Section A
1. W: It’s a pity you missed the concert yesterday evening. It was wonderful!
M: I didn’t want to miss the football game. Well, I’m not a classical music fan anyway.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
2. W: Hey! If you can’t enjoy that at a sensible volume, please use earphones. I’m trying study.
M: Oh! I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was bothering you.
Q: What is the man probably doing?
3. M: Can I help you, Ms?
W: Yes, I bought this telephone last week, and it works all right with out-going calls, but it doesn’t ring for the incoming ones.
Q: What’s the problem with the woman’s telephone?
4. W: I thought Tom said he got A’s in all his tests.
M: Mary, you should know better than to take Tom’s words too seriously.
Q: What does the man imply?
5. W: Can you show me how to use this, John?
M: It is fully automatic. All you have to do is focus on the scene and press the button here.
Q: What are they talking about?
6. M: I think we should move on to the next item.
W: Ok. But I’d like to take this matter up again at the end of the meeting.
Q: What does the woman imply?
7. W: You know, the Browns have invested all their money in stocks.
M: They may think that’s a wise move, but that’s the last thing I’d do.
Q: What’s the man’s opinion about the Browns’ investment?
8. M: What is Mr. Peterson going to do with his old house on London Road? Rent it or sell it?
W: I heard he is thinking of turning it into a restaurant, which isn’t a bad idea, because it’s still a solid building.
Q: What will Mr. Peterson do with his old house?
9. M: How do you like Professor Bachman’s course on the History of Philosophy? He is a distinguished scholar on that subject.
W: He is a great teacher. But I’m having a hard time with the reading list. I feel I can’t ever finish it.
Q: What problem does the woman have with the course?
10. W: Robert wants to know if he can go with us to the party.
M: That’s odd. This morning he said he wanted to go by himself.
Q: What do we learn about Robert?
