[00:01.94]test 3
[00:03.29]Section A
[00:04.52]Now let's begin with the 8 short conversations.
[00:07.80]11.M: You have been getting back from lunch later everyday.
[00:11.80]Is that when you do your shopping?
[00:13.73]W: No, I spend most of my lunch hour at the library,
[00:17.11]but it's so quiet that I fall asleep.
[00:19.75]Q: What did the man think the woman ought to do?
[00:38.10]12.M: You've been here three years.
[00:40.80]Have you had much of a chance to travel?
[00:43.16]W: Not much.
[00:44.21]Last year I planned to go to Yellow Stone Park in December,
[00:47.59]but I had to postpone1 the trip.
[00:49.53]Then a few months later, I finally made it there.
[00:52.62]Q: When did the woman go to Yellow Stone?
[01:10.28]13.W: Did you turn off the lights and
[01:12.79]check the locks on all doors and windows?
[01:15.52]M: Yes, I told our next door neighbor we'd be gone for two weeks.
[01:19.12]They promised to keep an eye on the house for us.
[01:21.76]Q: What are they going to do?
[01:39.00]14.M: Excuse me, madam. How do I get to the post office?
[01:43.59]W: Go for four blocks down Brown Bonlevard and
[01:47.12]turn right onto Third Avenue, go straight for two more blocks
[01:51.02]and it's the big building on the right.
[01:53.31]Q: What street is the post office on?
[02:10.88]15.M: I wish you had told me your holiday plans.
[02:15.29]W: I'm sorry.
[02:16.20]I thought you knew I go to my aunt's place every summer.
[02:19.49]Q: Why is he upset?
[02:36.40]16.M: While you are at the library,
[02:38.91]would you get the books on this list for me?
[02:41.39]W: I'll look them up, Fred, and tell you which ones are in,
[02:44.59]but I don't want to take them out with my card.
[02:47.86]Q: What will Mary say she will do?
[03:05.80]17.W: Tom is very nervous.
[03:09.15]Just yesterday he received his doctor degree and
[03:11.76]in a few minutes he will be putting the ring on Sally's finger.
[03:15.29]M: He was also very happy. For Sally is a lovely bride.
[03:18.75]And tonight they are to Hawaii on their honeymoon2.
[03:21.99]Q: When did this conversation probably take place?
[03:40.65]18.M: I have only 10 dollars, is it enough for 3 tickets?
[03:45.05]W: Well, you can buy 3 $2 tickets,
[03:47.87]or 3 $3 tickets, whichever you prefer.
[03:51.47]M: I'll take the cheaper seats, place?
[03:53.69]Q: How much money will the man have after he buys the tickets?
[04:14.00]Now you'll hear two long conversations.
[04:17.47]Conversation One
[04:19.98]W: I'll show you around and explain the operation as we go along.
[04:23.58]M: That'll be most helpful.
[04:25.62]W: That is our office block.
[04:27.18]We have all the administrative3 departments there.
[04:30.31]Down there is the research and development section.
[04:33.40]M: How much do you spend on development every year?
[04:36.42]W: About 3-4% of the gross4 sales.
[04:39.86]M: What's that building opposite us?
[04:41.94]W: That's the warehouse5.
[04:43.25]We keep a stock of the faster moving items so that
[04:45.72]urgent orders can be met quickly from stock.
[04:49.39]M: If I placed an order now,
[04:50.96]how long would it be before I got delivery?
[04:54.09]W: It would largely depend on
[04:55.47]the size of the order and the items you want.
[04:58.49]M :How large is the plant?
[05:00.17]W: It covers an area of 75,000 square meters.
[05:04.75]M: It's much larger than I expected. When was the plant set up?
[05:08.53]W: In the early 70s.
[05:10.31]We'll soon be celebrating the 30th anniversary.
[05:13.04]M: Congratulations!
[05:14.10]W: Thank you.
[05:15.04]M: How many employees do you have in this plant?
[05:17.84]W: 500. We're running on three shifts.
[05:20.23]M: Does the plant work with everything
[05:21.65]from the raw material to the finished product?
[05:24.45]W: Our associates specializing in these fields make some accessories6.
[05:28.57]Well, here we're at the production shop. Shall we start with assembly line?
[05:32.71]M: That's fine.
[05:34.64]Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[05:40.82]19 .How much does the factory develop every year?
[05:59.38]20. How large is the plant?
[06:16.53]21. When was the plant set up?
[06:34.19]Conversation Two
[06:36.38]M: Oh, yes, I remember.
