Part B: Listening Comprehension
1. Statements
Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear several short statements. These statements will be spoken ONLY ONCE, and you will not find them written on the paper; so you must listen carefully. When you hear a statement, read the answer choices and decide which one is closest in meaning to the statement you have heard. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSER BOOKLET.
Question1.
This report is urgent. I have to finish typing it by Monday morning. So there goes my sleep this weekend.
Question2.
What this office needs is better sound proofing. I can’t concentrate here with all that traffic passing by on the street below.
Question3.
Learning a language is a laborious process and adjusting to the subtle cultural differences require much more time and patience than anyone can imagine.
Question4.
If you can talk your boss into investing in that project, it will be a turning point for your company, and we both shall benefit in the long run.
Question5.
I’m afraid we’ve undercharged them. The invoice does not include the legal fee and our agency commission. I think we need to inform them of this immediately.
Question6.
Being bilingual or multilingual can be an advantage in landing a job abroad, although fluency in other languages is not always a requirement.
Question7.
I believe our proposal is a real contender for the contract. All we need to do is to work ourselves into position to close the deal.
Question8.
We must prepare the ground for the deeper understanding of our differences and problems. Only through a share view of our problems, shall we be able to carry our collaboration forward.
Question9.
Given the size of the order and the amount of heavy expenses on our side, anything less than a 10% discount is not worth the trouble.
Question10.
Working burns calories. It takes about 3500 calories to lose just one pound of weight. And a one-hour walk at a moderate pace will burn up only 300 to 350 calories.
