02年5月 托福听力文字
More haste less speed. Easy does it.
Part A
1．M: I think I'll run down to the bookstore and take up a few things
W: But aren't we going to meet Sally at the student center? She is expecting us at 4. And it's almost that now.
2．W: Congratulations! I heard about your new job.
M: Thanks. Yes, nearly perfect for me. It's really interesting. The hours are ideal and it's an easy walk from home. If only the pay were half as good as everything else.
3．W: Do you know anyone who is driving to the conference in Boston next weekend?
M: Pete is. I think he has room for another person.
4．M: Did I hear you say you are using the newspaper in your political science class? I was wondering if when you finish it, you can pass it on to me?
W: Well, we do use it in class. But I always read the copy at the library.
5．W: I’ve noticed that you haven't been getting along too well with your roommate lately.
M: You’ve got that right. And it's going to be a long time before I feel comfortable with him again.
6．W: How did you ever manage to get through all 1000 pages of that new spy thriller（侦探小说）?
M: It took a while. But once I had started it, I couldn't put it down.
7．M: Hi, Pamela, how are you doing? I heard you had an operation over the spring break.
W: Yes, Bill. Thanks for asking. I was pretty much out of commission（不能使用、退役） for a few weeks there. But finally I'm back on my feet again.
8．W: How about a little tennis? Say Saturday or Sunday?
M: It sounds great. I could use a good workout（锻炼）. It seems like all I have been doing lately is sitting in front of this computer.
9．W: Did you read today's newspaper? I heard there is something about a new wonder drug（神奇新药）.
M: I did read an article about medical researchers being on the verge 1 of（接近） a major breakthrough.
10. M: Where have you been? We were supposed to meet at the library half an hour ago.
W: Yeah, I know. I'm really sorry. I guess I just lost track of the time.
11. M: I'm sorry. But you can't take your camera inside. You'll have to leave it here and pick it up after the concert.
W: Well, I guess it's too late to take it back to the car. Please be careful with it. It belongs to my roommate, and she'd never forgive me if anything happens to it.
12. M: The application instructions say to enclose a check or money order for twenty dollars. But I don't have a checking account（活期存款）.
W: You can just pick up a money order（汇票）at the post office.
13. M: You know, I really think you should run for class president. Everybody knows you and likes you. And you’ve got some great ideas.
W: Thanks. I have thought about it. But, I'm taking six classes and working a part-time job, and that's about all I can handle right now.
14. M: I'm having a few friends over for a lunch tomorrow. It'll be great if you can join us.
W: I doubt I'll be able to make it. My brother is leaving for Chicago tomorrow afternoon. And I promised to give him a ride to the airport.
15. W: My cousin Lisa said she mailed me some books. But they never came.
M: Well, you just moved into a new dormitory. She probably sent them out before she had your new address.
16. M: Excuse me. Do you have the time?
W: Actually I'm not positive. But I'd say it's right around noon.
17. W: My dinner tastes kind of funny.
M: Then why don't you have the waiter bring you something else.
18. W: Did Mary meet you at the airport yesterday?
M: Yes. But she sure got tired waiting for my flight to get in. We circled
the airport（在机场上空盘旋） for three hours.
19. W: About this survey on the quality of life in the dorm. I feel sort of awkward 2 because, well, I'm not realy comfortable here. Are you sure you want me to fill out this survey form?
M: It's people like you who can help us target areas(找出有问题的地方) for improvement.
20. M: I'm the only one in class who didn't sign up for the biology field trip. Slogging through(艰难穿越) a swamp 3 in the rain can't be fun.
W: Nope. But I've got the feeling your classmates will come back knowing some things you won't know.
21. W: What are you watching?
M: Some boring comedy show. But the Channel 6 news is on in a couple of minutes.
22. M: Excuse me, Professor Jones. I was absent from the first class and I heard that's when you handed out the course outline. Would you happen have an extra copy?
W: I don't have anyone with me. But, there are a few left in my office. Why don't you stop by after class.
23. W: So, how did Jason's presentation go?
M: It wasn't bad. But the topic he chose last time was much more interesting.
24. M: Would you happen to know somebody who'd like to buy my car?
W: Well, I don't know of anyone off hand(立刻). But I'll check with some of my friends.
25. W: Do you know where the nearest bus stop is?
M: Actually I'm pretty new to this area.
26. M: Did you hear the weather report says we are going to get at least a foot of snow tomorrow?
W: That much! That's incredible 4. I can't wait to get outside and play in it.
27. W: Growing up we never had a TV. So, even now I'm not used to watching it much.
M: Well, it's kind of like reading. Some things you find are great, but a lot are real waste of time. You have to pick and choose.
28. W: I love this hat. And look, it's on sale.
M: Yes, but it doesn't do much for you. What about the green one? It's a little expensive. But it really looks great on you.
29. M: That's a really interesting shirt. Must be from your vacation. Huh?
W: No. But you are close. My sister brought it back from Hawaii for me.
30. W: Bill, your company isn't moving to the west coast after all.
M: Well, not for the time being（暂时）. But I've been looking into other employment opportunities here anyway. Just in case.
