[00:02.08]Section A
[00:03.61]11. W: When is Eric coming?
[00:06.03]M: Well, it's 10∶30 now. I think he'll come in 50 minutes.
[00:09.88]Q: When will Eric arrive?
[00:30.29]M: He sells vegetables and fruits in his store.
[00:33.47]Q: Who is Jack?
[00:50.66]13. M: I thought you were planning to take the psychology2 course.
[00:59.14]Q: What did the students' advisor do?
[01:17.52]14. W: Are you going to buy a color TV?
[01:20.62]M: Hardly. A color TV is beyond my means.
[01:23.67]Q: What does the man mean?
[01:42.01]15. W: Are you doing anything tonight?
[01:44.06]M: There's supposed to be a good movie on Channel 8.
[01:46.74]Q: What does the man mean?
[02:04.14]16. W: You look cold and tired. How about a cup of tea?
[02:08.48]M: That's just what the doctor ordered.
[02:10.58]Q: What does the man mean?
[02:28.17]17. M: Would you like to stop for a rest now?
[02:31.12]W: We're almost at the top of the hill.
[02:33.50]Q: What does the woman want to do?
[02:51.56]18. W: We're going to the cafeteria now. Are you coming?
[02:55.11]M: I'm waiting for a phone call.
[03:15.88]Now you'll hear two long conversations.
[03:19.47]Conversation One
[03:21.59]M: Hello, National Express Courier Company,
[03:23.97]Customer Service Department.
[03:25.51]W: Hello, I have some questions about a package
[03:28.15]I'm going to send, can you help me?
[03:29.79]M: Yes. What would you like to know?
[03:31.80]W: I have a box of homemade candy.
[03:33.72]And I want to send it to my sister; it's a birthday present.
[03:36.74]Do you have any special rules about delivering food?
[03:39.79]M: No, not in this case. If you were sending fruits or vegetables,
[03:45.51]But there are no rules about sending candy.
[03:47.97]W: OK, I have another question.
[03:50.32]I'm very concerned about the package reaching my sister on time.
[03:53.91]Can you make it sure that it will be there by her birthday on Saturday?
[03:58.22]M: Where does it have to go?
[03:59.66]W: California.
[04:00.69]M: Hmm. Saturday's only four days away.
[04:06.68]but it's more expensive than our regular rate.
[04:08.75]W: Well, I don't want to waste money,
[04:10.97]but it's more important that the package be there on time.
[04:13.55]M: OK. Bring your package to the office, and we'll send it by priority service.
[04:18.05]W: OK. I'll do that.
[04:20.03]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[04:25.29]19. Why is the woman calling the delivery company?
[04:44.06]20. What is the woman sending to her sister?
[05:02.93]21. What day is the day when the conversation takes place?
[05:22.33]22. Which method will the woman probably use to send her package?
[05:43.32]Conversation Two
[05:45.76]W: Mr. Bush, I'm Susanna Anderson.
[05:48.19]M: Well, hello. It's early and you've come a long way just for an interview.
[05:51.99]W: Yes, sir. I read your ad in the paper and my parents said that
[05:55.97]this is a very reputable firm and since I want to be a lawyer someday
[06:00.41]I think this job will give me a good start.
[06:02.72]M: I see. Of course you realize it will be dull for a while.
[06:05.85]You wouldn't get to practice law right off.
[06:08.37]W: Oh, I realize that, sir.
[06:10.21]M: It would be mostly filing,
[06:12.38]tracking things down and looking things up.
[06:17.42]and bringing things that the lawyer forgot.
[06:19.63]Even running down to get them a sandwich now and then.
[06:22.61]W: I wouldn't mind that, sir.
[06:24.22]At least I could get the feel of a law office.
[06:26.87]M: What kind of a lawyer do you want to be, Susanna?
[06:29.22]W: A corporation10 lawyer, sir. I'm good at figures.
[06:32.32]M: Oh! That's interesting. What grade are you in?
[06:34.69]W: I'll be a senior next year.
[06:36.41]M: You realize this job doesn't pay very much, don't you?
[06:38.94]W: Yes, sir. But I can get by.
[06:41.30]Experience and education are more important, now.
[06:44.14]M: Well, Susanna, if you are smart enough to figure that out,
[06:46.94]you are smart enough for this job.
