[00:06.33]Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension
[00:09.72]Section A
[00:11.47]Directions: In this section,
[00:14.32]you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations.
[00:18.69]At the end of each conversation,
[00:21.31]one or more questions will be asked about what was said.
[00:24.92]Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once.
[00:29.30]After each question there will be a pause.
[00:32.80]During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D),
[00:39.47]and decide which is the best answer.
[00:41.88]Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2
[00:45.82]with a single line through the centre.
[00:48.88]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.
[00:53.47]11. W: This has to be the hottest day we’ve had so far this summer.
[00:59.49]M: You can say that again. I’ve never suffered so much from the heat,
[01:03.76]I really want to stay inside the room and do nothing.
[01:07.26]Q: What can we conclude from the man’s words?
[01:24.11]12.M: What should we do tonight? Watch TV or listen to music?
[01:30.23]W: There is a huge sale at the shopping mall in Baker Street.
[01:33.94]It was just opened yesterday.
[01:35.70]Q: What does the woman mean?
[01:53.28]13. M: I have too many courses this semester.
[01:58.86]I’m going to have to drop one of them.
[02:00.94]W: In order to do that you have to go through the proper channels.
[02:04.74]Q: What advice does the woman give the man?
[02:23.31]14. M: I wonder whether it will be possible
[02:27.24]to change this double-room to two single rooms.
[02:30.20]W: Sorry, sir. All the single rooms are occupied.
[02:33.37]But if you like I can check with Imperial Hotel to see if it has any.
[02:38.51]Q: What is the woman going to do for the man?
[02:55.40]15.W: I guess I’ll send Mary a postcard from Hawaii
[03:02.40]when I go there on my vacation.
[03:04.37]M: I’m sure that she’d be glad to get one.
[03:06.78]She has a collection of cards from all over the world.
[03:09.62]Q: What do we learn about Mary?
[03:25.37]16. W: Why are you giving me a speeding ticket?
[03:30.73]I was going at 40 miles per hour.
[03:33.57]M: Can’t you see the notice nearby? It reads “10 mph limits”.
[03:37.95]Q: What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
[03:56.30]17. W: The weather is terribly hot.
[04:01.33]Shall we go to the beach for the vacation for the coming holiday?
[04:04.83]M: Oh, why? There are so many museums, art galleries and restaurants in Washington,
[04:10.52]I’d be happy there no matter what the weather is like.
[04:13.69]Q: What does the man mean?
[04:30.26]18. W: Jack seems to have a fancy for paintings.
[04:36.28]On the walls of his bedroom, there are so many famous pictures.
[04:40.22]Some of them are priceless.
[04:42.08]M: However, he does not like visiting the art museum
[04:45.25]because he considers it a noisy place.
[04:47.65]Q: What can we conclude about Jack from the conversation?
[05:05.77]Now you'll hear two long conversations.
[05:09.82]Conversation One
[05:12.23]W: Kevin, You are having another cup of coffee? That’s your third since lunch.
[05:18.58]M: Yeah. Well, I stayed up all night reviewing for my history exam.
[05:22.73]I couldn’t keep my eyes open in my last class.
[05:25.68]I’m having this coffee so I can stay awake this afternoon.
[05:29.29]W: Don’t you know that drinking too much coffee is harmful?
[05:32.68]M: What do you mean harmful?
[05:34.76]W: Well, for one thing it may cause heart disease.
[05:37.82]M: But most of the research about the link between coffee and the heart disease
[05:42.53]is not so persuasive. The conclusion is not so definite.
[05:46.13]W: But coffee has caffeine, which is addictive.
[05:49.53]M: You can’t become addicted to caffeine like other drugs.
[05:52.92]W: En, you can. Don’t you know that people who are deprived of caffeine
[05:58.06]suffer with symptoms, especially, headaches?
[06:01.01]M: One cure for headaches, oddly enough, is caffeine.
[06:04.40]Haven’t you ever noticed that many drugs for curing headache
[06:07.79]use caffeine as one of their ingredients? Besides, coffee helps me work faster.
[06:13.05]W: Studies have shown that coffee makes you work faster but not necessarily better.
[06:18.40]You may finish your exam in a shorter period of time but you won’t have fewer errors.
[06:24.86]M: You know, that Coca-Cola you are drinking has caffeine in it too.
[06:28.80]W: But 12 ounces of coke has only half the caffeine of a 5 ounces cup of coffee.
[06:35.03]And a cup of tea has less than that.
[06:38.31]M: But I like the taste of coffee.
[06:40.72]W: You could drink decaf, which has much less caffeine.
[06:44.54]M: Decaf doesn’t have as much flavor as regular coffee.
[06:47.93]Besides I want something that will keep me alert in class.
[06:51.65]W: Well, you are stubborn.
[06:53.73]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you've just heard.
[07:00.08]19. What is the conversation mainly about?
[07:20.35]20. What is the man’s problem?
[07:39.33]21. What does the man say research shows about coffee?
[07:59.84]22. What does the woman probably think about coffee?
[08:20.02]Conversation Two
[08:21.33]W: Hi, Kevin. Your roommate told me
[08:24.72]that I could find you at the TV. What are you doing here?
[08:28.00]M: What does it look like I am doing?
[08:30.19]W: Well, it looks like you are watching television.
[08:32.82]But we have a math mid-term tomorrow,
[08:35.44]so I thought you’d be studying for it and maybe I can study with you.
[08:39.16]M: Oh, well, I was just taking a break.
[08:41.79]This math stuff gives me a headache if I work on it too long.
[08:45.51]You know I don’t really like it.
[08:47.58]W: I know what you mean.
[08:48.90]I’ve been working on it for three hours through it already.
[08:53.05]I’m beginning to get across.
[08:54.91]I was trying to figure out some of the sample problems.
[08:59.07]I just don’t get some of them.
[09:01.26]M: But I can’t believe you are coming to me.
[09:03.88]I mean you do know what I got on the last test, don’t you?
[09:07.82]W: Yeah, I know. You told me. I just thought two heads might be better than one.
[09:13.17]M: Yeah, that’s a nice idea. but...you know,
[09:16.13]I wish I knew that person in our class who got a hundred on the last test.
[09:20.61]She didn’t miss a question. umm...was it Elizabeth?
[09:25.54]W: Oh yeah, Elizabeth! She is a friend of mine.
[09:29.48]She’d be a big help right now. Why don’t I give her a call?
[09:33.85]M: What! At this hour? It’s already ten thirty. I don't want to impose on her.
[09:38.99]W: Yeah, I guess you are right. But you know what;
[09:42.93]she owes me a big favor. Let’s at least give her a call and see what she says.
[09:48.18]Maybe going over some of the problems with us would help her review the material.
[09:53.21]M: It’s worth a try.
[09:54.85]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you've just heard.
[10:01.63]23. What are the speakers mainly discussing?
[10:22.26]24. Why is the man watching television?
[10:40.48]25. Why doesn’t the man want to call Elizabeth?
