Test 1

Part A

Directions: You are going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers. Each will be read only once. After each conversation, a question will be asked about what you have heard. Listen once and choose the right answer to the question you hear. (8 points) 1.M: You like music, don’t you, Sally?

W: Yes. Classical and light music. But now what you hear everywhere is only noisy music.

I can’t stand it.

Q: What does the woman mean?

2.W: I think I’ll wear my red blouse to the party tonight.

M: Why don’t you wear the blue one? I think you look in better in it.

Q: What does the man mean?

3.W: How do you like the pie you’ve had?

M: Never have I had such a delicious pie.

Q: What does the man mean?

4.W: Oh, Peter. I’m hungry. I can’t walk any further.

M: How about getting something to eat in the restaurant just round the corner by the

parking lot?

Q: Where are the two speakers?

5.W: Nice day, isn’t it? Want to join us for a swim?

M: Would you mind waiting for a minute while I get prepared?

Q: What does the woman mean?

6.W: Hi, Tony. Haven’t seen you for some time. How have you been?

M: I have a car accident last week, but only some minor injuries.

Q: What happened to Tony?

7.W: Maggie, could you forward this mail to Professor Wang?

M: Sorry, Phil. My computer has broken down. But I’ll do it as soon as I have it fixed.

Q: What does the woman mean?

8.W: I’ve been under the weather for quite a few days. I thought my cold was going away.

But it seems to get worse now.

M: You’ve been complaining too much. Why didn’t you make an appointment with the doctor earlier?

Q: What does the man mean?

Part B

Directions: You’ll hear two conversations. Each will be read once. Listen carefully and choose the right answers to the questions you hear. (7 points)

Conversation 1

Alan: Are you going to the football game today, Betty?

Betty: No, Alan. But I’ll be watching it on television with some friends.

Alan: Weren’t you able to get any tickets?

Betty: I didn’t try. I really don’t go to games so often.

Alan: But don’t you enjoy going? Don’t you find it exciting to be part of the crowd?

Betty: Oh, that’s for sure. Nothing beats the atmosphere at a sporting event: the cheering, all that energy. But sometimes it’s just too inconvenient getting into and out of the stadium before and after the game. And if you watch the game with friends, or at a bar or restaurant…

Alan: …you’ve basically created your own crowd.

Betty: That’s right. Another reason why I like to watch games on television is that I simply find it easier to follow the action on TV.

Alan: Yeah, sometimes it is a little difficult to keep track of the ball when you’re sitting in the stands.

Betty: Especially when your seats are high up in the grandstand and far from the field. Alan: It’s like you’re watching from an airplane, sometimes.

Betty: Also, good sports commentators on television can add to your understanding and enjoyment of the game.

Alan: After listening to you, I’m starting to wonder how they are able to sell any tickets to these games!

Questions 9 to 12 are based on the conversation you’ve just heard.

9.What do you know about the two speakers?

10.What are the two speakers talking about?

11.Why does Betty prefer to watch games on TV?

Conversation 2

W: OK, everyone. Please be quiet. Today we’re so pleased to have Tom Johnson here to talk to us. He is going to share some safety tips with us. OK, Tom, they’re all yours. Tom: Thanks. Good morning everyone! I’m Tom Johnson, and I’m a firefighter at Station 11.

Well, we live in California. As we know there are a lot of earthquakes here. Many are small. But, if there’s a strong earthquake, what should we do? Does anyone know? Girl: I know! I know! Get under a strong piece of furniture—like a desk or a table.

Tom: That’s right. What else?

Boy: Move away from the windows. They are so dangerous because they can break. Tom: Good, good. What about after an earthquake then? What should you do?

Boy: Well, we shouldn’t use matches.

Tom: Why not?

Boy: Because many terrible fires start after an earthquake.

Girl: Yeah, and when the shaking stops, don’t go outside.

Tom: Exactly. A lot of people run to the stores for food and water after an earthquake. But it’s not safe. It’s better to stay indoors.

Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you’ve heard.

13.What is the speaker talking about?
