[00:03.55]Section A

[00:04.92]11. M: Is Jim coming back right after the holiday?
[00:08.72]W: No, I don't expect to see him till next week.
[00:12.29]Q: What does the woman say about Jim?
[00:30.47]12. W: The room is filled with smoke, I can hardly breathe.
[00:34.40]M: Yes, but we are accustomed to that.
[00:36.93]Q: What conclusion can be drawn from the conversation?
[00:56.05]13. M: Where shall I plant these roses, Betty?
[00:59.65]W: Let me see. In front of the house.
[01:01.90]No. I think right here would be better.
[01:04.52]Q: Where did the conversation most probably take place?
[01:24.20]14. M: The pants are 10.00 and the shirt is 6.00.
[01:28.34]W: Here's a twenty dollar bill.
[01:30.37]Q: How much change will the woman get?
[01:48.84]15. M: Do you want to send it by airmail or by ordinary mail?
[01:53.56]W: By airmail, please. It's much quicker than that.
[01:56.77]Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?
[02:16.32]16. M: Did the boss say anything about my not being here at eight?
[02:21.32]W: She said that if she were you,
[02:23.32]she'd have made a habit of being on time.
[02:25.74]Q: Why did the man ask if his boss had said anything about him?
[02:46.38]17. M: Did you buy a birthday present for your brother?
[02:49.94]W: Not yet, but I've been thinking about getting him a record.
[02:53.11]He likes classical music.
[02:55.04]Q: Which record would the woman's brother like best?
[03:14.32]18. W: Didn't Maria go shopping with you yesterday?
[03:18.00]M: Even if she hadn't had a lot of studying,
[03:20.41]she would have preferred staying home to going shopping.
[03:24.13]Q: What does the man imply about Maria?
[03:42.36]Now you'll hear two long conversations.
[03:46.32]Conversation One.
[03:48.41]M: Excuse me, I came to look at the apartment you have advertised in the paper.
[03:52.98]W: Fine. Do you keep pets?
[03:55.10]M: No. Why?
[03:56.67]W: We don't allow that in our apartment. Are you a working boy?
[04:00.55]M: I have a part time job but I am still a student.
[04:03.40]You know, my roommate plays pop music all the time.
[04:06.51]It's so noisy that I can't concentrate on my study or even get a good sleep.
[04:11.11]Can I see the apartment now?
[04:12.88]W: OK. Let's go take a look.
[04:15.04]M: How much is the rent?
[04:16.33]W: $160 a month. And there's a one month deposit.
[04:19.77]Of course you get that back if the apartment is in good condition when you move out.
[04:24.84]M: That's a little more than I was planning on paying.
[04:27.30]I was thinking $130 or $140.
[04:30.74]W: Here we are. Come on in.
[04:32.50]M: Oh, say, this is very nice. And it's really light in here.
[04:36.10]W: The phone, stove and refrigerator go with the apartment.
[04:39.39]You have to pay the bills of course.
[04:41.70]M: I really like it. It's very convenient to the university.
[04:44.78]But would you lower the rent? Just a little. Say $150?
[04:48.87]W: Well, the rent is actually the lowest in this area.
[04:51.98]But I'd like to have a hard working student as my lodger.
[04:55.12]All right, $155 a month. I can't lower it further.
[04:58.50]M: OK, I'll take it.
[04:59.76]W: Can you make a deposit today?
[05:01.58]M: Yes. Is a $100 OK?
[05:04.20]M: Fine.
[05:05.71]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[05:12.28]19. What is the young man?
[05:29.90]20. Why does the young man want to rent an apartment?
[05:48.95]21. Why does the woman agree to lower the rent?
[06:07.48]22. How much does the young man pay as a deposit?
[06:27.76]Conversation Two
[06:30.07]W: Listen, the heating's broken in my room.
[06:32.62]When are you going to come and fix it?
[06:34.54]M: I'm sorry to hear that, Madam.
[06:36.13]I'll get someone right away.
[06:37.98]W: You'd better. It's freezing up there.
[06:40.06]And my room's a disgrace.
[06:41.65]That maid's useless. I want her replaced.
[06:44.77]M: Well, I'll speak to the housekeeper about it, Madam.
[06:48.02]W: And another thing!
[06:49.11]What are you going to do about those foreigners in number 27?
[06:52.75]Carrying on all night in that funny language!
[06:55.72]Shouting, they were.It shouldn't be allowed.
[06:58.44]M: If you like, Madam,
[06:59.87]I'll have a word with them and ask them to be a little more considerate.
[07:04.23]W: Yes, do that, will you, and then maybe I'll get some sleep.
[07:07.62]M: I'm very sorry you've been disturbed, Madam.
[07:10.66]But are you enjoying your stay apart form that?
[07:13.72]W: Well, I don't think much of the restaurant.
[07:16.43]It's all salad and fancy stuff.
[07:18.76]And the service is terrible, too.
[07:21.19]M: Well, Madam.
[07:22.38]I'm sure the waiters try to be as helpful as they can,
[07:25.99]but they are very busy at dinner.
[07:28.19]W: Well, you should get some more, shouldn't you?
[07:30.70]You should be able to afford it.
[07:33.04]You're charging enough this year, aren't you?
[07:35.80]M: I'm very sorry you feel that way about it, Madam.
[07:38.67]If there's anything else I can do to make your stay here more pleasant,
[07:42.42]please don't hesitate to ask me.
[07:44.87]W: Don't worry, I'll tell you all right!
[07:48.16]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[07:53.11]23. When did the conversation most likely take place?
[08:12.40]24. What did the man promise to do about the foreigners?
[08:31.45]25. What did the woman think about the restaurant service there?
[08:51.90]Section B
[08:54.02]Passage One
[08:55.94]Matthew Hobbs was sixteen years old.
[08:58.18]He had been at the same school for five years,
[09:00.86]and he had always been a very bad pupil.
[09:03.52]He was lazy, he fought with other pupils,
[09:06.03]he was rude to the teachers and he did not obey the rules of the school.
[09:10.07]His headmaster tried to make him work and behave better,
[09:13.69]but he was never successful — and the worst thing was that,
[09:17.56]as Matthew grew older, he had a bad influence on the younger boys.
[09:22.01]Then at last Matthew left school.
[09:23.85]He tried to get a job with a big company,
[09:26.06]and the manager wrote to the headmaster to find out
[09:28.58]what he could say about Matthew.
[09:30.82]The headmaster wanted to be honest,
[09:32.84]but he also did not want to be too bad.
[09:35.07]It took him sometime to think and he wrote,
[09:37.89]“If you can get Matthew Hobbs to work for you, you will be very lucky.”
