Part III Listening Comprehension

Section A

1. W: When was the last time you dusted the apartment?

M: When was the last time my mother came over?

Q: What does the man imply? [B]

2. W: Hurry up, Mark. There's a bus coming now.

M: Why run? There will be another one in two or three minutes.

Q: What does the man mean? [C]

3. M: Laura, it seems that you are up to your neck in work. How come you’ve been so busy? W: Miss Smith has asked for a sick leave, and I have to take over her work for a couple of days. Q: What do we learn about the woman? [C]

4. W: Washing dishes at the cafeteria every day is really boring.

M: Why don’t you quit and deliver flowers with me?

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do? [A]

5. W: Rod, you said you’d take this package to the post office yesterday.

M: Oh, no, it must have slipped my mind.

Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?[D]

6. M: Tm not surprised that you didn't like that movie. I found it really scary myself.

W: So did I. I don’t care much for horror movies as a rule.

Q: What do we learn from the conversation? [B]

7. M: My life experience tells me that love is filled with happiness but it hurts you too.

W: Your words remind me of this saving "honey is sweet but the bee stings".

Q: What do we learn from the conversation?[C]

8. M: How many more chairs should I bring in for the forum, six or seven?

W: Bring in ail you can find, I’m expecting at least 20 participants.

Q: What are the speakers talking about?[A]

Now you'll hear the two long conversations.

Conversation One

M: Do you think there^ discrimination against women in England today?

W: Certainly. And not just in education and work either, in many other fields as well. The tax situation for women is very unfair, for example.

M: Are women better off in other countries then?

W: It depends on the country. [9]There’s certainly much less discrimination in Scandinavia, and maybe in America, too.

M: Do you think the position of English women will improve?

W: In some ways it will, of course. [l0]I’m sure more women will go out to work in the next 20

years. But women have a much greater problem than this to solve.

M: What’s that?

W: The problem of men's attitudes. We can earn more money in the future, but Fm not sure we can change men's attitudes. You see, most men really think that women are inferior. Maybe we are physically weaker, but I don't think this means we are inferior. Then there’s another problem.

M: Yes?

W: The problem of women’s attitudes. Lots of women are unhappy with their present situation, but most of them probably don’t want to fight for chan ge. It could be that [11]the women’s liberation movement has to spend more time changing women’s attitudes than it spends in changing men’s.

M: One last question. Some supporters of the women’s liberation movement believed that marriages should be abolished. You agree?

W: No, I don't. It can't happen. What may and should happen is that we teach men to spend more time looking after children and doing housework.

9. Where are women said to be less discriminated against? [B]

10. W hat will happen in England in 20 years according to the conversation? [D]

11. What does the woman think the women’s liberation movement should do? [D] Conversation Two

Conversation Two

M: Cheers, Shirley.

W: Cheers, Paul, [12] What a lovely place for a business lunch. I hope I can concentrate in this heat.

M: I’m sure you will when I tell you about my ideas.

W: You know, I must say I was pleased to hear from you. But from what you said on the phone, everything is so sudden.

M: Well, [l3]my father-in-law, who is also the Managing Director of Jayal Motors, has given me two weeks to prepare a report on the possibility of moving into the export market. W: Ah, now, just one thing, Paul. Have you really thought the whole idea through?

M: Of course, I have.

W: [14]Now the key thing in the whole operation is to get a good import agent and you say the bank will help?

M: Fm almost sure of it.

W: Preliminary studies are all very good, Paul. But if the product can't sell, then there's little use in expanding the factory.

M: Yes, I realize that, Shirley. But we have a very good product. The chief designer has just completed a new improved model.

W: I know your bikes have a very good reputation here, but you have to build up a reputation and a market in Africa

M: Yes, of course. But the immediate problem is that my father-in-law wants a detailed report by next Monday. Two weeks isn't enough time to prepare a report, so I need your help. W: OK, Paul. You’ve convinced me. I must say [15]I admire your determination.

