[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 drawn1 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 imply3 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 deposit4.
[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 lodger5.
[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 disgrace6.
[06:41.65]That maid's useless. I want her replaced.
[06:44.77]M: Well, I'll speak to the housekeeper7 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 fancy8 stuff9.
[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.”
[09:42.77]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[09:48.29]26. How did Matthew behave at school?
[10:06.63]27. What did Matthew do when he left school?
[10:25.36]28. How did the headmaster feel about the manager's request?
[10:45.95]Passage Two
[10:47.73]The word “sports” first meant something that people did in their free time.
[10:52.17]Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.
[10:56.18]About 100 years ago the word was first used for organized games.
[11:01.29]This is the usual meaning of the world today.
[11:04.08]People spend a lot of their spare time 
[11:05.93]playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports.
[11:10.33]Such people play because they want to.
[11:12.77]A few people are paid for the sport they play 
[11:15.58]and they are called “professional athletes”, or “pros10”.
[11:19.23]They may only be pros for only a few years, 
[11:22.25]but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.
[11:25.98]For example, a professional football player in America 
[11:29.35]earns more than $100,000 a year.
[11:32.71]The stars earn a lot more.
[11:34.60]Some international golf and tennis pros can make more than a million dollars a year.
[11:39.96]Of course, only a few pros can earn much money.
[11:43.23]But perhaps the most surprising thing about pros and money is this:
[11:47.87]the stars can earn more money from advertising11 than from sports.
[11:53.06]An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say “Buy our things.” 
[11:57.99]It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as the pros have.” 
[12:02.45]Famous pros can even advertise things like watches and food.
[12:06.76]They allow companies to use their names 
[12:08.71]or photographers and they are paid for this usage12.
[12:12.22]Sports are no longer just something for people's spare time.
[12:16.30]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[12:22.87]29. What is a “pro2”?
[12:40.56]30. Who can earn over $1,000,000 a year?
[12:59.73]31. If a pro wants to earn more money, what should he or she do?
[13:19.26]Passage Three
[13:20.61]The “American dream” is an idea that grew from TV programs, 
[13:24.78]books, and stories about family life. 
[13:27.94]The idea began in the 1950s, after World War Ⅱ.
[13:31.82]What was the “dream”?
[13:33.47]As the first step, families bought 
[13:35.41]or built a comfortable little home in the suburbs13
[13:38.39]This often meant a long commute14 to work. 
[13:41.06]Many husbands road the train or drove two hours each day, 
[13:44.78]but this was part of the dream.
[13:47.31]The husband “wore the pants” in the family. 
[13:49.88]He made the decisions because he went to work, 
[13:52.23]he paid the bills, and he “put” food on the table. 
[13:55.19]Of course, his wife actually cooked the meals!
[13:58.24]The wife spent her time at home. 
[14:00.57]She took care of the children and kept house. 
[14:02.67]Occasionally she found time for a hobby.
[14:05.31]According to the dream, everyone was happy with this arrangement. 
[14:08.74]This was the image that people held of the “perfect family.” 
[14:12.88]If the husband or wife felt bored or discontented, 
[14:16.22]he or she hid these feelings.
[14:19.30]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[14:24.85]32. What's the American Dream about according to the speaker?
[14:44.57]33. Where do families set up their houses?
[15:02.91]34. What is the role of the husband in the family?
[15:21.80]35. What will the husband or wife do, if he or she feels bored or unsatisfied?
[15:43.86]Section C
[15:46.04]The British are the most various newspaper readers in the world. 
[15:50.89]There are many morning papers, both national and provincial15
[15:55.59]The most famous is The Times. 
[15:57.91]Contrary to what many foreigners believe, 
[16:01.09]there is not a government newspaper. 
[16:04.27]The various newspapers usually have their own views on politics, 
[16:09.35]but they are not organs of the political parties, 
[16:12.57]with the exception16 of the Communist Morning Star.
[16:16.30]Both headlines and a variety of photographs are features of the British press.
[16:21.97]Some newspapers, such as The Times, use a few photographs.
[16:26.56]Some popular newspapers, such as The Daily Mirror, 
[16:30.73]use pictures extensively17 and also run strip18 cartoons and humorous drawings.
[16:36.88]Some of which present striking19 pictorial20 comment on politics.
[16:42.03]Besides offering features common to newspapers all over the world, 
[16:46.75]British newspapers specialize21 in pages devoted22 to 
[16:50.07]criticism of the arts and a woman's page.
[16:54.01]And nearly all papers pay special attention to 
[16:56.36]the reporting of sport and athletics23.
[16:59.97]The evening newspapers are often bought 
[17:02.56]because the purchaser wants to know the winner of a race, 
[17:06.93]or to get a good tip for a race that is still to be run.
[17:13.50]The British are the most various newspaper readers in the world. 
[17:18.09]There are many morning papers, both national and provincial. 
[17:23.87]The most famous is The Times. 
[17:26.04]Contrary to what many foreigners believe,
