Part B Passages
Directions: In Part 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.
Life would be extremely difficult if we had no fire, but it can be dangerous as well. Today is November 9. It’s time for us to learn a lot about fire, especially what to do if we are caught in fire.
1. Shout out
If you smell or see fire, shout out “Fire!” Shout as loudly as you can, because people may be asleep.
2. Call 119
Never try to put out the fire yourself, even if it is a very small one! Get help from your parents or call 119.
3. Keep down close to the floor
If there is a lot of smoke in your room, keep down to the floor.
4. Test the door
Test the door before you open it. If the door is cool, open it carefully. If the door is hot, do not open it! Try to find a different way out.
5. Get out
If you can, get out of your home as soon as possible.
6. Don’t use the lift
Never use the lift during the fire. It may also go wrong.
7. Don’t go back
Never go back into a burning building!
(Now listen again, please!)
Questions:
11. What does the speaker mainly talk about?
12.Why shouldn’t you use the lift when fire breaks out?
13.What is not mentioned by the speaker?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
A beautiful woman and a man were involved in a car accident. Both of their cars were badly damaged, but neither of them was hurt.
After they came out of their cars, the woman said, "So you're a man. That's interesting. I' m a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! But we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days."
"Oh, yes," the man replied, "I agree with you completely! This must be a sign from God!" The woman continued, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is seriously damaged but this bottle of wine hasn't broken. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good luck." Then she handed the bottle to the man. The man nodded his head, opened it and drank half the bottle and then handed it back to the woman. The woman took the bottle and immediately put the cap back on, and handed it back to the man.
The man asked, "Aren't you having any?" The woman replied, "No, I think I'll just wait for the police to come..."
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
14. What will be the possible result?
15. What do you think of the woman?
16. Why did the woman hand the man the bottle again at last?

Section C: Longer Conversations
Directions: In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. Each conversation will be read twice. After you hear the conversation, you are required to fulfill the task by filling in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard.
Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
W: I’d like to send this parcel to Sydney, Australia.
M: Certainly. Could you put it on the scales? I have to weigh it first.
W: Sure. It’s not very heavy. What is the postage?
M: That’s 750 grams. The cost depends on how you would like to send it.
W: I see. I suppose airmail is faster and more expensive than ordinary mail.
M: That’s right. Sending it by airmail will cost twelve dollars and ordinary mail will cost eight dollars.
W: How long will it take to get there?
M: Airmail should take four or five days and ordinary mail should take about two weeks.
W: In that case, I’ll send it by airmail. I’d like to send it as a registered parcel.
M: No problem. That’s one dollar extra.
W: Thanks very much. There’s thirteen dollars.
M: Your receipt. Goodbye.
(Now listen again, please.)

Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.
W: I see on your resume that you worked as a manager of Computer Country. Could you tell me a little more about your responsibilities there?
M: Sure. I was responsible for the whole sales department. We have about 40 employees.
W: What was the most difficult part of your job?
M: Probably handling angry customers. We didn’t have them very often, but when we did, I needed to make sure they were well taken care of. After all, the customer is always right.
W: That’s how we feel, too. How long did you work there?
M: I was there nearly 15 years and I left the company last month.
W: So tell me, why are you interested in this particular position?
M: I know that your company has a great reputation and wonderful products. I have thought many times that I would like to be a part of it. When I heard about the opening in Liston, I jumped on the opportunity.
