Part II Listening Comprehension

Section A

Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause. During the pause, you must read the four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the centre. Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.

1.

W: You've been traveling all your life. When are you going to settle down?

M: Who knows? Perhaps if I find a place I really like. But you know the grass is always greener on the other side. Q: What does the man imply?

2.

M: According to your resume, you don't have much experience in advertising.

W: That's not quite true. My father was an advertising consultant and he gave me a fairly thorough introduction to the business.

Q: What's the relationship between the woman and the man?

3.

M: I heard that your house was on fire last Sunday. That must have been quite an experience.

W: You're right! It's lucky my daughter was still awake, studying. Her screaming woke us all up. The house was already in flames by then.

Q: What are the speakers talking about?

4.

W: I saw you at the visiting scholar's lecture yesterday. I didn't know you are interested in behavior modification. M: I am not, but my psychology professor gives us six credits for going. Sure I really need it.

Q: What does the man mean?

5.

M: I still can't get over the show last Saturday evening. I keep having frightening dreams all night.

W: So, next time before you walk into a theater, make sure you know what you are going to see.

Q: What can we infer from the conversation?

6.

M: I see your roommate Jane's editor of the newspaper this year.

W: Editor, yes. But you'd never know she was my roommate. I’ve hardly seen her since the beginning of the term. She might as well move her bed over to the newspaper office.

Q: What does the woman imply?

7.

W: Why don't we go out to lunch today and visit some friends?

M: And miss today's football game? Washington and Los Angeles are playing and this will be one of the best games of the year.

Q: What will the man probably do?

8.

W: The supermarket down the street is selling everything half price because they are going out of business.

M: Sounds like an ideal time to stock up on coffee.

Q: What will the man probably do? Now you'll hear the two long conversations.

Conversation One

M: Today time has gone by so quickly! Do you estimate how long a job will take?
