  M: Oh, I’m terribly sorry about that. I’ll deal with it right away.

  Q: What’s the most probable relationship between the two speakers?

2. M: Excuse me, do you know where I can find pencil boxes?

W: Yes, they are on the next floor, the stationery department.

Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place?

3. M: Do you know whatMike does to support his family?

　W: He used to work in an agency, but now he is self-employed.

　Q: What does the woman say about Mike?

4. M: Hello. This is David Smith. I have an appointment with Doctor Jones for 10 o’clock, but I’m afraid I’ll have to be about 20 minutes late.

  W: That’s all right, Mr Smith. Doctor Jones doesn’t have another appointment until 11 o’clock.

  Q: When will Doctor Jones most probably meet Mr Smith?

5. M:Whata pity! Jack failed to win that science award at last.

W: I can’t believe it! I thought for sure he would.

Q: How does the woman feel on hearing the news?

6. W: I’ll send Jason a postcard from Egypt when I go there on my vacation.

M: I’m sure he’ll be very glad to get it. He has a collection of postcards from different countries.

Q: What can be learned from the conversation?

7. M: Do you want to go on a trip with us to New Zealand this spring? It will cost about 5,000 dollars a person.

8. M: I don’t know whether Keven favors the new car or not.

Section B

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages and onelonger conversation. After each passage or conversation, you will be asked several questions. The passages and the conversation 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.

Community service is an important part of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called “One on One” helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English.

You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.

Professor Green will act as mentor to the tutors—he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.

I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service and you are sure to gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on yourrésumé, too—showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by professor Green’s office this week. 

Questions:

11. What is the main purpose of this talk?

12. What is the function of the program mentioned in the passage?

13. What does professor Green do according to the passage?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the followingpassage.

Increasingly, over the past ten years, people — especially young people — have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed foods, is not good for the health.Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods: foods which do not contain chemical additives and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers widely used in farming today.

Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic matters. In simple terms, this means that the soil has been enriched by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount — but not the quality — of foods grown in commercial farming areas.

Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy farms. Compare this with what happens in the mass production of animals like chickens: there are battery farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food; they also produce eggs which lack important vitamins.

Questions:

14. Why have people become more interested in natural foods?

15. Which of the following statements is TRUE of natural foods?

16. What can be inferred about chickens on battery farms according to the passage?

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.

M: Well, Shirley, now that we’ve seen the three apartments, which one do you like best?

W: I don’t know, Brad. I know one thing. I didn’t like the one on the 68th Street.

M: Neither did I. Let’s cross that one off. That leaves the 72nd Street one and the 80th Street one.

W: The one on the 80th Street has a better view, and a very cheerful kitchen.

M: Yes, and I like the carpeting in the hall. It was clean. But there was no good place to put a desk.

W: That’s true. You should always put it in a corner of the living room, but then you wouldn’t have any privacy, and the bedroom was too small.

M: Right. And I do need to be able to leave my work out on the desk without having it looked into by visitors.

W: Oh, Brad, we don’t have that kind of visitors! But I do agree the desk shouldn’t be in the living room. It is a constant reminder of unfinished work. What about the 72nd Street apartment? It has a dining area. We could eat in the kitchen, and put the desk in the dining area. It’s more private there.

M: Yes, that sounds OK. Only, what I didn’t like about that place was the west window. It gets quite hot in the late afternoon with the sun beating down on the window.

W: Didn’t you notice the air conditioner?

M: No. Was there one?

W: Yes. And we could improve on the curtains, too.

M: That place did have the best parking facilities of the three.

W: Yes. I think that apartment is best for your needs. There’s good parking, and there’s a semi-private area for your desk. That takes care of the daily activities.

M: OK. Let’s take that one.

Questions:

17. Why did Brad and Shirley give up the apartment on the 68th Street?

18. According to the man, what is wrong with the west window of the 72nd Street apartment?

19. Which considerations are crucial in Brad and Shirley’s choice of an apartment?

20. Which apartment do the speakers decide to rent?
