Model Test 1

Section A

11. W: I’m a little worried about Jill. She’s got a bad cold yet she insists on practicing every day. M: I know. I really think she should take it easy until she’s over it.

Q: What does the man suggest Jill do?

12. W: Is there anything I can do for you?

M: Well, I’d like to buy some socks and a whit shirt with short sleeves, please.

Q: What is the most probable relationship between the two speakers?

13. M: Your hair looks lovely. Did you style it yourself?

W: I wish I ha d, but I can’t do it this way. My neighbor gave me the name of a new salon.

Q: Who fixed the woman’s hair?

14. M: I think I’ll add that information to my paper.

W: You really should check it out in your reference book before you publish your paper.

Q: What does the woman imply?

15. W: Have you made any plans yet for summer vacation, Brad?

M: Not really. What I’d like to be able to do is to find a decent job.

Q: What does Brad mean?

16. W: I love your new sofa. But why don’t you put it over there under the window?

M: Oh, but the plants are doing well on the table there.

Q: What does the man imply?

17. W: The drama club is holding auditions for their annual play--- it’s a musical. What do you think?

M: To tell you the truth, I don’t really act or sing, but th anks for thinking of me.

Q: What does the man mean?

18. W: These family reunions are complicated. Could you pick Mark up from the airport? I’m on a tight schedule today.

M: OK, but then let’s switch. I’m supposed to pick Sarah up tomorrow.

Q: What does the woman mean?

Conversation One

M: How do you do, Miss Brown? Do you mind if I ask you some questions about your job?

W: Of course not. Go ahead.

M: You’ve been working in a university before, haven’t you?

W: Yes, in Britain, yes.

M: What, em, how do students go about getting jobs when they graduate?

W: Well, most universities have a Careers Advice Service. I used to know the people in the Careers Service in Newcastle University and they, in fact, seem fairly successful in finding jobs for students. They are able to get jobs for 30%-40% of new graduates.

M: That seems a fairly low percentage.

W: Em…well…it’s not if you consider the various other options which people take up. For example, there are a fair number of people who go into further study, who carry straight on into master’s degree. So that’s a fair chunk. Then there are others, a second group of people who decide not to take a career job immediately after university. Instead, they decide to take time off, maybe see the world. And there is a third gro up, those people who can’t actually get the jobs they want immediately, and who may take something else in the meanwhile, while tey wait for a job they really want. So when I say 30%-40% find jobs through the Careers Service, that doesn’t mean that only that number find job. A lot of other people find jobs through the newspapers.

M: So it is quite high really, yes?

W: Oh, I think so, relatively, yes.

Conversation Two

M: Susan, I could really need your help this weekend.

W: What is it, John? Another term paper?

M: No, no. This is easy compared with that. My cousin is coming on Thursday. She has an interview at the college and I promised my aunt I would look after her. We are going to the game on Friday, but Saturday I’m on duty at the library all day and can’t get out of it. Uh, I was wondering if you could show her around during the day and maybe we can all meet for dinner later.

W: Sure. I don’t have any plans. What kind of things does she like to do?

M: Actually I haven’t seen her for three years. She lives so far away. But this will be her first time on a college campus. She is still in high school, so she’d probably enjoy anything on campus.