[06:38.05]We were conducting a survey into the,
[06:40.30]the needs of disabled people in the borough7 in which I work in London.
[06:44.49]And we got a request from an old man to go along and,
[06:47.40]and see him in connection with this survey.
[06:50.49]W: Got a real chip on his shoulder?
[06:52.67]M: Well, he was a really grumpy old man and not very likeable with it.
[06:56.90]But he was ... rather frail8 and in his eighties .
[07:00.67]W: He didn't tell you anything new about himself?
[07:03.55]M: After about half an hour he started.
[07:05.79]He said, “I, I expect you wonder why I've asked you to come back,”
[07:10.38]and I said, “Well, as a matter of fact, yes I do.”
[07:14.16]So he said, “Well, I think I should tell you
[07:17.04]a bit about myself and perhaps explain why I,
[07:20.20]I seem to have a chip on my shoulder,”
[07:22.89]which took me aback, he had come from a,
[07:24.98]family which was ... really quite well to do
[07:28.80]but not spectacularly9 rich and his father had a,
[07:33.16]a small grocery business and
[07:35.39]had supported his mother and, and his two sisters.
[07:39.71]W: He really built the whole thing up.
[07:42.05]M: Well yes. He didn't become a multimillionaire,
[07:45.50]but he was certainly very comfortably off.
[07:48.26]One of his sisters got married and the other sister
[07:51.06]emigrated to Australia but he himself never, never married.
[07:56.19]W: He just stayed in the house by himself?
[07:58.89]M: He stayed in this house
[08:00.48]which had been the family house for a number of years.
[08:04.47]Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[08:10.62]22. What is the topic of the survey according to the conversation?
[08:30.05]23. When the old man was a child,
[08:32.92]how many people were there in his family?
[08:49.69]24. What's the profession of the man and the woman?
[09:08.06]25. Which fact is not true about the old man?
[09:28.10]Section B
[09:30.07]Passage One
[09:32.18]The office and small factory of Belton and Son,
[09:35.89]makers of Butifix furniture and especially of armchairs and tables,
[09:40.91]were at Number 7, in a street of old fashioned houses
[09:44.77]standing10 behind ornamental11 railings.
[09:47.33]The street of old fashioned houses standing behind ornamental railings.
[09:52.10]The street was full of traffic, and dust flew into one's eyes from the road.
[09:56.98]The doorstep of Number 7 was the only clean white one on the street.
[10:01.78]I had imagined I was going to work in a large factory,
[10:04.91]where hundreds of workers were laboring12 under a big glass roof,
[10:08.47]but Belton and Son used only the ground floor of this old house.
[10:12.51]A number of small businesses—a tailor or two,
[10:16.15]a lamp manufacturer, and agents for leather goods and
[10:19.46]shop fittings—worked in single rooms above.
[10:23.35]There were packing cases stored in the hall.
[10:25.79]On the ground floor, there was a small room,
[10:28.44]made by glass dividing walls, where a typist sat.
[10:32.30]She was a large boned, round shouldered girl of seventeen,
[10:36.03]with fine yellow hair, who worked in a green woolen13 coat.
[10:40.00]This office smelled of gas, paint and tea.
[10:43.42]Next door was the room used by Mr. Thomas Belton and Mr. John Belton,
[10:48.84]and beyond was the large workroom,
[10:50.49]from which one could hear the noise of hammering and machinery14.
[10:54.74]Patterns of cloth and samples of plastic coverings
[10:57.36]were on a large desk where the two managers sat in their office.
[11:01.19]And there I waited alone, listening to the typewriter.
[11:04.90]It was an old fashioned one,
[11:06.57]and it crashed up and down as the typist worked.
[11:10.53]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[11:15.99]26.Where was the Butifix furniture factory?
[11:34.37]27.What did the writer notice about the typist?
[11:52.32]28.What was on the desk in the office used by Mr. Belton?
[12:12.05]Passage Two
[12:13.47]There is a strange area in the Atlantic Ocean
[12:16.09]called the Bermuda Triangle.
[12:18.41]People have been fascinated15 by the Bermuda Triangle for years,
[12:21.98]because of the mysterious disappearance16 of
[12:24.32]many ships and planes in the area.
[12:27.15]There is hardly any agreement about the cause of these disappearances17.
[12:31.55]In fact, it is difficult to find any agreement about
[12:34.49]the boundaries of the area.
[12:36.38]Whereas most people argue that
[12:38.09]the triangle's northern most point is Bermuda,
[12:40.60]its western most point is Florida,
[12:42.85]and its eastern point is the Coast of Africa,
[12:46.05]a few researchers prefer the northern point to be in the Boston area.