[06:48.57]When can you come to work?
[06:50.35]W: Right now, sir! You mean it?
[06:52.14]M: Yes, you've got yourself a job.
[06:54.44]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[07:20.08]24.Why doesn't she mind doing some odd jobs first?
[07:39.42]25.What does she think about the pay of the job?
[07:58.37]Section B
[08:00.28]Passage One
[08:02.19]People differ in their points of view on time.
[08:05.18]If an American from the North makes an appointment with someone in an office,
[08:09.86]such as a professor, a manager or an official, for 11:00 a.m.,
[08:14.29]he will probably arrive at the office earlier—
[08:16.83]maybe about five minutes before eleven.
[08:19.11]He will tell the secretary that he has arrived for the 11:00 appointment, and will wait.
[08:23.99]The American will wait comfortably for five or ten minutes.
[08:27.41]But after ten minutes,
[08:28.69]he will become uncomfortable and a little annoyed.
[08:31.62]On the other hand,
[08:36.70]he may not arrive in the office until 11:15 or 11:20.
[08:41.52]He will not be surprised if he has to wait until 11:45.
[08:44.90]The idea of what is early and what is late differs from culture to culture.
[08:50.81]Questions 26 to 27 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[08:56.10]26. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
[09:15.52]27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
[09:35.62]Passage Two
[09:44.46]The price didn't matter,
[09:45.61]since business had been particularly good for him that year.
[09:52.01]he chose an excellent black one that cost $5,000.
[09:56.10]He paid for the pearl in cash and left.
[09:58.82]A few days later the man returned and said that his wife had liked
[10:02.60]the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it.
[10:06.70]It had to be exactly the same.
[10:08.39]"Can you possibly give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?" asked the man.
[10:13.47]The jeweler regretfully replied,
[10:15.61]"I would say it's almost impossible to find one like that pearl."
[10:20.07]The millionaire insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspaper,
[10:23.59]and offered $25,000 for the matching pearl.
[10:26.87]Many people answered the ad,
[10:28.49]but nobody had a pearl that was just right.
[10:31.49]Just when the jeweler had given up hope,
[10:33.34]a little old lady came into the store.
[10:39.15]"I don't like to part with it," she said sadly.
[10:43.01]and my mother inherited it from hers.
[10:45.10]But I really need the money."
[10:46.86]The jeweler was quick to pay the old woman before she changed her mind.
[10:50.30]Then he called the millionaire's hotel to tell him the good news.
[10:53.86]The millionaire, however, was nowhere to be found.
[10:57.63]Questions 28 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[11:03.24]28. Why did the smartly dressed man come to the jewelry shop one day?
[11:22.96]29. Which of the following was of no importance to the man?
[11:42.84]30. What did the old lady take to the jewelry shop?
[12:01.38]31. How much did the shop lose in the deal?
[12:20.75]Passage Three
[12:22.60]In Britain you're allowed to drive a car when you're seventeen.
[12:31.03]someone with a full licence always has to be in the car with you
[12:34.65]because you aren't allowed to drive the car on the road alone.
[12:38.40]You don't have to go to a driving school—a friend can teach you.
[12:42.01]The person with you isn't allowed to take money for the lesson
[12:45.47]unless he's got a teacher's licence.
[12:48.23]Before you're allowed to have a full licence,
[12:50.86]you have to take a driving test.
[12:52.85]You can take a test in your own car,
[12:55.19]but it has to be fit for the road.
[12:57.15]In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour
[13:00.63]and then answer a few questions.
[13:02.83]If you don't pass the test,
[13:04.36]you're allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to.
[13:08.29]In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons!
[13:14.59]When you've passed your test, you don't have to take it again,
[13:17.69]and you're allowed to go on driving as long as you like, if you are healthy.
[13:20.77]Britain's oldest driver was a man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.
[13:27.25]Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children.
[13:31.87]Then from 1904 car drivers had to have a licence.
[13:35.91]But they didn't have to take a test until 1935.
[13:39.55]In the early days of car driving,
[13:41.51]before 1878,cars weren't allowed to go faster than four miles an hour,
[13:46.70]and someone had to lead the car with a red flag.
