Part I. Listening Comprehension

Section A

Directions: In this section you will hear ten short conversations. At the end of each conversation, a question will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the question will be spoken twice. After each conversation, there will be a pause. During the pause, you should read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide on the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

1.     M: How about going to the movies tonight, Jane?

W: I’m sorry, John. I can’t. My mother is going to New York to visit my sister, and I have to drive her to the station. How about some other time, John?

Q: Where will Jane go this evening?      

2.     W: When will my car be fixed?

M: Well, it’s noon by my watch. I think I can have it done in a couple of hours.

Q: When can the woman get her car?              

3.     M: I wish I hadn’t thrown away that list of books.

W: I thought you might. So I took it from the waste paper basket. Here it is.

Q: What do we learn about the list?              

4.     W: Mary complains that she never gets any mail.

M: That’s too bad. I’ll write her right away.

Q: What would Mary like to receive?                       

5.     M: Can you lend me ten dollars ?

W: I just spent my last dollars for groceries. I wish you had asked an hour ago.

Q: Where has the woman just been?

6.     W: Where does Jim come from?

M: He was born in Hong Kong and grew up in America, but now he is a Canadian citizen.

Q: Where does Jim presently live?   

7.     W: John, will you turn off TV and do me a favor? I’m running out of salt.

M: OK, I’ll be back in a minute.                  

Q: What is John going to do?                   

8.     W: I hope I can find my passport somewhere in the hotel.

M; Look in your suitcase again, you couldn’t have forgotten that.

Q: What is the woman looking for?        

9.     M: The train leaves at half past eight.

W: Oh, God. The bus hasn’t come yet. We’d better take a taxi. Otherwise 40 minutes doesn’t give us enough time even to reach the station.

    Q: At what time did the conversation take place?     

10.  W: Have you found anything wrong with my stomach?

M: Not yet. I’m still examining. I’ll let you know the result next week.

Q: What is the probable relationship between the man and the woman?   

Section B

Directions: In this section you will hear a conversation. The conversation will be spoken twice. There are five questions about the conversation. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Decide on the best answer and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Waitress:Good evening sir, madam. A table for two?

Man:  No, thank you. But can you do me a favor?

Waitress: Sure. What can I do for you?

Man:  We’re looking for a motel. Are there any motels nearby?

Waitress: Yes, there is one. It is quiet and comfortable and the price is reasonable as well.

Man:  Is it far from here?

Waitress: No, it is not far from here. It is next to a small post office.

Man:  It sounds good. How long does it take us to get there by car?

Waitress : It only takes you about ten minutes. 

Man:  How can we get there?

Waitress: Drive straight for about five or six minutes and turn right, then you’ll see it.

Man:  That’s very nice. Thank you very much for your help.

Waitress:That’s all right.

Section C

Directions: In this section you will hear a passage. The passage will be read twice. There are five questions about the passage. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Decide on the best answer and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Now I’d like to talk to you about the final exam. The exam will be held next Thursday, the last day of the exam week. Remember to bring along two or three pens in case you run out of ink. Unlike the midterm, this test will not include multiple choice questions. It will consist entirely of essays.

You will have to answer three of the five essay questions. The exam will be comprehensive, which means you will be tested on all the subjects we’ve covered in class. I would suggest you review your midterms as well as the textbook and your class notes. The final will account for 50% of your grade in the course, the research project will account for 20%, and the midterm 30%. I’ll be in my office almost all day on Tuesday next week. If you run into any problems, please don’t hesitate to ask me questions.

Good luck with your study, and I’ll see you on Tuesday.
