[00:10.92]Directions: In this section,
[00:14.64]you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.
[00:19.02]At the end of each conversation,
[00:21.64]one or more questions will be asked about what was said.
[00:25.25]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.
[00:30.17]After each question there will be a pause.
[00:33.45]During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D),
[00:40.23]and decide which is the best answer.
[00:42.76]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2
[00:47.78]with a single line through the centre.
[00:50.19]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.
[00:56.32]11. M: Honey, you've got to drink lots of water.
[01:02.01]It will wash away the infection in your eyes.
[01:05.18]W: I have been doing that all these days and I feel much better.
[01:09.56]Q: Why does the woman drink so much water?
[01:28.46]12. M: Hello, Mary, this is Dam Morrison from the office.
[01:34.60]I'm calling to see how Tom is feeling today.
[01:37.56]If he is not so well, I may arrange someone else to do his work instead.
[01:42.70]W: Oh, hello, Mr.Morrison.
[01:44.23]The doctor said he'd be able to go back to work tomorrow.
[01:48.06]Q: What can we learn about Tom from the conversation?
[02:08.57]13. M: How are you going with your English morning report?
[02:13.74]It is your turn next Monday morning.
[02:16.26]Usually you do everything very well,
[02:18.99]so all of us are expecting your presentation.
[02:21.62]W: I have spent a whole week searching online
[02:24.68]for the related information but nothing valuable came up.
[02:28.62]Q: How did the woman go with her morning report?
[02:47.82]14. M: Before the weather report,
[02:52.10]could you tell me some road news?
[02:54.07]W: Yes, well, the A4l is still very busy at the Dome corner this morning.
[03:00.20]Another traffic jam we have is in the A1M up near Hatfield, Harrow Road.
[03:06.97]The A404, Harrow Road is now flowing freely, no problems there.
[03:12.44]Q: What do we learn about the roads from the conversation?
[03:31.69]15. M: Susan, I feel so happy now.
[03:37.15]I've just got the news that I've won the scholarship for the next school year.
[03:41.86]W: You certainly deserve it.
[03:43.61]Q: What does the woman mean?
[04:00.90]16. W: Professor Smith has helped me so much that
[04:06.04]I'm thinking of presenting him a book of poetry.
[04:09.10]M: I think you'd better get him a music record.
[04:12.05]Just because he's a language teacher doesn't mean all he does is read.
[04:16.64]Q: What does the man mean?
[04:34.22]17. M: It's mostly blue and green with a pattern of flowers in the middle.
[04:40.34]There's a dark green border.
[04:41.99]W: Yes, it matches the curtains well.
[04:44.83]We are going to put it down in the sitting room.
[04:47.12]Q: What are they talking about?
[05:04.53]18. W: I have been waiting here for almost half an hour,
[05:09.55]why did you take so long to park the car?
[05:12.07]M: I'm sorry. I have driven two blocks before I spotted a place to park.
[05:16.34]Q: What do you learn from the conversation?
[05:34.57]Now you'll hear two long conversations.
[05:39.71]Conversation One
[05:41.68]M: Hey, Jane. What's so interesting?
[05:44.74]W: Hi, Tom. I'm reading this fascinating article on the societies of the Ice Age.
[05:50.65]M: The Ice Age? There weren't any societies then,
[05:54.26]just a group of people living in the cave.
[05:56.99]W: That's what people used to think.
[05:59.18]But a new exhibit of the America museum of natural history
[06:03.56]showed Ice Age people were surprisingly advanced.
[06:07.27]You may never hear of it.
[06:09.13]M: Oh, really? In what ways?
[06:10.77]W: Well, Ice Age people were the inventors of language,
[06:15.15]art, and music as we know it.
[06:17.34]And they didn't live in caves, they built their own shelters.
[06:21.93]M: What did they use to build them?
[06:24.12]The cold weather would have killed off most of the trees
[06:27.18]so they couldn't have used wood.
[06:28.93]Of course they couldn't live in the ice blocks.
[06:31.78]W: In some of the warmer climates,
[06:34.62]they did build the houses of wood.
[06:37.14]In other places, they used animal bones and skins or lived in natural stone shelters.
[06:44.14]M: How did they stay warm?
[06:46.11]Animal skin walls don't sound very sturdy(坚固的).
[06:49.39]W: Well, it says here that in the early Ice Age,
[06:53.00]they often faced the house towards south to take the advantage of the sun,
[06:58.25]a primitive sort of solar heating.
[07:01.20]M: Hey, that's pretty smart.
[07:02.84]But when night comes, it is still a problem to keep warm.
[07:05.91]W: They had some solution.
[07:07.88]People in the late Ice Age even insulated their homes by putting heated stones on the floor.
[07:15.17]They also have some creative ways to make their life better.
[07:18.45]M: All these sound interesting.
[07:20.52]Can I read that magazine article after you're done?
[07:23.59]I think I can use some of the knowledge for my recent paper.
[07:27.20]W: Yes, sure.
[07:28.84]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[07:35.84]19. What did the man think of the people in the Ice Age?
[07:57.59]20. What did the people in the Ice Age invent?
[08:18.02]21. How did people in the early Ice Age keep warm?
[08:38.42]22. What does the man want the woman to do?
[08:58.42]Conversation Two
[08:59.40]W: Good morning. Housing office, how can I help you?
[09:03.34]M: Hi. I'm calling about the new low-cost housing for graduate students.
[09:08.04]W: Are you aware that it's only available to married graduate students and their families?
[09:13.40]M: Yes. I think my wife and I may qualify since she's still in graduate school.
[09:18.43]But I was wondering whether there were any other requirements.
[09:21.82]W: Well, unless you have more than one child,
[09:25.11]you both have to have an annual income not less than 15 000 dollars.
[09:31.24]You may be qualified if you are in the above condition.
[09:34.74]M: I'm working as a part-time research assistant
[09:37.69]so that's no problem. But right now we're living with my wife's parents.
[09:41.85]Does that mean we have to include their income too?
[09:44.91]W: Not necessarily.
[09:46.44]M: I may have lots of questions to ask. Sorry for taking you so much time.
[09:51.36]But I may still have a couple of questions to ask.
[09:54.86]W: Don't worry. Why don't you stop by our office
[09:58.14]so I can give you some forms to fill out and explain everything in more detail?
[10:02.96]M: That sounds like a good idea.
[10:05.14]Would tomorrow morning be all right?
[10:06.68]W: The afternoon might be better.
[10:08.54]It can be pretty crazy around here on a Friday morning.
[10:11.93]M: All right then. I'll try to make it in the afternoon.
[10:15.21]Is there anyone special I should ask for?
[10:18.16]W: You can ask for me, Susan Davidson.
[10:20.68]Or ask my assistant Bill Brown,
[10:23.52]if I'm not available when you are here.
[10:25.71]M: Thanks so much for your help. I'll be there this Friday afternoon.
[10:29.52]W: Glad that I can help. You are welcome! Bye-bye!
[10:32.93]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[10:39.78]23. Why does the man call the woman?
[11:00.00]24. Where does the man live?
[11:18.29]25. Why does the woman suggest that the man visit her office in the afternoon?