[13:50.48]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[13:55.80]32. Which of the following is NOT necessary for a young man who wants to drive alone?
[14:16.83]33. What must a person do in the driving test?
[14:35.59]34. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?
[14:54.52]35. What is this passage mainly about?
[15:12.98]Section C
[15:14.71]Music which is original is individual and personal.
[15:18.77]That is to say, it can be identified as belonging to a particular composer.
[15:23.59]It has particular qualities, or a style,
[15:26.32]which are not copied from one another.
[15:28.62]If you can recognize the style of a composer,
[15:31.21]you will probably be able to tell that a certain composition
[15:34.50]belongs to him or her even though you have never heard it before.
[15:40.90]and interweaving his materials to create colorful patterns,
[15:44.77]and an expert carpenter has the skill of joining together different shapes
[15:49.07]and sizes of wood to make a beautiful piece of furniture.
[15:52.97]These skills may be referred to as "workmanship".
[16:08.15]yet if tunes are poorly organized, that is, if the workmanship is poor,
[16:12.24]the final result will not be up to standard.
[16:15.31]Good music expresses feelings in a way that is suitable to those feelings.
[16:20.55]These may be joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger, or whatever.
[16:25.47]Bad music, on the other hand, may confuse unrelated feelings,
[16:29.39]it may not express any important feeling at all,
[16:37.52]Good music will stand the test of time.
[16:39.99]It will not go out of fashion but will continue to be enjoyed
[16:42.81]and respected long after it is first introduced.
[16:46.86]It will gain a kind of permanent status
[16:49.36]while bad music will disappear and be forgotten quickly.
[16:55.22]Music which is original is individual and personal.
[16:59.56]That is to say, it can be identified as belonging to a particular composer.
[17:05.26]It has particular qualities, or a style,
[17:09.03]which are not copied from one another.
[17:11.59]If you can recognize the style of a composer,
[17:15.02]you will probably be able to tell that a certain composition
[17:18.48]belongs to him or her even though you have never heard it before.
[17:22.43]A basket maker has the skill of weaving
[17:24.85]and interweaving his materials to create colorful patterns,
[17:28.73]and an expert carpenter has the skill of joining together different shapes
[17:33.76]and sizes of wood to make a beautiful piece of furniture.
[17:38.07]These skills may be referred to as "workmanship".
[17:41.49]Similarly, in music a composer organizes his melodies
[17:46.57]and rhythms and combines sounds to create harmony.
[17:50.69]A composer may be capable of thinking up very good tunes,
[17:54.66]yet if tunes are poorly organized, that is, if the workmanship is poor,
[17:59.31]the final result will not be up to standard.
[18:52.44]Good music expresses feelings in a way that is suitable to those feelings.
[18:57.28]These may be joy, sorrow, fear, love, anger, or whatever.
[19:02.48]Bad music, on the other hand, may confuse unrelated feelings,
[19:06.67]it may not express any important feeling at all,
[19:09.76]or it may exaggerate some feelings and make them vulgar, that is, cheap and ugly.
[20:05.32]Good music will stand the test of time.
[20:07.65]It will not go out of fashion but will continue to be enjoyed
[20:10.59]and respected long after it is first introduced.
[20:14.20]It will gain a kind of permanent status
[20:16.63]while bad music will disappear and be forgotten quickly.
[21:10.99]Music which is original is individual and personal.
[21:14.90]That is to say, it can be identified as belonging to a particular composer.
[21:19.70]It has particular qualities, or a style,
[21:22.43]which are not copied from one another.
[21:24.72]If you can recognize the style of a composer,
[21:27.21]you will probably be able to tell that a certain composition
[21:30.58]belongs to him or her even though you have never heard it before.
[21:34.61]A basket maker has the skill of weaving
[21:36.95]and interweaving his materials to create colorful patterns,
[21:40.89]and an expert carpenter has the skill of joining together different shapes
[21:45.17]and sizes of wood to make a beautiful piece of furniture.
[21:49.01]These skills may be referred to as "workmanship".
[21:52.49]Similarly, in music a composer organizes his melodies
[21:56.79]and rhythms and combines sounds to create harmony.
[22:00.26]A composer may be capable of thinking up very good tunes,
[22:04.09]yet if tunes are poorly organized, that is, if the workmanship is poor,