12. W here does the conversation most probably take place?[A]

13. What do we learn about the man’s father-in-law?[C]

14. What does the woman think is important in the whole operation?[B]

15. W hat does the woman admire in the man?[D]

Section B

Passage One

Scientists understand how twins are born. [16]Now, though, they are trying to explain how being half of a biological pair influences a twin’s identity. They want to know why many identical twins make similar choices even when they don’t live near each other. For example, Jim Springer and Jim Louis are identical twins. They were separated when they were only four months old. [17]The two Jims grew up in different families and did not meet for 39 years. When they finally met, they discovered some surprising similarities between them. Both men were married twice. Their first wives were named Linda, and their second wives were both named Betty. Both twins named their first sons James Allan. Scientists want to know what influences our personality. [17]They study pairs of identical twins who grew up in different surroundings, like Jim Springer and Jim Louis. [18]These twins help scientists understand the connection between environment and biology. Researchers at the University of Minnesota studied 350 sets of identical twins who did not grow up together. They discovered many similarities in their personalities. Scientists believe that personality characteristics such as friendliness, shyness and fears are not a result of environment. These characteristics are probably inherited. Scientists continue to study identical twins because they are uncertain about them and have many questions. For example, they want know “Can twins really communicate without speaking?” “Can one twin really feel another twin’s pain?” Perhaps with more research scientists will find the answers.

16. What are scientists trying to explain according to the passage?[A]

17. What do we learn about the twin Jims?[B]

18. Why are scientists interested in studying identical twins raised in different families?[A]

Passage Two

Today I’m going to ta lk about tents. [19 ] Camping is still one of the cheapest ways of having a holiday. And each year, over three million people take camping vacations, either here in Britain or abroad, mostly on the Continent. Obviously, camping can't be as comfortable as living in a permanent house, but modem tents can be very comfortable indeed, with windows, bedrooms, kitchens and sitting-rooms. [20]The most popular tent sold in Britain is the terne tent with two bedrooms and sleeping accommodation for four people. There is usually an outer tent of water-proof fabric and a lighter inner tent or tents with a built-in groundsheet. The outer tent fits over the framework. This is made of metal poles which are fitted together. The inner tent is attached to this frame. Generally, the inner tent is about half the area of the outer tent The other half of the outer tent is the living area This doesn’t usually have a groundsheet, but you can buy one to fit, though it costs extra. The ordinary four-bed frame tent doesn’t usually have a separate kitchen area? but the larger ones often do. [211 You can buy a kitchen extension for many tents, and it’s worth buying one if you plan to stay camping in one place for more than a few days.

19. What does the speaker say about camping?[D]

20. W hat does the passage tell us about the most popular tent sold in Britain?[B]

21. What does the speaker suggest buying if you plan to stay camping in one place for more

than a few days?

Passage Three

Andorra, one of the smallest countries in the world, is located high in the mountains between France and Spain. [22]The country covers only 179 square miles. That is less than half the size of New York City. High, rocky mountains surround Andorra. [23]Until the 1930s, travelers had difficulty reaching the country. Up until that time, people in Andorra lived the way they had

lived for centuries. Most Andorrans worked as farmers. Things did not change quickly. [24] When roads were built from France and Spain to Andorra in the 1930s, life picked up speed. Tourists began to visit the small country. These tourists brought in a lot of money to spend while visiting. Many people in Andorra found new jobs in shops or hotels. These changes helped to keep young people in Andorra. There were many more jobs than before the roads were built Today tourists provide 80 to 90 percent of Andorra’s income. More than a million people visit each year. They come to view the rough mountains. They enjoy the quiet way of life. Most people are also interested in the ancient buildings. There are many shops for tourists to browse in. Clothes, watches, wines and other items are sold at low prices in Andorra. Import fees are low, so tourists enjoy the inexpensive shopping. Most of the businesses in Andorra are owned by its citizens. There are not many foreign businesses. Some Andorrans still farm and raise sheep and cattle. [25]But most are now involved with the tourist trade.

22. H ow big does the speaker say Andorra is?[A]

According to the Scottish Daily Record. Abergeldie castle located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland was built by Sir Alexander Gordon of Midmar who later became the Earl of Huntly. The castle which is located on 11,700 acres was leased to members of the royal family between 1848 and 1970, including King Edward VII and George V.
