[00:03.94]Section A
[00:05.97]11. M: I'm going to revise my report.
[00:09.36]W: I think you should leave it well enough alone.
[00:12.39]Q: What does the woman think the man should do?
[00:31.00]12. W: I had a car to use this weekend.
[00:34.71]M: You could always rent one.
[00:36.50]Q: What does the man mean?
[00:57.98]W: No, he's reminded me a thousand times.
[01:01.34]Q: What does Susan say about Jack?
[01:19.95]14. W: Did you ask Helen to go to the party?
[01:22.98]M: She's always at a meeting.
[01:25.64]Q: What does the man mean?
[01:43.04]15. W: Let's try to find seats near the stage.
[01:46.75]M: We'll be lucky if we can find a place to stand.
[01:49.78]Q: What does the man mean?
[02:19.20]16. W: Wasn't Tom hired for the job?
[02:22.57]M: No, and he can't get over the disappointment.
[02:26.03]Q: What's the man saying about Tom?
[02:44.62]17. W: Your article in the paper was perfect.
[02:48.59]M: I only wished they had published the entire thing.
[02:51.71]Q: What do we learn from the man's response?
[03:09.91]18. W: Is this the line for purchasing the tickets?
[03:13.50]M: Yes, but the tickets are only for the late performance.
[03:17.66]Q: What does the man mean?
[03:36.15]Now you'll hear two long conversations.
[03:39.53]Conversation One
[03:45.85]M: Oh. I forgot about that.
[03:47.86]W: You always forget.
[03:50.16]M: I guess I do. How much do I owe you?
[03:52.82]W: Just $13.
[03:54.35]M: Thirteen dollars?
[03:55.66]Why do I owe you that much?
[03:57.28]Just seems like I paid you the other day.
[03:59.73]W: No. You forget every Saturday, and it has been piling up.
[04:04.87]M: Well, I'm not sure if I have that much.
[04:08.30]W: Go to the bank. You have lots of money.
[04:10.76]M: Lots of money, uh? Uh, well, I think the bank is closed.
[04:14.72]W: Then, what about your secret money jar under your bed?
[04:17.74]M: Oh, I guess I could do that.
[04:19.99]So, what are you going to do with the money?
[04:24.44]give some to the poor people,
[04:26.14]and use the rest to buy books.
[04:28.64]M: Well, that sounds great.
[04:30.91]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[04:41.10]19. How much does the father owe his daughter in allowance?
[05:00.09]20. Why hasn't the father given his daughter allowance?
[05:20.06]21. How will the man get money to pay his daughter?
[05:38.81]22. Choose one thing the girl does NOT mention about how she will spend her money.
[06:01.68]Conversation Two
[06:04.12]M: So, what do you want to do tomorrow?
[06:06.80]W: Well, let's look at this city guide here.
[06:09.44]Uh, here's something interesting.
[06:11.94]Why don't we first visit the art museum in the morning?
[06:15.84]M: Okay. I like that idea. And where do you want to eat lunch?
[06:19.76]W: How about going to an Indian restaurant?
[06:22.59]The guide one downtown a few from the museum.
[06:26.15]M: Now that sounds great.
[06:27.32]After that, what do you think about visiting the zoo?
[06:30.05]Well, It says here that there are some
[06:33.26]very unique animals not found anywhere else.
[06:36.53]W: Well, I'm not really interested in going there.
[06:40.16]Yeah. Why don't we go shopping instead?
[06:42.83]There are supposed to be some really nice places to go.
[06:47.02]M: Nah, I don't think that's a good idea.
[06:49.76]We only have few travelers' checks left,
[06:53.05]and I only have fifty dollars left in cash.
[07:00.44]M: Oh, no. I remember the last time you used my credit card for your purchases.
[07:06.32]W: Oh, well. Let's take the subway down to the seashore and walk along the beach.
[07:11.07]M: Now that sounds like a wonderful plan.
[07:13.98]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

[07:39.15]24. What kind of restaurant do they want to visit for lunch?
[07:58.21]25. Why does the man want to visit the zoo in the afternoon?
[08:19.40]Section B
[08:20.92]Passage One
[08:22.77]Sometimes the simplest of tools is the most useful.
[08:26.80]Consider, for example, the ruler.
[08:29.35]A ruler is mainly used to measure and draw straight lines on flat surfaces.
[08:34.37]It does not have a great many uses,
[08:36.97]especially since parents and teachers
[08:42.51]Some rulers are clear and can be seen through,
[08:46.56]some made of metal,
[08:50.60]People carry them in their shirt pockets, briefcases8,
[08:54.18]or purses, to have them available for use any time.