[12:51.46]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[12:57.21]29. On what do most people agree?
[13:14.97]30. According to the passage, what have been lost in the Bermuda Triangle?
[13:34.64]31. Where does the Bermuda Triangle lie?
[13:53.51]Passage Three
[13:54.96]Mark Twain, who wrote the story we're going to read,
[13:58.24]traveled quite a lot, often because of circumstances.
[14:02.31]Usually financial circumstances, forced him to.
[14:06.05]He was born in Florida, Missouri in 1835 and moved to Hanibul,
[14:11.25]Missouri with his family when he was about four years old.
[14:14.77]Most people think he was born in Hanibul, but that isn't true.
[14:18.98]After his father died, when he was about 12,
[14:21.93]Twain worked in Hanibul for a while and
[14:23.72]then left so he could earn more money.
[14:26.04]He worked for a while as a typesetter on various newspapers
[14:29.46]and then got a job as a river pilot on the Mississippi.
[14:32.73]Twain loved this job and many of his books show it.
[14:36.74]The river job didn't last, however,
[14:38.74]because of the outbreak of the Civil War.
[14:41.79]Twain was in the Confederate Army for just two weeks and
[14:45.21]then he and his whole company went
[14:47.57]West to get away from the war and the army.
[14:50.84]In Nevada and California,
[14:53.21]Twain prospected18 for silver and gold without much luck,
[14:56.74]but did succeed as a writer.
[14:59.07]Once that happened, Twain traveled around the country
[15:01.93]giving lectures and earning enough money to go to Europe.
[15:05.45]Twain didn't travel much the last ten years of his life
[15:08.53]and he didn't publish much, either.
[15:10.71]Somehow, his travels, even when forced, inspired his writings.
[15:16.49]Like many other popular writers,
[15:18.78]Twain derived19 much of the materials for his writing
[15:22.13]from the wealth and diversity of his own personal experiences.
[15:26.85]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[15:32.01]32. The speaker focuses on which aspect of Mark Twain's life?
[15:51.26]33. Where do most people think that Twain was born?
[16:09.49]34. What job did Twain especially love?
[16:27.74]35. Why did Twain go West?
[16:46.13]Section C
[16:48.09]Electronic mail systems are either computerized or noncomputerized.
[16:53.43]Important among the computerized systems are
[16:56.41]the terminal based ones organized into networks of various sizes.
[17:01.47]Most noncomputerized electronic mail systems such as
[17:04.89]facsimile units of various kinds are simple,
[17:07.98]turnkey systems that require little effort to install.
[17:12.05]Though often of value in conventional applications,
[17:15.65]these systems have only interim(间歇) worth in office automation20
[17:19.85]unless they can be electronically integrated21.
[17:23.63]Communication in an EMS is either synchronous22 or nonsynchronous.
[17:29.56]People involved in synchronous communication must be available
[17:33.38]at the sameabsolute time, such as during a telephone call.
[17:37.92]A nonsynchronous system frees its users from this time constraint23;
[17:42.64]sender and recipient(s) may be involved at different times.
[17:47.52]Electronic systems output soft copy or hard copy.
[17:51.91]Soft copy is preferred for its ease of manipulation24
[17:55.40]and reduction in paper handling,
[17:57.47]but many applications will continue to
[17:59.61]require hard copy for some time to come.
[18:05.25]Electronic mail systems are either computerized or noncomputerized.
[18:10.48]Important among the computerized systems are
[18:12.99]the terminal based ones organized into networks of various sizes.
[18:20.55]Most noncomputerized electronic mail systems such as
[18:23.98]facsimile units of various kinds are simple,

[18:37.42]these systems have only interim(间歇) worth in office automation
[18:41.60]unless they can be electronically integrated.
[18:47.45]Communication in an EMS is either synchronous or nonsynchronous.
[18:53.31]People involved in synchronous communication must be available

[20:05.58]Soft copy is preferred for its ease of manipulation
[20:09.10]and reduction in paper handling,
[21:00.25]but many applications will continue to

[22:04.97]the terminal based ones organized into networks of various sizes.
[22:10.46]Most noncomputerized electronic mail systems such as
[22:13.88]facsimile units of various kinds are simple,
[22:16.94]turnkey systems that require little effort to install.
[22:21.00]Though often of value in conventional applications,
[22:24.60]these systems have only interim(间歇) worth in office automation

[23:00.86]Soft copy is preferred for its ease of manipulation
[23:04.27]and reduction in paper handling,
[23:06.46]but many applications will continue to
