[00:04.26]Section A
[00:05.90]Directions: In this section,
[00:09.83]you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.
[00:14.10]At the end of each conversation,
[00:16.73]one or more questions will be asked about what was said.
[00:20.45]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.
[00:25.15]After each question there will be a pause.
[00:28.64]During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D),
[00:35.43]and decide which is the best answer.
[00:37.95]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2
[00:42.86]with a single line through the centre.
[00:45.38]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.
[00:50.20]1. M: Here is your arrangement for this week.
[00:55.23]On Monday, there is a cross-cultural lecture.
[00:58.51]The charity dance is on Tuesday. And then on Wednesday,
[01:02.66]you are supposed to meet the president of Harvard University.
[01:05.95]W: It seems like a full week that I'll possibly have Thursday and Friday off.
[01:10.54]Q: What will the woman probably do on Tuesday?
[01:30.65]2. M: Did the professor give an assignment before Friday?
[01:34.04]W: Nothing to read in the textbook,
[01:36.34]but we have to see a movie and write a short comment on it.
[01:40.17]Q: What have the students been assigned to do before Friday?
[01:54.93]3. W: Professor, have you heard the morning news report?
[02:04.29]Thomas resigned his post as defense secretary.
[02:07.68]M: I didn't turn on the radio this morning, but I did see the headlines.
[02:12.27]If you remember, he threatened to leave office at the last cabinet meeting.
[02:17.52]Q: How did the professor know that Thomas had resigned?
[02:37.75]4. W: Does John know the class is having a surprise party
[02:41.88]for him when he turns twenty-one this week?
[02:44.94]M: No. He thinks we are giving a retirement party for the dean.
[02:49.31]We've hidden the presents for him.
[02:51.83]Q: What are the man and woman planning?
[03:10.67]5. M: Our summer vacation is coming, and I am planning to go to Tibet.
[03:16.91]But I am totally broke. How can I afford my summer vacation to Tibet?
[03:22.37]W: Why don't you tighten your belt a little? You have been scattering money.
[03:27.19]Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
[03:45.69]6. M: I'm really getting worried about Mary.
[03:49.62]She was sitting in for the exam for the two weeks' time.
[03:53.78]But all she is talking about now is nothing but an upcoming concert.
[03:58.92]W: She may fail along that line. Let's try to talk some sense into her.
[04:03.95]Q: What are the speakers probably going to do?
[04:23.71]7. M: How did you find the food in the new restaurant I recommended?
[04:28.82]W: I haven't tried there yet.
[04:30.57]I drove all the way there only to find it's closed on Tuesday,
[04:35.17]so we had my dinner in the Korean restaurant on the opposite side of the road.
[04:41.73]Q: What did the woman say about the new restaurant?
[04:59.34]8. M: Hello, Linda. Have you seen Michael this morning?
[05:06.01]There is an urgent letter for him, waiting for his signature.
[05:09.73]W: Yes, he is in our dean's office, talking about the affairs to go abroad for further study.
[05:16.18]Q: What is Michael doing now?
[05:34.22]Now you'll hear two long conversations.
[05:37.71]Conversation One
[05:39.90]W: Hey Steve, got any plans for tonight?
[05:42.64]M: Hi, Jane. No, I don't think so. Why? Got any suggestions?
[05:47.11]W: In fact, I do. I just got two tickets
[05:50.62]to the opening of the exhibit of the reprints by Julia Emily Cameron.
[05:55.10]I would have to mention it earlier,
[05:57.18]but I was on the waiting list for these tickets and I wasn't sure I'd even get them.
[06:01.66]M: An exhibit, huh? I like such things. But I don't know who Julia...
[06:05.93]W: Emily Cameron! She was a photographer in the 1800s.
[06:10.75]She is interesting to art-historians in general
[06:14.02]and students of photography in particular because she...how should I say,
[06:18.62]change the aesthetics for photography.
[06:21.24]M: What do you mean?
[06:22.88]W: Well, her specialty was portraits and instead of
[06:26.05]just making a factual record of details like most photographers did,
[06:30.65]you know, just capturing what a person look like in a neutral and natural way.
[06:35.14]She, like a portrait painter, was interested in capturing her subject's personality.
[06:40.93]M: Interesting! How did she do that?
[06:43.55]W: She invented a number of techniques that affect the picture.
[06:46.84]Like one of those things she did was blur images slightly by using a soft focus on the subject.
[06:53.72]That's pretty common now. Her techniques brought great influence to the later photographers.
[06:59.64]M: Yeah, she's great. Who did she photograph?
[07:02.70]W: Famous people of her day, Alfred Lord Tennyson,
[07:07.29]Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Charles Darwin..., I don't know who else. We'll see at the exhibition.
[07:14.61]M: You really pick my curiosity. I am going to enjoy this.
[07:18.66]W: I'll give you a call when I get the tickets.
[07:21.18]M: I bet we'll have great fun there.
[07:23.69]Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[07:29.16]9. What is the conversation mainly about?
[07:48.21]10. What did Julia Emily Cameron emphasize in her photographs?
[08:11.11]11. What unique photographic technique did Julia Emily Cameron use?
[08:33.95]12. What will be the subject of the pictures at the exhibit?
[08:53.46]Conversation Two
[08:55.31]W: Morning! Can I help you?
[08:57.28]M: Yes, I'm here to know about tomorrow's activities for freshmen.
[09:01.33]W： Well, firstly, let me give you this booklet. It tells you a bit more about the school,
[09:07.02]the courses and the social activities we offer.
[09:10.52]M: Thanks. I can see there's a tight schedule for tomorrow.
[09:14.02]W: Right. Now, on the first page, there's an outline of next morning's activities.
[09:19.82]At 10 o'clock, all the new students will gather in the Main Hall
[09:24.63]to meet the principal and the rest of the staff.
[09:27.37]M: Well, I see. I'll try not to be late.
[09:30.32]W: The principal's talk will last about fifteen minutes
[09:34.37]and then the director of studies will talk to you for half an hour
[09:38.08]about the courses and the different requirements for each.
[09:41.36]After that, the student adviser will tell you about the various services and activities we offer to students.
[09:48.80]M: I can see after that we'll go to the language lab at 11 o'clock. What will we do there?
[09:54.82]W: You'll have a test.
[09:56.02]M: A test?! I don't like the sound of that. What sort of test?
[10:00.07]W: Oh, don't worry about it.
[10:01.82]It's just a test to help us find your level of English,
[10:05.65]so that we can put you in the right class.
[10:07.94]M: We still have a couple of things to do in the afternoon.
[10:11.66]W: Yes. At 2 p.m., you'll watch a documentary about the school life in Classroom 521, Main Building.
[10:19.61]At 4, a lecture about course registration will be given,
[10:24.10]since you're all eager to know about it, which will be given at Lecture Theater.
[10:28.80]M: That'll be helpful. Thank you very much.
[10:31.43]W: You're welcome.
[10:32.63]Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[10:38.10]13. What will the student advisor talk to the freshmen?