[09:10.87]Who, on the other hand,
[09:12.42]could survive without the simple tools mentioned here?
[09:16.14]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[09:22.24]26. What is the main idea of this passage?
[09:40.66]27. Which of the following is true about rulers?
[10:00.31]28. What does the speaker say about jet planes?
[10:07.65]Passage Two
[10:09.72]In ancient times the most important examinations15 were spoken, not written.
[10:15.16]In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome,
[10:17.58]testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
[10:22.92]In the European universities of the Middle Ages,
[10:25.89]students who were working for advanced degrees
[10:28.95]had to discuss questions in their field of study with people
[10:33.16]who had made a special study of the subject.
[10:38.01]This custom exists today as part of the process of
[10:41.69]testing candidates16 for the doctor's degree.
[10:45.66]Generally, however, modern examinations are written.
[10:49.65]The written examination14,
[10:51.40]where all students are tested on the same questions,
[10:54.61]was probably not known until the nineteenth century.
[10:58.00]Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population
[11:03.00]and the development of modern industry.
[11:05.75]A room full of candidates for a state examination,
[11:09.87]timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers,
[11:15.04]resembles a group of workers at an automobile18 factory.
[11:20.07]Certainly, during examinations teachers and students
[11:23.47]are expected to act as machines.
[11:30.28]It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions.
[11:34.74]To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions,
[11:39.04]each of which has only one correct answer.
[11:43.16]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[11:49.52]29. How did students in Middle Ages take a test?
[12:08.94]30. When did the written examination come into existence?
[12:28.55]31. Which of the following might be the reason of the application of written examination?
[12:51.71]Passage Three
[12:53.18]Today's first aid topic is about handling a choking incident.
[12:58.09]In terms of the environment in which it occurs,
[13:00.79]choking is one of the strangest and most unusual of medical emergencies.
[13:05.60]First, it generally occurs in happy, lighthearted circumstances,
[13:10.69]when everything appears to be going right.
[13:13.01]For example, choking incidents often take place at parties,
[13:17.66]where there are lots of people laughing and having a good time.
[13:20.83]Second, choking can happen to anyone,
[13:23.63]young or old, sick or well, alone or with others, at other time.
[13:29.39]Everybody should know what action to take
[13:32.17]in the event of a choking incident.
[13:34.58]It could happen to someone you know,
[13:36.94]or even to you, at any time.
[13:40.63]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[13:46.82]32. What kind of medical emergency is choking according to the passage?
[14:08.30]33. Where does choking incidents often take place?
[14:27.33]34. Who is most likely to become a choking victim?
[14:46.60]35. What does this passage most probably belong to?
[15:07.00]Section C
[15:09.27]Among the various forms of the sources of energy,
[15:13.04]natural gas has been a favorite among U.S.consumers
[15:16.67]for more than 30 years.
[15:19.03]It has a number of outstanding characteristics
[15:22.43]that add to its popularity20 among consumers.
[15:26.25]First of all, natural gas is a comparatively clean burning fuel.
[15:32.11]Second, natural gas heat can be carefully controlled.
[15:36.81]This factor makes it the favorite fuel of certain industries.
[15:42.43]In the home, gas is preferred by most people for cooking
[15:54.55]and shut off quickly and easily.
[15:57.28]Besides, natural gas can be made into a liquid
[16:00.64]by a special process and then stored in tanks.
[16:04.62]This type of gas can then be transported by truck, railcar,
[16:16.55]Although the supply of natural gas in the U.S. appears to be decreasing,
[16:26.02]still remain to be discovered and produced.
[16:28.71]The challenge is to find more unexploited fuel
[16:31.95]in order to produce a continuing supply to cook food,
[16:36.72]heat homes, and provide power for industry for many years to come.
[16:44.32]Among the various forms of the sources of energy,
[16:49.75]natural gas has been a favorite among U.S.consumers

[17:24.72]In the home, gas is preferred by most people for cooking
[17:28.09]and heating because of the ease by which it can be put to work.
[18:22.69]Gas cooking stoves and furnaces can be turned on
[18:25.96]and shut off quickly and easily.
[18:28.77]Besides, natural gas can be made into a liquid
[18:32.28]by a special process and then stored in tanks.
[18:36.12]This type of gas can then be transported by truck, railcar,
[18:40.31]or pipeline to regions where transport by natural
[18:44.02]gas pipelines is not economically possible.
[19:38.21]Although the supply of natural gas in the U.S. appears to be decreasing,
[19:42.58]geologists estimate that billions of cubic feet of natural gas
[19:47.53]still remain to be discovered and produced.
[19:50.24]The challenge is to find more unexploited fuel
[19:53.10]in order to produce a continuing supply to cook food,
