Part III Listing Comprehension (35 minutes)
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 2 with a single line though the centre.
1. W: I need to go across town, but the traffic is so heavy this time of day.
M: When you take the subway, you don't have to deal with traffic. I never drive any more.
Q: What does the man imply?
2. M: I've got two tickets to today's game. Do you want to come along?
W: It'll be on television. Besides, it's really too cold for me.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
3. M: Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to the post office?
W: Your guess is as good as mine. I'm new around here.
Q: What does the woman mean?
4. M: We’ve been having so much rain recently, haven’t we?
W: That’s far from enough though, since we had such a long dry summer.
Q: What can we understand from the conversation?
5. M: Susan, can you help me with that load of files?
W: I’ll deal with that for you, but not now. Right now, I have a phone call to answer and a piece of email to forward.
Q: Where does this conversation probably take place?
6. M: Look at all those clouds! It was still shining an hour ago.
W: Poor me, what should I do with all those laundries?
Q: Why is the woman complaining about the weather?
7. M: I have recently been doing a project about banana growing.
W: Banana growing? I thought you said my project was boring.
Q: What can we learn from the conversation?
8. W: Did you enjoy the lecture last night?
M: To tell you the truth, I’d rather I had stayed in the dormitory like you.
Q: What’s the probable relationship between the two speakers?
Now you will hear two longer conversations.
Conversation One
M: Hello, can I come in?
W: Oh, yes, how can I help you?
M: I’m a new student on Economics, and I was wondering if someone could give me some information about the courses.
W: Well, I might be .able to help. I lecture on that program. What do you need to know?
M: I’d like to know how many lectures a week do I have to attend?
W: Ah, well, the Economics course is a double unit so there are two lectures a week. The lectures are scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday(No.19). Besides, there’s one group discussion every week, which will be held on every Friday.
M: So what time?
W: Let me see…You know this information is all in the handout which you should have received yesterday, at the orientation meeting for the new students.
M: Oh, was there a meeting yesterday? I didn’t know about that …no one mentioned…(No.20)
W: Yes, there was, but never mind. Now lectures are at four in the afternoon.
M: Four’s bit late.(No.22) I’ve got a part time job that starts at four thirty.
W: Well you can’t be in two places at once, can you, and attendance at lectures is necessary. We expect at least 80% attendance at this university, you know.
M: 80%! That’s high.
W: But I’m afraid you have to meet that requirement, otherwise, you can’t get enough credits to graduate. And what’s more, if you want to earn the scholarship, 90% attendance rate or above is a must.(No.21)
M: Ok, I see, though it’ll be difficult. Anyway, thank you for your information.
W: You’re welcome.
Questions 19 to 22 are based on the long conversation you’ve just heard.
19. How many Economics lectures will the man attend every week?
20. Why did the man miss the orientation meeting for the new students yesterday?
21. If a student wants to earn the schola
