Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

5.

M: You must have left the camera in the market. It’s a very expensive camera you know.

Q: What does the woman say about the camera?

6.

W: There is a good comedy on at the theatre Royal next Saturday. If you like, I can book four seats for us.

Q: What does the woman suggest they do next Saturday?

7.

Conversation One

W: Can I help you?

M: Well. I’ m not sure. I hope so. (9) You see, actually, I’m getting married soon. And my friends want to buy me presents and things.

W: And would you like some things for the kitchen.

M: Yes, that’s right. I thought if I could find out things about kitchen things. They would be the best sorts of presents.

W: Well. I suppose the first thing you need is a cooker. Do you like an electron one or a gas one?

M: Hm. I think I probably prefer a gas one. But cookers are very expensive. Aren’t they? How much is this one?

W: It’s 175 pounds, including tax and delivery. It’s a very good one though.

M: But It’s a lot of money, isn’t it? What sorts of things could I ask people to buy? You know, cheaper.

W: Well. You need some pans, won’t you? A set of pans, I suppose, and drying pans. Do you like cooking?

M: Yes. I suppose so.

W: Well. (10) In that case, you might like a mixer. If you make cakes and things like that, it’ll save you a lot of time. And a blender too. That’s good if you make soup and things.

M: Hm. That’s a thought.

W: Something else you might use is a set of these knifes, you know, carving knifes, bread knifes, steak knifes, fruit knifes, potato peeling knifes.

M: (11) Heavens! I never knew so many sorts.

W: Oh, Yeah. Come over here and I’ll show you some more.

M: What’s up? Anyway, I’ll be glad to help you with anything I can.

W: Some advice, Mr. Minesuka. (12) I’ve been offered a new job.

M: A new job?

W: As a matter of fact, it isn’t the bank in New York.

M: It’s the offer from another bank?

W: It’s from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development in Washington.

M: (13) You mean the World Bank?

W: (13) That’s right. And it’s really very unexpected, I might say.

M: You’ve established reputation in international banking circles. May I ask what kind of position they’ve offered you?

W: A rather important one, as a matter of fact, deputy director of the International Finance Corporation.

M: (14) Isn’t that the part of the Bank that makes loans to private companies in the developing countries?

W: (14) Yes, it is. It’s a job that certainly offers a chance for public service.

M: It seems to me that it’s a real honor for you.

W: Yes, it is. But I’ve been with this bank for so many years, ever since I graduated from college, in fact.

M: (15) But it’s an honor for the bank too, for the training and experience it’s given you.

W: Yes, I suppose I can think of it that way.

M: Then you’ve decided to accept the offer?

W: Probably, yes, almost certainly. I’d like to think I can do some work that will contribute to international corporation and understanding.

Section B

Directions: In this section, you will hear3 shortpassages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Boththe passage and thequestions will be spoken only once. After you hear aquestion, you must choose the best answerfrom the four choices marked A), B),C), and D).Then mark the corresponding letter on AnswerSheet 1with a singleline through the centre.

Passage One

Good transportation is very important in winter. (16) If you have a car, make sure it is readyfor the cold weather. Keep the gas tank as nearly full as you can. This will keep water out of thetank and will be a reserve in case you get into trouble. (17) If a storm traps you in your car, there are some steps you should take for your own safety. Do not tend to walk to find help. Youmay quickly lose your way in blowing and drifting snow. Your chances of being found are betterif you stay in your car. Keep a downwind window open slightly for fresh air. Freezing rain canseal off your car and lock you inside. Run the engine and heater once in a while. Keep the samedownwind window open while the engine is running. Make sure that snow has not blocked theexhaust pipe. Clap your hands and move your arms and legs from time to time. Do not stay inone position too long. But, do not move too much. (18) Exercise warms you up, but it alsocauses you to lose body heat. If more than one person is in the car, do not sleep at the sametime. One person should always be awake. If you are alone, stay awake as long as you can. Turnon the inside light at night. This would make your car more visible to rescue crews. Don’tpanic. Stay with your car.

Q16 What does the speaker say you should do in winter with your car?

