I. Listening Comprehension

Section A Short Conversations

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. M: Excuse me. Does this train go to London?

W: No, this is the 11:35 service to Rochester. There’s a London train from platform 12 at 11:45.

Q: When will the train for London leave? (B)

2. W: I heard your car broke down on the way yesterday. Were you able to catch a train home?

M: I just missed the last one. Fortunately a friend was passing, and he gave me a lift. Taxis are terribly expensive.

Q: How did the man get home yesterday? (A)

3. M: Can I get breakfast in my room?

W: Certainly. It's served from 8 until 10. Just ask for Room Service on the phone, or I can

make a note of it if you like, sir.

Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place? (C)

4. W: Shouldn't someone go pick up the clothes from the laundry? They were ready three hours

ago.

M: Don't look at me, mom.

Q: What does the boy mean? (A)

5. W: So, Mike, as a new comer to this firm, you don’t know about the party tomorrow, do you?

M: No, I don’t. Thanks a lot for telling me, Sue. It’s going to be a good chance to get close to everyone in the office.

Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers? (B)

6. M: I wonder if you find my experience relevant to the job.

W: Yes, certainly. But if only you had sent in your application letter a week earlier!

Q: What does the woman imply? (B)

7. W: So what did you buy yesterday?

M: A T-shirt. It was a real bargain. I got it half price, saving 15 dollars.

Q: What’s the regular price of the T-shirt? (B)

8. M: Since I came here I’ve been up most nights. No matter what time I go to bed, I always

wake up in the middle of the night.

W: Your biological clock probably hasn’t adjusted to the time here.

Q: What is the man’s trouble? (D)

9. W: Who do you think should get the job? How about Mr. Becket?

M: Mr. Becket? I'm not sure. He is a nice fellow, of course, and easy to get along with. But I doubt his professional skills. I want someone who can get the job done.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation about Mr. Becket? (D)

10. M: I am so sick of calling the ticket office, the line is always busy.

W: Why don’t you order through the Internet?

Q: What does the woman suggest the man do? (C)

Section B Passages

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages 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 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

High school students in Massachusetts may think they’re having bad luck when they are woken up at sunrise by their headmaster’s voice. "It’s 6:15, and it’s Durfee High School calling." The voice of Headmaster Paul Marshall of Durfee High School rings through to the school’s 2,400 students’ phones. The so-called wake-up calls are aimed at getting the students who are always late for school out of bed and making them go to school on time. The calls can also be used to send notes of weather-related school delays to the parents.

Durfee High School takes on the added role of alarm clock to fight with high rates of lateness. The students get phone calls at home at 6:15 am, while the school day’s first class begins at 7:45 am. Administrators there hope the effort will promote attendance from 88 percent now to at least 95 percent. "Historically, we have battled with the attendance problem, and our attendance has always been a concern," Mr. Marshall said.

The school began to use wake-up calls after failing to improve attendance with punishments like making study hours longer. As is posted on the school’s website, "Being late is not allowed in the world of work and will not be allowed here as well."

Questions:

11. When does the first class begin? (D)

12. Who receives wake-up calls from the headmaster? (B)

13. What did the school use to do to improve attendance? (C)

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following news.

The dragon, one of the imaginary creatures in the Chinese culture, is considered to be the luckiest birth sign. It is commonly believed that those born in the Year of the Dragon are fated for wealth and success. Since couples can only have a “dragon baby” every twelve years, many postpone or plan their pregnancies for this year. May 2nd is the suggested deadline for having a dragon baby. Doctors in Hong Kong estimate that there could be 10% more babies born in Hong Kong compared to last year. Despite heavy restrictions and fines, many mainland mothers try to give birth in Hong Kong. Some want to avoid China’s one child policy, while others want better quality services and education for their children. Teachers in mainland China say that trying to have babies this year is foolish since dragon babies will lose out on educational opportunities due to the expected boom.

Questions:

14. Why do so many people expect to have dragon babies? (B)

15. Which day is the suggested deadline for having a dragon baby? (A)

16. Which is not the reason for mainland mothers’ giving birth in Hong Kong? (C)

Section C Longer Conversations

Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

M: Did you enjoy your weekend at the Highland Hotel? I heard it’s an excellent place to stay and has good facilities.

W: I had a wonderful time. The rooms are not very big, but they are well furnished. The restaurant is excellent and reasonably priced.

M: What’s the service like?

W: It’s very good. Check in and check out only took a few minutes. The wait staff is very good. A waiter recommended their baked fish, which tasted wonderful. The hotel was quite full, so I’d suggest making a reservation if you intend to go there. The hotel offers a discount at the weekends.

M: It sounds perfect. Did you have any complaints at all?

W: There was a problem with the Internet access, so I couldn’t check my email, but I didn’t complain about it to the management.

M: I suppose you were happy to forget about the outside world.

W: Yes, I was. Here’s their business card.

M: Thanks. One of the things I dislike about hotels is that everyone expects tips.

W: I know. At the Highland Hotel, they have an interesting policy. When you check out, you put some money in a special box at reception. Each evening, the money in the box is shared equally by the hotel staff.

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.

M: Hey, Lucy! You look … different. You’ve colored your hair again!

W: Yes. I got it done yesterday. I was getting tired of the dark black hair.

M: But isn’t it bad for you to dye your hair all the time?

W: Well, I don’t do it all the time.

M: Let’s see, you had light brown hair in August. You were blond in November, and back to black after that and now red!

W: Wow, has it been that many already? But it doesn’t matter. I’m having fun.

M: Expensive fun, I think!

W: But don’t you think colored hair is more attractive than boring old black?

M: Yes, but some people say that using hair dye too often increases the risk of some kinds of cancer.

W: Oh, come on. That was true back in the 70s. Not today.

M: I’m just telling you what I heard.

W: Anyway, not all hair dyes are bad for you.

M: I have heard that some hair dyes use plants for coloring. They’re called “natural hair dyes.”

W: Really?

M: They are not supposed to contain chemicals that harm your hair.

W: That sounds too good to be true! I’ll try it next time.

M: You’d better get it done at a salon where there are professionals.

W: It’s much more expensive!

M: True. Well, remember it’s your hair.
