: Two months? Do you have a headache? M: Sometimes. W: Fever? M: No.
W: Excuse me, but can I know if you have any family problems? M: No, not really. My wife and I get along pretty well. W: And how about your work?
M: I have been working a lot lately—10 to 11 hours a day.
W: Maybe you should take a vacation and just have a good rest for a while.
M: Yeah, well, but I can’t right now. We are in the middle of some important business. W: I see. And is that business going on well? M: Well, it doesn’t appear so good at the moment. W: So you are worried about that, aren’t you? M: I guess so.
W: Do you like your job, Mr. Brown? M: Yes, of course.
W: I suggest you should consider a job change.
M: But it is rather hard to find a new job at my age, you know.

M: Many thanks for your advice.