Q17 What should you avoid doing if a storm traps you in the car?

Q18 Why is too much exercise undesirable when you are trapped in a car by a winter storm?

Passage Two

The topic of my talk today is gift-giving. Everybody likes to receive gifts, right? So you maythink that gift-giving is a universal custom, but actually the rules of gift-giving vary quite alot. And not knowing them can result in great embarrassment. In North America the rules arefairly simple. If you are invited to someone’s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers, or a smallitem from your country. (19) Among friends, family and business associates, we generally don’tgive gifts on other occasions except on someone’s birthday and Christmas. The Japanese, onother hand, give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone for their kindness. Thetradition of gift-giving in Japan is very ancient. (20) There are many detailed rules foreverything, from the color of the wrapping paper to the time of the gift presentation. Andwhile Europeans don’t generally exchange business gifts, they do follow some formal customswhen visiting homes, such as bringing flowers. The type and color of flowers, however, cancarryspecial meaning. Today, we have seen some broad differences in gift-giving. I could go on withadditional examples, but let’s not miss the main point here. (21) If we are not aware of andsensitive to cultural differences, the possibilities for miscommunication and conflict areenormous. Whether we learn about these differences by reading a book or by living abroad, our goal must be to respect differences among people in order to get along successfully with ourglobal neighbors.

Q19 What does the speaker say about gift-giving of North Americans?

Q20 What do we learn about the Japanese concerning gift-giving?

Q21 What point does the speaker make at the end of the talk?

Passage Three

Claudette Rigo is a reporter for a French newspaper. Her assignment for the last five years hasbeen Washington and American politics. She reports the current political news for her paper.

In addition, she writes the column that is published every week. (22) The column explainsAmerican politics to her readers in France. They often find it very difficult to understand theUnited States and Americans. Claudette lives in a small house in a fashionable section ofWashington. She entertains a great deal. Her guests are usually government officials, diplomats, lawyers and other newspaper people. When she isn’t entertaining, she goes out todinners and parties. In spite of her busy social life, Claudette works very hard. The parties arereally work for her, because reporters frequently get news stories just by talking and listening topeople. Claudette also has a small office in the building downtown. She goes there everymorning to write up her stories and send them to Paris. (23) Her column is published everyMonday, so she usually spends a large part of the weekend working on it at home. (24) Claudette spends a month in France every year, so that she won’t forget how to speak French. In spite ofall of her experience in Washington, Claudette may be transferred. This is anelection year in the United States when the people elect a new president. (25) When theelection is over, Claudette thinks that her newspaper in Pairs may change her assignment.

Q22 What do we learn about the column Claudette writes?

Q23 What does Claudette usually do on weekends?

Q24 Why does Claudette spend a month in France every year?

Q25 What might happen to Claudette after this year’s American presidential election?

Section C

Directions: In this section, you will heara passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you shouldlisten carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the secondtime, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have justheard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should checkwhat you have written.

Now listen to the passage.

Tests may be the most unpopular part ofacademic life. Students hate them because they produce fear and anxiety aboutbeing evaluated, and focus on grades instead of learning for learning’s sake.

But tests are also valuable. Awell-constructed test identifies what you know and what you still need tolearn. Tests help you see how your performance compares to that of others. Andknowing that you’ll be tested on a body of material is certainly likely tomotivate you to learn the material more thoroughly.

However, there’s another reason you mightdislike tests: You may assume that tests have the power to define your worth asa person. If you do badly on a test, you may be tempted to believe that you’vereceived some fundamental information about yourself from the professor, informationthat says you’re a failure in some significant way.

This is a dangerous—andwrong-headed—assumption. If you do badly on a test, it doesn’t mean you are abad person or stupid. Or that you’ll never do better again, and that your lifeis ruined. If you don’t do well on a test, you’re the same person you werebefore you took the test — no better, no worse. You just did badly on a test.That’s it.

In short, tests are not a measure of yourvalue as an individual — they are a measure only of how well and how much youstudied. Tests are tools; they are indirect and imperfect measures of what weknow.
